Chapter 71: Destroying the Enemy

Not long after Baiyintu lay down, the messy sounds outside woke him up. Baiyintu was very respectful to Huang Taiji. In contrast, he also asked his subordinates to be respectful to him. He dared to disturb his sleep. Before Baiyintu got up, he was considering how to deal with these servants who did not understand the rules.

"What's the matter!" These servants of Baiyintu finally waited for the inquiry from the house and quickly replied, "Go back to Master, the fire in the sky in the town of Baiyang, and I dare not delay to disturb Master's rest." This servant was very smart. While reporting the message, he also found a way out for himself. Unfortunately, he tried his best to figure out the words that had not worked. Baiyintu kicked open the door and rushed out, looking up at the night sky in the northwest.

"Has anyone sent someone from Xiaoyang Town to come?" After waiting for a while, Bai Yintu lowered his head and asked the slave kneeling on the ground. The slave shook his head vigorously, "Go back to Master, there is no news yet."

Baiyintu sent Gong Aday, the most stable brother among his brothers, to guard Xiaoyang Town. He didn't believe that the fourth brother would accidentally burn the granary by himself. If it wasn't for the accident, it was because of people. Baiyintu was very scared, and unknown things always scared him.

Huang Qiankun and others followed Zhou Shixiong's order and sneaked to more than a hundred steps away from the city gate to drive the horses pulling the cart forward. Before the cart could rush to the gate, they used rockets to ignite the food and grass carts that were sprinkled with tinder oil. Ten carts turned into ten fireballs, illuminating the town of Yueyang in the dark. The soldiers of Hou Jin who had just been attacked were panicked. They watched the carts rush to the gate, but they did not expect to shoot and kill the horses to stop the carts.

As the saying goes, what kind of soldiers are with the head, Bai Yintu likes power and pays attention to superiority and inferiority, and his soldiers also have similar habits. As members of Gushan Ezhen tribe of the Inlaid Yellow Banner, Gong Adae's soldiers are not as brave and fierce as other Later Jin soldiers. They are more like a group of civil servants, who pays attention to procedures in their work and cannot make preparations and judges about sudden events. They only hope that their superiors can tell them what to do.

Gong Aday also wanted someone to tell him what to do. Suddenly, all four gates were attacked, and it was the fire attack he was most afraid of. Gong Aday looked at the wooden door ignited by the grain truck and was sweating all over. Burn the wooden door and then rushed in. How could I, one thousand soldiers, defend such a large town of Yueyang! "Hurry, you guys go to Sanhe City to bring reinforcements, go to the southeast corner, and be close there."

The people who asked for help were sent out, Gong Audai quickly summoned his subordinates. There was light on all sides of the town, which made Gong Audai convenient. His subordinates didn't have to find their way in the dark night. "Then Yan, you can lead five hundred people to the east gate to test it and see who is coming!" Gong Audai was very worried that the brigade of Ming army would be coming. In that case, not only would the food and grass not be able to save the lives of his brothers.

After a while, Na Yan came back and reported that there were only dozens of cavalry outside the door. When he saw an army coming out, he ran away. The war horses he was wearing and riding looked like the Ming army. Gong A Dai was confused. Could it be that the Ming army came? He sent Na Yan to drive away the people outside the four gates of the town. Gong A Dai ordered people to repair the burned gate. Not long after, the people came back, making a fuss several hundred steps away from the gate, but there was no intention of rushing in.

Zhou Shixiong observed Jiannu's actions in the distance and found that Jiannu had not come out to arrest people. He seemed to not care about the trouble outside. "Lu Hong, take people to break the fence in the southeast corner and light those haystacks." Jiannu was even more tolerant than the Ming army, which made Zhou Shixiong very unhappy and decided to add more fire to Xiaoyang Town.

Gong Adae made two plans to concentrate his troops around him. The first is of course to protect himself, and the other reason is to facilitate command and dispatch. But Zhou Shixiong misunderstood him and thought that he did not take his plan seriously. He decided to use rude methods to show his muscles and forcefully break the fence and set fire to the fire. Lu Hong led hundreds of people to smash the fence, but none of them came to intervene, so the fire was placed thoroughly, igniting more than ten large granaries at the southern end of the town at one time.

Looking at the fire that soared into the sky, Gong Aday was stunned. It turned out that these unknown people were trying to attract their attention, and their real purpose was to set fire to the fire! "Why are you still standing stupidly? Hurry, hurry!" Seeing that these fools around you were still watching the fire, Gong Aday was furious and whipped them over with a whip, awakening these Niulu. Fortunately, someone was not stupid, so Yan raised his hand and asked, "Where are you going, Master?"

"Put the fire, where else can I go?" Gong Adaye pulled the reins and ran towards the fire. If all the food and grass were burned, Gong Adaye believed that the Khan would definitely punish their clan. Even if he didn't behead his head, he would not have a good life.

After setting the fire, Lu Hong returned to Zhou Shixiong, "Sir, Jiannu is almost unprepared, and he has the confidence to burn several other granaries."

Zhou Shixiong smiled and shook his head, "Lu Hong, if you simply set fire to burn grain, you don't have to worry about it. Just sneak in and light the fire." Seeing Lu Hong's face showing confusion, Zhou Shixiong pointed to the southeast, "There are more than 100,000 people there, how can you rescue them without food?" Lu Hong understood that burning grain is just a strategy, and the purpose of robbing grain is so complicated!

The fire was released too thoroughly, and Gong Adayai's hand was called a drop in the bucket. When Gong Adayai saw that it was not possible, he sent people to Sanhe City again for help, and at the same time sent cavalry to drive away the rioters outside the door.

Not long after Baiyintu was woken up, he waited for his younger brother's help report. Baiyintu estimated that the fire was not small from the fire. Even if the thousands of people in his hands were passing by, it would not be very safe. In addition, the person who sent the letter said that there were hundreds of rioters of unknown origin near Liyang Town, and more troops must be drawn to capture the rioters. Baiyintu was indeed a management talent. He ordered his subordinates to select two thousand young and strong people from the efforts of detention in the city, and promised them to put out the fire and keep food.

Yu Jiaao and Li Xiaobin were responsible for cutting off the retreat of Jiannu's reinforcements. When they saw thousands of people coming out of Sanhe City, they thought that the previous investigation had a situation, and Jiannu was in Sanhe City. Yu Jiaao immediately sent someone to notify Zhou Shixiong that the number of people was wrong, and more than three thousand Jiannu had left the city.

Zhou Shixiong hurried over to see the situation. Zhou Shixiong had relaxed from a distance. Only two thousand people left the city, and the other two thousand were the people of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was confirmed that Jiannu had not increased his troops, if these two thousand people were more, the battle would definitely increase variables in a while. Zhou Shixiong was one of the variables and hated variables. After thinking for a long time, he could not find a perfect solution to these two thousand people. Zhou Shixiong could only change his tactics, "Mr. Yu Qian, Mr. Li Qian, later you will strive to capture Jiannu's general alive to see if he can offer him the city."

Zhou Shixiong didn't have much time to spend in this battle. The faster he saved these people, the safer he could be. He could not take down Sanhe City before dawn, so Zhou Shixiong could only give up saving people and burn food and grass completely, forcing Jiannu to retreat.

Zhou Shixiong easily found the image of the worship from the Jiannu. This guy was so dazzling that it was difficult to admit his mistake. He wore a luxurious mink fur robe and rode a yellow horse that looked like one of the eight horses, standing out among thousands of Jiannu. The most important thing was that the group of people riding with horses were all wearing uniforms, just his strange costume.

Raising the crossbow in his hand, Zhou Shixiong aimed at the head of the Huang Pima horse with some regret. This horse must be a BMW. It was so uncomfortable to kill a BMW with his own hands! He prayed for the Huang Pima in his heart, hoping that the Huang Pima would live a better life when he got below. Then, Zhou Shixiong pulled the trigger.

With a thud, the yellow horse fell to the ground without any warning. Baiyintu felt a splash of dizziness and then a sharp pain came from his left foot, causing him to faint. Zhou Shixiong's attack marked a full-scale attack, and five hundred crossbow archers carried out a rapid strike on the Jiannu infantry. Because they could not see Jiannu clearly, they could only increase the damage to Jiannu with high-speed shooting.

Zhou Shixiong shot and killed the people who were trying to save the leader of Jiannu. Soon, more than a dozen Goshhas were shot dead by him, and no one dared to approach Huang Pima. He encountered an arrow rain attack, and more than half of the three thousand infantry were injured, most of them were injured, and only one or two hundred people died. If the crossbow guards each had the abnormal vision of Zhou Shixiong, I believe that his lethality at night would be greatly increased many times.

The Jiannu army was attacked and the Daming people who were arrested as slaves had only one idea, that is, to escape. No one ever thought about going back to fight Jiannu.

Zhou Shixiong had no time to pay attention to these people, so he ordered the fire to light and informed Lu Hong that he could take action. As the three fires ignited, Lu Hong led the 500 central cavalry to charge against the Jiannu infantry who were in chaos. This completely dispelled Jiannu's confidence in resisting. On one side was the endless rain of arrows and on the other side were the cavalry. Most of Jiannu were normal, and choosing to surrender was a natural idea.

Lu Hong rushed over and forced Jiannu to surrender and rushed back to Xiaoyang Town immediately. Zhou Shixiong ordered him to gather the central army to defeat the cavalry in the town, and it would be better to capture the leader. Zhou Shixiong was not sure whether the leader of Jiannu in the city was the boss or the leader of the cavalry was the boss. Without intelligence, he could not tell who would listen to whom.

Since he was about to surrender, Zhou Shixiong walked to Baiyintu, who was rescued from under the war horse, touched his broken leg and asked, "Does it hurt?" Baiyintu likes both Ming women and Ming culture. He has read all the Four Books and Five Classics, and speaks fluently in Chinese. He heard Zhou Shixiong ask him, and couldn't help but reply, "It's all broken, how can it not hurt!"

"Oh, you can speak Chinese? That's easy. How about I'll help you cure your injuries and you'll leave Sanhe City to me?" Baiyintu hummed in pain, and he couldn't concentrate on listening to Zhou Shixiong's words. Zhou Shixiong asked the chip to help Baiyintu stop the pain. The pain disappeared. Baiyintu's tense spirit was relaxed and he collapsed on the ground.

Zhou Shixiong said the request again, and Baiyintu asked weakly, "Who are you, why do you do this?"

"I am the governor of the Ming Dynasty Jingying Camp, so there is no need to explain why I should do this, right?" Zhou Shixiong said while helping Baiyintu's bone-correcting splint fix the wound, and then retracted the robot and let the pain hit Baiyintu's fragile nerves again.
