After seeing that the other party was on the city wall, he put the cloud ladder up, and Lu Bei hurriedly said: "Your Highness, they didn't open the city gate, how can we get in later?"

Fang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, someone will open the city gate." ”

Dong Canghai said suddenly: "Your Highness, when the other party enters the city, the first thing must be to rescue Ma Hongtu and the others, and then he will go to the inn to find us, if he doesn't find us, will he suspect that we have left the city?"

Fang Ling said with a smile: "Of course not, I have been staying in the Lin Mansion recently, and I am deeply valued by Lin Jie, it is impossible for them not to know this, and when we entered the Lin Mansion today, there were still two soldiers watching us, they couldn't find us in the inn, they would only think that we had gone to the City Lord's Mansion, so that whether they wanted to or not, they would definitely attack the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Everyone couldn't help nodding secretly, Fang Ling's strategy was to link one link to another, calculate the enemy's mind well, and make a good sleeve for the other party to drill.

After a while, I saw a sudden fire in the city, and then I heard someone shouting, "It's on fire, put out the fire!"

However, together with this fire, there were fires in several places, and Shen Huantian couldn't help laughing and said: "Cai Guo's elite soldiers are quite powerful, and if you put a fire in the city, you can make these people chaotic." ”

Now in the summer, the weather is very dry, once the materials are on fire, it spreads very quickly, although most of the city is stone houses, but there are also a lot of wooden structures, especially inns, and a large number of houses are also stored in various materials, all of which are flammable.

The fire burned the sky red, and soon, the city gate opened, and a group of merchants of the Wang clan fled from it in a hurry, most of them were undressed, some of their faces were blackened, and they stood in groups of three or five in the open space outside the city, helpless to such a scene.

This frontier is hilly and has little water, which is why the houses are built in stone, because once there is a fire, it is difficult to control, so seeing the fire in the city getting bigger and bigger, everyone is helpless.

Fang Ling was not in a hurry to lead the troops into the city, but signaled everyone to close their eyes and rest for a while, Cai Guojing's soldiers wanted to assassinate the defenders in the city, rescue Ma Hongtu, and attack the city lord's mansion to rob Song Ying'er, this series of things is not so easy to do, and the more ruthless the two sides fight, the more beneficial it will be for Fang Ling and others.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of fighting in the city, and the sound of sonorous swords even reached the wilderness, and some of the bold children of the Wang clan ran into the city to take a look, and then ran out in a panic, and shouted at the same time: "Cai Guo's army is here!"

The children of the Wang clan were taken aback, and many people also knew that Cai Guo's army had intentions against Blackwood City, but they didn't expect the other party to carry out a night attack.

Doing business with soldiers and bandits, whether it is the local magnates of Cai State or the local magnates of Chu State, everyone does it secretly, but if Blackwood City becomes owned by Cai State, it is treason for Chu State magnates to do business with each other, and Cai State magnates do this, it is equivalent to handing their handles into the hands of officials, which is also very bad.
