Chapter 458: The Battle of Pingcheng (Part II)

On the night of October 29, on the barren mountain southeast of Pingcheng, Lin Zhan's department was waiting for news from the city. In the dead of night, wolves could be heard howling in the mountains and fields, and under the aura of slaughter, Lin Zhan looked at the sky, and in his heart it was not far from time to start a war.

The sky was so dark that it was pitch black all night. Lin Zhan was naturally worried that the plan to burn Pingcheng would be blocked by the sudden heavy rain.

"Is there movement in the city?" Lin Zhan glanced at the herald next to him and asked.

"General, there is no movement." The herald replied.

Lin Zhan pondered for a moment, the city was still silent, and the appointed hour had already passed, if it was delayed, it was very likely that the rain would fall. It is not an easy task to burn down the Pingcheng granary in the rain.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and when Lin Zhan was a little worried, something cold floated down in the air. Just when Lin Zhan felt nervous, he reached out and touched the small snow crystals floating on his face, not raindrops.

"General, like...... It's snowing. The herald on the side reminded.

"Hmm." Lin Zhan sighed, he has been leading his troops to fight abroad for almost a year, from the Battle of Jiangdu to the Battle of Yuzhou now, from the snow falling last year to the snow falling this year.

The snow was not heavy, and Lin Zhan knew in his heart that the snow might affect the fire tonight, but it would be less affected than a heavy rain. He looked again in the direction of the mountain, and at this moment a fast horse came over, as if bringing the latest news from the city.

"General, you've got it." The herald came over quickly, and said a little excitedly. "The brothers inside have lit some fires, and chaos has begun in the city."

"What about the Heijo Guard?" Lin Zhan hurriedly asked.

The herald shook his head, unsure.

Lin Zhan didn't care about anything else at this time, he wanted to quickly lead his troops to rush over, a small flat city, it must not be able to keep it peaceful. Before dawn, not only must the granary of the Dongwang army be burned to the ground, but the whole army must be evacuated.

"Gather all the men and horses, and attack the city!"

As soon as Lin Zhan gave the order, the soldiers and horses were already eager to try. It was the dead of night. A great war has just begun.

……

……

At this time, in Pingcheng, the guard general Yang Wei was burning and looting in the Hu Mansion in the west of the city.

There was nowhere to vent his resentment, so he completely sprinkled this anger on the men, women and children of the Hu family. When he arrived at Hu's house with his hands, it was a killing. Start by knowing the guest at the door. It's not a matter of saying it at all. Killed all the way to the main hall, to say the least, there were more than a dozen people less.

"General...... What are you...... Spare your life! ”

The head of the Hu family was dragged to the main hall of the Hu family by the soldiers in rags, under the old face. In addition to the horizontal wrinkles, there is a look of sorrow and horror. These people in front of them suddenly killed like this, the old and young people of the family were urinated, and some women's shouts could be heard in the distance, and some of them might still be in the bed, so they were dragged to the yard, and if they didn't obey, they might be in a different place.

"Dare to put up a fight with General Ben, I'm impatient." Yang Wei carried the blood-stained knife, looked at the head of the Hu family, and immediately put the knife on the neck of the head of the Hu family, and the head of the Hu family didn't even dare to say anything.

Yang Weidao: "General Ben asked you, why did you neglect the general's brothers? ”

The head of the Hu family didn't dare to breathe, Yang Wei glared at him, faintly murderous. After a long time, the head of the Hu family said, "...... Small...... How dare the villain snub. ”

"And you said you didn't slack off? General Ben took people out to inspect, your family, why did you stop it? Could it be that you can't get through the enemy? ”

The head of the Hu family was shocked, these people broke in like robbers, who had ever stopped this group of people? Isn't this a sin that is wanted, and there is no excuse for it?

But even if he understands that he was framed by this soldier, the head of the Hu family can't say it, if he dares to argue, it will be the whole family will be wiped out, and he may be charged with some crimes afterwards, and there will be no bones.

"General...... Possible...... It may be some blind people. Your old ...... To kill...... And they were killed, and they ...... It's not a pity to die. ”

Yang Wei sneered and said, "General Ben has naturally taken action to solve it. But, hum, old man Hu, I heard that you are one of the top families in this Pingcheng, entertaining our brothers, is there a reason for us to do it ourselves? ”

O robbers! The head of the Hu family screamed in his heart, but unfortunately, now that the robbers arrived at the door, they could only greet him with a smile.

"What does the general want me to entertain, just ...... Pick it up, we'll wait...... Never resist. I only hope that the general will read that the villain has gone out of the city to greet the general, and he will lose a few lives! Villain, in the next life, it will be an adult to tie the grass and tie the ring......"

Yang Wei laughed, lifted the knife, and shouted to the soldiers who came with him: "Did you hear, this Master Hu let you take care of yourself, why don't you go by yourself?" ”

The people under his hand shouted and entered the back house of the Hu family, and then the sound of shouting sounded, and the head of the Hu family knelt in the main hall, thinking that his family was being abused by a group of demonic bandits, and there was nothing he could do except lament in his heart.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, the shouts of the inner house subsided a little, and the head of the Hu family did not know what happened to the female relatives of the inner house, whether they were killed or tortured and silent. At this moment, suddenly there seemed to be a noise outside, and a soldier next to him looked up at the night sky in the distance and shouted, "It's on fire." ”

The head of the Hu family was completely cold in his heart, was his house ordered by someone? In the future, even this home will not exist?

He mustered up the courage to turn around and take a look, but saw that it was not the courtyard of the Hu family that was on fire, it seemed to be outside, and the fire was all over the sky, which could not be caused by the fire of a single family.

"General...... General ......"

The soldiers in charge of guarding outside hurriedly entered the inner house, and after a while, Yang Wei came out, sorted out the armor on his body, glanced at the fire in the distance, and said angrily: "It's a granary." There are rioters in the city! ”

As he spoke, Yang Wei took people out, and at this time, more people came out from the direction of the inner house.

The head of the Hu family whispered to himself: "God really opened his eyes. ”

The head of the Hu family followed the people out of the main hall, but saw that it had begun to snow outside, and the weather was cold, and his heart was even colder. Just when he thought that the group of demons in front of him would leave the Hu family because of the sudden fire, he saw a group of people wearing the same military uniform rushing in from the direction of the door of the Hu family.

"Where in the city is the granary on fire?" Yang Wei thought that someone came to report the fire disaster, so he went up and asked.

As soon as the words came out, he saw the current soldiers raising their knives to slash at him, Yang Wei was really startled, hurriedly dodged, and was cut to the back, under the pain, he hurriedly flashed forward, but fortunately, the soldiers behind him came up in time, and he barely saved his life.

"Protect the General!"

In the army of the Western King, the military order is as big as a mountain. If the boss was killed in front of everyone, his guards would follow him to the funeral, and seeing that Yang Wei was attacked, his guards stepped forward to stop the people who came and blocked a lot of knives for Yang Wei.

When Yang Wei staggered up from the ground, ready to command his soldiers to kill the criminal, he saw a person in front of him holding a stone and smashed it towards his head, and looked at it to see that it was the head of the Hu family who was only willing just now.

Yang Wei couldn't dodge and was hit in the head by a stone, and blood flowed when he landed. Yang Wei was stunned by the smashing, and he didn't die but only had half a life left.

His guards escorted Yang Wei, resisting the intruder's blades while sending Yang Weiwei out of the gate of the Hu family. Fortunately, there were not many people coming, and Yang Wei came out to bring a lot of people this time, so Yang Wei barely escaped from the Hu family.

But at this time, the entire Heicheng was already in chaos. There were not only soldiers who were in a hurry and didn't know how to respond, but also ordinary people who fled for their lives because of the fire.

Yang Wei wiped the blood from his head, and when he saw such a scene in the city, he also knew that it was not just a small group of homeless people making trouble, but it might be an enemy attack. As for whether it was the East Wangfu or the South Wangfu, or the North Wangfu that went and returned, he didn't know. He even felt that this might be someone sent by Li Dai to make him ruined.

"General, what should I do?" The guards were in complete panic by this time.

In the entire Pingcheng, fires can be seen everywhere, and what is ignited is the direction of the granary in the city, Yang Wei instinctively glanced at the direction of the granary in the city, sighed, and said, "Go back to the barracks." ”

But at this moment, the adjutant rode his horse and came with men.

"General Yang, I finally found you. The soldiers and horses of the Eastern King's Mansion have already reached the east of the city and entered the city. ”

Yang Wei closed his eyes, and he didn't know if it was because of the injuries on his body, or because he felt that the general trend was gone.

"Quick...... Get out of town! Heijo is here...... Don't stay long! ”

As he spoke, Yang Wei pulled a horse over and jumped on the horse's back, but he couldn't sit still and fell off the horse.

"Quick, protect the general, get out of the city first!"

In the face of such adversity, anyone knows that hard fighting is just death. Yang Wei was pushed on the horse by the excitement, and at this time Yang Wei had fainted, in order to prevent him from falling off the horse, everyone looked for ropes to tie him to the horse. The original 2,000 defenders fled from the west gate and south gate of Pingcheng in a scattered manner, and the entire Pingcheng has been completely caught in flames.

When Yang Wei woke up, he was still on the horse, and at this time they had already left Pingcheng four or five miles away, and the fire in the distance was very obvious, Yang Wei lamented in his heart, this firelight did not need to go to Li Dai's military camp to spread it, and Li Dai should know it soon. Originally, he was very bad with Li Dai, but now Pingcheng was burned in such a mess, didn't Li Dai take the opportunity to kill him?

"General, are you awake? We're going to take you to General Lee! The adjutant turned his head to look at Yang Wei and shouted.

"No, head north!" Yang Wei shouted, "Going to the barracks like this, isn't it looking for death?" ”

The adjutant was stunned, thinking that it was because Yang Wei left his post without permission that Pingcheng was burned, even if the responsibility was not on them, and Li Dai would be held accountable, they would inevitably die.

"Let's go! Head north! ”

The adjutant immediately changed direction and wanted to take Yang Wei to the north. But before he got out of the range of Pingcheng, he had been arrested by the patrol soldiers and horses sent by Li Dai. (To be continued......)
