Wheat straw can be used as firewood when dried, and can also be used as fodder for cattle and horses when chopped, which can be regarded as a kind of military material. However, there are many substitutes for this kind of thing in the mountains and wilderness, and the castle outline in front of it is also the time of the autumn harvest, so there is no shortage of local use. Shaowu has hoarded so much in this big camp, and the garrison here does not have so many cattle and horses to feed, if it is transported to the front line, the manpower consumed will be even less cost-effective, it turns out that it is waiting for Ruoshan to burn it.

Lin Xiao cast a spell, condensed the heat and ignited a clump of wheat straw, and was about to go to the warehouse to light a fire. Huwa waved lightly beside him, and saw that all the wheat straw was ignited in flames, and he flicked his fingers again, and the wheat straw piled on the ground was broken and scattered, turning into a rain of fire. The rain of fire swept through the air, and flew into the warehouses evenly and neatly.

Then the tiger baby clapped her hands and said, "It's done, let's get out of here." ”

Lin Xiao was dumbfounded, the two methods used by the tiger baby just now did not surpass the three realms of supernatural powers, but they were plain and strange, which was simply beyond Lin Xiao's imagination! It seems that if the mountain master wants him to follow this person, there are indeed too many things worth learning. Hearing the reminder, Lin Xiao came back to his senses, turned into his original body and flew into the air, and the tiger baby also left the warehouse.

The warehouse where the materials were stacked was inexplicably on fire, and once it caught fire, it would burst into flames, and the soldiers stationed there were of course alarmed. Although they did not understand why the order was given to take all the other supplies from the place, they had hoarded so much wheat straw, but they had the duty to guard and did their best to put out the fire.

However, the fire was too big and fierce to be saved, and it was difficult to even get close to the boiling heat, so the soldiers could only protect the barracks as much as possible from the fire. The barracks were saved, but all the storehouses where supplies were hoarded were burned down, and the sky-high fire burned until dawn before it gradually weakened, and almost half of the sky was red in the night.

......

Ruoshan and Bozhuang looked at the raging fire in the distance, the fire in the night sky. It can be seen from the walls of Hakukoma Castle, and it can also be seen from the outline of the castle of Xiangmuro Province on the other side of the water. Bo Zhuang said: "Lin Xiao has already succeeded, I don't know if anyone will come to pick us up?"

The military order of the Yama Commander was to surprise the rear camp of the Shaowu and burn the baggage hoarded in it. There are large water tanks around the storehouse, so that the guards can put out the fire in time, and the monks stationed there can also cast spells to extinguish the fire. Under normal circumstances, Ruoshan would take advantage of the night to suddenly enter and send an army formation to start a melee with the garrison and the defenders, while another army would take the opportunity to rush in and set fire to it.

It would not have been possible to burn down the entire treasury of the great camp, but if it did, it would have been done. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back.

Of course, Yue Geng didn't know in advance that Ruoshan just sent Lin Xiao to set fire, and there was a tiger baby over there to help, and the surprise attack plan was formulated according to the two army formations to break into the camp. Although they were sent to death, it could not be said explicitly, and of course they had discussed in advance how to accept their withdrawal.

Yue Geng sent a raft to drift upstream to the designated location of Ruoshan, and a sergeant held a huge shield to resist the arrows of the pursuers. After the army formation of Shanshui City succeeded, they retreated here, jumped on the raft and left.

Ruoshan used a method that no one expected, and really burned all the materials hoarded in the camp, but the two military formations of Shanshui City did not attack the military camp. One group crossed the water, and the other remained on guard on the other side. Looking at this, Yama Ye is not only guarding against the pursuit of Hakukoma Castle, but also guarding against the movements of the Xiangmuro Country.

The light of the fire at night or the smoke and dust of the day is the signal. If the military camp in the rear received an order, they should send someone to meet the retreat of Ruoshan and others when they saw the signal. But they waited until dawn came, and there was no movement.

At this moment a big man who was wet came up to the top of the hill, and he swam from the opposite bank. It was Shu Zhuang. Shu Zhuang saluted Ruoshan and said, "Master Shan, I will follow your instructions and look at the high place on the opposite bank. There was no movement around. There was no one upstream to pick it upstream. ”

Bo Zhuang scolded hatefully: "Yue Geng sent us to cross the river and attack, but he really didn't plan to let us go back. ”

Ruoshan smiled: "Isn't it better to be able to come back or not, and it is his choice whether to send someone to answer or not." It's almost dawn, so let's cross the river and go back." Walk slowly upstream along the riverbank, trying not to be spotted at first. By the time we go back, the first line of defense of Yuegeng's army may have been breached by Shaowu. ”

......

Huwa took Lin Xiao back to Feihong City, and Shaowu was overjoyed and appointed Lin Xiao as General Feichong and Pan Gu's deputy general. Zhu Sanxian also got his wish and became a general, and the young man gave him two choices, either as Lingbao's deputy general, or as a deputy general like Lin Xiao.

Lingbao will not go to the front line for the time being, but only follow the rear of the army to collect and appease the captured soldiers, this pig-headed man is quite greedy, pondered for a long time and said: "I have not been on the battlefield before, first follow Uncle Panyuan to hone on the front line, and learn the art of war while fighting." In the future, when Senior Brother Lingbao leads a large army into the Zheng State to fight, I will serve as Senior Brother's lieutenant general. ”

Huwa was noncommittal, and Shaowu nodded with a smile: "Okay, well, it should be like this to raise war and train soldiers with war." ”

Pan Gu was the forward general, Zhu Sanxian and Lin Xiao were the deputy generals, and then led the army to attack across the water. Lin Xiao's main task is not to charge on the battlefield, and Huwa also told him that he must not reveal his identity lightly, otherwise he will become the target of the other party's key hunting, and he is responsible for spying on the military situation and transmitting the most important emergency battle reports.

Before Shaowu and Huwa left Feihong City, they also made a special visit to Xinlan. Xinlan wanted to invite the tiger baby to the house as a guest, but the tiger baby had already left, and now she finally had the opportunity to meet, but she didn't expect it to be in such a situation.

Xinlan is regarded as the number one master in the original Feihong City, a national worker with the cultivation of the Five Realms, it is impossible not to be taken seriously. She didn't do anything when the Shaowu army entered the city, and at that time, the soldiers and civilians in the city had no fighting spirit, even if she wanted to stop Shaowu alone, she couldn't do anything, not to mention that she might not have this idea.

Shao Wu took the initiative to visit Xinlan, on the one hand, to show respect and comfort the famous person, and on the other hand, to find out the attitude of this person. It must be known that Xinlan did not leave when the army arrived, and still stayed in the city to live. If the army of Shaowu crossed the river and marched westward, if this person made a move in the city, she would not please herself, but she could still cause great damage.

No matter what he thought in his heart, he still had to give enough effort in terms of face, and the young man came to visit, expressed his respect for this master, and marveled at Xinlan being so young and beautiful, which made him admire and admire, and then gave him a valuable gift.

Xinlan also praised Shaowu, probably young and promising, a generation of kings and exemplary people, and said that she had always regretted that she had not seen the tiger baby back then, and now she is finally lucky. She also said very clearly that she was relieved to stay because her home was in Feihong City, and she had heard that Shaowu had marched into the army and had no offense against the people.

Xinlan claimed to be just a Qing cultivator, and she didn't want to get involved in the clan dispute, as a national worker, she did everything she did on weekdays to benefit the people. Now that she has seen Shaowu and Huwa, she is relieved about the situation of the people of Feihong City, and thanks to the monarch for not letting the people suffer from the war.

Shao Wu expressed his greetings to Xinlan's master, Mr. Gu Ling, the sect master of Gu Xiongchuan, and said that he had sent an envoy to send an offering to Gu Xiongchuan. Xinlan replied that she would leave Feihong City tomorrow to go to Guxiongchuan, cultivate in the sect for a while, and convey the greetings of Ba and Peng Keng's family to Mr. Gu Ling in person.

These sound like polite words, but Xinlan has already made her attitude clear, and she is very interested, and she wants to take the initiative to leave the city and return to the mountains to avoid suspicion. In the future, whether it is Bamuro Guosheng or Xiangmuro Guosheng, it will not have much impact on Xinlan herself.

But before Shaowu and Huwa said goodbye, Xinlan couldn't help but speak: "Ba Jun is benevolent and brave, the national ritual luck is added, and with the help of masters like Lord Peng Keng, this war must be peaceful in the near future." I also witnessed what happened in Feihong City, and even Lord Hongyuan and Ba Jun did not add to the crime.

My Taoist Xiling, the current Xiangmuro Guo Caifeng Lord, also listens to orders under the command of Xiang Qian, if one day he is captured by Ba Jun, I hope Ba Jun can also treat him leniently. ”

Shao Wu said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr.'s Taoist companion is Lord Xiling, and this is not the first time I have heard this name. Not long ago, someone recommended Lord Xiling to me, saying that he is well-informed and a rare talent. ”

Xinlan was taken aback and asked, "Who recommended Xiling to Ba?"

Shaowu couldn't say Ruoshan's name directly, because he saw that Ruoshan's matter was still secret, so he replied with a smile: "It's Lord Peng Keng next to me." ”

......

After Shaowu arrived on the west bank of the water, Lin Xiao sent back a map from the front line. This map was originally given to him by the young man, and it marked the topography, rivers, castles, villages, and various checkpoints and passes in various parts of the Xiangmuro country ahead. Lin Xiao added something to it, that is, the deployment of the various military formations of the Yuegeng army, as well as the current position of the reinforcement army coming from the rear and the direction of travel.

Of course, the more timely this kind of information, the better, if too much time has passed, and by the time the junior affairs see the information, the real situation of the frontline may have changed. With Lin Xiao's speed and talent, whether it is reconnaissance or reporting, he is undoubtedly the fastest. Shao Wu immediately formulated a battle plan and chose the weakest point of the Yuegeng army's defense line as the main direction of attack.

But Shao Wu's plan did not have time to be implemented, the shape on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the first encounter with Yue Geng's army was not carried out according to this plan.

......

Yue Geng received the battle report, the army formation of Shanshui City crossed the river and successfully attacked it, and the baggage battalion of the young man in the rear of Baiju City was still thick with smoke at night, and it could be seen from far away on the other side of the water.

Yue Geng was overjoyed, his purpose was only to harass the enemy's rear, but he didn't expect to achieve such a great success! Ruoshan has made a lot of meritorious contributions, but unfortunately those people in Shanshui City have not been able to come back. He had already calculated how to explain it in the future, it was a clever plan set by himself, and the reason why he did not send someone to answer it was because the front and the Shaowu army had already engaged in battle, and it was necessary to gather heavy troops to destroy the enemy.

As long as Yue Geng wins this battle, it will be easy to say anything in the future. (To be continued......)
