King Qin said: "Right now, Hong Chengchou is attacking Xi'an, he has broken through the city wall, the city is no longer safe, once the city is broken, the jade is burned, if you have any three long and two short, I will be too sorry for you." Because you saved my life, if Xi'an can't hold it, I will let you go. ”

He said to the Qin soldiers: "You take a few horses to Xicheng, once the city is lost and the official army comes in, you will escort Miss Sun out of the city and go to find her father." ”

A Qin soldier said: "King, at such a critical moment, we must stay by your side to ensure your safety." ”

Others agreed.

King Qin narrowed his eyes: "This is the king's order, do you dare not listen?" But if you do not listen, I will behead you first, and then I will send someone else. ”

Those Qin soldiers knelt down one after another: "King, you just beheaded us, and we won't leave." If you are in danger and we are waiting to escape, we are not worthy of being the people of Great Qin. ”

King Qin seemed to have no choice, so he had to let them come: "I let you send her away, it's also my heart, even if I die, I can't leave a big regret in my heart, besides, the official army may not be able to attack the city, if our Qin people repel the official army, you don't have to go out of the city, send her back." ”

Several Qin soldiers glanced at each other, so they had to take the order, took Sun Mengdie out of the governor's mansion, and rode to Xicheng.

Fan Ju looked at King Qin, shook his head and said, "It seems that the king is not sure." ”

King Qin said: "Grasp, it is not in my hands, but in the hands of another person." It's up to him to see if he can make a move. ”

The Qin army who reported the news returned to the city and informed Li Yan of the words of the king of Qin, making Li Yan so anxious that he was about to vomit blood, and he also knew that once the king of Qin made up his mind, he would not be able to pull back the ten oxen, so the only thing in front of him was to fight for his life and resist the attack of the official army.

At this time, the officers and troops outside the city attacked more fiercely, many of these people were defeated and retreated more than ten days ago, they were very unconvinced, thinking that the Qin army was taking advantage of the danger of others, and the victory was not martial, and they had already held a breath in their stomachs.

On the side of the Qin army, because there is the king of Qin in the city, he swears not to retreat. The two sides are staggered in the gap in the city wall, you have me, I have you, and they can't even use their weapons, and some even fight with their bare hands, fighting with their fists.

Ziyi supervised the battle in the back, and his eyes were red, he gave a death order, if he wanted to die, he had to die in the gap in the city wall, and if anyone took a step back, he would be beheaded immediately.

Li Yan was sweating profusely at the head of the city, and he was so anxious that he went to the house, but he couldn't help, he ordered the Qin army in the city to be condescending, throwing stones and rolling wood downward, but many of the officers and soldiers in the gap used shields to protect their heads, and they couldn't hurt people at all, and the archers outside the city also kept shooting arrows at the city wall, which was very lethal.

The officers and soldiers under the city gathered more and more, and as soon as there were more people, the strength was greater, and the officers and troops in front of them began to move slowly into the city, and the Qin soldiers in the city were few, and they were a little unbearable.

Seeing that the official army is about to break through the gap in the city wall and enter the city, if the official army enters the city, then everything is over, if the superior number of officers and soldiers enters, the people in the city will also help them, and the Qin army will be finished.

At this critical moment, a rocket came from under the city and flew towards Li Yan, Li Yan only looked at the situation in the gap, and did not pay attention to this arrow, but fortunately a Qin army next to him pulled him, and with a sound of grabbing, this rocket was nailed to the wooden pillar of the enemy tower behind him, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.

Li Yan was taken aback, and then a brilliant idea rose in his heart.

He loudly instructed the Qin army beside him: "Fetch wood and quilts, and then take some lamp oil, and light the fire......"

The Qin army around him didn't know why, and secretly thought that at this time, the sun was rising, and it was not cold, and even if he froze to death, there was no time to light a fire at this time, and the officers and soldiers were about to enter the city.

As soon as he saw those places where the Qin army was not moving, Li Yan was furious and shouted: "Go quickly, take more things that cause fire, and throw them into the gap for me if you light them......"

At this moment, a word woke up the people in the dream, and those Qin Jun immediately understood.

So half of the people were divided, and they ran down to the city, and in the blink of an eye, they brought a lot of firewood for the fire, and some people also brought a lot of quilts, at this time, Li Yan didn't care to ask whether these things were borrowed or robbed, and ordered to light the quilts and throw them into the gap in the city wall.

The quilt was flammable, and it was thrown downward, and it was being thrown on the heads of the officers and soldiers in the gap, and the shields in the hands of these people blocked the knives and guns, and it was a joke to block the fire. And at this time, it is close to the end of the year, the weather is cold, everyone is wearing cotton clothes, and they are on fire, which is not a joke.

More than a dozen quilts were thrown down, and a miserable scream immediately sounded at the gap, many officers and soldiers were burned by the fire, screaming and retreating, but there were too many people behind, and they couldn't retreat a step, let's move forward, the Qin army in front was blocked to death, and these officers and soldiers who were on fire were like roast ducks on the shelf, and they couldn't run if they wanted to, and they were burned there with their eyes burned.

Seeing that these people were on fire, the people next to them hurriedly threw themselves with their hands, but before they could put out a few times, another burning quilt was thrown down, and their bodies were also on fire.

The quilt alone was a little better, followed by piles of firewood, rags, and some Qin soldiers poured barrels of lamp oil.

It's a good thing, the gap is blazing, scraping and burning. Li Yan ordered a large section of the rolling wood to be poured with oil and thrown down, but this time there was no way to put out the fire.

The officers and soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, and they screamed and retreated, and many people were hit by the rolling logs and fell into the gap, burning all over their bodies, and they were dying.

Hong Chengchou saw clearly in the back, and when he saw that the fire was too big, not to mention people, even rats couldn't get into the gap, so he hurriedly ordered the men and horses to withdraw, and then ordered people to go to the camp to get water, each with a bucket of fire, go to extinguish the fire, and then rush when the fire is extinguished.

Li Yan watched the officers and soldiers take countless pots and buckets from the camp, and knew that they were going to put out the fire, so he just smiled coldly and ordered to continue to carry the rolling wood and throw it into the gap. Then he ordered the archers in the city to start firing arrows at the firefighters.

Many officers and soldiers were shot down under the city, and the buckets in their hands fell to the ground, even if someone braved the rain of arrows to rush under the city wall, such a big fire, a bucket of water poured on it, did not work at all, and it was like pouring oil, the fire burned bigger and bigger, and then within five feet, no one could enter at all, and even the people in the city hid far away.

Hong Chengchou shook his head slightly, he knew that if the Qin army kept setting fire like this, his men and horses would definitely not be able to get close to the city wall, so he had to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

The Qin army at the head of the city watched the officers and soldiers retreat, and they all jumped to their feet and shouted long live.

Li Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he patted the shoulders of the Qin soldiers around him, and said that he had worked hard. Everyone looked at this Li Gongzi, they were all convinced, they didn't use much effort, they just set a fire, and the officials and soldiers were burned back.

Some people have already scattered their feet like flying and went to report to the king of Qin.

At this time, Ziyi did not dare to be idle, although this battle was won, but after all, the city wall was collapsed, and the inside and outside were transparent, which was not a good thing, he ordered people to go to the city to catch the people and craftsmen, prepare bricks and stones, and wait for the fire to be extinguished to quickly plug the gap and strengthen the city wall.

King Qin heard that Li Yan burned the official army, after winning this battle, he was also a little relieved, and ordered someone to invite Sun Mengdie back, he admired Li Yan very much, although this descendant was young, but resourceful, with him, Xi'an City can be preserved.

Hong Chengchou returned to the big tent with a calm face, as if a big battle just now had nothing to do with him.

But the generals behind him were different, Zuo Liangyu couldn't stop scolding his mother, Shi Kefa also gritted his teeth, and burst out from time to time, echoing Zuo Liangyu, not to mention other generals, scolding all the eight generations of ancestors of the Qin army, although they didn't know that the Qin army in front of them was a thousand years older than their eight ancestors.

After everyone sat down, the sound was still very noisy, but gradually there was no sound, because everyone saw Hong Chengchou sitting behind the table with no expression on his face, so they all shut up.

After everyone didn't speak, Hong Chengchou said slowly: "This battle has achieved great results, you don't have to be angry, the city wall of Xi'an has collapsed, although there are not many people who have killed the thieves, but the psychology of the enemy army is close to collapse, if it weren't for this fire, they would have finished long ago." ”
