"Centurion, my brothers and I searched all over and found only these shabby clothes. Do you think it's okay?" Tang Tianli said loudly.
Zhao Xuanyi came over and took a closer look, picked up the clothes and touched them in his hands. The quality of ordinary people's old clothes was really not very good. They were rough and hard, but fortunately they could be used!
"Very good, very good! Tang Tianli immediately led all the brothers to open all these clothes for me and put them on the ground. Then he went to the warehouse to get a bucket of oil and used a brush to apply oil on my clothes. Try to apply as much oil as possible on my clothes. Some, save some oil, let’s just have a barrel and a half!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Use a brush to apply oil?" Tang Tianli asked strangely.
Zhao Xuanyi kicked Tang Tianli in the butt, "Hurry up, it will be dark in a while, and you will miss the battle situation. I will punish you with military law!"
"Yes!" Tang Tianli didn't know what the lord was doing, but he could only do what Zhao Xuanyi told him!
It's night in a blink of an eye. It's a cloudy day tonight. The moon in the night sky is not as shining as before, and there are not many stars in sight! The dark night made everyone feel a little uneasy. It seemed that the group of Tatar barbarians were hiding in the night and would appear like ghost soldiers at any time!
There are still only a few small torches burning on the city wall. There are still 20 soldiers on the city wall. It is no different from usual. It seems that the defense is still loose and loose. It seems that it is really waving to the enemy to come and attack us. Well, our defense is very weak!
Shen Wei and Zhao Xuanyi did not sleep tonight. Instead, they sat on the city wall on a straw mat next to each other. Shen Wei held a steel knife in his hand and seemed to be thinking about something in his mind.
Zhao Xuanyi on the side was very quiet, not talking, and there was no sadness on his face. Although Shen Wei was very patient, but looking at Zhao Xuanyi who was more relaxed on the side, he always felt something was wrong: "Young Master, is this plan of yours really okay? ?”
Zhao Xuanyi turned to look at Shen Wei and shrugged, "Relax, there won't be a fight tonight. After tonight it will be the sixth night. There are still four days left. I have to get through it no matter what!"
There won't be a fight tonight? Shen Wei was very doubtful about this statement, "Master, do you think the battle between us will start on that day?"
Zhao Xuanyi looked up at the dark night sky, the emotions in his eyes were very complicated, "It should be tomorrow! Whether you can survive the remaining few days depends on tomorrow's battle!" When Zhao Xuanyi said this, his expression was also very disappointed!
Although I already have a plan in my mind, fighting is always a matter of having more people bullying fewer people. I don’t have enough troops and weapons right now, and I don’t know if my little cleverness can work. But as of now, there is nothing else. There’s a way!
While Shen Wei and Zhao Xuanyi were chatting, there was a Tatar team of two hundred people, and then the night was slowly approaching. This group of people did not ride horses, and their only weapons were scimitars or bows and arrows. They were all lightly armed!
And they all walked lightly, for fear of being discovered by the other party. They were obviously here for a sneak attack. The twenty or so people in the front were also carrying flying claws. They threw them up the city wall and hooked them. Then they followed the rope. You can go up.
Behind the hills in the distance, Li Hanyan and several officers and soldiers watched all this quietly. Li Hanyan showed a proud smile. She knew that the Tatars did not attack frontally during the day and would definitely attack at night. Looking at them, The number of people seems to be good players!
They didn't bring cavalry or large troops, and they didn't even prepare long ladders. This group of people was obviously very confident. Li Hanyan looked at the weak defense on the city wall and felt a little hesitant. Should she give them an arrow to warn them? After all, they are also soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. It would be a pity if they were swallowed up by this group of Tatars!
The Tatar advance troops have arrived at the forward position of Huangling City. Everyone slowed down again. This time it was not a frontal attack, so there was no need to shout. The commander gave a hint again, and everyone got down and moved forward slowly! Everyone nodded, lay on the ground and continued groping towards the city gate.
After crawling about fifty meters, the twenty or so soldiers at the front suddenly smelled some strange smell. Before they could understand what it was, a special sound suddenly came from their ears [Ring, ring, ring...! 】
When a Tatar soldier was crawling, he didn't notice that there was an invisible thin line in front of him. When he touched it, the bells on it made a clear sound. Moreover, there was more than one bell on this thin line, and five or six bells made sounds together. , paving a gorgeous movement for this dark night!
As soon as Zhao Xuanyi heard this voice, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Wang Yunchuan, Wang Yunlong, shoot arrows for me!"
"Yes!" The two Wang brothers lit two rockets, fully drew the bow strings, and released the rockets instantly!
"Not good!" The Tatar soldiers knew there was an ambush as soon as they heard the bell. Just as they were about to call for retreat, they saw two flaming arrows flying in the air like two fiery meteors. Before they could react, the rockets had already struck. on the ground!
But these Tatar soldiers didn't know that the soil on the ground was now covered with tattered clothes stained with tung oil. The surrounding two hundred square meters of ground were already covered with such oily clothes! In an instant, fire burst out and the flames boiled! An area of nearly two hundred meters in diameter had turned into a sea of flames, and nearly fifty soldiers of the Tatar advance force were all swallowed up by the flames!
For a while, there were constant shouting and wailing all over the field. The soldiers were crawling and rolling on the ground. They didn't know that they were stained with oil, which could not be extinguished by burning! Dozens of soldiers ran wildly in the flames, shouting for help as they ran. If someone didn't know the situation clearly, they would think they were dancing around a bonfire!
But seeing this group of people covered in flames, how could the other soldiers dare to rescue them? They fled back one after another, watching the group of people lying on the ground rolling and beating, and finally being burned alive!
"Retreat!" With the order, the familiar retreat horn sounded again, and the Tatar soldiers who were not fired quickly ran away, for fear that the other party would bring people to intercept them!
On the city wall, all the soldiers cheered loudly when they saw the situation below. They did not waste a single soldier, and once again frustrated the spirit of the Tatar army. This excitement cannot be expressed in words. Zhao Xuanyi's plan made everyone The soldiers were impressed!
When Zhao Xuanyi saw the Tatar soldiers escaping, he felt angry. It wasn't that he didn't want the soldiers to go down and kill the enemy, but the soldiers he had needed to be used with his fingers. Otherwise, with the ones that came tonight, at least half of them could be killed. , now I can only try my best to hide my strength!
"Oh my God! Oh my God! What's going on? How did you do it? It's so awesome, miss, have you seen it?" Lychee shouted excitedly.
Qinglian patted Li Zhi's head and signaled Li Zhi with her eyes, "That's Zhao Xuanyi, don't say nice things!"
And Li Hanyan was so excited to see the enemy troops being burned, her eyes exuded excitement, and she thought to herself, this kid can do it! How did he come up with this trick? They killed fifty or sixty people on the other side without even dispatching a single soldier. This kind of strategy might not even be matched by the counselors around my father, right? It’s really amazing!
Thinking about it carefully, her pretty face turned red, no, how could I think so? Isn't this a compliment to him? No, this must be the second time, no, the third time that a blind cat has killed a mouse!
Zi Yuan's eyes were full of shock, wondering who was this Zhao Xuanyi? His style assessment is notoriously uneducated. How could he be so powerful on the battlefield?
Zhao Xuanyi saw that the enemy soldiers under the city wall had stopped moving. They should all be dead, and then he said, "Tang Tianli, I order you to lead thirty people. Go down now and kill all the enemy soldiers. No one is left alive!" "
"Yes!" Tang Tianli shouted loudly, "But the other party only has a few people, so there is no need to bring so many people, right?"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "Of course, there is another order. You lead people to dig a trench for me two feet away from the city. It is six feet deep and one foot wide. It must be dug before sunrise tomorrow, otherwise it may be... It’s our death anniversary, so you must do it for me!”
"Yes!" Tang Tianli didn't even ask. Zhao Xuanyi is now a god in his heart. As long as he can kill the Tatars, he can do anything he wants. "Brothers, put on your tools and follow me down the city wall!"
"Wait!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted to Tang Tianli. "I haven't finished speaking yet. Bury all the Tatar swords we captured in the past few days in the horse pit. There are not enough barbs, bamboo swords, and animal traps! There are not enough people." If it’s not enough, tell the city wall at any time that it will be completed tonight!”
"Yes!" Tang Tianli turned around and selected more than thirty people. These people all followed the ladder down the city wall and started working according to Zhao Xuanyi's instructions!
Shen Wei walked over and looked under the city wall, "Young Master, what are you doing?"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "This trick of the Fiery Company can only be used once tonight. It won't work the second time. Brother Shen, you should go to rest early. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow!"
Shen Wei looked at the dark night in the distance, with worry in his eyes, "Are you sure the Tatars won't attack again tonight?"
"No way!" Zhao Xuanyi raised his head and looked at the sky. "The night is not good and the visibility is not high. The traps and horse traps on our ground are what they are most afraid of. And when the vision is not good, their archers are useless." Shangli, the opponent is not a fool, and if the sneak attack fails, he will not use it a second time!"
After hearing this, Shen Wei nodded in agreement, "In this case, young master, you go and rest first. I'll watch here. If nothing happens, I'll go and rest too!"
Zhao Xuanyi did not give in, because Zhao Xuanyi was very confident in his plan. "That's it, thank you for your hard work, Brother Shen!" Zhao Xuanyi was really tired. After saying that, he went down the city wall and returned to his room. He didn't take off his clothes either. Lie in bed and sleep!
Everything in the world has two levels, some people laugh and some people cry [Pa! ] Latu slammed the table hard, "What did you say? You didn't kill anyone, and you fell into a trap?"
