Chapter 119 Fighting against each other

As soon as I opened the small door, I saw the shadow of the knife and the sword. Someone shouted harshly, "Suzhou defeated army, kneel down quickly, and wait for you to die!"

Nie Kong recognized that it was his own person and hurriedly answered, "It's me, Nie Kong!"

"Marshal Nie, why did you come out of here? What's the situation inside?" Several guards put away their swords and came forward to worship.

Nie Kong did not answer directly, but only asked, "Is there anyone else coming in and out of here besides us?"

The guards looked at each other and shook their heads and said, "I didn't hear the movement here, and we didn't notice that there was still a door here!"

Nie Kong nodded, "Well, you continue to stay outside and beware of Suzhou soldiers from escaping again!"

"Ye!" A soldier's armor arched his hand and said, "Chief Nie, have you seen General Xu? They have arrived. They have just led some people into the camp to meet you!"

"It's good to arrive!" Nie Kong said, "The fire in the camp is too big. If it's the commander, don't attack again. Find your own people and horses and withdraw as soon as possible. The remaining Suzhou army can't support it for a long time. We just need to defend the periphery."

"Ouch, yes!" The soldier replied, "Kable, Commander Nie, where are you going?" Isn't the coach waiting for General Xu outside?"

Nie Kong said nothing. His eyes fell on the messy hooves and footprints in the snow. At this time, the snow was much weaker, so many traces were still clear. However, under these messy traces, it seemed that there were several shallow horseshoe prints that were half covered by the thin snow. Nie Kong said to the deputy general behind him, "Go down and have a look. By the way, call him Let me give you a horse!"

The deputy general followed Nie Kong's eyes and had already realized something. He immediately turned over and got off his horse, squatted on the ground and looked carefully. He gently swept away the thin snow. Sure enough, there were also marks of horseshoes. The deputy general swept a few more times in a row, and then got up and reported back to Nie Kong, "Commander, according to the judgment of the last general, there should be at least four or five horses, facing east. Go north!"

"Northeast!" Nie Kong thought for a moment and said, "If Ben Shuai remembers correctly, the northeast of Daying is also the foothills of the continuous mountain, which is an excellent natural barrier in Suzhou, but our governor should not expect to rely on this barrier to stop us, so his goal is definitely to go straight to the granary. The granary must be not far from the camp. Follow me. Come on!"

"Yes, there is nothing more suitable than using the Suzhou camp to manage the granary, and the Suzhou camp is exactly in the valley, which is not only hidden, but also has enough space to hoard a huge amount of grain." The deputy general patted his head and said, "It's all my fault and let the governor run away, but he only took four or five people to escape. Is it because there are still people in the warehouse on the other side of the granary?

"There is no doubt that since the granary is built near the battalion, there must be soldiers and horses of the battalion rotating to garrivate the warehouse!" Nie Kong said in a desperate voice, "There are still people who haven't followed. Let me keep the granary!"

"Here, more than a dozen people have come!" The team had not yet left the camp at the end. They stayed in the camp to wait and see the enemy's soldiers and answered. At the same time, they whistled and greeted their own people to come here quickly.

"Okay, then we will have 30 or 40 people. Let's go!" Nie Kong slammed the horse stock with his heel, "You must keep the granary, or we will be trapped in Suzhou!"

The group of people galloped for about two miles. They really saw faint lights in the wind and snow, and a large number of dark buildings. The scale and shape should be the granary they were looking for.

However, Nie Kong suddenly slowed down until he stopped. Somehow, he suddenly had an ominous feeling. The granary in front of him was too calm, as if he knew nothing about their arrival and nothing had happened.

"Near Shuai, what should I do?" The deputy general beside him smelled the dangerous breath keenly and asked Nie Kong worriedly.

"Approach as quietly as possible!" Nie Kong ordered in a low voice, "This is an open land, and it's not easy to hide at all. If the other party is on guard, we can't avoid it, so I'm not afraid that they will deal with us openly, because even if they temporarily repel us, General Xu's people and horses will come sooner or later after cleaning up the situation. It's the food, I'm worried that they will It won't have been tamped with!"

"With so many warehouses, even if the governor of Suzhou is tampling, he should not be so fast. Seeing that the granary is as quiet as usual, maybe the governor is going to be here at all, waiting for the news of the counterattack of the battalion?"

Nie Kong shook his head and frowned, "It's not necessarily to be done now. The main task of Suzhou Camp is to guard the granary. Won't they prepare for adaptation? What's more, how can a magistrate who left his own camp wait for the news of the big camp's counterattack?

After a pause, Nie Kong continued, "In a word, everyone must be very careful, follow my orders, and respond to changes!"

"In this case, please ask the commander-in-chief Rong Mo to approach first and investigate the situation of the granary. It is not easy to find a single horse. What's more, the governor lost it in the hands of the general. I hope the commander-in-chief will give the general a chance to atone for his sins!" The deputy general bowed his hand when he heard the words.

Nie Kong pondered for a moment, "Well, you go. If you find something abnormal, hurry up and warn, and you have to withdraw and retreat immediately. Do you understand?"

"Ouch, the last general will be careful. Don't worry, coach!" The deputy general said and pulled the reins and drove the horse forward.

Nie Kong and others slowly followed behind. Because they were afraid that there was too much movement, they disturbed the enemy to do it too early. Naturally, they did not dare to march too fast.

The door of the granary was close in front of him, and there seemed to be nothing unusual in the closed door. The deputy general turned over and got off the horse and was ready to lead the horse to the gate. Unexpectedly, as soon as his foot fell on the snow, he heard a slight special sound. It was not the sound of stepping on the snow, but the sound of pulling the bow and string he was familiar with. He Stop and identify the sound from a high place in the courtyard wall. Because the whole building is built according to the terrain, it looks like a dark shadow with staggered heights. It is not a neat warehouse, but only scattered four or five lights hanging on different corners, so no matter how carefully you look at it, you can't see the warehouse clearly. How many enemy soldiers were ambushed on the roof of the house, but at least he knew that there was indeed an ambush.

The vice general suddenly pulled the reins, held the saddle with the other hand, and turned over the horse again, but only stepped on one leg, and the whole person was lying on the side of the horse's body. With the weight and the traction of the reins, the horse couldn't help turning the direction. The vice general was about to run around, and at the same time, a whistle also sounded sharply. In the night sky.

However, without a few steps, the sharp arrow flew to one person and one horse like a sudden rain. In an instant, the horse with dozens of arrows fell on the snow with the lieutenant general.

Hearing the whistle, Nie Kong immediately ordered his subordinates to stop moving forward and be on guard against the enemy. Unfortunately, they were only less than 300 meters away from the granary at this time. On the open snow, they could even see the figure of the deputy general falling down. Nie Kong was anxious, but he could only stare at the front and wait to move.

As soon as the swords of the guard soldiers were pulled out, they suddenly beat the sky. Hundreds of torches lit up the granary, or more should say, the guard building in the gate of the granary. Under the light of the fire, Nie Kong finally saw clearly that the guard building was full of Suzhou soldiers who were fully armed. They aimed at them with bows and crossbows, and then the gate of the granary. It was also opened, and a team of armors ran out of the inside. The three rows were lined up in front of the gate, with long guns and crossbows, which were murderous.

It was roughly estimated that there were at least 300 guards in the granary. Nie Kong's heart was colder than his body. He knew that if he and his men fought hard, there would be no chance to win, or even it would be difficult to survive. Now the only thing he could do was to retreat first, and then wait for the soldiers to come back. In the hands of a seemingly cowardly Suzhou governor, an unspeakable bitterness surged in his chest and rushed straight to his throat, making Nie Kong miserable.

But Nie Kong couldn't get out of control of his emotions, because he saw Suzhou Prefecture Yin and another strong middle-aged man with full armor on the guard tower. The man, dressed as a general, should be the commander-in-chief of the Suzhou Battalion.

Before Nie Kong opened his mouth, the Suzhou governor Yin had already shouted loudly, "Listen, the rebel leader, don't you know how to attack fire? Well, now you might as well try your fire attack again and see how happy it is to burn such a huge Suzhou granary, hahaha!"

Nie Kong remained calm and walked forward slowly with a cold face. Several soldiers who followed him quickly stopped him, "Commander, be careful, don't move forward again!"

Nie Kong turned a deaf ear. He was still stubbornly close to the granary, and stopped until he could clearly see the position with the governor. "Lord Fu Yin, I have already made it clear to you that our guard is not a rebel army, and our guard is not a rebel leader. On the contrary, the one you are loyal to is the one who is loyal. The real leader wants to set fire to the granary? Well, let's see if you will be famous by thousands of people!"

"Nonsense! What I eat is the salary of the court, and what I guard is the granary of the court. What's wrong with asking for the court to beg for the broken jade? Although the king of Wei is a royal clan, he is only a vassal king after all. The court has long had rules. The vassal king must not leave the country without the permission of the court, let alone start a military. No matter which dynasty or generation, I'm afraid he can only talk about his crime of rebellion and chaos! Those who rebel and riot in the country, how can I be with you!"

Nie Kong smiled contemptuously, "Rebellious and chaotic country? Isn't the one squatting in the court now a rebellious and chaotic country? If he is not, how can the world be in chaos and the four earths are on the verge of rift? Lord Yin, I took care that you still have a trace of benevolence. How can I know that you are old and mediocre, ignoring the people's livelihood of the world for the sake of your court salary? Well, if you don't want to be with us, you will be together with the biggest thief in the world and burn down the Suzhou granary. , also create more hungry evils for the puppet court!"
