An army under Li Zhen entered the city. Immediately, a fierce attack was launched. The two sides fought fiercely, and the troops stationed at the four gates of the city were extremely elite soldiers. Even, there was no shortage of black dragon guards under Xi Changzhen's command who participated in it, and this force desperately held on, making it difficult for Li Zhen's attack to work. After a day of fierce fighting, I couldn't distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

In the evening, the war ended temporarily.

At this moment, whether it was the army stationed in Lingui County or the soldiers under Li Zhen, they were extremely tired.

Everyone began to recuperate their spirits and accumulate strength for the next day's battle.

In the middle of the city, a large mansion.

This residence is Li Zhen's temporary command post. All orders were conveyed through this place, but Li Zhen frowned at the moment. He held a pen in his hand, waved it at the desk, but after writing it down on a piece of paper, it was soon crumpled into a small paper ball by Li Zhen and thrown on the ground. In the study, one small paper ball after another has been thrown down, all of which Li Zhen has discarded.

Li Zhen has been thinking about the news that Xi Yinglong opened the gate of the Sifang City, but at the moment, he can't guess the situation at all, and he is very unwilling in his heart.

There was always a feeling in his heart that something would go wrong, and this feeling lingered in Li Zhen's mind, and he never solved it.

It was already late at night, and Li Zhencai turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The next day, before dawn, there was a rush of footsteps outside the room. Immediately, a banging knock sounded, and Yang Luchan's old and hurried voice came: "Dashuai, open the door, it's not good, something is wrong." ”

The sound was very loud, and Li Zhen was awakened immediately. He rolled over, put on a piece of clothing, opened the door and welcomed Yang Luchan in, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

Yang Luchan said respectfully: "Marshal, our soldiers have just discovered that all the soldiers who blocked us from going to the north gate have disappeared, and there is not a single one. ”

"What?"

Li Zhen exclaimed in surprise and said with a surprised expression: "Are you sure?" ”

Yang Luchan nodded affirmatively, and said in a deep voice: "Absolutely sure, I have sent soldiers to rush to the Governor's Palace, and the soldiers came back to report that not a single soldier had seen them, and the situation was very strange!" After a pause, Yang Luchan said: "I have sent soldiers to inquire about the situation at the east, south and west gates, and wait for them to come back to deliver the news." ”

Li Zhen nodded and quickly got dressed.

Immediately, Li Zhen waved his hand to signal Yang Luchan to sit down, and said, "Elder Yang, it was handled in a timely manner, and it should be like this." ”

While Yang Luchan and Li Zhen were still waiting, Dong Haichuan quickly ran back. Dong Haichuan saluted and said in a deep voice: "Great marshal, there is news from the eastern, western, and southern gates, and I haven't seen the soldiers under Xi Yinglong's command. Their people seem to have disappeared overnight, and they haven't seen a single one, which is also very weird. ”

After Li Zhen listened, he said in a deep voice: "If you probe again, you must find out the situation clearly." ”

"Yes!"

Dong Haichuan got the order, turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, Smith walked in again.

He nodded to Dong Haichuan, and Dong Haichuan also stopped, seeing Smith striding in front of Li Zhen, and said loudly: "Dashuai, there is a problem in the city." The west, south, and east of the city have all been sealed, and only the north gate is unknown. If the gates of the city are closed, we will be trapped in the city, which is not a good situation! ”

"Report!"

Yang Banhou ran in and said loudly: "Dashuai, the north gate is blocked." ”

For a moment, everyone in the hall was stunned.

The gates of the east, south, west, and north of the city were all blocked, and all the soldiers under Xi Yinglong's command in the city disappeared, which is really not good news!

Smith immediately said: "Something is wrong, withdraw, let's get out immediately!" ”

"It's late, it's definitely late!"

Li Zhen waved his hand again and again and said: "Xi Yinglong's situation today must have been arranged last night. Now, even if we find out about the situation, we must have been in the other party's calculations. Even if we retreated, it would be of no avail. Now, it is necessary to stabilize the army, act at the opportune moment, and not mess up the rules and regulations. ”

Yang Banhou, Dong Haichuan, Yang Luchan and Smith all nodded in approval, but their expressions were extremely solemn.

"Report!!"

A crisp voice came, and Zhou Xiuying ran in quickly.

Zhou Xiuying said eagerly: "Dashuai, the south of the city, the north of the city, the west of the city, and the east of the city near the city gate are already on fire. It's a hot summer, the weather is dry, all the houses, trees, etc. are burning at one point, and the fire is so huge that it is almost impossible to resist. This time, we were designed. ”

"The turtle in the urn!"

Li Zhen suddenly said loudly, and the whole person was also temporarily distracted.

At this moment, he realized that he had truly become a turtle in an urn.

The east, south, west, and north gates were all closed, and a fire broke out in the city, plus the soldiers led by Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen suddenly disappeared, obviously wanting to burn him and the soldiers under his command to death.

Li Zhen didn't know how Xi Yinglong and the soldiers under his command disappeared, and he didn't know how the other party unknowingly closed the gates of the Quartet, but Xi Yinglong arranged so many arrangements for this day.

Xi Yinglong took the initiative to open the south gate in order to let Li Zhen take the initiative to enter.

Next, Xi Yinglong opened the north, west, and east gates again, in order to allow Li Zhen to enter the city further, instead of staying on the city tower all the time. When Li Zhen's army entered the city, Xi Yinglong sent his army to take the initiative to engage the soldiers under Li Zhen's command, pushing the battle to the point of fierceness, so as to create enough atmosphere.

Next, Xi Yinglong suddenly retreated, forcing Li Zhen into a desperate situation. Especially now that there is a fire burning in the place close to the Sifang City Gate, Li Zhen is facing great difficulties even if he wants to attack the city gate. Not only that, but after the fire in the city spreads, it will soon form a monstrous fire, which is extremely terrifying.

Difficult! Difficult! It's hard!

Li Zhen sighed in his heart, and then said: "Withdraw, let's go to the north gate to break through." ”

At this moment, Li Zhen had to break through.

Yang Banhou and Zhou Xiuying immediately went to convey the order and transfer the soldiers from all directions back. By the time more than 10,000 soldiers had gathered near the north gate, a fire had already raged in the city. Under the red firelight, the entire morning light was obscured, and the boiling heat struck, making the soldiers in the army feel very uncomfortable.

Li Zhen didn't care about so much, and shouted: "Quick, go to the north gate, and then use the cannon we carry to blast open the city gate, and then kill it." Time is pressing, so I'm working harder. ”

Li Zhen knew that the matter was urgent, and he couldn't delay.

Maybe a minute, maybe a second, these will be the guarantee of the lives of the soldiers in the army. A little more time, one more chance, Li Zhen did not dare to give up these opportunities.

Survival!

It's all about survival!
