Cai Xijun, Zhengyang Army, Yanyang Army, Peng Lijun, as well as 50,000 troops each of Juyang Jun Xiong Li and Huancheng Jun Xiong Tuo, as well as 30,000 soldiers of Nashouling Jun Jingshe, several Chu armies gathered together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This army of nearly 290,000 people is ready to launch the fiercest offensive against the Wei army so far since the Wei army crossed the Hun River.

"I was finally caught by Lao Tzu......"

In the Yanyang Army, Zhou Zheng, the leading general, looked indignant.

You must know that a while ago, because the Wei army did not set up a camp, the Chu army could be said to have suffered enough, and wanted to attack the Wei army, but they didn't know where to start, after all, the Wei army didn't even have a camp, this attack is a fart.

And now, the Wei army has established an ice city outside the city, which is a good thing for the Chu army, which means that the Chu army finally has an offensive target, and there is no longer a clueless search for the traces of the Wei army as before.

Merely......

Isn't this city too big?

Standing at the front of the team, Zhou Zheng covered his eyebrows with his right hand, looking at the ice city in the distance, the more he looked, the more incredible he felt.

After all, the scale of this Wei Army Ice City presented in front of the Chu army generals was no less than that of Juyang County, and even surpassed.

Can such a thing really be built overnight?

At this moment, not only Zhou Zheng held such an idea, Cai Hou, the county prince who commanded Cai Xi's army, Ximen Ji, the county prince who commanded the Xiyang army, Xu Ji, the commander of Peng Li's army, and even Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng who had seen Zhao Hongrun's methods earlier, were all shocked at this moment because of the relationship between the grand ice city in front of him.

Especially those illiterate ordinary soldiers of the Chu State are even more ear-to-ear and whispering.

It's no wonder, after all, the Chu State is the most prevalent of strange talk about gods, ghosts and monsters, so that at this moment, there are many generals who feel that the ice city in front of them that does not seem to be able to be achieved by manpower is very likely to be built by the gods and ghosts and monsters for the Wei army.

Thinking that the Wei army might have received the help of a certain god and ghost, many Chu army generals only felt that the cold wind blowing on their faces was becoming more and more cold and biting. Note: The gods, ghosts, and monsters here are not derogatory, but gods in a broad sense, including evil gods who cause disasters due to chaos.

It's no wonder, after all, at this moment, even those who have studied and understand some worldly truths, such as Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, Xiong Wu of Guling, and others, think that they can't explain how this ice city was built, let alone those illiterate Chu soldiers?

Only Shouling Jun Jingshe was very convinced that this must have been made up by Ji Run, the prince of Wei, who commanded the Wei army, and did not involve the slightest inhuman power of gods and ghosts.

"Pass on a certain order, ask Fei Zhuang to take the lead!"

Standing in the main formation of the army on a war horse, Shouling Jun Jingshe commanded the herald.

Hearing this, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, who was also watching the battle in this formation, was slightly stunned, and asked curiously: "Lord Jingshe, don't you see that Ji Run?" ”

Shouling Jun Jingshe smiled faintly when he heard this.

He thought that he and Ji Run, the prince of Wei, had already finished what he had to say: he ordered many Chu troops here to burn the woods, so as to tell Ji Run to return to the north bank of the Hu River; And Ji Run replied by building this ice city in one night, which is absolutely impossible.

Now that the intentions of both sides are clear, what more do you need to say? It's the real chapter under your hands!

Fei Zhuang is a general under the command of Shouling Jun Jingshe. I don't know if it was to avoid controversy, Jing She's ordered his army to be the vanguard.

This move alone made Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo think highly of him.

However, waiting for Fei Zhuang to lead the Shouling army to slowly advance from the array of the army, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, realized that he had guessed wrong: Shouling Jun Jingshe made the army under his command the vanguard, not to prevent controversy, but to make some preparations for this battle.

Is that......

Xiong Tuo squinted his eyes at the Shouling army, and he vaguely saw that among the 30,000 Shouling sergeants who were the vanguard, about thirty percent of the soldiers were pushing a wooden cart, that is, the most common wheelbarrow used to transport grain or other things in the Chu State.

At this time, instead of rice bags or two bags, bundles of firewood were piled up on these wheelbarrows.

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, immediately understood, this Lord Jingshe clearly wanted to use fire to attack and melt the ice city of the Wei army!

…… It's really worthy of Lord Jingshe.

Xiong Tuo peeked at Shouling Junjingshe, and secretly admired it in his heart.

It was not that he was admiring Jingshe for preparing to attack the Wei army's ice city in such a short period of time, but that he was admiring the composure of this Lord of the Three Heavenly Pillars.

Because even if it was him Xiong Tuo, he was still thinking about how the Wei army built this ice city in one night.

And the attitude of this Lord Jingshe is more direct - it doesn't matter how you built it, I will destroy it!

Thinking of this, Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, turned his head to look far ahead, looking at the ice city of the Wei army.

Ji Run, how do you parry?

A hint of curiosity flashed in Xiong Tuo's heart.

How to parry?

The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!

At this moment, in the ice city of the Wei army, Zhao Hongrun stood on the high platform built by the soldiers and clearly saw the number of Chu troops outside the city.

It's really decisive, Shouling Jun Jingshe...... Did you summon all the Chu troops in the vicinity?

Zhao Hongrun, who was still fantasizing about whether he could get away with it a moment ago, let out a long breath at this moment, secretly glad that he had not been lucky before, and had already told his soldiers to prepare for the battle, otherwise, the Wei army had just gained a foothold here this time, and I was afraid that he would be driven back to the north of the Huhe River by the Jingshe.

"Your Highness." Zong Wei Chang Wei Jiao seemed to notice something at this time, and reminded in a low voice: "The Chu army seems to want to attack with fire. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Hongrun groaned lightly, looked intently into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that in the vanguard army of the Chu army, there were many soldiers pushing wheelbarrows full of firewood.

In such a short period of time, the strategy of attacking the city had already been thought of, and it seemed that this sudden appearance of the ice city had no effect on that Jingshe at all...... It is worthy of the three-day pillar of the Chu State that has seen strong winds and waves. Merely...... With such a little firewood, can it burn the ice city of this king?

It may be that the opponent he faced this time was one of the three pillars of Chu that had been famous for a long time, and Zhao Hongrun also faintly felt a sense of pride in his heart.

After all, the people who were fortunate enough to fight with Shouling Junjingshe were only a handful in the Wei Kingdom.

"Don't panic, let the soldiers face the enemy in the future, just follow the steps." Zhao Hongrun calmly gave the order, and temporarily let the generals under his command command take their own commands.

After all, he, the commander-in-chief, only needs to focus on the overall situation.

And in the current situation, he didn't think that those firewood could burn the ice city of his Wei army.

It is true that fire (heat) can melt ice, and wind can help to heat up fire, but it also has to be when.

At the moment, the weather in November is colder than any cold winter in Zhao Hongrun's memory, and at this moment, the Huhe River has already frozen, and even a few days later, you can walk and run horses on the ice.

It seems that in such cold and freezing weather, he wants to use a little firewood to melt this ice city, Zhao Hongrun can only say that the Lord Jingshe is thinking too much.

You must know that the ignition point of firewood is between 200 and 300 degrees, and even in the case of an open flame, I am afraid that it will have to be baked for a while to ignite in this cold weather.

What's more, even if the firewood is lit, it will not be able to release enough heat to melt the ice in a short period of time, and it is likely to be blown out by the cold wind and drowned by the ice water that flows down after the ice melts.

The reason why there are few fire attacks on the battlefield since ancient times in the winter after snowfall is very simple: it can't be burned.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun was not afraid of the so-called fire attack method of that Shouling Jun Jingshe, and even when he looked at the countless Chu army generals outside the city, there was a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Although Zhao Hongrun still praised Jingshe for being decisive, at this time, he wanted to say that Shouling Jun Jingshe was still too conservative.

If at this moment, Na Jing She ordered the whole army to attack, then the Wei army might still have some trouble, but Na Shouling Jun Jing She made an army come first to test the effect of the fire attack......

Scold! Standing in the cold wind for a moment, these soldiers still have combat power to speak of?

Zhao Hongrun thought secretly.

At the same time, the Shouling army led by Fei Zhuang had rushed to the Wei army, an ice city.

Seeing this, the Wei soldiers inside the ice wall shot with bows and crossbows.

I have to say that because of the cold wind blowing today, the accuracy of the arrows has obviously been affected, for example, a famous 2,000-strong general of the Yanling army wanted to use a strong bow to snipe the enemy's general Fei Zhuang, but he did not achieve his goal, but only shot a Chu soldier ten zhang away from Fei Zhuang.

In this case, all the Wei archers could do was shoot their bows and arrows as fast as they could, while praying in their hearts that the arrows they shot would hit a target, and there was nothing they could do.

Fortunately, this kind of salvo like the Wei army relied on the covering attack of the enemy, although the sniping intensity of individual targets was greatly weakened, but from the perspective of shooting the enemy's non-commissioned soldiers, it did not have much impact.

Unless it is in the face of a strong wind, once the momentum of the cold wind suddenly becomes stronger, the arrows shot by the Wei army will almost lose their effect.

And the Shouling Army, as the vanguard army, is actually in trouble, and it is a very tricky trouble.

That is, the wheelbarrows pushed by many soldiers in the army, the firewood on which were ignited before the charge, and the firewood of many carts were gradually extinguished under the cold wind.

This change shocked many of the 1,000 and 2,000 generals in his army.

They hurriedly ordered the soldiers to use the fire fold to light the firewood again, but the problem was that it was freezing at the moment, how could the firewood be lit again in a short time with the fire fold alone?

Only a small part of the wheelbarrows were pushed to the foot of the Wei army's ice city while the firewood was burning.

But the effect is also minimal.

As Zhao Hongrun expected, the Wei army on the ice wall only needed to use a handful of snow to make the cart of firewood not burn.

Seeing this scene from afar, Shouling Junjingshe frowned deeply.

Because he felt that the Wei soldiers in the ice city opposite seemed to know how to deal with his fire attack, so that almost no one panicked.

What the? There's a wheelbarrow burning firewood under the ice city? Oh, and give a handful of snow. Ha, solved.

This passage is enough to summarize the process of the battle between the Wei army and the Chu army.

Attacking with fire in the cold winter, is it really half the effort?

Shouling Jun Jingshe frowned deeply.

In all fairness, if it could, no general would be willing to fight in the cold winter, because this season was not conducive to marching and fighting, even if it was one of the three pillars of the Chu State, Shouling Jun Jingshe. (To be continued.) )
