Volume III, Chapter 565
After the Jin army lit the fire, the Jin soldiers who had already prepared took advantage of the fire in the ditch to light the torches, and then used the torches to burn the stone bullets of the stone throwing machine and the crossbow arrows of the city-breaking crossbow.
Stone bullets and crossbow arrows have been specially treated by the Jin army, crossbow arrows are directly soaked in fire oil, while stone bullets are made up of several pieces of broken stone, which are also soaked in fire oil, and then tied together by hemp rope.
Stone bullets and crossbow arrows were sticky to the fire, and for a while, the Jin Army's stone thrower and the city-breaking crossbow were on fire, and the fire was shining.
If there is no fire on their side, the Red soldiers on the wall of the wall will not be able to see here, and at this time, there is a fire on their side, how can the Red soldiers not find out?
"What's going on over there, why is there a fire all of a sudden?" a sharp-eyed Red Soldier was the first to notice the anomaly outside the camp and screamed loudly.
The other Red soldiers also looked at each other and said, "Could it be a mountain fire?"
"No, there was no thunder and no lightning just now, where did the wildfire come from!"
"Could it be...... Is it a night attack by the enemy?"
Just when the Red Sergeant was still guessing what was going on with the fire outside the camp, all of a sudden, the little bit of fire in the black curtain flew up rapidly, catapulted into the air, and then, drawing a semicircular arc, smashed down on the top of their heads.
"It's not good! It's an enemy attack! It's the enemy who steals the camp at night—" It was only then that the Red soldiers reacted, and the fire outside the camp was not a mountain fire, but was ignited by the Jin army.
But at this time, the reaction was over, and the stone bullets that burned from the sky seemed to be the fire of the sky, smashing on the wall, making a crisp sound, and the impact force damaged the wall at the same time, it also broke the hemp rope that bound the stone bullets, and the scattered stones splashed everywhere. What's worse is that the stones are attached to the flames, but the wall is sticky to the fire, and it can't be extinguished even if you want to.
The camps set up by the Red Army in Panling were all built with local materials and pine trees in Panling. In doing so, one is to have time left. Second, pine wood is hard, and it is tall and strong, and pine trees with a height of 30 meters are very common, and it is just right to use them to build defenses. But it has a fatal weakness, that is, it is afraid of fire, especially in the middle of the hot summer, pine trees will produce pine oil under the scorching sun. And once the pine oil is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish it again.
During the day, when Ding Feng came to inspect, he saw the pine trees all over the Panling Mountains that he suddenly thought that the camp of the Red Army was probably made of pine wood, and the temperature was hot in the middle of summer, which was a good opportunity to attack with fire.
In fact, he really predicted correctly, and the only thing that worried him was that it would be cloudy tonight. Once it rains, the fire attack plan will definitely fail. It will also arouse the vigilance of the Red Army, and it will be difficult to work in the future, but the soldiers are fast, and he can only gamble on his own luck.
Ding Feng's fire attack plan had a miraculous effect, and the Red Army was caught off guard.
The stone bullets that burned with fire. Like a meteor shower falling from the sky, the scene is charming, but for the Red Army in the camp, it is more like a terrible nightmare, and they are in hell.
Stone bullets fall to the ground. Immediately it shattered, the burning stones flew everywhere, the pine sticking to the fire, and the cowhide tent was not the same? In an instant, the camp of the Red Army fell into a sea of fire, the wall became a wall of fire, the tent became a fire, and the Red soldiers who had been standing on the wall were burned into burning men, wailing, screaming, and struggling to jump off the wall. The Red soldiers who slept in the tents were even worse, and many were still asleep, burned to soot in a daze.
The Red Army camps were on fire everywhere, and everywhere you could see the Red Army soldiers who were panicked and scattered and fled, and everywhere was filled with the smell of burnt flesh and mush, and corpses that had been burned to the point that their skin and flesh were deformed could be seen everywhere.
At this time, the Red Army camp had become a veritable hell on earth.
Ding Feng directly ordered nearly 10,000 Jin soldiers wearing Red Army uniforms and armor to rush out of their camp and go straight to the Red Army camp.
In order to distinguish the difference between their own and the enemy, each of them tied a white belt on their arms, and the disguised Jin army was almost unhindered and rushed directly to the Red Army's camp.
Raise your eyes and look ahead, well, now you don't even have to find a way to break open the gate of the Red Army camp, because the gate has long been burned down, and they rushed directly into the camp in one go.
With the invasion of this batch of Jin troops, it was equivalent to a blow to the Red Army in the camp, and the Red Army soldiers who were burned dizzy and could not distinguish between the southeast and northwest still had the slightest resistance at all, and the Jin Army who were rushed in was like chopping wood and cutting vegetables, and they were cut to the ground one after another. The remaining Red Army lost all their fighting spirit, and no longer had the intention of fighting, so they fled to the second camp of the Red Army screaming like a lost dog.
The disguised Jin army did not chase the defeated Red Army, but followed behind the Red Army's buttocks and also ran towards the second camp of the Red Army. The second camp of the Red Army had just collected the remnants of the defeated army, and before its main general had time to ask what was going on, the Jin army had already repeated its old tricks and continued to use fire attack tactics against the second camp.
Although the second camp of the Red Army was ready for battle, the situation was not much better than that of the first camp, and the rockets and firebombs fired by the Jin Army were too powerful, first the wall of the camp caught fire, and then the camp was also full of fire.
In order to put out the fire, the Red Army in the camp was already busy sweating, but the Jin soldiers who had mixed in earlier began to attack again, and started a melee with the Red Army in the enemy camp.
The commander of the Red Army also wanted to gather troops to eliminate the spies who had mixed in, but at this time, the main force of the Jin Army had launched a large-scale assault outside the camp.
Under the situation of internal and external troubles and fires everywhere, the Red Army in the second camp was also defeated and fled outward. The Jin army spies who were chasing and slashing the Red Army just now pretended to be the Red Army again, and followed the Red Army to a camp under Lu.
Because the situation at the scene was so chaotic, it was difficult for the Red Army to observe the difference between those disguised Jin Army and them, and the two sides were mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy.
Outside, the Jin army attacked with fire, and inside the Red Army, the Jin army planted spies. With this tactic, in just two hours, he even took down three camps of the Red Army, killing and wounding countless Red Army.
When Ding Fengzhi was full of pride and wanted to break through the 16th battalion of the Red Army in one go, he knew that there were unforeseen circumstances. Suddenly it poured heavily in Panling.
This is exactly what Ding Feng is most worried and afraid of.
With the heavy rain, the Jin army's fire attack tactics were self-defeating, and the momentum of its offensive was also stubbornly blocked by the fourth camp of the Red Army.
Seeing that it was difficult for his side to achieve any more results, Ding Feng could only sigh that the heavens would not help him, and gave the order to go down, and the whole army would collect its troops and fight again at a later date.
The main force of the Jin army that was attacking outside retreated, but the Jin army that had previously mixed into the red army camp could not withdraw, but this group of Jin troops reacted quickly. The people immediately ripped off the strips of cloth on their arms and quietly hid them, and since they couldn't get out, they could only temporarily serve as Red Army in the Red Camp.
Of course, when the Red Army studied the tactics of the Jin Army, it also found that a group of Jin Army disguised themselves as their own and mixed in with their own side, and the Red Army also made a special investigation into this, and the object of the investigation was the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled back from the three camps that were lost.
Some of the Kim soldiers were unprepared. The Red Army who was investigated found out, but there were also many more clever Jin soldiers who secretly took the military cards of the Red soldiers who died in the melee. Imposter and successfully passed the test.
None of the Jin soldiers who were found out ran away, but were all executed by the Red Army, and their heads were hung on the wall of the wall to warn and humiliate the Jin Army, and the number of Jin troops who were lucky enough to escape was also quite large. There were two or three thousand of them.
Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. After this battle, the Red Army finally realized the Achilles heel of Matsuki, and after that, day and night. The Red Army would always water the camp regularly, making it difficult for the Jin Army to carry out its fire attack plan.
On the Jin army's side, although it was a victory, burning down three camps of the Red Army in a row, but it could not continue the victory, and for the fourth camp of the Red Army, the Jin Army also made two strong attacks, but the results were in vain.
In the end, the two sides fell into a stalemate at Panling, and the Jin army could not break through the camp of the Red Army, and the Red Army did not have the courage to take the initiative.
Now in this situation, how to break the enemy, Ding Feng and Jin Cheng are both at a loss, and the two of them think about it, and they invariably think of the Iron Lion Army.
If the Iron Lion Army can cooperate with its own side, attack from the south of Panling to the north, and then attack from the north of Panling to the south, under the attack from both sides, the enemy army will not be broken. But the key problem is that the information from their side cannot be transmitted to the Iron Lion Army, and even if it reaches the Iron Lion Army, with Chu Chen's arrogant personality, he may not be able to obey the dispatch of the two of them.
Ding Feng, who has always been good at fighting tough battles, and Jin Cheng, who has always been resourceful, were stumped here in Panling, and the army of more than 200,000 was blocked by the Red Army of more than 300,000.
When Lin Haotian led the Fourth Army and the Seventh Army Corps to Panling, the First Army and the Fifth Army had been confronting the Red Army here for more than half a month, and there was no other progress except for the three camps that had been broken before.
The four armies converged in one place, and after listening carefully to the battle reports of Ding Feng and Jin Cheng, Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, his sharp eyes swept over Ding Feng and Jin Cheng, and said quietly: "The First Army has always prided itself on being a tiger and wolf army, but this time it was blocked in Panling by Yuan Cheng, who was unknown and relied on nepotism to become a lieutenant general, which is really ridiculous!"
Lin Haotian's words were like a sharp knife inserted into Ding Feng's heart, which also made Ding Feng a little embarrassed, his old face turned red, he knelt on one knee, and intervened to salute: "My lord, the last general is willing to attack the enemy camp again, this time if the enemy camp is not broken, the last general will never withdraw his troops!"
In fact, with the strength of the First Army Corps, it was no problem to forcibly break through the fourth camp of the Red Army, but the key was that even if the enemy camp was breached, the First Army Corps itself would suffer heavy damage, and how could the next twelve Red Army camps be fought? As the commander of the First Army, Ding Feng had to consider this. Now that the adults are here, they are ridiculed in public, and Ding Feng can only let go of it, even if the first legion is greatly injured, it can't let the status of the first legion in the eyes of the adults be damaged.
Hearing his words, Lin Haotian waved his hand and said, "No need! If you could fight down, you would have fought it a long time ago, why not wait until now?" After a pause, he turned his head sideways and asked, "Where is Guan He?"
"The last general!" Guan He came out of the queue and intervened in front of Lin Haotian to give a salute.
"You lead the troops and horses of your headquarters, within two hours, take down the enemy camp for me, there must be no mistake!" Lin Haotian said in a deep voice.
"The last general obeys the order!" Guan He agreed simply, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart, this time even the First Army could not defeat the place. If he let his Seventh Army be defeated, then his face will be exposed, and the Seventh Army will also take the place of the First Army in the future and become the First Army of the Jin Country.
He was about to step out, when Jin Cheng hurriedly stood up to stop: "General Guan, wait a minute!" He said to Lin Haotian urgently: "My lord, the seventh legion is a cavalry legion, which is only suitable for the two armies to fight each other, how can it be used to attack the city and pull out the village, this is a taboo for soldiers, and I hope that the adults will take back their lives and plan for the long term!"
Lin Haotian snorted and said, "With infantry, you can't beat the enemy camp." Now that the commander wants to use cavalry, and you stand up against it, you can tell me, how can we break through these few red army camps? Could it be that the hundreds of thousands of troops of our Jin country are not as good as his iron lion army?"
At the beginning, the Iron Lion Army took Panling lightly and passed easily, but now it talks about the pure Jin Army. But he couldn't attack it for a long time, which made Lin Haotian feel that he couldn't hold his face.
Just when Jin Cheng was speechless. Hu Xia, one of the generals, stepped forward and intervened and said: "My lord, give the last general 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the last general will definitely be able to break through the enemy camp and take the head of the enemy general!"
Hu Xia was a master of the martial arts selected by the recent military conquest order, and they were originally sent to the military academy for further study. This time the Battle of Jinchi broke out, and they were temporarily requisitioned out by Lin Haotian. In Lin Haotian's view, only in actual combat, the growth of a general is the fastest, as for the written things. No matter how much you learn, it's just on paper.
Seeing that Hu Xia took the initiative to ask for help, Lin Haotian finally showed a smile on his face, he nodded, and said: "Okay! Ben Shuai will give you 50,000 soldiers of the Fourth Legion, and let the Seventh Army force suppress the battle for you, you must break through the enemy camp for Ben Shuai!"
With Lin Haotian's approval, Hu Xia led the 50,000 Fourth Army Corps, and the Seventh Army Corps formed a slight formation, and went straight to the Chiguo camp after leaving the camp.
He did not come up and ordered the whole army to attack, but first urged his horse to come to the front of the two armies, and scolded the enemy in the direction of Chiying.
Because Hu Xia was still a little-known nobody in the Jin country, the Red Army was not afraid of him, and soon after he fought against the enemy, the gate of the Red Army camp was opened, and a wave of more than 10,000 Red troops poured out from it, and they were in a belligerent formation in front of the camp.
This Red Army can be called elite, all of them are strong, the soldiers are burly and tall, holding a shield in one hand, a spear in the other, and a sword at their waists, standing there, full of energy, high morale, a red general, a red-maned horse, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, a red robe, holding a barbed wolf tooth knife, so not mighty and majestic.
The red general urged the horse to rush out of the Red Army camp, grabbed the reins at a distance of about five meters from Hu Xia, looked Hu Xia up and down a few times, the corners of his mouth twitched, sneered, pointed at Hu Xia with a knife, and asked: "Come and sign up!"
"I am the Kingdom of Gold...... Hu Xia!" "Hu Xia has not yet received the title and military rank, and when he registered, he could not add a resounding title in front of his name.
When the red general heard this, his face showed even more contempt, and he replied in a loud voice: "I am Yao Zhiyuan, the general of the northern part of the Red Kingdom! Hu Xia, the general advises you to go back quickly, and change to a famous Jin general to come out and fight with the general!"
Hu Xia was also happy, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Clean up your and other rats, I, Hu Xia, are enough alone!"
Yo, the other party is not very famous, but his tone is not small. Yao Zhiyuan was furious in his heart, and he sneered: "It's hard to persuade you with good words, this damn ghost, since you want to find death, I will fulfill you!"
As he spoke, a thick mist rose around him, and then, urging him to step forward, the big knife was raised high, and he immediately split Huashan to take Hu Xia's eyebrows.
The other party was menacing, but Hu Xia was not in a hurry, and when the opponent's big knife had already slashed in front of him, he also completed the underworld armor, calmly raised the long knife, and hard-caught the opponent's heavy split.
In the ear chakra, a violent golden sound was heard, and Yao Zhiyuan's powerful knife was bounced away by him.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xia, who was not stout, still had such a great brute strength, Yao Zhiyuan's face changed slightly, he hurriedly put away the knife, turned it into a stab, and slammed the knife into Hu Xia's chest.
The latter was still as steady as Mount Tai, holding the knife in one hand, as if he waved it outward at will, and when he was long, Yao Zhiyuan's straight stab was also blocked by him. Then, the two horses staggered, and the moment they saw that the two were about to pass by, Yao Zhiyuan swept through the thousands of troops again, waved the spirit knife, and slashed Hu Xia's waist. The latter was unable to resist this time, leaning back, the back of his head almost touching the horse's hips, and the edge of the long knife almost brushed the tip of his nose.
To say that Yao Zhiyuan can be regarded as a fierce general with pure combat methods and martial arts, he came up and stabbed three times in a row, and changed to an ordinary general, he may not be able to resist it. But Hu Xia is not an ordinary martial arts master, he is a general in the army, and he has rich experience in actual combat, but he has not been reused.
After parrying Yao Zhiyuan's 'three-plate axe', Hu Xia has a good idea of his strength, this person is arrogant, no one in his eyes, but his ability is not very good!
With the two horses already staggered, Hu Xia suddenly turned around and struck back the saber, slashing the back of Yao Zhiyuan's head.
Hearing that the evil wind behind him was not good, Yao Zhiyuan was startled, hurriedly put away the knife, and put it behind him, and heard a crisp sound, Hu Xia's long knife was slashing on Yao Zhiyuan's knife shaft, the collision of the long knife and the long knife, the sparks splashed everywhere, and the strength of his knife was so great that Yao Zhiyuan almost fell from the war horse with his head down.
The latter used a lot of strength to stabilize his body, but he was already shocked into a cold sweat.
This is half a round of the two of them, you come and go, a total of four moves, although Yao Zhiyuan made three moves, Hu Xia only returned one move, but on the scene, even a layman can see that Hu Xia has the upper hand.
The drummers used their strength to eat milk, wielding the drum hammer in their hands, beating the war drums like popping beans, and the soldiers below also shouted in unison: "Jin! Jin! Jin-"
The shouts shook the sky and soared into the sky. (To be continued......)
