"Hurry up, hurry up, come out and move forward, while it's hot!" Tai Shici covered a piece of linen cloth on his mouth and nose with one hand, and urged loudly outside the herd, because his mouth was covered, and his voice was somewhat indistinct.

"Don't worry, that's it!" Zhou Yi stood in the center of the herd, commanding, although the expression on his face was as calm as ever, there was a rare enthusiasm in the tone of his answer.

Under his command, more than a thousand cavalry were scattered around the horses, in groups of twos and twos, carrying a straw bag in their hands, and the expression on their faces was a little sad. Their target is the horse, the butt of the horse, to be exact, and when they see a good horse pouting their tails, they will cheer and pounce on them, catching the fresh, hot horse manure with unmistakable accuracy.

Several groups of people gathered the results together, made a big dung bag, took a spear on a string, carried it, and quickly ran to Tai Shici's side to recover his life.

"Send forward, send forward, Kong Ming is waiting!" Tai Shici checked the structure of the dung bag, nodded with satisfaction, and pointed in the direction of Taniguchi. The two cavalrymen lifted the horse dung bag and ran in the direction pointed out by Tai Shici, and the figure quickly disappeared among the grass and trees, leaving a strong stench all the way.

Before the smell of horse manure was blown away by the wind and the shadows of the trees were divided, several soldiers with dark faces ran over, shouting as they ran: "General Ziyi, General Ziyi, the lord orders you to speed up the transportation, and the front is almost out of supply!" ”

"Got it!" Tai Shi Ci replied angrily: "But the question is, is this what I want to be able to get up quickly?" Lao Zhou, you are the best at serving livestock, hurry up and think of a way! ”

The laughter came and went, although it was coaxing, but there was no malice in the laughter, it was just rare to see the domineering and domineering General Taishi show his embarrassment.

"Don't just laugh, hurry up, change the war horses that have finished pulling dung to graze, and replace them with a batch of well-fed!" Zhou Yi laughed as he instructed the soldiers to change horses.

Tai Shi Ci grabbed a few heralds who were bent over with a straight smile, and asked loudly, "How is the fight in front?" Does this tactic really work? ”

"Why didn't it work? It's amazing, the effect is top-notch! The grabbed herald gave a proud look on his face and a thumbs up in response.

"General Ziyi, haven't you seen it, the smoke from the mixture of horse manure and poisonous weeds is simply a life-threatening spell! Needless to say, if you don't do a good job of protection, you just need to stand in the smoke for a few breaths, and people will be dizzy immediately! ”

Another herald described the scene ahead in a colorful voice, and his tone was full of schadenfreude: "Those mountain monkeys were alive yesterday, but today they are all over, the valley is full of screams and moans, and standing at the mouth of the valley, it is like being in the Nine Hells." ”

"General Zilong is on standby with two Xianrui, and it seems that it will be launched soon. General Qin led the second team, and General Wuji's third team was also ready. The lord's trick is full of poisonous smoke, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented! As soon as this move came out, the moat changed the way, the thieves were defeated and retreated, and there was no resistance, our army marched forward, and we could take this valley without hurting anyone! ”

The people who came to give the order were all the guards around Wang Yu, all of them were not very old, and they were all very excited to see this lively scene, and they described the battle situation in front of them with their own eyes, making people feel as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

"Huh!" Tai Shi Ci smashed his fist in the palm of his hand, which was called envy and jealousy, "The lord is eccentric, such a refreshing errand was actually handed over to Zilong again, but let me do this dirty work, and say that this is the key to victory, I am really angry!" ”

"General Ziyi, you have wronged the lord, this horse manure is indeed the key to victory! If there were no horse manure, no matter how much poisonous weeds were collected, it would not have been possible to make such a large amount of smoke and cover the entire valley, wouldn't it? ”

The smoke produced when animal manure is burned has a special surname that does not disperse, and the wolf smoke that warns at the border gate is based on this principle. In addition to this, this smoke is poisonous!

It is not as exaggerated as the chemical weapons of later generations, but the smell of the smoke is already very choking, and the poisonous surname in it makes people fall for it silently. By the time I realized that something was wrong, my hands and feet were already weak, and my brain was dizzy, and I didn't have time to save myself.

Besides, Wang Yu's smoke attack is not just horse manure, but also a large number of poisonous weeds - Wang Yu asked people to go up the mountain to collect these things two days ago, what kind of broken intestine grass, five steps down, poisonous songzi and the like, throw it into the fire, and the smoke that comes out is as poisonous as it is.

"How does the lord's heart grow? How can you always come up with such strange tricks? It's simply the legendary seven-trick exquisite heart. It was amazing enough to stick the paper for the armor before, but this time there was a smoke attack, look like this, it's a soldier who wants to surrender without a fight! Tai Shi Ci sighed in admiration.

"And that's not all! General Ziyi, you won't forget, it's summer now, yesterday, the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday, it was a southeast wind! ”

"That's right!" Tai Shi Ci was stunned.

The army has been standing still for the past two days, and it looks like it has to make preparations, but after being reminded by the herald, Tai Shici suddenly has a feeling of being stopped. No wonder the lord arrested Kong Ming for secret discussion again, it turned out that it was not to discuss tactics, but to observe the sky and wait for the wind!

The only and greatest weakness of this smoke attack tactic is the wind. The Qingzhou army is in the north, while the Cao army is in the south, and when the southeast wind is strong, they will only lift stones and shoot themselves in the foot.

As a result, as if God had helped, after the preparations such as feeding the horses, hoarding horse manure, collecting poisonous weeds, and transporting grain and grass were all ready, the direction of the wind changed!

A strong northwest wind blew in the summer! The strong wind sent the smoke into the canyon, because of the danger of the canyon, the smoke could not escape, so it could only go all the way, clearing the way for the Qingzhou soldiers!

Of course, Tai Shi Ci has always believed in the principle of man-made, and he knows very well that this is not some heavenly help, but the master's strategy. It was precisely because of this that he felt an incomparable shock.

This smoke attack strategy is not so incredible, it just pierces a layer of window paper. However, to achieve this tactic, it requires the perfect coordination of many links.

But the time consumed by the master of his own family from the time he encountered obstacles to the time he planned to defeat the enemy was almost negligible. Tai Shi Ci was sure that at the moment when the lord ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, he must have already made a calculation in his heart!

In my heart, this tactic is somewhat unacceptable, because the fuel is horse manure, which has a dirty taste. Historians who are self-conscious may not be interested here. But one thing is undoubted, this battle will become a crucial turning point in this Central Plains war, and it may directly affect the final victory!

"I really want to fight."

A thousand words, and finally a sigh.

In fact, after learning the specific tactics from Wang Yu's mouth, Tai Shici understood why the lord had to arrange it like this. This time in the south, the army is almost all soldiers, and they are all elite veterans who are used to fighting big battles and evil battles, so it is easy for them to be born and die, but it is difficult for them to collect horse manure, and they can't pull it down!

Led by the future with the most courageous name, no one else can raise any objections. Qingzhou cavalry are all well-trained soldiers, even if they are reluctant, they will not be passive and slack off, but the number of active surnames will still affect work efficiency after all.

The key to this battle is not to capture the flag, but the fierce surname and continuous surname of the smoke attack are the focus. If you want to maintain the effect of smoke attack, only fuel is indispensable.

Tai Shi Ci has a straightforward temper, and his prestige in the army can only be said to be ordinary, but his popularity is excellent. Seeing his lonely look, several heralds lowered their voices and whispered in his ear.

"General Ziyi, don't worry. When the lord and the army discussed the battle situation, they said that the smoke attack was very effective, but it was unrealistic to rely on the smoke attack to solve the enemy's army, and there was still a battle after all. Wait patiently, when the lord doesn't rush for fuel, it's time for a general attack. In fact, if you pay attention to it, you will know that the people of the Fire Iron Rider have been waiting for the Chinese army! ”

Tai Shi Ciqi said: "With such a big smoke, can anyone be spared?" ”

"Don't forget, there's also outside Taniguchi. The lord said that if he expected it was not bad, the Cao thief would definitely dispatch the elite to intercept it in the shortest possible time! ”

"I see!" Tai Shi Ci suddenly realized.

After getting the letter, his momentum came up again, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, work hard, open up the canyon in one go, let's herd the horse on the bank of the Yellow River tomorrow, and step on Cao Sun Liu!" ”

"General Ziyi said it well, don't be dirty, the lord is looking at us, and the merit book is waiting for us? Open up the canyon, we are the first achievement! ”

"Work harder, work harder!"

I have to say that Tai Shici's affinity in the army is really good, encouraged by his loud voice, the collection of fuel is faster, even the war horses seem to be infected, and the output rate is greatly enhanced.

With plenty of fuel, Wang Yu simply used the last dozen rafts that were ready to be used for the raid. The raft was piled with horse manure and wet soil underneath, and after it was lit, it was pushed into the river and let it drift downstream.

After all, the valley is too long, and not all places are as closed as the valley mouth, and the speed at which the smoke can move forward is limited, and the use of water to send the smoke all the way to the other end of the valley is the king.

"Zilong ......"

"The last general!" As the first to ascend, Zhao Yun was dressed in light clothes, covering his eyes with a damp cloth under his eyes, and covering a translucent light veil in front of his eyes.

"The mission is clear, right?" Wang Yu made the final confirmation.

"Don't worry, lord!"

"Then go ahead." Wang Yu waved his hand, pointed to the valley mouth that was still shrouded in smoke, and said with a still uneasy admonition: "Remember to change a piece of cloth when you walk for a while, don't force it." ”

"The last general can be saved." Zhao Yun saluted again, turned around and walked to the front of the line, and shouted: "Brothers, come with me!" ”

The eight hundred elite warriors who dismounted and fought on foot shouted in unison, raised their heads to breathe the last breath of fresh air, and strode after the main general, rushing into the ghostly canyon. (To be continued.) )
