Chapter 138: Fire Attack
"Marshal, I don't know what to learn from this king now," Zhu Yuzhen said with a smile on his face.
To be honest, he is very uncomfortable when he sees Hideyoshi Mawa now, and he always feels that he has lost face in front of the other party. Although it is indeed quite embarrassing in fact, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
Mawa Hideyoshi felt Zhu Yuzhen's psychology very clearly, but on the surface, he didn't move at all. There was neither comforting nor sarcasm, as if Yu Zhu Yuzhen didn't know anything about what he was doing.
"Lord Wang, Ben Shuai has been meditating hard for days, and I have thought of a way to break the city and want to discuss it with the prince" Mayu Hideyoshi looked heroic, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows.
"Oh, I don't know what the marshal thinks, let's talk about it together" Zhu Yuzhen smiled calmly, and covered up the embarrassment just now.
But in his heart, he was even more sure that Hideyoshi Mawa was sarcastic about his incompetence and had no way to take down the capital. Anger is anger, but after years of conspiracy to gain power, his city is also extremely deep, and he still needs the support of the ghost country now, so it is naturally impossible to tear his face with Mawa Hideyoshi.
"Today's battle, I see it all. The reason why the prince was defeated was not because of the improper use of troops, but because the defenders in the city were too cunning to come up with such a vicious strategy as using poison. And I'm sure this vicious ploy must have been made by Xiao Wuxie," Mawa Hideyoshi said solemnly.
Seeing that Mayu Hideyoshi said sincerely, without the slightest hint of teasing, Zhu Yuzhen's mood suddenly improved a lot. As Hideyoshi Mawa said, this battle was too embarrassing to lose. Is it defeated in the use of soldiers, but in Xiao Wuxie's conspiracy.
I have to say that Mayu Hideyoshi's words are very skillful, and he subtly compliments Zhu Yuzhen. and lowered his posture very low, Zhu Yuzhen naturally didn't know that half of the reason he did this was to numb himself, and then lower his vigilance against him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuzhen couldn't help but feel a little better in his heart, a smile regained on his face, and said with a smile: "What the marshal said is extremely true, just now you said that you thought of a way to break the city, please tell me!"
"Fire attack," Mawa Hideyoshi said solemnly!
"Actually, I still thought of this strategy from Xiao Wuxie's scarecrow. We can fight poison with poison, of course we don't have poison like theirs, but we can use the stone thrower to throw dry firewood and haystacks under the city. In this way, there is no need to worry about the city gates."
Zhu Yuzhen's eyes lit up when he heard the end. In the past two days, Xiao Wuxian was about to vomit blood, and he was thinking about a shame before the snow, and Mayu Hideyoshi's plan was exactly what he wanted.
Zhu Yuzhen is not a person who does not know soldiers, on the contrary, he is also a talented person with outstanding military talents. If this is not the case, how can he attract so many masters of the rivers and lakes to work for him, and even network the officials of the imperial court to his own command.
This requires not only strong control, but also the intelligence to strategize, which even Zhu Yujun, who is in a hostile position, has to admit. In terms of personal talent, Zhu Yuzhen and Zhu Yujun can be said to be evenly matched.
Early the next morning, Zhu Yuzhen was dressed in golden armor, full of spirit, and looked at the gate of the imperial capital with sharp eyes. The murderous intent in his eyes was awe-inspiring, and soon this city would be completely his own, Zhu Yuzhen said to himself over and over again.
Xiao Wuxie, Yu Ziqian and the others stood on the city wall, looking at the enemy soldiers under the city with burning eyes. But Zhu Yuzhen's army has not moved, and the silence of the entire battlefield is terrifying. Xiao Wuxie's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, as if he had a bad premonition.
But it didn't take long for him to know that his hunch was correct. Because Zhu Yuzhen's army was cracked, rows of stone throwers appeared in front of everyone. Dozens of soldiers pushed a stone thrower slowly approached the city wall, and stopped less than two hundred feet away from the city wall.
This distance is just outside the range of the bow and crossbow, and even the strongest bow and crossbow have a range of about one hundred and twenty zhang at most. However, the seat of the stone throwing machine is at least 150 zhang away from the city wall, and the range of the stone throwing machine is just about 180 zhang.
Seeing the groups of soldiers in pairs quickly carrying firewood and grass to the stone thrower, everyone's eyes were awe-inspiring. What they feared the most finally happened, and they were planning to attack with fire.
Since ancient times, fire and water have been merciless. Even if Xiao Wuxian and the others were wise and scheming, they could not be afraid of fire attacks, but the soldiers of the Ming army under them couldn't. Even the walls made of solid stone may not be able to withstand the burning of fires.
"Innocent, what should I do, they are going to set fire to the city" Hua Liuliu said loudly, even Yu Ziqian and Zhu Youzhu also moved their eyes to Xiao Wuxian at this time.
Since Xiao Wuxian came back, he has become the backbone of the entire Ming army, and the fact has indeed lived up to everyone's expectations. Xiao Wuxie's every strategy was surprisingly successful, and almost all of the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops died at his hands.
Xiao Wuxie's eyes narrowed slightly, and some evil smiles appeared at the corners of his mouth. glanced at everyone, and said loudly, "Don't worry, I burned more than half of their grain and grass that day, and now they are already sleepy and tired, and they will soon fall into a situation of lack of food, and now they are just desperately fighting back!"
Although everyone thought it was true, the worry in their hearts did not decrease much. As the so-called dog jumps over the wall, and Zhu Yuzhen's army is definitely much stronger than the dog, and if they fight back desperately, it will be a huge disaster for them.
If Zhu Yuzhen still wanted to attack the city with strong troops as in the past, they were not afraid. It's a big deal, like yesterday, let them taste the poison smoke.
But Zhu Yuzhen is not a fool, how can he be fooled again after suffering a loss. This time, he stopped his army two hundred zhang away to prevent this from happening.
"Innocent, that being said. But how should we deal with it now, if the fire really burns, I am afraid that the city wall will not last long, and then we will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the enemy" Although Yu Ziqian believed in Xiao Wuxie, he was still worried.
Arrogant and impermanence stepped forward and said proudly, "Childe, let me and Lao Tie go and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"
However, Xiao Wuxian did not agree, Ao Wuchang and Tie Le wanted to talk about personal combat strength, and he believed that no one on the other side could stop him. But after all, fighting is not a personal competition, and the three of them broke into the enemy camp that night and made a big fuss. Zhu Yuzhen must have noticed the existence of Arrogance and Tie Le, and it is impossible that he has not thought of countermeasures.
Although Xiao Wuxian was very confident in the two of them, he didn't dare to take risks. After getting along for so long, Ao Wuchang and Tiele are running around for their own affairs, and he has already regarded each other as his family. Although the two of them called him Gongzi in terms of title, in Xiao Wuxie's eyes, they were family, so he wouldn't let the two of them take risks easily.
"The order goes down and opens the city gate, and Feiyunwei follows me out of the city to meet the enemy" Xiao Wuxian shouted, and turned down the city with arrogance and impermanence.
Although the enemy gave Zhu Yuzhen's order, countless piles of firewood and grass flew overwhelmingly towards the city. In less than a moment, the city was filled with piles of firewood and grass. In less than a cup of tea, in some places, the firewood and grass pile is even as high as one.
Unfortunately, the firewood and grass were thrown, but they ignored the question of whether they had to send crossbowmen to fire the firewood if they wanted to set it on fire. In this way, those crossbowmen still need to enter the range of the Ming army's crossbows.
However, this time Zhu Yuzhen was indeed very smart, and the crossbowmen he sent were all masters of the Amaterasu Realm in his hands. Not only can they shoot their bows and arrows farther, but it is not easy for the bows and arrows of the defenders of the city to hit them.
However, just as Zhu Yuzhen's crossbowmen were rushing towards the city gate, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out of the city. The speed is unbelievable, and the person at the head is Xiao Wuxie.
After chasing souls and devouring souls out of the city, under the leadership of Arrogance and Tieler, the troops immediately divided into two routes. From the left and right, they rushed towards the Chinese army camp in Zhu Yu Town. And Xiao Wuxian is a gunman, and he is heading towards the banner of Zhu Yuzhen.
Riding on horseback, he bent his bow and arrows, and flew out with a whoosh. The target was directed at Zhu Yuzhen, Zhu Yuzhen was shocked, and the two masters of the Nine Grades of the Tianzhao Realm on the left and right immediately blocked in front of Zhu Yuzhen and pushed the sharp arrow away.
Followed by the second one, the third sharp arrow followed, and without the slightest deviation, all of them were aimed at Zhu Yuzhen. Although all the sharp arrows were blocked by Zhu Yuzhen's guards, he let out a cold sweat in fright. The speed of the arrow is extremely fast, and the sound of breaking through the air is really chilling.
But what shocked him even more was that Xiao Wuxian was still getting closer. It seemed that he wanted to attack his Chinese army array, and this idea immediately surprised him and shocked him incomparably.
Also shocked are Yu Ziqian and others, Zhu Yuzhen's Chinese army is the most elite around him, not to mention the tight defense, Zhu Yuzhen has many Tianzhao Realm masters around him, Xiao Wuxian went straight to the Chinese army camp so single-handedly It is tantamount to looking for death.
"Archer, release the arrow" Zhu Yuzhen stabilized his mind and suddenly gave an order.
With a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, Xiao Wuxian was so blind that he dared to attack his Chinese army camp alone, this was to find an opportunity to kill him, which was exactly what he wanted.
The archers who wanted to set fire to the fire had already run within range of their bows and arrows, and were just about to bend their bows and release their arrows. A faction of feather arrows had already flown over first, and they were all masters of the Amaterasu Realm, relying on the true qi of the body protection, and they didn't take the flying feather arrows seriously.
"Ahh
However, when the first man was killed by an arrow, they realized that this was not an ordinary arrow. But they realized it, and the deadly arrow had pierced through their bodies, bringing out a patch of blood.
The equipment for chasing souls and devouring souls was all carefully crafted by Xiao Wuxie, and the shoulders of the feather arrows were made of strange metals. If the other party is on guard, they may not be able to break their protective true qi at once, but if they don't pay attention to it, they can only make them have a long memory at a painful price.
