Suddenly hearing that Wen Zhao had a strategy to break the enemy, everyone was surprised and delighted, Tian Feng hurriedly asked, "What is the strategy of the lord to break the enemy?" ”

Wen Zhao blinked his eyes and said something that made everyone's mouths grow in surprise. But after careful consideration, the generals were amazed.

Even Tian Feng and Jia Xu were shocked by Wen Zhao's whimsical strategy to break the enemy.

After the shock, Tian Feng thought about it for a while, but said: "The lord can be like this, so that Yuan Shu will not be vigilant." ”

Wen Zhao was even more overjoyed, so he asked people to find a huge amount of water and firewood, and moved dozens of cauldrons. Then they poured water into the cauldron and began to boil it with firewood.

The soldiers, whose clothes had not yet been dried, also took advantage of this time to come to the fire to make a fire.

However, it was said that Yuan Jun temporarily retreated, and after having lunch and resting, Yuan Shu led the army to Xuanyuan Pass again, wanting to repeat the old tricks.

When Yuan Shu stood on the high ground and saw the dozens of cauldrons set up on Xuanyuan Pass, he immediately asked Yan Xiang, "What does Chen Wenzhao want to do?" ”

Yan Xiang laughed twice and said, "During this time, although our army suffered heavy casualties, so did the Chen army. I expected that Chen Wenzhao would definitely have poor donkey skills, so he wanted to use boiling water to break the enemy. ”

Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment and asked, "If this is the case, how can the soldiers go to the city to dump sand?" ”

Yan Xiang immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although the strategy of boiling water to destroy the enemy is vicious, it is not practical. ”

"It takes a lot of time to boil a pot of cold water, but it can be used up in an instant. As a result, boiling water is in short supply. ”

The lord told the soldiers to be cautious, and then scattered to dump the sand and stones. In this way, even though the efficiency will be much lower, it will also reduce the casualties caused by boiling water. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shu nodded secretly.

However, it was said that Yuan Jun had received the military order and scattered to dump the sand and stones. The first batch of Yuan troops had just come to the city wall of Xuanyuan Pass, and boiling water fell from the sky.

"Retreat, retreat!"

The generals of the Yuan army had already taken precautions, and saw many Xuanyuan Pass defenders picking up wooden basins and shouting loudly while retreating rapidly.

Those soldiers who experienced this long war have slowly transformed into battlefield veterans. When they heard the command, they hurried back.

Only a few Yuan Jun, who were slow to react, were accidentally drenched by the water that fell from the city wall.

Those few Yuan soldiers saw a basin of water flying towards their heads, and they immediately died. They know very well that if they are drenched in boiling water, they will definitely be scalded and their flesh will be opened.

At this time, the medical skills were not developed, and the whole body was drenched in boiling water, and even if he did not die, he had to shed a layer of skin. There were even two timid soldiers of the Yuan Army, who were so frightened that they cried.

"Whoa!"

The water drenched the people, and they all closed their eyes in despair.

Those Yuan Jun who were running fast also looked at these people with unbearable expressions. They could even predict that the men would fall to the ground and let out terrible screams.

"Ah, it's cold!"

The screams finally rang out, but it made everyone feel a little incredible.

"Isn't it boiling water? Why is it cold? Isn't that person stupid? ”

Yuan Jun, who was far away from the city wall, heard that person's shout, and secretly thought about it in his heart.

However, it didn't take long for several other Yuan soldiers who were drenched in water to shiver and shouted, "I'm cold." ”

"Damn it!"

It was only at this time that the generals of the Yuan army, who were the first to escape, knew that they and others had been teased by the defenders of Xuanyuan Pass.

They fled from the city wall in a panic, but they didn't expect that those guards of the city would only splash cold water.

"Rush over and dump the sand!"

The general of the Yuan army roared and rushed over in the lead. The rest of Yuan Jun were also a little annoyed and angry when they saw that they and the others were being played, and they also shouted and followed behind the general.

What's more, although it is a cold winter, even if you are splashed with cold water, you will not be frozen to death for a while.

Therefore, these Yuan soldiers were not afraid.

"Whoa!"

Basins of water were poured down again, and they were poured on the heads of those Yuan Jun who rushed over.

The general of the Yuan army, who rushed to the front, immediately shouted: "Ahhhh Ahh ”

"Ah, my face!"

"Ah, my hands!"

For a while, the screams came and went. It turned out that what was poured down this time was boiling water.

Yuan Shu, who was watching the battlefield, saw this situation, and immediately scolded loudly: "What a cunning Chen Xu child! He acted like this, not only saving boiling water, but also effectively killing and injuring my subordinates, which is really hateful! ”

Yan Xiang said, "It's easy to distinguish between cold water and boiling water. Now that it's winter, as long as there is heat coming out of the basin, it's boiling water, so let them be careful. ”

"Otherwise, it's cold water, fearless."

Yuan Shu thought so deeply and ordered the soldiers who had been doused with boiling water to go back to recuperate. But it was for the rest of the Yuan army to look at the water basin on the city wall, whether it was steaming.

Yuan Jun, who received the order, was cautious as long as he saw the water basin on the city wall steaming white. Otherwise, they will rush to the wall,

In this way, the lethality of boiling water is much less. But the vast majority of Yuan's troops who rushed to the city wall were drenched in cold water.

Wave after wave of Yuan troops retreated after putting down the sand, and when it was the turn of this wave of Yuan troops, they felt a little overwhelmed.

It turned out that half of the basin of water that was lifted above the city wall at this time was emitting white gas, but the other half was not emitting white gas.

Seeing this, Yan Xiang had an expression of wisdom bead in his hand, and said: "It seems that Chen Wenzhao has learned to be smart, Your Majesty can pass on the order and let the soldiers act cautiously." ”

"Boiling water on the city walls cannot always be sufficient. As long as the boiling water is consumed, we have nothing to fear. ”

Because of the threat of boiling water, the speed at which Yuan Jun dumped sand and gravel was significantly slowed down. After a long time, even if Yuan Jun was cautious, many soldiers were scalded by boiling water.

More soldiers of the Yuan army were drenched in cold water.

"Ahh

A soldier of Yuan couldn't help but scream in fright when he looked at the boiling water pouring down from the top of his head.

"Hmm, it's so comfortable!"

However, after being drenched, the soldier Yuan said with some intoxication.

"What's going on?"

escaped in time, and Yuan Jun, who was doused with cold water, was a little confused when he heard the man's words.

It was only at this time that the soldier felt that everyone was looking at him, and his face immediately turned red.

He withdrew from the city wall and said in a loud voice, "The steaming water is only lukewarm." Pouring it on your body is like taking a bath. ”

After the news reached Yuan Shu, he couldn't help laughing loudly, and said in high spirits: "The thief's military skills are poor, and when the boiling water runs out, he actually pours down warm water to scare us." ”

"Give the order, all the sergeants speed up and rush under the city walls to dump sand and stones!"

After Yuan Shu's order was conveyed, batch after batch of Yuan troops poured over, and the speed at which they dumped sand and gravel was significantly enhanced.

"Bang la la"

"Whoa!"

Basin after basin of water was poured down, but the water was either cold or lukewarm, and it was not lethal at all.

For these poured down, non-threatening water, Sergeant Yuan is even more fearless, he can hide if he can, and it doesn't matter if he can't.

Wen Zhao stood on top of the city wall, watching basins of water being dumped down, with a strange smile on his face.

He looked up at the sky and said softly, "It's getting dark, and the Yuan army should also withdraw its troops." ”

"Woooooo

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the sound of Mingjin withdrawing his troops.

Yuan Shu looked at the gradually darkening sky, and said with some unfinished feelings: "It would be better if it was later in the dark." ”

Then, he looked at the mound of sand, which had reached the height of half a city gate, and his face suddenly showed an excited look.

"If Chen Wenzhao doesn't go out of the city to fight, it won't be long before the sand mound will be comparable to the city wall of Xuanyuan Pass."

Yan Xiang was not so optimistic, he reminded Yuan Shudao: "Your Majesty, you still have to prevent the thief army, and take advantage of the night to come out to clean up the sand and stones." ”

Yuan Shu nodded, and asked Chen Lan to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard in front of Xuanyuan Pass, closely watching the movements in the pass.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and I couldn't see my fingers.

At ten o'clock, Chen Lan caught fire and vaguely saw that the city wall of Xuanyuan Pass was covered with dense black shadows, and she was immediately shocked.

He shouted, "The thief army wants to hang the soldiers with ropes and clean the sand and gravel at the city gate. Archers prepare, shoot those people with arrows! ”

"Chirp!"

He led the 20,000 men of the night vigil, most of whom were archers. After they heard Chen Lan's order, they kept shooting arrows at those black shadows.

While commanding, Chen Lan asked people to report the situation here to Yuan Shu. When Yuan Shu heard this, he hurriedly summoned Yan Xiang and Yang Hong to discuss countermeasures.

Yang Hong said: "According to today's progress, if Chen Wenzhao does not go out of the city to clean up the sand under the city. In two days at the latest, we will be able to build a slope leading to the city out of sand and stones. ”

"Chen Wenzhao won't be blind to this, so he let people go out of the city in the middle of the night and want to clean up the sand and gravel."

Yan Xiang stroked his beard and said: "Yang Changshi's words are good, now that the city gate has been blocked by sand and stones, Chen Jun has no way to get out of the city through the city gate. ”

"That's why they wanted to use ropes to hang the defenders of the city down so that they could clear the sand."

"The lord just needs to send out archers and shoot those Chen soldiers to death."

Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he transferred 10,000 archers again to support Chen Lan.

That night, there were people in the city who kept hanging down Sergeant Chen with ropes, in a vain attempt to go out of the city to clean up the sand. But not a single one escaped the shooting of Yuan's archers.

Chen Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw that the 'corpses of Chen Jun' were full of arrows and were pulled back to the city wall.

However, the defenders of the city seemed to be not afraid of death, and one wave died, and another wave came.

After shooting hundreds of thousands of arrows in a row, Chen Lan felt that something was wrong.

He made people stare at the rain of arrows, risked his death to come to the city wall, only to find that those black shadows were all straw men.
