There is only one reason why Jing Yan cannot withdraw his troops, or it is useless to withdraw his troops, and that is...
"It will rain tomorrow, and it will rain heavily!"
Heavy rain will not only wet the gunpowder, but also prevent the kerosene from exerting its due power. The gunpowder and kerosene barrier he set up will be of no use in heavy rain!
"Sure enough, he is a person who is loved by God." It was not July, and it was raining heavily, which was really tough for him.
Jing Yan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Knowing the reason, Jing Yan did not dare to delay any longer and immediately summoned General Yan and asked them to order people to dig out the gunpowder buried in the ground and collect the kerosene.
It cannot be wasted if it is not used.
"Young Master, remove the gunpowder and kerosene. We will have no way out." In the past few days, relying on the barrier of kerosene and gunpowder, they had a great time fighting. Whenever General Feng's anger was aroused, they would retreat to the base camp.
Feng Jiajun was so angry that he couldn't hit him. Feng Jiajun jumped up and down.
Seeing the Feng family's army repeatedly eating turtles, the Jiangnan garrison was extremely happy.
Now I hear Jing Yan saying that he needs to remove the life-saving barrier, only if General Yan agrees.
"It will rain heavily tomorrow." Jing Yan said bluntly.
"Ah? It's raining?" General Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned and ran outside the camp to look at the sky.
The generals who lead armies in battles know a little bit about how to read the sky. Although they are not as accurate as Qin Tianjian, with many years of experience, they usually can't be too far off.
General Yan watched outside for a long time, and he felt that tomorrow would be a great day.
General Yan was extremely puzzled and walked in, scratching his head and saying, "Young Master, the moon is bright tonight and the stars are sparse. It should be a good weather tomorrow."
"Yes, young master, it doesn't look like it will rain heavily tomorrow. Could it be that... someone is deliberately defrauding us?" Several lieutenants made peace.
It's not that they don't listen to Jing Yan, they just don't believe that it will rain tomorrow. Even if it rains, it will rain a few times in such a sky. They can just cover it with tarpaulin. There is no need to dig out the explosives and cut off their own.
retreat.
"No, it will definitely rain heavily tomorrow, don't ask so many questions, just do as you are told." Jing Yan said with great certainty.
If someone else had done this, Jing Yan would definitely suspect fraud and would hold back even if he believed it, but Qin Jiyan was different.
Qin Jiyan owed him a huge favor not long ago. Jing Yan could be sure that Qin Jiyan said this to him tonight just to remind him.
Otherwise, Qin Jiyan could just say nothing and catch him off guard by killing him tomorrow.
General Yan and others saw that Jing Yan had already made a decision and did not dare to say anything more. During the time they had worked with Jing Yan, they knew very well that Jing Yan was a decisive person and he would listen to his subordinates' advice, but once he made a decision
, there is no doubt about it.
Although they still disagreed in their hearts, General Yan and others still strictly implemented Jing Yan's orders without any compromise.
The movements of the Jiangnan garrison were naturally not enough to satisfy the Feng Family Army. Tang Yong received the news and immediately reported it to Qin Jiyan, "Your Highness is wise. The Jiangnan garrison has indeed been deceived. They have already started digging out the gunpowder."
Tang Yong, like most lieutenants, did not think it would rain tomorrow, but thought it was Qin Jiyan's plan.
Qin Jiyan nodded and said nothing.
After Tang Yong left, Qin Jiyan put down his hand, stood up and walked outside the camp. He looked in the direction of the Jiangnan garrison and smiled to himself, "Sure enough, the people who know you best are either your relatives or your opponents." Apart from Jing Yan, there is probably no one else.
People believe that what he says is true.
Tomorrow, it will really rain!
With more people and greater strength, it would take a long time to bury the gunpowder, but digging it out was just a matter of two shovels. In less than half an hour, the Jiangnan garrison dug out all the gunpowder outside the camp.
Without the protection of gunpowder and kerosene, some soldiers panicked, "What if the Feng Family Army comes over tonight?"
"Without gunpowder, we have no way out."
"Tomorrow we will fight against the Feng Family Army. Where will we retreat?"
"We are dead. We will definitely be dead tomorrow. What do you think we should do?"
"How about we secretly bury the gunpowder back?"
…
Although they had taken advantage of the Feng Family Army during this period, the Jiangnan garrison was still afraid of the Feng Family Army. Without the protection of gunpowder, they did not feel safe.
Jing Yan had thought of this beforehand. Hearing the unconfident remarks of the soldiers, Jing Yan was not surprised at all. He just stood there with a cold face.
The deputy general quickly spotted Jing Yan and was startled. He stepped forward and shouted: "Young Master!"
This sound frightened the chattering soldiers. They all turned around hurriedly and saw Jing Yan standing there. His body reacted faster than his brain, and he knelt down with a plop: "Young Master!"
His voice was trembling, his head was buried very low, as if he was admitting his mistake.
Jing Yan put away the smile on his face, glanced around with cold eyes, and said word by word: "Look at you, how do you look like soldiers? You will be in panic all day long when you encounter the smallest thing. You and the Feng Family Army before
Where has the courage to fight gone?”
"How much loss has the Feng Family Army suffered at your hands during this period?"
"How much progress have you made during this time?"
"Have you ever used this row of explosives during this time?"
"The Feng Family Army is not invincible. After so many battles, do you still need to be afraid of the Feng Family Army?"
Jing Yan's voice seemed to have the power to confuse people. Feng Jiajun, who was originally panicked, became quiet one by one after hearing Jing Yan's questions one after another. When Jing Yan asked again: "Tell me
, are you afraid of the Feng Family Army?"
The soldiers present shouted in unison, with great enthusiasm: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! We are not afraid!"
"It's right not to be afraid! Remember, you are no worse than the Feng Family Army." Jing Yan is very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers. Based on their current morale, Jing Yan believes that he will not lose in the battle tomorrow!
The next day, at dawn, the Feng family troops lined up in order, waiting for the order to send troops!
The autumn sunshine is not blazing, but the soft sunshine shines on the armor of the soldiers in the front row, making it dazzling!
That’s right!
Today is a sunny day. Not only is it sunny, but the sun is rarely seen. The sun shines on people, making them warm and drowsy...
When they woke up in the morning and saw the sun rising, the Feng family's army mocked the Jiangnan garrison. They knew last night that the Jiangnan garrison had dismantled the explosives. Even if it didn't rain today, they could still have a good fight.
On the contrary, when the Jiangnan garrison saw the weather, they were all dumbfounded. General Yan couldn't hide the matter and ran to find Jing Yan early in the morning. But before he could say anything, Jing Yan said, "Believe me!"
If Qin Jiyan dares to trick him, he will definitely "help" Qin Jiyan and expose the truth about the bloodbath in Jiangnan's officialdom to see if he can secure his position as the grandson of the emperor!
"But, young master..." General Yan really wanted to believe Jing Yan, but with the facts before him, how could he believe him?
Jing Yan glanced at him and General Yan was so frightened that he immediately silenced himself and lowered his head without daring to speak.
Jing Yan didn't say anything, he just put on his armor and strode out...
The weather is fine now, but who can guarantee that it won't change in the next second?
