Chapter 156: Burning All the Food and Grass in Dongli
Chapter 156: Burning All the Food and Grass in Dongli
As the sky gradually darkened, the night sky looked like a navy blue curtain with a few twinkling stars.
Su Yueqing looked up at the moon hiding in the clouds and floating up and down. It would soon be over.
"City Lord Lu, we are about to set off." Su Yueqing then looked at Lu Jingchuan beside her and said.
Lu Jingchuan nodded, "General Su, be careful on your journey. I will guard Dingzhou City and wait for your triumphant return!"
"Okay." Su Yueqing nodded, determined to win.
"Senior Brother, Yuan Sheng, Mu Chi, let's go!" Su Yueqing spoke to the other three.
They have already discussed the plan and they just need to carry it out.
Jiang Biechen and the other two also nodded, "Okay."
Before leaving the city, Su Yueqing and his companions had quietly eliminated the Dongli spies guarding outside the city.
In the darkness of night, the gate of Dingzhou City was slowly opened.
Facing the moonlight, the 20,000-strong army was divided into four teams and set out in an orderly manner.
Su Yueqing had drawn a route map in advance, and the journey was very smooth.
Jiang Biechen was responsible for the frontal attack, while Jun Yuansheng and Mu Chi were responsible for attacking from both sides.
As for Su Yueqing, he was responsible for going around the rear and cutting off the enemy's lifeline.
Of course, her main purpose was Dongli’s food and commander.
When Su Yueqing and his party arrived at the Dongli camp, the other side had just finished dinner and was in a relaxed state.
According to the plan, the four men led their troops to their respective positions, ready to attack at any time.
After the four routes were ready, Su Yueqing sent an attack signal into the air.
After seeing the signal, Jiang Biechen immediately led his troops to attack.
As for the Dongli army, when they saw the signal in the air, before they had time to react, they heard shouts of killing coming from all directions.
Because they were unprepared, they were in a panic and had no power to resist at all.
General Han Sui, who was in the main tent, changed his expression when he heard the noise outside.
When he left the tent, he saw the miserable scene of the army being beaten, and his face turned even darker.
He didn't expect that the people of Bei Ming would dare to launch an attack.
Han Sui quickly calmed down, mounted his horse, raised his flag, and shouted, "The enemy only has a few thousand men. Kill them!"
With the general's order, the originally panicked Dongli army gradually regained their composure, picked up their weapons, and joined the battle according to their daily training.
After all, they had the advantage in numbers, and the situation had barely changed.
Su Yueqing glanced at Han Sui coldly and did not take any immediate action. Instead, she led a small team of elite soldiers to the camp where Dongli stored food and grass.
Afterwards, the guards guarding the food and fodder were eliminated without anyone noticing.
Immediately afterwards, Su Yueqing took out dozens of barrels of oil from the space and asked his men to pour the oil around the tent in an orderly manner.
After doing all this, Su Yueqing led his men to hold up torches, surrounded the tent, and threw the torches on the tent without hesitation.
When the oil meets the open flame, it burns instantly and a burst of flames rises.
Su Yueqing was afraid that the fire was not big enough, so she had someone pour more oil on it.
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the originally dark night.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger and it was impossible to put it out, Su Yueqing felt relieved to do the next thing.
Before leaving, Su Yueqing told his men to beat and shout about the fire in Dongli's grain and grass, the louder the better.
Naturally, the entire Dongli army must be informed of the major event of Dongli’s grain and grass burning.
So, such a funny scene occurred during the fight.
Bei Ming Soldier: Brother, did you know that your food supplies have been burned?
Dongli soldiers: What?
Bei Ming soldiers: What the hell is your head? Go to hell!
The shout spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and by then most of the Dongli soldiers knew that their food and grass were gone.
For a moment, people were panicked.
In fact, Su Yueqing didn't need to do anything. When the Dongli soldiers saw the fire, which came from the direction of the food and grass, they already had some guesses in their minds.
When I heard the rumor again, my heart sank and my movements slowed down.
Han Sui looked in the direction of the food and grass. The flames shooting up into the sky were so dazzling that they made him feel dizzy.
Before he could recover from the shock, a fierce figure suddenly flashed before his eyes and headed straight for his vital point.
"Who are you?" Han Sui sensed the danger and immediately dodged to the side, looking coldly at the person in front of him.
Su Yueqing held the mandarin duck sword in both hands, with a disdainful smile on her face, "The one who wants to kill you!"
After saying this, without giving Han Sui a chance to breathe, he launched another fierce attack.
Her second goal tonight was to take Han Sui's head and make the Dongli army collapse completely.
Han Sui narrowed his eyes, tightened his grip on the spear, and also launched an attack.
Both men's moves were fierce and contained murderous intent.
Han Sui secretly looked at Su Yueqing. He didn't expect that a woman could have such amazing skills.
After several confrontations, Su Yueqing roughly knew the level of this man.
His martial arts skills are okay, but still a little bit worse than her prince’s.
To deal with him, I can knock him out within ten moves.
Faced with Su Yueqing's increasingly aggressive moves, Han Sui was obviously unable to cope with it. His movements slowed down a bit and he took several of Su Yueqing's moves head-on.
After a few more moves, Han Sui realized that this woman's skills were better than his.
If he continued to fight, not only would he not gain any advantage, he might even lose his life.
Han Sui looked around and saw soldiers from Dongli and Beiming fighting together.
While Su Yueqing was still waiting to make a move, Han Sui picked up a Bei Ming soldier and threw him at Su Yueqing.
Su Yueqing was about to launch a move, but when she saw that the opponent was throwing one of her own soldiers, she withdrew her move and gave the soldier a cushion, allowing him to land safely without getting hurt.
The soldier looked at Su Yueqing with gratitude. He didn't expect that such an insignificant person like him could be protected by others.
When Su Yueqing looked up at Han Sui again and prepared to attack, she found that Han Sui had already ridden his horse in the opposite direction.
Su Yueqing looked at his fleeing figure and sneered, "Want to run?"
Then he took out a pistol from the space and shot the opponent's horse with a bang.
The horse was shot and suddenly kicked its front hooves into the air. After a wail, it fell down.
Because it happened so suddenly, Han Sui was caught off guard and fell off his horse.
Su Yueqing seized the opportunity, raised the whip and chased after him.
Then, he used his Qinggong skills and raised his sword to chop at Han Sui who was lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Han Sui rolled on the ground several times to avoid the attack.
Su Yueqing pressed forward step by step, and Han Sui had no choice but to fight back, but he was obviously exhausted and at a disadvantage.
Those soldiers who wanted to step forward to protect Han Sui were knocked down by the soldiers around Su Yueqing before they could get close to Su Yueqing. They had no chance at all.
Han Sui looked at the woman in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said unwillingly: "Who are you?"
"Princess Regent, Su Yueqing."
After saying that, Su Yueqing continued to attack, preparing to chop off Han Sui's head within three moves.
Han Sui's heart tightened when he heard Su Yueqing's name.
No wonder he had such a bad start and suffered repeated defeats. It turned out that this woman was Su Yueqing mentioned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
No wonder he didn't get any benefit at all.
Han Sui's originally scattered eyes suddenly focused again, staring at Su Yueqing. Even if he died, he would drag Su Yueqing to die with him.
A woman that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is somewhat afraid of cannot be kept.
Facing Han Sui's sudden and fierce attack, Su Yueqing didn't care. In her opinion, it was just a dying struggle.
Su Yueqing crossed her arms, and the two mandarin duck swords collided, emitting powerful power.
Su Yueqing gathered his inner strength, quickly changed his body shape, and rushed towards the opponent.
There was a flash of fear in Han Sui's eyes. He had no idea where Su Yueqing was and could only wave his spear in defense aimlessly.
However, it was impossible to guard against it. When he saw Su Yueqing's figure again, the two swords were pointing at his chest.
It's almost impossible to avoid it.
