Chapter 501 Turbulence barrel!

One person said: "The mountains here are complex in shape, with mountains surrounded by mountains, but a long road canyon is formed in the middle, as if the heavens punished the Dragon Abyss and penetrated into the depths of the mountain!"

"It is also the only way to go to the Xixia Imperial City. If you take a detour from other places and have to cross this mountain that is more than ten miles long, it will not work at all. The general means that we retreat here and set up an ambush to kill the Song army?"

Everyone is a warrior. Afur's words made everyone guess the meaning of it after thinking about it.

Afur had a rough figure, like a mountain, standing in front of everyone, touching his little stubborn chin to think: "What General Zhao said is good!"

"But my original intention is not to fight the Song army head-on here, because they have divine cannons and have extremely strong combat power in the army. Even if this terrain is used to wipe out the entire army, it will not be easy!"

"What does the general mean?"

Afur continued: "If they want to attack Xixia Imperial City, they will definitely take this road, and they will also guess that there will be ambushing on this road and send spies to investigate. So our army did not stay here, but continued to retreat five kilometers!"

"When they go deeper, they are coming!"

Hearing this, one of the generals said, "If they had entered this road, I'm afraid it would be too late, right?"

"It's not too late!" Afur shook his head and looked solemn: "We arrived. Their army was about to reach the exit. The two armies would definitely fight to the death. But what our army had adopted was not fighting, but using the terrain to burn it!"

"Fire?"

Everyone looked at each other, and this kind of tactic is rare.

From the map, this place is behind them, which means they still need to evacuate now.

Before, because the army supervisor was there, he could not make the decision. Now that the army supervisor is killed, he wants to evacuate to the rear and use the natural environment to burn a group of Song troops to death.

Because there are mountains and forests on both sides, once you go deeper, you will either move forward or retreat.

They block the way forward, and they can also burn the way backwards. At that time, the forest fires are burning in front, back, left and right, and it will be very difficult to escape.

"How can a fire be caught quickly in a short period of time?" someone asked.

"This is easy!" Afur smiled and said, "Before going to the expedition, I had asked someone to prepare hundreds of barrels of turmeric oil. I was originally going to use it to defend the city in front of me. At present, burning the Song army will be more effective!"

Afur: "Our army can dig turbulent tunnels on both sides of the canyon before they arrive, or simply dig holes to bury turbulent barrels and connect them with oil ropes.

Once the rope is ignited, it will form a ring flame in a short time, or even explode, which will soon burn the surrounding trees. A fire will form, and more than 100,000 troops in the Song Dynasty have no way to escape.

At that time, no matter how powerful they had firearms and troops, they would undoubtedly die in the face of such disasters! Even if they still had residual resources, they could no longer pose a threat to our army!"

Afur's move is full of feasibility.

The soldiers thought for a moment and felt that it was worth a try. If they succeeded, they could take down the Song army without losing one soldier.

This is the risk of the enemy going alone and not understanding the terrain.

As a local general of the Xixia, Afur still understands the terrain.

Because his hometown is not far from here, as a general, he is naturally not a problem to study the terrain and understand military laws.

In this way, their local advantages over terrain were revealed, and their combat capabilities were weakened compared to the Song army.

The soldiers were also very excited after hearing this.

No one had any objections, and without further ado, in case the enemy spies came to check in advance, they immediately retreated towards the way they came.

When the sun was about to set, the army arrived at the location.

This place is called Wengshan.

As the sun sets, bright red clouds in the sky bloom, and the red light casts over the tall and lush trees around.

The scenery here is beautiful, with trees and hills standing on one after another. Afur's face was stained with a layer of red light as the sunset was set.

They have arrived at the road, both sides of which are at the foot of the mountain, and they can reach the exit at least eight kilometers.

This is a natural road, more than eighty feet wide.

The ground is filled with branches and leaves that flutter in the wind, half a foot deep.

Once the fire spreads around it, this place will instantly become the fuel for flames, and the army will be burned alive and will surely die!

Not to mention the flames, the rising black smoke can kill people.

Fires are often burnt and unconscious and fall to the ground. This way, they will not be able to breathe if they are not burned to death by the fire.

"As long as it doesn't rain in the sky, the possibility of success of this plan is higher. If he falls into the trap, even if he is an official, even the brave martial arts minister will die!"

Without human restraint, Afur can perform completely according to his own ideas so that their army can win this war as much as possible.

Next, Afur ordered people to take out the turbulent barrels from the supplies and ask the soldiers to dig a hole, and a barrel would be buried every twenty feet or so.

This object suddenly encounters fire and explodes, and ignition oil sprays all over the sky, spreading across the radius, forming a powerful fire.

The soldiers of Xixia were busy carrying fire buckets, digging holes, and pulling wires. A rope above each wooden bucket would come out to connect another twenty feet away.

The buried pit is located at the back of the mountain. If the fire is too high, it will spread very slowly and it will be easily discovered if it is too low.

They also prepared tinea oil in front of the road and behind the back, and the first one burned was behind the Song army.

The road was blocked, and the Song army rushed over and faced suppression by the Xixia army.

When the army is busy, we must check whether there are any Song army spies around us.

Afur will carefully check the location of the surrounding fire buckets.

If he finds something wrong, he will promptly remind him that Afur brought many ropes this time, and these ropes are enough to pull them apart.

The ropes were taken by Afghanistan, including oil barrels.

The military supervisor didn't know this.

He had thought about this strategy before, but when he encountered this path, he decided to use it.

Without the advantages of a geographical environment, this plan cannot be used.

At noon the next day, Afur's 200,000 troops were ready!

Everything is perfectly covered, from the surface, the peaks on both sides stand high, the mountain road is like a curved canyon, and the depth and length are like a dragon.

It is enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people in it. Even if it cannot be all, as long as the main force is burned to death, the Song army will be over.

So the number of people is not the key.

The key is that Wu Zhi, Yue Fei, and the Emperor of Song Dynasty are going to die in it.

The mountains are covered with mountains, towering into the clouds and green jade. You can also hear the sound of water flowing and birds chirping deep in the distance, and occasionally you can hear the footsteps of wild beasts rushing.

Instead, it seems very quiet. Most people will appreciate the scenery here when they come. They would never have thought that such a place would cause a fire.

Fires occurred in ancient times, and they could burn dozens of kilometers of mountain peaks along the way.

All the animals, insects and beasts cannot escape the spread of fires, and can be said to have swept all the way.

After doing all this, the Afghan army retreated.

Only the spy brought some dry food and ate food, hiding in the mountains to observe the movements in the distance.

It is very secretive and the spy from the Song Dynasty would definitely not notice it even if he came over.

What they had to do was wait for the Song army to come, start igniting the fire barrel, causing flames on all sides, and take the opportunity to escape and report the news, allowing the Xixia army to come and seal the intersection.

Burn in a jar.

Let the Song army go back and forth without a return.

Afur retreated five kilometers away from Wengshan, and the army was waiting here.

They were practicing formations. If the spies from the Song Dynasty came to find their main force here, they would definitely be less wary when crossing the canyon and would be more likely to be deceived.

Afur sat quietly in the military camp, then looked at the map on the table, and all he had to do was wait.

As time passes slowly.

That afternoon.

Wu Zhi's army of 200,000 has arrived here.

They were outside the canyon and the army stopped moving forward.

"You can reach Yuncheng after sixty miles. After passing the boundary of Yuncheng, you will be able to move forward for a hundred miles. This is the Xixia Imperial City! At that time, capture the members of the Xixia royal family and destroy the country!"

Wu Zhi summoned everyone: "According to the spies, the Xixia army is less than twenty miles away from us. Everyone should have a good rest. We will fight the Xixia army tomorrow. The weather is getting colder now. If we stay here for one more day, we have to endure the coldness and miasma here. As long as we win the main force of Xixia, the Song Dynasty will win. Everyone can go back. If we win this time, your Majesty will definitely reward you with merits!"

All the brothers were very excited.

It was quite smooth along the way, so they had no worries.

"Wu Xiang is right. As long as you take down Xixia, you can go back as soon as possible. This is a battle to destroy the country. It will be a name in history and will be a glorious deed in the future."

Song Jiang's face turned red because of excitement.

He was originally a bandit, but now he has become a regular army in the court. He is still under Wu Zhi's subordinates, and has made many military achievements and has an official position. If he followed Wu Zhi to defeat Xixia this time, they would have a deeper qualification.

Even if they have been bandits, they will try to be washed away as much as possible. The credit exceeds everything.

With the credit, it seemed that Song Jiang and others also became taller.

On the next day.

Wu Zhi looked at the map on the table and frowned: "This place is a canyon, why are there no Xixia army?"
