Yang Xiuqing led a large army into the city. Directly asked Jiang Mu to take the soldiers to the barracks, and he, Hong Xuanjiao and the guards of the two stayed in the county office. After Yang Xiuqing settled down in the county government, he immediately convened the generals in the army to discuss the meeting, and sent people to invite Lars from outside the city to the city to discuss countermeasures against Li Zhen.

I don't know how many times such meetings have been held.

However, not once has a viable strategy been discussed. Discussions continued into the afternoon and were still inconclusive. Yang Xiuqing was disappointed, and Jiang Mu and Lars were relieved. The two left the county government and ran towards their own barracks.

Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xuanjiao stayed in the county government and returned to the backyard.

At this time, Bai Shiyuan was undoubtedly relaxed, because he was not harshly reprimanded by Yang Xiuqing. It's just that Bai Shiyuan still feels worried when he thinks of Li Zhen, after all, he hasn't gotten the antidote yet.

……

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight shines on the mountains.

Wisps of light sprinkled on the ground through the cracks, dotted the ground in the mountain forest with speckled light spots, and combined with the mist in the upper forest, there was a strange taste.

The soldiers of the brigade are hiding in such mountains and forests.

Li Zhen picked up a piece of wooden stick and threw it in the burning bonfire, and used the stick to stir it twice. He took out the pocket watch in his arms, looked at it, and said slowly: "It's nine o'clock, and there is still half an hour until half past nine." When the time comes, our plans will be fully launched. Lu Shaochuan, you go and gather the soldiers and prepare to go to Longtan Town. ”

"Yes!"

Lu Shaochuan got the order and immediately began to prepare.

Li Zhen turned his gaze, looked at Huang Qiang again, and said, "Send all the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion and let them approach Longtan Town first and get rid of the Taiping scouts that may exist on the road." ”

"Yes!"

Huang Qiang nodded in response, turned around and left.

Long Xi looked at the army that had already taken action, thought about it, and said tentatively: "Dashuai, this time you have laid a trap and are nine percent sure of killing Yang Xiuqing, do you really plan to spare him?" ”

Li Zhen said: "If you don't kill, it's enough to win." ”

Li Zhen saw that Long Xi had a puzzled look on his face, and then said: "Before you came to Nanjing, you could see through the situation, but why don't you understand it now." What I want to do is to weaken the power of the Taiqi Heavenly Kingdom, just weaken, but not to make the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom come to the brink of extinction, at least now is not the time, so it is enough to win the battle. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhen turned around and left, and began to prepare for Longtan Town.

Long Xi stood alone, scratched his head, and suddenly laughed. He looked at Li Zhen's back, and he had clearly felt the ambition that Li Zhen had hidden in his heart. When discussing how to deal with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the past, the idea of weakening the Taiping Army had already been proposed, but that was not what Li Zhen said, but this time Li Zhen made it clear.

Long Xi smiled at the corner of his mouth and took a step forward.

……

Longtan Town, in the county seat.

Under the starry night, a group of people dressed in black appeared in the north of the county. Carrying a wooden barrel in their hands, they walked back and forth through the streets, pouring oil or liquor on the surrounding buildings. If you carefully distinguish them, you will find that these people are all soldiers in Li Zhen's army.

At the same time, soldiers dressed in black appeared in the east, south, west, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest of the county, all carrying a large barrel, pouring oil and high-concentration liquor on the surrounding houses.

This behavior lasted for half an hour.

At half-past nine, an arrow rose into the air, and a loud bang erupted in the air.

"Ignition!"

"Ignition!"

"Light a fire for Lao Tzu!"

……

The eight directions of the county seat suddenly burst into flames. Fires were lit in eight directions, and with the cool breeze of the night, they quickly spread, even lighting up the night and dispelling the night in the city. The fiery red gaze was dazzling, like a fiery snake spreading rapidly in the city.

In the barracks, the soldiers who patrolled the night were the first to notice the abnormality.

The soldiers reported the news, and Jiang Mu got the news, hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out. Standing in the barracks, he looked up and saw the flames burning in eight directions in the city. In addition, Jiang Mu also found that the flames burning in eight directions had burned into one piece, forming a huge circle, trapping the entire city in it.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Mu chuckled in his heart.

Hit the trick!

Jiang Mu's face turned pale with fright, and he shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, gather the soldiers!" ”

"Bell! Clang!!! ”

The sound of the gong soon resounded through the camp, waking up the sleeping soldiers.

"General, there's a fire at the rear of the camp."

One soldier pointed to the rear camp and shouted. Jiang Mu followed the prestige and found that a fire had ignited in the direction of the rear camp. Not only that, but this flame began to spread from the place where the rear camp was burning, swimming quickly on both sides like a fire snake, and actually surrounded the camp in a circle, leaving only the direction of the gate.

Seeing this, Jiang Mu was still relieved in his heart.

As long as you leave the position at the entrance to the camp, there is still a chance to leave with the army.

"Boom!!"

When Jiang Mu thought that there was still a glimmer of life, an explosion suddenly came from the gate of the camp.

A violent explosion sounded, as if a powder keg had been ignited. Immediately afterward, a series of explosions began to appear in the camp, and the rumbling sound was incessant. At this moment, the fire on the outskirts of the camp was burning, constantly spreading towards the camp. At the same time, after the explosion at the camp gate, the explosion quickly sounded in the camp.

Jiang Mu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do?

"Boom!!"

An explosion sounded at Jiang Mu's feet.

The dirt splashed out, and Jiang Mu didn't even have time to dodge before he flew up. He only felt a powerful and incomparable force coming from under his body, directly rushing him into the sky. This force was so powerful that it hurt his heart and his brain lost its response. When Jiang Mu's body fell from the sky, there was no breath, and the seven orifices began to overflow with blood.

The sound of explosions is still ringing.

Everything was discussed by Li Zhen, Long Xi, and Huang Qiang. When Li Zhen led the army to stay in the city, he kept the soldiers in the army arranging it, and countless explosives were arranged under the barracks. Once the fire burns and the fire burns to the camp gate, it will ignite the fuse of the explosives at the camp gate, and this wave of explosives will explode and quickly spread to the camp.

Dense explosions of explosives, combined with fire, turned the camp into a sea of fire. The soldiers in the camp were killed, wounded, and threatened by fire.

Outside the camp, a group of men in black quickly disappeared and ran towards the city gate.

Not only that, but the black-clothed people in all directions of Longtan Town were like this, and they all ran towards the city gate.

Outside the city, Lars saw a fire in the city and heard an explosion, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. Without any hesitation, he went straight into the city with his soldiers.

After entering the city, Lars led his troops towards the county capital.

At this time, no one noticed that the soldiers in black in the city had blended into the group, and then quickly changed their clothes. Although the skin color is different, under the shroud of the night, and the foreign soldiers around him are all more than 1.8 meters old, the soldiers under Li Zhen's command are hidden in it and no one finds it at all.
