Chapter 722: Flat Land Fire

When the coalition forces used to deal with the night army are once again disrupted by the beasts, and then finally the beast crisis is resolved and they have to evacuate, the 60,000 cavalry of the night army can block their retreat, so that they can be attacked by the enemy, and then they can defeat the coalition forces in one fell swoop, so that is the real process of the beast attack plan.

It took nearly half a month and so much manpower and financial resources to make the beast attack plan really start, and now is the time to verify the effectiveness of the beast attack plan. According to the planned time, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly left the cavalry camp and rushed to the infantry camp to meet Li Jianran and Yan Nantian.

For the soldiers of the infantry battalion and the arrow battalion, the thirty-mile journey required a lot of physical strength, and in order to ensure that the soldiers still had enough physical strength when they went to the battlefield, the departure time of the soldiers of the two battalions had been carefully calculated earlier. Now that the beast attack plan has been activated, Lin Xuanzhong and the others don't have to worry about outsiders detecting it, because since the personnel responsible for throwing the medicine powder set off smoothly, the beast attack plan can no longer be reversed.

After ......the second group of personnel set off on winged birds, the horn of the whole army was divided into three sounds, waking up the night soldiers who had just fallen asleep. In the hazy eyes of many soldiers, they did not understand what was going on, but the military order conveyed by the sound of the horn was extremely obvious.

After the junior officers woke up by themselves, they immediately went to call out to the soldiers below, and many soldiers put on their clothes in a panic, and when the cold wind blew outside the camp tent, one by one suddenly sobered up a lot. On the way to the procession, many soldiers were asking each other what they wanted to do in the evening.

"I don't know," but all the answers were those three words.

When more and more soldiers converged on the school field under the city gate, the scene of the lights up and down the city pass made everyone realize that it was not a simple procession. Before the details were announced, they all became nervous. The vast majority of people, whether recruits or veterans, have already smelled something unusual.

A quarter of an hour later, the procession ended, and the 250,000 night troops crowded the entire pass, and Zhao Xu, Lin Xuanzhong and others appeared on the city tower in time. Zhao Xu personally came forward to announce the plan of the night attack on the coalition army, from burning the coalition camp, to attacking the coalition camp, and then to the whole army participating in the war, from front to back, Zhao Xu explained the general plan of the night attack coalition army in turn.

It didn't take long for Zhao Xu to use words to boost the morale of the army to let all the soldiers understand what they were going to do tonight, how to do it, and what the final result would be. In terms of specific details, Zhao Xu didn't mention much, because it was enough to tell the soldiers that they would definitely win a big victory.

When Zhao Xu finished talking about tonight's battle plan, all the night troops under the city directly shouted excitedly, "Defeat the coalition army", the sound was as loud as thunder, instantly alarming the entire Fancheng. After hearing the movement on this side of the camp, many city residents poured into the streets to look at the location of the city gate. After questioning each other, one of them soon guessed that the night army might be attacking the coalition forces tonight.

When they thought that the night army was going to send troops, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and many city residents began to discuss why the night army sent troops overnight. At the same time, the coalition spies in the city have passed the news of the night army's imminent battle to the coalition camp.

When Zhao Xu announced the news that the night army was going to fight, Zhao Xu was no longer worried that the news of the battle would be known by the enemy personnel, so when the soldiers below shouted emotionally, Zhao Xu was very happy about the direct improvement of his morale.

When the noise at the pass subsided, the gate opened, and the cavalry took the lead out of the city, followed by the soldiers of the infantry and arrow battalions. The cavalry was to outflank the retreat of the coalition from the rear, while the infantry and archers were to be responsible for sandwiching the two sides so that no one could slip through the net.

By the time the 250,000 night soldiers marched through the city gate to the outside of the city again, a period of time had passed in the blink of an eye. The men who had gone out on the winged birds had now flown to several areas on the heavy mountains on both sides where the torches were lit, and according to the plan, they were throwing the powder from above the positions where there were torches, attracting most of the fierce beasts that had gathered earlier in the direction of the coalition camp.

The distance of dozens of miles was not a very long distance for the four-legged beasts, and the beasts followed the smell of medicine even faster than the horses. At the same time, another team of personnel in charge of burning the coalition camp had already flown over the areas where the coalition had set up posts, and even if the enemy personnel in the city used the birds to pass the news, it was impossible to outpace these winged birds.

After the night soldiers harnessed the winged birds to avoid the many sentries guarding outside the coalition camp, they began to fly from high to low. Since flying too high all the time would not be conducive to their next move, they had to fly at an altitude where they could see the coalition camp so that they could drop the oil in the designated direction.

The cold became stronger and stronger, and the snow did not fall much, but the wind blew too strongly, and the night army above was shivering by the blow, but fortunately, the wind did not affect the winged birds to carry them for the time being.

Not long after, those personnel flew to a position less than a mile away from the coalition camp, and the flight altitude was less than 200 meters.

At the same time, because it was late at night in the coalition camp, most of the people were resting for tomorrow's battle, and the small number of people in charge of guarding had already dozed off. Although the coalition top brass had arranged for them to change the guard, they still wanted to sleep a little longer.

In the dead of night, on Fang Qing's side, more than 3,000 people were crammed into dozens of tents, sleeping soundly one by one. For those of the Winged Country, tonight may be the last time they sleep. And, like many coalition forces, they need to be energized for tomorrow's war. In addition, they are not responsible for guarding relationships, so many people sleep deeply.

Of course, there are many people who can't sleep like Fang Qing and them because of the huge pressure, these people either sit in the tent to meditate and breathe, or put on clothes to adjust their mood outside the tent, in short, Fang Qing's side is very quiet.

In such a quiet atmosphere, Fang Qing and the others who were distributed in several tents were nervous at the moment. According to the plan, tonight was their time to act, and they had been waiting for a long time since nightfall, but there was no movement. After waiting for a long time, some of them were worried that the night army would not come because of the weather.

They have been infiltrating the coalition camp for several days, and Fang Qing and the others have a little bit of a clear understanding of the troop layout in the coalition camp, if they get the medicine powder according to the plan, they can sprinkle the medicine powder in some places in the coalition camp.

But then again, the coalition camp has an area of dozens of miles, and it is an extremely difficult test for the nine of them to spill the powder in more places without being detected by the coalition forces. Of course, in order to complete the task, several people have been preparing for many days, and the stakes are very high, and no one will think of retreating now.

Putting aside the situation of Fang Qing and the others, the high-level leaders of the coalition army who have not rested at the moment are worried about the weather, if the snow keeps falling like this tonight, they can still attack the city normally tomorrow. If the snow gets heavier, it's really unclear what the situation will be tomorrow, so the coalition top brass is worried that the weather will affect their battle plans.

Time passed little by little, and it didn't take long for the night army, which was ready to drop the fire oil, to fly to the designated position without avoiding all the eyes and ears of the coalition forces. Because the lights are bright in the coalition camp below, they can carry out the plan without a moment's delay.

"Do it," after confirming that the position was suitable, the two night soldiers in the bamboo basket signaled to each other, and then each lifted the wooden barrel containing the fire oil and poured it out at the same time, and after pouring the fire oil in the barrel, he threw the barrel down with it.

While they were busy throwing the oil, the winged bird continued to fly forward in the original direction, until the night army rations in the basket had poured all the oil, and the winged bird, which had received the latest instructions, quickly flew up, flew to a safe height, and then turned around and flew towards the city pass, and then brought the oil again. According to the physical strength of the winged birds, they only have time to go back and forth twice, so they can't waste it.

On the other hand, after the oil was thrown, it continued to disperse due to the wind, so that the scattered area continued to expand.

"What is it?" When some oil droplets fell on the soldiers below, the soldiers who thought it was rain reached out and touched them one after another. When they felt a little slippery, they put the oil in front of their noses one by one and asked questions, and after smelling a trace of strangeness, some people immediately asked questions.

At the same time, the oil that happened to be sprinkled on the torch directly strengthened the flame in the torch, and the splashed oil flowed down the support of the torch, igniting the whole torch, and then connected with the fire oil on the ground.

"It's fire oil," some soldiers sniffed out what was dripping on them based on the smell of the fire that had inexplicably caught fire in many places around them. At the same time, some of the soldiers who were thrown by the oil realized that there was something wrong with them above them, and that there was no possibility of oil from the sky.

"Oh no, there's an enemy attack!" some of the soldiers who reacted shouted loudly pointing to the sky, but it was too dark for them to see anything on it. ”

"Ah......h

"Hurry up and put out the fire," on the other side, the soldiers who were not in the area where the oil was thrown saw that the situation was not right, and many of their companions were on fire, and immediately shouted loudly.

"What's the situation?" As soon as the danger appeared, many of the generals in charge of guarding the guard rushed to the places where the fire was burning, and hurriedly asked the surrounding soldiers about the situation.
