Chapter 457: Burning Grain and Grass (4)
Shang Yunfei didn't leave after burning most of the grain and grass of the former corps, his goal was all the grain and grass, so now he turned back and stared at the grain and grass that was used as bait, anyone with a discerning eye could see that now those grain and grass as bait were the only and last straw for this reinforced brigade, as long as they burned all of them, even if the commander of the army was unwilling, he had to withdraw the army, because the soldiers could not be allowed to fight hungry, even if they were willing to fight, the combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly reduced, This is not only Shang Yunfei knows, but the general knows it even more, so he immediately strengthened the garrison here, not only the garrison of grain and grass, but even the road between the barracks and this side of grain and grass has also strengthened the defense, which can be described as airtight, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, it is said that it is a person, even flies can't fly over.
Who is Shang Yunfei? That is the cultivation master of the Transformation Realm, this problem is not difficult for him at all, on the ground they are tightly defended, but the biggest loophole is under their feet, in their opinion, there is no danger that can emerge from the ground, but for Shang Yunfei, this is not a problem, but he has had the experience of failure once before, so this time he also learned from that experience, he found that as long as he is controlled by the yellow circle, he can't control it remotely, so he decided to do the opposite.
After a morning of preparation, when the soldiers of the former corps came to receive the noon food and grass supplies, Shang Yunfei acted, he first used the earth element to open a lot of passages under the ground, and then put his work that is, ants into the passage, and then began to control the ants through the underground passage to the well-guarded passage, when someone passed, Shang Yunfei let the ants attach to the shoes and pants of those people, because these ants are made of earth elements, So after the attachment was more like a mud spot, the inspector ignored this important detail, let those people in, and soon the soldiers came to the vicinity of the yellow circle with the ants, and after opening a hole again, they walked into the yellow circle, at this time Shang Yunfei, who was in the distance, immediately commanded the ants to land and then climbed to the grain and grass pile to hide.
Soon the soldiers prepared everything, and then left the aperture range and merged the aperture, at this time Shang Yunfei felt that he could no longer control those ants, but this was exactly what he wanted, the ants that lost control began to disintegrate one after another, and the small flames contained in their bodies instantly ignited the nearby grain and grass, and the fire burned at once, and quickly turned into a skyrocketing fire, at this time, the surrounding soldiers also reacted quickly, but they had no way to get close, So the yellow circle that was originally used as a defense became their biggest obstacle, there was no way, fortunately, those who came to get things did not go far, and were soon called back, and then opened the aperture, and the soldiers quickly rushed in and began to extinguish the fire, this time because they were prepared, so the fire was extinguished quickly, but even so, nearly half of the grain and grass were directly burned, and the general who heard the report also rushed over.
Now the general's mood Shang Yunfei can imagine, it must be that he even has the heart to die, even the general himself has not figured out how the two fires were lit and why they burned so quickly, but the current situation is no longer allowed to think about it, this side is closer to the barracks, many soldiers have already seen the flames burning here, there is no way, this matter can no longer be hidden, plus the amount of breakfast in the morning has been reduced, and now the barracks are already full of rumors, and the military heart is unstable.
This general is also powerful, he has no way to retreat now, and it is obviously too late to wait for the grain and grass transported from his city, he took a look, the grain and grass here can still hold out until dark, and the grain and grass on the opposite side is very sufficient, even if he can't grab them all, but as long as he can meet the minimum consumption of the soldiers, he can only have one chance to act, and if he fails, he can only retreat, so he must make a break after nightfall today.
Shang Yunfei saw that he had succeeded, so naturally he would not continue to stay here, so he repeated his old tricks, sank to the ground again, and then returned to the barracks on his side, in order not to cause panic, he also deliberately chose a remote place to come out, and then dusted off the soil on his body, and went to find Wang Lun to recover his life, at this time Wang Lun naturally also heard the report of his subordinates, this time the observation post saw it clearly, the fire was vigorous, he hurriedly told Wang Lun the good news, After Wang Lun heard the news, he immediately came to the sentry tower, and the former corps had already controlled the fire at this time, so Wang Lun only saw the smoke, not the flames.
Just when he was still watching, someone came to report, saying that General Shang Yunfei asked to see, Wang Lun knew that Shang Yunfei had finished the work, so he immediately returned to the Chinese military tent, only to see that Shang Yunfei was already sitting here drinking tea, Wang Lun walked in with a smile, Shang Yunfei saw it and quickly got up, etiquette in this military camp is still very important, but Wang Lun was happy, grabbed Shang Yunfei, and quickly asked about the situation.
Shang Yunfei naturally did not hide it, and recounted the matter one by one, Wang Lun was even happier, now that his side had finally reversed the situation, his side had completely grasped the initiative, but after hearing that the last fire did not burn all the grain and grass, Wang Lun was a little worried.
"It's not burned, how much is left?"
"General Hui, according to the last general, there are still half of them."
"Half of them!" Wang Lun thought for a while, and immediately called Zhao Jie and other generals to the Chinese military tent to discuss matters.
After everyone arrived, Wang Lun began to arrange, "According to the news fed back by General Shang, the former corps opposite us has a reinforced brigade, which is equivalent to close to two brigades, and now their grain and grass should be left after the fire that broke out last night and this morning, and now they only have two choices, one is to withdraw the troops, and the other is to come and rob the camp, which of these two results will happen, there will be results tonight, so we must take precautions." ”
Wang Lun paused, the generals looked at each other, and soon turned their attention back to Wang Lun's side, Wang Lun saw this and continued: "Our relationship with Sunset City is very delicate now, although it is a confrontation now, but no one is attacking anyone, so the first side to start a war will definitely lose, what we do now is to respond to all changes with the same, if they choose to withdraw their troops, then we can't pursue, but if they choose to rob the camp, then we can launch a counterattack, So I'm going to reassign the task now, and the generals will obey the order! ”
As soon as the generals heard this, they all got up and faced Wang Lun's direction, and Wang Lun followed closely and began to arrange, "Where is the vanguard general?" ”
The two pioneers stood up and bowed, and Wang Lun took out the military token, "This general ordered you two to command the vanguard light cavalry of 200 people to ambush in the camp, listen to my orders, and chase and kill the enemy!" ”
The two pioneers respectfully accepted the token, and Wang Lun took out another token, "Where is General Zhao Jie?!" ”
When Zhao Jie heard this, he stood up, and General Wang Lun handed over the order, "This general ordered you to lead a hundred soldiers to ambush on the right side behind our military camp, if you see enemy soldiers passing by, don't be alarmed, and wait until the battle starts, your 100 soldiers will directly block the road for them to retreat from the right side, only defend and not attack." Zhao Jie took the military order.
Wang Lun took out another military order and called out Shang Yunfei, "This general ordered you to lead a hundred soldiers to ambush on the left side behind our military camp, if you see enemy soldiers passing by, don't be alarmed, and wait until the battle starts, your 100 soldiers will directly block the road for them to retreat from the left, only defend and not attack." Shang Yunfei took the order and took the military order.
Wang Lun took another look at the ten cultivators brought by Zhao Jie, they were the main force in this battle, Wang Lun let the four cultivators who were originally in charge of the grain and grass armament still be in charge, but the number of soldiers increased, from ten to fifty, that is, two hundred, and let the cultivator in charge of transportation immediately lead the team to set off and go to Dongling City to report and receive grain and grass. The remaining five cultivators led the remaining men and horses to stand by in the camp and provide support at any time.
After Wang Lun finished arranging everything, the generals went back to make their own arrangements, taking advantage of the time and wealth, Wang Lun called Shang Yunfei, and the two worked together to seal most of the grain and grass on their side, and used the power of the earth element to transfer it to a safe area, leaving only a small part of the grain and grass over there, and at the same time strengthened the defense, as for where to transfer, except for Shang Yunfei and Wang Lun, no one knew at all, and no one guarded, so no one would find out at all.
Wang Lun was busy here, and the former corps on the opposite side was not idle, and the general had already decided to rob the camp at night, so arrangements were also made for this purpose, and the first thing to send was the scouts, that is, the scouts, he scattered all the scouts in the team, reconnoitred the enemy's movements, and then broke the cauldron and let the attacking soldiers have a good meal, this is really the last fight.
The two sides began their own preparations, and the two sides began to compete in secret, Wang Lun's side seemed to be passively defensive, but in fact, he was accumulating strength, as long as the opponent made a move, the five cultivators and soldiers he stayed in the camp would not go to support but directly kill the battalion of the former corps, after all, they don't have any worries now, as long as the opponent dares to make a move, then the one who suffers will definitely be the opponent.
