"How is the preparation for the siege going?"
"Our siege unit is arriving soon!"
"Good, once our siege unit arrives, we will immediately prepare to attack Yanmen. Even with their twenty to thirty thousand troops, they can only withstand our army's attack twice!"
Their failure in the first attempt was simply because they were not prepared, leading to an unfavorable start.
But now, they were fully prepared and no longer feared Qin's firebombs.
Therefore, they were confident they could capture Qin's Yanmen.
At this time, they were also thinking about another matter.
"How is Zhao's Handan doing?"
"It's still holding firm. Li Mu is defending the city, and Wang Jian's repeated attacks have failed to break their defenses!"
"It seems Li Mu is not known for nothing. His defeat at Yanmen was just because he didn't understand Lin Tian's army well enough and fell into Lin Tian's trap!"
Previously, the Yan soldiers had dismissed Li Mu's defeat with disdain, and many of them had a drastically lowered opinion of Li Mu.
But after clashing with Lin Tian's army and suffering defeat at their hands, they suddenly felt a strong sense of solidarity with Li Mu's army.
They felt that Li Mu's army was like them, having fallen victim to Qin's Lin Tian by accident.
However, they were fortunate. Although they had also fallen into Lin Tian's army's ambush, they still had tens of thousands of troops and the ability to fight on.
Unlike Li Mu's army, which was annihilated after their defeat.
Therefore, they felt even more sympathy for Li Mu.
"Send word to Zhao, tell them to hold on a little longer. Once we deal with Qin's Lin Tian, we will quickly reinforce their Handan!"
"Yes!"
Hearing these words, the Yan soldiers felt nothing was wrong.
At present, they were solely focused on attacking Yanmen and Lin Tian's army.
As for other matters, they did not consider them in depth.
They did not even consider that Lin Tian's army would take the initiative to attack them.
After all, although they had been defeated, they still had tens of thousands of troops, which Lin Tian's army could not compare to.
If they defended their cities, they might have a chance of survival. If they attacked proactively, they would only be annihilated by their Yan army.
Therefore, these Yan soldiers rested and recuperated within their cities, living in great peace.
They did not notice at all that on that night, an army appeared within their city.
"Is this the Yan army? Their defenses are even weaker than Zhao's army before!"
"This is their own Yan city, and they have many soldiers in the city, so they don't need excessive defenses!"
"This is good, it saves us a lot of trouble!"
If the defenses were very strict, then Wang Wu and others would have to act with extreme caution.
If anything went wrong, it would be easy to capsize in the gutter.
But, it seemed that tonight's operation would be very smooth.
As expected, their subsequent actions encountered no significant obstacles, and they easily infiltrated the location of the Yan army's grain and fodder.
Even the location of their warhorses was easily discovered.
The defenses around the grain and fodder were relatively strict.
But the warhorses were left to roam freely.
Their warhorses had been startled before and now needed time to adapt, only then could they exert their full combat effectiveness in battle.
Such free-ranging also gave Lin Tian's forces an opportunity.
"General, we brought too few firebombs! Otherwise, we could have caused their warhorses to go into chaos again!"
"Yes! A few dozen firebombs would have made their warhorses whinny and create chaos. It would take days to calm them down and restore their combat effectiveness!"
"What a pity! Such a shame!"
It was a pity that their numbers were not large, and each person could only carry a few firebombs.
Therefore, they wanted to attack these warhorses but had no firebombs.
This caused great distress to Wang Wu and the others.
However, Lin Tian had a different idea.
"So many warhorses, we certainly can't injure too many, because these warhorses will all become our Qin army's warhorses!"
"Therefore, using firebombs is definitely not an option!"
"Go, get some oil, sprinkle it in the horse farm, and create some chaos among these warhorses!"
Earlier, when the Yan army attacked Yanmen, their warhorses were so frightened by the firebombs that they scattered everywhere.
Although their army drove away the Yan army, they did not end up with many warhorses, only capturing some weapons.
Lin Tian was not satisfied with such results.
Therefore, this time, he did not want to be too harsh on the warhorses; he wanted to capture them after the battle.
Upon hearing Lin Tian's idea, Wang Wu and the others immediately understood what to do.
Soon, they stole oil and secretly sprinkled it in the horse farm.
Then, they returned to the location of the Yan army's grain and fodder.
Under Lin Tian's command, they quickly threw out a few firebombs.
In the dark night, the firebombs had not yet exploded, and the flames were not bright.
Their appearance did attract the attention of others.
But many saw them and couldn't react immediately as to what these things were.
It wasn't until the firebombs exploded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The loud explosions, along with fierce flames, erupted in the darkness. The flammable grain and fodder were instantly ignited.
In an instant, the flames surged into the sky.
The Yan soldiers reacted belatedly.
"No, it's bad, our grain and fodder are on fire!!"
"The Qin army is here, the Qin army has broken in!"
"Put out the fire! Everyone, quickly put out the fire!"
Once the grain and fodder caught fire, everyone descended into chaos.
A large number of soldiers rushed towards this direction.
But Lin Tian and the others left immediately after throwing the firebombs.
They reappeared in the Yan army's horse farm.
Subsequently, three firebombs were thrown.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The violent explosions startled many warhorses.
The flames ignited the oil, further throwing the warhorses into chaos.
The neighing of various warhorses could be heard constantly at this moment.
The warhorses, which had been in their stables, now fled in all directions, throwing the entire Yan city into disarray.
More importantly, Zhang Han also made a move, directly eliminating the Yan army's logistics and supply troops, leaving them without any provisions.
In an instant, the Yan army was plunged into a desperate situation.
