Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 501 Fire Oil Barrel!
One person said: "The shape of the mountain here is complex, surrounded by mountains, but a long canyon is formed in the middle, as if the dragon's abyss is directly inserted into the depths of the mountain!"

"It is also the only way to go to the Xixia Imperial City. If you take a detour from other places, you have to cross this mountain that stretches for more than ten miles. It will not work at all. The general means that I will retreat here and set up an ambush to kill Great Song army?"

Everyone is a fighter, and everyone guessed the meaning of Afur's words after a little thought.

Aful's rough and rough figure stood in front of everyone like a mountain, he stroked his bearded chin as if thinking: "What General Zhao said is right!"

"However, my original intention is not to confront the Song army head-on here, because they have powerful cannons and their army is extremely powerful. It is not easy to annihilate the entire army even in this terrain!"

"What does the general mean?"

Afur continued: "They want to attack the Xixia Imperial City, they will definitely take this road, and they will also guess that there is an ambush on this road, and send spies to investigate. Therefore, our army does not stay here, but continues to retreat five kilometers !"

"Wait for them to come after they go deep!"

Hearing this, one of the generals said: "If they have already entered this road, I am waiting to come, I am afraid it will be too late?"

"It's not too late!" Afur shook his head, with a solemn expression: "We have arrived, and their army is almost at the exit. When the two armies converge, they will definitely fight to the death, but what our army adopts is not to fight, but to use the terrain to take fire !"

"Fire?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, this kind of tactic is rare.

Judging from the map, this place is behind them, which means they still need to evacuate now.

In the past, because the supervising army was there, he couldn't be the master all the way forward. Now that the supervising army was killed, he wanted to retreat to the rear and use the natural environment to burn a group of Song soldiers to death.

Because there are mountains and forests on both sides, once you go deep, you can only move forward or retreat.

They block the way forward, and they can burn the way back with fire. At that time, the forest fires are burning around, and it will be very difficult to escape.

"How can a fire start quickly in a short time?" someone asked.

"That's easy!" Aful laughed and said, "Before the expedition, I had people prepare hundreds of barrels of kerosene, which was originally intended to be used to defend the city in the front position. At present, it is more effective to burn the Song army to death!"

Afur: "Before they arrive, our army can dig fire oil tunnels on both sides of the canyon, or simply dig pits and bury fire oil drums and connect them with oil ropes.

Once the rope is wet with kerosene, it will form a circular flame in a short time, or even explode. It will soon burn the surrounding trees, and a fire will form. The 10,000+ army of the Song Dynasty has nowhere to escape.

At that time, no matter how powerful their firearms and troops were, they would definitely die in the face of such disasters!Even if they still remain, they can no longer pose a threat to our army! "

Aful's move is full of feasibility.

All the soldiers thought for a moment and felt that it was worth a try. If they succeeded, they would be able to take down the Song army without losing a single soldier.

This is the risk of the enemy's lone army going deep without understanding the terrain.

As a native Xixia general, Afur still knows the terrain.

Because his hometown is not far from here, as a general, studying the terrain and trying to figure out the military law are of course not a problem.

In this way, their local advantages in terms of terrain are revealed, and the disadvantages of their combat capabilities compared with the Song Army are also weakened.

All the soldiers were also very excited after hearing this.

No one objected, and it was not too late, in case the enemy spies came to check in advance, they immediately retreated towards the way they came.

When the sun was about to set, the army arrived at the location.

This place is called Wengshan.

As the sun set, the bright red clouds in the sky burst into bloom, and the red light projected filled the surrounding tall trees with lush leaves.

The scenery here is beautiful, with continuous trees and towering hills. As Afur watched the sunset, his face was stained with red light.

They had come to the middle of the road, and the two sides belonged to the foot of the mountain. They had to go all the way for at least eight kilometers to reach the exit.

This is a natural road, more than eighty feet wide.

The ground is piled up with branches and leaves fluttering in the wind, half a foot deep.

Once the surrounding fire spreads, this place will instantly become the fuel of the flames, and burning the army alive will undoubtedly kill them!
Not to mention the flames, even the rising black smoke can kill people.

In many fires, people are so smoked that they are unconscious and fall to the ground, so that they will not be able to breathe if they are not burned to death by the fire.

"As long as it doesn't rain, the chance of success of this plan is higher. If it falls into the trap, even if he is an official, even the most brave military minister will die!"

Without people's restraint, Aful can use it completely according to his own ideas, so that their army can win the war as much as possible.

Next, Aful ordered people to take out the kerosene barrels in the supplies, and asked the soldiers to dig holes, burying a barrel every twenty feet or so.

When this object encounters fire suddenly, it will explode, spraying fire oil all over the sky, filling the surrounding area, and forming a powerful fire.

The Xixia soldiers were busy carrying the fire barrels one by one, digging pits, pulling strings, and a rope would come out from above each barrel to connect to another place twenty feet away.

The buried pit is located on the mountainside, so the fire will spread slowly if it is too high, and it will be easy to be found if it is too low.

They also prepared kerosene in front of the road and at the rear, and the first to burn was behind the Song army.

The road was blocked, and Song Jun rushed to face the suppression of the Xixia army.

When the army was busy, they had to check whether there were any Song army spies around.

Aful will carefully check the location of the buried fire barrels around.

If he finds something wrong, he will remind him in time. This time, Aful brought a lot of ropes, which are enough to pull them apart.

The ropes were carried by Afur, including the barrels.

The guards don't know this.

He had thought about this kind of strategy before, but he decided to use it only when he came across this road.

Without the advantage of the geographical environment, this plan is useless.

At noon the next day, Afur's 20 troops prepared all this!
Everything is perfectly covered. From the surface, there are high peaks on both sides, and the mountain road is like a curved canyon, which is as deep and long as a dragon.

It is enough to accommodate 10,000+ people to move forward in it, even if not all of them, as long as the main force is burned to death, the Song army is over.

So the number is not the key.

The key is that people like Wu Zhi, Yue Fei, and Emperor Song will die inside.

The mountain peaks are soaring into the clouds, green and lush, and there are water flow and birds chirping in the depths, and occasionally the footsteps of wild animals can be heard.

On the contrary, it seemed very quiet here. Most people would appreciate the scenery here. They would never have imagined that such a place would spark a fire.

In ancient times, fires were very serious, and they could burn tens of kilometers of mountain peaks all the way.

All the animals, insects and beasts could not escape the spread of the fire, and it could be said that they were swept away all the way.

After doing this, the Afur army retreated.

Only the spies were left with some dry food to eat, and hid in the mountains to observe the movements in the distance.

It's very secretive, even if the Da Song spies come over, they will never notice it.

What they have to do is to wait for the Song Dynasty army to come over, start to ignite the fire bucket, causing flames on all sides, and then take the opportunity to escape and report the news, so that the Xixia army will come to seal the intersection.

Come and burn in an urn.

Let the Song Dynasty army come and go.

Aful retreated five kilometers away from Weng Mountain, where the army waited.

They are practicing the formation. If the Song Dynasty spies come and find that their main force is here, they must be less vigilant when crossing the canyon road, and they are more likely to be fooled.

Aful sat quietly in the barracks, then looked at the map on the case, all he had to do was wait.

As time passed slowly.

This afternoon.

Wu Zhi's 20 troops marched here.

They were on the outskirts of the canyon, and the army stopped moving.

"You can reach Yuncheng after sixty miles, and after passing the boundary of Yuncheng, you will be the Xixia Imperial City after a hundred miles! At that time, capture the members of the Xixia royal family and destroy the country!"

Wu Zhi summoned everyone: "According to the spies, the Xixia army is less than [-] miles away from us. Everyone, take a good rest. We will have a decisive battle with the Xixia army tomorrow. Now the weather is getting colder. Stay here for one more day. We have to endure the freezing cold here." And miasma, as long as the main force of Xixia is defeated, Song will win, and everyone can go back, if they win this time, His Majesty will definitely reward you for your merits!"

All the brothers were very excited.

It's been quite smooth along the way, so they have nothing to worry about.

"Mr. Wu is right. As long as Xixia is captured, we can go back as soon as possible. Moreover, this is a battle to destroy the country. It will surely be remembered in history, and it will be a glorious deed in the future."

Song Jiang's face was flushed with excitement at the moment.

He was originally a bandit, but now he has turned into a regular army of the imperial court. He is still under Wu Zhi, and has made military exploits many times. With his official position, if he followed Wu Zhi to defeat Xixia this time, their qualifications would be even deeper.

At that time, even if they have been thieves, they will try their best to be washed away.Credit above all else.

With credit, it seems that Song Jiang and others have become taller.

By the second day.

Wu Zhi looked at the map on the table and frowned: "This is a canyon, why is there no Xixia army?"

Song Jiang arched his hands, respectfully: "My lord, our spies have carefully investigated and found no Xixia soldiers. They are not here, but five kilometers away!"

Wu Zhi was stunned: "If I were the enemy army, I should have set up an ambush here. They Xixia should know that the Song army is unstoppable. Why?"

Song Jiang, who is short but full of energy, said with a smile: "My lord, maybe these Xixia soldiers were too scared to fight when they heard about your arrival. They were afraid that they would be defeated if they encountered us, but they couldn't escape because of the narrow terrain. We chose an open place behind, and if the situation is not good, we can disperse and run for our lives!"

Wu Yong next to him also nodded.

It's not that they were careless, but most likely they were.

"Ok!"

Wu Zhi nodded, it sounded like that, the Xixia soldiers all fled in haste along the way, some surrendered and some abandoned the city.

Completely vulnerable, he believed that many Xixia generals would not dare to meet Yue Fei and him head-on.

If they don't have confidence at the beginning, they may really think of running away if they can't handle it.

After all, this is the last military force of Xixia, if you can't defeat Xixia, you will die, and being a deserter is not a big deal!

Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, if this is the case, then there is no need to worry.
