The shouts near the river immediately alarmed the surroundings, and the others immediately let out a cry of surprise when they turned their heads to look.

One after another, it was like a chain reaction that spread throughout the army at once.

Zhao Xi sat on horseback and looked over the heads of the infantry at the rushing river.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and his eyes showed a look of surprise.

I saw a two-leaf light boat floating quickly from the rushing river, and there were four young men holding torches on top of the light boat.

I couldn't help muttering in surprise: "Where did the fishermen come from, didn't they say that there were no people within a radius of five miles?" ”

"Tut, I dare to fish in this kind of current, I really admire!"

General Wu retracted his surprised gaze with emotion on his face.

said with a smile: "It seems that the people of Shangjun live a hard life, otherwise they would not have ventured fishing in this rapid!" Hahaha, it's really a tyrannical Qin! ”

Along the way, there were no fishermen on the side of Shangdang County at this time, and no one dared to come out to fish even if they were hungry.

Under this kind of rapids, the slightest carelessness when casting the net will capsize, which is no different from looking for death.

Therefore, the people of Shangdang County would rather join the anti-thieves than go down to the river and lose their lives!

Now there are two light boats appearing, and in their opinion, the people of Shangjun are living a difficult life, and they have completely opened up in order to be able to drink a mouthful of fish soup.

This is true even for the people who live by the river, not to mention the people of the county town and the county seat!

And from time to time they are also harassed by foreign races, which is obviously more critical than the counties in the interior.

Zhao Xi raised his head and said with a sad face: "This king is here, and when the rule of the tyrannical Qin is overthrown, the people of Shangjun will be able to live a stable and good life!" ”

General Wu hurriedly said: "King Zhao is benevolent, it is a blessing for the people of Shangjun!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's a blessing for the people of Shangjun!" Several other generals, dressed as generals, also hurriedly flattered.

As for whether it is a blessing or a curse, they know better than anyone else.

A good life of stability is only for these generals.

The displaced people at the bottom, what should they do?

Even, because there is no land, life is even more difficult than in the past!

But

This is also what Zhao Xi and others like to see.

If these people are living in peace, where will they come to grab the land!

General Wu turned his head to look ahead, and said in a deep voice: "King, when the army is assembled, go straight to the county seat, and strive to take the county seat in one fell swoop before sunrise!"

Otherwise, if it drags on for too long, Wang Li's reinforcements will come! ”

Zhao Xi asked in surprise: "Wang Li's reinforcements?" Doesn't he confront 200,000 local troops, and he dares to withdraw his troops? ”

General Wu's eyes were firm and he nodded heavily.

I secretly complained in my heart: I can't even keep the nest, who cares about it, it's stupid! Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to use the name of this fake King Zhao to gather strength, he would have been slashed with a knife!

When Zhao Xi heard this, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter what the price is, rush to the county seat overnight, and be sure to break the city and capture Fusu alive before sunrise!" ”

"No!" General Wu immediately received the order, his eyes full of excitement.

According to their experience, as long as they seize the county seat or county seat and kill the Qin officials, the territory will be grabbed!

Even if there are still Qin soldiers, they will obediently surrender and expand into the Zhao army!

Whether it is robbing the county seat in Shangdang County, or Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, they are all doing this, and they have already been cleared!

However, Shangdang County was seized by the thieves, and Zhao Xi's territory was at the very edge, and it was impossible to see a newspaper issued by Shangjun.

If you see the news released recently, even the 100,000 troops of Donghu and the king of Donghu have become prisoners, I don't know if they will have this confidence!

"Look!"

"They stood up!"

"Are you going to cast your net?"

"Who takes a torch and casts a net!"

The thieves near the river whispered and craned their necks curiously to watch the excitement.

Among them, there are many who know how to fish, and their faces show a look of schadenfreude, just waiting to see the boat capsize when the net is cast!

It's just strange that the man standing up in the two light boats has a torch in his hand, but his eyes are fixed on the middle of the drawbridge.

Faintly, there seems to be an aura of slaughter on his body.

Someone muttered: "They are from the army, there are weirdness!" ”

Suddenly, people watching the excitement were more curious.

Even Zhao Xi, who was waiting for the assembly to be completed, sat on his horse curiously and observed.

Anyway, there are only two light boats in the river, and there are only four men in total, even if they are really Qin troops, they can't make waves in front of the 50,000 army.

Not to mention that the 50,000 army has one person and one sword, even one person can drown them with a mouthful of spit!

Therefore, even though he felt strange, he was not flustered at all, but showed a very interested look on his face.

Soon, the light boat drifted under the suspension bridge.

The sharp-eyed one stared at the bridge for a moment, and exclaimed, "Look, there is a rope under the bridge, and they want to burn the bridge!" ”

Suddenly, there was panic around the people who heard the shouting.

"What a mess, there is no pungent smell of fire oil on the bridge, it is simply wishful thinking that they want to set the whole bridge on fire with two ropes!"

A burly man who looked like an officer sat on his horse and scolded, calming the brief confusion.

Ordered: "Archers, shoot them!" ”

Immediately, dozens of archers walked up to the front, bent their bows and shot arrows!

At the same time, the torches that had already reached the bottom of the bridge were only lightly touched on the ropes that were hanging down, and smoke immediately rose from the ropes, and the flames began to fly upwards.

The other person on the light boat immediately picked up the wooden shield that had been prepared and blocked it on the side, and the two-meter-high shield was like a door panel, covering the two of them tightly.

Knock knock!

The arrows were inferior to the wooden shields, but they could not hurt the people on the light boat, and they could only watch as they floated out of range.

But the archers downstream were ready and immediately fired arrows.

It's a pity that the shield-like door panel is blocked, and even if you want to shoot the person behind, you can't do it.

The crossbow can do it, but if you push it to the river, people will run away long ago!

The officer who gave the order to release the arrows looked at the burning rope that was about to spread to the bottom of the bridge, frowned and ordered: "Go and put out the fire with a few people!" ”

Immediately, several stout men ran onto the drawbridge.

There is no oil on the bridge, and this flame can be extinguished by feet!

In the case of arson on the bridge is discovered, it is a dream to want to burn the suspension bridge with a rope!

Zizi

In the blink of an eye, the smoke burned to the end.

Immediately after, a loud bang came, and in an instant, sawdust splashed!

The bodies of several people who rushed onto the bridge to extinguish the fire instantly shattered and were covered by a ball of firelight.

Syllable!

The long drawbridge snapped in plain sight, ropes fell into the water, and blood-stained planks fluttered ...... the river.
