I'm a marquis in Datang

In particular, this is not in a certain area, but the circle around Yushan, which is full of standing flames.The fire spread rapidly, and within a short period of time, even these trees were on fire.

Thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.

The army under Du Qi's command had already retreated, temporarily retreated to the foot of the mountain, and never moved forward.However, the news of burning in the mountains was discovered by Li Shimin's spies in a short period of time, and then the spies retreated in panic and went to the cottage in the mountains.

Because the cottage is located in the depths of Yushan Mountain, when the sentry came to Wei Shuyu's side and reported to Wei Shuyu, Wei Shuyu couldn't help but change his face, which Wei Shuyu himself never considered.

Unexpectedly, Du Qi was so ruthless that he set fire to the mountain.Once the entire Jade Mountain starts to burn, Li Shimin's army will have nowhere to go but go outside the mountain.

As long as you go out, you will be blocked by Du Qi.

The consequences could be disastrous.

Wei Shuyu hurriedly came to the room, there are Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian and others in the room now, as soon as Wei Shuyu entered, he reported: "Your Majesty, the situation is not good."

Pairs of eyes fell on Wei Shuyu together.

Li Shimin also said: "What happened?"

Wei Shuyu said: "Du Qi's army never invaded the mountain. The strategy he is adopting now is to burn the forest. Now the entire periphery of Yushan is already on fire. The fire is spreading rapidly."

Li Shimin's expression also changed suddenly.

Fire attack!

Du Qi is so vicious!

Once the fire spreads, Li Shimin's tens of thousands of troops will be in trouble immediately.

Li Shimin said: "Now that Du Qi has set fire to the forest, what do you think we should do? Originally, we set up many traps in the forest. In some places, gunpowder was even arranged to kill Xia who entered the forest. National Army. But the fire spread,

The successive explosions of the gunpowder will also cause the fire in the mountain to intensify.The current situation is very bad! "

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Break out, I suggest you break out immediately. For the current plan, you can't stay in the mountains. If you stay in the mountains, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"inappropriate!"

Wei Shuyu directly shook his head in denial.

He faced Wei Zheng, although he was facing his father, he was male to male, so he said solemnly: "Wei Xiang, outside Yushan City, there are soldiers and horses of Xia Kingdom everywhere. And the soldiers and horses of Xia Kingdom As many as more than [-], and there must even be cannons. Once we break out of the encirclement, we will inevitably be bombed. Moreover, there will be fire barriers, which is extremely unfavorable to us. Breaking out, that is, exacerbating death, is not appropriate. "

Wei Zheng snorted, but didn't say much.

Being denied by his own son made him lose face, but he also had to admit that his son's analysis made sense.Because breaking through at the moment is going out to die.

Fang Xuanling doesn't have any anxious look on his face now, because at the moment, anyway, he won't evacuate for the time being.Fang Xuanling thought in his heart

Fan said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed difficult now. If you want to break out, you will definitely be bombarded and it will be very troublesome. So at the moment, you can only stay in the mountains. And staying in the mountains is also quite difficult."

"Once the fire spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable. In order to prevent the spread of the wildfire, the only way is to immediately cut down the trees in this area of ​​our military camp and clear away all the trees and weeds."

Fang Xuanling said: "In this way, even if the surrounding forests are burning, it is impossible to spread to our place. However, this method is only a temporary solution, not a root cause, and cannot achieve a radical cure."

Li Shimin made a decision: "No matter what, it must be done. Only in this way can we continue to fight to the death with Du Qi. In short, let's stick to it first."

Fang Xuanling said: "I will arrange it immediately."

Li Shimin said: "Go!"

After Fang Xuanling left, Li Shimin gave some orders, and Wei Shuyu and Fang Xuanling left with him. After all, it is not a simple matter to resist Xia Guo at the moment.

Chapter 1344 It's Raining

It's raining

crackle crackle!

The fire burned quickly.

The fire in the entire mountain has already formed a monstrous sea of ​​fire, and the fire is so fierce that it is already unstoppable.Even under such a ferocious momentum, a raging heat was formed. Du Qi's soldiers at the foot of the mountain all moved away a little bit and did not dare to approach. After all, the heat wave was so hot that when they approached a little, the heat was too strong, and it made people burn all over their bodies. hot.

Du Qi is now hiding from the sun under a big tree. He looked at the sea of ​​flames that had already burned. After waiting for a long time, Tang Jun did not break out of the siege, so he had an inference in his heart.

Li Shimin really didn't break through.

To stay and fight to the death.

If Li Shimin wanted to break through, the fire wouldn't be so intense, but Li Shimin's troops hadn't taken any action from the beginning to the end.After all, although this Jade Mountain is very big, it is not the kind of primitive jungle that cannot withstand the fire.

Guan Zhilan stared at the sea of ​​flames, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, this Jade Mountain is burning, and the fire is raging. If Li Shimin's army does not break through, is it possible that they are going to stay in the mountain and wait to die?"

Du Qi smiled and said, "Guan Zhilan, do you think Li Shimin will wait to die?"

Guan Zhilan said: "Of course not."

Du Qidao: "Since that's the case, how do you think Li Shimin will deal with this burning fire?"

Shangguanyi and Ma Zhou were both stroking their beards.

There is a smile in the eyes.

Because both of them have thought it through.

Guan Zhilan is the youngest, and he is the youngest. In terms of qualifications, Guan Zhilan is inferior to Shangguanyi and Ma Zhou, but Guan Zhilan has broadened his horizons by following Du Qi, and he has never stopped studying.He stared at the burning mountain, temporarily without direction, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I understand."

Du Qidao: "Tell me about it."

Guan Zhilan said: "The simplest situation is that Li Shimin arranges people to cut down trees and weeds in the mountains, leaving a section of isolation belt out. If the fire is to burn, one tree after another needs to be continuously ignited. In order to form the momentum of starting a prairie fire. But once the number and wormwood are lost, it will be impossible to achieve this effect. So at the moment, this is the only way."

Du Qi nodded and said: "That's right, it's still quick to react, no

Into elm lumps. "

Guan Zhilan smiled foolishly.

Zhu Yuwen was waiting on the sidelines. He looked at Du Qi and reported: "Your Majesty, even if Li Shimin is cutting down trees in the mountains, he intends to isolate the fire from burning. But in fact, it is unlikely to have any real effect. Because there is a lack of water sources in the mountains. The water source of Yushan Mountain is mainly obtained from the bottom of the mountain."

"So Li Shimin's tens of thousands of troops hid in the mountains, and there has been no shortage of water sources. Now the fire is burning, cutting off the area near the river, and can no longer get water. In a short period of time, Li Shimin can support it. He can use some mountain streams in the mountains, and even in the mountains. some small ponds or something like that to fetch water."

Zhu Yuwen said: "However, tens of thousands of people have to consume countless amounts of water every day. Burying pots to make food also consumes water. It will take a few days at most

, there will be a shortage of water in the mountains.This time, Li Shimin couldn't bear it. "

Du Qi said: "With the words of County Magistrate Zhu, I am more confident. Now, we only need to stick to the foot of this mountain. It is a good way to catch the turtle in the urn."

Zhu Yuwen said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Du Qi said: "Wait."
