Sixty-seven back roads
Bang!
Without warning, there was a thunderclap in the dark night sky, and a torrential downpour of rain poured down.
The rain was swift and fast, and the torrential rain in the dark night was as impenetrable as a curtain on a door. In an instant, the torches on the walls of Huai'an Mansion were extinguished, and the Yuan troops patrolling the city dodged in all directions.
"Just say it!"
At the head of Huai'an City, a Yuan army colonel was drenched in a face by the sudden rainstorm, and quickly ran to the gatehouse on the city wall, scolding.
"Head, are you still patrolling?"
Outside, a Yuan soldier hiding under the wall shouted.
"Patrol your mother's legs, your mother is so conscientious, Ming'er will send you to the front line and climb the Gaoyou city wall!"
The little colonel cleaned up the rain on his body and laughed and cursed, and several Yuan soldiers crowded in the gatehouse laughed.
"This bird weather, the ghosts don't come out, who do you patrol to."
The little colonel sat down on the stool in the gatehouse, took out a few dice from his sleeve, and shouted, "Come, idle is idle, Lao Tzu is a villager, play a few hands!" ”
"Okay!"
"I'm just waiting for you to keep saying this!"
"I haven't played for a few days, and my hands are so itchy!"
"Brothers, come here, let's sit on the village and open the charge!"
On the city wall, the Yuan soldiers were smiling and cheering.
It's raining in the world, and God knows the lover. If you don't play money and drink, you can live up to such a rain.
So, after a while, the small gatehouse was crowded with Yuan troops, and the sound and shadow of the dice turning in the bowl were crisp and pleasant.
The torrential rain continues.
At this time, it was the end of April, and the rain in the south of the Yangtze River came, and the river tide also came.
In the midst of the torrential rain, the seemingly gentle surging waves surged on the river, and the rushing waves rushed into the moat of Huai'an in an instant.
Huai'an's moat was not so deep, it may be that Gaoyou gave Huai'an an an inspiration, and the Huai'an prefect organized the people in the city for months to widen and deepen the moat.
The river poured into the moat, and the water surface rose sharply. But in the night, in the thunder, in the rain.
Following the river into the moat, there were also several warships.
The battleship of the Dingyuan Navy.
These battleships were not huge ships, but in the moat a few feet wide, they were extraordinarily huge, and the top tower of the battleship was almost level with the city walls.
The wind and rain continued, and the battleship moved slowly without making a sound.
The Dingyuan Navy sergeant on the battleship, clenching the weapons in his hands, and his bloodthirsty eyes were exceptionally bright in the night.
"God help us to set the Yuan Army!"
Among the battleships at the front, in the sentry tower on the top floor, Liao Yongan looked at the generals around him, and said in a low but passionate voice.
"The commander's order to us is to attack the dock and burn down the grain depot of the Yuan army. But now, the river is rising, let's be ruthless, take Huai'an down directly, and cut off the back road of the dog prime minister! ”
"I've been idle for a month, it's time for us to show our faces!"
Deputy Commander Yu Tingyu licked his lips, "Take advantage of the night, take Huai'an!" ”
As he spoke, there was a soft bang outside.
The battleship was already leaning against the city wall, and the hull shook slightly, and immediately regained its calm.
"Go ahead with the plan!" Liao Yongan tightened the clasp of the iron armor, "Brother Zhao, you lead the death squad to open the way, I will follow behind, don't entangle, open the city gate, and let the brothers outside in!" ”
"Whoa!"
The double-sword Zhao Pusheng responded, waved his hand at the lower floors of the battleship, and then climbed to the top floor of the battleship first.
"Ladder!"
There was still a distance of two people between the top floor and the city wall, and on the slightly swaying boat, the nimble sailor brought a ladder and pressed it diagonally against the city wall, and then two sturdy soldiers pressed one side, and the ladder was steady.
"Up!"
Zhao Pusheng said softly, carrying the double knives on his back, and quickly climbed up.
The distance between the two is high, and it will be there in a few clicks. Zhao Pusheng slowly poked his head out of the city wall, his vision was dark, and he couldn't see anything in the rainstorm, but in a gatehouse in the distance, there were lights and the sound of people laughing.
He jumped on the city wall lightly, drew his double knives, and looked at the four directions vigilantly, and behind him, one after another Dingyuan soldiers climbed up.
It didn't take long for this city to be densely packed with people.
At the same time, such scenes are constantly being staged in other castles.
The 3,000 death squad of the Dingyuan Navy rushed up.
Zhao Pusheng wiped the rain from his face, carried his double knives, and slowly walked towards the gatehouse with lights and human voices, like a cat, without any sound.
"Yo, it's a leopard again!"
"Hey, I'm so lucky, it's amazing!"
"Damn, I'm betting less!"
The Yuan army in the gatehouse did not feel the danger at all, and was still indulging in pleasure.
"Come on, come on, buy and leave, Lao Tzu will kill you today!"
The junior colonel of Yuanjun, who was sitting in the village, looked proud, and shook the dice in his hand vigorously.
But in a second, his movements stopped.
"....... you?"
At the door, a big man in iron armor was looking at them with a smile.
"Shangguan check?"
As soon as this idea popped into Xiao Xiaoxiao's mind, he saw behind the man, more than a dozen fierce gods rushed in.
The sword shines, and the flesh flies.
"Anti-thief ......!"
Before the colonel could shout, he was cut off in the head with a knife.
"Kill the official dog and take the city!"
Zhao Pusheng shouted in the rain, three thousand death squads, on the city wall in the rainstorm, raging vertically and horizontally.
Rumble!
Thunder, explosions, rain, and screams were intertwined in Huai'an City.
The torrential rain cannot be extinguished, the burning oil, and the city head turns into a sea of fire in the rain, which is particularly strange and charming.
"Kill the city and open the gates!"
Zhao Pusheng was in front of him, and the Yuan army fled in all directions. In the dark night, the Yuan army had no idea how many people there were on the other side, nor did they know where the enemy came from, let alone what the enemy looked like.
The city gate of Huai'an was occupied by the Dingyuan naval army in an instant, the huge suspension bridge was lowered, and the iron gate was opened.
The soldiers of the Dingyuan Navy outside the city gate saw the fire at the head of the city and let out a heaven-shattering cheer.
"Into town!"
There were about 15,000 people in the Dingyuan naval army, whether they were gunners or sailors, all of whom turned into infantry at this moment and swarmed into the city.
"My lord, the thieves have entered the city!"
The prefect of Huai'an stood in the rain in embarrassment, surrounded by shouts of killing and the Yuan army fleeing in embarrassment.
"Where's the thief?" Huai'an Mansion grabbed a Yuan Jun and asked.
"Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu is here, Zhu Wu has entered the city!"
The Yuan army shook off the arm of Huai'an Mansion and ran away.
"Zhu Wu?"
Huai'an Mansion is stunned, whether it is Zhu Wu or not, the thief has already entered the city, and Huai'an is finished.
"Oh my God!"
Huai'an Mansion looked up to the sky and roared, bursting into tears, "God does not bless Huai'an, God does not bless Dayuan!" ”
"Kill!"
The killing sound of the Dingyuan army in the city completely overshadowed the sound of wind and rain.
In the city where blood and fire are intertwined, the long knives of the Dingyuan army are shining, and the city is full of the heroic singing of Huaixi men.
"Ninety-nine with a steel knife, kill all the corrupt officials before stopping, I am a dignified man, and I don't give the court a horse and a cow!"
Kill......
When it was light, the rain stopped.
The Dingyuan naval army controlled the whole city, the Yuan army had 10,000 defenders, surrendered 7,000, and the rest were either dead or hiding.
More than 7,000 troops squatted in the urn city with their heads in their hands, and Liao Yongan, Yu Tingyu, Zhao Pusheng and others on the city wall looked at them expressionlessly.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Pusheng asked Liao Yongan, "More than 7,000 soldiers, we can't stand it, right?" ”
I can't stand it, and the Dingyuan naval army in the city is only 15,000 people.
Liao Yongan suddenly grinned, "These people, picking up a knife, are soldiers, they can't watch it, they can't control it, they can't say that they want to learn to learn to meet spring today!" ”
Yu Tingyu and Zhao Pusheng both laughed.
Subsequently, the figures of the three disappeared at the head of the city.
"Brother, what are you going to do with those anti-thieves?"
In the urn city, a young Yuan soldier whispered to a thirty-year-old man beside him.
The man looked up, "What else can you do, let us give them our lives!" ”
"Hey, aren't we thieves?"
"Say yes first, find a chance to run!"
As he spoke, it seemed that there were dark clouds floating overhead, and it was getting a little dark.
More than 7,000 soldiers raised their heads at the same time, and on the city wall, I don't know when, densely stood with Dingyuan soldiers holding bows and arrows.
The soldiers understood.
"Brothers, these southern barbarians are going to kill the prisoners!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Weng City became a place of death, and the soldiers struggled in vain, and only death awaited them.
This is war, cold-blooded and brutal.
If you don't have the strength to decide to eat these surrenders, the best way is to kill them.
Otherwise, in the future, these people will turn around and kill you with a knife.
"You ..... In a frenzy..... Inhumane! ”
The captured Huai'an Mansion lay on the ground full of stagnant water, wept for a long time, and cursed.
"You have humanity!"
A passing Dingyuan soldier kicked him and kicked him directly into the water.
"If your government is humane, my father and mother, my brother and sister-in-law and niece can starve to death? I have a family of twelve silver, and my mother lives one. The grain has been robbed by the official government, human nature? Lao Tzu's humanity, let you eat the food earlier! ”
said, snorted, "I can't get rid of your hatred after cutting off all of you officials, and the king is on the ground!" ”
In the distance, Liao Yongan and others watched this scene coldly.
"How many days are we going to keep watch?"
After a long time, Zhao Pusheng asked.
"Tokhoff will definitely return to the army to fight, and if he returns, we will take a boat from the dock and retreat."
Liao Yongan looked at the gunpowder smoke in the city, "He goes, let's come back!" ”
"Fuck it!" Zhao Pusheng smiled.
This was the tactic formulated by Zhu Wu at the beginning, to eat the warships of the Yuan army. The navy repeatedly attacked and disturbed the waterways and grain routes of the Yuan army, making it difficult for these 600,000 people to take care of them.
"Commander! Let's send it! ”
On the city wall, Yu Tonghai ran with his hands dancing.
"Be steady, what a man!"
Yu Tingyu scolded.
Yu Tonghai saw Lao Tzu, and fought well in a proper manner, "Commander, Dad, Uncle Zhao, let's send it!" Huai'an's grain depot has countless gold, silver, grain and grass, and the officials in charge of the treasury say that these grains and grasses are enough to get rid of 600,000 troops for half a year! ”
"What's the matter? We can't take it away! ”
Yu Tingyu smiled bitterly, "Don't wait for us to load on the ship, we'll be back!" ”
"Let the people in the city take whatever they want, and the rest will be burned!" Liao Yongan ordered, "Not a single grain of grain is left for Toto, and if there is no food, how can he fight!" ”
"That's it!"
