The patrolling team on the Mozhen city wall stopped and looked around alertly, but found nothing.

In the past two days, there were rumors in the town that there were innocent souls claiming their lives. Although they were skeptical, they were also very nervous.

"Where is the ghost?" The captain looked at the soldier who spoke first.

The soldier said with a white face: "Just now I seemed to see a white shadow floating past."

"Fuck you!" The captain kicked the soldier, "Where in the world does this ghost come from? Don't let your mother's surprises scare you!"

The soldier was kicked and felt a little aggrieved.

Someone tried to smooth things over and said, "Let's continue patrolling and don't make any mistakes."

"Let's go!" The captain waved his hand and led the team to continue patrolling.

When the patrol team passed by, Dongming Ziyu asked people to circle the naphtha halfway around the city wall.

The naphtha outside the city wall is purely used to scare people, and is of little use.

The naphtha around the military camp in the town was used for fire attacks, and the slightly fragrant liquid was poured into the snow.

Because the soldiers in Beiling had no food or salt, they were so hungry that they were dizzy and lay in their houses and tents, unaware of the danger outside.

When a circle of fire instantly burned around the camp, most of the sleeping soldiers didn't know it yet.

In a barracks with thousands of people, there would always be someone who got up in the middle of the night to put out water. When he saw the flames soaring into the sky, he was so scared that he peed in his pants and shouted quickly: "It's on fire! Put out the fire! It's on fire! Put out the fire!"

The soldiers put on their cotton-padded clothes and hurried out of the camp. They saw huge fires burning around the camp, but they knew clearly that there was nothing to burn in those places.

The faces of those soldiers were as white as paper, and they didn't know how the fire was ignited.

The general guarding the town was indeed experienced in many battles. He shouted angrily, "Put out the fire!"

But at night, it’s freezing cold at minus 40 degrees Celsius, and dripping water turns into ice. What can we do to put out the fire?

Everyone took sticks, brooms and other things and ran towards the fire, but when they got closer to the fire, their faces were a bit paler than before.

These fires are burning with snow!

How can snow possibly burn?

But the facts are right in front of us. The snow turns into water. The water should be able to put out the fire, but the fire is getting bigger and bigger.

"There's a ghost!"

"It's been damned by God!"

Someone screamed in fear.

The general was about to scold him when he heard a faint singing sound, which seemed to be coming from the distant sky.

The tune was a folk tune from Beiling, "My husband joined the army, my sister was in tears. My mother looked forward to it every day, and her head turned gray overnight. When I left, my youngest son was in swaddling clothes, and now he is walking all over the ground..."

The minor tune was repeated over and over again, and the song was sung with tears and complaints.

The countless soldiers illuminated by the fire slowly began to cry.

"Mother! My son is unfilial!" A soldier knelt down in the direction of his hometown and cried bitterly.

One of them lost control, and many people started crying, "Daughter-in-law, son, I miss you!"

Someone else shouted: "We are indeed the unjust masters, and the fire from heaven will burn us to death!"

Originally, the two countries had reached a peace agreement, but they tore up the agreement and attacked other people's homes, burned, killed, looted, killed countless people, and raped countless women.

It’s fine now, it’s going to be punished by God!

"Nonsense!" The general drew his sword. He knew that someone was inciting the morale of the army, but he didn't know who to vent his anger to.

"Report!" A messenger rushed over. When he saw this situation, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said in panic: "General, sky fire has also been discovered outside the city!"

"Ah! It's bad! Our grain storehouse is on fire!" Everyone was just scared, but no one noticed that the grain storehouse was already in flames.

"This is the only food we have!"

"God is really going to kill us!"

The sensational little song is still singing in a tearful voice, as if the mother is calling her son, the wife is calling her husband, and the youngest son is calling daddy...

Someone shouted: "We want to go home, we can't starve to death or be burned here!"

Someone immediately responded: "Yes! We want to go home!"

Someone had already taken the lead and rushed toward the fire with his head in his arms. The fire was only a short distance away. If he rushed over, he would be fine. He couldn't help shouting: "You can rush over, and you'll be safe if you rush over!"

Seeing this, the other soldiers also swarmed out and rushed out.

"Kill whoever escapes!" the general ordered sternly.

However, I felt a pain in my neck and suddenly fell to the ground.

"The general is dead! The general has been killed by an unjust ghost! Run away!"

The dragons were leaderless, and the frightened Beiling soldiers fled in all directions.

The soldiers guarding the city were originally frightened by the sky fire inside and outside the city, but when they saw the dark soldiers rushing toward the city gate, their legs trembled even more.

Even so, they did not dare to open the city gate and let the soldiers out without the general's order.

Someone shouted: "The general is dead, and all the food and grass have been burned!"

"The whole town is in flames!"

If the general is dead, then someone will take the blame for the loss of Mo Town. If the general is made to bear the blame for the loss of Mo Town, they will not starve to death or be burned to death. Who will still defend here?

The soldier opened the city gate and ran towards Beiling with other soldiers.

At the same time, fires broke out in the grain and grass depots in the military camps in Qingcheng, Lingcheng, and Beiling in Hanzhen. They all had too much to take care of themselves, let alone support Mozhen.

Even if he wanted to provide support, it was too late. Dongming Ziyu had already led nearly a thousand soldiers into the town, killing those Beiling soldiers who still wanted to resist and taking prisoners.

In less than an hour, they captured Mo Town and took control of the four city gates and the government offices of Mo Town.

At dawn, General Dongming of Cangtong Town learned that Dongming Ziyu and a thousand soldiers had captured Mozhen last night without anyone noticing.

There are also three thousand defenders in Cangtong Town. Does this mean that he is incompetent?

So, he cautiously led two thousand soldiers, carrying food and supplies, and came to Mozhen to pay his respects, hoping to find an opportunity to atone for his sins.

Rejoice, Sassoon and others who stayed in the valley rushed to Mozhen overnight with supplies and settled in a small courtyard next to the Yamen.

"Finally I have a house to live in!" Rejoice and Sassoon dressed like a bear happily tidied up the house and lit a charcoal pot in the house to keep warm.

Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Before going to Beiling, this should be our base camp."

Sassoon said: "Then let's clean up more carefully!"

This should be a place where the stewards or masters of the yamen live. Although the courtyard is small, it is clean and exquisite. The earth dragon is lit and the room is very warm.

A personal guard reported at the door: "Princess, General Zhou's wife wants to see you!"

Shangguan Ruoli walked to the door and said, "General Zhou? Zhou Haiyang who retreated to Cangtong Town?"

Dongming Ziyu met Zhou Haiyang at the government house next door, so he guessed that it was his wife who came.

The guard said: "Yes."

"Please come in!" There is nothing here. They must be sending supplies, and Shangguan Ruoli will naturally not turn him away.
