Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 288: The Poison Smoke Plan! (Thanks to Moment Actually Not Taking Away Everything for the two monthly tickets support~)
After hearing what Guo Jia said, Sun Ce was slightly stunned, and suddenly understood what he meant. He asked back in surprise but uncertainty:
"Sir, are you willing to meet my master?"

Guo Jia deliberately acted uninterested:
"It's just a favor to the general!"

Looking at Guo Jia's arrogant look, Sun Ce clasped his fists excitedly:

"Thank you very much, sir! Lord Chu will be very surprised to see you!

"But I don't know about the tung oil..."

Guo Jia pressed his hand:

“I have already asked the villagers to prepare tung oil in advance.

“But I think you came all the way from Yangdi, so you probably didn’t bring much money.

"After we capture Xinzheng City, send us the money to buy the tung oil."

Hearing that the other party had even thought of these details, Sun Ce admired the handsome man in front of him even more:
"Sir is truly a god!"

Guo Jia picked up the wine gourd at his waist, took a sip, and waved his hand modestly:
“There are always people who are better than you!

"Even the ancient immortals disappeared with the passage of time, let alone an ordinary human like me?"

Sun Ce did not flatter him too much, but just asked the other party if he was willing to go to the camp with him.

Guo Jia said with longing eyes:
"It is a great honor to be able to serve the general!"

Sun Ce was overjoyed and immediately ordered his men to move the tung oil. He then took Guo Jia to an empty corner to chat.

Guo Jia said to Sun Ce:
“The tung oil plan is brilliant, but even I could have guessed it.

"Jia Xu's talent is not inferior to mine. I'm afraid he can guess it and has already come up with a plan to deal with it."

Sun Ce's expression changed slightly:

"If that's the case, then this plan won't work, right?"

Facing Sun Ce's question, Guo Jia smiled calmly:
"Not really. The only solution Jia Xu could have was to put out the fire with water or some tools.

“The general could first weave straw into a ball, embed a heavy stone inside, and then pour tung oil on the outside.

"After lighting it and projecting it onto the enemy's towers, it will create billowing smoke that will obscure the enemy's vision and choke their eyes and noses!
"Then they would throw tung oil sealed in jars onto the towers and ignite them with rockets.

“Even if the enemy can put out the fire, they cannot put out the smoke.

"Under the double attack of fireworks, the enemy will definitely not be able to hold on!

“By then, Jia Xu will most likely lead the remaining troops to flee eastward to Yuanling County.

"General, you can order a general to lead 2,000 men to ambush on the Huangshui Road. They will definitely be able to intercept the remaining troops!"

After listening to Guo Jia's extremely detailed strategy, Sun Ce immediately turned his worry into joy and held Guo Jia's hand tightly:
"Sir, you are both ambitious and meticulous, even better than my brother Zhou Gongjin!"

When Guo Jia heard Sun Ce mention Zhou Yu, he smiled and shook his head:
"Gongjin is also someone I admire. He is good at commanding troops and seeing the overall situation, while I am slightly better at details.

“Each has its own merits, there is no high or low.

"After this battle is over, I hope the general can introduce me to one or two people."

Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately agreed:
"If Gongjin knew that you had joined, he would be so happy that he would not be able to sleep!"

After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.

Soon, thousands of kilograms of tung oil were loaded onto the carriage.

Before leaving, Guo Jia bowed and said goodbye to everyone in the village:

“Thank you fellow villagers for your care during this time.

"The money for the tung oil will be delivered on time, please rest assured."

The villagers were quite reluctant to part with this village teacher.

But they also knew that this man was a rare talent and was going to do great things.

It is impossible for them to stay dormant in their small village forever.

So I could only wave goodbye and watch him disappear into the dark distance along with Sun Ce's army...

When Sun Ce led his army back to the camp, it was already late at night.

Guo Jia looked at the heavily guarded camp and secretly praised it. As expected, what kind of general you have, what kind of soldiers you have!

In fact, he had heard of the name of Little Overlord Sun Ce a long time ago.

Now, the opponent has been fighting under Lu Bu for a long time and is no longer the reckless young man he used to be.

The army he commanded was well-organized, and the soldiers were all energetic, sharp-eyed, and extraordinary.

With such a general commanding such soldiers, it will undoubtedly be easier to win the battle!

Sun Ce arranged the best tent for Guo Jia to stay alone.

At the same time, he ordered Huang Shao, who was also a former member of the Yellow Turbans, to lead soldiers to guard the area around the camp.

Although Huang Shao was dissatisfied.

However, after seeing Sun Ce's attitude towards He Yi before, he began to respect Sun Ce very much.

Although he didn't understand what abilities this pale-faced scholar had, he still obediently followed Sun Ce's orders.

Afterwards, Sun Ce ordered He Man, a former Yellow Turban general who was from the same village as He Yi, to lead two thousand soldiers to ambush at the Huangshui Road that Guo Jia mentioned.

After arranging everything, Sun Ce took a short rest for a few hours.

Early the next morning, Sun Ce ordered his men to prepare nearly a hundred grass balls that had been made overnight.

He then led the remaining 8,000 troops and two thunder chariots straight towards Xinzheng City.

Only a few hundred people were left to guard the village.

If their tung oil plan works, they will have a chance to capture the city today!
At this moment, on the south city wall of Xinzheng City.

Jia Xu looked at the two reinforced catapults pushed by the enemy army. Naturally, he had heard of their names before.

It’s a pity that I never had the chance to get one to study its improvement principles.

Without giving it much thought, Jia Xu turned around and glanced at the hundreds of buckets filled with water and the many wet cloths behind him.

Last night, the enemy army quietly led their troops out of the camp, but in fact they had already been discovered by the scouts he had sent out.

Based on the direction the enemy was advancing, Jia Xu immediately deduced that they were planning to go to Tongcun to obtain tung oil.

Knowing that they wanted to use tung oil to attack the city, he, who was always ruthless, could also guess what siege tactics the enemy would use.

He immediately ordered people to prepare these fire-fighting tools so that the fire could be extinguished as soon as the enemy threw tung oil and rockets!
In this way, the enemy's strategy will naturally not work.

Just when Jia Xu thought he had secured victory, something unexpected happened!

I saw that the enemy did not throw the cans filled with tung oil as I had imagined.

Instead, he put a few huge grass balls into the mouth of the big wooden spoon of the Thunderbolt Car!

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, he suddenly thought of something and his face changed instantly!
He quickly shouted to his men:

"Quick! Cut these wet cloths and give one to each soldier!"

However, before he finished his words, Sun Ce's soldiers beside the Thunderbolt Chariot had already used torches to light the grass ball in the big spoon!
boom--

The grass ball that had been poured with tung oil instantly burst into flames over one meter high, and then slowly descended.

Release the warmth and heat in this slightly chilly early spring!
"put!!"

Following Sun Ce's order, the soldiers immediately pulled the mechanism.

Only two thunderous sounds were heard!

The several flaming grass balls in the two spoons, like meteors, dragged gorgeous flame tails and flew straight to the city wall where Jia Xu was!

Although the power was not as great as that of ordinary catapults, Jia Xu and the soldiers on the city wall instinctively hid behind the city wall.

Bang bang bang!
After the grass ball hit the city wall, it continued to glow and heat, and began to emit thick smoke with yellow and green!

When Jia Xu saw this, he hurriedly snatched a wet cloth from the soldier and covered his mouth and nose.

Based on his understanding of poison, if one inhales too much of this thick smoke, not only will one choke to death, but one may also be poisoned to death!
He never imagined that the enemy would not use fire at the beginning, but this despicable smoke trap!
