Chapter 914: Burning Yishan (2)
"Sure enough, the main target is Yishan......
On the upper floor of the leather prison, Jin Huang, a famous Korean player who is one of the top ten heroes in the northern plains, sits at a low table, his hands and fingers crossed, and his eyes are intently fixed on a map spread on the table. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In this map, he deliberately marked the four locations of "Yishan", "Pigao Pass", "Wangwu Mountain", and "Tang County", in an attempt to think about the best strategy to break through Pigao Pass from the perspective of Ji Run, the commander of the Wei army and the son of Wei, so as to prepare in advance.
In all fairness, Jin Huang did not mean to underestimate the Wei Gongzi Ji Run opposite, although the other party was indeed too young, but the three battles of "Wei Chuan Sanchuan Campaign", "Four Kingdoms Expedition to Chu" and "Wei Qin Sanchuan Campaign" were enough to prove that Wei Gongzi Ji Run's talent in commanding operations.
Therefore, Jin Huang ignored the other party's age and directly raised the threat of that Wei Gongzi Ji Run to the highest column - 'highest threat'!
Who exactly is on the list of "top threats"?
In fact, there are not many, such as the commander of the Qi State Julu Water Army, "Tian Biao", who once made South Korea very jealous, the Qi general "Tian Tan", who broke more than 50 cities, the Shouling Jun Jingshe of the Chu State, the Xiling Jun Qu Ping, and so on, are all famous generals who have enjoyed a reputation in the Central Plains countries.
Oh, by the way, I remember that a few months ago, there was another person who was included in this list of "highest threats" by Jin Di, and that was Jiang Yan, the previously unknown Wei general.
Famous generals at this level generally do not do some meaningless things during the war, so Jin Huang never believed that the purpose of Ji Run, the son of Wei, was to burn some Korean garrisons on Yishan.
His first thought was to suspect that the other party was trying to occupy the top of Yishan Mountain with the help of this mountain fire.
Merely...... Isn't that a superficial ploy?
Jin Huangzheng frowned and pondered, and suddenly saw a general walk into the gate, clasped his fists and said, "General Qiqi, the last general has been done in accordance with the general's order." ā
What did Jin Huang ask this Han general to do?
In fact, it is very simple, it is just to clear a fire barrier on the mountain.
You must know that there is not only one hill in Yishan, although the westernmost hill has been engulfed by raging flames, but the fire has not yet spread to the east, so Jin Huang ordered the soldiers to cut down the trees in this area between the west and east hills, and artificially create a clearing.
In this way, the fire on Yishan could not spread to the east, so there was no possibility that "the Wei army took advantage of the time difference between the fire on the west and east sides of Yishan to seize this hill".
Of course, if the Wei army forcibly wanted to occupy the western hill that had been swallowed up by the sea of fire, then Jin Huang would not mind firing a few strong crossbow salvos at the bare hill to see if the Wei army could grit its teeth and hold on without any cover.
I have to say that the method of using arson to achieve the purpose of occupying the top of the mountain is indeed a good method, but it is inevitable that he will be underestimated by some means.
How? Do you think that he Jin Huang is an unknown person who is not in the stream? Will it be difficult to be stumped by this kind of sub-scheme?
"Humph!"
Jin Di secretly sneered in his heart.
After a while, a Korean scout hurriedly rushed up to the tower and knocked on the ground and said, "General, the Wei army has increased its troops in Wangwushan, and General Qingyao has asked for assistance." ā
Jin Huang frowned slightly.
Qingyao was his lieutenant general, the general he sent to preside over the overall situation when he decided to increase the number of troops on Wangwushan, and Jin Di believed that as long as this person sat in Wangwushan, the Wei army would not be able to turn over any tricks on that hill.
It's just that the Wei army suddenly increased its troops on Wangwushan, does this have anything to do with the fact that they let go of burning Yishan?
"It seems that ninety percent of them are planning to attack the west...... The real purpose of deliberately increasing troops in Wangwushan to attract my idea should still be in Yishan...... Tsk, I really want to see what kind of expression that Wei Gongzi will have when the other party finds that the fire cannot spread to the east side of the mountain on the east side of Yi Mountain."
Jin Huang chuckled a few times, and immediately ordered to go down, and transferred 3,000 crossbowmen to Yishan secretly, preparing to wait for the Wei army to try to take the opportunity to occupy the mountain on the west side of Yishan, and give the other party a dismount, although it may not be able to cause many casualties to the Wei army, but I believe that it has thwarted the opponent's trick, which will have a positive effect on the morale of his own soldiers.
While Jin Huang was waiting silently, in fact, in Tang County, Zhao Hongrun, the commander of the Wei army, was also waiting, but what he was waiting for was a little different from what Jin Huang thought.
According to the order, a day and a night have passed since the arson was set on Yishan, and the fire in Yishan is still burning, and the monstrous fire that seeps into the people is gradually spreading towards the mountain on the west side of Yishan.
The white smoke produced by the burning sea of fire also slowly drifted towards the Pigao Pass, which was not far from Yishan, and the guards at the choking pass coughed incessantly.
However, contrary to Jin Huang's speculation, Zhao Hongrun never gave the order to prepare to forcibly occupy Yishan, and he did nothing but order the arson of Yishan.
It was as if he was just lying on the bed in the tent with his hands on his hands and closing his eyes to recuperate.
"Your Highness." Zong Wei Zhou Pu came to the handsome tent, hugged his fists and said: "According to the orders of His Royal Highness, the eight well carriages have been built. ā
"Oh." Zhao Hongrun still closed his eyes and responded casually, as if he had already guessed.
But think about it, the Shang Shui Army and the Yan Ling Army together have a total strength of 100,000 troops, and they build eight well chariots in one day and one night, which is really nothing. If it weren't for the terrain restrictions of Pigao Pass, the Wei army could have built dozens or hundreds of well chariots in just a few days.
But what the Zongwei didn't understand was what was the intention of his Royal Highness to order the construction of these eight well cars.
At first, Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao guessed that it was used to attack Pigao Pass head-on, but looking at the absent-minded appearance of his Royal Highness, it seemed to be different from what he guessed?
In the evening, the Crows brought back the latest news about Yishan.
"Report! ā¦ā¦ The South Korean army cut down some trees between the eastern and western hills of Yishan, so that the fire could not spread to the eastern hills. ā
After hearing the news, Zhao Hongrun was still unfazed, closed his eyes and said lightly: "The reaction is quite fast, and he is worthy of Jin Di, one of the top ten heroes in Beiyuan...... If what I expected was correct, he should be suspicious at this moment, suspecting that our army was trying to take advantage of this fire to seize Yishan. ā
"Isn't it?"
Qu Cheng, the general of the Yanling Army, who came to the tent to wait because he had nothing to do, frowned slightly when he heard this.
You know, at first, he also felt that the purpose of this His Royal Highness King Su was to buy time for their Wei army to forcibly occupy the top of Yishan Mountain, but now listening to the tone of His Royal Highness King Su in front of him, it seems that His Royal Highness King Su has other plans?
Inside the tent, Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army, also showed a puzzled expression.
Just when Qu Cheng and Wu Ji were puzzled, they heard Zhao Hongrun say lightly: "If our army insists on spreading the fire to the west mountain of Yishan, then Jin Huang thinks he can stop it?" ā¦ā¦ Wu Ji, when the sun rises tomorrow, you can transfer some catapults in the army to throw oil drums at the west hill of Yishan, remember not to waste it, just set fire to the trees on the west side of the mountain. ā
The "oil barrel" in his mouth, that is, the wooden barrel filled with oil produced in Guizhou, is the greatest contributor to the submission of Sichuan and the destruction of the Jiaojiao, and it is also the most powerful war weapon of the Wei army at present.
"Yes!" Wu Ji nodded and clenched his fists, took this order, and then, he asked puzzledly, "Why is it the time when the sun rises tomorrow morning?" ā
Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly and said, "No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat...... If this king's prediction is not bad, then the Han general Jin Huang will definitely guard against our army taking the opportunity to seize Yishan, so he will most likely secretly transfer troops to the east of Yishan Mountain, waiting for our army to seize the west mountain, and use a salvo of crossbow arrows to give our army a head-on blow. ā¦ā¦ You're going to have to give him some time to deploy your troops, right? ā
Wu Ji suddenly realized, a slightly sinister smile appeared on his face, and he laughed maliciously: "The last general understands." ā
So the next day, according to Zhao Hongrun's instructions, Wu Ji transferred hundreds of Shangshui soldiers and soldiers, and pushed several catapults to the foot of Yishan Mountain.
In an instant, I only heard a few roars from the eastern mountain of Yishan in the distance, and immediately, the mountain forest that would not have spread to the sea of fire suddenly burst into flames, and with the help of oil and autumn wind, the fire became more and more vigorous.
Faintly, Wu Ji heard a burst of exclamations and shouts from the eastern mountain of Yishan in the distance, he laughed a few times, and immediately returned to Tang County with the hundreds of merchant sailors pushing the catapult.
At the same time, the Korean soldiers on the upper floor of Pigaoguan also told the general Jin Huang the news that the eastern mountain of Yishan was also shrouded in flames, and Jin Huang was stunned when he heard it.
Good fellow, since the fire can't reach the east hill of Yishan, let's simply create another fire.
"That Wei Gongzi...... It's too realistic, isn't it?'
Jin Huang couldn't help but lose his mind a little.
At this moment, there was an indescribable strangeness in his heart: it was obvious that he couldn't talk about a clever strategy at all, but there was no way to deal with it.
However, after calming down, Jin Huang also came to a conclusion: the Wei army seemed to have made up their minds to take Yishan by chance.
"Pass on my order, and tell the soldiers on Yishan to control the fire as much as possible, and be sure not to let the fire spread in all directions." After issuing this general order, Jin Di once again decided to send an additional 2,000 soldiers to Yishan to help extinguish the fire.
After all, if that sea of fire really spread to the east side of Yishan Mountain, so that their Korean army could not prevent the Wei army from seizing the mountain, then the situation of their Korean army would not be good.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Jin Di was slightly stunned, and he felt a momentary coolness on his cheeks.
Just as he was surprised, a drop of rain fell on his cheek, making his tense face finally show a few smiles.
"Oh, God help our army."
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun, who was recuperating in the tent with his eyes closed, faintly heard the rustling sound from the tent, opened his eyes and walked out of the tent.
I saw that outside the tent at this moment, the rain gradually rose, and it became heavier and heavier.
"Huh! God help our army. ā
After expressing the same emotion as Jin Di, Zhao Hongrun shouted in a deep voice: "Pass the order, order 10,000 elites, and immediately send troops to Pigao Pass!" ā
"Yes!"
The nearby guards and generals clasped their fists in response.
