The Chinese Dynasty believes in Buddhism, there are many temples of all sizes in the city of Mingzhou, in addition to some large temples, there are also many people who give up their homes to build temples, Nan'an Temple is one of them, it was originally just a prince's garden in the Chinese Dynasty, the political situation is turbulent, the prince is in trouble, he donated the house, built a small temple, and now it has become a scenery in the city of Mingzhou, but since Tianhu besieged the city, it has long become a place for the people in the city to put their bodies, a big war, and the bones are piled up......
"Hurry up!" In the scripture building behind the temple, someone urged in a low voice, and there were figures coming out of the building one after another, all dressed in black, originally the prince's garden, naturally there were some secret passages and secret doors, but after many years, few people knew, from the scripture building came out of nearly two or three hundred people one after another, led by the Shengqing who led the troops to withdraw from Mingzhou City that day, and took a few people to the front, all the way over, several monks in the temple and several people who kept vigil were also dealt with cleanly, and so on to see the corpses placed in the front yard, everyone took a look, didn't check carefully, after all, these people naturally had important things to do when they entered the Mingzhou Mansion, and just after everyone left in a hurry, the woman poked her head out of the straw mat, looked back at the man next to her, and showed a miserable smile on her face, "It's really a wrongdoer, let you save me again."

Most of the people in the city are gathered in the four gates to guard the city, and the people left in the city are also some women, children and old people, Sheng Qing brought all the good hands, after entering the city, they separated, and the number of people who can enter the narrow dark passage is also limited, in this case, they are going to attack one place with all their might, and now they are ready to prepare in advance, a few spies are looking in the direction of the four gates, and he took people to a private house, pushed the door in, and there were only two old people......
There is no wind tonight, the tens of thousands of Tianhu army outside the city seem to be tired, they stopped early, and looked at the past from the tower of Mingzhou City, but there is not much abnormality, tomorrow is the last day of the appointment, Wu Zhen instructed everyone to check more, and he only went to the city tower to rest for a while, and after a while, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and the shopkeeper Sun pushed the door in, his face was full of anxiety......
"The spies are back? How is it? ”
"The strength of the four gates is much different, but the number of people in the east gate and the northwest is slightly less."
"In that case, let's do what I said at the beginning, a few of you go to the west gate and set fire, and the rest of you and I will ambush at the east gate and act when the opportunity arises." Sheng Qing paid attention, and then commanded his subordinates to disperse, time was pressing, and he made the worst plan when he set this plan, Qin Mu naturally knew the role of Mingzhou Mansion City in the northwest war situation, and he led people out of the city, if it were not for Qin Mu's protection, his life would have been gone, and this time he thought about returning this life to the other party.
The east and west of the city are mostly private houses, the houses are lined up one after another, and the paths in between them are also crowded and messy, and at this time every household is closed with the door, Sheng Qing took hundreds of people to pass from it, but it did not attract the attention of many people, everyone sank in the night, but more than half an hour of effort, in the direction of the west of the city, the fire lit up.
"General?"
"Wait a minute."
Sheng Qing stared at several people on the opposite side, although the other party was in chaos, but no one left, until the fast horse came and someone shouted, "There is a fire in the west of the city, go and put out the fire!" ”
"Don't move!" Seeing that everyone began to riot, they heard someone shouting and running down from the city tower, "Who dares to mess with the master?" Jin Buchang looked at everyone angrily with a knife in his hand, "Look who dares to disobey the military order, there are tens of thousands of people outside the city, if you rush over at this time, none of you will survive!" ”
"But if this fire burns, it will kill people too!" Someone shouted, the east and west of the city are only a few streets away, the houses are all wooden tile structures, as soon as the fire is connected, everyone is naturally anxious.
Jin Buchang looked at the anxious expressions on the faces of several people, and drove towards the fire in the distance, the fire became bigger and bigger, and his heart began to become anxious, "General, let's go back as soon as we go, if the house is burned, our net worth and life will be gone, what is the difference between this city and not guarding?" ”
"That's it, that's it, give me a way to live!" A few young adults cried out, Jin Buchang looked upset, thought for a while, and could only let people leave, this time the people who originally guarded the city were more than half gone, leaving only the people of his Jin family and a few Hong Ji.
"Listen, after you go up, take down this person first!" Sheng Qing knocked carefully in the dark shadow, and ordered a few capable subordinates to take the gold first, and capture the thief first.
Seeing that everyone was far away, Jin Buchang cursed angrily, and at this moment, Sheng Qing took people out of the night to kill, and suddenly changed suddenly, Jin Buchang knew that he had won the plan, but there was no way, he could only take people to the top, and a fight began, and Hong Ji, who stayed by his side, set off fireworks into the sky and called the police everywhere.
The fireworks rose into the air, and everywhere knew that things had changed, and the Tianhu army outside the city also noticed it at this moment, tens of thousands of horses and horses rushed towards the city wall like crazy, Qin Mu walked to the hill, looking at the fire and fireworks in the city, the original old face became brighter and brighter, "Hold on a little longer, haha, kill, kill, slaughter this Mingzhou City." ”
In the camp, Tian Hu had already put on the armor of the Flying Tiger and carried a double-edged big ring knife, "Listen to me, take Mingzhou City tonight, and after entering the city, everyone will feast for three days!" ”
There was a burst of cheers in the army, the so-called "big feast" is actually to let the soldiers act arbitrarily, usually in the small city of stubborn resistance, Tian Hu let people do it, within three days the city was full of wailing, ** captivity, murder and arson, without restraint, the people of a city are considered to have entered hell, waiting for three days later, there is not much left.
Tian Hu gave such an order, firstly, his morale has been low recently, and he wants to use this to make his subordinates desperate and take Mingzhou City in one go, and secondly, he has a grudge against the people of Mingzhou in his heart, and it can be regarded as revenge for letting himself fall like this. The army gave the order, and tens of thousands of people began to rush towards Mingzhou City, while Tian Hu himself rushed towards the west gate with his elite.
"Shopkeeper Sun, hurry up and mobilize people to go to the West Gate, there will be a change in the late!" Wu Zhen looked at the torches running in the night, and became more and more worried in his heart, and the shopkeeper Sun on the side hurriedly went downstairs, but the two-day defense of the city had mobilized all the people in the city, not to mention the fire just now, and mobilized many people to fight the fire, and it was really stretched to support Ximen.
"What about Sun Erniang?" Shopkeeper Sun asked loudly about the crowd around him, it was Sun Erniang who came to report the news just now, but she was finally a step late, "I saw her leave with the women's army just now!" ”
Sun shopkeeper was stunned, the women's army is a team brought up by Sun Erniang, many of them are widows who have died of their husbands, they have been helping to take care of the wounded and the people in the city for the past two days, and now Sun Erniang is taking these people, naturally to support Ximen, but how can a group of women stop each other, and lose their lives in vain, as soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly gathered a few of his men with weapons and rushed towards Ximen......
