When Qingyu saw it, she couldn't help covering her mouth and asked, "Do you want the army to be ready?"

"That's natural. After I set off the fireworks, Sister Qingyu will issue an order to have the soldiers on duty fully armed and ready to deal with the enemy's counterattack!"

Xiao Hei pulled the iron bow into the shape of a full moon, set a talisman arrow and aimed at the sleeping Northern Qi camp.

He took a deep breath and said, "I didn't have to shoot this arrow, but it's rude to not reciprocate!"

Qingyu asked nervously: "Can you defeat the enemy with one arrow?"

Shaking his head, Xiao Hei replied in a deep voice: "No, I'm just consuming their fighting power and dragging out the final battle for the generals of Zhou Dynasty to face."

Qingyu nodded, looking at the lights in the distance that had not yet been extinguished.

She didn't know that these were soldiers from the Northern Qi Dynasty patrolling at night to guard against a night attack by soldiers from Dingzhou City.

Xiao Hei's spiritual consciousness is powerful, and he has clearly locked onto a certain place, and even has many traps already dug.

Qingyu looked at Xiao Hei's expression of neither sadness nor joy, and thought about the promise Xiao Hei finally made after the battle with the Northern Qi monk that day.

Unexpectedly, because Northern Qi's killers sneaked into Dingzhou City.

Like a reflection in the water, like a flying flower in the wind, it was shattered in the blink of an eye by the general of Northern Qi.

The stars are still bright in the sky, just like Qingyu said, how could there be a heavy rain in such a night sky? Unless the Imperial Master of Northern Qi is a god.

Qingyu followed Xiao Hei's example and bent the bow with her hands, muttering to herself: "I don't think I can shoot at Beiqi's camp!"

Xiao Hei didn't say a word, but gently loosened his fingers and let go of the bowstring that was buzzing.

"Buzz!" sounded in the night sky, and a bolt of lightning left the tower of Dingzhou City and flew into the vast night, towards the Beiqi camp several miles away.

Just as Qingyu let out a soft cry, there was a buzzing sound, and two more iron arrows were shot out, flying into the night sky.

Looking at the dozens of siege tanks that had just arrived from the Northern Qi Imperial City standing in the night, Xiao Hei said: "Now that you are here, don't even think about leaving."

After saying that, he quietly put away the bow and arrow in his hand and looked at a firework rising into the sky in the vast night.

He murmured to himself: "Monk, you can't blame me."

Before he finished speaking, an earth-shattering horn sound came from the distant night sky, followed by two more "Boom!" sounds.

Xiao Hei looked at Qing Yu's stunned look and said quietly: "Inform the soldiers on night duty to get fully equipped and go up to the city tower to prepare for the Northern Qi army's overnight counterattack."

Qingyu looked at the continuous fire that suddenly burned in the dark night, listened to the neighing of horses and the roar of people in the night, and opened her mouth.

In the end, he turned around and ran away.

After a while, groups of soldiers appeared on the Dingzhou City Tower.

Everyone looked at the blazing flames in the distance quietly. They were only deeply shocked, and no one cheered for a while.

Xiao Hei looked at Qing Yu who was in panic, shook his head and said: "No lights are allowed on the city wall. Let's just guard it quietly."

Qingyu nodded: "At dawn, we will rotate again. Maybe the Northern Qi army will take action tomorrow."

The consciousness released by Xiao Hei looked at the burning military camp, the siege chariots falling in the flames, and the Northern Qi soldiers beating the burning tents...

He shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

He didn't know if the three arrows he shot had set the Northern Qi army's food and grass on fire. If so, they might not be able to fight for ten days and a half.

The fire in the distance grew bigger and bigger, turning half of the night sky red before my eyes.

Even the city lord Chen Wendao rushed to the city tower after hearing the news. He looked at the Northern Qi camp in the distance and was speechless for a while.

Xiao Hei looked at the two of them and said, "I'm going back to sleep. Please arrange the soldiers on duty..."

After saying that, regardless of Chen Wendao's surprise, he walked towards the tower step by step with his little hands behind his back, and soon disappeared into the vast night.

For the Northern Qi army, there was no need to sneak into Dingzhou City to assassinate.

As long as we attack in an upright manner, we may not be unable to capture Dingzhou City.

But because the general was eager to win, he tore up the agreement between Xiao Hei, Dao Chi and Shang Ding.

Although Xiao Hei used the magic talismans to dig countless traps in the wasteland before the Northern Qi army arrived outside Dingzhou City, he could never find a reason to use them.

When the Northern Qi army did not pay attention to Dingzhou City and did not take the assassination seriously, Xiao Hei found a reason for himself to take action.

Standing at the top of Dingzhou City, Qingyu felt very helpless.

If she had been replaced by General Yu Wenxian, who was about to come for reinforcements, it is very likely that she would not be able to do this.

Because their knowledge only includes weapons, armor, and siege chariots.

Only Qing Yu had seen that earth-shattering scene outside Danzhou City. Who would have thought that the three arrows shot by Xiao Hei would be so powerful.

And Xiao Hei has not explained it to her until now, and will not explain it to her in the future.

Only the city lord Chen Wendao was the happiest. While commanding the soldiers who were keeping watch at night to set up defenses on the city wall, he looked at Qingyu and asked, "Is this Xiao Hei's method?"

Qingyu smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know either... Please, City Lord, please keep watch here. I have to go to rest. Let me be on duty tomorrow."

The flames in the distance were still burning, but no horn of attack sounded. I guess the Northern Qi army would only be minding their own business first.

Chen Wendao nodded: "I can't be of much help. It won't be a problem to stay on duty all night."

Qingyu waved her hand, looked at the fire reflecting the sky in the distance, sighed softly, and walked down the tower.

Northern Qi camp.

The generals, the vanguard generals, and several generals from the imperial city who were awakened by the raging fire gathered together.

Several generals were busy directing their men to put out the fire and save supplies, but the general was dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him.

He even had no strength left to yell.

With a sigh, General Gao Hu understood that after this defeat, the morale of the Northern Qi army would definitely fall to the lowest point.

Defeat is not terrible; what is terrible is repeated defeats.

Since the Northern Qi army fought against the defenders of Dingzhou City in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they have never won and have been losing.

First, the monk from Jinxiang Temple had a draw with the young monk from Northern Qi.

Later, the Northern Qi army failed to attack the city, and then a fire dragon in front of the moat destroyed all the Northern Qi siege chariots. Later, even the killers lurking in Dingzhou City were wiped out.

This time, even the siege chariot that had just arrived from the imperial city was destroyed in a sudden fire.

The soldiers of Northern Qi would inevitably have a misconception. Could it be that Northern Qi really couldn't defeat the soldiers of Zhou?

Can Northern Qi not defeat Zhou Dynasty? If this sentiment continues to spread, the consequences will be disastrous.

Before the war started, the generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty had already endured the fire in Danzhou City and arrived in front of Dingzhou City.

It's just that absolutely no one among them believed that they would reenact the fire outside Danzhou City in front of Dingzhou City. This really made the scars forget the pain.

It was just a fire tonight that once again awakened the memories of the Northern Qi army in the past, and even the pioneer general Huangfu Wuque looked up to the sky and roared wildly.

The general was even more speechless. He had already expected something big to happen.

The manpower patrolling at night has also been strengthened, but it still failed to block the arrow coming out of thin air from Dingzhou City.

In the opinion of the general, is it possible that God really wants to destroy Northern Qi?

It's just that the Northern Qi army has ignored the fact that in this offensive and defensive battle, the Northern Qi army has done very well.

Except for the initial fire in Dingzhou City, which caused heavy casualties.

In the upcoming siege battle, even if there is no powerful siege vehicle, it still has strong combat effectiveness.

Just because he didn't want to die, the general went to get into trouble with Xiao Hei in Dingzhou City.

He was so immortal that he didn't even want to let go of the two little girls.

The two sisters are Xiao Hei's reverse scales, and they will die if they touch them.

The reason why he endured it for so many days without reporting back the next day was to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Northern Qi Dynasty. The more people there were and the more food and grass, the better for Xiao Hei.

He didn't even need to explain to anyone. He just wanted to wait for reinforcements from Da Zhou to arrive in a few days, and he would take his sister and leave here.

If the Northern Qi generals had not come to Yin, Northern Qi would have an overwhelming advantage, and the city would be broken sooner or later, and no one would be able to stop it.

It's just that this guy pissed off Xiao Hei, who shouldn't be in this world.

Xiao Hei himself does not care about the outcome of the battle between the two countries. What he cares about is the safety of his two sisters.

Xiao Hei learned his brother's mantra: "The burning mountain on the other side has nothing to do with me?"

That night, most of the siege chariots and grain and grass transported from the Imperial City of Northern Qi were lost, and almost all the siege chariots were destroyed in a fire.

Before Dingzhou City was conquered, the morale of the Northern Qi army was severely damaged.

That night, the Northern Qi army was busy all night, until a white light appeared on the horizon, and the flames of the camp gradually extinguished.

After some cleaning up, General Gao Hu ordered the army to retreat another ten miles, far away from the sight of the Dingzhou City army.



After resting for a few hours, Qingyu came to the Dingzhou City Tower.

Looking at the Northern Qi army evacuating into the distance, the city lord Chen Wendao stood aside without saying a word.

The soldiers of Datong did not expect that just a sudden fire would force the general of Northern Qi to evacuate the entire camp, and they could no longer see each other's camp from far away.

Not long ago, who would dare to defeat the powerful Northern Qi army easily, but today it seems that it is no more than that.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to fight today." Qingyu sighed softly and said quietly.

Now that the Northern Qi style camp has withdrawn from Dingzhou City, it is impossible to set up the camp again without three or five days. After all, this is an army of hundreds of thousands, which is not a small number.

Chen Wendao looked at the scene in front of him and said slowly: "General, let's go back. There are soldiers on duty here. If there is a war, they will report to the city lord's mansion."

Hearing this, Qingyu sighed silently in her heart, stopped talking, turned around and headed down the tower.

Chen Wendao followed her, thought for a while and asked: "The general of the Imperial City should be arriving in Dingzhou City in the next few days, right?"

"Well! I will be returning to the imperial city soon."

Qingyu replied softly, in her opinion, when the summer rain comes, she has completed her mission and will hand over the general's seal to General Yuwen from the imperial city.

Just as Xiao Hei said, her path is not in the palace either.

After fulfilling her wish, she will also follow her master, the old Taoist priest, to practice. Xiao Hei has shown her the hope of immortality, so naturally there is no reason to give up.

The Lord City Lord who was following her smiled and said, "I have to celebrate today. I'll go back and prepare a few dishes and have a drink with Xiao Hei at noon."

Qingyu smiled lightly when he heard this and said, "I haven't seen him drinking for several days."

The Lord City Lord sighed and said seriously: "When the general returns to the imperial city, he has to plead for Xiao Hei in front of the emperor."

Qingyu shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "He doesn't want the reward from the empress."

When the Lord City Lord heard this, he was stunned and speechless for a moment.

When the two of them entered the city lord's mansion and arrived at the small courtyard where Xiao Hei and the other two were, they found that the place was already empty.

Qingyu frowned, looked at the maid who was cleaning and asked, "Where are the two little girls? Where have they gone?"

The maid replied: "Xiao Hei took them to the inn, saying that he wanted to give the courtyard to General Yuwen who came from the imperial city."
