Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 765 The Rising Flames

   Night came involuntarily.

Yang Sanlang lay silently on the ground paved with straw for a while, and when the surrounding voices had quieted down, he quietly got up, tried his best to control the sound, and took out a small cloth bag from the hole in the wooden board beside him. , took out another dagger, then put the small cloth bag into his arms, held the dagger, and walked out from the grass shed in the dark.

  This afternoon, the southern city gate was closed ahead of time. Hearing that an army of unknown origin came from the south, Yang Sanlang knew that the time he had been waiting for had arrived.

This is a gathering place for the poor in the south of the city. Most of the houses are mainly made of wooden sheds. On the one hand, because the north of the city has always been the most expensive, and the south of the city is humble, so not many people are willing to live in the south of the city; In the area affected by the war from south to north, the brick-and-tile houses, even if they escaped the damage of the arrows, were torn down by the defenders and thrown out as stones...

  For these reasons, there is a large area of ​​grass and wood shacks near the Wengcheng Gate in the south of Huguan City.

  Water and fire are ruthless, so when faced with water and fire, people are always more flustered. There is no better place to create disturbance than here, so the area south of Huguan is Yang Sanlang's target.

Between the grass and wood shacks, under the moonlight, the crooked wooden huts and thatched shacks formed all kinds of strange shadows. Yang Sanlang squatted against the shadows. If he didn't observe carefully, he wouldn't be able to see clearly that there were still people hiding in the shadows. with a person.

   After a while, more than a dozen black shadows appeared from nowhere, and slowly gathered around Yang Sanlang.

  Yang Sanlang counted the number of people, then lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is acting according to the plan! Do you have flint and flannel?"

   Several people hiding in the shadows nodded, and some people pulled out some cloth bags from their arms to show Zhang Sanlang.

   "Okay! Separate now, don't stay after lighting the fire, all go north! Move quickly!" Zhang Sanlang emphasized again, and then waved his hand to let these people disperse.

   Immediately, a dozen or so black shadows were divided into four or five groups, and disappeared into the shadow of the thatched cottage...

  The deep night was like a thick layer of black veil, which naturally covered the traces of Yang Sanlang and others. In a short while, more than a dozen fires were ignited in the area of ​​thatched shacks and wooden houses in the south of the city almost at the same time!

  It hasn’t rained since the beginning of spring, and the dry wooden house and grass are the best fuel. In the time between a dozen or so breaths, the original small flame suddenly expanded and continued to spread outward...

More and more boards and fodder were turned into ashes in the flames, which also provided a lot of heat and smoke. At this time, even the most sound sleepers were awakened, and the entire south of the city suddenly became chaotic, crying. The screams and screams are transmitted far, far away...

There was a "crackling" sound of burning thatched cottages, and the entire fire was completely uncontrollable. From time to time, several thatched cottages were burned down by the flames and collapsed, pressing the people inside into the sea of ​​flames, making a creepy death cry. Howling.

   All of a sudden, the fire shines in the sky!

Fang Yue outside Nancheng had already dressed neatly and was sitting in the big tent. He was also waiting for the signal Yang Zan said, when he suddenly saw a fire in Huguan City. They were all dyed red, and couldn't help being overjoyed, thinking that Yang Zan really had something to do, and immediately ordered the soldiers to leave the camp and go straight to the southern city of Huguan!

  The movement of the army naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers on the southern city of Huguan. A military marquis on duty leaned on the female wall and loudly asked Fang Yue why he was here.

Fang Yue rolled his eyes, raised his head and shouted: "Seeing the fire in the city, special soldiers came to put out the fire! Open the city gate quickly!" Anyway, I still have to find a legitimate reason for myself, if the soldier on duty Hou believed it in a panic, wouldn't it save him a lot of trouble?

  Junhou obviously didn't believe it, and didn't order to open the city gate, but said calmly and waited for him to go to report, then retreated behind the parapet.

Fang Yue also didn't intend to swindle the city gate with a single word, so he raised his saber and shouted: "Water and fire are ruthless, how can we delay, come and attack the city!" At the gate of the city, where would you wait for some military marquis to report, so you didn't care whether your preface and afterwords contradicted each other, and directly issued the order to attack the city.

Siege has never been an easy task. If there is no equipment, it is simply impossible to attack the city. Fang Yue naturally has some preparations. Although the time is relatively short, there is no way to make a large-scale climbing vehicle tower. But it is still possible to make some cloud building cars, rushing cars and simple ladders.

The terrain of Huguan is very dangerous. For Fang Yue, there are indeed many restrictions. There is only a small attack surface. The rest of the place is a mountain, and it is impossible to use force. If it is normal, Fang Yue will not attack violently at all. Yes, because as long as the defenders are not idiots, as long as there are thousands of people defending the city wall, even if he puts all the thousands of people under his command into it, he probably won't be able to break through the gate of Huguan.

   But today is different.

Fang Yue is also a member of the army, and he is also very clear about the daily duty of the city gate, so normally, there is a military marquis on duty at the city gate, and then the night is divided into two time periods, which are led by two chiefs respectively. The soldiers are rotated, that is to say, if there are no accidents, there are only about three or four hundred people defending the south gate of Huguan...

  The other soldiers wanted to rush over, limited by the special geographical location of Huguan, so it was impossible to come from the mountains on both sides, and there was no city wall to walk through, and the only south passage was blocked by the fire!

   Therefore, as long as the three or four hundred soldiers guarding the south gate are exhausted, the gate will naturally be taken down. Now Fang Yue's goal is one, which is to exchange his life for his life, using the lives of two, or three, or even four soldiers of his own to exhaust the guards on the Huguan city wall!

  Fang Yue waved his saber and roared loudly, urging his soldiers to climb up the ladder crazily. Now that the flames in the south of the city were burning, he didn't even need torches on his side, which saved a lot of trouble.

  The guards on Huguan yelled loudly, obviously caught off guard by Fang Yue's surprise attack, and until now, no arrows have been shot.

  The Huguan defenders' counterattack was weak, which further boosted the morale of Fang Yue's side. Fang Yue's soldiers swarmed under the southern city of Huguan like a nest of ants. Simple ladders were erected one after another, and the rushing cars made creaking and twisting sounds, and they kept rushing towards the gate of Huguan. near…

   There is a rumor on the Internet that a sudden kick in the leg while sleeping is because the brain thinks the body is dying, so it sends a pulse to wake the body up…

   The real reason is: the brain thinks that if you live like this, you will die, it’s fine... Kick your legs to celebrate...
