Chapter 48: A Brief Calm
"Lord, there are too many people near the warehouse, I'm afraid I can't get through." Meng Hu, who was in charge of the detection, rushed back to the place where Ye Zhao and others were temporarily stationed, and said in a serious voice.
Since the Taiping Cult has already started, food, grass and weapons are naturally indispensable. Suiyang is the granary of the Liang Kingdom and even the entire Yuzhou. There are thirty warehouses of grain alone, so Taiping Cult naturally cannot let it go.
"How many people are there?" Ye Zhao asked.
"The sky is too dark and I can't see clearly. There are at least a thousand people!" Meng Hu sighed. With the county guards recruited from Wang Xing, Ye Zhao's side is now full of plans, and there are only about one hundred and fifty people, including Xin'er and other families. Even if the Taiping Cult is a mob, it is impossible for them to attack the warehouse, such as the heavy guard of the Taiping Cult.
"The warehouse must be taken down." Ye Zhao sat cross-legged on the ground, using branches to simply outline a map of Suiyang on the soil. Not only because the granary was the place he made an appointment with Dian Wei, but more importantly, the Suiyang warehouse, which is the place where the entire Liang State's supplies, grain and grass are stored. If the Taiping Cult gets a granary, at least in Liang State, the Taiping Cult will have a foundation. In addition, the Taiping Cult has a deep public foundation. If the Taiping Cult cannot take advantage of the Taiping Cult's foothold and fail to break the granary today, they may be trapped and killed in Suiyang County.
"But there are many enemies and we are few, how can we defeat the enemy?" Meng Hu said with a wry smile.
"You have also been on the battlefield. Don't say these naive words. The outcome is never about the amount." Ye Zhao raised his head, looked at Meng Hu, outlined a few strokes with the branches near the granary, and looked at Zhang Yue beside him and said, "A Yue, in one hour, how many of our hidden lines can be contacted now?"
In the critical moment of survival, Ye Zhao had to use the secret line to serve as a soldier.
"Twenty-eight people." Zhang Yue said in disguise.
"All of them are recruited." Ye Zhao said.
"Here!"
"In addition, I sent someone to look for Dian Wei near the warehouse. If I see him, I will bring him here." Ye Zhao instructed again that if Dian Wei could come, even if he brought not many people, it would increase his chance of winning.
"Here!" Zhang Yue nodded, and nodded the four generals took off their armor, wrapped themselves in yellow turbans on their heads, and left separately. The Taiping Cult's uprising was quite hasty and chaotic. As long as you don't wear armor and tie a yellow turban on your head, no one will make things difficult for you. It would be really easy to get out of a few people.
Zhang Yue did not leave, after all, she was a daughter, and it was a little too eye-catching in the crowd.
"It is still uncertain whether Dian Wei can come, but the warehouse must be taken down tonight." Ye Zhao circled the branches around the warehouse and said, "There are four gates in the warehouse, and there are only about 150 people who can fight here. Guan Hai, Fang Yue, Meng Hu, you three lead 50 people each. At the third update of the night shift, you are setting fires around you to disrupt the enemy's mind, and then shoot the thieves of the Taiping Sect outside with arrows. Remember, people should disperse, it is best to drive away some people to strengthen their momentum. They cannot let them see that we have a small number of people and make the illusion of heavy troops coming." Ye Zhao took care of Guan Hai and the other three and said, "The key to this battle is not to kill many enemies, but to only cheat the enemy. Do you know how to do it?"
"Don't worry, lord, isn't it just a sheep driving?" Meng Hu grinned. They had used this method on the grassland, set up a trap, surrounded three quarries and one, and drove the enemy into the trap. On the grassland, it has been tried and tested.
"It's different. We can't have too many casualties this time." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice: "So before the enemy is in trouble, it's best not to get close to them so that they can see the clues."
"A Yue!"
"exist."
"You are responsible for assassination with people. The Taiping Cult is loose. Before, Liang Fa attacked the county government. Although there were many people at hand, there were very few generals. We were able to break through calmly without assassinating leaders like Liang Fa. Just as the small leaders were assassinated one by one, the Taiping Cult in the city collapsed without fighting." Ye Zhao looked at Zhang Yue. Under the fire, the green-faced and fanged mask looked particularly creepy: "The Yellow Turban wipes his forehead and the generals who are close to the opponent will kill as much as possible."
"Here!" Zhang Yue nodded.
"Master..." Fang Yue looked at Ye Zhao, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. At this time, he didn't want to hurt morale.
"Say!" Ye Zhao looked at Fang Yue.
"We have not brought many arrow clusters. If we shoot volleys, we may only be able to support two rounds." Fang Yue said in a low voice. In order to prevent the Yellow Turban Uprising, Ye Zhao not only set up a large number of traps in the county government, but also prepared many crossbows. Unfortunately, they were too few and could not bring too many arrow clusters. In addition, the ones used on the road, there are not many arrow clusters for everyone now.
"It's all released as soon as possible." Ye Zhao said in a deep voice: "Don't think about saving. Those gangs of Taiping Sect are just mobs, with a large number of people, and they are more likely to get into chaos."
"Here." Fang Yue nodded. If he was reluctant to shoot arrows because of the shortage of arrow clusters, it would not be deterred, and it would not be too imposing. It would be easy to see the clues.
"Lord, can this plan be achieved?" Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao with some uncertainty. After all, this was too simple and rough.
"If it is an ordinary army, even if the military discipline is loose, it will not be possible, but these peacemakers are still OK." Ye Zhao said affirmatively, not knowing that he was cheering everyone up or cheering himself up. In this situation, he could not think of a better way. This battle must be fought, otherwise there would be no chance.
"It's still some time before the third update. Let's take a rest and keep your energy up." Ye Zhao leaned against the wall and said to Qiu Chi, who wanted to ask something.
Even if you have no confidence in your heart, you must not show any timidity at this time, otherwise, once your morale is bleak, you will not have to fight this battle.
"Here!" Qiu Chi heard this and asked more questions. After bowing, he began to lean against the wall like Ye Zhao, and closed his eyes to rest.
