On the city wall, Xu Lan and many rebels were a little stunned when they saw the firelight in the south of the city reflecting half of the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although he didn't deceive He Lin in, it was not bad to destroy Funing's 40,000 Qing troops. For this reason, he also scavenged the oil and water in Jingxi City.

provoked those rich people who hid privately, crying for their fathers and calling their mothers, and their hearts were as distressed as if they were cutting meat.

But in the end, it didn't work.

But after watching it for a long time, Xu Lan was a little worried for no reason! After all, this is 40,000 Qing troops, and it is difficult to attack them all with fire alone? Annihilate. So he also deliberately left two exits, so that the Qing army could have a trace of life-saving thoughts in the sea of fire. Then let the four kings of the southeast, northwest, and northwest lead most of the rebel army to stay there.

As long as someone comes out, they will fight first and then take prisoners, and try their best to wipe out the Qing army.

But that's just ideal! In practice, there are still a lot of variables. Therefore, he did not dare to guarantee that there would be no accidents along the way.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at the torches in the tent of the Qing army camp not far away. Count silently, there are more than 30,000. Looking at its swaying, it is obviously arming for war.

That's what he stayed on the walls for! In order to guard against the counterattack of the Qing army outside the city. But after only watching for a while, his expression unconsciously became nervous. Because he found that the torches in the barracks had been circling in circles.

If it weren't for the soldiers of the Qing army who went crazy or encountered ghosts? Hit the wall. That can only mean that there is a problem inside!

This reminded him of a word that often appears in TV dramas - blindfolding!

That was when the army was marching and fighting in ancient times, in order to confuse the enemy. Use torches to impersonate the number of people, so that the other party can confuse the line of sight and hide his true intentions.

Look at the scene right now, isn't it?

The more he thought about it, the more Xu Lan broke out in a cold sweat. Quickly summon a small soldier and let him see the situation at the North City Gate. Because the terrain of that place is higher, it is easier to defend and more difficult to attack than the south gate. So there are relatively few rebels over there.

It is precisely for this reason that he led a part of the rebel army to strictly guard the south gate.

It's just that according to the current situation, it is difficult to guarantee that the North City Gate will be safe.

Sometimes, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come. The little soldier he had just sent out, and after a stick of incense, he hurried back. He didn't even breathe, so he said in a panic: "Teaching-teaching!" The North - North City Gate - The Gate is broken! ”。

As if confirming his words, a rapid shout of killing sounded from the north, and countless torches also instantly gathered in the north.

It turned out that He Lin thought that the south city gate was very well defended, and the Qing army in the city contained most of the rebels. Therefore, they used torches to impersonate the number of people to temporarily stabilize the rebel army. At the same time, he led 25,000 Qing troops and secretly lurked to the North City Gate.

It had just rained, and the ground was muddy. They deliberately slowed their steps again, and quietly went to the city wall.

Then he sent hundreds of soldiers who could 'fly on the grass' and quietly touched the city wall. It is also that there are few defenders at the North City Gate, and the defense is inevitably a little negligent. Moreover, the Qing army had never attacked here, so I relaxed my vigilance and was a little careless.

Later, when the defenders realized that the situation was wrong, the Qing army had already occupied the city and opened the city gates. Today, more than 20,000 Qing troops, many of them, have poured into Jingxi City.

After hearing this news, Xu Lan's heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. But his intellect tells him that the more dangerous the situation, the more calm he must be.

At this time, Shi Liu Deng, Wu Bansheng and others, also with a large number of rebels, ran over anxiously, waiting for Xu Lan to make a decision.

It is also he who always solves problems for the rebels at critical moments. All of a sudden, it was looked forward to by so many people. Therefore, he raised his head and looked at the Qing army that was gradually approaching, forcing himself to calm down.

It's not too late to make amends. Now it is no longer realistic to think about driving the Qing army out. So he brought the rebels and hurried to the center of the city. Because that place has placed all the righteous people, if they are left behind, they will fall into the hands of the Qing army. The consequences were absolutely catastrophic.

After all, they blocked the Qing army for so long, and indirectly killed a Qing army general. It's hard to guarantee, those who are holding their stomachs? The angry Qing army will not exterminate the slaughter of human nature? City.

And the reason why the Intelligence Department sent him, the director, is to attach great importance to these Miao people. If you were killed by the Qing army like this? is clean, then his mission will be wasted.

What's more, those righteous soldiers and righteous people are all related to each other. Leaving those unarmed righteous people behind in this way will definitely make his prestige in the righteous army ruined. What's more, it will also hit the morale of the rebels. Let the whole team become a plate of loose sand.

The Qing army chased after it, and it could not form an effective resistance.

It was precisely these reasons that made Xu Lan not choose to run away at a critical juncture.

So that when they arrived in the center of the city, the panicked righteous people were finally much more relieved. also sighed that Xu Lan was benevolent and righteous, and did not leave them.

Seeing this, Xu Lan felt heavy in his heart. It's a little unbearable. But seeing these eager and trusting eyes, no matter how hard it is, he will work hard to bear it.

He seized the time and placed the rebels at various intersections with the government as the center and a radius of one mile. Then set up a roadblock to stop the Qing army. And strictly ordered all the rebels to guard the land under their feet. Once he retreats, his relatives will have to face the slaughter of the Qing army? Knife.

At the same time, in order to encourage the confidence of the rebels to persist in resistance, they also swore a promise. Just hold on for an hour, and reinforcements will arrive.

As for whether it will really come, Xu Lan himself doesn't know. Anyway, he now wanted to delay a little longer, and try his best to provoke the determination of the rebels to put them to death.

He couldn't think about the rest of the matter so much.

Maybe God has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear to accept so many lives.

Therefore, it was dangerous and dangerous, so that the volunteers who went north hurriedly appeared three miles southwest of Jingxi City. The countless torches stretch for miles, making it difficult to see the head and tail at a glance.

A lot of soldiers, from head to toe, were wet. Like it was freshly fished out of the water. For a while, I couldn't tell whether it was sweat or water. Coarse? Heavy breathing sounds are also rhythmically aggregated. One inhale, one out, one volt together, it sounds like thunder, deafening. The birds and finches nearby were also too frightened to make a sound.

So that the mountains and forests are followed by regular vibrations.

Wang Kai, the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, was sitting in a small miscellaneous? On the southwest horse, the whip is constantly waving so that the horse can speed up his pace. When I saw the transparent fire shining in Jingxi City not far away, I immediately understood that it was not good.

Ordered the whole army to change the trot into a fast run, and strive to rush to Jingxi City as soon as possible. The horsewhip in his hand also fell more diligently. As a result, with a pop, the southwest horse, who was not good at traveling thousands of miles a day, lay down on the ground foaming at the mouth, but he was tired? He's dead. (To be continued.) )
