Taking advantage of the three-day withdrawal of the Mongol army, Zhang Yu and others mobilized the people of the whole city to help regardless of their hard work.

Those who had jars offered altars, those who had candles offered candles, and those who were powerful contributed their efforts, and the people who cut down bamboo and weaved Kong Ming lanterns were as many as 500 people. It can really be said that the whole people are preparing for war, so it is not shocking, but all the people don't know what the use of these things is in the military camp, and they secretly speculate about it.

Zong Zheng took seven Kong Ming lanterns of different colors from Zhang Yu, tied one of them with a rope to try the buoyancy of rising into the air after installing the altar, and found that the bearing capacity of Kong Ming lanterns was stronger than expected.

Later, on the sides of the seven Kong Ming lanterns, words such as "General Wang goes all the way" and "General Wang blesses Diaoyu City" were written, and candles of different lengths were installed and recorded in the book one by one.

The jars tied under the Kong Ming lanterns were filled with different weights of water, which were also recorded one by one.

It's night, the moon and stars are sparse, and the wind is clear and insects are singing.

Zong Zheng took Zhang Chi and a few guards to light the Kong Ming lantern and put it into the air, the Kong Ming lantern slowly rose into the air, and flew in the direction of the Mongolian military camp with the wind, and several people quietly followed all the way.

Before the red and yellow lights reached the Mongolian military camp, the lights went out and landed underground, Zong Zheng hurriedly ordered people to pick them up, and took the rest of the people to continue to follow the remaining Kong Ming lanterns.

When they followed to the stone mountain, which was very close to the Mongolian military camp, everyone stopped and carefully observed the Kong Ming lanterns flying in the sky, but saw that the white and green lights fell in front of the Mongolian military camp one after the other, and the other two lights flew out of the military camp.

After Zong Zheng saw it, he took Zhang Chi and the others back quietly.

The Mongolian soldiers saw the Kong Ming lantern flying in the air, looking at a ray of light in the sky, they were very curious, and the barracks were noisy for a while, Meng Ge heard the sound, and when he got out of the camp tent, he saw the lights floating in the sky, and immediately ordered people to follow, and several generals of thousands of households also walked out of the camp tent one after another.

After a few Kong Ming lanterns fell, several Mongolian soldiers picked them up.

At first, Meng Ge saw the lanterns in the sky, and his heart was quite uneasy, the soldiers picked up the Kong Ming lantern and brought it back to Meng Ge to see, Meng Ge saw the words "General Wang goes all the way" and "General Wang blesses Diaoyu City" and other words on the lantern, so he asked several generals beside him,

"You say, Song Jun, what are they doing here?"

Dong Wenwei said: "It can be seen from the words on the Kong Ming lantern that they are putting out the lantern to mourn General Wang, which may be the custom of General Wang's hometown, and his soldiers will handle the funeral according to the customs of his hometown in order to respect him." ”

Wang Dechen also echoed: "I have heard before that the Song people put Kong Ming lanterns to express their lovesickness, perhaps the people in the city remember Wang Jian." ”

When Meng Ge heard the two of them say this, he felt that he was too careful, and he couldn't think of any threat to himself from these broken lights, so he didn't care.

After Zong Zheng returned to Diaoyu City, he immediately took out the records of the white and green lights, and calculated the more accurate amount of candles and the weight of the jar.

Then he ordered someone to prepare everything according to the data such as fuel and candles. It can really be said that 'everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.'" ’

Zhang Yu heard that General Wang Jian had been able to get out of bed and walk around, and his heart was very happy, coinciding with tonight's grand event, thinking that he could not only make General Wang happy, but also let General Wang see the victory of the military and people in Diaoyu City, so he couldn't help but inform Wang Jian.

Wang Jian woke up and heard Mrs. Wang tell about Zongzheng's internal efforts to save himself, which can be described as a mixed bag, one is guilty for testing Zongzheng, the second is sincerely grateful for Zongzheng for saving his life, and the third is admiration for Zongzheng regardless of his previous suspicions. Now I heard Zhang Yu talk about Zong Zheng's strategy of burning the enemy's grain and grass without spending a single soldier, and he was even more amazed by Zong Zheng, feeling that Zong Zheng was really as Hu Shicong expected, and he was by no means an ordinary person.

The moon shadow is swaying, and the cool breeze is scolding.

Zong Zheng stood outside the city wall, closed his eyes and concentrated, stretched out his palm, quietly feeling the wind blowing through his palm, he was waiting, waiting for the wind speed and direction to become the same as last night. Since he practiced the Vientiane Renewal Divine Skill, his sense of touch of all things has become extremely sensitive, so his grasp of wind speed and direction is naturally more accurate.

The wind direction and speed were similar these days, and the Mongolian military camp stretched for several miles, even if there was a slight deviation, Zong Zheng also felt that most of it would fall into it, so although he was worried, he also had some confidence in his chest.

Behind Zongzheng were thousands of soldiers guarding the Kong Ming lantern, holding fire folds in their hands, ready to light the Kong Ming lantern in front of them when they heard the order.

Wang Jian asked Hu Shicong to find a wheelchair, sitting in a wheelchair with a thick coat on his body, he stared at the deep night sky, as if his eyes were full of anticipation of the light that was about to rise.

Mrs. Wang waited quietly beside General Wang, such a grand event, thinking of being able to wait with her husband, she felt a kind of happiness when she thought about it.

Everyone is looking forward to it, quietly waiting in anticipation, quietly looking forward to it.

Eventually, the wind began to stabilize.

Zong Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and said with great joy: "It's now, light the fire." ”

Zhang Chi, Zhang Yu, Li Zizhang and Zhu Quanyi behind them shouted loudly to the people in their respective rear columns after hearing the order,

"The whole army is on fire. ”

All the soldiers opened the fire fold together and lit all the candles in the Kong Ming lantern.

Zong Zheng shouted: "Release!"

All the soldiers collectively let go, and in an instant all the brightly lit Kong Ming lanterns slowly rose into the air under the floating heat, and the soldiers below looked up at the 'Ten Thousand Lights' rising above their heads, and they were all amazed by this spectacular scene.

Kong Ming lanterns rose higher and higher, and with the help of the breeze, large areas flew towards the direction of Shizi Mountain.

Zong Zheng looked at the night scene above his head, and thought to himself: "I really haven't seen such a scene, but it's a pity that such a spectacular scene can't be enjoyed with Xian'er, which is really a big regret in life." ”

After Wang Jian saw all the Kong Ming lanterns rising into the sky, he looked at the scene of the night sky being brightly lit, and couldn't help but be excited in his heart: "It's up." ”

Hu Shicong also said excitedly: "The old man is almost half of the ground, and he can still see such a spectacular scene, and realize such a smart person in the world, it is really a happy thing." ”

Wang Jian said: "Yes, I didn't expect that when my Diaoyu City was in danger, there was a person with outstanding literary and martial arts, this is really God bless the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Every household in Diaoyu City heard the noise and ran out, and when they saw the lights in the sky, they couldn't help but marvel, and they suddenly realized that this was the thing they had been trying to make these days, but they didn't know that behind these things was a reversal of war.

The soldiers in the city forgot their duties for a moment, and stopped to watch, just to see the beautiful and spectacular night view.

After a large group of Kong Ming lanterns rose into the sky, they went to the Mongolian military camp with the mighty wind, just like heavenly soldiers descending from the sky.

After Zong Zheng saw Kong Ming's lantern gone, he said to Zhang Yu and other generals: "A few eldest brothers can take a hundred elites to immediately set off to raid the Mongol army and directly take the camp of Meng Ge Khan." ”

As he spoke, Zong Zheng handed Zhang Yu a note and told him to open it again when he arrived at the Mongolian military camp.

Zhang Yu happily replied: "Okay, listen to you, when we come back, let's celebrate together." Then he went into the city to order his troops.

The Kongming lantern had just been lifted into the sky, and the Mongolian army could only see the lights over the Diaoyu City, but could not see the real thing, and some thought that the Diaoyu City was on fire, and everyone was talking about it for a while.

Meng Ge heard the sound and walked out of the tent, and Wang Dechen, Aktai, Baritu, Dong Wenwei, Dong Shiyuan and others also walked out of the tent.

They stared closely at the night sky above Diaoyu Castle.

As the lantern got closer and closer, the Mongol army saw more and more clearly.

All the Mongol troops were fascinated by this spectacular scene, and the soldiers who had been resting in the tents also stepped out of the tents and stared at the large Kong Ming lanterns flying overhead.

The more Meng Ge thought about it, the more wrong it became, thinking of the Kong Ming lantern he picked up the day before yesterday, he always felt that there was a conspiracy behind it.

Looking at the lights floating over on such a large scale, he felt that these things were by no means simply to mourn General Wang, but he couldn't think of what they did.

As the thousands of Kong Ming lanterns approached the Mongolian military camp, the lights began to dim, and all the Kong Ming lanterns began to fall with the wind.

Aware of the danger, Meng Ge hurriedly shouted, "All the troops are on alert." ”

After receiving the order, the whole battalion sounded the horn of vigilance.

As the horn sounded, all the Kong Ming lanterns began to fall one after another, and some exploded in the air, scattering sparks on the yurt, riding the wind, and the fire ignited in an instant.

When hundreds of Kong Ming lanterns were raised and fell, the fire rode the wind, and the Mongolian camp suddenly became a sea of fire.

Meng Ke looked at the scene in front of him and was immediately dumbfounded! He finally understood the purpose of these things, but unfortunately it was too late.

Wang Dechen saw a large number of Kong Ming lanterns going to the rear camp, immediately understood the intention of the Song army, and immediately led a group of soldiers and horses straight to the rear camp granary.

Just when the Mongolian army was in a panic, Ma Qian led 30 elite soldiers to ride into the rear camp, holding torches directly to the rear grain depot, and shouting loudly "burn the grain depot".

The Mongol army was caught off guard, busy fighting fires, and tired of fighting.

Meng Ge was worried that all the grain and grass would be destroyed, so he sent half of the guards around him to the granary to help.

After Zhang Yu saw half of the guards around Meng Ge leaving, he led the remaining seventy elite soldiers to ride fast horses, holding fire and thunder in his left hand and a knife in his right hand to go straight to Meng Ge's Chinese army camp, and Meng Ge's remaining guards desperately escorted him.

Dong Shiyuan and his uncle saw that Meng Ge was trapped, and personally led hundreds of guards to rescue him.

The soldiers led by Zhang Yu were all elite, and the Mongolian army was in turmoil, and Meng Ge sent half of the guards to support the granary, so Meng Ge was supported by a group of people and retreated, Zhang Yu approached Meng Ge several times and was desperately stopped by Dong Shiyuan.

Hundreds of elite soldiers took advantage of the chaos of the Mongolian army, riding fast horses like entering a no-man's land, killing the Mongolian army in fear, and the Song army on the horse was aggrieved for so long, I don't know how happy it is at this moment.

After a night of scuffle, the Mongol army gradually gained a firm foothold, and Zhang Yu saw that he had achieved major results, and if he continued to entangle, he would suffer a loss, so he decisively ordered to withdraw to the city.

The smoke of gunfire was not over, and the Mongolian military camp was in shambles, and the smell of burning was everywhere.

Meng Ge looked at the scene in front of him, angry, and worried for a while, and finally spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.
