Waiting for an east wind to help them defeat the enemy?

A group of people looked at each other, not very understanding.

In order to keep it a secret, Zhao Ce did not tell them everything when he took them to do something.

Instead, he went out with a lot of specious words just to confuse the enemies who might be hiding in the city.

Now looking at his mysterious look, everyone looked at each other blankly, and then started to look forward to it again.

After all, the man in front of me once led fifty regular troops and a dozen scholars to capture the God of War of more than five hundred people!

Everyone followed Zhao Ce patiently, waiting for him to give orders.

The pyres they had set up outside the city these past few nights had all been lit.

After lighting it, according to Zhao Ce's instructions, he took dew-stained dead branches and covered them directly on the woodpile to let out more smoke.

Not long after, white smoke floated from everywhere, and even where they were, they could smell a faint smell.

The sun slowly rises, and a breeze blows from time to time.

The floating white smoke slowly changes direction with the wind.

After waiting for a while, the wind seemed to be stronger, and the white smoke was blowing everywhere.

Thin white smoke began to drift from the entire official road, including the surrounding woods.

Zhao Ce said to the person behind him: "Be careful and follow me."

Everyone raised their voices and carefully followed Zhao Ce, moving in one direction.

...

Tang Dahan and his party were ready to go.

The horsemen behind them were either pushing heavy equipment or holding weapons, heading towards the city gate.

Suddenly, a cool wind blew by, and a horseman riding a horse next to Tang Dahan said: "Commander, with such good weather, even the sky is helping us."

Tang Dahuan, who was also riding on the horse, laughed loudly and said: "Well said!"

"It hasn't rained for a long time. After we attack the city, it won't be long before typhoons and heavy rains are coming."

"Reinforcements coming from behind the provincial capital are not allowed to approach this city within the next two months!"

"By then, the entire city of Gaozhou will be in our hands!"

Typhoons and heavy rains come almost every year in autumn.

It's just a matter of wind strength.

And whenever the wind blows, it will rain heavily.

When the river water rises, reinforcements from other places will not be able to move if they want to come.

In another two months, his power here will have stabilized and he will be able to attract many new people to join them.

In this way, he will have the confidence to compete with the imperial court.

The more Tang Dahan thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and he shouted to the people behind him: "Brothers, walk faster!"

A group of people marched forward singing vigorously, facing the cool morning breeze, and walked a long way in a good mood.

Suddenly, a person in the team shouted: "Huh? What does it smell like?"

A person next to me with a sensitive nose also smelled it: "Flower scent? It's a bit light, but maybe someone is burning weeds?"

Tang Dahuan, who was walking in front, also smelled the smell. He took a few deep breaths and said, "Isn't it just the ordinary firewood smell?"

He didn't take it seriously and led everyone onward.

After walking for a while, the white smoke in front was already very thick, and it was blown from both sides of the road.

The breeze picked up again, and the white smoke floating everywhere seemed to be all-pervasive, surrounding the entire large army.

Tang Dahuan waved his hand and fanned the white smoke away.

To show caution, he quickly stopped the team and called up the military advisor who was in the team.

"Military advisor, is there something strange about this smoke? Should we attack the city another day?"

The military advisor took a few deep sniffs and confirmed that it was just the smell of ordinary firewood.

Moreover, the smoke is white, and it is not poisonous smoke at first glance.

He then said: "Commander, how can I turn my bow back?"

"We, our large army, are halfway through, and if we turn back before we can fight, wouldn't we make our brothers laugh?"

Tang Dahan nodded and said, "That's right."

The military advisor looked at him with relief: "These defenders probably sent people out to set fire to block our way forward."

"However, it was so early in the morning and the dew was so heavy that their firewood couldn't be lit. That's why there was so much white smoke."

"Besides, at the end of the official road, there are no trees anymore."

"With such a huge distance, even if the fire burns, it won't be able to burn us."

"And the fire will also cut off their reinforcements, preventing their people from arriving immediately."

"We set out to fight today, but we are bound to win. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Tang Dahuan agreed and said: "What the military advisor said makes sense."

"Presumably this group of people collected firewood in the city just for today's plan."

"But I didn't expect that God is not good at this. The fog is too thick today, and their plot is destined to fail!"

The military advisor shook the feather fan in his hand and said with an idea: "If the commander is really worried, then we will have people cut down trees along the road."

"As long as we keep a good fire break, even if they successfully ignite a fire, we won't be afraid!"

Tang Dahuan gave a thumbs up and said: "As expected of a scholar, you still have a way."

The military advisor has been commanding all morning today, and he himself is extremely excited.

He shook his sleeves, then pointed at the road ahead with the feather fan in his hand, filled with white smoke.

"Commander, find someone to explore the road ahead, and then we can rush over in one go!"

Tang Dahuan immediately agreed and sent a small group of people on horseback to go to the front to confirm safety.

When he learned that there was only a small spark on the roadside ahead, Tang Dahuan laughed loudly and said: "The military advisor has a clever plan, we will definitely win today!"

After that, lead the team and continue moving forward.

A group of people continued to march towards the city gate, facing the white smoke floating in all directions.

Just walking, someone in the team suddenly said: "Do you feel a little dizzy?"

"Dizziness? Don't tell me yet. I felt a little bit dizzy just now, but I wasn't too dizzy, so I didn't say anything."

"Hey, you two, are you hungry? Wouldn't it be nice to eat some dry food and drink some water?"

"Hey, I seem a little dizzy and sleepy too."

"..."

Conversations like this occur from time to time in the army.

Tang Dahan, who was walking in front, also opened his mouth and yawned.

He wiped the tears from his eyes as he yawned, and said, "Why do I feel a little sleepy?"

The eyes of Ma Zai next to him were a little blurry. He said in a daze: "I, I also feel..."

Tang Dahuan took another breath of white smoke in the air, and suddenly woke up from a dream and said: "There is something wrong with this smoke, please stop it!"

He roared loudly, and the originally sleepy team suddenly became excited.

Some unsuspecting people behind them bumped into someone else's back, then smacked their lips and stared blankly ahead.

The surrounding white smoke was already very light, and the pathfinder in front shouted: "Commander, we are reaching the place ahead, there is no smoke!"

Tang Dahuan thought for a while and said: "Speed ​​up your pace and pass through here!"

He said "drive", rode the horse on his crotch, and ran forward quickly.
