After this meal of wine was eaten until Kou Zhong was drunk, Lin Sumo himself brought a two-foot square wooden box, put it in front of Kou Zhong and said: "Put this thing under the wall of the east gate of Tongcheng, ignite it with fire, and after that, don't look back, run as far as you want!" ”

In the wooden box was the thunder that Lin Sumo had nothing to do, because of the material, Lin Sumo didn't know how powerful it was, so he prepared some more. The ignition could not be delayed, it could only be made longer, about a foot long, but it was enough for Kou Zhong to escape to a safe position.

Kou Zhong didn't know why, but he had always obeyed Lin Sumo's words and didn't ask much, so he went down the mountain with the box on his back, and behind Kou Zhong, Lin Sumo vaguely saw a familiar figure following.

Taking advantage of the night, Kou Zhong sneaked towards the east gate of Tongcheng with a wooden box on his back. After the time, it was the time when the Sui army defending the city was most tired, and no one found Kou Zhong's trace until the moat.

In Tongcheng, Qin Shubao, who had been fighting for a day, was not in the mood to sleep, so he simply put on his battle armor and went up to the city wall to inspect it, so as not to be attacked by the Jianghuai army on the opposite side at night.

Looking at the Jianghuai army camp opposite, Qin Shubao couldn't help sighing, the courage of the Jianghuai army is far better than the Sui army a hundred times, the reason why the Sui army can hold on for so many days is all because the walls of Tongcheng are tall and strong, if it is on the wilderness plain, the Sui army may have been defeated long ago.

Qin Shubao looked outside the South Gate for a while, and was about to turn around and patrol in the direction of the East Gate Tower, when suddenly his eyelids jumped suddenly, and a cold air rushed straight to his head from the soles of his feet.

Dangerous!

Qin Shubao suddenly warned in his heart, it seemed that something big would happen, but Qin Shubao looked left and right, but did not see the Jianghuai army attacking the city, and when he didn't know where the warning came from, he suddenly saw a flash of fire flickering under the tower of the East Gate, and then a figure galloped away like lightning.

"Kou Zhong?"

Qin Shubao was shocked, at this time, Kou Zhong appeared under the East Gate City, it would definitely not be a good thing.

"Enemy attack!"

Qin Shubao took a sharp breath and roared loudly.

A thunderous sound resounded through the night sky, waking up the entire Tongcheng.

However, in the next moment, a louder and louder voice suddenly burst open from the direction of the east gate, shaking through the sky and cracking through the clouds. Immediately after a period of shaking, the entire east city gate and the city wall of more than 20 zhang on the left and right all collapsed and became a ruin.

"It's over!"

Qin Shubao's heart was shocked, the city wall collapsed, Tongcheng was difficult to hold onto, and the fall was only in an instant.

Outside the east gate, Kou Zhong fell heavily into the mound, only to feel as if his whole body was torn apart, and his head was even more like someone had been hit with a heavy hammer, buzzing.

Struggling to get up, Kou Zhong couldn't help but be afraid for a while, just now, if he hesitated a little, even a few snaps of his fingers, he was afraid that he would turn into a puddle of flesh like the city wall.

"Zhong Shao!"

Xu Ziling was already far behind Kou Zhong, although he was also affected by the impact of the thunder explosion, but Xu Ziling did not continue to move forward when he was not alert, and when he saw Kou Zhong fleeing frantically, Xu Ziling turned around and fled without thinking about it, because Xu Ziling was much less affected than Kou Zhong.

"Ling Shao, I'm going to die, remember to pour me a hundred jars of wine every year today, and I will die blindly!" Not far away, Kou Zhong's weak voice came.

Xu Ziling was startled, and hurriedly flew over, but saw Kou Zhong lying in the dirt pit, looking at him with a smile. Xu Ziling understood in an instant, and punched Kou Zhong, but he didn't want to affect the wound, causing Kou Zhong to cry out in pain.

"Ling Shao, is Daddy Du here?" Kou Zhong asked.

Xu Ziling looked back in the direction of the Jianghuai camp, only to see the fire in the camp, the sound of drums, the entire Jianghuai army poured out, rushing towards the east gate of Tongcheng.

The battle lasted until dawn, and the Jianghuai army had cleared the Sui army in the city, and the Tongcheng County Ya officially fell into the hands of the Jianghuai army.

Although Du Fuwei didn't know what means Kou Zhong used, in the face of this section of the collapsed city wall, Du Fuwei couldn't help but be secretly frightened, so he turned his head to look at Kou Zhong.

Seeing this, Kou Zhong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Daddy Du, don't look at me, I don't know what it is, just put that thing downstairs at the city gate, and then lit a fire!" ”

"It seems to smell of saltpeter and sulfur!"

Wang Xiongdan grabbed a handful of burnt soil, sniffed it, and said.

"Is that Lin Sumo?"

Du Fuwei stared at Kou Zhong and asked.

Kou Zhong didn't hide it, nodded, Du Fuwei couldn't help but feel a chill when he saw this, the power of this thing is definitely beyond human power to resist, with Lin Sumo's cultivation, if he secretly puts one in the Jianghuai camp, I'm afraid that the entire Jianghuai camp will be full of corpses.

"Clean up this place, today's events must not be passed on!"

After saying that, Du Fuwei walked towards the city of Tongcheng. Du Fuwei knew very well in his heart that Lin Sumo's fake hand Kou Zhong made the credit for capturing Tongcheng, which was to detain this great merit on Kou Zhong's head, and his intentions were good, and Du Fuwei had to cooperate.

However, the methods used were too horrific so as not to cause panic, and Du Fuwei decided to order the closure anyway.

Tongcheng County Ya, Du Fuwei sat in the hall to raise the tent, and summoned the main generals of the Jianghuai Army to gather together, that is, Fugong Qi, who was far away in Shucheng, received the news of the capture of Tongcheng, and also rushed over early in the morning, and was sitting at the place where Du Fuwei was at the moment.

Fu Gong Yi is the second person in the Jianghuai Army, Du Fuwei occupies Liyang, after claiming to be the general manager, he appoints Fu Gong Yi as the long history, this time the Jianghuai Army uses troops on two fronts, and Fu Gong Yi went to Shucheng to supervise the army on the order of Du Fuwei.

The number of Sui troops defending the city of Shucheng is less than one-tenth of Tongcheng, only about 2,000 people, Fugong Qi besieged but did not attack according to the established strategy, attracting Sui troops to come to help, and shared the pressure for the battle of Tongcheng, and now Tongcheng has fallen, and it is not far to take Shucheng again.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at Fu Gong Yi, and Fu Gong Qi's eyes also fell on the two of them, and after a while, Fu Gong Yi laughed and asked, "Chief Manager, these two young heroes must be Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling?" ”

Du Fuwei nodded and said: "Yes, it is my two children, this time Kou Zhong has made a great contribution, and the chief wants to make him a former general, what does Gong Yi think?" ”

Fu Gongyi's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he was quickly covered up, with Fu Gongyi's understanding of Du Fuwei, since Du Fuwei had already said this, it was more appropriate to give a notice than to ask.

Fu Gong Yi laughed and said: "The chief manager has handled it properly, General Kou has made great contributions, and he is a reward, but the other soldiers have also worked hard to attack the city this time, and the chief manager has not forgotten to reward him!" ”

Du Fuwei bowed his head and said: "That's natural, so the general manager is going to appoint Kan Ling as the left general, Wang Xiong as the right general, and other generals at all levels will be promoted by one level, and then depending on the merits, they will be rewarded!" ”

The Jianghuai army repaired in Tongcheng for three days, and Du Fuwei also ordered the army to be sacrificed for three days.

And Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also participated in the war and fought bravely, and gradually integrated into the Jianghuai army, and were recognized by Kan Ling and other generals.

On this day, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were drinking wine and eating meat with Kan Ling on the city, and when the wine was full, Kou Zhong asked casually: "Brother Kan, haven't you found that Qin Shubao yet?" ”

Kan Ling drank heavily and said: "That guy seems to be loyal, but in fact he is cunning, when the city is broken, he can't do anything, so he sneaked away early in the chaos of the army, I have sent someone to chase it, I must have news soon!" ”

"Brother Kan doesn't need to send someone to chase after him, isn't that coming?" Xu Ziling pointed outside the city and said.

Kou Zhong and Kan Ling both turned their backs to the outside of the city, and turned around at the same time when they heard the words, only to see that in the wilderness in the distance, a burly man was hurrying over, who else would it be if it wasn't Qin Shubao?

At this moment, Qin Shubao had taken off the Sui army armor, wearing a green coat, two iron shovels wrapped in cloth and carrying them behind his back, and galloped all the way over, until under the city gate, Qin Shubao raised his head and shouted: "Open the door!" ”

Kan Ling was stunned for a moment, not knowing this Qin Shubao, so he ordered someone to open the city gate and escort Qin Shubao up.

Kou Zhong jumped up, pulled Uncle Qin over and sat down with a smile, and asked, "Since Brother Qin has already escaped from Tongcheng, why did he come back to the net?" ”

Qin Shubao glared at Kou Zhong angrily, only feeling that these two people were definitely his own disaster stars, the last time they surrounded and suppressed Wagangzhai, it was also these two people who made a hindrance from it, allowing Shen Luoyan and others to escape, this time he directly lost Tongcheng, and it was difficult to return to the Sui army.

"The last general is ordered to serve under General Kou!" Qin Shubao arched his hand.

Kan Ling immediately shouted when he heard this, and said: "No, if you want to serve the Jianghuai Army, you will also go to my account, Kou Xiaozi's former general is just an empty shell, and there is no soldier under the account!" ”

Qin Shubao sneered: "It's not impossible to go to your account, I have to wait until you are better than the double gong in my hand!" ”

Kan Ling immediately closed his mouth when he heard this, after a battle before, Kan Ling knew that this Qin Shubao was much better than himself in martial arts, and even if he practiced for another three or five years, he might not be able to win.

Seeing this, Kou Zhong laughed heartily and said, "Brother Kan, how can there be no soldiers under this general's account, isn't there just one?" Speaking of this, Kou Zhong turned to Qin Shubao and said, "But Brother Lin sent you?" ”

After Kou Zhong thought about it, he was able to subdue Qin Shubao, and the only one who made him listen to his orders willingly was Lin Sumo.

"Not bad!"

Qin Shubao nodded and said: "Master Lin said that he has reached an agreement with Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyi, and Kou Zhong can set up an army on his own in the Jianghuai Army, and as for the source of troops, let Kou Zhong figure out his own way." ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong couldn't help but set his eyes on Kan Ling, seeing this, Kan Ling shook his head and said: "My 'upper recruitment camp' is only three or four thousand people, you lack manpower to find the right general to go!" ”

Although Kou Zhong and Wang Xiongtan are also familiar with each other, they are not as casual as Kan Ling, and yesterday Wang Xiongtan had led a large army to Shucheng on the order of Du Fuwei, and Kou Zhong would not chase Shucheng for this matter.

"It seems that you have to figure out a way, and if you can't even do this little thing, it's a joke."

Thinking of this, Kou Zhong's eyes turned on Qin Shubao, and he asked Kan Ling, "What should we do with those captured Sui troops?" ”
