Qin Wei was riding a horse in the camp of the Anning Army, looking at the thick smoke that covered the sky with a bright smile in his eyes.
A strong attack is not advisable, and there are no conditions for a fire attack, so let's have a smoke attack.
The gentle breeze blows, and the black mist fills the air, confusing the sun and moon.
It's long and swaying, and it's dark. The misery is in the sky, and the haze is penetrating the ground.
No matter how high your city is and how many troops you have, you will still be choked and coughing, unable to fight.
Southern Sichuan has strong southerly winds in spring and summer, and this long and narrow canyon is a wind outlet. As long as you light a firework on the south side, it can be blown to the north end.
Coupled with the special grass balls and lamp oil, the entire Pingman Pass will be submerged in thick smoke.
Zhuge Liang took advantage of the east wind to burn Cao's camp, and Qin Wei took advantage of the south wind to smoke and level Man Pass.
This is the clever use of time.
Qin Wei had no choice. Pingman Pass occupies a favorable location, so he could only come up with this somewhat destructive move.
"put!"
At the front of the military formation, Liu Qing was still directing the catapult to launch fireballs.
Not to mention the rebels in Pingman Pass, even the soldiers around the catapult were choked to the point of coughing and bursting into tears.
Even if they had covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths in advance, they still could not completely isolate themselves from the smoke.
However, they still insisted on throwing out all the grass balls.
"retreat!"
After all the grass balls he had prepared were thrown out, Liu Qing quickly called on the soldiers to retreat. He even ignored the catapult and retreated a hundred meters.
The tall city wall of Pingman Pass will cause the thick smoke to fly upward, but a lot of the thick smoke generated during the ejection process still blows to the Anning Army.
The pungent smell of smoke made many soldiers choke and cough.
"Your Highness!" Xiao Shunzi handed Qin Wei a piece of wet cloth.
Qin Wei quickly covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth.
…
Under the billowing smoke, Yang Lu looked around at the soldiers coughing violently, his eyes wide open and his gaze locked.
"Xin'an..."
"Cough cough cough~~"
"Cough cough cough~~"
He wanted to curse angrily and command the soldiers to extinguish the smoky fireballs, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a puff of thick smoke poured into his mouth, choking him so much that he could not even speak a word.
Why?
Why is this happening?
How could Xin'an'er come up with such a sinister trick?
Cough cough cough~~
Cough cough cough~~
He was roaring almost madly in his heart, but he kept coughing as if his throat was filled with sand.
Li Xing next to him was not much better, covering his ears and nose while looking around for a place without heavy smoke.
However, there is no gap in the city wall that has been covered by thick smoke.
The key is that the smoke is billowing down and the visibility is so low that you can't see clearly even one meter away.
It feels like the whole world is black.
The soldiers on the city wall also fled in all directions, and some panicked soldiers jumped directly from the city wall.
Although the thick smoke is not immediately fatal, it can still choke people to death. Being shrouded in the thick smoke not only makes it impossible to breathe, but also makes people extremely uncomfortable.
Many soldiers were choked and had no choice but to jump towards the outside of the city wall.
However, the ten-foot-high city wall is simply a nightmare. Even if you don't die if you jump off, you will still be paralyzed.
Severe coughing sounds came one after another, and screams were mixed in from time to time.
When Li Zhongxian and Zhong Daofu noticed the thick smoke sweeping in, they already took action to put out the fire balls.
However, those fire balls were doused with lamp oil. Not only could they not be extinguished by water, but they would emit more smoke.
Despite their busy work, the two of them not only failed to extinguish the fire, but instead made themselves disgraced and embarrassed.
With no other choice, they ran upwind and looked at Pingman Pass, which was completely submerged in black smoke.
"Failed again! This kid Xin'an is indeed very cunning!"
Li Zhongxian stood on the south wall of Pingmanguan City and said in a low voice.
He knew that Qin Wei was not an easy character to deal with, but he never expected that Qin Wei would use smoke to attack Pingman Pass City.
Zhong Daofu's old face was now filled with gray, and his sinister eyes became even colder.
"Once Pingman Pass is occupied by the King of Xin'an County, the entire northern region of Yunzhou will be threatened."
"We can't just watch Pingman Pass break down the city."
Zhong Daofu said in a deep voice.
"What do you mean?" Li Zhongxian turned his head and looked at him.
"Kill Prince Xin'an!" Zhong Daofu said.
Li Zhongxian said in a deep voice: "Prince Xin'an is surrounded by two innate warriors and many martial arts masters. It is not easy to kill him."
Although innate warriors have the ability to take the heads of enemy generals among thousands of troops, the prerequisite is that there are no innate warriors among the enemy army.
"They will definitely attack the city." Zhong Daofu said.
Li Zhongxian's expression changed slightly, "Indeed, our best opportunity is when they attack the city."
The two looked at each other, then flew up towards the mountains next to them.
…
Black smoke filled Pingmanguan City for more than half an hour before slowly dissipating. Before the black smoke on the city wall completely dissipated, Yuwen Chengdu rushed up with thousands of soldiers.
Bang bang~~
Pushed by the soldiers, the huge log hit the city gate hard.
Yuwen Chengdu stepped on the ladder and jumped onto the city wall.
He stood on the wall and looked around cautiously. He originally thought there would be enemies on the wall, but when he came up, he found that there was no one standing on the wall.
The foot-wide city wall was covered with soldiers. Their faces were all pale, their eyes were closed tightly, and they were breathing heavily. Some of them had even died completely.
After the soldiers of the Anning Army climbed up the city wall, they were all shocked when they saw this scene.
The fight was over before it even started!
Looking at the miserable enemies one by one, the soldiers of the An Ning Army couldn't help but sympathize.
It's so miserable, it's so miserable.
All of them were covered in black and gray, and looked like neither humans nor ghosts.
Yuwen Chengdu frowned slightly and looked towards the city of Pingmanguan. He saw that the city was also full of people, but he soon discovered the enemy.
The catapult has a limited range and cannot directly shoot through the entire Pingmanguan City. The southern area of the city was not affected by the smoke.
As long as the soldiers in the city react quickly enough, they can run to the southern area and escape the smoke.
At this time, Yang Lu and Li Xing in the southern area of the city were looking at the fire groups that had not yet been extinguished.
"An enemy is coming!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed.
Yang Lu and Li Xing's expressions suddenly changed.
They looked up at the city wall to the north and saw that the city wall was already filled with soldiers of the Anning Army.
The thick smoke had not completely dissipated, so they could not see very clearly and could only see all the blurry figures.
"kill!"
Yang Lu roared angrily, took the lead, jumped over the fire balls that had not been extinguished, and rushed towards the opposite side.
At this time, his heart was filled with anger, so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Following his roar, the soldiers behind him also charged to kill him.
However, Li Xing's eyes flashed and he stood motionless.
Because he found that Zhong Daofu and Li Zhongxian had disappeared.
Seeing the enemy charging towards him, Yuwen Chengdu had a sneer on his face.
"Things that don't know how to live or die!"
He snorted coldly and jumped off the city wall.
The figure turned into a shadow in the turbid air, and met the enemy in the blink of an eye.
"die!"
The gold-plated phoenix wings swept out like a scythe of death, and dozens of enemy soldiers were swept away in an instant.
Not far away, Yang Lu's eyes widened when he saw this, and his forward speed slowed down involuntarily.
He looked at Yuwen Chengdu, and his heart seemed to jump into his throat.
Innate warrior!
Yuwen Chengdu!
Suddenly, he looked towards the back, looking for Zhong Daofu and Li Zhongxian, but they had already disappeared.
"Damn it, where are the people!"
Suddenly, he saw Li Xing in the distance.
Seeing Li Xing who had retreated to the southern city wall, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then his whole person froze.
Because Li Xing ran away and jumped off the city wall.
Jumped down without looking back!
As if everything behind him was insignificant, he left with ease and ease.
He ran away!
Yang Lu was a little confused. Li Xing had previously said that he would become an important figure in the new dynasty, and also said that Wushan Palace was willing to form an alliance with him to strive for greater interests in the new dynasty.
He seemed to still be recalling Li Xing's flattery and praise for him in his ears.
But now Li Xing ran away without looking back.
Yang Lu's body trembled, his face full of fear.
Li Xing ran away, and Zhong Daofu and Li Zhongxian also disappeared!
He was abandoned!
"They lied to me, they lied to me! They promised to guard Pingman Pass with me, but they all ran away!"
Everything I said before is fart, and Mao Jiang’s emphasis is also fart.
Everything is fake.
Li Xing wanted to cry but had no tears.
But he cried a little early.
As the Anning Army rushed into the city, a fierce battle began. After Yuwen Chengdu repelled hundreds of soldiers, he finally noticed Yang Lu.
The gold-plated phoenix wings swung violently and covered Yang Lu's body.
With a bang, Yang Lu, who was still in a daze, was sent flying out.
Yang Lu let out a shrill scream.
"Are you the traitor Yang Lu?"
Yuwen Chengdu jumped up to Yang Lu again and said with some uncertainty.
Yang Lu's armor was obviously different from that of ordinary soldiers, but Yuwen Chengdu had never really seen Yang Lu, so he just guessed that the person in front of him was Yang Lu.
Ahem~~
Yang Lu lay on the ground and coughed violently.
He stared blankly at the narrow sky, "Yes, I am Yang Lu!"
…
In the camp of the Tranquil Army.
Qin Wei looked at Pingman Pass.
At this time, the city gate of Pingman Pass had been knocked open, and countless soldiers of the Peace Army swarmed in.
"This battle is over!"
Qin Wei chuckled lightly.
"Your Highness is truly a mastermind!" Xiao Shunzi stood beside Qin Wei and said excitedly.
He was not complimenting Qin Wei, he really felt that Qin Wei's move was too quick.
Since the founding of the Dali Dynasty, for more than three hundred years, the Pingman Pass has never been breached. However, today was just a battle, and the Pingman Pass, which had not been breached for hundreds of years, was captured.
Not only Xiao Shunzi, but also the surrounding soldiers looked at Qin Wei with excitement and admiration.
Even Mo Yan was extremely surprised by Qin Wei's methods.
Unlike Xiao Shunzi, Mo Yan used to be Li Xun's personal guard. Li Xun can be called the God of War, and Mo Yan is naturally experienced in many battles.
It's a pity that he can't speak, otherwise he would definitely praise Qin Wei.
Just when Mo Yan was sighing at Qin Wei's whimsical ideas, his expression suddenly became solemn, his hand was on the hilt of the sword, and then he took a step forward and blocked Qin Wei.
Qin Wei narrowed his eyes and saw two figures running towards him from afar.
"Be careful! An expert is attacking the camp!"
Some soldiers in the military formation also noticed the abnormality and shouted.
Wow~~
Suddenly everyone became nervous.
Qin Wei looked at the two figures and shouted: "Get out of the way and let them come over!"
The soldiers around him all looked at him hesitantly.
Qin Wei said again: "You guys, get out of the way!"
At this time, all the soldiers retreated one after another.
Qin Wei asked them to get out of the way because he was afraid that the soldiers would make unnecessary sacrifices.
