Li Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed: "You two are suffocated, right?" Now it's time to speak. ”

"Lantian King, what are those auxiliaries bringing out? Why did the Khitan camp catch fire? This fire seems to be a little strange? Wang Haibin asked a series of questions.

Li Tao saw that Wang Haibin was so impatient, so he slowly explained to him: "The auxiliary soldiers brought out the trebuchet specially designed by me, this trebuchet is small and has a long projection distance, and can be disassembled and assembled, they were assembling the trebuchet on the spot just now. ”

Xue Ne's heart moved: "Could it be that the king of Lantian threw combustibles such as firewood and oil into the Khitan camp with a trebuchet, which ignited the fire?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is half right, I threw the combustible material into the Khitan camp with a trebuchet, but it was not firewood and oil."

"Not firewood anointing oil? What is that? ”

"It's fire oil!"

"Fierce fire oil?"

Li Tao explained with a smile: "That's right, it's fierce fire oil. Fierce fire oil was called stone paint in ancient times, and it was also called stone grease water", the Eastern Han Dynasty Bangu wrote "Han Shu? The Geographical Chronicle reads, 'Gaonu County has water that can be burned'. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty written by Fan Ye of the Southern Dynasty? The "Chronicles of the County" also wrote, "There is a mountain in the south of Yanshou County, and the spring water comes out of the stone, which is as big as that, and the burning is extremely bright, and it is not edible." The people of the county call it stone paint', and the people of Gaonu County often use fierce fire oil as lighting oil. It is mostly based on firewood, anointing oil, etc., which is a primary means of arson. The power of fierce fire oil is much greater, everyone in China is erosive, water cannot be extinguished, the lethality is greater, and it is more suitable for fire attack. This time, I specially brought 5,000 catties of fierce fire oil and put them into a clay pot. Bonfires were lit everywhere in the Khitan camp. I used a trebuchet to throw the crockpot filled with the fierce fire oil into the Khitan camp, the clay pot was easy to break, and the fierce fire oil ignited when it caught fire. Thereupon. That's it now. ”

Li Tao said very carefully, how could Xue Ne and Wang Haibin not understand.

Wang Haibin sighed and said, "Could it be that after King Lantian touched the camp yesterday, he thought that today's Khitan camp would prevent our army from touching the camp and lighting a bonfire?" ”

Li Tao glanced at Wang Haibin and said, "You treat me as an immortal?" Until sunset, I wasn't sure if they would retreat overnight. If they do retreat, my fierce oil will be useless. It wasn't until they lit the bonfire that I was relieved. As long as they don't retreat, it's the same with or without a campfire. They lit a bonfire. It saves me the need to set fires. ”

Xue Ne smiled and said, "I understand, what you mean by attacking openly and honestly King Lantian is taking advantage of this opportunity to attack the other party, right?" ”

"Not yet. We'll have to wait! Li Tao said calmly.

"Why is that?"

"It's true that this fierce fire oil is powerful, but it doesn't matter if you are an enemy or not, the cavalry will impact, shouldn't you set yourself on fire?"

Xue Ne nodded.

"Now the Khitan camp is in chaos. But it's not messy yet! "Speaking of which. Li Tao said mysteriously: "Besides, we have to give them a little time!" ”

"What time do you give them?"

"Nature is time to escape! Only if they escape will we have a chance, and my ambush will be effective. ”

"What? Do you still have ambushes? Xue Ne felt a little incredible.

Wang Haibin said on the side: "Are they those people who didn't come back after touching the camp last night?" ”

"Exactly!" Li Tao did not hide it.

"King Lantian, you are really scheming!" Xue Ne couldn't help but be unconvinced.

Li Tao stopped talking, he looked at the fire in the Khitan camp, and muttered to himself, "It's time to attack." ”

Li Tao's words just fell. I heard that there were war horses rushing out of the car array, and the Luzhou cavalry was dispatched. The Luzhou cavalry changed its previous calmness. Shouting loudly and rushing to the Khitan camp.

Xue Ne asked with a smile: "King Lantian made such a big move, did he force the enemy chief to flee in a hurry?" ”

Li Tao replied, "Okay, it's time for us to go back to the camp?" ”

"Don't wait here, what are you going to do back to the camp?" Xue Ne asked curiously.

"Naturally, I went back to sleep, and only after sleeping did I have the spirit to meet with the enemy chief at dawn!"

With that, Li Tao turned around and walked towards the car formation.

Xue Ne and Wang Haibin looked at each other, and Wang Haibin asked Xue Ne with a wry smile: "Governor, do you think King Lantian can really sleep?" ”

"God knows!" Xue Ne shook his head and walked towards the barracks.

……

King Lantian really slept in the big tent until dawn regardless of it, and the poor elderly Xue Ne and the injured Wang Haibin couldn't sleep, so they had to wait for news outside Li Tao's tent.

When the sun was rising, Li Tao finally came out of the tent, stretched his waist, and saw Xue Ne and Wang Haibin standing outside the tent, he asked with a smile: "The two of you are really early enough!" ”

Xue Ne smiled bitterly: "At this time, I'm afraid only you can sleep with King Lantian." ”

"Don't worry, it's useless to be anxious, after I rinse my mouth, let's go to breakfast together."

As soon as the three of them sat down, a Luzhou regiment practitioner came into the tent and whispered a few words to Li Tao.

Li Tao nodded, continued to eat, and the group teacher turned around and went out.

Xue Ne and Wang Haibin still had the heart to eat, and looked at Li Tao with blank eyes. Li Tao was like no one else, still chewing and swallowing slowly unhurriedly.

Finally, when Li Tao finished eating, Xue Ne asked, "King Lantian, how is the situation?" ”

Li Tao got up and said, "Go!" ”

"Where?" Wang Haibin asked stupidly.

"Don't you want to meet the Khitan and Xi chieftains?"

As he spoke, Li Tao had already walked out of the big tent.

……

Li Weihuo had always wanted to know why Tang Jun's car formation was so powerful, and now he finally entered the car formation and witnessed it with his own eyes at close range. It's a pity that he didn't attack the car formation, but was tied in as a prisoner, and he was tied up with his brother Li Dayu.

Last night, in order to guard against the Tang army's touching camp, Li Shihuo did not hesitate to light a bonfire in the entire camp, but who knew that the problem appeared on this bonfire. After the third watch, the bonfire actually ignited the entire camp, and it could not be extinguished. The fire not only burned the entire battalion, but also killed and burned almost a thousand people. Just when Li was puzzled and how the fire was ignited, the Tang cavalry launched an attack. At the time of such chaos, Li Shuhuo knew that he would definitely not be able to resist, so without saying a word, he and Li Dayu took a few guards and rode their horses all the way in the direction of Nantai Valley.

Taking advantage of the darkness, as soon as Li was inactive, Li Dayu and several attendants arrived at the valley mouth, they were inexplicably thrown to the ground with people and horses. Li Yanhuo, who was smashed, had just barely stood up, and was knocked out by a heavy blow to the back of his neck. (To be continued......)
