Chapter 740: Northward Plan, Public Conspiracy Theory
When a wet cloth that had almost been wrung out of the water was wrapped around his face, Li Jing's whole body shivered, as if countless knives were being scraped on his face.
After having him take the lead, Huang Feihu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Di Qing and other generals also gritted their teeth and took the same piece of stone cloth to cover their faces.
Even Wang Yu, who was sitting at the end of the city wall, picked up a wet cloth with a dark face and set an example.
"Fuck!"
The sour feeling in the winter almost made Wang Yu give a cordial greeting on the spot.
Although the soldiers around him were hesitant when looking at the frames of wet cloth, seeing the generals above setting an example, they could only grit their teeth.
"put!"
After seeing everyone getting ready, Li Jing gave an order directly to Di Qing, who was in charge of the catapult formation.
One by one, torches ignited a dark mass, and with the help of catapults, it fell towards the Beidi army formation that was advancing towards the city wall.
"Distribute attention and avoid!" Beidi's generals subconsciously said.
Catapults, with their accuracy, can be truly astonishingly lethal as long as they are not crowded together.
Any general with some basic military qualities will ask his soldiers to disperse their formation when facing a catapult!
However, the sound of the earth shaking and huge rocks falling did not sound in the impression. After those black things fell to the ground, thick black smoke rose up. Many Beidi soldiers were hit by this wave.
The smoke choked me like a ball of headless flies, eager to break out of the darkness.
"Fire the arrow with all your strength, don't stop using the kerosene, just hit it!" Li Jing quietly glanced at the situation under the city wall, quickly retracted his head, and ordered immediately.
No matter how elite the soldiers are, it is impossible for them to continue to perform combat missions when they are wrapped in this thick smoke, and they will instead run around.
This is the time to beat up the drowned dog.
Not to mention the soldiers, even Tuoba Longxiang retreated directly when the thick smoke began to rise around him. He was also a human being, not a god, so it was impossible not to breathe!
"Nurhaci, you can't help me, how can I fight now!" Luantan Jilie himself was dumbfounded, his mouth opened wide, and he was stunned all of a sudden!
"Which bastard would use this kind of two-part tactic!" Nurhachi also said at a loss!
This is definitely a trick that can kill a thousand enemies and damage yourself by eight hundred! Although the smoke will indeed choke the attacking Beidi soldiers, today's wind direction will eventually be blown to Tianlang Pass, and neither side can take advantage of it.
.
"Shit! How are we going to fight this? Let me withdraw my Elephant Battalion first, and send other soldiers immediately!" Ou Buhui ordered fiercely, without even discussing with the other two people, and directly issued the order to the general behind him.
Order to withdraw the Elephant Camp.
"Let our people retreat first! Isn't it just horse manure? We don't need this stuff?" Nurhaci said with a sneer!
This battle can't be fought for the time being. The commanders behind can't even see or direct the battle. How can they attack the city? Their Beidi elites can't give away their lives in such a senseless manner!
A few days ago, even if they were used in wars of attrition, they were only for the old, weak, sick and disabled, and elites were never used.
Since the Cang Army dares to do this, they are not polite and ask people to withdraw first and add fire to them!
"Pharmacist, the enemy troops have withdrawn!" Zhang Liao pointed in the direction of the city.
Although they could hardly see clearly due to the thick smoke, they could clearly hear the movement underneath.
"Be careful! Let the soldiers throw kerosene every once in a while! Shoot arrows at the mountain walls on both sides!" Li Jing also looked at the direction outside the pass with the same caution.
Li Jing does have a steady side in his character. This smoke is billowing, but he still has to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks! The loss last night is enough.
A little kerosene and arrows, although it is a bit wasteful to use them like this!
However, they still have some wealth, and if they can guard the Tianlang Pass, they can afford to waste this little money!
Furthermore, the Beiming family is now basically on the same front as them. With the help of one of the four imperial merchants, these things are definitely not difficult to solve as long as you have money! Let alone ordinary goods, as long as you are willing
If you spend money, they can get Xirong's fierce fire oil in large quantities for you.
"Pharmacist! Something's wrong! Why is the smoke getting thicker and thicker!" Zhang Liao's throat felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, it was still winter, so they didn't dare to cover their mouths with the wet cloth. When they covered their mouths, the moisture had already been squeezed out. Over time, it had no effect on the smoke.
"Are everything ready?"
Looking at the increasingly thick smoke, Li Jing looked at Huang Zhong behind him.
Just now, when he asked Zhang Liao to prepare horse manure, he pulled Su Hu over and whispered in his ear for a while. At the same time, he also asked Huang Zhong to prepare some things.
"Of course everything is ready!" Huang Zhong said with a smile.
In fact, Huang Zhong was only in his early forties, but whether it was the long hair under his helmet or the wisp of beard under his mouth, there was a faint hint of gray.
Forty years old, in the 21st century era of Wang Yu's previous life, is certainly not considered an old person, that is, a person reaches middle age, but in the ancient context, this is an old person.
He had already been prepared for the possibility that Beidi might use this trick!
Zhang Liao looked at Huang Zhong's command, and the soldiers used wooden sticks to hold up several huge pieces of white cloth. This white cloth was only used for camping in the field, but now this piece of white cloth was held up here, this thick
The smoke went directly up the white cloth.
The white cloths used when setting up camp and setting up tents are certainly not impermeable to smoke.
"It seems! We should be able to rest assured today!" Huang Feihu grinned, with a hint of tiredness in his expression.
Looking at this situation, Beidi must have taken the initiative to add another handful of cigarettes to this one. Today, the enemy troops will not be able to charge forward.
Last night, Huang Feihu also fought all night long, and he was very tired at this time!
However, unlike the other brothers, he was injured, so he became one of the generals participating in the battle today, instead of recuperating in the pass like those injured generals.
At this time, the plans for this war were also being discussed intensely among many counselors.
