A quarter of an hour, fleeting.

Pang Tong looked at the barbarians standing in the hall and ordered: "Send a signal and act according to the plan." ”

"No!"

The brute looked excited, turned around and retreated.

Pang Tong got up and walked to the big 'gate', he looked up at the starry sky, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, a sharp roar broke through the air, breaking the silence of Xiling City.

The sound of the arrow broke through the air, and it was even more dazzling with firelight.

"Whoa!"

Two arrows broke through the air in succession, and they rang out in the city at the same time.

Three arrows sounded, and the prelude was kicked off at once.

After a while, the direction of the Xilingcheng County Ya lit up the fire, and the fire burst into the sky. Immediately afterwards, the location of the government office also ignited a fire, and the fire was raging.

The county government and the government government were on fire at the same time, which attracted the attention of the county order of Xiling City.

The county commander of Xiling City constantly dispatched officials to extinguish the fire, and at the same time sent officials to the military camp to ask for Cheng Pu's support.

In the barracks, Cheng Pu listened to the words of the officials and flatly refused: "The fire is burning, and it is a big deal to burn down the county government and the government office." You go and tell the prefectural order and let him put out the fire with all his might. The army in the city will not participate in extinguishing the fire. ”

The officer's eyes were full of helpless expressions, and he could only retire abruptly.

Not long after, Han Dang, Ling Tong, Gan Ning and others also came to the Chinese army's big tent. At the same time, Cheng Pu had already ordered the soldiers to beat drums and gather the soldiers to ensure that they could send troops at any time.

Cheng Pu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the county government and the government government caught fire at the same time. Obviously, there are already Liu Xiu's people in Xiling City, and now they are starting to act. Their ultimate goal is definitely us. So tonight, you must cheer up the 'spirit'. As long as we survive tonight and defeat those hiding in the shadows, we can hold Xiling City. These people who are hiding in the city must be destroyed. ”

Gan Ning said: "The fire of the government and county government should be the first step. What's next, I don't know what it will be?"

Ling Tong's eyes rolled and said, "Liu Xiu's people created the fire, obviously hoping that we would send troops to rescue, and then take the opportunity to deal with us. It seems that their goal is to move us out of the barracks and then attack. ”

"General Cheng didn't send troops just now, and the other party's plan fell through. But this point, the other party must have expected it. The other party must have a second step, and the next step must be to 'force' us to go. ”

Ling Tong suddenly said: "Grain, only the grain in the granary. If something goes wrong with the granary, we won't be able to defend it. The other party's next plan must be the granary. ”

Han Dang frowned and said, "The granary is garrisoned by an army, and not everyone can 'mix' in. ”

Ling Tong said: "General Han, as long as you are willing to 'spend' your mind, everything is possible. ”

"Look, there's a fire in the direction of the granary. ”

Suddenly, Gan Ning stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the granary, with an anxious look in his eyes. Once the granary caught fire and the grain was burned, it would be impossible for Cheng Pu to hold Xiling City.

Cheng Pu's eyes were solemn and said, "The granary is on fire, and we must rescue." Even if you know that this is the other party's plan, there is no way. ”

"Gan Ning obeys orders!"

Cheng Pu shouted and gave the order directly.

"In!"

Gan Ning replied with a fist.

Cheng Pu ordered: "You lead two thousand soldiers as the vanguard, and immediately run in the direction of the granary." The granary is located in the south of the city, and if you go to the south of the city, you will definitely encounter an ambush, so be careful. ”

"No!"

Gan Ning clenched his fists and immediately went to mobilize the soldiers to leave.

It's just that Gan Ning has another idea in his heart, since he understands that the granary is on fire, he should withdraw directly, and now he is still going to fight the fire, but he can only fall deeper and deeper. But Gan Ning also understood Cheng Pu's thoughts. If the granary is guarded, it means that there is still hope for the next garrison in Xiling City.

Suddenly, Ling Tong said again: "General, it's not good, the equipment room in the southeast of the county town is also on fire." If a fire breaks out in the southwest direction, it must be a fire in the storehouse where bows and arrows, swords, and so on are stored. ”

Suddenly, in the southwest of the county, a fire also broke out.

Cheng Pu's eyes narrowed, and he ordered: "Ling Tong, you lead two thousand soldiers to go, you must be careful." ”

"No!"

Ling Tong nodded, turned around and left, and then led the soldiers to leave the barracks quickly.

At this time, only Cheng Pu and Han Dang were left.

Cheng Pu ordered: "Old Han, Gan Ning will definitely encounter an ambush on the way to the rescue." Therefore, you will lead two thousand more soldiers to the back. Once the opponent and Gan Ning 'flew', after the battle begins, you lead your army into the battlefield and defeat the opponent. If they can't defeat the other side, they will retreat to the south 'gate' and break out of the city from the south 'gate'. If you can't extinguish the fire after arriving at the granary, you can also retreat directly to the south 'gate'. The south 'gate' is guarded by Fantu, and it will definitely be able to be easily withdrawn. ”

Han Dang nodded and said, "What about you?"

Cheng Pu said: "After I led the soldiers to escort Ling Tong, I was also very worried about this way. ”

Han Dang nodded and said, "Take care!"

"Take care!"

Cheng Pu replied, and the two of them commanded their own soldiers. After an interval of a quarter of an hour, he began to lead his army out of the barracks and advance in the direction of Gan Ning and Ling Tong's troops.

At this time, outside the barracks, there were people who also disappeared in the shadows.

After Pang Tong got Cheng Pu's arrangement, a sneer appeared in his eyes, thinking that he could resist the army in two marches?

Obviously, it is impossible.

Gan Ning led his troops forward, and he has been advancing cautiously.

However, after walking more than half the way, we were already about to reach the granary, and there was still no ambush. This situation made Gan Ning's heart a little strange.

The closer you get to the granary, the brighter the light becomes, and the emperor is like day.

At this time, the ominous premonition in Gan Ning's heart was stronger.

"Oops!"

Suddenly, behind Gan Ning, a soldier shouted, but his feet slipped and he fell to the ground. Gan Ning looked back and ordered, "Get up quickly, there is grass on the ground, why did you still fall?"

After saying a word, Gan Ning's eyes suddenly widened.

Grass!

There was grass on the ground.

Gan Ning squatted down, picked up the grass on the ground three or two, and then reached out to 'touch'. It is slippery and greasy, and it has a taste of tung oil.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Gan Ning was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered to retreat.

Suddenly, a huge force of about thirty zhang in front of the street rushed out a group of soldiers, all of them holding large bows and 'shooting' arrows. Every bow and arrow is a rocket.

"Whoa!"

Rockets burst into the air, either 'shooting' at soldiers or landing on the ground.

The rocket landed on the ground and immediately set the hay on fire.

"Whew!"

The tung oil on the ground also burned immediately.

On the official road, I only saw fire snakes 'chaotic' and spread rapidly. The speed is almost dizzying. Gan Ning's heart was already completely shocked, he looked at the houses on both sides, and had no intention of rushing in at all. Once the fire burns, it is difficult for the houses on both sides to hide.

Fall back!

In Gan Ning's heart, there was only such a thought.

Gan Ning yelled and kept retreating with his soldiers, but when he and his soldiers turned around and retreated, they suddenly found that the rear was the same, and the fire was burning. On the long official road, the fire snake was 'chaotic', and the soldiers under Gan Ning's command were constantly 'chaotic', intending to break through.

It's just that there are people guarding the front and back of the pipeline, constantly 'shooting' arrows.

Gan Ning led the army to quickly break through, the fire burned, and Gan Ning also had flames on his body. After extinguishing the flames, he quickly retreated with his soldiers, but there were bows and arrows in front and back, and the fire burned.

The 2,000 soldiers under Gan Ning's command suffered heavy casualties.

After breaking out, there were less than 500 people around him.

When Han Dang found that there was a fire in front of him, he accelerated forward and chased after him. But after all, he was a quarter of an hour late, a quarter of an hour late. When he arrived, only Gan Ning and a few soldiers rushed out.

At this time, Gan Ning looked to the southwest and found that a fire was also burning near the instrument warehouse in the southwest direction.

"Ling Tong is also finished, he must have been ambushed as well. ”

Gan Ning sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that this time, it was simply someone who set up an ambush and waited for them to go.

When Han Dang saw this scene, he knew that it was impossible to rescue the food again. Therefore, he said directly: "No matter, let's go, let's go directly to the south 'gate' and prepare to break through." ”

Gan Ning nodded, led the exhausted and scarred soldiers, followed Han Dang, and walked towards the south 'gate'.
