Because they decided to attack the city, the two went to various teahouses and restaurants in the city during the day, looked for a private room on a high place to draw a map of the city's defense, and then put together each part one by one at night, connecting them according to their impressions.

By the evening of the 8th, the two of them pieced together the gains of a few days in Zhong Li's room, although the ink was mottled, but they could basically see the layout of the city defense. There are only three gates in the east, west and north of Fuli City, and each gate is equipped with a duty camp, and about thirty or fifty people are stationed in it. Soldiers patrolled the rammed earth walls day and night, with about twenty people on each wall. Except for a few crossbows and crossbows, there was nothing else on the city walls. Most of the men and horses in the city were stationed in the large camp near the west gate, and now there are less than a thousand people stationed here, and it seems that the camp is empty, and if the garrison is full, this large camp should hold up to 5,000 people.

"Look," as soon as the defense map was spelled out, Zhong Li couldn't wait to discuss with Gu Yu about the countermeasures to break the city. "If I let Qin Lang lead two thousand troops to the East City, I will destroy the East City guards, and you take the opportunity to open the East City Gate. Qin Lang led his troops in, and the defenders would flee from the west and north gates, and I would order the remaining soldiers and horses to lie outside the west and north gates, so that the defenders in the city could be cleared. ”

Gu Yu pointed his finger at the streets of the city, "Indeed, the east city gate is more than a mile away from the camp, if you move quickly, you can indeed bring troops in before its reinforcements arrive." However, there are still fifty guards in this city, can you handle it alone? ”

"If you're smart, I'll be pretty much the same."

"Am I clever enough?"

"Judging from the situation when I was attacked that day, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to deal with a gate guard."

The two wrote the siege plan on the back of the city defense map, but when they turned Tianmu, they were about to shoot the map out of the city, but they saw that the situation in the city was changing. Early in the morning, before dawn, the soldiers in the big camp in the city went out of the city one after another, and there were chariots and horses with baggage, and they continued to go out from the east gate and the north gate, and then returned empty. The soldiers at the east and north gates were also busy responding, and for a time the small city that should have been calm was all busy.

"What are they doing?"

Zhong Li saw that the cars were pulled with logs and ropes, and he probably knew a thing or two. "It is estimated that Dai Ying is going to withdraw his troops and come back, and they are going to build a partial camp outside the city."

"Is it your sweetheart who won?"

"Perhaps." Zhong Li said thoughtfully, "Now it's even more important to hurry, if you can't conquer this city tonight, Dai Ying may have to rely on this place and fight stubbornly in the corner of the Daling River." ”

"But now, do you still have to act according to the previous plan?"

"I don't think the previous plan is going to work. Now we have to think about how to get the scattered people to gather in the city, and then give him a nest. Although Dai Ying is about to retreat, it is better to prepare a 'surprise' for him. Zhong Li thought about it while thinking about the things in the city, and then said to Gu Yu again: "I'll change the plan on the map, and I'll send it out now." ”

After the unitary square, the sky was completely dark, but the chariots and horses in the city were still unbroken, and the Beifeng soldiers still rushed to the outside of the city to build a camp after dinner. Zhong Li found a carriage out of nowhere, put on the Beifeng military uniform that he had prepared earlier, and mixed into the front yard of the treasury with the large group of carriages and horses. While loading the truck, he said that he was in a hurry and asked everywhere about the whereabouts of the toilet, so as to sneak into the backyard.

However, as soon as he entered the backyard door, he heard someone stop him. In desperation, as soon as he turned around, he saw that this person was somewhat familiar.

"Eh, weren't you the captain that day, why are you here?"

Zhong Li saw that it was the doorman a few days ago, and he didn't want this person to remember him. "Hmm...... I'm here to do odd jobs, and I asked General Xiao Ming before, and he said that it will take some time to arrange a place for me. So instead of having nothing to do, why not come here and help. He now made up a set of words to reply. What are you doing? ”

"The general sent us here, saying that he would stare at death everywhere in the treasury. At present, there are many people inside and outside the building of the camp treasury, and the general is also afraid that there will be chaos in this joint. Anyway, isn't the thing pulling in the front yard, how did you end up here? I just thought you were some kind of villain. ”

Zhong Li saw that there were two or three guards not far behind him, so he said, "Aren't I in a hurry, I can't find a latrine when I first come here." If you are fine, can you take me for a ride, I am also very anxious. ”

When the guard heard this, he also smiled and said, "It's a shame to see me, otherwise you will be in such a hurry that you will be afraid of death." Come on. As he spoke, he led the way.

Turning the corner, Zhong Li saw that there was no one around, so he patted the guard on the shoulder. The guard turned around and was about to speak, when he felt a chill in his throat, and he couldn't use it if he wanted to happen again.

"I'm sorry brothers, each for his own master." Zhong Li grabbed him by the shoulder, slowly lowered him down in the flower pond on the side, wiped the blood from the tip of the knife, and turned back to the backyard. When he saw that there were many flammable materials in this place, as he had inquired before, he took out the flint and flint and hay that he had prepared.

At the same time, on the side of the east city, Gu Yu went to the wine shop near the city gate early to wait, and when he saw the smoke rising from the treasury, he immediately changed into a black coat that he had prepared, assembled a short crossbow in three times and two times, and jumped on the roof on the opposite side with a brisk step.

The sudden explosion, coupled with the red flames that rose in an instant, made everyone know that there was a fire in the city within a radius of more than ten miles.

"Walk the water, walk the water!"

Seeing this, the soldiers who originally built the camp came back to help the fire, and the east gate was full of retreating soldiers for a while. Just when the soldiers outside the city were almost back, suddenly the drums thundered, and when I looked again, I saw a black shadow coming out of the trees around the city, and in an instant they were in front of them.

"Close the gates!" The guards at the east gate hurriedly lifted the latch of the city gate, but at the moment of lifting, the sharp arrow pierced through the silver-white helmet, and one of the guards fell to the ground.

"There's an inner response in the city!"

As soon as someone shouted, many soldiers turned back to the city to find the source of the arrows. But at the moment when everyone hesitated, they heard a muffled sound, and a hugging log slammed open the city gate, and then countless black armor poured in, killing the future and prepared Beifeng soldiers in an instant.

Qin Lang was a tall horse, although everyone rushed to the city, they heard a whistle, and when they turned their heads, they saw a black shadow on the top of the second floor not far away, beckoning to this side. He knew that this was Gu Yu, so he hurried a few steps to him. "You're going to be a great help."

Gu Yu took off the black veil and pointed to the firelight, "Go and save your master, I'm afraid he will be familiar if it's too late." ”

"It's so hot......"

Zhong Li opened his stinging eyes, there were orange patches everywhere in front of him, and he remembered that he hadn't run two steps after throwing the fire source into the warehouse, and he was knocked out by a wave of explosion. There was now a red fire everywhere, the path in the previous treasury had been blocked by burning ruins, and the Beifeng guards were stunned or shocked to death everywhere.

Thick smoke filled the air, and in addition to the smell of burning plants and trees, there was also the greasy smell of burnt flesh, and the pungent smell of sulfur and other substances. Zhong Li didn't get up in a hurry, but continued to lie on the ground, looking for a way out through a little gap.

The sound of explosions continued to be heard, and the scattered debris with flames scattered everywhere, Zhong Li had nowhere to dodge, so he had to run towards the sparse fire. However, in the cloister, on the roof, including the large locust tree in the backyard, everything as far as the eye could see was burning like crazy. Zhong Li saw a breach in the wall, and just as he tried to climb over, he saw a pine tree fall down with a bang, and the flames of the height sealed the place.

Another explosion struck, and the flying fire in the sky turned the road where Zhong Li came into a sea of fire, and now Zhong Li had nowhere else to go except for a high wall on the opposite side that was blocked by flames.

"Could it be that I'm going to die here?" He had never imagined that there would be so much grease and brimstone in the treasury before he set it on fire. At this moment, he suddenly saw that there were many armor-piercing war hammers in the fire-burned storehouse on the side, or perhaps a part of the wall was chiseled open.

Zhong Li rushed into the warehouse in the flames, and just as he wanted to pick up the hammer, his hand was scalded back by the high temperature of the hammer handle. The distance between the flames in the pile of hammers is about the same, I'm afraid that none of them are not hot, and now that the girder is already on fire, there is no time to choose in this house. In a hurry, Zhong Li suddenly thought of a way, kicked the hammer to the ground, and then squeezed out a bubble of urine on the handle of the hammer. A wisp of white smoke rose from the hissing sound, and the smell made him laugh at himself. However, he didn't care about it, Zhong Li picked up the hammer and ran out of the house, seeing the warehouse collapse in a firelight.

Looking at the scarlet sparks in the sky, Zhong Li let out a sigh of relief, and then wheeled a hammer head of more than ten catties and smashed it towards the high wall. As soon as the hammer came down, Zhong Li's hand was so shocked that he almost threw the hammer out, but there was also a fist-sized pit in the wall. Zhong Li looked around the pit with a few more hammers, and a head cut appeared on the wall. Looking out through the hole in the opening, there was indeed a way out after the firelight.

However, the fire was getting closer and closer, and even the stone floor was burning, and Zhong Li looked carefully, it turned out that the unexploded grease was left from the collapsed warehouse, leading the flames everywhere. Seeing that the fire was about to burn, Zhong Li suddenly heard someone on the other side of the wall calling his name. Although it was faint in the sound of soldiers and the roar of fire, it was enough to hear clearly.

"Zhong Li is here! But the brother of the Xuanlong Army? Zhong Li banged on the wall and shouted at the same time, and sure enough, he immediately heard a response.

Through the hole in the wall, Zhong Li saw a tall horse heading straight here, the firelight reflected his face red, and he recognized this as Qin Lang at a glance.

"Over here, behind the wall!" Zhong Li continued to hammer the wall with an iron hammer, and Qin Lang immediately noticed this.

He ordered the guards who followed him to remove the burning branches from the wall and lean himself to the hole, "Is the general alright?" ”

"If you come half a minute late, I'll be roasted." Zhong Li let go of half of his body and let Qin Lang see the fire behind him. "Help me cut through the wall."

Qin Lang looked around, but he didn't see anything that could be used as a hammer. "We're all spears, we don't have hammers."

Zhong Li saw that the fire behind him was no more than two feet away from him, and obviously he couldn't allow them to look for it anymore. "Then take the head of the gun and poke it, you can hurry up, there is no time to delay!" As soon as he finished speaking, he thought again, "Wait, how many spears do you have?" ”

"Six-seven, what's wrong?"

"Enough. Insert them all through this hole, and I'll step on it later, and you guys will press it down together, understand? ”

Qin Lang reacted, "The general wants to jump on the wall with his strength?" ”

"That's right."

Hearing the order, Qin Lang personally led a few people to insert the spear into the hole in the wall, and poked it diagonally on the ground on the opposite side, leaving less than half the length on the side of the wall. Zhong Li greeted, Qin Lang rushed to the tip of the gun and stepped on the strength, and shouted, "Get up!" Several people grabbed the barrel of the gun and pulled it down, and saw Zhong Li jump up and fall to this side with one hand on the wall.

"General." Several people saluted in unison.

Zhong Li flicked the ash on his body and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Back to the general, at the moment, all parts of the city have been suppressed, only the outside of the treasury and the area around the military camp are still fighting, but I have killed all the way and have not seen the general on the opposite side."

"It doesn't matter, if I control the few places I said, he shouldn't be able to run for a while. And leave here with me, and talk about it outside. ”

A few people were about to leave, when they suddenly heard someone in the fire shouting: "Zhong Lixiu is leaving, take your life!" ”
