On the city wall of Boling County, Li Jing could actually only see signs that the Far Eastern Army's central camp had collapsed and exploded, but he could not see the specific situation clearly.
At this moment, there were faint sounds of killing in the direction of the county guard's office in the city.
Li Jing frowned and shouted: "Let's go see a group of people and see what's going on?"
A captain next to Li Jing immediately agreed and ran down the city wall with 500 people and left quickly.
"I'm afraid there are many spies of the Far Eastern Army, or members of the Far Eastern Army's special forces, in the city. It might be very troublesome to deal with these people." Li Jing suddenly felt uneasy.
With this in mind, Li Jing was about to send out another team to search for and suppress the spies in the city, when suddenly a shout came from the east of the city, resounding throughout most of Boling County.
"Oops, the food is on fire, come and put out the fire."
Li Jing's expression changed. He turned around and saw that the east side of the city was already blazing with fire. He looked at the location where the food and grass were. His face suddenly turned ugly. One of the most critical points for holding Boling County City was to have enough food and grass.
, Otherwise, no matter how strong the soldiers defending the city are, and no matter how good the generals are in command, it will be useless. Without the guarantee of food, the morale of the army will immediately dissipate, and the morale will drop to the bottom in an instant, with disastrous consequences!
Li Jing immediately ordered a general next to him: "I have specifically ordered that the areas around several large granaries and several hay fields have been cleared, and the distance between them is far enough, in order to consider that someone will set fire to the grain and grass. Look at this
The fire seems to have only burned one or two places, so you should take people to take charge immediately, and be sure to guard the other grain and hay fields to prevent them from being set on fire by thieves."
Cui Shenggang, the leader of the Cui family, suddenly said: "Don't mobilize too many troops, in case the battle situation outside the city changes. There are not enough soldiers and horses to defend the city. I still have two thousand troops in the Cui family's ancestral home. I will send someone to mobilize one thousand."
People go over and guard the food and grass."
Although Li Jing felt that the battle situation outside the city would not change much, he thought that there were only about 25,000 troops left in the city, about 15,000 on the top of the city, and nearly 3,000 people guarding each of the other four city gates.
.
The number of people is indeed small, and they are thinking about mobilizing the troops at the city gate. At this time, a Cui family soldier ran up in a panic, with an expression as if he was mourning for a concubine, and said to Cui Shenggang, the leader of the Cui family, in panic.
: "Sir! It's not good. An assassin has appeared in the ancestral house. The food has been poisoned. More than a thousand people in the house have been poisoned and passed out. Nearly half of the two thousand guards have been poisoned to death."
"What did you say?" Cui Shenggang's face changed drastically and he looked in disbelief. He walked over in three steps and then pinched the soldier's neck and shouted loudly.
The soldier cried and said: "Master, the thief poisoned the well, and it was a chronic poison. The medicine took half a day to take effect after drinking the water. During this time, everyone in the house had already drank the water. So they were all poisoned.
, but except for nearly half of the guards who were poisoned, the others were just unconscious."
Cui Shenggang shook his body and asked with luck: "Where are my seven sons and a dozen grandsons?"
The soldier quickly said: "The young masters and young masters have not been found. They seem to have been kidnapped by thieves."
"Come here, tell me my order. A thousand men will be sent out from each city gate to guard food and fodder and put out fires. In addition, three thousand men will be removed from each section of the city wall to search the whole city to find these despicable Far Eastern Army spies. I will kill them alive."
Burn him to death." Cui Shenggang directly issued the order without consulting Li Jing. After issuing the order, he hurried down the city with a group of soldiers to save his children and grandchildren.
Li Jing wanted to stop him, but in the end he hesitated and said nothing. His military power came from the Cui family and various clans. The Cui family almost suffered annihilation. Cui Shenggang fell into a state of rage. If he still stopped him, not only would he
It did not help the situation, but caused chaos among the defenders, thus causing harm.
This order needs to be issued to all city wall sections and city gates. A lot of people are sent out. The guards around Cui Shenggang and Li Jing are reduced by half, but Li Jing can no longer take care of so many. The troops on the city wall have been mobilized, and he has to start again.
To adjust the defense.

Outside the city, the battle inside the Far Eastern Army's central camp was coming to an end. Nearly 10,000 cavalrymen led by Xiong Kuohai rushed out of the Far Eastern Army's central camp and rushed towards the city gate.
Li Jing saw this scene in his eyes and felt a little regretful in his heart. In his opinion, the attack on the camp outside the city seemed to kill a lot of enemies, but in the end it did not collapse the Far Eastern Army.
By the firelight, he recognized the flag with three-color horizontal lines next to Xiong Kuo Hai. It was the flag between him and his friends outside the city.
Military commander Dugu Changsu agreed that the flag would be used to identify authenticity, and in order to avoid losing it, he had just taken it out at Xionkuohai below the city.
After Li Jing confirmed that they were friendly troops, he waved his hand and ordered the city gate to be opened and let people in. The stone and giant trees blocking the city gate were quickly moved away, and the suspension bridge was lowered at the top of the city.
Nearly ten thousand elite cavalry rushed in. The men were like dragons and the horses were like tigers. But the moment they rushed in, they waved their scimitars at the defenders in the city, and the killing began.
Seeing this, Li Jing's face on the top of the city suddenly changed, with a look of disbelief and disbelief. He was about to say something or give an order, when suddenly his heart froze and he suddenly dodged to the left. The soldier closest to him suddenly
The short sword in his hand stabbed the air, but three soldiers five steps behind Li Jing simultaneously slashed at him with their swords.
Li Jing roared loudly, drew his sword and struck out three times like lightning, and actually blocked these three swords. However, huge force came from the swords one after another, making him unable to control his body, and he fell from the top of the city.
The fifty soldiers around Li Jing were stunned for a moment, their eyes turned red immediately, and they became extremely crazy. They were extremely loyal to Li Jing, and they were desperate to kill the four assassins. But before they could take action, the other nine soldiers
They have already taken action first. These nine soldiers, including the four soldiers who just took action, are all dressed up by the nine most powerful killers from the Far Eastern Army's Military Intelligence Office.
When Wang Junlin established the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Far Eastern Army, in addition to a large amount of funds, he also selected a group of spies from the Blue Guard Mansion and the Wulin Guild, with masters as the core personnel. At this time, these thirteen killers were selected from the Wulin Guild.
A first-class master, after being trained by the killers of Shedao, he has become a top killer.
Although Li Jing's fifty soldiers were extremely brave on the battlefield and had already fought tooth and nail at this time, they were still no match against the thirteen masters of the Far Eastern Army's Military Intelligence Bureau. After four or five breaths, all fifty guards were killed.
But the fighting here has alarmed the defenders in other places on the city wall, and they are rushing here in large numbers. Although the thirteen people are powerful, they are surrounded by the army and cannot escape death. However, they are obviously prepared, and they each start from
He took out a large black folding umbrella from his arms, opened it, raised it above his head, and jumped directly out of the city.
After jumping down, they were still looking for Li Jing's body, but could not find it.
