Chapter 40: Fire Attack

Qin Daochuan waited for a few days, and sure enough, he didn't see any movement from the Tartars, thinking that it was really as he thought, and that tribe was not taken seriously last time.

After consulting with his colleagues for a few days, he unanimously felt that the tribes close to the Qin army were afraid of such a status.

But if you don't break through this line of defense, you won't be able to touch the base camp of the Tartars, the royal court.

If he doesn't really distinguish the winner from the loser, he will always be trapped here, and he may not be able to withstand the pressure of the court, grain and grass at that time.

At this time, he really felt that the other party might be a master.

How can we remove the obstacles in front of us as soon as possible?

Qin Daochuan thought about the pain, but he didn't come up with a good way.

I feel depressed and difficult to discharge.

In the late autumn night sky of the Northland, the stars are like pearls and emeralds covering the indigo sky, and the moonlight is light.

Qin Daochuan took out the long flute, and a low and tactful flute sound wafted in the night.

In the second half of the night, Qin Dong was pulled out of the bed by Qin Daochuan and asked him to gather people and horses to prepare for the discussion.

When everyone came to Qin Daochuan's military account in a sleepy state, they saw him standing on the map excitedly, holding a wooden stick and constantly gesturing.

As soon as Qin Daochuan saw them coming, he said: "Qin Xi, come on, you are the best at setting fires, help me take a look, if the northwest wind blows, where will the fire burn quickly and accurately?" ”

Qin Xi's eyes widened, he looked at the map, and finally pointed to a few places, and said: "There is a slope here, and it can only be set on fire here, and there is a valley over there, and it is more troublesome to set fire, so it can only be in these three places, and here, here, here... ”

Qin Daochuan waited for him to finish speaking, and said, "Qin Dong, prepare enough fire oil materials before dawn." ”

He said to the deputy general beside him: "Vice General Qin, prepare these groups of manpower, and each group must prepare the manpower to respond." ”

Finally, he said, "I just saw a halo next to the moon, and the stars were shining. Tomorrow will be mostly windy, but now it is late autumn, and there will be a northwesterly wind, preferably a north wind. Tartars also observe the sky, but not many people see them in the second half of the night. The soldiers are fast, hurry up and think of countermeasures, and make preparations with both hands. ”

When everyone heard this, they were so excited that they fell asleep, and they all gathered around the map to offer advice to you and me.

On the second day, the weather was sunny in the morning, the sky was full of white clouds, and the people with the guys were sunburned in the grass.

Qin Daochuan said in his heart, could it be that he was like an arrow, eager to win, and made a mistake in judgment? But the heavens show that there is no mistake.

Vice General Qin said: "It's better to wait, if it's still like this in the afternoon, withdraw first." Fortunately, the troops were still on standby, and the movement was not too big. ”

Qin Daochuan nodded sullenly.

In the afternoon, a cool breeze suddenly swept by, blowing on everyone's sweaty faces, and the original tired spirit was lifted.

Then, from time to time, there was a gust of blowing, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

The clouds in the sky gradually drew closer and formed a large patch.

Qin Dong whispered excitedly: "General, let's start!" ”

Qin Daochuan looked at the sky carefully and nodded.

According to the location set last night, everyone split up and began to sprinkle oil.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, Qin Daochuan's brows that had been tightly locked relaxed, he took out a small strip of cloth to measure the direction of the wind, and raised his head towards Qin Nan.

There was a birdsong in Qinnan, and then the birdsong came from time to time, and after a while, thick smoke rose on the grassland, and then there was firelight, spreading in the direction of the west wind.

There was a commotion in the tribe, thinking that the Qin family army was coming, they rushed out of the camp to fight, and rode on their war horses to see how there were armies around.

So they all thought it was a wildfire, and were about to pack up their belongings and retreat, but they knew that the wind was blowing more and more urgently, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, so they had to gallop away on horseback to the north.

When the burns are finished, and the ones that should be left are finished, the big guys get together again.

Except for a few accidentally being picked up by the fire, there was no major problem.

Vice General Qin said unwillingly: "If I knew this, I should have brought the team and annihilated them all." ”

Qin Dong said: "Isn't it uncertain! ”

Qin Daochuan nodded and said: "Everything is good and bad, now that their belongings have been burned out, gathered together, there are more monks and less porridge, and the taste under the fence is enough for them." Let's go back and fix up and get ready for battle. ”

Qin Nan said: "A lot of livestock have been burned, why don't we send someone to pull it back!" ”

Qin Daochuan said: "That's no longer exposed." ”

Everyone laughed, and Qin Nan said, "Don't I think it's a pity! ”

Qin Daochuan looked at the sky, and then said: "It may rain tonight, the fire won't burn for long, let's retreat as soon as possible!" ”

On the second day, in the royal court deep in the grassland, Xituo listened to the report and asked strangely, "Are you sure there is nothing missing?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, I fell into deep thought.

For the next few days, there was a lot of quarrel among the tribes, and the burned said that they would not go back.

The belongings were burned down, and the livestock that were burned by the fire were drenched by the rain at night, and then sunburned by the sun the next day, and they were already covered with mosquitoes and flies, where could they eat. Now if you want them to go back, can they just ride horses and wander around the grassland? They all asked for help from other tribes.

Everyone was originally united and horizontal, how could there be any unity of heart, arguing and quarreling every day.

Tuvar hid in the camp tent and laughed with the beautiful woman, and only blamed the matter on Sito.

After thinking about it for a few days, Xituo decided to take the initiative to change the current status quo of the tribe.
