"Last night's sneak attack, we killed all the Imperial Guards. No one from the Imperial City Department was seen. They seemed to have known for a long time that we were going to attack by fire and night."
Master Xu has been thinking about this matter. Why did the sneak attack last night only kill the Imperial Guards and not the people from the Imperial City Division?
In fact, Master Xu hopes to kill the people from the Imperial City Division, because the Imperial City Division is more difficult.
However, the people in the Imperial City Division were not injured at all.
"They are not camping outside. If they are camping inside, we can kill them."
Peng Mao didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just a coincidence. The Imperial City Secretary was lucky and escaped the disaster.
Master Xu shook his head and said, "No, I always feel that someone has seen through my plan."
Peng Mao shook his head and said: "Impossible. If you saw through the plan, why did you let the Imperial Guards be killed? Do the people in the Imperial City Department want the Imperial Guards to be killed?"
Master Xu couldn't figure it out and said: "It feels like...this person is hiding his head and showing his tail, as if he is unwilling to do his best."
Peng Mao laughed and said: "How is it possible? If there was such a person in the Imperial City Division, they would have come in long ago."
"Master is just overthinking, don't think so much."
Master Xu shook his head, always feeling that something was wrong.
Camp outside the mountain pass.
Xia Houlian and Tu Gang murmured all night, but they couldn't think of a way to break the city.
Long Chen was too lazy to pay attention. He couldn't make any suggestions now. Doing so would expose his identity.
Not to mention the people in the Imperial City Division, they are the most suspicious.
Long Chen was fast asleep in the tent, while Xia Houlian was outside blowing the cold wind.
By the middle of the night, I was still at a loss.
In the tent, Zhang Yong walked out in a daze to relieve himself, then went back to the tent to sleep.
When Xia Houlian saw Zhang Yong, he thought of Long Chen. He immediately opened the tent and saw Long Chen sleeping soundly.
Xia Hou kicked him repeatedly, and Long Chen immediately got up and grabbed the hunting knife.
Lu Wenfeng and Zhang Yong also woke up. When they saw Xia Houlian, they immediately bowed to see him.
Xia Houlian ignored the two of them, but sat down in the tent and asked: "Liu An, do you have any ideas to deal with Feihu Villa?"
Long Chen breathed a sigh of relief, put down the hunting knife in his hand, lay down again, and said, "Sir, could you please stop being like this in the middle of the night? I'm scared to death. I thought a wild beast had come in."
In fact, Long Chen hasn't slept all this time. He sleeps very little now.
Lu Wenfeng immediately pulled up Long Chen and said: "Get up, the master is here, don't sleep."
Long Chen rubbed his eyes, reluctantly got up and said, "You all can't do anything, what can I do?"
Xiahou couldn't even think about it, he couldn't think of a solution. What could a newcomer do?
"never mind."
Xia Houlian left the tent and went back to his tent to sleep.
Long Chen continued to lie down and sleep.
After Lu Wenfeng lay down, he asked: "Liu An, do you have any idea?"
Long Chen closed his eyes and said: "Boss Lu, you really think highly of me. Mr. Assi can't do anything about it, so why should I do anything about it?"
Lu Wenfeng thought about it. Long Chen's performance in the past two days was too eye-catching, so he thought Long Chen was very good.
But if you think about it carefully, Long Chen is just a young boy who has just joined the Imperial City Division. What can he do?
Zhang Yong turned over and said, "Go to sleep, Liu An is for hunting."
The three of them fell asleep again.
On the second day, Xiahou Company did not advance, but rested at the mouth of the valley.
If you can't think of a way to break the city, it's useless to go in.
The north wind was blowing loudly, and dark clouds were gathering, and it looked like the weather was going to change.
If it rains, the tent can't stop it at all.
Ancient tents were not waterproof, and they were most afraid of rainy days when fighting.
"Damn it, if it rains, we'll be in mud and water."
Zhang Yong looked at the dense dark clouds and felt very irritable.
I thought this mission would be easy with the help of the Imperial Guard, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Long Chen heard it a little funny. Before setting off, Xia Houlian didn't know the situation of Feihu Villa.
As an army commander, you must try your best to grasp the enemy's intelligence before going to war, otherwise you will be blinded on the spot.
In the distance, Xia Houlian, Tu Gang and Chu Tianjun were still discussing how to attack Feihu Villa.
"Actually, that village is easy to handle. Just pile the firewood at the door and burn it for a few days and nights. If it rains a little bit, it will collapse."
Long Chen said casually.
Zhang Yong heard this and sneered: "Are you okay? Burn the wall? The wall is made of stone, can you burn the stone?"
Long Chen was too lazy to pay attention and wandered around by himself.
Xia Hou and the three of them discussed for a long time, but still couldn't find a way.
Lu Wenfeng returned to the tent and did not see Long Chen, so he asked: "Where is Liu An?"
Zhang Yong smiled and said: "He must have gone to chop wood."
Lu Wenfeng felt strange and asked: "Chopping firewood? What kind of firewood?"
Zhang Yong sarcastically said: "Our military advisor Liu Da said that Feihu Villa is easy to break. He only needs to burn it with firewood for three days and three nights, and the wall will be broken."
Lu Wenfeng was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and felt that it made sense.
Lu Wenfeng immediately left the tent, entered Xiahou Lian's tent, and said: "Advisor, Liu An said to burn Zhuangzi with fire." www.八一zw.????m
Xia Houlian thought that Long Chen meant to attack Feihu Villa with fire, and said: "Bad idea, what's the use of shooting rockets into Zhuangzi?"
"Also, our arrows can hit Zhuangzi, and Peng Mao can also shoot us and kill us."
Everyone's shooting range is similar. It is even said that Feihu Villa is condescending and has a longer range. If you go there, you will die.
Lu Wenfeng shook his head and said, "No, Liu An means to use firewood to burn the city wall. I think it's going to rain. After we burn it for a few days, if it rains again, the wall will collapse."
Xia Houlian felt strange and asked: "The walls are made of stone. Can they be burned down?"
Lu Wenfeng said: "It will collapse precisely because it is made of stone."
"My subordinates have seen people digging mountains and digging canals, setting them on fire and then pouring water on them, causing the rocks to explode."
The stones are stacked together with very small gaps. After being burned by fire, the stones will expand and may even crack.
Coupled with the cold rain in winter, the wall is very likely to collapse after thermal expansion and contraction.
Once the wall of Feihu Villa collapses, Xiahou Lian can rely on their numerical advantage to invade Zhuangzi.
Xia Houlian suddenly realized and said: "Yes, burn the wall!"
hiss...
Xia Houlian's face changed slightly and asked: "Is it Liu An's idea again?"
Lu Wenfeng's face also became gloomy, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's Liu An again!"
Both of them are old spies from the Imperial City Department, and they are very suspicious.
Not long after Long Chen arrived at the Imperial City Division, he performed so well, which was simply unbelievable.
"Lao Lu, keep an eye on him and go back to find out his background!"
Xia Houlian now doesn't trust Long Chen very much.
Lu Wenfeng nodded and said: "I understand, this guy is so smart!"
Xia Houlian said: "March tomorrow and burn the city!"
Feihu Villa.
Peng Mao had a peaceful day. He sent his disciples out of the city to investigate, and reported back that Xiahou Company was resting at the mountain pass and did not dare to advance at all.
Peng Mao was very happy and drank tea with Master Xu in the room all day.
On the third day, the disciples reported that Xiahou Company was advancing again.
Peng Mao immediately ordered everyone to prepare for war.
The disciples went up to the top of the city, with bows and crossbows and stones ready.
I thought there would be a fight, but I didn't expect that Xiahou Company arrived outside the city and did not attack. Instead, they asked the soldiers to chop wood.
Peng Mao stood at the top of the city, looking puzzled and asked: "Master, what are they doing?"
