Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

The camp is in the shape of a circle.

The general's main tent was in the middle, and the other tents were built in a circle around the general's tent.

Each circle is bigger than the last, and it goes around many times.

The number of people was more than 15.

It seems like they are really going to make a big move, but I don’t know what they want to do?

Observed the guard's defense for a day.

On average, a team is replaced every hour. There is a sentry every three meters on the periphery. The patrol soldiers are in groups of 20, and there are estimated to be 100 groups. The inner circle of tents is also heavily guarded.

Zhao Yuanzhen found a hidden place that was easy to observe. He observed for a while and then went into the space to rest.

This state continued until it was completely dark.

The arrival of night means the arrival of her home court.

After dinner, she rested herself up and quietly entered the Jin army camp during another shift change of the guards.

The system wisely blocked all her auras. She wore an invisibility cloak and slowly moved towards the main tent.

There were people in the main tent, quite a few of them, and they seemed to be having a meeting.

She walked over quietly, ready to eavesdrop.

"General, everything you ordered is ready."

"Well, is there enough oil?"

"Don't worry, General. We have enough oil ready. We are refining it right away."

"What about the throwing machines? How many are there?"

"We currently have 20 taels of mortars. Although it's a little short for siege, we have incendiary bombs to make up for it."

"Okay, then let's proceed according to the original plan. Tomorrow night is the day when our Jin Kingdom will occupy Daliang Dynasty again."

Last year, he had led his troops to attack Hejian Prefecture. If the conservatives had not believed that without the help of the Sixth Prince, they would be in danger, they would have withdrawn their troops early.

The emperor even issued 17 consecutive decrees, asking him to withdraw from the Daliang Dynasty.

Otherwise, he was confident that with his military talent, he could march straight to the capital of the Daliang Dynasty.

"Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General!!"

A group of deputy generals were flattering him.

They were fully prepared this time and had secret weapons.

It will definitely be a great victory.

Zhao Yuanzhen was shocked again and again when she heard this. These people were actually planning to attack tomorrow, and it would be a sneak attack at night.

I just don't know what their catapults and incendiary bombs are?

She listened for a while, and all that was left was some meaningless drinking sounds and bragging.

She quietly evacuated the main tent, slowly searching for the catapults and incendiary bombs.

A military camp with more than 15 soldiers is still very large, so Zhao Yuanzhen just turned on the scanner and scanned the entire area.

In the middle area far away from the main tent, we found a tent guarded by many people.

He walked over quietly and entered the tent under the cover of night.

There was no one in the tent, but it was a little dark and I couldn't see clearly.

But these are tools, to be sure.

Zhao Yuanzhen silently touched a few items and entered the space, then she also entered the space. She wanted to see what the mysterious weapon was.

Once you enter the space, the brightness increases.

Zhao Yuanzhen discovered that the so-called throwing machine was a catapult.

This is a large, lever-powered weapon that can hurl stones over long distances.

But looking at the round objects wrapped in animal fur, Zhao Yuanzhen opened one and found that it contained nickel stone, which was coal briquettes.

This should be the so-called incendiary bomb.

Animal fur itself has fat, and if you sprinkle some oil on it, add coal balls and throw them in the right places, the fire can be started in no time.

They were preparing for the surprise attack at night again, which increased their chances of success.

There is no big river near the military camp, so once a fire breaks out, it is not easy to put out.

This move is a very powerful tactic.

Moreover, they actually had 20 taels of iron for this trebuchet. You have to know that this thing not only requires a large amount of iron, but also requires very good craftsmen to manufacture and calcine it.

I don’t know where they came from. You know, they don’t have this thing in their military camp.

She was a little confused now, whether to collect all the catapults now, or not to alert the enemy first and go back to tell Zhao Yuanlan and then discuss countermeasures.

This catapult is really huge, and it was taken away so quietly by myself, which is a bit too scary.

I should go back and discuss it with Zhao Yuanlan first.

Zhao Yuanzhen put the catapult and incendiary bombs back into the space.

He quietly moved out of the camp, slowly retreated to a place where he could not be detected, took out Xiao Hei, and rode him quickly back to Zhao Yuanlan's camp.

After walking around for a long time, I finally found a place that was relatively easy to enter the military camp.

The matter was of great importance, so Zhao Yuanzhen didn't care whether it was late or not, and went straight to the door of Zhao Yuanlan's tent.

"Miss, the general has gone to bed."

The guard outside the main tent reminded her.

"Yes, I know, but I have something urgent to do. Go and wake up the general."

"Yes, Miss."

The guard entered the tent without hesitation to wake up Zhao Yuanlan.

"General, please wake up. The young lady said she has something urgent to discuss with you."

"Okay, I understand. I'll get up right away."

Zhao Yuanlan was a light sleeper and would wake up at the slightest movement, let alone being woken up by someone.

"Yes, General."

Upon hearing this, the guard slowly retreated.

"Miss, the general will be up soon."

"Ok."

Sure enough, within 2 minutes, Zhao Yuanlan opened the tent and came out.

"Little sister, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Brother, this is a serious matter. Let's go in and talk."

Zhao Yuanzhen entered the main tent first.

"Little sister, tell me, what's wrong?"

"I was bored tonight, so I took a night walk, and then I accidentally discovered the enemy's military camp. There are about 40 enemy troops stationed behind the mountains 15 kilometers away."

"!!!Little sister, you said you went to the enemy camp alone?"

Zhao Yuanlan was going crazy. Her little sister was courting death. If she was caught, the consequences would be disastrous for her as a woman.

This is really ridiculous.

"Ahem, brother, I found it by accident."

There was no way Zhao Yuanzhen would admit that she had taken the initiative to investigate.

"You mean you accidentally wandered to the Jin territory 40 miles away from the border at night?"

Whoever wants to believe this excuse can believe it, but he won't.

"Yeah, I saw it accidentally."

"You are really too careless, little sister. I hope you can be more careful next time!"

This sister is really opinionated and never listens to me.

"Brother, now is not the time to talk about this. I saw 15 enemy troops stationed there. I also heard them say that they will launch a surprise attack on the city tomorrow night."

"Wait, you said you heard it?"

"Yes, I heard it."

"You! Where did you hear that?"

"I heard it next to the enemy's main tent. They said they wanted it."

"You actually ran into the enemy camp, and next to the main tent, little sister. You are really too brave. Have you ever thought about what I would do if something happened to you? How would I explain to my parents, how would I explain to Xin Bai and the others? How would I explain to myself?"

Zhao Yuanlan was already very frightened about her going to the border of the Jin Kingdom. He didn't expect that she would break into the enemy camp alone and eavesdrop on the main tent. This was simply a crazy and suicidal behavior.

"Brother, don't be angry. I was wrong. I will pay attention next time. Please listen to me first, and we will talk about my affairs later."

"You, you, go ahead."

"I heard them say that they will launch a surprise attack on the city tomorrow night, using catapults to drop incendiary bombs. The incendiary bombs are made of animal fur soaked in oil and covered with nickel."

Trebuchets? Molotov cocktails?

When did the Jin people have this kind of large siege equipment?

If incendiary bombs really attack us, it would be very easy to catch fire in the dry weather. It would be really difficult to deal with it then.

"How many bombers do they have? How many incendiary bombs?"

"There were 20 incendiary bombers and more than 3000 incendiary bombs."

"There are quite a few of them. Little sister, please draw the specific location on the map. I will ask the lieutenants to come to the meeting."

This matter can't be delayed any longer.

"Okay, big brother."

Zhao Yuanzhen took the copied map handed over by Zhao Yuanlan and drew the place where the enemy camped on the map. Then he waited quietly for Zhao Yuanlan to call people to a meeting.

After a while, the deputy generals came over one after another.

Everyone came in and saw Zhao Yuanzhen was there, but no one said anything.

Your Majesty has allowed Zhen Shuren to join the army, so they can't say anything.

When Zhao Yuanzhen decided to follow Zhao Yuanlan back to Yanshan, Zhao Yuanzhen wrote a letter to His Majesty, wrote a letter of request, and took Zhao Yuanzhen with him all the way.

His Majesty also readily agreed.

"Commanders, I have just received confirmed news that the enemy general Harihan is stationed with his troops behind a mountain 40 kilometers away from our army, roughly at this location."

Zhao Yuanlan took the copied map and showed it to everyone.

"So close? Didn't our scouts notice it?"

Zhao Yuanlan was stunned. He was so angry at his younger sister that he even forgot about the scout matter.

Logically, scouts should be investigating the movements of enemy troops within a radius of 40 miles. However, this place is only miles, and no scouts have discovered it?

And according to my younger sister, they have been stationed here for several days.

"Go and bring over the scout in charge of this direction."

Zhao Yuanlan immediately ordered someone to capture the scout.

After a while, the guard came back.

"Reporting to the general, the scout is not in the tent, and even his personal belongings are missing."

Damn, he actually ran away.

"Go check and see when he left the camp."

"Yes, General."

Zhao Yuanzhen decided to ask the scout what his name was and scan it himself.

"According to reliable information, the enemy will attack the city tomorrow night. They have 20 catapults and more than 3000 incendiary bombs. Once they attack, the consequences will be disastrous. Now, generals, think about how we should respond."

Several deputy generals and military advisors looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering where the general got such detailed information, even the number of the enemy's catapults and incendiary bombs was so accurate.

The enemy's incendiary bombs were very effective against their military camps. There was no large water source near the camps, and the fire was difficult to put out, which would delay the troops and create chaos.
