At three o'clock, the sky has already been dark, a crescent moon hangs high in the night sky, the cold moonlight is sprinkled to the earth, in the city of the king of Qiuzi built by the mountain, the lights are gradually lit up, from a distance, the lights flicker faintly and the bright stars in the sky converge into a piece, it is difficult to distinguish each other, where the wind rises, the grass waves rise and fall, the treetops shake gently, the rustling sound is like the sound of the waves, the unknown insects sing a gentle symphony between the blades of grass, the fireflies sway in the air to debut the dazzling scenery, the night of the oasis is always so beautiful, It was so beautiful that it was refreshing, but this quiet beauty was only a fragile illusion, and it was easily shattered—at some point, a slight tremor quietly rose among the grass and trees, and then the tremor became stronger and stronger, and the chirping insects were all frightened and silenced, and the wind blew, and a tight sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near, and by the light of the crescent moon, a black line could be faintly seen on the distant horizon, and soon the galloping horse team appeared from the dark night, The crescent moon in the sky was instantly frightened and hid in the thick clouds, only poked out half of his face, and looked at the army that was rushing like a rainbow on the grassland in horror, and the murderous aura swept towards the Qiuci King City in the distance with the roar of the horse's hooves.

"All stopped!" Chen Wu, who was at the forefront of the army, found the number of flying horses rushing in the distance, waved his hand, and gave an order in a loud voice, and then the sound of the command sounded one after another in the military column, but in a few moments, the galloping horse team stopped at the edge of a small forest.

"Report, General Chen, ten miles ahead is the King City of Qiuzi, and the contact person has been found." A cavalryman in the costume of a man rushed to the front of the army, nodded to the ground on one knee, and reported in a loud voice.

"Please." Chen Wu nodded and said a word concisely.

"Yes." The gang leader replied in a loud voice, strode to the few riders who were stopped dozens of steps away, and whispered a few words, and a black-clothed knight immediately turned over and dismounted, and followed the gang leader to Chen Wu's horse, bowed and saluted, and said without arrogance or humility: "Yan Wancheng see General Chen." ”

Although the person who came did not say his identity, Chen Wu, who had been in the Yue Wangfu for a long time, knew that the person who came must be a person from the "Rising Sun", and then heard that this person was surnamed Yan, and it was estimated that he was a child of the Yan family, so he didn't dare to slack off, and waved his hand very politely: "Mr. Yan is polite, the general has already arrived according to the plan, I don't know what the situation is in the city?" ”

Yan Wancheng nodded and said, "Everything is under control." After a pause, he continued: "General Chen is a quarter of an hour late, please hurry up, I am afraid that there will be changes." ”

Chen Wu was already desperate for his life on the way, how could he have to clear the scattered herdsmen and two small caravans he encountered along the road in order to keep it secret, so that he was delayed for a lot of time, although he had tried his best, but it was still a quarter of an hour later than the scheduled battle plan, at this time, hearing Yan Wancheng point out so unceremoniously, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but it was not good to attack, so he could only nod his head and said: "There is Mr. Lao Yan, please!" ”

Yan Wancheng didn't say anything more, nodded, walked to his own mount, turned over his horse, looked back at Chen Wudao: "General, please lead your troops to come with you." ”

After two days of rapid marching, he was already tired enough, and because of the dispute that broke out at the military meeting of the generals before, he was lectured by Yan Wancheng at this time, Chen Wu's face was not very good at all, but it was not easy to have a seizure, he looked at the direction of Qiuzi Wangcheng with a black face, and waved his hand violently: "The whole army is leaving!" Then he shook the reins of his horse and rushed first, and soon the cavalry procession, which had already stopped, galloped again and swept towards the city of Qiuzi......

"Second brother, come, drink, drink......" Sha Feiluo, who drank from the unitary time to the time of the unitary, was already flushed at this time, and was a little drunk, but he still kept raising the bottle to persuade the wine.

"Okay, drink!" Sha Kui, who let go, lost his former reserve, laughed and raised the bottle to drink with his brother, without the slightest fear of dying.

"General Sha, it's already three o'clock, look ......" Just as the Sha brothers were getting drunk, the captain of the personal guard poked his head in from outside the room again and reminded in a low voice.

"Damn, get out, when will it be your turn to call the shots? Get out of the way! Sha Feiluo impatiently slammed the wine bottle in his hand on a few sons, and scolded hatefully.

"Yes, yes, yes, the general is angry, but His Highness is ......" Although the captain of the personal guard was afraid of the anger of the sand flying camel, he still said with a white face. His Royal Highness in the mouth of the captain of the guard, referring to Bai Ningye, the eldest son of the king of Qiuci, this son and Sha Feiluo are jointly responsible for the defense of the city, according to the agreement, the two people are on duty, today it is the turn of Sha Feicamel to keep vigil, the two sides should have been handed over at the right time, and at this time it has already been nearly half an hour, this captain of the guard is the henchman of the king of Qiuci, and has come to remind him several times.

"Damn, shit!" Sha Feiluo scolded hatefully, and he didn't know whether he was scolding the captain of the guard or Bai Ningye, picked up the wine bottle on a few pieces, looked at Sha Kui affectionately and said, "Come, second brother, brother will give you a bottle at the end, let's go!" ”

"Okay, hahaha...... Sha Kui laughed loudly and picked up the wine bottle, and said arrogantly: "Happy, drink!" ”

Sha Feicamel drank all the wine in the bottle in one go, threw the wine bottle to the ground, and left the room without looking back, glared at the captain of the guard, and yelled: "Go, go to the city!" The roar was so loud that the captain of the personal guard trembled, and almost fell to the ground, hurriedly retreated to the side, and said with a low smile: "Yes, yes, yes, General Sha, please, and his subordinates will order to go." ”

Sha Feiluo didn't even bother to pay attention to the captain of the guard, shook his burly body, walked out of the house, took the reins of the horse handed over by the soldiers, turned over on the horse, and slowly walked towards the direction of the city wall.

"Boss, what is the birdman going to do?" A drunken soldier saw that the captain of the guard was far away, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Bah, mother, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, he/mother will only slap the sycophants." The head of the hundred households didn't like the captain of the personal guard at all, he didn't bother to say anything, and after scolding hatefully, he waved his hand and said: "Let's go, continue to drink, send those uncles on the road early tomorrow morning, and my brothers will be freed." ”

"That's, that's, let's go, drink, please, boss." The little soldier was obviously tired of the envoy who was guarding the prisoners of war of the Tang Army, and when he heard that he would be able to end this kind of drudgery early tomorrow morning, he was very happy, and followed behind the head of the hundred households with a smile, and walked into the gate, and without counting, the door that was suddenly closed, there was a noise of drunkenness again, and at the same time, in a small alley not far from this independent courtyard, Yan Seventeen silently observed everything that happened at the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw that everything was as expected in the plan, his heart immediately relaxed, He waved his hand lightly and said, "Let's act!" As soon as the words fell, he took the lead in leading more than a dozen black-clothed men to pour out of the alley, quickly rushed through the open space in front of the house, and quietly came to the courtyard wall, but saw that several black-clothed men shook their hands and threw their flying claws onto the tall courtyard wall, and after a black shadow shook, more than a dozen black-clothed men had quietly sneaked into the courtyard.

At four o'clock, Bai Ningye, the eldest son of the King of Guizi, was pacing back and forth in the city gate tower restlessly, cursing in a low voice, although the voice was vague, but if you listened carefully, you could hear that Bai Ningye was scolding the general Sha Feiluo, and he couldn't complain that Bai Ningye was angry, today it was Sha Feihu's turn to be on duty at night, and he should have completed the handover at the time of the time, but it had been nearly half an hour at this time, and he had not seen Sha Feihu appear, which made Bai Ningye, who was in a hurry to go back to the palace to hug Meijiao/Niang, gritted his teeth angrily, how could Sha Feihu now be a heavy general in the army, and won the favor of King Qiuzi, although Bai Ningye is the eldest son of the king, he does not dare to offend Sha Feiluo easily, after all, now that the war is in crisis, he has to rely on Sha Feiluo to support the war, on the other hand, Bai Ningye will have to be supported by the military if he wants to sit on the throne in the future, so although Bai Ningye is angry, he can only babble alone, and he does not dare to go too far.

"Ah, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm one step late, I've waited for a long time, hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Just when Bai Ningye was waiting anxiously, the drunken Sha Feicamel swayed into the city gate tower, and greeted with a smile on his face.

Although Bai Ningye had never led soldiers before, he could be regarded as a person who had read the book of soldiers for a few days, and this time he was ordered to assist Sha Feiluo to defend the city and hurriedly made up for the army, which can be regarded as a soldier with half a bucket of water, at this time, seeing Sha Feiluo coming drunk, his heart suddenly swelled with dissatisfaction, and he frowned and said: "General Sha, the enemy army is coming, the military situation is urgent, I am afraid that it will be an extraordinary time, how can I drink too much in the army, if I make a mistake, will I not live up to the hard work of my father's favored general?" ”

"Uh......" Sha Feicamel burped fiercely, waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, don't say that my Lao Sha didn't drink too much this time, even if I drank too much, it doesn't matter, hehe, even if the time is counted, the cavalry of the Tang Army can't fly to Wangcheng today, and it will be fast to get here the day after tomorrow, it's okay, it's okay, hehe, my Lao Sha still knows the importance of the military situation." ”

Bai Ningye was ordered to defend the city, and he had participated in the military deduction in front of the palace, and he knew in his heart that what Sha Feiluo said was true, but he was still very dissatisfied with Sha Feiluo's alcoholism, and frowned and said: "There is no big mistake in being careful, the general must not relax." ”

Bai Ningye said this politely, Sha Feiluo was not embarrassed to say anything, just shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the end will not be wrong, today the end will just drink a few more bottles of wine for the second brother's matter, if you can't miss something, Your Highness, please go back, and the end will go to the city." ”

Bai Ningye knew what was going on between the two brothers of the Sha family, and when he heard Sha Feiluo's words, he seemed to have the intention of executing Sha Kui, so he was stunned, and opened his mouth to ask, but at the end he still forcibly held back, just thinking about returning to the palace and then asking his father to understand, and he didn't say anything at the moment, nodded, and walked out of the city gate tower with Sha Feihuo, and went around everywhere, which was considered to have completed the handover, and then led his personal guards down the city and galloped away in the direction of the palace.

"Who?" Sha Kui's martial arts are not very good, but his hearing is excellent, basically when the sand thieves practiced the ability, since he knew that there would be a big operation tonight, he couldn't calm down, and when Sha Fei Camel left, although he had gone to the couch, he didn't really fall asleep, but put his ear on the wooden couch, quietly listening to the sounds around him, whether it was the sound of the slaves in the middle courtyard or the endless noise of guards in the outer courtyard, most of them were under his monitoring, A soft sound above his head couldn't hide his ears and eyes, and he hurriedly rolled over and got up, staring at the tile.

"The Long River." After a soft sound on the tile, a low, cold voice reached Shakui's ears.

It's started, it's finally begun! Sha Kui's heart jumped suddenly, and he couldn't help but gasp a few times, forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and replied in a low voice: "Sunset." The man on the tile did not speak again, and after a sound of swaying, a black shadow suddenly flashed, and a big man in black appeared in the room.

"Who are you?" Although Sha Kui was excited, he didn't dare to be careless, took a step back, widened the distance between him and the man in black, and asked in a low voice.

"Yan Seventeen came on the orders of His Highness." The man in black quickly gestured and replied in a low voice.

"Whew." Seeing that everything was the same as Sha Feiluo's explanation, Sha Kui's hanging heart immediately calmed down, nodded and said, "Okay, Ben is ready to stop, you can start." ”

Yan Seventeen didn't answer, just nodded, and in a flash, the person had already gone out of the door, and then with a raise of his hand, a black thing came out of his hand, roared into the air, and exploded a gorgeous firework with a "bang".

"What's going on?" The head of the hundred households, who was drinking with a group of subordinates, heard the sound in the courtyard was wrong, and hurriedly led the people out, and saw a gorgeous flower exploding in the night sky overhead, and was dumbfounded, unable to understand what this thing was, just looking up and looking stupidly, not only him, but also dozens of guards who rushed out when they heard the movement were all stunned to look at the night sky, and no one noticed that death had quietly sneaked to their side.

"Kill!" Just when everyone was immersed in the beauty of the fireworks, a cold voice suddenly sounded, and suddenly more than a dozen black-clothed men appeared on the courtyard wall and roof like ghosts, each black-clothed man held a black tube as thick as an adult's calf, and before the guards in the courtyard could figure out the situation, they heard a loud sound of machine springs, and more than a hundred steel arrows covered the crowd like a torrential rain, and the guards who were caught off guard were shot down in an instant, and the screams and shouts were extremely noisy, And the men in black at the height did not give this group of unlucky guards the slightest time to react, but when they saw the figure flickering, more than a dozen men in black had abandoned the chain crossbow in their hands, and each pulled out a bright steel knife, jumping down from a high place like a demon god, and the sword light flickered and had already killed in the crowd, and the drunken and weak guards were attacked by the chain crossbow, and there were not many people left, how to withstand the attack of the black-clothed masters, and the weak resistance was negligible and over, more than 100 Qiuzi guards guarding the prisoners of war of the Tang Army were all wiped out, and none of them were spared.

At this time, the gunpowder has not yet been officially launched, since there are no fireworks and firecrackers and other things, and only Li Zhen has the existence of such fireworks in his hands, such gorgeous fireworks bloom in the air, and its effect is amazing, the people who heard the sound in the city and saw the beauty of the fireworks were all shocked, no one knew what happened, both the army and the people all exclaimed, and for a time the city suddenly became chaotic, and the defenders at the head of the city saw the most clearly, and they were all alarmed, Completely forgetting about the defense of the city, all the officers and soldiers looked at the fireworks in the city at first, and talked non-stop, but no one noticed the appearance of a strange black line on the dark horizon in the distance.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!" Not long after the fireworks exploded, the south of the city and the north of the city almost burst into flames at the same time, the south of the city is the location of the slums, the houses are dense, the fire is out of control together, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it has gradually burned into a skyrocketing trend, and the north of the city is the location of the military camp, most of the army originally stationed in the royal city has been taken away by Bai Suxin at this time, and most of the rest have been transferred to the west of the city, the military camp in the north of the city is basically an empty camp, only a small number of soldiers are there, as soon as the fire is ignited, the people who fight the fire are insufficient, and the fire is uncontrollable. It also became a sky-high trend, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Qiuzi King City suddenly fell into chaos, and the shouts rang out.

Excited, so excited! Whether it was Sha Kui or the rest of the more than 200 Tang officers and soldiers who were rescued, they were all very excited, although they had not been subjected to any abuse these days, but the taste of being imprisoned was really not very pleasant, and the birds had eaten a lot, once they got out of trouble, everyone was happy, and they all gathered in the courtyard and jumped and screamed non-stop, many people even left tears of excitement, and the black-clothed masters who held the gang to rescue them kept shouting.

"General Sha, the army has arrived, it's okay and no later than later, it's time to go." Yan Seventeen understood the feelings of the captured officers and soldiers, but seeing that the scene was a little out of control, he hurriedly came to the ear of Sha Kui, who was also excited and howled, and reminded him in a low voice.

"Good!" Sha Kui calmed down instantly, jumped on a stone table in the courtyard, and said in a loud voice: "Sons, Your Highness's army has arrived, do you dare to go with this general to capture that fat pig?" ”

"Dare, dare, dare!" Although the more than 200 Tang officers and soldiers were dressed in rags, none of them flinched, and they let go of their throats and shouted loudly.

"Okay, get your weapons, go to the palace with General Ben, and capture that old thief alive!" Sha Kui waved his hand violently, jumped off the stone table, and rushed out of the courtyard first, and the Tang officers and soldiers immediately followed closely, roaring in the direction of the palace to kill the generals......
