The Era of Generals

Before Chen Ze could respond to this warning, he made the civilians beside him nervous.

This is the attack?

The fierce battle just now has not caught his breath, and the second round is coming soon?

The opponent is a total of 5,000 people!

Just because we are unarmed... oh, we have weapons, but does it matter?

In the face of elite soldiers who are trained to be poisonous, and the opponent still has an absolute advantage in numbers, besides being massacred, what else do these civilians have?

Even though Chen Ze was also with them, and even though Chen Ze was still slapping his chest to reassure them just now, when they heard that the enemy had already attacked, most of the civilians were still trembling in their calves.

He ran without turning around, just because he was shaking too much and couldn't run.

"My... my lord, how about we..."

It was still the courageous commoner from before, he gulped down his saliva, and tried to persuade him, "Let's go back first?"

"I said, none of you will die!"

Chen Ze glanced at them coldly, and sighed inwardly, after all, they were just some civilians. If this person's remarks were said from the mouth of a soldier, it would be a big taboo, and the general would use it as an excuse to disturb the morale of the army , cut off with a sword.

If it were any other general, compared to How Xuan, I'm afraid he would make a move if it was true.

But if this is really done, with the low morale of these civilians, it is estimated that they will have to collapse on the spot, and then make some radical actions, it is really hard to say.

Right now is the time for employing people, and for the sake of the army, after Chen Ze sternly scolded, he took the lead with Li Quan'an and Xu Qing and walked in front, which can be regarded as setting an example for everyone.

The civilians hesitated for a moment, but they didn't dare to disobey the military order too much, so they had to bite the bullet and follow.

As a result, Chen Ze didn't go directly to the other side of the hill, but stopped after walking halfway, turned around and waited for them quietly.

Seeing things can't be done, want to give up?

The civilians were overjoyed and hurried to Chen Ze's side, waiting for him to give the order to retreat.

However, Chen Ze pointed at the dozens of carriageways on the spot: "Order them!"

He Xuan's troops escorted the grain and grass to Bo'an City and returned. These dozens of carriages contained the grain and grass needed by the troops returning to the city.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and looked at Chen Ze in confusion.

"Don't you understand?"

Xu Qing had endured it for a long time, and finally said impatiently: "Don't you understand? My lord told you not to let you die, so I never thought of letting you go to the battlefield!"

"All you have to do is set these chariots on fire and rush down the hill, that's all!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.

"Wonderful!"

Someone shouted in relief: "Those people attacked from the bottom of the mountain. Let's use the lit carriage as a fire attack and charge. It would be strange if we didn't smash them up!"

"My lord, it's a great move!"

"Well, that's how it is!"

All the civilians who came back to their senses looked excited, and they were even more excited when they thought of those nasty Zhu Yan soldiers being hit by the fiery chariot and wailing to the sky!

Of course, the most exciting thing is that I really don't need to go to the battlefield anymore, I just need to light a fire and drive the carriage.

What's wrong with this?

Chen Ze smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't delay too long, just get down to business first."

When the scouts came to report back just now, Chen Ze knew that the opponent had already attacked halfway up the mountain, and he reckoned that it would take only two sticks of incense at most. It is a combination of swords, shields, hooks and sickles. It is not difficult to form an formation to defend against the collision of dozens of carriages.

It will pay a certain amount of damage, but it will never be too large, and it will still have the strength to massacre these civilians.

The strategy of attacking with fire was something Chen Ze had long thought of, but it was only suitable for use at this time. Just now, the large army led by Ruan Wenshan surrounded the mountain with a half-moon formation. There are only a few dozen vehicles, which is not enough to cause a devastating blow to it.

That's why Chen Zecai has been refraining from using this trump card.

But the enemy army here is different.

Ruan Wenshan heard the sound of the phoenix and the arrow just now, of course Chen Ze could also hear it. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he only needed to think about it for a while and knew that it must be a signal to Ruan Wenshan. In addition to the movement, it is also to explain to him his intention to attack the hill from the other side.

What they want is to attack the mountain quickly, not like Ruan Wenshan did before, the idea of ​​annihilation is not to run away a Qingyang soldier, so of course they will not put up the same formation.

Furthermore, even if you want to pose, the number of people is much smaller after all, and the formation is not heavy, and its effect will naturally be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the opponent's positions are naturally dense, so that these dozens of carriages can be used to their maximum effect.

Asking Xu Qing to stay here and instruct the civilians to pour oil on the wagon full of food and grass, Chen Ze, Li Quanan and the scout who came to report the news rushed to the edge of the hill first.

"grown ups!"

The scouts who stayed behind couldn't help being puzzled when they saw only three people coming back, and Chen Ze didn't have time to explain to them, so he just asked, "Where are you? Where did you go?"

Someone hastily pointed down the hill to Chen Ze. There are many bushes growing up to the neck of the hills here. As long as you bend down, you can sneak among them without being noticed.

But Chen Ze still saw Zhu Yan's soldiers who had already walked halfway up the mountain at a glance.

The troops here are already reloaded and advancing, and even looking up, you can see that there are not many people on the top of the mountain. There is no need to hide their bodies in a hurry. There are more than 5,000 people, basically in the mode of rushing. Cutting down the bushes, if it wasn't blocked by this, I'm afraid I've already climbed to the top.

After carefully observing the opponent's formation, it turned out to be a dense advance method as he expected. Chen Ze settled down a bit, and even calculated the opponent's advancing route in his mind.

Then he nodded and said to the scouts: "You guys continue to monitor, if their formation changes, you must notify me as soon as possible!"

Without waiting for everyone's response, he left Li Quan'an here, and rushed back quickly by himself, leaving only a few scouts, Monk Zhang Er, puzzled.

Over there, there were nearly 2,000 civilians after all, and it was easy to do things with a large number of people. In a short while, the dozens of carriages were drenched with kerosene.

Those poor horses don't know what kind of nightmare they will face, they just lower their heads and gnaw on the tender grass on the ground.

Relying on the memory in his mind, Chen Ze ordered his people to line up the carriages, divided them into several columns, silently counted the time, then suddenly raised his head, and said with a stern expression: "Okay, let's give them a big gift! "

"ignition!"

With an order, the civilians who had been prepared for a long time threw the fire pockets at the carriage.

In an instant, the flames soared into the sky!
