The original army was transferred from the "Xinzheng" battlefield. The problem was that the Chu army's sudden process seemed very strange. The original army was blocking the attack, but many defenses were not fully utilized.
For example, the original army only needed to arrange some troops behind a ditch. With these troops blocking the way along the ditch, the Chu army could not easily cross the ditch.
What now? The original army had organized an arrow array to block the attack, but later only the crossbowmen in the walled city were left shooting arrows. Where did the rest of the original army go?
Zong Lou couldn't guess what Yuan Jun wanted to do for the time being. The situation seemed to be progressing smoothly. Maybe it was the illusion Yuan Jun wanted to create for Chu Jun.
"The enemy has prepared so many soldiers on the high platform. Even if the original country has no shortage of soldiers, how can it be wasted?" From this point alone, Zonglou could tell that something was wrong.
The Zhi clan of the Yuan Kingdom took the lead in breaking through the research on evil metal, and indeed there is no shortage of excellent armor.
With sophisticated armors, don’t we need people who can make full use of them?
Zonglou knows too well how to train an elite person!
The battlefield was in chaos. Chu Junzhong did not show his royal flag when he broke through. It must be quite difficult to know where he is?
"General, I'm waiting to find this thing in a cave."
A soldier brought a clay pot filled with kerosene.
Seeing the kerosene in the clay pot, Zong Lou's thoughts suddenly opened up, and he subconsciously looked around again. The numerous firewood, straw and other flammable materials that he had ignored before seemed so dazzling after making relevant guesses.
"General, there are original troops hidden in the cave. We waited for more than 20 casualties before we killed five."
What the visitors didn't say was that they didn't dare go deep into the cave at all.
In this way, I didn't accidentally discover the former army's material storage point.
Now, many things can be connected in series!
Why are there so many flammable things around?
Almost no trace of the original army can be seen in the wilderness.
A deep trench about five meters wide was dug around the walled city built by the former army.
Zong Lou's face suddenly turned pale, his lips trembled, and he said: "Withdraw! Withdraw into the city!"
A large number of Chu troops were rushing forward, and Zonglou's team, numbering about three thousand, was going against the current.
They did not run while shouting that the original army had laid a trap and would use fire attacks.
The reason for not shouting is too practical. If you shout, it will easily cause panic and confusion. Everyone will run in the direction of "Xinzheng". It is too easy to block the city gate in order to survive and fight for the road.
At this moment, Ziguo had arrived near the seventeenth ditch, staring at the empty space in front of him, feeling too much confusion in his heart.
"There must be a trap! They want to let us break through the defense line and choose an ambush somewhere, right?"
"Or maybe the original army is hiding behind the high slope and I can't see it?"
"Or is it that the Song army was able to fight among the new reinforcements and contained too many original troops?"
Ziguo speculated for a while, but he did not expect that the Yuan army would set fire to it.
It’s really not the fault of Ziguo. There were no relevant war cases before. It was not as lucky as Zonglou. No one found the cave where the original army and the fire oil tank were hidden, or the discovery was not reported to Ziguo.
As for flammable materials such as firewood and straw, they existed when the original army built the launch line.
It's really easy for people to ignore certain things if they are left there for too long. Only after those things are put into use will they feel that they were stupid enough to have seen them but ignored them.
Sun Ming, who was in charge of commanding the three cities, looked up at the position of the sun.
Now, the Chu army has attacked the seventeenth line of defense. Judging from their crazy energy, Sun Ming knew that the higher-ups still underestimated the potential of the Chu army in order to survive.
According to the expectations of the senior officials of the Yuan Kingdom, in terms of time, the Chu army should have only reached the fifteenth line of defense.
"Commander of the Brigade, an enemy force is returning to Xinzheng."
Sun Ming was reminded that he saw Zonglou's team going against the current, and his expression couldn't help but change.
A little abnormality on the battlefield means that something has changed, and it is never wrong to consider the development of the situation for the worse.
Sun Ming is the son of Sun Wu. Even if he is the second son, he has been exposed to some influences since he was a child, and his sensitivity will be higher than those who lack family inheritance.
"Put up three red flags!"
This is a pre-arranged signal.
Once the fire attack plan is in danger of being exposed, you can raise three red flags and ask for instructions to launch early.
On one side, Sun Ming paid attention to this team in Zonglou, and on the other side, he paid attention to somewhere in the military camp outside the defense line.
The nearby walled city saw three red flags appearing in Sun Ming's building. The officers in charge also began to pay attention to the outer military camp. At the same time, they ordered the soldiers to bring the brazier, and the arrows that had been wrapped in cloth and soaked in grease were also
Moved out.
Not long after, three red flags also appeared on an arrow tower in the military camp, but they appeared larger than the flags in the walled city.
Sun Ming received a reply and ordered a new flag to be hung. He took a deep breath and began to scan the surrounding cities.
It's just that it's useless if their camp is ready. The other castles must be instructed to hang up the flags indicating readiness and activate them together to make the trap more effective in an instant.
On a ground filled with wood and fuel, the wooden boards sealed with soil were moved away, revealing the figures of two former soldiers.
Later, three more former soldiers appeared.
There was too much wood, but the cave was hollow. They could not see what was going on outside, and it was difficult for people outside to see through the wood that there was a hollow inside, and soldiers from the former army were hidden there.
"Pour some oil quickly and then return to the cave to transfer!"
Only one person can be allowed in and out of the cave at a time. The hollow area should be about two square meters, but the height is only a little over one and a half meters, which can allow two former soldiers to squat and work.
After they had done everything, they returned to the cave through a passage about two meters deep. While covering the sealing board, they also pulled out several iron shields to seal the passage.
The cave should be about four square meters? You can see a corridor on the left and right sides, which can obviously lead to other caves. Looking at the torches that are lit and mounted on the wall, its flames will swing slightly, and it is obvious that there is a corridor inside the cave.
It's ventilated.
The sequence is that Sun Ming asks for instructions first, then each city wall begins to prepare, and then the former soldiers hiding in the caves come out to pour fire oil, right?
Then there is an underground passage under the battlefield, and it is connected to the walled city!
Ziguo saw the original army's military camp with flags hanging out.
The three flags were so bright red that it was hard to ignore them.
Ziguo's whole body froze when he saw it. There were too many thoughts in his mind in a very short period of time, but because there were so many thoughts, he couldn't get back to his senses at all.
The current situation is that no matter what the original army wants to do, it must be used against the Chu army.
If Ziguo can't even understand the simple truth, his life will be in vain.
What is more realistic is that Ziguo thought a lot, but still did not expect that the original army would use fire attack.
On the other side, the Zonglou who had arrived at a city gate in "Xin Zheng" was calling the door. After being reminded by his subordinates and seeing the bright red flag hanging on the original army camp, he started to call the door more urgently after being agitated.
When Handa learned that the Chu army had gone and returned, he came over in person. He leaned out to recognize Zong Lou and asked loudly, "Why did Master Zong leave and return?"
If Chu Junzhong or Ziguo came over, Handa would order the city gate to be opened without saying a word.
What is the impregnable "Xin Zheng" afraid of most? What they are afraid of is being pulled out of the equation!
It was the Zonglou who came, which really made Handa more cautious.
Why? Just because Zonglou is from Qi State, and Qi State has been annexed by Yuan State, no one can be 100% sure whether Zonglou will be bought by Yuan State.
Zong Lou knew that he could not say that the original army had set up a fire attack trap, otherwise their troops that had withdrawn from the battlefield would be deserters, and it would be almost impossible to get in.
"My king left something behind, and ordered Lou to come and retrieve it." Zong Lou could only say this.
Handa was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What kind of object is it? I can send someone to get it for you."
The Chu army retreated hastily, and it is entirely possible that they left something behind.
Zong Lou was very anxious, and he knew better than to act anxious. He thought to himself: "Sure enough, it is so difficult to be a stranger in another country after the mother country has been annexed!"
In fact, if he thought about it personally, Zong Lou knew that he would also be careful. How could he easily open the city gate during war and let in troops that he could not trust 100%.
"We don't need all of our troops to enter the city. We only need twenty people to collect the items. Please open the door, Zheng Zhengqing!" Zong Lou shouted.
There was no sound from the city wall.
When Zonglou turned his head, he saw rockets being fired from a certain walled city, and his heart couldn't stop sinking. He thought: "It is indeed a fire attack. Once the original army's fire attack starts, it will be impossible for Handa to open the door."
It’s over now!”
Fortresses belonging to the former army were firing rockets outwards, hitting flammable objects and quickly igniting them.
After a fire breaks out, the fire will definitely spread and burn the wood that has been poured with kerosene. The fire will burn for a while and even explode.
It's not that the original country had gunpowder, it was purely kerosene in clay pots. Excessive temperature will indeed cause it to explode.
Many of the Chu troops who were originally rushing outwards were running and were in flammable areas, and were caught in the sea of fire with almost no time to react.
More Chu troops suddenly discovered that there were fires everywhere around them, and soon everything was filled with thick smoke. Their field of vision was suddenly covered, causing them to choke and cough, and soon they had tears and snot flowing across their noses.
When Zong Lou was in despair, he heard a "creep" sound from the city gate. When he saw the city gate opening a gap, he drew his sword and shouted: "Enter the city!"
Handa, who just showed his face, saw the thick smoke billowing in front of him. Before he could do anything, the Zonglou who rushed over grabbed his arm and shouted with astonishment on his face: "Master Zong has rebelled!?"
Zonglou dragged Handa into the city and said at the same time: "The original army designed it, but now it has been set on fire! The ruler quickly orders the city gates to be opened, which may save the life of the King of Chu! In addition, the Chu army can be attracted into the city to add to the power.
Soldiers guarding the city!"
Not jumping in place?
Save the King of Chu? God knows where the King of Chu is.
It is a good idea to absorb the Chu army!
Handa was confused as to whether the Zonglou was in rebellion. He was momentarily stunned and began to call out the names of his cronies, and ordered all city gates to be temporarily opened, but to be closed immediately if the original army was found approaching.
This is based on the premise that "Xinzheng" has more than one city wall. Handa believes that even if there is chaos within the first city wall, as long as the gate of the second city wall is not opened, the harm can be controlled within an acceptable range.
Inside.
In addition, Handa made up his mind and would never let the clan tower cross the second city wall!
They came to the top of the first city wall, looked around and saw billowing smoke everywhere, and listened to the howls of ghosts and wolves coming from all over the field.
"Such a scene..." Handa didn't know how to describe it at all.
In fact, they really couldn't see clearly, all they could see was thick smoke.
This is also relatively normal.
The so-called normal thing is that if the fire is not big enough, it will inevitably produce a lot of smoke. Fires cannot be everywhere. Smoke is actually the most dangerous thing. The reason is that people have to breathe, and the trachea and organs cannot withstand repeated smoke.
Choking, not enough oxygen is even more fatal.
Knowing that he was walking around the gate of hell, Zonglou couldn't help but feel a wave of fear!
If the city gate had been opened a little later at that time, Handa, who knew that the original army used fire attacks, would not open the door despite any words, and the Zonglou group would have become one of those burned by fire or choked by smoke outside the city.
There was too much and too thick smoke, and the field of vision was too restricted, making it really difficult for people to see the size of the fire clearly.
The Chu troops who were closer to the city gate had many smart people among them. Seeing the misery ahead, they would definitely want to retreat. Then they learned that the city gate of "Xinzheng" was wide open. They didn't need to die many brain cells, just for survival.
All instincts will run into the city.
The smoke has been swept towards "Xinzheng" by the wind, bringing not only smoke but also a lot of ashes.
"Zheng Zhengqing, it's best if I wait." Zong Lou said.
Handa was still immersed in the imagination that the Chu army was finished. He was called by Zong Lou several times before he came back to his senses. He responded: "Okay, okay...", paused and asked: "I wonder if Zong Dafu knows the King of Chu?"
Where are you?"
According to common sense, Chu Junzhong should be in the middle of the breakout Chu army? This is to open a gap in the front, Chu Junzhong can protrude in time, and will not be caught at once if there is danger in the rear.
Arriving in a room, Handa was stunned for a while, and then suddenly said: "The former army... is really cruel!"
Looking at the posture and looking back on the past, it is clear that the original army had been planning for a long time and was waiting for the Chu army to break through before launching a fire attack.
Zonglou was a bit speechless.
The original army did not hide it deliberately from the beginning to the end. The only reason to blame is that there are no smart people on the coalition side. They were smart enough to immediately think that the original army was going to launch a fire attack when they saw so many flammable objects.
And this really can't be blamed on the senior leaders of the coalition. They had seen so much wood before, and the wood itself was the material for building fortifications; as for straw, weeds, wheat straw, etc., they were also materials needed to build fortifications.
If I insist on saying there is anything strange about it, I can only say that the materials prepared by the original army were too much.
When Handa thought about what happened to the Chu army that broke out of the encirclement, he asked, "How many people are likely to survive, even though he knew it would be in vain to ask?"
Zong Lou was observing the Chu army entering the city just now, and said with a heavy face: "At most 10%."
The main reason is that they are fighting for the road, killing each other and trampling on each other, but it just causes the city gate to be crowded.
As long as order can be maintained, more people will definitely enter the city.
Handa and Zong Lou looked at each other, and then sighed in unison.
