The three of them were trying to find a more comfortable place to lie down and rest, when Ji Xiancheng suddenly saw that there seemed to be a fire flickering in the distant sky, and he couldn't help but "pout". Yu Zhilong and Wu Side were strange and asked him, Ji Xiancheng was puzzled: "It seems that I saw a fire flashing in the city, so I was puzzled." "It's five or six miles away from the city wall, and it's far away, so you can't see the movement in the distance, and even the firelight is difficult to discern, so Yu Zhilong ordered Qian Zheng to lead people close to the city gate to observe, and come back from time to time to tell the news.

A few sharp-eyed people around also thought that it seemed that there was a fire shaking above the city gate, but the distance was too far to be confirmed, so they had to wait here for the scout in front of them to come back and tell them. Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan stood up excitedly and pointed in the direction of the city gate. It seemed that God sensed their anxious mood, and after a while, I saw a few shiny colored balls streaked into the sky, and these fireworks colored balls were so eye-catching in the dark night sky that everyone could see them.

"My lord, it's the signal of the promise!" Ji Xiancheng said loudly in surprise.

"My lord, the time of the signal has been advanced!" Wu Side continued.

All the leaders looked at each other, Yu Zhilong had already told them the signal of contact when he was sitting idle just now, and now seeing that the signal appeared in advance, Liu Qi was both excited and puzzled. After asking each other, no one was at a loss, and finally focused on Zhilong.

"Lord Yu, what's going on?" Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.

"The signal is ahead of schedule, it is estimated that things have changed, immediately assemble the team and prepare for the contingency!" This is Yu Zhilong's order to Wu Side and Ji Xiancheng.

"Obey!" After the two of them bowed their hands, they immediately went.

"Light the torch, go to the front to investigate, and ask Qian Baihu what happened?" The two soldiers received the order, mounted their horses, and went straight to the gate in front of them with torches.

When Liu Qi, Qin Zhanshan and the others saw it, they also ordered to assemble their own teams to stand by.

After a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a personal soldier and a scout returned, and the scout came to Yu Zhilong, rolled the saddle and dismounted, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said: "My lord, we have confirmed that it is the agreed torch signal in front, and the signal is clearly shaking up and down left and right three times, and then I saw a fireworks ball in the sky!" Qian Baihu ordered the villain to come first, and he personally stepped forward to find out. ”

"Well, the signal is not wrong, this is indeed sent by Sun Xing. It seems that there is a change in the city this time, and Sun Xing has to launch it in advance. It's just that his own brigade of foot soldiers is still behind, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour to arrive. Now there are less than 400 people around me, what should I do! Yu Zhilong frowned and pondered.

There are about 500 Han troops and volunteers in the city, since Sun Xing launched it in advance, it means that there is a change in the city, if you can't respond immediately, Sun Xing and the others will be in vain! Now that the city gate has been successful, the hard battle of attacking the city has been avoided, and it is necessary to be prepared to attack its unpreparedness, although there are some risks, but the opportunity is rare and cannot be missed.

Yu Zhilong no longer hesitated, and ordered his own soldiers to return to the infantry of the rear team, ordering them to immediately speed up and rush to reinforcements, and told Liu Zhengfeng that his side had been launched in advance, and Yu Zhilong and others would do their best to protect the city gate, and enter the city to fight, expand the results of the battle, and ask Liu Zhengfeng to come to support as soon as possible after receiving the letter! The soldiers were ordered to ride away. The people and horses here gradually gathered, Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan had already learned that the corresponding signal in the city had been issued, and they were all overjoyed, and they rushed over with their subordinates and said: "Brother Yu, since you have succeeded in the city, it is up to us now, don't worry, the old brother will definitely give these Tartars a good look!" It's time for us to exert our might, but these days we are suffocated by these turtle sons! ”

"That's right, this time it takes two leaders to show their might before they can successfully capture the city!"

Yu Zhilong said hello to these two people, and looked at the subordinates who had gathered in the queue, three hundred people were divided into three columns, with Yu Zhilong as the center to form a large circle, each holding a war horse, each holding a torch all the time, in the crackling firelight was a face full of hope, Wu Side, Ji Xiancheng and other subordinates straightened their waists and stood at the head of the team. Both of them are burly and fierce people, in the valley battle, Ji Xiancheng fought bravely, killing the enemy Yingye, only Mu Chun's number of killed enemies can be compared, Wu Side was extremely dissatisfied afterwards, so he fought to come with Ji Xiancheng and compete in the battle of the city.

"Gentlemen, there is Linqu City in front, only by taking it can we have the opportunity to be an upright person! In the past, the Yuan Court and the bullies gave us inhuman treatment for many years, but this time they will be repaid with blood and blood, and they will be repaid a hundred times! We are no longer the coolies and mouths that were bullied, whipped and enslaved at will. You have swords in your hands and war horses under your crotch, whoever dares to treat us like before, then kill him and kill him to cry and cry for his mother! Now here's your chance, gentlemen, if you want to live like yourself, follow me into the city and kill your mother! ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" Wu Side took the lead in shouting. The blood of the army was surging, and the battle of the valley played the bloody nature of these people, which greatly reduced the natural fear of the officers and soldiers, and also greatly increased Yu Zhilong's prestige in the army.

"Those who enter the city first will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" In front of the Zhilong army, he issued an order, "Those who kill 100 enemy households will be given 300 taels, and those who behead 1,000 enemy households will be given 600 taels!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" When the army heard this, they became even more excited, and hundreds of torches were waved one after another in the sound of killing. "Grandma, this kid is really a rich man now!" Liu Qi was angry, and muttered softly to Qin Zhanshan beside him.

The subordinates of Liu and Qin's subordinates were also hot-eyed, panting and looking at Liu and Qin one after another. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but they didn't expect Yu Zhilong to offer such a high reward, they were both leaders, and they naturally couldn't fall behind, after a little hesitation, the two of them also ordered, although they have less gold and silver now, many of them still rely on Yu Zhilong's transfer last time, but as long as they lay down Linqu City, the gold and silver in it are not at their disposal!

"Little rabbit cubs, if you want to get rich, you have to go to the city for Lao Tzu to get it! Whoever has the ability to eat meat, if you can't even drink the soup, get rid of Lao Tzu as soon as possible, Lao Tzu doesn't raise cowards here! Liu Qi viciously reprimanded his subordinates. Yu Zhilong couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard Liu Qi's words, but the big war was imminent, and this kind of Liu Qi's practice of encouraging morale was quite common, and now he could only drum up and not be discouraged, and let's talk about it after the war.

Yu Zhilong, Liu Qi and others turned over their horses, shook their horses, and whipped a few whips behind the horse's buttocks. From a distance, a dragon dragon suddenly appeared behind the village, followed by a dragon body, and the long fire dragon went straight to the south gate.

When Yu Zhilong and others decided to go straight to the city gate, the Han army garrison in the city was also in an uproar, Mingxiong and others touched the station, killed a few Mongolian soldiers to guard, and first quietly saw a few general flags and brand heads under his subordinates, explaining the intention.

For the sake of insurance, the beggar kept these low-ranking officers alone in a hut, but it invisibly helped Mingxiong. At the beginning, these subordinates also agreed to follow Mingxiong to start an incident, but when Mingxiong ordered them to go back separately to secretly gather their subordinates and gather everyone, there was a general banner that repented, not only did not encourage the soldiers to rebel, but instead withdrew and told the guards to the Mengbing General Banner, the general banner was shocked, and immediately ordered someone to report to the beggar that he learned, and at the same time immediately summoned the Han army and the righteous army in the same station, which was to surround Mingxiong and others.

Mingxiong had rebelled against about 50 people at this time, according to the confession of the captured Mongolian soldiers, all the weapons were confiscated in a brick house in the station, Mingxiong immediately led people to the place, directly killed a Mongolian soldier who guarded, smashed the door lock, broke in, everyone equipped with weapons, and was rushing out, when they heard the sound of horns, and then a large force of the Han army and the righteous army had been surrounded.

"Hugh is going to leave the anti-thief Mingxiong, take the anti-thief Mingxiong, and reward him heavily!"

The status of the Mongolian soldiers in the Han army has always been superior, the official position of the general banner is below the hundred households, above the head of the brand, although low, but the Han army and the righteous army of several hundred households officers are under its command, although Mingxiong and others are brave, but can not stand the other side of the many, gradually trapped in the encirclement. At this time, the sound of killing was loud, and the surrounding households were awakened in their sleep, and when they heard the sound of killing outside, they all thought that the thieves had entered the city, and the whole family was so frightened that they trembled and did not dare to go out.

The beggar and the county Yin Xie Lin soon learned about the situation here, and at the same time, it was also found in the prison that Mingxiong and his family had been robbed, and his own soldiers were also missing, leaving several bloody corpses of jailers in the house, and the black-faced Hades was also among them, and he was stabbed with an unknown number of knives. This black-faced Hades has always been black-hearted, and this evil finally saw the real Hades, and he deserved retribution!

The beggar was shocked when he heard in his bed that Mingxiong's subordinates in the city had openly rebelled! After knowing the urgent dispatch of the Mongolian army to 100 households, he still felt unsafe in his heart, and thought about it, and then urgently transferred a Han army from another place in the city to Mingxiong's headquarters to participate in the encirclement and suppression, and at the same time ordered most of the righteous army in the city to dispatch to encircle and suppress Mingxiong and others, and the rest of the troops rushed to the city to set up defenses. The officials of the county government are also all assembled, led by the county Yin, and are temporarily on standby in the county office. The beggar himself stayed in the house and was dispatched in the center. Before he had made up his mind after getting dressed and seated, someone from the south gate came to report quickly, and found that there were thieves who had raided the city gate, and had been killed with the officers and soldiers who defended it, and the city gate had been opened by the thieves, and the drawbridge had been lowered.

There was a burst of Venus in front of the beggar's eyes, and he almost fainted to the ground. The henchman hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and sat on the chair with the beggar in his arms, and the concubine in the inner room was even more disgraced when she heard the bad news behind the screen, so she was so anxious that she began to pack up the gold and silver.

The beggar covered his chest, only to feel his chest thumping, and said in a dumb voice: "The thief harms me, the thief harms me!" Wandering, he frowned for a while, asked if there was no movement at the north gate, and began to bow his head to consider whether to pack up now and escape from the north gate with his family.

Seeing that the old man bowed his head and was silent, he thought that he was thinking about a good way to destroy the thief, so he hurriedly stepped forward and reported again: "My lord, the south city gate just came to report, although the thieves attacked and opened the city gate, but the number of thieves is not very large, it is reported that we still have many officers and soldiers fighting with them at the city gate, as long as we hurry up to send troops to support, maybe it will be too late to recapture the city gate!" What's more, didn't the old man just now send a rebel army to the head of the city to assist in the defense? Is it to send another one to the south gate? ”

"Oh, oops, yes, yes, this official was confused for a while and lost his inch! Retaking the gates is the first priority for now, and thankfully you remind you that, as you said, there is still room for salvage. Someone came, and immediately ordered Timur to lead his team of 100 households to the south gate to support! If you can't take back the city gate, military law will be engaged! The encirclement and suppression of the thieves can be handed over to the command of his deputy. After thinking about it for a while, the beggar felt that it was not enough insurance, and then ordered the 100 households of the rebel army that went to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Mingxiong to change its mission and go directly with it, no longer participating in the battle of encircling and suppressing Mingxiong, but under the command of Timur.
