The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 6
At dusk, Zhai Rang really came, and he and the [-] troops were greeted by a group of people who went to the city to empty the city.

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

After a lot of hard work, the exhausted soldiers who had come from a long distance could no longer hold on, so Zhai Rang had to send more than a thousand soldiers to guard the direction of the enemy. sleep.

Guancheng was very quiet at night, so quiet that he could hear the loud and small snoring of the army.

The sergeants were too tired, and the hasty march was hard work. In addition, they had received definite news that the Sui army had arrived in Cannes, and they were more relaxed mentally, so they fell into a deep sleep one by one, which was very sweet.Even the more than a thousand sergeants in charge of security also hid in some corners to avoid the wind and snow in the freezing snowy night.

When the fourth watch comes, the world seems to have fallen into silence, and everything seems to have been dormant.

However, in the forest less than a kilometer away from Guancheng, many soldiers suddenly poured out, carrying clay pots, trying to hide their bodies one by one.

Yang Tong in a white shirt was squatting in the snow in front of the army, if he didn't look closely, he would never have noticed anyone.He glanced at Guancheng where the flames were dimming, and said to Luo Shixin beside him, "Shixin, take some smarter people to see the other party's security situation."

"Here!" Luo Shixin nodded, waved his hand lightly, and said in a low voice, "Follow me in white clothes."

Several soldiers in white clothes immediately followed Luo Shixin and approached Guancheng. When they reached a position less than [-] meters away, they immediately crawled on the ground and advanced. When they reached the bottom of the city, they stood up and looked up. After quickly circling the city, it was not until the south of the city that they heard the voice of dialogue at the top of the city.

"Old Cheng, the boss is going to attack Cannes tomorrow, and he doesn't rest in this icy and snowy place. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"If your elder brother and nephew are killed, why don't you rush to take revenge? Besides, Wang Ruxin and Zhang Shanxiang are also dead, and General Shan also lost half his life. These people are all confidantes and generals of the leader!" Another A soldier said lazily, obviously a veteran.

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

"Why is this not quite right?"

"There's something wrong in the first place!" Old Cheng continued, "We used to loot villages and rob merchants, how happy we were. But when the second master arrives, everything has changed!"

Luo Shixin's eyes turned cold!A murderous intent full of hatred burst out.

"Who says it's not? After he came, first, he was not allowed to commit crimes against his superiors; second, he was not allowed to plunder people's property; third, he was not allowed to rape prostitutes. Anyone who disobeyed these three rules would be executed. It is said that his "Pushan Public Camp" has killed So many people have died! It’s scary to think about it.”

Old Cheng said in a depressed tone: "This is not allowed, that is not allowed. I found out that I am not a robber, but a Confucius. It will not be long before there will be another Cheng Master who will live forever."

Luo Shixin almost laughed when he heard that.

"I heard that a lot of powerful people have gone to the 'Pushan Public Camp', and even Chief Xu also asks the second family for advice from time to time."

"That's why the first leader is in a hurry! He not only wants revenge this time, but also fights a big victory to offset the prestige of the second leader. Only by capturing Xiaoyue King Yang Tong can he secure the top spot."

"Assassin king kills you?"

"Difficult, difficult!" Old Cheng Zhizhu said with his hands in his hands: "Don't talk about assassinating the king, I think it is very unsafe tonight. This city is empty, there must be a conspiracy! Brother, don't sleep tonight, once You're asleep, and you probably won't live until tomorrow. It's not that I didn't remind you, so be careful."

"Thank you, Brother Cheng, for reminding me!" The one immediately said gratefully.

The soldier hiding behind Luo Shixin said softly, "General, are you all right?"

"It's okay, let's go!" After the two walked away, Luo Shixin, who was full of horror, quietly retreated with the soldiers.

After returning to Yang Tong's side, Luo Shixin repeated everything he heard.

"Unexpectedly, apart from leaders such as Li Mi and Xu Shiji, the Wagang Army has such knowledgeable people! Fortunately, they are not decision-makers." Yang Tong was very fortunate!
"Late means change! Immediately pass down the order, a moment later, the city will be burned, and at the same time, let Pei Xingyan and Niu Jinda get ready!"

"Here!"

As the order was issued, the soldiers of the Sui army wiped their faces with snow and kept their spirits high.

When time passed by like a trickle, Yang Tong glanced at the night, stepped on 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 drowsy soldiers immediately looked up when they heard the huge screaming, and looked at the army of ants below the city. Their faces turned pale immediately, and they immediately rang the big bell and shouted: " enemy attack, enemy attack"

However, just after shouting, feathered arrows flew horizontally, and a feathered arrow shot at him. After a wail, the whole person fell from the top of the city.

At this time, the Xiaoguo army took advantage of the charging momentum of their war horses to throw crocks full of kerosene into Guancheng one by one, and then rockets shot into the city one by one.

It is winter now, except for the snow on the roof of the houses, most of the houses in the city are flammable. After being ignited by kerosene, the fire burns rapidly, and the raging flames are swept across the city by the wind. , The firewood used by the people for the winter was ignited again. In an instant, a sea of ​​flames formed in the whole city, and the entire Guancheng was engulfed by the fire.

In the city!

Hundreds of thousands of rebels cried for their fathers and mothers. In the raging fire, they trampled on each other, hissed and 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, so he naturally knew that there was no possibility of saving Guancheng at this time. If he didn't run for his life, he might die here.

He made a decisive decision and led his bodyguard cavalry to fight all the way to the north gate. At this time, the city gate was crowded with people, and they blocked the city gate like a plug. They could not get out or retreat because they were crowded. This is the only way out.

Originally, as long as they follow the order, they can escape to the maximum extent, but in the situation of life and death, who in the rebel army who is frightened and has no military discipline at all has such noble morals? , when life is threatened, no matter how many people, everyone is focusing on saving their lives, and everyone is unwilling to lag behind, rushing to be the first.

Seeing that there were not many people, and the fire here was considered too big, Zhai Rang took his personal guards and followed them to cover up and kill them without hesitation!After killing hundreds of soldiers in one breath.Then arrange the soldiers to leave the city in order!They also arranged for the supervising team to kill the soldiers who disrupted the order on the spot, and only then did the chaos be brought under control.

Teams of soldiers fled out 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 south, east, and northwest can be used as exits, but the Sui army has long been prepared. The Wagang army, who abandoned their weapons, arrested them one by one, and at the same time guarded the four gates with crossbow soldiers to prevent the Wagang army from escaping.

The fighting power and fighting will of the Wagang army are far inferior to the regular army. In addition to this sudden situation, the flames soaring into the sky, and the fighting all over the sky, deep fear immediately appeared in the heart. Some people wanted to rush out, but the Sui army was as fierce as a tiger. Killing retreated steadily.

Feathered arrows were flying horizontally, soldiers were screaming, howling again and again, and the ground was stained with blood.

When the Sui army yelled 'The surrender will not be killed', one by one gave up resistance.
