Chapter 740: The Great Fire

There are not many people left in Chengfu, twelve of them are Cheng Yulian's henchmen and house slaves, and the rest are unwitting maids and porters.

The last one is the mastermind Niu Bian. This ugly-looking Mr. Xixi also came to the courtyard with a steel knife in his hand.

"Mr. Niu. It's all about success or failure. If we lose, we'll have to go down to Yellow Springs together. Cheng Yulian's face was full of excitement, without the slightest fear, only the joy of doing big things.

"The master is right. One step of bliss, one step of the netherworld. Niu Yan nodded, different from Cheng Yulian's excitement, his expression was very calm.

Twelve house slaves are setting fires everywhere. The firewood, liquor, and cloth piled up in the mansion were quickly ignited, and the flames soon engulfed the entire mansion.

Cheng Yulian watched his ancestral house gradually turn into ashes, not only did he not feel distressed, but became more and more excited.

The unwitting maidservants, rough women, and porters were panicked, like headless flies, screaming and running to the gate.

"Quick. Set fires everywhere. Cheng Yulian saw that the fire was out of control, and immediately ordered.

He led the oxen and twelve house slaves, raised torches, shouted loudly, and kept setting fires.

"General Fu Han has come to the city. The Yan Han will win. Whoever I am a man of great courage. Set fire to the house and help General Fu Han enter the city. ”

They set fire to it and chanted.

Cheng Yulian's neighbors are also big families, they looked at Cheng Yulian like a crazy demon, and while scolding, they fled with their families.

"Cheng Xiu is crazy and set fire to his ancestral home. Loser. ”

"If Lao Cheng had knowledge under the spring, he would definitely jump out of the coffin and kill this unfilial son."

"Damn. He burned himself, why did he burn our house? ”

Whether he wanted to or not, Cheng Yulian led people to set fire along the road, which quickly caused chaos in this area.

The situation near Chengfu quickly attracted the attention of the whole city.

A single house.

The family's surname is Gu, and the male owner is called Gu Jin. He is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, strong and strong, and works for a living.

His wife's surname is Wang, and they have five children.

The husband and wife woke up when they heard the sound of killing, quickly put on their clothes, and gathered their children. When Gu Jin heard Cheng Yulian's slogan, his eyes lit up. He turned to Wang and said, "Madam." General Fuhan is here. We don't have much to contribute. And he burned the house. ”

"You immediately take your children and take refuge in Brother Chen's house next door."

Hearing this, Wang said incredulously: "Be in charge." We burned down our home, how are we going to survive in the future? ”

Gu Jin smiled: "I have hands and feet, why can't I survive?" And the general enters the city, and our life is definitely better than it is now. Listen to me. Take it and go with it. ”

"Okay." Wang's personality is soft and unassertive, so he has to listen to his husband. Reluctantly, he cleaned up his softness, took his children with him, and went to the neighbor next door.

"My fire is not small." Gu Jin held the torch in his hand and looked back at his house, also a little reluctant, but gritted his teeth and set the fire to it.

Compared with the fire in Chengfu, this fire is naturally not worth mentioning, but it is also a spark.

There were still many people in the city who responded.

The Zhang family's mansion, one of the three households in Yangwu. It's not far from Chengfu. Zhang Xingshui, who was in charge of the house, stood under the porch in a black coat, holding a steel knife to defend himself.

The domestic slaves of the Zhang family have weapons and those who have no weapons take wooden sticks, and they are ready to fight.

"Sir. The villain inquired clearly. It was Cheng Yulian who burned his ancestral house and caused chaos in the city. A majestic house slave came galloping in, panting.

Zhang Xingshui's face showed a look of surprise, and he said to himself: "That showman, how dare he be? ”

He pondered for a long time, and then ordered the house slave: "Call the old and weak out, and wrap the ancestral tablet." We also burned our own mansion in response to him. ”

"Sir. This is a century-old ancestral home. Why should we respond to Cheng Yulian? The majestic house slave was shocked when he heard this, and asked.

Zhang Xingshui said lightly: "My house is being monitored by Mengyuan people, and guarding me is like a thief." I'm afraid of how I and Wu Nian will be. I'm not that fanatical about Wu Nian, but I've had enough of it. ”

"Hugh has to say more. Set. ”

"Yes." The majestic house slave was still reluctant, but he had no choice but to call the house slave to set fire together. Soon after, the Zhang family's mansion also burned down.

Zhang Xingshui let the old and weak go to a nearby relative's house. He also led his slaves to revolt in the city.

The situation is starting to get out of hand.

On the castle. The Mengyuan soldiers who were facing the battle were stunned to find that countless places in the city were on fire, as if they were sparks and wanted to ignite the entire city.

And the sound of slogans is getting louder and louder.

"General Fu Han has come to the city. The Yan Han will win. Whoever I am a man of great courage. Set fire to the house and help General Fu Han enter the city. ”

"General Fu Han has come to the city. The Yan Han will win. Whoever I am a man of great courage. Set fire to the house and help General Fu Han enter the city. ”

There were constant shouts, and people kept joining the ranks.

And all the people of the city rebelled.

"Let's go. Come on. Burned the granary. Abandon the city gates. Assemble and get out of town. The commanders and officers finally gave up defending the city, and beckoned the soldiers to go down the city wall and burn the barracks, and at the same time assemble at the gate where it was not attacked.

Although panicked, the quality of the Mengyuan soldiers was still there. Moreover, Wu Nian would not accept the Mengyuan people, none of them wanted to surrender, and all of them followed the officers.

When they reached the city gate, the thousands of defenders of the city opened the gate and fled into the night, where they did not know.

And the fire in the city is getting bigger and bigger. Some of them were set on fire by the people, and some of them were set on fire by the Mengyuan people who set fire to the granaries and treasury.

There was no Mengyuan warrior in the city to defend it, and Wu Nianjun's soldiers successfully used simple ladders to climb the city wall and quickly controlled the city gate.

A thousand households climbed the city wall and looked into the city. Immediately ordered to the left and right: "Open the city gate and welcome the general in." ”

"Immediately scattered to help put out the fire. Other than that. Beware of ambushes in the city. ”

"Yes." One of the soldiers answered, and immediately gave the order to go down. The soldiers of this thousand households began to put out fires in the city.

Soon after, Wu Nianjun's brigade entered the city from the two city gates and quickly launched firefighting work.

It was still dark, and the city was in chaos.

There may also be hidden Mengyuan soldiers, Wu Nian did not move around, after entering the city, he and Wang Gui turned over and dismounted together, walked on the city wall, and entered the city gate tower to wait for dawn.

"Brother. Finally, we have a city. The Seven Star Array of the Mengyuan people is missing a leg. The situation has changed. ”

Wu Nian hadn't slept all day and night, but he was in good spirits, sat down cross-legged, looked up at Wang Gui, and said with a smile.

"That's right. Next, we will conquer one city after another, and take it down. Wang Gui was very excited, and nodded happily.
