Chapter 1260

After occupying Changdu, the Baizhan army led by Nie Ze did not move. First, it firmly controlled the center of Zeping County, which made the wind force in Zeping county take the initiative. Secondly, it also ensured the supply of the whole army. It was often the county city with sufficient grain reserves. Even if it could not afford to support hundreds of thousands of Baizhan army, but with the plundering ability of Zhen people, starvation could not kill them, at best The people of Mo, both inside and outside Changdu, suffered a lot.

When the Baizhan army stopped to make repairs, the main force of the Mo army stationed in Panling was left to the plain army and the flying dragon army. According to Tang Yin's idea, the Baizhan army was the vanguard army, and the task of fighting with the main force of the Mo army naturally fell on the Bai Zhan army. In this way, the main force of the Mo army in Zeping County could be eliminated, and the strength of the Baizhan army could be greatly weakened. However, by chance, the Baizhan army and the main force of the Mo army passed by, but the plain army and the flying dragon army had to gnaw down this difficult task Hard bone.

Although it was easy for the Baizhan army to open the Panling, now it is the turn of the plain army and the flying dragon army. The situation is different. When the Baizhan army attacked Panling, the Mo army deliberately let out water and did not do a decent defense at all. But now, Panling has become the only straw for the Mo army. Only by holding Panling can they stop the reinforcement of the hundred battle army and have the hope of victory. Once Panling is lost, their battle in Zeping county will be completely defeated. At that time, they will have no choice but to die.

Therefore, for the Mo army at this time, the battle of Panling can only win, not fail, and it is the last fight to break the ship.

Before the plain army and the flying dragon army attacked Panling, Xiao MuQing and Zuo Shuang, the commander-in-chief of the two armies, had a premonition that this battle would be very difficult.

Zuo Shuangyou has made a detailed analysis of the current situation of the Mo army, and has come to the conclusion that the 400000 Mo troops stationed in Panling are bound to stick to Panling, and the 16 barracks in Panling are all endowed with unique advantages and excellent positions, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the Mo army has a strong fighting spirit, it can be considered that the plain army and the flying dragon army jointly attack and are hard to break.

As for the conclusion of Zuo Shuang, Xiao MuQing disagrees. He also admits that Panling is not easy to play, but he can't stop playing because Panling is difficult to play?

He said to Zuo Shuang, "it's better to put yourself in a position to have a look and have a look."

Zuo Shuang grinned bitterly and said: "I'm afraid that after seeing it, General Xiao will lose his desire to attack and fight."

"That may not be so!" With a smile, Xiao MuQing and Zuo Shuang led a group of military generals to go to the first barracks set up by the Mo army in Panling.

The camp is built on a gentle slope. To attack, you have to attack from the bottom to the top. The terrain alone makes the attacker fall into a three-point disadvantage.

Xiao MuQing and Zuo Shuang did not dare to get too close to each other. They looked from a distance of 100 meters away from the enemy camp for a long time. Zuo Shuang turned to look at Xiao MuQing and asked, "what does general Xiao think?"

"It's not easy to attack hard!" Xiao MuQing held back for a long time to say such a sentence. He frowned, put up a canopy, looked up at the sky, and muttered: "how hot it is!"

Now it's the middle of summer, and there's no shade around. In addition, the temperature in Mo is higher than that in Fengguo, so Xiao MuQing is very uncomfortable. Standing in the direct sunlight for such a while, a thin layer of sweat also appeared on the forehead.

Zuo Shuang glanced at him and did not speak. It's September. Isn't it hot? At this time, the wind behind them urged their horses forward and whispered, "general, the sun is too poisonous at this time. Let's go back to the camp first!"

"Don't worry!" Xiao MuQing waved his hand and looked around to find a place where he could enjoy the shade. Suddenly, he found that the trees on the left and right slopes were tall and strong, straight to the sky. He asked Zuo Shuangdao, "general Zuo, what kind of trees are growing on the mountain?"

What tree? Zuo Shuang looked at him strangely, and he couldn't help but underestimate: did Xiao MuQing get confused by the sun and didn't even know the pine tree? He took a deep breath and said, "it's all pines."

"Pine tree!" Xiao MuQing nodded, turned the horse's head and walked to the nearby tree shade. When he came to the stockade, he raised his eyes and looked at the enemy's camp

Night raids? All the generals of Zuo Shuang are stunned. The enemy stronghold is heavily defended. It is not easy to attack hard in the daytime, but can be attacked by sneak attack at night? His left eyes turned and asked, "did General Xiao think of a clever plan to defeat the enemy?"

Xiao MuQing chuckled indifferently, and said: "I dare not say the clever plan, but if the progress is smooth, we can win three or four barracks in a row tonight."

When Zuo Shuang hears the speech, he is in doubt. Just now, he is still frowning. He has no confidence in whether he can break the enemy stronghold. How can he become full of confidence in the twinkling of an eye? How can it be possible to win three or four enemy villages in a row? Zuo Shuangbai couldn't understand, but he didn't ask. After returning to the camp, Xiao MuQing would naturally tell us the "clever plan" he had in mind.

After inspecting the Mo army's camp, on the way back to his own camp, Xiao MuQing asked the generals around him and said, "how many Mo's military uniforms do we have in our army?"

A general of the plain army replied: "not many, but some were captured during the capture of Mo's captives, no more than 10000 sets."Almost all the Mo people were killed in the area where the Baizhan army passed. The prisoners captured by the plain army and the flying dragon army were just a few scattered troops, which were pitifully rare.

Xiao MuQing pondered for a while and said, "although it is less, it is almost enough."

The weather in the mountains is changeable. During the day, it is clear and cloudless, but at night, it is overcast. It is too dark to see your fingers.

Such weather is of course very beneficial to the party who is going to sneak in at night, but Xiao MuQing is gloomy and gloomy. He is not sure whether he wants to do anything tonight.

After much consideration, he decided to take action tonight and try his luck.

Under the cover of the night, the wind force quietly pushed out the stone throwing machines and broken city crossbows, and transported them to the Mo army camp.

The range of the stone throwing machine and the broken city crossbow was two or three hundred paces away, but the wind army pushed the stone throwing machine and the broken city crossbow until it was only 150 steps away from the Mo army camp.

At such a close distance, the soldiers carrying the stone throwing machines and broken city crossbows can clearly see the torch swaying on the walls of the enemy camp. People subconsciously hold their breath, squat on the ground, do not dare to move.

In fact, if Mo Jun can really see them here, even if they don't move, it's useless. After all, the size of the stone throwing machine and the broken city crossbow are too large to hide. But the visibility tonight is too low. At best, the soldiers of Mo on the wall can see the place about 20 steps away from them.

Just when the soldiers in the wind all raised their hearts to their throat, Xiao MuQing issued a direct order from the rear, asking them to launch an attack immediately.

Several soldiers with oil barrels walked out of the crowd and poured the oil into the trench that had been dug in advance. Then, blow the ignition fold to ignite the fire oil in the ditch.

For a moment, the ground seems to drill out a fire snake like, the long trench burning up. With the help of the fire in the ditch, the soldiers, who had already been ready, lit torches one after another, and then used the torches to burn the stone bullets of the riprap machine and the crossbows of the broken city crossbow.

The catapults and catapults have been specially treated by the wind forces. The catapults are directly immersed in kerosene, while the stone bullets are made up of several pieces of crushed stone, which are also soaked in kerosene and then tied together by hemp rope. Stone bullets and catapults stick to the fire. For a time, the wind army's stone throwing machines and broken city crossbows are blazing with fire.

If there is no fire on their side, the soldiers on the wall of the stronghold still can't see it. At this time, there is a lot of fire on their side. How can Sergeant Mo not find out?

"What's going on there? What's the fire all of a sudden? " Mo Bing, a sharp eyed soldier, was the first to find the abnormality outside the camp and screamed loudly.

Other Mo Bing also looked at him in succession and said, "is there a mountain fire?" "No, there was no thunder and no lightning just now. Where did the mountain fire come from?" "Is it the enemy's night attack?"

Just when Sergeant Mo was still guessing what the fire was like outside the camp, all of a sudden, a little bit of fire in the black curtain flew rapidly and catapulted into the air. Then, he drew a semicircular arc and fell on their heads.

"No! It's an enemy attack! It was the enemy who stole the camp at night. "Until then, Mo's soldiers realized that the fire outside the camp was not a mountain fire, but was ignited by the wind forces.

But at this time, the reaction was over. The burning stones falling from the sky seemed to be the fire coming down from the sky. They hit the walls of the village and made a crackling sound. The impact force damaged the walls, but at the same time, the hemp ropes that bound the stones were broken. Scattered stones splashed everywhere. What's more, the stones were all attached with fire, while the walls were sticky with fire You can't even fight if you want to.

The barracks set up by Mo Jun in Panling were built with pine trees from Panling. In this way, one is the residual strength, the other is the pine is hard, and it is high and strong. The pine trees up to 30 meters in height are very common. It is just appropriate to use them to build defense. But it has a fatal weakness, is afraid of fire, especially in the hot summer, pine in the hot sun, will produce turpentine, and once the pine oil up, it is difficult to put out.

During the daytime, when Xiao MuQing came to inspect, it was when he saw the pine trees all over the sky that he suddenly thought that Mo Jun's camp was probably made of pine. In addition, the hot temperature from the day to the midsummer was a good opportunity to attack with fire.

In fact, he was right. The only thing that worried him was that it was cloudy tonight. Once it rained, the fire attack plan would surely fail. It would also arouse Mo Jun's vigilance. It would not work in the future. However, he could only gamble and gain his own luck because of the high military speed.
