CHAPTER XXXVI
The mountain breeze blows, and the flames that rise from the white rock mountain sway with the wind.
The sparks splashed wildly, igniting the dead grass and trees around them, and the fire continued to spread.
When Wang Yu and the others withdrew from the mountain pass, most of the mountain was engulfed in flames. Steaming smoke, pillars of fire......
Wang Yu stood in front of Qin Gang's camp and looked at the sky-high fire, and sighed, "I hope it will end soon!" ”
"My lord! The mountain fire is large, although there is all the equipment can not be stopped, so I can arrange for all the staff of Baiyanzhai to retreat, but due to the urgency of time, my Baiyanzhai materials are afraid of being burned! ”
"Can all the people in Baiyanzhai be evacuated? The materials are burned and burned, not very tight, can the personnel be properly arranged? ”
"Because of the timely evacuation and no one was left behind, the arrangements were made properly, but everyone regarded Baiyanzhai as home, and now Baiyanzhai was engulfed by mountain fires, and everyone was homeless and depressed, and many people were crying."
"Hey! It's really a mountain wind and a mountain wind, tonight's sudden wind helped us and others easily wipe out the invading Qin Gang army, but it also burned my Baiyan Village, so the result is really my fault! “
"The lord doesn't need to blame himself, people are not as good as the sky, now although Baiyanzhai has been burned, but at least our lives are worry-free, but such a fire is difficult to quell for a while, plus Qin Gang's army tens of thousands of people were buried in the sea of fire, this place is afraid of resentment and is not suitable for living, and the lord needs to arrange it as soon as possible!"
"Hmmm! ……“
"It makes sense, now that the people of Baiyanzhai are homeless because of me, I should give them a safe home, since Qingzhou Thorn Shi offended me Baiyanzhai for no reason, then I always have to pay a little price......"
"What do you mean? ……”
"Beihai City has been carefully covered after more than half a year of operation, and we also know the basic situation in the city, and now we have 20,000 male soldiers, and more than 1,000 soldiers in Beihai District are not worth mentioning, so I will occupy Beihai City, and first collect some interest from Liu Xuan!"
"The Beihai soldiers are really not worth mentioning, but our attack on Beihai City is against the entire Great Jin, and the time will ......."
"Humph! Now that we are waiting to exterminate the 50,000 army of Qingzhou Thorn History, we have already faced the imperial court, anyway, there are more lice and no itching, so I am not afraid of more comes! ”
……
"What! Qin Gang's 50,000-strong army was annihilated! That's an army of 50,000! All dead in one night? It's 50,000 pigs to be slaughtered, and you can't kill them all in one night! “
That night, the fire in Baiyanzhai was so bright that half of the night sky was also printed red, and even Beihai City, which was a hundred miles away, could faintly see the firelight, and Beihai Taishou immediately ordered a thorough investigation, and immediately got the news that Qin Gang's army was wiped out.
"There are unjust debtors and owners, don't count the accounts on my head for that group of murderers in Baiyan Village! I only received Qin Gang's army for a few days, and everything was arranged by Liu Xuan!" Since hearing that Qin Gang's army was destroyed and Baiyanzhai Cottage was engulfed in flames, Beihai Taishou was in a panic, because he felt that Baiyanzhai would definitely come to take revenge, and prayed day and night that the object of Baiyanzhai's revenge was not himself.
The night was as dark as ink, and the sky was dark.
At the east gate of Beihai City, several county soldiers who were keeping vigil were drowsy next to the fire, and suddenly they were awakened by a noisy sound from under the city wall, and they climbed the female wall to look out, and saw a wave of people and horses coming from the east, the number of about 100 people, from the light of a few torches, they were ragged but could also be seen from the damaged place It was the Great Jin military uniform.
"Huh! Another batch of remnants? ”
"What a sin! The 50,000 army was burned to pieces, and only a handful of them were able to escape! ”
"Who said no, the group of fierce gods in Baiyan Village are really ruthless, I heard that this fire burned the entire Baiyan Mountain!"
"yes, yes! I also heard that the current Baiyan Mountain is like a hell on earth, and from time to time the unjustly killed officials and soldiers wander in the mountains! ”
A few people were chatting, the group of officers and soldiers came to the city gate, the first one shouted, "Brother on the city tower, we are the defeated army in front, after the army was burned by Baiyanzhai, we are afraid of Baiyanzhai pursuit, only dare to go out day and night, we haven't eaten decent things for two days, you hurry up and open the door!" ”
"Yes! Open the door! ”
Behind the man, a hundred and ten defeated troops also shouted weakly.
"Tsk! What a wickedness, wait, and this will open the door to you! ”
In the past few days, the remnants of the defeated soldiers have fled back, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate have long been surprised, without the slightest suspicion, several people hurriedly went down the city wall and opened the city gate.
……
In the backyard of the county government, the lights in Tao Zheng's room are still on, Tao Zheng has been frightened these days, and today he is finally a little interested, and Xinna's concubine accompanies him to drink and have fun, and now it is late at night, Tao Zheng is preparing to take the concubine to Wushan to relax and relax his nervous mood recently.
Suddenly, the housekeeper's panicked shouts sounded outside the room: "Master, it's not good, the thieves have entered the city." ”
In the silence of the night, the butler's voice was sharp and poignant, and the news conveyed was so terrifying that the family members on duty in the backyard jumped in shock.
Tao Zheng was also taken aback, and almost fell off the Qiluo bed, and when he came back to his senses, he remembered that this is Beihai County within the high wall and deep ditch, but it is not a wild field without danger to defend, even if there are tens of thousands of thieves to attack, it is difficult to capture it in a hurry! Chen Zhen said angrily: "Butler, you are in a daze, what nonsense are you talking about? ”
"Bang dang."
The door of the study was pushed open by someone, and the butler had stumbled in, and under the flickering candlelight, Tao Zheng and the concubine were surprised to see a face that did not look like a human shape, the butler was sweating profusely, his clothes were disheveled, and his cloudy eyes were revealing endless fear, as if the end of the world had come.
"Old ...... Master, the thief is really ...... It's really already in town! ”
Tao Zheng was shocked, and asked with a gloomy face: "Nonsense, where did the thieves come from?" And how did you get into the city? ”
The butler swallowed, wiped the sweat from his face, and said, "Little ...... The little one didn't know, but he met a few military masters who fled at the Dongzhi Gate and said that the East Gate had been lost, and the big team of thieves was about to enter the city. ”
In just such a moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the county office, and the voice of crying father and mother gradually sounded into one, and there was also a sky-high fire from the east, reflecting the window of the study, and the blazing firelight passed through the window and reflected on Tao Zheng's pale face, Tao Zheng was shocked, "It's over!" I guessed it! The Baiyanzhai bandits are coming! ”
