238: A gentleman seeks profit and avoids trouble
Palm light time.
Guo Xiaotongcai, the assassin of Huangzhou, dragged his tired body back to the back office, and when he saw his wife's tearful eyes and six gods without an owner, he couldn't help but scold: "You are the mother of the family, you are so anxious and flustered, what kind of system." ”
"Everything is packed, why don't you leave tonight?"
Guo Xiaotong sat down on the chair tiredly, took the tea handed by the maid, waved his hand to let him retreat, and then said with dissatisfaction: "The gentleman seeks profit and avoids trouble, how can I not know this truth, but as the head of a state, how can there be a reason to escape before fighting?" ”
"You can rest assured, there are 5,000 elite soldiers in the city, and there are high walls to lean on, and you will come lightly against the circumference, and it will take at least two days to prepare for battle, and you can rest easy in three days."
Only then did the lady pat her trembling chest and put down the heart she was carrying, and personally removed her boots and pinched her feet for her husband.
As the night deepened, the candles and lamps were extinguished one after another, and when the time came, there were few bright lights in the city.
Jia Yin sat up on the bed, tied his feet and sleeves, tightened his belt, and made a few chest expansion movements, then he was satisfied with the knife and quietly pushed open the window.
Outside, Manid was ready to continue, carrying two bags of arrows on his shoulders, a carved bow in his hand, a short sword at his waist, and his empty right hand constantly crossed his chest, and whispered softly.
The spear came out last, with a gun in his right hand and a keg in his left hand.
Jiayin thrust the knife in his back, took the keg, and with the spear, he freed his hand, held Manid and jumped down.
As soon as the three of them landed on the ground, they rolled on the spot, disappeared into the darkness, and then silently rushed towards the city gate.
The heavy troops of Huangzhou City are gathered at the north gate, followed by the southeast, the west gate leads directly to the wharf, less than three miles away from the wharf, it is the official army water village, not afraid of the enemy attack, so the city defense is relaxed.
However, these four gates are not the destination of Jiayin, their target is the Baofeng Gate at the southwest corner, which is a water gate, leading directly to the fishing market in the city, and is an important commercial pass for rice, vegetables, fish and vegetables in Huangzhou City.
Tang Dong came to Huangzhou with a few brothers as early as after capturing Qizhou, and thoroughly explored the inside and outside of the city, so the three of Jiayin entered the city, and they only needed to take a walk around to know it.
Passing by an alley, there are low grass houses on the left and right, Jia Yin opened the lid of the bucket in his hand, splashed it all over the sky, took out five or six paper media from his arms, and threw them on the grass shed on the roof with a flick in the wind.
This time, it was about speed, and the three of them rushed up to the city like leopards, and in the shouts and questions of the guards on duty, swords and guns came out together, and six or seven people were killed in an instant.
There was a gong sounding.
Jia Yin slashed down, the sound stopped abruptly, and Jia Yin roared: "Winch." ”
Manid, who had lost his soul, woke up like a dream, put the crowbar into the sleeve of the shaft, and stepped on it with all his might, and heard the sound of the sluice gate below.
At this time, the shouting and screaming around became louder and louder, and the flower spear and Jia Yin had been separated from the left and right, and one person resisted and fought hard.
Jia Yin waved his knife while paying attention to the movement outside the city, but he didn't hear the sound of oars, and couldn't help but be annoyed, how did Shi Cheng do it, why was there no figure at the third moment of the first month of the first month.
He forced back the enemy in front of him with two swords, and was changing the turbidity in his chest, but he heard a cheer from Manid, and then a familiar voice sounded: "Huzi, don't panic, come here." ”
Jia Yin didn't have time to look back, and when he waved his knife, he heard footsteps behind him, but there were as many as twenty or thirty people for a while, and an iron spear had been stabbed out from the left flank in a few breaths.
With the help of this new force, the defenders of nearly a brigade at the head of the city were killed and wounded, and the rest fled desperately.
Jia Yin had time to turn around, and when he saw that Shi Cheng and the other reinforcements were all soaked, he was surprised: "Came from the water?" ”
Shi Cheng smiled proudly: "More than half a month of hard training in the water is not blown. ”
Jia Yin struck an elbow, saw the sound of oars outside the city, the sailor was struggling to drive, the fire in the city rose to the sky, and in the direction of the north city, there seemed to be a faint sound of shouting and killing.
Jia Yin said excitedly: "Great, everything is in plan, General Si and they have also launched an attack, Ye Husheng-"
"Yes."
"You lead two brigades to guard here, and the others rush with me, let's capture Guo Xiao alive."
"No."
……
Outside the northern city, Si Chao watched the battle with a knife, and his eyebrows wrinkled into a heavy Sichuan character.
He looked at the three extremely fierce axes, knives and guns on the head of the city, and thought to himself, these three people are only ranked three, four or five in the Huya Army's combat strength, and they all say that Wu Wu is the first.
It seems that he is really old, and now he is the world of young people.
He gave the order for a general attack when the first fire in the city was lit, and he was still a little apprehensive at that time, but he didn't expect the fire in the city to get bigger and bigger, and the news from Diao Dou made him feel at ease, and the sailor had entered the city.
Listening to the shouting and killing, the screams and the sound of swords and guns intersecting, the sound was inspiring, and seeing his army like ants climbing forward and falling and rising again, Si Chao's heart became more and more surging, and he couldn't wait to climb the city in person.
"Kill!"
"Kill."
On the head of the city, the iron war axe danced in a whirlwind, swinging in a circle, Wu Jilie in the left hand, Bai Xingba in the right hand, the knife was like a match, and the gun was like a dragon, crushing the past step by step, making room for the follow-up troops.
The defenders did not expect that the Zhou army would suddenly attack in the middle of the night, and they were panicking, when there was another fire in the city, and there was another shout of killing from the west of the city.
Fortunately, there is a geographical advantage, and it can still hold on for a while.
Tang general Shao Xiong commanded the defenders to press, and at the same time urgently transferred the troops in the east and south of the city to help, and was roaring hoarsely, but the city suddenly burst into a loud "surrender" shout.
Shao Xiong looked back, his feet suddenly weakened, and he hurriedly held the gun to stabilize.
I saw that the disheveled assassin Guo Xiaotong was being pushed by the Zhou army with a steel knife around his neck, and there were about 100 Zhou soldiers behind him, shouting all the way: "The Ming Mansion has a life, abandon the weapon and surrender." ”
Almost everyone knew that the city could not be defended.
"General, what should I do?"
Facing the anxious inquiries of the guards around him, Shao Xiong closed his eyes impatiently.
The families of the soldiers are all in the city, and the destruction of the city has become a fact, so what can they do if they struggle?
“…… Surrender. ”
Shao Xiong only said two words, but he felt that it was not his own voice at all, and he was bitter to the heart.
……
Huangzhou City was broken overnight, and the thousands of sailors in Ximen Water Village saw that it was not good, so they moved their ships west and went directly to Jiangzhou.
At dawn, Si Chao rode into the city, but saw a young man dressed in a strong costume waiting on the street.
"The last general, Jiayin, greet the general."
Si Chao's eyes were in a trance, this person in front of him was Shuzhou Defense Envoy Jia Yin?
Looking at his age, he is at least thirty years younger than himself, but in terms of job titles, the two of them are already the same, if it weren't for Si Chao and the dispatch of the Huaixi bandit patrol envoy, he wouldn't be able to stand his worship.
"General A, please hurry up, how dare you give such a big gift."
Jia Yin said with a smile: "General Si is well-governed, majestic and generous, the three armies respect him, Chen Tou often talks to us and others, this time to be able to fight hand in hand with General Si, it is really a blessing for the younger generation." ”
"General Chen's courage and fortitude is a model for us, as for your General A, the old man is good at suggesting that you change your surname."
"Huh?"
Si Chao said with a smile: "You actually thought that only three people entered the city as an internal response, you are really iron-blooded and brave, but you are obviously a real hero, but you are said to be a fake tiger, and the old man is panicked for you." ”
Only then did Jia Yin know that the veteran in front of him was joking, and he laughed happily.
