Yang Xiuqing led the army into the city and directly asked Jiang Mu to lead the soldiers to the military camp. He, Hong Xuanjiao and their guards stayed at the county government office. After Yang Xiuqing settled down in the county government office, he immediately summoned the generals in the army to discuss matters and sent people to guard the city. Lars from outside was also invited to the city to discuss countermeasures against Li Zhen.
Such meetings have been held countless times.
However, no feasible strategy could be discussed at any time. The discussion continued into the afternoon, but there was still no result. Yang Xiuqing was disappointed, and Jiang Mu and Lars were relaxed. They left the county government and ran towards their own military camps. .
Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao stayed in the county government office and returned to the backyard to be tired.
At this time, Bai Shiyuan was undoubtedly relaxed because he had not been harshly criticized by Yang Xiuqing. However, Bai Shiyuan still felt worried when he thought of Li Zhen. After all, he had not yet received the antidote.
…
The moon is high in the sky, and the moonlight shines on Goulian Mountain.
Wisps of light fell on the ground through the gaps, dotting the ground in the mountain forest with spots of light. Combined with the dense mist in the forest, it gave a strange feeling.
The soldiers of the brigade were hiding in such mountains and forests.
Li Zhen picked up a wooden stick and threw it into the burning bonfire, and used the wooden stick to stir it twice. He took out the pocket watch in his arms, took a look at it, and said slowly: "It's nine o'clock now, and It will be half past nine in half an hour. By then, our plan will be fully launched. Lu Shaochuan, you go gather the soldiers and prepare to go to Longtan Town."
"yes."
Lu Shaochuan received the order and immediately started preparations.
Li Zhen turned his eyes, looked at Huang Qiang again, and said: "Send all the soldiers from the Sharp Blade Battalion and let them approach Longtan Town first and get rid of any Taiping Army scouts that may be on the road."
"yes."
Huang Qiang nodded in agreement, turned around and left.
Long Ao looked at the army that had already taken action, thought for a while, and said tentatively: "Commander, you have set a trap this time, and you are 99% sure to kill Yang Xiuqing. Do you really plan to spare him?"
Li Zhen said: "Winning is enough without killing."
Li Zhen saw the puzzled look on Long Ao's face and continued: "Before coming to Nanjing, you could see through the situation. Why don't you understand now? What I want to do is to weaken the power of the Too Poor Heavenly Kingdom. I just weaken it." , but it is not that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is on the verge of destruction, at least it is not the time now, so it is enough to win the battle."
After finishing speaking, Li Zhen turned around and left, starting to prepare to go to Longtan Town.
Long Ao stood alone, scratched his head, and suddenly laughed. Looking at Li Zhen's back, he could clearly feel the ambition hidden in Li Zhen's heart. When he used to discuss how to deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he The idea of weakening the Taiping Army has been put forward, but that was not what Li Zhen said. This time Li Zhen said it clearly.
Long Ao walked forward with a smile on his face.
…
Longtan Town, in the county seat.
Under the starry night, a group of people dressed in black appeared in the north of the county. These people all carried a wooden bucket, shuttled back and forth on the streets, and poured oil or spirits on the surrounding buildings. If you identify them carefully, you will find that these people are all soldiers in Li Zhenjun.
At the same time, soldiers dressed in black appeared in the east, south, west, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest of the county. They all carried large buckets and poured oil and high-concentration chemicals on the surrounding houses and buildings. Liquor.
This behavior lasted for half an hour.
At half past nine, a loud arrow shot up into the sky, making a loud noise in the air.
"ignition."
"ignition."
"Light a fire for me."
…
Eight directions of the county seat suddenly burst into flames. Fires ignited in eight directions. With the cool breeze of the night, they quickly spread, even lighting up the dark night and dispersing the night in the city. The flaming red fires The eyes were dazzling and dazzling, like fiery snakes spreading rapidly through the city.
In the military camp, the soldiers on night patrol were the first to notice something strange.
The soldiers reported the news. After Jiang Mu got the news, he hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out. He stood in the military camp, looked up, and found fires burning in eight directions in the city. Moreover, Jiang Mu also found fires burning in eight directions. The fire has burned into one piece, forming a huge circle, trapping the entire city in it.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Fell into a trap.
Jiang Mu's face turned pale with fright, and he shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, call the soldiers together."
"Dang, Dang,,."
The sound of the gong soon resounded throughout the camp, awakening the sleeping soldiers.
"General, there's a fire behind the camp."
A soldier pointed at the rear camp and shouted. Jiang Mu followed the sound and found that a fire was burning in the direction of the rear camp. Not only that, the flames started to spread from the burning place of the rear camp, like a fire snake. The two sides swam quickly and actually surrounded the camp in a circle, leaving only the direction of the gate.
When Jiang Mu saw this, he felt relieved.
As long as you stay at the entrance of the camp, you still have a chance to leave with the army.
"boom,."
Just when Jiang Mu was thinking that there was still a glimmer of hope, an explosion suddenly came from the gate of the camp.
A violent explosion sounded, like a gunpowder keg was lit. Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions began to appear in the camp, and the rumbling sounds were endless. At this moment, the fire outside the camp was burning, spreading towards the camp, and At the same time, after the camp door exploded, the explosion also quickly sounded in the camp.
Jiang Mu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
"boom,."
An explosion sounded at Jiang Mu's feet.
Mud splashed out, and Jiang Mu flew up without even having time to dodge. He only felt an incomparable force coming from underneath his body, and it rushed him directly into the sky. This force was so powerful that it made his heart ache. His brain lost its ability to respond. When Jiang Mu's body fell from the air, he had no breath and blood began to flow from his seven orifices.
The sound of explosions is still ringing continuously.
Everything was negotiated by Li Zhen, Long Ao, and Huang Qiang. When Li Zhen led the army to stay in the city, he always asked the soldiers in the army to arrange countless explosives below the military camp. Once the fire burned, When the fire reaches the entrance of the camp, it will ignite the fuse of the explosives at the entrance of the camp. After this wave of explosives explodes, it quickly spreads into the camp.
The intensive explosion of explosives and the fire turned the camp into a sea of fire. The soldiers in the camp were killed and injured, and were threatened by the fire. It was already a mess.
Outside the camp, a group of men in black quickly disappeared and ran towards the city gate.
Not only that, but the men in black from all directions in Longtan Town were also like this, running towards the city gate.
Outside the city, Lars saw a fire in the city and heard an explosion. A bright smile suddenly appeared on his lips. Without any hesitation, he led the soldiers directly into the city.
After entering the city, Lars led his troops and rushed towards the county government.
At this time, no one noticed that the soldiers in black clothes in the city mixed into this group of people, and then quickly changed their clothes. Although the skin color was different, under the cover of night, and the surrounding foreign soldiers were all It is over 1.8 meters tall, and no one found Li Zhen's soldiers hiding in it.
