However, when he saw the last commoner, Mu Guilong's eyes lit up, because he saw from the man's walking and standing posture that this man was definitely a soldier, or had been a soldier, such a person should be more clear about the situation in Lieyan City.

"It seems that you should have joined the army?" Mu Guilong asked at the person with special temperament in front of him.

"Yes, sir, I used to be a soldier in the Zhenxi Army under Mr. Xiao." When the man heard this, he knelt down and said, "But since Xiao Tianci defeated Mr. Xiao, my team has been disbanded. I secretly escaped from the battlefield, took off my battle robe, and became a commoner."

"Oh, it seems you hate Xiao Tianci a little?" Mu Guilong paid attention to his expression and movements, guessing that what he said was somewhat credible.

"Good sir." The man looked up at Mu Guilong, hesitated for a moment and replied: "Sir, I know you are here to attack Xiao Tianci. Xiao Tianci not only ruthlessly killed Mr. Xiao, but what's more hateful is that he also killed all the brothers in our team. I am incompetent and can't avenge the brothers. But now you have been calling me, I'm happy from the bottom of my heart. I'm dreaming of seeing Xiao Tianci die."

Mu Guilong glanced at him expressionlessly, and did not make any statement about his words. Instead, he asked directly: "So are you familiar with the situation in this Flame City? The guards? The garrison? The geographical situation, etc.? I want to know all aspects of the situation."

"Of course I am familiar with it. I used to be the garrison of this Flame City." The man nodded repeatedly. "Sir, the garrison of this Flame City is now called Pang De, who is above the innate power. There is also an army of 40,000 people under his command. This Flame City is a big city. When the city was built, the city wall was directly built to three or eight feet high and one or two feet wide. The city gate was filled with iron weighing 8,000 kilograms of iron."

"So, this Flame City is solid and cannot be captured at all?" Mu Guilong heard this, his mouth twitched slightly twice, and his eyes asked with a burning look.

"Sir, it's actually not impossible to break this city." The man raised his head, a trace of struggle flashed across his face, and finally said hesitantly.

"Really? Do you have any way to break the city?" Mu Guilong was startled and asked quickly.

"It's not a solution. I just know something, which may be useful for capturing this city." The man shook his head and said, "I can tell you about this matter. After all, I also hope that you can destroy Xiao Tianci. But the young man said that there is a condition before, and I hope that you can agree. Otherwise, even if you kill me, I won't say it."

"Do you want money? Don't worry, as long as the information you mentioned is useful to us. I will definitely give you rewards." Mi Guilong chuckled and said lightly.

"No." Unexpectedly, this man shook his head and said, "I just hope that you, sir, can treat the people in the city after you attack the Flame City. After all, the young ones were born and raised in this Flame City. I really don't want to see the villagers fall into displaced again."

After hearing his words, Mu Guilong was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that the deserter would say such words, but that was true. He believed this person's words a little more. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Haha, I didn't expect that you still have this idea. It's good. Don't worry, even if we conquer this city, the people in these cities will become our people in the future. We have always treated our people very favorably."

"Okay, I believe you, sir." The man nodded and then told the situation of the river in the city.

"Are you sure what you said is true?" After hearing his words, Mu Guilong was both surprised and happy.

"Of course, I promise it is absolutely true. When I was stationed in this Flame City, our general had planned to block the gap under the river, but later it was left unresolved because of the city lord's opposition, so the young man knew about this." The man definitely answered extremely.

"Okay, I believe this for the time being. But are you willing to take our people to the entrance to check it out?" Mu Guilong's face was gloomy and sunny for a moment, then spoke.

"Of course this is OK. When will the adults want to go?"

"Just tonight, just to take advantage of the night, the people in the Flame City should be unable to find us."

"Then please follow me."

With a small team of soldiers, led by this man, Mu Guilong quietly touched the west side of the city near the mountainside. There was indeed a small river flowing here. He ordered two soldiers with good water to dive. After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the two soldiers swam back and confirmed what the man said. The river really led to the city, and the enemy generals didn't seem to care. There was no defense there. Mu Guilong was immediately overjoyed, rewarded some gold coins to the deserter, and hurriedly took the news back and told Xinghe Jingchou.

Xinghe Jingchou was also very happy, so he quickly summoned his generals to discuss it, and finally made a plan to siege the city, and decided to implement it in the middle of the night tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Prince Jingchou ordered the troops to launch another siege, but this time the siege was just a try. After all, they did not prepare a large amount of siege equipment. He just didn't give up and wanted to attack again. As a result, in the siege battle in the morning, the soldiers who were commanding Pang De to guard the city were suppressed tightly under the city wall. Under the attack of various arrows, oil and stones, Prince Jingchou's soldiers did not climb up the city wall at all. Finally, they threw thousands of corpses and retreated in a mess.

"A futile attack." Xiao Tianci stood on the city wall and looked at the enemy soldiers who had retreated again. He snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Pang De and asked, "Ling Ming is ready to be safe, right? It seems that they will definitely attack from the water tonight."

"Don't worry, lord, that's it. The people in the west of the city have moved out. There has been a net of heaven and earth, waiting for the enemy to take the bait." Pang De bowed and returned.

"Okay, Ling Ming, please assign tasks. Let's guard one of the two locations at the top of the city and the west of the city tonight." Xiao Tianci nodded and continued.

"Lord, why not go up to the city wall. The city wall is safer. The west side of the city should be the focus of the enemy's main attack tonight." Pang De thought for a while and replied.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. I'll guard the city wall tonight." Xiao Tianci smiled and responded directly.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was light. A team of about 30,000 people appeared quietly outside the west of the city while touching the darkness. Mu Guilong looked back at the long team. These people were all elites selected from the 400,000 army, and they all had good water characteristics. Tonight he will lead these people to sneak into the city and cooperate with the outside army to win the Flame City in one fell swoop. Mu Guilong is very confident about this plan, and believes that he will definitely complete this task without knowing it.

Mu Guilong waved his hand gently. The 30,000 people were wearing leather armor and tied their weapons to their backs. They all held long swords. After all, they had to go into the water, so they would definitely be inconvenient to use long weapons, so they chose long swords. After receiving the order, they went into the water and sneaked in batches towards the direction of the Flame City.

At this moment, the west of Lieyang City was pitch black. Occasionally, a small team of patrol soldiers passed by, making rustling footsteps, which seemed particularly harsh on the cold night.

There were a thousand people in the first group of infiltrated. After they quietly got ashore, they each quickly found a favorable position to defend, and at the same time met the team coming up. Mu Guilong came up with the second group of people. After he came up, he directly used his skills to steam the wet clothes on his body, then looked at the city and whispered: "Note, after the enemy's patrol team came over, they would be eliminated directly and no one should be let go."

"Yes." The two thousand people who came up responded in a low voice. The first person who came up did not carry a sword, but carried a crossbow on his back. After hearing the order, these people directly took the crossbow into their hands, put the crossbow arrows on and pulled the bowstrings, and directly aimed the crossbow arrows at the direction the patrol team was walking in the darkness.

The reason why Mu Guilong brought so many people in this time was because they knew that the guards of the Flame City at the gate must have arranged heavy troops. If the people coming in were too few, even if they attacked, they would definitely not be able to open the gate. After learning from the deserter that there were 40,000 people in the Flame City, they measured it and decided to send 30,000 people in. At that time, with the cooperation of the army outside, they should be able to take down the city gate.

At this time, another team of patrol soldiers came over, with about ten people. One person was carrying a lantern, and the faint light could only illuminate a few meters in front of them.

Mu Guilong narrowed his eyes and watched these people walk in. After waved his hand, the people who were ambushing him instantly shot out the crossbow arrows in their hands. Suddenly, hundreds of crossbow arrows cut through the sound of the wind and shot the ten patrol soldiers into hedgehogs. Just when they attacked these patrol soldiers, they did not notice that on the roofs around them, pairs of angry eyes were staring at them straight.

"General, do you do it?" A messenger lying beside Pang De asked with his fists tightly clenched and gritted his teeth.

"Wait a little longer, wait until the enemy comes over."

Pang De was ambushed on the tallest roof and watched his soldiers be shot and killed by the enemy. Of course, he was angry and heartbroken, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still endured it.

At this time, a shocking shout of killing came from the east of the city. It seemed that Prince Jingchou was also leading the army to start siege the city. (To be continued...)
