In the fifty-third round, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and was crowned the third king, and Nan Ye sent troops into Xiliang (12
The woods where Nanye felled were in the south of Jicheng, and the place Jiang Xu chose to set fire was the northwest corner of this woods, just so that the fire could burn more vigorously by the wind. Considering that setting fire at night would make the Jiaozhou army find out too early, Jiang Xu deliberately waited until dawn to set the fire. In this way, the fire will not be so obvious, and when the Jiaozhou army sees the smoke and dust in the camp, the fire has already burned and is difficult to extinguish.
In fires, inhaling thick smoke can cause fainting or suffocation, so many people who die in fires are poisoned before they are burned to death. Jia Xu suggested that Nan Ye move the camp for the same reason, even if the fire could not reach the camp, the smoke and poisonous gas would still drift into the camp. As for extinguishing fires, Jia Xu never thought that even modern forest fires would not be easy to extinguish, let alone in ancient times. Moreover, Xiliang does not have much water to extinguish the fire.
Jia Xu's suggestion was supported by many people, but some people also felt pity. Ma Chao said: "Once the forest is burned, will it be difficult for us to build a thunderbolt car?" And how to attack the city? ”
Pang Tong said: "The fire has started, it is difficult to extinguish, I will move the camp for the time being, and then think of another method." ”
Nan Ye knew that forest fires were difficult to extinguish even in modern times, and the best way was to cut out firebreaks and control combustibles. This way, even if you can't save the entire forest, as long as you save half of it, the Thunderbolt can still be made. So Nan Ye said: "At this time, the fire has just started, and there is still a plan to be done." We can go out with our whole army and quickly cut down a tree in a place where there is no fire, and the fire will be extinguished when there is nothing to burn here. With that, he took a pen and paper and drew a schematic diagram of the firebreak.
When all the generals heard this, Nan Ye's plan was not complicated, but it was very feasible. Pang Tong exclaimed: "The national teacher is really wonderful, this plan is very wonderful!" So I gathered my soldiers and went into the forest to cut down trees and stop the fire. ”
Nan Ye also instructed the soldiers to wet their clothes and cover their mouths and noses with a damp cloth to prevent smoke and dust from entering their bodies. Although these fire prevention knowledge is simple, it was not popular in ancient times, and everyone who listened to it was stunned and felt that what Guanghua Guoshi said was very reasonable.
The generals were ordered to leave, and the entire Jiaozhou army camp became lively. In addition to leaving some people to guard against a sneak attack by someone in the city, the rest of the tens of thousands of people went to the forest to cut down trees to fight the fire, and Nan Ye was no exception.
When Nan Ye arrived in the forest, he summoned the golden corpse of the white elephant, and summoned the four-wheeled vehicle transformed by Huang Yueying and placed it on top of the white elephant to act as an elephant. When Nan Ye used the white elephant card, he found that the weevil elephant saddle could be stuck with the white elephant, but if he wanted to install a huge elephant on top of the white elephant, he could not get it carded. This seems to be due to the fact that the weevils are assumed to be one with the white elephant when they are carded, and the elephant is not considered part of the white elephant. It is precisely because of this that Nan Ye asked Huang Yueying to transform the four-wheeled vehicle as a separate card for elephants, which is convenient to carry and can be used for protection.
The appearance of the white elephant caused an exclamation among the Jiaozhou soldiers, many of whom saw this giant beast wearing blood-colored heavy armor for the first time. But when they saw Nan Ye sitting in the middle of the elephant, their exclamations turned into cheers. Nan Ye is not only the commander of the Jiaozhou Army, but also the spiritual leader of the Jiaozhou Army. No matter how bizarre Nan Ye does, the Jiaozhou Army can accept it all. At this time, the white elephant has been regarded as a unique mount of the Guanghua National Teacher by many soldiers. Some people even argue that Nan Ye is a fairy descending to earth, and the white elephant is a fairy mountain beast.
Nan Ye didn't care about what the soldiers were talking about at this time, because every second wasted would spread and push further. When Nan Ye rode on the white elephant, he immediately activated the soul control skill and controlled the white elephant to rush towards the forest.
Many Jiaozhou soldiers followed the white elephant to see the majesty of this giant beast, and the earth seemed to tremble under the feet of the white elephant, making a clanging sound. When everyone came to the middle of the mountain forest and began to cut down trees, the role of the white elephant was even more amazing. As long as the trunk is rolled, the waist-thick tree will be uprooted. After the big tree that the two of them hugged was cut down by everyone, Nan Ye controlled the white elephant to drag the tree away, which was surprisingly efficient.
The power of the white elephant is only one aspect that amazes everyone, but what is even more surprising is the intelligence and dexterity of the white elephant. The giant axe used by the vulture bone before could not be carded because it was not a treasure weapon, so it had been placed in the baggage cart in case of emergency, and this time it was necessary to cut down the wood, so Nan Ye ordered someone to bring it. This giant axe weighed a hundred catties, and no one could use it except for the vultures. At first, everyone wondered why Nan Ye wanted to bring a giant axe, but at this time, Nan Ye controlled the white elephant to start cutting down trees with a roll of the axe handle with his nose, and a few axes could cut down a big tree. The generals didn't know that the white elephant was controlled by Nan Ye, but they only thought that the white elephant was a psychic fairy beast, and they would even use axe tools.
Under the leadership of Nan Ye, the Jiaozhou soldiers were extremely efficient, and soon opened up a firebreak in the forest. Then all we have to do is to widen the firebreak as much as possible to ensure that it can play its due role.
Just when Nan Ye led the troops to cut wood, the fire did not stop spreading. In winter, the weather in Japan is cold and irritable, and the northwest wind rises, and the fire takes advantage of the wind to quickly turn large areas of forest into fly ash. The heat wave was already blowing in the wind, making the soldiers who were cutting trees sweat.
"Quick! Fast! It's already burned! Yang Xiong could already see the light of the fire in the woods to the west, and kept urging the soldiers. Several other generals were equally anxious, knowing that if the firebreak was not widened quickly, the fire would still cover the entire forest.
Since the fire spread from west to east, the fire zone runs north-south. For the sake of safety, Nan Ye ordered the soldiers to stand on the firebreak and cut down the trees on the east side to widen it, but at this time, it seemed that it was too late to widen the firebreak from only one side. Nan Ye began to control the white elephant to cut down the trees in the west, and the firelight reflected his cheeks red.
Seeing that Nan Ye didn't care about his safety, all the generals also turned around and cut down the trees on the west side, and the mage's personal guards and the trapping camp also joined the cutting team on the west side.
It is difficult for anyone who has not experienced a forest fire to imagine the rapid spread of fire, and often the people who are fighting the fire are still in safety one moment, and the next moment they are already in a sea of fire and surrounded by fire. Nan Ye still felt that the firelight was flickering in the depths of the dense forest just now, but every time he cut down a few big trees, there were already fires around him. Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, and all the guards were also surrounded by flames.
"National teacher, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late!" Dian Wei was sweating all over his head at this time, and his eyes were red from smoke, but he was still tightly guarding Nan Ye's side.
Due to the fire protection strip opened in advance, everyone was safe in the east for the time being, and there was still a glimmer of life despite being trapped by the fire. Nan Ye looked at the back road and said to everyone: "You wait to go first, and I'll cut down a few more trees." As he spoke, he did not stop controlling the white elephant, and another big tree fell with a bang.
Dian Wei and Zhou Cang said resolutely: "If the national teacher doesn't leave, I won't leave either." With that, he lowered his head and continued to cut wood. Seeing that the commander was like this, all the guards also worked hard to cut down the tree regardless of their safety.
Nan Ye didn't go because he still had a way back, but he didn't expect Dian Wei and the others to risk death to protect themselves, how could Nan Ye not be moved? Nan Ye knew that if he didn't take out his hole cards at this time, everyone would probably be buried in the fire, so he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Fire God!" ”
None of the soldiers knew that Nan Ye was casting skills at this time, and they thought that Guanghua Guoshi was inspiring the fire god to stop the spread of the fire, and they all looked at Nan Ye.
Nan Ye's fire god skill appeared after gathering the four governors of Eastern Wu, not to set fire, but to prevent fire, which has the effect of weakening the surrounding fire, and can make the fire difficult to invade. Nan Ye had tested this skill before and found that this skill could indeed extinguish lights and furnace fires. But Nan Ye didn't dare to put himself in the sea of fire to test the maximum power of this skill, so he didn't try it anymore, and today was the first time he really used this skill.
As soon as the Vulcan skill was released, an invisible energy spread out with Nan Ye as the core. The soldiers could not feel this energy fluctuation, but they could clearly feel that the temperature around them had dropped significantly, and the sky-high fire had weakened as if it had encountered some nemesis, and the small flames burning in some bushes on the ground were extinguished at that time. The closer this phenomenon is to Nanye, the more obvious it becomes, and it is undoubtedly related to Nanye.
"The national teacher is really a god and a man!" Zhang Baiqi couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, expressing the hearts of all the soldiers. When everyone found that the monstrous flames could not help the Guanghua National Master, the worship of Nan Ye in their hearts rose to the extreme, and the morale also rose to the extreme. Everyone followed Nan Ye to cut down the fire, and finally stopped the raging fire in front of them. Half of the mountain forest was saved by Nan Ye.
The whole process of Nan Ye leading everyone to put out the fire fell in the eyes of a general, and this person was Yin Feng. After Yin Feng was captured by Zhao Yun before, he was persuaded by Nan Ye to surrender and also came to fight the fire. Nan Ye has always treated prisoners preferentially, whether they are soldiers or generals, as long as they are willing to surrender, Nan Ye will not kill them, of course, for people like Xu Chu and Xiahoudun who would rather die than surrender, Nan Ye has never been merciful.
Yin Feng's choice to surrender to Nan Ye can be regarded as a last resort, not out of sincerity. Don't look at Nan Ye's strength, but his strength is rarely demonstrated, whether it is territory or soldiers and horses, on the surface, it is not comparable to Cao Cao. Because of this, the generals of Cao Ying did not think that Nan Ye was stronger than Cao Cao, but thought that the Cao family was the first prince in the world. For Cao Ying's generals, following Cao Cao and Cao Pi is far more promising than following Nan Ye. Yin Feng was no exception, he also thought that Nan Ye's strength was inferior to Cao Pi, so he had no choice but to give in temporarily after being defeated and captured, and then wait for the opportunity to return to Cao Ying.
Nan Ye, who can use the control skill to test people's hearts, is not afraid of deception, whether Yin Feng is sincere or false, Nan Ye will know as soon as he tries it. Although Nan Ye knew that Yin Feng was not sincere in submission, but on the surface, Yin Feng had surrendered, and Nan Ye couldn't kill him for no reason, even if he surrendered, he had to show evidence. So Nan Ye temporarily arranged Yin Feng in the army, and secretly ordered the soldiers to be careful, wanting to wait for Yin Feng to reveal his flaws before dealing with it.
