At dusk, Zhai Rang arrived as expected. What greeted him and an army of 100,000 men was an empty city guarding the city.

Although Zhai Rang didn't have much wisdom, he was more cautious. He ordered the army to check it carefully several times before moving in with confidence.

After all the hard work, the tired bodies of the sergeants who had come for a long time could no longer support themselves. With no choice, Zhai Rang had to punish more than a thousand sergeants to warn the princes in the direction they were coming, while the rest waited to live in private houses and returned to the county government office.

, sleeping with his armor closed.

It was a quiet night in Guancheng today, so quiet that I could hear the loud and soft snoring of the army.

The sergeants were too tired. Marching in a hurry was hard work. In addition, they had received definite news that the Sui army had arrived in Kangcheng. They were more relaxed mentally, so they fell into a deep sleep one by one, which was very sweet. Even the responsible soldier

More than a thousand sergeants on alert also hid in some corners to avoid the wind and snow in the cold snowy night.

When the fourth watch comes, the world seems to fall into silence, and everything seems to be sleeping.

However, in the forest less than a kilometer away from Guancheng, many soldiers suddenly emerged. They carried clay pots and tried their best to conceal their bodies.

Yang Tong, who was wearing a white shirt, squatted in front of the army, glanced at the brightly lit Guancheng, and said to Luo Shixin beside him: "Shixin, please bring a few smart people to see the other side's alert situation."

"Here!" Luo Shixin nodded, waved his hand gently, and whispered: "Follow me."

Several soldiers in white clothes immediately followed Luo Shixin and approached Guancheng. When they reached a position less than 100 meters away, they immediately crawled on the ground and crawled forward. When they reached the bottom of the city, they stood up and looked up. Seeing that there was no one on the city, they again

After quickly circling the city, we didn't hear the sound of conversation at the top of the city until we reached the south of the city.

"Lao Cheng, the boss is going to attack Kangcheng tomorrow, and he won't rest in this ice and snow. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"If your brother and nephew were killed, wouldn't you be eager to take revenge? Moreover, Wang Ruxin and Zhang Shanxiang are also dead, and General Shan also lost half his life. These people are all close confidants of the great master!" Another person said

A soldier said lazily, obviously a veteran.

Luo Shixin heard something in the words and quickly leaned against the city wall to listen.

"Why doesn't this sound right?"

"There was something wrong in the first place!" Lao Cheng continued: "We used to plunder villages and rob merchants, and how happy we were. But when the second boss came, everything changed!"

Luo Shixin's eyes turned cold! A murderous intent filled with hatred burst out.

"Who says it's not true? After he arrived, he was not allowed to commit crimes; second, he was not allowed to plunder people's property; and third, he was not allowed to rape women. Anyone who disobeys these three rules will be executed. It is said that his "Pushan Gongying" has already killed

There are so many people! It’s scary to think about it.”

Lao Cheng said in a depressed tone: "It is not allowed to be inaccurate. I discovered that I am not a robber, but a Confucius. It won't be long before there will be an immortal Master Cheng."

Luo Shixin almost laughed when he heard this.

"I heard that many powerful people have gone to the Pushan Gongying, and even Chief Xu has asked the Second Family for advice from time to time."

"That's why the first master is anxious! This time he not only wants revenge, but also wants to fight a big victory to offset the prestige of the second master. Only by catching Yang Tong, the king of Xiaoyue, can he secure the top spot."

"Assassin the king and kills the driver?"

"It's difficult, it's difficult!" Old Cheng Zhizhu said confidently: "Don't talk about assassinating the king and killing the driver. I think it will be very unsafe tonight. There is no one in the city, there must be a conspiracy! Brother, don't sleep tonight, if

If you sleep, you probably won't survive tomorrow. It's not that I don't remind you, you must be careful."

"Thank you, Brother Cheng, for reminding me!" The man immediately said with covetous gratitude.

The soldier hiding behind Luo Shixin whispered: "General, are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's go!" After the two left, Luo Shixin, who was filled with shock, quietly retreated with his soldiers.

After returning to Yang Tong, Luo Shixin recounted everything he heard.

"I didn't expect that in addition to leaders such as Li Mi and Xu Shiji, the Wagang Army would also have people with such insight! Fortunately, they are not the decision-makers." Yang Tong was very happy!

"There will be changes later! Send the order immediately. A moment later, the city will be burned with fire. At the same time, let Pei Xingyan and Niu Jinda get ready!"

"Here!"

As the order was issued, each Sui army officer wiped his face with snow to maintain a high spirit.

When time passed slowly like a trickle, Yang Tong glanced at the night, mounted his horse, and shouted: "Sui warriors, kill!!!"

"Kill!!" The lurking army immediately charged towards Guancheng under the leadership of Yang Tong, Qin Qiong, and Luo Shixin.

On the top of the city, the already drowsy soldiers heard the huge scream and immediately looked up. Looking at the ant-like army below the city, their faces turned pale. They immediately rang the big bell and shouted: "

Enemy attack, enemy attack"

However, just after he finished shouting, arrows flew across the sky, and an arrow hit him. After a wailing sound, the whole man fell from the top of the city.

At this time, the Xiaoguo army used the charge of their horses to throw earthen jars filled with kerosene into Guancheng, and then fired rockets into the city.

It is winter now, the sky is dry and things are dry, and most of the flammable things in the city are flammable. When the kerosene is introduced, the fire burns quickly. The raging flames are swept by the wind across the city. Red flames fly from each residence, burning the house and then igniting again.

The firewood used by the people for the winter was destroyed, and in an instant the whole city formed a sea of ​​fire, and the entire Guancheng was engulfed by the fire.

In the city!

One hundred thousand rebels cried for their fathers and mothers. In the raging fire, they trampled each other, screamed and rushed to the city gate.

Zhai Rang woke up from his sleep. As soon as he left the county office, he saw that the fire was out of control. He had led the army for many years and naturally knew that there was no possibility of saving Guancheng at this time. If he did not escape, he would be buried here.

He made a prompt decision and led the cavalry under his command to fight all the way to the north gate. At this time, the city gate was crowded with people. They were like a plug, blocking the city gate. They were so crowded that they could not get out or retreat. It was equivalent to a blockade.

This is the only way out.

Originally, as long as they followed the order, they could still escape as much as possible, but in a life-and-death situation, how could the frightened rebels with no military discipline have such noble moral character? How could they care so much when their lives are threatened, one by one?

They all focused on saving their lives, and everyone was unwilling to lag behind and rushed to be the first.

Seeing that there were not many people and the fire here was not too big, Zhai Rang and his personal guards rushed over and killed them! After killing hundreds of soldiers in one go, he arranged for the soldiers to leave the city in order! And arranged for the supervising team generals to do so.

The soldiers who disrupted the order were hacked to death on the spot, and then the chaos was brought under control.

Groups of soldiers fled in an orderly manner.

If you look down from the sky, you will see that the entire Guancheng is like a block of tofu wrapped in square flames. Only the four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest can be used as exits. However, the Sui army was well prepared and caught the rabbits.

The Wagang troops abandoned their weapons and arrested them one by one. At the same time, they used crossbowmen to guard the four gates to prevent the Wagang troops from escaping.

The combat effectiveness and fighting will of the Wagang Army were far inferior to those of the regular army. Coupled with this sudden situation, the flames soaring into the sky, and the fighting all over the sky, deep fear immediately appeared in their hearts. Some people wanted to rush out, but the Sui Army was as fierce as a tiger.

They were defeated step by step.

Arrows were flying across the sky, soldiers were crying and wailing, and the ground was stained with blood.
