XVIII. Night
Night, quiet.
The curfew and the state city are silent.
The soldiers defending the city changed their men from those during the day, and they guarded their posts with wide eyes. If you don't have spirits, you can't do it, the death order of the county lord in the city, and there is a night patrol team every half an hour. Dereliction of duty, behead!
"When is this day a head?"
An officer in the largest city gate in Hezhou scolded secretly, and shouted to his brothers, "spirits!" Don't give Lao Tzu a doctor! ”
As soon as the words fell, someone next to him shouted, "Head, there is movement behind you!" ”
Behind? Town?
The officer subconsciously grabbed the handle of the knife, and turned around to see several figures in the darkness behind him, and there was a burst of footsteps.
"Who?" The officer scolded.
"Shout a fart, it's me!" Liao Yongzhong showed his head in the darkness and walked slowly.
He seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol, his face was unusually flushed, and he walked shaky. Behind him, there were several officers and soldiers, holding jars in their hands and carrying food boxes.
"Lao Liao?" The officer let go of the knife handle, "What are you doing here at night?" If you want to change shifts, you have to wait for dawn! Have you drunk too much? ”
"Lao Tzu, please eat and drink!" Liao Yongzhong and the officer were very familiar with each other, and directly hugged each other's shoulders, "Today is the first birthday of my boy, I wanted to have a big drink with the brothers, but at such a juncture, everyone has official business, and they can't get together."
I don't care about others, but Lao Zhang, you must drink this wine today, and the matchmaker of me and my mother-in-law is your third aunt and grandmother. ”
The officer who called Lao Zhang grinned, "Lao Liao, I have received my mind." But there is something above, you can't drink at night, and when you're busy for a while, I'll go and see your fat son, and you don't want to hide from my meal! ”
Liao Yongzhong was not happy, "What, I sent it to Lao Zhang, but you still don't appreciate it." Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city were all listening with their ears open, he said, "It's not a big deal, drink two sips to relieve fatigue, and I brought them all!" ”
At this time, a few soldiers who followed Liao Yongzhong opened the food box, and suddenly the city gate was filled with a smell of wine and meat, and many soldiers secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit.
"This ......"
Seeing that Lao Zhang was about to excuse himself, Liao Yongzhong grabbed a wine bowl and said, "Lao Tzu kindly sent it to you, if you don't drink it, you will look down on me!" The brothers from the side also came and ate some meat to fill their bellies. ”
Lao Zhang had no choice but to smile, and the soldiers at the city gate smiled and gathered together, drinking wine and eating meat.
Liao Yongzhong smiled and shouted towards the city, "The brothers above also came down to take two mouthfuls, today is my festive day, and you will be blessed."
Come on, don't fuck it, there's no one outside the city, but there's a red scarf, and they can still fly over? ”
When the soldiers at the head of the city saw that their officers did not speak, they also came down boldly.
"Pour wine for the brothers, the authentic Huaibei Kouzi Cellar." Liao Yongzhong instructed his brother to pour wine, "Lao Tzu bought it at a high price, everyone drank it happily!" ”
"Lao Liao, can't ...... Uh......"
Lao Zhang wanted to say that he couldn't drink more. But as soon as he said the first two words, he stopped abruptly, and the sudden pain in his heart made his eyes widen.
Liao Yongzhong pushed his arm in vain, but he didn't have any strength at all, his mouth was blocked, and he couldn't make a sound. Only the eyes reveal surprise, anger and unwillingness.
Lao Zhang's body leaned softly on Liao Yongzhong's arms, and the latter smiled and nodded to the soldiers who came with him.
Poof, poof, poof!
The sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh, the city gate guards who drank and ate meat were too late to scream. and became corpses. It's all a one-shot kill, fast and ruthless.
In the night, Lan Yu's face was revealed, and she wiped the blood of the short knife on her body.
"Lao Liao, these official dogs are really easy to cook!"
Liao Yongzhong frowned, "Brother Lanyu, has Zhu Zhenfu's army really arrived?" ”
"The fifth brother has already arrived thirty miles outside the city!" Lan Yu smiled, "Let's open the city gate and we're done!" ”
After speaking, he whistled twice in the distance, and two more teams of people ran over. There are henchmen who follow Liao Yongzhong to fight against the water, and there are brothers who are lurking in by Zhu Wu, and the leader is Feng Sheng.
"Go to the city, open the gates!"
There are no outer two gates in the city gate of Hezhou, and the outer gate is easy to say, and people can push it open when they get off the door bolt. However, the inner gate was a large iron gate of cast iron, which could only be pulled up by a winch at the head of the city.
Chirping... Quack Quack ......
The sudden sound of the chain winch in the night made people have a toothache.
"Work hard, the night patrol will come in a while!"
As more than a dozen brothers gritted their teeth and forced, a crack slowly appeared in the iron door, and the gap slowly widened.
At this moment, a man suddenly rose up in the pile of dead people, and the girl ran away.
"Come on, there are thieves in the city, and there are thieves ........."
The sound was so loud that it pierced the night sky.
"It's broken!" Liao Yongzhong said regretfully, "I forgot to mend the knife just now. ”
Lan Yu sneered twice, "Brothers, keep pulling, don't stop!" Then he walked straight down the city wall and came to the gate.
"Old Feng!" Lan Yu looked at Feng Sheng, "Let's two brothers are nailed here, half an hour, waiting for the army of the fifth brother!" ”
Feng Sheng licked his lips and said loudly, "Brothers, half an hour, wait for the army to be pacified!" ”
"Come on, there are thieves in the city, Liao Yongzhong rebelled and seized the city gate........."
The officer and sergeant who had escaped for his life ran and shouted, and suddenly a group of armor soldiers came out in front of him who were on patrol for the night.
"What's going on?"
Liao Yongzhong reversed...... Captured the gates ......"
The leader of the armor team constricted his pupils, gritted his teeth, and said, "Send someone to inform Lord Wanhu, blow the brass whistle, and let the other brothers who are on night patrol come over, and we will take back the city gate!" ”
A sharp whistle sounded, and the defenders of Hezhou City reacted quickly, and at the moment when the city gate was pulled up, the soldiers of the brigade rushed over.
At the gate of the city, Lan Yu and Feng Sheng appeared side by side at the front of the phalanx, coldly looking at the officers and soldiers who rushed over.
"The thieves are there, brothers kill you!"
The leaders of the officers and soldiers shouted, and the officers and soldiers carrying torches poured over like a tide.
"Ready!"
Lan Yu raised her right hand and watched as the enemy got closer and closer.
"Throw!"
Suddenly, the black palm thunder in the back row fell from the sky.
"What's that?"
The officers and soldiers were still confused, and the palm thunder was on their heads, and the feet exploded.
Bang! Bang!
In the dark night, accompanied by the flames of the explosion, there were fearful, screaming, distorted faces.
"Ahh
The charging officers and soldiers fell like wheat, and many rolled on the ground with their eyes and necks covered.
"Brethren! Vertical guns! ”
Sapphire shouted, "Push it over!" ”
When the sound of the copper whistle sounded, the garrison of Hezhou was suddenly startled, and Hezhou is a large county, and there are almost 5,000 soldiers in the hands of Wanhu, and it is enough to defend the city.
But if there is chaos in the city, and it is here, his numerical advantage is of little use.
"Whistle, prepare the horse!"
The non-commissioned officers in the battalion were quickly called up, and groups of men and horses rushed out of the camp amid the shouting and scolding of the officers.
At the corner of the camp, in a corner, the Guo family brothers sneered and watched the officers and troops assemble and rushed to the gate of the camp.
"Fourth, I'm going to open this copper lump today!" Guo Xing touched the copper cannon and smiled, the two small copper cannons that had just been cast had already been aimed at the enemy's camp gate.
"Put!"
Bang!
The officers and soldiers who were in chaos at the gate of the camp only heard a loud noise in their ears. Immediately afterward, a mist of blood erupted from the crowd.
Just now, I was sleepy-eyed, and the living people suddenly turned into fragmented slag, and the huge impact of the cannonballs directly punched a blood-colored channel in the crowded officers and soldiers. The limbs of the victim were flying, and the survivor's head was covered with flesh and blood.
"What's going on?"
"There's a ghost?"
The officers and soldiers at the gate howled one after another, and those in front wanted to return to the camp. The one in the back doesn't know what's going on in front and wants to get out.
Bang! Another shot.
The person who fired the cannon simply did not have time to observe the effect, and the mechanical charge was reset.
"Demon Law!"
"Heavenly Thunder!"
People are always inexplicably afraid of unknown affairs, and the officials and soldiers began to blame the gods and Buddhas.
Only the officers and soldiers could clearly see the light of the fire at the firing position of the artillery, and the two gun-like things were spitting tongues of fire.
"The thief is there, kill me!" Wan Hu shouted, the elite soldiers and horses under his command did not want to kill them,
"Phew!"
Guo Xing spat out, "Brothers, nail here!" ”
Guo Ying shouted, "Nail the official army, wait for the fifth brother!" ”
The city was filled with fire, killing and explosions.
In the water barracks, Liao Yongan, Feng Guoyong, and Hu Weiyong looked at each other.
"It's time!" Feng Guo used the dress of a scholar, dressed in a strong suit.
Liao Yongan nodded heavily, looked back at his henchmen behind him, and yelled, "Brothers, it's the opposite!" ”
"It's the other way around!"
After roaring, the soldier with a red scarf wrapped around his arm followed Liao Yongan and rushed to the county office.
Feng Guoyong followed, and after taking two steps, he found that Hu Weiyong was still far away.
"What do you want? Let's go? ”
Hu Weiyong smiled embarrassedly, "This murderous thing, I am a scholar......"
"Read your grandma!" Feng Guoyong gave him a knife, "Come with me!" ”
The county government of Hezhou was in chaos, the shouts of killing outside, the smell of blood came in, and the people of the county government trembled.
"What's going on out there?" And the state and county order, wearing a dress, asked worriedly.
A pro-soldier ran over, "The little one went out to inquire, some of the officers and soldiers in the city rebelled, and the city was killed, and now I can't tell the enemy from me!" ”
Among the officials and soldiers, only Liao Yongzhong rebelled, but when it came to his mouth, it became that the officials and soldiers in the city rebelled.
"Sir!" The butler stumbled in, "Let's go, the rebels are rushing to the street!" ”
"The official is not leaving, come, take the official's official uniform!" The county order was a little bold, "This official is here to see who dares to rebel!" ”
Bang!
The sudden explosion outside seemed to be in response to the arrogance of the county order,
The loyal soldiers and servants ignored it, and ran out with the county order.
The housekeeper shouted from behind, "Run to the secret house in the south city, no one knows!" Then, he instructed the servant, "Go and ask Madame and Miss to prepare, quick!" ”
The county commander struggled, "Wait for the servant of evil, let go of this official." This official guards the city for the Son of Heaven and guards the city for the Son of Heaven!! ”
The soldiers and servants were sweating, and their hearts said Master, don't shout, it's useless for you to shout God, and the rebels don't recognize this.
"Hurry up!"
The sudden footsteps in front suddenly made everyone's hearts lift, and the footsteps stopped in fright.
"It's the prefectural commander in front?" Someone in front asked.
The county order neatly behaved, "It's this official, who is in front?" ”
"The last general Liao Yongan!"
"It turned out to be Liao Baihu of the water army!" The county order is overjoyed, this Liao family brother is one of the few in the official army that he can take a fancy to.
"Lord Prefectural Commander, please take a boat out of the city with the last general!" Liao Yongan ran over with the soldiers and said respectfully.
These words made the retinue of the county order happy.
But the county magistrate said, "This official is not going anywhere, just in the city." Liao Baihu, you are favored by the emperor and are also loyal people, are you willing to follow this official to quell the rebellion. Hey...... Why do you have a red scarf wrapped around your arm......"
"Do it!"
Feng Guo shouted loudly, and the county order's personal soldiers and entourage were hacked to death in an instant.
"You ......" the county magistrate pointed at Liao Yongan, "This official asks himself if he treats you well, why are you a thief?" ”
"Surrender, sir!" Liao Yongan lowered his head and didn't look at the eyes of the county order, "With the love of the past, I will protect the lives of your whole family." ”
"Hahaha!" The county commander laughed wildly, "Surrender? This official is a Jinshi of the two lists of the Great Yuan, and he guards one side for the Son of Heaven of the Great Yuan, how can he surrender to the thief!
If you die, you will die, and the official is the Son of Heaven of the Great Yuan......"
"Oh my God, your grandma!" Hu Weiyong swiped a knife behind him and cut down the county order, "You first help your son of heaven go to the underworld to make a stop!" ”
"Hu Weiyong!" Liao Yongan was furious, "He said that he wouldn't kill the county order, he was kind to me!" ”
"Bullshit!" Hu Weiyong sneered, "You burn more paper money for him in the future!" ”
"Hu Weiyong, I'm facing your grandma!"
