Chapter 926 (1/2)
Liu Pan finally agreed with Huang Zhong and divided the 11000 soldiers into two parts. Huang Zhong was the vanguard and led 5000 soldiers. Liu Pan led the remaining 6000 people as the rear army. The two armies pursued Zhou Yu's army one after the other, hoping to capture Zhou Yu as soon as possible.
Over the past few days, Zhou Yujun's cooking pits have become less and less. From 7000 to 5000, only half of them are left. Liu Pan's mood to defeat the enemy has become more and more urgent, and he would like to have a decisive battle with Zhou Yujun immediately.
”General, Zhou Yujun retreated without fighting. Now Quanling has become an empty city.” Report of the soldiers' meeting.
”Ha ha ha ha ha, Zhou Yu is really timid. Quanling is the seat of Lingling Prefecture. It's funny that our army will get a strong city without fighting.” Liu Pan couldn't help laughing.
Quanling is the governor of Lingling county. Once conquered, if you speed up the March, you can kill Guiyang County in three days. Liu Pan didn't fight the enemy all the way. It's just like taking over the empty city left by Zhou Yu all the way?
”Ha ha ha, I'll have a rest in this city tonight, and tomorrow we'll march into Guiyang County. Maybe commander Gao is still fighting Jiangdong soldiers in Changsha. Our army has even conquered Lingling and Guiyang counties, and has directly attacked Changsha County from behind and joined up with Commander Gao in Linxiang city. Ha ha ha!”
Liu Ye, as a great general of the army, is a big favor.
After a while, some soldiers reported back: ”general, General Huang asked to be stationed outside the city. In case of an attack by the Jiangdong army, they would be able to form a corner with the city.”
Liu Pan frowned: ”well, brother Hansheng is really... Ah, he doesn't sleep in the city, but suffers outside the city. Tut tut.”
After saying this for a while, Liu Pan shook his head and did not care about Huang Zhong. Instead, he was ready to go to bed.
Before long, night came down and covered the whole land. Naturally, Quanling city has been covered in the night, and most people, including Liu Pan, have entered their sleep.
At this time, several houses in the city suddenly opened their doors. More than ten Ding Zhuang men came out and looked at each other.
Night markets first appeared in the Song Dynasty. Thousands of years before this, curfew bans were carried out to prevent people from rioting at night. How could these people openly violate the curfew and appear on the streets?
”Have you had enough sleep during the day?”
”Don't worry. I didn't dare to come out with the door locked during the day. I'm in good spirits now.”
”That's good. Don't mess up what the governor has told us. Whether we can defeat Liu Panjun depends on this time!”
The speaker's eyes twinkled in the night, like a gem. When he said this, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth and clenching his fist.
It turned out that these people were all ambushed by Zhou Yu in advance. They took off their armor and put on civilian costumes and stayed in the city for the night.
”Although most of the enemy troops are asleep, they still arrange some soldiers to watch the night. When the time comes, they should be careful and smart. Do you know?” The leader told me.
Seeing more than a dozen people nodded, he whispered: ”OK, separate action, start!”
Only a dozen people suddenly two people in a group scattered, separate action, all carrying leather bags in kerosene, toward the established location quickly.
”Hey, Liu Pan, a fool, of course, didn't expect that the governor would store hay in the houses instead of granaries.” With a smile, the man untied the leather bag with kerosene on his waist and directly sprinkled it on the hay. Then he took out the flint and fired the torch and threw it in.
Boom!
When the dry wood touches the fire, it is naturally ignited, and with the help of kerosene, the fire quickly burns up, and the red flame rises suddenly, just like the devil with open teeth and claws.
At the same time, more than ten places in the city burned at the same time. In recent years, the buildings in the city are basically made of wood, all of which are fuel. With the continuous spread of fire, the powerful fire swept the whole spring mausoleum. From the outside of the city, you can see that the whole spring mausoleum is completely engulfed by the flame and becomes a city of fire!
Ten miles east of the city, a military horse is stationed outside the city, the number of about 10000 people up and down, carrying a Zhou flag.
