Chapter 1748 The General Is Mighty!

Muchen jumped up suddenly and shouted: "Where are they? Where are the enemy troops?"

The soldier took a breath and said, "Jiuli, they somehow found out where we hide our food and grass. They are sending troops to attack us secretly and want to burn all our food and grass!"

Zhao Shu reached out and picked up the sword and said in a deep voice: "Go over and take a look."

In the evening, it snowed heavily.

The sky and the earth were gloomy.

There were shouts in the distance carried by the wind.

Zhao Shu turned over and sat on the horse, his cloak raising snow mist and shining with thousands of silver lights.

He galloped to the grain and grass, and encountered the enemy who was attacking by shooting flaming arrows at the grain and grass.

Two places were already on fire.

"Mu Chen, take people to put out the fire!"

Zhao Shu cut off an arrow with one sword and personally led his men to stop the enemy who was shooting the arrow.

"Your Highness, King Qin, are you surprised?"

From somewhere, Ji Wenyuan's voice came.

Zhao Shu said nothing, waving his sword to separate the arrows. He seemed unmoved, but his ears were trying to determine Ji Wenyuan's position.

"General, I don't know what was smeared on their arrows. The fire is difficult to extinguish."

Zhao Shu turned around and glanced around.

Already four grain depots are on fire.

Many Zhou soldiers gathered around to extinguish the fire and poured water on the fire. Not only did the fire not go out, but it tended to burn more and more intensely due to the increase in water.

The soldiers who put out the fire were unable to effectively resist, and ten people had already died under the arrows of the sneak attack.

Zhao Shu suddenly remembered what Yun Dai had said.

He made a prompt decision and shouted: "Send the order, stop using water, use snow instead. Cover the fire with snow!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately carried out his orders, using barrels, weapons, or simply their hands to pile snow onto the fire.

In Northern Qi, there is nothing else but snow everywhere.

The effect of this trick is immediate.

The fire, covered by snow, was quickly extinguished.

The soldiers cheered.

"The general is mighty!"

They worship the general to death.

Ji Wenyuan's voice came again: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin really lives up to his reputation. It's strange, I am not afraid of fire or even water, so how can I be afraid of snow? Snow is not water?"

Zhao Shu glanced around and said slowly: "Water and snow are different."

"What is the difference?"

"Water is a liquid and snow is a solid. Fire needs...oxygen to burn. Snow cuts off oxygen, so the fire goes out."

"..."

Ji Wenyuan didn't know if he was shocked by this explanation, and he didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, his voice came again: "I have never heard of liquid oxygen. Is King Qin trying to confuse the public with his lies?"

"How can a mortal like you understand."

As Zhao Shu spoke, he suddenly jumped up from his horse and stabbed a snowdrift with the long sword in his hand.

Snow mist rose all over the sky, the snowdrift suddenly exploded, and a figure shot straight into the sky.

Ji Wenyuan laughed heartily: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really powerful, he actually saw through my concealment so quickly."

Zhao Shu said coldly: "Ji Wenyuan, are you done yet? You don't dare to accept the attack on the frontal battlefield, and you make sneak attacks every now and then. Is it interesting?"

"Interesting, very interesting."

Ji Wenyuan was wrapped in a black cloak and stood in the snow with his arms folded. When he smiled, the scars on his face also laughed, "I have to admit that in a head-on confrontation, I am not your opponent. I don't want to let my My subordinates sacrificed themselves in vain. So, I won’t fight you."

"Then what are you doing now?"

"I am consuming you little by little." Ji Wenyuan said, "My people have lived in the snow since they were born, and they know the situation in the snow better than anyone else. I will burn some of your food and grass today, and tomorrow Sneak attack on a patrol. Well, let me calculate, by the time the King of Northern Qi arrives, your food and grass will be almost exhausted."
