Chapter 625: Southbound (22)
As early as when Xie Yongzhi designed an ambush and was preparing to use Han Yu as a bait to kill Xu Le near the lair, he had considered a fire attack plan. The way of employing troops is to adapt to local conditions and adapt to changes, and the strategies used are different depending on the terrain. Parrot Island though several
It changed hands and was overrun by thieves, but the trees remained lush and undamaged. The bandits occupy Parrot Island and use it as a nest or hiding place, whether it is to hide from the officers and soldiers or to make it easier for them to hide, and no one destroys the trees. In addition to the use of wood that must be used to build houses, thieves
He rarely took the initiative to cut down trees, and even firewood and grass were obtained from other places as much as possible, so as not to cut down the trees and lose his own cover. Of course, the so-called fire attack is not simply a matter of burning, otherwise the officers and men would have come up and set fire a long time ago, and they would not have waited until now. Cockatoo Island is located on the water, and the humid environment is completely different from the dry climate of the Northland, so it is not so easy to set fires. But it's always wood
Wood is easy to obtain, and hay and firewood are always easy to purchase. It is not so easy to find these firewoods and fire-starting materials mixed in the woods, and it is not difficult to set fire with these things as fires. Xie Yongzhi never thought of burning Xu Le to death simply by fire attack. His first concern was that Parrot Island was too large and the terrain was complicated, which made it easy for bandits to hide, and it was difficult for a person to hide in it. If Xu Le, a top fighter, hides in the forest
Dealing with himself, I don't know how much effort it will take and how many people will die to kill it. It was because he prepared fire-starters in the forest, not to kill people but to drive people away. The fireworks are all in unison, no matter how good a hero is, he can't resist it, as long as he is driven out of the woods by the fireworks, he will inevitably have the result of slashing and dismembering the body. Xie Yi is ready, as long as Shen Guang is driven out, even if he exchanges these dozens of lives for his life
life, but also let its bones be buried here. With a few sharp bamboo whistles, the team immediately went into action. They are also in the forest, so they naturally have to be extra careful not to set themselves on fire. Fortunately, Xie Yongzhi also considered this situation when planning, and these parts are not complete
Unprepared. As the whistle sounded, the formation changed, from the previous quadrangular formation to a serpentine formation, and the whole army retreated to the outside of the forest, and the archers kept firing their bows in all directions. The sound of swishing through the air was endless, and arrows were pouring in all directions. On the surface, this group of centaurs seemed to be frightened by the previous dark arrows, desperate to escape. But after they had run about fifty paces, one of the men threw the torch in his hand into the grass beside him! With the torch thrown
A flame rose into the air, and then a fiery snake spread into the distance. The hard-working ambush finally worked, and Xie Yi and his subordinates were also refreshed. All the places where firewood and grass are piled up and where fires are buried are secretly marked to facilitate the casting. Of course, the night is not visible
Some secret notes will inevitably be missed, but it is enough to find a few. Not only firewood and grass were arranged here, but also a culvert was dug to build a fire inducer, and the flames of the fire extended in the direction of the culvert. No matter how wet it is on the sandbank, it can ignite eventually. Although the fire here will not immediately form a prairie fire, it is still not to be taken lightly. The feet of everyone accelerated and retreated outside the forest, and after more than ten steps, another general was in the hands
Torches were thrown to his side. However, this time the reaction was far worse than before, although the torches were lit with weeds, but the fire was not strong, and it was impossible to form the momentum of Fang Cai. It was not surprising that he was unable to see in the dark night, and it was not strange that he was flustered and looked at the wrong place, Xie Yi just snorted and didn't say anything, and the army continued to move forward. Another tribal threw a torch, this time as before, still with little effect
At most, it can be regarded as adding a little embellishment to the night.
Xie Yi couldn't help but scold: "Look at it!" ”
At this moment, one of the tribunes suddenly pointed behind him and said, "Look! The crowd looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the blazing fire rising into the sky, which was particularly eye-catching in the night. There are no mountains on Parrot Island, so the fire can be seen clearly from outside the sandbar. For these parts, this is obviously not what they want to do
to the result. These people just want to force out the opponent hidden in the forest with fire, and they don't want to expose themselves to others. Besides, after all, they are still being pursued by officers and soldiers, and even if there is no trace of warships nearby, it is not a good thing to attract the attention of officers and soldiers.
Seeing that the fire was like this, everyone was a little panicked, and they didn't even care about waiting for the opponent who had escaped from the siege, they just wanted to escape quickly. Xie Yi frowned and said, "When Xie Da first arranged it, it was impossible to let the fire burn like this. ”
"Don't worry about those idle things, it's better to go first, and then it's too late if you don't escape!" A pro-soldier shouted loudly beside Xie Yi.
Xie Yi glanced at this and snorted coldly: "This little courage is still a soldier?" This fire is far away from us, and the wind is not in this direction tonight, so it will not burn you. Even if you stand here and don't move, the fire won't ......" Before he finished speaking, he heard the sergeant exclaim in surprise, and he quickly turned his body back, only to see a faint fire in front of everyone. The fire didn't seem to be too big, but it was in the direction where everyone was fleeing, which was obviously not normal. No
No matter how reckless he is, he will not set fire to his escape. Besides, everyone is here, who set the fire? Seeing that this fire is getting stronger and stronger, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will evolve into a sea of fire. The reason why I don't feel it now is that the distance and trees obscure the view, and it's not really that there is no threat. The wind direction that was originally favorable to everyone has become successful at this time
Reminders. These veterans all know the truth of the ruthlessness of fire and water, if it weren't for the well-trained Xie Yi himself and the hearts of the army, I am afraid that they would have scattered and fled at this time.
Xie Yi knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "Change your route!" Then he led everyone to change directions, wanting to avoid the fire and break through quickly. Before, Xie Yi was still thinking about exchanging his life for killing the enemy, but at this time, he only thought about going first. He knew very well that the gap in pure martial arts could be filled by the number of people. Coupled with the gap in strategy, it is not something that can be recovered by manpower.
His opponent is not a brave man, but a real general, not only strong in martial arts, but also knows how to use tactics, and even Xie Yongzhi is not his opponent at all. As the son of the Xie family, Xie Yi has also heard of the famous name of the ancestor of the main family. In the battle of Huangshui that year, the great achievements of the ancestors of the Xie family in turning the tide were talked about, and it was an allusion that every slave of the Xie family must remember. Military men like Xie Yi have never read a book, so they can't tell the truth, and they don't know what the art of war is. I can't remember the great achievements of the ancestors of the main family, and I can't figure out the doorway here. But the old father, who has been a trilogy all his life, can make Xie Yiji remember a few words
Stop: "We as military men just do what we are ordered, rush forward with knives and guns, and we can't stop as long as we have a breath of air." The nobles don't have to fight with people, they just have to fight with their opponents, and that's what the lord said. You just remember that the Lord and Ancestor played with the eyes of the heart, and defeated the opponent...... Don't laugh, that's what wars are all about, whoever has more eyes will have the upper hand. On weekdays, if we can't calculate others, we are doomed to be poor, and when we can't calculate others, we are dead
one. In the future, if you are a kid, you must remember when you have the right to take charge of the army, and when you encounter someone with many eyes, run away quickly, don't go up and fight hard, that is to send death! "Tonight's situation is in response to my own Lao Tzu's words, this opponent has counted himself and Xie to death from beginning to end. Every move is in the calculation of others, and even the fire attack is expected by others, and it is dealt with on their own heads. This kind of opponent
How can you beat it? It's a blessing to be able to escape in time, and how dare you think of killing the other party. This fire was actually set up by the other party, and those things that ignited the fire must have been transferred by him in advance, so he let his subordinates fail to ignite twice in a row. Xie Yi couldn't understand why his opponent wanted to set fire, just like he couldn't figure out why Shen Guang's body was far
How could he be so quick to run in front of his own people and light a fire in such a short time.
Everyone had not gone far, and suddenly there was a bowstring sound overhead, and a member of the Xie family fell down in response. This time, all the tribes found the location of the comer, who was hiding in the canopy of the tree and launched a sneak attack from the tree. The centaur was already a little flustered, and the fire in front and behind them made them feel that they were turtles in an urn, and they could be consumed by the fire if they were not careful. In order to escape, he didn't care about the neat formation, and only thought about escaping from the woods first. Archers are naturally no exception, and no one can hold their bows and arrows in such a situation and maintain the appearance of being in battle. At the moment, although I found its location, it was too late to release the arrows. In a hurry, he drew his arrow and raised his bow to aim at the canopy, but more people chose to run wildly, as for the robe that was shot
Ze, but now he can't take care of it.
In the canopy of the tree, a man's voice suddenly sounded: "You are already in a desperate situation, why don't you surrender quickly?" As he spoke, he saw a figure swaying, and a figure flew down from the tree, and before the archer could loosen his strings, the man had already landed in front of them. The sword swept through the air, and the two archers in front of him fell to the ground. The others were about to start besieging it, but the people who came were in their hands
With a wave of the sword, another person was slashed, and then the sword swept so that everyone did not dare to move forward.
Xie Yi shouted, "Who are you?" "I don't even know your grandfather Shen Zhichong, and you dare to make a living without capital?" Although the person who came was alone, his attitude was extraordinarily calm. On the contrary, the Xie family was a little flustered when they heard his name, and some of them hurriedly retreated, with swords and spears in their hands
pointed at the comer, but did not dare to come forward to attack. Those archers with bows had already drawn their bows and arrows, and they did not dare to let their arrows hurt anyone.
Xie Yi roared angrily: "Meat Flying Immortal? I know that you are the head of the young men in Chang'an, but you dare to go to the island alone, it is too much to see no one! "Alone? Who says I'm alone? Your grandfather is now a general in the imperial court, how could he come alone? What shall thou do with this fire? Although you don't have much knowledge, you should always know the phrase "raising fire", right? Now the imperial army is over
However, attacking from all directions, the land of projectiles must be broken in a moment, and you still think you have a chance of winning? I'll tell you one more thing, I can't count on that five-tooth boat! Xie Yi's biggest concern is actually the safety of Wuyazhou. He stayed to prepare to die, but if he wanted to keep his family alive and his descendants had a way to eat, he had to ensure that Wuyazhou and most of the tribes could escape. Hear Shen Guangru
Saying this, he only felt that his heart was tight, and he didn't even care about the fight and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by this?" "This fire call was issued not only to the officers and soldiers, but also to Xu Le. Le Langjun has already gone to burn the five-tooth boat, do you think it can be saved? ”
