Tonight's Xiangcheng silence is chilling,

Obviously, there are hundreds of thousands of thieves outside the city to surround the city, but there is no sound in the city, whether it is the whispers in the houses or the barking of dogs in the streets.

Not only was there no sound, but there was not a trace of light in the city, and from a distance, even the government was pitch black.

It was only when I got closer that I found that the streets around the government were full of forbidden cavalry, and all the soldiers had their mouths in their mouths, and their horses were haltered.

Walking further into the mansion, you can see that the palace is full of soldiers from the Jihu battalion, each wearing armor and belt, pressing the saber in his hand, vigilantly looking outside the palace wall, without making a sound.

There was no one in the county hall, but the back courtyard was full of soldiers.

At first glance, there is no light in the backyard house, but if you wait a little, you can see a dim light coming through the door of the backhouse that occasionally opens.

The four of Tao Zhuhu, Tao Zhulu, Tao Zhutu and Wei Qionglou had already taken the archers in the city and the forbidden army infantry who entered the city to ambush the main streets of the four gates.

The people in the war zone were quietly evacuated after nightfall, because Tao Zhulu arranged the displaced people who entered the city in a fixed place, and those suspected Xiangcheng people also found various excuses to transfer away that night, and the evacuation of the people was not discovered, at least Lan Ziyi planned it.

Now there are only Lan Ziyi, Gao Yanzong and the father and son of the Qiu family in the back ya, and there are many Jihu Battalion soldiers around the four of them.

So many people gathered around the room, but only one candle was lit on the table, and most of the candle had been burned, and the wick was hanging and swaying from side to side in the clumps of wax tears that had fallen around it.

The windows of the house were all covered with a black cloth, so that no light could penetrate at all, and no heat could escape.

Many armor soldiers in the house were sweating profusely, and Lan Ziyi was wearing armor all over his body, and he was also sweating profusely.

On the side, Gao Yanzong was already fat and strong, and in such a cramped space, he felt like a steamer.

However, Gao Yanzong did not lose his armor because of this, he wore a full set of armor and stared at the candle flame motionlessly.

No one spoke, and the room was filled only for the occasional crackling of the burning candles.

Suddenly, Gao Yanzong said to himself:

"What if the thieves find out?"

Lan Ziyi knew what Gao Yanzong was asking, in order to prevent accidental injury, all the people were transferred, which caused the street to be too empty, and the defenders at the city gate were all transferred, in fact, a few should be left as bait to be more real, but everyone couldn't bear to let their people die.

Once such a suspicious environment makes the thieves suspicious, tonight's efforts will be in vain.

Lan Ziyi tugged on his collar, dissipated the heat, and then picked up the water glass and drank it clean, he said:

"The thieves have to send arrows on the string, and they won't change the plan easily, when the city is ugly, it was originally a curfew, and now it's wartime, and no one on the street is normal, but it won't show it."

Gao Yanzong thought for a moment and asked again:

"What if the thief has already seen through the eyeliner planted by Jiro Momojia?

What if the thief is in the middle of the war? ”

兰子义 says:

"I believe in the second brother, his eyesight will not be wrong, and the thief will never notice it.

Even if the thieves find out, it's just that the thieves retreat, and there is nothing to lose to us. “

Qiu Xiaozhi wiped off the sweat on his head and said:

"Don't get excited, just accept the enemy, just get used to it."

Gao Yanzong turned his head to look at Qiu Xiaozhi, as if he wanted to say this sentence back, but after thinking about it for a while, Gao Yanzong himself laughed, and he said:

"I just want to get a taste of the Blade Thief as soon as possible."

At this time, Qiu Wenruo said:

"But the 'thieves' who are about to be stabbed by the adults were also good citizens, and they were just bewitched by others."

Gao Yanzong looked at Qiu Wenruo, and then said:

Wen Ruo is kind-hearted, and Gao admires it.

But if Wen Ruo said this, can he let the thieves go back to being good citizens? ”

Qiu Wenruo lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and then said:

"As long as the ambush of the thieves is successful tonight, the thieves should also know how difficult Xiangcheng is, if only the thieves abandoned Xiangcheng because of this."

Qiu Xiaozhi on the side said:

"If Lei Youde commands the army, maybe he will leave after tonight,

But for someone else, that's not necessarily the case. “

On the side, Lei Youde was not happy when he heard "The thief is leaving", and he was about to speak, but there was a sudden shout of killing outside the house.

Everyone in the room looked at each other and nodded.

The sergeant outside the door pushed the door and entered, and was about to report the military situation, but saw Lan Ziyi and Gao Yanzong leading people out in a hurry.

Lan Ziyi said as he walked:

"According to the previous plan, the main force of the government cavalry was divided into four teams, each supporting the four city gates.

Lord Gao went to the west gate to assist General Zhutu, I took people to the east gate to support General Zhulu, and the rest of the teams arrived at the location to obey the orders of General Zhuhu and General Wei.

The people left behind in the house should protect Mr. Qiu, if the Quartet needs support, they must have the consent of the two gentlemen before they can set off.

Do you understand everything? “

All the soldiers sang in unison, and the sound shook the wilderness, even in Xiangcheng, where the sound of killing was everywhere.

Lan Ziyi and Gao Yanzong came to the gate of the yamen and got on their horses.

Lan Ziyi clenched his fists and said:

"Take care, Lord Gao!"

Gao Yanzong clenched his fists and said:

"Take care of Wei Hou, everyone will drink together tomorrow morning to celebrate."

Then the two led their own teams, and the cavalry around the palace was divided into four teams and rushed towards the city gates on all sides.

Lan Ziyi rode a horse and lived in the cavalry formation, commanding his soldiers of the Jihu Battalion to charge.

Xiang Cheng is not big, you can already see the fire at the city gate in the county office, Lan Ziyi led his soldiers to run forward for a short distance to see the houses lying in ambush on both sides of the street, and the officers and soldiers on the roof pulled their bows and shot arrows at the thieves.

After the previous wars, the thieves have considerable experience, and after suffering a sudden attack, they did not collapse in morale, but slowly retreated to the city gate while preventing the officers and soldiers from approaching under the cover of rattan players or shield hands.

Moreover, after the Battle of Yuzhou, the number of thieves wearing armor increased dramatically, and many of these troops who entered the city wore forbidden army armor.

Lan Ziyi obviously felt that the current thieves were no longer the rabble they used to be.

It's a pity that although the thieves have the ability to deal with it, it is still not enough, the main defense of the thieves is the bow and arrow shot from both sides of the street, because there is no attack on this side of the street, there are almost no thieves with shields or spears to defend.

The flanks with such a wide open door are the perfect opportunity for Lan Ziyi and them to charge,

Lan Ziyi gave an order, and the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion who ran raised the speed of the horses under their crotches to the limit, turned the horn bow in their hands into a circle, and fired three arrows at the thief.

The thieves were hit by arrows in the side and fell a lot of people, only to find that the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion rushing out from the depths of the street had just mobilized people to defend, but it was too late.

The two rows of knights who rushed to the front leveled their lances before rushing to the thieves, and the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion in the back row put their bows into their pockets and drew their sabers, and Lan Ziyi also pulled out his swords from his waist.

The knights charged almost clinging to the buildings on either side of the street, looking down from the air as if a spear had stabbed into a rat hole, piercing the rat through.

The soldiers shouted loudly and rushed into the enemy formation, and the lance and the thieves were all skewered on it, and some of the thieves' armor bounced off the lance, but the powerful momentum of the men and horses together was beyond the spine of these thieves, even if the tip of the lance did not pierce them, their bodies were also folded backwards raw, as if they were folding a piece of paper in half.

The soldiers of the Jihu battalion who followed behind put the sabre at the height of the neck, and in such a dense environment, instead of risking the risk of injuring friendly troops and wielding the saber, it was better to directly cut by the momentum of the horse.

Sure enough, the fish that escaped the long lance in the front row was cut in different places in the rows of horizontal knives in the back, and for a while, the human head rolled to the ground like a ripe melon and fruit in the field.

The thieves' hearts were completely shattered by the fierce charge of the cavalry, and the thieves who were closer to the city gate threw down their weapons and turned around.

But the city gate was too narrow to allow so many people to go out at the same time, and a large number of thieves were blocked in the city gate by their own people, and behind them were constantly flying arrows and sabers approaching with a cold light.

The thieves outside the city are not much better, because Xiang Cheng dug three trenches, and the road left to enter the city is extremely narrow.

Of course, the thieves can march calmly when they 'sneak attack', but now the arrows flying down from the city wall are like locusts flying in the sky during the locust plague.

Moreover, the thieves who were far away from the city had not received the order to retreat for a while, which made the road even more blocked.

The thieves under the gates were forced to fall or were squeezed out, and many fell into the moat.

The thieves who were not drowned or who were relatively on the back road had no way to go, so they all jumped into the trenches dug by Gao Yanzong, wanting to climb over the triple trenches on the periphery.

It's not that they don't know that there are traps, but as far as they know, the fine work in the city has been marked on the traps, and as long as they dodge them, they can escape.

But what they didn't know was that Lan Ziyi had already sent someone to do his hands and feet, and the marked place had already been made into a hand and foot, and the place next to it had been dug into a death trap.

The thieves who climbed into the trench managed to climb out of the pit, but they didn't take two steps before they felt their feet fall into the deep pit, and what awaited them was the sharpened stake at the bottom of the pit and their own cries before dying.

The thief who didn't fall into the pit was just about to rejoice when he felt one foot sink into the ground, and the piercing pain spread all over his body from the bottom to the bottom, and the thief found himself stepping into a small pit half a leg deep, and the pit was full of barbs, not to mention pulling out his leg, even if he moved, he would faint in pain.

At this time, the arrows shot from the city wall became a relief, and the thieves who were shot at the key point would die after a few struggles.

And those thieves who were lucky not to be shot could only scream in pain until their throats were torn apart, blood was collected in their chests, and finally they died in agony.

Some thieves who wanted to survive were so desperate that they drew their knives and cut off their calves, desperately trying to escape, but after they rolled into the next trench, they had no way to climb out, and could only wait for their blood to dry up and die at the bottom of the ditch.

Lan Ziyi watched the soldiers of the Jihu battalion cut the last thief in the city gate into a few sections, and then ordered the infantry to close the city gate again, at this time Lan Ziyi looked back at the other directions in the city, Kong Ming Lantern had been lifted into the air, and the other three city gates had also been taken back,

Lan Ziyi looked at the Kong Ming lantern rising into the sky on the side of the West City Gate, listened to the excited shouts of the soldiers around him, and sighed softly,

He took off his helmet and said to himself:

"Won tonight!"

In the comment area, there are enthusiastic readers who think that what I write is a serious work, and it is not suitable to be published at the starting point as an online novel.

What I want to say is that in fact, whether it is newspapers and magazines, physical books published by publishing houses, or online releases, they are just different communication media, and they are not the standard for distinguishing works, let alone a reason to reject different writing styles.

In the past, newspapers, magazines, and television were the most advanced media when there was no Internet, but now the Internet can disseminate information more efficiently, so I choose to publish my work online.
