The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 354 Seizing the Deer City

After the King of Jin was angered by Li Ling for torturing and killing the prisoners, he always had a grudge against Li Ling in his heart. Seeing that Li Ling refused to attack the city for a long time, he came to persecute him again and again eager for quick success, but let him talk freely. Li Ling only said: "The time is not yet." arrive."

Li Ling dragged on until the end of autumn without arrogance or impetuosity.

On this day, King Jin, who couldn't hold back his temper, found Li Ling's tent of the Chinese army again. Before he could urge him to urge him, Lieutenant General Liang Jinjin reported back.

Li Ling also followed Liang Jin to look at King Jin, and then said to Liang Jin lightly, "But it's okay to say."

After winning Li Ling's life, Liang Jin clasped his fists and said, "Marshal, all firearms such as kerosene and flint are ready."

Li Ling nodded, and replied: "You can inform me, the whole army is on standby, and listen to my orders."

King Jin followed for dozens of days, and today he had waited for all of Li Ling's actions. He rolled his eyes, immediately put on a small face, and said to Li Ling, "I said cousin. Oh no, it's Li Ling." Handsome, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? I think you are really sincere to see me as an outsider, and treat me as an outsider, hehe, this king is the deputy commander after all, you should reveal to me what kind of plan you are planning. One or two."

Li Ling's Northwest Army waited until the end of autumn to attack Lucheng. The reason why it took until this time to send troops was because Li Ling came up with a clever plan to break the city.

That is Fire Attack.

Lucheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, all are cliffs, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but such terrain also has disadvantages,
That is the lush trees on the three sides of the mountain. If the grass and trees are dry in autumn and winter, and a big fire starts, the city trapped in the middle will naturally be destroyed by itself.

Li Ling came up with this plan, but the reason why he never told King Jin was that King Jin was too selfish and eager for quick success, so he couldn't let Li Ling believe it.

Now that the broken city is in front of him, Li Ling is no longer afraid of leaking the news, and naturally he has no reason to hide it from King Jin.

Li Ling looked at King Jin and said with a blank expression: "It's not that the commander-in-chief deliberately hid the prince, but this matter is of great importance. If it gets out, I'm afraid it will spoil the plan."

He saw that Li Ling took back the three cities easily, but in fact he had already convinced him in his heart.He knew that Li Ling was a difficult master, Li Ling didn't trust him, and the King of Jin didn't care too much, it didn't matter if he couldn't take Li Ling down, he could earn military merits, and when he returned to the capital, he would take down the crown prince and ascend to the position of the crown prince himself Position is what King Jin cares most about.

The King of Jin smiled at Li Ling and said, "Although I have never led a soldier before, I know the rules in the army, so why would I pick on Li Shuai because of this?"

As he said that, he looked at Li Ling and asked, "Just now, can Li Shuai tell me when you plan to attack the city?"

Li Ling answered two words neatly: "Tonight."

King Jin frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Are you planning to sneak attack?"

Li Ling replied: "No! This commander plans to attack Lucheng with fire."

After hearing Li Ling's words, the King of Jin thought hard for a long time before he was enlightened. He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Shuai Li is a good planner! He really is resourceful!"

Li Ling raised his eyes and glanced lightly at the King Jin who was dancing happily, but said nothing.

The King of Jin praised Li Ling, and suddenly waved his hands again: "No! No! It's autumn now, and the northwest wind is blowing. Lucheng is in the southeast, and our camp is in the northwest. If there is a big fire, I'm afraid it won't reach Lucheng, on the contrary, will bring disaster to us."

Li Ling glanced at King Jin, but he didn't expect that this man had some brains, and he was not a complete idiot.

Li Ling winked at Liang Jin, and Liang Jin stepped forward and clasped his fists at King Jin and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the marshal is watching the stars at night, and the wind direction will change tonight."

King Jin was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Ling in amazement and said, "In autumn, the wind always blows from the northwest, Li Shuai is really sure that the wind direction will change tonight, this is no joke, I advise you to think twice. "

If the fire ignites and the wind direction remains the same, then the whole camp will be burned. King Jin's heart is thinking about the position of the crown prince, and he doesn't want to return without success like this.

Li Ling nodded at King Jin and said: "In seven days, only tonight is the southeast wind, the prince just wait."

Jin Wang glanced at Li Ling, still not convinced: "Then the king will wait."

King Jin stepped out of the tent of the Chinese army. He looked up at the big tree whose branches and leaves were trembling due to the northwest wind, and complained, "Where did the southeast wind come from? I think Li Ling is also helpless against this Lucheng. half stupid."

King Jin looked at the generals in the camp who were busy carrying firearms, sneered helplessly, and quickly summoned his confidants to tell him: "Let's get our supplies and horses ready first, in case the fire comes to the camp at night, The group of rebels in Lucheng will naturally take advantage of the fire to loot, if so, the army must be in danger. When the fire rises, if the wind direction does not change, let's go first."

The confidantes listened to King Jin's order and trotted to pack their bags and prepare for a fast horse.

Jin Wang stood outside the big tent and waited for the wind direction to change, but when the sky got dark and the wind direction did not change, his heart felt cold.

After a while, I saw the mountains on the other side of Lucheng burning into the sky, the wind borrowed the fire, and the fire borrowed the power of the wind. The raging fire dyed the vast black sky red, and billowing black smoke came straight to the camp.

The guards in the camp were all smoked out of the big tent. They bent over and covered their noses, coughing so hard that they couldn't straighten up. The camp that was about to reap the fruits of victory gradually lost its order. Smoked to hide in disorder.

The generals in Lucheng did not expect that Li Ling would attack Lucheng with fire. They suddenly saw fire everywhere. They were confused, but seeing that the thick smoke from the fire was blown to the camp of Qi soldiers by the strong wind, all the soldiers in Lucheng were shocked. Big sigh of relief.

Lucheng was besieged by Li Ling's army for several months. Although the food and grass in the city were abundant enough to last two to three years, Shi Xiu was also worried that there was no way to retreat from the enemy. Now, a god-given opportunity, Shi Xiu saw the situation and had an idea, and immediately ordered the opening of the city Door.

He took the generals under his command, led the army out of the city, and came straight to the Qi army's camp aggressively.

In an instant, outside the Qi army's camp, the enemy's shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, and it was soul-stirring.

King Jin, who was staying in the camp, saw this posture, and his legs were so frightened that he slapped his thigh in anger, and cursed: "Oh my god! The rebel army has come in! This, this, this, the whole army is really going to be wiped out!" Ah, ah! Li Ling, oh Li Ling, you really missed this king's important business!"

Seeing that the rebel army invaded the camp, and the [-] Qi army was about to be annihilated, King Jin regretted that he did not earn military merits during this trip, but after all, his wealth and life were the most important thing, so he couldn't care less about other things at this moment.

King Jin got on his horse neatly, and with a few entourages rode fast horses and slipped away from the back door of the camp.
