Chapter 47: The Great Fire of Macheng

The night is like ink, in the horse city, most of the Xianbei people who have been busy for a day have already slept, and on the city wall, there are only a few people leaning on the city tower with weapons for vigilance.

Because Ye Zhao has always besieged but not attacked in the past few days, even if he has an absolute advantage and can easily attack the city wall, the Han army is still indifferent, which makes many Xianbei soldiers have the illusion that the Han people will not attack.

However, in order to suppress the more and more unstable people, in Macheng, many people will still be arranged to patrol the night at night, especially after the people who went out of the city during the day were forced back by the Han army with bows and arrows, the mood of the people in the city was very unstable, and Lian was worried about these bad things.

A team of Xianbei people walked on the empty reception, the city was already filled with the smell of blood, and the horse city at night was quiet and a little treacherous, even if the brave Xianbei soldiers walked on this empty street, there was a feeling of numbness in the scalp.

"Instigation~"

The icy sound of breaking the air was mixed with the cold wind, faint, and an arrow cluster accurately pierced the throat of the leading Xianbei soldiers, and in front of the group, I don't know when a faint figure appeared, with a slender body, but with a bronze mask with a blue face and fangs, it looked extremely terrifying.

The Xianbei soldiers in the rear widened their eyes in horror, and opened their mouths wide to shout, but the next moment, I don't know when black shadows appeared around them, blocking their mouths with their palms, in the night, several cold rays accompanied by the blood that shot out of a flash, and the eyes of the Xianbei soldiers who widened their eyes suddenly opened angrily, and they stared forward unwillingly, and their pupils gradually dilated, and there was no sound in an instant.

Zhang Yue looked at this scene indifferently, until she was sure that everyone had lost their vitality, then she waved her hand indifferently, and the ten Xianbei warriors were quickly dragged into the shadows on both sides of the street, if it weren't for the blood thrown on the ground, these people seemed to have never appeared.

Zhang Yue looked around, and walked quickly towards the warehouse where the grain and materials were stored, like a raccoon cat, silently, as she advanced, black shadows continued to appear behind her like ghosts, and followed her towards the end of the street, although she did not run, but the speed was strangely fast, and in an instant, it disappeared at the end of the street.

Food and materials are the top priority for Helian today, Ye Zhao besieged the city, looking like he was going to trap him here, and he still hasn't figured out how to crack Ye Zhao's traps all over the city, and he can only be trapped here waiting for rescue at the moment, so grain and grass have become the top priority, and Lian has arranged five hundred Xianbei soldiers to be responsible for guarding here, if he wants to attack, even Zhang Yue, who has been personally trained by Ye Zhao, is not sure to take down the granary without alarming anyone.

Looking at the heavily guarded granary in the distance, Zhang Yue was silent for a moment, then gestured a few times to the people behind him, and a group of people scattered like ghosts and quickly disappeared.

……

He Lian in his sleep was a little irritable, and he was angry during the day because of the matter of trapping the horse pit, and scolded the people who could scold, and even killed several people to vent his anger, plus he lingered in the gentle countryside for several days, and his body weakened a lot, and he sank into sleep after night, and even when the shouting outside in the middle of the night did not wake him up, but there was an unspeakable heat in the air, which made the sleeping Helian toss and turn, and did not wake up the sleeping Helian until the guards came in.

"What happened?" Listening to the noise coming from outside the door, He Lian was in a terrible mood, and since the Han army came, it seemed that nothing had happened that made him feel comfortable.

"Oh no, king, there are fires everywhere in the city." The guard shouted anxiously.

"Then let those people fight the fire, they can't do a little thing, do they still expect us to help them put out the fire?" He Lian sneered, the events of the day made He Lian very annoyed, if it weren't for the fact that these people were afraid of death, they could have helped them pave a way to live, but these damn wastes were scared back by the other party after a few rounds of arrow rain, which made He Lian very dissatisfied.

"King, the fire is too big, if it is not extinguished in time, I am afraid it will burn us!" The guard said anxiously.

"So serious?" He Lian frowned, hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of the room, as soon as he went out, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him, and when he entered the eyes, the entire mansion was already illuminated by the fires lit on all sides.

"How so? Who set the fire? He Lian quickly realized that something was wrong, such a big fire was by no means as simple as a fire, I was afraid that someone deliberately set it on fire, after thinking of something, He Lian's face changed greatly, and he said sharply: "Is there any movement in the Han army?" ”

"No, people have been sent to the city to investigate, and so far, there has been no movement of the Han army." A general who came rushing loudly shouted: "King, send someone to put out the fire, if it continues to burn like this, the whole city will be burned down." ”

When Ye Zhao expanded Macheng, he actually wanted to build it with stone as the main body, but unfortunately, in the era when there was no cement, even the city walls were built with rammed earth as the main body, not to mention private houses, so the buildings in the city, except for some main buildings, were basically wooden structures, which were easy to ignite.

"Firefighting! Fire! He Lian can't care about his previous words at the moment, if he continues to burn like this, Ma Cheng will really have nothing, and he will still rely on this city to stalemate with Ye Zhao.

"Boom~"

The Xianbei soldiers were stationed very loosely in the city, and just when Helian anxiously commanded all the people and horses to start all over the city to help put out the fire, a cluster of earth-shattering fire suddenly broke out in a place not far from the county office, accompanied by a sound of air explosion that startled the busy people in the county office.

He Lian's heart sank for no reason, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the place where the fire suddenly erupted, and he faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Oh no, king! There is a granary! After being slightly stunned, a leader quickly reacted, looked at He Lian anxiously and said loudly.

"What!?" He Lian's head was stunned, and then he shouted: "Quick! Go and give the order, everyone go and save the granary. ”

"Yes!" Everyone realized the seriousness of the problem, and the soldiers and horses that had been scattered throughout the city to start fighting the fire were quickly recalled, and the entire horse city was in chaos.

At the same time, in the south of Macheng, such a big movement in the city, Li Xing naturally discovered it.

"General, this is a godsend!" A military Sima looked at Li Xingdao excitedly.

Li Xing nodded, Macheng was in chaos, this was a good opportunity, and he was about to give an order, but when he saw a fast horse galloping, Meng Hu jumped off the horse, came to Li Xing's side, and arched his hand: "The general has an order, Li Xing's lieutenant must not move lightly, just keep it!" ”

"Dare I ask why?" Li Xing frowned, and looked at Meng Hu dissatisfied, this is a great opportunity to break the city.

"The general didn't say, please Captain Li carry out the military order!" Meng Hu said in a deep voice.

"I want to see the general!" Li Xing's face sank, and he took a step forward and said coldly.

"Yes, but the headquarters must not be moved!"
