The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 354 Seizing Deer City

After the King of Jin was angrily criticized by Li Ling for massacre of prisoners, he had always been worried about Li Ling. Seeing that Li Ling was still unwilling to attack the city, he came to persecute him again and again, eager for quick success and instant gain, but he allowed him to talk eloquently. Li Ling only said: "The time is not up yet."

arrive."

Li Ling was neither arrogant nor impatient until the end of autumn.

On this day, the King of Jin, who could not control his temper, found Li Ling's military tent again. Before he could urge him, Lieutenant General Liang Jin entered the tent to report back. Seeing that the King of Jin was also there, he looked at Li Ling hesitantly.

Li Ling also followed Liang Jin and glanced at King Jin, and then said calmly to Liang Jin: "But it doesn't matter."

Liang Jin took Li Ling's life, and then he clasped his fists and reported: "Marshal, all the firearms, including fire oil, flint and stones, have been prepared."

Li Ling nodded and replied: "Now let me know. The whole army is on standby and will listen to my orders."

King Jin had been following for dozens of days, and today he had waited for all Li Ling's actions. He rolled his eyes, immediately put on a small face, and said cheerfully to Li Ling: "I said cousin. Oh no, it's Li Ling."

Handsome, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? I think you are really sincere and treat me as an outsider. Haha, I am the deputy commander after all. What is your plan? You should reveal it to me.

Just one or two."

Li Ling's northwest army waited until the end of autumn to attack Lucheng. The reason why it took until this time to send troops was because Li Ling came up with a clever plan to break the city.

That is the fire attack.

When he saw that Li Ling had regained the three cities easily, he had already been convinced by him. He knew that Li Ling was a difficult master to control, and Li Ling didn't trust him. King Jin didn't care much about it. It didn't matter that he couldn't take down Li Ling. He could follow him

Earning military honors, seizing the crown prince after returning to the capital, and ascending to the position of crown prince himself is what the King of Jin cares about most.

The King of Jin smiled at Li Ling and said, "Although I have never led an army before, I know the rules of the army. How could I pick Commander Li for this reason?"

King Jin glanced at Li Ling, still unconvinced and said: "Then I will be waiting."

The guards in the camp were all smoked out of the tent by the thick smoke. They bent down to cover their noses and coughed so hard that they couldn't straighten up. The camp, which was about to reap the fruits of victory, gradually lost its order, and the soldiers fell into disarray one by one.

He was so smoked that he was hiding in confusion.

King Jin looked at the soldiers in the camp who were busy carrying firearms, and sneered helplessly, and quickly summoned his confidants and ordered: "First prepare our supplies and horses, in case a fire breaks out in the camp at night.

The group of rebels in Lucheng City will naturally take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the fire. If this is the case, the army will definitely be in danger. When the fire starts, and if the wind direction does not change, we will go first."

Li Ling looked at King Jin and said expressionlessly: "I am not hiding this from the prince intentionally, but this matter is very important. If the news comes out, it will ruin the plan."

The King of Jin praised Li Ling, then suddenly waved his hands and said: "No! No! It's autumn now, the northwest wind is blowing, Lucheng is in the southeast, and our camp is in the northwest. If a fire breaks out, I'm afraid it will not be able to reach it.

Lucheng will bring disaster to us instead."

Li Ling raised his eyes and glanced at King Jin who was dancing with joy, without saying anything.

Li Ling replied: "No! I plan to attack Lucheng with fire."

Li Ling came up with this plan, but the reason why he never told King Jin was that King Jin was too selfish and eager for quick success, so he couldn't let Li Ling believe it.

The soldiers in Lucheng did not expect that Li Ling would attack Lucheng with fire. They suddenly saw fires on all sides. They were confused at first, but they saw that the smoke from the fire was blown by the strong wind to the Qi army camp. All the soldiers in Lucheng were

Breathed a big sigh of relief.

Lucheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, all of which are steep cliffs, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, this terrain also has disadvantages.

That's because the trees on the three sides of the mountain are luxuriant. If the vegetation is dry in autumn and winter, and a fire breaks out, the city trapped in the middle will naturally collapse.

King Jin stood outside the tent and waited eagerly for the wind direction to change. However, when the sky turned dark and there was no change in the wind direction, his heart became cold.

Li Ling winked at Liang Jin, who stepped forward and clasped his fists at King Jin and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Marshal is observing the stars at night and has already predicted that the wind direction will change tonight."

Li Ling glanced at King Jin, but he didn't expect that this man still had some brains, and he was not a complete idiot.

Li Ling nodded to King Jin and said: "In the seven days, the wind will be from the southeast tonight only tonight. Your Majesty, just wait and see."

Li Ling replied with two words neatly: "Tonight."

King Jin came out of the central army tent. He looked up at the big tree whose branches and leaves were trembling in the northwest wind, and complained: "Where did the southeast wind come from? I think Li Ling is also helpless against Lucheng. He is forced to

I must be half stupid."

After a while, I saw the mountains over Lucheng burst into flames. The wind borrowed the power of the fire, and the fire borrowed the power of the wind. The raging fire dyed the vast black sky red, and billowing black smoke came straight towards the camp.

With that said, he looked at Li Ling and asked: "Now, can Li Shuai tell me when you plan to attack the city?"

After listening to King Jin's instructions, the confidants hurriedly trotted to pack their bags and prepare their horses.

He took his generals with him, led the army out of the city, and rushed straight to the Qi army's camp with great momentum.

If the fire breaks out and the wind direction does not change, it will burn the whole camp. King Jin really wants to be the crown prince, and he doesn't want to return without success.

After hearing this, King Jin was stunned with surprise. He looked at Li Ling and said in surprise: "The northwest wind always blows in autumn. Li Shuai is really sure that the wind direction will change tonight. This is not a child's play. I advise you to think twice."

"

When King Jin heard what Li Ling said, he thought hard for a while before he was enlightened. He put his palms in his hands and laughed and said, "Shuai Li has such a good plan! He is really resourceful!"

Now that the city is about to be destroyed, Li Ling is no longer afraid of leaks, and naturally has no reason to hide it from King Jin anymore.

King Jin frowned and asked doubtfully: "Are you planning a sneak attack?"

Lucheng was besieged by Li Ling's army for several months. Although the city had plenty of food and grass, enough to survive for two or three years, Shi Xiu was also worried that he had no way to retreat from the enemy. Now was a God-given opportunity. Seeing this, Shi Xiu had an idea and immediately ordered the city to be opened.

Door.

In an instant, outside the Qi army's camp, the enemy's shouts of killing shook the heaven and the earth, which was heart-stirring.

When King Jin, who was staying in the camp, saw this situation, he was so frightened that his legs became weak. He slapped his thigh in anger and cursed: "Oh my God! The rebels are coming! This, this, this, this, this, this, this, is really going to wipe out the whole army."

Ah. Ah! Li Ling, Li Ling, you really missed this important event for me!"

Seeing that the rebel army had invaded the camp and was about to annihilate the 100,000-strong Qi army, King Jin regretted that he had not gained military merit during this trip, but after all, his family and life were the most important thing, and he could not think about anything else at this moment.

King Jin quickly got on his horse, and with a few followers on fast horses, they slipped away from the back gate of the camp.
