The Cold Door Hero

Summary

At the first watch of the night, ten shadowy figures, led by Yan Qing’s deputy Yang Guang, stealthily approached the city walls to execute a plan to ignite the Liyang granary. Yan Qing reported difficulties due to heavy guard presence at the city bridge, which was essential for their operation. After discussing their options, Yan Qing decided to attempt to ignite the granary using fire crows and oil. Meanwhile, Wang Gui and Niu Gao, leading three thousand cavalry, were focused on capturing the granary, which was heavily guarded. Wang Gui aimed to create chaos by igniting the granary, hoping to annihilate the Jin troops. As Yan Qing stealthily maneuvered across the city bridge, he successfully eliminated two Jin soldiers but was soon discovered. He ignited the fodder with oil, causing a massive fire that spread quickly. Amidst the chaos, Yang Guang detonated explosives on the city bridge, causing it to collapse and further disorienting the Jin soldiers. As the fire raged and soldiers fled, Yan Qing escaped into the moat, while Wang Gui commanded his cavalry to charge at the panicked Jin soldiers, aiming to take advantage of the chaos.
