"Evacuate? That can't be done. Dongshan cannot be lost. If the mountain stronghold is lost, Luoyan Valley will be lost. There are so many ordinary people's villages and fields and dams, and everything will be destroyed." Bai Bing shouted.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Yes, you can't throw it away, no matter what. But if you don't have a way to crack the fire attack, you may not be able to save it even if you risk your life."
Bai Bing said: "Husband, how about we rob the camp tonight? Let's destroy their kerosene. Without the kerosene, what will happen if they set a fire? Our fortifications can also withstand it.
"
Lin Jue said softly: "I have thought about this method, but it is obvious that it will not work. The opponent must be strictly guarded tonight. The place where the kerosene is stored must be even more tightly protected. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the area.
Camp, look at it, the entire valley is full of their soldiers and horses. Even if you are allowed to have unimpeded access, it will probably take you several hours to find the place where the kerosene is stored. Not to mention that once discovered, you will be dead. You
You may be able to enter the camp alone, but it will be difficult to achieve. In fact, the role of personal martial arts on the battlefield is minimal. When I say this, don't think that I am disparaging your martial arts. What I say is the truth."
Bai Bing nodded and said: "I understand that no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you cannot easily enter and exit such a camp. So what should we do? Hey!"
Lin Jue reached out and held Bai Bing's little hand, and said softly: "There will definitely be a way. I will discuss it with the brothers and comfort them. You are right, I can't act too anxious, it will affect everyone.
Morale. Bing'er, please go back and rest. Caiwei and the others must be worried about the war situation. Go talk to them and reassure them."
Bai Bing nodded, squeezed Lin Jue's hand and said, "Husband, don't be too anxious. With your wisdom, you will eventually find a way. Bing'er firmly believes this. I'm going."
Lin Jue nodded and smiled, Bai Bing turned around and got off the wooden ladder of the arrow tower, disappearing into the forest in a leap.
Lin Jue sighed and got off the arrow tower to the open space below. A large group of Yanjun generals were gathering in the open space with solemn expressions and talking quietly. Dongshan Canyon was lost, many brothers were lost, and everyone was in a bad mood.
At the same time, the imminent crisis is right in front of us, and no one feels comfortable.
Lin Jue walked slowly over, and everyone turned around and handed over their hands: "I've seen the military advisor, I've seen you sir."
Lin Jue smiled and nodded, and saw Lu Yi standing there.
Lu Yi's face was charred, half of his hair was burned off, and there were burn marks on his face. He was the commander of the ambush in the canyon. During the evacuation, he was at the end and was burned by the fire. Fortunately, he was rescued in time, but he was also burned.
.
"Brother Lu, how is your injury?" Lin Jue asked.
"Commander, Lu Yi is incompetent. Alas, I have lost the canyon. Please punish me, military counselor. The injury is not serious, but I am very ashamed. The reputation of the Luoyan Army has been ruined in my hands." Lu Yi bowed.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Brother Lu is serious. Losing the canyon has indeed made us passive, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Brother Lu does not need to blame himself."
Liang Qidao: "Military Advisor, the canyon is lost, their troops are approaching the mountain, the situation is extremely critical, how can the Military Advisor still say it is not a bad thing?"
Lin Jue said: "Brother Liang Qi, have you ever heard of the idea of mending a hole in the sheepfold? If the sheep don't run away, they won't know there are holes in the sheepfold. We think we have a tight defense, but in fact there are still loopholes. Today's fire in the canyon has exposed it
The opponent's attack methods are also exposed
It's our weakness. Isn't this a good thing? What would happen if this fire were placed on the hillside of the east mountain of our main village? I'm afraid it would be unimaginable."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. This makes sense. The canyon may be able to block the opponent for a while. If the opponent attacks by force, they will be able to get in at a huge cost. If they set a fire under Dongshan, it will definitely be a disaster. It will cause a disaster. The losses and consequences will be unimaginable. Perhaps a fire will determine the outcome of the entire battle. Thinking about it this way, it is indeed the opponent who exposed their methods and gave the Luoyan Army a chance to wake up.
"But military advisor, now that they have arrived at the bottom of the mountain, what should they do if they use this method to attack the mountain tomorrow?" Liang Qi asked with a frown.
Lin Jue said: "This is exactly why I came to discuss this matter with my brothers. I wonder if you have any countermeasures."
Everyone was speechless for a moment. Just now, everyone was discussing how to solve this problem, but the discussion had no results.
"What I mean is that we must prepare overnight. The vegetation on the hillside must be cut down so that they will not be able to ignite the mountain fire tomorrow." Shen Tan said in a deep voice.
"Commander Shen, I'm afraid this method won't work? How can we cut down so many trees in one night? Even if it takes three days and three nights, it won't work. Look at the mountains and hills. They are all covered with vegetation. Unless there are hundreds of thousands of people in the village. It can only be achieved if the military and civilians act at the same time. But how is it possible to do this?" Sun Dayong said.
Shen Tan frowned and said, "That's right. It's too late to do it now. You can't do anything after dark either. I'm just thinking too much."
Lin Jue said: "It doesn't matter if I'm wrong, I'm afraid I don't dare to say it. This method is indeed impossible, and it cannot be done in a hurry. If you have more time, it is still feasible. Who can tell me what else can be done?"
A group of people racked their brains to come up with suggestions. Some said that some trees could be cut down to build a fire break around the hillside to prevent the spread of wildfires. Some said that if a fire breaks out tomorrow, buckets should be prepared to wet the grass and trees around the fortifications to prevent burning. He also proposed a plan to attack the camp, saying that it would be better to attack the camp tonight and turn passivity into initiative.
These methods were obviously useless. Although Lin Jue said nothing, his expression told everyone that those suggestions were useless. He was in a hurry and sought medical treatment. Everyone had no idea at the moment, and the methods he came up with were a bit ridiculous.
"Brothers, you have all seen the fire burning with kerosene. The entire mountain is burning today, which is extremely violent. When the fire burns, basically you have to evacuate immediately. All subsequent measures are in vain. I I think it’s impossible to rely on passive methods.” Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"Brother, do you mean to attack the camp? Okay, let's get ready and kill him tonight." Ma Bin said, gearing up.
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "It is unrealistic to attack a camp. A military camp with hundreds of thousands of troops is like hitting an egg against a stone. Although our Luoyan Army is not afraid of death, we cannot commit suicide ourselves."
"Then what did the military advisor think? Don't give in, we are all anxious." Liang Qi said.
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "I did have an idea just now, but I don't know if it can be realized. What we actually have to do is to prevent the other party from setting fire. As for how to prevent the other party from spraying fire oil on the hillside to set fire, I think it must be destroyed. The other party's fire oil was burned. Human intervention may not be possible. I was wondering if we could do this before the officers and soldiers set the fire. From this, I thought of a way. That is..."
public
People stretched their necks and listened intently, and suddenly there was a burst of surprise.
…
There was no talk all night. The Luoyan Army on the hillside was of course well prepared to prevent the officers and soldiers from attacking at night. The officers and soldiers were also on strict alert all night to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the military camp. Guo Xu had no plans to attack at night. There was no wind at night, so even attacking with fire was not satisfactory.
.In addition, fighting in the dark is not the strong point of the officers and soldiers. The victory is already guaranteed, so why bother to make sneak attacks at night and make them angry? Tomorrow is the day when the Luoyan Army will be destroyed. There is no need to build fancy things, just defend the military camp.
When the autumn sun rises, the air in the valley is cold, and the ground is covered with a thin layer of white frost. It feels like winter for a while. Guo Xu has never experienced the climate in the mountains. It was really cold in the middle of the night last night, and he even called the waiter.
I had an extra quilt so I could sleep peacefully. This morning, I actually put on a jacket.
Guo Xu did not rush to order an attack, but ordered the whole army to have breakfast before beating the war drums and raising troops. In fact, there was nothing to say. Guo Xu simply said a few words, and the general idea was nothing more.
That is to say, we will still attack the mountain with fire today. The battle must be resolved today, and the Luoyan Army's lair can be defeated tonight. After that, each army can chase the other's fleeing soldiers in the mountain.
No one thought that Guo Xu's words were too complacent, because after yesterday's battle in the canyon, the officers, soldiers and generals also believed that the opponent could not resist the fire attack method at all, so they would definitely win. This was not a problem at all.
With this relaxed mentality, the army came out of camp and lined up in the valley. In the morning sun, the dragon flag was fluttering, the horses neighed and the people screamed, which was very impressive.
Following the order, more than a dozen flame chariots slowly drove out from the military camp again. The soldiers carefully drove the carriages and pulled the heavy flame chariots loaded with kerosene close to the hillside. Today, a larger water dragon was replaced.
, a few more flame trucks were also added. Guo Xu’s intention was to spray more kerosene over a longer distance and create a larger fire.
What makes Guo Xu even more happy is that today's wind is actually from the east. Although it is not strong, it is the wind that blows the fire up the mountain and the kerosene floats up the mountain. This is really an excellent opportunity for a fire attack.
Eighteen flame trucks slowly approached the bottom of the hillside, trying to get as close as possible in order to spray the kerosene farther. At the same time, there was no need to worry about the iron tank kerosene trucks penetrating the enemy's arrows, so there was no need to worry about getting close to them.
What danger.
Guo Xu sent an order from the rear, asking all the flame cars to start spraying fire oil. All the soldiers immediately took action and set up water dragons as thick as a bowl and pointed them towards the hillside. Dozens of fine soldiers were already working hard.
Prepare to push the piston and shoot the kerosene further up the hillside. After the kerosene valve is opened, everyone holds on to the rear rod of the piston and starts to push hard. A stream of kerosene is spurted out by the powerful piston.
Ten feet away, the wind spread it even further to a higher hillside. In just a moment, the pungent smell of kerosene filled the hillside.
The water dragon continued to spray kerosene, and eighteen flame cars were lined up. The soldiers shouted slogans and pushed the pistons hard, and streams of light yellow liquid sprayed up the hillside and sprinkled among the vegetation and rocks.
On a small piece of flat land above the hillside, Guo Kun, Lin Jue, Ma Bin, Shen Tan, Liang Qi and other key personnel of the Luoyan Army gathered here. Everyone watched helplessly as Lin Jue and Liang Qi led a group of soldiers busy around the Shenwei General Cannon. Lin Jue held his hand
He was still writing and drawing in a small notebook, and kept mumbling something.
