The moon is dark and the wind is high, and kill people and set fire to the sky.

This day happened to be a whistling wind, and no one was seen on the streets of Chengdu City.

Even the officials who fought against the government stopped going out to the streets and hurried at home to sleep.

At this time, no one would notice that dozens of monks suddenly emerged from the City God Temple, which had been abandoned for many years.

These monks looked around and looked around, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed between their eyebrows, and there was no kindness that monks should have.

After a while, they left in all directions, some rushed to the granary in the city, and some went to the city gates.

They took out the guys they had prepared and lit the torches and set fires everywhere.

It was midnight at this time, and no one noticed it at first. It was not until a raging fire that soldiers reacted and came to check it out.

And these monks still wandered around the city and lit fires from time to time.

In less than half an hour, nearly half of the city in Chengdu was already lit up, just like daylight.

"The Tartars have entered the city, and the Tartars have entered the city. Neighbors and neighbors are running for their lives!"

These monks shouted at the top of their voices while running away.

Many ordinary people who were still sleeping woke up and pulled their heads out.

The Tartars are here? Where are they?

Although most of them have never seen the Tartars, they have heard about the Tartars' cruelty from their relatives and friends.

I heard that in Shaanxi, after the Tartars broke the city, they began to massacre, and even babies, pregnant women and the elderly were not spared.

These Tartars were inhumane and only had killing in their eyes. Anyone who was targeted by them would have no chance of survival.

Therefore, adults often use Tartars to scare their disobedient children, which is actually very effective.

As soon as the Tartars are mentioned, even the most disobedient children will be frightened and stop crying and shrink into a ball.

But that is just a means for adults to teach their children a lesson. No matter how much the Tartars are, they are far away.

But judging from today's situation, it seems that the Tartars have really entered the city.

Otherwise, how can the blazing flames in the city be explained?

Could it be that it was burned by itself?

Of course this is impossible, the only explanation is that the Tartars really entered the city.

Oh my god!

The people in the city really feel like the sky is falling and the earth is sinking.

Isn’t the Daxi Army in the city 70,000 to 80,000? Why can’t even defend a city?

These Qiu Bas are showing off their power in front of others on weekdays, so why do they all become grandsons when they need them?

The common people greeted the ancestors of the Western Army soldiers in their hearts for the 18th generation, and after relieving their anger, they still had to face the reality.

Escape, and escape quickly while the Tartars have not completely controlled the whole city.

These eight Western Army Qiumen can withstand some time even if they are not good enough?

As long as you can withstand it for a while.

Although there is a curfew in the city, it is usually the case.

For the sake of life, the people had to choose to obey the curfew. When the evening drum sounded, they closed the door and stopped going out to the streets.

But now is an extraordinary period. The Tartars have already attacked the city, so what's the damn ban?

Will it be banned to your own way out?

At this time, you have to escape in the chaos.

At this moment, the people in Chengdu fully demonstrated the selfishness of human nature. They hurriedly brought the soft and soft to the market, pushing me and squeezing you, just to take the lead.

In their opinion, even if the Tartars kill people, they cannot be completed in an instant. There must be a process.

They don't have to run faster than the Tartars, they just run faster than neighbors.

The whole Chengdu city was in chaos, and such a big disturbance certainly alarmed Zhang Kewang.

He has been worried all these days, and he has not had a good sleep at all, so he has no need to sleep at all when he gets better.

After putting on his outer shirt, Zhang Kewang put on his armor and walked out of the palace surrounded by his own soldiers.

After learning about the matter, Zhang Kewang was sure that someone must have fanned the flames in the dark to cause trouble.

The Qing army had not yet attacked the city, so these people were impatient to set fire in the city. Their purpose was naturally to create chaos and try to catch fish in troubled waters.

On the one hand, Zhang Kewang sent troops to major markets to maintain order in the streets, and on the other hand, he personally climbed the city wall to inspect.

Climbing up to see the distance can bring you all the scenery in the city and also help Zhang Kewang make further decisions.

But when he climbed to the top of the city, he almost fell off his chin.

I saw that the city of Chengdu was filled with black troops, holding torches in their hands like fire dragons.

What's even more terrifying is that the ladder has been leaning against the city wall, and many Qing soldiers are already climbing towards the city.

Zhang Kewang was shocked and angry. Are these sentries a good meal?

Of course, now is not the time to hold people accountable in a furious manner. The most urgent task is to mobilize personnel to defend.

If the Qing army was allowed to attack the city, Zhang Kewang would not think he had much chance of winning.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers in the military camp had woken up and were rushing towards the city wall.

Zhang Kewang personally directed the soldiers and ordered the soldiers to roll the wood and smash the stone downwards.

It is obviously too late to burn the boiling oil now.

The Qing army's offensive must be delayed in the simplest way.

Now Zhang Kewang felt more and more that the sudden fire in the city was premeditated, and the purpose was to cooperate with the Qing army to attack the city.

This shows that there are Qing army's internal supporters in Chengdu.

It's really damn. Didn't he order people to strictly screen people into the city? Why did this happen?

Zhang Kewang felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

What about Zhang Dingguo? Why haven’t Zhang Dingguo come back yet?

Is it really God going to kill me?

Zhang Kewang was unwilling to accept that he was unwilling to die here!

He drew his sword and unshelf to cheer the soldiers up personally.

"The Tartars knew that they had no chance of winning in the daytime attack, so they launched a night attack. This proves that they were feeling guilty. The sons of our Great Western Army have no cowards, so I will fight side by side with you here!"

Zhang Kewang knew very well that this battle determined the fate of the Western Army.

If he wins the Daxi Army, he can still get a chance to breathe. If he loses, not to mention that he, the Daxi Emperor, will find it difficult to survive, even this Daxi Army will probably no longer exist.

As for the people in Chengdu, the people will naturally become the targets of slaughter for the Tartars to vent their anger.

Of course, Zhang Kewang cares about himself more than the people.

If there is an opportunity before him and he is allowed to exchange the lives and deaths of the people in the city for his life and death, he will definitely do it without hesitation.

Unfortunately, he knew very well that there would be no such good things for him to choose from.

On the other hand, the people in the city are still beneficial to him.

These people cannot fight, but it is still possible to assist in transporting some materials and equipment to defend the city.

Zhang Kewang calmed down and ordered people to appease the panicked people, and then elected young and strong people to climb to the top of the city to help defend the city.
