Following Liu Xiao's instructions, Chi Wushu sent his barbarian soldiers to Ruifeng County to transport all the linen that the people in the city had no time to take away, and then collected the kerosene in the city.
The opponent can use fire attack, so why can't he?
As long as they can burn through the gate of the village, they will see how the bandits resist. Of course, the prerequisite is that they can first block the bandits' fire attack.
For this purpose, Liu Xiao specially modified the battering ram.
"I have dug up the yellow mud you requested."
Wu Tumeng's voice sounded, and Liu Xiao said, "Mix water to make the thickest yellow mud, and add three parts of human urine into it."
Wutu Meng frowned slightly, not knowing what Liu Xiao was going to do, but Chi Wushu told him to obey Liu Xiao's command, so he could only take people to stir the yellow mud.
In the afternoon, the barbarians finished stirring the yellow mud. Liu Xiao then directed them to soak the linen in the mud. After it was completely soaked, they took it out and covered the surface of the ram. The dark yellow mud flowed along the wood grain, emitting a slight smell of urine.
Chi Wushu also came over at this time, picked up a piece of scrap with a knife, and found that the linen wrapped in mud had become a little hard.
"Are you going to use this as a fire extinguisher?"
Liu Xiao smiled and used a dagger to cut open the surface, revealing the wet cloth inside. He smiled and said, "Yes, the outer layer of mud will form a crust when it encounters fire. The inner layer of wet cloth can hold out for at least half a quarter of an hour."
"That's enough time to break down the gate. If you can't break it down, just burn it open."
"Also, do you have any miasma bombs left? If we throw them onto the city wall, it will also cause casualties to the bandits, making it easier to break through the gate."
Chi Wushu laughed and patted Liu Xiao on the shoulder affectionately, "You are very good. If we break through the stronghold this time, you will be the first to achieve the credit."
"I dare not, I dare not."
Liu Xiao quickly said modestly, and Chi Wushu said, "Then let's attack the mountain stronghold tomorrow."
Liu Xiao said, "The sooner the better. The mud should not be left for too long. Besides, it will be dark soon, which will be more conducive to our actions. Let the warriors of the Red Mud Clan put on these sackcloths, push the battering rams to ram the gates, and use the slingshots to throw stones from behind. We can break into the village tonight."
He did not forget the thing that could emit strong light in the hands of the bandits when he attacked the stronghold at night. The barbarians would definitely panic when they saw it, and this was exactly the effect he wanted.
He could then take advantage of the chaos to escape. Besides, what he wanted was for both the barbarians and the bandits to suffer heavy losses, so he concealed the strong light in the bandits' hands and did not mention it.
He seemed to have anticipated the scene that would happen in a while, where the barbarians broke through the village gate and fought with the bandits. The bandits used strong light to dazzle the barbarians' eyes.
When the fighting between the two sides reaches its climax and no one is paying attention to him, he can sneak away.
This plan is perfect.
I am such a genius!
Liu Xiao couldn't help but feel a little proud. How on earth did I come up with this plan of killing two birds with one stone?
It’s me as expected!
"Wutumeng, tie him up."
Just when Liu Xiao was feeling smug, Chi Wushu gave an order, and Wu Tumeng immediately took a hemp rope and tied up Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao: ???
No, I made siege weapons for you and tried to prevent the enemy from attacking with fire, but you let someone tie me up. What's the meaning of that? Do you have any conscience?
"Chief Patriarch, what do you mean?"
Liu Xiao was anxious. How could he escape if he was tied up?
Chi Wushu pinched his chin and laughed, "Don't panic, I won't burn the bridge after crossing it. I tied you up for your safety. Just stay by my side."
Chi Wushu was not a fool. There were many variables in fighting at night. Although he had siege weapons and was almost certain to attack the stronghold, he still remained cautious.
Chi Wushu knew that Liu Xiao was so cooperative on the one hand because he was afraid of being beaten, and on the other hand it was to make them relax their vigilance.
Such a talent cannot be allowed to run away. Chi Wushu felt that the greatest gain of his trip was not how much food he found or how much supplies he robbed, but that he captured Liu Xiao.
This man is not only good at swordsmanship, but he can also build siege weapons and think of ways to prevent fire attacks. He is truly a rare talent and such a person cannot be allowed to escape no matter what.
The growth of the Chini tribe depended on this man.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, they tied the other party up and tied one end of the rope to Chi Wushu's belt. No matter whether Liu Xiao wanted to escape or not, he could not escape now.
When Liu Xiao saw Chi Wushu tying him to his belt, he immediately closed his eyes and his face became gloomy.
It’s over!
It's completely fucking over now!
How could this damn chief be so smart? Aren't barbarians said to be strong in body but simple in mind? This time he met someone who didn't play by the rules.
With Chi Wushu's strength, once he was tied up, he would have no chance of escaping.
Liu Xiao was so angry that his teeth were itching. This was just like a happy sparrow breaking its eggs. It was too early for him to be happy.
“Go up the mountain!”
Without looking at Liu Xiao's bitter face, Chi Wushu waved his hand, and immediately 2,000 barbarians went up the mountain again.
Liu Xiao brought wheels from the county town so that the battering ram could be pushed, and the catapult was carried up the mountain by the barbarians.
I have to say that these barbarians are really strong. They can walk steadily even carrying slingshots.
The barbarians behind were two people who were packing a large piece of stone. There were more than a hundred huge stones in total, which the barbarians found with great difficulty.
The stone walls of Qingyan Mountain are very hard and cannot be dug out without professional tools.
It took the barbarians several days to dig out these more than a hundred huge stones.
Chi Wushu felt that it was enough. The key to this war was not the catapult, but the battering ram.
Throwing stones only served to intimidate the bandits and cause psychological panic.
The setting sun was as red as blood, shining on Qingyan Mountain, dyeing the grass and plants a layer of blood. The bodies of the barbarian soldiers who were burned to death in front of the mountain stronghold had been cleared away.
However, there are still some black residues on the ground. A lot of weeds have been burned, and many have turned yellow. Although several days have passed, there still seems to be a faint burnt smell in the air.
There was newly turned soil on both sides of the open space, and many corpses were buried under the soil.
Originally there were only officials and soldiers, but now there are barbarian soldiers as well.
In order to save trouble, the bandits did not move the bodies too far away, but dug pits on both sides to bury them, which made Pei Yun feel that it was almost a mass grave.
Why do you have to hit yourself?
He didn't provoke anyone in the mountain stronghold, so it was understandable that the officials were picking on him, as he kidnapped the county magistrate's daughter. It was also understandable that the officers and soldiers were picking on him, as he kidnapped Zhang Zeshan.
But the damn barbarian soldiers actually picked a fuss with him. Are you here to plunder the county or to suppress bandits?
There had been no movement from the barbarian soldiers in the past few days, which made Pei Yun think that they had left.
I just didn't expect these barbarians to come again.
A group of bandits climbed up the city wall again, and Pei Yun bought another pair of binoculars, which made Wang Xuan a little confused.
Are there so many clairvoyants in the sky?
I already have one here, and the boss has made another one.
When Pei Yun saw that the barbarians came up this time and actually brought out catapults and battering rams, his face became a little solemn.
Are these barbarians crazy?
You're going to fight me to the end!
