Chapter 160: Ingenious and ingenious, the dummy deceives arrows, defeating the enemy with all odds⑥
Late at night.
The Helian Army was mixed in among the straw men. As the soldiers above shook the rope with force, they were thrown across the moat together with the straw men.
The loud "bang bang bang" noise did not attract too much attention from Nalan Army.
After landing, Helianjun lay on the ground, hiding among the straw men on the ground, observing the surrounding situation.
Seeing that he had successfully deceived Nalan Jun, the person holding him put down his hands, his eyes were calm and determined, and he lay prone on the ground, like silent pythons.
Under the cover of the deep night, I walked among the straw men.
Ahead, the lights of the enemy camp flickered. The Nalan army waited and waited, but did not notice anything strange and relaxed all their vigilance.
"Look, Helianjun is just pretending. They do these little tricks at night. They definitely don't want us to get enough rest and wear down our bodies. We must not continue to be fooled."
"Yes! Let's just rest and hold on for a few more days. When the food and grass in the city are completely cut off, we will see what tricks they can do."
With this idea in mind, the Nalan Army who were standing guard completely relaxed their vigilance, and some even closed their eyes and took a nap.
The Helian Army got closer and closer, sneaking into the Nalan Army camp quietly and heading straight for the grain depot.
Dozens of black shadows blended into the night like ghosts.
They arrived at the grain and grass depot smoothly and hid in the darkness. They found that Nalan Jun who was guarding the grain and grass depot was full of energy and looked around.
The most important thing in combat is food and grass.
Therefore, the soldiers guarding here dare not slack off at all. If there is a mistake in the food and grass, the entire army will be annihilated.
Helianjun lurked secretly, found the right moment, and ran behind the guard as quickly as possible. He covered the guard's mouth, and before the guard had time to react, he wiped his neck with a knife. His movements were quick, accurate, and ruthless. Sloppy.
The guard's throat was slit, and he could no longer make a sound. He clawed his hands and kicked his feet, his eyes rolled up, and died a violent death.
There were as many as a hundred Nalan troops guarding the grain depot. Helian troops used the same method to kill all of them.
Then he took out a fire stick from his arms, lit the huge grain storehouse, and retreated quietly.
The fire was relatively small at first, and Nalan's army was exhausted by the Helian army's torment. At night, they fell asleep and had no time to notice that their camp was on fire.
But in winter, the weather is dry and irritable, and the cold wind howls at night.
The fire spread quickly with the help of wind, and the heat wave was overwhelming.
Nalan Jun realized something was wrong even after being belatedly aware of it.
He opened his eyes suddenly and saw flames rising into the sky, illuminating the entire camp.
A horn pierced the night sky, and all the Nalan troops were awakened. Only then did they realize that their grain storehouse was on fire. They were all frightened and frightened, and they rushed to save lives without caring about anything else.
Grain and grass are the most flammable and spread quickly like a prairie fire.
Tongues of fire engulfed the rescued Nalan Army.
There were screams, people whose whole bodies were on fire, some were running rampant, some were rolling on the ground, thick smoke was everywhere, and the entire camp fell into chaos and panic.
Fu Shoucheng rushed to the scene and saw such a tragic scene. His body swayed and his eyes were split.
"Fight the fire, put out the fire quickly, the food is gone and we will all starve to death."
All right, how could the grain store catch fire?
Fu Shoucheng looked around and immediately discovered the guard who had died with his throat cut.
At this point, he finally realized that the previous seven times were all fake. Today, the Helian Army finally raided the Nalan camp.
This is a plan to make something out of nothing.
This is exactly the same strategy that Gu Wangshu used when he wanted to deliver the message to Zhao Bingcheng.
I’ve heard the story of the boy who cried wolf.
Once it was false, twice it was false, and the more times it was false, by the time the wolf really came, no one would believe it was true.
Fu Shoucheng was furious, his blood rushing to the top of his head.
He became a general at a young age, and it was because of his high spirits that he had never been so miserable.
Fu Shoucheng gave an order and led [-] troops and horses to rush towards Taiping City as fast as a strong wind.
Dozens of Helian troops who escaped from Nalan's camp ran towards the city gate as fast as they could.
But the Nalan Army pursued them too fast. As soon as they reached the moat, the Nalan Army had already passed through defensive obstacles such as caltrops and antler trees.
Seeing this, He Lianhuan, who was at the top of the city, ordered the people to lower the suspension bridge, open the city gate, and ordered the work to start shooting arrows.
This time it was not a cold arrow, but a rocket.
Tens of thousands of rockets rained down on the straw men below the city.
When fire meets grass, it is instantly ignited.
All 1 straw men were ignited, and the Nalan army inside them immediately fell into the sea of fire, successfully blocking their pursuit.
Helianjun stepped onto the suspension bridge and ran into the city gate.
The heavy city gate quickly closed, and the suspension bridge also fell down.
This is a fight between opposite sides.
The fire in Nalan's camp had not yet been extinguished, and the city of Taiping was in flames again.
The blazing flames are as bright as day.
Gu Wangshu, Helianhuan, Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi, as well as other Helian soldiers, stood on the tower and watched with cold eyes as Nalan's army was in purgatory.
The firelight illuminated their faces, judging them like Shura.
More than half of the 5 people led by Fu Shoucheng were killed in this fire.
It was also at this moment that he finally understood why Helianjun threw all the straw men outside the city.
It turned out that the place where the straw men were was once again attacked by fire, burning them to pieces.
He sat on his horse and watched the soldiers being burned to death in front of his eyes, helpless.
His heart ached to the point of numbness, his eyes flashed with confusion, and he kept breathing heavily.
By the light of the fire, he finally saw clearly the faces of the four people on the tower.
Two of them he knew, they were Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi who had fought against him before.
Beside these two people, there were two more people standing.
One of them was tall and tall, with ink-like black hair that moved in the wind. He was dressed in a silver-white fox fur and had stern brows that made him look noble.
Seeing him, Fu Shoucheng's pupils shrank.
He knew this person. Four years ago, he accompanied Nalan's advisor Shen Shiyan to escort Wen Zhu (Concubine Wen) to Helian for marriage.
At that time, he had met each other at the reception banquet.
He is He Lianhuan, the second prince of Helian Kingdom.
It was said that He Lianhuan was extremely smart, but he didn't think so. But now when he saw He Lianhuan's calm and penetrating eyes, he finally realized how terrifying the other party was.
His heart was beating like a drum, he suppressed his grief and anger, and his eyes moved to Gu Wangshu.
Gu Wangshu is wearing a raccoon dog fur collared cloak and a raccoon dog plush hat on his head. He is furry and round like a bear.
However, her face was cold, and her eyes were as cold as ice, as if she were looking at a dead person.
Fu Shoucheng didn't know Gu Wangshu, he only thought she was a young man who was still an adult.
While he was concentrating, Gu Jingyi quietly took the bow and arrow, drew the bow as quickly as possible, and aimed the sharp cold arrow at the center of Fu Shoucheng's eyebrows.
He wanted to kill Fu Shoucheng and avenge Xi.
