When Sun Ce heard that Cheng Pu had discovered something unusual, he immediately became energetic and signaled him to tell him quickly.
Cheng Pu said: "Your Majesty, I have discovered two unusual problems. One of them is that in Xinye City, only the gate we entered before is intact.
The city gates in the other three directions were all blocked by bricks and stones. I don¡¯t know what the enemy¡¯s plans were. "
After hearing this, Sun Ce frowned and thought hard for a moment, but could not figure out what the other party was thinking.
In the end, he had to say: "Perhaps Liu Ke was originally planning to use Xinye City to deal with our army.
¡°Perhaps I later heard that Gong Jin¡¯s strength increased greatly after he and Gu reunited. His general Zhang Liao was severely defeated, so he had to escape early in the end! "
But even though Sun Ce said this, he was completely unsure in his heart, let alone trying to convince Cheng Pu.
Cheng Pu was more sensible and did not refute again. His expression changed, and he finally accepted this explanation.
He could only agree and said: "Looking at the current situation, maybe that's it.
By the way, Your Majesty, there is another question that puzzles the general.
Liu Ke cleared out the people in the city, and those people carried away all their belongings.
However, during the inspection, the general found that there were a lot of hay, firewood and other things piled up in all areas.
Although these items are not valuable, they are extremely flammable and can be dangerous if they catch fire. "
After saying this, Sun Ce's expression finally became cautious.
He frowned, and after a long time he finally said: "De Mou, what you are talking about is a big hidden danger.
They should have been cleared out of the city, but it was already dark now. If they left the city rashly, they might be ambushed by the enemy.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbmbgs out out of the city, and burn it on fire! "
Hearing this, Cheng Pu immediately took the order and left, leaving Sun Ce alone in the room.
Sun Ce¡¯s decision was not imprudent, but he still made a mistake this time, which ultimately led to lifelong regret.
Cheng Pu did his duty conscientiously and sent people to guard all the areas he found where dry firewood was piled up to prevent the slightest spark from affecting them.
At the same time, he sternly instructed the leader in charge to guard the place all night long and no one was allowed to approach.
After so many instructions and everything was arranged, I finally left with peace of mind.
After Cheng Pu made another personal inspection and arranged everything, it was already completely dark.
And the enemy troops ambushing outside the city finally began to take action.
Seeing Sun Ce safely entering Xinye City, Zhang Liao's previously scattered troops quietly gathered again and waited ten miles outside the city.
According to Jia Xu¡¯s strategy, Zhang Liao cannot act rashly now.
His mission is to block the only gate in Xinye City and lock all the enemy troops inside without letting them out.
As for the task of fire prevention, it was handed over to Gan Ning, the commander of the navy.
Gan Ning led 500 elite navy troops who were already on standby downstream of the Jiao River, patiently waiting for Jia Xu's order to attack.
Xinye City was built along the water, located on the east bank of the Feishui River. Gan Ning's navy could reach the city from the Feishui River silently.
Jia Xu and Gan Ning were on a big ship together, counting the hours in their hearts.
It was not until midnight that Jia Xu finally stood up.
His actions immediately alerted Gan Ning, who was dozing, and Gan Ning looked at him nervously.
Jia Xu said firmly: "Xingba, it's time to go out!"
As soon as these words came out, Gan Ning immediately became energetic and immediately arranged for the navy to take action.
This time he dispatched a total of three ships, and a small catapult was placed on the deck of each ship.
However, although it is small, with Liu Ke's improvements, it can still throw ten kilograms of objects three miles away.
This distance is completely enough to throw it out of the center of the city.
I saw three large boats rowing upstream quietly under the cover of night.
Under Gan Ning¡¯s strict requirements, there was no light on the deck, so it was difficult to be spotted in the dark.
Although the paddles of the boat will produce the sound of water splashing, under the cover of the waves, unless you are extremely experienced, you cannot distinguish it at all.
So the three ships passed through the small halfAt 2 o'clock, we finally arrived outside Xinye City.
At the same time, Zhang Liao also came to wait three miles outside the city gate according to the agreed time. As soon as the fire broke out in the city, he immediately rushed to block the gate.
The ship anchored and stayed in the middle of the river. After lining up in a row, Gan Ning and Jia Xu walked onto the deck together.
At this moment, the sergeants had installed the small catapults and were just waiting to ignite the fire bombs and launch them.
When the soldier in charge saw Gan and Ning, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General, Doctor Jia, the catapult is ready. Please fire it!"
This first shot was also a signal to notify the other two ships to launch, which was no small matter.
Hearing this, Gan Ning looked at Jia Xu.
"Doctor Jia, this plan is yours, and you should be the one to fire the first shot!"
Jia Xu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Xingba, please don't embarrass me. I am a weak scholar. How can I fire a slingshot?"
It¡¯s better that you take full responsibility! "
Gan Ning insisted again, but Jia Xu still disagreed.
He had no choice but to retreat and do the next best thing and said: "Well, let's let Dr. Jia light the fire bomb and someone can launch it."
Just to light a fire, the doctor can't refuse anymore! "After saying that, he forced the Huozhezi into Jia Xu's hands.
In this case, Jia Xu could no longer disagree.
So he slowly came to the end of the firing arm, opened the fire cover, and reached for the fire bomb.
This fire bomb has stone balls inside, and several layers of tinder and linen are tightly tied with iron wire on the outside. It is then soaked in oil for three days and then dried in the shade.
Then a lot of saltpeter, sulfur and other explosive substances were poured into it, and the production process was very complicated.
When the outermost oilcloth came into contact with the flames, it ignited instantly and turned into a big fireball.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Gan Ning activated the launching mechanism and threw the fireball into the air.
At this time, there were still soldiers on duty at the head of Xinye City who were still awake. They saw a bright light on the river and were immediately attracted to it.
"Huh? Look what is that? Why is there fire on the river?"
A veteran next to him who had disturbed his sweet dream said impatiently: "I'm afraid it's a gangster passing by on the water. It's nothing to make a fuss about!"
Although he said this, the soldier just now was still staring there closely.
He saw the fireball flying into the air with a sudden sound, which aroused his interest even more.
"You're talking about Danhu, but why did that bright light suddenly fly into the sky? Could it be that a deity passed by?"
"What a mess, don't affect my sleep!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
