Chapter 1001 Who's in for whom? (Part 2)
Zhuozhou City, ruled by war and hustle and bustle during the day, finally returned to tranquility when night fell. Although the city was brightly lit and could almost shine with the stars and moons in the sky, there were no few people on the street. Except for the soldiers guarding the city, almost everyone drank fine wine and ate large pieces of meat in the courtyards, enjoying this rare joy.
More than half a month of long journeys over mountains and ridges, and today's bloody battle have already exhausted the tens of thousands of elite Jin Kingdoms. Now that the great thing has been done, we naturally need to rest and reward them. Therefore, with the order of Aguda, all kinds of wine, meat and food in the city that were originally prepared for the Song army became the food for their celebration banquet, and all the Jin soldiers could eat this night, which was so uncomfortable.
Aguda even gathered all the generals who came with him, raised their glasses with their own hands, and respected each other one after another, smiling so hard that the corners of their mouths grinned to their ears: "Everyone, this battle is not the end, but just the beginning. After today, we will defeat the Liao army and the Song army one by one, and then kill directly to the Song Kingdom in the south, turning all the treasures, wealth, population and food there into our Great Jin Kingdom's things!
"Originally, when Wu Shu mentioned this idea, I was a little hesitant, thinking that it might not be successful. But now, I can tell everyone with certainty that this is no longer an idea, but a fact! My Dajin is destined to rise, and my Jurchen tribe will become the noblest and strongest existence in the world. What are the Khitans and Han people, they can only crawl at our feet, just like the hunting dogs we raise, watching our eyes alive!
"Come, toast to the rise of our Great Jin Kingdom and the long-lasting ceremony of our Jurchens!" At the end of his speech, he raised his wine bowl in his hand and signaled to all directions. He raised his neck and drank the wine in the bowl in one go.
The Jin generals around were already very excited by this great victory. Now after hearing the generous speech of their own emperor, they were even more excited. They all stood up with wine and shouted: "Hundreds of years of humiliation have become the past. After today, my Jurchen Jin Kingdom will surely become the most powerful existence in the world, so that everyone can become our dogs and horses, and can only follow our orders!" After the roar, they all drank the wine in the bowl, then burst into laughter, then filled the wine bowls, toasted each other, and kept drinking.
Born in the white mountains and black waters, the Jin people in the bitter and cold land were good at drinking, but they would enjoy drinking when they were fine, not to mention that they had won a big victory now. So tonight they were even more crazily drinking, and they also commented on the seized wine from time to time: "Although the wines of the Song people tasted good, they were too light, and they could not compare with the strong wines we brewed ourselves, and they would drink like water."
"Haha, don't say such big talk. Among us brothers, you have the worst alcohol content. You can't drink a few more glasses and you'll fall down."
"Nonsense, how could this kind of clear water drink make me drunk? I will drink another jar tonight, and then compete with you whose fist is harder!" As he spoke, the golden general stood up, as if he wanted to compete with his brother who was laughing at him. But when he got up, he felt dizzy, his steps became soft and messy, and his body almost fell down.
Now, he confirmed his lack of alcohol tolerance, which caused people around him to burst into laughter. Even Aguda, who was at the top, burst into laughter: "It seems that you can't drink. In the future, I'll prepare more women for you."
As others burst into laughter, they also drank a lot of wine. Wu Shu, who felt a little dizzy in his head, felt something was wrong: "Why am I so bad today? No matter how strong the wine is on weekdays, it will not make me feel uncomfortable so quickly. Although the wine tastes good today, it is not strong enough after all, so why is the momentum so great? Could it be..."
This terrible thought suddenly arose from his heart, and then looked to the side, Wu Shu's heart suddenly sank. Although everyone in the hall was still excited, their eyes and expressions were already a little drowsy, and they were obviously about to fall down soon.
"There is a problem with this wine! How could this happen? Why did the Song people twitch their own drinks? Or did they expect that there would be this day early, so they prepared so much wine for us early?" The uneasiness in their hearts became stronger and stronger, but their whole mind became heavier and he wanted to dissuade others from drinking more, but they could no longer say anything.
Finally, Wanyan Wushu, like everyone else, fell on the desk after a dizziness and fell into a coma. Since then, more people in the hall have fallen down one after another, even Aguda, and fell asleep.
At the same time, at the head of the north gate of Zhuozhou, the soldiers who were left here kept looking at the brightly lit and jubilant place in the city with envy, wishing they could participate in it themselves, instead of guarding the city like now and doing nothing.
This made the soldiers completely absent-minded, and they didn't even pay attention to whether there was any movement under the city. Naturally, it was impossible to find that there were a large number of people constantly approaching Zhuozhou in the darkness in the distance.
This is a Song army, and it was Sun Tu who led it. At this time, there was a strange light flashing in his eyes. He kept checking the situation of Zhuozhou City more than ten miles away with his telescope. At the same time, he reached out to feel the movement of the wind tonight, and muttered: "It's really God helping me. I didn't expect that the north wind that was rare in summer would blow tonight. In this way, all the conditions were ripe, and all the Jin people were wiped out!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly turned around: "Where is the scout camp? Are all the things ready?"
Someone in the army that had stopped quickly replied in a low voice: "General, everything is ready, just waiting for your order."
"Then let's light the fire and take off!" Sun Tu gave a decisive order, and at the same time said to Dong Ping next to him: "You will command the army to siege the city from all sides later. If the Jin people are not caught and escape from the city when the fire breaks out, you will rely on you to encircle the army. Be sure to achieve his contribution in this battle. You can't let the Jin people escape!"
"General, where are you?" Dong Ping said in surprise.
"Of course I want to act with the scout camp. How can I not lose this kind of killing the enemy? "Sun Tu said, without waiting for his subordinates to dissuade him, he had already reached the rear without waiting for his subordinates to dissuade him. He walked in front of strange huge bamboo baskets. With just one step, the person had already stepped into it.
After seeing Sun Tu, who was the chief general, lead the way into the bamboo basket, the personal soldiers and soldiers from the scout camp next to him no longer retreated or worried, and all followed him into the bamboo basket. Then, as the ignition lights lit up, waves of mechanical roars that should not belong to this era sounded in this night.
As the sound continued to expand, the thing hidden in the darkness next to the bamboo basket began to reveal its shape - at first, it seemed to be cloth pieces, but slowly, it bulged up again, like a pig's urine bubble, getting bigger and bigger, and finally it bloomed like huge mushrooms about twenty miles away from Zhuozhou City. Then suddenly, these "mushrooms" slowly floated upwards.
All the soldiers of the Song army stared at this strange scene with awe. Although they had seen such strange objects several times before, they still felt awe of them, just because this thing would make changes that everyone would not believe in next.
Just as a depressing cry, accompanied by the "mushroom grinding" soaring into the sky, the bamboo baskets containing more than ten people below actually floated up swayingly, starting to rise towards the sky one after another, and finally getting higher and higher. Except for that little bit of fire, everything has merged with the night sky.
These strange things that could carry more than a dozen Song army soldiers into the air and head towards Zhuozhou at a speed not too fast were the large number of hot air balloons that Sun Tu found in the warehouse system!
Even if the hot air balloon is not a rare thing in later generations, some large enterprises and shopping malls will put some in the air when they want to celebrate, or carry people, or pull out horizontal bars to make a wide-ranging effect. However, when this thing spans thousands of years of time and space, when it appeared in the Song Dynasty, its role was infinitely magnified and became the biggest trump card in Sun Tu's hand.
At this moment, Sun Tu, who was standing in the bamboo basket, had calmed his face, his eyes were already straight towards Zhuozhou City in front, and he kept issuing orders: "Go to the right to borrow this wind. Yes, you can turn the fire down so that the hot air balloon can float towards the city ahead according to our intentions. Remember, after you get above the city, don't hurry to do it. We have to stop ourselves at an appropriate height before setting off the fire, so that the Jin army guarding the city can be shot down with a bow and arrow."
The soldiers beside them were not as calm as him. Although they kept agreeing, their hands seemed quite tense and stiff. Even though they had tried to fly many times before, the experience of flying in the sky like a bird still made them feel very unreal, as if they were worried that they might fall from the sky at any time.
Fortunately, they had enough trust in Sun Tu, and they were all the most elite scout camp soldiers in the Shandong army. So even in the air, they did not completely lose their minds. They kept following Sun Tu's instructions and controlled the hot air balloon to slowly float forward.
As he approached Zhuozhou, Sun Tu's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he muttered: "Winning and defeat are here, and the key to this battle is whether my surprise soldier can burn Zhuozhou with fire and burn the Jin troops in this city! Wanyan Wushu, even if you are smart in calculating, you will never have thought that your so-called trick will be used by me. In the end, you will still be hit by my plan to lure the enemy deeper and trap death in this Zhuozhou city! In just half an hour, victory will belong to me!"
It turned out that all the countermeasures of the Jin army were as expected by Sun Tu, so the incident of Lu Longsai was caused by the scene where Sun Tu led the main force of the Shandong army to attack Zhuozhou at night tonight.
