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

Zhao Yuanlan was also studying the map.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't understand much about military strategies, so he didn't say anything and waited silently for them to discuss countermeasures.

Zhao Yuanlan frowned, wondering how to break the situation if the opponent really launched a fire attack.

"General, we have to find a way to solve the fire caused by the incendiary bombs on the other side."

Should we prepare more water?

"Yes, but I'm afraid the fire will spread quickly and be difficult to prevent."

"Yes."

Several other deputy generals also echoed this, and they were obviously very sad.

Zhao Yuanzhen listened to their conversation and felt that they seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.

"Big brother!"

"Hmm? What's wrong, little sister?"

Zhao Yuanlan looked up at her.

"Brother, can you guys think in a different direction and stop thinking about breaking the fire attack?"

"And then? Go on."

Zhao Yuanlan felt as if something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it.

"The most fundamental way to break a fire attack is to not allow the opponent's incendiary bombs and firebombs to have any chance to work. This is the only way to solve the problem once and for all."

Instead of thinking about how to put out the fire as quickly as possible, it is better to directly eliminate the source of the fire.

"Miss Zhao's strategy is correct, but how do we solve it?"

"Yes, we can't destroy the other side's throwing stones and incendiary bombs."

"Yes."

Zhao Yuanlan's frown relaxed.

"There is a way. Deputy commanders, please look here."

He took out the map he had been studying and placed it on the table for everyone to see.

"This is where the enemy has set up camp. They may have chosen a location surrounded by mountains on three sides and in a low valley in order to hide from the public. Although this location has good concealment, it has a fatal flaw: it is difficult to defend but easy to attack."

The place where the enemy set up camp was a valley.

The other side probably thought that if they bribed our scouts, they could hide there safely. Of course, if Zhao Yuanzhen hadn't happened to be out at night and accidentally discovered their military camp, they would have really gotten away with it.

However, perhaps God was on the side of the Daliang Dynasty, allowing them to discover the enemy's movements even though their scouts were bribed.

"Yes, the camp they chose has no advantages other than good concealment. It is low-lying, has a poor view, and is located in the mountains and forests."

"Yes, so it is in our favor. Since they are going to use catapults to drop incendiary bombs and launch a fire attack, we will give them a taste of their own medicine."

The military camp opposite is more afraid of fire than them.

"But, General, we don't have catapults or incendiary bombs."

They had no such large siege-throwing machines.

"No, they need catapults to attack our city because our city walls are relatively high, but their terrain is in the valley, so we only need to use rockets to shoot at them."

Shooting from top to bottom, coupled with the gravity bonus, the arrow's distance is completely sufficient.

"Yes, we just need to shoot with bows and arrows on the mountain. I just don't know how many rockets and arrows we have left. I will go check it out later."

"Okay. We don't need a lot. Prepare 5000 archers. Shoot in two rounds. 2 arrows will be enough."

"Yes, I will go check it out in a moment."

"Ah."

"General, I wonder when we will counterattack?"

"In my opinion, we can do it in the afternoon. Since the enemy is preparing to launch a surprise attack at night, they will surely rest and recuperate in the afternoon. We can launch a surprise attack at this time when the enemy's defense is the most relaxed, which will definitely catch the enemy off guard. What do you think, General?"

A deputy general offered a suggestion.

"Well, Deputy General, this time is fine. Then we will choose an hour in the afternoon to launch the assault. We will break through at noon and attack at noon."

Zhao Yuanlan also felt that this was a good time as the enemy's defense was relatively weaker at this time.

"Okay, let's choose this time. We will launch a fire attack in the first round. The enemy is in low terrain and our arrows can't reach us. After we launch the fire attack, we will wait for them to counterattack. Once they find that their arrows can't reach us, we will launch a fire attack.

The enemy will surely evacuate quickly or set up a missile launcher. We must try to evenly distribute the rockets and arrows at the enemy camp before they set up the missile launcher. Then, we will prevent them from forcing their way out and retreat. We must surround all four intersections, and the enemy will be trapped in a trap."

This natural battlefield for catching turtles cannot be wasted.

"Yes, let's get ready now."

"Okay, thank you all for your hard work, vice generals. Please report all quantities in a timely manner."

"Yes, General."

"Well, let's go."

Then everyone evacuated Zhao Yuanlan's main tent.

"Brother, you should rest too. I want to go back and rest too."

Zhao Yuanzhen was still thinking about the bribed scout.

"Okay, little sister, go and get some rest."

Zhao Yuanzhen left Zhao Yuanlan's tent and went to find the guard who had just captured the scout, asking for the scout's name. He then performed a system scan.

Looking at the motionless little green dot, it is hiding.

Judging from the approximate location, he is still in the military camp and has not gone out yet.

Yes, now the gates of the military camp are tightly closed and heavily guarded, so it is not easy for him to go out. He can go in and out by himself thanks to the invisibility cloak.

Zhao Yuanzhen enlarged the map and went to find the traitor scout according to the instructions on the map.

This guy was quite good at finding hiding places. He hid in a rice bag in the kitchen.

Because scouts are tasked with reconnaissance, people who are usually chosen are short and flexible, so even though he is an adult man, he can still hide in a rice bag.

Zhao Yuanzhen waved her hand and called a patrol team.

I gave them a signal in advance to keep them quiet.

A few people understood and came over quietly. Zhao Yuanzhen pointed at the rice bag and signaled to them again.

They understood immediately that there was someone in the rice bag. He was probably a spy, otherwise why would he hide in the rice bag?

In an instant, several spears were pointed at the rice bag and lifted up the bag. The rice bag obviously knew someone was coming. At first, it pretended to be the rice bag and did not move. It was not until it was lifted up by the spears that it began to struggle.

The leading patrol member slowly approached the rice bag with a shield and cut the bag with a knife. In an instant, a head was exposed among the rice.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the scout wanted to run, but before he could stand up, he was knocked to the ground by a spear.

Several long spears instantly crossed and blocked the area around him, trapping the scouts as well, cutting off all chances of escape, preventing him from committing suicide out of fear of the crime, and gag him.

"Miss, how do we deal with this?"

The captain of the patrol team asked Zhao Yuanzhen for advice.

"Take him to General Zhao and say he was a bribed scout."

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't plan to go with them. She let Zhao Yuanlan interrogate the case himself. She wanted to go back to sleep.

"Yes, Miss."

Zhao Yuanzhen watched a group of people taking the man away, and then she went back to rest.

I have to go to the battlefield tomorrow, so I can't do without rest.

After going back and washing up simply, Zhao Yuanzhen fell asleep quickly.

She was woken up by the sound of training in the military camp in the morning. She looked at the time and it was almost 8 o'clock.

Get up, wash up, and be refreshed.

After having a quick breakfast, I went to find Zhao Yuanlan.

Several deputy generals and Zhao Yuanlan were also discussing things in the main account.

When they saw Zhao Yuanzhen come in, they just glanced at her casually and said nothing.

"General, I checked the rockets and arrows. There are enough. There are more than 3. It is more than enough."

With 3 arrows and 5000 people, each can shoot 6 arrows. If they surround and shoot in a circular pattern, there will definitely be fire outside the enemy's territory, but the inner circle may be a little worse due to distance issues and probably cannot be shot.

"Okay, the arrows are fine, what about the others?"

“The rest is ready.”

"Ready."

"Ready."

"Okay, then let's have lunch early, and then break out directly after lunch. First, surround the enemy, and then catch them in the urn."

"Yes, General."

"Yes, General."

After the deputy generals finished their report, they all went out.

"Brother, I will follow you to the battlefield. I will set off in a moment. I will first find a way to deal with the enemy scouts."

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the enemy scouts must be dealt with.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. You don't have to go to the battlefield, we can handle it."

Zhao Yuanlan disagreed.

"Brother, you forgot that I can come and go freely in the palace. Don't worry, I'm very capable. Besides, if the enemy scouts discover us in advance and they occupy the high and low positions, we will be caught in the trap."

What Zhao Yuanzhen said was not impossible to happen. If the enemy scouts discovered it early, occupied the high ground early, and installed the catapults, then they would lose the most favorable geographical advantage.

"Well, I'll send someone else to handle the scouts, and you can stay in the barracks."

"Brother, they can't find it. I'm good at martial arts. Don't worry, it's okay. Just let me go."

"If anything happens to you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Brother, don't worry, I'll be fine. It's decided. I'm leaving first."

Zhao Yuanzhen ran away after saying this, without giving him a chance to refute.

Zhao Yuanlan was angry and worried, but he also knew that his younger sister had her own ideas and he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only choose to trust her.

Zhao Yuanzhen climbed over the city wall from the same place as yesterday and put on the invisibility cloak in a deserted place.

He took out Xiao Hei and rode towards the direction of the scout that was scanned.

Zhao Yuanzhen scanned the surrounding area and found the small green dots not too far from either side. They must be scouts.

He slowly approached the nearest scout. Because he was wearing an invisibility cloak, the scout, although very smart, did not notice Zhao Yuanzhen. He just felt like he was being watched.

The enemy scouts always felt that this sense of being watched was continuing, but after repeated observations, they found nothing unusual. They searched carefully around, and there was indeed no one.

But his intuition told him something was wrong, so he decided to move to another place just in case.

Having worked as a scout for many years, he trusted his intuition very much.
