Chapter 178: Smoke Rises

As night falls, the sea breeze rises from the north.

There are many bamboo forests growing on this island, and as the wind increases, the bamboo forests roll like waves. Even though it's autumn and winter, the bamboo forests here are still green.

A withered yellow bamboo leaf leaves the branch and drifts away in the direction of the wind, spinning like a windmill in mid-air. Below are dozens of piles of firewood that continue to dance in the wind and disappear into the smoke.

Dozens of puffs of smoke gathered together and swept away into the valley like a storm. Soon the hundreds of meters of walls were obscured, and nothing could be seen except billowing white smoke.

"Kill!"

General Huo Shen drew the saber at his waist, his face showed a hideous look, and he pointed in the direction of the city wall and shouted.

Although he had already guessed that the village was already empty, he was also very excited. No matter what choice these people make, they will not be able to escape from the palm of his hand, and he will also make this heroic achievement.

"Kill!"

The soldiers next to him responded loudly and rushed into the choking smoke with a ladder, intending to storm the wall. With their numerical superiority, they could go on a killing spree as long as they crossed the wall.

Bang! Bang!

They rushed into the fog and were rushing towards the walls when gunfire rang out like firecrackers. Many people rushed halfway through, but they had to turn around and run back, and some people had steel balls all over their faces.

"Haha, you didn't run away...... Kill Lao Tzu! ”

General Huo Shen laughed proudly, and immediately kicked at his subordinates.

These people did not choose to escape from the secret tunnel, so as long as he captured this wall, he could go on a killing spree and slaughter all the unarmed villagers.

Rush!

The soldiers had to rush forward again, only to be met with a dense burst of gunfire. After rushing into the smoke, they couldn't see where the fire guns were, so every time the fire guns sounded, they were terrified.

"Kill Lao Tzu!"

General Huo Shen saw that someone ran back again, and immediately kicked the subordinate angrily. While I was excited in my heart, I was also angry that these subordinates were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they were so soft.

Under his oppression, the soldiers rushed forward again and again, but when the gunfire rang out from above, some of them dropped the ladder and fled back in disarray.

What makes people feel strange is that General Huo Shen suddenly stopped paying attention to these deserters, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he looked in a certain direction of the thick smoke, as if there was some good-looking woman there.

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a crumbling sound in the direction of the city wall, apparently knocking out a gap.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The men guarding the walls also seemed to panic, shooting wildly in the direction of the collapse.

"Aha...... Withdraw it! Withdraw it! ”

General Huo Shen laughed wildly, and immediately gave an order in the direction of the smoke, with a bit of banter in his tone.

When he knew that the defensive force of the city wall was still there, he secretly dispatched his men and used the strategy of attacking the east and west, so that his henchmen could secretly hit the earthen wall with siege wood.

Everything went smoothly, and the people on the city wall paid attention only to the soldiers of the ladder, but not to the side of the siege tree, and his plan was successful.

Now that the wall has been knocked open, the wall has lost its defensive effect. Whether it is the man guarding the city, or the old and young women and children in the village, they will be a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" An officer triumphantly walked back and bowed to him.

General Huo Shen patted him on the shoulder excitedly to show his appreciation, and immediately stopped the attack, and at the same time ordered someone to destroy the fire.

Now that the walls have been broken, he doesn't need to continue to attack with smoke, he can kill them with dignity. The thought of being able to kill in this village made him feel so hot that his blood was already boiling.

More than three hundred sergeants lined up in the clearing, swords and swords, staring at the smoke ahead.

General Huo Shen was wearing iron armor and holding a sharp sword, standing at the front of the army, watching the smoke gradually disperse, at this time he did have the demeanor of a general.

The north wind was strong in the evening, and soon the smoke slowly blew away, and the perilous wall was revealed. It's just that under the eyes, the hundreds of meters long city wall resolutely has a big hole, like an open gate.

General Huo Shen showed a bright smile, and now in his eyes, this village is already a lamb to the slaughter. All it takes is his order, and this place will become a sea of blood.

It's just that he suddenly noticed a strange person standing on the city wall, it turned out to be a scholar, and as the smoke completely cleared, he finally saw the true face of the scholar standing on the city wall.

How can it be?

When he saw Lin Haoran clearly, he was completely stunned.

He did not forget that in the ship he escorted, there were forty-three people from Guangdong who had gone to the examination. He may not be able to remember the others, but this is the sixteen-year-old Guangdong Xie Yuan, how can he admit his mistake?

Now that this Xie Yuan did not die, but appeared here, thinking about everything that happened that night, a deep chill surged in his heart.

Although he still couldn't figure out how to get back here, he had a feeling that this man might know the secret of that night.

No, this is a good thing, this man is Tie Wenliang...... Hijacked here!

Huo Shenjiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Lin Haoran no longer frightened, but full of joy.

When his eyes converged on Lin Haoran, he had only one thought. That is to make this scholar completely shut up, and then naturally put this pot on Tie Wenliang's head, making him another strong evidence against Tie Wenliang.

"All the strong men obey the order, follow me to attack!"

General Huo Shen raised the sword in his hand, intending to lead the more than 300 soldiers to attack it, exterminate the scholar, and then slaughter this village completely, turning this place into a purgatory in the world.

Thinking that the noble Xie Yuanlang would die tragically under his knife, and the blood would be splattered on him and stain his clothes red, his whole person was immediately extremely excited.

It's just that his excitement didn't last long, because he suddenly found that no one stepped forward, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. was immediately angry in his heart, and he turned around to reprimand these subordinates who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but his face was suddenly stunned.

At some point, General Yu had already come behind him with his own soldiers, and he was looking at him like water. Looking at these cold eyes, his heart was suddenly cold.

But he didn't understand why General Yu suddenly appeared here, and he looked at him with such eyes.
