Chapter 765: Flames rising into the sky

 Night came inexplicably.

Yang Sanlang lay silently on the straw-paved ground for a while. When the sounds around him quieted down, he quietly got up. He tried his best to control his voice 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, holding the dagger, and walked out from the hut in the dark.

This afternoon the southern city gate was closed early. I heard that an army of unknown origin was coming from the south. Yang Sanlang knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

This is a poor gathering place in the south of the city. Most of the houses are mainly made of wooden sheds. On the one hand, it is because the north of the city has always been more expensive and the south of the city is more humble, so not many people are willing to live in the south of the city. Another reason is that the south of the city is full of people.

In the area affected by the war from south to north, even if the brick-and-tile houses escaped damage from arrows and other damage, they were demolished by the defenders and thrown away as stones...

These reasons also created a large area of ​​grass and wood shacks in the south of Huguan City near the Wengcheng Gate.

Water and fire are merciless, so when faced with water and fire, people are always more panicked. To create a disturbance, there is no better place than here, so the area south of Huguan is Yang Sanlang's goal.

Among the grass and wood huts, under the moonlight, the crooked wooden houses and thatched huts formed various strange shadows. Yang Sanlang squatted against the shadows. If he hadn't looked carefully, he wouldn't have been able to see clearly what was hidden in the black shadows.

Holding a person.

After a while, a dozen more black figures emerged from nowhere and slowly gathered around Yang Sanlang.

Yang Sanlang counted the number of people, then lowered his voice and whispered: "Everyone is acting according to the plan! Do you have flint and tinder?"

A few people hiding in the shadows nodded, and some people pulled out some of the cloth bags in their arms and showed them to Zhang Sanlang.

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

Immediately, more than a dozen black figures were divided into four or five groups, and disappeared into the shadow of the thatched wooden house...

The deep darkness of night, like a thick layer of black veil, naturally covered up the traces of Yang Sanlang and others. In a short time, more than a dozen fires were lit in the thatched wooden house area in the south of the city almost at the same time!

Since the early spring, there has been no rain. The dry wooden houses and grass are the best fuel. Within a dozen breaths, the original small flames suddenly expanded and continued to spread outward...

More and more wooden boards and fodder were turned into ashes in the flames, which also provided a lot of heat and thick smoke. At this time, even people who were sleeping soundly were awakened, and suddenly the entire south of the city was in chaos, crying.

The shouts and screams were carried far, far away...

The wooden huts were burning with a "crackling" sound, and the fire was completely out of control. From time to time, several huts were burned down by the flames and collapsed, trapping the people inside in the sea of ​​​​fire, emitting chilling cries of death.

Howling.

Suddenly, the sky was filled with fire!

Fang Yue, who was outside the south city, had already been dressed neatly and was sitting in the big tent. He was also waiting for the signal Yang Zan said. Suddenly he saw a fire in Huguan City. The fire shot into the sky and seemed to cover half of the sky.

They were all dyed red, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Thinking that Yang Zan really had something to do, he immediately ordered his soldiers to leave the camp and rush straight to the south city of Huguan!

The movement of the army naturally attracted the attention of the soldiers in the south city of Huguan. A military marquis on duty leaned on the female wall and loudly asked Fang Yue's purpose.

Fang Yue rolled his eyes, raised his head and shouted: "Seeing the fire in the city, we specially led the soldiers to put out the fire! Open the city gate quickly!" Anyway, he still had to find a more legitimate reason. If the soldiers on duty were

Hou believed it in a panic. Wouldn't it save him a lot of trouble?

The military lord obviously didn't believe it, so he didn't order the city gate to be opened. He just said calmly that he would go and report the matter before he retreated behind the parapet.

Fang Yue had no intention of opening the city gate with just a word. When he saw this, he raised his sword and shouted: "Fire and water are ruthless, how can we delay, come and attack the city!" At this time, taking advantage of the chaos in the south of the city, he took down the city.

At the city gate, there was no need to wait for any military prince to report, so he directly issued the order to attack the city regardless of whether his previous words and the last words were inconsistent with each other.

Attacking a city has never been an easy task. Without equipment, it would be difficult to attack a city. Fang Yue naturally made some preparations. Although he was short of time, he could not make a large city climbing vehicle tower.

But it is still possible to make some aerial vehicles, rush vehicles and simple aerial ladders.

The terrain of Huguan is very dangerous. For Fang Yue, it is indeed very restrictive. There is only a small attack surface. The other places are mountains and it is impossible to exert force. In normal times, Fang Yue would not attack at all.

Yes, because as long as the defenders are not idiots and as long as there are a thousand people defending on the city wall, even if they put all the thousands of people under their command, they will probably not be able to break through the Huguan City Gate.

But today is different.

Fang Yue is also a soldier, and he is also very aware of the matters of daily city gate guarding. Therefore, normally, there is always a military lord on duty at the city gate, and then the night is divided into two time periods, each led by two commanders.

The soldiers are rotated, which means that if nothing unexpected happens, there are only about three to four hundred people defending the south gate of Huguan...

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

Therefore, as long as the three to four hundred soldiers guarding the south city gate are used up, the city gate can be captured. Now Fang Yue has one goal, which is to exchange lives for lives, using two or three of himself.

Even the lives of four soldiers were used to drain the defenders on the Huguan city wall!

Fang Yue waved his sword and roared loudly, urging the soldiers to climb up the ladder crazily. Now that the fire in the south of the city was soaring into the sky, his side didn't even need torches, which saved a lot of trouble.

The guards at Huguan were shouting and screaming, obviously being caught off guard by Fang Yue's surprise attack. Until now, no arrows had been fired.

The weak counterattack by the defenders of Huguan further boosted the morale of Fang Yue's side. Like a nest of ants, Fang Yue's soldiers swarmed under the southern city of Huguan. Simple ladders were erected one after another, and the vehicles squeaked as they rushed.

The squeaking sound is also approaching Huguan City Gate...

There is a rumor on the Internet that kicking your legs suddenly while sleeping is because the brain thinks that the body is dying, so it sends a pulse to wake up the body...…………………………………………

...The real reason is: the brain thinks that if you live like this, you should die. It's good... kick your legs to celebrate...
