Chapter 158 Operation of Surprising Soldiers (Part [-])
Li Ye had already sneaked into the warehouse area, and the warehouse area was also guarded. Teams of patrolling soldiers were guarding back and forth in the warehouse, but compared with the strict security outside, the warehouse's security level was much lower.

After a group of patrolling soldiers passed by, Li Ye gently disembarked from the water and rushed to the side of a large warehouse.

The warehouse is very tall and large, and it is actually a wooden structure, which is already very old. There are finger-wide gaps between the wooden boards, through which you can see the situation inside the warehouse.

This is a forage warehouse, which is full of bales of hay, piled up like a mountain.

Li Ye was not in a hurry to make a move, so he ran to a warehouse next to it, which still contained fodder. It took Li Ye more than half an hour to find out the old background of the fifteen warehouses. Seven warehouses are fodder, and one warehouse stores other materials.

The doors of the warehouses are all locked, but each warehouse has a small back door, which is convenient for the warehouse managers to enter and exit. Of course, these warehouses were not built by the Tongluo people, but the granaries of the Shuofang Army.

Li Ye entered a warehouse through a dilapidated back door. The warehouse was pitch black, and the moonlight shone through the transom, vaguely bright.

With the help of the faint moonlight, Li Ye removed the leather bag on his back. The leather bag was divided into two layers, the inside and the outside, both of which were tightly sewn. This kind of sewing has a waterproof effect. Li Ye used a dagger to cut open the skin bag, and the outer layer was still A little water seeps in, the inner layer has no water seepage, and the innermost layer is wrapped with oil paper.

Open the oil-paper bag, and there are fire things inside. There are twelve small torches, two fire folding tubes, and a spare pair of fire sickles, flints and tinder.

The grain in the warehouse is packed in burlap bags, each weighing a stone, but it is not easy to ignite the grain directly, and there must be other combustible objects.

Li Ye searched around the warehouse, and finally found a lot of old wooden boards and sacks piled up in a corner. The wooden boards were left over from repairing the warehouse, and the sacks were also used to hold grain. There were hundreds of sacks.

In fact, Li Ye's goal is not to burn all the grain and grass. In fact, it is unnecessary. This battle is not a long confrontation, but a violent battle. It is likely to end tomorrow, so it does not matter how much food can be burned. It is important, the most important thing is to ignite the grain and grass depot, and ignite a monstrous fire, which can severely damage the morale of the enemy army.

Therefore, for Li Ye, burning the grain and grass warehouse was more important than burning the grain and grass itself. Of course, once the wooden grain and grass warehouse was burned, more than half of the grain stored in it would also be burned.

Li Ye ran to five more grain warehouses, collected old sacks and broken wooden boards, and stacked them in the corners. He was done, and it was almost four o'clock at this time.

Li Ye lit the old sacks piled up in the first warehouse with a torch, and then ran to the next warehouse. He lit five warehouses in a row, and some warehouses began to billow with smoke and flames raged.

'when!when!when! The sirens on the sentry tower rang loudly, the soldiers in the barracks woke up from their sleep one after another, and countless soldiers rushed to the warehouse.

At this time, Li Ye's task had not been completed. He still had seven forage storages that had not been burned down, but it was much easier to burn the forage storages. He directly threw a burning torch into the transom.

Li Ye threw four torches in one breath, and suddenly several soldiers rushed from the opposite side, pointed at Li Ye and shouted: "There!"

There were only five people on the other side. Li Ye threw away the torch in his hand and rushed up. Two throwing knives were shot head-on, hitting the foreheads of two soldiers, and the two soldiers fell down screaming.

Li Ye didn't carry a knife. He drew out the Qinglong Hengdao, dodged to avoid the stabbing spear, and swung the knife, "Crack!" A human head flew up.

His figure was as fast as a ghost, and before the other two soldiers could react, two cold lights flashed, and the two soldiers were stabbed in the neck and fell on their backs.

Li Ye picked up two unextinguished torches, threw them into two forage warehouses, turned around and rushed towards Caohe.

At this moment, the warehouse was in chaos, with thick smoke and flames raging in more than a dozen warehouses. Hundreds of soldiers were desperately trying to put out the fire, but to no avail.

"I see, there!"

A group of soldiers spotted Li Ye and chased after him.

Li Ye ran to the river and bumped into a rebel soldier who was fighting the fire. He stabbed the opponent with a dagger, slammed him into the river with his shoulder, and rolled over one by one. away, disappearing into the darkness.

"He jumped into the river, shoot an arrow!"

Dozens of soldiers chasing ran to the river, they did not see the details clearly in the dark, only one person jumped into the river to escape.

The soldiers shot arrows into the river one after another. After a while, a corpse full of arrows floated up. When everyone fished up the corpse, it was a Tongluo soldier, making everyone look at each other in dismay.

"Dive down and have a look!"

The leading centurion gave a loud order.

Two soldiers who knew how to swim jumped into the river. Not long after, a soldier floated up and shouted: "Centurion, there is a big hole under the iron fence, you can get out!"

The centurion said decisively: "Quickly go and report, the person who set the fire escaped by diving, and asked to search along the river!"

Hundreds of soldiers searched along the Cao River, continuously shooting arrows into the river, and stabbing into the river with spears, but in the end they found nothing.

Li Ye gently turned over from another wall. The wall was originally full of soldiers, but the warehouse caught fire, and all the soldiers rushed down to fight the fire. The wall was empty, without a single soldier.

Li Ye turned out of Cangcheng and ran for a dozen steps before his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Thirty miles away, Li Chu walked out of the big tent and looked at the fire in the distance. It was the fire of Mingsha County. Li Chu was overjoyed at once.

At this time, Dugu Lie walked over quickly, and asked pleasantly: "Your Highness, there is a fire in Mingsha County, but the grain and grass warehouse is on fire?"

Li Chu nodded, "It should be that the surprise soldiers I sent succeeded."

Dugu Lie hurriedly said: "If this is the case, the enemy army can only put all their eggs in one basket. I am afraid they will attack before dawn. Your Highness, we must be ready to face the battle!"

Li Chu turned around and asked, "What time is it now?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the fifth watch has passed!"

Li Chu immediately said: "Pass my order, beat the drums and prepare for battle!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the drums in the Tang army's garrison rang, and the [-] troops woke up from their sleep one after another, and began to pack up their things and get up. Not long after, the tens of thousands of troops were ready and lined up neatly.

Li Chu gave an order, and all the soldiers sat down where they were and began to eat breakfast. The Huotou soldiers brought buckets of hot soup and baskets of meat buns. Today they will fight the enemy, and the soldiers of the Tang army will have to eat and drink enough.

Two quarters of an hour later, the soldiers had finished their breakfast, refreshed, and began to line up to the north.

Li Ye came out of Mingsha County and came to the forest ten miles away to the northeast. His horse was hidden in this forest, and the soldier Liu Xing was guarding him.

As soon as he approached the forest, more than [-] soldiers rushed out from the forest and surrounded Li Ye.

Li Ye was taken aback. He felt that someone was coming from behind with a spear. He turned over and slashed at the person behind him with a knife in his hand.

"Dang!" The opponent's steel spear actually blocked Li Ye's sharp blow.

The opponent flashed his spear, and continued to stab at Li Ye's throat, extremely fast and murderous.

Li Ye has never encountered such a formidable opponent before. With a flash of his figure, he dodged the opponent's fatal shot. The knife in his hand pressed down on the opponent's spear shaft. With a flash of cold light, he followed the spear shaft towards the opponent's hands Pare off.

This move was too weird and too fast, the opponent was shocked, it was too late to dodge, and seeing that he was about to lose his hands, he had no choice but to give up the spear.

Li Ye sneered, the saber continued to slash at the opponent's waist, and the opponent had already realized it, turned over and jumped off the horse, avoiding Li Ye's sharp blow.

"What a powerful sword technique!" The other party praised him off-hand.

The opponent spoke Chinese, and the soldiers under the opponent did not attack him.

Li Ye felt something was wrong, so he took a few steps back, waved his knife, and asked sharply, "Who are you?"
