Attack after the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 36 Official warehouse

Wang Bodang led more than 2000 people to guard the periphery. When he encountered Sui soldiers who escaped, he gathered those who surrendered and killed those who resisted.The soldiers of the Sui battalion were terrified, and few resisted. It didn't take long for Uncle Wang to gather nearly a thousand of them.

The Yongfeng granary they wanted to rob was in Cangcheng. For food safety, the Sui Dynasty built Cangcheng outside the granary, and sent supervisors and thousands of people to guard it.

The Sui soldiers who bombed the camp this time were not originally guarding Cangcheng, but reinforcements transferred over.Yongfeng granary has been attacked by refugees several times. The grain in this granary is for the capital, so it must not be lost.In order to ensure safety, the supervisor here specially invited reinforcements.

It’s just that Cangcheng couldn’t arrange 2000 reinforcements, so they were divided into two groups, 500 were stationed outside the city, and 500 remained in the city.

After the Sui soldiers outside were dealt with, the next step was to take down Cangcheng.In fact, Cangcheng was already in chaos. The movement outside was so loud and the rumbling sound was like thunder, even the dead who guarded the city should have been awakened.Many soldiers saw the tragic situation in the Sui camp ahead, and naturally they also saw the billowing flames.

The other party invited a fairy to do it, which is what many soldiers think.The prison officer guarding the city was also a little confused, he trembled when he heard the miserable screams in the Sui camp.

"What can I do? What can I do!"

surrender?Absolutely not, if I surrendered, my family in Daxing City would have no way to survive, and I'm afraid that I would be executed as a family member of a bandit.It can only be delayed, as long as the reinforcements come, these bandits will naturally retreat without fighting.Fortunately, he had just taken advantage of the chaos and sent people to the capital and Tongguan to deliver letters, hoping to avoid those robbers.

Uncle Wang ordered people to shout at the base of the city to persuade him to surrender, but the response he received was arrows from the opponent.

"Thieves, just go straight in." Qi Guoyuan shouted, waving the golden back knife in his hand.

That warehouse city was originally built to ensure the safety of food. It is five or six meters high, and the city wall is also one foot wide. There are archery towers everywhere. Now that the gate is tightly closed, it is so easy to capture.

But they had to take it as soon as possible. Once the capital and Tongguan defenders received news, they could only retreat. This was a waste of time.

"The only solution for today is to cheat." Lin Tong looked at the thousands of Sui soldiers' captives gathered, and had an idea in his mind.

"How to cheat?"

Lin Tong pointed at those Sui soldiers who surrendered, and Wang Bodang immediately understood what the other party was thinking.Laughing loudly, he ordered people to take off all Sui Bing's clothes, and picked someone from his side to change them into.

Qi Guoyuan and the others attacked under the city several times, and several times they wanted to attack the city wall, but they were repelled by the city defenders. They retreated after leaving some corpses. They also used gunpowder several times. The defenders of the city were restless.The attack continued until dusk, and the guard guarding the city felt anxious. What sorcery was used by the opponent, it was so frightening that even the city wall would tremble when it was on fire.

The sky was slowly getting dark, and smoke and dust billowed up on the ground in the distance.

"It's reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived!" The defenders on the city saw the flag of the Sui army and shouted to report to the supervisor.After being attacked by Uncle Wang and them for a day, when they suddenly saw the reinforcements, all the soldiers in the city cheered.

The robbers surrounding the city also noticed the arrival of the reinforcements, and immediately took back the soldiers who were besieging the city, and turned around to fight.The two sides fought, and the robbers and the reinforcements were evenly tied. A young general in the reinforcements shouted to the city wall, "I am under General Wei, and quickly send people out to help out. You and I will attack from inside and outside, and destroy these thieves." .”

The supervisor hesitated a little, he didn't dare to take any risks, while he was hesitating, those robbers seemed to be getting more and more courageous as they fought, the Sui army outside the city seemed a little bit lost, and they started to retreat slowly.

The prison officer was weak-tempered, seeing that the Sui army was about to retreat, he was flustered.At this time, the young general of the Sui Army shouted for them to go out of the city and attack together. Seeing that the prison officer didn't respond, his words became quite unfriendly.The supervisor is in a dilemma. Once the other side disperses the reinforcements, they will turn around and clean up themselves. Why not take advantage of the reinforcements and attack from both sides to defeat the robbers in one fell swoop.But if it can't be defeated, what should I do on my side if the other party uses that terrifying magic technique again.

"My lord, those thieves on the opposite side haven't used that magic technique for a long time." A school captain named Zhang Huan took the opportunity to speak.

No more witchcraft!The supervisor's eyes suddenly lit up. Indeed, that frightening voice hadn't sounded for a long time. So, is it true that those thieves on the opposite side can't use black magic for the time being?

"Lieutenant Zhang, send my order to go out of the city to fight!" The supervisor was finally moved by the captain's words, and ordered to gather all the troops and go out of the city to fight.

As soon as the Sui army inside the city rushed out, the bandits outside the city were immediately thrown into disarray, and the two Sui troops surrounded the bandits at once.

Just when Zhang Huan thought that his side was about to win, the bandits turned around and started fighting with them, while the reinforcements they pinned their hopes on rushed towards the city gate that hadn't been closed yet.

Being fooled, Zhang Huan felt a chill in his heart. Before he could react, a flash of orange light flashed across Zhang Huan's neck, and a big head fell under the horse.

Lin Tong withdrew the knife in his hand, flicked the blood on the knife, swung the knife and said, "Brothers, follow me!"

It's over, it's over now, when the supervisor saw those reinforcements attacking Cangcheng on the city wall, he knew that everything was over, and he had fallen for it.

When Lin Tong and the others rushed into the city, the supervisor had already committed suicide, and there were still two or three hundred Sui soldiers in the city, who had no intention of resisting, so they dropped their weapons and surrendered.

The mounds as tall as a person are lined up in dozens of rows, each mound is more than ten meters apart, and there is a tree planted beside it. This is the granary of the Sui Dynasty.

The granary in the Sui and Tang Dynasties was not an above-ground granary, but an underground granary.It is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. Under a mound is a granary. Uncle Wang ordered to dig a granary. The yellow-orange grain has a hot and humid aroma.

Wang Bodang's hands were trembling with excitement. Just such a warehouse stored thousands of shi of grain. There are hundreds of such warehouses in this warehouse city. During the month, the strength of the village has been multiplied several times, even more than ten times.

"Brother Bodang, don't relax at this time. The prison officer will definitely send someone out to ask for help. It's nothing if we take down this place. The key is to keep it here." Lin Tong said in a low voice.

Wang Bodang calmed down, indeed, Tongguan and the capital are only a hundred miles away.Those reinforcements might arrive soon.

"Close the city gate quickly and prepare for battle." Wang Bodang ordered immediately.

"No, let's continue to cheat them." Lin Tong was addicted to cheating, and another idea popped up in his mind.

"How are you going to deceive them this time?" Qi Guoyuan's eyes on Lin Tong changed at this moment, he was less casual than before, and his attitude became inexplicably respectful.

"Let the brothers put on all the clothes of the Sui army, guard the city wall, and arrange a group of brothers outside the city to pretend to attack. When the reinforcements come, we will pretend to come out and attack together. When the time comes, the reinforcements will be caught off guard. "

The reinforcements arrived the next morning, and the reinforcements from Tongguan came first. The guards were reluctant to send troops out. Fengcang was also really important, so 1000 people were sent over.According to his thinking, Cangcheng was well-defended, with sufficient food and weapons, so it would not be too difficult to defend the city, and the robbers only came a few thousand people, so how could he have thought that the city would be destroyed so quickly.

"Here we come, the reinforcements are here." Qi Guoyuan waited on the city wall all night, and finally saw the reinforcements.

The robbers outside the city quickly fought with the reinforcements.The gate of the city slowly opened against the sunlight, and a group of people rushed out from the city.Naturally, the reinforcements thought they were their own people, but they didn't think that the people around them were actually ghosts.

The 1000 people were quickly slaughtered by Lin Tong and the others.After counting the losses, from the night before yesterday to today, more than 500 people were killed or injured on my side.Killed 2000 Sui soldiers, captured [-] horses, captured nearly [-] Sui soldiers, and some Sui soldiers ran out while they were in disorder, which was a big victory.

Thousands of people went out at once, and the noisy village in the past became deserted.Li Feirong, who was locked up, had nothing to do every day except refining Qi according to the Taoist scriptures, and the people who delivered the food were always peeping at him obsessively, so he had no interest in talking.

Lin Nan had been here a few times, and each time he hid outside the house and peeked at him. Seeing him looking over, the little guy turned around and ran away without answering.Li Feirong, who is extremely idle, enjoys waiting for Lin Nan's arrival every day.

On this day, Lin Nan sneaked over again to observe the enemy's situation.Lin Nan felt a little sad that his father scolded him because of this person that day. His father had never scolded him since he was a child.This child Lin Nan is usually very sensible and well-behaved, but this kind of sensible child is much more difficult to coax than other children when he becomes stubborn.

The little guy had a cold war with Lin Tong for a few days.The so-called cold war actually means not taking the initiative to speak, not bringing water to wash his father's feet, not serving food for his father, and not combing his father's hair.In fact, his combing skills are really not good, every day Lin Tong has to wait for the little guy to go out and comb it again by himself.

Lin Tong was busy making gunpowder, and he didn't have time to appease his son's little thoughts. When he went out to fight the granary, Lin Nan was still practicing martial arts in the back.Knowing that his father had gone out to fight, the child went back to the house in a daze, sat there for a while, and then went to see Li Feirong, what was the origin of this man, and caused him to quarrel with his father, without even saying goodbye.

The author has something to say: I have read the information on the granaries of the Sui Dynasty. They are very good granaries. The Sui Dynasty had granaries in various places. Their granaries had a big mouth and a small bottom. The bottom was burned with fire to harden the ground and spread ash A grain cellar with slag, wooden boards, hay, and straw mats is about ten meters deep and ten meters in diameter. Finally, straw mats are built on it, wooden boards, and soil are sealed, and then a tree is planted. If the leaves turn yellow, it proves that the grain below The temperature in the cellar is too high, if the leaves are normal, everything below is normal , that is, every family and every household of the common people pays some food, and how much is distributed according to the rich and the poor. The charity warehouse is used to help the people in disaster years. Unfortunately, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was really a prodigal son, and he wiped out all the wealth saved by his father. Some people say that by the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty had not run out of food.

There is also the issue of gunpowder. I have checked the information, and some people say that Sun Simiao discovered it, but no matter who it is, it appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Gunpowder was used in military affairs in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
