Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 504 The method of cracking!

Wu Zhi thought about it when he smelled it before, but he just thought about it, and was not overly alert.

Seeing the fire spreading now, Wu Zhi was also a little belated.

Have I drifted during this time?

I didn't even think about it. Since there was a smell of oil, I should have thought that it might be because of kerosene, and the enemy would use fire to attack.

Hey!
Whether it is a war between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom or the Liao Kingdom, fire attacks are basically not used, because they are all urban warfare.

Now in the wilderness forest, the Xixia army launched a fire attack, which caught Wu Zhi by surprise.

In such an emergency situation, it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out, so Wu Zhi's responsibility will be great.

It seemed that he had underestimated the enemy a bit. The journey was so smooth. Although Wu Zhi was vigilant, he was not vigilant enough.

Careless!

But now is not the time to think about these things. Seeing that the whole army is in a panic, many generals are looking at this side, and they have no idea.

If the enemy army came over, they would just go up and do it without saying a word.

The flames and the others cannot be beaten by manpower.

Wanjun was in a panic.

At this time, a dense Xixia army suddenly appeared on the road in the distance. Afur could not see the people of the Song army, but could only see the flames burning, and there were many panicked voices.

Aful laughed.

The men next to him said: "Your Excellency is really clever! This move encircles them, without us doing it, they will be wiped out. If these people are burned to death, Da Song will have no officials, no Wu Zhi, and Yue Fei Waiting for a group of high-level generals, Da Song will not be far from subjugation!"

What this subordinate said was not unreasonable. If the king of Song Dynasty died here, the prime minister of Song Dynasty, Yue Fei and other powerful generals would all be wiped out.

The Great Song Dynasty will be in chaos, and people will panic. Even if they still have an army, without Wu Zhi and the Song Dynasty officials to calm people down, the Xixia army will definitely be able to conquer the Great Song Dynasty, and even replace it and become a new big country.

The corner of Aful's mouth rose, he felt that he was right to kill the supervisor, otherwise the current situation would not exist.

He couldn't figure out how the enemy could break through the city.

rain?

Hehe, the sky is clear and the sky is so clear, how can there be rain.

escape?
Surrounded by flames on all sides, the fire is full of fire, and entering is death.

If the army cannot rush out, the combat power cannot be displayed, no matter how strong it is, it will be a trapped beast.

The soldiers and generals on Xixia's side looked excited, and some were even cheering.

"Command, shoot arrows into the canyon, we are adding fire!"

"Yes!"

The archers of the Xixia army gathered and flew towards the sky. The arrows were densely packed in the sky to form an arc-shaped line and shot randomly over the canyon of the Song army.

"Arrows from the enemy!"

"Hide!"

The Song army took up shields, or blocked with swords.

Wu Zhi looked at the direction the arrow was coming from and knew that the situation was urgent, so he ordered the Shenwei team to bombard in that direction.

It can be said that the reaction was quick and booming. Knowing the position of the enemy, their cannons continued to bombard, and the Xixia army was bombarded to death on the spot.

"My lord, let them know our position by letting them know our position, let's retreat! They will be burned to death anyway!"

"Yeah!" Afur's brows were covered with mud, and the explosion was quite embarrassing, and he immediately asked the army to evacuate.

Aful also really admired that the Song army could still fight back at this time.

Their army withdrew, and the Shenwei cannons were not bombarding.

"What should we do? Minister Wu, if this continues, all of us will be burned to death here!"

"How can this be good!"

Anxious voices came from next to his ears, Wu Zhi forcibly calmed down at this moment, thinking about how to break this predicament.

The flame is approaching in the form of annular combustion.

If this continues, they will be surrounded and all burned.

Wu Zhi's mind was clear at this moment, and he knew that the more chaos at this time, the faster he would die.

The flame siege is not without a solution. After calm thinking, Wu Zhi thought of something.

In forest fires, the damage to people mainly comes from high temperature, dense smoke and carbon monoxide, which can easily cause heatstroke, burns, suffocation or poisoning.

In particular, carbon monoxide is latent, and it is not easy to be detected after inhalation, which will reduce people's mental acuity.

In case of a forest fire, you should first use a wet towel or clothes to cover your mouth and nose in an emergency. If there is water nearby, it is best to soak your clothes, which will provide an extra layer of protection.

Then it is necessary to determine the size of the fire and the direction in which the flames are spreading, and escape against the wind.

Wu Zhi thought of the fire information he had seen before.

If you are surrounded by fire on the mountainside, you should run down the mountain quickly and avoid running up the mountain.Usually the fire can spread upward faster than people can run, thus creating a danger.

Once the fire comes, if you are in the downwind direction, you must decisively face the fire and break through the encirclement.Do not evacuate downwind.

If time permits, you can take the initiative to ignite and burn the surrounding combustibles. After burning an open space, quickly enter the open space and lie down to avoid smoke.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi looked around, although the fire was very strong, he had to try.

"Light all the trees behind!"

They also have tools of fire in their army.

Can also use rear flames.

It's just that Wu Zhi's order puzzled them.

"My lord, now that the fire is spreading, why do you want to light it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Just listen to the order and leave the rest to me!"

Seeing Wu Zhi's serious face, the soldiers immediately executed it.

They used the branches to borrow fire in the back, and then set the branches and leaves on the ground behind and the trees on both sides on fire.

The Da Song army was crowded on a section of the road ahead, just watching an area behind them being set on fire by their own people.

Many soldiers were desperate.Originally, the fire was big enough, what does Prime Minister Wu mean by this!

Is it because they don't burn fast enough?
Song Huizong was pale and flustered in the carriage, he regretted it!It shouldn't have come out this time.

He knew that Prime Minister Wu had an idea, and there must be a reason for him to do so. In this situation, he kept wiping his sweat, it was really hot!
The fire in the rear was being ignited deliberately by Wu et al. Instead, it took the lead in burning and approaching them.

In the eyes of many people, this means that they dislike themselves for not dying fast enough.

And as the flames spread from the rear, the army continued to shrink towards the front, crowding in one place.

At the same time, Wu Zhi asked people to dig up all the rotten branches and leaves on the ground. They were standing on the rotten branches and leaves, but the army cleaned up the ground and turned it into mud.

The rotten branches and leaves were transported to the front and piled up under the joint army.

The fire was approaching step by step.

"Everyone tore off a piece of clothing, wet it with water, or used urine, and tied it between the mouth and nose to prevent smoking poison!"

Wu Zhi looked calm and gave continuous orders.

Everyone did the same, they were all soldiers, and Wu Zhi was the leader, they could panic, but Wu Zhi couldn't.

Light the flammable trees and weeds on both sides of the rear, clear the branches and leaves under the feet to make an open space, and then cover the mouth and nose with cloth, so that many soldiers lie on the ground.

These are Wu Zhi's series of orders.

Wu Zhi observed calmly.

It will take a certain amount of time for the fire on the mountainside to come down, because the wind is horizontal, which can buy them a little time.

When everyone was about to collapse, Wu Zhi's voice came: "Everyone, don't panic, I have a solution, just wait for half an hour, and everyone will be safe and sound!"

"My lord, did you solve it just now? But how to solve it, Song Jiang is ignorant, I hope my lord can solve it!"

Song Jiang's face was dark, he really didn't want to understand.

In such a situation, it is clearly a scene of annihilation of the entire army, how can it be solved?
Wu Yong looked suspiciously, as if he had thought of something, Yue Fei and others also guessed, but none of them tried this method.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "The Xixia army used fire to attack us and wanted to encircle us and burn us to death. They are adding oil and vinegar with bows and arrows, but we have Shenwei cannons, and they dare not shoot arrows. Now what we have to face is this fire. The truth before Carelessness caused such a situation, but it is not without a solution, the flames burn in a ring!"

"As long as we clean up an open space first, after the fire is exhausted and the surrounding fire comes, we can return to the open space that was lit before, so as to avoid being surrounded by flames, but smoke is inevitable, so everyone should prepare wet cloth strips to prevent smoke. fall!"

When everyone present heard this, they understood Wu Zhi's method of self-help.

Use the open space to burn a part in advance, and other flames will come over, and the previously burned area will become a fire-free area, which is equivalent to breaking the game.

Smoke is inevitable, at least it can survive.

But this method, the premise is that they have enough time and open space.

Obviously, the canyon that can accommodate 10,000+ troops is very long. As long as a part of the rear is moved over, there will be enough open space for them to burn first.

In fact, Wu Zhi did just that.

Fortunately, the Xixia enemy army was not buried at the foot of the mountain because they were afraid of revealing their flaws.

Of course, if the enemy army was really buried at the foot of the mountain, Wu Zhi would have discovered it long ago.

"My lord, this method is absolutely perfect! It is a good method!"

After hearing Wu Zhi's method.

The soldiers sighed endlessly, but at the same time they were relieved.

Looking at Wu Zhi, his eyes were full of respect.

At this moment, it is their military minister who can keep calm and come up with a solution!
Yue Fei: "Master Wu, the wind direction has changed to a certain extent!"

Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the mountains on both sides: "Don't worry, the general direction of the wind will not change in a short time. This is a local wind direction. As long as the wind keeps heading west, we will have enough time."
