Chapter 108: The Empty City (I)

"Brother Han, do you see something?"

Yang Zhanfei saw that Han Yi looked relaxed, and he was still in the mood to joke, knowing that he must have seen something, so he hurriedly asked Han Yi.

Han Yi shook his head with a smile, and pointed his hand forward, "Where is the Yin Soldier, it's just phosphorus fire." ”

"Oh, isn't it a ghost fire?"

Where does Yang Zhanfei know what phosphorus is? So he heard it as a spiritual fire, and it startled him.

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and then understood, but he didn't know how to explain it, because this explanation had to start with the periodic table, isn't it embarrassing for him, a person who has not read a book, and said with a wry smile: "It should be regarded as a spiritual fire, it is not a ghost fire, this is just made of a powder." ”

"Powder?"

"Yes, this powder is not heat-resistant, and if the temperature is slightly higher, it will spontaneously combust."

Yang Zhanfei frowned slightly, looked at the sky again, and said: "It's autumn at this time, although the sky is clear, but the weather is not very hot, and it's night again, if the powder you said can spontaneously combust on this cool night, then how can this powder be carried?" ”

"You're right, it's true that the temperature on this big night isn't enough to make this powder natural, but that's where the ingenuity lies."

Han Yi smiled slightly and said, "Although I'm not sure, I can also guess seven, seven, eight, eight." The key lies in the sound of horses' hooves. ”

"The sound of horses' hooves?"

Yang Zhanfei looked at Han Yi in confusion.

Han Yi said: "If I guessed correctly, they should have secretly ordered someone to sprinkle this powder in a certain area in advance, and when it was dead of night, they tied a hot thing to the horse's tail, and then ordered someone to ride a horse and drag this hot object to run around in the area sprinkled with powder, and the powder ignited as soon as it encountered heat, and the powder was light, and as soon as the wind blew, it floated in the air, and others didn't know." Looking at it from a distance, coupled with the fact that someone had already said that Chen Shuo would really summon a Yin soldier, he thought that this must be a Yin soldier, and heard the sound of horses' hooves. I must have thought that the Yin soldiers came on horseback, with sounds and images, how realistic this is. I don't want to think about it, this yin soldier is floating in the air. Do you need to ride a horse? ”

Yang Zhanfei was very embarrassed when he heard this, he really thought that these Yin soldiers came on horseback, and couldn't help but say angrily: "It turns out that these are all side ways, I thought that woman was amazing." ”

Han Yi shook his head and said, "This is exactly what makes her so powerful." ”

Yang Zhanfei was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

Han Yi raised his head to the side, "Just look at them." ”

Yang Zhanfei turned his head to look and saw that every soldier was trembling in awe, and some even closed their eyes, obviously frightened.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zhanfei couldn't help but feel very worried, just in this state. As soon as the enemy rushes up, he will run away, there is no suspense, I am afraid that it will become like this if I don't fight, and what are the chances of winning the fight. He sighed: "I see, they are using these side ways to scare us first, so that our soldiers are afraid, and their morale will be greatly reduced, while their morale is high, and one is better." Therefore, they have repeatedly defeated the strong with the weak. No wonder Cui Tingshi wrote that in fact, he was not unable to defeat these rebels, but the generals under his account did not dare to fight, so he delayed the fighter. So much so that it is now in trouble. ”

What he said is not wrong at all, these rebels are nothing more than some rabble, where is there any combat effectiveness, and the current Tang Dynasty army is very strong, the reason why these rebels can win one after another. One is that it broke out suddenly, to put it bluntly, this uprising was only caused by a county rebellion, and the imperial court did not expect it at all, and it was not well prepared.

Second, Chen Shuo is really good at sneak attacks and the use of spies, because most of her soldiers are ordinary people, it is difficult to judge at a glance when walking on the road, and she has never used spies to win once, Cui Tingshi's letter also said that within three days, Wuzhou arrested more than 20 spies.

Third, it is these deceptive tricks, the ancient people were very superstitious, and the soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty were also farmers, you can improve their combat effectiveness, but you can't eliminate their superstitions, these soldiers saw that this Chen Shuo was really able to summon the Yin Soldier Divine General, and they must have thought that she really knew how to spell, and she was afraid before she fought, where did she dare to take the lead, which gave Chen Shuo a real opportunity, just like now, they are afraid of being like this, how can they still fight.

"Exactly."

Han Yi nodded.

Yang Zhanfei said worriedly: "How can that be good, we were already outnumbered, and now that our morale has fallen, it is even more difficult to resist." ”

Why does this man have such a bad memory? Han Yi complained secretly, and said: "Second son, don't forget, I can also do immortal arts, don't worry, I don't spend a single soldier, even if the city gate is opened, they won't dare to attack." ”

"Yes, I almost forgot about it." Yang Zhanfei patted his head and said with a smile: "But you don't need to open the city gate, I believe you are." ”

He wouldn't think I was exaggerating, would he? Han Yi said: "The second son has heard of the empty city plan? ”

Yang Zhanfei shook his head.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms does not seem to have been written by the Tang Dynasty. Han Yi didn't have time to care about these, and said: "The empty city plan, to put it simply, is that the virtual is real, the real is virtual, and now the army in Yangzhou City is empty, we know, and the other party also knows, then the other party will definitely decide that we will either surrender or defend the city wall, but if we neither surrender nor defend to the death, there is not a single soldier on the city wall, and even the city gate is wide open, if it is the second son, you encounter this situation, what will you think?" ”

Yang Zhanfei said: "I will suspect that there is an ambush." Oh, I see, you are trying to set up suspicious soldiers to make the other party suspicious, and dare not attack rashly. ”

"That's right."

"But."

Yang Zhanfei sounded a little unsteady and said, "But if we don't deceive them, then we'll be all finished." ”

Han Yi said: "It's true how to say it, but it's a lie-no, but the art of war is cloudy, soldiers, tricks, in such a situation, we can only win by surprise, and we can't beat it normally, only magnifying moves, and we have two ** treasures." ”

Yang Zhanfei hurriedly asked, "What magic weapon?" ”

Han Yi said: "First, it is those bald heads with strange bones and deep Buddha affinity, you will know this later, and it is difficult to say clearly; Second, it is the traitors sent into the city by the other party, they originally wanted to cooperate with the outside, and thought that we were in the dark and didn't know, but they didn't expect that we had already seen through it. Now that the city is completely locked down, the news can't get out at all, and when they see that there is no movement from the people inside, they will definitely have doubts about their previous judgment. I've said before that trust can collapse in an instant, but suspicion is the opposite. The more suspicious they are, the more afraid they are, they will definitely be suspicious, and in this way, the other party will retreat without a fight. ”

Han Yi said for a long time, Yang Zhanfei was still very hesitant, this is not a joke, once your city gate is opened, it will be difficult to recover, as long as the other party attacks, Yangzhou City will definitely be breached. There is no suspense about this, although he is a famous general, but after all, he has not taken on such a heavy responsibility, this city is broken, then he has become a sinner of the Yang family and a sinner of the country, because if you don't open the city gate, then maybe you will hold it.

This is precisely the charm of war, that is, there is no certainty, and it is full of variables. Maybe the victory was already in his pocket at the previous moment, but it rained and he was defeated, which is a test of the commander's ability to adapt to changes. A choice can save you from death, or it can leave you with no body.

Han Yi didn't make a sound, they have a holy saying in Qianmen, which is what he often says, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. As long as you are fully prepared, then go to it wholeheartedly, if you fail it is providential, don't complain, no matter how powerful you are, you can't fight the sky, no wonder yourself, don't be afraid, this deception is very dangerous, if you are afraid, then you don't dare to go, how to deceive, so, as long as he is ready, he has nothing to fear, just enjoy this excitement.

Gambling money is so exciting, gambling life is even more exciting.

But Yang Zhanfei is not Han Yi, he thinks too much about things, and hesitates for a while, "How sure are you?" ”

For Han Yi, there is no difference between a one-percent grasp and a ninety percent grasp, anyway, he only does ninety-percent, and one-percent is arranged by God, he can't count this percent, but he knows that the current Yang Zhanfei needs to give him a dose of heart booster, so he said: "Ten percent." ”

Yang Zhanfei was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Han Yi would answer him so confidently, and seeing Han Yi's relaxed face, he didn't have any fear at all, and he was very ashamed in his heart, I, Yang Zhanfei, am also a famous family, and he is just a peasant boy, this big enemy is currently standing on this city wall, and he should be worried, scared, and uneasy should be his, how did he run to me.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was too embarrassed, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and carefully analyzed the strength of both sides, there were already few people on his side, and after such a frightening night, the military was even more unstable, if the other party attacked strongly, I am afraid it would be difficult to defend, so it was better to gamble, and Han Yi's analysis was very good. Clapped the board and said, "Okay, just according to what you say." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "Second son, please rest assured, I have never missed a move in this regard." ”

Halfway through this, one person walked up and said, "Second son, Han Gongzi, things have been prepared properly." ”

Han Yi said: "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost the third watch."

"So fast, let's start quickly, we only have three hours."

Han Yi said as he said to Yang Zhanfei again: "My magic weapon is also here." ”

Dawn was approaching, and the pale blue sky was inlaid with a few remnant stars, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray.

Rebel battalion.

"Report!"

A soldier in a green coat, probably a sentry, shouted a long voice in a good manner, and walked into the big account, "General, yesβ€”the other party has opened the city gate." ”

Tong Wenbao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Could it be that they went out of the city and surrendered?" ”

"Noβ€”it's not."

The man's voice trembled a little, and he stammered: "The other party invites the monk to help." ”

Tong Wenbao was stunned and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Returning to the general, the other party invited more than a dozen monks to help."

"Monk?"

Tong Wenbao said: "Where did you learn about this? ”

"When the general went to take a look, he saw that those monks were floating on the city wall."

"Floatingβ€”floating on the city walls?"

Tong Wenbao was shocked.

Half an hour later, Tong Wenbao led the vanguard to the city, and the city gate was really wide open, from the city wall to the city gate, there was no soldier, and it was very quiet.

However, on the city wall, ten monks dressed in monk robes, copper-colored, holding various styles of magic weapons, sitting cross-legged in the air, and not hanging in the city wall, but hanging above the battlements, almost all have been outside the city wall, once they fall, they will fall to death, what is even more terrifying is that there are two monks, who are actually hanging above the heads of the other two monks, more than three feet apart, and there is also a high platform in the middle, which is used to command or observe the enemy's situation, But now it was not the commander standing on the high platform, but a monk in a red robe sitting cross-legged, and this monk was also the only one who was not suspended in the air.
