Chapter 3558 I don’t want to make your mother sad
At this moment, the attack horn suddenly sounded!
Countless Yue soldiers rushed out from the large shadow and charged towards them!
It’s over!
At this moment, this thought popped up in everyone's mind, and they finally understood why that person just said that they "fell into a trap". No wonder this granary was so easy to capture, and there were not even many guards. This was because this was basically a trap to lure them out, and the large group of Yue State troops had already ambushed outside, waiting for them to show up, so that they could immediately surround them and catch them all in one fell swoop.
They really underestimated the enemy.
But it was too late to regret at this time. They saw that the Yue people were about to rush in front of them. Although it was dark and they could not see how many people there were, they could estimate at a glance that their number was at least several times theirs. If they tried to resist, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
The young man was surrounded by a group of soldiers and suddenly shouted, "Close the door quickly!"
Everyone was already feeling breathless from the overwhelming momentum from the opposite side. When they heard his order, they hurried to close the gate. However, at this time, the gate, which had already been on fire, was burned to the point where only a frame was left. The soldiers on both sides wanted to push the gate together, but just when they pushed it halfway, the gate made a loud roar and collapsed to the ground.
Suddenly sparks flew everywhere, startling their horses and making them neigh.
However, the collapsed gate formed a wall of fire, separating them from the attacking Vietnamese soldiers.
At this time, a strange horn sounded again in the night. The Yue soldiers seemed to have heard some orders and slowed down their pace instead of rushing forward.
The young man hurriedly said, "Quick, push down all those grain stacks around to block them!"
At this moment, his soldiers also understood that they could not confront the enemy head-on at this time. They could only find a way to stop the Yue soldiers outside. So, a group of people hurriedly ran behind the burning grain stacks, used their swords to press against the red-hot stones inside, and pushed hard.
With a loud crash, the stones and the layer of burning grain wrapped around them fell down and blocked the door of the granary again.
This time, a solid wall of fire blocked their way.
The Yue soldiers had already slowed down their pace, but were now forcibly stopped outside the wall of fire. Even so, the scorching heat of the flames almost set their hair on fire, and they hurriedly retreated.
The young man also called out to the people behind him: "Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!"
They retreated into the granary.
Finally, I was able to avoid the people outside for a while.
But the situation was not optimistic. Although the Yue soldiers outside could not rush in, the room was full of grain stacks that they had just set on fire. Now they had turned into a sea of fire. They were trapped inside and could not get out. They were in imminent danger.
In the firelight, only the flag with the big Chinese character "Han" written on it was still fluttering in the wind.
It seemed as if it was about to be engulfed by the fire.
Although the Yue soldiers outside were blocked by the wall of fire, they did not give up. Instead, after receiving an order from behind, they immediately galloped along the walls on both sides of the granary. Once they found a gap, they would immediately leave troops to guard it, completely trapping the team in the granary.
At this time, the people inside had already noticed something was wrong.
Only then did they come to their senses. These Yue soldiers should have been guarding outside for a long time, but they did not rush out immediately when they appeared, just to let them set fire to the granary. They waited until they had set the fire before appearing, and did not rush over immediately, but gave them time to block the gate, just to let them trap themselves in the granary!
Although there was a sea of fire all around and the scorching temperature was almost burning them to a crisp, the young man broke out in a cold sweat.
They couldn't get out, so they could only stand behind the gate and stare at the Yue soldiers outside who surrounded them.
At this moment, the soldiers who were lined up in neat rows suddenly separated from the middle and retreated to both sides, leaving a path in the middle. A horseman was seen slowly walking out of the night.
It was none other than Li Wushang, the King of Yue!
He was dressed in black and sat on a pitch-black horse. He seemed to have emerged from the darkness. However, his bright, wolf-like eyes reflected the towering flames, shining brightly in the darkness.
But it also made people break out in a cold sweat.
When the soldiers inside saw him appear, they were all stunned.
Not only were they plotted against, but they were also plotted against by Li Wushang, the new king of Yue State and the former commander-in-chief of the Northern Pacification Division of Yan State!
He had long anticipated that they would attack the granary at night, so he set up this trap to lure them into it!
Chen Wenxiao followed Li Wushang and walked up slowly. Looking at the Yan soldiers who were like frightened birds in the fire scene, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
Success!
That day, when he and Li Wushang were discussing the next plan, Li Wushang saw through the Yan people's calculations. They must have noticed the food shortage problem in Yue State. When Li Wushang transported food here with great fanfare, it must have attracted their attention. If they wanted to win this battle easily, the most clever way was to make plans with the food.
If food and supplies are lost, the country will be defeated without fighting.
Just as Li Wushang expected, they came under the cover of night and burned the food supplies.
Therefore, they had already made preparations in advance. They first transported the food and grass away, and then sent troops to attack the north of Yongzhou City suddenly tonight. That was just a cover, so that all the soldiers in the Yan State camp were transferred to the north of the city to provide support and could not arrive here in time for rescue. Then Li Wushang personally led his troops here.
Sure enough, they were blocked.
What surprised them even more was that they caught a big fish.
The eye-catching Chinese character "Han" on the fluttering flag in the firelight made their soldiers very excited.
Prince of Han, Zhu Chengjun, was the youngest son of the Emperor of Yan's most beloved concubine.
As long as we trap him, there is no need to fight this battle.
Thinking of this, Chen Wenxiao smiled triumphantly, then shouted to the front: "You guys, why don't you surrender quickly? Do you want to wait until you are roasted and then be carried out by us?"
No one inside spoke.
However, the crackling sound of the burning flames continued, just like the panic-stricken mood of the soldiers inside.
Chen Wenxiao continued, "Your Highness, Prince of Han, if you don't come out now, we won't be able to return you to your father even if we want to. Do you want to die for your country?"
