Chapter 1049 Cheap is not something you can take advantage of
Woo woo woo -
The humming of a thousand birds flapping their wings in unison rang out, and the seven thousand crossbowmen loosened their bowstrings almost simultaneously. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seven thousand rockets, shaped like flying meteors in the sky, soared into the air and roared overwhelmingly towards the Wei army camp.
Taking advantage of the tailwind, the rocket traveled a distance of two hundred paces, poured in like a rain of fire, and shot into the Wei camp.
In an instant, the wooden fence wall, the tent battle flag, and even the "Wei army" that Mu Ne didn't know how to dodge were all shot by rockets.
The rockets were stained with fire oil, and the tent barracks were all flammable, and once they were hit by fire, they were immediately set on fire, spreading rapidly from point to surface.
"Shoot again!" Sun Ce let out another cold snort.
The second wave of rockets took off into the air, and in the blink of an eye, they rained down on Wei Ying.
Countless camp tents were ignited, and the fire borrowed the wind, and under the wind to help the fire, the power of the fire attack doubled, and the spread speed of the fire also increased greatly, and the outer line of the Wei camp was burned into a sea of fire in an instant.
The rockets of the Japanese army were still firing wave after wave, and under the howling of the north wind, the fire spread uncontrollably towards the hinterland of the camp, and everywhere it passed, it turned into a sea of fire.
In just a few moments, the entire Wei camp has turned into a burning hell.
Seeing the Wei camp plunged into a raging sea of fire, the 70,000 Japanese soldiers were all overjoyed and excited, so excited that they shouted loudly, and the roar broke the silence of the night.
Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Oda Nobunaga, Sun Yi and other generals of the Japanese army were also excited.
Sun Ce's heroic face burned with a joy that he hadn't seen for many years, as if the gnashing hatred of being driven down to the sea by the potters back then, and the anger that had been stored in his heart for many years was finally vented tonight
The Wei camp was burned into a sea of fire, tens of thousands of Wei troops must be burned to death in it, and the rest of the Wei army naturally collapsed, like ants that collapsed their nests, and fled from the camp in a hurry.
At that time, Sun Ce could wave the army, rush up, and kill all the remaining Wei troops, killing not one left, and completely annihilating the Wei army.
If you can be lucky enough to kill the potter, it is naturally the best, even if you can't kill the potter, at least you will destroy his 70,000 soldiers and horses.
That's 70,000 elites!
You must know that although Wei has an army of nearly 500,000 troops, it is more than the total number of troops of the Han State and the Wa State combined, and it seems that it has an advantage in terms of military strength.
But the territory of Wei is also large, in addition to the garrison of the frontier, the newly recovered Jiaozhou, the west of Liangzhou, and the strategic places of the states of the world, must be garrisoned by soldiers and horses, these soldiers and horses alone, has reached 100,000 people.
As for the border area of Hebei, because the Han army and the Xianbei army were mainly cavalry, the pottery merchants had to use more infantry troops to resist, so they had to use 300,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in northern Xinjiang.
In the Qingxu area, the pottery merchants could use it to fight Sun Ce, that is, the 30,000 or 40,000 Qingxu navy commanded by Wu Zixu, and the 70,000 infantry elite cavalry under his personal command.
And this night attack and fire attack, if even these 70,000 elites are destroyed, Wu Zixu's more than 30,000 navy alone is not Sun Ce's opponent at all, and it will be destroyed sooner or later.
At that time, in the entire land south of the Yellow River, the Great Wei almost had no troops to resist Sun Ce's troops, and Sun Ce was about to be invincible and sweep the entire Central Plains.
At that time, the fall of Great Wei will be inevitable.
It was with such excitement that Sun Ce sketched a grand blueprint in his heart, dreaming of sweeping the Central Plains, and the more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and he couldn't help laughing.
Guan Yu, who was beside him, did not hide his pride and smugness on his face, glanced at Sun Ce, who was laughing, and said in a conceited tone: "What's the matter, Ben Jiang has already said that it is easy to break the pottery thief, Your Majesty, you should believe it now." ”
Guan Yu was reminding Sun Ce that while he was proud, don't forget that this strategy of attacking Wei Ying by fire was offered by him Guan Yunchang.
On the way to the camp of Sun Ce on the way to the station, Guan Yu lost the heavenly thunder cannon and carefully observed the terrain here.
Guan Yu soon discovered that although the overall terrain of Beihai Country was relatively flat, in this area, there were undulating mountains on the east and west wings, which happened to be between a mountain pass that was neither wide nor narrow.
At the beginning, Sun Ce chose to camp here, but also to make the best use of the terrain to limit the mobility of the potter's superior cavalry.
Sun Ce didn't notice that in this season, the north wind in the Beihai country was continuous, and he happened to occupy the upwind port, while the Wei army was forced to camp at the downwind port, and under the effect of the mountain pass topography, when the wind blew through this area, the wind speed doubled.
Sun Ce was in it and didn't realize it, Guan Yu, an outsider, coupled with his keen observation as a general, immediately discovered this hidden advantage.
Therefore, Guan Yu proposed to Sun Ce, chose the night of the north wind, and gathered an army of 70,000 to attack the Wei camp at night with rockets.
Due to the strong tailwind, before this force of nature, the Wei army will have no means of resistance, and can only watch the camp being burned into a sea of fire, but helpless.
With the help of the wind, the fire attack was frontally crushed, this was Guan Yu's plan to break the enemy for Sun Ce.
"Yun Chang is worthy of being the first general of the Han Kingdom, and today's clever plan can be regarded as letting me see the strength of the beautiful bearded man, and it is indeed worthy of the name." Sun Ce also understands human accidents, and since he is happy, he naturally does not forget to praise Guan Yu a few words.
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful hair and laughed.
Sun Ce and Guan Yu, as well as a group of Japanese soldiers, in a proud atmosphere, watched the Wei camp turn into a sea of fire, waiting to slaughter the Wei soldiers who escaped.
But they waited left and right, but they couldn't wait for a Wei pawn to escape from the sea of fire, and they couldn't see the shadow of Wei pawn rolling in the sea of fire, let alone understand the expected scream.
It was as if the 70,000 Wei troops were all burned to death in their sleep, and they didn't even make a single struggle.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong with the situation in Wei Ying." Tai Shi Ci stepped forward immediately, frowning and reminding.
Sun Ce's smile had retracted, his expression became more and more solemn, the suspicious color in his eyes became more and more intense, and his eyes glanced at Guan Yu from time to time.
Guan Yu didn't smile anymore, his beautiful hair was not so smooth, Danfeng's eyes were also wide open, and he looked carefully at the sea of fire, wanting to see the tragic scene he wanted to see.
It's a pity that apart from the fierce flames that soared into the sky, he couldn't see a shadow of the Wei army, as if at the moment of the fire, the Wei army had all evaporated.
While they were not suspicious, Hua Rong rode his horse and galloped over, shouting: "Your Majesty, we have been tricked, my scouts have just reconnoitred that the entire Wei army is lined up in the south of the camp, and we are burning an empty camp." ”
Empty camp!
Including Sun Ce, everyone who heard Hua Rong's voice instantly felt like they had been struck by lightning, buzzing, and blank.
"Empty camp, what are you talking about...... What is the meaning? Sun Ce asked in a hoarse voice, obviously not coming back to his senses and unable to accept the facts.
Hua Rong said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the empty camp means that the Wei army may know that we are going to attack with fire, so they withdrew all the horses from the camp in advance, and we spent half a day of effort, but in fact, we burned an empty enemy camp." ”
Sun Ce's body shook violently, he was stunned, and with an unbelievable gaze, he turned to look at Guan Yu with difficulty.
At this moment, Guan Yu's arrogant and complacent red face was distorted and deformed, replaced by deep amazement, and his eyes were also staring at Dou Da, almost bursting out.
He thought that the fire attack plan he had sacrificed, with the help of the right time and place, was invulnerable, and he would definitely be able to break the Wei army in one fell swoop, and even kill the pottery merchants.
Who would have thought that his self-righteous plan to win would be seen through in advance by the potter, and it would be a waste after being busy for a long time!
In an instant, Guan Yu felt that he was hot, as if he had been slapped and humiliated by a potter.
"How is it possible, how is this possible, Tao Thief Yan can see through the general's strategy, it is absolutely impossible!?" Annoyed and angry, Guan Yu roared and shouted.
Sun Ce also gritted his teeth, looking at the raging fire, angry and suspicious, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Guan Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted: "Our plan is so thorough, it is impossible for the pottery thief to speculate, there must be someone secretly communicating with the pottery thief and leaking the news, there are traitors among us!" ”
In the roar, Guan Yu suddenly looked back, and his eyes glared at Sun Ce's henchmen such as Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Hu Sanniang, and even Oda Nobunaga.
Obviously, he suspected that there were traitors among these generals.
The crowd was glared at him like this, and their bodies were slightly shocked, and they suddenly felt uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to show it in the slightest, so they could only reluctantly try their best to create a righteous and awe-inspiring and unashamed calm appearance.
Sun Ce was also shocked, turned around, and looked at the generals, his eyes surging with suspicion, as if he was looking for the traitor.
For a while, everyone looked at Sun Ce like a man.
After looking at it for a long time, of course, he couldn't tell who was a traitor just by looking at it, Sun Ce could only take a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Order, the whole army quickly withdraws back to the camp." ”
The generals were secretly relieved.
Tai Shici said: "Your Majesty, are we going to return empty-handed, since we know the location of the Wei army, maybe we can still fight." ”
Sun Ce snorted coldly, "Since the pottery thief has been prepared for a long time, if I force another battle and fall into his arms, I will not obey his wishes, pass the order, and the whole army will retreat immediately." ”
After that, Sun Ce turned his horse and left first.
The 70,000 menacing and enthusiastic Japanese army could only leave in defeat and retreat towards the north.
Guan Yu stayed on the horse for a long time, looking at the burning empty camp, gritting his teeth and hating himself, but in the end, he could only hold back a bad breath and turn the horse away.
South of the Fire Camp.
The 70,000 soldiers of the Wei army were all looking at the camp that was burned into a sea of fire at this moment, and all of them had a look of palpitation on their faces.
In the end, the countless pairs of astonished eyes all turned to their heavenly sons, and the surprise turned into deep amazement.
Just before, they were still wondering why the Son of Heaven did not guard the camp and withdrew.
It was only then that they suddenly realized that the Son of Heaven was like a god, and had already calculated that the Japanese army would take advantage of this favorable wind to launch a fire attack on their camp.
The wind borrows the fire, and once it is activated, they will have no ability to resist it, and they will all die in the fire.
The Son of Heaven's order to abandon the camp was equivalent to saving the lives of 70,000 of them!
How could they not be grateful to the Son of Heaven for having escaped death, and how could they not be amazed by this god-like ability to predict!
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, I understand now, it turns out that Sun Ce, the little Wang Ba, is actually going to attack with fire! How did you figure it out? Wei Chigong stammered in surprise.
The potter smiled, his eyes looked at Shi Qian, "This is also thanks to Shi Qian, that day he spied on the Japanese army to launch a so-called winning blow to my camp, although he only heard the word 'tuyere', but it was enough to remind me, let me calculate that Sun Ce was going to attack, of course, this is also thanks to Liu Banxian's observation of the sky, calculated that Sun Ce will act tonight." ”
Receiving the praise of the potter, Shi Qian and Liu Ji both smiled.
The generals who suddenly realized that they were all deeply impressed and amazed by the amazing judgment of the potter.
In amazement, Yang Zaixing sighed again: "Your Majesty is like a god, although we have avoided the catastrophe, but whether Sun Ce burned our camp, speaking of which, is it that Sun Ce took advantage." ”
"Hmph, my advantage, is it so easy to take advantage of, he has to pay the price......"
A mysterious and cold smile appeared on the face of the pottery merchant, and suddenly his eyes froze, and he shouted: "Come on, quickly pass Luo Guanzhong to me." ”
