There were a large number of Huns in Yanmen Pass, and the fire-fighting team was quickly summoned and went around to put out the fire.
When Huchuquan looked back at the outside of the city again, he found that the blazing fire rings had gradually extinguished.
A leader of ten thousand men pointed to the city and laughed and said: "Look, my king, the fire is out, haha."
"Yeah." Hu Chuquan nodded with a smile, then turned his eyes and said solemnly: "No, the fire has not been extinguished, it is still burning."
“Huh?” The Ten Thousand Captain was stunned when he heard the words. After looking carefully, he found that there was indeed a faint fire shining.
Within a moment, the flames at the source of the extinguished fire became brighter and brighter, becoming clear and distinguishable.
The captain scratched his head and couldn't help but wonder: "What a wicked sect, why is this fire burning again?"
"Although I don't know why, it seems that Qin Hao's son really put in a lot of effort to light this fire!" Hu Chuquan frowned and said in a deep voice: "But I want to see, you What kind of tricks do you want to play! ”
“Oops, there’s a fire in the granary.”
"What?"
Hu Chuquan's eyes widened. What he was most worried about happened.
The granary was inspected by Huchuquan himself. Logically speaking, it was impossible for it to catch fire, but it happened, which gave Huchuquan an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
“Oh no, the armory is on fire too!”
“Oh no, all the warehouses are on fire”
“Damn it, why don’t you all go put out the fire for me!” Huchuquan roared.
Outside Yanmen Pass.
Looking at Yanmen Pass, which had illuminated the entire sky, the generals were filled with doubts. Yanmen Pass was obviously Stone City, but how did the fire start?
"Young Master, what exactly is going on..." Gao Shun was the first to step forward and ask.
Qin Hao smiled slightly when he saw this, and then winked at Wang Meng. Wang Meng took out a black stone from his arms, handed it to the generals, and said with a smile: "Generals, do you know what this is?"
Although some generals thought they looked familiar, they just couldn't name them. Most of them just shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know them at all.
Zhang Liao thought hard for a long time, and finally remembered it. He couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't this the stone used to lay the foundation when the pass was built? What can this stone be used for?"
"Haha, this thing is very useful." Wang Meng smiled lightly and said: "My lord named this thing coal stone. Coal stone is not easy to burn, but once it is ignited, the fire will be difficult to extinguish, and it will not stop until it is completely reduced to ashes. ”
Wang Meng's words made everyone except Qin Hao change their expressions, and then almost everyone took a breath at the same time.
This coal and stone are everywhere in Yanmen Pass. If a fire is lit, the 90,000 Xiongnu troops in Yanmen Pass will really be buried with Yanmen Pass!
At this time, the generals finally understood what Qin Hao's strategy to defeat the enemy was. What a vicious plan!
"Young Master, was it possible that the city was built with coal and stone just for today?" Gao Shun asked the question in the minds of all Yanmen Army generals. When he thought that he and others had actually fought **** such dangerous stones for four years, Everyone couldn't help but be afraid.
"No, I did this just for prevention. If Yanmen Pass cannot be defended one day, I will just set fire to the pass to delay the Xiongnu's march south, so that Guangwu can have time to prepare." Qin Hao explained patiently.
"As for how many Xiongnu people can be burned to death, there are too many variables. After all, no one knows how many Xiongnu people will be stationed in the pass, and whether they will break out once the fire breaks out, so setting fire to the pass is the final stab at death."
Thinking about Qin Hao's words, the generals think it makes sense. If the Xiongnu didn't all enter the pass, there would be no point in setting fire to the pass. If the fire started and the Huns would abandon the pass, then burning the pass would also be meaningless.
“Then how can the young master be sure that all the Huns will definitely enter the pass?” Xu Huang asked doubtfully. If this kind of thing relies on gambling, then the luck will be too good.
“I was not absolutely sure at first, but after Mr. Wang Meng’s little plan, I am absolutely sure about it!”
“Oh? What’s the plan?” Xu Huang continued to ask.
Wang Meng gently shook his feather fan and explained with a slight smile: "The human heart is a complicated thing. Yanmen Pass also has special significance for the Xiongnu, so the Xiongnu must be very excited after the pass is broken. Our army left so much supplies, wine and meat in the pass, so I predict that the Xiongnu will enter the pass to celebrate."
“Is it that simple?” Xu Huang asked differently.
"It's that simple."
“Xu Huang is convinced!”
As soon as Xu Huang retreated, Qin Hu stood up and asked coldly: "What if the defenders break through at all costs?"
Qin Hu has deep feelings for Yanmen Pass. This pass was rebuilt with great effort by his father and uncle, but Wang Meng burned it down in a plan. Although it was also for victory, Qin Hu still had some resentment towards Wang Meng in his heart.
Of course, Qin Hu is definitely not the only one who has resentment.
Wang Meng smiled calmly: "If the defenders break through at all costs, they may be able to break through with some troops, but I'm sure the defenders will never break out!"
“Why?”
"People tend to take chances. As long as a small number of people try to break out and die, the remaining people will not continue to try, but would rather stay on the tower and lose the final chance of escape while watching and hesitating. Besides, I won’t let them escape so easily.”
Wang Meng’s explanation made everyone silent. Sometimes things in people’s hearts are complicated, and sometimes they are very simple!
As for the result, Wang Meng did not say it clearly, but everyone knew that when the coal burned completely and the fire spread completely, even the iron man would be turned into gold juice, let alone the human being!
“What a vicious plot!”
Some generals looked at Wang Meng with a little fear in their eyes.
This person's tactics are ten times more ruthless than Xi Zhicai's military advisor!
Qin Hu was speechless and had to retreat, but Zhang Liao stood up and continued to ask: "Sir, have you forgotten Xianbei?"
Interesting, Qin Hao looked at the scene in front of him with great interest, and thought to himself: Is Wang Meng going to stage a good show of verbal battle with the generals?
"With the loss of Yanmen Pass, even if our army can win this battle, if Xianbei and the company send troops to invade, what can we do to resist?" Zhang Liao said calmly.
When the generals heard this, they immediately showed solemn expressions. Yes, Yanmen Pass was not the only one to defend the Huns. Even if they used fire attack to severely damage the Huns, without Yanmen Pass, they still could not resist Xianbei!
"Haha!" Faced with Zhang Liao's aggressiveness, Wang Meng did not panic at all. Instead, he said calmly: "It is because I know that Xianbei will never attack, so I dare to persuade my lord to adopt this strategy."
