At dawn, everything is quiet. "Say.2.

In the sky, it seems that even the howling cold wind has stopped.

In the city wall, the rumbling war drums suddenly sounded, and in an instant, the tranquility of Kaifeng City was broken.

The sleeping people, without exception, were woken up by the sudden sound of snare drums!

Attacked by Yan Cavalry last night, the people were panicked, heard the sound of military drums, woke up, quickly dressed, picked up the equipment that could be defended around him, hid at home, cheered up, stared at the outside with both eyes, pricked up his ears, and listened to the movement outside.

However, except for the rumbling of military drums, which echoed in the city, Kaifeng City in the dark night was still quiet.

However, the people in the turtle house, looking through the crack in the door and through the window, vaguely noticed that in the sky, there was a bright fire that pierced the sky and slowly descended from the sky.

Some drifted into the distance, and some fell into their own courtyards, in contact with the firewood stored for winter heating, **, crackling, whirring flames, illuminating the courtyard.

At this time, a brave young man, holding a stick in his hand or a sharp knife in his hand, carefully opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

I saw that the sky seemed to explode, and the air was densely packed with fire, falling from the sky continuously, like a meteor crossing the sky, and after landing, it caused a huge fire.

This flame continued from the west of the city to the middle of the city, moving straight towards the palace.

Knowing that the Yan army repeated its old tricks and attacked the city with fire, the people in the city did not dare to stay, acted quickly, and gradually participated in the operation to extinguish the flames.

The whole city was noisy and shouting, full of screams and shouts, which was more lively than Kaifeng City during the day.

In the palace of the empress, it is heavily guarded.

When the fire fell from the sky, the guards in the palace did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly acted to extinguish the flames everywhere in the palace.

In her sleep, Lin Shuying was awakened by the sound of drums outside, and sat up directly in the show bed, covered in sweat.

With a creak, Mingyue, the palace maid, pushed open the palace door, hurriedly moved, walked into Lin Shuying's bedroom, bowed and saluted, and said in a panicked manner: "Your Majesty, the Yan army is coming, rushing straight to the palace, and the slave and maid will protect you from leaving." ”

Lin Shuying's literacy, when he was changing clothes, the movements in his hands suddenly stopped, he turned his head and his face condensed, and asked: "Mingyue, the Yan army broke through the West Gate and forcibly broke into the city?" ”

Worried about the attack of the Yan army, Lin Shuying fell asleep in the second half of the night, she didn't believe that the Yan army broke through the defense formed by Li Mu, Liang Chengming, and Song Qi's heavy troops so quickly.

If you are lucky enough to come in, it is impossible to be silent and not make any movement.

However, the noisy and tense atmosphere in the palace still made Lin Shuying worried.

"Your Majesty, the Yan army has not yet broken through the city, and there is no trace of the Yan army in the city. However, the Yan army repeated its old tricks, setting fire to the city in the air, and the dense fire in the air extended from the military camp in the west of the city to the direction of the palace, and was moving towards the empress's palace.

Wherever the Yan army passed, they frantically threw fire balls, the weather was dry, and when they encountered fire balls, they caught fire one after another, and the guards reported that many places in the city were on fire. Mingyue reported the situation in the city to Lin Shuying in detail, and she was full of anxiety in her face.

Yan Jun's method of air attack is helpless even for a master like her who is proficient in martial arts, let alone ordinary people.

She was very worried that the Yan army would set fire, and after dawn, the prosperous imperial city would be burned to the ground.

Lin Shuying heard the sound, the cold air in his face gradually dissipated, he tidied up his clothes without hurrying, changed his dragon robe, and chuckled: "Emperor Yan is in a hurry, it must be Song Qi, Li Mu, and Liang Chengming who have a tight defense, so that the Yan army and the tiger eat the sky and can't be caught, so Emperor Yan attacked Kaifeng City." ”

"Your Majesty, no matter what Emperor Yan's purpose is, you must withdraw from the palace quickly!" Mingyue was anxious and hurriedly urged.

She couldn't control Lin Feng's thoughts, and she didn't have the patience to care, at this time, she just wanted to protect Lin Shuying from danger.

However, Lin Shuying was not in a hurry, tonight, the more fierce the Yan army's attack, the more proof Lin Feng realized that the Yan army was in a difficult situation.

The current situation is unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty, and if it continues to be consumed, it will clear the gloom and see the bright moon, and whether the Great Song Dynasty will come to the Great Song Dynasty.

Yes!

During the conversation, outside the dormitory, there was a sudden scream, and soon, the screams turned into miserable cries for help, which was terrifying.

Hearing the sound, Lin Shuying, who was tidying up his clothes, sank his face, subconsciously picked up the wooden basin in front of the dresser, and hurriedly walked outside the bedroom.

After more than ten arrow steps, Lin Shuying and Mingyue rushed out of the bedroom, and saw the ground of the palace, scattered sparks burning, and a famous eunuch was wrapped in flames, screaming miserably, rolling back and forth on the ground.

Lin Shuying's face was cold, and he couldn't help but gasp, Yan Qi acted so fast, and in the blink of an eye, he moved over the Empress Palace.

On the side, Mingyue walked forward, took the wooden basin in Lin Shuying's hand, poured the water in the wooden basin on the eunuch, burned the flames, made a noise, and gradually extinguished.

The little eunuch escaped death and picked up a life.

However, for Lin Shuying, this was only the beginning, after she appeared, the fire in the sky not only did not lessen, but on the contrary, it became denser and denser.

The fire ball fell in the wind and hit the bluestone slab hard, the fire ball scattered, and the sparks splashed everywhere, and the damage was not great.

If you are unfortunate enough to fall into the flowers, the fire will burn, igniting the dry branches of the winter flowers, and for a while, the fire will spread in all directions.

Lin Shuying stood quietly in front of the door of the dormitory, looking up at the sky, a large ball of flames fell from the sky in front of him, but there was nothing he could do.

However, during the detailed observation, Lin Shuying noticed that the flight altitude of the Yan army was not high, about 100 zhang, and if it was in the daytime, it would be clearly visible.

Under the dark sky, with the firelight above, it was still easy to capture the movement of the Yan army.

For a while, Lin Shuying couldn't help but be angry, Yan Jun was despicable, attacked in front of Song Jun's eyes, and couldn't help but stomp his feet again and again.

Witnessing the eunuchs and maids in the palace, encountering the flames, they looked flustered, and in the empress's palace, they ran around and screamed.

Lin Shuying couldn't help but order: "Mingyue, the herald, the eunuchs and maids in the palace, quickly fetch water to extinguish the fire, and then dare to leave their posts without permission, kill!" ”

"Yes!" Mingyue Jaw, the figure was extremely fast, moved more than ten steps away, captured the famous Canghuang and escaped from the eunuch, and conveyed Lin Shuying's orders.

Soon, Mingyue returned to Lin Shuying's side, and Lin Shuying continued to order: "Send a notice to the guards, place bed crossbows in all high-rise buildings in the city, and look for opportunities to shoot down the Yan army in the sky." ”

The flying equipment that Yan Jun was riding on was far from the same height as before.

Lin Shuying believed that with the range of the bed crossbow made by the Great Song Dynasty, as long as he chose the right position, he would definitely have the opportunity to shoot down the Yan army's hot air balloon.

"Your Majesty, how is this possible?" Mingyue heard the sound and suspected Lin Shuying's orders.

The Yan army follows the flying machine, like a bird moving in the air, which is difficult to catch, let alone shoot with a bed crossbow.

However, Lin Shuying had a strong attitude and said domineeringly: "According to my orders, if you make proper arrangements, you will definitely succeed." ”

Mingyue was in a hurry, but she was not in a hurry to leave, and still persuaded her: "Your Majesty, it is not advisable to stay in the palace for a long time, and the leader must leave with me." ”

Although Lin Shuying ordered that all palace maids and eunuchs must perform their duties and extinguish the flames in the palace.

However, there were too many fires in the sky, and the water source was far away, so it was difficult for the eunuchs and palace maids to take care of them.

A fire in the Empress Palace is inevitable, once it is not handled carefully, the Empress Palace may be engulfed in flames, and Lin Shuying is in danger in the palace.

When the Song Kingdom is in danger, she needs to preside over the overall situation, and there must be no accidents.

"Lin Feng, this bastard, one day, I will definitely burn Yanjing City." Lin Shuying stomped his feet and scolded angrily, his eyes glanced at the Fire Palace, and he moved: "Go to the West Gate with me." ”

Hearing the sound, Mingyue did not stop it, and quickly summoned guards from all sides to convey Lin Shuying's order, on the one hand, he wanted to shoot the Yan army, and on the other hand, he formed a strict protection and escorted Lin Shuying to the west gate.

The Yan army used flames to attack, and the Empress Palace became the focus of the Yan Army's attack, in Mingyue's eyes, Kaifeng City, anywhere, was safer than the Empress Palace.

Lin Shuying was under the protection of the guards, riding in the dragon chariot, and hurriedly went to the west gate, her expression was unwavering, and she fled from the empress's palace, but she was slightly embarrassed.

Thousands of guards, front and back, left and right to protect the dragon chariot, along the central street, along the way, there are flames blocking, the forward guards quickly stepped forward, trying to extinguish, to ensure that Lin Shuying dragon chariot is worry-free.

The fire in the sky fell intermittently, and many guards were unfortunately injured, but they could not change their firm will to protect Lin Shuying.

Similarly, on both sides of the street, many bustling restaurants and grand chambers of commerce are surrounded by flames when the fire falls, like a weak giant, at the mercy of bullying.

In the alleys on both sides of the street, from time to time, people rushed out in a panic, helpless and distracted, staying on the central street to avoid the flames from the sky.

At this time, in Kaifeng City, it has not yet turned into flames, but there are countless fire sources, which are like sparks spreading everywhere in the city.

If it is not extinguished quickly, soon, Kaifeng City will be completely engulfed in flames, and the prosperous Kaifeng City will be buried in flames.

Long Yuan walked forward, and when he saw the situation in the city, Lin Shuying's face became more and more angry.

After the operation of the emperors of the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng City has dense business and travel exchanges, and there are many chaebol chambers of commerce, which is the most prosperous city in the north.

Among them, there is an inexhaustible wealth of a large number of carefully built Qingtai pavilions, and countless statues carved from white jade.

All this, at this moment, is gradually surrounded by flames, and if the flames are not extinguished in time, the things that the predecessors spent so much effort to build are likely to be destroyed in the flames.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lin Shuying came to the west gate quickly, ignoring the fire balls that fell in the sky from time to time, and moved to the city tower.

In the West Gate Tower, Song Qi faced the cold wind, sat in the city tower, holding a wine glass in his hand, his eyes were like sharp arrows, staring at the outside of the city in a daze, paying close attention to the changes outside the city.

Lin Shuying hurriedly came to the city tower, saw Song Qi's demeanor, and asked bluntly: "How is it, is there a Yanyan riding outside the city?" ”

The situation in Kaifeng City is already very bad, if there are Yan horses outside the city, and the inside and outside are worried, things will become more and more troublesome.

"For the time being, there has been no trace of Yan Cai, but the northern and southern military camps have encountered similar encounters in the city, threatened by fire, and it is not certain whether Yan Qi will make a surprise attack." Song Qi did not hesitate to report the situation inside and outside the city to Lin Shuying.
