A few days later, 100,000 reinforcements from Shu arrived from afar. Zhao Hao, Xiao Danglu and others climbed up the city wall again and looked at the Shu camp from afar.
The entire Shu camp was a dark mass.
They are all tents.
Xiao Danglu snorted, "It's finally here, it's time!"
There was no trace of fear on the old general's face, not even a hint of worry.
Only a burning desire to fight.
Seeing Xiao Danglu like this, Zhao Hao only felt that the old man in front of him seemed to have become younger all of a sudden.
Not so old anymore.
Zhao Hao couldn't help but ask: "Old General, when do you plan to take action?"
Xiao Danglu said, "Tonight, while they are still not firmly established, it would be a good idea to send them a gift."
Zhao Hao nodded and also felt that tonight was the best time.
Tonight must be the most careless and relaxed moment in the Shu army camp.
Before, when there were 40,000 to 50,000 people, Dagan did not take the initiative to attack. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, Dagan will be even less likely to take the initiative to attack.
So, the timing is just right.
After coming down from the city wall, everyone arrived at the maintenance workshop.
Immediately, a young leader came up and introduced the two of them to some of the manufacturing procedures of Kongming lanterns.
After a full half month of production, the number of Kongming lanterns has reached nearly one thousand.
Five to six thunder bombs can be placed in each one.
There are more than 5,000 bombs in total. If they exploded at the same time in the Shu army camp, it would be absolutely shocking.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion from the Maintenance Workshop, Xiao Danglu began to select his generals.
Together with the five thousand men brought by Zhao Hao, there were a total of 20,000 soldiers, and he united them all.
"Tonight, there happens to be some easterly wind, which is a good opportunity for us to rob the camp!"
"After the flying lantern explodes in the Shu army camp, it will definitely cause them huge damage."
"The Shu army camp will surely fall into chaos."
"At this time, you lead your troops and follow this general to attack the Shu army camp!"
Upon hearing this, the generals nodded in agreement, and Zhao Hao watched from the side.
Not a single one of these people showed any fear in their eyes.
This shocked Zhao Hao deeply.
It is said that great soldiers are brave and fearless in battle, and now it seems to be true.
Finally, Xiao Danglu looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Little rat, you just stay in the city and watch me slaughter these Shu bastards!"
Zhao Hao did not try to show off, but nodded and said, "I wish the old general and all the generals a triumphant return!"
Xiao Danglu laughed and said, "With your flying lantern leading the way, I will definitely win this battle tonight!"
As time passed, night gradually fell.
Zhao Hao led a group of soldiers and released thousands of Kongming lanterns into the air at the same time.
Blown by the slight easterly wind, each Kongming lantern turned into a star.
When all the rockets were raised, people from the Shu army camp ten miles away immediately saw them.
Immediately, he reported the situation to King Xiaoyao.
Upon hearing this, King Xiaoyao walked out of the central military tent and saw countless spots of light flying towards his camp.
Someone nearby immediately reported: "Your Majesty, these lanterns all flew out from Luoye City."
"It's probably the action of Gan Jun."
King Xiaoyao snorted coldly, "They are just some lanterns. Even if there are any conspiracies or tricks in them, they won't cause any waves!"
"Always keep an eye on the movements. If these lanterns float over my camp, order the archers to shoot them down and see what's going on!"
"Your command!"
After giving the order, King Xiaoyao turned around and walked back into the tent.
Continue to discuss the specific matters of attacking Luoye City with a group of generals.
"Now, my reinforcements of 100,000 troops have arrived, and we will move camp to the foot of Luoye City tomorrow."
"Xiao Danglu definitely doesn't dare to come out, so we have to continue our assault!"
"This time, we must not give them any chance."
"Take down Luoye City in one go!"
"The 150,000-man army is divided into three teams: front, middle, and rear."
"We will attack in turns without stopping and take the city in one fell swoop!"
Last time, his 100,000-strong army failed to capture Luoye City and suffered heavy losses, which made him extremely annoyed.
As a last resort, he sent an additional 100,000 troops.
All in all, a total of 200,000 troops were dispatched, but they still couldn't capture this small Luoye City.
Then he, as a head coach, is really incompetent.
Therefore, when he starts the attack tomorrow, he is determined to take it down in one go.
Just as he was continuing with the detailed deployment.
Outside the big tent, many lanterns were already floating in the sky.
According to his orders, hundreds of archers were already ready.
The archers drew their bows and arrows, and as the arrows flew out, they all hit the lanterns accurately.
After being hit, lanterns fell from the sky one by one.
Many soldiers were curious about how this lantern flew into the sky.
So, they all walked out of the tent and came outside to watch.
As a lantern fell to the ground, many soldiers immediately hurried forward to meet it.
Flames were seen scattered all over the ground, and then, to no one's surprise, a deafening explosion sounded.
Boom!
More than a hundred soldiers who were close to the scene were blown away, and after landing on the ground, their bodies were not even intact.
Then, there were screams and wails one after another.
Inside the central army tent, King Xiaoyao and his generals were arranging tactics.
After the first explosion, everyone was shocked and rushed out of the tent.
When they came out, they saw lanterns being shot down from the sky one after another.
After landing, a huge explosion occurred immediately.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked.
King Xiaoyao immediately shouted loudly: "All archers, stop shooting!"
In fact, the archers had already stopped without his order.
However, the lanterns continued to fall one after another.
All of a sudden, all the soldiers panicked and started to hide.
However, there were too many lanterns, and the number of soldiers in the barracks was also too many.
For many people, there is simply no way to avoid it.
Seeing the lanterns falling one by one and forming huge explosions around them, King Xiaoyao's face was almost dripping with tears.
At this moment, a lantern was also falling quickly from above his head.
A general with sharp eyes shouted at everyone to get out of the way.
King Xiaoyao acted as if he didn't hear anything and even forgot to dodge, and was still forcibly dragged away by several of his men.
After he reacted, he quickly gave orders to the generals.
"The Gan army will come to raid our camp later with this conspiracy. You should quickly gather your troops and prepare to fight the enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a thunderous cry of killing.
The dry army has arrived!
