Chapter 803 Serial Scheme
What Xu You thought of was nothing more than the word 'fire attack'.
After sending troops, he has been thinking about how to design to break the enemy, and fire attack is the one he has spent the most energy on studying. However, when it comes to this method of warfare, it is always very simple in the book, but it is very difficult to operate in practice, and the time and place are indispensable, and if the enemy does not cooperate, it will still not work.
The generals above the level, the choice of the camp site, how to guard in the camp are very orderly, water and fire are ruthless, these two things are the top priority of the camp defense, and if you want to use fire attack to deal with Yu Ban, who is very talented in camping, it is impossible to find a place to start.
Xu You also thought about whether he could lead the enemy to a place where it was easy to set fire and it was difficult to escape. But even if he searched most of Liaoxi, he didn't find this kind of place, and if he did, he didn't have the possibility of introducing the Han army.
What kind of narrow valleys, woods, the Han army left the road and didn't go, what did you have to drill into that kind of place? Even if there is a bait or something, but the Han general is not stupid, who will be like a wild boar, and drill into it wherever he catches?
It was precisely because he had thought hard for a long time, but he never knew what to do, so the scene in front of him was particularly inspiring to him.
Isn't this the method of fire attack that he thinks about day and night, and is looking for so hard?
If all the granaries like hills are full of fire-starters......
If those bulging bags of rice, in addition to the corn that hides people's ears, there is also saltpeter sulfur......
If there are other mechanisms in the dark camp, then ......
His mind was racing, and Xu Yu's heart was also instantly cold, he opened his mouth and shouted at the maximum volume, 'It's a trick!' Trying to wake up the horsemen who were caught in the enemy's trap and didn't know it, but no one paid any attention to him.
Su Fuyan and the others looked down on him, and after the hard battle, the excitement from counting the spoils of war made them have no time to pay attention to Xu You. Even if he heard it, he probably would only laugh at it, and said in his heart: This ghost scholar who can only talk on paper is talking loudly and alarmist again.
But this time, Xu You's premonition really worked.
When the Han army was defeated and fled, a cluster in the east and a cluster in the west lit a lot of fires, but Hu Qi followed up quickly, and most of them were successfully extinguished, and only a small number of small fires were temporarily skipped, but they could not become a big harm. It wasn't until the Hu riders, under Yan Rou's reminder, hurried up and began to carry grain and grass that they found that there was still fire.
I don't know how these granaries were piled up, but there was a gap in the middle, and the flames burned all the way in, until the Hu soldiers moved the grain bags on them to find out.
"There are so many tricks for Han dogs to set fires, and they actually put the fire in the granary, if we sleep in this village for one night, maybe they will really let them burn the grain." A stout Hu soldier carried a grain bag in one hand and sneered. It has attracted the support of many people.
"Those who do not cherish things will be punished sooner or later." There are also old people who carry grain and still have words in their mouths.
No matter how he acted, no one was in a hurry to extinguish the flame, this flame was too small to be a problem at all, it was rare to catch the handle of the Han army, how could it be lost so quickly?
At this moment, the faint flame suddenly jumped forward as if unwilling to be lonely—the scene of the fire accelerating was indeed like a sudden leap.
Without waiting for Hu Bing to release any more opinions, the bean-like flame suddenly dimmed, and after a moment of silence, it suddenly bloomed with a hundred, thousand, and ten thousand times brightness before......
At this moment, they couldn't see anything.
From Xu You's point of view, it was like a flower composed of light and heat suddenly blooming in the dark!
More than one, almost all the granaries have undergone the same mutation, nearly a hundred huge fireworks suddenly lit up, the scene of explosion, it is difficult to describe in words, but it is definitely spectacular and gorgeous.
The fire trees and silver flowers never sleep, and the night sky is instantly illuminated.
However, under this beautiful splendor, it brings endless horror.
The moment the fire tree bloomed, the Hu soldiers who gathered around the granary suffered first. The eyes could not adapt to the change from extremely dark to extremely bright, as if they were suddenly blind, and then they were hit hard in front of them, as if they were hit by an invisible giant's fist, and their bodies flew out directly!
"Boom!" The roar of the fire was just the beginning, the power of the explosion was limited, except for those closest to them, the others were only slightly shocked, not enough to be fatal, but that didn't mean they had escaped.
After the explosion, sparks flew all over the sky, as if a goose feather snow had suddenly fallen, and the whole world was filled with bright lights. The sparks fluttered down, like a swarm of foraging fireflies, landing on Hu Bing's head, body, and the food bag he carried on his shoulder.
"Whew!" The sparks that fall on the head and face burn people at most, but the ones that fall on the grain bags are quite deadly, and those grain bags don't know what they contain, as soon as they get on the sparks, they will burn, and in the blink of an eye, they will become a big fire.
The incident happened suddenly, most of the Hu soldiers didn't know what was going on at all, and under the extreme shock, their reactions were much slower than usual, and they were caught in the fire before they could throw down the food bag, and the whole person became a fire man.
All this happened very quickly, and from Xu You's point of view, he didn't notice these details at all, he just saw the fire tree and silver flowers bloom, and then, like dandelions, swept the entire camp into the flames of hell.
"Fire! The fire is burning! ”
"Help!"
"Ah Da, Ah Niang......"
Exclamations, screams, and cries of fathers and mothers came and went, but what remained constant was the burning sound of the flames of 'Ziz'.
Ignoring this human tragedy, the sea breeze swept across the vast expanse of the sea, and blew strongly into the camp, and the wind fueled the fire, and the fire soared again, and at once swept all three walls into the flames, turning the entire camp into a completely sealed oven.
"Fight the fire, put out the fire!" Although Hu Bing was very anxious to carry grain and grass, the area of the camp was limited after all, and only about half of the people rushed into the camp, and the people outside did not affect the fire. Xu You shouted at these people and ordered them to put out the fire and save people.
The Qingzhou Army has obviously made some arrangements, this fire started very quickly, and it was also very weird, there were many people who were burned to death on the spot, or there were many people who were not saved, but it takes time for the fire to spread after all, and there is no need to extinguish all the fires, as long as a few passages are opened, many people can escape.
This is the seaside, there is water, there is sand, and it is not difficult to extinguish fires.
There were not many people who responded to Xu You's order, and many people were so frightened that they trembled, begging for the blessing of the Immortal Heaven, and more people were already looking around, looking for a way to escape. Only those whose relatives were trapped in the fire obeyed Xu You's instructions, leaned over to fetch sand, ran to the beach to get water, and extinguished the fire and saved people.
Seeing that a passage was gradually taking shape and seeing the scene in the fire, Xu You was a little relieved, the loss was not too great, as long as the fire extinguishing measures were actively taken, two or three thousand people should still be saved.
It's a pity that what he thought of, the enemy didn't ignore either.
A Hu soldier standing opposite Xu You just straightened up, ready to lift a large handful of sea sand in his leather coat to the wall, but he didn't know what he saw, he was just frozen there, dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost.
"At this fatal moment, what else is there to be in a daze? Is there anything more important than fighting fires? Xu You scolded, he took off his fur and sand to put out the fire, but a small soldier was lazy in front of him, how could this be done?
"Sir...... Look, look......" The Hu soldier's expression was sluggish, and his voice dragged on for a long time. Xu You looked back in disbelief, his heart suddenly tightened, and as soon as his hand loosened, all the sand in his fur fell on his boots.
I saw countless fires lit up on the dark sea!
Although it was difficult to accurately distinguish the distance in the thick darkness, Xu You clearly felt that those firelights were slowly approaching!
Xu You knew that the slow speed was probably an illusion, because he was well-informed and knew what those fires represented, it was a ship, hundreds of sea ships! The two Han ships that had just escaped, after fleeing far away, became such a point of light.
Since the beginning of the war, he has been pondering how to defeat the strong with the weak, and ambushes and fire attacks are his key research directions. Now, the enemy taught him a very vivid lesson, first luring the enemy, setting fire, and then ambushing, and today, he is considered a complete defeat!
"It's over, it's all over!" Xu Yu beat his chest, but he was helpless. The soldiers who were still actively fighting the fire just now had already appeared, and those who were already hesitant slipped away at the first time.
The speed of the boat on the sea seems to be slow, but it is actually very fast, just now the two ships from the shore to only see the point of light, that is, the time of half a pillar of incense, obviously the Han army ambushed all around, floating to the sea, will it take longer?
There were more and more deserters, and I could already vaguely hear the shouts of killing coming from the sea, and in addition to shouting and killing, the ships at the front also fired rockets.
A spark suddenly rose and drew a perfect parabola in the air, falling like a meteor, some of which landed on the beach, and the other part of which landed on the camp that had turned into a sea of fire, making it even worse for Hu Bing, who had to struggle on the lifeline.
There are no more people left around Xu You, those who rushed out of the fire at the risk of death, they also rolled on the ground a few times, and after extinguishing the fire, they joined the ranks of the fleeing without looking back, no one paid attention to Xu You standing in the dark, even if he noticed, there was nothing to say, at this moment, it was important for him to escape, who cares if you are a gentleman, how famous are you?
But Xu Yu laughed, laughing miserably, full of despair and self-deprecation, as harsh and ugly as a night owl.
In the end, he fell for the trick again, those boats on the sea were completely bluffing, except for the dozen or so at the beginning, the rest was probably a lantern lit on a small fishing boat, right?
This is a bluff and a ploy!
