Volume 1 The Son-in-law Conquers the World Chapter 13 The Fire Burns the Enemy Army
"Centurion, my brothers and I searched through and found only these shabby clothes, do you think it's okay?" Tang Tianli said loudly.
Zhao Xuanyi walked over and took a closer look, picked up the clothes and put them on his hand and touched them, the quality of the people's old clothes is really not good, rough and hard, but fortunately, they can be used!
"Very good, very nice! Tang Tianli immediately led all the brothers to open all these clothes for me and put them on the ground, and then went to the warehouse to get a bucket of oil for me, and used a brush to brush oil on my clothes, try to brush me as much as possible, save some oil, and we will have a bucket and a half! Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Brush the oil with a brush?" Tang Tianli asked strangely.
Zhao Xuanyi kicked Tang Tianli's buttocks, "You hurry up for me, it will be dark in a while, and if you miss the war situation, I will deal with your military law!" ”
"Yes!" Tang Tianli didn't know what kind of wind this adult was smoking, but he could only do what Zhao Xuanyi explained!
In the blink of an eye, it was a cloudy day, the moon in the night sky was not as bright as before, and there were not a few stars in sight! The darkness of the night made everyone feel a little panicked, as if the Tatar barbarians were hiding in the night at this time, and they would appear like ghost soldiers at any moment!
The city walls are still like gold, only a few small torches are burning, the soldiers on the city walls are still twenty people, no different from usual, it seems that the defense is still loose, it seems to be really beckoning to the enemy, come and attack us, our defense is very weak!
Shen Wei and Zhao Xuanyi didn't sleep tonight, but sat on the city wall, a straw mat, the two of them were next to each other, Shen Wei was holding a steel knife in his hand, and he seemed to be thinking about things in his heart.
And Zhao Xuanyi on the side was very quiet, did not speak, and there was no sorrow on his face, although Shen Wei's patience was very good, but looking at Zhao Xuanyi, who was more relaxed on the side, he always felt that something was wrong, "Young master, is your plan really okay?" ”
Zhao Xuanyi turned his head to look at Shen Wei and shrugged his shoulders, "Relax, there won't be a fight tonight, after tonight, it's the sixth night, and there are still four days, so I have to get through it!" ”
Won't there be a fight tonight? Shen Wei was very skeptical of this sentence: "Then young master, do you think that the battle between our two sides will start on that day?" ”
Zhao Xuanyi looked up at the dark night sky, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated, "It should be tomorrow!" Whether you can survive the remaining days depends on tomorrow's battle! Zhao Xuanyi said this, his expression was also very lost!
Although I already have a plan in my heart, there are many people bullying people at any time to fight this thing, and I don't know if I can do this little cleverness, but now there is no other way!
Just when Shen Wei and Zhao Xuanyi were chatting, there was a Tatar team of two hundred people, and then the night was slowly approaching, this group of people did not ride horses, and the weapons on their bodies were only scimitars or bows and arrows, all of which were lightly armed!
And they walked lightly, for fear of being discovered by the other party, it was obvious that they were coming to sneak attack, and the first 20 or so people were still carrying flying claws, and this thing was thrown on the city wall and hooked, and then you could go up along the rope.
And behind the hill in the distance, Li Hanyan took a few officers and soldiers to watch all this quietly, Li Hanyan showed a smug smile, he knew that the Tatars did not attack head-on during the day, and they would definitely come to attack at night, looking at their numbers, they seemed to be good hands!
There were no cavalry and large troops, and even the long ladder was not prepared, this group of people was obviously very confident, Li Hanyan looked at the weak defense on the city wall, and was a little hesitant in his heart, should I give them an arrow to warn? Anyway, it's also my Ming soldiers, if they are swallowed up by this group of Tatars, it's a pity!
The advance troops of the Tatars have already come to the forward position of Huangling City, everyone slowed down again, this time it was not a frontal attack, there was no need to shout, the commander gave a hint again, and everyone all lay down and slowly advanced! Everyone nodded, lay on the ground and continued to grope their way towards the city gate.
After crawling for about fifty meters, the twenty or so soldiers at the front suddenly smelled some strange smells, and before they could understand what it was, a special sound suddenly sounded in their ears [Bell Ring......! 】
As a Tatar soldier crawled, he did not notice a thin line in front of him, and the bell above it made a crisp sound when touched, and there was more than one bell on this thin line, and five or six bells made a sound together, paving a magnificent music for this dark night!
As soon as Zhao Xuanyi heard this voice, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Wang Yunchuan, Wang Yunlong, release arrows for me!" ”
"Yes!" The two Wang brothers lit two rockets, pulled the bowstring, and released the rockets in an instant!
"Not good!" As soon as the Tatar soldiers heard the bell, they knew that there was an ambush, and they were about to shout to retreat, when they saw two fiery arrows flying in the air like two fiery meteors, and before they could react, the rockets were already stuck on the ground!
And how did this group of Tatar soldiers know that the soil on the ground is now covered with tattered clothes that have been stained with tung oil, and the surrounding two hundred square meters of ground has been covered with this kind of oiled clothes! In an instant, the flames were blazing and boiling! The area with a diameter of almost two hundred meters had turned into a sea of fire, and nearly fifty soldiers of the Tatar advance force were all engulfed in flames!
For a while, there were constant shouts and wailing, and this group of soldiers were crawling and rolling on the ground, not knowing that they were stained with oil, and this burn could not be extinguished! Dozens of soldiers ran wildly in the flames, shouting for help as they ran, and if people who didn't know the situation thought they were dancing around a bonfire!
But seeing this group of people covered in flames, how dare the rest of the soldiers come to the rescue? They all retreated and avoided it, watching this group of people lying on the ground rolling and slapping, and finally being burned alive!
"Retreat!" At the sound of an order, the familiar horn of retreat sounded again, and the Tatar soldiers who had not been ignited fled quickly, for fear that the other party would bring people to intercept them!
And on the city wall, all the soldiers saw the situation below, they cheered loudly, they did not waste a single soldier, once again frustrated the Tatar army's spirit, this excitement can not be expressed in words, Zhao Xuanyi's strategy convinced all the soldiers!
Zhao Xuanyi saw the fleeing Tatar soldiers, he was so angry in his heart, he didn't want the soldiers to go down to kill the enemy, but these soldiers in his hands needed to use their fingers, otherwise they could kill at least half of the ones who came tonight, and now they could only do their best to hide their strength!
"Oh my God! Oh, my God! What's going on? How? It's so powerful, have you seen it, eldest lady? Lychee shouted excitedly.
Qinglian patted Lychee's head and gestured to Lychee with her eyes, that is Zhao Xuanyi, don't say good things!
And such a fire on the enemy army also made Li Hanyan excited, her eyes exuded excitement, and she said in her heart, this kid can! How did he come up with this trick? Without a single soldier dispatching, he killed fifty or sixty people on the other side, this kind of strategy, even the strategists around the father may not be comparable, right? What a god!
Thinking about it carefully, her face blushed, no, how could she think that? Isn't that a compliment on him? No, this must be the second time, no, the third time the blind cat touched and killed the mouse!
And the purple kite's eyes were full of shock, and he said in his heart, who is this Zhao Xuanyi? His reputation is notoriously unlearned, how can this be so powerful on the battlefield?
Zhao Xuanyi saw that the enemy soldiers under the city wall were no longer moving, and they should all be dead, so he spoke, "Tang Tianli, I order you to lead thirty people, go down now, make up all the enemy soldiers, and you can't leave a living mouth!" ”
"Yes!" Tang Tianli shouted loudly, "But the other party is just that little person, so you don't need to bring so many people, right?" ”
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "Naturally, there is another order, you take people two zhang away from the city, dig a trench for me, six feet deep and one zhang wide, you must dig it before sunrise tomorrow, otherwise tomorrow may be our death day, you must do it for me!" ”
"Yes!" Tang Tianli didn't even ask, the current Zhao Xuanyi was a god in his heart, as long as he could kill the Tatars, let him do whatever he wanted, "Brothers, put on tools and follow me down the city wall!" ”
"Wait!" Zhao Xuanyi called out to Tang Tianli, "I haven't finished my words yet, bury all the Tatar swords we have captured in the past few days in the trap pit, and put barbs, bamboo swords, and animal traps if they are not enough!" If there are not enough people, feel free to say to the city wall, it will be completed tonight! ”
"Yes!" Tang Tianli turned around and selected more than thirty people, all of whom went down the ladder to the city wall and began to work according to Zhao Xuanyi's instructions!
Shen Wei walked over and looked under the city wall, "Young master, what are you doing here?" ”
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "This technique can only be used once tonight, and the second time it won't work, Brother Shen, you should also go and rest early, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow!" ”
Shen Wei looked at the dark night in the distance, and there was worry in his eyes, "Are you sure that the Tatars will not attack again tonight?" ”
"Not anymore!" Zhao Xuanyi looked up at the sky, "The night is not good, the visibility is not high, the traps and horse traps on our ground are what they are most afraid of, and in the case of poor vision, their archers can't use their strength, the other party is not a fool, and if the sneak attack fails, it won't be used a second time!" ”
After listening to this, Shen Wei also nodded in agreement, "In this way, young master, you go to rest first, I'm here to watch, if there is really nothing to do, I will also go to rest!" ”
Zhao Xuanyi didn't push back, because Zhao Xuanyi was very confident in his plan, "That's it, Brother Shen has worked hard!" Zhao Xuanyi was really a little tired, and after finishing speaking, he went down the city wall and returned to his room, without taking off his clothes, and just lay on the bed to sleep!
Everything in the world has two levels, some people laugh and some people cry [Bang! Latour slammed it on the table, "What did you say?" A person didn't kill, and fell into a trap? ”
