Chapter 231: Destroy the enemy outside the gate
The next day, the sky brightened slightly, and the diffuse mist shrouded the entire Wuguan, making people have no time to do things in a muddy and unrefreshed spirit.
The defenders on the gate, when it was time to change shifts, suddenly dozens of ropes were put down on the walls on both sides, and then countless soldiers slid down the wall.
Soon more than 3,000 people gathered under the wall, and they immediately followed the corner of the wall and quickly moved towards the south.
Zhao Yang was on the wall, looking at the army that had disappeared into the mist, and he hoped that when they returned, he would be able to bring back good news.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rapid sound of the drum woke Ji Ling from his sleep, and he scolded outside the tent in a violent mood, putting the quilt on his head and planning to continue to make up for sleep.
At this time, the guards came in to report that the drum was not beaten by themselves.
Now in front of the Wuguan Gate, I don't know when, more than a dozen big drums are put out.
Before dawn, there was a knock on the other side.
Ji Ling sat up suddenly, he glanced at the guard blankly, the guard repeated again, Ji Ling was a little annoyed.
This Zhu Tong is sick in his head, what is the use of beating the drum at this time.
In fact, Ji Ling wronged Zhu Tong.
At this moment, Zhu Tong was also a second monk who was confused, he held on to the battlements and looked at the war drums beating below.
He was very puzzled by Zhao Yang's approach.
If you want to implement the strategy of harassing the enemy, you shouldn't choose this moment, doesn't everyone who harass the enemy start from sleeping?
Not only him, but the other generals didn't understand that it didn't work at all.
Zhao Yang didn't explain, and they were embarrassed to ask, so they could only look at the funny side, crying and laughing in their hearts.
Ji Ling came to the gate of the wall, and looked at the other side beating the war drums hard, he scratched his head, he didn't understand which one the other party was playing.
"Come on, gather 2,000 people here for me, let them cheer for the dancers opposite, we can't watch this show in vain!"
Ji Ling summoned his subordinates, and after a few words, he turned around and left.
Immediately afterwards, two thousand men quickly gathered at the camp gate, brandishing their weapons and screaming and joking.
This made the spies in the Quartet see a wonderful picture, one drum and one strange scream, how strange a person must be to do such an outrageous thing.
"Han Sheng, prepare a trebuchet and destroy those thousands of thieves for me."
Zhao Yang gave an order to Huang Zhong beside him, and Huang Zhong immediately commanded the Yulin Army to quickly assemble the things piled up on the wall.
Soon a dozen trebuchets stood on the wall, staring ahead like beasts.
Huang Zhong ordered the fire and oil bombs to be reloaded, and the soldiers immediately got busy, and soon they were all ready.
As his command flag fell, more than a dozen trebuchets began to operate, and one by one the blazing fireballs, dragging their long tails, flew towards the enemy camp opposite.
At this time, Xue Rengui and Huang Zhong somewhat understood why the main guild had set up a war drum array in front of the pass.
The sound of the drum directly drowned out the devouring sound of the mechanical arm when the trebuchet was running.
They remember vividly that the sound of the robotic arm squeaking when they were testing the trebuchet last night made them feel a little troubled.
It doesn't matter if it's alone, but if you use it in large quantities, you're sure to be able to attract the attention of the other party.
Now there was a war drum array, and all the noise was muffled in the sound of war drums, until the fireball flew out for a long time before it was discovered by the enemy on the opposite side.
Boom, boom, boom...
Countless fireballs fell from the sky, directly devouring the thousands of soldiers in front of the door, and one by one they turned into burning men, scurrying around and igniting the surrounding camps.
Ji Ling heard the screams outside and hurriedly rushed out.
He was stunned to see the fireballs that kept falling on the camp and splashing around, igniting half of the camp.
The subordinates hurriedly put out the fire, but they didn't know what kind of ingredients the other party used, the fire spread quickly, and there were many firefighting soldiers who were also affected by the pond fish.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Ji Ling saw that the fire was getting worse and worse, he immediately stopped his subordinates from fighting the fire, and ordered to immediately move and withdraw from the camp.
The speed of Yuan's attack was not fast, and when the order to retreat was given, the whole army quickly packed up everything, and it was quickly packed up, which was quite amazing.
Ji Ling retreated thirty miles with a large army, and he asked people to check the losses, and soon the inventory was completed.
This enemy attack caused them to lose more than 500 tents, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the fire, and more than 1,000 were burned.
Ji Ling looked at the vague Wuguan, he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he couldn't wait to attack immediately.
Just looking at the surrounding soldiers, now that the fire has directly burned out the fighting spirit and morale, he has no choice but to retreat to Sanhe Pavilion to rest.
On the Wu Guan, looking at the burning camp, Huang Zhong and Xue Rengui were stunned.
They couldn't help but look to the sides, these dozen or so wooden lumps could create such a big scene.
Zhao Yang was not surprised by this effect at all.
It's just that the fire is blazing in front of him, and he looks down on the situation in the big camp, so he can only wait until the fire is smaller, and then he can send someone to check the results of the battle.
He summoned Zhu Tong and asked him to pay attention to the fire outside, and when it was extinguished, he sent someone to check it, and sent spies to check where Ji Ling retreated.
He turned away from the wall, and now that the situation was decided, he wanted to go back and catch up on sleep.
Looking at Zhao Yang's back, the generals were very emotional and distressed, and they felt that the lord was very intelligent, and they had a lot easier to fight.
At the same time, it is distressing that this shows that he is very incompetent.
They chatted for a while, and Huang Zhong asked the trebuchet to be dismantled and sealed, this thing was their treasure, and it must not be known by the enemy.
Zhu Tong informed the drummers before closing the gate to withdraw all the drums to the gate, and by the way, sent dozens of sentinels to bypass the camp to find out the news.
The fire in the camp burned all morning before it was finally extinguished, and the thick smoke could be seen for dozens of miles.
Zhu Tong waited for half an hour, and only after the smoke cleared did he send someone to check, and soon his subordinates reported that the entire camp was burned down, and thousands of corpses were found.
At this time, the originally clear sky was suddenly overcast, mixed with flickering arcs, and Zhu Tong ordered the whole army to pay attention to rain.
As soon as the subordinates went to deliver the order, the rain poured down, as if washing away the sins of the world.
Zhu Tong looked at the pouring rain outside, and was a little glad in his heart, if this heavy rain happened in the early morning, it would not have the effect just now.
Similarly, in the Sanhu Pavilion, which was hundreds of miles away, Ji Ling was scolding angrily at the moment.
If it had been raining so hard at the beginning of the fire, would he have suffered such a big loss?
His subordinates persuaded one after another, don't anger the gods, otherwise they will bring disaster to themselves, but Ji Lingzheng was angry and didn't listen.
The irascible Ji Ling hadn't noticed yet, at this moment, above their camp, the thunderclouds gradually formed and became bigger and bigger, and the electric light shuttled through the thunderclouds like a dragon.
When Ji Ling pointed at the sky and scolded again, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound, and a big ball of light fell from the sky, directly blowing up the entire camp into a big pit.
The rainwater soon pooled into the pit and formed a large lake.
