Xu Huang returned to obedience, and Mu Yi was in a pretty good mood. Originally, Mu Yi was short of manpower now, but he never thought that he would recruit a general when he was crusading against the Baibo Army.

Back in the barracks, the whole barracks carnivaled, Mu Yi ordered a big feast to celebrate, and everyone in the army had meat.

The north wind swept the ground and the snowflakes flew.

That night, the weather became quite bad, and light snow began to fall in the middle of the night.

Seeing Mu Yi standing at the door of the Chinese army's big tent and looking at Bai Bolei, Guo Jia and the others stepped forward one after another and asked, "Why is the lord worried?" ”

Mu Yi pointed in the direction of Bai Bolei and said, "Gongming is more familiar with the White Wave Army, so it is better to talk about the situation of the White Wave Army first." ”

Since he took refuge in Mu Yi, Xu Huang did not hide his selfishness, nodded and said: "Baibo Fortress is an earthen fort built of loess, and all the Baibo troops live in the fortress, including more than 40,000 young and strong, more than 50,000 old and weak women and children, and the total number of people has reached more than 100,000. In addition, 20,000 cavalry under the command of Yu Fuluo also lived in Baibo Fortress. ”

Mu Yi crossed his arms, spun back and forth in place, and asked after a long silence: "With so many people living in a small earthen fort, it is cold and freezing, how should they solve the housing problem?" Also, the Baibo army hastily raised troops, is there enough food and grass? ”

Xu Huang arched his hand and said: "There are thatched houses in the fortress, which are usually lived by a family, and after Yu Fuluo came, he vacated some houses for them, and now in this weather, it is estimated that they can only be crowded together." As for the grain and grass, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days. Since the beginning of the army, everyone has only been able to eat half full every day. ”

Guo Jia's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he said after a moment of silence: "I can only eat half full every day, which shows that the Baibo Army has long been short of food and grass, and the combat effectiveness of such a team is not strong. A small fortress is home to more than 100,000 people, and all of them live in thatched houses, and if they set fire to it, they can take the white wave fortress without blowing fire. Just ......"

"Just what......" everyone asked in unison.

Guo Jia said with a bitter face: "In the face of such a situation, the best way is to attack with fire. But how to make a fire in the fortress is a headache! ”

Mu Yi nodded, walked to the map and looked at it carefully for a long time, muttering to himself: "Distance...... Distance...... Set......? ”

After a long time, Mu Yi patted his thigh and said, "Oops! Why did you forget about it? We have rarely had siege battles since we fought everywhere, and we have always fought in large armies, but we have ignored that we still have a siege weapon. Bong Hyo, immediately let people prepare oil ......"

As Mu Yi continued to speak slowly, Guo Jia's eyes gradually lit up, and the chicken nodded vigorously like eating rice.

The next day, the sky brightened, and Guo Jia immediately found the carpenter accompanying him in the army. Although these people are not the main force of frontal fighting, each army on the levy carries a part of the craftsmen, the main reason is to build tools such as ladders and horses when attacking cities and plundering land.

Guo Jia found the leader of the craftsmen and told them that what needed to be built this time was specially explained by Mu Yi, and he had to build it as quickly as possible no matter what.

In this way, Mu Yi stayed in the barracks for three consecutive days, just letting people besiege the Baibo army, so that the Baibo army could not come out.

The weather turned sunny and the sunny days after the snow were unusually cold. The sun was shining, but the wind was howling, and the snow was flying everywhere on the ground. The sun shines on the snow, and the dazzling light reflects that people can only squint slightly, and when they open their eyes a little, they feel a tingling sensation.

White Wave Lead

At this time, the fortress was already densely packed with people, looking into the distance curiously.

At this time, the four sides of the Bai Bo Fortress had been blocked by Mu Yi on three sides, especially the strange wooden carts in front of the military formation, so that the Bai Bo Army really couldn't understand what the Hezhou Army was going to do?

This is not to blame them, even the state soldiers, most people don't know what this is.

In fact, the thing that Mu Yi makes people build is the catapult, because the catapult appeared in the Middle Ages, and there was no such thing in the Three Kingdoms period, so everyone was confused when they saw the catapult.

Catapults are long-range attack weapons, suitable for siege cities, and can throw thirty or forty pounds of stones more than 100 meters away, which is definitely a siege weapon.

And Mu Yi made a total of more than 30 catapults built this time, and more than a dozen were placed in each place on each of the three sides of the white wave base. As for the things that were thrown, they were not stones, but were made of straw and other things tied into a round ball, and then soaked in oil.

on the fortress

Mrs. Guo looked at the catapults and asked, "Do you know what those wooden carts are?" ”

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, saying that they had never seen it.

But then, even if they don't have to ask, they all know what it's for.

With Mu Yi's order, someone immediately loaded and ignited the projectile.

Immediately, a gorgeous scene appeared in the sky. The flaming fireball was tossed into the air by the catapult like a meteor shower flying through the sky.

Even if Mrs. Guo doesn't have knowledge, she has some common sense, how can she not understand what it is.

"Quick, the shield hand comes forward, the archer releases the arrow......"

"Great Chief, it's useless! It's too far away for a bow and arrow to shoot! ”

"Boom ......"

In the first round of projectiles, many people were not familiar with the catapult operation, so the fireballs flew to the corner of the fortress and fell, and some of them smashed on the earthen fort wall, and only three or two scattered fell on the fort wall.

Seeing that Mu Yi made such a play, it was just a thunder and rain, and Mrs. Guo suddenly laughed unscrupulously: "Hahaha...... Mu Yi Xiao'er only engages in this kind of kitsch and lewd skills, and he thinks how powerful it is! In this way, it is not more than ......"

However, not long after Mrs. Guo's unbridled laughter fell, the next scene made his laughter stop abruptly, the whole person's expression froze on his face, and his throat seemed to be stuck by a duck in the neck, "giggling", and he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Because of the first throw, the soldiers adjusted the angle of the projectile, and this time they actually threw the fireball from the earthen fort and threw it directly into the house.

"Boom...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

The fireball landed on the thatched roof and directly collapsed the roof, igniting the thatch covering the roof.

More than thirty fireballs fell into the fortress, and although only a dozen of them hit the house, because the houses were all thatched huts, they immediately burst into flames when they encountered fireballs.

Then, one after another, fireballs fell into the fort, and more houses were set on fire, and as far as the eye could see, the entire fort, whether it was houses or streets, was already in flames.

People shouted and neighed, the scene was chaotic, and the cries of the old and weak women and children were continuous, as if they were purgatory on earth.

When Mrs. Guo and the Bai Bojun on the fortress saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded, and before they could fight with others, their nest was burned into a sea of fire, which is still a fart!

"Quick, gather the soldiers and horses, and immediately follow a certain fight out of the encirclement...... "Hundred Plating" The latest chapter of "Three Kingdoms and One Small Soldier Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
