Twenty soldiers, carrying bows and arrows and quivers, and long swords strapped to their bodies.
One of the soldiers carried a large bundle on his back, which was used to manage military supplies for emergency use during the retreat.
It contains tinder, rope, signal flares, and fire mines.
Ning Che summoned the soldiers and distributed tinder to them.
Ning Xi'er handed the kerosene bottle to the soldier. She had just taken it out of her spatial storage and slipped it into Ning Che's hand when the soldiers weren't looking.
Ning Che whispered the battle plan to the soldiers.
Ning Xi'er left first, then stealthily circled the Jin army camp.
Since Ning Che had reminded her that the Jin people were skilled in magic, she couldn't let her guard down.
The plan was to create a big commotion with ammunition, alert the enemy, and put oneself in danger...
Ning Xi'er slipped away to the fence where the Jin army's horses were stored...
At the agreed time, Ning Che led his soldiers close to the Jin army camp and lay in ambush at the foot of a hill not far from the granary...
Tear off the inner garment, tie it to the arrowhead, and soak it in kerosene...
Just wait for Ning Che's command, and dozens of lit arrows will fly towards the granary from all directions...
Even though it's invisible, its body is still real.
There were thousands of horses, and Ning Xi'er had to be careful to avoid being trampled by them if she wanted to create chaos.
As his elder brother Ning Che said, this Crown Prince of Jin is indeed so powerful...
The cause will be thoroughly investigated afterward, and Ning Xi'er should try her best to cover it up perfectly to avoid getting into trouble.
Ning Xi'er kicked the rumps of a few horses, and the horses neighed and ran a few steps to the side...
The sudden movement startled the horse beside it, causing it to move as well.
Ning Xi'er carefully squeezed through the fence, and in the empty space in the center, she took out the phosphorus powder she had hoarded from the general store on Yujie Street...
Gently sprinkle it on the ground and cover it with a shallow layer of soil.
No, the phosphorus powder originated from these soil layers.
After scattering a piece, Ning Xi'er spurred the horses back to the center...
The horses stumbled and trampled in panic...
At night, the temperature is low, and phosphorus powder is not normally prone to spontaneous combustion...
But due to the heavy stomping of the horses' hooves and repeated friction...
A faint blue light suddenly appeared on the ground...
The blue glow quickly spread, resembling patches of "will-o'-the-wisps"...
The horses were startled and fled in all directions, neighing shrilly...
Because there were many horses, they charged wildly and completely broke through the fences that were holding them...
"not good!"
The soldiers guarding the horses, hearing the unusual noise, rushed to the scene...
Seeing thousands of horses, they were used like madmen...
He was horrified. If his colleagues hadn't rushed over and pulled him aside, he might have been trampled to death.
The two men, unable to stop the escaped horses, immediately went to the camp to report...
The tranquil camp was suddenly filled with the sound of gongs.
"The horse ran away!"
"Quick! The horses have already run away!"
As the gong sounded, the soldiers ran in unison toward the fence where the horses were guarded.
As the cavalrymen ran towards the main tent, the commander-in-chief and other generals had already rushed out upon hearing the news...
Because of Ning Che's reminder, Ning Xi'er dared not get too close.
Standing several feet away from them, you could see their movements and those of the sentries...
It can also be used to observe the direction of the granary, and if necessary, to provide support to the Yan army.
"General, let's go take a look too!"
The general beside him, asking the young commander for instructions, already showed signs of anxiety on his face.
The crown prince of Jin, who was in charge, did not reject their proposal...
The Crown Prince of Jin sent two generals to investigate...
The key point is indeed to have several generals lead their men to form a long line in front of the camp to prevent the horses from running into Yan territory...
The rest were instructed to remain at the camp and not to panic.
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's instructions, the generals gradually calmed down.
yes!
Their horses are all carefully and professionally raised.
As long as they didn't flee to the Yan state, there are ways to retrieve them...
At most, it just needs some time.
But why did the horses suddenly run away en masse...?
There are many suspicious points. Without a thorough investigation, rushing to chase after the horse could easily fall into a diversionary tactic...
The generals calmed down and, following the crown prince's instructions, separated themselves from the group.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
......
The generals had just dispersed when suddenly!
Dozens of whooshing sounds echoed through the air!
"Something terrible has happened!"
"Fire!"
"Be on guard! Someone's attacking!"
......
The dull thud of hooves subsided slightly, but the soldiers' screams quickly shattered the tranquility of the camp.
The soldier on patrol ran up and knelt before the Crown Prince, saying, "Reporting to the General!"
The crown prince was given the rank of general, which made it easier to conceal his true identity.
The soldiers of the Jin army all addressed the crown prince as "General".
"The granary has been attacked. The attackers number in the dozens and are hiding behind the granary..."
The arrows were on fire, the attack was fierce, and the top and ventilation shafts of the grain silo had already been set ablaze...
The soldiers are doing their best to salvage the situation, but there is a large amount of food, and there is a risk of loss...
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince of Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his lips, giving the illusion that he was smiling.
The crown prince's voice was calm, seemingly tinged with interest, "It seems we've gained another interesting opponent..."
