Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 539 The enemy's fire attack begins

The Dongjie Kingdom originally had only a few hundred thousand people, but now their population has increased several times, and the territory of the country is also expanding. They believe that in the near future, they can unify this foreign land. Until they occupy all the countries and become the overlord who unifies the eight directions.

Their king has such great talent and ambition, he will definitely become an emperor. Jin Baochang has great admiration for his master and is willing to sacrifice his life for his great cause. He will not return until he wins this time. The military order has been signed and he is determined to complete the mission until his death.

Those counselors were thinking of countermeasures while holding their wine glasses. The general did not keep them for nothing. It takes a thousand days to raise an army and only a moment to use it. They must come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy, otherwise it would be useless to keep them.

In the next few days, they came up with many countermeasures, but after everyone's deduction, they were overturned one by one. They could only continue to think of new ways. The atmosphere in the big tent was very tense every day. No one spoke, and they racked their brains to think.

On this day, a counselor saw a horse's tail being set on fire and was so scared that he ran away desperately. He suddenly had an idea to use horses to attack with fire, so that their soldiers' casualties could be minimized. They could use some old horses, carry burning firewood on their backs, and rush into the army of Ansheng State, which would definitely mess up their formation.

Their soldiers took the opportunity to attack, both sides can adopt this method. However, on the city gate side, they need to lure out the soldiers of Ansheng country, and this requires a way to think of.

He proposed his own method, which was recognized by everyone. This method was quite good. It was a tit-for-tat approach, letting the soldiers of Ansheng country also taste the pain of being burned.

Now they were concentrating on how to attack the city and get people out, otherwise the city gate would still be difficult to attack. When their soldiers arrived at the city, they would still be bombed and burned.

Wang An knew them too well and rarely took the initiative to attack. The best countermeasure was to defend the city gate. The high city wall helped them block countless attacks and guard the gate of Ansheng Kingdom.

If Su He knew what they were thinking, he would be very pleased. This was the era of cold weapons. If it were the era of hot weapons, even the Great Wall would not be able to stop the enemy, let alone a city wall.

This is why she is unwilling to give out the formula for explosives. If it falls into the hands of war criminals, all countries will be in turmoil. The world will be in a world war, and she will be the culprit.

In the next few days, they made preparations and thought about countermeasures for the siege. In the end, they didn't come up with a solution because their advisers knew Wang An well. They knew that this man was very cautious and would never attack rashly.

In the end, they could only hope that the fighting there would be fierce and Wang An would be forced to attack. In this way, they could take the opportunity to attack the city gate and eventually occupy Fenggou City.

On this day, just after dawn, the Dongjie Army set out and marched towards Fenggu City. When the Ansheng Kingdom scout saw this, he quickly sent someone to send a message back to the city and the garrison outside the city.

The sentinels in the city saw the news and reported it to General Wang An. He ordered the soldiers stationed in the city to gather urgently to support, and the gate at the south gate was opened wide. The armies of both sides quickly arrived and the battle was imminent.

A part of the Dongjie Army stopped one hundred meters away from the Ansheng Kingdom's defenders. The main army also stopped advancing, still one mile away. The north gate of Fenggu City was their final goal.

The Dongjie army looked at the Ansheng Kingdom's formation and assembled the old horses they had prepared in advance at the front. Dry firewood was tied to the horses' backs, and many soldiers lit the fire together and whipped the horses' buttocks with whips to make them rush into the enemy camp.

The crazy horses rushed onto the shields with burning firewood. The soldiers behind them could not withstand the impact of the crazy horses and fell down directly, being trampled by the horses. Although the soldiers following closely behind were shooting at the horses, many were still trampled.

This was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was the Dongjie Army soldiers who followed closely. They rode on horses, wielded swords, and rushed straight over. They broke into the battle formation and killed and wounded countless soldiers at the front.
