Fire Bull Array, in fact, Fire Bull has it, but it is not the whole content.

Through the blazing night, through the happy scene of the Qi army under the command of Tian Dan going out of the city**, wantonly slashing the enemy's head with a vengeful blade, through the embarrassed appearance of the Yong general's cavalry and losing his armor, and even through the sigh of Le Yi, who had already returned home from his dismissal thousands of miles away.

Later people can always sigh countless times, lament the horror of rumors, lament Tiandan's lack of moral scheming, lament the magic of resurrection, but ignore one thing: the people's heart.

If there is no people's heart, how can two dilapidated small cities stand for months without falling, if there is no people's heart, that ** night, how can the people of Qi ** fight in anger, if there is no people's heart, this picture scroll of death and afterlife is bound to lose the soil of birth.

Tian Dan is a smart man, he may not be an excellent creator, in the days after the restoration of the country, he presided over the great politics of the Qi State, he really did not have many effective achievements, but in the face of this war, he was an excellent guide, as if he was an experienced water conservancy engineer, the spring water hidden in the hearts of the people, led into a huge wave that erupted.

The Su father and son of the Song Dynasty shouted angrily after a thousand years: "The destruction of the Six Kingdoms is not good for non-soldiers, the war is not good, and the disadvantage is to bribe Qin." "The words of the great writer are only half right, although it is absurd to bribe Qin, but it is not the whole content, and the later Qin Shi Huang swept **, which once created the glory of Tiandan, and the two small cities played the white flag without letting go. The Great Wall in Saibei collapsed, and labor could be mobilized to repair it, and the embankment in the hearts of the people of a country collapsed, but it was useless in any way.

If we had understood this truth, many of the sufferings of our nation could have been avoided after 5,000 years.

There are really a lot of blockbusters in the Warring States Period, Shang Ying changed the law to strengthen Qin, Sun Bin Ma Lingdao took revenge, Su Zhang Lian was horizontal and vertical, Le Yi was weak and Yan broke strong Qi, all of them were big productions and high investment, but a magician named Tian Dan proved that low cost can also create great magic, and in the scarred Jucheng City, he performed the swan song of Little Alto knocking over Big Audi.

Today's Yunzhong County is not much different from the battle of Yanqi Jimo in historical records, the defenders of Yunzhong City can now be said to have gathered all the hearts of the people in Yunzhong City, and Yunzhong City is broken, and tens of thousands of people will either be displaced, or they will become captives and slaves of the Hu people.

Therefore, they did not hesitate to support Li Feng and Zhao Fan, as long as they were a person with a blood surname, they would not be willing to fall into the enemy's captivity, let alone Yan Zhao, who was known for his generosity and tragedy.

Although the people want to, the biggest problem for the defenders of Cloud City is that the bows and arrows in the city are about to run out, and arrows are the best defensive weapons to defend the city, and once the bows and arrows are used up, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the city will be greatly weakened.

"Childe, now there are less than 100,000 arrows left in the city, if you don't want to find a way to get a bow and arrow, I'm afraid it will ......" Above the city, the cold wind was cold, Xu Ying was holding a double halberd, and there was a trace of worry on his face.

After several days of defending the city, the arrows in the city were greatly lost, because the defenders of Yunzhong City mostly used bows and arrows to suppress the attack of the Hu people, and only when the Hu people climbed the head of the city, they would be handed over in a short manner, so the loss of bows and arrows was too great, and the bows and arrows originally stored were almost used up.

Zhao Fan was silent, in the past few days, the Hu people's offensive was extremely fierce, although the defenders of Cloud City resisted stubbornly and caused great losses to the enemy, however, for some reason, the Hu people were not only not intimidated by the strong strength of Cloud City, but became more and more fierce, causing great pressure on Cloud City.

Xu Jia beside him also looked distressed, obviously there was no good way, and immediately, Zhao Fan had no choice but to say.

"In this case, you first take the soldiers to find as many raw materials as possible to make bows and arrows in the city, and instruct the craftsmen to make arrows all night long, and survive these two days first."

Xu Ying shook his head and said, "We have all found out the raw materials for making arrows in the city, and some residents have even demolished their houses and used the beams and other wood of the houses to build us arrows and other weapons to defend the city. Besides, now that the Hu people are on a strong offensive, even if we have the raw materials, we don't have time to build bows and arrows in such a short time. ”

Zhao Fan's handsome face also flashed a touch of melancholy, he nodded, took a deep breath, and a pair of bright black eyes stared at the direction of Hu Ren's tent, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Ying and the others didn't speak, they knew that Zhao Fan was usually used to showing this expression when thinking about difficult problems, and they didn't want to disturb him immediately.

At this moment, it is close to evening, both sides have ceased fighting, the defenders of Cloud City are using earth and other objects to build the city wall that was knocked down by catapults and other siege equipment, after the Hu people's desperate charge and impact, the original strong city wall of Cloud City is already scarred, and there are some small-scale collapses in many places.

During this time, at this time of the day, the defenders of Cloud City were busy building fortifications, because all along, the Hu people did not have the habit of attacking Cloud City at night, and every evening, they must stop fighting and wait until the next morning, and then attack.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fan's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at Xu Jia beside him and said: "In the past few days, the Hu people have not launched a night attack on Cloud City, Xu Jia, do you know what the reason is?" ”

Xu Jia was thinking about where to get the bow and arrow, and when he heard Zhao Fan ask, he said without thinking: "At night is in the middle of the day, when people are most tired, the soldiers' attack accuracy and positive surnames will decline, not to mention, the night is too dark, there is no strong lighting tools, and the commander is not easy to command, so there are no special circumstances, and the army will generally avoid war at night." ”

This is the most basic military common sense, Xu Jia heard his father say it when he was young, and when he heard Zhao Fan suddenly ask this question, there was also a trace of doubt in his eyes, I don't know what Zhao Fan meant when he mentioned this matter.

"In that case, it couldn't be better." Hearing this, Zhao Fan also said with a smile, the haze on his face was swept away, and he seemed to have thought of a good way, and said to himself: "During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from a grass boat, so I, Zhao Fan, can also stage a straw man borrowing arrows!" ”

For soldiers in ancient times, it was not suitable for night battles, in fact, Zhao Fan also knew something about it, which had a lot to do with night blindness.

The history of night blindness is not recorded in the history books at that time, there is no night blindness at that time, the percentage of night blindness in ancient people, Zhao Fan believes that if we talk about the army, there is a conservative estimate of seventy or eighty percent, after all, the diet of ancient soldiers is not good, the intake of vitamin A is small, and the transportation is not developed, the customs of the land of ten miles are different, and the status of the soldiers is not as good as that of the peasants, so no one cares about their diet.

In this way, it is certain that night blindness existed on a large scale, and night blindness also existed on a large scale in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in Zhao Fan's previous life.

Without waiting for Xu Jia and the others to ask, Zhao Fan also leaned into the ears of a few people and whispered to them about his plan.

Hearing this, Xu Ying, Xu Jia and the others also gave Zhao Fan a thumbs up after being surprised for a moment, and their expressions at this moment looked much more relaxed than at the beginning.

Immediately, Zhao Fan and others also hurried down from the city, and instructed the soldiers in the city to look for straw everywhere and weave it into a scarecrow. At this time, Li Feng also followed Zhao Fan's advice, and according to Zhao Fan's request, he led everyone to find thousands of armor and uniforms in the barracks.

The soldiers didn't understand why Zhao Fan ordered to make so many useless scarecrows, but because they had always strictly followed the general's order, although they had doubts in their hearts, they still completed Zhao Fan's order to the letter.

Since it is winter, there are still many wheat straw and other things left over from autumn in the city of Cloudsdale, and it is more than enough to gather all these things in the whole city to make thousands of scarecrows.

After a busy hour or so, thousands of scarecrows have been completed with the hard work of the soldiers. At the same time, darkness descended, and a light moon hung over the night sky, giving the night a touch of mystery.

The night breeze was blowing, there was silence inside and outside Cloud City, after several days of fighting, both the defenders of Cloud City and the Hu soldiers were extremely tired, so except for the defenders on both sides, most of the people had fallen asleep.

At this time, Zhao Fan came to the city with a division of soldiers and replaced all the soldiers who were on duty, and the thousands of scarecrows made in the evening were also moved up by Zhao Fan and others.

"Is this possible?" Li Feng always had a trace of doubt in his heart.

Because it was the first time he had heard of this method of borrowing arrows from the enemy, he inevitably had a trace of doubt in his heart, if it wasn't for his trust in Zhao Fan, and the former did have some truth, he felt that he would not put the hope of getting arrows on the straw man.

Zhao Fan was commanding the generals to tie the straw man's neck with a long rope, and when he heard this, he also said with a smile: "Don't worry about the county guard, the day before yesterday, Xu Jia proposed to attack the Hu army at night, and sent three brigades of soldiers to fall quietly from the city, but they were discovered by those Hu people, they may not be suitable for night fighting, so they did not send a large army to meet the battle, but fired arrows at the city in the distance, so I think this method should be possible." ”

It was precisely because of this experience that Zhao Fan was so relieved, he was completely sure that at night, the Hu people would not attack, and they would not hand over the troops in a short manner, so the way he thought was feasible.

Seeing Zhao Fan's firm tone, Li Feng had no choice but to nod, compared to Li Feng's suspicions, Xu Jia was quite relieved, he was directing the sergeants to prepare to beat the drum and blow the horn, looking at Hu Ren's big tent, there was a playful smile in his eyes.

Zhao Fan was also smiling, at this time, it was already late at night, and it was dark for thousands of miles, only the two positions of the head of Cloud City and the Hu people's tent had a faint firelight, and this firelight was completely insignificant in this dark night.

"Alright, ready!" After preparing everything, Zhao Fan also shouted coldly.

Hearing this, the soldiers at the head of the city also each held a scarecrow, held their chests, held the rope tightly in their hands, bowed their heads and squatted under the city wall, making a gesture ready to throw.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhao Fan also ordered: "Beat the drum and blow the horn!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

The whimpering sound of the horn sounded abruptly in the silent night, cutting through the silence in the darkness in vain, and the sound of the horn echoed within a radius of several miles of Cloud City, like the roar of a prehistoric giant beast before it became angry, extremely piercing from the ears of the Hu people in the distance.

The sound of horns and drums rang out together, and there was a sudden twitching in the big tent of Hu, Zhang Wu was sleeping in the big tent at this time, and when he heard the sound of the horn, he immediately got up from the couch in a little panic, he only said that it was the defenders of Cloud City who launched a night attack, and immediately didn't think too much, put on his coat, and ran out of the big tent directly.

"What's going on?" Zhang Wu walked quickly to the patrolling guards, and said with a gloomy face.

At this time, most of the soldiers in the Hu tent had already woken up, and as soldiers, they were particularly sensitive to the sound of the horn, and after a moment of horror, they also carried their respective weapons and escaped from the tent.

A patrol soldier who was closely watching the direction of Cloud City also said, "Lord Qiqi Zuo Xianwang, it should be those Zhao people from Cloud City, launching a night attack, what should we do now?" ”

Although the night was hazy, these patrols could still vaguely see a large number of soldiers of Cloudsdale suddenly appearing from the head of Cloudsdale, and the number was as many as thousands.

There was a touch of anger on Zhang Wu's face, he didn't expect Zhao Fan and the others to take the initiative to attack, and immediately walked on a high ground, looking in the direction of Cloud City, in the dark, he could only vaguely see that there were about thousands of Cloud City soldiers, who were going down the city wall.

Apparently, this is the soldier of Cloudsdale preparing to launch an attack.

"These Zhao people, I really don't know what to do, pass the order down, let all the soldiers prepare bows and arrows, and shoot towards Yunzhong City." A sneer flashed at the corner of Zhang Wu's mouth, and the soldiers of Cloud City launched a surprise attack the day before yesterday, but he happened to be discovered at that time, and immediately ordered to shoot, and sure enough, it hit about hundreds of soldiers in Cloud City.

Unexpectedly, this time, they dared to launch an attack on their side at night.

"Lord Zuo Xian, why don't you wait for them to come to our military camp and launch an attack, in this case, you can also wipe them out?" At this time, Yan Zha also walked out of the big tent, and when he heard Zhang Wu's order, he was also puzzled.

Zhang Wu sneered and said, "Zhao Fan's kid is scheming, in such a dark night, they have nothing to do to attack, there must be fraud, we just need to release arrows from a distance." What's more, the night is too thick now, and when they come close to us and launch an attack, it is easy to hurt their own people in the dark. ”

Hearing this, Yan Zha also nodded.

Zhang Wu's order was soon passed to the generals at all levels, and immediately, a large number of Hu soldiers also carried bows and arrows in the direction of the head of the city in the clouds, and shot violently, and the arrows were like flying locusts, densely piercing into the walls of the city in the clouds.

But they didn't know that at this moment, on the walls of Cloud City, the bodies of those who they mistakenly thought were soldiers of Cloud City were actually all hanging scarecrows, these scarecrows were wearing military uniforms and hanging on the city wall, and from a distance, they really looked like living people.

Zhao Fan and the others chopped through the arrows, and saw the dense wolf's tooth arrows shooting into the scarecrow on the city wall, and the smile on their faces also became more and more intense.

"Go on with your trumpets and trumpets, and at regular intervals until dawn." Seeing the successful implementation of his plan, Zhao Fan was also in a good mood, and immediately ordered the defenders in the city, and then said to Li Feng: "The county guard just go back and rest, and wait until tomorrow, I think the arrows are almost enough." ”

Li Feng also admired Zhao Fan very much at this moment, and he could finally rest assured when he saw so many wolf teeth and arrows piercing the scarecrow.

Immediately, after Li Feng also ordered the defenders in the city to pay attention to vigilance, he also returned to the county guard's mansion, looking at his back, Zhao Fan also smiled slightly, this time he was also very happy to be able to borrow arrows smoothly.

The whole night, in the sound of the horn that sounded from time to time, whenever the horn sounded in Cloud City, the Hu people were like Cloud City throwing bows and arrows, and waited until the fourth or fifth watch, and then Zhao Fan ordered to stop.

This is also because every scarecrow is already full of bows and arrows, and Zhao Fan doesn't want the soldiers to be too tired, so he ordered to stop this kind of harassing attack.

The sky was pale, Zhang Wu's eyes were bloodshot and he got up from the big tent, last night the horn of Cloud City kept ringing, making him almost collapse, and the battle of Lian Yu was extremely stressful on their spirit, and the defenders of Cloud City kept blowing the horn while they were sleeping, which made Zhang Wu extremely irritable, but he had been suppressing it and not breaking out.

Like Zhang Wu, all the Hu soldiers were sleepy-eyed, and most of them didn't sleep well because of last night's movements, and the sound coming from there was still a very sensitive horn sound, which made them even more miserable.

"Oh my God, come and see, yesterday we thought it was the figure of those Zhao people, but they were all scarecrows!" A cry of surprise suddenly resounded in the Hu people's tent, and at this moment the sky was bright, and they could see very clearly that the figure they mistakenly thought was Zhao Ren yesterday, and it turned out to be a scarecrow.

Moreover, those scarecrows were covered with bows and arrows, apparently they had shot them last night.

Zhang Wu also discovered this scene under the exclamation of everyone, and immediately, his face suddenly turned iron-blue, and a trace of anger that could not be concealed rose, "Okay! Okay, you Zhao Fan, you can think of such a ghost idea to deal with me! ”

Zhang Wu clenched his fists, and his face was hideous and terrifying.

At this moment, a discordant shout came from the head of Cloud City, "Haha, thank you for the generosity of the Hu warriors, I am really grateful for contributing so many bows and arrows to my Da Zhao!" ”

"Poof!"

Hearing this laughter full of jokes, Zhang Wu's face changed in vain, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of Zhang Wu's mouth without warning, and he was so angry that he vomited blood, "Zhao Fan thief, this king and you are incompatible!" (To be continued.) )
