"Fire attack?" The commander was skeptical about this method.
After all, the enemy's camp cannot be completely defenseless. If a team is sent deep into the enemy camp to set fire, there is an 80% chance that they will not be able to come back.
Of course, such a large imperial guard army would not be unable to put together a death squad.
However, the selection of the members of this death squad needed careful consideration. Otherwise, if they picked the sons of some prominent nobles, wouldn't it bring enmity upon their families?
Seeing that the commander was somewhat restrained, Xia Daohua endured it and gave up the idea of going into battle herself.
We don't understand ancient wars, and most likely we can't help. We don't coordinate well enough, and we might even affect other people's deployments. It's better not to make things worse!
But it is not difficult to satisfy Zhou's wish to kill the enemy personally.
If we can't do it ourselves, can't we send a drone?
Although the drones in his hands are toys, even toys, if used in the right place, can catch people off guard and make everyone drop their jaws!
However, it’s not a good idea to resort to such means right from the start.
Let's see how the Imperial Guards can fight this battle...
Xia Daohua contacted some merchants, and together they bought some livestock such as pigs, cattle, and sheep. The next day, they sent them to the military camp with drums and gongs to entertain the troops.
This trip only cost Xia Daohua a small amount of money, but it made the commander have a very good impression of her. As soon as he heard the three words "Lord Xia", his eyes would instantly bend.
He made up his mind that if Li Gan was able to marry this girl in the future, he would definitely go to the wedding and give a gift! If Li Gan couldn't get this girl, he would have to make plans for his own children and grandchildren!
Poor Xia Daohua was so obsessed with getting close to the commander that she sent out her own drone as a bomber at the critical moment. She never expected that she would be targeted just by showing off a little of her wealth.
Facts have proved that the Imperial Guards are well-equipped, well-treated, and have decent daily training. However, they have little experience in actual combat, and when they first confront the Northern Barbarians, they are inevitably a little timid and fearful.
But General Gong was charging in the front, and Lady Xia was consoling the troops in the back. The people of the capital were no different from those in other places. There were crowds of strong men and women who took the initiative to go up to the city walls to help. Seeing the common people fighting so bravely, the guards were not so shameless, so they naturally boosted their courage.
When the commander-in-chief told the plan of night attack and arson, more than one deputy general volunteered to be the leader of the death squad and break into the enemy camp at night.
The commander personally selected a Song general to lead the night attack. The attack and support were clearly arranged, but the development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations.
General Song failed to burn the enemy's camp, but instead went to the wrong place and was captured alive by the enemy and surrendered on the battlefield.
After surrendering, the enemy asked him to come outside the city to persuade them to surrender. He came anyway and was almost shot to death on the spot by the furious General Gong.
This incident dealt a heavy blow to the commander-in-chief, and he dared not send out any more people for night attacks - the cunningness of the northern barbarians was far beyond his expectations.
He closed the city gate again and refused to open it again.
After receiving the news, Xia Daohua asked to see the commander again and decided to set the fire herself.
After obtaining permission from the commander-in-chief, Xia Daohua's drone formation flew into the sky with great momentum and dropped countless "cocktails" into the enemy camp.
If it falls on a tent, the tent will burst into flames. If it falls on a person, the person will instantly become a fire man.
The Northern Barbarian Army's camp was ablaze with flames and soon fell into massive chaos.
The commander seized the opportunity and sent four teams of troops out of the city. They charged and fought for two quarters of an hour before withdrawing. Another four teams of troops then went out of the city to continue the charge and took the lives of many Northern Barbarian officers and soldiers in the chaos.
Soon, the screams of the Northern Barbarian Army replaced the cries of the Han slaves. This battle was fought with great pride and shocked everyone in the capital who was paying attention to the war.
Fire attack, can you actually attack like this?
