"Are we here?" Xu Shu murmured in a low voice... Xu Shu raised his head and looked at the sky. There was no moon or stars tonight and everything was pitch black.
"Light the fire." Xu Shu ordered to the sergeant, let me start this killing.
"No." The sergeant respectfully agreed and retreated.
Xu Shu quietly looked at the direction in which the sergeant disappeared without saying a word. When something happened next to him, he calmed down. His face remained calm and calm.
"Boom" is like a volcano erupting. The raging flames rise suddenly, and are extremely bright in the dark night. Through the light of the flames, you can see that there are more than a dozen piles of such high chops around, each one as tall as a person. On the surface
Pour a layer of tung oil.
The flames mixed with black smoke spread so far in the empty night that even Linxiang City, which was several miles away, could feel it. Then each high chop was lit, and more than a dozen volcano-sized torches formed a long
The fire dragon, now even the people in Linxiang City can see clearly from every corner.
Xu Shu looked at the blazing fire dragon in front of him, and the fighting spirit in his heart was aroused little by little. He turned around and looked at the invisible Linxiang City in the distance with twinkling eyes.
In the military camp outside Linxiang City, Xu Shu was discovered after he lit the first fire. Ma Zhong ran to Liu Qi with excitement and said excitedly: "Lord, it has begun." Although he did not participate in the battle, he still
Excited.
Liu Qi nodded, glanced at the nearby Linxiang City and said, "Get ready." After hearing this, Ma Zhong turned around and left.
Not long after, the fire dragon in the distance lit up nearly half of the sky. Everyone in Linxiang City was attracted by the scene. Even Zhang Xian stared at the sky closely. No one noticed the original lights of the army outside the city.
The bright military camp suddenly became extremely dark.
"Master Taishou, do you think there is a fire on the mountain?" said a general beside Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian looked at the fire dragon that burned half the sky red and laughed loudly: "God is really helping me. This is a warning from God, indicating that things will go well for us today."
Zhang Xian's words quickly aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers around him. God congratulated us on our victory, so how could we not win? The fierce crowd lasted for a quarter of an hour before gradually extinguishing.
Zhang Yi suddenly pointed outside the city and shouted: "Father, you see Liu Qi's army is gone."
Zhang Xian turned his head and saw that the originally brightly lit camp had turned dark, and his heart sank. Before he could react, he heard war drums blaring in unison and horns soaring to the sky. Zhang Xian's hands and feet instantly felt cold, and his body was violently shaken.
Conspiracy! This is Liu Qi's conspiracy! This was his first and most instinctive reaction. He even forgot to order a defense. He couldn't understand why Liu Qi's army, which was just under his nose just now, disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Without a trace, they appeared under Linxiang City again. There was no sound and no light. How did they do it? You must know that Linxiang City is at least nearly three miles away from Liu Qi's army.
"kill."
Zhang Xian was awakened by the loud shouts. Fortunately, Liu Qi was attacking the city from the north gate. He couldn't help but feel glad that he had made such arrangements today. The soldiers around him were already in full formation without Zhang Xian's urging. They lit up their torches one by one,
Crossbows were set up and aimed at the city walls, and the archers had their bows fully drawn, ready to deliver the most terrifying blow to the enemies in the darkness. The huge boulders of wood were also moved near the city wall.
A brutal killing is about to begin.
Huang Zhong led his men and horses to lurk near the south gate. The red clouds on the horizon reminded him that the time to take action was getting closer and closer. Less than 500 people gathered around him. Although these 500 people were small, they were elites and belonged to Huang Zhong.
Trained.
The red light disappeared, and the sound of killing at the north gate of the city was loud. Huang Zhong took out his boxwood bow and led his men towards the city gate.
"Stop, who are you?" the city guarding general asked vigilantly. The soldiers around him were on alert at night.
"It's me." Huang Zhong walked out of the darkness.
"It turns out to be General Huang. I wonder why the general is leaving the city so late?" the city guarding general said with a smile, and his vigilance was slightly relaxed. The soldiers around him relaxed their vigilance one by one when they heard that it was Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong's prestige in Linxiang City was very high, and they did not dare to slack off.
"Didn't you hear that there was a fight at the north gate? The prefect asked me to quietly go out from the south gate and rob Liu Qi's escape." Huang Zhong said impatiently.
"General, do you have a warrant from the Grand Administrator?" the general who defended the city asked casually, having already put down his guard.
"I came in a hurry, so what's the order? Open the city gate quickly. Can you afford it if something goes wrong?" Huang Zhong said displeased.
"Yes, yes, yes, general, wait a moment." The city guarding general said quickly. He can't afford to offend Huang Zhong. He is neither from Huang Zhong's family nor from Zhang Xian's family, so he is left here tonight.
Guard the south gate.
"Open the city gate." The city gate opened slowly, and Huang Zhong couldn't help but tighten the boxwood bow in his hand.
"General, please." The general who defended the city opened the city gate and said to Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong grunted and wanted to go outside the city gate. When he walked to the guard, he immediately rushed forward and grabbed the guard, and put a big knife on his neck.
"General Huang, are you?" the guard's voice trembled slightly as he looked at the sword so close at hand.
"Shut up." Huang Zhong shouted, then turned around and said to the soldiers who were picking up weapons: "Zhang Xian is cruel and ungrateful. Now Master Liu Qi has come to attack on the orders of Master Zhou Mu. We have surrendered to Master Liu Qi."
, you still won’t put down your weapons.”
The soldiers around him didn't know what to do for a moment. Huang Zhong shouted: "The army will be here soon. If you put down your weapons, you will avoid death. If you stubbornly resist, you will be punished on the spot." After saying this, the five hundred sergeants who followed him raised their arms.
The weapons shouted in unison: "Kill."
"That Zhang Xian allowed his son to go around doing harm to the people, and now he used weapons for selfish purposes and ignored the people in Linxiang City. Why should we serve him?" The people Huang Zhong placed among the soldiers first put down their weapons.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers around him lowered their weapons one after another. Seeing this, the general guarding the city secretly sighed: "It's over." He secretly prayed that Liu Qi could kill Zhang Xian, otherwise he would not be able to escape death.
Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to take them aside when he heard a sound outside the door. The first one to appear was the Flying Tiger Guard in white armor. Wang Yi glanced around and came to Huang Zhong, pointing at the soldiers around him and said:
"General Huang, these people are temporarily left to you."
After saying that, he led the Flying Tiger Guards and rushed into the city, followed closely by the eight hundred Jinfan thieves, followed closely by the soldiers and horses led by Lu Jie and Zhou Cang. Suddenly, the city was filled with the sounds of killing.
North Gate
Zhang Xian heard the shouts of killing coming from the city. He had already ordered the soldiers guarding the city to stand ready. As long as they saw Liu Qi's army, they would inflict heavy damage on him. However, after waiting for a long time, there was suddenly no sound from the city. Zhang Xian immediately ordered the soldiers to put down the torches.
Only then did he realize that the city was deserted, with only scattered utensils left on the ground.
Zhang Xian immediately knew that he had been fooled and screamed inwardly. He heard the sound of killing at the south gate. A soldier stumbled to Zhang Xian and said: "Sir, Liu Qi's army has entered the city."
Zhang Xian grabbed the visitor and asked, "How did Liu Qi's army enter the city? Who let them enter the city?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know either." Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed away by Zhang Xian.
When Zhang Xian heard the cries of killing in the city, he knew that he was already too late. Although Liu Qi's army was small in number, they were all elite and could not be resisted by soldiers like his.
"Open the city gate." Zhang Xian immediately led the eight thousand soldiers and horses around him out of the city. Since your soldiers and horses are all in the south of the city, I will go from the north of the city.
The city gate opened and eight thousand troops gathered at the city gate to prepare to leave the city. Zhang Xian suddenly heard someone from behind shouting: "Where is Zhang Xian going?" Then the Flying Tiger Guard in white armor appeared in her sight. Zhang Xian was shocked.
Immediately lead the troops and horses out of the city.
Zhang Xian had just walked out of the city gate, and before he had crossed the moat, he saw a bang in front of him, flames shot into the sky, and the utensils that had been scattered on the ground started to burn one by one.
There was a fire in front, and troops were chasing after them. Zhang Xian's army was crowded for a while. Those in front were pushed to the rear, and those in the rear were pushed to the front. The soldiers were pushed down and trampled, followed by the killings of the Flying Tiger Guards.
Screams, exclamations, and cries for help were mixed together, blood spattered, heads flew up, limbs were broken, and the blood was abnormal. The Flying Tiger Guards were like killing machines, killing without stopping, and their white armors quickly
It turned red, and bright blood flowed on the white armor.
The Jinfan thieves who followed closely showed no sign of weakness and charged back and forth in a small area. Zhang Xian's army was unable to resist at all. The sound of the bell was like a desperate sad music, harvesting the lives of each one.
The eight thousand soldiers and horses quickly collapsed and scattered in all directions. Some knelt down to beg for mercy, and some rushed directly to the fire ahead. Zhang Xian looked at the chaotic army in front of him and knew that the situation was over. He raised the sword in his hand, and the next moment blood flowed.
Splash three feet.
The killing lasted only a quarter of an hour, but it left a deep impression on people. Both Linxiang City's troops and Liu Qi's troops kept a respectful distance from the five hundred Flying Tiger Guards. Occasionally, soldiers passed by the Flying Tiger Guards.
Passing by, when I saw the armor that had turned red, my legs couldn't help but tremble, and I walked away quickly.
The city had calmed down and the war was over. Han Xuan quickly took the remaining few people around to comfort the people and treat the injured soldiers. Huang Zhong took the returning soldiers and horses to clean up the traces of the battle. The blood stains were quickly washed away and the roads were cleared.
When we came out, the collapsed houses were simply repaired.
Xu Shu led the sergeant into Linxiang City. He was very satisfied with the battle. The only thing he didn't expect was the bloody situation of the Flying Tiger Guards. It was not his fault. After all, the Flying Tiger Guards had been showing up for a long time.
