Chapter 845: The Plan of Burning
Shan Xiongxin took advantage of the inconvenience of news transmission in winter, first cut off Zhu Can's grasp of the city and county, and slowly consumed the other party with the strategy of besieging the city.
The specific method is related to the cooperation with the Xiao family, and the Wagang soldiers can be stationed in several cities and counties, and the Xiao family will provide food and grass supplies.
In this way, Zhu Can was surrounded, so that they could only consume the hoarded materials and not get out, and they could start the siege when they were well prepared.
In order to be able to effectively strike at the enemy, the people of Wagang prepared a large number of catapults this time.
Zhu Can was awakened in the middle of the night, and the wine did not dissipate but he was very sober, and the strong castle of the cottage was full of shouts of killing.
Moreover, the fire is atmospheric, and the situation of being able to catch fire in this winter has reached the most urgent level.
Shan Xiongxin began the siege after they were ready, using a catapult to pour fireballs made of bamboo strips with fire oil and deliver them in the air.
Their plan was very smooth, and Zhu Can's people who had been preparing for so long didn't even notice anything abnormal in the city and county.
This is to give the people of Wagang plenty of time to prepare.
The fireballs of catapults are constantly being thrown into the cottage, and there is fire oil all the way.
The buildings inside the cottage were all burned to the ground.
This was the case for the siege, and in the winter they wanted to extinguish the fire, and the existing tanks were not full of water.
After Zhu Can got up, he saw that the cottage was in a mess, and hurriedly found the guards around him to explain the situation, and his first thought was to quickly let someone take him away.
It's just that they were stopped by the guards, and the people of Wagang have already surrounded them, and there can only be one end when they go out, and escaping is tantamount to throwing themselves into a net, so it is better to hold on in the city.
Zhu Can was frightened, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately began to organize personnel to start extinguishing the fire, but it was too late for him to make a save.
Zhu Can was shocked when he saw the scene in the cottage, and he used so much oil to use it, he really thought that the people in Wagangzhai were crazy.
Fire oil is not cheap at all, and not everyone can afford it.
"What's going on out there?" Zhu Can asked.
He didn't hold out any hope, the battle for the city wall would definitely be fierce, how long could he hold out.
"Lord Wang, the people of Wagang have been throwing fireballs, and there is no such person to attack the city." The guard replied.
Zhu Can's spirit came back more than half of the time at once, and he didn't send people to attack the city, isn't his cottage safe at present.
"Hurry up and send someone to put out the fire first."
The guard could only go to pass the word, he knew the situation outside, and he couldn't do anything at all.
The fire in the cottage is very fierce, and the reason for doing it today is that some people who know some wind have estimated that there may be strong winds in the next few days.
Therefore, Shan Xiongxin decided to start an attack, as long as the cottage was burned down, the battle would naturally be won.
In order to be safe, they have known in advance where the materials are hoarded in the cottage, and there is a high probability that the place where the food is stored will be focused on by fireballs.
Attacking the forces of the King of Nanyang, Li Mi really gave up a lot of money to buy fire oil, there may not be many other places, but there are many pioneers in Youzhou.
It's all exchanged for ore, and I don't feel distressed to use it, in order to be safe, Shan Xiongxin is even more squandering, and the workshop at this time is really like the style of a local tyrant.
Shan Xiongxin watched from the periphery with his soldiers and horses, and the raging fire didn't know how long it would burn, so they weren't enough.
So much so that Xiao Mo and others, who were watching the battle from a distance, couldn't stand it, who formulated this kind of loser's play.
Li Jing sneezed, and suddenly felt a little chilled, and at night he was still reading books and studying various military book deductions.
I just realized that it was getting late and I should rest. Thirty-nine
What he didn't know was that many people were destined to be unable to sleep tonight.
Zhu Can has been coughing because of the smoke, and it is the middle of the night in the winter, but fortunately, the wine he drank has not been digested.
It didn't make him feel too cold, but he didn't know that he was nervous, and the fright and being blown by the cold wind made him a little upset, and suddenly a flower in front of him felt like the world was spinning.
"Lord Wang, be careful." The guards were on the side to support Zhu Can, who almost fell.
"It's fine."
"Lord Wang, it's not good, the warehouse where the grain is stored has burned down, and the rescued grain can last for three days at most."
Bang, Zhu Can really fainted.
Seeing this, the guards immediately went over to help, and also probed and found that Zhu Can's forehead was hot.
"It's not good, the prince may be infected with the wind cold, call Lang Zhong quickly."
"Lang Zhong from the cottage went to the city and county a few days ago and hasn't come back yet." The soldier who came in panicked.
The reason for the panic is not that they are afraid of war, but that their backbone has fallen, which makes him overwhelmed, and because they have no confidence because the food is gone.
The situation inside the cottage is getting worse and worse, and some people are trying to open the gates and escape, but they know that if they do, they will lose their lives.
For now, we can only put out the fire first.
The sky was beginning to dawn, and the hateful Wagang soldiers were still throwing fireballs.
"General Shan, all the fireballs have been thrown into the cottage, and it is observed that the buildings inside have burned down."
"Well, very good, if the city is broken, you should be the first to take credit."
The soldiers in charge of the trebuchets were glad that after the battle they were rewarded with a lot of money, silver and gold.
Don't look at the role of catapults played a big role, in fact, in the process of throwing fireballs, they also caused a lot of trouble for themselves.
The fire oil was splashed everywhere in the air, and more than a dozen people were hit, but fortunately, there was no fear for their lives.
"General Shan, today's battle is really exciting, and the foundation of this Nanyang King will be burned with fire oil, I believe it won't be long before you can win the victory."
Xiao Mo came over to say goodbye, Zhu Can's cottage situation has ended, I believe that it will not last for a few days, as long as no one comes to save during this time, Zhu Can's power will disappear.
He felt a pity for Zhu Can's cottage, among the many anti-kings, they did not build a city, and after they had a city and county, they defended it.
is really engaged in development, it can be said that Xiao Mo and Zhang Zhongjian are the most profitable anti-kings.
"Xiao will leave first, and after Desheng, he will prepare a banquet, and when the time comes, the generals will be invited, don't refuse."
"Okay, then take your good word."
Shan Xiongxin is not false, and it is difficult for him to refuse when someone prepares a banquet.
People are giving enough face, and now that the two are in a cooperative relationship, it is necessary to be appropriately close.
Xiao Mo left, his smile disappeared completely, and seeing Wagang's methods made him feel a sense of crisis.
With so much oil, if you are using this method to attack other forces, you are not afraid of the city wall at all, and it is not like seeing one broken one.
Being able to use this extravagant way, he admired Li Mi very much in his heart, and he was sincerely willing to do it.
Li Mi invisibly took the blame, if he knew it, he would definitely clarify that this strategy was completely the plan of the guidance group from Youzhou.
