As night fell, the dark clouds in the sky pressed low. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn addition to the thieves cruising at the head of Quzhou County, holding torches and emitting a little light, the thick ink of the night outside is as dark as the night, and there are gusts of strange wind from time to time, which coincides with the sentence that the moon is dark and killing, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.

Shi Qian poked his head out, avoided the location of the city gate tower, and quietly sneaked to a secluded city wall outside Quzhou County, he looked at the top of the city wall, it was less than two zhang high, far shorter than the various dangerous state capitals. This time he just sneaked into a county seat, and Shi Qian didn't even carry the flying catch to assist in climbing over the wall, he only brought a fire fold and a fire coal cylinder, and asked for two sealed cans of fierce fire oil from Wei Dingguo's firearms to carry on his back with a burden.

This time, Xiao Tang tried his best to ensure that he moved in time, only saying that he was a cronie in his own house, and after the persuasion of others, Wei Dingguo reluctantly agreed. Shi Qian is also holding back his strength, and he is determined to complete this task of sneaking into the city and combining the inside and outside beautifully, and he is also called despising himself and knowing the benefits and disadvantages of his fleas!

Shi Qian looked left and right, stretched out his hand and gently patted the city wall. The city wall of this Quzhou county town is also made of rammed earth, the city bricks are staggered with white mortar masonry, and some parts of the skin of the city wall have faded to a layer of soil under the disrepair. Finally, when the time moved to a certain position, there were three or two places on the surface of the city wall at a height of five or six feet, and it was difficult for ordinary people to climb over their feet.

"I only think of this wall as a country fence to cross, but I don't see how I can drum up fleas!" The corners of Shi Qian's mouth curled, and he listened to it again, Shi Qian's vision and hearing, which was used to acting on a moonlit night, were also more sensitive than ordinary people, and he knew that there were no thieves left and right on the city wall here at this time, so he took two steps back, and was ready to jump.

Shi Qian took a deep breath, and rubbed the ground and rose to the ground. He pedaled on the city wall and jumped a few feet high, then reached out and grabbed it, three fingers were buckled in the slightly uneven place of the city wall, and then vertically jumped, like a civet climbing a tree, gecko swimming on the wall, hand and foot at the same time, and in a moment he had climbed the head of the city wall around the city.

"It's just that I don't know where the granaries of the pastures in this Quzhou County are, and there will be many thieves patrolling the city gate towers around, and if you want to open the city gate, I'm afraid you will show your feet......" Shi Qian thought about it, leaned over and sneaked around, looking for a foothold, jumping off the city wall and sneaking into the county.

The flea on the drum, dressed in a night suit, seemed to be completely integrated with the night, and although there were thieves patrolling not far away from time to time, he did not notice any unusual movement around him. At that time, he sneaked away from the city wall for a while, slipped into an alley, turned over and jumped onto a dwelling, and sneaked on the roof to investigate, even if he stepped on the tiles, he was silent, and he couldn't hear the slightest sound.

"Straight sissy thief! Let's fight with the officials and soldiers first, only to break most of the brothers, Zhang Li and Zhao Neng, the two donkey birds, only look at the excitement, but they dare to color with us! How can I bear this!? Shi Qian suddenly heard the shouting and scolding from the houses in front of him, and it seemed that he was also a thief from the southern Hebei army, so he sneaked over, took a look at the tiles, and looked down.

"Who should I be, it turns out to be this rammer again! It's unlucky to be a guy together, and this time I bumped into Brother Xiao Tang again, but it's not the bad luck of this stupid bird? Shi Qian couldn't help but laugh secretly, it turned out that the person who was shouting and scolding in that house was Dong Cheng who he saw in Weicheng that day, fighting with Xiao Tang in front of the battle.

At this time, Dong Cheng looked annoyed, and he was sitting in the room with Shen Ji and Geng Gong, and he heard Geng Gong say: "Our strong men in the Southern Hebei Alliance are divided into high and low, all based on the number of soldiers and horses brought, Brother Dong has fought several times, how can he ever fall behind?" Zhang Mengzhu asked us to lead the remnants to help Zhang Li and Zhao Neng guard Quzhou County, and resist the soldiers of those battalions of officers and soldiers. ”

Shen Ji also said angrily: "Zhang Meng's behavior is like this, and the direct sect brother is cold!" Not only the good man Bian Xiang in Hedong, but also several strongmen were all sent back by him to Yongnian and Linwei to guard Dazhai. Our brothers were born and died for him, but they were put here to fight against the officials and soldiers! I don't think it's as good as ......."

As he was talking, Shen Ji looked out, and then lowered his voice and said, "I think it's better for us to take our brothers back to Fenglong Mountain, otherwise it will be consumed like this, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for our brothers to keep a corpse!" ”

Dong Cheng listened to Shen Ji's words and groaned for a moment, then immediately shook his huge head like a rattle, and said categorically: "No!" Let's go back to Fenglong Mountain, what kind of climate can we achieve with just these few people? Besides, since our brothers have worshiped Zhang Di as the leader of the alliance, and now they don't say goodbye, won't it hurt the righteousness of the rivers and lakes? ”

Shen Ji paused and said, "Oh, my big brother! Since Zhang Di is not a confidant, what are you talking about with that guy, big brother? ”

Dong Cheng said angrily: "Shut your beak!" I, Dong Cheng, have fallen into the grass since I fell into the grass, and I am a good man who puts his head on the waistband of his pants and is not afraid of death! Now if I run away in disgrace, won't I teach the heroes in the rivers and lakes to laugh at me for being a greedy and fearful of death? Although Zhang Di treats me unfairly, I will deal with him, but I can ask Dong Cheng to be a coward to flee for my life before the battle, which is absolutely impossible! Go and take care of yourselves! But I won't go! ”

Shen Ji and Geng Gong saw that Dong Cheng was angry, so they had to keep silent. And Shi Qian eavesdropped on the formation, and suddenly he thought about it, and he secretly said: Listening to what these three thieves said, most of the thieves under Zhang Di are rabble, fighting each other openly and secretly. Since the two groups of strongmen in the city are not compatible, I might as well stay until midnight and set fire to most of the minions when they are asleep ignorant.

When the time moved to the third or fourth watch, after Dong Cheng and the others fell asleep soundly, he quietly slipped down from under the house, found a few dry thatched huts and wooden houses around, poured the pot of fire oil up and down, and then climbed up to another roof, lit the fire and threw away the fire coal cylinder, the spark next to the fierce fire oil a fierce fire burst out, the Song Dynasty town dwellings are mostly thatched tile houses, the houses in Quzhou County are more bamboo and wood structures, and then borrow the momentum of the fierce fire oil, once the fire starts, but for a moment it is already a fire, thick smoke billowing.

"Let's go to the water! Let's go to the water! "Some thieves were shocked to realize that there was a fire in Chengnei, and when they hurried to the scene, the heat wave in front of them was already coming. I only saw dozens of rooms blazing into the sky, reflecting half of the night sky brightly, in addition to the thieves guarding the city, most of the people in the county rushed out of the house, and countless people were pushed down and overturned for a while, crying and crying, and the situation was extremely chaotic.

Dong Cheng, Shen Ji, and Geng Gong were only wearing underwear, and when they just rushed out of the room in a panic, Shi Qian took advantage of the noisy life and shouted loudly: "Zhang Li!" You shit! He came to assassinate ...... Yes! ”

Dong Cheng's minions and the thieves under Zhang Li and Zhao Neng woke up from their dreams and were drowsy. Seeing the spread of the fire, they panicked, and for a while the people were in a hurry, where could they tell where Shi Qian was shouting? Then Shi Qian took a few more steps, jumped to another room, and shouted loudly in a different tone with his ventriloquist skills.

The situation in front of him was chaotic, Dong Cheng and the thieves didn't have time to think about it, and when they heard someone screaming, they subconsciously waved their blades and slashed at the thieves under Zhang Li and Zhao Neng who rushed over. Dong Cheng also said angrily: "Zhang Li and Zhao Neng are two dog thieves!" Dare to come to Yin Laozi!? ”

Dong Cheng staggered back into the house, picked up the wind knife and rushed out of the house and cut it down, although Shen Ji and Geng Gong felt that this matter was a little strange, but the situation in front of them had no chance to discern the matter. Seeing that Dong Cheng killed Zhang Li and Zhao Neng's subordinates, he had no choice but to rush up to help.

Two groups of thieves are fighting together, although the surrounding residents want to come to extinguish the fire, how dare they get close to the murderers who are fighting bloodily? Only too little pouring, the fire spreads, and the sky is baked. Several teams of thieves at the east gate of Quzhou City saw the flames in the city, and listened to the blades of the soldiers, screaming and howling endlessly, and hurriedly rushed to the city to check, leaving only more than ten thieves to guard the city gate.

After only a moment, a jar of fierce fire oil was thrown from the top of the east gate tower of Quzhou City, and it was smashed on the head of a thief. The thief snorted and fainted, splashing the oil all over the surrounding people.

After Shi Qian's sneak attack eliminated the two thieves on the tower of the city gate, he lit a fire and volleyed into the air. The fire fold he threw out was stained with fierce fire oil, and a wall of fire suddenly separated Shi Qian from the thieves. Seven or eight thieves were engulfed in flames, and they howled endlessly, and the remaining few were stunned, and Shi Qian erected the pier that held the door hinge of the door leaf, and the city gate made a creaking sound, and it had been pushed open by Shi Qian.

Xiao Tang, Wei Dingguo, Shan Yanqi and other troops have already been ambushed outside the city. Seeing that there was a fire in the city, he knew that Shi Qian had succeeded, Xiao Tang shouted to Wei Dingguo and Shan Yanqi: "Shi Qian's brothers should be successful, and now the thieves are in chaos, it is a good time to break the city!" ”

Wei Dingguo and Shan Yanqi led the second battalion of water and fire to the east side of Quzhou County and smashed open the city gate, and they rushed in one after another. The thieves in the city were already trapped and frightened, and when they saw the officials and soldiers entering the city, they fled one after another. The thief Zhao Nenggang ran to the east gate, saw Wei Dingguo and Shan Yanqi two generals rushing over, and fought with them for seven or eight rounds with a gun, and it was difficult to support it alone and was knocked over by Shan Yanqi with a shot, Wei Dingguo drove a horse to catch up, and the cooked copper knife in his hand slashed, chopping off Zhang Neng's head!

At this time, Xiao Tang had also led Suo Chao, Hua Rong, Zhou Jin, Wang Ding, and Xue Yong to lead the troops to pour in. Suo Chao and Zhou Jin went straight to the county government to kill and bumped into the thief Zhang Li. Zhang Li had no intention of fighting, and was chopped off the horse by Suo Chao with an axe before he counted. Xiao Tang and Hua Rong went to the south gate, Wang Ding and Xue Yong went to the north gate to cover and kill, and all the thieves were caught on fire, infighting, and the Lord was killed.

Dong Chengwu fought hard by himself, and when he saw that the officers and soldiers were also pouring in, he knew that it was difficult to resist. He chopped over a few people, grabbed a war horse, and led thirty or forty thieves with Shen Ji and Geng Gong to flee in panic at the west gate of Quzhou County, but just as he met Xue Yong and Wang Ding leading the army to kill them, they were cut off at the waist.

"Wreck! One after another, this time it was so embarrassing! Dong Cheng hissed and scolded, seeing that there were many officers and soldiers, he had to collide with Shen Ji and the two horses to make a bloody road. Geng Gong and several small leaders were surrounded by layers, crying out in distress, and when he was in a hurry, Xue Yong rushed out and stabbed Geng Gong in the thigh with a shot.

Geng Gong howled miserably and fell off the horse. and his subordinates were all beaten by Wang Ding, Xue Yong's subordinate soldiers, and Xiang Yong.

The night sky was still brightly lit up by the raging fires, but the battle of Quzhou was gradually coming to an end.
