When the group entered the city, they found a carriage and horse shop nearby to stay. The salt road was also marked so that others could find them. Then everyone rested quietly and waited for the evening to take the gates.

Niu Bajin didn't live long after they lived in the cart shop, and before dinner, the others also followed the marks they left behind, and came to the carriage and horse shop one after another.

Carriage and horse shops like this are specially prepared for people who have no money to go out, and the price is quite low. However, it is still much higher than the cost of carriage and horse shops outside the city. But at least the security is guaranteed. It's just that the people in the carriage and horse shop don't know that a group of killing gods live in their store today!

In the middle of the night, Niu Bajin pretended to be night and went around the yard. Make sure the owner and guys are asleep and the yard is very quiet. He leaned against the wall for a few more moments, and it was just as quiet outside. It seems that years of peaceful life have completely made the people in this city completely lose their vigilance.

Niu Bajin returned to the middle of the yard and grabbed a handful of sand and sprinkled it on the window. This method is the safest! Shouting people to speak, it is easy to be heard. Throwing a handful of sand on the window paper will only make a dense rustling sound that will not attract attention at all. And the people in the room who had been prepared knew they had received the signal.

Soon, a group of rebel soldiers who had been prepared quietly walked into the courtyard and filled the large courtyard.

Niu Bajin pointed to the cart, and immediately a few people went over to remove the grain bags on the cart, and opened the mezzanine of several carts to reveal weapons. Everyone quietly distributed their weapons. Just wait for Niu Bajin to give the order.

Niu Bajin nodded to Niu Mangu, Niu Mangu excitedly said that he understood, and casually ordered five people to open the courtyard door and walk out. A few of them were the spearheads of the whole team, and they were responsible for finding out the situation on the road ahead, so as to lure everyone around.

Because the officials and soldiers were too lax, and Niu Mangu was also very attentive, a group of people smoothly touched the edge of the city gate. Niu Bajin waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse, and the others hid lightly in the dark, leaving Niu Bajin alone with his ears pricked up to listen to the sound of bangzi in the distance.

After waiting for a long time, the sound of bangzi finally changed, midnight

It's time to get started!

Niu Bajin beckoned around, and the crowd gathered on the street again from the darkness, following Niu Bajin to the sentry card in front of the city gate.

Walking to the sentry post, Niu Bajin waved his hand to stop everyone, stepped forward and licked the window paper to take a closer look inside, turned around and stretched out four fingers, which meant that there were four people inside.

Niu Mangu nodded and led the people to the door. When he turned around, he saw that several people had raised their weapons, so he turned around and kicked open the door and rushed in! The five men who followed him also followed quickly. Then I heard the sound of a blade entering the flesh and a few low grunts!

Then Niu Man walked out covered in blood, and nodded to indicate that all four people in the checkpoint were dead. The man who came out from behind also carried a dozen long guns. It was found at the checkpoint.

Niu Bajin glanced at the city tower, he knew that there should be Ming soldiers on the city tower, but he only had so many dozens of people in his hands, he was not sure how many Ming soldiers there were, so he didn't dare to take the risk.

In the end, Niu Bajin decided to open the city gate first. After making up his mind, Niu Bajin distributed the spear to his men. The spear is the most suitable weapon for both defense and offense! As long as the pikemen gather side by side and form a gun formation, even the cavalry will not be able to rush hard.

Everyone walked quickly into the city gate hole, Niu Bajin whispered to the man with the spear to set up a gun array at the entrance of the city gate, and the others were ready to fight, because he was going to lead people to open the city gate.

The gate pole with a thick human head was lifted down, and several people pushed the gate together. The old doorway made a terrible "creaking" sound, and it was carried very far in the night!

Niu Bajin knew that this was not the time to be cautious, so he drank directly and ordered them to push the door with the greatest strength. Squeezing through makes the "squeak" sound even louder! Definitely wake up some alert people.

The city gate was wide open, and Niu Bajin had already lit a torch and shook it in the air. This is the signal that he and Li Zicheng have made an appointment with them. Li Zicheng: When they saw the shaking torch, they would rush over as fast as they could.

But Niu Bajin shook the torch for a long time, but there was no movement outside. But there was a voice from the castle tower.

After all, the sound of opening the city gates

It's just too big! And the soldiers were familiar with the sound of the gates opening. So they knew right away that someone was opening the gates in the middle of the night. Those who were awakened immediately began to wake up the other soldiers who were still asleep.

As a rule, no one is allowed to open the gates at night. It's an iron law. But the gates creaked open, which can only mean one thing, that is, something happened!

However, those Ming soldiers didn't expect that someone was going to steal the city, and they felt that the biggest possibility was that someone had gone out of the city on orders from above, so the people at the checkpoint below opened the city gate. But they also knew that whether it was anyone who went out of the city or entered the city at this time, they had to check it out, otherwise they would be the ones who were unlucky the next day.

There were more soldiers stationed in the tower, and dozens of people hurried down the road. The officer at the head sniffed hard as he passed by the checkpoint, and immediately shouted loudly: "Something is wrong! Copy guys! ”

He shouted because the smell of blood coming from the outpost alerted him. With his shout, the soldiers' attention began to focus. At this time, they also saw the city gate that was open not far away, and the reflection of the shadowy figures and weapons in the city gate.

Now that officer understands everything! It's not that anyone is in a hurry to get out of the city, it's that the rogue has come to steal the city! The officer shouted, "It's a rogue! The gates must be recaptured! Otherwise, we'll all die!" ”

As he spoke, the officer drew his sword and led the soldiers towards the city gate. The other soldiers were stunned for a moment, although their confused minds did not fully understand what the officer meant, but they still subconsciously rushed over with the officer.

After the Ming army rushed over, the first thing they faced was a gun formation composed of more than a dozen spears. However, the main weapon of the Ming army here is also a spear. Therefore, the Ming army also quickly formed a gun array under the order of the officer. After the two sides met, they stabbed each other falsely and intimidated each other, but they did not cause any damage.

The reason is very simple, Niu Bajin didn't think about fighting at all, he just wanted to delay for a while! As long as you wait for the arrival of the old battalion horse team in the back, the first merit of breaking the city will naturally be in hand at that time, so why bother to fight for it at this time!
