However, the Western Liang generals that Pei Zilie encountered made a more obvious mistake. They allowed these soldiers to gather under the city wall, hoping that after Nanchen's army entered, they would attack from both sides of the city wall at the same time.
It's a pity that for people like Pei Zilie who have been on the battlefield for many years, this is really not even a small skill.
The dense arrows were enough to help Pei Zilie solve this problem. The young general sat quietly on his horse, listening to the sounds in the city gradually subside, and waved his hand again.
As his hand dropped, another round of arrows whizzed away, but this time there was almost no sound from behind the city wall. Confirming that it was completely safe, Pei Zilie sneered and took the lead in riding forward. The Nanchen soldiers of the brigade followed closely.
Follow him, quickly pass him, and rush into the city like a wave.
Behind the city wall, there was only a pile of dead bodies.
At this time, the sound of killing from the south of the city was also heard along with the howling wind. Pei Zilie was startled for a moment and suddenly understood that Li Xingchen had led his army into the city.
According to the plan, Li Xinchen led his army to attack from the south, while Pei Zilie led his army to attack from the east. Xiao Shilian led a group of cavalry to wander in the north of the city and ambush. What needs to be done now is to quickly join Li Xinchen and rush into the Xiliang camp.
"General, look!" said a sharp-eyed commander, pointing to the tents and houses in the north of the city, "it must be there."
Pei Zilie nodded and shouted loudly: "Attack!"
——————————-
The fire burned ragingly, lighting up half of the sky in Ji'nan City.
Obviously the people of Xiliang had expected that the pursuers would come to Ji Nancheng, but they obviously did not expect that the enemy would come so quickly. They had no time to think about whether Jiangling had been captured by Nanchen, and one man led the army to defend it.
The Xiliang generals in the city lit the firewood that had been prepared on both sides of the road in sequence according to the plan.
The fire burning on the road gradually spread to the collapsed houses, and soon all these houses that had been abandoned for unknown ages were involved in the fire. The fire became bigger and bigger, and even the air became distorted. It was already visible through the flames.
The situation of the camps ahead and the still intact houses is unknown.
"These Western Liang barbarians really have some tricks up their sleeves." Li Xingchen frowned. It was impossible to ride a horse. The fire on the road in front of him had already ignited the surrounding grass. Perhaps what Li Xingchen needed to consider was how to avoid being burned by the fire.
.
"Quickly, dismount and create a path!" Li Xingchen shouted loudly, pulled out the short blade from his waist, rushed into the grass next to him, and cut the grass off at its lowest point.
It is naturally impossible to find water to extinguish the fire now. The easiest way is to directly branch off a road. The fire has not completely burned yet. It mainly ignited the grass around the main road, so as long as we can split a road and go around,
That’s it.
Li Ping and others also came to their senses and stepped forward to get busy.
After all, Li Xingchen and the others were outnumbered, so a clearing was soon opened up and they gradually moved north.
Chen Zhishen and Li Pingping also breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to their leader's quick wit, otherwise everyone could only scratch their heads and watch the Xiliang people escape calmly on the other side of the fire.
"Shizhong!" A shout suddenly came from the front. At this time, Li Xingchen also discovered that Pei Zilie and the others were in front. Apparently, they also adopted the same method, and the fire burning on the main road in the city was finally bypassed.
"Without further delay, let's go!" Li Xingchen didn't have time to say anything to Pei Zilie. Everyone was working so hard just to catch those big fish. And the people of Xiliang set fires at no cost, and were not even afraid of getting themselves involved in the fire.
, it must also be to buy more time for the transfer of the Xiliang royal family.
"There are not many Xiliang Imperial Guards in the city, and most of these so-called elites are vulnerable," Pei Zilie said urgently as he rushed forward, "I guess there are not many people left in front."
Li Xingchen laughed: "We can't make Boqing any cheaper."
"Hold the island barbarians!" Shouts came one after another from the camp not far ahead. The soldiers of Xiliang ran towards this side in a panic. Apparently they did not expect that Li Xinchen and the others would fight outside the camp so quickly.
The fire burning in the city didn't seem to have much effect.
This time Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie didn't even communicate. One was on the left and the other on the right, and they rushed forward with their respective troops.
After all, the people of Xiliang have not been stationed in Jinan City for a long time. It would be good if they could build a few houses for the royal family to live in. These camps that were originally set up in the city were not protected by fences around them.
And these Xi Liang soldiers who rushed out of the camp in twos and threes looked more like they were here to die.
"Don't be obsessed with fighting, rush forward!" Li Xingchen shot a Xiliang soldier away with a heavy shot, and then ran forward. Before the Xiliang soldier could recover, he was swallowed up by more Nanchen soldiers behind him.
"Flag!" Suddenly remembering something, Li Xingchen turned around and shouted. Before the soldier holding the flag could recover, he had already snatched the flag from his hand and strode forward with his own support.
Seeing the red flag, they rushed to the front, and the Nanchen soldiers who followed behind them also became red-eyed, roaring and moving forward with all their might.
Seeing Li Xingchen's actions, Pei Zilie, who was on the other side, led his men back from the east. Two groups of southern soldiers and horses completely disrupted the entire camp!
"Bang!" Li Xingchen kicked open a room. Except for the messy silks and satins, there was nothing inside. Li Xingchen cursed secretly. There are only five or six rooms here. This one is like this, and the others are probably not better.
Where to go.
"Quickly, search separately and catch each one one by one!" Li Xingchen turned around and shouted, "Even the soldiers of Xiliang cannot be spared, so grab your tongues!"
Chen Zhishen responded hurriedly and led the people to rush to another room. Li Xingchen took a deep breath. Could it be that he was still a step too late after all?
"Boss, where are we going?" Li Ping looked around curiously. Apparently he couldn't imagine that the Xiliang royal family lived in such an ordinary house.
Li Xingchen didn't answer and walked straight to the next room.
Everyone was red-eyed before, but now Li Ping is a little scared when he thinks about it. If someone had shot a secret arrow just now, or ambushed behind the door, I am afraid that Li Xinchen would have become a corpse by now. So this time, Li Ping did not wait until he walked to the front of the house.
, Li Ping rushed forward first and kicked open the door.
Just like before, it was still a chaotic scene. Fruits and snacks were dumped everywhere, and the gauze tents hanging on the beams were torn off by someone who didn't know who. They fell to the ground, covered with dust.
Li Xingchen glanced with disappointment, turned around and was about to leave, when Li Ping suddenly shouted: "Boss, there is someone!"
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment and hurriedly looked in the direction of Li Ping's finger.
