readx;? After a rainy day, there are sunny days for several days, and the scorching sun hangs high, and people stand in the sun for a while, and their scalps will be fried. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At the foot of the White Land Mountain, the camp of the Wind Army.

Luo Ren sat in the tent of the Chinese army, and his head was covered with sweat. He walked out of the tent, and the generals Hu Chong, Sui Tangjing, Nie Zhen, Shao Han, and Menshak also followed.

Nie Zhen unbuttoned his neckline, pulled the military uniform on his body again, wiped two beads of sweat from his forehead, and complained: "This damn ghost weather, it's almost going to roast people!"

Hu Chong looked at Nie Zhen and said calmly: "It's still so hot under the mountain, the temperature on the mountain is even higher, and the taste of the Ningnan Army is even more uncomfortable." ”

Shao Han Zhengse said: "Therefore, the people of Ningnan can persevere, and the officers and soldiers of our army should insist even more." ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, which made Nie Zhen roll his eyes, but he didn't continue to complain.

Luo Ren suddenly crouched down, grabbed a large handful of dirt from the ground, and shook it hard, his palm open, and the dirt flowed down from between his fingers like a stream of water.

Nie Zhen stepped forward, followed Luo Ren's example, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, looked down, didn't see anything unusual, he looked at Luo Ren in confusion, and asked, "General Luo?"

"Three days ago, the ground was covered with mud, but now the mud has dried up into lumps. Luo Ren muttered.

Nie Zhen rolled his eyes and asked, "What does General Luo mean that our army can now storm the enemy army on the top of the mountain?"

A large part of the reason why the wind army under the mountain has not attacked the Ningnan army on the mountain is that it has encountered continuous rainy days, the ground is muddy and slippery, and it is too difficult for the soldiers to climb the mountain.

Luo Ren nodded, stood up, looked up at Baidi Mountain, and said faintly: "The confrontation has been too long, and it is time for our army to attack!"

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and said, "Send the order to go down and cut down all the trees around Baidi Mountain within three days." ”

When Hu Chong heard this, his eyes flashed, and he smiled lightly, while the rest of the people looked at each other, not understanding what Luo Ren wanted to suddenly order to cut down the tree.

Luo Ren looked around at everyone present, and said in a flat tone: "The weather is dry and hot, suitable for fire attack, and in three days, our army will set fire to the mountain!"

Hearing this, the surrounding generals suddenly realized. Set fire to the mountain, the fire spreads, but it is not something that can be controlled by manpower, and when it burns on the mountain, it will also burn into your own camp.

Cutting down all the woods at the foot of Baidi Mountain is equivalent to isolating the source of fire, so that the fire can only rush to Baidi Mountain, and will not affect yourself.

Everyone unanimously showed excitement on their faces, and they all bowed to Luo Ren, and responded in unison: "The last general will obey the order!"

Luo Ren gave an order, and the Wind Army moved up and down, the Third and Fourth Army Corps of the Zhenjun Army, the Tenth Army Corps of the Central Army, the Zero Army Corps, and the Duji Wang Ting Army Corps all participated in the action of cutting down the trees around Baidi Mountain.

In just two days, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Feng Army cut a section of more than 30 meters wide at the foot of Baidi Mountain.

The isolation zone is in a circular shape, circling the Baidi Mountain, and through this section of the circular clearing, the wind army can just arrange artillery here, and the cannonballs configured are all equipped with phosphorus powder.

The wind army was cutting down trees under the mountain with great fanfare, and the Ningnan army on the mountain naturally found out that they didn't know exactly what the wind army was going to do, but they could guess just by guessing, and there must be nothing good in it.

Sure enough, after the wind army cut down all the trees under the mountain, one by one the artillery was erected. It was only at this time that the officers and men of the Ningnan Army realized that the Feng Army was planning to use artillery to assist and storm Baidi Mountain.

In this regard, the officers and men of the Ningnan Army scoffed, no matter how high the artillery under the mountain is, it is impossible to hit the shells directly on the top of the mountain, and at this time, the main force of the Ningnan Army is basically in the position of the upper part of the mountain, so the artillery of the Feng Army looks very scary, but in fact, it does not pose too much threat to its own side, and the Feng Army has spent so much effort that it is completely useless.

But this time, the Ningnan Army's prediction was wrong, the artillery set up by the Feng Army at the bottom of the mountain did not intend to directly bombard the Ningnan Army on the mountain, their target was the trees below the mountain and halfway up the mountain.

As long as all the trees under the mountain and halfway up the mountain are ignited, the fire will burn upward, and the Ningnan army on the top of the mountain will have to be unlucky.

The first to see the Feng Army's intentions was Xin Jiyao. When Feng Jun first started cutting trees, Xin Jiyao didn't pay much attention to this matter, to be exact, she was sick in bed at the time.

The million army entered Douky, and until now, the remaining soldiers around her, not even 200,000 people, the battle has reached this extent, it can be described as a complete defeat, and now 200,000 soldiers are trapped on the White Land Mountain, there is no way to go to the sky, there is no way to go down, there is no ammunition and food, people are sleepy and horses are scarce, and the soldiers below are even to the point of gnawing on the bark of the tree, in addition, Jun Ran acted privately behind her back, and as a result, he died in the small town of Hoydka in the defense line of the Wind Army...... All these are heavy blows to Xin Jiyao again and again.

The huge pressure on his body, the difficult situation at home and abroad, and the vain death under his heart, even an iron man can hardly withstand these.

On the second day after Jun Ran's death, Xin Jiyao, who had always been strong, also fell ill, and it was not until the Feng army cut down all the trees around Baidi Mountain that Xin Jiyao could get up and go to the ground.

With the support of his subordinates, Xin Jiyao walked out of the camp tent and looked down the mountain.

When looking at the dense artillery arranged by the Feng Army at the foot of the mountain, Xin Jiyao suddenly felt a headache and a blackening in front of him. On her left and right, there were also generals of the Ningnan Army who were talking endlessly.

"The Wind Army's plan to use artillery to assist the attack is simply whimsical! Even if the range of the Wind Army's artillery is too long, it is impossible to hit the top of the mountain, our army is condescending, even if the soldiers use stones, they can smash the attacking enemy army back!"

But what if the wind army is attacked? Xin Jiyao shouted in his heart. The corners of her mouth moved, and she didn't say anything, even if he said it now, it would be useless, it would only bring despair to the soldiers.

Xin Jiyao slowly closed his eyes, was silent for a long time, and asked in a weak voice: "If our army is cutting trees now, how long will it take to cut down all the trees halfway up the mountain?"

Hearing her words, all the generals present were all stunned, the general wants to cut down all the trees halfway up the mountain? The general of the Ningnan army cleared his throat and said: "General, there are enough rocks on the top of the mountain, and there is no need to make rolling logs to assist!"

"Answer my question!" Xin Jiyao shouted out almost with all his strength. But to the ears of those around her, her voice was still faint and deep.

Seeing that her face was not good, a general said cautiously: "General, there is not a grain of grain in the army, and the soldiers have not eaten for several days, it is really ...... I can't afford to cut wood!"

After Xin Jiyao heard this, her body couldn't help but shake again and again, if it weren't for the support of two female soldiers, she would probably have to fall to the ground now.

It's over! Xin Jiyao sighed in her heart.

The only way they could deal with it was to cut down the trees below the mountain to prevent the fire from spreading to the side of the wind army's garrison, and the only way they could deal with it was to cut down a section of the isolation zone halfway up the mountain, so that they could prevent the fire from spreading to the top of the mountain.

But now, with the condition of their own soldiers, they can't do this at all, once the wind army launches a fire attack, how will they respond?

"Fu ...... Help me go back to the camp to rest!" Xin Jiyao said weakly. Now she could only pray silently in her heart, praying that the wind army would cut down wood at the foot of the mountain, just to set up artillery, not to attack with fire.

Of course, Xin Jiyao knew very well in his heart that this possibility was very small, and the main commander of the Feng Army would be Luo Ren, a commander who followed Shangguan Xiu's side, fought with him in the south and the north, and made countless meritorious contributions, he can be called the number one fierce general around Shangguan Xiu, and what he can think of, Luo Ren must also be able to imagine.

Facts have proved that Xin Jiyao's speculation is correct. Without waiting for the next day, on the afternoon of the day when the wind army finished arranging the artillery, they immediately launched a wanton bombardment of Baidi Mountain.

As expected by the generals of the Ningnan Army, the artillery arranged by the Feng Army at the foot of the mountain could hit the halfway up the mountain at most, and could not hit the top of Baidi Mountain at all, but the Feng Army's cannon shot down, and all the places within a radius of about three meters turned into a sea of fire.

For several days, the sun was scorching, the mud on the ground was dried into clods, the trees became unusually dry, and sticky fires were ignited.

When the shell exploded, the phosphorus powder inside was emitted and attached to the trunks of the surrounding trees, instantly igniting the trees. A large tree turned into a giant torch, and the fire spread along the branches and into the surrounding trees.

The shelling of the wind army seemed to have only begun, not ended, and the rumbling shelling sounded into a circle. Looking at Baidi Mountain again, the firelight was just a little bit at first, but soon, the fire spread from point to surface, spread all over the mountains and fields, and turned into a sea of fire.

Since the surrounding area of Baidi Mountain has been cut down into an open space by the Wind Army, the fire cannot be burned outward, but can only burn upward.

It didn't take more than an hour for the fire to burn halfway up the mountain. Baidi Mountain is not big, and the space on the top of the mountain is also very limited, and there are no less than 200,000 troops stationed, and the position above the halfway point of the mountain is also the camp of the Ningnan army.

Now that the fire is burning, the Ningnan army does not even have the tools to put out the fire, there is no water source on the mountain, and the little water left is not enough for people to drink.

People could only break off the branches and slap the fire snakes that jumped up.

With a few taps of the branches, instead of being extinguished, the fire snakes were ignited one after another.

All of a sudden, the exclamations, roars, and screams of Baidi Mountain were connected, and I don't know how many soldiers of the Ningnan Army were first smoked to death, or suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen, fell into the sea of fire, and were finally burned to charcoal.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at Baidi Mountain, where the entire mountain had almost turned into a sea of fire, the soldiers of the Wind Army couldn't help but clench their fists.

Even though it was the enemy who was caught in the flames, the scene was so tragic that just watching and listening to it made people feel a burning pain on their bodies, and the hairs on their bodies stood on end.

Menshak watched for a long time, and then came back to his senses, he secretly turned his head to look at Luo Ren who was standing in the center of the generals, and then looked at the other people, and couldn't help but grin secretly, this fire attack is really too vicious, it is close to 200,000 people, if you want to burn it clean, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?

Luo Ren, Hu Chong, Sui Tangjing, and Shao Han, who were born in the Zhenjun Army, have long been accustomed to this, not to mention less than 200,000 people, even if they are millions, they have all slaughtered them with their own hands.

Compared to Menshak, who was born as a Duki nobleman, they can all be called iron-blooded generals.

Hu Chong said to Luo Ren: "This plan of fire attack is the best strategy to adapt to the time and place. General Luo is very strategic!"

Luo Ren smiled indifferently and said, "Lao Hu doesn't have to praise me, even if I can't think of it, you will definitely think of it." ”

Hu Chong didn't say a word, he didn't have to pretend to be in front of his brother, Luo Ren was telling the truth, he did think of a fire attack plan.

But then again, there is no need to attack by fire, the Ningnan army on the mountain is also a turtle in the urn, and no one can escape, but the war will drag on a little longer.

Luo Ren suddenly thought of something, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Brother Xiu has given His Majesty a dismissal and recommended Lao Hu as General Wei." ”

If this matter really came to pass, among the several corps commanders of the Zhenjun Army, Hu Chong's military rank would be the highest. Hu Chong coughed a little unnaturally, shook his head and said, "Whether Your Majesty is allowed or not, I don't know yet!"

Luo Ren said with a straight face: "Brother Xiu is recommended by the above, Your Majesty will never allow it." ”

If it was just mentioned in private, Tang Ling might still disagree, but if Tang Ling was not allowed to recommend it in the form of sparseness, it would be tantamount to slapping the face of Guan Xiu, and the relationship between Shang Guan Xiu and Tang Ling was unlikely to happen.

Hu Chong didn't know what to say, it was originally a good thing to add an official to a knight, they fought desperately on the battlefield, Yu Gong killed the enemy for the country, and Yu was private, that is, for this.

But among the brothers in the same period, only he ascended, and no one else moved, which is not so good.

Especially in front of Rokuren.

When Shangguan Xiu was not there, Luo Ren has always served as the commander of the group army, if Hu Chong becomes General Wei, then who will be in charge of who between him and Luo Ren in the future, if Shangguan Xiu is not there, who will be the commander of the group army?

Hu Chong pondered for a while, and said as if he knew it: "The position of the former general is still vacant until now, and it is said that the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government have recommended several people, but Your Majesty has not allowed them." The implication is that it is reserved for Luo Ren.
