More than 50 soldiers who died first were unprepared, and in a few strokes, more than a dozen guards were cut into pulp.

Gongsun then took out the rocket he had prepared in advance and put it on the bowstring of the longbow, and the first soldier holding the torch next to him hurriedly stepped forward and lit the rocket.

Gongsun then raised his longbow suddenly, and then pulled the bowstring with all his might, and then suddenly released the bowstring.

In an instant, the faintly burning rocket had already swept into the air with a scream, and immediately drew a dazzling trajectory in the dark night sky, which was clearly visible for miles from far and near!

The next moment, a vague sound of killing sounded outside the Linzi Yongmen.

The guards of Shenmen and Guangmen on the left and right sides of Yongmen were alarmed, and when the two leading teams hurriedly climbed to the top of the city and looked out, they saw that the sporadic firelight had been lit up like a ghost from the western wilderness, and in the endless torch glimmer, tens of thousands of armor soldiers were rushing towards the Yongmen side like a tide.

"Enemy attack!" When the two teams led the way, they shouted bitterly, "Blow the trumpet!" Blowing the trumpet warning ......"

Suddenly, the low and desolate sound of the horn had already rushed into the sky, shattering the silent night sky, and the city of Linzi, which had been immersed in silence, immediately moved.

At dawn, when Xiang Zhuang entered the city from Yongmen under the swarm of Wei Yi and Wu She, the entire city was completely controlled by the Chu army

After control, most of the people in the city fled into the small city, and the food, goods, and iron tools in the shops and markets in the city were all intercepted, but the remnants of the Qi army also retreated into the small city and were still resisting stubbornly.

Xiang Zhuang and his entourage can walk to the small city of Lumen, Gongsun Sui has already taken more than 100 Xiandeng dead soldiers strode up to meet them, after a night of fighting, Gongsun Sui has been bloody heavy armor, and there are more dazzling scars on his face, the skin is open, it is very scary, but the spirit is not bad, it is estimated that there is no serious injury.

"General, military advisor!" Gongsun then shook Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yi respectively, and said with a face full of shame, "The remnants of the Qi army retreated to the small city, and the city was defended to the death, and the last general took the lead in the camp to attack from Lumen, and failed to succeed in attacking twice, but lost more than 100 brothers!" The last general is incompetent, please punish the general! ”

Hearing that more than 100 first-class dead soldiers had been lost, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little painful.

This is the most elite first-time deceased, and if you lose too much, it will be difficult to replenish it!

Although it is inevitable that people will die in battle, Xiang Zhuang and his heart have already been tempered harder than iron, but the problem is that the current strength of the Chu army is only more than 5,000 people, and it really can't withstand too much loss!

"Forget it, don't storm it again!" Xiang Zhuang waved his hand, and then turned back to Huan Chu and Ji Bu and shouted, "You two, immediately lead the people of the headquarters to collect firewood outside the city, the more the better." ”

"No!" Huan Chu and Ji Bu agreed with a bang and took the order.

Wu Shi's face changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "General, are you going to burn Linzi City?!" ”

Xiang Zhuang turned around and glanced coldly at the small city with the city gate closed, and said fiercely: "If you don't burn Linzi, how can Han Xin feel pain?" If Han Xin's flesh doesn't hurt, how can he return to Qidi with the army? ”

"However, the general ......," Wu Shi said with regret, "there are so many shops and markets in the city, so much grain, cloth, silk, and so much livestock and meat, what a pity it would be if all of them were burned down in one fire?" ”

"Mr. Wu She, you can't chew it if you are greedy." Wei Yi smiled quietly and persuaded Wu to wade, "Although Linzi is good, although Qidi is rich, it is not a place to stay for a long time after all, so much grain, cloth, silk, and this majestic city, we can't take it away, since we can't take it away, then why don't we burn it?" Do you want to pay it back to Han Xin?

Wu Shi pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Strategist, why can't we repeat the old trick and let the matter of Wei Di be staged again in Qi Land?" After saying this, Wu Shi pointed to the shop and warehouse not far away, and said, "Instead of burning these hard-won goods, it is better to distribute them to the people of Qidi in exchange for the hearts of the people!" ”

"Sir, you're thinking too simply." Wei Yi sighed and said, "Qi Di is not Liang Di. ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded silently, Qi Di is indeed not Liang Di, since Peng Yue became the Minister of Wei, he has wantonly installed his old cronies as officials in various counties and counties, but most of these old cronies were born in the army, vulgar and uneducated, and after taking office in the county and county, they began to levy and extort violently, and did misdeeds, making the entire Wei land a miserable livelihood.

The reason why there are so many hungry people in Wei is that Chu Han has been attacking in Wei for many years, but the perverse behavior of Peng Yue, these old cronies, is also an extremely important reason!

However, this is not the case at all.

Han Shin is an absolute genius in military affairs, but he is an idiot in politics!

The specific performance is that Han Xin has no defensiveness against Liu Bang, not only the generals under his command such as Guan Ying and Fu Kuan are Liu Bang's old generals, but also Cao Shen, Wang Ling and other important ministers, and they are also Liu Bang's henchmen, and Han Xin has a lot of trust in Guan Ying, Fu Kuan, Cao Shen, Wang Ling and others, and they are all entrusted with important tasks!

However, Cao Shen and Wang Ling really did not live up to Han Xin's trust.

At least under the governance of Cao Shen and Wang Ling, the state of Qi can be described as a country of peace and security, and the government is harmonious.

Therefore, if the Chu army wants to move the trick he played in Wei to Qi Di and come back, it is simply delusional.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang turned around and instructed Yu Ziqi: "General Ziqi, bring the more than 500 northern marten horses that were stolen yesterday into the city, plus the original more than 500 mules and horses, put them on the carriage and move them out of the city, how much can be loaded with grain, cloth, water and wine, and meat!" However, useless things, such as gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, are not allowed! ”

"No!" Yu Ziqi suddenly agreed and took the order.

In the small city of Linzi, Wang Ling was wearing armor and holding a long sword, and was patrolling the city defense under the swarm of more than 100 armor soldiers.

As the minister of Qi and the county guard of Linzi, Wang Ling shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding Qi for Han Xin, however, since the news of Xiang Yu's defeat came, Wang Ling was a little careless, he thought that the world should be pacified after Xiang Yu's death, but he didn't want to, something suddenly happened last night, and a "Han army" actually attacked Linzi? !

I thought that the war in Qidi had subsided, but who would have thought that it would be attacked by the Han army?

However, Wang Ling was originally a confidant of the King of Han, so he would never believe that it would be the Han army that would attack Linzi!

Although this army is wearing the same face and style of battle robes and armor as the Han army, Wang Ling knows very well that this is by no means a Han army, because there is no need for the Han army to attack the Qi State! With the King of Qi's trust in the King of Han, if the King of Han really wanted to take the land of Qi, he only needed to change the seal of the King of Qi to another place, so why send troops to attack?

This "Han army" cannot be the remnants of the Chu army of Lu Guoxiang Tuo!

The reason is very simple, there are only more than 3,000 remnants of the Chu army of Lu Guoxiang Tuo, and the army is disheartened and demoralized, so it is impossible to come to attack Linzi, but the "Han army" that attacked Linzi is enough for 10,000 people, and it is an elite with high morale and iron fighting spirit, which is a hundred battles elite that Wang Ling has only seen in his life!

Not far away, more than a dozen soldiers were gathering to denounce the "Han army" outside the city.

"Liu Bang Lao'er is really not a thing, he actually took advantage of the king's absence to secretly send troops to attack Linzi!"

"The king is so stupid, Liu Bang Lao'er is such a thing, he even led a large army to help him fight Xiang Yu."

"I heard that Liu Bang was originally a scoundrel in the market, what is there that he can't do?"

"Shhh, you be quiet, don't let the minister of state hear these words, the minister of state is Liu Bang's old man's person, if he hears you say bad things about Liu Bang, you will die......"

Before he could finish speaking, the soldier's eyes were straight and completely stupid.

The remaining dozen or so soldiers suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when they looked back hurriedly, they saw that the prime minister had appeared behind them without knowing when, and in an instant, these dozen soldiers were so frightened that their faces were dumbfounded.

"Someone!" Wang Ling snorted and shouted, "Drag down these few rumor-mongering jiāns and cut them down!" ”

"No!" More than 100 soldiers behind Wang Ling suddenly agreed, and immediately rushed forward to press the dozen soldiers to the ground, and a cold light flashed, and more than a dozen heads had already rolled down the city.

Seeing this bloody scene, the nearby Qi soldiers were all shocked.

Wang Ling stepped forward and picked up a human head with hideous eyebrows, looked around and shouted: "Listen carefully, it's not the Han army outside at all, but the remnants of the Chu army dressed up as the Han army!" Whoever dares to spread rumors again will be the end! Wang Ling didn't know if it was the Chu army outside, but now, he could only splash the dirty water on the Chu army.

As soon as Wang Ling finished speaking, more than a dozen sentries guarding the enemy tower suddenly moved.

Soon, a small colonel slowly ran down the enemy tower and reported to Wang Ling: "Prime Minister, the big thing is not good, the thieves have brought in a large amount of firewood from outside the city, and they are piling it up around, they, they want to burn Linzi!" ”

"Huh?!" Wang Ling was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately grabbed the enemy tower as fast as he could.

Standing on the enemy tower and looking down condescendingly, Wang Ling really saw thousands of thieves transporting truckloads of dry firewood and dry grass into the city, and piled them up one by one along several main streets under the eaves of those shops, warehouses, workshops and private houses.

Wang Ling's urgency is really extraordinary, if you really want the thieves to burn Linzi, is this still necessary?

However, the reality is extremely cruel, because Wang Ling could not stop the thieves from burning Linzi at all.

Pacing back and forth a few steps with an anxious expression, Wang Ling hurriedly summoned more than a dozen cronies to the front, and now, he can only ask the King of Qi for help, now the garrison of Qi is empty, if the army of the King of Qi cannot return in time, I am afraid that the entire Qi more than 70 cities will be turned into charcoal, such a big responsibility, but not his Wang Ling can bear.
