Chapter 127 What is the use of bats?

.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish you a happy New Year, and I wish you all a happy New Year. The ostrich will give you a red envelope. Please give me two flowers, hehe.

Du Ximing successfully involved the main force of the Hu people in front of the river. Now that the Hu people are heading straight for Chengdu, Du Ximing's troops are limited and cannot be stopped, he has to plan to go to Pingwu first to meet with everyone before discussing. On the way, he saw Zhang Chi's army returning to rescue Chengdu, so the troops were merged into one place.

Chengdu is in danger now, and Zhang Chi marched rapidly, just to turn back to Chengdu as quickly as possible. At least he had to prevent the Hu army from capturing Chengdu. Otherwise, it would be difficult to seize it when the Hu army seized Chengdu and it would be more difficult to seize it.

The Hu people were indeed very skilled in rescuing the enemy with this move. Zhang Chi's army would return to rescue him. If he wanted to fight this battle, he would have to be on the plain.

Although Ding Yizhi already has the formation to fight against the Hu people on the plain, when the real confrontation is true, how could the Hu people wait for you to set up your formation and charge?

The so-called "no long-term plan" must have immediate worries. How to fight really makes the coach Zhang Chi, who is thinking about it.

"Infantry movements slowly. If they fail to set up their formation on the battlefield, they will inevitably suffer a great loss." Zhang Chi pondered.

Zhang Chi was right, and Du Ximing also said: "Only we set up the formation first and then lead the Hu people to break through the formation, there is still some chance of winning."

But how can we lead the Hu people to break into the battlefield?

Qin Bo suggested: "It is better to let the army set up its formation based on the favorable terrain first, and then use cavalry to rob the camp and lure the enemy to come and then fight to the decisive battle?"

Zhang Chi shook his head and said, "The Hu people have 300,000 cavalry, and our cavalry only has more than 3,000. How can we rob the camp from one to ten? How can we lure the enemy?"

Qin Bo had no good idea, and he was thinking hard. Ding Yizhi pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said, "It's already summer, and the weather in Shu is hot and dry. If it is accompanied by fire attack, it may be impossible to rob the camp in chaos."

Ding Yizhi just finished speaking, and everyone around him felt his eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. Zhang Chi couldn't help but nodded, but after thinking about it, he said with concern: "Zhou Lang had to use the help of the east wind to burn the Chibi in the past. Now there are many Hu soldiers and few people, how can we set fire?"

This is indeed a problem that everyone can't figure out.

If the formation on the plain is not enough to be arranged, the Hu people's cavalry will be too much to go to die. The current strategy is that only by giving the infantry a formation first, the cavalry will successfully rob the camp with lightning speed and luring the Hu people to come, and then there may be some chance of victory.

But if the opponent's 300,000 army wants to make his three thousand cavalry successfully robbed the camp, he must create some chaos for the Hu people. Setting fire is of course the best way.

But how can this fire be released? Is it really that everything is ready and only the east wind is lacking?

The army was walking in the mountains. Suddenly, there were many caves in the steep land of the mountain. Zhang Chi pointed to the caves and asked curiously: "Why are there so many caves in the mountains?"

Qin Bo was familiar with the geography of Shuzhong and replied: "This is the geography of Shuzhong. There are many caves in the mountains. These caves are hundreds of meters deep, which are naturally formed. There are thousands of bats living on the rock walls in many caves."

"Bat?" Zhang Chi had no intention of asking, but when Qin Bo said that, he suddenly came up with a plan: "General Qin, what oil can easily ignite?"

"Of course it's tung oil." Qin Bo thought for a while and replied, "Young Master should know about the vine armor? During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang went to fight against the Southern Barbarians. When he met the Southern Barbarian Meng Huo, he was wearing vine armor. This vine armor was first made of vine and then applied with tung oil. Once the tung oil was dry, it would form a hard shell, which was extremely strong and hard to enter. It's just a pity that the tung oil burned when it encountered fire, and finally Zhuge Liang defeated the vine armor army by fire."

When Zhang Chi heard that the tung oil was easy to ignite, he slapped his thighs violently, and Ding Yizhi smiled slightly: "Brother, did you think of a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zhang Chi nodded and shouted happily: "These bats are the key to breaking the enemy! Immediately send soldiers up the mountain to catch bats, the more the better."

Everyone didn't understand what Zhang Chi's move was intended. Chengdu was in crisis. Why didn't he speed up the march at this time? Instead, he suddenly wanted to catch some bats?

However, Zhang Chi ordered that everyone would split some soldiers to catch the bats.

Zhang Chi thought it was very difficult to catch bats one by one. When he saw those soldiers, he felt that he was too stupid. How could he use bats to catch them one by one? When would he catch them?

The soldiers first cut off some bamboo joints in the mountains and then ignited the bamboo joints in the cave. The bamboo joints were like firecrackers. In addition, someone drove them in the cave, and the bats flew in the cave in a scattered manner, but the entrance of the cave had already set a large net. It didn't take long to catch thousands of bats.

Zhang Chi was overjoyed and sent orders to arrest more.

Although Qin Bo and Du Ximing were very strange, the generals of the Shu counties under Zhang Chi were happy and sent their soldiers up the mountain to catch bats. In their opinion, catching bats is much better than fighting with the Hu people and killing them. They hope to catch bats here until the end of the war.

The army caught bats together, and in this breath, they caught tens of thousands of bats. Zhang Chi ordered people to empty various instruments and use them to hold bats, and asked Qin Bo to find a way to get more tung oil back.

“How much tung oil should be used?”

"The more, the better, the more, the better." Zhang Chi replied.

Qin Bo was a little confused from beginning to end, but since Zhang Chi ordered, he did not dare to delay it. Otherwise, it would be no joke to delay the military operation. He quickly found someone to go to nearby counties to buy tung oil.

A large group of people rode fast horses to buy tung oil in nearby counties. Because Zhang Chi said that more people would be better, these people bought all the tung oil on the market before they could stop. After buying the tung oil, there were hundreds of kilograms in total.

Zhang Chi was overjoyed and quickly ordered people to coat the bats with tung oil, without wings. He stopped until he painted all the tens of thousands of bats he caught. Then he ordered the soldiers to use various objects to carry bats and continue to march.

There are many mountains in the north of Shu, but there are a fertile plain in Shu. As soon as Zhang Chi's army left the mountainous area, it was already evening, and a front team of soldiers came to report that ten miles away, the Hu army had already seen.

It was less than ten miles away from the Hu army. If it was closer, the Hu people would launch a sudden raid, and the 300,000 cavalry would be unable to resist. Zhang Chi hurriedly ordered the front army to stop advancing.

At this time, we had just arrived at the intersection of the mountains and the plains, and there were some not-too-high hills in the distance. Zhang Chi ordered the entire army to set up a formation ten miles away from the enemy according to the mountain, and then ordered the front team Santong to prepare. At midnight, they used cavalry to rob the camp and lure the enemy to come here to fight.

Organize and clean cloth.
