An hour and a half, fleeting.
Inside Caishiji City.
Sima Jing and Yu Yao came to the city to supervise the battle. After an hour of busy work, all parties in the city of Caishiji had been buried with charcoal and mugwort, and sprinkled with kerosene. Once these mugworts encounter an open flame, they will burn quickly and violently.
Further, the coals of fire will be ignited.
When the coals burn, Caishiji will become a sea of fire, and those who are in it will be burned by the fire.
It is impossible to put out the fire.
Escape is not easy either.
By then, the entire Caishiji will be a hell on earth and the tomb of the Qin army.
Sima Jing looked expectant and said with a smile: "Yu Yao, this battle is thanks to your plan. However, this battle will destroy our own military strength. By then, there will definitely be well-fed civil servants in the country who will criticize you."
"You don't have to worry about this matter, and you don't have to pay attention to it. I will handle it."
"If you stand up and take it, if you can't resist, you will be criticized by countless people. With me here, not many people dare to accuse me."
Sima Jing said: "Remember."
Yu Yao frowned and said, "Such a result is not conducive to His Highness."
Sima Jing smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing disadvantageous. In fact, it is better to have someone to blame. Now in the court, Bo Yun is treacherous and has more stains. It is not a bad thing. For me, at least, it is like this."
Yu Yao bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Sima Jing shook his head and said: "Thank you, you are the person promoted by my king. This time, you can strategize and adopt the most cruel means to defeat Qin and turn the tide, which will also make me proud. Your success will prove that I Wang’s choice was not wrong.”
Yu Yao said respectfully: "Your Highness, we will definitely win and end the Qin army's victory."
Sima Jing looked solemn and said solemnly: "I also believe that the final victory in this battle must belong to us. Over the past hundreds of years, the Jin Kingdom has been weak and turbulent, but it has survived and has never been destroyed. Every time At a critical moment, there is always someone who can turn the tide. I believe this will be the case in this battle as well."
Yu Yao nodded.
The two of them were talking when suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps.
A soldier came from behind Sima Jing, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, King Wu, the sentry sent news that warships from the Qin State were going down the river one after another. In half a quarter of an hour at most, they will be there." arrival."
Sima Jing flicked his sleeves and said, "I know, let's explore again."
"Here!"
The soldier turned and retreated.
Sima Jing looked at the flowing ocean with blazing fire in his eyes.
He looked solemn.
He will win this battle.
Less than half a quarter of an hour later, Sima Jing's pupils suddenly shrank. Standing on the tower, he could clearly see the Qin warships sailing on the river.
The black dragon flag of Qin was hoisted on every warship.
Under the river breeze, black dragon flags fluttered in the wind, as if they were showing off their power.
Because Sima Jing withdrew all the troops at Caishiji Ferry. Therefore, the warships of the Qin Army were able to easily dock and land without encountering any resistance.
After all, Sima Jing was going to set fire to it.
There is no need to struggle outside.
All Sima Jing had to do was to use the city wall to resist for a while, then slowly weaken the defense of Caishiji City Wall, pretend to retreat, lure the Qin army into Caishiji City, and then ignite the fire in the city.
Sima Jing looked expectant when he saw a large number of Qin soldiers landing.
Large numbers of Qin soldiers landed and stationed themselves around Caishiji City.
These soldiers took action, forming catapults one by one on the spot.
Sima Jing still didn't have any panic in his eyes, but looked expectant.
The Qin army attacked steadily and steadily with catapults. Will it be effective?
Useless.
If the Qin army attacked steadily first, he would defend for a while. With the strong city of Caishiji, Lin Feng's catapult was destined to fail and was of no use.
Sima Jing can afford to fight a war of attrition.
When the Qin army's steady attack failed, they naturally changed their strategy and turned to a large number of fierce attacks. The Qin army attacked the city in large numbers, and Sima Jing could follow the original plan to lure the Qin army into Caishiji City and then set it on fire.
"Prepare!"
Suddenly, there was shouting and shouting.
Catapults were quickly loaded with clay pots. All the clay pots were filled with kerosene, and the seals were made of linen soaked in kerosene.
When the torch was lit, the linen cloth on the seal of the clay pot burned.
Sima Jing saw many catapults and burning pots, and his pupils shrank.
Not good!
Sima Jing was not afraid of stones thrown by catapults, but he was afraid of fire attacks.
Fire starting points were arranged in all directions in the city. Once a clay pot is thrown into the city, it is very easy to cause a fire.
Unfortunately, Sima Jing couldn't stop him.
"projection!"
Hysterical roars rang out.
The catapults started running, the levers swung, and the clay pots on the catapults flew out.
The fire burned and whirred in the air. In particular, the clay pots were thrown very high and far away. Instead of hitting the city wall, they were thrown into the city. Moreover, Clay Pot's attack was not on one side of Caishiji's city, but on all four sides of Caishiji's city.
The city wall was not high, but the catapult's projection was powerful. All the clay pots fell into the city and shattered.
The kerosene flows out.
A spark, a roar, and fire snakes scurrying around, spreading quickly.
Although many clay pots failed to ignite the fire, catapults were found in all the four cities of Caishiji. Under the attack of the fire, many places where charcoal and wormwood were buried were ignited by the scurrying fire snakes.
There were fires everywhere in Caishiji City.
The firelight was even more chaotic.
Sima Jing's eyes widened when he saw this scene, and he was completely absent-minded.
Fell into a trap!
Sima Jing knew that he was being plotted.
In other words, he didn't fall into the trap, but someone knew about the plan, so Lin Feng took advantage of it and used fire to bury him.
At this moment, Sima Jing understood the reason why the Qin army did not attack in a large scale.
Lin Feng knew his plan a long time ago, so he attacked with fire. In particular, Sima Jing had to prepare for a fire attack. The city was full of bedding grass, charcoal, etc., and many of them were poured with kerosene. Lin Feng's fire attack was to take advantage of the force.
Sima Jing knew that there were people in his army who had surrendered to the enemy. But Sima Jing had no way of tracing who specifically surrendered to the enemy.
How to do it?
Sima Jing looked at Caishiji, which was on fire in all directions, and saw the billowing smoke rising. He grimaced and thought about his retreat.
However, the Qin army is watching eagerly from outside, and there are still people who surrender to the enemy inside. The strength of his troops had completely collapsed again, and Sima Jing had even seen many soldiers running around.
Yu Yao gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, I am willing to lead people out of the city to fight to the death."
"That's not necessary."
Sima Jing shook his head and said: "Fighting to the death now is of no use. Send the order and surrender!"
After all, Sima Jing did not have the fighting spirit to die.
He gave the order to surrender.
Lin Feng had anticipated his methods, so how could he resist? If he evacuates now, I am afraid that the people in the dark will stop him, or even kill him and surrender with his head.
It's better to simply surrender.
After Sima Jing gave the order, he led his army out of the city and surrendered, leaving Caishiji where the fire was getting more intense.
Lin Feng stood on the deck and saw the scene of Sima Jing leading his army out of the city to surrender, with a smile on his face.
Caishiji, won.
Next, you can go all the way east, approach Stone City, and head towards Jinling City.
