Chapter 418 Fire in the middle of the night

The sun is gradually setting in the west, and the sunlight is no longer as bright as at noon, but more gentle.

It was at this time that a stream of white and gray smoke slowly floated into the sky from the Fangcheng Pass of Chu State.

"Feeding is coming!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, the soldiers of Chu, who had been waiting for a long time, lined up neatly in the open space between the tents.

"Next one, okay."

"Next one, okay."

"Next one, okay."



The wooden spoons in the hands of the soldiers and civilians were flying up and down amidst the sounds, and they poured the food of the Chu soldiers into their respective pottery bowls.

Although the meal was not sumptuous, just a bowl of rough wheat rice, the Chu soldiers were already very satisfied.

The soldiers of Chu who had caught the wheat rice quickly separated from the team while feeling the aroma of rice coming from their noses.

After finding a seat nearby in the open space and sitting down, the Chu soldiers could not wait to enjoy their meals.

While the soldiers of the Chu army who had received their meals were enjoying their meals, a soldier who looked like any other man wandered up to the soldiers who were accompanying him to get food.

"Next……"

He scooped up a large spoonful of rice with a wooden spoon and filled the pottery bowl in the opponent's hand. At the same time, he glanced at the opponent seemingly unintentionally.

On the opposite side, feeling the heavy weight in his hand, the soldier's eyes, which were originally calm and somewhat leisurely, seemed to be a little brighter.

"Okay, next one!"

While calling for the next one, their eyes met again inadvertently, and everything was unspoken.



After all, the sun couldn't hold on and soon set from the west.

The sun sets in the west, the sunset glows, and the huge night gradually covers the entire square city pass.

Fangchengguan, which had been noisy all day, gradually became quiet as night fell, and the Chu soldiers who had worked hard for a day fell asleep one after another.

In the tent, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, and a dangerous light appeared on the carefully crafted face of the Chu army, not the Wei army.

Listening to the constant snoring in his ears, he pushed the soldier beside him. After confirming again and again that there was no danger, the Wei soldier cautiously jumped out of the camp.

With the help of the glimmer of the moon in the sky, along the road he had already explored, and dodging several groups of patrolling soldiers, this Wei army craftsman finally found the place where grain, grass and luggage were stored in the camp.

Looking at the large carts placed in front of them, and seeing the grain and grass baggage loaded on them that had not yet had time to be unloaded, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face.

"God help me, Wei!"

After exhaling slightly and calming down the agitation in his heart, the Wei Jun expert looked around cautiously again.

After confirming that there was no danger, Wei Jun carefully came to the side of a large cart and took out a pair of fire sickles from his arms.

In the dark night, after a crisp crashing sound, sparks flew to the carriage next to it.

First there were sparks, which gradually turned into flames. As time went by, the raging fire had already burned the entire cart of food, grass and baggage.

Suddenly a gust of evening wind came, and the fire spread with the wind. One cart after another was swallowed up by the fierce sea of ​​​​fire.

"It's on fire, it's on fire..."

When the soldiers of the Chu army discovered the burning grain and baggage, the Wei army commander in charge of fire prevention had long since disappeared, leaving only the sky full of fire and many panicked soldiers of the Chu army.

In another Chu army camp inside Fangcheng Pass, listening to the sounds of running and shouting coming from everywhere, near or far, a Wei soldier holding a halberd and wearing armor immediately became excited.

Turning his head to look at the leader in the camp, he didn't say a word, and there was only a trace of excitement in his eyes.

The detailed commander, who had already received the order, recalled yesterday's news from outside the customs, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

Tonight, start the fire and win the game!

The raging fire has been ignited, and it's time for them to pick up the swords in their hands and seize this square city pass.

The long sword at his waist fell into the hands of the captain after a sword sound, and he quickly walked out of the tent, leaving only a brief order to his subordinates behind him.

"Go, follow me and seize the city."



Since the front line of the battle between the Wei and Chu armies was still in Tangxi City, a hundred miles away, and the focus of Fangcheng's defense over the years had been on South Korea in the north, this resulted in the defense of Fangchengguan not being affected by the Chu army.

Pay enough attention.

Since the beginning of the war between Wei and Chu, Fangchengguan has naturally been on heightened alert, but it has not yet been as tightly guarded as if troops were approaching the city.

After all, most people in the pass had never thought that the Wei army could continuously cross Tangxi, join the two cities where the Chu army was stationed, and land at Fangcheng Pass, a hundred miles away.

At this moment, at the gate of Guancheng, a Chu soldier stood holding a halberd, and patrols of the Chu army passed by from time to time.

"who!"

Suddenly, a vigilant voice sounded on the wall, which immediately aroused the vigilance in the hearts of many Chu soldiers.

"Tap tap tap..."

Facing the looks of many soldiers, and accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a group of nearly a hundred Chu soldiers slowly walked over.

With the help of the firelight on the city top and the faint moonlight in the sky, after clearly seeing the style of armor worn by the visitor, the Chu soldiers on the wall subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who is coming?"

"There are fires everywhere in the Guan City. It seems that the Wei army is making detailed movements. I was ordered by the general to come to help defend the Guan Wall to prevent any unexpected events."

"Is there a seal?"

"The seal is here."

Just as the Chu army commander who was responsible for guarding this place came forward, a sudden gust of wind came towards his face.

Before he could react, a long sword pierced his armor.

Feeling the severe pain coming from his abdomen, the Chu army commander looked down and forward with a somewhat stunned expression, and then fell to the ground helplessly.

Seeing that the blow was successful, the leader of the Wei army did not hesitate at all, and immediately took the lead and killed the Chu soldiers under the wall.

Under the thrust of the long sword, another corpse fell to the ground, and the detailed shouts of the Wei army sounded on the wall.

"Seize the level, open and close the door!"

"kill!"

Amid the shouts of killing, the bowstring vibrated, and a famous soldier fell under the arrow;

Between the steps, a long sword was waved, and the heads fell to the ground one by one.

On this wall, which was related to the outcome of the entire battle, the Wei and Chu armies were fighting fiercely. Everyone knew that they could not give this place to the other.

That is to say, when the fighting between the two sides was at its most intense, the two teams inside and outside the pass were rushing towards the same place.
