The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Chapter 169: Using ingenious strategies and tricks, the dummy deceives arrows and defeats the enemy

Bundles of match ropes were piled up one after another, and Helian's army went back and forth ten times. A total of one hundred bundles of match ropes were piled up before they were finished.

Fu Shoucheng and Dingzhou's general were both monks two feet tall and were confused.

The main purpose of match ropes is to repel mosquitoes in summer, and they produce smoke when burned.

Such a thing has never appeared on the battlefield.

Now that it's winter again, there are no mosquitoes at all.

Fu Shoucheng thought quickly and suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that the purpose of Helian's army using match ropes was to create smoke?

He felt the direction of the wind and was shocked.

It's Dongfeng!

If all those hundred bundles of match ropes were ignited, the huge smoke would be blown westward by the east wind.

And Dingzhou City is just on the west side of the wind direction.

"Oops!"

The general of Dingzhou was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Helian's army wants to use the power of the east wind to blow the smoke from the match rope towards our army."

When the Dingzhou garrison heard this, he also became nervous: "Do they want to use the smoke to choke our army and block our army's sight?"

Fu Shoucheng frowned slightly, his eyes dark.

Seeing him silent, the Dingzhou guard asked anxiously: "How should we respond?"

"If it's just smoke, there's no need to worry too much. The smoke is only temporary. As long as we hold on to the tower and prevent Helian's army from entering the city, there will be nothing they can do when the smoke dissipates."

After Fu Shoucheng finished speaking, he looked down at the place where the fire attack had been set up below and felt very regretful.

Once the match rope is ignited, the dead grass on the land of the fire attack will also be ignited. In this way, their plan to use the fire attack to destroy the Helian army will also come to nothing.

Fu Shoucheng clenched his fist, and due to excessive force, the wound on his left shoulder was affected.

Taking advantage of the pain, he forced himself to stay awake and stared intently at the handsome He Lianhuan riding a horse in the distance.

Even though he was a little far away, you could still feel his calm and confident aura.

Before encountering Helianhuan, Nalan's army was invincible. Facing Helian's [-]-strong army commanded by the two brothers Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi, they were able to inflict heavy losses on Helian's army.

However, since meeting He Lianhuan, everything has gone wrong.

Anger and frustration intertwined in his heart, Fu Shoucheng glared at Helianhuan, determined to protect Dingzhou and give Helianhuan a heavy blow.

It was thought that after the match rope was in place, Helianhuan would order someone to light it.

But it's not over.

At Gu Jingli's signal, more soldiers marched out of the Helian army.

They were holding huge sacks in their arms, and they didn't know what was in them. They looked bulging.

I saw these soldiers throwing all the big sacks in their arms on the withered grass.

As the number of sacks gradually increased, there were nearly a hundred, and the entire fire attack area was almost covered with match ropes and sacks.

Fu Shoucheng and Dingzhou Governor became increasingly confused.

What's in the sack?

What the hell is He Lianjun planning?

Could it be that the Helian Army did not just use smoke attacks?

There was a strange atmosphere permeating the battlefield, which made people feel uneasy.

The two continued to stop and watch, and found that He Lianjun dropped the sack and began to move things again.

What was moved out this time was...

When Fu Shoucheng got a clear look, he became increasingly uneasy and his eyelids twitched.

The guard general of Dingzhou also twitched the corner of his mouth and said:

"This is the first time I've seen bellows used in siege."

A bellows is a device used to generate wind power.

It consists of a wooden box, a push-pull wooden handle and a movable wooden box.

As long as the handle is pulled, air passes through the air inlet and the bellows of the bellows is filled with air. Pulling the bellows again can press out the air.

In ancient times, people used bellows to make the stove fire more powerful.

No one could have imagined that bellows would one day be used on the battlefield.

This simply subverts people's cognition. People who are not very imaginative cannot imagine such an operation.

This is why Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi were shocked after hearing He Lianhuan's deployment.

At this moment, Helianjun had already set up the bellows.

There are about a hundred bellows lined up in a row, and the air outlets are pointed in the direction of Dingzhou City.

When everything was ready, Gu Jingli lightly jumped off his horse, with a sly smile, he took out the fire seal from his arms and waved it towards Fu Shoucheng at the top of Dingzhou City.

This provocative move made Fu Shoucheng very angry. He knew what the other party was going to do, but he was powerless.

He could only watch helplessly as Gu Jingli set fire to the dead grass with a fire stick.

In winter, dry grass is dry and flammable. Once it is broken by fire, it will burn immediately. When the east wind blows, the fire spreads to the west. In an instant, it has burned to the bulging sacks.

The sack ignited immediately when exposed to fire, releasing a pungent smell. Upon closer inspection, it was actually filled with bright red chili peppers.

The flames burned brightly and then reached the match rope.

In order to make the fire more intense, dozens of Helian soldiers worked hard to pull the bellows.

The sound of "Hula Hula" was like the painful wheezing of a patient, extremely harsh.

Under the influence of the bellows, the dry grass, chili peppers, and match ropes burned more and more vigorously, and when blown by the east wind, the people standing on the Dingzhou City were unlucky.

I saw thick smoke filling the sky above Dingzhou City, like clouds covering the sun.

The smoke is bearable, but the most terrible thing is that the pungent smell produced by burning chili peppers is not only choking, but also irritating to the eyes.

The defenders were choked by the smoke, and their eyes were so hot that they could hardly open their eyes. They couldn't even control their body's natural reactions by coughing and crying. There was chaos on the tower.

Fu Shoucheng was choked to tears and his eyes almost turned into peaches. He was in great pain.

Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi outside the city laughed so hard when they saw the miserable appearance of the defenders in Dingzhou City.

The Helian army behind them all couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The whirring of the bellows and the laughter of the soldiers were endless mockery of Fu Shoucheng and others.

The defenders at the top of the city were anxious and angry, and wanted to curse loudly, but when they opened their mouths, they were forced to inhale the spicy smoke, as if pepper water was poured into their throats.

No words could be said, only endless coughing.

At this point, the city's defense was greatly reduced. Everyone was just coughing, with a lot of runny noses and tears, and their whole faces were red from holding back.

He Lianhuan was not in a hurry for success, but instead smiled and waited for the opportunity.

The smoke was scorching, the chili pepper was pungent, and in just one stick of incense, the defenders at the city head almost choked to death from the harsh environment. They were all sweating like cooked shrimps, and their resistance was completely lost.

Seeing that the time was right, the soldiers who were pulling the bellows stopped at He Lianhuan's signal and returned to the team.

Helianjun was fully prepared. They took out the wet handkerchiefs they had prepared in advance and covered their faces to block the smoke.

The cold touch on the face made the soldiers' minds become clearer.

He Lianhuan waved his hand and issued a military order: "Get up the ladder and charge!"

He led 1 troops to attack from the front, like a tiger descending from the mountain, with momentum like a rainbow.

Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi each led 1 people, assisting from the left and right sides and covering with arrows.

The sound of "whooshing" arrow clusters piercing the air filled the entire city.

The defenders on the city became living targets and fell to the ground one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the ladder was set up on the city wall.

Helianjun climbed up as nimbly as an ape, showing no fear.

The city guard wanted to fight back, but his swollen eyes could hardly be opened, and his vision was blurred by tears.

Before they could fight back, if they exposed their heads, they would be shot dead by the men led by Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi.
