Two hours later, Liu Feng led a large army to the foot of Feihuo Mountain.
Liu Feng divided the people he brought into two groups.
Some people went to the surrounding mountains and forests to cut trees, while another group started to make fire at the foot of the mountain.
What is Liu Feng’s purpose?
It's obvious.
In history, the famous general Bai Qi used this method to open mountains and divert water, flooding Yancheng.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"The bandits are all in the mountains. Using fire like this will probably be useless."
Wu Santong looked at the towering Feihuo Mountain and asked in some confusion.
It is daytime now, and so many people come here to cut trees for firewood. This is nothing in itself, as many people have come here to collect firewood before.
Even if the bandits discovered it, they wouldn't take it seriously.
But at night, with smoke everywhere and fire rising to the sky, the bandits would definitely notice something was wrong. They were collecting firewood during the day, so why were they doing this at night?
"Burn slowly, and they will eventually die."
Liu Feng laughed. His father-in-law was good in every way except that he didn't understand his actions.
But this is not surprising. After all, this was ancient times, and a lot of knowledge had not yet been summarized in practice. Even the existing knowledge had not been spread among the people.
After a ruffian who was looking for trouble was killed swiftly at the gate of Liufeng City, the deterrent effect was obvious, and these people were very efficient in doing things at this time.
In just half an hour, the foot of the mountain was already piled high with firewood. After the firewood was lit, flames soon shot up into the sky.
Heat expands and cold contracts. Legend has it that Dayu used this method to divert water from mountains when he was controlling floods.
And the most important thing is that it is winter now.
Of course, this method can be used thanks to the unique architectural location of Feihuoshan Village. They have a large number of buildings on the rocks extending outward from the mountain.
After the fire started here, Liu Feng took everyone away, leaving only a few people to ensure that the fire would not subside.
The next day, Liu Feng and his men arrived at the foot of the mountain early. At this time, the team had more than a thousand people.
The target is too big, so we have to hide and work around the entire Feihuoshan Mountain.
After all, with such a big target, all the efforts will be wasted if any abnormality is discovered.
In the afternoon, Wu Santong arrived with the remaining men. It only took Liu Feng three days to recruit soldiers this time.
The number has reached two thousand.
When leaving the city, Liu Feng fulfilled his promise and gave all their rewards and grains to their relatives.
Since he was alone, Liu Feng sent him directly home.
These people still need to go through the baptism of this battle, and finally a group of capable and courageous people will remain to join the Tiger Roar Army.
From the time Liu Feng distributed the miscellaneous grains and rice, these people had no chance to desert.
"You guys, set up an ambush on the way down the mountain."
"Remember this: if anyone comes down, no matter how many or how few, kill them all."
"You, follow my father-in-law to the city and bring the food here."
"The rest of you, find a place to hide at the foot of the mountain."
As it was getting dark, Liu Feng immediately began to make arrangements.
Liu Feng's arrangement was flawless. Under the strange terrain of Feihuoshan Mountain, it was very difficult for people to hide underneath and be discovered from above.
By the time everything was done, it was already completely dark.
At this time, the fire at the foot of the mountain seemed particularly abrupt.
The people on the mountain were slow to realize the fire was so big and are only now noticing it.
As time went by, sporadic sounds of communication could be heard from the mountain.
Even the sound of cursing.
"It seems that something unusual was discovered on the mountain, and someone came down."
“Not many.”
Now that we have discovered it, we must send someone down to check the situation.
The people on our side are hiding very well. Although there are many people, the terrain of the mountain is like this.
So if they wanted to see the fire, they needed to go down to the riverbank.
There is only one way out, a dead end.
Sure enough, not long after, a few screams were heard from the small path leading to the riverbank, and then they disappeared after a while.
First, kill people, second, collect their equipment, and third, chop off their fingers.
Soon, someone came to report the situation. This time, seven people came down. Because it was an ambush and caught the enemy by surprise, the action was clean and efficient, and no one on this side was injured or killed.
This was also Liu Feng’s plan to burn the mountain, but the number of people who came down in this way was after all a minority.
But as long as they keep sending people down, they can kill hundreds of people in the end.
Finally, wait until the temperature of the mountain is high enough to put out the fire. In a winter like this, the mountain will inevitably collapse after freezing overnight.
At that time, we will bring a large army up, and the remaining bandits will be like frightened birds, making them easy to capture.
The reason why Liu Feng went down to the riverbank to observe was to find a way to go up the mountain from another place.
He just happened to find it. Although it is steep, it is possible to climb up.
There were also no signs of human activity, indicating that the bandits had not taken that route.
Although there are several places that are completely cliffs, this does not pose a problem for Liu Feng. He just needs to dig while climbing the mountain.
He even thought that as long as everything went well, he might not even need to go up the mountain in the end.
"Next, they should send more people down."
"When the bean soup rice arrives, give each person a portion. Eat your fill and cheer me up."
"My food is enough to fill you up, but you won't work hard after eating it. Think about what happened to the scoundrels who started trouble at the city gate."
After shocking these people, Liu Feng continued to think.
The stronghold was located at a very high place, and these bandits did not dare to come down rashly, and it was even more difficult to go up and down.
