Late at night.

After a short journey to hide their whereabouts for a day, Liu Qi, Zhao Yun, and Xu Jing led more than 5,000 soldiers to quietly break into Pingyu City under the cover of late night.

Liu Qi waved his hand, letting many soldiers behind him hide their whereabouts, looking at the flickering candlelight on the city wall, as well as a few sleepy guards, suddenly a flash of inspiration muttered a few words in Zhao Yun's ear.

Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Qi gloomily, Liu Qi patted Zhao Yun's shoulder firmly, and said in a low voice: "Go ahead, don't worry about me." ”

Zhao Yun had no choice but to lead 2,000 people to leave Liu Qi under the cover of the cold night, not knowing what to do.

More than half an hour after Zhao Yun left, Liu Qi took out his sword and asked, "Sir, when should I do it?" ”

"At this time!" Xu Jing didn't finish speaking, only to hear a few shouts on the Pingyu city wall, "Enemy attack!" After a while, all the guards were killed by Nei Ying.

Under the response of the internal response, the sound of the gate of Pingyu City quietly opened.

Liu Qi waved his sword and shouted, "Go!" Enter Pingyu City! The first horse rushed towards Pingyu City, and Xu Jing followed.

"Kill!" Three thousand people shouted in unison, rushing into Pingyu City like thousands of horses galloping.

***************************

In the military tent in the garrison of Pingyu City, with a not low drunkenness, Ji Zhong woke up in the cry for help of the "enemy attack", and couldn't help but be furious: "Someone! Where is the noise?! ”

"Oh no! General, Xin Cai Chen's rebellion led his troops to attack Pingyu City! A soldier ran in in a panic.

"How can it be! Before he went over to take his dog's life, he dared to come here to die! Ji Zhong suddenly fell asleep and shouted: "Prepare the horse, inform Xu Rong to lead the troops to meet the enemy immediately!" Make no mistake! ”

"No!" The guards gave the order.

Ji Zhong led more than 3,000 soldiers and soldiers to the gate of Dongcheng City. After receiving the information of the enemy attack, Xu Rong hurriedly got up in the concubine's warm bed, finished dressing up with a curse, and led his 2,000 men to quickly kill towards Dongcheng.

Under the leadership of Xu Jing, who was familiar with the internal situation, Liu Qi and more than 3,000 of his subordinates came to the granary of Pingyu.

"Move quickly, ignite and burn!" Xu Jing looked anxious, "In front of it is the Xu family's mansion, although there are few slaves, but they are fierce and brave, and they can't be entangled with them." ”

Liu Qi beckoned, and many sergeants dried the oil around the granary, and Liu Qi said coldly: "Retreat!" ”

Xu Jing, escorted by many foot soldiers, retreated towards the east city gate. Liu Qi threw the torch on the grain and grass, boom! Suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, reflecting the chaos of the Xu Mansion not far away.

"The rations are on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! ”……

Liu Qi bent his bow and arrows, and the rockets whizzed towards the few people who rushed over, slowing down their pace a little, and Liu Qi immediately followed the large army and killed the east city gate.

The cold wind was bitter, and the dry grain and grass, with the help of the burning oil and the wind, the fire became bigger and bigger, reflecting most of the Pingyu City.

"Not good! It's ...... there" Xu Rong didn't have time to exclaim, and killed a group of people next to him: "Kill!" Come on! Suddenly, more than 2,000 people lost their ground under the burning of grain and grass and the night raid, and the scene was immediately chaotic.

Liu Qi asked dozens of soldiers to protect Xu Jing, and he led 3,000 people to rush into the 2,000 people led by Xu Rong in an instant, taking advantage of the chaos to fight, and finally made a breakthrough.

"Attack! Kill me, kill all these thieves! Xu Rong was under the guard, and when he saw Liu Qi like entering a no-man's land, he couldn't help but be furious: "Kill him!" Fast! ”

More than 2,000 foot soldiers, under the surprise attack of more than 3,000 people led by Liu Qi, lost most of their combat strength in a short time. Liu Qi and others took advantage of the situation to break through and rush to the city gate.

"Chase!" Ji Zhong chased after him, and when he saw the remnants of the defeated army with only a thousand or so people left, he glared at Xu Rong fiercely, "You guys stay to fight the fire!" The grain and grass are burned, the enemy army will not be destroyed, and we will wait for the lord to cut off his head! ”

Xu Rong shuddered coldly, such a big fire, the grain and forage were burned out. Now I have to take these more than 1,000 defeated soldiers to see if I can save a little. Thinking of Ji Zhong's words, the chill in Xu Rong's heart deepened.

Rumble! The cold wind was blowing vigorously, the grain and grass made a loud noise, the fire rose to the sky, and the fire began to spread to the houses next to it, Xu Rong was suddenly frightened back a few steps by the fire, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly put out the fire!" ”

"General, such a fire, you can't save it!" The Xu family servants were sweating profusely.

"Stupid! If you can't save it, you have to save it, otherwise you and I will die! Xu Rong was furious for a while, "Go quickly!" ”

******************************

Ji Zhong was furious, and a chill was chilling in his heart. This time it was raided, and the loss of Pingyu's food was irreparable, and Yuan Shu's anger was inevitable. The Xu family is a big family, and they have a good relationship with Yuan Shu, so if they blame it, they are afraid that they are the only guards.

He only relied on his eldest brother Ji Ling to be promoted to the rank of general of Pingyu as a general of Yuan Shu, but his status was not as good as that of the local nobleman Xu. In the previous words, warning Xu Rong that this pustule can only have a temporary effect, and when the time comes, he will bear the brunt of the crime.

"Give me chase! Kill one person and reward ten times! Capture and kill the enemy and promote him to the general's lieutenant general! Ji Zhong said hatefully, and while directing the foot soldiers to speed up their pace, he chased after him first.

"No! Kill......"

Liu Qi fought and retreated, luring the furious Ji Zhong out of Pingyu City and retreating in the direction of Gushi.

******************************

Gushi County.

The fire of Pingyu reflected the cold night, and the roaring fire rose straight for nine days. Before Yuan Ji, the general of Gushi Guarding the Grain, fell asleep, he was awakened by the light of the fire that seemed to be close in front of him.

"What's going on?!" Yuan Ji called the soldier and asked.

"I don't know, this fire suddenly burned, like the entire Pingyu City was caught in flames......

"New Cai Chen! If Pingyu is lost, Runan will be in danger! My Yuan family is in danger! Remembering that the Chen clan of the Xincai clan has always been on the wrong path with the Yuan clan, Yuan Ji suddenly changed color, and said in a lost voice: "Prepare the horses, and order General Feng Zhou and General Wu to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to quickly follow me to help Pingyu, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

"General, is it too risky to leave Li Yue's headquarters with 3,000 archers?" It just so happened that Wu Zhi was beside Yuan Ji, and he couldn't help frowning and asked, "This fire came suddenly, isn't it a deception?" ”

"If Pingyu is lost, the Yuan family will be directly wiped out on Runan County! Can you afford this responsibility?! Yuan Ji snorted coldly and said, "The Xincai Chen family has been in business for decades, and the Yuan family has never let go of its mind to replace me...... Come on! ”

Wu was unwilling to return to his headquarters and lead 2,000 archers to follow the large army to aid Pingyu.

In the forest outside Gushi County.

"General, the eldest prince's plan has been completed, Yuan Ji led 5,000 cavalry from his headquarters and 2,000 archers from Wu Zhi's headquarters have gone to Pingyu!" The scout returns to report his arrival.

"How long have you been there?!"

"It's been about two hours!"

"In two hours, they were almost at peace. Pass the order down and get ready to do it! Success is not allowed to fail! Chen Zhi said in a low voice: "The scout signal that infiltrated Gushi County will go into the city to burn grain immediately!" No grappling! ”

Under the words, the signal of the south gate of Gushi County swishing flew up, indicating that the scouts who had infiltrated Gushi County had succeeded.

"Kill!" Chen gave an order, and more than 1,000 soldiers from the Baiyi Battalion instantly rushed into Gushi County and went straight to the granary!

"Enemy attack! The enemy is in! "The defenders of Gushi County did not notice it, and most of the archers were cut down by the fierce Baiwei battalion soldiers before they had set up their bows and arrows, and the south gate was suddenly lost.

Li Yue was stuck in the granary, and the people outside were full of noise and chaos.

"General Yu, I don't know where a group of thieves came out, and they have come to kill this side!"

Not long after Yuan Ji left, Gushi County was attacked by surprise, and even a fool knew what was going on. Li Yue said angrily: "Fight!" "Pick up the big knife first and meet it!

Chen Zhi and other soldiers stormed all the way to the granary, and the Baiwei battalion suffered a lot of losses, and now there are less than 1,000 people left.

Whoosh! There were two sounds, and the dark arrow shot towards Chen Zhijin.

Chen Zhi was alert in his heart, and with a wave of the spear, ding! Knocking out the cold arrow, seeing Li Yue's big knife cut down, he smiled coldly and said, "Carving insect skills!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the spear in his hand slid impartially over the big knife and stabbed Li Yue in the throat with a poof, and Li Yue was killed on the spot!

"The enemy will be dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Chen Zhisheng shouted loudly.

When the soldiers of Li Yue's headquarters saw that Li Yue was not Chen Zhi's enemy in the first round, they were immediately frightened, and those who fled in all directions, disarmed and surrendered, and took advantage of the chaos to counteract.

Chen Zhi led the soldiers to kill the archers in Dazhai, and threw the fire oil at the granary, armory, and so on.

Call! Rumble!

The fire ignited instantly, and the tongue of fire burned along the huge granary of Gushi County wrapped around the fire oil. Boom Boom! Whew! The cold wind was blowing fiercely, and the fire was getting higher and higher, and the entire granary was instantly submerged in the fire cage.

The overwhelming heat wave instantly forced Chen Zhi and the others back, and I am afraid that even if the fire falls from the sky, it will be difficult to extinguish.

"It's on fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! In the middle of the night, the sound of killing had already awakened many residents, and they couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the fire burning.

Fortunately, the granary is a key protection site of Gushi, and there are no residents living there.

"Let's go! Hurry up and rescue the lord! Chen Zhi lit the fire gall, a round ball made of grease, and threw it at the camp not far from the side, and the soldiers heard the words and lit the fire gall one after another, and threw it at the camp not far from him.

Killing and repelling the garrison that was still resisting at the city gate, more than 1,500 soldiers of the Baiwei battalion had lost more than half of them in the fierce battle, and only seven or eight hundred soldiers were left under the leadership of Chen Zhi to rush in the direction of Pingyu to support Liu Qi.

**********************************************************

An hour ago.

After a non-stop rapid march, the bright fire of Pingyu City became more and more visible.

"Report!" A scout rode into the team, and his panicked appearance made Yuan Ji very dissatisfied, "Say! ”

"The vanguard of our army was ambushed by the enemy, and the whole army was annihilated!" The scout deliberately lowered his head, feigning horror and trembling.

"What?!" Before Yuan Ji finished speaking, there was a sudden roar in front of him: "Children, kill me!" ”

"No! Kill! "I couldn't tell who it was at night, but I could only hear the shouts of anger and the sound of charging.

Feng Zhou only felt that the voice of the other enemy's general was a little familiar, and before he could ask, Yuan Ji smiled coldly and said, "Archer, prepare to release arrows!" ”
