Light Keeper

Chapter 372 This Mission Is A Little Difficult 49
Although the messenger didn't know why, and he hadn't heard the phrase "will not accept military orders abroad", but he had a mission.

"General, Your Majesty has an order to tell you to return to court immediately as a teacher."

When He Jiang heard this, he was annoyed.

"The mountain bandits in Zhuo County have not been wiped out yet, and there are still [-] soldiers on the front line. How can they leave as soon as they say it? It will take time for the soldiers to be recalled. If the other party comes out to pursue them, I will always have a countermeasure... ..."

What He Jiang said was true.

Let the messenger not know what to do.

According to He Jiang's thinking, many generals near Nanjun should have received orders from the old emperor, and instead of picking up those leftovers, he might as well take this place down.

After the messenger was sent away by He Jiang.

He no longer spared the soldiers, and all the more than 2 people resting in the camp were pulled out by him and pushed up.

This is already a siege at any cost.

It's not that Song Shuyun has experienced more than 5 people attacking a city together, but at that time she had 12 people on hand.

But now she only has more than 4 people!
Her face was serious, and so was Mao Xing'an.

The two of them had lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and they were so embarrassed that Mao Xing'an's beard grew out.

Seeing that the other party did not care about the cost, the two also tried their best to end in person.

When Song Shuyun was able to draw her bow, she would shoot and kill a few thousand bosses who could be seen.

When he couldn't draw the bow, he took the long knife and fought with everyone.

She relied on the sharpness of her long knife and didn't care about the accuracy. Whenever she saw someone climbing up the city wall, she would cut it down directly.

In the current scene, both sides stopped probing, and the attack on the city wall was fully spread out. Song Shuyun didn't have many commands, but Mao Xing'an's dispatches became more.

This time there were more casualties in the village.

Time passed quickly, because both sides did not rest, and many people could not even lift their weapons.

In a war of this intensity, everyone is numb to death, and can only squeeze out all potential, persist for a while and persist for a while.

Slowly, it got dark.

The opponent has no plans to withdraw troops.

The messenger sent by the old emperor also found out that something was wrong, but he was already under house arrest by He Jiang, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't see He Jiang, there was no other way.

But he couldn't cure He Jiang, but someone could.

He Jiang had already kissed the front line, but was still found.

Amidst the sound of slashing and killing, He Jiang, covered in blood, was pulled off the battlefield.

"What did you say?"

The sound of the war drum was very close to him, and he couldn't hear the person speaking clearly.

"General! Your Majesty's messenger has arrived!"

"what?"

The man moved closer to He Jiang, and his voice raised a little.

"Your Majesty's..."

"I know! Didn't I explain it, so good to take care of Mr. Messenger, how can he still go to the front line?"

The man was extremely wronged: "General, call the capital urgently! Another messenger is here!"

He Jiang: ...

He was very irritable.

"Just say I'm on the front line and you didn't find me!"

After speaking, he pushed the person out, turned around and directed again.

Song Shuyun didn't know these things, but she keenly felt the urgency of the other party.

This is the easiest time to overturn, whether it is the other party or yourself!
At night, the wind suddenly picked up, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Fighting in the rain is not good for my side. To be exact, my side has just adapted to this kind of fighting intensity, and it is not good for me to change to any fighting style suddenly.

Song Shuyun felt the direction of the wind, and suddenly, she made a decision.

"Xing'an, quickly arrange for someone to move out all the oil from the warehouse, as well as straw and wood!"

Mao Xing'an's hair was blown up by the wind.

"Ma'am, it's going to rain, so it's useless to set fire at this time!"

Song Shuyun looked at the sky, the strong wind not only blew Mao Xing'an's hair, but also the clouds in the sky, sometimes one or two stars appeared from behind the clouds.

"Listen to me! Otherwise, it will rain in a while, and it will be even harder for us to persist!"

"It should be bad for them if it rains! If it rains, the city walls will become slippery. Even if there are ladders, they won't be able to climb up!"

When Song Shuyun heard this, she shook her head.

"Then they will attack the city gate with all their strength! After the rain, the accuracy of our bows and arrows is extremely poor, and there is no way to create a blockade on the city wall."

"But the city gate is only so big, let's arrange more people to block the gate..."

Song Shuyun shook her head.

"It can't be blocked! You also know that the city gate is only so big, and there are only a few people who can block it!"

She didn't know how to explain it to Mao Xing'an. This involved a mechanical problem. When the thrust was passed on one by one, the people in the front row suffered too much thrust from the back and were easily squeezed to death. So after a certain number of people, Blocking the door can only be self-harm, and it will not be of any use.

"But setting fire won't work, will it? It's going to rain soon!"

"It's going to rain!"

Mao Xing'an was taken aback.

"How to say?"

Song Shuyun pulled him aside and whispered her plan.

Mao Xing'an was shocked.

"How is this possible? They can't see it, and neither can we!"

Song Shuyun patted him on the shoulder.

"No, we don't need to see!"

Seeing that she was so determined, Mao Xing'an didn't know what to say for a while, he was not optimistic about Song Shuyun's strategy.

But who let others be the boss!
He pulled a lot of people over and asked them to bring out barrels of oil from the warehouse, and he also brought over straw and wood.

Song Shuyun no longer went into battle to kill the enemy, but quietly observed the change of the wind direction.

She doesn't know much about the weather.

But they are backed by Jiaxiner Mountain. Most of the time, the wind blows towards them, but today the wind comes from the oblique side of the mountain. Some offset, so Song Shuyun felt that the wind direction seemed to be blowing from behind!
She needs to find a suitable place to set the fire, because it will rain in a while, this location can be closer to the mountain, so there is no need to worry about the fire becoming uncontrollable.

Most of the wood that Song Shuyun asked Mao Xing'an to take out was half-dry, and such wood was the easiest to smoke.

She also asked many women in the logistics department to seize the time to cut out the oral fluids she needed from cloth.

Barrels of oil were carried up to the city wall. There were rapeseed oil, tung oil, animal fat, various kinds, and many of them were even just moved from the kitchen!
The wind blew harder and harder, and Song Shuyun finally found the direction she needed.

Vats of oil poured down from the city wall, causing many climbers to come down from the ladder.

Seeing this, He Jiang, who was behind, had a solemn expression.

But instead of letting people retreat, he readjusted the direction of the battle.

Now there are dead bodies under the city wall that are too late to deal with. Even if there is no ladder, some people can climb up with their good skills and the uneven city wall.
