The later it gets, the colder it gets.
When it gets the coldest, water can almost turn into ice.
There were countless torches burning in the Xiongnu camp, and the fire was bright, lighting up the camp like daylight.
The soldiers on night watch were wearing thick clothes, felt hats on their heads, and cloth scarves on their faces.
Only a pair of eyes were exposed, allowing them to look around at leisure.
It was so cold that the soldiers had to cover their cheeks to protect themselves from the cold wind.
The two soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp were close to the torch, warming themselves by the heat of the torch, chatting quietly.
"Hey, I noticed someone moving outside the camp."
Suddenly, a soldier had a strange look on his face.
He glanced outside the camp and found nothing.
"You are blinded.
How can there be any figure in the darkness?"
The soldier next to him stared at the outside of the camp with his eyes widened.
When he saw that there was nothing outside the camp, he joked.
When I listened carefully, I heard the cold wind howling, but nothing else.
The two soldiers continued talking, paying no attention to the situation outside the camp.
Ten feet away from the camp, Zhong Shu glared at the soldiers next to him fiercely and said in a low voice: "Your brat's sloppy actions almost ruined the governor's plan.
If you do it again, I will be the first to kill you.
Send the order." , please be careful, be gentle with your hands and feet, and don’t make any big noises.”
Zhong Shu ordered, and the soldiers around him nodded.
They were almost discovered just now, so everyone was more careful.
As time passed, the soldiers scattered around the Huns' camp continued to pour water on the ground, forming patches of ice.
Heavy snow fell on it, quickly covering the ice.
Within an hour, the soldiers completed their mission.
All the soldiers were panting from exhaustion and their hands and feet were a little numb, but their faces showed excitement.
Because water was poured around the Xiongnu camp, dozens of feet were surrounded by ice and snow.
When the horses rushed out, they would slip on the ice.
This made it difficult for the horses to move, which eliminated the biggest advantage of the Huns cavalry.
The Huns on horseback became unable to run.
Gan Ning glanced at the soldiers performing the mission and said, "Zhong Shu, take the soldiers to rest for a while."
Zhong Shu nodded without refuting.
He really needed to take a rest and regain some strength.
Gan Ning looked at a school captain next to him and ordered: "Liu Ba, I just told you what to do, go ahead."
"Yes, General Mo will do it now."
Liu Ba responded with clasped fists and took his thousand soldiers to carry out the mission.
These thousand soldiers were also scattered around the Xiongnu camp.
Each soldier carried a can of tung oil and a bag of gunpowder, and some soldiers held unlit torches, preparing to surround the Xiongnu camp.
This was the second step of Gan Ning's preparation. .
Liu Ba and his soldiers approached the Xiongnu camp and stopped only ten feet away from the Xiongnu camp.
This is already very close to the Huns camp, and you will be discovered if you are not careful.
Liu Ba had already risked his life in order to complete his mission.
He looked at the soldiers beside him and ordered: "Let the soldiers throw the earthen jars containing tung oil into the Huns camp, then light the gunpowder and throw it in."
The order was passed on, word of mouth, and soon spread to all the soldiers.
"drink" A low shout came, and the soldier didn't care anymore.
He stood up and threw the jar containing tung oil to the Huns camp.

The earthen jar was not big, and there was not much oil in it.
The soldiers could easily throw the oil jar into the camp.
Earthen jars flew through the air one after another, and thousands of unknown objects approached the Hun army camp, and then fell to the ground.
"Wow!"
The earthen jar was broken, and the tung oil spilled all over the floor, overflowing.
The sound of breaking earthen jars woke up the soldiers on patrol at night.
They became vigilant and looked carefully.
They found that there was only sound and no other attacks.
The soldiers at the gate of the camp were also cautious and discovered people outside the camp.
However, no soldiers fought out.
A Hun captain ran to report Qubei and reported the news.
When the tung oil spilled on the ground of the Xiongnu camp, the Shu soldiers who were ambushing outside the camp began to gather around in twos and threes to block the howling cold wind.
Then they took out the fire folder and lit the torch beside them.
The first torch was lit, and more torches were lit one after another.
In the blink of an eye, a fiery red circle of light appeared outside the Xiongnu camp, and the Shu soldiers could be clearly seen.
When the Hun cavalry in the camp saw it, they were all very surprised.
What did this mean?
The Shu army is standing outside the camp and wants to attack it?
Qubei walked out of the camp and looked at the Shu soldiers holding torches and the busy soldiers outside the camp with a contemptuous smile on his face.
There aren't many Shu troops around the camp, so I don't have to worry about going to Bei.
He strode to the place where the earthen jar fell in the camp, reached out and touched the greasy tung oil, put it to his nose and smelled it, frowning.
At this time, the Shu soldiers used torches to ignite the gunpowder.
"You son of a bitch Huns, go to hell" With a loud roar, the first ignited gunpowder flew across the night sky.
Immediately afterwards, packages of gunpowder flew up around the camp, and dense gunpowder streaked through the air.
The fuse is burning and the fire snakes are flying, which looks extremely gorgeous.
When the gunpowder hit the ground, it exploded, sparks flew everywhere, and the tung oil quickly burned.
With the howling cold wind, the fire did not go out, but instead burned more and more fiercely.
"Rumble" Continuous explosions sounded, and the surrounding areas of the camp were affected by gunpowder.
A fire broke out around the camp and quickly spread to the center of the camp.
At this moment, the tung oil that had been poured on the ground exploded with the most powerful power.
Under the howling of the cold wind, the fires of tung oil and gas were like flaming snakes scurrying around, constantly igniting the tents in the camp.
Qubei was affected by the gunpowder, his cheeks were black, and he was in a miserable state.
He looked at the fire burning in the camp and shouted: "Quick, let all the soldiers mount their horses and charge out on horseback."
Qubei didn't care about retaliating against the Shu army, he just wanted to fight out as soon as possible and get rid of the fire.
Liu Ba looked at the Xiongnu camp that turned into a sea of fire, and felt extremely happy.
He yelled: "Withdraw" Immediately, a thousand soldiers of the Shu army who were on the mission moved carefully on the ice and returned to the army.
When Gan Ning saw Liu Ba coming back, he patted Liu Ba on the shoulder and praised: "You are so good, boy.
A fire and gunpowder explosion are enough to cause countless losses to the Hun cavalry, especially the horses of the Hun soldiers were frightened.
Not easy to control.
Liu Ba smiled and said: "The governor has a clever plan, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with the Huns."
Zhong Shu immediately said: "Grand Governor, the Huns are in chaos.
Let the archers prepare."
Gan Ning nodded and said: "Well, let the soldiers prepare immediately.
This time we don't need rocket attacks, just use bows and arrows.
Whether they are Hun soldiers or Hun horses, I will shoot them all."

Gan Ning felt very happy as he listened to the roars coming from the Xiongnu camp.
If he didn't act according to Li Ru's plan, he would still win.
Not to mention anything else, just one burning fire was enough to cause Qubei to lose 30% of his combat effectiveness.
At this moment, Qubei also felt a headache and felt a little regretful.
If he had followed the general's advice and led his army back to the camp during the day, he would not have been attacked by the Shu army.
But no matter how much I regret it, it won't help.
He quickly asked his guards to bring the horses, and then asked his cavalry to assemble and prepare for battle.
However, the explosion of gunpowder frightened the horses, and only more than 7,000 soldiers were gathered.
The remaining more than 3,000 soldiers were still calming the war horses, or controlling the rioting war horses.
I couldn't wait until all the soldiers gathered in Qubei, because the camp had become a sea of fire.
As long as they break out of the camp, they can definitely reverse the situation and defeat the Shu army
