Duan Zhenghai said, "Your Excellency is going to burn his grain and grass?" But Master Guo was about to need us to rush to his side, but we went to burn his grain and grass! Even if it's all burned out, what will it do? ”

Gao Jun knew that he was eager to save people, and he didn't care about his verbal collision, but said patiently, "The general thinks badly, Yanqi's grain and grass are related to their long-term plan, which is the weakness of the other party." I went into the city and tried my best to make a fire, and no one could let it go. ”

"So what?" Everyone asked in unison.

"If you want to take care of it, you must use water, and are the wells in the city enough? If they don't have enough, where will they get water? Everyone's eyes lit up, and Duan Zhenghai said, "My lord wants them to take the initiative to open the city gate!" It was a clever plan, but we rushed from here, and before we got close, I am afraid that the other party had already closed the gates. ”

The tall man had made up his mind, and waved his hand to let everyone silent, "Don't ask any more questions, listen to my orders." Only the tall man had the highest position here, and everyone listened and fell silent.

Gao Daren said, "After a while, I brought my own rope and went around to a secluded place under the other party's city, and I wanted to enter the city and set fire to the other party's important places." If there is a fire in the city, I will go to help Lord Guo first. If any of the enemy goes out of the city to get water, it must be with a waterwheel or something—ten miles away, and a fool will not use a man to carry it—but you have to hide it properly, and when the waterwheel arrives, you will catch the person who is taking the water, and disguise yourself as them, and carry a loaded watercart to open the city gate—I suppose that in such an emergency, they will not even be able to interrogate them. When crossing a suspension bridge, be sure to swing a knife and cut the sling so that it can no longer be pulled up. Pull the waterwheel to the gate of the city and cover the gate so that it cannot be closed soon. The enemy will inevitably come to rob him. Therefore, those who go to deceive the city must be good enough to support our cavalry to rush through these ten miles. ”

Everyone understood the meaning of the tall man, and the tall man said, "If there is no fire in the city, there are two situations: one is that I have encountered an accident, and the waterwheel is unlikely to leave the city. You may have the shepherds bring their horses and swagger under the city. If the other party goes out of the city to rob them, the shepherds who lure the enemy will follow them into the city, but when they reach the gate of the city, they will have a seizure. The men and horses that supported General Duan rushed through these ten miles, this was the middle strategy, and it had to be done as a last resort. ”

"In the second case, if there is no fire in the city. It's also possible that I can't find something to burn. Then I will try my best to sneak under the south city gate, and when you lure open the city gate, everyone will stick to the city gate and wait for General Duan's brigade to rush in. If you can't lure the city gates, I have to fight with my life to open the city, and the ears of your shepherds who lure the enemy under the city must always be up, as long as you hear the shouts of killing inside the city gates. Just send a signal to General Duan, and everyone rushed closer together to strengthen the momentum and relieve my pressure in the city. ”

"If you don't see the fire, you can't lure the city open, and you can't hear my fighting sound inside the city gate, everyone can attack desperately, at least you can give some support to Guo Dudu in the city. But that's the best way to go! ”

Everyone heard it clearly, and they all secretly admired the tall man's meticulous plan. Everyone split up and hid in the woods to prepare. The tall man carried a long rope on his back, put on a charcoal fire, and detoured along the bank of the Danhe River to the west and then to the north. Speeding through a jungle that is not too lush.

His hand unintentionally touched the shoulder blades of the charcoal fire, and his palm was red! And it doesn't hurt! Master Gao said on the horse, "Tanhuo, I didn't expect you to be really a sweaty horse," this time he galloped to help Guo Dudu, Gao Jun's horse speed was never mentioned, but he saw the charcoal fire for the first time, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, and he didn't think much about it.

The Danhe River goes around the city in the west of the city, but the mountain road here is steep and difficult to navigate. The enemy will not choose this place to get water, but will definitely go to the flat and open place south of the city.

To the north of the city, Gao Jun was already standing under the towering city walls. Although it was close, the sound of fighting in the city was not very intense. He couldn't help but feel anxious.

There are no roving figures on the city walls, probably because the mountain is too dangerous for most people to move, and therefore not the focus of defense. He didn't know that Luo Zhao was eager to use people, and he was anxious to besiege Guo Xiaoke, so he took people away from the place he thought was the least important.

There is no gate in the north of the city, and the city wall is more than three zhang high. It is made of large blocks of ashlar. As the days went by, a seed fell into the crack of the two-zhang high city brick, and a small tree with the thickness of a wrist grew. The tall man had an idea, unloaded the rope he was carrying, and tied his oolong knife with one end of the rope, and threw the knife with the end of the rope over the small tree, and the oolong knife fell back around the trunk.

Gao Jun untied the knife and grabbed two ropes, and he was about to climb up.

Seeing that the charcoal fire was still standing there and looking at him, the tall man came back and thought about it, cut off a piece of underwear with a knife, cut off his index finger and wrote on it, "I have entered the city, follow the plan" eight words, tied the corners of the cloth to the side of the charcoal fire cage, and patted its neck. The charcoal fire is human, as if he knows the master's intentions, he reluctantly glanced at the tall man, turned around and ran into the bushes the same way.

Gao Jun carried the oolong knife on his back, grabbed the rope with both arms, stepped on the gap in the city bricks under his feet, and reached a height of two zhang without much effort. He threw away the rope, kicked the roots of the tree with both feet, and flew straight up, his hands on the battlements of the wall.

There were only two sergeants guarding a dozen paces away from the road, and they were now looking in one direction into the city with their necks stretched out, and pointing and saying something.

Master Gao was instructed by the two of them, and soon saw the tall Yanqi Palace. The hurried figures in the courtyard were not real, but he saw a large number of soldiers in unfamiliar clothes on the street. From their movements, Gao Jun knew that Master Guo was probably in that compound.

Within a stone's throw of the courtyard, many haystacks and grass houses had traces of burning, but they had all been doused with water, but they still emitted the smoke of water vapor and firewood after the fire was extinguished.

In the other direction, Gao Jun saw an open meadow, with neat stacks of grass, and the doors and windows of the surrounding warehouses were tightly closed. There were a few sergeants in the field who guarded the gates, and they seemed to be unmoved by the distant fighting, and they could see that they were guarding the important place.

Gao Jun was stretching his neck to look into the city, and the two sergeants at the head of the city had already spotted him, and ran over with the knife in his hand and shouted, "Where did the spy come from!" Gao Jun jumped up, pulled out the oolong knife and "poof, poof" as a result, and went straight to the pasture along the horse road. Someone found him from a long distance, and in the other party's shouts of "stop", the tall man rushed in with a knife.

These people have never seen such a desperate person, the person who stopped him in front of him fell in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye, and threw the barrel of the gun and the tip of the knife cut in two out of the distance. The rest of the people left Gao Jun behind, still chasing closely. The tall man is not entangled, his purpose is to set fire. Soon rushed to a pile of grass and set the grass on fire. As soon as the guards saw the smoke, some of them continued to wave their weapons to catch Gao Jun, while the other part immediately separated and ran from a barn with buckets and basins.

The tall man was afraid that they would extinguish the fire, so he did not leave after lighting the fire, and cut down a few who rushed to the front to prevent them from approaching, and only ran to the next stack of grass when the fire was big.

In this way, under the siege and interception of everyone, Gao Daren set fire to more than 30 stacks of firewood and grass one by one, lit more than 10 stacks of firewood, and cut down more than 30 people who were chasing closely along the way, and only then did those people lead the reinforcements sent by Luo Zhao to rush into the grassland.

However, by this time, the wind blowing from the valley to the north had spread the fire indefinitely.

The smoke in Yanqi City soon billowed out, and the grass ash and fire chips that were still burning were swept into the air by a strong heat current, and the sudden violent north wind drifted through half of the city, rekindling the houses and haystacks near and far, and the Yanqi soldiers who were guarding the southern city wall were also quickly wrapped in the billowing smoke and coughed, and they turned around one after another to see the terrifying scene in the city.

In a short time, the three waterwheels with large buckets of water drove from the streets of the city to the south gate at a rapid pace, and the sergeant who drove the cart still kept waving his whip and whipping the horses that drove them, thinking that they were not running fast.

The carriage was still some distance from the south gate, so they pulled their necks on the waterwheel and shouted, "Open the door!" The prime minister has an order, go out of the city to draw water-"

There was no need to check the formalities, someone hurriedly opened the city gate, and the carriage rushed out like a gust of wind. (To be continued.) )
