I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 573: A Ruthless Strategy to Destroy the Enemy in One Stroke

“Of course, we can first send hundreds of thousands of people to dig a firebreak several dozen meters wide around this mountain.

Don't dig too deep, just shovel away the flammable materials, such as hay, wheat stubble, etc.

A firebreak several dozen meters wide is enough to prevent the fire from spreading.

Then build a defense line, consolidate the defense, let all the hot air balloons carry kerosene into the sky, sprinkle the kerosene on the trees and the ground, and then shoot a few rockets down.

Directly set the entire mountain on fire.

Weiyang Mountain is an isolated mountain, with plains to the south and mountains to the north. As long as the firebreak is dug, there is no need to worry about the fire spreading."

Yu Ziling imagined this scene in her mind: the endless raging fire spread, the whole mountain was burning, countless people were burned into firemen, wailing as they turned into charcoal.

Thinking of this cruel scene, Yu Ziling couldn't help but shiver.

so horrible.

What’s the difference between this and Bai Wuan?

This guy actually came up with such a horrific murder plan while doing this kind of thing.

Yu Ziling thought for a moment and said,

"I think, how about we try to persuade the enemy to surrender first?"

Shen Changgong said as he exerted his strength,

"Of course we have to persuade them to surrender. We will first surround them and let them know they have nowhere to go. Then we will dig firebreaks while trying to persuade them to surrender.

If they knew what was happening, they would surrender.

If you don't know the current situation, you will be burned alive."

"Huh? Well..."

"Don't talk, get down."

"you……"

……

After the waves rolled, Shen Changgong stood up, wiped his body clean, wrapped himself in a bath towel, wrote a letter, wrote down his plans, and then took out a few military tokens, opened the door, and said to the maid outside,

“Go find Tu Que Ling and tell him what I have said.

Let her give this letter to the King of the South and ask him to give the order directly to set off early tomorrow morning.

The other military tokens were given to Yu Huatian, Nie Bei and Yang Hongying respectively.

Tell them, tomorrow morning, immediately lead the army to surround Weiyang Mountain, set up camp, and start digging firebreaks.

Then dispatch a small number of soldiers to clean up the battlefield, bury the bodies, and leave quickly."

"clear."

The maid didn't dare to look up at Shen Changgong's perfect figure. Her cheeks flushed. She quickly remembered it in her mind and went to find Tu Que Ling with the things in her arms.

Tu Queling, who had already lain down to sleep, had to get up again after receiving the order. He took the things with a resentful look on his face and rode at full speed to find King Nan and other commanders.

After giving the instructions, Shen Changgong closed the door again.

At this time, Yu Ziling was still lying limply on the edge of the bathtub, looking at her with resentment on her face.

This bastard can really torment a woman in the middle of the night.

Shen Changgong smiled slightly, untied the bath towel, took Yu Ziling out of the bathtub, and hugged her with the bath towel.

"Isn't General Yu extremely skilled in martial arts? How come he can't handle this level of combat?"

Yu Ziling nestled in his arms, rolled her eyes at him, and complained,

"Don't you see how long I fought today and how far I ran? I'm almost dead tired, and now I come back and have to be tortured by you.

You should go and bother Gongsun Wan'er. She didn't run much today and has been sorting out intelligence the whole time."

"Are you complaining now? That's not what you said when you were having fun just now."

"Get out of here! Do you want to embarrass me to death?"

Shen Changgong laughed, picked her up and walked towards the big bed.

"Okay, we won't bother you tonight. Let's go to sleep. You don't have to get up early tomorrow. Yang Hongying is leading the troops. They don't have to fight. They just need to surround the enemy. We will go there in the morning."

"Ok."

Lying on the bed, Yu Ziling fell asleep in Shen Changgong's arms like a kitten.

Shen Changgong looked at her lovingly.

This Yu Ziling is really a cat. Usually, she is full of energy, aggressive, powerful, arrogant and cold.

When she is well behaved, she will nestle in his arms and act coquettishly, making him happy.

When asleep, she is as quiet and beautiful as a kitten.

Then after a night, I feel full of energy again.

The difference between her and Gongsun Wan'er is that she is a dog. When you don't hit her, she will bite you. When you hit her, she will be well behaved and even wag her tail.

He has to be beaten every few days, otherwise he will go crazy.

Silent all night.

When I woke up, it was already morning.

Shen Changgong stretched, pulled Marshal Yu to have another big fight, and then got up to get dressed and wash up.

After a night's rest, Yu Dashuai did some morning exercises and was full of energy.

While eating, Shen Changgong asked Tu Que Ling,

"How's the army? Has it set out?"

"Yeah, they've already set off. They've probably already started surrounding the mountain by now."

"Where are the enemies? Did they escape?"

Gongsun Wan'er immediately said,

"No, they have been digging trenches and building defense lines on the hillside. It seems that they are planning to fight us to the death here.

Either they intend to use human lives to delay us and buy time for the south, or they intend to delay until reinforcements arrive."

"Haha, it took a while for reinforcements to arrive. They retreated so hastily that they had no food except the little rations they brought with them. They left all of it for us at Yuling Pass.

How will they hold out until reinforcements arrive?"

"Then they can only use human lives to slow us down. If nothing unexpected happens, they will fight us to the death."

Shen Changgong nodded and said,

"Que Ling, order all the kerosene in the army to be collected and set alight. Once the firebreak is complete, begin setting fire.

You should personally take some people with you to handle this matter, and make sure it is stored properly."

"it is good."

After giving them all the instructions, Shen Changgong took them out of the general's mansion, riding their horses and heading quickly south.

Along the way, they encountered many Yan soldiers who were forcing Wei prisoners to dig pits and move corpses, cleaning up the bloody battlefield.

These Wei soldiers had expressionless faces and numb eyes, showing neither anger nor hope.

They knew that the Yan army was invincible and there was basically no hope of them being exchanged back.

They also knew that the principle of the Yan army was not to kill prisoners. They would usually detain them temporarily and make them do some labor work. After the country was destroyed, they would let them go.

So they didn't resist.

This is the reward that the Yan army has received for its reputation.

After arriving in the south, the Yan army had already begun to build walls and set up camp.

According to the orders of the commanders of each army, the wall facing the enemy must be strong to prevent it from being breached when the enemy breaks out. At the same time, artillery firing ports are left so that the artillery of the Shenji Camp can be fired and hit directly at close range.

If you are shooting from a distance, it won't be that troublesome, just shoot upwards.
