"You can really kill people from a hundred feet away!"
When Huangfusong and Zhu Jun saw someone falling from the tower, their eyes widened and they were shocked.
Chen Mu was also surprised. He originally wanted to use the weak heat-gathering effect of the sun to see if he could light the scarecrow below the tower, but he didn't expect an unexpected surprise.
But I think so, why do police officers often shine bright lights into the eyes of prisoners when interrogating prisoners in movies? It’s because ordinary people’s heads will feel dizzy when they are suddenly exposed to strong lights, making them unable to concentrate and think, making it easier for the police to break through their psychology. Line of defense.
After Gao Feng was exposed to the strong light, he might have been fine if he had closed his eyes, lay down on the spot, and waited for his blindness to slowly recover. But at this time, when he was determined to die, he climbed down from the tower and lost his footing when he was dizzy. , it would be strange if nothing happened.
However, of course Chen Mu would not miss such a good opportunity to accumulate fame. He smiled casually and said, "How are you two generals? Now that the person who cast the spell is dead, the witchcraft will be broken naturally, so the generals can rest easy."
Zhu Jun admired him and said: "My son returned home to study his origins, and his knowledge is extraordinary. He can even defuse these magical things, and he is truly a god. After this incident, I will report it to the imperial court for commendation."
Chen Mu smiled and said nothing. There was no need to speak modestly, but there was no need to boast. For some things, just let him develop them naturally.
But even though he felt that his life had been saved, Huangfusong was still worried and asked: "Zi Gui, this technique is broken, but when will the wind come again?"
Chen Mu shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "General Huangfu, don't be in a hurry. Just wait."
"We still have to wait."
Huangfusong scratched his head. Even though he had defeated the Yellow Turbans' arrogance several times in the past few days, after all, they had an army of more than 100,000, and the city was full of less than 20,000. If there was no wind, he didn't know how many more attacks they could withstand the Yellow Turbans.
"How long do we have to wait?"
Zhu Jun was also worried about this problem. He and Chen Mu were getting closer and he didn't have so many scruples about what he said. He asked: "Is there any calculation on the specific date?"
Chen Mu pretended to pinch his fingers, walked slowly to the edge of the high platform, looked at the deserted countryside to the east, opened his arms, closed his eyes and savored it carefully.
The summer is hot, the sun is shining high, and there is no sign of wind.
After a while, the branches of the trees on the distant mountains suddenly trembled slightly, as if waving to the sky.
The weeds in the field bent slightly, the foxtail grass and dandelions slowly swayed, and a whistling sound whizzed past my ears.
Chen Mu raised his head and looked at the sky. A wisp of cool breeze blew across his face. He pointed to the southeast and laughed: "Look, isn't that wind coming?"
"The wind is coming? Where is it?"
Huangfu Song put up an arbor and looked around. The breeze had no color or shape, and he could not see anything.
Whirring whirring!
The next second, a sudden strong wind blew on his face. Huangfu Song was caught off guard. He closed his eyes and took a few steps back. However, he had no time to hold on to the official hat on his head and blew away the military commander's crown he usually wore. fly.
"General."
Many soldiers around him hurriedly gathered around him, and some soldiers hurriedly chased He Guan.
However, Huangfu Song didn't care about the flying hat at all. After several soldiers supported him, Huangfu Song was overjoyed and excited: "The wind, the wind is really coming, hahahaha."
Chen Mu felt the roaring southeast wind, but in his heart he was grateful to his high school geography teacher.
It rains in the sun's halo at midnight, and it winds in the moon's halo at noon.
It's a fish-scale sky, and it's windy even if it doesn't rain.
The sunset is yellow and clear, and there will be strong winds tomorrow.
Looking at the weather over the past few days, there are many signs that there will soon be a southeasterly wind.
Now it seems that the geography teacher is not deceiving me.
The southeast wind blew swiftly and fiercely in the afternoon, making the military flags on the top of the city flutter. Sand and rocks were flying under the city, and the dust was flying.
Huangfu Song was helped into the tower. Zhu Jun's clothes were flying up and down. He had to cover his face with his hands and shouted to Chen Mu: "Zigui, come into the tower to talk."
Chen Mu's clothes were also fluttering like a fairy, and he looked up at the sky.
The sunshine in the afternoon was much dim, and the strong wind blew the clouds over, covering the sun. However, he knew that the weather was now a severe drought and it would not rain. He had seen dewdrops in the morning, and they had evaporated completely in an instant.
This is really good weather to set fire to.
Back in the tower, Huangfu Song was still laughing, grinning from ear to ear, pointing at Chen Mu and saying: "Chen Zigui, Chen Zigui, at first I thought you were talking nonsense. I never thought you could really borrow the east wind. Your ancestors Qu Nihou, I’m afraid it’s nothing more than this.”
Chen Mu cupped his hands and said modestly: "The general's reputation is far worse than that of our ancestors who were able to rule the country with their ingenuity."
"Hey, don't be too modest. Gongwei and I will be able to express your achievements to the imperial court."
Huangfu Song smiled and said: "Now that the strong wind has arrived, what should we do?"
In fact, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun certainly knew what to do.
However, by asking Chen Mu first, it shows that they have recognized Chen Mu's strategy and respect him.
Chen Mu replied without hesitation: "We should start the fire tonight without further delay."
"good."
Huangfu Song patted the table in the tower and said to the messenger: "The soldiers of the three armies are ordered to prepare for battle tonight."
"only!"
The soldiers went out to deliver orders.
Huangfu Song said to Chen Mu again: "You planned this plan, and you will implement the fire attack plan."
This is to put the first credit on Chen Mu.
In fact, Huangfusong and Zhu Jun no longer value merit so much.
Because as long as they break the Yellow Turban, it means that their command is good, and the first success will naturally fall on them.
As for who has the greatest credit after the order is implemented, that is another matter.
For the Han people, this situation is considered normal in the officialdom and the military.
Chen Mu said in his heart that you have a conscience, but on his face he said respectfully: "Well, Mu, go and do something now."
"Go ahead."
Huangfusong waved his hand and gave away this credit, which could be regarded as making up for a little favor.
Chen Mu left the tower and Zhang Fei was already waiting outside.
Seeing him coming out, Zhang Fei grinned: "Fourth brother, how are you? Is there going to be another war?"
Chen Mu nodded: "Yes, gather the soldiers and prepare for the combat mission."
"It's an order."
Zhang Fei pretended to salute with his hands raised.
The two of them got off the tower and rode straight to the military camp.
In the military camp, three thousand of their own troops were alone in a row of military camps.
Due to Zhang Fei's outstanding performance, he won the respect of the entire city's officers and soldiers. They were also vaguely valued and had a high status.
"Hu Ping, go gather the soldiers."
Zhang Fei came to the military camp and gave orders to Hu Ping, who was usually guarding him.
Hu Ping trotted all the way and gathered the soldiers in the camp.
Three thousand people quickly rushed out of their respective camps. It was the lunch break after lunch, and many people had just woken up.
However, Chen Mu had strict requirements on weekdays, so as soon as the military order was given, everyone immediately stood up and quickly formed a team.
Seeing that the soldiers were so fast and no one was late, Chen Mu nodded and whispered to Zhang Fei.
There was no way. In an era without loudspeakers, it was impossible to lecture three thousand people so that everyone could hear it. Only Zhang Fei, who was born with a loud voice, could do it.
"The Master has an order!"
Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder, and Chen Mu who was beside him immediately blocked his ears. He was so skillful that it made people feel distressed.
"I went to the city to collect dry firewood and grass."
"Erqu went to the back camp to get the grease fire sickle."
"Sanqu went to the craftsman's house and asked for a bow, arrow and crossbow."
"The rest of the people are waiting for instructions."
"At the third watch tonight, we will set fire to the enemy camp. Kill them all!"
