Chapter 302 The sudden change in the city
"Come here to help take a look!" Lin Bolan said angrily, without any strength at all, and deserves to be a coachman for the rest of his life.
The coachman held up the torch and walked into the car, put the torch near the box, and illuminated the lock clearly.
After wiping the sweat on his forehead, he finally opened the box. Lin Bolan directly opened the box cover.
"I'll go!" Lin Bolan was shocked by what he saw in front of him. It turned out to be a bright yellow Buddha statue. It was probably made of pure gold. He couldn't even guess the value of this thing.
Just as Lin Bolan was captured by the Buddha statue, the coachman pulled out a short blade from his cuff and stabbed Lin Bolan's neck mercilessly.
Without any resistance, the sharp blade easily cut off Lin Bolan's neck, and blood surged out, staining the Buddha statue in front of him into blood red.
Lin Bolan wanted to scream, but his trachea was broken and he could not make a sound. He could only slowly fall off in despair. As a general in the army, Lin Bolan was naturally the best-in-class martial arts, but now Japan has drunk too much, and was captured by the Buddha statue, which is easily defeated by the other party.
At the moment of death, Lin Bolan was thinking, Lao Xia was mistaken for me, this was a disaster. If I had known it was a disaster, I would not have been so careless.
The moment he succeeded, the coachman lit the curtain with the torch in his hand. Yao Peiyu, who was outside the car, stabbed the hairpin in his hand in the darkness and stabbed the horse's leg in the dark.
"No, it's on fire. General Lin, come down quickly!" Yao Peiyu shouted hurriedly. The horse was in pain and ran away.
The other four chariots, whether they were frightened or why, ran around in a row.
A group of personal guards followed the carriage, thinking that Lin Bolan was still trapped inside and wanted to rescue him. As for the guards who followed Yao Peiyu, they were hiding in the darkness and quietly touching the city gate.
"Silver, oh, my silver has fallen down." Hou Bingxian held up a torch and picked up a silver ingot from the ground, which was 50 taels, and wailed to the sky.
Fifty taels of silver ingots, shining everyone's heartstrings under the torch.
"Second, come down quickly, I picked one up, hurry up!" A guard under the city grabbed a torch and took a photo. Good guy, he really has silver. This ingot is about twenty taels, which is worth his military salary for two years. If he picked up a few silver ingots, who would still be the military salary for the soldiers? Going home to get married and have children is the king.
"Mr. Jun., this is all for the general to reward the army. Twenty thousand taels, so you can't lose them all." Hou Bingxian felt so distressed that he focused on extending the 20,000 taels, so that everyone must hear it.
When he heard that there were as much as 20,000 taels, the entire city gate guards began to get restless. They took out torches from the brazier and chased them along the route of escaping the carriage. As for defending the city, go to the damn thing, what can't you do if you have money?
Most of the defenders at the entire city gate scattered and took all the torches away. The city gate became dark.
"Mr. Hou, your acting skills are good!" Yao Peiyu's heart beat violently, so he was so nervous that he whispered to ease the atmosphere.
"I have time to say this, hurry up and do it!" Hou Bing hurriedly took people to the city gate, and there were still a few people who were in trouble here, so I solved them first.
"Mr. Hou, we really have fewer people." Yao Peiyu was so tired that his legs couldn't stand. This man surnamed Lin basically blocked the city gate to death. He had moved it for almost a quarter of an hour, but the door had not opened yet.
.
"Look soon, hurry up!" Hou Bing wiped his sweat first. He had known that the loyal and brave army outside the city had been allowed to climb the ladder, and there were not many guards on the top of the city.
In the darkness outside the city, Zheng Tu and three thousand elite soldiers lined up outside the military camp. He immediately launched a charge when the city gate opened.
"General Zheng, why is the city completely black? Even a torch disappeared?" Han Zaiwu looked surprised. He was invited by Zheng Tu to help. Once the city gate was opened, the cavalry would go first and occupy the city gate.
"I don't know, wait and see. If something happens, I will hang him on the flagpole and dry it." Zheng Tu looked back at Lao Tan and scared him.
"General Zheng, this cannot be done, it will definitely be opened." Old Tan was shocked. This was too cruel. I was just a errand to pass messages, and I didn't want to be made into bacon.
In the darkness, two torches suddenly appeared under the city gate, one forward and the other reversed, and circled.
"General Zheng, the door is open. The agreed secret code is fast!" When Lao Tan saw that it was the agreed secret code, he screamed in excitement.
"Brothers, rush!" Before Zheng Tu could speak, Han Zaiwu took the lead. He also wanted to experience the feeling of the Marquis sweeping across the world.
"Run!" Zheng Tu also rushed towards the city gate with his elite troops.
Zheng Tu rushed to the city gate with a spear in his arms. He was about to kill everyone, but he was squatting on the ground with his hands in his arms.
"Guard the city gate and wait for General Zheng to come!" Han Zaiwu felt very uncomfortable as if he had punched the cotton. However, on the battlefield, discipline was the first, so he could only order everyone to stop and guard the city gate.
"Quick! Quick!" Zheng Tu saw that there were no traps inside the city gate and immediately organized soldiers to climb to the top of the city. Originally, there were some scattered defenders at the top of the city. When they saw the enemy entering the city, they immediately scattered.
The people who were busy working after picking up silver behind the carriage suddenly found that the silver was getting less and less, and many people hid the silver and prepared to return to the city.
"Not good, it's dead." A scream suddenly came from the darkness.
When everyone heard this, they quickly ran to the place where the sound came. They saw a corpse lying inside in the stinky ditch beside the road, with a large piece of blood stain on their necks, which must have been dead.
"It's the general!" With the firelight, a sharp-eyed soldier recognized the body in the ditch, which was Lin Bolan who was on the carriage before.
The personal soldiers originally wanted to hold the carriage and rescue Lin Bailan, but the money along the way really made him unable to walk. Anyway, so many people were chasing him, and no one was missing. As a result, everyone thought so, but no one cared about Lin Bailan's life or death. Now he was killed and threw the body into a stinking ditch.
The killing of the main general is a great event. Everyone here has a responsibility. Everyone has a tacit understanding and flees with their heads down.
A team of cavalrymen walked in a stable rhythm in the dark, advancing slowly towards the county government in the city, followed closely by hundreds of elite boys.
"General Han, you're right in front of you, and you'll be here soon." Old Tan followed Han Zaiwu and pointed at the front and said. As for the county magistrate Yao Peiyu and county magistrate Hou Bingxian, he led his entourage to guide the soldiers and occupy all the key points in the city to prevent anyone from setting fire.
So many chaotic soldiers disappeared into the city, and I don’t know what kind of chaos it would cause. But now it is night. When the troops are sent to search, there will inevitably be great casualties and can only be left for dawn.
To ensure
For the safety of the county government and warehouse, Zheng Tu asked Han Zaiwu to take the cavalry and some elite infantry soldiers to station in the city first.
Now the guard Lin Bolan is dead and the city gate is lost. The soldiers who have obtained the money are scattered and ready to make a living. But soon they are desperate to find that even they have successfully reached the city wall.
Minqing City is different from other places. It is surrounded by water on three sides, and the city wall rises under the water. Only the south-facing side is left with a city gate for entry and exit.
"Brother, we can't go up to this city wall." The city was now brightly lit, and teams of soldiers with complete armor were stationed on it. A soldier from Zhangwu Army touched the silver in his pocket. Although the money was good, he had to spend his life.
"Xiao Lu, let's go west and swim out of the ditches." The other person was Dalu, the elder brother of this person. Both of them had just picked up a lot of silver. As long as they left this city, drilled into the mountains and took the limelight, they could live a good life.
When the Minqing County was built, a living water was introduced from the upper reaches of Meixi River to the west, and a bend was made in the Minqing City, dig a pond to store water, and then flowed into the lower reaches of the north to ensure the cleanliness of the water used in the city.
During construction, in order to take into account the convenience of dredging, the ditches were built for more than half a person in height, and they were locked with iron fences on weekdays. For the current plan, we can only open the iron fence and drill out of the ditches to get a way out.
The Lu brothers, based on their memories, avoided the enemy troops stationed along the way and actually arrived at the ditches smoothly.
"Brother, look!" Although I didn't dare to trunk, I could still see a pile of armor on the ground with the moonlight.
Dalu went over and saw that it was their Zhangwu Army's standard armor. Judging from the number of people on the ground, there were already many people running from this ditch, and this path would definitely be able to be completed.
The Lu brothers did not have armor, and that thing was only available to elites. They tied their trousers, pulled out their waist knives, slowly went into the water, and touched the ditch in their memory.
"Xiao Lu, come here." Da Lu growled excitedly. He found it. It was so dark that it was not easy to find it.
After the two brothers met, they took a deep breath and sank down.
The ditch had to cross the entire base of the city wall, with a width of about three meters. The two brothers were average in water. Finally, when they were about to die of suffocation, the bricks and stones on their heads were over.
"Suffer to death, I'm suffocating!" Xiao Lu breathed in fresh air in big mouthfuls, and finally escaped from the sky, feeling the pleasure of flying freely.
"Ah, I finally figured it out. I want to eat meat and I want to buy land, hahaha!" Dalu also recovered, wiped the water stains on his face, and brought the money out alive, and had a good life in the future.
"I said you two, come up quickly, the water is cold!" Hou Bing held up the torch, and saw the two brothers standing in the water and was stunned. He hurriedly urged, maybe someone would come out later and block the way.
"Why are you two, why are you standing there? Someone will come out later. If you are blocked and suffocated to death, who will be responsible? It's too inhumane." Hou Bingxian saw that the two of them were still unmoved, and immediately became angry, picked up the bamboo pole and stabbed it in.
"Are you the county magistrate?" The Lu brothers were confused. They had not figured out the situation yet. The bamboo pole was hurting when they stabbed it on their body, but they were forgotten.
