V2.Chapter 373

After occupying Changdu, the hundred war army led by Nie Ze stopped moving. First, it firmly controlled the center of Zeping County, making the Feng Army take the initiative in Zeping county. Second, it also ensured the supply of the whole army. It is often a county city with sufficient granary reserves. Even if it can't afford hundreds of thousands of troops of the hundred war army, they can't die of hunger due to the plundering ability of Zhen people, At best, it is hard for the Mozambican people inside and outside Changdu.

The hundred war army stopped to repair, and the main force of the Mozambican army stationed in Panling can only be left to the plain army and the flying dragon army. According to Tang Yin, the hundred battles army is the vanguard army, and the task of opposing the main force of the Mozambican army naturally falls on the hundred battles army. In this way, it can not only destroy the main force of the Mozambican army in Zeping County, but also greatly weaken the strength of the hundred battles army, killing two birds with one stone. But by chance, the hundred battles army passed by the main force of the Mozambican army, But the plain army and the flying dragon army had to bite down this hard bone.

Although it was easy for the hundred war army to open Panling, now it's the turn of the plain army and the flying dragon army. The situation is different. When the Baizhan army beat Panling, the Mozambican army intended to release water and did not make decent resistance at all. But now, Panling has become the only life-saving straw for the Mozambican army. Only by holding Panling, can they block the reinforcement of the Baizhan army and hope for victory. Once Panling is lost, their battle in Zeping county will be completely defeated. At that time, they will only have a dead end.

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

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

Zuo Shuangyou made a detailed analysis of the current situation of the Mozambican army and came to the conclusion that the 400000 Mozambican army stationed in Panling will stick to Panling, while the 16 camps located in Panling are endowed with unique advantages, excellent positions, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the Mozambican army is tenacious, it can be regarded as the joint attack of the plain army and the flying dragon army, which is also difficult to break.

Xiao MuQing doesn't agree with Zuo Shuang's conclusion. He also admits that Panling is not easy to play, but he can't stop playing because Panling is difficult?

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

Zuo Shuang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid General Xiao has lost his desire to attack after reading it."

"That's not necessarily true!" Xiao MuQing smiled and led a military general with Zuo Shuang to go out to the first camp set up by the Mozambican army in Panling.

This camp is built on a gentle slope. If you want to attack, you have to attack from bottom to top. The terrain alone puts the attacker at a three-point disadvantage first.

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

"It's not easy to attack!" It took Xiao MuQing a long time to say such a sentence. He frowned, put up a shed in his hand, looked up at the sky and muttered, "why is it so hot!"

Now it is midsummer, and there is no shade around. In addition, the temperature in Mozambique is higher than that in Fengguo, so Xiao MuQing is very uncomfortable. After standing in the direct sunlight for a while, a thin layer of sweat came out of his forehead.

The left pair glanced at him and didn't speak. From September to September, can it not be hot? At this time, the wind behind urged the 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, looking for a place to shelter from the shade. Suddenly, he found that the trees on the left and right hillsides were tall and strong, straight into the sky. He asked Zuo Shuang, "general Zuo, what trees are growing on the mountain?"

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

"Pine!" Xiao MuQing nodded, turned his horse's head and walked to the nearby shade. When he got under the tree, he got off his horse, touched the trunk, looked up and looked at the Mojun camp opposite. The corners of his mouth raised, puffed and laughed, and said to the people behind him, "tonight, we will sneak into the enemy stronghold!"

Night raids? Zuo Shuangzhu's generals are all stunned. The enemy stronghold is heavily defended. It's not easy to attack during the day, but you can attack secretly at night? His left eyes turned and asked, "did General Xiao think of a clever plan to break the enemy?"

Xiao MuQing smiled calmly and said, "I dare not say a clever plan, but if it goes well, it's OK to win three or four camps in a row tonight."

When Zuo Shuang heard the speech, he wondered. Just now he was still frowning and had no confidence in whether he could break the enemy stronghold. How could he become confident in a blink of an eye? How is it possible to win three or four enemy strongholds in a row? Zuo Shuangbai couldn't figure it out, but he didn't ask. Anyway, when he returned to the camp to make tactical arrangements, Xiao MuQing would naturally say the "wonderful plan" he thought of.

After inspecting the barracks of the Mozambican army, on the way back to his own camp, Xiao MuQing asked the surrounding generals as he walked, "how many Mozambican military uniforms are there in our army?"

A general of the plain army replied, "not much, but some, no more than 10000 sets, were captured when capturing the prisoners of the Mozambican army."

The hundred war army killed almost all the Mozambican people in the place they passed. The prisoners captured by the plain army and the flying dragon army were only some scattered soldiers and brave soldiers, which were pitifully few.

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

The weather in the mountains is changeable. During the day, it is still clear and cloudless, but at night, it is overcast and dark.

Of course, such weather is very favorable for the party who wants to sneak attack at night, but Xiao MuQing has a gloomy face and frown. He is not sure whether to do it tonight.

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

Under the cover of darkness, the wind army quietly pushed out all the stone throwers and broken city crossbows in the army and quietly transported them to the front of the Mozambican camp.

The range of the riprap machine and the broken city crossbow is two or three hundred steps away. But the Feng army has been pushing the riprap machine and the broken city crossbow until it is only 150 steps away from the Mozambican camp.

At such a close distance, Sergeant Feng, who was transporting the riprap machine and the broken city crossbow, could clearly see the flickering torches on the walls of the enemy camp. People subconsciously hold their breath, squat on the ground and dare not move.

In fact, if Mo Jun could really see them, they would be useless even if they didn't move. After all, the size of the riprap machine and the broken city crossbow are too huge to hide. However, the visibility tonight is too low. At best, the soldiers of Mo Jun on the walled wall can see about 20 steps away from them.

Just as Sergeant Feng and his soldiers raised their hearts to their throat, a direct order from Xiao MuQing came from the rear, asking them to attack immediately.

Several soldiers carrying oil barrels walked out of the crowd and poured the fire oil into the trench that had been dug in advance. Then, blow the fire flap to ignite the fire oil in the gutter.

For a moment, the ground seemed to drill out of a fire snake, and the long ditch was burning. With the help of the fire in the gutter, Sergeant Feng, who was already ready, lit torches, and then burned the stone bullets of the riprap machine and the crossbows and arrows of the broken city crossbow.

Stone bullets and crossbows have been specially treated by the wind army. Crossbows and arrows are directly soaked in fire oil, while stone bullets are composed of several pieces of gravel, which are also soaked in fire oil and then bound together by hemp rope. Stone bullets and crossbows stick to fire. At one time, there is a raging fire and high light on the side of the wind army stone riprap machine and broken city crossbow.

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

"What's going on over there? Why is there a sudden fire?" A sharp eyed Mo Bing first found the abnormality outside the camp and screamed loudly.

Other Mo soldiers also looked at it one after another and said, "is it a mountain fire?" "No, there was neither thunder nor lightning just now. Where did the mountain fire come from!" "Is it... The enemy's night attack?"

Just as Sergeant Mo was still guessing what was going on with the fire outside the camp, suddenly, the little fire in the dark soared rapidly and catapulted into the air. Then, he drew semicircular arcs and fell on their heads.

"No! It's the enemy attack! It's the enemy sneaking camp at night -" until then, Sergeant Mo reacted. The fire outside the camp was not a mountain fire, but lit by the wind army.

But at this time, the reaction is over. The flaming stone bullets falling from the sky seem to be falling from heaven. They hit the stockade wall and make a crisp noise. The impact force not only damaged the stockade wall, but also broke the hemp rope binding the stone bullets. Scattered stones splash everywhere. What's fatal is that there are flames attached to the stones, but the stockade wall is stuck with fire, You can't beat it if you want.

The camps set up by Mo Jun in Panling are made of local materials and pine trees in Panling. In this way, first, the remaining strength is left, and second, the pine is hard, tall and strong. Pine trees up to 30 meters away are very common. It is just right to use it to build defense. However, it has a fatal weakness, that is, it is afraid of fire. Especially in the hot summer, pine trees will produce turpentine under the irradiation of the hot sun, and once the turpentine is lit, it will be difficult to put it out again.

During the day, when Xiao MuQing came to inspect, it was when he saw the pine trees all over the Panling that he suddenly thought that Mo Jun's camp was probably built of pine trees. In addition, in the middle of summer, the temperature was hot, which was a good opportunity to attack with fire.

In fact, he was really right. The only thing that worried him was that it was cloudy tonight. Once it rained, the fire attack plan would be defeated. It would undoubtedly arouse the vigilance of the Mo army. It would be difficult to work in the future, but the speed of war is precious. He can only gamble and gamble his own luck.
