Chapter 737: Soaring Fire
Night fell again, the Wudang soldiers who had rested during the day woke up from their sleep, and the soldiers who went to investigate the enemy's situation also returned here, Xu Shuzhi gathered them together and began to make final combat preparations, modify the details of the battle plan according to the specific situation of the enemy, and assign tasks according to each person's strengths, Gu Mo took a few soldiers who were also good at building ordnance to modify the secret weapons such as underwater mines they carried, because this mission was to set fire, so they brought a lot of sulfur, black oil and other things used to ignite the fire, Perfectly meets his needs.

After the task was assigned, a wave of men and horses went out first to solve the few sentry spouts left at the top of the mountain peak, because of the terrain, there were not many people on the top of the mountain, and more than ten people went to deal with the hundreds of northern captives, and the contact between them and the valley bottom below was also clearly found out by the Wudang army, after they killed these northern captives, they would send them all the signals of peace as before, in order to cover the traces of other soldiers.
Two hours later, it was already the middle of the moon at this time, except for those men and horses on duty at night, most of the defenders of the Yale Department had fallen asleep, Xu Shuzhi opened his eyes slightly, gestured a few gestures and took the lead out of the jungle, came to the place where he observed during the day, and took off the long rope from his shoulder and tied it to a big tree.
Several other soldiers also acted like him, and soon several ropes fell silently at the bottom of the valley at the same time, far away from the Yale guards, and after a while, he saw that there was no difference at the bottom of the valley, and Xu Shuzhi led more than 30 people down the rope to the bottom of the valley.
As soon as the soldiers landed, they quickly dispersed, and about ten people followed Xu Shuzhi to stay in the upper reaches of the stream, and then the others disappeared in different directions in several waves; Gu Moma, who was following Uncle Xu's side, took out the modified underwater mine he was carrying and carefully inspected it, and then lit a specially measured incense stick and put it into the stream.
One, two, three...... All the underwater mines brought this time were put into the water by Gu Mo's own hands, and then slowly floated down the stream to the granary downstream, and when they finished these tasks, they quickly left this place and flew towards the granary, there are many granaries in the north, these underwater mines alone are not enough to burn them all, they still have other tasks to complete.
"Hey, fortunately, Your Majesty sent us here, if we stay in front, I don't know when we will be killed by the Jiazhou army!" The nights are boring, and they can't drink alcohol while on patrol, so these people can only gossip to pass the time.
"Yes, I heard that no less than 100,000 people have died these days, all of them are warriors with excellent martial arts, if I were afraid, I would have returned to the embrace of Immortal Heaven a long time ago." The other replied with trepidation, and he exaggerated the losses of the Northern Capture army from 50,000 to 100,000.
"Thanks to General Yale's deep trust in His Majesty, we were able to get such a good errand, not only did we not have to worry about eating and drinking, but we also didn't have to go to the front to fight." As soon as the third man finished speaking, he heard an explosion with a "boom", and a ball of fire lit up the night.
"Could it be that the Jiazhou Army is here?" The voices of these people began to tremble, and hurriedly ran away in the direction from which the sound came, and kept hearing explosions along the way, and when they came to the side of the stream, the whole stream turned into a river of fire, and the splashing sparks had fallen on the granaries on both sides, and the flames that exuded a pungent smell kept devouring the reed mats that wrapped the grain, and soon burned through several heavy reed mats, and the wheat grains inside continued to flow out, and then were quickly ignited by those demonic flames.
"Blow the trumpet! Trumpet! The Jiazhou Army is here! The Jiazhou Army is here! Seeing this, the Yale soldiers hurriedly removed the horn hanging from their necks and signaled the enemy's attack.
However, most of them originally thought that even if they encountered an enemy attack, they could only attack inward from the valley mouth, and they did not think that anyone would be able to enter their interior along the cliff, so as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, the soldiers who remained in the valley habitually rushed to the valley mouth to prepare for battle, or ran to the stream to prepare to extinguish the fire, and the vicinity of the granary was suddenly empty.
"Good! This is the time! Xu Shuzhi, who had already been ambushed here, immediately took action, and the soldiers of the Wudang Army quickly dispersed, took out all kinds of ignition objects from the backpacks they were carrying behind their backs, and unceremoniously lit the granaries far away from the streams, and soon the fire continued with an unstoppable trend, and the entire valley floor was full of sporadic fires.
Some of the soldiers from the north hurriedly lifted the bucket and threw it in the direction of the fire, but this time the Wudang army used to start the fire was a special black oil specially used to set fires, and the water was not only not extinguished, but quickly spread along the current, igniting everything that could be ignited nearby.
After half an hour of busy work, the valley was already in chaos, the fire separated the Wudang army and the soldiers of the Yale Department, Xu Shuzhi saw that the goal had been reached and gave the order to retreat without hesitation, they quickly returned to those ropes under the cover of smoke, and climbed up to the top of the mountain along the ropes like monkeys.
Staying on the top of the mountain until he was sure that the fire could no longer be extinguished, Xu Shuzhi led these soldiers of the army to plunge into the jungle again, and in this battle, they only dispatched 50 men to burn the grain and grass of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the north, and their own losses were almost negligible.
After this battle, the name of Wudang Army will surely shake the whole world! One last glance at the sky-high fire rising from the bottom of the valley, Xu Shuzhi and the soldiers of Wudang Army were full of pride.
At the same time, the sky-high fire also spread to the camp of Arubu in front, and Arubu, who was awakened from his sleep, went up to the watchtower and was stunned to see the scene in front of him, these were almost the last batch of grain and grass that Xu Shiyong and Guan Neidao could supply for them, if these were burned, they would collapse without the Jiazhou army attacking them.
"All the grain has been burned! Let's run! If you don't run, you'll starve to death! There was a sudden chaos among the northern captives, and Arub saw from the high watchtower that in the camps of the Xue Hao and Pusu tribes, there were people running around to wake up the sleeping soldiers, and then turned on their horses and fled to the north.
Under their influence, some nearby tribes also began to mount their horses to join the fleeing procession, "Immediately bring people to stop them, those who dare to go north will be killed, and the whole clan will be reduced to slavery!" ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late!" A general pointed in horror in the direction of the Jiazhou Army Camp, only to see the door of the Jiazhou Army Camp open, and countless cavalry held torches high and rolled towards them like a fire dragon.
