There are Yunwu Mountains passing through the state in Luoding Prefecture, and Daqiao Mountain is a small peak in the Yunwu Mountains. Starting from Daqiao Mountain, it only takes half a day to reach the official road to Luoding City, and then walk along the official road for half an hour is Luoding City, there is no fork in the road, both sides of the official road are also low hills, and occasionally a few slightly flat fields. One end of this official road leads to Luoding, and the other end is the county town of Deqing that leads to Fuqing Mansion, and the middle passes through the abandoned Dong'an County, which is almost uninhabited within a hundred miles.

At about the time of Shen Shi, when the sun was about to set in the west, in a hill full of big trees more than three miles east of the city, a group of men wearing all kinds of clothes, holding big knives, iron forks, and spears walked out of the hiding place one by one, and the leader was Hu Boss.

"Brother Zhou, it's getting dark, wait two hours for the third child to do it, I don't know what will happen to them." Boss Hu was both excited and apprehensive, looking at Luo Dingcheng in the distance, his mouth was a little dry.

Zhou Shixiang, who had just come out, blurted out when he heard this: "Brother Hu, don't worry, Brother Zhao, they will definitely be safe!" ”

In ancient times, an hour was two hours, two hours was four hours, and now it is about six or seven o'clock in the future, and two hours later is eleven or twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, at this time it is the time when people are asleep, the so-called killing and arson in the dead of night, Zhou Shixiang believes that the sudden incident, the Qing army in Luoding City must be caught off guard, as long as the action is fast enough, it will definitely be able to capture Luoding City, and repeat the heroic act of Sesame Li in the past!

Song Xianggong rubbed his sore legs and feet, and said: "Zhao Sihai and they are also used to doing things, so they can't make mistakes." Besides, now, this arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent, we have all come, can we go back again? It's useless to worry, I went out to do it, my head fell off but there was a big scar in the bowl, if it succeeded, then we will no longer be bandits in the future. ”

After speaking, he turned around and led people to make torches, Daqiao Mountain poured out of the village this time, but it was only thirty-eight people, and ten people went to the city to do the inner response, and the rest were only twenty-eight people, so it was still difficult for such a small number of people to disguise the illusion that Li Dingguo's army had killed, and they had to use more torches to confuse the Qing army in the city.

Boss Hu thought about it, what was the use of worrying at this time, throwing those worries to the back of his mind, pulling Zhou Shixiang to look at the cowhide drum that he had brought with great difficulty, and gently patted the drum surface, with a bit of vicissitudes of life: "This drum was used by the old prince, when the old prince was defeated, I took the brothers who escaped to bring this drum out, so that one day I can fight with the Tartars again under the command of this drum." It's a pity, it's been a few years, but this drum has never sounded again, and my brothers and I have also ended up with no one and no ghost, I really can't help the old prince, if it weren't for Brother Zhou's persuasion today, I'm afraid this drum would still be full of dust."

After sighing, he handed over the two drum hammers to Zhou Shixiang, "After the start, Brother Zhou will stay here to beat the drum to cheer everyone up, and I will take people to seize the city gate!" ”

When Zhou Shixiang heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, I'll go with Brother Hu to seize the city gate!" ”

Boss Hu laughed: "Brother Zhou and Mr. Song are both scholars, and if they want to do it, they have to do Zhuge Kongming's business, this battle to kill the enemy is the business of our gang of big bosses, where can we let you go." ”

"Brother Hu's words are wrong, although my Zhou Shixiang is a showman, but he is also a good man with a five-foot body, and he has a deep blood feud with his parents, wife and children, how can he hide behind and watch the brothers fight with the Qing army?" Zhou Shi was anxious, "Besides, I'm not really a weak scholar who is powerless, don't forget, Brother Hu, I killed You Yunlong with my own hands!" ”

Boss Hu was unmoved, and insisted on saying: "I know that Brother Zhou is a good man, but I discussed this matter with Mr. Song, you don't have to say it again, as long as you beat this drum well, so that we can hear this drum all the time, it will be the greatest credit." ”

Seeing that Boss Hu had made up his mind, Zhou Shixiang sighed, knowing that he couldn't change it, and he also knew that Boss Hu was thinking about his own safety, so he could only nod and agree. As long as things go exactly according to his plan, it doesn't matter whether he personally participates in the capture of the city.

When Zhou Shixiang was about to go to see the big green horse, the originally calm woods suddenly blew in the wind, and then the treetops began to shake.

The wind is blowing!

Zhou Shixiang was surprised

Luoding City at night, dark can not see a little light, empty street not even a beating husband can not see, if not the city gate vaguely see someone with a torch to walk, I am afraid that people who do not know still think that this city is a dead city.

In the south of the city, near a house of Qing army officers, there were two figures curled up motionless in the night, and if anyone passed by at this moment, they would definitely be startled, thinking that these two were dead people.

The two who looked like dead people were Zhao Sihai, who had infiltrated the city as Taoist priests, but next to him was the bald man, and I don't know where he found this tattered monk's robe.

The first wind blew dust from the streets, and it also brought a chill.

"Holy shit, it was windy yesterday?" The bald man casually spat out the dust scraped into his mouth and a leaf.

"The wind is good, didn't you listen to the wind to help the fire?" Zhao Sihai looked surprised.

The bald man hesitated: "This fire is going to burn, and the people of the city are not going to suffer greatly?" ”

"Mother-in-law, what are you doing, we are bandits, bandits who don't kill people or set fires and are still a fart, yesterday, your heart softened?"

"It's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's just that I can't bear it."

"Hey, you fake monk really think that you can become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife?" Zhao Sihai choked on the bald man, glanced at the sky, and slowly stood up, "It's almost, let's do it." ”

"Good!" The bald man gritted his teeth, patted the dust on his body, and stood up, glanced at the Qing army camp in the distance, and said viciously: "If you want to blame, blame the Tartar of the dog day!" ”

"Let's go!"

Zhao Sihai's fierce form was revealed, and after identifying the direction of the wind, he took out a can of fire oil that he bought after entering the city and quietly walked towards the Qing army camp. Seeing this, the bald man did not hesitate to follow. The two came to the upwind of the Qing army camp, and after carefully inspecting that there was no Qing army inspection, they stepped forward to open the jar.

Soon, the fire oil in the tank was poured on the fence of the Qing army barracks and the pile of hay, and after a while, the fire burst into the sky. The wind took advantage of the fire, and the fire raged towards the camp tent of the Qing army.

At the same time, Ge Wu and the others also began to set fires everywhere in the city, and while the fire was raging, the shouts of "the old thief is coming, the old thief is coming" instantly resounded throughout Luoding City.

The Qing soldiers guarding the gate who first discovered the fire in the city were startled, and before they could react whether it was a fire or someone set it on fire, they heard the war drums coming from outside the city, "Knock, knock, knock!" Looking up, the mountains and forests outside the city were full of torches, and it seemed that countless soldiers and horses were rushing towards Luoding.
