The raging fire reflected half of the night sky, and when Li Kui, who was patrolling Cangzhou City, saw it, he found that it was the direction of Crouching Tiger Villa, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Chai Jin.

Chai Jin got out of the bed, walked up to the city with the guards, and looked at it with a telescope for a while, but he couldn't guess the cause of the fire. Li Kui asked in a low voice: "Brother Chai Jin, did the Jin people break through the village and set fire to the villa." ”

Chai Jin said: "The walls of the villa are all concrete poured with cement, which is higher and harder than the city wall of Cangzhou, and there are thirty cannons on the front wall, as well as two thousand flintlock guns, and five grenades per person. I guess they set the tent on fire......"

It was half an hour before the flames slowly dimmed. The sky of Crouching Tiger Villa was filled with the smell of burnt corpses.

Chao Gai and the others climbed back onto the wall, and a suffocating heat wave rushed towards them. They couldn't stand on the wall at all, so they hurriedly jumped into the courtyard.

After everyone went down to the courtyard, Zhang Hu smiled and said to Chao Gai: "Brother is really a good plan, set a fire and burned thousands of gold soldiers to death. ”

Chao Gai said: "I learned this from the king and the military advisors. When destroying the Western Xia, our master Zhou Daxia followed the advice of the old Zhongshuai and burned to death 50,000 elite soldiers in the Western Xia, which was called a big deal. ”

"We heard about it later. It is said that he almost burned the golden vulture to death that time, and it was refreshing to think about it. Qiu Kuibian said.

So, how did Chao Gai know that the enemy was coming to attack at night? It turns out that there is a secret passage to the outside of the village in Crouching Tiger Villa. After the Jin people withdrew yesterday, in order to seize the initiative, Chao Gai asked Qiu Kui to take a few reconnaissance personnel to go out through the secret passage and lurk near the Jin camp to investigate the enemy. They saw that the Jin men had brought a large amount of water from the river in their sheepskin pouches back to the camp of Jin.

At that time, they didn't know what the Jin people were doing when they brought so much water back to the camp. Upon his return, Qiu Kui reported what he had discovered to Chao Gai. The three of them carefully deliberated on the situation again and again, and only then did they determine that it should be Jin Ren's view that the wall was not stone, and that he might soak the wall with water at night. Because, the Jin people have never heard of cement, and they don't know how hard this gray soil is when it is made into concrete.

In this way, Chao Gai came up with a strategy to attack with fire. Of course, many of the straws were also drenched with fierce fire oil. Therefore, once the straw is ignited, it is not easy for water to extinguish the fire......

In this way, Yinshuke, Jinshuke and Ha Mi Chi came to take advantage of the excitement and returned disappointed. Nearly 8,000 people were lost at once, and none of the thousands of Song soldiers guarding Crouching Tiger Villa lost a single one.

Fortunately, it was the bad idea of the strategist Ha Mi, whom Sticky Han trusted, and he was mainly responsible. Otherwise, the two brothers will definitely be relieved of their military power and punished.

On the third day, He Mi Chi and others returned to Cangzhou with the remaining 22,000 people, and reported to Muhan the story of the loss of troops in Wohu Villa.

Sticky Han was going to arrange for someone to attack Cangzhou City at night. Seeing that Jin Shuke and others suffered a big loss in the night attack, he canceled the night's activities.

On the second day after Yinshuke and the others came back, the sticky rare cloud ladder and the wooden infantry shield were almost done, so they discussed with Ha Miqi and others, and today they began to continue to attack Cangzhou City.

This time, the cavalry suppressed a hundred paces away, allowing the infantry to hold shields to block bows and arrows in front, and behind them were a large number of soldiers carrying ladders and carrying swords and guns to attack.

Today's main direction of attack is the South Gate. The other three were mere feints.

After Chai Jin heard the situation brought back to the headquarters by the herald, he analyzed that the enemy's attack today focused on the south gate. So let Shi Jin and Li Kui come to the south gate with 4,000 men and horses as a reserve.

Ye Hongyan was the commander-in-chief of the South Gate, and she saw that the Jin people were holding shields and carrying ladders and began to attack. The musketeers were ordered to specialize in shields, and eight guns bombarded the cavalry behind, throwing all bows and crossbows, and crossing the infantry shields from the air to inflict casualties on the enemy behind.

In the first round, he attacked with 5,000 gold soldiers and suffered losses in Crouching Tiger Villa, and he was guilty of meritorious service. He followed behind the shield soldiers, and constantly commanded the golden soldiers to follow.

Five hundred flintlock muskets fired freely, and shield men were constantly hit by bullets piercing through the wooden shields. The wooden shield could hold the bow and arrows, but not the bullets of the musket. From a hundred paces away to less than thirty paces, more than half of the shield men were killed.

After the golden man rushed to within thirty steps, Ye Hongyan sent out a signal to drop a bomb. Thousands of grenades were quickly thrown out and blossomed among the enemy, and countless enemy troops lay in pools of blood. The dead soul flew to Liaodong's hometown in advance, and was injured and lay on the ground crying for his father and mother. Countless ladders and wooden shields were blown away, and sawdust flew everywhere.

Most of the 5,000 gold soldiers that could be brought by Alchemy were lost in an instant, and more than 1,500 people were left to flee back to the rear in disarray, and almost all of them were wounded.

Such a result was really unacceptable to Mu Han, and he was furious in his heart, so he asked the herald to give an order, and all the more than 40,000 people and horses outside the south gate were staked, regardless of life and death, to attack the city.

Ha Mi Qi hurriedly persuaded: "The marshal is angry, the kind of thing that the southerners are using now that can penetrate the shield may be the musket proposed in the intelligence recently sent back by the secret spies, and the gunpowder that the southerners make cannons should be used." This weapon is so powerful that a shield can't stop it. ”

"We must find another way, otherwise it will be in vain and countless soldiers will be sacrificed in vain."

"Then you hurry up and come up with a plan so that we can turn defeat into victory." Sticky Han urged.

"The marshal allows me to think for a moment and come up with a foolproof plan."

He sat there and thought about it for a long time, and came up with a plan, which was soon overturned by himself. I saw him sitting there, closing his eyes, nodding his head and shaking his head. People who don't know it think that he has gone crazy......

Search the intestines and scrape the belly, stir up the brain. Finally made him come up with a poisonous plan. I saw that his eyes were shining, his brows were stretched, and he was talking endlessly at Sticky Han, and Sticky Han turned his anger into joy, and nodded yes again and again.

After all, what kind of trick Ha Mi Chi came up with, which was affirmed by the famous gold general Sticky Han, and listened to the next decomposition.
