The quiet night is a little too quiet, and even the night owls on weekdays are silent tonight, and I don't know if I feel a strong Xiao Kill far away.

Not long after, hundreds of people came quickly next to the fire-setting platform in Jingtu Mountain, quickly cleaned up the place, built a simple pavilion with grass and trees, and then quietly guarded the surroundings.

About an hour or two later, two or three hundred people came again, and in the middle of everyone was a heroic general wearing battle armor all over his body, with an unusually handsome face, it was Zhou Yu.

Walking up to the top of the mountain, wishing for Huaishui, a long black shadow on the river surface lies on the surface of the water like a huge evil dragon in the water, as if waiting for the arrival of its prey, exuding bursts of heart-palpitating evil aura. Looking to the east, the tops of the two towering mountains plunged into the sky like sword blades, and they were extremely abrupt in the night sky, but all of this was very wonderful in Zhou Yu's opinion at the moment.

After walking around the top of the mountain, Zhou Yu finally sat down on the straw couch in the pavilion, stretched out a hand, and immediately a soldier next to him took out a pot of wine and brought it to his hand.

Zhou Yu took a sip, nodded, smiled and said softly, "Well, that's good!" ”

The pro-soldier next to him immediately knelt down happily and thanked him: "The majority of the governors praise falsely, and the small responsibilities lie!" ”

Just after Zhou Yu sat quietly for a while, a capable young general came quickly, knelt down and bowed: "Governor, all the people are in place, please give an order!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately stood up, his face was solemn, his right hand held the sword, he drew the sword in his hand with a "stab" sound, and swung it forward, the long sword pointed directly at the small city of Yicheng a few miles away, and a loud shout instantly sounded: "Huishu, light the beacon fire!" ”

"No!" The young general instantly ran to the side with a solemn face, took a torch that had not yet been lit from the soldier's hand, lit it on the oil lamp next to him, and threw it on the beacon tower.

The beacon tower, also known as the beacon, commonly known as the beacon, the chimney, the pier, is a strategic building in ancient China, generally built in a dangerous place or on a traffic artery. In ancient times, once the enemy situation was discovered, if it was in the daytime, it would burn firewood and grass mixed with dung to release thick smoke; If it is at night, dry wood with sulfur and saltpeter is burned to make the fire bright, and the rear will see that there is a war, and then send troops to help.

"Boom!" As the torches fell, a burst of smoke burst from the beacon tower, and under the action of sulfur and saltpeter, a fire burst into flames. The firelight was so dazzling and scary at night.

"Whew-"

When the fire lit up, it sent a signal to attack, and the evil Jiao on the water instantly moved, and a horn sound that pierced the sky sounded.

"Attack!"

The boats on the river quickly approached the shore. And in the city and the water village, the cry of vigilance also sounded in an instant, and the night was completely boiling.

However, what shocked the defenders of the city even more was that there was also a fire on Wangshan Mountain in the south, and now there were enemy troops in one direction, which made their heads, which had not felt the battle for nearly two years, instantly feel like it was about to burst.

"Report to the General! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

But this is not the end, just when the soldiers who are about to go to report have not yet stepped down the city wall, the beacon tower on the top of the snowy mountain in the southeast direction is also lit up with dazzling fire! Enemies from three sides were an unprecedented event, and everyone in the city only felt their scalps tingling.

A middle-aged general at the head of the city instantly turned pale and terrifying, looked at the extremely terrifying red light in the night sky on three sides, and muttered to himself: "Is it possible that my Cangci is going to end this life like this?" ”

But Cang Ci did not dare to stay long, and immediately patrolled everywhere, and ordered all his men to be on guard, because he had just heard the sound of killing from the north, and he was glad that the enemy from the south had not yet arrived.

Perhaps in response to Cang Ci's heart, just after the person who went to report had just left, two loud killing sounds instantly sounded in the south and southeast directions, like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, and his heart suddenly sank directly, and his face was extremely pale.

The sound of killing soon reached the city, and countless enemies like ants swarmed towards the city, Cang Ci couldn't be afraid, so he could only force the spirit to organize the defenders to block the enemy: "Release the arrows!" Hurry up and release the arrows! Stop them! ”

On the top of Jingtu Mountain, Zhou Yu watched the busyness and panic of the city under the mountain for a long time, and his heart was extremely happy, and he said to the young general next to him: "Huishu, how long do you think it will take to break through this city?" ”

The general, who had been smiling lightly, was a little embarrassed when he came to take the horse, and finally said: "Governor, please forgive Wen for being stupid and not daring to talk about it!" ”

Zhou Yu shook his head, he didn't like Zhang Wen's pedantic habit of being submissive, and then said, "But it's okay to say it!" ”

Zhang Wen had no choice but to say: "In normal times, this kind of small city defense is naturally not difficult to break, and it will take at most two hours to conquer it." However, the location of Yicheng is critical, it has been in operation for a long time, and the defender Zhang Liao has been in battle for a long time, so it must be a tight defense, and its reputation must be a great encouragement to the defenders. ”

Zhou Yu smiled and was noncommittal about Zhang Wen's remarks. His attack on Yicheng was indeed to divide the south of Huaishui into Wu land, but another purpose was to have a good competition with Zhang Wenyuan, who was highly valued by Cao Cao. Zhang Wen's talent is indeed good, but it's a pity that the book reading is too rigid, and he looks like a private school gentleman, old-fashioned, otherwise he can inherit his mantle and accept a student, it's a pity!

Zhang Liao was dreaming on the couch, and suddenly, the drums and gongs sounded in his ears, and the noise instantly dragged him out of his dream.

Zhang Liaoteng sat up, his eyes had not yet opened, his ears had been erected, and he listened attentively, and the sound of drums and shouting and killing became clearer.

Could it be that the enemy is attacking at night?

The body shook, and the drowsiness of the whole body disappeared.

Zhang Liao jumped up from the couch, ran through the room without even putting on his shoes, tore open the door with a hula, and shouted: "Come on, pass my order quickly, and the whole army will go to the city to prepare for war!" ”

Mo said that it was Zhang Liao, even the entire mansion, and even the people and defenders of the entire Yicheng were awakened by this sudden shouting and killing.

At this moment, a sergeant rushed in at the door, and when he saw Zhang Liao, he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Report to the general, there is an enemy attacking in the North Gate Water Village, and there is a battle at this moment!" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Liao to give an order, three or five people rushed into the door again, and knelt on the ground together: "Report to the general, the beacon fire of Wangshan in the south of the city is ignited, and the enemy is coming!" ”

"Report to the general, the beacon fire of the snow-capped mountains in the southeast of the city is lit up, and the enemy is coming!"

"Report to the general, there are enemies in the south and southeast of the city to kill the city, it has been carried out, please give the general an order to defend the city!"
