Chapter 412 Lightly take the granary
Outside the valley where Dai Feng was suspected to have a lot of food and grass, Gao Shun prepared food for hundreds of people for three days, various hooks, ropes and other items, and took hundreds of soldiers to climb the mountains to investigate the situation of the valley.
The mountains and forests around Zhong'an Road are extremely dense, and hundreds of people climb up the way through the thorns.
There are many wild beasts in the forest. As we go up, the beasts that Gao Shun and others encounter become stronger. However, for Gao Shun and hundreds of Yellow Turban heroes, such a few wild beasts are not a big problem and can be easily solved. The biggest problem for them is that the road to the mountain is difficult to walk. It is really not easy to find a road to the top of the mountain on a mountain that is hundreds of feet high, especially in this deep mountain that has never been passed by, and it is extremely difficult to find a road.
After half a day of climbing, Gao Shun and others only climbed to the hillside in the cliff-covered forests, and it was still quite a short distance from the top of the mountain.
In order to obtain the situation in the valley as soon as possible, Gao Shun and others continued to march at night, but in this place where cliffs are everywhere. In addition, the night is the time when wild beasts are most active and are easily attacked by a large number of beasts. Walking at night is extremely dangerous. It is only a night. Only half of the original hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers were killed by beasts when they fell off the cliffs or fought with beasts. In this case, if they come for another night, Gao Shun and hundreds of people would have to explain in this dense and steep forest.
Fortunately, after a night passed, most of the wild beasts became dormant. After half a day, Gao Shun and others finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, Gao Shun and others could overlook the valley below. As Gao Shun expected, there were many granaries several meters high in the valley, densely packed with hundreds of them. Even Gao Shun and others on the top of the mountain could clearly see these huge granaries. It is estimated that the grain in this valley is enough for hundreds of millions of units of grain, which is enough for millions of troops to use for several months.
After obtaining the information in the valley, Gao Shun and others immediately returned the same route. With the roads they had previously discovered, they did not have to explore the road while going down the mountain, which saved a lot of time. It was already late at night when they got down the mountain.
Back at the military camp at the foot of the mountain, Gao Shun sent someone to report the found situation to Yang Tao and learned that while recuperating the army and preparing for war.
Since the valley is surrounded by towering peaks, it is impossible for the army to climb the mountain to enter the valley by climbing the mountain, the only way to enter and exit the valley is a hidden path.
In this path, Gao Shun's soldiers have discovered that there are several fences composed of fences. Although these fences are not as high as the city wall and are not as thick as the city wall, the army cannot unfold under the narrow terrain of the path. If you want to break these fences in a short time, you must unexpectedly take down the fences as quickly as possible. Among Yang Tao and others, Gao Shun's troops are most suitable for the task of breaking fences.
In the path, the cavalry cannot be used, and among the infantry, only the three or four thousand Yellow Turban heroes in Bo Cai's hands can compare with the more than nine thousand Yellow Turban heroes in Gao Shun's hands. However, Bo Cai's ability to command troops is not as good as Gao Shun after all. It is the best choice to quickly break through these fences by Gao Shun.
Because Gao Shun knew this clearly, he organized a squad to wait for Yang Tao's orders as soon as he returned to the military camp.
As expected, just half an hour later, when Gao Shun had just prepared his troops and horses, he came to Gao Shun's vanguard camp with the commander command. He passed on the order: "The lord has an order to lead Gao Shun to attack the opponent's fence immediately. Be sure to break through the opponent's fence before the army arrives to provide conditions for the army to enter the valley."
After hearing the order, Gao Shun and other generals in the tent immediately ran towards the valley with their already prepared troops.
With the cover of plants and trees, and now in the middle of the night, a group of bandits guarding the fence were dozing listlessly, without notice of Gao Shun's arrival at all. It was not until within a hundred meters that someone heard a lot of footsteps in a daze and opened his eyes.
When they saw the surrounding situation clearly, Gao Shun's troops had already arrived outside the fence. A powerful Yellow Turban Strongman had no other strength. Under the cover of the famous general's skills of Gao Shun, his strength increased greatly. The mace waved in his hand attacked the fence, causing fragments to burst out and flew into all directions.
"Bang bang bang..."
Dozens of Yellow Turbans fought together, but in just one round of kung fu, it was thirty or forty meters long. The fence composed of wooden boards several inches thick and several feet high turned into pieces under the maces of dozens of Yellow Turbans.
Before the soldiers guarding outside the fence woke up, the Yellow Turbans who broke through the fence used up and dozens of Yellow Turbans waved their maces and killed hundreds of ordinary bandits in just a few seconds.
After solving the first fence, Gao Shun ran towards the second fence with his big sword and his soldiers.
Due to the movements released on the first fence, when Gao Shun and his troops arrived at the second fence, the fence guards, who had been awakened by the movement, were holding their weapons and watching Gao Shun and others coming quickly.
Gao Shun ignored it and continued to attack the fence with the Yellow Turbans. Facing the sparse rain of arrows shot from the opposite side, Gao Shun and the Yellow Turbans did not defend themselves. Let these arrows shoot on their bodies, and they could not cause too much damage to them. They rushed straight to the fence, broke through the fence with one or two strikes, and annihilated the enemy, Gao Shun continued to advance with his troops.
The third, fourth and fifth fences afterwards also could not stop Gao Shun and others from advancing. Gao Shun, the five fences entering and leaving the valley, took all the fences with the Yellow Turbans with the yellow turbans in just ten minutes with lightning speed. At this time, Gao Shun had already entered the valley.
Such a big noise in the trail also alarmed the defenders in the valley. A temporary army of thousands of people appeared in front of Gao Shun. The man with a swelling muscle was the one who had mocked the young man surnamed Liu before. He was sitting on a tall horse, wearing a delicately carved tasseled helmet and robe, holding two sledgehammers in his hand, which was like a powerful general.
The man pointed one of the hands in his hand at Gao Shun and shouted, "Who are you waiting for you to break into the Jiujiang King's Grain Deposit? Xu Gan, the governor of the Grain Deposit, is here. The thief general will not get off his horse and be surrendered!"
"Hmph!" Gao Shun just snorted coldly at Xu Gan's words, ignoring the slightest intention of rushing towards Xu Gan and others without any stop.
Seeing Gao Shun's attack with disdain, Xu Gan's anger surged up, rode his horse up, and smashed Gao Shun with a swing of his two hammers.
The two horses approached instantly, and a splendid flashed in Gao Shun's eyes. When the big knife in his hand was about to attack the double hammer, while the body on the horse's back was short and the double hammer was dodging the double hammer, the speed of the big knife suddenly increased, and a dazzling arc flashed on the blade and everything on Xu Gan's neck.
Suddenly, a big head flew up, and with an incredible pair of eyes, it seemed that he could not believe that he was killed instantly with just one move.
Xu Gan also has the strength of a four-star quasi-famous general. A powerful general figure makes the double hammering technique very good at one hand. Unfortunately, he met Gao Shun, a second-rate general. The gap in strength is too big. It is only because he has no eyesight on the battlefield, so it is not surprising that he is killed instantly.
Xu Gan was one of the guards in the granary. After Xu Gan was killed, the remaining guards were not much different from Xu Gan, and they were even worse than Xu Gan. After being led by Gao Shun, the defenders who had not yet organized a rebellion to rebel were in chaos. Then Yang Tao led the army to arrive, completely establishing the victory.
The process of attacking this valley was even smoother than Yang Tao and others imagined. There were no casualties and many soldiers and horses to capture the entire valley. The next time was the harvest.
