There were a large number of Huns in Yanmen Pass, and the fire-fighting team was quickly summoned and went around to put out the fire.
When Huchuquan looked back outside the city again, he found that the blazing fire rings had gradually extinguished.
A captain of ten thousand men pointed to the city and laughed loudly: "Look, Your Majesty, the fire is out, haha."
"Yes." Hu Chuquan nodded with a smile, then turned his eyes and said solemnly: "No, the fire has not been extinguished, it is still burning."
"Ah?" Captain Ten Thousands was stunned when he heard this. After taking a closer look, he discovered that there was indeed a faint fire shining.
In less than a moment, the flame at the source of the extinguished fire became brighter and brighter, becoming clear and distinguishable.
The captain scratched his head and couldn't help but wonder: "What a wicked sect, why is this fire burning again?"
"Although I don't know why, it seems that Qin Hao's son really put in a lot of effort to light this fire!" Hu Chuquan frowned and said in a condensed voice: "But I want to see, you
What tricks do you want to play!"
"Oops, there's a fire in the granary."
"What?"
Hu Chuquan's eyes widened. What he was most worried about happened.
The granary was personally inspected by Hu Chuquan. Logically speaking, it was impossible to catch fire, but it happened, which gave Hu Chuquan an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
"Oh no, the armory is on fire too!"
"Oh no, all the warehouses are on fire"
"Damn it, why don't you all go put out the fire for me!" Huchuquan roared.
Outside Yanmen Pass.
Looking at Yanmen Pass, which had illuminated the entire sky, the generals were filled with doubts. Yanmen Pass was obviously Stone City, but how did the fire start?
"Young Master, what exactly is going on..." Gao Shun was the first to step forward and ask.
Qin Hao smiled slightly when he saw this, and then winked at Wang Meng. Wang Meng took out a black stone from his arms, handed it to the generals, and said with a smile: "Generals, do you know what this is?"
Although some of the generals thought they looked familiar, they just couldn't pronounce their names. Most of them just shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know them at all.
Zhang Liao thought hard for a long time, and finally remembered it, and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this the stone used to lay the foundation when the pass was built? What can this stone be used for?"
"Haha, this thing is very useful." Wang Meng smiled lightly and said: "My lord named this thing coal. Coal is not easy to burn, but once it is ignited, the fire will be difficult to extinguish. It will not stop until it is completely reduced to ashes.
."
Wang Meng's words made everyone except Qin Hao change their expressions, and then almost everyone took a breath at the same time.
This coal and stone is everywhere in Yanmen Pass. If this fire is lit, the 90,000 Xiongnu troops in Yanmen Pass will really be buried with Yanmen Pass!
At this time, the generals finally understood what Qin Hao's strategy was to defeat the enemy. What a vicious plan!
"Young Master, was it just for today that we built the city with coal and stone?"
Gao Shun asked the questions in the minds of all the Yanmen Army generals. Everyone couldn't help but feel scared when they thought that he and others had been fighting on such dangerous rocks for four years.
"No, I did this just to prevent it. If one day Yanmen Pass really couldn't be defended, I would just set fire to the pass to delay the Xiongnu's march south and give Guangwu time to prepare." Qin Hao explained patiently.<
/p>
"As for how many Xiongnu people can be burned to death, there are too many variables. After all, no one knows how many Xiongnu people will be stationed in the pass, and whether they will break out once the fire breaks out. So setting fire to the pass is the final stab at death." When the generals think about Qin Hao's words, they think it makes sense. If the Huns don't all enter the pass, there is no point in setting fire to the pass. If the fire is strong and the Huns just abandon the pass, then burning the pass is also meaningless.
"Then how can the young master be sure that all the Huns will definitely enter the pass?" Xu Huang asked doubtfully. If this kind of thing relies on gambling, then the luck will be too good.
"I was not absolutely sure at first, but after Mr. Wang Meng made some small plans, I am completely sure about it!"
"Oh? What's the plan?" Xu Huang continued to ask.
Wang Meng gently shook his feather fan and explained with a slight smile: "The human heart is a complicated thing. Yanmen Pass also has special significance for the Xiongnu, so the Xiongnu must be heartened after the pass is broken. Our army left so much supplies, wine and meat in the pass, so
I predict that the Xiongnu will enter the pass and celebrate grandly."
"Is it that simple?" Xu Huang asked differently.
"It's that simple."
"Xu Huang surrenders!"
As soon as Xu Huang retreated, Qin Hu stood up and asked coldly: "What if the defenders break through at all costs?"
Qin Hu has deep feelings for Yanmen Pass. This pass was rebuilt with great effort by his father and uncle, but Wang Meng burned it down in a plan. Although it was also for victory, Qin Hu still had some resentment towards Wang Meng in his heart. Of course, Qin Hu is definitely not the only one who has resentment.
Wang Meng smiled calmly: "If the defenders break through at all costs, they may be able to break out some of the troops, but I'm sure the defenders will never break out!"
"Why?"
"People tend to take chances. As long as a small number of people try to break out and die, the remaining people will not continue to try, but would rather stay on the tower and lose the final chance of escape while watching and hesitating.
Besides, I won’t let them escape so easily.”
Wang Meng's explanation made everyone silent. Sometimes things in people's hearts are complicated, but sometimes they are very simple!
As for the result, Wang Meng did not say it clearly, but everyone knew that when the coal burned completely and the fire spread completely, even the iron man would be turned into gold juice, let alone the human being!
"What a vicious plot!"
Some generals looked at Wang Meng with a little fear in their eyes.
This person's tactics are ten times more ruthless than those of Xi Zhicai's military advisor!
Qin Hu was speechless and had to retreat, but Zhang Liao stepped forward and continued to ask: "Sir, have you forgotten Xianbei?"
Interestingly, Qin Hao looked at the scene in front of him with great interest, and thought to himself: Is Wang Meng going to stage a good show of verbal battle with the generals?
"With the loss of Yanmen Pass, even if our army can win this battle, if Xianbei and the company send troops to invade, what can we do to resist it?" Zhang Liao said calmly.
When the generals heard this, they immediately showed solemn expressions. Yes, Yanmen Pass was not the only one defending the Huns. Even if they used fire attacks to severely damage the Huns, without Yanmen Pass, they still could not resist Xianbei!
"Haha!" Facing Zhang Liao's aggressiveness, Wang Meng did not panic at all, but said calmly: "It is because I was sure that Xianbei would never attack, so I dare to persuade my lord to adopt this strategy."
