Chapter 128 The fire that fell from the sky
.As soon as he saw that Zhang Chi was really going to fight the Hu army head-on, General Fang, who was directly under the governor of Yizhou, immediately stopped doing it: "Governor, the governor of Yizhou had a first statement at the time. The troops and horses of Yizhou were just creating momentum for the governor, and they could not be used to fight."
When Qin Bo heard this, his eyes were so angry that he was blood-red.
Now that the enemy is in front of him, everyone in Shu still has selfish intentions. The number of Hu soldiers is far superior to that of their own. If they cannot be combined together, how can they fight?
Zhang Chi had only less than 100,000 troops in his hands, and Yizhou's troops occupied 50,000. If these 50,000 people refused to kill the enemy, Zhang Chi could only face the 300,000 cavalry of the Hu people head-on with 300,000 infantrymen. How can this battle be fought?
When the generals of Yizhou saw that General Fang supported him, they also revealed their true greed for life and fear of death, and said, "Governor, you can't blame General Fang for this. The Hu army has 300,000 cavalry, and we have less than 100,000 infantry. The gap is so huge. Now the Governor insists on confronting head-on, how different is it to shake a tree with a sway?"
Qin Bo was furious when he heard this and shouted sternly: "Wordless words in front of the formation will shake the morale of the army. You should be killed!"
Qin Bo had already rushed forward and pinched the neck of the Yizhou general who had just spoken.
At this time, we should work together to fight against foreign humiliation. Who can not be angry when encountering such a general?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi waved his hand and signaled Qin Bo to put the general down, saying, "General Fang said it well. I did agree to the governor of Yizhou. The troops of Yizhou only help with the power and do not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
Qin Bo was still a little angry: "But..."
"Everyone has their own ambitions, why bother to force it?" Zhang Chi stopped Qin Bo again, turned around and said coldly: "If General Fang wants to contribute to the country, he will kill the enemy with us. If General Fang is afraid of death, I will not have to use your 50,000 troops."
I don’t need my Yizhou soldiers, but I want to see how you can use the remaining 300,000 to defeat the 300,000 cavalry of the Hu people! General Fang sneered: “Since the governor has already had a solution to the situation, it doesn’t matter whether my Yizhou soldiers will go to battle.”
"Okay," said Zhang Chi: "Since your Yizhou soldiers are unwilling to go into battle to kill the enemy, then stand by and how can we kill the enemy!"
Of course, the generals of the counties in Yizhou were unable to find it. They immediately organized their teams and accompanied General Fang to the distant mountain to station. Before leaving, the general in front clasped his fists and smiled at Zhang Chi, "Since that's the case, we are watching the governor's decisive battle on the distant mountain. I wish the governor a victory."
Although that's the case, General Fang actually looked more like watching Zhang Chi's excitement. He really didn't believe that Zhang Chi could annihilate hundreds of thousands of cavalry with tens of thousands of infantry alone.
The soldiers and horses in Yizhou were retreating one after another. Qin Bo looked worried when the remaining soldiers looked at them, but Zhang Chi was calm. Ding Yizhi persuaded Qin Bo and said, "The prefect of Qin should not be anxious. I see that my brother is calm and calm, so he must be confident."
Even though Ding Yizhi said this, he, including him, didn't know what Zhang Chi's gourd was selling.
Zhang Chi ordered people to set up formations along the mountains and valleys. Could it be that Mr. Zhang really has such great confidence to annihilate the 300,000 Hu people's army here in one fell swoop?
…
…
At night, Santong and other front troops were tensely guarded five miles away from the Hu army. Lian Santong was also nervous about the robbery camp at midnight.
At this time, soldiers came to report that Du Ximing came from the rear army and brought the use of the camp when the camp was robbed.
Santong felt strangely nervous. The robbery camp was a robbery camp. Isn’t it just that the cavalry risked their lives to rush into the enemy camp to fight, and they still used the things they used above?
After Du Ximing came, he saw that the so-called application items were baskets of bats and a large amount of tung oil.
Du Ximing explained Zhang Chi's plan in Santong's ear in a whisper. Santong became more and more happy as she listened. She couldn't help but pat her thighs and kept shouting: "Magic plan, a wonderful plan!"
Then Du Ximing conveyed Zhang Chi's order to Hanxiang and Zhao Qian, and said, "Santong led the cavalry to divide the camp at the third update. You two are in the rear. As soon as you see the enemy camp catch fire, you can beat the drum loudly. If you see the fire being curbed, stop beating the drum. Look for the northwest to escape, and someone will be able to take it back."
Then Du Ximing said to Santong again: "You lead the cavalry and set fire first. As soon as you hear the drum sound, you will start to rush to the ground formation. When the drum sounds stop, you will withdraw your troops immediately and escape into the northwest valley."
Zhao Qian and Hanxiang received the order, but Hanxiang was still worried about Santong. Although Zhang Chi's plan was wonderful, it had a dead knot. Santong only had three thousand cavalrymen. How could he approach the Hu people's barracks and set fire?
On the other hand, Santong was so happy that she kept comforting Hanxiang: "Sister, don't worry about me, my brother Zhang. My brother Zhang has taught me a clever plan to keep it safe. Just act according to the plan."
Santong first ordered the cavalry to use tung oil to make all the bows and arrows into rockets, and then each horse brought a large bucket of tung oil and a large basket of bats. At the third update, he went straight to the enemy camp.
In order not to alarm the enemy, all the cavalry were tied with horses, and quietly approached the enemy camp in the darkness of the night, hundreds of meters in front of the enemy camp, and used flints to ignite the bats in the basket one by one.
Zhang Chi caught many bats on the road, swept through several bat caves, and caught countless bats. Now each cavalry carries a large basket, and there are many bats in this basket, which are densely packed with hundreds of bats. There are still 3,000 cavalrymen with a total of 700,000 or 800,000 bats.
Except for the wings, these bats were covered with tung oil. After burning, the bats had no hair on their bodies. They burned them on their flesh as soon as they burned them, and they flew around in pain. In just a moment, seventy or eight hundred thousand bats on fire flew all over the sky, which was spectacular.
The reason why the bat wings are not coated with tung oil is that the tung oil will form a very hard shell after drying. If the wings are also coated with tung oil, it will affect the bat's flying.
In the dark night, millions of fire gambling came all over the sky, which really scared the Hu soldiers who were watching the night. Everyone was thinking: "What is this?"
No wonder they were surprised. How could so many things on fire suddenly fly in the sky? These things can fly, but they keep making "squeaking" sounds like mice.
Millions of fire bats flew across the sky, almost making the night light clear. Many of the Hu people were attracted by this "strange scene" and were amazed.
The bats have no hair, so they are of course painful when they burn, and they can't fly far. They fall down one after another, igniting many tents.
Before the Hu people could figure out what was going on, Santong rushed over with her cavalry as if she was lightning.
"Set the fire first, set the fire first." Santong shouted.
These three thousand cavalry are not ordinary soldiers and generals, they are all from poor families. The "poor families" enter the Taoist dynasty with martial arts. Of course, these people are all good at shooting rockets immediately, both accurate and fast. In a blink of an eye, they have rushed into the enemy camp and splashed the tung oil they brought everywhere.
Originally, the fire bats were falling everywhere in the sky, and now there was tung oil splashing everywhere. In a flash, the fire was unstoppable and burned wildly.
Han Xianghe looked for the potential behind him and suddenly saw this strange scene. He was stunned. How could they figure out what was going on? But at first, they saw countless firebirds suddenly appearing in the sky, and in a blink of an eye, the enemy camp was already in full swing.
After Zhao Qian's famous general, he had never seen this scene before and was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Still, she whispered sweetly: "The whole army beats the drum!"
At this time, the Hu people's army was still sleeping. They heard the sound of drums in an instant, but after waking up, they were even more frightened and were even more frightened. They could only see the fire burning overwhelmingly. There were still many firebirds flying around in the fire. Anything that landed would inevitably ignite another large area. In a blink of an eye, the fire was blooming everywhere in the Hu people's camp.
When Santong saw that the fire had already been completed, she was indeed as expected by Brother Zhang. She was overjoyed and shouted repeatedly: "The fire has been completed, don't set the fire, the whole team will concentrate on rushing!"
Three thousand cavalry gathered closely together, and Santong took the lead. The spearhead was pointed, and the three thousand cavalry rushed in a formation. Unfortunately, many of the Hu army were burned to death, and even the horses were frightened. Where could they have time to resist?
Besides, the Hu people didn't know how many people came to rob the camp. How could a few people make such a big fire be able to be able to make such a big fire? In a hurry, no one commanded them. All the soldiers and generals threw away their armor and were killed by Santong and three thousand cavalrymen and fled everywhere.
This series of accidents was just a blink of an eye. It didn't take long for the fire bats to be released from Santong to the Hu people camp to catch fire everywhere.
When Yao Shuode hurriedly came out, the Hu people's camp was already in chaos and asked sternly: "Who is General Peng Ye, what happened?"
Such a big change happened. But General Zhao Ye did not take any precautions, which was a death sentence.
The general who was patrolling the night was also confused. He couldn't figure out why so many firebirds suddenly fell from the sky. But now Yao Shuode asked, he had to bite the bullet and answer: "The fire fell from the sky, and the last general didn't know why."
"Fallen from the sky? How could a fire fall from the sky!" Yao Shuode's voice and expression were harsh.
The Nightmare General was almost crying, but the fire really came from the sky. He couldn't figure out how suddenly there was a firebird in the sky flying over and igniting everywhere. Could it be that the sky really wanted to destroy our army?
Yao Shuode has led his troops for many years, but he didn't believe that the fire would fall from the sky. He said furiously: "As a night patrol general, you have neglected your duties. The fire is so big that you don't see you organizing the fire to put out the fire, but you say that these nonsense confusing the morale of the army. How can you convince the public if you don't kill me!"
After saying that, the general was not allowed to distinguish it. Yao Shuode pulled out his waist knife and handed over it to rectify it.
What this night patrol general told the truth is that it was indeed a firebird falling from the sky. He had never heard of such a thing. He could not understand until his death, how could he encounter such a rare thing in a thousand years...
Organize and clean cloth.
