Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Soon it was time to start the day, and finally saw the south wind blowing, probably in the evening the wind was stronger, blowing loudly.

"Old man, will the wind be as strong tonight as it is now?"

Li Yi'an invited the old man to the barracks again, this kind of thing can't be done casually, it needs to be confirmed many times.

The most authoritative person in this regard is the old man.

"This kind of strong wind can blow all night, general, don't worry."

The old man already knew what Li Yi'an was going to do, and he assured him: "I have blown the south wind here for decades, no one knows better than me."

People in ancient times did not have so many things to detect the weather as later generations. They would remember some natural phenomena that often occurred, such as when and what wind would blow.

"Everything is ready, and the action will probably be on the second watch tonight."

Li Yi'an passed on the order.

On the wharf next to the military camp, there were more than 30 boats, all of which were covered with dry straw, with gunpowder underneath, leaving only a narrow place for people to stand and punting.

Xue Li wore tight-fitting clothes, and soaked them in the water in advance to familiarize themselves with the temperature of the water. It would be more convenient to use their hands later. In addition, they each carried two airbags, all of which were sewn with sheepskin. The inflatable kind.

Su Lie also gathered his soldiers and horses, ready to go north at any time.

Soon at the second watch, Li Yi'an made a move, and everyone started to do it.

The people on the land went into the woods first, and made a detour to the wilderness in front of the water village. Su Lie first settled down, and Li Yi'an and the others on the east and west sides started to guard and watch. After everything was done, they waited for Xue Li to get well. information.

The boats of Xue Li and others set up their sails and rushed towards the water village smoothly. They didn't light their lights, because there were lights in the direction of the water village, and it was enough to go towards the light.

Because the south wind was strong and howling, they quickly came to the outermost edge of the water village.

At this time, there were still no sleepy people on the water village. They seemed to have discovered something. When they looked down from above, they suddenly saw many boats approaching, and they shouted. They shouted in the local dialect.

Xue Li couldn't understand those words, so he just shouted loudly: "Light on the fire, then jump off the boat!"

Soldiers on more than 30 ships simultaneously took out torches to light the dry grass, and then jumped into the water.

The unmanned boat suddenly caught fire, illuminating a small piece of darkness, but it also attracted more people's attention. Many people in the water village shouted, and before they had time to react, the boat hit the water along the wind stronghold.

Even though the boat was not manned, under the howling south wind, it still slammed into the water village at a high speed.

The first thing that hit it was the ship docked beside the water village, and then the gunpowder hidden under the dry grass happened to be ignited.

boom!

The fire became more intense, and there was even a low-pitched explosion sound, and with the wind blowing, the flames rolled towards the bamboo-built house on the water village.

Dry bamboo is easy to ignite, and with the help of strong winds, it is even more out of control.

"On fire...the enemy is coming..."

The rebels on the water village shouted and made a mess.

The fire boiled the bamboo, and there was a continuous "cracking" sound from the bamboo joints, which almost covered their shouting. They were concerned about fleeing, but ignored Xue Li and others in the water.

"Really spectacular!"

Xue Li floated on the surface of the water, looked at the raging flames on the water village, and shouted excitedly.

"General, let's go back as soon as possible!"

At this time, a villager swam over to remind him.

He was invited by Li Yi'an to lead Xue Li and others back in the water. Because the boat was burned, they didn't have any light source in the water, so they could only rely on the locals to lead the way.

"go back!"

Xue Li shouted, he cannot stay here.

Everyone hugged their airbags and kept swimming against the south wind.

"What happened!"

Rondo was woken up from his sleep, and felt the heat wave when he went out, even in winter, it was uncomfortably hot.

"Leader, let's go! Li Yi'an burned our water village!"

A minion ran over and said.

Rondo was completely awake from sleepiness, and looked back at the back of the water village, and sure enough, he saw a raging fire, and the sea of ​​flames was spreading rapidly, engulfing all the houses.

He hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Run, run!"

He didn't expect Li Yi'an to be so cunning, to use fire to attack when the south wind blows, this is the rhythm that will make him desperate.

A group of rebels rushed out of the water village quickly, and before they could go far, a row of crossbow arrows suddenly shot in front of them.

The fastest running rebel fell down in a large piece, howling again and again.

"Chief, there is still an ambush here!"

Someone yelled.

Rondo realized that he was too flustered just now and ignored one point, that is, Li Yi'an was going to burn his water village, so how could he have no other preparations outside, there must be an ambush.

"Protect me, all around to protect me!"

He yelled.

Only those who are close to him will surround him to protect him, and the other rebels run faster than anyone else.

Su Lie used the crossbow arrows to consume the enemy first, and also disrupted the enemy, and then led his troops to fight out. He saw Rondo at a glance and killed him directly.

The people around Rondo tried their best to protect him, and they all stood in front of Su Lie.

The two sides fought for a while, Li Yi'an and the others saw that no one could escape, so they surrounded and gathered from the east and west sides.

The three of them met together, basically pressing Rondo and other rebels to the ground to fight.

"Old thief Rondo, let me see where you can escape!"

Cheng Chumo finally got to Rondo's side.

The other party saw him wielding a scimitar and wanted to resist, but Cheng Chumo chopped off the knife and kicked him in the abdomen. If the husband hadn't said that he would capture him alive as much as he could, Rondo was already dead.

boom!

Rondo fell to the ground, and before he could react, Li Dejian also squeezed over and stepped on Rondo's chest, causing him to vomit blood in pain.

"Old thief Rondo, you never thought you would be here today, right?"

Li Dejian shouted: "Tie it up!"

Several soldiers immediately caught Rondo, tied him up first, and then sent him out.

Seeing that their leader was gone, those rebels resisted a hammer. It was impossible to turn back, because the water village was engulfed by the fire, and they all rushed outside.

Su Lie and the others didn't want to let these traitors go, as long as they could be killed, they would all be killed, and no one would be left behind as much as possible.

The battle lasted until the middle of the night, and it was finally over. The outside of the water village returned to calm, and the water village turned into a pile of coke, with occasional flames still beating.

"go back!"

Li Yian shouted loudly.

"go back!"

Yuchi Baolin and the others responded in unison, indescribably excited.

When we got back to the barracks, it was almost dawn.

Xue Li and the others came back a long time ago, and the injured eldest Sun Chong also got up and waited outside the barracks. The moment they saw Rondo, they cheered in unison.

Rondo stared at all this with wide eyes, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

A few days ago, I was still fantasizing about laying down a city to garrison and stalemate with Li Yi'an to the end, but I didn't expect that the city was not taken down, and he was captured by Li Yi'an first.
