Become a feudal king from today

The spring breeze blowing from the mountain road is warm and gentle.

On the wall of Feihu Pass, Chang Wei frowned after hearing the report of the scouting soldier.

"Your Highness, Xiliang has indeed laid an ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides." Chang Wei said.

Through countless deductions, they took into account various situations on the battlefield.

So before leaving the customs, he ordered the soldiers to sneak into the forest to investigate carefully.

Zhao Xu nodded.

This time he went to Jinju more to boost morale.

How to fight? how to spell? He won't interfere if he can.

Otherwise, how could these generals grow up so quickly in the war?

"You decide for yourself." Zhao Xu held the binoculars and looked like he just wanted to watch the battle.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei was slightly nervous and a little excited when he heard this.

In the battle to quell the Yuan family, King Yan commanded the whole process.

After the war, the generals were happy but also a little depressed.

They feel that their abilities are not being utilized.

As the highest-ranking general in the royal family besides King Yan, he was naturally a little disappointed.

He originally thought that the battle of Jinzhou was still an attack under the command of King Yan.

Unexpectedly, King Yan handed over power to him.

"Prepare six catapults." Chang Wei gave the first order.

There is a distance of five miles from Feihu Pass to Xiliang Yingzhai.

According to the soldiers, Xiliang soldiers were ambushing them two miles outside Feihu Pass.

Obviously, they wanted to use this long and narrow mountain road to launch a surprise attack on them.

What he wants to do now is to drive out the Xiliang soldiers.

After dispatching six catapults, Chang Wei ordered the soldiers to tie the catapults with straw and pour kerosene on them.

"General, it's the east wind now." Everything was ready, Niu looked at the flag on the city wall.

The mountain road of Feihu Pass runs from west to east.

They are in the east, and Xiliang soldiers are in the west.

There are more easterly winds in spring.

As the nursery rhyme goes: In spring, there is a strong east wind, which brings swallows to make new nests. In summer, there are strong south winds, which blow the sun like a disk of fire. In autumn, there are strong westerly winds, which heat the crops and eat the hot fruits. In winter, there is a strong north wind, blowing the snowflakes like hourglasses.

Therefore, if you use fire attack at this time, you can naturally burn from east to west.

Thinking of this, he said: "You order two thousand sword and shield men to protect the catapult, and when it arrives at the ambush of Xiliang soldiers, throw ignited stone bullets."

"Yes, general." Niucha took the order and left.

At this time, Chang Wei gave another order to Wei Qun.

Ask him to order 3,000 people to be held back. If the Xiliang soldiers attack Niucha, they will be rescued in time.

In this training competition at the South Camp, Qin Shan, Guan Tong and the young general Huo An won, each commanding 10,000 soldiers equipped with flintlock muskets.

Although the guards were not bad, they were slightly inferior and suffered defeat, so they could only continue to lead the former veterans.

After receiving the order, he immediately descended from the city wall.

Zhao Xu said nothing.

In ancient warfare, water attack and fire attack were both war techniques.

It was common to dig rivers to flood the three armies and set company camps on fire.

After all, any general would choose the former before burning mountains and suffering massive casualties of soldiers.

Therefore, Zhao Xu agreed with Chang Wei's approach of burning mountains.

Not long after, six trebuchets slowly left the city, accompanied by a large number of soldiers to protect them.

As the soldiers walked further and further away, the generals on the city wall picked up their telescopes to watch.

When the trebuchet approached the ambush location of Xiliang soldiers.

The woods were still quiet.

Due to the narrowness of the mountain road, even a queue of three thousand people was very long.

Another example is the army leaving the city.

In Zhao Xu's view, the Xiliang soldiers seemed to think that the Yanzhou soldiers had fallen into a trap.

The catapult stopped safely.

At this time, the soldiers loaded the stone bullets and lit them.

It seemed that the Xiliang soldiers reacted at this time, and a wave of arrows flew towards the catapult.

The shield bearers guarding the catapult raised their shields to resist.

But this could not stop the catapult from shooting.

A huge fireball flew into the woods diagonally above.

Then the second one, the third one...

Under the rain of arrows, the catapults fired all the stone bombs and began to withdraw.

Thick smoke began to rise from the mountains and forests on both sides.

While retreating, the palace soldiers used torches to light the hay on both sides.

After they returned to Feihu Pass, Zhao Xu could already see the red flames in the woods through the telescope.

He secretly sweated.

If this happened in modern times, I would be arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment.

"Hahaha, they will suffer now." Chang Wei laughed, and the generals also grinned.

Under the east wind, the flames were very powerful and spread to the west.

Not only can the ambush soldiers in the woods be burned away this time, but they may also be able to burn the Xiliang camp.

They were secretly proud of this, it was really a good plan.

As the fire expanded.

It seemed that the Xiliang soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they withdrew from the woods in a swarm. They swarmed onto the road in the valley and headed west.

Xiliang camp.

Ye Renrong looked very embarrassed when King Yan's soldiers set fire to the mountain.

"Deputy leader, King Yan's army did not expect to be so cautious. Our ambush seems to have been discovered." A Xiliang general said.

Ye Renrong looked worriedly at the Xiliang flag floating in the camp.

The east wind was blowing at this time, and if the mountain fire continued to burn, it might affect their camp, which would cause trouble.

"Immediately lead your soldiers to cut down all the trees within the first hundred steps in front of the camp." Ye Renrong ordered.

Not only did this ambush achieve nothing, they actually had to cut down a lot of trees.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

But he was more worried about the next war.

It was obvious that the Yan Wang's troops were not so easy to deal with.

Feihu Pass.

Zhao Xu turned down the city wall when he saw a large number of Xiliang soldiers starting to cut down trees through the telescope.

It seemed that it would take more than a day or two to take down this camp.

At least we had to wait until the forest fire was extinguished before the two sides could fight again.

Before leaving, he left a sentence, "I'm going to rest, you keep an eye on it."

"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei was like chicken blood.

Directing the war in person made him highly excited.

The generals were also excited, and the sand table simulation formed an atmosphere for them to discuss and formulate tactics together.

As soon as the Yan Wang left, they immediately discussed how to fight next according to the actual situation.

When the argument was fierce, they even blushed.

Back to the camp, Zhao Xu suddenly felt a little bored.

For the first time, he regretted not letting Feng'er and Luan'er come with him, otherwise he wouldn't be so bored.

Eating, drinking, sleeping and resting for two days.

On the third day, the wind direction turned to the west.

Because of the headwind, there was nothing left to burn, and the mountain fire gradually died out.

However, a large section of the mountain from Feihu Pass to the west of the Xiliang camp was burned bare, making it difficult to ambush soldiers.

"Your Highness, the Xiliang people are lying to us." Chang Wei said when he told Zhao Xu that the mountain fire was extinguished.

"Tell me about it." Zhao Xu said.

"In the past few days, I asked several soldiers to monitor the Xiliang camp with telescopes day and night, and found that there were 40 people living in one of their camps, not 30 people." Chang Wei said.

Zhao Xu frowned, "So there are about 40,000 people in the Xiliang camp?"

Chang Wei nodded and said seriously: "It's not wrong. The Xiliang camp has been completely investigated, and we can officially attack tomorrow."
