I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

After the soldiers dragged the body away, Daishan waved the sword in his hand and looked at the generals around him again.

"The main culprit has been eliminated. Everyone, how should you deal with yourselves?"

When the generals heard this, they broke out in cold sweats and knelt on one knee.

"We know we are wrong, please punish us, General!"

Daishan looked at the people kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes.

"punish?"

He walked forward step by step.

"Since you have asked for punishment, I will grant your wish."

He stopped in front of a general and said, "The enemy used the flying hook but failed. At the critical moment when they were about to fight hand-to-hand to climb the city wall, they were thrown into disarray by the opponent's fork strategy. Not only did the formation become chaotic, but the good situation of the siege was also ruined. You really deserve to be punished."

As he spoke, the sword in his hand flashed with a cold light and was raised high.

The general kneeling on the ground was soaked in cold sweat, with beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

"I know my crime, please forgive me, Your Highness, and give me a chance to make amends for my crime."

The general begged for mercy hastily, his head touching the ground and his body shaking continuously.

"How to achieve merit?"

Dai Shan raised his sword and questioned.

"Your Highness, I am willing to personally lead the charge and swear to break through the gate of Yunzhou!"

"What if we still can't break through?" Daishan asked.

The general suddenly raised his head and said, "If we can't break the city, Your Highness, I will die as an apology without your help!"

Daishan kicked the general in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

"Then you must go out and reorganize the army immediately. Under my command, Daishan, your words must be followed. When you succeed in attacking the city, I will prepare wine on the top of the city and personally celebrate your success."

"I will obey the palace order!"

The general saluted and strode out of the tent.

Daishan retracted his sword and looked at the remaining generals in the tent.

"What do you think?"

The generals hurriedly said in unison: "We swear to break the enemy's formation!"

Daishan nodded slightly.

"Then stand down."

……

Fang Yi carefully organized the fifty soldiers he had selected, and they carefully divided the large barrels of lamp oil into lightweight bamboo kettles.

This makes it easy to carry and ensures quick and agile action.

With his back against the solid city wall, Fang Yi repeatedly simulated every detail of the plan based on the enemy camp defense map in his mind, anticipating the challenges that might be encountered.

Although the discussion with Fang Bo was brief and direct, and the entire plan was finalized in just a few words, both of them knew clearly in their minds that this action was full of unknowns and risks.

Any tiny mistake could lead to overall failure, so Fang Yi was extremely cautious in every step and would not allow for any negligence.

After three detailed deductions, Fang Yi gradually came to a conclusion, "According to the original plan, proceed!"

Following Fang Yi's order, the team of fifty people quickly took the bamboo poles with pre-drilled holes and barrels of fuel, followed Fang Yi, and quietly moved towards the dried-up moat bed.

The enemy had just retreated, and it was the best time to set up a kerosene trap.

“Dig a half-foot deep trench, connect the bamboo poles and put them into the trench, fix them with the holes facing upwards, and then pour the fuel into the bamboo poles through the holes.”

He then gave orders to the soldiers around him.

"You are responsible for covering the bamboo poles with black cloth, and then hiding them with soil. Remember not to let the soil press directly on the black cloth, otherwise the rocket will not be able to ignite them."

As Fang Yi finished speaking, fifty people immediately began to work in an intensive and orderly manner.

Although the riverbed was dry, the soil was soft, and the excavation depth was only half a foot, the project progressed rapidly.

Bamboo poles were laid along the riverbed, with both ends turning toward the city wall, eventually forming a square encirclement.

Once the enemy approaches the bottom of the city wall and ignites the kerosene, Fang Yi's envisioned battlefield division will be realized, and by then, the chaos will create a great opportunity for them.

After two careful checks to ensure that everything was in place and not easily detected or damaged by the enemy, Fang Yi noticed that there were soldiers on the city wall drawing circles with torches - that was Fang Bo's secret signal.

Fang Yi immediately signaled to the people behind him: "Enemy scouts are approaching, hide!"

After saying that, he turned around and led the team to move secretly towards a small forest three miles outside the city.

The mountain is not high, with only a small forest on the top, and the Jurchen base camp is located at the foot of the mountain.

The cover of night was their best cover. Using the dim darkness, Fang Yi and his party moved silently, cleverly avoiding patrolling enemy soldiers and safely reaching the dense forest on the top of the mountain.

Fang Yi crouched low and looked towards the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain.

It was still early, and the soldiers in the enemy camp were moving around frequently. Observing the location of the fire in the camp, Fang Yi roughly deduced the internal layout of the enemy camp.

Afterwards, he verified the intelligence of a scout and confirmed that the enemy's supplies and food reserves were located behind the center of the camp. Not only was it heavily guarded, but there were also multiple patrol teams patrolling in an interlaced manner, and the defense was extremely tight.

This shows that although the Jurchens originated from barbarian lands, there must be someone in the camp who is well versed in military tactics!

After clarifying the target location, Fang Yi gathered everyone together, explained his plan in detail, and assigned specific tasks to each person.

He stressed: "Our top priority now is to stay hidden. No matter what happens in the outside world, we must not reveal our whereabouts, let alone move around casually."

Then he waved his hand and ordered: "Disperse and hide!"

As the order was given, fifty soldiers dispersed like ghosts, hiding in every inch of the hills and forests, waiting for the opportunity.

The dawn was just breaking, and the sky was turning pale.

Fang Yi slid down from the treetop silently, crawled in the grass, biting tightly on the rough bun handed to him by Dazhuang. His eyes were fixed on the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain like an eagle, his gaze sharp and inviolable.

In the enemy camp, breakfast has ended, and the soldiers who have had their fill of war food are gathering in an orderly manner. The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder that is about to sweep over, and a siege seems imminent.

Accompanied by the changing rhythm of the dull drumbeats, the army was ready to go, with a strict lineup, a rolling iron stream, and sharp eyes, pointing straight into the distance.

Daishan was wearing black iron armor and proudly sitting astride a tall warhorse. He looked down at the spectacular scene of nearly ten thousand soldiers silently gathering and nodded with satisfaction.

His voice was deep: "There is no need to attack the city wall head-on, just bluff. Once the east gate operation is successful, we will attack from both sides and capture Fang Yi alive in the city!"

He learned from the scouts that the person who shot and killed the centurion yesterday was Fang Yi.

New and old grudges are intertwined, and today, Daishan wants to settle the score in one fell swoop!

After he finished speaking, the general beside him responded and rode his horse to the front of the battle formation. With a flash of cold light, he drew his sword and said, "Attack the city!"

As the order was given, tens of thousands of enemy troops roared in unison and rushed towards the city wall like a tide.

Thousands of archers led the way. What was different from the past was that each archer was followed by a shield soldier, providing tight protection.

When they were only a few dozen feet away from the city wall, the archers crouched down, drew their bows to their full length, pointed their arrows obliquely at the sky, and launched a fierce upward shot at the city wall.

On the city wall, Fang Bo saw this and shouted, "Raise your shields!"

Immediately afterwards, the messenger's shout resounded through the sky, and everyone on the city wall quickly took cover under huge shields.

In an instant, arrows rained down, densely filling the shields on the city walls, forming a forest of death.

After three waves of arrows from the enemy, the archers retreated, and the shield soldiers and infantry coordinated forward and launched a charge.

"Shield soldiers retreat, longbows ready to shoot!"

On the city wall, the messenger's orders were like thunder, and then countless arrows flew towards the enemy like flowers scattered from heaven.

Although the direct damage was limited due to the protection of shield soldiers, the dense rain of arrows greatly curbed the enemy's advance.

Fang Bo stood on the observation tower at the city gate, staring at the enemy army gradually approaching the river bank, and his eyes unconsciously turned to the small hill not far away.

There, Fang Yi and others are hiding.

Whether this crisis can be resolved depends entirely on Captain Fang Yi...
