Chapter 19: Fire Attack

Xiao Yan and Xiaoqi soldiers killed people all the way. When they saw the grain stack, they set fire. Suddenly, the sound of killing was shocking and the fire was everywhere. A group of golden people suddenly became like headless flies. Even if they saw Xiao Yan and others, they would not pay attention because they were wearing the same clothes. When they realized that they were already in a different place.

Ding Sheng and this thousand people have been lurking on the river for nearly ten days. Seeing that there is no movement in the city, he is also secretly anxious, but there is no signal and he can't act lightly, so he has to wait. Several times he almost met the defenders in Stone City, but although he has been waiting these days, Ding Sheng also I'm not idle, but I have a clear understanding of the situation in Stone City. I feel that the commander of Jiankang's garrison is either arrogant or an idiot. Stone City is the western gateway of Jiankang, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only a hundred defenders live there.

Ding Sheng calculated that if it was successfully attacked in half an hour, someone came over and said, "Head Ding, I still think there is movement in the city."

Ding Sheng heard, "Really, he immediately came out of the temporary shed and looked in the direction of Jiankang. Sure enough, he saw the firelight and thought it was already dawn, so he could only faintly see a little. Ding Sheng immediately asked people to gather and ordered 500 people to drive straight to the outlet of the Qinhuai River to mast to attack the West Water Gate and contain it. The rest of the city's troops have been formulated by me in the past few days, and the plan to attack the siege immediately launched. Everyone promised to act separately. Ding Sheng came to the stone city and lit the reeds that had been prepared for a long time, and then hid in the reeds of the stone town. Seeing that many people appeared faintly in the city , shouting something, Ding Sheng quietly ordered the archer to aim and shoot, but he could not shoot continuously to prevent him from being discovered by the enemy.

About a quarter of an hour later, the city suddenly became chaotic. Ding Sheng knew that the people who climbed from the back city to the city had gone to the city, so he shouted, "Brothers, go."

Rushing towards the main gate of Stone City, Stone City is a natural stone hill built on the edge of the Yangtze River. It is built according to the mountain situation. It is surrounded by water on both sides and backed by Jiankang. It is about ten feet high. It has a wide view in the city. It can not only see the situation in the city, but also observe the surroundings. There is only one gate built by the river for transportation. For maintenance.

Ding Sheng had been observing when he came, and felt that the strong attack would not work at all. At least 100 people in the city could resist thousands of people. Later, it was found that these defenders had never sent troops to stand guard in the city. Maybe they might think that no one would come. Even if someone came for a while, they would not be able to attack for a while, which just gave Ding Sheng to take advantage of the opportunity to mention Fourty or fifty people were arranged to climb up from the slightly lower place in the back city, and Ding Sheng led people to attract the attention of the enemy in front. Sure enough, the enemy in the city was fooled.

Ding Sheng led people to the door without resistance. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw that the gate had been opened. About 70 or 80 people in front of him, with their heads in their hands, and two rows slowly came out of the city. Ding Sheng came to the gate and saw that he entered the gate. On both sides of the cliff, there is only one about one foot wide and one step winding up. Ding Sheng arranged people to take good care of the prisoners and walked up along the steps. There are about 70 steps. At the end of the steps is a patio about ten feet, surrounded by a three-foot high wall made of rocks, and there is only one on the left. A small door with a height of three feet and a width can connect to the mountain. Ding Sheng passed the small gate with one to 40 steps. After the steps in the mountainous area, his left hand was the wall in the direction of the main gate, and going forward is the back city.

Ding Sheng went over and took a look. It was dangerous. Although the back city was a little shorter than the former city, it was more dangerous. According to the mountain situation, he built a watchtower in a prominent place. If there is a team of archers in this lookout, even if there are another 1,000 people, they can't attack it, even if it is the most After the attack, there was a hill less than 30 feet square and five or six feet high less than ten feet away from the city wall. There was also a city in the city, which was extremely threatening to attack the people who came to the city.

Ding Sheng arrived at the highest place in the Stone City. First, he looked at the terrain of the Stone City and arranged how to defend it, and then looked to the southwest of Jian Kangcheng. He only saw fire everywhere. Occasionally, there were some shouts of killings in the wind. Then he arranged to flect the ship that simified to attack West Watergate, but he didn't see it at the beginning, but he didn't see it. Jin Bing came out and saw this. Ding Sheng suddenly decided to leave 300 people to defend the Stone City, carefully assign work to them, and then took the rest of the ships to the West Water Gate. Ding Sheng decided to change the truant attack to a real fight. When Ding Sheng and the previous meeting asked about the situation, he knew that the enemies in the city seemed to know that the posed attack could not be defended. When they approached, they fired arrows. When they were far away, they ignored it. Ding Sheng thought for a moment. The people he brought were not the main force of the cottage. In addition, they could not attack the city without heavy equipment at all. He was thinking about seeing the stone. Ding Sheng nodded thoughtfully: "Fire, why didn't I think of it?"

So he waved and leaned the boat together. After ordering, he saw more than a dozen boats. A group of people quickly approached the shore to cut those dry reeds on the shore and put them all in the boat. All the boats were poured on the edge. After a while, ten boats came back. Three people behind each ship pushed the boat. He drove to the gate of Shuimen. The people on the village seemed to know their intention and kept shooting arrows at the boat. But at this time, there was no one on the boat. They were all behind and could not shoot at all. After a while, more than a dozen boats were squeezed at the door, and they pushed out the fire folds and threw them on the boat. There was wind. After a while, more than a dozen boats all caught fire. Dozens of people pushing the boat rushed into the river. When their heads were exposed, they were already dozens of feet away. The people on the wall could not find the target of archery at all, but could only shoot randomly.

The fire of more than a dozen fire boats burned the wooden gate of Jiankang City. After a while, there was also a fire on the door. A group of golden soldiers in the city shouted out and a group of people were busy fighting the fire. Ding Sheng saw that it was almost done. He ordered people to signal to attack. Six or 700 people took more than 40 boats and rushed to the gate. These are the golden soldiers in the city It was to put out the fire and defend. Obviously, they were in a hurry. Ding Sheng and others quickly invaded the city from the West Water Gate. After they came back, the defenders here had run away. Ding Sheng did not stop and waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, the Jin people have run away. Let's pick up the owner of the village. Let's go."

He rushed to the place where there was a loud shout of killing. Along the way, he also met many scattered Jin soldiers. After arresting a few, he didn't ask anything. Ding Sheng couldn't help but be anxious and what happened elsewhere.
