The later the night, the colder it gets.

When it's at its coldest, it can almost drip into ice. Countless torches were lit in the Xiongnu camp, and the fire was bright, illuminating the camp as if it were day. The soldiers on the night patrol wore thick clothes, felt hats, and cloth toils over their faces, revealing only a pair of eyes, and looked around for a long time.

It was so cold that the soldiers had to cover their cheeks to ward off the cold wind. The two soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp approached the torches, warmed themselves by the heat of the torches, and chatted and talked in whispers.

"Hey, I noticed a figure shaking outside the camp?"

Suddenly, a soldier with a strange look on his face glanced outside the camp and saw that there was nothing.

"You're dazzled, how can there be a figure in the dark?"

The soldier next to him widened his eyes and stared at the outside of the camp for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing outside the camp, he quipped. When I listened to it, the cold wind was howling, and there was nothing else.

The two soldiers continued to speak, unconcerned about the situation outside the camp.

Ten zhang away outside the camp, Zhong Shu glared at the soldiers next to him viciously, and said in a low voice: "Your kid's reckless actions almost ruined the plan of the Grand Governor, if you commit it again, Lao Tzu will be the first to kill you." When I go down, I should be careful, be light, and don't make any big noise. ”

Zhong Shu ordered, and the soldiers around him nodded again and again. It was almost discovered just now, and everyone was more careful. Time passed, and the soldiers scattered around the Hun camp constantly poured water on the ground, forming patches of ice.

Heavy snow fell on it, quickly covering up the ice.

In an hour, the soldiers completed their task.

All the soldiers were tired and panting, and their hands and feet were a little numb, but there was a look of excitement on their faces. Because the Hun camp was splashed with water, the distance of dozens of zhang was surrounded by ice and snow, and the war horse rushed out and would slip when stepping on the ice, which made it difficult for the war horse to walk, removing the biggest advantage of the Hun cavalry, and turning the Huns on horseback into Hun soldiers who could not run.

Gan Ning glanced at the soldiers on the mission and said, "Zhong Shu, take the soldiers to rest for a while." ”

Zhong Shu nodded, but did not refute.

He really needs to take a break and regain some strength.

Gan Ning looked at a lieutenant next to him and ordered, "Liu Ba, I already told you what to do just now, go ahead." ”

"Yes, I'll do it." Liu Ba responded with his fists clenched and took a thousand soldiers under his command to carry out the mission. These 1,000 soldiers were also scattered around the Xiongnu camp, each soldier carried a can of tung oil, a bag of gunpowder, and some soldiers held unlit torches, ready to surround the Xiongnu camp, which was the second step of Gan Ning's preparation.

Liu Ba approached the Xiongnu camp with his soldiers, and stopped only ten zhang away from the Xiongnu camp.

This is already very close to the Hun camp, and the slightest mistake will be discovered.

In order to complete the task, Liu Ba has already let go. He looked at the soldiers beside him and ordered: "Let the soldiers throw the clay pot with tung oil into the Hun camp, and then light the gunpowder and throw it in." ”

The order was passed on, word of mouth, and soon spread to all the soldiers.

"Drink!!"

A low shout came, and the soldier couldn't care so much, and stood up and threw the clay pot with tung oil to the Hun camp. The crockpot was not large, and there was not much oil in it, so the soldiers could easily throw the oil can into the camp. One by one, clay pots flew through the air, and thousands of unknown objects approached the Hun army camp before falling to the ground.

"Whoa!"

The clay pot shattered, and the tung oil spilled all over the ground, overflowing.

The sound of the crockpot shattering awakened the soldiers on the night patrol, and they became vigilant and looked closely, finding that there was only sound and no other attacks. The soldiers at the gate of the camp were also cautious and spotted people outside the camp.

However, no soldiers were killed.

A Hun lieutenant ran to report to the humbled and reported the news.

When the tung oil was sprinkled on the ground of the Xiongnu camp, the Shu soldiers who were in ambush outside the camp began to gather together in twos and threes to block the howling cold wind, and then felt out the fire fold and lit the torch that was resting next to it.

The first torch was lit, and one torch after another was lit.

In the blink of an eye, a fiery red circle of light appeared outside the Hun camp, and the soldiers of the Shu army could be clearly seen. When the Hun cavalry in the camp saw it, they were all very strange, what does this mean?

Is the Shu army standing outside the camp to attack the camp?

Qubei walked out of the camp tent, looking at the Shu soldiers holding torches outside the camp, as well as the busy soldiers, with a contemptuous smile on his face. There are not many Shu troops around the camp, so don't worry about going to Bei. He strode to the place where the crockpot fell in the camp, reached out and touched the slippery tung oil, put it on his nose and sniffed it, and frowned.

At this time, the Shu soldiers used torches to ignite the gunpowder.

"The Huns raised by the son of a bitch, go die!"

With a loud roar, the first gunpowder that ignited the fuse flew through the night sky.

Immediately afterward, packets of gunpowder flew around the camp, and dense gunpowder streaked through the air. The fuses burned, and the fiery snakes flew, which looked extremely gorgeous. When the gunpowder hit the ground, there was an explosion, sparks splashed, and the tung oil also burned quickly, and with the help of the howling cold wind, the fire did not go out, but burned more and more.

"Boom!!"

Explosions rang out one after another, and gunpowder spread all around the camp.

A fire broke out around the camp and quickly spread to the center of the camp.

At this moment, the tung oil that had been dumped on the ground burst out with the most powerful power. Under the howling of the cold wind, the fire of tung oil and gas was like a fire snake scurrying around, constantly igniting the tent of the camp.

Qubei was affected by gunpowder, his cheeks were dark, and he was embarrassed.

He looked at the fire that was burning in the camp and shouted, "Quick, let all the soldiers get on their horses and rush out on horseback." ”

I can't take revenge on the Shu army, I just want to kill it as soon as possible and get rid of the fire.

Liu Ba looked at the Hun camp that had turned into a sea of fire, and his heart was extremely happy.

He yelled, "Withdraw!" ”

Suddenly, the 1,000 Shu soldiers on the mission cautiously moved on the ice and returned to the army. Seeing Liu Ba returning, Gan Ning patted Liu Ba's shoulder and praised: "You kid is so good, a fire and gunpowder explosion are enough to make the Hun cavalry lose countless losses, especially the Hun soldiers' war horses are frightened, and it is not easy to control."

Liu Ba smiled and said: "Most of the capital governors are clever, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with the Huns." ”

Zhong Shu immediately said: "Dadudu, the Huns are in a mess, let the archers prepare!" ”

Gan Ning nodded and said, "Well, let the soldiers prepare immediately." This time, you don't need to attack with rockets, just use bows and arrows. Whether it was the Hun soldiers or the Huns' war horses, they all shot me to death. ”

Gan Ning listened to the roars coming from the Hun camp, and his heart was happy.

He did not act according to Li Ru's plan, and he would have won the same victory. If nothing else, just a burning fire is enough to make Qubei lose thirty percent of his combat effectiveness.

At this moment, I also feel a headache to go to humility, and I regret it a little in my heart.

If you follow the advice of the generals during the day and lead the army back to the camp, you will not be attacked by the Shu army. But no matter how much you regret it, it won't help. He quickly asked the guards to bring the horses, and then asked his cavalry to gather and prepare for battle. However, the explosion of gunpowder frightened the horses, and the assembled soldiers were only more than 7,000 people.

The remaining more than 3,000 soldiers were still pacifying the war horses, or controlling the rioting war horses. He couldn't wait for all the soldiers to assemble, because the camp was already on fire.

As long as you rush out of the camp, you will definitely be able to turn the situation around and defeat the Shu army.
