In the early morning, the rebels again deployed their troops in front of the west gate, and the generals were deploying a new round of offensive.

Li Shun, who was clearly dressed and armored, stood in the middle of the formation, looking at the magnificent city wall from afar, his face was a little solemn, and he was about to give the order to attack, but he saw Wu Lishe, the vanguard general who should have commanded in front of the formation, walking towards him quickly.

"What?" Li Shun looked at Wu Lishe, who was suspicious, and asked.

"General Ying Tian is well." Wu Li saluted, and then said with a slight hesitation: "This morning, a comrade picked up a piece of silk on the side of the road, and just handed it to me. As he spoke, he handed the bloodstained silk cloth he was holding in his hand to Li Shun.

Li Shun took it and opened it for a closer look, his face suddenly showed joy, and his eyes were a little moved, and he couldn't help muttering: "Good brother." ”

"Where did that comrade find this silk?" Li Shun asked.

Wu Lishe hurriedly said: "It is said that it is on the side of the road from here, less than a mile away." Then he was a little puzzled: "Is this credible?" What does Qingcheng Snow Bud mean? ”

"Rest assured, totally credible." When the two met for the first time, Wang Ran claimed that his tea was not as bad as Emei Xueya, and later Li Shun joked that this tea was not called Qingcheng Xueya, so seeing these four words, Li Shun understood that this silk must have been left by Wang Ran, and of course Li Shun would not tell Wu Li in detail.

"Shall we start the siege now?" Wu Lishe saw that the sky was shining, so he asked Li Shun for instructions by the way.

"Well, I'm ready to start, but I won't do a strong attack today, use catapults, bows and arrows to disturb the enemy, and let the brothers feint a few times to minimize casualties." Li Shun said firmly, then waved his hand to call Wu Lishe to him, and gave another detailed order.

…

Wang Ran leaned on the wooden stack and took a nap, he almost didn't rest all night last night, he had just been busy carrying the baggage for a long time, Rao was young and strong and was very tired at this time, so he took advantage of this time to take a break and seize the time to rest.

"Bang... Bang... Bang" There was a drumming sound outside the city wall, Wang Ran opened his eyes lightly, and saw that the other people around him were all solemn, and their mood was also a little heavy, and the rebels were about to start attacking the city again.

After waiting for a while but not hearing the sound of rushing and killing, everyone couldn't help but feel a little strange, and was scratching their heads, when they suddenly heard a cry that resounded through the sky: "Yet... Correct... Correct... However..."

Everyone was even more puzzled, and couldn't help but stumble to each other: "What does burning mean?" Will they be able to attack it by fire? Didn't you do it before, why did you make such a big splash today? ”

Wang Ran closed his eyes again with peace of mind and continued to rest, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, it seemed that Brother Wang and they had picked up the cloth.

It was another day of fierce fighting, but the offensive of the opposing army today was not as fierce as usual, and they gave up after several unsuccessful attacks, but the stone throwing and arrow attacks would come from time to time, so that the officers and soldiers defending the city did not dare to relax.

When night fell, the rebels collected their troops and returned to the camp, and the officers and soldiers defending the city and the people were also able to take a breather and rest, Wang Ran still hid in the dark, and waited until the dead of night to touch the vicinity of the hidden soldier cave. There was an officer and soldier guarding the cave gate at this time, and Wang Ran had to wait patiently, hoping that the soldier would fall asleep later.

But after waiting for a long time, the soldier standing guard on the steps was already snoring like thunder, but the soldier guarding the cave door was still in good spirits, which made Wang Ran anxious. was hesitating to give up, but saw the soldier suddenly yawn, then turned around and went into the cave door, and after waiting for a while and not coming out, Wang Ran cautiously sneaked over, and heard a faint snoring sound in the cave.

Wang Ran felt into the cave, and by the sound of snoring, he was sure that the soldier was resting in the cellar, and carefully crossed the mouth of the cellar, until the first fork was passed, and then the oil lamp was lit and walked quickly.

With the mark left when he came back yesterday, Wang Ran's travel speed increased a lot, and when he got out of the hole, he tied the rope he stole during the day with the rope left at the entrance of the cave yesterday, and then tied it to the tree at the entrance of the cave, and quickly climbed down the cliff, Wang Ran ran ran towards the official road.

As soon as he arrived at the side of the official road, he was about to run in the direction of the anti-army camp, when he suddenly heard a call: "Brother Wang." ”

Wang Ran was taken aback, and immediately raised his eyebrows, followed the sound and looked, only to see a team of people and horses rushing out of the shade of the trees on the side of the road, and it was Li Shun who was the first, and then Li Jun, who was unveiled in Xichun Garden at the beginning, and the rest were all strong soldiers.

Wang Ran and Li Shun, who had been reunited after a long absence, hugged each other and patted each other's backs hard, Li Shun held Wang Ran's shoulders and couldn't help but say happily: "Good brother, how are you doing in this Jinguan City?" So how did things go? ”

"It's hard to say, it's not far from dawn now, let's sneak in for some time, and when you attack the city, pull Brother Wang and the three of us to talk about our hearts." Wang Ran pressed and said excitedly.

Li Shun suddenly showed sadness, sighed, and said sadly: "When I was fighting with the official army in Jiangyuan in the first half of the year, my brother-in-law was accidentally hit by Zhang Xi's cold arrow, and he continued to command the battle despite his injuries. went. ”

Wang Ran suddenly heard the bad news, and couldn't help but be saddened, Wang Xiaobo, who treated him like a brother and a father, actually died, although he knew that their uprising and rebellion must be dangerous, but it was expected that Wang Xiaobo, as the leader, should not easily risk his life, compared to what he was more worried about was Li Shun's safety. Later, when Wang Ran heard that the rebels were breaking through all the way, he thought that Wang Xiaobo was unharmed, and Li Shun was strong in martial arts, so he should be able to save the day.

After a moment of silence, Li Jun behind Li Shun comforted: "General, Brother Wang Qi mourns, Brother Wang is in the spirit of heaven, knowing that we can achieve today's achievements, I think we will also be gratified." ”

Li Shunqiang said: "Yes, in this case, we should take this Chengdu Mansion to fulfill my brother-in-law's long-cherished wish." ”

Wang Ran also restrained his emotions, pointed to the cliff at the exit of the Tibetan Soldier Cave and said: "That hole leads to the city, the exit is under the corner tower on the east side, Brother Wang, you can send someone to sneak in with me, and take advantage of the siege of the city to sneak attack from the inside, and then you can break the door and seize the city." ”

"It's ready, Li Jun will sneak in with you with these brothers." Li Shun pointed to the military man behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Fifty people, all of them are first-class good players, with their cooperation in the city, our army can break through the city gate in an instant." ”

"Alright, without further ado, let's go now." Wang Ran said awe-inspiringly.

"Good brother, take care, let's get together again after the city is broken." Li Shun patted Wang Ran on the shoulder.

"Second Brother Li, take care too." Wang Ran gave his hand, then turned around and walked towards the cliff, Li Jun immediately led people to follow, Li Shun also followed to the bottom of the cliff, and saw that everyone had successfully climbed into the cave before turning around and returning to the camp.

Wang Ran took this strange soldier through the cave in silence for about half an hour, and after the last fork to let everyone wait, he sneaked to the cellar near the entrance, and made sure that the soldier who had slept here before was nowhere to be seen, so he led everyone to hide in the cellar temporarily, and only took Li Jun to the exit to listen to the situation outside, and after making sure that there was nothing abnormal outside, the two returned to the cellar.

Wang Ran calculated the time and said softly to Li Jun: "It is estimated that the sky will be bright in about an hour." ”

"As soon as the day shines, the generals will send troops to attack the city, and when the time comes, we will first kill the corner tower to receive the brothers outside the city to the city, and then go to seize the gate." Li Jun replied softly, and then said earnestly: "Brother Wang, before the general leaves, I will take care of you, and then you will hide here, and you don't have to fight with me and others." ”

Wang Ran was silent for a moment, then agreed. He is not afraid of killing, but he also knows that the role he can play in this kind of fight is very limited, Li Jun and the others have been in battle for a long time, and they have tacit cooperation, and they may cause them to interfere if they join rashly.

Li Jun ordered fifty more strange soldiers to check the equipment, and then seize the time to rest and conserve their strength, and there was silence in the cellar, only the sound of heavy breathing came and went.

The faint morning light sprinkled in front of the entrance of the cave, and after a while, there was the sound of drums and fighting, and Wang Ran, who was squatting at the entrance of the cave, turned around and touched the mouth of the cellar, and said softly: "The siege has begun." ”

"Let's go." Li Jun shouted, although his voice was soft, but he looked very excited, Wang Ran stepped aside, and waited for everyone to come out of the cellar and then follow.

Li Jun heard the shouting and killing sound from the corner tower, so he did not hesitate to lead people out of the cave to kill, Wang Ran stood in the cave, waiting silently.
