Although he was already determined to raise troops, he was in a hurry, and He Yi did not make any preparations in advance.

The news I got from Pei Dong temporarily was that there were about 400 defenders in that county, and all of them were well-equipped.

On the other hand, on his side, although at first glance there are more people than the county mansion, not many people can directly participate in the battle.

And the more than 500 unarmed civilians have also become a burden at this moment.

Although they are all young heroes, they have no training and no courage and morale, so it is impossible for He Yi to let these people enter the frontal battlefield, which is no different from sending them to death.

The only people who can fight immediately are the dozens of elites brought by Gongliangju, plus some jailers, a total of more than a hundred people.

100 against 400 people, facing four times the strength of your own side, it is naturally extremely difficult to win.

But it's not completely impossible.

First, it was late at night, and it was impossible for news from the prison to spread quickly.

Second, not all of the 400 county guards were dressed in armor, most of them were resting, and only a small part of the team was on night patrol.

If it is properly concealed and the command does not make mistakes, it is not impossible to cross the battle stage and directly rush into the mansion to take down the county governor himself.

But there may be a little change in it, and He Yi has to think about it.

He wasn't sure if there were any other cultivators in the county mansion.

After all, at this stage, the gap between cultivators and ordinary soldiers was too great, and even just one of the lowest cultivators was enough to turn the tide of the battle in a moment.

"General Pei, you take these five hundred civilians outside the city, so that they can be resettled, and if no one responds tomorrow morning, they will immediately go elsewhere to make a living. He Yi said.

"Major General, I only need to send a soldier for this matter, I ......"

"This matter has to be yours, don't shirk!" Without waiting for Pei Dong to say anything to me, He Yi hurriedly explained: "First, you have a lot of relationship with the city gate guard, and you may relax your vigilance, if you are someone else, you will not be able to get out of the city smoothly at all." Second, once something happens in the city, the city defense army will inevitably hear the news, and you will be responsible for dragging them down, maybe you can do it?"

The task He Yi gave to Pei Dong seemed safe, but it was not easy.

If, after the start of the battle, the city defenders came diagonally and intervened, it would only make them more scrambling.

"The last general will not disgrace his mission!" Pei Dong clenched his fists and took the order.

He Yi nodded, and then instructed Jia Shao, "Xiao Shao, you lead half of the jailers to the back door of the county mansion, and try to attract the patrolling soldiers. ”

"Yes, lord!" Jia Shao clenched his fists and commanded.

"Yunyi, you just wait in the distance, let Xiao Shao act first, and when the back door of the county mansion is on fire, immediately storm the main gate!"

"Yun Yi took the order. Gongliang Ju bowed and said.

(Note: Gongliang Ju table word cloud meaning.) ）

...... ......

This night snow continues.

The sound of horses' hooves on the muddy night road was constant, like the sound of tapping on the edge of a war drum.

Nervous, throbbing.

After a while, everything was arranged, and it was a matter of man-made to hope that nothing would go wrong in the action.

Pei Dong took five hundred civilians disguised as sergeants, walked to the city gate, held torches high, and shouted to the defenders above: "I am Pei Dong of the recruitment camp, I am the county Cheng ordered to go out of the city to do business, and open the door quickly!"

Or because of the siege of Li Rongzhai a few days ago, it brought a great sense of crisis to the defenders in the county, so even in the middle of the night, there are still many soldiers on the city tower who are keeping vigil.

"Isn't this General Pei? What are you going out to do so late?" the defenders on the wall wondered.

"The county lord has a secret order, and I can't tell you. Pei Dong said expressionlessly.

"Uh...... In this case, I asked General Pei to wait. ”

One of the defenders looked down with a torch, and when he saw that it was indeed Pei Dong, he did not hesitate to open the city gate.

Although they were puzzled in their hearts, after all, both parties were old acquaintances, and it was not easy to look up and look down, so it was not difficult to do much.

Besides, this out of the city is not into the city, and Pei Dong didn't bring any carriages and horses, only some lightly armed people, so even the link of inventory can be omitted, and the door can be opened directly to let him go.

So, under the leadership of Pei Dong, the more than 500 civilians walked out of the city in an orderly manner.

The danger of the civilians has been solved, and all that remains is how to hold back the city defense army......

Not long after, Pei Dong turned his horse and walked back, and asked the defenders at the city gate, "Thank you for your accommodation! Dare to ask General Zhang where he is now? Pei has some urgent matters here, and he will discuss with General Zhang now." ”

The general Zhang in his mouth is the general who commands the city defense army.

"General Zhang was in the barracks. The sergeant replied.

The barracks of the city gate defenders were not far from the city gate, and Pei Dong rode his horse for less than a quarter of an hour before he came to the barracks and knocked on the door.

"It's Pei Dong, it's so late, what are you doing here?" General Zhang slept with his armor on, his sleepy eyes were a little worried, obviously he had just woken up.

It was snowing outside, the cold wind was blowing, and General Zhang couldn't help but shiver when he opened the door, and there was a slight complaint in his tone.

"I just sent some things out of the city, and I happened to pass by, and I heard that you were on duty in the barracks tonight, so I came to you to catch up with you. Pei Dong didn't see any outside, walked into the barracks by himself, and poured himself a bowl of hot tea.

"Send something, what needs to be sent out in the middle of the night?———— eh, you guy......" The general asked casually, seeing that Pei Dong only poured tea for himself, but did not pour it for him, he was immediately a little displeased, and said in his heart, "Didn't Pei Dong hit an evil today? Why do you not understand the rules so much.

"It's nothing, it's just the five hundred civilians who were arrested by the county during the day. Now, by the order of my lord, I will send them to refuge outside the city. Pei Dong took a sip of hot tea and said very relaxedly.

It's freezing cold, and being able to take a sip of hot tea is really the most wonderful thing in the world.

"Alas, you are a general in charge of ordnance, and if you do what they do, those people are also unlucky...... You, what are you talking about?" the general Zhang was halfway through his speech, and his expression suddenly changed. He could hear that Pei Dong had something to say.

It stands to reason that the masters of both of them should be county officials, but Pei Dong first said that the county was the king, and then said that he was ordered by the lord, which is obvious that the lord Pei Dong was referring to was not the county lord himself.

This illustrates————

Pei Dong rebelled.

General Zhang's gaze suddenly sharpened, his eyes swept around, and he was about to reach for the weapon that was placed aside.

Boom!

At this moment, the cold light flashed, and Pei Dong was seen pulling out the sword at his waist at an extremely fast speed, directly across the side of General Zhang's neck.

"Don't move!" Pei Dong looked at him coldly.

"Pei Dong, what are you doing! Dare to use force against me, do you want to rebel?" General Zhang scolded sharply, feeling the sharp coldness on his neck, but the cold sweat was trickling down.

"Rebellion? Hmph, so what? I said Lao Zhang, you and I have worked together for many years, and for the sake of this friendship, I advise you: No matter what happens tonight, don't go out of the barracks, let alone let the city defenders enter the county, if not...... Don't blame me for not remembering the old love!"

Pei Dong said, the sword in his hand moved forward a little, and a slight red blood slit slowly emerged from General Zhang's neck.

...... ......

The back door of the county mansion is deep in an inconspicuous narrow alley.

Although this is only the back door, there are still patrolling guards passing in front of the door, and it is obviously impossible to break into the door directly.

However, Jia Shao is indeed very clever, and he used the methods of playing around on weekdays together, but he brought a few "drunks", and he entered the alley unconsciously.

"What do you say, this wine...... But we've got the best wine in the plains, and you don't think it tastes good?"

"Cut! What is this...... It's sour and smelly, you haven't, you haven't been to Dacheng and haven't seen the world, Huyang, Pingyang, Puyang and Jianyang, the wine there is good...... Good wine!"

“......”

In the middle of the night, several drunken men, holding several large jars of wine in their hands, staggered into this alley, stumbling and stumbling, and did not know how much wine they drank, showing their drunkenness.

"Let's go, the inn is closed, let's go to my house, and then ...... Then drink!, I'm going to drink you stinky boys, and lie down!" said the man with a drunken face.

"Go to your house, don't go, don't go......" the other refused.

It is not strange to get drunk late at night, after all, in this perennial cold plain, wine is the same as cotton clothes, and it is also a standing thing to keep out the cold.

Moreover, these men were neither armed nor drunkards, so they were not much of a threat, and the soldiers on patrol did not pay attention to them even if they saw them.

"Eh, why do you regret it if you don't get drunk?"

"Why don't you regret it, I don't drink it today, I don't drink it!"

"You can't be scared, are you?" Cut, you still brag about how much you drink every day, don't you blush?" said another.

"Afraid? Lao Tzu has never been afraid of drinking! Who dares to say that Lao Tzu is afraid, who is Lao Tzu anxious!"

"Haha, I think you're just scared. ”

“...... Who is afraid? Who is afraid? If you dare to say that again, believe it or not, I will beat you!"

It's easy to lose your mind when you're drunk, and it's easier to get angry.

The man was laughed at, his eyes turned red, and he smashed the wine jar in his hand towards the man in front of him.

The man shrewdly dodged, and then heard a loud bang, and the wine jar was impartial, and it was smashing on the back door of the county mansion.

Bang!

The wine spilled, smashing the back door into a wet spill.

"You dare to hit me with a wine jar?" Seeing this, the man immediately fought back with the wine jar in his hand.

Bang!

Bang!

After a few strokes, the wine spilled all over the floor, and it was everywhere.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, almost all of the jars of wine smashed out smashed on the back door of the county mansion, and even most of them slipped into the county mansion through the cracks in the door, and the choking smell of alcohol spread everywhere.

"Who dares to make trouble in the county mansion!"

Such a movement instantly alarmed the soldiers in the county mansion, and soon seven or eight armored guards rushed out and surrounded these drunks who were making trouble.

"Yohe, do you still dare to call for rescuers?" The man before was drunk and hazy, and when he saw someone rushing over, he thought it was a rescuer brought by the other party, so he suddenly became angry, and hurriedly threw a large jar of liquor forward, and threw it into the county mansion along the back door that had just been opened.

Bang!

"How dare you go wild, I'll kill you drunk!" Seeing this, one of the soldiers directly waved a big-eared scraper and slapped it in the face of the person who threw the wine jar.

Syllable!

This slap is not heavy, the man's face hurts, and he suddenly sobered up a little, and when he saw clearly that the armor of the person in front of him was bright, and the sword was sharp, he was so frightened that he trembled, and hurriedly said: "The original ...... It turned out to be an official, a small one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and a small one who knows his mistakes, and I hope that all adults will ...... a lot"

"Measure your size! Hit me!" said the soldiers, going up and punching and kicking them.

At this moment, a flame suddenly lit up on the eaves of a roof not far away.

It was a fire arrow, shot out from the bowstring, like a meteor in the night, falling on the back door of the county's mansion.

When the liquor met the flames, only to hear the sound of the ground, the fire spread in an instant with lightning speed, reflecting half of the sky red.

Immediately afterward, dozens of sharp arrows galloped in, piercing the chests of those pro-soldiers with unmistakable accuracy.

"Keep setting fires!

Outside the streets, more than a dozen black-clad assassins dressed in black and armed with serial rage poured out of the darkness, killing people when they saw them, and wantonly setting fires when they were empty.

Soon, the raging flames completely ignited the back door of the county's mansion.

"Yes...... There are assassins!"

After a moment of panic, a cry of warning pierced the night sky.
