Li Wenhou never thought Bian Zhang would rebel from beginning to end. He thought that Zhamo had put Bian Zhang and others into the city, and then the archer cavalry army under General Zhendong was attacking the city! Of course, this idea was also unrestrained. As long as the head of the archer cavalry army was not clamped by the door, he would never attack the city. But he really couldn't think of any other possibilities.

At this time, a messenger stumbled in and shouted as he walked: "Chief! The big thing is wrong! The enemy is attacking and entering the city."

Li Wenhou stood up with a "swoosh" sound, with a shocked face on his face and asked, "What did you say? Say it again?"

The messenger said breathlessly: "The leader... the enemy has entered... the enemy has attacked the city, and now... has occupied several streets around the East City Gate."

Li Wenhou's face suddenly changed and he said, "How is it possible? How did the other party attack in?"

The messenger said: "Yes... it's Bian Zhang's rebellion. When Zha Mo Dajin let them in, Bian Zhang immediately launched an attack. The opponent's strength was too strong, and the defending army did not take strict defense, so Bian Zhang controlled the East City Gate. At this time, another 200,000 troops rushed in from outside the city, and the heavy cavalry opened the way, occupying several streets around the city gate. Moreover, more than half of the city wall on the east was occupied. Zha Mo Dajin was shot and killed by an opponent's general when the opponent captured the city gate. Mr. Zheng... Mr. Zheng was also knocked unconscious and taken away by the opponent."

Li Wenhou said coldly: "Send the order and mobilize the entire city of the army for me. Be sure to drive this army out within half a day, at any cost!"

The messenger immediately took the order.

Li Wenhou finally understood the strategy of the general Zhendong, but it seemed a little too late now. He really wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet. Now Zamo is dead. Although this powerful general is not smart, he is loyal to him and has very good military power. Since he became the leader of the Western Qiang region, Zamo has been following him in battles and has now died here.

What worried Li Wenhou the most was that the imperial army of aliens had arrived and started to march towards Yaoshui City. If the army could not drive the army of General Zhendong out of the city before this army arrived, Yaoshui City would be in danger! In terms of distance, if this army of aliens marched at full speed, it would be at most ten hours outside Yaoshui City. Can the enemy troops in the city be driven out in ten hours?

This army is not that easy to deal with. If you guess well, these more than 200,000 troops were the troops that intercepted Han Sui's army to support Beigong Boyu. This belongs to General Zhendong's direct troops and has very strong combat power.

...After capturing several streets around the East City Gate, the Qinglong Legion stopped its attack and returned to the defense line built by its own legion. After retracting its mount, it worked with the other two legions to clear the combat power in these streets. At the same time, a large number of archers began to climb up to the roof of the front line and occupy a high position to attack the opponent.

Yang Yao rushed in with the Qinglong Legion, and he was also free now. In order to prevent accidents, Yang Yao gave in and drove out all the situations in the area they occupied. After some intimidation, he took them into Xuanji Ring.

Then Yang Yao took out a large number of pottery jars from the ghost ring, which were filled with tung oil. The soldiers took the order to collect a pottery jar from Yang Yao, and then rushed to the front line. When they arrived on the street where the two sides were fighting, the soldiers immediately opened the pottery jars and threw them at the houses across the street. The tung oil inside suddenly flowed out, soaking the houses.

With such an obvious approach, how could the Xiliang rebels not guess the intentions of the imperial army? However, even if they guessed it, they could not find a solution. The soldiers who threw the pots were all staying behind, and they were stopped by the other party's well-equipped soldiers. It was very difficult to protect themselves, let alone rushing up to stop the soldiers who threw the pots.

Seeing that the outer houses of several streets occupied by Baiyun City were all soaked with tung oil, the army of Baiyun City was suddenly subjected to fierce counterattack by the rebels, and the first one to attack was a Xiliang Iron Cavalry Legion. Fortunately, in the city, the heavy cavalry could not charge very quickly. Bo, the deputy commander of the White Tiger Legion, immediately ordered the spearmen to leave and block the opponent's Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"Light!" Bo Cai shouted, and immediately countless torches were thrown at the roof soaked with tung oil. Suddenly, thick smoke rose from the city, followed by the flames that were rushing to death.

Due to the narrow streets, there are not many troops that can be put into the front line, including the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who rushed over now, but only one or two thousand people were in. Now the fire of the Baiyun City army completely stopped these orthodox rebels here. As for the rebels coming from behind, they could only sigh. The wooden houses were easy to ignite, and not to mention that they were splashed with tung oil, so how could it be so easy to extinguish?

The rebels who were stopped in the east suddenly went crazy. Without support, they had only one way to die when facing hundreds of thousands of enemy troops. However, these guys were elite forces and did not surrender in such a desperate situation. Instead, they completely ignored their own defense and launched a desperate battle against the Baiyun City army.

As soon as the fire continued, it gradually spread to the west, but the rebels who were stopped in the west were not idle. Under the leadership of the generals, they began to demolish the houses and created a fire barrier, which could prevent the fire from spreading across the city. The project was not large in volume, and it was only possible to demolish some key areas of the houses.

Some of the Baiyun City troops were demolishing their houses. They didn't want the small territory they occupied to be burned out by a fire they set off.

In about half an hour, the rebels isolated to the east were all wiped out by the Baiyun City army, and the White Tiger Legion also paid more than 2,000 lives.

At this time, we can finally take a break. Before the fire is extinguished, the other party cannot attack them. Judging from the current fire, as long as it does not suddenly rain heavily, the fire will have to be burned for at least three or four hours. This is also due to the fact that the fire is dry and the wood in the house is very easy to burn, otherwise it may be longer.

Taking advantage of this period, Yang Yao immediately ordered the army to start laying out defense lines, digging trenches on the streets, and setting up obstacles.

...Li Wenhou stayed in the city lord's mansion and felt upset for a while. He didn't know how Yaoshui City, which was originally sure to win, had become the current situation. He immediately prepared to go to the battlefield in Dongcheng to take a look.

As soon as he walked out of Yaoshui City, he saw thick smoke rolling in the east of the city and the flames reflected red. Just when he was shocked and puzzled, a messenger ran over and said, "Chief, the imperial army used tung oil to ignite several streets in the city, completely isolating them from us. Now our army cannot go through. Please decide!"

Li Wenhou felt anger rising from his heart, and he felt extremely depressed. After a while, he asked, "When will the fire be extinguished?"

The messenger said, "It will take about three hours to report to the leader."

Li Wenhou sighed and said, "Okay, you go there first! Pay close attention to the battle situation and immediately repay it if there is any situation."

"Yes!" the messenger shouted loudly, then turned around and ran towards the battlefield east.

Li Wenhou looked at the firelight in the distance again and returned to the city lord's mansion helplessly. He had a bad premonition in his heart. Maybe Yaoshui City could not be defended. But he had not thought about abandoning the city, because this was the old nest he had worked hard for nearly a year and was also his base, so he didn't want to give up easily like this.

However, Yaoshui City is already in war, and it is impossible to mobilize troops to support it. Among the cities belonging to the Xiliang camp, Qinchuan City is the closest to Yaoshui, and it will take at least nearly two Yao to come from Qinchuan City. However, the imperial army of the imperial court will not wait for these two Yaoshu.

...Three hours later, the fire in the house finally weakened, all the houses in the fire had collapsed, and sporadic flames burned in the ruins. If you have to wait for the flames to be completely extinguished, you will have to wait at least one or two hours.

However, the rebels couldn't wait for so long. They took basins and started to put out the fire. At the same time, some of the rebels began to use sand to pave the ground, which could prevent the soles of their feet from being burned by the hot ground.

Yang Yao looked at the busy rebel soldiers and felt a little conflicted. Guo Jia stood beside him and said, "Lord, please give me the order!"

Yang Yao packed up his emotions, nodded, and shouted: "Archer is ready to stop the other party from extinguishing the fire!"

Suddenly, the archers in the White Tiger Legion stood in front and under the cover of a row of heavy shield soldiers, they shot at the busy rebels. The rebel soldiers who had no resistance immediately fell down a large area.

The rebel soldiers behind did not retreat because of this, but also made corresponding defense measures, that is, they also sent a heavy shield army to advance to the front line to cover other soldiers to transport sand or water basins. At the same time, a large number of archers also fought back in the rear.

The two sides started a confrontation on the position where thick smoke continued to blew. Countless arrows intertwined in the air, making their scalp numb.

The rebel camp took about half an hour to finally pass the fire scene of more than 200 meters. The sand and soil had already covered the ground. Although it still seemed very hot, it would no longer burn it. Many of the things used to pave the ground were not sand and soil, but the corpses of soldiers. In this process, the rebels paid at least 60,000 to 70,000 yuan to pave this road that could be passed.
