Shen Chong stared ahead unblinkingly, secretly calculating the time in his heart. He thought that with just such a short distance, the fire should have been lit. However, there was still a dark mass on the other side and he couldn't see anything clearly. He couldn't see anything clearly. Unable to bear it, he yelled: "What are these losers doing? Why don't they set fire to it?"

To be honest, Shen Chong could not have expected that not a single one of the three thousand people in the arson team and the crossbowmen would be dead. Not only him, but anyone else would have been hard-pressed to imagine that even if a large army was sent to surround them, Even if you want to kill, you have to make a lot of noise. It is impossible to die so neatly, which is really unbelievable. Free e-book download

Shen Chong's complexion was extremely ugly, and all his generals were silent, and no one wanted to touch his bad luck. Since this man died of his son, his original rough and arrogant character has become moody, and he cannot stand the slightest stimulation.

If he took advantage of Shen Chong's wishes, he would be generous with his rewards, showering out large amounts of gold and silver, making his generals smile with joy. If there was even the slightest resistance, they would be punished and given a severe beating. It was a minor incident, and it was normal to be beaten and killed on the spot! To put it harshly, Shen Chong already had a tendency to give up on himself.

Over time, the generals also learned to speak with facial expressions. When Shen Chong is emotionally stable, he can receive generous rewards for making appropriate suggestions. Just like the two generals who proposed the fire attack, they were happy in their hearts. At this time, Shen Chong showed obvious signs of going berserk, and no one dared to talk to him anymore, even though they were also very puzzled by the abnormal behavior in the woods.

Shen Chong's patience was being worn away inch by inch. The depression in his chest was getting thicker and thicker. Desperate to know what was happening ahead, he immediately glanced at the person who proposed the fire attack plan. The famous general said coldly: "Tell me! It was you who suggested setting fire to the forest. Tell me, what are those losers doing? Why haven't you taken action yet?"

The general complained secretly. He didn't know what those two thousand people were doing, but he was unlucky enough to capture a young man. He couldn't help but not answer. He thought about it and said bravely: "General, I can judge from the sound coming from the front. It must be logging, and the general is very puzzled by this. Why is it necessary to cut down trees to set fire? The general clarified it, and there are no more than two points. One is that after our army's previous trebuchet and crossbow attacks, the branches and trees were sparse and there were gaps. Larger trees are not conducive to the spread of fire, so they cut some small trees and pile them on the ground, pour them with kerosene, and the fire will spread quickly. The second guess is a bit bold. They may cut down trees and pile up bunkers to attract enemy troops to attack. Then take advantage of the darkness to use powerful crossbows to destroy the invading enemies and clear the way for you, general, to capture Yunfeng alive. In short, there are two possibilities. No matter what, general might as well wait for a while."

In fact, this answer is full of loopholes. For example, if you don’t have an axe, how can you use a sword to chop down a tree? Moreover, the wind is strong at night, and the wind will help the fire. Why bother to chop down the tree? Taking a step back, the three thousand new troops have the initiative to attract the enemy to attack. Are you brave enough?

However, when people have expectations in their hearts, they often unconsciously move closer to ideas that are beneficial to them. At this time, Shen Chong was in this state. He thought for a moment. He nodded and said: "This statement is somewhat true. That’s right, I’ll just wait a little longer.”

The general couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and finally managed to pass the test. Although some of the other generals heard that something was wrong, Shen Chong had already nodded his head, so why should they seek trouble? The key is that no one can think of what lies ahead. The entire army has been wiped out.

Time continued to pass, and the patience Shen Chong had accumulated again was wearing away bit by bit. He felt that he really couldn't bear this kind of suffering, so he immediately turned around and shouted: "You guys go to the front and see what those wastes are doing? What? Does it take so long to set a fire?”

"Yes!" The two guards took the order and were about to turn around and leave when someone suddenly called out: "General, look, the woods are on fire!"

Shen Chong quickly turned his head to look, and saw a large wall of fire rising rapidly from bottom to top in the woods directly in front of him. In the dark night sky, it looked spectacular! Especially with his eyesight, he could clearly see the fire in the woods. At the top, there are a considerable number of small branches flying in circles with the updraft, while on the ground, there are shadowy figures in black running back and forth.

"Hahahahaha" Shen Chong suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly. After a long time, his laughter stopped, and he pointed at the woods and said: "Yun, I burned all the trees, what do you think you can do with it? Humph! I will burn them tomorrow." The trebuchet and bed crossbow are pushed to the door of your camp. Where the hell can you escape? My son, open your eyes and see, your father is going to avenge you! Hahahahaha"

Shen Chong's laughter was as shrill and shrill as a night owl, full of endless resentment, making all the generals tremble.

At the same moment, Wang Dun was also attracted out of the camp by the blazing fire. Since the palace blocked his view, he could only see half of the sky in the northeast illuminated red. He couldn't help turning his head and praising: "The fire must be caused by Shen Chong setting fire to the forest. He can think of this, so he is not confused. Once he relies on it, he will be able to relax a lot in General Poyun's camp."

Zhou Fu, the general of Nan Zhonglang who followed, agreed: "Yes, by then General Shen will return to cooperate with the Prime Minister to attack the two thieves Su and Liu. Our army's chances of winning will greatly increase. It will be just around the corner to depose Sima Shao, the yellow-bearded Xianbei slave. Hmph!" How can we allow foreign barbarians to get their hands on the sacred weapon of our country?"

Wang Dun nodded and said: "Wang Chong of the East China Sea is the orthodox member of the Jin Dynasty. Emperor Wu must not be able to bear to see the country being overrun by Huang Xu'er!" Then, he ordered to the left and right: "You two go to General Shen's camp and ask. Today’s battle situation, and give him a message to tell him to fight steadily and not to be impatient."

"Yes!" The two guards quickly ran out.

This fire also attracted Wen Qiao, Yu Liang and Xi Jian to the top of the city. Baidang Lake is located in the northeast of the Donghua Gate of the palace city. Standing on the Donghua Gate, you can see the diagonal side of the woods in front of the lake. From this angle, the fire seems to have just started and has not yet spread.

Yu Liang was a little lost. After a long time, he shook his head and said: "General Yun was so careless that Shen Chong burned down the forest. Otherwise, how could Shen Chong attack with his army based on this? It's good now. There is no obstacle before and after. The only way out is that the situation is not good."

Xi Jian took it and sighed: "Yuan Gui's words are reasonable. General Yun must be confused. Does our army need to go out of the city for reinforcements?"

Wen Qiao waved his hand: "There is no need to rush. Firstly, it is late at night and the situation is unknown. Secondly, with such a huge fire, how can Shen Chong send troops? We can only wait until the fire is extinguished before attacking. Let's take a look first."

Both Yu Liang and Xi Jian felt that this was quite reasonable, so they stopped talking and continued to look at the crowd gathering under the sea of ​​​​fire.

Directly opposite Donghua Gate is Qingxi. Between Qingxi and Waiguoli is the area where Dongxiao royal family and nobles live. Xunsong's mansion is located at the north end, and you can just see the side of Baidang Lake and the woods in front of the lake. Since yesterday After Yunfeng left, Xun Song was worried. He always watched the direction of Baidang Lake and called him whenever there was any movement. During the day, there were killing sounds in the forest, which made him very worried for a while. It was not until recently that he reluctantly Fell asleep.

However, what Xun Song didn't know was that his precious daughter's relationship with Yun Feng had grown by leaps and bounds in just one day. He had touched all the private parts of the woman's body, and even flirted openly in front of everyone. Sorry, otherwise, instead of being unable to sleep due to worry, it would be due to being unable to sleep due to joy.

At this time, Xun Song also climbed up the high-rise building and stared eastward. The steward originally didn't want to wake him up, but he had no choice. The concern for children.

Xun Song's brows were raised high, with a look of worry on his face. It could be seen that he had completely treated Yunfeng as one of his own family members, and marrying his daughter was only a matter of time. The steward standing by his side opened his lips. He said it again, as if he wanted to say something, but was afraid of disturbing Xun Song, and looked like he was hesitant to speak.

Xun Song accidentally caught a glimpse of the steward's strange behavior from the corner of his eye, and asked casually: "Do you have anything to say? Just say it!"

The steward hesitated and said: "Master, please don't worry. The girl and General Yun will be fine. And... I feel that this fire seems a little strange."

"Oh?"

"Master, please take a look!" The steward pointed to the woods and said: "It stands to reason that Shen Chong ordered people to set fire. It is impossible to burn only the small area in front. But you see, the fire shows no sign of spreading backwards. You can see from the upstairs It was clear that the woods within a certain distance behind the fire had been cut down, and there was no way it could spread to the back. Based on this, I made a bold guess that the fire was probably deliberately caused by General Yun. As for what the purpose was, I don't understand, but if I think about it from another way, General Yun will never set a fire on his own for no reason. In Nu's opinion, if it is not out of confusion, Shen Chong must have a good strategy to defeat the enemy and use fire as bait! Lang! Lord, do you think it makes sense?"

"Pa!" a crisp sound! "That's right! Why didn't I think of that?" That’s it! Okay, it’s well burned! Once the sink is broken, you can take the initiative! I owe you for reminding me this trip!”

The steward thanked him and said, "Master Sir, I don't think I should be a slave. Master Sir, I'm just worried about the safety of the girl and General Yun. The authorities are just confused." Then he changed his voice and said, "Since there is no need to worry, Master Sir, why don't you go back to your house and rest?"

"Hey!" Xun Song waved his hand and said, "I'm not sleepy at all. What's more, the battle is happening right at home. Wouldn't it be a pity not to watch? I would like to see what strategy General Yun uses to defeat Shen Chong! "After a pause, as if he was not satisfied, he turned around and ordered: "Hurry up and put the wine and food on the table. I will drink and watch the battle here!" The night wind is strong, why don't you go back to the house? There are slaves here to help you explore. Look, I will call you if there is any movement."

"Go quickly, go quickly! What's the point of helping you look around?" Xun Song urged repeatedly: "I am in very good health, what can the mere night wind do to me?"
