The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 194
Time went back to before Yu Yunwen set off from Bianjing.

"I have a difficult matter for you to handle, I wonder if you can handle it well?" Zhao Huan stood in front of Yu Yunwen and said lightly.

Yu Yunwen was already middle-aged at this time, when he heard Zhao Huan's words, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, just give orders, and I will be so heartbroken that I will not hesitate to do so."

"The siege of Stone City is imminent, but it will still take a day for the army to arrive. I want you to go there to relieve the siege of Stone City." Zhao Huan said flatly.

Zhao Huan's speech was not fast, but what he said shocked Yu Yunwen very much. He asked himself to solve the difficulties of Shicheng. He is a literati. How can he solve the difficulties of Shicheng? Could it be that His Majesty wants him to lead the troops? , I am a literati, but after thinking about it, Zong Ze and Li Gang, who are now leading the troops, are also literati. These days, the generals are weak, and those who resist the gold are actually some literati.

"Your Majesty, how many soldiers and horses will I bring this time?" Yu Yunwen asked. He was also confused. There must be no army. Could it be that the butler is going to let him bring hundreds of people there? Speaking of it, it doesn't make any sense.

"There are no soldiers and horses!" Zhao Huan said with a smile.

Yu Yunwen looked bitter, and said with some embarrassment: "Is it just that I went alone?" If I went by myself, wouldn't that be equivalent to jumping into a fire pit? Now that everyone else is running outside from Shicheng, it's good for me , actually went to Shicheng under the order.

"There are no soldiers or horses, but I have two tricks in my bag that I can give you!" Zhao Huan said to Yu Yunwen with a smile.

After saying this, in Yu Yunwen's bewildered eyes, Zhao Huan wrote down two strategies with a swipe of his pen, which were gunpowder and fire attack.

Yu Yunwen is not a pedantic person. To be honest, he is not sure whether these two strategies can defend against the enemy, but seeing that the housekeeper is so determined, he feels a lot more at ease, so he thinks that he should give it a try anyway. .

Standing by the Yellow River now, looking at the surface of the river that has turned into a sea of ​​flames, Yu Yunwen is naturally shocked. He is still mentally prepared to say that the first line will use gunpowder to kill many Jinjun, but this will spill oil on the surface of the river. The scene was really spectacular.

The oil followed the river, turning into a flowing fire dragon!

This is probably the first time for Song Jun to see such a scene. His mouth grows big. The guard Lu Hufeng has completely convinced Yu Yunwen at this time, and he came over and said respectfully: "Master Yu, what are you using? Immortal method, those golden troops will definitely not be able to make it through now."

Yu Yunwen couldn't help laughing, and said: "What kind of fairy method is just two tricks in your majesty's bag. Before I came, your majesty told me that with these two tricks, the siege of the stone city can be solved. If you want to come Your Majesty has already figured out all of this, and if you plan a strategy and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, your Majesty is truly a majestic and grand strategy."

When Lu Hufeng heard what Yu Yunwen said, he was also surprised. He didn't expect that the butler had come up with this plan himself, but he was even more shocked. Hasn't Your Majesty never been on a battlefield before? This kind of thing can be counted.

Contrary to the high morale of the Song army, the morale of the Jin army on the other side plummeted at this time. More than 2 people were killed in the bombing before, and more than [-] people were wiped out when they landed. Now they are burned again. More than [-] people died, and the Yellow River has not yet crossed, but it has already been calculated to be close to [-] people. Wanyan Zongbi's face is ugly and scary.

Compared with the damaged soldiers of the Jin Army, the most important thing is that the morale of the Jin Army has been greatly hit at this time. At this time, there is a saying that the Song Army will be able to use demons in the Jin Army barracks. The water of the Yellow River was ignited. In this way, many Jin troops naturally did not dare to cross the river.

Wanyan Zongbi frowned tightly. He was also surprised that the river suddenly caught fire. He said that water can put out fires, but he didn't expect that the water of the Yellow River could also be ignited. But this is enough. In fact, few people from the Jin army who crossed the river were actually burned to death. Most of them panicked after seeing the fire, jumped into the river and drowned.

"General, I found something unusual by the river, please go and have a look!" The person who came was Xie Chuanjun, a surrendered general who surrendered some time ago. Before that, Xie Chuanjun was sent by Wanyan Zongbi to establish a rebel in the Song Dynasty At this time, he rushed back and followed Wanyan Zongbi to attack Shicheng.

Wanyan Zongbi trusted Xie Chuanjun at this time, and when they came to the river together, they found something like oily flowers floating on the river surface.

"Is this fat?" Wanyan Zongbi asked suspiciously.

Xie Chuanjun nodded, and said to Wanyan Zongbi: "General, it seems that the Song army was cunning and spilled oil on the surface of the river, so the surface of the river was ignited. In fact, what was burning was just a layer of oil on the surface of the river. , When the oil is burned, it will be fine, so the Yellow River water is actually only a little scary when it is ignited, and the lethality is actually limited."

Wanyan Zongbi nodded. He is a smart person. He didn't know the principle of it before, but he also thought this method was miraculous. Now that he understands it, he also knows that this is just a trick to bluff people. It's a pity that the Jin army crossing the river panicked at that time. Fascinated, they jumped into the river one after another. Among the more than five thousand soldiers, few were actually burned to death, and most of them were drowned. Very few soldiers in the north knew how to swim.

"The Song army always does some heretical things, but they don't know how to break through everything. This time, the general will lead the army to cross the river in person, and he will definitely break the stone city!" Wanyan Zongbi seemed to be aroused, Said with a fierce face.

But when he really wanted to cross the river, Wanyan Zongbi found a problem. He failed to cross the river twice in a row. All the boats of the Jin Army had been damaged. Now if he wanted to cross the river, he needed to rebuild the boats.

So the army began to get busy, felling trees and weaving rafts. The [-] troops moved together, and the speed of making rafts was extremely fast. After two hours, a thousand rafts had been made.

"General, it will be dark in another hour. From the perspective of the last general, it is better for our army to rest for one night and wait until tomorrow morning before attacking the city." Xie Chuanjun suggested to Wanyan Zongbi.

Wanyan Zongbi glanced at the sky, hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's still early, pass on my military order, and all the soldiers will cross the river with me."
