He Wenchang was about to leave when he suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from the front of the camp. He immediately retracted his raised legs, returned to the camp of the Third Department of Education, and ordered: "Close the gate of the camp immediately.
Call all the soldiers to guard against the enemy."
He raised his head and looked to the north again, and saw that some places were already lit up with red light, and he understood that the attackers had set fire to some firewood, hay or tents. Fortunately, the wind was not strong tonight, and the fire would not spread quickly; Annan's
The climate is also relatively humid and should be able to contain it.
But fire obviously caused panic. There are countless examples of using fire attacks to defeat the enemy in Chinese history, especially several famous battles in which the weak defeated the strong, such as the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Yiling, and the Poyang Lake of this dynasty.
In battles, fire attacks are used to defeat the enemy and win the war.
Even Long Shangdeng said in a panic: "There's a fire in the north? What's going on? Do you want everyone to get ready?"
"No need!" He Wenchang shouted loudly: "It's just a small flame. The wind is not strong tonight, so it can't be burned!"
"But," before Long Shangdeng finished speaking, He Wenchang interrupted: "There is no but! The fire will definitely not come over!"
Long Shangdeng was shocked by his momentum for a moment and froze on the spot.
At this time, the man who had been standing behind Long Shangdeng, wearing a loose Ming Dynasty Qianhu military uniform, said softly: "Sir He, even if the fire doesn't burn, judging from the direction of the sound, the Annan people should be fighting to capture the thieves.
The idea of capturing the king first is to raid His Highness King Jingjiang’s camp, should we mobilize troops and go to the rescue?"
He Wenchang was about to agree to something, but when he opened his mouth, no words came out. Instead, he lowered his head and started thinking. The person who just spoke didn't bother him either.
After a while, He Wenchang raised his head and shouted loudly to Long Shangdeng: "Tu She, gather all the soldiers in the camp immediately and follow me out of the camp."
Long Shangdeng thought he was going to lead his soldiers to rescue Zhu Zanyi, and immediately greeted him: If they had made His Royal Highness King Jingjiang safe, they would have made a great contribution, and the Ming court would never be stingy with the reward; even if they had not made any merit, they would have done a great service.
, and they were able to become familiar with each other in front of Zhu Zhanyi, Zhu Zhanyi had to come up with something to reward them as a reward. Several village leaders probably thought of this, so they greeted their soldiers very hard.
Soon, more than a thousand people from the Third Education Department gathered together, and under the leadership of He Wenchang, they left the camp and rushed to one place.
But Long Shangden immediately discovered something was wrong: "Master He, His Royal Highness King Jingjiang's camp is in the north, not in this direction!"
"Yes, it is in this direction." He Wenchang said: "His Highness's camp is protected by the powerful Guilin left guard, which has been run by His Highness for many years. It is also inside the camp. There will not be many Annan soldiers attacking the camp, even if something unexpected happens.
They may not be able to defeat the Guilin Left Guard. As long as they delay for a while, the Jinwu Vanguard and other guards near the Guilin Left Guard will rush over immediately. They have no chance of winning. So the real target of the Annan people is definitely not His Highness!"
"You mean," the person who just spoke said again, "the Annan people's raid on His Royal Highness King Jingjiang's camp was just a pretext to attack the east and west, and what they really wanted to attack was another target?"
"That's definitely the case." He Wenchang glanced sideways at the woman who just spoke and said.
"Could it be the artillery team? Artillery is very important in siege warfare. If the Annamites destroy all the cannons, even if there are a few cannons on the ship, they will not be much more than the cannons at the head of Nanding City. The pressure on them to defend the city will be greatly reduced.
." The woman said again.
"It's not cannons! There are more important things in the camp than cannons. That must be where the Annamites want to attack!" He Wenchang said.
…
…
"Quickly, light up the fireworks that mean 'It's safe here, the enemy's main force has other goals.'"
Lin Yurong hurriedly walked out of the tent. Lin Yurong, who was still getting dressed, ran to someone and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, there are Guilin left guards guarding you. There are at most three thousand Annan people attacking on the other side. Even if the Guilin left guards were in a hurry, they could only
It can exert 60% to 70% of its strength, but it is not something that the Annan people on the opposite side can defeat. Their real goal must be something else. Send a signal immediately and let the soldiers from each camp rescue their real goal!"
"Sir Lin, my subordinates cannot send such a signal!" The person in charge of keeping the fireworks stopped in front of Lin Yurong and said: "Sir, this is just your guess, and it may not be accurate."
"My guess is definitely correct! Send out fireworks immediately!" Lin Yurong shouted again.
"No! His Highness's safety is more important than anything else, and we must not take any risks. Unless ordered by His Highness, my subordinates will never send off fireworks with such meaning!" The man said firmly again.
Lin Yurong glanced at the soldiers behind him, cursed "short-sighted" bitterly, and hurriedly ran to Zhu Zanyi's tent.
At this time, dozens of soldiers from the Guilin Left Guard had gathered around the tent with the "Jingjiang" flag hanging around. They all held hand crossbows in their hands, and there were crossbows loaded with arrows at their feet. The crossbows in their hands were shooting
After finishing, you can immediately pick it up from the ground and continue shooting.
Lin Yurong held up his hands and was inspected by them before he was able to enter the tent.
As soon as he walked in, Zhu Chanyi, who was stamping anxiously in the tent, came up to him and said, "Lin Aiqing, the Annan people who attacked the camp have already reached the tent where you are?"
"No, I am here because I have other matters that need to be dealt with immediately by Your Highness."
Lin Yurong said: "Your Highness, I heard from the voices outside that the Annan soldiers who attacked the camp were only more than 3,000 people, and the Guilin left guard guarding Your Highness had nearly 10,000 people. And because of the movement of the Annan people when they broke into the camp, most of them were there.
The Annan people had already woken up before they suddenly came over, and the Annan people's attack on His Highness's camp will not be successful."
"The Annan people themselves should also know about this, so I think that the target of their attack on the camp must be other than His Highness."
