The moonlight shone obliquely on the coastal tower, peeking at the sleeping defenders through the arrow holes, on the city wall, the patrol team walked listlessly according to the prescribed route, occasionally stopped, climbed on the battlement to look at the city, listened to the movement in the distance, only the familiar blue and blue earth in the eyes, and the sound of running water in the moat sounded a little more sleepy in the quiet moonlit night.

The city wall made of bluestone is not so much to defend against strong enemies, but to resist the tide, because it is too close to the sea, although it is the government but does not have the magnificent momentum and prosperity of the cities under its jurisdiction, it is more like a military fortress with heavy fortification.

Outside the coastal city, Qinghe Bay is several miles in radius, surrounded by stone walls on three sides, there are long walls on the east and west sides to connect with the city of Fucheng, enclosing the outer city of Nuoda, there are no merchants and residents in the meantime, rows of warehouses hoard countless grains, grass and ordnance, the warships in the river bay in the south of the city are listed, Yangbo, Zhenyuan, Jinghai, the elite three battalions of the East China Sea Army, the wartime organization is a legion, and Qinghe Bay is its military port.

It is said that the strategic and geographical areas should be heavily guarded, but the reality is quite the opposite; the battlefield is thousands of miles away, and the Qinghewan Military Port has not only not strengthened its vigilance; in order to facilitate the transportation of military supplies, there are merchant fleets coming in and out of the bay every day, and the barrage has not been pulled up again, but dozens of small boats have been added for inspection.

In the middle of the night, the wind is more rapid, the patrol on the city wall hides in the arrow tower, dozens of black shadows are drilled out of the moat, crawl on the ground to approach the city wall, and soon the cat rises at the root of the wall, a group of five people will drag the bamboo pole to lean on the city wall, six people climb up the head of the city along the bamboo pole, untie the rope around the waist and tie it at the battlement, after putting it down along the city wall, tiptoe to the arrow tower on both sides, and the short knife that clings to the forearm shines cold light in the moonlit night.

Arrow Tower, the half-asleep patrol members heard the sound, each of them inserted a crossbow bolt into their throats, several black shadows flashed in, slowly put the corpse on the ground, one raised a short knife to make a gesture, dozens of archers in their sleep first let cut their throats and then insert a knife in their hearts.

The ancient city on a moonlit night is full of poetry in the eyes of literati and ink writers, but in Li Zihui's opinion, it is the best battlefield, more black shadows climbed up to the city, and the slaughter was repeated on the city wall, occasionally someone opened his mouth before he died, and let his palms cover it without waiting for a scream, the sergeant of the cavalry standard, the weakest person was also an imperial warrior, and the sentry at the head of the city was soon cleaned up.

Li Zihui left two patrols on the city wall to clean up on both sides, the order was very simple, kill along the wall until they converged, the cavalry marked the main force to enter the city from the stairs next to the city gate tower, Li Zihui only left the personal guards, and the others scattered into the streets and alleys of Binhai City according to the team.

Two lanterns nicknamed Death Wind were hung in the cave of the city gate, and the dim light shone on Li Zihui's body, the dark shadows on his clothes and armor were mottled, and the blood stains splashed during the killing flowed down the trouser legs on the ground.

The city gate was locked with two iron latches, and the captain of the guard held an axe to open the mountain, and gestured towards the iron lock, just wanted to lead people to cut it, open the city gate and let the rear team enter the city, Li Zihui scolded in a low voice: "Don't move, sit down honestly and wait." After scolding, he picked up a spear and picked up a lantern, blew it out and hung it up again, and he leaned against the wall as a sentry.

In the outer city, the bow mark did not go well, Li Changgong led the people to the city smoothly, and after silently killing the patrols and sentries on the city wall, he climbed the inner wall and looked down, and his heart sank. The patrol in front of the warehouse kept coming and going, the spears flashed in the moonlight, and the patrol looked like there were twenty or thirty people, and Li Changgong guessed that it should be a complete squad, and it was impossible for him and his subordinates to solve it quietly.

"The guard on the wall is commonplace, what the hell, how can the warehouse be like a great enemy?" The situation was unexpected, Li Changgong couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, the city wall was crawling with sergeants, and several sentinels pretended to be patrols, carrying spears and wandering around the wall.

"Bid length. The inspector rushed over and hurriedly explained before Li Changgong reprimanded: "In the fire prevention, the warehouse is heavy and cannot see sparks." Li Changgong scolded: "Lao Tzu will go and set fire, is there any way to get in?"

"Light a fire elsewhere and draw people away. ”

"Look again, why are some warehouses lax and some surprisingly strict?"

"A well-defended warehouse should be more afraid of fire than the materials stored. ”

Li Changgong gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Put a signal outside, let everyone climb up, Lao Tzu make a big scene, bring all the people from the outer city over, and let the opposite women's team take the opportunity to set fire." ”

The archer mark is divided into two, Li Changgong led the three patrol male soldiers to enter the city from the west wall, according to the prior arrangement, the patrol team should be cleared first, and then guard the south gate to prevent the water army from fighting the fire, the task of arson belongs to the women's team who ascended the city from the east wall, led by Mei Ruoxue, and Gao Yuan sent most of the personal guards to her.

The west wall has not moved for a long time, Mei Ruoxue scolded Li Changgong in her heart, I don't know how many times, the warehouse is strictly guarded, she doesn't dare to take risks, a battalion of defenders in the outer city is alarmed before the fire is lit, and the task of burning down the warehouse is likely to fail.

"Captain, the fire in the outer city has not yet started, we can't wait any longer, in case the wind stops-"

After the departure of the standard teams, Gao Yuan led people to take advantage of the night to grab the ship, two Wu Zong shot, the ship's guards did not resist and let it be restrained, and robbed dozens before the appointed hour, and the sailors then took over the ship, splashed oil on the deck of the cabin, climbed on the bow of the ship and waited for orders.

"The archer mark is probably in trouble, black mark chief, try to come back alive. ”

"Captain, a barrage has blocked the Imperial Sailors for three thousand years, tonight, I vow to burn the river bay warships clean, please don't stop the mark, the Imperial Sailors have been waiting for this day for three thousand years. ”

The black label chief saluted in the moonlight, and the smile on his face made Gao Yuan cry, the sailor was almost lifeless, he knew, the black mark commander knew, when the oil was poured on the ship, the sailor sergeant could guess that the moment the black mark chief left the young sailors, the person who chose to set fire to the ship did not want to come back alive.

Anchoring, sailing, rudder, the familiar movements are faster tonight, and on the river, dozens of large and small ships rushed to the mouth of Qinghe Bay. No one answered the shouts of the watchtower, and the sailors threw their torches onto the deck, and the light of the fire shone brighter and brighter on the moonlit night. The Imperial River Division, in the eyes of the East China Sea Army, is not as powerful as pirates, and takes the initiative to attack tonight, attacking in a dream of three thousand years, and wants to burn away three thousand years of shame with a raging flame.

The sound of shouting, scolding, gongs, and trumpets mixed together in the moonlit night, and the sentries on the arrow tower at the mouth of the bay hurriedly set up their crossbows and drew their strong bows, and shot intercepting crossbow arrows at the rushing fireships.

The flames burning in Qinghe Bay alarmed the entire coastal city, and the defenders of the inner city poured into the outer city, and the defenders of the outer city ran to the south gate in the hoarse scolding of the officers, and the inner and outer cities fell into chaos one after another.

"Cut!"

Li Zihui spat out a word, and the sharp axe in the hand of the captain of the guard smashed on the iron lock, and in a moment the city gate opened, and the broken military camp assembled outside the city poured in, and it was faintly visible in the moonlight that there were a few unlit torches stuck in each person's body.

The cavalry squads scattered throughout the city saw the light of the fire in Qinghe Bay, the flints collided, the sparks ignited the fire rope, and the torches were lit, and more than a dozen fires broke out in the coastal city, guiding the brothers who poured in from the city gates.

"Burn!"

The four standard teams marched in unison from the four streets, the people in front of them ran out of torches, drew their swords and guns and fought with the hastily assembled defenders, the resistance seemed to be minimal, the four fire dragons swept forward, leaving behind countless burning government houses, and the cries in the firelight could not be heard by men, women, old and weak. Tonight, there are only two kinds of people in Marina City, the arsonist and the firefighter, and when the arsonist kills mercilessly with knives and guns in his hands, the firefighter becomes a fugitive, allowing the house to burn behind him.

"Kill!"

Li longbow rushed down the city wall, the three patrols rushed to the warehouse in separate ways, several rounds of long arrows and short crossbows were fired indiscriminately, the nearby patrol team shot mercilessly, rushed into the warehouse and set fire everywhere, the defenders who woke up from their sleep rushed to the river bay in the sound of the officer's order, but unexpectedly there was a fire behind them, there were no weapons in their hands, only pots and pans, how could they stop the arson team like wolves and tigers.

"Set fire!"

Mei Ruoxue cut the iron lock of the warehouse door with a sword, led the guards to kill forward, and the two female soldiers rushed to the almost unguarded warehouse, the fire in the outer city was lit late, but the speed of spreading was the fastest.

"Captain!"

"Turn left—"

There was a sea of fire on the deck, the fire had burned the uniform, the black mark commander's hand was still holding the rudder, controlling the fire ship to shuttle through the battleship, the sailors shouted neatly and rowed the long oars, the flames spread down the ladder, and the escape road was quickly blocked by the fire.

"Withdraw!"

Rushing to the other end, looking back at the eyes full of fire behind him, Li Zihui led the people to rush to the city gate, fighting a bloody way from the fleeing crowd, and disappeared in the distance in the moonlight.

"Run!"

Li Longbow and Mei Ruoxue's team converged, shouted for the female soldiers to retreat first, and after he led the people to break with bows and arrows, Mei Ruoxue scolded: "Go, how can anyone chase!" Seeing that the fire in the outer city could not be extinguished, the defenders ran earlier than the people who set the fire.

At the mouth of Qinghe Bay, Gao Yuan looked at the fire that rose to the sky and did not speak for a long time, the ancient city of thousands of years will be turned into ruins tonight, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, how many people can escape for their lives tonight, at this moment he couldn't help but doubt whether the tactics were right or wrong, and risked running for tens of thousands of miles, could it be for killing and destruction, the dead and wounded were all soldiers and civilians of the Qinghui Empire.

"Outstanding military achievements, heavy crimes, high school captain, the fire of Coastal City, alas-"

When the fireship rushed to Qinghe Bay, Gao Yuan led the raid on the fortress at the mouth of the bay, and took advantage of the weakness in the chaos, more than 100 defenders all became ghosts under his sword and his personal guards, and the two martial artists shook the reels to pull up the barrage, and completely destroyed the iron reels with iron hammers, and the personal guards set fire from the inside, thus cutting off the escape route of the warships in the bay.

The raiding standard team rushed to the predetermined rendezvous point one after another, the officers counted the number of people, dozens of doctors were busy under the moon, none of the people who came back were seriously injured, and the seriously wounded sergeants could not escape from the city.

"Captain, three hundred and forty-six people have not returned. Mei Ruoxue reported the number of people, and seeing that Gao Yuan didn't speak, she reminded in a low voice: "The defenders will chase after they wake up, and it is recommended to leave as soon as possible, no need to wait." ”

"The military order is like a mountain, not only to restrain the soldiers, but also to let the targets withdraw first before the agreed retreat time arrives, and we will stay and wait. ”

"Captain!"

"Execute the command. ”

The standards were withdrawn, and only the pro-guards were left at the mouth of Qinghe Bay, all looking at the fire city in the distance in a daze, and they could hardly believe that such a miraculous achievement had made a self-destruction of the military camp.

Half an hour of waiting, only ushered in two squads of five people, when they saw Gao Yuan, the two captains burst into tears, and desperately rushed back after falling behind, in fact, there was an answer in their hearts, the team would not stay in danger and wait for the return, who would have thought that the captain would personally meet him.

"Let's go, just come back alive, and then we're going to run for our lives. ”
