As night falls, the sea breeze from the north gradually picks up.

There are many bamboo forests growing on this island. As the wind strengthens, the bamboo forests are rolling like waves. Although it is autumn and winter, the bamboo forests here are still green.

A withered yellow bamboo leaf left the branch and floated in the direction of the wind, spinning in mid-air like a windmill. Below were dozens of piles of lit firewood, which continued to dance with the wind and drifted into the thick smoke.

It has disappeared.

Dozens of thick smoke gathered into a ball and swept towards the valley like a storm. Soon the hundreds of meters long city wall was covered, leaving only billowing white smoke and nothing could be seen.

"kill!"

Huo Shenjiang drew out the sword from his waist, with a ferocious look on his face, pointed in the direction of the city wall and shouted loudly.

Although he had guessed that this village was probably empty, he was also very excited. No matter what choice these people made, there was no way they could escape from his grasp, and he would also make this terrible decision.

War exploits.

"kill!"

The soldiers nearby responded loudly, carrying ladders and rushing into the choking smoke, intending to storm the city wall. With their numerical advantage, as long as they crossed the city wall, they could start a killing spree.

Bang! Bang!

They rushed into the thick fog and were rushing towards the city wall when the gunshots from the top of the city rang out like firecrackers. Many people only got halfway through the rush, but had to turn around and run back. Some people had steel balls all over their faces.

"Haha, you didn't escape... let me kill you!"

General Huo Shen laughed proudly and immediately kicked his subordinate.

These people did not choose to escape from the secret passage, so as long as he captured the city wall, he could go on a killing spree and slaughter all the unarmed villagers.

rush!

The soldiers had no choice but to rush forward again, only to be met with intensive firecrackers and gunfire. After rushing into the thick smoke, they could not see where the firecrackers were, so every time the firecrackers sounded, they were frightened.

Terrified.

"Kill me!"

Huo Shenjiang saw another person running back, and immediately kicked the subordinate angrily. While he was excited, he was also angry that these subordinates were so greedy for life and afraid of death, and were so cowardly.

Under his pressure, these soldiers rushed up again and again, but when the gunshots from above were loud, some people dropped the ladder and fled back in embarrassment.

What makes people feel weird is that General Huo suddenly stopped paying attention to these deserters. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked in a certain direction of the thick smoke, as if there was some good-looking woman there.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a crashing sound from the direction of the city wall, which was obviously a big hole.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The people guarding the city wall seemed to be panicking, shooting wildly in the direction of the collapse.

"Ah ha ha ha... withdraw it! withdraw it!"

General Huo laughed wildly and immediately issued orders in the direction of the thick smoke, with a hint of joking in his tone.

When he knew that the defensive strength of the city wall was still there, he secretly deployed his men and adopted the strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, asking his henchmen to use siege wood to secretly attack the earth wall.

Everything went smoothly as expected. As expected, the people on the city wall only paid attention to the soldiers on the ladder, but did not pay attention to the side of the siege wood. His plan was successful.

Now that a hole has been broken into the city wall, the city wall has lost its defensive effect. Whether it is the men guarding the city or the old, young, women and children in the village, they will all be a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Fortunately, the mission has been fulfilled!" An officer came back proudly and said to him with a cup of his hand.

General Huo excitedly patted him on the shoulder as a reward, immediately stopped attacking, and ordered people to destroy the fire.

Now that the city wall has been broken, he does not need to continue using smoke attacks and can fight his way in openly. Thinking about being able to kill in this village, his whole body feels hot and his blood has begun to boil.

More than 300 sergeants lined up neatly in the open space, swords in the air, looking at the smoke ahead.

General Huo Shen was wearing iron armor and holding a sharp sword. He stood at the front of the army and watched the smoke gradually dissipating. At this time, he did have the demeanor of a general.

The north wind in the evening was strong, and soon the smoke was slowly blown away, and the city wall that looked like a natural barrier was revealed again. But under the eyes, there was a big hole in the hundreds of meters long city wall, like a fan.

open door.

Huo Shenjiang showed a bright smile. In his eyes, this village was already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. With just one order from him, this place would become a sea of ​​blood.

But he suddenly noticed a strange person standing on the city wall. He turned out to be a scholar. As the smoke completely cleared, he finally saw clearly the true appearance of the scholar standing on the city wall.

How can it be?

When he saw Lin Haoran clearly, he was completely stunned.

He did not forget that in the ship he escorted, there were forty-three candidates for the new imperial examination in Guangdong. He might not be able to remember the other candidates, but this was the sixteen-year-old Jieyuan from Guangdong. How could he

Will he admit his mistake?

Now that Jieyuan was not dead, but appeared here, and thinking about everything that happened that night, a deep chill filled his heart.

Although he still couldn't figure out how to get back here, he had a feeling that this person might know the secret of that night.

No, this is a good thing. This person was held hostage here by Tie Wenliang...!

Huo Shenjiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he looked at Lin Haoran, he was no longer frightened, but full of joy.

When his eyes focused on Lin Haoran, he had only one thought. That was to shut up the scholar completely, and then naturally put the blame on Tie Wenliang's head, making him another strong evidence against Tie Wenliang.

.

"All heroes, obey my orders and attack me!"

General Huo Shen raised the sharp sword in his hand and planned to lead more than 300 soldiers to attack, kill the scholar, and then massacre the village completely, turning this place into a hell on earth.

Thinking that the noble Jie Yuanlang would die tragically under his knife, and that streaks of blood would splash on his body and dye his clothes red, he was immediately extremely excited.

But his excitement did not last long, because he suddenly found that no one came forward, and he couldn't help being slightly shocked. He was immediately angry, and turned around to reprimand these greedy men, but his face was suddenly stunned.

At some point, General Yu had already arrived behind him with his soldiers, looking at him with a heavy face. Looking at these cold eyes, his heart suddenly felt cold.
Chapter completed!
