However, the forests of more than ten miles have become a sea of fire. In order to prevent the enemy from escaping, Xu Sancai also asked the Agricultural Reclamation Army to cut down a large number of branches in advance and piled them in the deep forest. Once ignited by the flames, a raging fire immediately burned. [26nbsp;] The warm wind in spring is still blowing through the forests, and the wind helps the fire. The fire leverages the power of the wind, and the fire and thick smoke completely cover the sphere of more than ten miles.
General An Jiguo's reaction was extremely fast, but the speed of the soldiers could not be compared with the spread of the fire. The fire instantly swallowed up the entire forest. It would definitely be a life-threatening death to try to cross the forest. The mission of the Agricultural Reclamation Legion was already very simple. Continue to throw stones to prevent the enemy from escaping from the front, and the archers continued to shoot rockets to make the fire stronger.
Half of the enemy's troops were recruits. When they saw this scene, they were completely panicked and ran around like headless flies. In fact, not to mention recruits, even those well-trained regular soldiers were trapped in the sea of fire and could not remain calm. In addition, the troops lasted nearly ten miles, and even if the general issued an order, it was difficult to convey it. They could only escape by their own abilities.
When Xu Sancai saw that the enemy's army was almost completely trapped in the sea of fire, he immediately stopped delaying and ordered Zhang Meng to command his troops to wait on the mountain. If there were enemies who fled to the top of the mountain, they would be annihilated. Then he led the agricultural reclamation troops from Yueshan to Xiaoyuecheng to gather, and he left first, so as not to escape and return to Xiaoyuecheng, causing variables to the plan to attack Xiaoyuecheng.
Xu Sancai walked across the mountain alone and went straight to Xiaoyue City with the cavalry team waiting for him. He galloped all the way. After a long time, he came to the vicinity of Xiaoyue City and met the cavalry corps that had been waiting for a long time. In order not to attract attention, he abandoned his horse and entered Xiaoyue City alone. At the agreed inn, he met Zhang Dali, who had already been infiltrated into Xiaoyue City.
Xu Sancai asked Zhang Dali to lead the soldiers who were sneaking into Xiaoyue City to capture the city gate, while he went to the city lord's mansion alone. The city lord had been replaced due to the last incident. The current city lord is a level 7 warrior, mainly responsible for the supply of war materials. When he entered the city, the sky was getting darker and the city gate would be closed soon.
In order to ensure the safety and transportation of food, a large amount of materials were stockpiled in Xiaoyue City, and the transportation team had limited vehicles and horses, so they needed to be transported to the front-line troops in batches. Not only did Xiaoyue City need to be protected by garrison troops, but the transportation team also needed to be escorted by soldiers, and the city lord of Xiaoyue City held three thousand troops in the hands of the city lord.
However, the first transport teams were already with two troops and needed troops to escort empty vehicles back. Therefore, there were only 2,000 troops in the city. The Tunjia District has been rebuilt since it was burned last time, and now there are 1,000 troops guarding it. Each of the four city gates has 200 soldiers, and the City Lord's Mansion has 200 guards. However, since the replacement and rest are needed, the actual guards of each city gate are only 100.
Xu Sancai naturally felt relieved that Zhang Dali was already a level 6 combat division with the help of elixirs, and the centurion guarding the city was only at the level of the combat division. Zhang Dali also brought 200 soldiers, so it should be no problem to seize the city gate. However, what he is most concerned about now is the enemy's supplies. He is worried that the enemy will destroy the supplies, so he decided to assassinate the city lord general first.
These materials were allocated by An Jiguo's treasury and supported this war. Without the general's order, no one would dare to destroy those materials casually. Those materials would become his pillars, completely destroying An Jiguo's weapon, and it was also the basis for the development of the Qin State. He would never let these materials suffer any losses.
Xu Sancai still planned to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion last time, but when he came to the City Lord's Mansion, he found that the soldiers guarding here had changed their patrol methods. Each of the four patrol teams was responsible for a road outside the City Lord's Mansion. The wide avenue was unblocked. He could not approach the courtyard wall of the City Lord's Mansion without being discovered.
Xu Sancai circled around the City Lord's Mansion and found that there was no chance to enter quietly, so he was not in a hurry to enter the City Lord's Mansion. He left the City Lord's Mansion for a distance along the roof and shot out a sound arrow, which was a signal to let the troops launch an attack. Afterwards, he returned to the roof opposite the City Lord's Mansion and hid.
When the arrow signal was heard, Zhang Dali, who had been eager to try, immediately led the 200 soldiers who had entered the city to attack the city gate. The cavalry troops and the agricultural reclamation army that had been ready outside the city immediately rushed to Xiaoyue City. Zhang Dali led the way to rush towards the soldiers guarding the city gate. The battle axe in his hands was invincible and no soldier could resist.
While the defensive soldiers rushed to fight, they still rang a warning gong. The arrows had already aroused the vigilance of the troops in the city, and the sound of the warning gong at the city gate immediately made the city lord and general know that the enemy was in the situation. As a general, he naturally knew his responsibility and immediately sent a team of 100 to reinforce the city gate, and he personally led a team of 100 to the material area.
However, the general led his men out of the city lord's mansion and just turned over, a black shadow had already flew straight towards him from the roof not far away. With the vague moonlight, he saw a little cold light flashing on the tip of the sword. All this was too sudden, and the figure was too fast, and his guards didn't react, but he was a warrior, and quickly took out a big sword and held the sword across the sword toward the stabbing sword.
Of course, the figure was Xu Sancai. He hid on the roof to assassinate the general. Although the roof was thirty meters away from the city lord's mansion, it was only ten meters away from the general's place to get on the horse. He kicked his feet on the roof, and his body was already shot out in the air, his body and swords were united and rushed towards the general like an arrow.
Seeing the general resisting with a knife rod, Xu Sancai's sword leverages force on the knife rod, and his body has flown over the general's head, and the sword is back to the back of the general's neck. The general bent over to avoid the horse, and at the same time swings the knife behind his back. However, the general's war horse suddenly neighs and jumps up. The general, who had already bent over to avoid, immediately hit the sword behind his neck.
Of course, Xu Sancai quietly used a magic sting, which stabbed the abdomen of the war horse. Although the war horse was well-trained, it was a beast after all. In the pain, the war horse jumped up. Originally, the general leaned down to avoid the sword, and the war horse jumped up and naturally made his body crash into the sword. The doubts in his heart were only maintained for a moment, and life left him as the sword pierced into the back of his neck.
The general's guards were shocked and took out their respective weapons to attack Xu Sancai. The thrust was launched under the war horse. The thrust he condensed was less than three inches, so naturally no one noticed it. He thought that the general's war horse suddenly jumped up, but no matter what the reason was, they had to kill the murderer to avenge the general.
