In the dense forest, there are several figures lurking, one of them is Xu Rong.
Wearing black armor, he squatted on the ground, hiding in the dense forest and staring at Li Ru, Fan Chou and Li Meng outside the city gate.
Xu Rong looked calm, with no panic on his face, but there was a hint of urgency in his dark and shiny eyes.
It was already the second watch when he and Duan Yan led the army out of the city.
Then, we went back and forth on the road again, which took more than an hour.
After returning to the outside of the county town, they wasted some time waiting in the dense forest for Fan Chou to lead his troops.
At this time, it was already the end of the third watch, and it was about to reach the fourth watch.
Time was very tight for Xu Rong, and he had to seize the time to achieve his goal.
In ancient times, there were five shifts after nightfall.
The first watch is from 7 to 9 o'clock in the evening, and the second watch is from 9 to 11 o'clock.
There is a two-hour interval between each watch.
By the fifth watch, the sky is already gray and bright, around five o'clock.
Xu Rong led his troops to ambush in the woods.
It was almost the fourth watch.
In other words, it was almost 1 o'clock in the morning.
Xu Rong still has a lot of things to do in the follow-up.
One or two hours are too tight to complete everything.
He must have enough time to make arrangements and then set up a plan to let Li Ru and others die without a burial place.
However, Li Ru, Fan Chou and Li Meng stayed outside the city and Xu Rong could not launch an attack.
The reason is that Xu Rong only had more than 7,000 soldiers under his command, while Fan Chou had tens of thousands of soldiers.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great.
Therefore, Xu Rong must outsmart him, otherwise both sides will rely on soldiers to rush forward one by one, and he will definitely lose in the end.
Xu Rong is hiding in the dense forest, eagerly looking forward to Li Ru entering the city soon, so that he can start preparations .
On the left side of Xu Rong, a soldier showed an eager look on his face and said in a low voice: "General, they are lingering outside the city.
Have they noticed the situation?"
Xu Rong looked resolute, shook his head and said, "It's impossible.
We did it very covertly and we won't be discovered."
The soldier wanted to say something else, but no words came out.
On the surface, the layout is very secretive, but if you observe carefully, or someone with high alertness, you will definitely be able to detect it.
Time passed, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Ru, Fan Chou and Li Meng were riding on horses, chatting and laughing with each other.
By now, the fighting has long ended, but the three of them still have not entered the city.
Since Li Ru and the others stayed outside, all the soldiers who attacked the city stayed outside.
Only a few soldiers were cleaning the battlefield in the city, cleaning up the broken limbs and arms on the towers or under the city.
It's the fourth watch.
It's already the fourth watch.
Time is becoming increasingly urgent for Xu Rong.
He was hiding in the dense forest, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and the palm of his right hand holding the hilt of the sword was also covered with sweat.
Although his body was half-crouched, he could clearly hear his pounding heartbeat.
He pursed his lips and stared intently at Li Ru, but Li Ru remained motionless and chatted with Fan Chou and others while riding on his horse.
Behind Xu Rong, a soldier got impatient and tried to persuade him: "General, we have been waiting for nearly two hours.
They haven't entered the city yet.
What should we do?
Should we launch an attack?"
Xu Rong shook his head.

At this time, he needed to calm down even more.
Compared to any other soldier, Xu Rong was more anxious, but things could not be rushed or panicked.
If he had the Flying Bear Army under Dong Zhuo, he could directly lead his troops and charge out, killing him and turning the world upside down.
However, the soldiers under his command cannot even be called elite soldiers.
Only a small number of them are elite soldiers, and most of them are soldiers who have just been recruited or have not been in the army for a long time.
Comparing the two, the experience of Xu Rong's soldiers was not as good as that of Fan Chou's soldiers, and the number of soldiers was not comparable.
The only way to defeat Fan Chou was to win by surprise.
"General, they are entering the city.
They are entering the city."
Suddenly, a soldier let out a low cry, with a look of joy on his face.
Xu Rong saw the army moving, and Li Ru, Fan Chou and Li Meng also entered the city.
He finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his face relaxed.
With a wave of his hand, a junior high school student walked up to Xu Rong, waiting for instructions.
Xu Rong looked serious and ordered: "Tell the soldiers to get ready and wait for my order."
"promise" The captain replied and turned around to go.
In the city, there is the county government office.
Li Ru, Li Meng, and Fan Chou were sitting in the hall.
Fan Chou had a confused look on his face and said, "Mr.
Li, why did you let us stay outside the city for more than an hour?
What do you mean?
Until now, I still don't understand what happened."
Fan Chou's head was confused.
He didn't know what Li Ru was up to, but Li Ru asked him to cooperate, so he had no choice but to agree.
Li Meng also asked: "Sir, tell me, what happened?"
Li Ru looked solemn and said: "Many houses in the city have been poured with tung oil.
As long as they touch an open fire, they will burn immediately.
When the time comes, fires will be ignited everywhere in the city and the situation will be chaotic.
Xu Rong and Duan Yan can take advantage of it.
Take the opportunity to take advantage of our chaos and wait for work to wipe out our soldiers. " At this time, Li Ru did not know that Duan Xuan was dead.
When he heard the news from the man in black, he thought that Duan Yan and Xu Rong had left and then returned with a false shot.
When Fan Chou heard this, he jumped up from his seat.
He pointed at Li Ru and said loudly: "Mr.
Li, why didn't you tell us such an important thing?
Now the houses in the city have been splashed with tung oil.
Once the open fire is ignited and the fire spreads, we will definitely become turtles in the urn in the city.
Quickly , Hurry, go out first."
Fan Chou was extremely panicked and just wanted to escape.
Li Meng also felt on pins and needles and couldn't sit still.
He looked at Li Ru reproachfully.
He and Fan Chou ignored Li Ru.
They both stood up immediately and ran out of the county hall.
In the hall, Li Ru shook his head slightly, secretly thinking that it would be difficult for the two of them to accomplish anything big.
He was so frightened by a little thing, how could he have the ability to control the world?
He stood up from his seat and walked out of the hall.
As soon as they walked out of the hall, they saw Fan Chou and Li Meng turning around and running back.

Fan Chou asked: "Sir, you have a clever plan and you must have a plan to defeat the enemy.
Please teach me, sir."
Li Meng also said: "Sir, please teach me."
The two people were so frightened at first that they ran out of the hall.
But before he reached the gate of the county government office, Fan Chou turned his head and looked behind him.
He didn't see Li Ru's figure.
He was surprised.
After thinking for a while, he felt that Li Ru must have a plan to defeat the enemy.
Otherwise it would be impossible to remain in the lobby without quickly escaping.
He and Li Meng ran back to ask Li Ru for advice.
Seeing this, Li Ru smiled and said: "Two generals, don't worry, this time it's just a near miss, nothing serious.
No matter what the fire is, when the strong wind comes and the rain falls suddenly, Xu Rong and Duan Yan want to attack with fire The plan will be ineffective.
We entered the city just to lure Xu Rong and Duan Xuan out of the cave, so that we can annihilate them in one fell swoop."
"ah" After hearing this, Li Meng exclaimed with a look of astonishment on his face.
After a while, Li Meng asked: "Sir, what should we do if there is no rain?"
Fan Chou also stared at Li Ru with burning eyes.
The look in Li Ru's face seemed unsteady, and he was about to leave immediately and lead his troops back.
Because Li Ru's words were too unreliable, if the fire ignited but it didn't rain, they would definitely be burned completely by the fire.
By then, tens of thousands of soldiers would swarm towards the city gate, causing countless casualties, and Xu Rong would be able to just sit back and catch the fishermen. benefits.
Li Ru cupped his fists and said, "Two generals, Ru will guarantee it with his life.
It will definitely rain tonight, and heavy rain is already brewing.
Within an hour, there will be showers."
Fan Chou asked: "How did you know, sir?"
Li Meng thought for a while and then said: "Sir, let alone the help of ghosts and gods, Fan Chou and I don't believe this."
Li Ru flicked his sleeves and said with a smile: "The two generals underestimated Ru's ability.
He didn't talk about strange powers and confuse the gods.
Li Ru has never been involved in the affairs of ghosts and gods.
It rained heavily today and has nothing to do with ghosts and gods.
Ru has been observing the weather during this period, so he knows that there will be a shower tonight.
As a counselor, astronomy, geography, and military formations are all involved, so it is not surprising that he can deduce the time of rain. " Fan Chou and Li Meng looked at each other and said in unison: "Okay, let's have a big gamble with your husband."
Both of them were courageous people.
Seeing that Li Ru was sure, they immediately agreed.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu" In the night sky, a high-pitched horn sound suddenly came from outside the city.
After hearing this, Li Ru said: "Here we come."
Immediately, he said: "General, quickly gather all the soldiers in a spacious place to wait for orders.
After the fire breaks out, let the remaining soldiers endure it for a while, because the fire will not last forever.
After a while, there will be heavy rain, and then it will be a good opportunity for the army to rush in. " The two nodded and immediately went to assemble the army.
"boom" There was a muffled sound, and the county government was the first to light a fire.
The fire was very strong, and tung oil was poured into the house.
The fire burned instantly and was scorching.
When the fire broke out in the county government, fires broke out in many places in the city.
Fires burned everywhere, lighting up the dark night sky.
All the fires were connected together, and the temperature of the entire Xinfeng City quickly increased. .
In the silent night sky, the screams of the people kept coming.
Under the protection of several black warriors, Li Ru walked to the place where the soldiers were stationed.

Along the way, Li Ru saw people running out in embarrassment, or their bodies were on fire, and his heart felt extremely cold.
Xu Rong is such a cruel person.
In order to force the Xiliang army into a desperate situation, Xu Rong actually allowed thousands of people in the city to be buried with him, which was extremely poisonous.
The world said that he poisoned the emperor and helped Dong Zhuo fight against cholera, which was extremely cruel.
However, they did not know that Xu Rong made the people in Xinfeng City fall into a sea of fire and became even more vicious.
Li Ru shook his head and came to the place where the army was gathering.
All the soldiers gathered in an open space, because the open space was very wide and there were few houses around it, so it had not been affected by the fire.
However, this is only a short-term situation.
Once the fire spreads, the open space will not be immune.
Fortunately, Fan Chou and Li Meng held the line, and the army was not in chaos.
When the two of them saw Li Ru coming, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the city, Xu Rong led his troops to fight out and stationed troops outside.
The army formed a formation, and Xu Rong led an army of more than 7,000 people to stand outside the city, waiting for Fan Chou and Li Meng's army to escape.
If the soldiers left in the city were burned by the fire, they would definitely flee in confusion, so he could wait for work and kill the escaped soldiers in one fell swoop.
This kind of strategy is the real way of waiting for work.
The city was already ablaze with flames and turned red.
It is a pity that there are still no soldiers coming out from the city gate, and all the soldiers are still in the city.
Xu Rong looked at the empty door with a puzzled look on his face.
However, Xu Rong looked at Xinfeng City, which was half the sky red, with a smile on his face.
He was not in a hurry, because the longer the soldiers stayed in the city, the longer they would suffer.
All he had to do now was wait, quietly waiting for Fan Chou and Li Meng to escape in embarrassment with their army.
"Rumble"
Suddenly, thunder sounded in the dark sky.
A breeze blew by, and Xu Rong felt a chill on his face.
It was raining. s: Second update guaranteed, please collect and send flowers
