After Lan Ziyi sent the Jihu battalion out in batches, the congestion on the road was reduced a lot.

The scattered bandits in the city launched a number of sneak attacks, which caused some casualties to the soldiers of the Jihu battalion, but these sneak attacks were all repelled by the soldiers.

Not far behind the Jihu battalion, the infantry led by Qi Rongxun also had the sound of riots from time to time, as well as the sound of gunfire.

But Lan Ziyi did not receive Qi Rongxun's request for help, and it seems that there is no danger in the future.

When Qi Rongxun went out of the city, he set fire to all the buildings along the road, and Lan Ziyi marched in front, as long as he turned around, he could see a wave of flames approaching from behind.

Lan Ziyi already felt guilty of conscience when he set fire to a square, Qi Rongxun burned half of the city without even frowning, he was really ruthless, Lan Ziyi had always felt that Qi Rongxun was loyal before.

The two armies joined forces, and the soldiers meandered along the streets, fighting with the thieves who appeared on the streets from time to time, and finally retreated to the west gate with peace of mind.

The west street was empty, there were no thieves, and there were no other soldiers who had just walked here, and the fog and smoke filled the streets, making it impossible to see or fathom.

After going to West Street, there were no thieves to join the attack, the so-called fiction is real, there are thieves in the city, this kind of silence makes Lan Ziyi fearful.

Finally arrived at the West City Gatehouse, and the sergeants in front of them waited on their horses on the street.

Lan Ziyi urged him to step forward and asked the sergeant:

"Why stay?"

The sergeants looked back at Lan Ziyi and replied:

"Master Hou, we see that there seems to be someone at the city gate."

Lan Ziyi looked at the city gate, there was not even a ghost shadow, and he was about to scold, but he felt that it was wrong.

Even if these soldiers of the Jihu Battalion are not the original soldiers of the Beijing Battalion, but the people who have just been replenished from the forbidden army are all elite soldiers of a hundred battles, it will not be unreasonable for so many people to wait at the door.

Lan Ziyi suppressed his words, and the garrison carefully looked at the city gate building not far in front of him,

The smoke and dust on the street wrapped in the city gate tower looked even more cloudy and foggy, and in a trance, this building seemed to have become a netherworld.

Upstairs was black except for the smoke, one by one black and then one after another with smoke, broken and messy, and incomplete colors filled the eyes of individuals, even if the eyes were good, they were ugly.

Suddenly, Lan Ziyi saw that there was a black shadow moving on the city wall, although it was only for a moment, although the black shadow was surrounded by black shadows, but it was indeed a kind of movement,

Lan Ziyi turned his head to look at Tao Zhuhu next to him, Tao Zhuhu was also looking at Lan Ziyi at the same time, the two changed their eyes, Lan Ziyi knew that Tao Zhuhu also saw the black shadow that was moving just now.

兰子义 says:

"What's the opinion of the eldest brother?"

桃淚虎 says:

"Send someone over and find out."

Tao Zhuhu said again:

"We also need to inform Qi Rongxun in the back and let him prepare to turn around, and we will go another way as soon as there is a situation here."

Lan Ziyi nodded when he listened, then turned around and ordered his subordinates to go back to the horse to report.

When Lan Ziyi turned around and came back, Tao Zhuhu had already assigned a team of men and horses and ordered them to go to the city gate tower to inspect.

Although these soldiers didn't say anything, they could see from their expressions that they were resistant, who was willing to die.

Before the soldiers set off, Tao Zhuhu commanded:

"Be careful, turn back immediately if the situation is not right."

But outside the city gate is an urn city, where can you escape if there are really thieves in ambush.

The soldiers let the horses go, and the empty streets were full of the crisp echo of horses' hooves, accompanied by the cracking of porcelain with distant flames, which was really terrifying.

The soldiers quickly disappeared into the smoke, and the looming doorway seemed to close for a moment, and then swallowed them all.

Lan Ziyi grabbed the reins, and his brain was full of cold sweat,

Then, as if it was the expected stimulus, Lan Ziyi heard the shouts coming out of the urn city.

Tao Zhuhu immediately turned around and ordered the sergeant:

"Retreat! Withdraw now! “

Lan Ziyi also turned his horse's head with the shout of Tao Zhuhu, thinking that today is really unlucky, I hope that the south gate will not be taken by thieves again.

But before the soldiers could all move, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again in the city gate, and it was getting closer and closer from the outside to the inside.

After that, Lan Ziyi heard the voice:

"Master Hou, don't panic! It's your own people! “

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he looked at Tao Zhuhu, and Tao Zhuhu said:

"Looks like someone I sent out just now."

Lan Ziyi hurriedly gave an order to his sergeants:

"Stop!"

Then turn around and go back.

Sure enough, it was a soldier who rushed through the smoke and dust that was sent out by Tao Zhuhu just now.

The soldier came to the army and said:

"Marquis Wei, in the urn city and on the tower of the city gate are the brothers led by General Li."

Lan Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, it turned out that there was no trace of his brothers on the street because they had all come here.

When Tao Zhuhu heard this, he immediately sent someone to catch up with the soldier who had just spoken, and at the same time told Qi Rongxun to speed up and go to the West Gate.

Then Tao Zhuhu guarded Lan Ziyi and led his soldiers along the street to the West City Gate.

When he arrived at the West Gate, Lan Ziyi probably saw the city clearly, and the soldiers standing on the city gate were all soldiers of the forbidden army, holding bows and arrows looking at the city, and the soldiers in the urn city were also ready, laying down barricades, if the thief Kou Ken went out of the city through the West Gate, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Lan Ziyi entered the city gate, Li Guangzhong was talking with the sergeants who had just entered the gate, and after Lan Ziyi approached, several people saluted Lan Ziyi together.

This night made people nervous for a long time, and now they can finally relax, Lan Ziyi asked Li Guangzhong with interest:

"More than 10,000 of you are stationed in Wengcheng, and there is no sound at all, what do you want to do?"

李广忠 says:

"Back to Weihou, I and the two gentlemen of the Qiu family went all the way to the west, and encountered many sneak attacks by thieves on the road for a short period of time, and then many soldiers of the forbidden army came from the city, telling us that Weihou led the team to relieve them from the siege, and also told us that the dock had been breached by thieves, and the situation in the city was critical.

After getting the news, the two gentlemen of the Qiu family and I decided to occupy the West City Gate as soon as possible, if Wei Hou succeeds in rescuing Qi Rongxun, we will be here to pick you up and go out of the city together, if Wei Hou has a mistake on the front line, we will occupy this place and have a foothold. “

Lan Ziyi listened to what Li Guangzhong said with a beginning and an end, and he was happy in his heart, and said:

"General Li is well arranged, what a talent."

Then Lan Ziyi asked again:

"What about the two gentlemen of the enemy family?"

Li Guangzhong replied:

"Mr. Xiaozhi led the team to defend in the city, and Mr. Wenruo led a group to prepare outside the city, and I led the team to defend the urn city.

This arrangement is also the result of my consultation with the two gentlemen. “

Lan Ziyi listened and nodded,

The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion who entered the city to investigate next to him took the opportunity to joke:

"General Li's defense is really tight, just now a few of us entered the city and were almost knocked down by tripping horses, and then our heads were in different places,

General Li is like this to his own people, and the field will definitely not be able to break through the defense here. “

Li Guangzhong replied:

"The city is full of smoke, and we are also frightened when we see so many people on the street in the urn city, and I must prepare for the worst when you urge the horses to come."

sergeant says:

"Thieves have no horses, we are all cavalry, can't General Li even tell this?"

李广忠 says:

"Having horses and not horses is only temporary, whether the thieves take your horses or forcibly occupy horses along the way, they can organize cavalry, if I let you suffer a loss with horses and no horses, who will be responsible?"

Tao Zhuhu scolded at this time:

"A few of you have suffered a little and are complaining here, do you blame me for sending you over to investigate? General Li is right, what are you complaining about here? ”

Lan Ziyi didn't say it, but he very much agreed with Li Guangzhong's attitude of strictly guarding the city gate.

After the two sergeants finished speaking, Lan Ziyi asked again:

"Why don't you light the lights when so many of you stay in the city?"

Li Guangzhong replied:

"When we arrived in Wengcheng, there was a lot of smoke in the city, and we didn't know what the battle was like, so we didn't dare to light the lights, for fear that our whereabouts would be exposed."

After hearing this, Lan Ziyi looked at the soldiers around him, and looked up at the other brothers stationed in the city, and was very relieved.

This arrangement is not like Li Guangzhong alone, there must be the father and son of the enemy family to give advice, these two gentlemen are really wise and brave.

Suddenly, Lan Ziyi thought of something, so he asked Li Guangzhong:

"General Li can see my second brother?"

Li Guangzhong shook his head when he heard this, and said:

"We haven't seen General Taoer, Wei Hou is so worried, do you want to send someone out to find it?"

Tao Zhuhu shook his head and said:

"I don't even know Erlang's whereabouts, so how easy is it to find it?

I don't think there's any need to look for it, and there will be no loss of Erlang's skills. “

As he spoke, the soldiers led by Lan Ziyi rushed out of the city gate, and more than 2,000 soldiers had all gone out of the city in a short time, and Qi Rongxun's infantry had already followed.

Qi Rongxun and the Shenji Battalion general, like Lan Ziyi, did not leave behind the palace or first, but took the Shenji Battalion to sit in the Chinese army.

After entering the urn city, Qi Rongxun and the others simply exchanged two words, and then let the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion go to the city, and replaced the sergeants of Li Guangzhong guarding the city gate.

As soon as Li Guangzhong wanted to give his opinion, he was blocked by Qi Rongxun, who said:

"Your men use bows and arrows, my men use shotguns, and the thieves in the city are more or less armoured, and their muskets are more lethal.

General Li should hurry up and take the people out of the city, get ready outside the city, and then we can get out of the city as soon as we get out. “

Lan Ziyi also signaled Li Guangzhong to obey Qi Rongxun's arrangement, and in this way, the three thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion replaced the forbidden troops up and down the urn city.

Qiu Xiaozhi came down from the city and walked up to Lan Ziyi and was just about to say something, but the chaos in the city interrupted his words.

Only the tail of Qi Rongxun's troops remained in the city and had not yet left the city, but the thieves were pouring in from all directions to keep the last few officers and soldiers in the city.

Only some of these thieves who poured out were people who came down from the docks, and the rest could be seen from the armor as people who had been ambushed by Lei Youde in advance.

Qi Rongxun came from the city, set fire all the way, there is almost no place for thieves to hide, coupled with the report of the thieves who entered the city, now all the thieves in Shouchun City have been chased to the west gate,

Seeing the outlaw thieves pouring into the streets, Qi Rongxun just coldly ordered the shotgunners of the Shenji Battalion:

"Cut the rope, ignite the fire, and get ready to aim!"
