Chapter 63: The long-awaited bloom
In the afternoon, the heat of Yingzhou City was a little depressing, and the big banyan tree in front of the broken temple kept screaming, which made people so upset.
Zhu Chuba listened to Han Lin's words, and then looked at Zhang Ying, who was lying alone on the thatch, and stepped forward to apologize. But he wasn't sure of Zhang Ying's intentions, and he wasn't even sure of his own intentions, worried that it would be too abrupt to pass like this.
"Sleep, sleep, sleep and forget everything."
Zhu Chuba seemed to be talking to himself, muttered to the side, found an open space, and sat down to close his eyes and recuperate.
Knowing that it was still chirping, the sun's exposure was blocked by the dilapidated roof, and it was still shady inside. The three of them, plus a comatose Du Li, all slept quietly.
……
Time flies, and the sun has climbed to the west, and the sun is shining obliquely. It's dusk.
Zhu Chuba didn't sleep long, and he didn't know where to find a rope to tie Du Li's hands behind his back. Zhang Ying and Han Lin also woke up one after another, Zhang Ying saw Zhu Chuba, who was busy alone, hesitated for a moment, but still came over and asked, "Brother Zhu, how long do we have to wait?" ”
Zhu Chuba looked at Zhang Ying's eyes, was stunned, and said softly: "Wait until it's dark." ”
Han Lin heard the conversation between the two, and also leaned over and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zhu Chuba lowered his head and thought for a while, "You are all here, when it gets dark, I will go alone." ”
Zhang Ying unconsciously showed a concerned look, "Are you alone? Isn't it dangerous? ”
Looking at Zhang Ying's concerned gaze, a warm current crossed Zhu Chuba's heart, and he smiled slightly, "It's okay, the next thing to do is very simple, and there is not much danger." ”
Zhang Ying thought that her concern seemed to be too obvious, she blushed and lowered her head, hummed softly, and did not persuade Zhu Chuba again, but said: "Then you should be careful." ”
Han Lin was still worried, "Is it really possible?" Don't want me to come with you? ”
Zhu Chuba shook his head, "No, it's troublesome when there are too many people." ”
Hearing this, Han Lin no longer insisted, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news." ”
……
The sun was gradually setting below the horizon, and before I knew it, the moon had climbed into the sky, and the sky suddenly darkened.
Zhu Chuba left the broken temple alone, and he came to the Zhou Yin Mansion first, intending to lead a horse out. After the trouble during the day, there were no more guards in the Zhou Yin Mansion, and everyone was called to the city gate to wait for Zhu Chuba to throw himself into the net, and Zhu Chuba easily led a horse out of the Zhou Yin Mansion.
Originally, Zhu Chuba didn't need to take the risk of coming to the Zhou Yin Mansion to lead the horse, but the families who had a little property in Yingzhou City fled, except for the Zhou Yin Mansion, I am afraid that there is really no horse to find anywhere else.
Riding a horse, Zhu Chuba rode slowly on the empty street, confirmed the key thing in his arms, looked up at the dark night, and suddenly rode towards the city gate.
Zhu Chuba did not approach the city gate, and stopped some distance from the city gate.
He didn't mean to be reckless when he told Zhang Ying and Han Lin that there was no danger, what he had to do now didn't need to meet anyone, he only needed one person, and it was enough to be in a place close enough to the city gate.
Before Zhu Chuba came out of the camp of the rebel army, he asked Zhang Shicheng for something. Signal fireworks, which are commonly used to transmit simple signals on the battlefield, can solve existing problems in the most simple, efficient and non-dangerous way.
Before coming, Zhu Chuba had predicted the current situation. He wanted to rescue Han Lin from a tightly guarded place, and it was impossible not to alarm anyone. And as long as Chakhan Timur is alarmed, then the city gate will set up a defensive position as quickly as possible. Most of the troops of Yingzhou City are stationed near the city gate, although the city gate has been broken, but only Zhu Chuba and the three people want to break through the encirclement of most of the troops in Yingzhou City, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Therefore, he asked Zhang Shicheng to report the fireworks, and agreed that as long as he saw the fireworks blooming in Yingzhou City, it would mean that Han Lin had been moved to a safe place, and there was no need to be afraid of it, and immediately launched a general attack.
The reason why Zhu Chuba had to wait until after night fell to act was because the fireworks could only be seen by the rebels in the distance in the night. The reason for getting as close as possible to the city gate is that the height that the fireworks can reach is limited, and if you don't get as close as possible to the city gate, it is very likely that the rebels will miss the light of the fireworks due to the obstruction of the city wall.
Zhu Chuba got off the horse, took out the fireworks he had been carrying from his arms and put them on the ground, and then took out the fire fold he carried with him from his sleeve, and blew it on his back, and a fiery red light appeared on the fire fold.
Zhu Chuba cautiously put the fire fold close to the lead of the fireworks, for fear that a gust of wind would come and blow away the fragile flames. The lead was ignited, and the long lead quickly shortened in the sound of lala, and finally burned out under Zhu Chuba's gaze.
Burst~
After a low thrashing sound, a cluster of light quickly rose into the air, and the low sound suddenly turned into a piercing scream, which made people's ears hurt.
The cluster of light rose to its highest point, and with a thud, it exploded. It is like a flower that suddenly blooms, and it blooms beautifully in the sky. This light quickly spread to everyone's sight under the darkness.
Zhu Chuba glanced at the gradually dissipating fireworks, the corners of his mouth set off a reassuring arc, and silently turned around and got on the horse and left, leaving only a back behind him that was about to rain.
……
In addition to Zhu Chuba, Chakhan Timur, who has been guarding in front of the gate of Yingzhou City, should be the first to see the light of fireworks. At that moment, a very unrosy possibility appeared in his mind. This possibility flashed in his mind, but it lingered, and finally slowly magnified. Chakhan Timur's frown suddenly loosened, and the puzzled expression on his face quickly turned into a shock, even fear.
"Quick, everyone, turn the horse's head and head out of the city, full vigilance."
Chakhan Timur roared as hard as he could, and at this moment, he was soaked with nervous sweat. He smiled bitterly in his heart, this time, it seemed that he was really going to capsize in the gutter of Yingzhou City.
Almost at the same time, the rebel army stationed in Yingzhou City also saw the blooming fireworks. Han Yu and Zhang Shicheng have been waiting for this blooming moment for two nights, since Zhu Chuba's departure, Han Yu has not slept all night, just staring at the sky in the direction of Yingzhou City, just to see the fireworks that represent Han Lin being rescued safely.
Because Zhang Ying was also in danger with Zhu Chuba, Zhang Shicheng's worry in his heart was no less than that of Han Yu. He ordered his soldiers to rest during the day and prepare for battle at night, waiting for this moment. Now, the moment has finally arrived. Zhang Shicheng wore a belligerent armor, went out of the account, turned over his horse, and pointed at Yingzhou City.
"Brothers, tonight is the time when we will completely take Yingzhou City."
