After Baron Wayne and Hathaway left, Xu Kuang convened a meeting with the squad and platoon leaders to discuss tactics.
Xu Kuang looked down at the crowd and spoke first:
"Although Mushroom Ridge is dangerous and can be defended, blind defense will only plunge us into a war of attrition. There are 20,000 people and nearly 5,000 various livestock in our territory. What is the concept? The food and grass consumed every day will be a The numbers are staggering, so we must fight quickly. Chen Xiaohu and Zhang Da Miao, what do you think?"
Chen Xiaohu and Zhang Damiao looked at each other, and Chen Xiaohu took the lead in stating his point of view:
"I think we can attack at night, and Captain Zhang thinks so too, but I think we should gather our strength to sneak attack one place, while Captain Zhang thinks we should mainly focus on harassment. The number of sneak attack troops does not need to be large, but the results must be substantial. At least they must be killed." The food and grass were burned."
When Xu Kuang heard this, he smiled and said to Chen Xiaohu:
"Let me tell you the conclusion first. I agree with Zhang Damiao. I know what you mean. You want to seize strategic resources as much as possible, right?"
Chen Xiaohu nodded silently.
Xu Kuang shook his head seriously and said:
"The strategic resource we lack most now is time. Our strategic goal is to buy time for the development of Mushroom Ridge. Before autumn, or even before the rainy season, Mushroom Ridge must be completely renewed. Do you understand?" .
Everyone looked solemn.
Xu Kuang continued:
"I will equip you with a flamethrower. You go and burn the grain and grass. Remember, don't leave a grain of grain for them!".
Everyone stood up and said in unison:
"clear!".
…
Baron Lane looked at Wang Xikui in front of him and asked:
"What do you lords have to tell me?".
Wang Xikui remained expressionless:
"Tomorrow night we will attack your grain and fodder team. If you have no problem, let your people move the grain and fodder from now on without being discovered.".
Baron Lane nodded and said to Wang Xikui:
"Go back and tell Xu Kuang that I will put a pile of firewood on the spot tomorrow night. You just need to light the firewood."
Wang Xikui saluted Baron Lane and turned to leave.
The next morning, all troops received flamethrowers.
This flamethrower is not a sign-in product, but is made of steel from the smelting workshop. It has many shortcomings, such as the range is only five meters, and the spray is not clean, and there will always be fire left in the nozzle. Another example is this The equipment is very heavy and would be inconvenient to move around when wearing it.
But nothing can cover up its advantages, that is, its ignition efficiency is much higher than holding a torch. After spraying, you can retreat by throwing the injector into the fire, which is extremely convenient.
All the soldiers were catching up on their sleep, and only the six chief officers responsible for the attack were having a meeting with Xu Kuang.
"The time is set. The attack will be officially launched at three o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's start checking the watches now."
Everyone has their watches set.
Xu Kuang said to this group of people:
"It doesn't matter if the main goal cannot be accomplished, just let them cause chaos!".
Everyone received the order and turned to leave.
Time flies and it's early morning. The sky tonight is quite peaceful without the disturbance of the moon, which also gives everyone in Mushroom Ridge a chance.

Zhang Damiao led the infantry platoon to the forefront. He looked into the distance and said in a low voice:
"Scout, go up and grab a tongue and bring it back.".
Three or two people disappeared into the night. They used the cover of the night to quietly reach the front line.
They cooperated perfectly, one covered his mouth and the other covered his legs, and instantly pushed the man to the ground.
The man at the back shot the sentry behind him who was about to shout loudly with one arrow.
"Walk!".
Soon, the group retreated safely.
Zhang Damiao looked at the prisoner and asked:
"I will give you a chance. If you tell me the location of the food and grass, I will let you go back. If you don't tell me, you will die here today."
As soon as Zhang Damiao finished speaking, he released his cover on the man's mouth. The man spoke at a speed that he had never spoken so fast in his life:
"The location of the food and grass is in the black tent behind the white tent, which can be reached directly from a trail. There are thirty or forty people there. The livestock are cannon fodder in the front and the main force is in the back. I told you not to kill me...".
Zhang Damiao:......
other people:……
Zhang Damiao sighed and said to this person:
"Is there such a thing as a password?".
The man shook his head.
"Is it because I don't know or I don't know?"
"No……".
Zhang Damiao nodded and said to this person:
"You have to stay here, but I can't send anyone to watch you, so I have to tie you up. If we come back, we can take you with us. Are you willing?"
"I'd like to, I've heard for a long time that the food here is good."
Zhang Damiao asked people to take him down, and then led the troops forward.
Under the cover of darkness, the group of people successfully reached the side of the military camp through the winding path.
"Class 1 and 2 will take cover. Class 3 will follow me to light the fire. Be quick!"
After giving the order, Squad Three rushed forward like crazy, carrying twelve flamethrowers on their backs.
The alert sentry spotted this group of people in an instant, but was shot down by Zhang Da Miao.
The sound quickly woke everyone up.
The squad leader took the Czech light machine gun and shouted:
"Cover! Cover!".
Groups of soldiers rushed out of the camp. They had no time to put on their armor, and some were even barefoot, so they had to go get their weapons first.
The early spring nights still have a bit of a winter night feel to them, especially today, it was extremely cold, and many people were frozen as soon as they left the camp.
The Czech light machine guns kept spitting out tongues of fire, and everyone who wanted to get close to the third squad was accurately targeted and killed by the first squad leader.
The crowd fell down like wheat. Finally, someone realized the horror of the sound and began to run back.
The third team also arrived at the designated position at this moment. Twelve flamethrowers spit out fiery snakes everywhere. They attached to the food and fodder and immediately caused a fire.
A group of people froze, being somewhat unwilling to move due to the warm flames.
One person looked at the monstrous fire, yelled, and ran away quickly. This cry seemed to cause a chain effect, everyone began to run for their lives, no one could care about food and grass.
Baron Fran put on his fancy armor at this moment, pushed the two lovers away, and walked out of the camp.
"Everyone, don't mess up! Pay attention to kill the bandits who are close to the food and grass!".
When the squad leader heard the sound, he immediately turned the muzzle of his gun, but when he turned the muzzle of the gun, the sound disappeared.
The first squad leader went on to cover the third squad.
Folan glared at the magician and shouted angrily:
"Why not use magic!".
The magician said to Folan aggrievedly:
"Have you forgotten? I am a fire magician...".
Fran:......
A deserter passed by Folan, and Folan drew his sword and chopped off the man's head.
"Anyone who escapes will be killed without mercy! There are not many people who can sneak attack, so don't mess up the formation...".
"Da da da da da da..."
Before he could say the word "foot", Folan was devoured by a string of bullets.
He was shot several times and was beaten into a sieve.
When the group of people saw that all the lords were dead and had no intention of fighting anymore, they all dispersed like birds and beasts.
When the magician saw that Fo Lan was dead, he ran away immediately.
A group of people burned until dawn before enemy reinforcements arrived and Zhang Damiao led his people to retreat.
When they returned to the col, they found a magician untying the prisoner.
Zhang Damiao laughed and said:
"Looks like someone came to my door! Tie me up!".
