Chapter 400: Guarding the East Gate (Part II)

Shotguns will shoot flames from the muzzle, in normal times, even at night, this light can not be used for illumination, but in today's dark rain, these fires lit up the eyes of the officers and soldiers, and the soldiers were frightened at the moment when the flames erupted.

But the musket could not last, and the soldiers could only look at it, and a sergeant standing next to the shotgunner in battle asked in disbelief:

"What was that outside the wall just now? Did you see that? ”

The shotgunner was also horrified when he heard this, and he reloaded with the turn of the muzzle of his gun, and said:

"I don't know what I saw, but now that the front wall is crawling up everywhere, you'd better cover me while I'm reloading!"

In fact, you can't see clearly when you shoot a shot, you can see it clearly after firing a few more shots, there is no one to command on the camp wall, and the shotgunners everywhere are all firing at will, as long as you ask the people next to you a few more words, everyone will naturally understand what kind of "scenery" is outside the camp. But the soldiers did not do this, perhaps because the war was tense and they did not have time to spare, but it is more likely that the soldiers did not want to believe the scene outside.

But reality is reality, you can ignore it but you can't deny it, and suddenly a lightning bolt fell from the sky and pierced the night sky, illuminating the earth, and a huge black curtain covering the earth was lifted, and now all the warriors saw what was happening on the ground outside the wall.

The soldiers who were surprised muttered in a low voice:

"Well, we're going to finish now."

Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun had just entered the tent with their front feet, and the soldiers waiting on the side had not even lit the lamp, and the wall outside the tent was in chaos. Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun glanced at each other when they heard the voice, the two of them screamed badly, pushed the door and rushed outside, and as soon as they arrived outside, they saw that the sergeants on the road were already busy, and the camp wall where they couldn't see anything clearly was full of murderous sounds, screaming again and again.

Lan Ziyi, who was confused, grabbed a sergeant running next to him and asked:

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

The captured sergeant was sweating profusely and panting, and he only replied, "It's an enemy attack!" The thief is coming! With that, the sergeant broke away from Lan Ziyi and ran to the front camp gate, and the figure disappeared into the darkness.

Qi Rongxun was angry when he heard the words of the demon thief coming, and he shouted loudly:

"Where did a thief come from? How many people came? What do you guys look like in such a mess? How do you keep thieves off like this? I want a detailed picture of the enemy, report it to me! “

As soon as Qi Rongxun's words fell, a huge lightning fell from the sky, and the flash of light illuminated the earth in an instant, and the rolling thunder engulfed Qi Rongxun's aftersound, everything was dressed in a silver coat, and everything was revealed in front of everyone.

Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Qi Rongxun and Lan Ziyi to see the surrounding situation clearly, the gate of the camp that was still empty when they first came over had been crowded with soldiers from both sides after death, and as for the walls that had not yet been occupied by the soldiers, the demon thieves were recklessly climbing over the wall.

In the darkness just now, the officers and soldiers who had already climbed the wall could not see clearly if they did not pay attention, and the demon thieves who secretly smeared the wall also lost their square inches after the chaos began, and it was not until this lightning strike that the two armies could see each other clearly. Both the enemy and the enemy, who were still aiming outside the wall or about to turn over and descend the wall to enter the camp, were taken aback at the same time, and at the same time they found that their enemy was close at hand, and the next moment the blades of the people on both sides slashed at each other.

The lightning cleared, and darkness descended again, only this time it was no longer a dead silence as the darkness swept over the land, but a hoarse cry of killing. A sergeant at the head of the city shouted in a loud voice:

"There are thieves everywhere! In the air! The ground outside the walls is full of thieves! “

Qi Rongxun was already with a long knife in his hand when he heard this, and he scolded in a low voice:

"I don't need you to say that I saw it too!"

At this time, Tao Zhutu had already unsheathed his knife and guarded Lan Ziyi's side, and he said to Lan Ziyi:

"Young Master! The thieves have entered the camp, it is not safe here, we must retreat! “

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi scolded:

"Withdraw? Where to evacuate? So many thieves have touched the camp, where is it safe? “

Then Lan Ziyi yelled at the soldiers next to him:

"Ignition! I've lit all the tents next to me! ”

The sergeants running on the road had been stopped by Qi Rongxun a lot, and they were arrayed to prepare for battle, and after hearing Lan Ziyi's order, the soldiers asked:

"Wei Hou! Why burn tents? ”

Lan Ziyi replied:

"The camp wall is so long, but our army didn't all climb the wall to defend it, the demon thieves can enter by attacking over the wall like this, and lighting the fire can hinder the pace of the demon thief's attack, and it's so dark that the soldiers can't see anything, how can they fight if they don't light out the fire?"

Hearing this, the soldiers were embarrassed and said:

"But Wei Hou! With such a big rain torch not lit, how could the tent be lit? ”

Lan Ziyi roared:

"The soft bedding inside the tent is dry, and that can be lit! In the army, the camp tent is lined into pieces, as long as there are a few more tents, the whole piece will burn! ”

But when the soldiers heard this order, they still stood there and hesitated, and refused to do anything in embarrassment. Seeing this, Qi Rongxun became annoyed, raised his knife and pointed at those sergeants and scolded:

"You bastards, why don't you do it? Just go! Light the fire for me! I'm going to drag you out and cut you down without doing anything! ”

Lan Ziyi then added:

"You just have to light the fire, and I will pay for what is burned in the tent! All of Dazheng's horses are sold by my family, I have money, and I will give you the back! ”

The soldiers were taken aback by Qi Rongxun's threat, and then heard that Lan Ziyi had lost money to everyone, which made the soldiers move.

Qi Rongxun shouted orders to the soldiers who had organized themselves, and he instructed the soldiers to pay attention to the formation and line up not to disconnect from the brothers next to them. Then Qi Rongxun arranged for the soldiers blocking the door to march in three teams to avoid blocking the progress of other teams.

When Qi Rongxun arranged the soldiers around him, Lan Ziyi pulled over a few sergeants and ordered:

"When the fire breaks out at the west gate, the defenders in other places are afraid that they will be shaken, and you will immediately go separately to report the military situation to the various gates and the big tent in the camp, and say that this fire is used by me Lan Ziyi to light the lighting himself, not the thief, who is camping here, and after the battle, just ask me for money!"

The sergeants clenched their fists and sang when they heard this, and then they ran separately.

The soldiers who were arranged by Qi Rongxun quickly lit the tents along the road, and the slowly rising fire lit up the night, and the demon thieves who were scurrying around in the camp like rats were all the prototypes of the fire, and the sound that they could have hidden and blended with the night was elongated and amplified by the firelight, and then appeared in front of everyone, and the officers and soldiers who had been neatly arranged by Qi Rongxun were in front of them with knives, lined up in a line to kill into the fire, and the soldiers who followed them lit the fire bigger and more vigorously under their cover, The sergeants standing on the wall of the company camp were also illuminated by the firelight, so they didn't have to fight in the dark like before.

Qi Rongxun arranged for two groups of sergeants to light the fire, and after entering the camp, he originally planned to follow the striker to kill with him, but before he could go away, he was stopped by a royal forest soldier beside him, and the sergeant said:

"General Qi, we don't have enough people!"

Qi Rongxun looked back and saw that the team that had just been brought to the west gate had all been sent out after only a while, and there was no one behind him to send out, and the battle on the camp wall had just entered the white heat, and now was the time to use troops.

Qi Rongxun had no soldiers available, so he was so anxious that he took off his helmet and fell to the ground, he scolded:

"What about people? Where have all the people gone? “

Lan Ziyi stepped forward, picked up the helmet and handed it to Qi Rongxun, and then asked the sergeant next to him:

"Why hasn't the sergeant from the east gate just arrived yet?"

The sergeant didn't know why the others hadn't come, and when asked, he couldn't speak.

Lan Ziyi also knew that he was asking the wrong question, and waved his hand to the sergeant and said:

"Immediately go to the east gate and ask why no one has come. Although our army is small in number, the garrison is still sufficient, so we told them to send people over quickly. ”

When the sergeant walked away, Lan Ziyi sighed to Qi Rongxun and said:

"Just now I said why the demon thief didn't come to the camp, but in the middle of a sentence, Mr. Xiaozhi said it again."

Qi Rongxun looked at the exhausted officers and soldiers fighting with the demon thieves on the camp wall, and said to Lan Ziyi:

"If we come any longer, the gate of this camp will definitely be taken away by the thieves."

Then Qi Rongxun raised his head and scolded the sentry on the watchtower:

"You blind bastards, what's the difference between letting you come out and sentry and inserting a paper man?"

Those sergeants who were scolded by Qi Rongxun didn't dare to say anything, and only dared to keep firing arrows in the sentry box to make up for the mistakes made by their poor reconnaissance.

Lan Ziyi said:

"Qi Hou, when we arrived just now, the other officers and soldiers had already started to walk towards this side, and it would not take long for them to come to support. The number of the Divine Machine Battalion and the Imperial Forest Army we brought with us is not large, and now we have to divide it into three units, so it is good to be able to make this appearance. ”

Qi Rongxun sighed when he heard this:

"Where did the demon thief get this morale? It was possible to launch an attack in such a heavy rain. ”

Lan Ziyi sighed and did not answer.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps on the road where Lan Ziyi and the others had just arrived, and Lan Ziyi said happily when he heard this:

"Reinforcements are coming!"

What disappointed Lan Ziyi was that on the road illuminated by the firelight, only a single figure galloped over. The sergeant was in rags and covered in blood, and he came to Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun before and after he didn't even have time to make a fuss, and then he panted and said:

"Master Hou! Two Hou Masters! Mr. Xiaozhi asked me to come over and ask for help, and asked Hou Ye to send some shotgunners over to support. “

Lan Ziyi was shocked when he heard this:

"I'm counting on him to come to my aid, why is he asking me for shotgunners? And what about his archers? “

The sergeant said anxiously:

"The rain is too heavy, and many of the soldiers' bows have been soaked in glue."
