The infantry under Li Chen's command assembled under the city of Xianyang, and saw more than 100 cannons neatly arranged under the city. More than 100 artillery pieces were lined up, and in front of the artillery array was a trench two or three zhang long and more than one zhang deep. The purpose of this trench was to prevent the cavalry of Huhai in the city from raiding the artillery positions.

"General Wang, can we bluff like this?" The artillery general shrank his head and asked with some weakness.

Wang Li looked at the cannon in front of him, and his heart was also empty. Li Chen's command was full of cavalry, and even these infantry were brought out of the city by Liu Bang. These cannons were naturally brought out by Liu Bang. If you look closely, you will find that this artillery position, except for the more than ten artillery pieces in front of it, is real, and the rest are all carved from giant wood, and the outer piece is coated with copper paint to disguise it as a cannon.

With only these thousands of infantry and more than a dozen artillery pieces, it is naturally a fool's dream to take down Xianyang. This infantry is just placed under the city to hide people's eyes, Li Chen's real killer is still the cavalry, once the people in the city succeed in capturing the city, the cavalry can quickly occupy Xianyang City.

It was dark, and the defenders of the imperial city were sleeping. These days, the shortage of food in the imperial city is getting more and more serious, and their rations have been repeatedly reduced. The reduction of rations also made it more and more difficult for the soldiers on the night watch, and when they could not eat enough, they filled their stomachs with water, and when the water in this stomach was blown by the cold wind, the whole body was as if they had entered an ice cellar.

"Shhh

If you drink too much water, you naturally want to urinate, and a defender on the imperial city is hiding from the imperial city to release water. Now that Li You's troops are in short supply, these night vigil soldiers have to eat, drink, and Lazar on the city wall.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

The night was dark, and there was a slight movement on the city walls. A few hook locks had been hung on the city wall at some point, and one after another black shadows crept up from the sky.

The walls of the Imperial City are not as high as Xianyang City, and they are only about two or three zhang high, which is not a difficult city wall for trained soldiers to climb. However, the defenders of the Imperial City, due to hunger and cold, were so hungry that their eyes were dizzy at this time, and they did not notice that someone had crept up.

"There is ......"

The soldier who was peeing towards the city seemed to have spotted the sneaking enemy, and was about to shout loudly when his mouth was covered, followed by a long sword around his neck and pulled down fiercely.

"Poof." Blood gushed out, and hot blood poured on Feng Zai's face, staining his eyes bloody.

At this time, it was Feng Zheng who led the troops to attack the imperial city, and he had already taken advantage of the night to touch it.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

Although the peeing soldier did not shout, the enemy was soon spotted by the night patrol soldiers, and the sound of alarm immediately resounded throughout the city walls.

"Feng Zheng, die." Li You's movements were very fast, and he led his troops to kill him as soon as possible.

Li Youfang came up directly from the city wall, while Feng Zheng's subordinates needed to climb up the city wall. The speed of these two supports is naturally not at the same level, and soon Feng Zheng and the others were surrounded.

"Stop them, and the rest of them will fire their arrows quickly." However, Feng Zheng's purpose was not to share a male and female relationship with Li You, his purpose was to burn down the palace.

As soon as Feng Zheng gave the order, his soldiers immediately divided into two groups. A force blocked Li You and the others who were besieging them, and the rest of the dozens of people quickly took off their longbows from their backs, lit rockets, stood on the city wall, and condescendingly dodged the buildings in the imperial city and shot away.

Li You watched the rocket fly into the imperial city, and his heart was shocked, at this time, he finally knew that Li You was a drunkard and did not mean to drink.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw."

With one successful move, Feng Zheng was not entangled with Li You. is the so-called hero who doesn't eat the loss in front of him, and the reason now is like a red-eyed rabbit, and he can't wait to tear off a piece of Feng Zheng's meat.

Feng Zheng came and went quickly. He came softly, walked gently, and left more than a hundred corpses on the city wall, but it ignited a raging fire in the imperial city.

"General Li, what should I do?" A general trembled all over his body, and pointed to the palace and said.

Feng Zheng set a fire in the palace in front of them, but they couldn't do anything. This is really being ridden on the head and, and then watching others lift their pants and leave.

The rockets they fired were all wrapped in fire oil and sulfur, and they landed on the wooden buildings in the palace, and in an instant, they were already blazing.

Li You looked at the raging flames in the imperial city, he forced himself to calm down, at this time he was the backbone of these defenders, if even he was in chaos, then the imperial city would really not be able to hold it.

"Inform the eunuchs and maids in the palace and order them to put out the fire quickly. If it really can't be saved, let it go over there. Li You groaned.

"General Li, aren't we going to put out the fire?" The general was surprised.

"We can't go, as soon as we go, we'll fall into Feng Zheng's hands. In other words, this ignition can't burn Afang Palace. Li You said categorically.

Fortunately, the imperial city is big enough, and there are some miscellaneous rooms where palace maids and eunuchs live on the periphery, and this fire is still far away from the Afang Palace in the center of the imperial city. As long as the eunuchs and palace maids in this palace are not fools, it is impossible to let this fire burn to Afang Palace.

"Happy, happy."

"I didn't expect that I would burn down the palace one day, which is much more interesting than when I burned down the house of the landlord in our village." Under the imperial city, the rebels who had just withdrawn laughed.

The one who had just followed Feng Zheng to burn down the imperial city was the prisoner camp composed of death row prisoners. They shouldn't be called death row prisoners now, these prisoners who survived the first battle of Shimen Mountain have already gained a new identity. The characters who burned the imperial city are also suitable for this group of lawless death row prisoners.

"This is just a lesson for Li You, the fire in the city can't burn Afang Palace, it's not a break for Li You."

"You guys, quickly push the "train" over, let's burn the city wall, I want to see if he Li You can stay on the city wall. Feng Zai ordered at the prisoner army under his command.

The train in Feng Zai's mouth was not a "dirty" train, but a train filled with dry wood and sulfur and poured with fire oil. Trains prepared in advance were pushed out and lined up to visit below the imperial city.

"Push it through." Feng Zheng gave an order, and the prisoner army held shields and braved the rain of arrows from the defenders of the imperial city to push the "train" under the city wall.

The "trains" were arranged in a row under the Imperial City, and then they were quickly ignited, and a fiery dragon spread over the edge of the Imperial City and rose into the air, and the temperature on the city wall immediately rose.

"Quick, fetch water to extinguish the fire." Li You quickly commanded.

"Let them burn it, it's just warm." One soldier muttered quietly.

"Fart, if you don't put out the fire now, when the fire starts, we will all become roast suckling pigs." A veteran kicked him in the ass and cursed angrily.

However, with Li You's soldiers, it is quite far away from the place where the water is fetched, so the fetching of water is just a drop in the bucket.
