At night, the county soldiers, who had been tired all day, leaned on the city to rest. Now, with the sharp reduction of the number of combatable soldiers in the battalion, the people who defend the city are all defenders of the city. It's no longer possible to even keep shifts apart. Qi Hu, Jia Pan, Wang He, Yang Hua and others sat together with a group of soldiers. These leaders are all the ruffians and horse thieves who were first captured by Ye Chao led by Li Yanzhi in Guangwu County.

At this time, these people, together with the soldiers they had bewitched, a total of fifteen or sixteen people, gathered on the side of the tower of the western city wall, carefully observing the surrounding scene. During the day, more than half of the defenders of the West City were also sent to the South City to support. A large proportion of them did not return. Qi Hu and the others watched all this coldly, and they were already familiar with the deployment of the generals near the west gate of the city.

Because of the big things planned tonight, these people are not as difficult as the rest. Looking at the robe that was resting on the head of the city, a kind of heroism suddenly rose in the hearts of these people. When Qi Hu conspired with the rest of the people, all he thought was to remove Li Yanzhi, the thorn in the flesh. And the benefits that Liu Yin promised them undoubtedly greatly exceeded their expectations. After hearing Jia Pan's report, Qi Hu became more concerned about this matter in his heart. Not only did he gather everyone to start planning early, but he even got the order of tonight's guards from the battalion.

"Have you hidden all the fire oil used for the fire?" Qi Hu turned his head and asked Jia Pan. Jia Pan lowered his voice and said: "Don't worry, brother, there are three barrels of fire oil and other things, which have long been hidden in a house behind the city gate. Once you do it, you can take it out and set fire to several houses behind the door to report the news outside the city. ”

"I heard that Sima and Zhou Bairen have all been wounded. Most of the generals in the camp who can speak well now have gone to Nancheng to defend to the death. What we stayed in Xicheng was just Zhao Da. Brothers, be careful this time, all the riches we are waiting for are tonight. Looking back, we have made meritorious contributions to the city, and your brothers have also been awarded knights, and their descendants have been shaded. Glory and wealth, enjoy inexhaustible. ”

When all the soldiers heard Qi Hu's agitation, their eyes were already full of longing. They looked at Qi Hu and nodded in unison. These people are all Qi Hu Jia Pan and other soldiers who have already been looking for a good job in the camp and have no home in the state. For them, the illusory fame of fighting for life and death in this state is more tangible than grabbing the low-hanging fruit in front of them.

These more than ten people conspired in a low voice at the head of the city for a long time. Qi Hu Jia Pan and the others repeatedly deduced the plan several times, and felt that it was seamless, so they got up, pretended to have nothing to do, and sat scattered at the head of the city. Although he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep on the surface, he was already too excited to help himself.

At about the end of the day, Qi Hu quietly got up, woke up Jia Pan and Wang He, who were napping beside him, and went to another place to wake up Yang Hua, who was in the same place as those agitated soldiers. Everyone agreed that Qi Hu and Wang He would go to the city tower and kill Zhao Da, the hundred people who were guarding the city gate. After getting rid of Zhao Da, a fire was raised on the city tower. Jia Pan and Yang Hua under the city took two or three people, and poured the prepared fire oil on the houses behind the city gate, and then lit a fire.

At the same time as the fire appeared, Qi Hu, Wang He led people to resist the possible resistance of the rest of the soldiers on the city tower, and at the same time cut the rope tied to the drawbridge in the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and let Hu ride into the city.

The crowd waited anxiously for three hours. Qi Hu and Wang He took the lead in leading people to touch near the city tower. And Jia Pan and Yang Hua also took people to the dwellings where the oil was hidden early in accordance with the methods discussed earlier, and stood by the window looking at the city.

Qi Hu quietly drew his sword in his hand and quietly walked forward with a dozen soldiers. Xu is the fierce battle in the south city during the day, and now the soldiers scattered on the walls of the west city look sparse. And all of them are struggling. With the one or two torches lit every other road in the city, Qi Hu saw that these resting soldiers were all napping with their eyes closed, and few were awake. This situation undoubtedly strengthened his determination to do so.

Walking to the side of the city tower, Qi Hu ordered the rest of the soldiers to go down to the city gate to ambush and wait, he took advantage of the fire light a few zhang away, and checked the soldiers of the Wei Dun near the left side of the city tower. I hope to find out Zhao Da who is guarding the city gate. Qi Hu was lying down in twos and threes, and soon found Zhao Da who was napping with his eyes closed. Qi Hu was overjoyed for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward and pushed Zhao Da: "A hundred people are long, a hundred people are long!" ”

Zhao Da was woken up in his sleep and was slightly displeased. He opened his eyes and looked at Qi Hu and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qi Hu pointed his left hand to the city and said to Zhao Dadao: "Hundred people, Qin Hundred Commanders of the Zhanfeng Battalion sent people to look for them, saying that there is a military situation to discuss, so I will invite the hundred people to go down to the city to go to the military meeting." ”

Zhao Da turned over and sat up, took the ring head knife that was placed aside, hung it on the belt of the armor, and then said to Qi Hu: "I know." Go ahead. I'll go down to town right away. ”

Qi Hu Nuonuo responded, watching Zhao Da get up and go down the city alone, and there was a burst of joy in his heart. He hurried a few steps to the edge of the female wall, and then stretched out his head to look at the gate opening, listening carefully to the movement coming from there.

Zhao Daxing went down to the city tower, and saw a soldier standing in the shadow of the city tower. In the darkness, it was difficult to see the other side. However, the other party stepped forward to greet him, and said that the commander of the hundred people of Qin was convening a meeting of the generals in Nancheng, and asked the commander of the hundred people of Zhao to move there.

Zhao Da didn't know that there was a deception, so he immediately turned around and walked towards Nancheng with the soldier. After walking to the city gate cave, Zhao Da didn't feel that this city gate was any different from the past. It wasn't until four or five steps out that the more than ten people who had already been arranged in the doorway crept out of the doorway together, gradually keeping up with Zhao Da's footsteps.

Zhao Da only felt a coolness rise from behind him, as if there was a slight sound of footsteps. My heart became alert and hurriedly looked back. However, when he turned around, he saw several black shadows rushing towards him. The clanging sound of the knife coming out of its sheath suddenly rang out. The blades that reflected a little cold light in the dark night then attacked him one after another

Seeing this, Zhao Da was furious, shouted a dog thief, held the handle of the ring knife on his waist with his right hand, and pulled out the entire knife with a slight force. Looking at the first black shadow is the head of the split!

The shadow couldn't dodge. With the clanging of blades to bone, the man fell to the ground without warning, looking by the moonlight and the firelight of the city, but after a few struggles he was silent. Zhao Da carried the knife and fought with the rest of the black shadows that followed. Although Zhao Da was only a hundred people, he was brave, and in a blink of an eye, he beheaded two people in a row, and the leading Wang He was shocked when he saw this.

Originally, he and Qi Hu designed an ambush for Zhao Da together, thinking that Zhao Da was just a few generals under the siege of more than ten people led by himself, but he didn't expect Zhao Da to be so brave and fearless in the face of the siege of several people. In the blink of an eye, three people had fallen, which made Wang He have some doubts in his heart about whether he could win the hundred-man leader.

However, when Zhao Dazheng and the several people who followed him became a group, his figure suddenly froze. Then he turned his head to look at it in disbelief. But when he saw the messenger who had just met him under the city and was going to lead him to the southern city, he slowly drew his sword from his back......

Zhao Da opened his mouth and snorted, but before he could say a complete sentence, Wang He had already stepped forward, and the knife in his hand was swung out vigorously, and he cut off Zhao Da's head with only one blow.

Zhao Da's corpse fell under the root of the city with a thud, Wang He squatted on the ground and groped for a moment, and then mentioned Zhao Da's head, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. He gathered the people together and ran to the bottom of the tower. When he returned to the city gate, Wang He took out the bamboo whistle hanging on his chest and blew a short whistle at the city.

When Qi Hu heard this whistle, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. He also took out the bamboo whistle on his chest and blew the same short whistle. Then he pulled out the torch from the battlement on the side of the city tower, ran up to the city tower in a few steps, and waved vigorously at the houses where Jia Pan and others were hidden.

When Jia Pan saw the light of fire appearing at the head of the city, which meant that he had a successful signal, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly called everyone around him and rolled up the three barrels of fire oil hidden in the cellar of this house. Jia Pan opened the mud seals of these barrels of oil. The pungent smell of fire oil was now in his consciousness more than the smell of meat. After checking that everything was correct, Jia Pan ordered Yang Hua and another soldier to get the oil drums into the houses across the street and sprinkle and ignite the oil. Yang Hua saw that there was no one around, so he led the soldier to push the oil drum, quickly marched to the opposite house, and then broke in.

Jia Pan spared no effort to lead several of his subordinates to sprinkle fire oil in the houses. In the blink of an eye, almost all of the room was filled with a strong smell of fire oil, so he withdrew from the house with these people, and then lit the torch with a fire breaker, and threw it directly on the fire oil that had been poured and spilled. The torch came into contact with the oil on the ground, and it didn't take long for a fire to ignite. The fire grew bigger and bigger, spreading and devouring everything it passed.

The people who were hidden in the doorway saw the fire burning in the houses in the city, and they were suddenly excited. They shouted, knives in their hands, and ran to the ropes that tied the drawbridge. Wang He ordered these soldiers to stack a few Arhats under the wooden bridge. He rolled over and climbed up, his knife slashing at the rope of the drawbridge several times before one end of the rope was cut.

The suspension bridge, which had lost half of its support, resounded with a creaking and overwhelming sound. Wang He was in a panic, and hurriedly gathered everyone to run to the other end, and then cut the rope that tied the suspension bridge at the other end. The drawbridge, which had lost all support, fell with a bang, and with a loud bang, the huge plank suspension bridge was already on the opposite bank of the moat.

When Wang He saw that the big thing had been decided, he roared excitedly, and then led everyone back to the city from the city gate. At this time, the half-asleep soldiers on the castle tower saw that several houses behind the city were on fire, and they were still spreading to the side. And the suspension bridge that was originally pulled up outside the city was also put down by someone. The soldiers shouted in alarm, and some of them were already running to the well below the city, ready to draw water from the well to extinguish the fire.

Qi Hu watched coldly from the city as the robes around him did all this in vain, and a contemptuous sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. For him, this wealth is almost there. Looking at the fire burning in the houses behind the female wall, Qi Hu's heart suddenly became extremely excited. In his eyes, he had already seen that the captives rode into the city, and he rode a high-headed horse to serve King Zhao Nanyang. And Li Yanzhi, who had embarrassed himself before, and Zuo, a cadre in the camp, were either in different places on the street in front of them, or knelt in front of his horse and begged for mercy.

The more Qi Hu thought about it, the more proud he became, but his eyes involuntarily looked out of the city. In the quiet of the night, there seemed to be thousands of troops hidden, and there seemed to be nothing. It had been about a moment since the fire ignited, but he still hadn't seen or heard the signal that the captives were about to attack, but it cast a haze over Qi Hu's heart.

Qi Hu ran to the battlement wall in a few steps, waiting for a moment, but still did not hear the sound of horses' hooves or horns. Time passed slowly in the midst of the impatient waiting, and the soldiers of the city had already run to the wells under the city, took all the water utensils they could get their hands on, and ran to the burning houses.

Just when Qi Hu was extremely disappointed, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air in his ears. He lowered his body, but he still lay on the edge of the battlements and listened attentively, but after a dozen breaths, there was a faint rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Du Ziming lay on his horse's back, holding a ring-headed knife in his hand. Bursts of fire and smoke were rising from the city, and even in the galloping cavalry ranks, he seemed to be able to hear the exclamations and angry shouts of the soldiers coming from the city.

When he was only a hundred steps away from the city gate, the firelight in the city reflected a panicked and hurried figure, which made the big stone in Du Ziming's heart finally fall to the ground. I wasn't sure if it was a trap, but now I saw the chaos in the city on display in the doorway meant that it wasn't a well-prepared trap. Du Ziming kicked the horse's belly hard, and the war horse under his crotch galloped even harder, and the rumbling iron horse seemed to swallow everything that stood in its way!

After more than a dozen breaths, the Hun cavalry led by Du Ziming had already galloped into the west gate of Lingju City with all his might. The county soldiers who were extinguishing the fire were caught off guard, and at this time, they were all panicked when they saw these fierce and hideous Hun cavalry coming suddenly. In just one face, a corpse fell on the ground.

Qi Hu led the rest of the dozen people to the city wall and hid in the city tower. Listening to the shouts of killing outside and the desperate and helpless screams of the robes, Qi Hu was expressionless. is just secretly thinking in his heart about what kind of reward he can get after winning this time, and how to deal with Li Sima's unlucky bastard.

The soldiers of Lingju County near the west gate were now in disarray, and even if there were generals shouting hoarsely in them, it was difficult to form an effective resistance. These soldiers in the city saw that there was a fire under the city, and many people went down to the city without weapons, and now in the face of these fierce Hun cavalry, where is the time to go up to the city to get it? As time passed, more and more Lingju soldiers fell in pools of blood.

Du Ziming saw that the overall situation near the West Gate had been decided, and even if he sent a team of 100 people to the city to occupy the city gate, in case the back road was cut off. He himself led most of the remaining cavalry and rushed towards the city.

The flames of the sky, the screams and wails that rang out from time to time spread wantonly through the city. There is no one in the camp who can be the backbone of the camp now, and it will be a mess when it arrives. The leaders of each hundred men tried hard to gather their subordinates, but with little success. And Li Yanzhi, who was still resting in the house, faintly heard these sounds coming from outside the camp, and woke up slowly.

He got up and endured the pain on his body, opened the door and looked out, only to see the sky-high fire under the city on the west side!
