On the tower of Pi Lao Pass, the famous Korean general Jin Pao, one of the top ten heroes of Beiyuan, sat at a low table, with his hands crossed and his eyes focused on a map spread out on the table.
In this map, he deliberately marked the four locations of "Yi Mountain", "Pi Lao Pass", "Wangwu Mountain" and "Tang County", in an attempt to attack Pi from the perspective of the Wei army's commander, Wei Gongzi Ji Run.
This is a great way to be prepared in advance.
To be fair, Jin Mao had no intention of looking down on his opponent, the Wei Gongzi Ji Run. Although the opponent was indeed too young, the three battles of "Weichuan Sanchuan Battle", "Four Kingdoms Attack Chu Battle" and "Wei Qin Sanchuan Battle",
This is enough to prove the talent of Wei Gongzi Ji Run in commanding operations.
Therefore, Jin Miao ignored the opponent's age and directly raised the threat of Wei Gongzi Ji Run to the highest column - "Highest Threat"!
Who are on the list of "highest threats"?
In fact, there are not many, such as "Tian Ao", the commander of Qi's Julu Navy, who was once very feared by South Korea, "Tian Dan", the general of Qi who defeated more than fifty cities, Shouling Jun Jingshe and Xiling Jun of Chu
Qu Ping, etc., are all famous generals who have enjoyed great reputation in various countries in the Central Plains.
Oh, by the way, I remember that a few months ago, there was another person included in the "highest threat" list by Jin Fu, and that was the previously unknown Wei general Jiang Bi.
Famous generals at this level generally would not do meaningless things during the war. Therefore, Jin Mao never believed that Wei Gongzi Ji Run's purpose of setting fire to Yishan Mountain was just to burn some Korean garrison troops on Yishan Mountain.
His first thought was to suspect that the other party was trying to take advantage of this mountain fire to occupy the top of Yishan Mountain.
But... this strategy is too superficial, right?
Jin Mao was frowning and thinking deeply when he suddenly saw a general walking into the gate building, clasping his fists and saying: "General, I have already followed the general's order."
What did Jin Miao ask this Korean general to do?
In fact, it is very simple, just clearing a fire separation zone on Yishan Mountain.
You must know that Yishan Mountain does not have only one hilltop. Although the westernmost hilltop has been engulfed by raging flames, the fire has not spread to the east. Therefore, Jin Pao ordered his soldiers to cut down the hills between the west hilltop and the east hilltop.
The trees in this area have artificially created a clearing.
In this way, the fire on Yishan Mountain would not be able to spread to the east, so there was no possibility that the Wei army could take advantage of the time difference between the fire on the western and eastern hills of Yishan to extinguish this hill.
Of course, if the Wei army were to forcefully occupy the west side of the hill that had been swallowed up by the sea of fire, then Jin Bo would not mind firing a few volleys of powerful crossbows at the bare hilltop to see if there was any cover.
Can the Wei army grit their teeth and hold on without retreating?
I have to say that using arson to achieve the goal of occupying the top of the mountain is indeed a good method, but it is a bit underestimating him.
What? Do you think he, Jin Yao, is an unknown person who doesn’t belong to the elite? Will he be fooled by this kind of trick?
"snort!"
Jin Yao sneered secretly in his heart.
After a while, a Korean army scout hurried up to the gate tower, knocked on the ground and reported: "General, the Wei army has increased its troops in Wangwu Mountain. General Qingyao is asking for assistance."
Jin Mao frowned slightly.
Qingyao was his deputy general, the general he sent to take charge of the overall situation when he decided to increase troops on Wangwu Mountain. Jin Pao believed that as long as this person was stationed at Wangwu Mountain, the Wei army would not be able to do anything on that hill.
However, the Wei army suddenly sent more troops to Wangwushan. Does this have anything to do with them letting Yishan burn?
"It seems that 90% is planning to attack the east and the west... The idea of deliberately increasing troops in Wangwushan to attract me, the real purpose should be in Yishan... Tsk, tsk, I really want to see if the other party finds that the fire cannot spread to Yishan.
What kind of expression would Master Wei have on the east side of the mountain?"
Jin Mao chuckled a few times, and immediately ordered down, dispatching 3,000 crossbowmen to secretly go to Yishan Mountain, preparing to wait for the Wei army to take the opportunity to occupy the west side of Yishan Mountain, and give the opponent a powerful blow, although it may not cause many casualties to the Wei army.
, but I believe that defeating the opponent's conspiracy will have a positive effect on the morale of our own soldiers.
While Jin Mao was waiting silently, in Tang County, Wei army coach Su Wang Zhao Hongrun was also waiting, but what he was waiting for was somewhat different from what Jin Mao thought.
One day and one night had passed since the order was given to set fire to Yishan Mountain, and the fire in Yishan Mountain was still burning. The infiltrating fire gradually spread towards the west side of Yishan Mountain.
The white smoke produced by the burning sea of fire also slowly drifted towards Pilao Pass, which was not far from Yishan Mountain. The guards at Chodi Pass coughed non-stop.
However, what was inconsistent with Jin Mao's guess was that Zhao Hongrun never issued an order to prepare for the occupation of Yishan. He did nothing except ordering the arson of Yishan.
It was as if he was just lying on the bed inside the tent with his hands on his head and his eyes closed to meditate.
"Your Highness." Zongwei Zhou Pu came to the commander's tent, clasped his fists and reported, "Following Your Highness's instructions, eight wells and carriages have been built."
"Oh." Zhao Hongrun responded casually with his eyes still closed, as if he had already guessed it.
But think about it, the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army, the two armies of King Su, together have a strength of one hundred thousand, and it would be nothing to build eight well-mounted chariots in one day and one night. If it weren't for Pi Lao Pass,
Due to the terrain constraints, the Wei army could build dozens or hundreds of well-mounted chariots in just a few days.
But what the sect guards were puzzled about was the purpose of His Highness ordering the construction of these eight well-mounted chariots.
At first, Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao guessed that it was used to attack Pi Laoguan from the front, but looking at His Highness's absent-minded look, it seemed that there was something different from what he had guessed?
In the evening, the Green Crows brought back the latest news about Yishan.
"Report!...The Korean army cut down some trees between the east and west hills of Yishan Mountain, so that the fire could not spread to the east hills."
After hearing the news, Zhao Hongrun remained calm and said calmly with his eyes closed: "The response is very fast. He is worthy of being one of the top ten tycoons in Beiyuan... If my prediction is correct, he should be here at this moment."
I suspect that our army is trying to take advantage of the fire to capture Yishan Mountain."
"Isn't it?"
General Qu Cheng of the Yanling Army, who had nothing to do and came to the commander's tent to await orders, frowned slightly when he heard this.
You know, he initially felt that His Highness Prince Su's purpose of setting the fire was to buy time for the Wei army to occupy the top of Mount Yi, but now from the tone of His Highness Prince Su in front of him, it seemed that His Highness Prince Su had other plans?
In the tent, Wu Ji, the general of the merchant navy, also showed a puzzled expression.
Just when Qu Cheng and Wu Ji were confused, they heard Zhao Hongrun say calmly: "If our army insists on spreading the fire to the west mountain of Yishan, does Jin Mao think he can stop it?...Wu Ji, early tomorrow
When the sun rises, you deploy some catapults in the army and throw oil barrels towards the west hill of Yishan Mountain. Remember not to waste it, as long as it ignites the trees on the west hill."
The "oil barrel" he refers to is a wooden barrel filled with oil produced in Guizhou Province. It was the greatest contributor to the surrender of Sichuan Luo and the destruction of Jiejiao. It is also the most powerful war weapon of the Wei army at present.
"Yes!" Wu Ji nodded and clasped his fists, accepting the general order. Then he asked in confusion: "Why is it when the sun rises tomorrow morning?"
Zhao Hongrun smiled slightly and said: "No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat... If what I have predicted is correct, then Han General Jin Ao will definitely be on guard against our army taking the opportunity to seize Yishan Mountain. Therefore, he will probably
Secretly deploy troops to the east hilltop of Yishan Mountain, and wait for our army to seize the west hilltop, and use a volley of crossbow bolts to give our army a head-on attack... You have to give him some time to deploy troops and garrison, right?"
Wu Ji suddenly realized it, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he laughed maliciously: "The general understands."
So on the next day, Wu Ji followed Zhao Hongrun's instructions and mobilized hundreds of Shangshui soldiers to push several catapults to the foot of Yishan Mountain. After choosing the direction to face the east mountain of Yishan Mountain, several catapults
Throw the oil drum with the cloth on fire far away.
In an instant, only a few roars were heard from the distant Dongshan Mountain of Yishan. Immediately, a fire broke out in the mountain forest that would not have been spread by the sea of fire. With the help of oil and autumn wind, the fire became more and more intense.
.
Vaguely, Wu Ji heard bursts of exclamations and shouts coming from the Dongshan Mountain of Yishan in the distance. He smiled evilly and immediately returned to Tang County with hundreds of merchant navy soldiers pushing catapults.
At the same time, the Korean soldiers on the upper floor of Piluo Pass also told General Jin Mao the news that the eastern mountain top of Yishan Mountain was also shrouded in a sea of fire. Jin Mao was dumbfounded.
Good guy, since the fire can't reach the east mountain top of Yishan Mountain, let's just create another fire.
"That Mr. Wei...isn't he too real?"
Jin Mao couldn't help but feel a little lost.
At this moment, there was something strange in his heart: it was obviously not a clever strategy at all, but there was nothing he could do about it.
But after calming down, Jin Mao also came to a conclusion: Wei Jun seemed to have made up his mind to take advantage of the situation to seize Yishan Mountain.
"Give me an order to ask the soldiers on Yishan Mountain to control the fire as much as possible and make sure that the fire cannot spread." After issuing this general order, Jin Mao once again decided to send 2,000 more soldiers to Yishan Mountain to help put out the fire.
After all, if the sea of fire really spreads to the east side of Yishan Mountain, so that the Korean army cannot prevent the Wei army from seizing the top of the mountain, then the situation of the Korean army will not be good.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Jin Mao was slightly startled, and he felt a chill on his cheeks for a moment.
Just when he was surprised, a raindrop fell on his cheek, causing his tense face to finally reveal a smile.
"Oh, God helps our army."
At the same time, Zhao Hongrun, who was resting with his eyes closed in the tent, vaguely heard the rustling sound coming from the tent, couldn't help but open his eyes, got down and walked out of the tent.
I saw outside the tent at this moment, the rain was starting to fall, getting heavier and heavier.
"Ha! God helps our army."
After uttering the same emotion as Jin Mao, Zhao Hongrun shouted in a deep voice: "Send the order, recruit 10,000 elites, and send troops immediately to Pilao Pass!"
"yes!"
The nearby Zongwei and soldiers responded with clasped fists.
