There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

This method is reliable!

At least it is much better than the two strategies of cutting off food and recruiting surrender!

What is the standard for the child's top, middle and bottom strategies?

At this moment, the pottery merchant was deeply moved.

Tao Ying is still a kid, so he is somewhat better than before.

People don't do it overnight, and the growth and accumulation bit by bit will eventually accumulate.

This kid can still carve!

Who said he was hopeless!

The potter turned around and told Tao Ji, "Brother, after the soldiers have settled down and set up camp, they will mobilize some people to cut wood and make giant shields."

The potter turned his head to look at Xu Chu again and said, "Arrange all the officers and soldiers to take turns to rest, not all of them, and be careful not to take advantage of us and send troops out of the camp to attack Yan Baihu."

"No!" Tao Ji responded loudly.

After all the arrangements were made, the five thousand soldiers and horses immediately began their respective division of labor.

The pottery merchant didn't go to rest. He stood not far away, silently looking at Yan Baihu's army village in the distance. Although the distance was not very close, he could vaguely see the situation in some villages.

From the time when the soldiers and horses of the pottery merchants arrived at the Baihu Village to the present, no one with a certain status in the Baihu Village has been seen on the stone pile fence in the Baihu Village.

The people who appeared on the stone wall to observe their own situation were mostly ordinary thieves. The reason why they were ordinary was that they could be seen from their ragged and bare clothes.

They carried miscellaneous weapons, some made of iron and some made of wood, which were extremely irregular.

However, these people seem to be strong and burly. The pottery merchant has seen many bandits since he traveled back, so it can be seen at a glance that these people are all years of fierce bandits.

The pottery merchant looked at them, and the thieves in Baihuzhai also looked at the pottery merchant and the others in panic.

But that's all.

The pottery merchant didn't quite understand why Yan Baihu, the leader of the enemy army, hadn't even shown his face so far, even if his own side had already reached this point. One appears.

It seems a bit unreasonable to say.

Chapter 293 Wendou

The battle strategy has been decided, and the next step is the time to make preparations.

Tao Ji personally recruited a group of skilled carpenters from the army to build the giant shield. There were [-] soldiers and horses in the conquest of Baihuzhai this time, and there were many people, so it was not easy to build it. Without much effort, three huge wooden shields were built in almost a day or so.

However, Tao Ying's original strategy was to build a shield car, and the big shield was a bit unsatisfactory.

However, due to the limited amount of manpower and tools, it would take a lot of work to make the wheels, so the car must not be made, and it can only be made into a huge wooden shield, and then carried by people Hold on and rush forward.

However, as far as the actual situation is concerned, such things should actually be enough. The only drawback is the number of people and weight to be lifted.

The next step is to select the candidates who will go to the formation to burn the opponent's wooden gate.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that it should be safer to fire rockets to ignite the enemy's wooden gates. They are all made of thick tree trunks, but the fire from the arrow hits the wooden door, and the burning area is not enough, so it may not be able to ignite the wooden door.

Therefore, use a giant shield as a cover, first get close to the opponent's wooden gate, let the soldiers pour the lamp oil they carry on the wooden gate, and then quickly ignite the fire at close range, so that there is a chance to destroy the opponent's wooden gate. Burn fully.

After the wooden gate was built, Tao Ji selected among the Danyang elite soldiers who could set fire to the wooden fence gate. He selected the [-] strongest soldiers from the [-] Danyang soldiers, and only these people had enough physical fitness Only by being strong can he lift the three huge wooden shields to impact the wooden door.

It is not so much a large shield as it is a huge wooden board made of wooden stakes. There is probably a long handle nailed to the bottom of the wooden board, which can be carried by a dozen people to move forward, but because the wooden shield is very heavy Even if ten people carry it, they will not be able to rush forward for a long distance, and if necessary, more than ten people will be replaced in shifts.

However, although these three large wooden shields can block the enemy's arrows, if Yan Baihu's army throws stones or giant logs when they are close to Baihu Village, those huge wooden shields may not be able to protect the safety of the soldiers. up.

So to a certain extent, Tao Ying's strategy is still risky.

But fortunately, they only need to ignite the wooden fence gate, and the Tao Shangjun should not need much time. They neither need to climb over the wall, nor rush into the car, nor fight with each other. It's just a big flower at the door of the house.

As long as they can seize the time, rush up and throw oil and torches, and start the fire on the door, then for the Jinling Army, it will be considered a victory.

Of course, it would be great if Yan Baihu's army could not stand still and the bandits in the other army's stronghold could be drawn out to confront them head-on before setting fire to it, and everything would be easier.

Xu Chu's Tiger Guards were watching the movement of Baihu Village not far behind. Two thousand strong men were waiting for the battle under the leadership of General Hu Chi. Fighting together, then Xu Chu will take the lead in the past to resist the gate of the village, and then the Tiger Guards will quickly rush into the enemy's village!

With the combat strength of the Jinling Army, it is no problem to deal with Yan Baihu's bandit army.

In addition to the large shield soldiers, Li Tong led and directed the crossbowmen to guard the rear. They used arrow crossbows as a cover to protect the soldiers carrying the three large shields from reaching the opponent's gate.

The three huge wooden shields, under the support of the strong soldiers, moved towards the gate of Baihu Village bit by bit.

The distance along this road is not very long. If an ordinary soldier wants to walk at a normal speed, it will take at most 1 minute, but carrying these three large and heavy wooden shields, the time will be lengthened A full ten times up.

Stop and go, stop and go, it seems that we will reach the gate of Baihu Village.

Baihuzhai had already dispatched crossbowmen to shoot at the large shield, but the strength of the arrows and crossbows could not penetrate the large shield at all, and at most they would stick to the wooden shield.

After a while, three huge wooden shields had arrived at the gate of Baihu Village. Without hesitation, the soldiers of Jinling City poured the oil in their hands on the wooden gate, and then threw torches on it. The wooden door was ignited in many places, and thick smoke began to billow for a while.

Two brothers, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, stood in the distance, and when they saw smoke starting to rise from the other's wooden door, Tao Ying's face immediately revealed an expression of excitement.

"Brother! Look! The enemy's gate has been set on fire! My plan has come true!"

Before Tao Yingchou had finished showing off, Yan Baihu's soldiers all put down their bows and arrows on the wooden fence.

They began to change their identities from soldiers to firefighters in an instant, pouring water down with wooden barrels "crash la la la" "crash la la la".

A bucket of water was poured on the burning point, and the fire was suppressed and extinguished immediately.

Tao Ying's eyes suddenly widened.

What to play?

The potter frowned, turned to Tao Ji and said, "Mingjiao! Burn again!"

A short horn sounded, and the soldier holding the large shield poured oil on the opponent's fence again, then lit the torch again with a fire letter, and threw the torch towards the wooden door.

The wooden door was lit again.

But obviously, the people in Baihu Village did not stop fetching water one by one.

The moment the wooden fence was ignited, buckets of water poured down from the fence gate again, suppressing the momentum of the flames below.

This time, not to mention the potters, even the elite soldiers of Danyang who were on fire before the battle were angry!

Didn't Yan Baihu's army show their rivalry?

For a while, there was a lot of people in front of the gate of Baihu Village, and the smoke and shouts continued. The fire was sometimes ignited and sometimes doused, and the thick smoke also rose and extinguished.
