"Set fire to the city?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

A strange glint flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes, and he asked, "He Daoyou, can you elaborate?"

The scattered cultivator surnamed He Yuan, who was originally a small citizen in the Shengyuan country, had been living in mediocrity for more than 20 years when he was found to have cultivation qualifications.

However, thanks to the system of the Shengyuan Kingdom, it was quickly reused and became a master in the country.

At present, when he goes out with the army and sits in the army as an enshrinement, it is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions and pay homage to the prime minister, how can he miss it?

Immediately said a clever plan that he had come up with.

"I think that although the Qishui Pass is strong, but in the final analysis, it is just a projectile land in the mountain col, in order to create convenience, there are many wooden buildings, as long as the idea leads to the fire of the city, it does not take half a day's effort, those defenders will become rats in the hole!

The real trick is not in the fire, but in the smoke, and if we can use the smoke and put poison powder in the fire, we can smoke those people alive in the city!"

"Wonderful! He Daoyou, the city is indeed on a high slope, usually flooded, and it is difficult to find a place to climb nearby, but if the smoke is used, it will usually only go with the wind, as long as we can find the opportunity and use spells to blow him a wave, we will definitely be able to kill the enemy by surprise. ”

"Yes, the inspiration for this strategy must have been remembered by the enemy man's use of smoke, and his smoke cloud seemed to be quite heavy, and it was going down. ”

The two fellow cultivators who spoke were a little annoyed, why didn't they think of it?

He Yuan smiled and looked at Zhao Yi and the army commander with a bit of hope.

Zhao Yi glanced at him approvingly, but didn't say anything, but the army commander slapped the table: "Then try it." ”

He Yuan said: "Without further ado, just start it at night." ”

The commander of the army was slightly surprised when he heard this: "Don't you wait for the soldiers to recover? During the day, many soldiers were killed by the opponent's methods, and they still have no intention of fighting. ”

He Yuan said: "Marshal Mingjian, we have the advantage of the soldiers who can fight, even if there is an accident, we can prevent the other party from counterattacking, but if it drags on any longer, reinforcements may come at any time, and the same method will not work at that time."

To be honest, there is nothing mysterious about this plan, it is only useful when it is unexpected, that is, it is to launch when the other party is unprepared, and we have not tried to fight overnight before, and now we are just trying. ”

The commander was still a little hesitant, but when he saw He Yuan walking out, he volunteered: "In Xia Bucai, I have learned a few wind control spells with Qingfeng Sanren, and I happen to have the open sulfur powder needed for the plan, which is just in handy, and I am willing to infiltrate the enemy camp and carry out this plan." ”

He explained, and everyone realized that he had already decided to take the risk of infiltrating the city and setting it on fire, using his skills as a monk to carry out special operations.

It is difficult for ordinary buildings to be set on fire by ordinary methods, but if you pour fire oil and throw a fire pot, you can definitely do it, and if you add the poisonous powder and other substances he mentioned to produce poisonous smoke, it is enough to catch the other party off guard.

When the army of Shengyuan Kingdom went out to fight, there were a lot of oil, gunpowder, thunderbolts and other materials in the baggage, which would not be used normally, but if it could be used, it would never be stingy.

When He Yuan said this, he said to Zhao Yi again: "Zhao Daoyou, I'm ashamed, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to complete this plan, and I still need your help, or you can use Dunyun to help a little." ”

When Li Zheng boarded, the corner of Zhao Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

But everyone's attention was attracted by He Yuan's plan, and they didn't notice that his expression was wrong.

Under the candlelight, Zhao Yi laughed, with a little inexplicable meaning, and said generously: "No need, since this plan was proposed by He Daoyou, how dare I fight for merit, it is better for me to give Dunyun to Daoyou, and make a name for all Daoyou." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only He Yuan was surprised, but even the other two scattered cultivators and fellow disciples also showed surprise.

Li Zhen's body moved slightly, but he was thoughtful: "Is he discarding the relationship?"

He Yuan had actually coveted the Immortal Sect's disciple's retreat for a long time, but he had not made enough meritorious contributions and had not yet been able to win it, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this: "Is this true?"

Immediately realizing that it might be too rude to say this, he smiled again and said gratefully: "That's good, just lend me first, and I'll use it to cross the mountain next to me......"

Zhao Yi said: "Fellow Daoist, magic weapons and other things need to be sacrificed, and it is troublesome to transfer them to and from them, you don't have to be polite, although you can use them first, at most, after you have achieved success, you will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and subsidize me with some spirit stones." ”

When He Yuan heard this, he immediately stopped saying anything.

It is estimated that he also regrets it a little in his heart, how did he give it away just now, but how did it become a subsidy in a blink of an eye?

However, the borrowed statement was also put forward by himself, and he couldn't complain about others.

When the two monks heard this, they secretly envied themselves, with the help of the Cloud Escape Magic Weapon, He Yuan himself was afraid that he could complete it independently, and he had taken this credit, and it was not easy for others to share it with him.

After agreeing, the marshal also decided to let He Yuan try, in order to show his support, he didn't even mention anything like a military order, even if it didn't work, he wouldn't be held accountable.

From this incident, we can also know that the Shengyuan Kingdom is indeed good at discovering the initiative of scattered cultivation, and can make them proactive.

But Li Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at He Yuan, and found that the stench of rotting corpses on his body became more and more intense.

"Indeed, as he said, this plan is not very clever, but it is better than surprise!"

"If he really succeeds, it's really easy to be caught off guard!"

After a few moments, everyone parted and went about their jobs.

Zhao Yi and the two brothers needed to guard the army, and they were not busy with those people, but He Yuan immediately asked for the commander's warrant and went to the rear camp to receive supplies.

He specially emptied his bags and filled a bag full of all kinds of combustion-fueling things, fire oil, medicinal powder, etc., which was also an opportunity to get some benefits.

In the middle of the night, when Wan Lai was silent, he began to use the clouds to cross the mountain and sneak into the pass from the other side away from the battlefield, preparing to carry out his so-called clever plan.

He Yuan didn't know that at the moment when he fell into the city and was about to make a move, a figure quietly appeared from behind him, and suddenly the sword qi stabbed and poked him in the back of the heart.

"Ugh!"

He Yuan let out a muffled snort, like being struck by lightning.

With a hint of fear, he turned his head in shock, only to find that there was nothing behind him.

The night was deep, and the background of the distant mountains was like a thick black curtain covering the vision of mortals, but it could not stop the monk's gaze, and he looked around, still with a bit of ghostly light.

But there was nothing.

In the blink of an eye, another sword stabbed out.

This time, He Yuan finally became alert, reacted at the moment of the attack, and forcibly urged the guard to resist, but the last sword pierced deep and big, his consciousness had begun to blur, and his body lost blood rapidly and became cold.

The heart that had been punctured suddenly twitched violently, and as soon as the body was crooked, he fell to the ground heavily.

Li Zhen casually rummaged through the treasures he obtained, all of which were simple bits and pieces such as talismans and spirit stones.

The magic weapons have the pure gold flying sword distributed by Shengyuan in China, and the two pieces that Zhao Yi gave him Dunyun.

Li Zhen has now fished a sword bag from Xuanxin Peak, but it is inconvenient to carry multiple pieces at the same time, so he simply found a tree hole nearby and hid it for the time being.

He really didn't want to comment on this person's actions, but if he wanted to use the lives of the people of Xuanxin Country as a ladder to advance and seek a future for his meritorious service and reward, it was absolutely unacceptable.

Perhaps it is this reason that affects the cause and effect in the dark, allowing his thoughts to be revealed and form a foul smell.

Li Zhen didn't think much about this person's conspiracy at this time, and directly dragged the other party's corpse in the direction of the Shengyuan Kingdom camp.

Soon after, with a thud, this person's body fell heavily to the ground, alarming the soldiers of the Shengyuan Kingdom who had been aroused and were ready to take advantage of the chaos to attack at night.

As a result, when I looked closer, I was shocked.

"What an offering!"

"Why did He Worship die?"

Zhao Yi and the others quickly got the news and hurried over, but after seeing the wounds on He Yuan's body, they couldn't help but be silent.

"Hurt in the back of the heart, it was killed by someone hiding nearby from behind and suddenly attacking and killing!"

"This idiot said that he was going to conspire against others, but not long after touching it, he was killed like this!

"The other party has been on guard at all, and if he acts like this, he will throw himself into the net!"

Zhao Yi was secretly annoyed in his heart, He Yuan only lost his life, he lost a magic weapon for no reason!

......

There was nothing to say all night, and it was quiet until dawn.

Everyone came to the city wall to observe the enemy's situation as usual, and found that the Shengyuan Kingdom side once again set up a battle under the city, sending thousands of soldiers to prepare to attack the city as before.

Judging from the surface alone, it is difficult to find out the fact that the other party is missing a casual cultivator, and they usually live in seclusion, and if there is no accurate information, they don't know whether the other party is dead or temporarily transferred.

But after a while, Li Zhen saw that the situation had changed.

The soldiers stopped a stone's throw away, and instead of attacking as they had done before, they began to dig holes and piles, and then took something from the mule carts behind them, and quickly assembled them.

"That's a boulder cannon!" Lu Wencheng is general, and he immediately recognized what the other party was assembling!

"Immortal masters, these things are powerful, don't let them unfold, play to your heart's content!"

Li Zhen looked at it for a while, waved his hand and said, "Don't be impatient, their real purpose is not to use this thing to attack the city, but just to lure us out." ”

If this thing is really useful, the other party will use it a long time ago, and they will not wait until now to suddenly take it out and try it.

Moreover, the huge stone cannons assembled at the moment are only five units, and with the solidity of the city, they are not taken into account at all.

In general, this kind of siege weapon can still be called sharp in the absence of monks, and if the idle tulou and wooden fort are hit, it will collapse in a short time, but it is of little use to the stone city.

Moreover, if the monk makes a move, such a clumsy and heavy tool is simply a burden.

If you cut off the sword casually, you can scrap these things on the spot, and what can you do?

Sure enough, just when Li Zhen was thinking so, he vaguely saw Zhao Yi's figures stopping near the boulder cannon, looking like they were actively fighting.

Li Zhen had the confidence to rush down and single-handedly pick them out, but he understood that the current situation was not something that could be reversed by himself, it was too eye-catching, but it would attract unnecessary attention, so he simply did not fall for it.

He had made up his mind and held on here until the scheduled reinforcements arrived, and Xuan Xinfeng was ready to fully intervene in the strife of the mortal world.

But Zhao Yi and the others were obviously not prepared to make Li Zhen and them feel better, and after a while, several smoking things were thrown up, flying and smoking at the same time.

Li Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze stared in the direction it had been thrown from, thoughtfully.

"No, it could be a gas bomb in a wooden cage!" Lu Wencheng exclaimed.

"Don't panic, watch me shoot them down!" Zhou Cheng sneered and immediately struck.

He is also a good player among the three generations of disciples of Xuan Xin Peak, otherwise he would not have been sent down by the first batch to assist Li Zhen, and immediately spotted the direction where the object was coming from, and split it in the air from seven or eight feet.

All of them were scattered all over the ground, creating large billowing areas on the ground, but not many of them were able to fly into the city, causing actual distress.

With Zhou Cheng's ears, eyes and skills, as long as the number of trebuchets is small, these ammunition can be shot down as many as they come.

But at this moment, Li Zhen's eyes moved slightly, and he saw a hazy figure rushing up in the distance.

It turned out to be the army of the Shengyuan Kingdom that took advantage of the smoke and launched an attack.

"I see!" Li Zhen suddenly realized, and finally understood what the thought that suddenly flashed in his mind just now.

This is not a gas bomb at all, but an ordinary harmless pyrotechnic firework.

The other party was actually trying how to restrain Wu Shengxiang.

Li Zhen actually wanted to know whether this method had any effect, so he unscrewed the gourd and poured a large ball of Wusheng incense as usual.

In a moment, figures flickered in the smoke, and a group of people retreated, but soon, it seemed that someone had reappeared.

"No, there weren't too many people approaching just now!"

"I see!"

Li Zhen immediately became vigilant.

"They want to use the smoke to silence the smell and obscure the view, and trick me into wasting the incense to determine the limit of what it can do!"

This is an interesting idea, Li Zhen has only been able to obtain this incense for a short time, and he has not yet had time to find out its characteristics and scope of action.

After a while, the army finally rushed out through the smoke.

It can be clearly seen that the faces of the people in the front row are full of dazed and dejected looks, that is, they are in a state affected by Wu Shengxiang as they were a few days ago, but what is obviously different from before is that they are a little more clear at the moment.

Maybe he wasn't too willing to fight, so he had no fighting spirit, but under the dual effect of military orders and heavy rewards, he still reluctantly rushed up, choking and attacking at the same time.

After a while, ants, jumping gangs, archery and other techniques attacked the city wall.

The monk on the other side also took the opportunity to kill him, with a happy look on his face: "I finally found an opportunity!"
