The first thousand two hundred and forty-seven chapters he became attached to the fire
Chapter 1,247 He has a bond with fire
Zhuge Liang's words still worked. Seeing that Zhuge Liang personally brought people here, Zhang Fei finally calmed down.
At this time, Zhang Fei finally felt pain from the wound on his shoulder.
He bared his teeth and said something to Zhuge Liang:
"Army...strategist...I almost fell into the opponent's trick again——"
"It's okay, Yide, as long as you obey the orders, there will be no problem!"
Zhuge Liang had seen through Zhang Fei and knew that as long as he did not reprimand him but comforted him in this situation, Zhang Fei would remember it more clearly next time.
Zhang Fei nodded in agreement, and Zhuge Liang also told the people around him about the next arrangements:
"The reason why the other party responded in this way is that there should be trenches all over their city."
"Although they are extremely provocative, it also reveals that they don't want us to crack their tricks so quickly-"
"Military advisor...then what should we do?"
Everyone looked at Zhuge Liang inquiringly, and even though it was freezing cold, Zhuge Liang still shook his feather fan lightly and said:
"Of course it's a fire attack."
Fire attack...Zhuge Liang has been associated with the word "fire" all his life. He is undecided in everything. If he is involved with fire, he can often get along with him and make clever plans.
Now we know that the opponent has used some kind of disguise, and if they want to cause heavy casualties to the opponent in an instant and have to abandon their defenses, they will naturally use fire to burn away the opponent.
"Well! That's it!"
Zhang Fei cupped his fists and shouted excitedly, but a trace of blood appeared from the wound.
When Zhang Fei was in pain, Zhuge Liang immediately issued an order to the army——
——
Lu Meng had already returned to the city at this time. He did not dare to look back when he was running back. It seemed that he was provoking Zhang Fei, but in fact only he knew how thrilling this process was.
Shaking his numb arm, Lu Meng hurriedly asked:
"Is the other party going to continue pushing forward?"
"It doesn't look like... they should already know that there is a trench under our city. My husband also said that this trick will at most prevent the opponent from reaching the city quickly in the first battle. If it is really effective, I am afraid it will not be as good as his first victory back then.
It’s the first time I’ve used it.”
"That's enough. As long as we can delay the time... there will definitely be changes on Yang Xian's side——"
"Sir, did you tell me when the chariot will be ready for use?"
"Not urgent--"
Lu Xun shook his head and asked Lu Meng to give up the idea of using a chariot:
"You must first separate the opponent's infantry and cavalry so that they have to attack the city. Only then can the chariot play its greatest role."
In fact, everyone is quite itchy. They have all seen the power of the chariot. Except for Zhu Ran, it can be said that the entire Jiangdong army is full of praise for the chariot built by Yi Xiaotian.
Even Sun Quan...
"But if the enemy's trenches are breached quickly... we may not be able to survive tomorrow..."
Lu Meng said with some worry.
Although there are eight thousand soldiers and horses in the city, only five thousand can be considered truly elite...
After excluding the nearly two thousand cavalry, there were less than three thousand elite soldiers who could be used to defend the city.
There are thirty thousand people on the other side... Such a huge disparity in numbers makes it impossible for them to stop the other side from forcibly cutting off their food and grass.
A day can be short or long. If Zhuge Liang is really cruel and does not care about the losses in battle, it can be said that they will definitely lose now.
"In the final analysis, I still underestimated my opponent... Otherwise, even if Yang Xian lets Zhao Yun go deeper, they will not cause any damage to us."
Lu Xun blamed himself. At this moment, the situation on the field changed.
…
"Why has there been no movement for so long?"
Lu Meng looked from a distance and found that the opponent's cavalry and infantry were basically standing still, but he didn't see the opponent actually setting up camp. Could it be that the opponent didn't know how to attack?
Just as he was speaking, from the shadow of the mountain in the distance, a fire arrow soared into the sky and drew an arc in mid-air, landing at the foot of Piling City with incomparable precision.
"What is the other party doing... From that distance, do they still want to shoot into our city?"
Lu Meng smiled and shook his head, not taking the arrow seriously.
But Lu Xun suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem...
"No! Let General Zhu withdraw from the trenches!"
"What…"
Before Lu Meng could react, suddenly... in the clear sky, thousands of fire arrows were like a burning fire phoenix, plummeting down from mid-air, and the spearhead was naturally pointed at the people in the trench without concealment.
officers——
Zhu Ran didn't feel anything strange because their heads were covered with linen, but suddenly, someone's screams came from beside them.
He quickly looked back and saw an unusual light illuminating the entire dark tunnel...
"Fire! General! It's... it's fire!"
"No! Escape quickly!"
At the same moment, Lu Xun and Zhu Ran both issued orders to retreat, but... how can an arrow run fast?
Fire arrows poured down, burning thousands of people in dozens of trenches without mercy.
Screams and sounds of burning flames came and went, and soon... the smell of burnt meat began to float on the battlefield.
Lu Xun only felt a numbness in his scalp...
He suddenly remembered that Yi Xiaotian had asked him before the war how the fire prevention work of the tank was going...
Yi Xiaotian also told him at the time that if...if there was any paint left, it would be better to distribute it to the soldiers and let them apply it on their armor...
But at that time, he was only focused on analyzing intelligence, and even the maintenance of the chariot was left to the men in the crafts workshops...
Seeing the fire in his eyes, Lu Xun suddenly felt helpless.
Under the city... Zhu Ran worked hard to rescue the soldiers who were not burned to death... but it was only a drop in the bucket.
This round of arrow rain caused them heavy casualties, let alone... the second round that followed.
——
"Military! It's on fire! It's all burning!"
Zhang Fei howled excitedly.
He turned around and cast a respectful look at Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang smiled softly and waved his feather fan:
"General Yide, now it's your turn to show off! Remember... leave no one alive!"
"Got the order!"
Zhang Fei grinned, immediately put on his armor and got on his horse.
As Zhang Fei's roar came out, a group of dark cavalry marched straight in on the battlefield, heading straight for the Piling City, which was already filled with flames.
At this time... Zhu Ran was still struggling to rescue his subordinates, sparing no effort...
It seems that the overall situation of this battle between Jiangdong and Liu Bei has been decided just by meeting...
——
"what happened?
What does this smell like?”
Yi Xiaotian, who was waiting at the back, was closing his eyes and concentrating. Sitting next to him were Lu Lingqi, Ma Yunlu and others.
He had just finished talking to Lu Lingqi about the speculations about Zhao Yun, and everyone was still discussing how to talk to Zhao Yun next... when they suddenly smelled the burnt smell in the air.
"Whose cooking was burnt?"
Lu Lingqi said doubtfully...
But these words made Yi Xiaotian feel bad.
"No...maybe something happened."
Yi Xiaotian didn't stop, he got up and walked directly outside the restaurant. Sure enough, as soon as he went out and saw the red-hot sky above the city wall, he knew something must have happened outside the city.
