Tang Yin looked at the map and listened to Gao Chenghai's analysis. When the latter finished, he looked at Tang Wenyuan and asked, "Lord Tang, what do you think of what Lord Gao said?"
In any case, Tang Wenyuan was born as a military general, while Gao Chenghai was just a civil servant. Relatively speaking, Tang Yin paid more attention to Tang Wenyuan's opinions.
Tang Wenyuan also got up and came forward, frowning, looking down at the map and thinking for a long time. He nodded slowly, "This is a good place for ambush. If the weather permits and it doesn't rain, we can also take fire attack, prepare more grass and rattan in advance, make it into a ball, pour black oil on it, light it and push it down, which is enough for Huan Jun to drink a pot!"
Tang Yin blinked, then laughed and said, "there's a way! Let's do it. Here, we'll fight an ambush!"
After saying that, seeing that Tang Wenyuan and Gao Chenghai were staring at themselves, he knocked on the table with his fingers, leaned forward and urged, "what are you looking at me? Go and prepare!"
"Ah? Yes, yes, I'll prepare now!" The officials of the jade state headed by Tang Wenyuan woke up like a dream, answered one after another and hurried out.
This section of the official road mentioned by Gao Chenghai is just between Daping city and Wujiazhuang. It is also the only way from Daping city to Longmen Mountain.
For Longmen County, Longmen mountain not only provides the county with rich medicinal materials, but also provides a large number of wood and stone materials. Therefore, the official road in and out of Longmen Mountain is also very important. However, when the official road was built at the beginning, the local government wanted to be convenient and easy, and built the official road in the depression. In rainy seasons, the official road will become a disaster, The maximum ponding can reach more than one person. Because this official road is under the jurisdiction of Daping City, Gao Chenghai also has a headache for this matter. He doesn't want to solve it, but he can't solve it. If he wants to rebuild an official road, it will cost a lot of human and financial resources, which is not something he can afford. He has reported the matter many times, but it has not been solved.
Who would have thought that such an official path, which often makes him anxious, has just become the best place to ambush the enemy.
Tang Yin was not at ease, leaving Yin Rou alone in the city and taking her out of the city with the jade army. Under the command of Tang Wenyuan, the 30000 strong jade army was divided into two parts, one in ambush on the north side of the official road and the other on the south side of the official road.
Longmen County is full of mountains and forests, and grass and vines are easy to find. After the jade army arrived at the ambush site, it immediately began to prepare. The soldiers moved up and down together, collected a large number of grass and vines and oil with conveyor belts.
Their oil is different from fire oil. It is black and viscous. The jade man calls it black oil. Tang Yin sniffed it and immediately judged that it is actually crude oil. It is not clear where the jade man was collected, but the effect of crude oil is far better than fire oil.
The soldiers of the jade army first weave dry firewood and grass rattan into a ball more than one person high, and then pour crude oil on it. If this thing burns and rolls into the crowd, once the fire sticks to the body, it can't be put out.
Tang Yin nodded as he looked. Tang Wenyuan's unified army was good. At least under his command, Yu Jun was very efficient.
After preparation in the middle of the night, the jade army of 30000 people made thousands of rattan balls, all hidden on the high slopes on both sides of the official road.
Tang Yin went to inspect in person. First, he went to the high slopes on both sides of the official road, and then went down to the official road. He raised his eyes and looked at both sides. He didn't find anything wrong, so he returned.
Next, all they have to do is wait for the Huan army to arrive.
While waiting, Tang Yin summoned Tang Wenyuan, Gao Chenghai and other officials of the jade state to his side, took out his sword and rowed on the ground, One side said: "when the Huan army arrives, don't panic and don't rush to start. Let about 10000 Huan soldiers pass first, and then suddenly attack. While killing the Huan army with fire, cut the Huan army into two parts. Then we can wipe out the 10000 Huan army with more and less, and kill the enemy as much as possible."
Among these officials of the jade Kingdom, Tang Wenyuan is the only one who has real combat experience in leading the army. The old man nodded while listening. When Tang Yin finished, his face showed an excited brilliance and praised: "Your Highness's words are very true. We use fire to kill the enemy's middle Army and block the enemy's rear army. Our side makes every effort to attack the enemy's front army. This is a good policy!"
Gao Chenghai looked at Tang Yin and the other people, frowning, grinning and frowning, "it's good to attack the enemy with fire, but... I'm afraid of sudden rain!"
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted the unanimous eyes of the people around him. Even if Tang Yin listened to such bad words, he was so angry that he almost smashed his sword on Gao Chenghai's head.
Roaring - soon after the sound of Gaocheng Haihua fell, there was a sudden sound of thunder in the sky, which also cooled the hearts of the people present. Yan Rou was even more nervous, holding Tang Yin's hand tightly. Gao Chenghai is right. The fire attack is most afraid of rain. Now if it rains, all the preparations they made all night will be useless.
Tang Yin stood up and slowly raised his head. Looking up at the night sky, he saw that there were cloudy clouds in the sky, covering all the stars and moons. Gao Chenghai's words won't be so effective. Is it really going to rain? Is this Tianjue himself?
He was thinking, suddenly his cheeks cooled and a drop of rain fell on his face.
He raised his hand and wiped his cheeks, then slowly lowered his head and stared at Gao Chenghai. Gao Chenghai's face turned white at this time. He wanted to smoke his mouth. He was really told by his crow's mouth.
When he was regretting, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was wrong. He looked up and saw that all the people present stared at himself, including Tang Yin.
Gao Chenghai shivered and quickly knelt down to kowtow. His trembling voice was urgent: "Your Highness, it's not a small population who makes dark words, but... It's now in the rainy season here..."
Tang Yin is just too angry to vent. He doesn't really blame Gao Chenghai. If his mouth is so effective, he will be the Dragon King of the East China Sea!
No one spoke. Everyone present was silent. The atmosphere was suffocating.
Crackling - soon, raindrops began to fall continuously, splashing on everyone's armor and crackling. In the same way, it also cooled everyone's fighting spirit.
At first, it was only a light rain. Soon, the light rain turned into a pouring rain. The rain seemed to be pouring down from the sky and splashed high water mist on the ground.
As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. The torrential rain had cooled people's hearts. At this time, another spy came back and reported that the main force of Huan army had gone out of Longmen Mountain and was heading for Daping city in the rain.
Hearing the detective report, Tang Wenyuan couldn't sit still any longer, stood up, arched his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Your Highness, this ambush can't be fought. Now we have to retreat quickly!"
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and stopped in the air. After waiting for a long time, he shook his head and said, "don't worry, wait!" Now it's raining heavily, but the wind speed is also very fast, which is likely to blow the dark clouds elsewhere. This is Tang Yin's only hope.
"Your Highness, if we don't retreat again, it's too late." Tang Wenyuan approached Tang Yin and said in a hurry.
Tang Yin turned his head, glared at Tang Wenyuan and asked, "don't you understand what the king said?"
Tang Wenyuan was startled by his fierce eyes. He didn't dare to say another word. He bowed and bowed back a few steps.
As time went by, the officials and soldiers of the jade state were all sweating with anxiety. Seeing the fierce enemy approaching, people didn't know what they were waiting for.
After about half an hour, suddenly a soldier of jade soldiers exclaimed excitedly, "the rain has stopped, the rain has stopped!"
People subconsciously took off their helmets and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy and pouring rain just now. Now there is a white fish belly on the horizon, and there is no rain in the sky.
For a moment, many people in the jade army shouted excitedly, and people jumped and jumped on the muddy ground. Tang Wenyuan and Gao Chenghai and others were also excited. They rushed to Tang Yin and said repeatedly, "Your Highness, God helps our jade country. Now we can still adopt the tactics of fire attack!"
Tang Yin's face wore an indifferent smile. In fact, his heart was also happy. His eyes turned and asked anxiously, "how much black oil do we have left?"
Tang Wenyuan was stunned and replied, "there are many more!"
"Pour it out!" Tang Yin's eyes lit up and said, "they all fell into the official road and the hillside."
"Ah? Well... What if Huan Jun finds out?" Tang Wenyuan asked tongue tied.
"Before dawn, it has just rained heavily. How can Huan Jun tell whether the ground is water or oil? Hurry, do it according to the king's will!" Tang Yin shouted in a deep voice.
Tang Wenyuan's spirit was shocked and said in a secret way. Yes, why didn't he think of this! If it hadn't rained just now, pouring the oil directly on the road would certainly arouse Huan Jun's suspicion, but it had just rained at this time, Huan Jun would only regard the oil as ponding!
He patted his head and felt that when he was with the wind king, his mind became dull.
He hurriedly gave orders and poured all the remaining black oil of the whole army on the official roads and the hillsides on both sides. Once the enemy came in, he would be deeply in a sea of fire. He had no chance to rush up the hillside and escape.
At the command of the head of the county, the soldiers of the jade army moved together, and barrels of black oil were dumped on the official road and the hillsides on both sides. They had just poured out the oil, and the spies reported that the Scouts of Huan army were less than two miles away from their own side.
Tang Wenyuan ordered that the whole army be hidden and that no one should act without his order.
