This warning made the civilians nearby become nervous before Chen Ze could even respond.

Is this the time to attack?

I haven't even taken a breath from the fierce battle just now, but is there going to be a second one soon?

There are a total of five thousand people on the other side!

Just because we are unarmed... Oh, we do have weapons, but does that matter?

Facing elite soldiers with poisonous training, and the opponent still has an absolute advantage in numbers, what else do civilians like them deserve besides being massacred?

Even though Chen Ze was also with them, even though Chen Ze was patting his chest just now to assure himself, most of the civilians were still trembling with fear when they heard that the enemy troops were approaching.

He didn't turn around and ran away, it was just that he was shaking too much and couldn't run anymore.

"Sir... Sir, how about we..."

He was still the courageous civilian from before. He swallowed hard and persuaded with difficulty: "Shall we retreat first?"

"I told you, none of you will die!"

Chen Ze glanced at them coldly and sighed in his heart. After all, they were just civilians. If this person's remarks were said from the mouth of a soldier, it would be a big taboo and would be used by the commander for disturbing the morale of the army.

, chopped with a sword.

If it had been another general, such as He Xuan, he would have taken action.

But if they really did this, given the low morale of these civilians, they would probably collapse on the spot, and then they would do something drastic. It's hard to say.

Now is the time to employ people. For the sake of military morale, Chen Ze, after giving a sharp scolding, took the lead, along with Li Quan'an and Xu Qing, and set an example for everyone.

The civilians hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to disobey the military order too much, so they had no choice but to follow suit.

As a result, Chen Ze did not go directly to the other side of the hill. Instead, he stopped halfway and turned back to wait for them quietly.

Seeing that there is nothing you can do, do you want to give up?

The civilians were overjoyed and rushed to Chen Ze's side, waiting for him to give the order to retreat.

However, Chen Ze pointed to the dozens of carriages on the scene: "Light them!"

He Xuan's troops escorted the grain and grass to Bo'an City and then returned. These dozens of carriages contained the grain and grass needed by the troops returning to the city.

Everyone was startled when they heard this and looked at Chen Ze with some confusion.

"Don't you understand yet?"

Xu Qing had endured it for a long time, and finally said impatiently: "Don't you understand? I said I won't let you die, but I never thought of letting you go to the battlefield!"

"All you have to do is set these carriages and horses on fire, and then rush down the hill, that's all!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"Wonderful!"

Someone shouted with relief: "Those people are attacking from the bottom of the mountain. Let's use the ignited carriage as a fire attack and collision. It would be weird if we don't smash them until they are knocked upside down!"

"What a brilliant move, sir!"

"Well, that's it!"

All the civilians who came back to their senses all looked excited, and they became even more excited when they thought of those hateful Zhu Yan soldiers who were wailing when they were hit by the flaming chariot!

Of course, the most exciting thing is that I really don't have to go to the battlefield anymore, I just need to light a fire and drive the carriage.

What's wrong with this?

Chen Ze smiled slightly and said loudly: "Don't delay too long, let's get down to business first."

When the scout came to report just now, Chen Ze learned that the opponent had already attacked halfway up the mountain. He estimated that it would only take two sticks of incense to get up. Once he was rushed to the top of the mountain, the opponent would have the strength due to the large number of people and the composition of the troops.

It is a combination of swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen with hooks and sickles. It is not difficult to form a formation to defend against the collision of dozens of carriages.

There will be a certain amount of damage, but it will never be too great. It will still have the strength to massacre these civilians.

The fire attack strategy was something Chen Ze had thought up a long time ago, but it was only suitable for use at this time. Just now, the large army led by Ruan Wenshan semi-surrounded the mountain in a crescent moon formation.

There are only a few dozen vehicles, which is not enough to cause a devastating blow to it.

Therefore, Chen Zecai has been holding back and not using this trump card.

But the enemy forces here are different.

The sound of phoenixes and arrows just now was not only heard by Ruan Wenshan, but Chen Ze could also hear it. Although he didn't understand the meaning, he only needed to think about it for a moment and knew that it must be a signal to Ruan Wenshan. In addition to informing the cavalry,

In addition to the movement, he also explained to him his intention to attack the hill from the other side.

What they wanted was to attack the mountain quickly, not to annihilate them without losing a single Qingyang soldier like Ruan Wenshan did before, so of course they would not adopt the same formation.

Furthermore, even if it were to be staged, the number of people would be much smaller after all, and the formation would not be heavy, so the effect would naturally be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the opponent's formation is naturally densely positioned, so these dozens of carriages can be used to their maximum effect.

Xu Qing was left here to direct the civilians to pour oil on the carriages filled with grain and grass. Chen Ze, Li Quan'an and the scout who came to report the news rushed to the edge of the hill first.

"grown ups!"

The few scouts who stayed behind couldn't help but be confused when they saw only three people coming back. Chen Ze didn't have time to explain to them, so he just asked: "Where are the people? Where have they gone?"

Someone quickly pointed down the mountain to Chen Ze. There were many bushes growing on the hills here that were no higher than a person's neck. As long as he lowered his body, he could sneak among them without being easily noticed.

But Chen Ze still saw Zhu Yan's soldier who had walked halfway up the mountain at a glance.

The troops here were heavily armed and advancing. When you looked up, you could see that there weren't many people on the top of the mountain. In the rush, they didn't bother to hide their bodies. There were more than 5,000 people, basically in a rush march mode, walking while walking.

Cutting through the bushes, if it weren't for this obstacle, we would have reached the top.

After carefully observing the opponent's formation, it turned out that it was an intensive push as he expected. Chen Ze felt a little calmer and even made some calculations about the opponent's route in his mind.

Then he nodded and said to the scouts: "You continue to monitor them. If their formation changes, you must notify me as soon as possible!"

Without waiting for anyone to respond, he left Li Quanan here and rushed back quickly, leaving only a few scouts, Monk Zhanger, confused.

Over there, there were close to 2,000 civilians, so it was easier to get things done with a large number of people. Within a moment, the dozens of carriages were soaked with kerosene.

Poor horses don't know what kind of nightmare they will face, they just keep their heads down and eat the tender grass on the ground.

Based on the memory in his mind, Chen Ze commanded the people to arrange the carriages and divide them into several columns. He silently calculated the time, then suddenly raised his head and said with a sharp expression: "Okay, let us give them a big gift!

"

"ignition!"

After giving the order, the civilians who had been prepared threw the fire sticks at the carriage one after another.
