The fire was raging, and the entire Lingui County was surrounded by fire.
Above the ground, thick smoke billowed into the sky.
At this moment, Xi Yinglong, Xi Changzhen and the soldiers gathered outside Beimen City have all determined that "Li Zhen" must die, because if they block the opponent in the city, they will definitely win.
"Crack."
A drop of cool rain fell on Xi Changzhen's face.
The refreshing feeling was transmitted to Xi Changzhen's mind through the nerves on his face. He raised his eyebrows, and a look of surprise flashed through his narrow eyes. He stretched out his hand to wipe the water stains on his face, and a bad premonition arose in his heart. , the next moment, he looked up at the sky and saw dense raindrops falling down. Each drop of raindrops reflected in his eyes, clearly visible, but it made Xi Changzhen's heart feel cold.
It's raining.
Suddenly, loud shouts rang out from the army.
Xi Changzhen's body trembled, but he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. As long as the rain was very light, it would be impossible to extinguish the fire in the city. Water defeated fire, but fire also defeated water. The amount of rainfall was not large, and it would not affect the fire burning in the city. It cannot pose a threat.
"Wow, wow,"
The rain became denser; the raindrops were as big as soybeans.
It started pouring rain in the sky.
"Tick tock, tick tock,."
The rain splashed on the ground, and the smell of earth immediately rose up. The pungent smell rushed into his nerves. Xi Changzhen's bun was wet, his face was covered with rain, and his body began to tremble slightly. He stared at the sky , with a look of unwillingness in his eyes, and shouted: "Oh my God, why, why is it raining?"
Xi Changzhen felt strongly unwilling to ask why it was raining at this time.
"It's raining, it's raining,,."
Waves of cheers came from the city.
There was endless joy in the messy sounds. However, when the sounds coming from the city reached Xi Changzhen's ears, they seemed extremely harsh and even made Xi Changzhen feel disgusted. His eyebrows were shaking constantly, and his jaw was shaking. The long beard underneath was already wet from the rain and was extremely messy.
Xi Changzhen looked dejected and his expression looked extremely crazy.
God can't help.
Xi Changzhen sighed, but a cold and stern look flashed in his eyes, and he said solemnly: "'Li Zhen's' army was blocked in the city and was eroded by fire. If the rain hadn't been put out, they would definitely be able to attack The other party was caught off guard." He looked at Xi Yinglong expectantly, hoping to get Xi Yinglong's approval.
Xi Yinglong looked calm, with deep helplessness in his eyes.
It was supposed to be a sure win, but now things have changed.
This is too weird.
Could it be that the people in the city are really blessed by heaven?
"Kill~."
When the rain fell, there was suddenly a loud roar that resounded throughout the world. Immediately, an army appeared in sight. This army was led by Li Zhen, Yang Banhou, Smith and others.
The army came to attack with great momentum.
When Xi Changzhen saw it, he was immediately stunned. Why did Li Zhen appear outside the city? He was not inside the city.
Xi Yinglong also noticed Li Zhen coming out. He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, Li Zhen appeared outside the city. It's so cunning. And Li Zhen's soldiers inside the city are no longer threatened by fire. We must be united as one. If we attack now, we have no chance of winning. When the time comes, not only will we not be able to defeat Li Zhen, but we will also be easily entangled by the opponent. We must withdraw, and withdraw immediately."
Xi Changzhen said: "We are homeless, where can we go?"
"Go south."
Xi Yinglong said decisively: "My original plan was to defeat Li Zhen and not have to evacuate. Now Li Zhen actually used the golden cicada to escape from his shell and stayed outside the city. The soldiers in the city could not be eliminated because of the heavy rain. If he continued to stay, he would definitely Being attacked from both inside and outside, we had no foothold and had no choice but to go south."
Xi Changzhen said again: "So what if we go south? The world is so big, but there is nowhere to stay."
Xi Yinglong chuckled and said: "Brother, it's just a place to stand. It's nothing to worry about. The world is vast, and there is no place for us. Things in the country are complicated now. It's impossible for Li Zhen to chase us. Don't worry, think about it, there is the so-called Manchu Emperor in the north, and there is the fierce bandit Shi Dakai in the southwest. Li Zhen must put down these people first, and then deal with us, so we have enough time to develop our own strength."
After a pause, Xi Yinglong continued: "I have already thought about the next arrangements. Let's go to the Nguyen Dynasty in the south of Vietnam. The Nguyen Emperor there is ignorant and has done nothing. If we go, we can settle down and take advantage of the turmoil in Vietnam. The situation, form a blocking force, and then accumulate troops for a decisive battle with Li Zhen later."
Xi Changzhen said: "Do you want to leave your homeland?"
For Xi Changzhen, leaving Guangxi is undoubtedly leaving his hometown.
Xi Yinglong said: "We are leaving temporarily and will come back. Currently, almost all of Li Zhen's troops are in Guilin Prefecture. We will go south immediately to seize the opportunity while the opponent's strength in Liuzhou Prefecture, Nanning Prefecture and other places is not strong. "
"Okay, let's settle the battle with Li Zhen later."
Xi Changzhen nodded in agreement, but there was still deep reluctance in his eyes. He didn't care about getting wet, and quickly wrapped his braid around his neck, then squatted down and used a steel knife to cut off a large piece of clothing, and then He held some rain-soaked soil and put it on his lapel, wrapping it into a small package. He put the small package wrapped in soil in his arms, looked at the county where the fire had diminished, and murmured: "I'm going to Vietnam." , I don’t know when I can come back.”
Xi Yinglong sighed softly and ordered to leave.
Xi Yinglong led his army to brave the heavy rain and changed direction to avoid the pursuing Li Zhen's army.
…
In the city, cheers erupted one after another, and they had already resounded throughout Lingui County.
The heavy rain fell, and patches of water mist rose in the city.
"It rained and we were rescued. Xi Yinglong was amazing. Fortunately, God has eyes, otherwise we would all be doomed."
"The sky has eyes. God won't let us be burned to death, haha."
"I can't die, I'm still alive."
…
Among the soldiers, there were continuous cheers. Yufu was already soaked by the heavy rain. He was also extremely happy. He saw the flames around him extinguishing quickly, knowing that the situation of the battle would change this time.
What was originally a desperate situation has now suddenly become a way out.
Seeing the heavy rain, Tang Fu knew that this was a great opportunity. He immediately raised his voice and shouted: "We are fighting Xi Yinglong. God is on our side. God will help us but not Xi Yinglong. We have God." With blessing, we will definitely win. Fight out, capture Xi Yinglong, and defeat Xi Yinglong."
Tang Fu raised his arms and shouted, extremely excited, with anticipation in his eyes.
This is a great opportunity to counterattack.
A group of generals who were soaked by the heavy rain also shouted orders and ordered their soldiers to attack.
This time, they wanted to defeat Xi Yinglong. When the army rushed out of the city, Xi Yinglong's army could no longer be seen outside the city, but they saw Li Zhen's army standing outside the city.
When Tang Fu saw this, he thought to himself: Xi Yinglong is really an elusive guy.
Li Zhen did not find out how Xi Yinglong left the city, but now Xi Yinglong took the initiative to escape. He chased him for a while and then came back.
"Yang Banhou, send someone to inquire about Xi Yinglong and his army. Be sure to confirm Xi Yinglong's movements. At the same time, find out how Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen's army ran from the inside of the city to the outside." Li Zhen looked serious and took the encounter very seriously. If you can't figure out the reason this time, Xi Yinglong may have quietly entered the city again.
Yang Banhou agreed and went to execute it immediately.
