"Ordinary fire, of course, can't burn Sima Yi's army." Guan Zhen winked at Wang Baoyu and said mysteriously.
"It's spring, and the sun is too weak for the Praise Mirror to be of great use." Wang Baoyu thought for a while and said.
"It has to be a fire that water can't extinguish."
"Stinky boy, just make it clear." Wang Baoyu said anxiously.
"yes, it's really not happy!" Qian Mo made the old mistake of playing prestige, and he criticized the pipe without concealment, but Wang Baoyu glared at him, and quickly closed his mouth.
"I heard that Fancheng once brought a large amount of oil from Shangyong that can be burned on the water, why don't you use it?" Guan said that what he was talking about was the oil he purchased from Shangyong Liu Ba back then.
"There are indeed many in Fancheng." Shi Guangyuan nodded, although he didn't know the use of this thing, but he knew its characteristics, in order to protect the oil, he had spent a lot of effort, hundreds of soldiers took turns to stand guard, in order not to let any Mars get close.
Not to mention, Wang Baoyu almost forgot, he finally laughed: "Haha, the apprentice's brain is enough." ”
"Hehe, because of Master's support." Don't forget to be modest.
Sima Yi's canal must not be allowed to be dug successfully, Wang Baoyu sent an order to go down, activate the strategic material of oil, and burn Sima Yi's camp.
The field is rigorous, and Wang Baoyu ordered him to take charge of this matter. Of course, it is not advisable to sneak attack, but it is still necessary to use your brains to ensure that Sima Yi's camp is burned down with a fire.
In just a few days, tens of thousands of Kong Ming lanterns were tied in Fancheng, and Wang Baoyu ordered the oil to be taken out, packed in thin skin bags, and tied under the Kong Ming lanterns.
Tian Ye led 20,000 horses and horses to quietly go out of the city with these Kong Ming lanterns, and made a detour to the southeast of Sima Yi's camp. At the same time, Qian Mo also led an army of 20,000 out of the city, and when he reached the north of Sima Yi's army, as long as the fire was together, he immediately rushed over to block the connection between the camp of Lishui and the camp in front.
Although Sima Yi did not move, he was secretly paying attention to the movements of Fancheng, but whenever there was any trouble, no matter how big or small, he would report to him as soon as possible.
Therefore, Wang Baoyu sent two groups of people, of course, when Sima Yi learned about it, he couldn't help but secretly laugh, Wang Baoyu was just like this, this move was nothing new, he wanted to give himself a two-sided attack, and he didn't weigh his own troops.
Wang Baoyu really miscalculated this time, Sima Yi's digging of the ditch was fake, but it was his main purpose to lead the Fancheng army out of the city. The successful case of Guan Yu's flooding of Fancheng, Sima Yi had studied it thoroughly in the early years, and knew that Wang Baoyu and others would definitely have scruples about it, so they deliberately opened a canal in the water to obstruct people's eyes and ears.
Not long after the two-way army in Fancheng was dispatched, Sima Yi made a preparation, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and launched a full-scale siege at night.
This night, Wang Baoyu just lay down, fantasizing that Sima Yi was burned to the bare ass and screamed, hehe, that scene must be very vivid.
However, at this moment, the guards hurriedly came to report that Sima Yi's 50,000 troops came straight to Fancheng.
Damn, this rabbit cub is really cunning, Wang Baoyu sat up as soon as he was excited, quickly dressed and got up, and rushed to the city wall, only to see the fire in the east, and the mighty Wei soldiers galloped over.
Today's Fancheng only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can it hold the city? Wang Baoyu's face was solemn, and he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while.
"Oh, Sima Yi is really cunning, I never expected him to plan like this!" Shi Guangyuan was so anxious that he stomped his feet, regretting it.
"Now is not the time to be annoyed, Sima Yi's trick is to ensure a bumper harvest in drought and flood, if we don't send troops, he will really flood Fancheng." Wang Baoyu was also anxious, so he had to order Shi Guangyuan to gather soldiers and desperately defend the city, waiting for Qian Mo and Tianye's army to come back to support.
As soon as the field came to its destination, the night wind blew, and the sky was unsatisfactory, but it was an out-and-out south wind, from this point of view, it was impossible for Kong Ming Lantern to reach Sima Yi's camp. The field was in trouble for a while, should you continue to wait for the wind direction to change, or go back first?
"Report! Sima Yi's army had already been activated and headed straight for Fancheng. "A soldier in charge of the investigation came in a panic.
The field was shocked, Fancheng had few troops, and there was no general, it must be in danger, but if the troops were collected and returned like this, all preparations would be in vain.
Sima Yi pulled out the camp and went to attack Fancheng, and there was no need to do the matter of burning the camp, it was meaningless. Tian Ye thought about it for a while, and led 15,000 men to return immediately, and at the same time allocated 5,000 soldiers and horses, and asked them to continue eastward with Kong Ming lanterns, and go to burn down Sima Yi's camp stationed on the shore of the river.
Qian Mo's side also heard the news of Sima Yi's sudden attack on Fancheng, and his heart was extremely heavy. But Qian Mo thought about it for a while, and did not immediately return to the rescue, but led the army to rush towards the camp by Sima Yi's water.
Qian Mo did this, not to Wang Baoyu, he felt that it would be useless to turn the horse's head back this time, but if there was a strict problem in Sima Yi's rear, Sima Yi would definitely retreat without a fight.
In less than half an hour after Wang Baoyu ascended the tower, Sima Yi's army rushed to the city, the Wei army did not hesitate at all, and immediately launched a fierce siege of the city, Sima Yi also had his own plans, he wanted to take advantage of the field and Qian Mo's army to return on the way, first occupy Fancheng.
Groups of soldiers carried ladders straight to the city wall, and while building a pontoon bridge, they fired arrows at the wall. In the darkness of night, it was impossible to see the situation below clearly, which made it difficult for the advanced guns and crossbows of the defenders of Fancheng to produce a defensive effect.
In the dark night, Wang Baoyu and Sima Yi looked at each other from afar, and they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, but Wang Baoyu seemed to see Sima Yi's eyes shining brightly in the dark night.
Sima Yi ordered several huge stone-throwing carts to be pushed out, braving the rain of arrows to advance towards the city gate, and huge boulders were launched from the cars, hitting the city gate heavily, making a loud rumbling sound.
This guy is going to use a boulder to break the city gate remotely, and the method is quite creative, the rebuilt Fancheng gate is very strong, Sima Yi's method is not easy to work, and the impact is mostly psychological.
The pontoon bridge on the moat was quickly erected, a large number of Wei soldiers flocked to the city wall, set up a cloud ladder, and began to attack the city.
The losses on Wang Baoyu's side were not small, the city walls were full of soldiers who had died by arrows, and Sima Yi's army kept attacking the city all the time, not caring about the losses at all, and if this situation continued, it might not be able to hold out until dawn.
