After resting for two days, Li Sangrou, Dachang and others set out from the camp and headed to Pingjing Pass. He looked at the several places of delivery for Dachang and others, and then picked a few spare hidden shops.

Everything was arranged, and I returned to the camp from Pingjing Pass, and it was only a few days before the agreed siege.

In the tent of the commander, Gu Xi, Wen Cheng, Wen Shunzhi, Huang Yanming, Chu Xing and others surrounded the sand table and confirmed the strategy of this battle for the last time, and their responsibilities.

Li Sangrou stood behind a group of people, holding a cup of tea, sucking her a little bored.

In this battle, her mission was simple and clear: first, she followed Huang Yanming and fired a cold arrow at the north gate, then went to Gu Xi, listened to Gu Xi's command, and killed people with a crossbow. She didn't need to listen to the one they discussed.

The sunset was setting, and the last time was confirmed to be completed. The order of time was clarified. Huang Yanming, Chu Xing and others went back to prepare.

Tonight, around midnight, the ambushers who were ambushing the east gate and the north gate of Ezhou City were about to leave the camp quietly, and ambush over at night, lying motionlessly for the whole day. After tomorrow, after tomorrow, listen to the movements in the city gate, wait to cooperate with the inside and outside of the city, open the city gate, and keep the city gate open before the army rushed up.

"Let's have dinner together." Gu Xi looked at Li Sangrou and smiled.

Li Sangrou nodded.

The meal was a bit boring. After the meal, Ruyi brought people to clean up and brought tea.

Wencheng stood next to the sand table with tea.

"Stop looking, the people have finished their work, and the rest of the work is left to fate." Gu Xi sat on the chair and looked at Wen Cheng.

"The Jiangnan and Jiangbei have been peaceful for more than twenty years. Jiangnan has no wary of Jiangbei and Jiangnan.

The small vegetable market outside the camp is so lively." Li Sang's soft voice was leisurely.

The Northern Qi camp has been stationed here for about two months. When it was first established, it tentatively attacked two or three back cities, and it was just a stop.

Ezhou City is not big. During the past 20 years of peace and stability, the houses and markets spread out from the pier to the south and the Hanshui pier to the west. Before the war began, the outside of the city was even more lively than in the city.

After the war broke out, Ezhou City was like other cities facing Northern Qi, with strong walls and clear fields. People outside the city moved into the city, while those who had no money moved into relatives and friends, and most of them invested in nearby villages.

Most of these people make a living by doing some small business. After a few days of staying in the Northern Qi camp, they were brave enough to come to find business with eggs, vegetables, etc.

There were more and more people coming with things day by day. Wencheng simply circled the place in the middle of a large open space two miles away from the camp, sent people to guard it, and set up a market. It became more and more lively and prosperous every day.

The market opened at a certain time. As soon as Shenzheng arrived in the afternoon, the sound of the bangzi sounded, and the soldiers guarding the market immediately stopped and drove the people who came to do business.

If this rule had not been determined by death, there would be no room for embracement, and I was afraid that the night market would have opened.

"It's really lively." Gu Xi smiled, "It's better not to be wary. Zhong Liang and the others will probably be able to enter Ezhou City smoothly."

"I hope everything goes smoothly." Wen Cheng sat back on the chair.

"If this time doesn't work, is there any other way? When is the best time to attack the city in spring, summer, autumn and winter?" Li Sangrou looked at Gu Xi and asked.

"Although it is frozen here in winter, the ice is extremely thin. Winter is not a good time. There is nothing best in spring, summer and autumn.

If this trip fails, I can't think of any solution for the time being. Maybe cut off the Han River and let the water flood the city?" Gu Xi said gossip.

"Wu Huai Kingdom can't let us intercept the river and flood the city? Ezhou is not an isolated city. It's all under the rule of Nanliang from south to west." Wen Cheng said slowly.

"I think it will be successful this time." Li Sangrou smiled after a moment of silence.

"I'll ask you to be a good word." Gu Xi raised the teacup to Li Sangrou.

………………………………………

In October, even the noon sun is slanted, but it is still warm to hot when shining on the ground.

Chu Xing lay motionlessly under the thin layer of soil, looking at the shadow of the stone beside him.

He chose this place because he was attracted by the stone. The length of the shadow of the stone could be roughly judged.

It has been more than four hours since I hid it in the second half of the night. I have waited for another four or five hours, maybe five, six or seven hours, well, less than a day, it’s almost done.

This time he was ambushing outside the north gate. He asked for it again and again, and issued a military order before asking for it from the commander.

When he attacked Pingjing Pass, he worked hard but failed. The shame outside Jiangdu City was still under his head. This time, even if there was only a slight gap in the city gate, he would definitely fight to the death and push it away. If he didn't succeed, he would be successful!

The best thing is that there is movement in his north gate before the east gate, and he really wants to rush into Ezhou City the first time.

A string of ants crawled over Chu Xing's forehead. Chu Xing raised his eyebrows vigorously. The ants stepped on his head-up pattern and continued to climb forward. Chu Xing cursed secretly, and had to grit his teeth and endured the itch.

It was okay at night. At this moment, the group of insects, water snakes and ants shining in the sun took turns to crawl into his face!

Damn it!

Chu Xing closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and silently chanted the coloring, which means emptiness, and the mind is empty, and if he doesn’t look or think, that is nothing!

………………………………………

In Ezhou City, the sunset is setting in the west.

After staying in the business for a day, the shopkeeper Zhong, who had been watching the vegetable oil market for a day, greeted the people who were busy packing up their things and closing the door, came out of the business and slowly returned to the residence where they were settled.

The Didian is not far from the oil trip, and is full of merchants selling oil.

Manager Zhong Zhong Liang, his friend, and dozens of barrels of oil, rented them in a small yard facing the street.

The shopkeeper of the dial store ordered a sumptuous meal and ordered it to be delivered to the yard. Zhong Liang entered the yard.

Behind Zhong Liang, the guys who went out to stroll came back one after another. The guy in the Didian brought a box and sent seven or eight kinds of meat and vegetable dishes, including braised fish, and a large pot of dumplings.

Zhong Liang, the caravan, the accountant, porter, and he, there were a total of ten people.

Ten people sat around the round table. Zhong Liang took the bowl, served ten bowls of dumplings, handed them to everyone one by one, picked up the bowl, pressed the sound, and looked at everyone and smiled: "Our group, everyone has arrived, and all teams are going smoothly. Eat the bowl of dumplings, and we will do it tonight."

"When I went to see the city gate, I saw Lao Zhang and the others, and they also saw me and didn't say anything." Zhou Shan, who was dressed in the tent, also lowered his voice next to Zhong Liang.

"Eat the meal and start preparing. After a while, you will have a curfew. After the curfew, let's leave." Zhong Liang looked at everyone, paused, and raised the dumpling bowl in his hand. "Although we are not in a long time, it is Zhong's honor to know all brothers. If there is a next life, we will be partners again!"

"Let's be brothers in the next life!" Zhou Shan and Zhong Liang next to them touched the bowls, and the other few reached over in turn and touched them gently.

This time, they were all dead soldiers, and they had no return. Before leaving, they all left suicide notes.

After dinner, I took out a knife from the half-man-high oil barrel, washed it, wrapped the handle again, prepared the fire stick, changed my clothes, and cleaned it up. Not long after, the curfew sounded far away from far away, and then from near to far away.

The door of the didian store is closed, and the streets and alleys are quiet and there is no one.

A group of ten people pushed open the corner gate of the small courtyard. Zhong Liang first went out, alerting his left and right, waved his hand to signal the nine people carrying the oil barrels, and went out the corner gate one by one. Zhou Shan, who had already found out the road, walked in front and led everyone along the dark alley to the east gate.

The only place with four gates in Ezhou City is the East Gate.

Because there is a urn city outside, Liang Bing guarding the city gate at the east gate was very relaxed.

The Qi army outside the city is separated from them by a urn. If they want to attack the city, they have to attack the urn first. The urn is strong. It takes half an hour and an hour to attack outside, and it is still time for them to prepare again.

Zhong Liang held the knife in his hand and rushed into the city gate first.

In the city gate, the soldiers on duty squeezed into two small gatehouses, one left and one right, chatting and laughing to keep warm.

It was already very cold at night in mid-October.

Zhong Liang and Zhou Shan blocked the two small gatehouses one by one, and stabbed them in one by one.

The soldiers' screams were dull in the small gatehouse, and the remaining sound echoed in the heavy city gate, overflowing into the city, but they could not pass through the heavy city gate into the wall city.

Zhong Liang waved his hand and called everyone in. Three or four people worked together to lift two heavy door bolts, push open the top door stone, and push the huge and thick city gate open a crack.

Tonight, Su Qing was on duty at the east gate. He was lying on the wall of the Wengcheng City, frowned and looked at the North Qi military camp in the distance.

Before lunch, he and the general stood here, watching the increasingly lively market outside the Northern Qi military camp.

At that time, the Qi army camp and that market were the same as usual, but at this moment, the camp and the lanterns in front of him made him feel more and more wrong as he looked at it.

This feeling became stronger and stronger. Su Qing frowned and ordered his personal guards, "You go to the general's mansion to see, find the aunt, and ask the general if he has stopped. If he has not stopped yet, please come and see him."

The personal guard left.

Another guard stood beside Su Qing, looked around boredly, his eyes fell on the city gate, and he was stunned for a moment, shouting: "Master Su, look where, why does our city gate look like..."

The personal guards' words fell, and the city gate pushed out a crack.

"There is a traitor! Impress the police!" Su Qing reacted very quickly.

In the city gate, Zhong Liang and others pushed open the city gate vigorously, while putting two buckets of vegetable oil and soybean oil on the door, and kicking the rest to the ground. Everyone followed Zhong Liang and rushed towards the city wall. The two people with the fire sacks blew the fire sacks and threw them into the oil sacks.

The flames rose up, along the flowing oil, and the fire smoke rose up.

Outside the urn city, the Northern Qi ambushed soldiers who had been ambushed for one day in the middle of the night jumped up, jumped into the moat, and swam forward with all their might.

"Don't use water! Use sand! Archers line up! Zhao Cai! Lead the team to the city gate! Liu Meng, line up the gun array and stab them to death!" Su Qing on the urn city clear order.

Outside the city, facing the urn city, he lit up a torch to illuminate the shiny Gu Ya flag and Gu Xi with bright armor under the ya flag.

Torches blew across the river like a guya flag, spreading rapidly around them.

In the Qi army camp, the drum beats were fast.

Where the fire spread, arrows flew like rain and shot towards the city of Ezhou. Teams of Qi soldiers held shields, ladders, and shouted and rushed towards Ezhou City.

Su Qing only saw his scalp tingling. He lived so big that he stood on such a battlefield with thousands of troops and saw such a siege formation for the first time.

In the Wengcheng, the 100-man team led by Zhong Liang was blocked by the dense spear formation before the Wengcheng gate. Behind him was the ignited oil fire. Zhong Liang took a step back and rushed towards the spear formation with the flames all over his body. The rest of the people who were still alive followed Zhong Liang, retreated, walked forward, grabbed the spear, grabbed Liang Bing, and burned together.

On the urn, arrows fell like rain, inside and outside the moat, outside the urn, arrows flew like rain, falling on the top of the city.

Ladders crossed the moat, soldiers rushed through the moat, or fell into the river, and fell on the way to charge.

Gu Xi, who was under the Yamatsu, looked at the flames and smoke in the urn. After a moment, he turned to look at the north gate.

The east gate is a cover, and hope for breaking the city is at the north gate.
