Chapter 42 City Break
"Have you arrived?" Xu Shu muttered in a low voice. Xu Shu looked up at the sky. There was no moon or stars around tonight.
"Let's light the fire." Xu Shu ordered the sergeant to let me start this killing.
"No." The sergeant respectfully agreed to retreat.
Xu Shu quietly looked at the direction of the sergeant's disappearance and was silent. Instead, he calmed down when it came to him, and his face was still calm and calm.
"Boom" is like a volcanic eruption, and the turbulent flame suddenly rises. It is extremely bright in the dark night. With the bright light of the flame, you can see that there are more than a dozen piles of such high chopping around, each of whom is how tall, and the surface is poured with a layer of tung oil.
The flame mixed with black smoke spread far away in the open night, even Linxiang City, which is several miles apart, can be felt. Then the high chopping was lit one by one, and more than a dozen volcanic-sized torches formed a long fire dragon, which could even be seen in a corner of the people in Xiangcheng.
Xu Shu looked at the burning fire dragon in front of him, and the fighting spirit in his heart was also stimulated little by little. He turned around and looked at Linxiang City, which could not be seen in the distance.
In the barracks outside Linxiang City, he found it after Xu Shu's first fire was lit. Ma Zhong ran to Liu Qi with an excited face and said excitedly, "Lord, it's starting." Although he did not participate in the battle, he was still excited.
Liu Qi nodded and glanced at Linxiang City, which was close at hand, and said, "Get ready." After hearing this, Ma Zhong turned around and left.
Not long after, the fire dragon in the distance lit up nearly half of the sky. All the people in Linxiang City were attracted by the scene. Even Zhang Xian stared at the sky. No one noticed that the originally brightly lit barracks of the army outside the city instantly became extremely dark.
"Lord Taishou, do you think there is a fire on the mountain?" There is a general beside Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian looked at the fire dragon that burned half of the sky and laughed: "It's really God's help to me. This is a warning from God, which is a sign that things will go well today."
Zhang Xian's words quickly aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers around him. God congratulated us on our victory. How could we not win? The menulent group lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually went out.
Zhang Yi suddenly pointed to the outside of the city and shouted, "Father, you see that Liu Qi's army is missing."
Zhang Xian turned his head and watched the originally brightly lit camp become dark, and his heart sank. Before he could react, he heard the drums and horns soared to the sky in an instant. Zhang Xian's hands and feet were cold for a moment, and his body shook a lot.
Conspiracy! This is Liu Qi's conspiracy! This was his first reaction and the most instinctive reaction. He even forgot to order the defense. He couldn't figure out why Liu Qi's army, which had just been under his eyes, disappeared in an instant and appeared under Linxiang City again. There is no sound, no light, how did they do it? You should know that Linxiang City is at least nearly three miles away from Liu Qi's army.
"Kill."
The shocking shouts woke up Zhang Xian. Fortunately, Liu Qi couldn't help but be glad that he had made this arrangement today under the account of attacking the city from the north gate. The soldiers around him waited for a long time without Zhang Xian's urging. The torches were lit up one by one, and the crossbows were aimed at the city. The archers were ready to give the most terrible blow to the enemy in the dark at any time. The boulders were also moved near the city wall.
A tragic killing is about to begin.
Huang Zhong led the people and horses to lurk near the South Gate, and the red clouds in the sky reminded him that the time to start was getting closer and closer. Less than 500 people gathered around him. Although these 500 people are few, they are elite. They are made by Huang Zhong.
The red light disappeared, and the killing sound of the north gate of the city shook the sky. Huang Zhong took out the poplar bow and took his subordinates to the gate.
"Hight, who are you?" The general guarding the city asked vigilantly. The soldiers around him were on guard at night.
"It's me." Huang Zhong came out of the darkness.
"It turned out to be General Huang. I don't know why the general left the city so late?" The general guarding the city said with a smile, and his vigilance was also slightly relaxed. The soldiers around him heard that Huang Zhong relaxed their vigilance one by one. Huang Zhong's prestige in Linxiang City was very high, and they did not dare to slack off a little.
"Didn't you hear that the north gate was fighting? Lord Taishou asked me to quietly go out of the south gate and rob Liu Qi's back road. Huang Zhong said impatiently.
"Can the general have the order of Lord Taishou?" The general guarding the city had put down his guard and asked by the way.
"Come in a hurry. What's the command? Open the gate quickly. Can you afford it if you make a mistake?" Huang Zhong was unhappy.
"Yes, yes, yes, general, wait a minute." The general guarding the city quickly said, "Huang Zhong can't afford to offend him." He is neither Huang Zhong nor Zhang Xian's lineage. He left him here to guard the south gate tonight.
"Open the gate." The gate slowly opened, and the poplar bow in Huang Zhong's hand couldn't help tightening.
"General, please." The general guarding the city opened the gate and turned to Huang Zhongdao.
Huang Zhong hummed and wanted to go outside the gate. When he came to the guard general, he immediately urged him to reach forward and grab the general, with a big knife on his neck.
"General Huang, you?" The sound of the big knife that was close at hand trembled a little.
"Shut up." Huang Zhong shouted, and then turned to the soldiers who picked up the weapons around him and said, "Zhang Xian is cruel and ungrateful. Now Mr. Liu Qi has come to fight under the order of Lord Zhou Mu. We have obeyed Mr. Liu Qi. Why don't you put down your weapons?"
The soldiers around him didn't know what to do for a while. Huang Zhong shouted, "The army can arrive. Put down the weapon to avoid death, and resist stubbornly. After saying that, the five hundred sergeants who followed him raised their weapons and shouted in unison, "Kill."
"That Zhang Xian indulged his son to harm the people everywhere, and now he ignores the people in Xiangcheng for the sake of selfish desires. Why do we work for him?" The man Huang Zhong'an who was inserted in the soldiers first put down the weapons, and then the soldiers around him put down the weapons one after another. The general guarding the city sighed when he saw this: "It's over." He secretly prayed that Liu Qi could kill Zhang Xian or he would die.
Huang Zhong was relieved and was about to take them aside and listen to the sound outside the door. When the flying tiger guard in white armor appeared first, Wang Yi glanced around and came to Huang Zhong and pointed to the sergeants around him and said, "General Huang, these people are temporarily handed over to you."
After saying that, he took the Flying Tiger Guard to rush to the city. Eight hundred Jinfan thieves followed him closely, followed by the soldiers and horses led by Lv Jie and Zhoucang. For a moment, there were killing in the city.
North Gate
Zhang Xian listened to the shouts of killing in the city, and had long let the soldiers guarding the city stand ready. As long as he saw Liu Qi's army, he could hit him hard. However, after waiting for a long time, there was suddenly no sound in the city. Zhang Xian immediately ordered the soldiers to put the torch down, and found that the city was empty and only scattered utensils were left.
Zhang Xian immediately knew that he had been fooled and secretly shouted that it was bad, so he listened to the killing at the south gate. A soldier stumbled to Zhang Xian and said, "Your Excellency, Liu Qi's army has entered the city."
Zhang Xian grabbed the man and asked, "How did Liu Qi's army enter the city?" Who let them into the city?
The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know." Before he finished speaking, he was pushed away by Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian listened to the shouting of killing in the city and knew that it was too late. Although the number of Liu Qi's army was small, they were all elites, and it was by no means what they could resist.
"Open the city gate." Zhang Xian immediately wanted to take the 8,000 soldiers and horses around him out of the city. Since your soldiers and horses are all in the south of the city, I will go from the north of the city.
Eight thousand troops gathered at the gate to prepare to leave the city. Zhang Xian suddenly heard someone shouting in the rear, "Where is Zhang Xian going?" Then the flying tiger guard in white armor appeared in her sight. Zhang Xian was shocked and immediately took the soldiers out of the city.
As soon as Zhang Xian came out of the gate, before he crossed the moat, he saw a bang in front of him. The fire rose to the sky, and the utensils that were originally scattered on the ground burned one by one.
There was a fire in front of him, and then he chased the soldiers. Zhang Xian's army was crowded for a while. The front was crowded backwards, and the rear was crowded forward. The soldier was pushed down and trampled, followed by the killing of the Flying Tiger Guard.
Screams, exclamations, and calls for help were mixed together, blood splashed head and flew up, and the limbs were broken, and the arms were bloody and abnormal. Flying Tiger Guards are like killing machines, killing non-stop. Their white armor quickly turns red, and bright blood flows on the white armor.
The Jinfan thief who followed him did not show weakness. He rushed back and forth in the narrow area. Zhang Xian's army could not resist at all. The sound of the bell was like a life-threatening mourning music, harvesting one life after another.
Eight thousand soldiers and horses quickly collapsed and disintegrated and scattered. Some knelt down and begged for mercy, and some rushed directly to the fire in front of them. Zhang Xian looked at the chaotic army in front of him and knew that the general situation had gone. He raised the sword in his hand and splashed three feet of blood the next moment.
The killing lasted only a quarter of an hour, but it left a deep impression. Whether it is the soldiers and horses in Linxiang City or Liu Qi's soldiers and horses, they are far away from the 500 flying tiger guards. Occasionally, soldiers pass by the flying tiger guards and can't help shivering when they see the armored legs that have turned red and speed up their pace to leave.
The city has calmed down. At the end of the war, Han Xuan quickly took the remaining people around to comfort the people and treat the wounded soldiers. Huang Zhong took the surrendered soldiers and horses to clean up the traces of the battle. The blood stains were quickly cleaned, the roads were cleaned out, and the collapsed houses were simply repaired.
Xu Shu walked into Linxiang City with the sergeant. He was very satisfied with the battle. The only thing he didn't expect was the blood of the Flying Tiger Guard. After all, the Flying Tiger Guard has appeared in the United States and Europe for a long time.
