Chapter 87 Raiders Huanglongzhai 6
Yang Xun guessed correctly, at this time, the left and right battalions of Huanglongzhai had been controlled by Zhou Cang and their people. The seven masters who guarded the left camp knew where they came from to enjoy their life now, so they were very flattering and respectful to the first three leaders of the cottage, and for Yang Xun and the three of them, he knew that the big leaders were at odds with them, so he usually treated Yang Xun and others without hesitation.
When he heard that the third master had sent someone to invite him to a banquet, he was very happy to go over with a few of his own soldiers, but he was greeted by the sword and axe hand of the unclothed soldiers, and he died before he could struggle. Then Wang Qing pretended to be in the name of the Seven Masters, led people up to the left front, and then killed the people who were evil with the Seven Masters, and the other bandits all surrendered to the officers and soldiers.
At this point, the sheep's head mountain, which was originally firmly controlled by Huanglongzhai, has now been captured by officers and soldiers The barrier he relied on the most, and as long as the camp is broken, Huanglongzhai will become history from now on.
There was still a day before the agreed time with Goode, and Wang Qing never saw the people who went to the depths of Sheep's Head Mountain come out. At this time, whether it was Wang Qing, Zhou Cang, or Pei Yuanshao and others, they were all very worried about whether Gude's trip would go smoothly or not. If Gude hadn't sent someone out to deliver the message tomorrow, they could only directly attack the Huanglongzhai lair as agreed, hoping that Gude was still alive at that time and had not been killed by the bandits.
Otherwise, Wang Qing might really go against Zeng Yu's will and wash the entire Huanglongzhai with blood. Zhou Cang knew that in this matter, he also persuaded Wang Qing not to move, after all, Gude is not only a simple county lieutenant, but also like Zeng Yu and Wang Qing, he grew up in Qianlong Village since he was a child, and the relationship between them is not something that a fellow villager can express.
However, what made Zhou Cang breathe a sigh of relief was that on this night, a soldier from the Ruishi battalion who went to the old lair of Huanglongzhai with Gude came back, but Gude did not come back with him, and he was accompanied by a young man who looked more handsome.
After being introduced, Wang Qing and others learned that this young man was Gongsun Ao, the sixth leader of Huanglongzhai. From Gongsun Ao's mouth, Wang Qing and the others knew that Gude's trip was very smooth, and he successfully persuaded Yang Xun to do so, and then Guo Yue and Gongsun Ao, who had Yang Xun as their backbone, naturally agreed to surrender to the government.
Goode asked the soldiers of the Ruishi battalion who came back to bring a message to Wang Qing and them, tomorrow night it was Guo Yue's command who was on night patrol, and he would send someone to meet them at the entrance of the lair. In other words, they had agreed to launch an attack tomorrow night, and Gongsun Ao came with him, which was Good's request, and Yang Xun agreed to express his sincerity in cooperation.
Wang Qing was overjoyed, knowing that Gude was safe now, and second, he could launch a final attack tomorrow. With Yang Xun's cooperation, they will definitely be able to succeed this time, so he is also very polite to Gongsun Ao, not only arranged a separate room for him, but also told him that after breaking through Huanglongzhai this time, he must ask Zeng Yu for them to take credit.
Now that he had received a clear message, Zhou Cang asked all the soldiers to finish their meals early and prepare for the next action. At the appointed time in the evening, Zhou Cang and Wu Shi led 1,000 people to guard the prisoners of the left and right battalions, and the others, led by Wang Qing, quietly touched the old nest of Huanglongzhai.
Gongsun Ao did not accompany them, although it would be more convenient to have him go out with the army, but for safety reasons, he finally stayed in the right camp and handed over to Zhou Cang to take care of, of course, it can't be said to be guarded, and it may be more suitable to say that the reception may be more suitable.
Wang Qing, Pei Yuanshao, and Wu Qin, as the commanders of the three major battalions of the Unclothed Army, led their respective subordinates along the mountain road in silence. It was not the middle of the month, so the moonlight was not great, and in the eyes of all the soldiers, the road was almost completely dark, and night blindness was more severe at this time, but for the sake of secrecy, they did not light torches. For the convenience of action, Wang Qing asked everyone to pull the clothes of the people in front of them, and then moved forward slowly, for which they deliberately set off half an hour in advance, just for fear of missing the time agreed by Goode.
Like a long dragon in the dark night, the soldiers of the three battalions of the Clothless Army have approached the last gate of Huanglongzhai under the leadership of several commanders. At this time, the gate of the cottage was closed, and there was a fence in front of it, Wang Qing didn't know how Yang Xun and his people would cooperate, and it was not yet the agreed time at this time, so Wang Qing and the others could only quietly lie in ambush outside the cottage and wait for Gude and their actions.
After waiting for a long time, Wang Qing and the others saw a new pair of thieves coming to the gate of Huanglongzhai, and it seemed that it was time to change shifts. Wang Qing saw in the dark that among the newcomers, Gude was impressively in the ranks.
Wang Qing knew that this was the time for the action that Gude and they were talking about, and he led the people to stand up directly and walk towards the gate. After discussing with Yang Xun, Gude deliberately pretended to be a thief to pick up Wang Qing and them, and the people with him were also Yang Xun's cronies. They did not express surprise when they saw Wang Qing suddenly come out of the darkness, on the contrary, under Good's orders, these people quickly opened the gate and removed the fence in front of the gate at the same time.
Seeing this, Wang Qing asked the soldiers of the various battalions of the unclothed army behind him to quickly enter the camp and occupy a favorable position to guard against the approach of others in the cottage. Wang Qing walked up to Gude and asked, "Bo Bird, everything is going well, what should I do next?" ”
"It's very simple, Yang Xun has already agreed to cooperate with us, with their five thousand people, plus our unclothed army, and we are a surprise attack, just go directly to the residence of the big boss of Huanglongzhai. There are usually only 500 personal soldiers of the big boss stationed nearby, as long as we move fast enough, we can take down the big boss and the second boss of Huanglongzhai before the people of Huanglongzhai react. With Yang Xun's help, Gude has planned everything, even if Wang Qing didn't ask, he had to communicate the plan with Wang Qing first.
"Okay, the people on Yang Xun's side are fine, I mean those under his command, after all, their identities make people have to worry." Although Wang Qing believed in Gude's ability, Yang Xun surrendered with a total of 5,000 people under the command of the three of them, and maybe there might be people who were unwilling to act with Yang Xun.
"These five thousand people are almost all pulled up by Yang Xun and the three of them step by step, and the team rate at the grassroots level is all their cronies, so Ziwu, you can rest assured. Moreover, since this afternoon, Yang Xun and Guo Yue have blocked their camps, and no one has gone out. The most important thing is that in the next operation, it is Yang Xun and his team who will attack first, and our task is to block the bandits who come to support from outside. Goode explained that this was Yang Xun's previous initiative, not only to draw a perfect end to the past, but also to give Zeng Yu a vote.
The soldiers of the unclothed army quietly entered the camp and were not spotted by the men and horses of the big boss in the distance. Goode asked the person in charge of the night to tell Yang Xun that he could start acting as agreed, and he himself would go to the camp of the big boss of Huanglongzhai from another direction with Wang Qing and them.
Yang Xun and Guo Yue had already gathered all the men and horses, and were waiting for the news of the entrance of the camp on Gude's side, and learned that all the officers and soldiers were in place. The two of them didn't have any pre-battle speeches or anything like that, but after quieting down the soldiers, they glanced at everyone, and then took the lead in setting off to forge another path for their future.
As Goode said, most of the people who followed Yang Xun and his command joined after they came to Huanglongzhai, and they were all very loyal to them. And Yang Xun usually squandered money with righteousness, Guangjie was kind, and the thieves thought simply, whoever was good to them they were willing to follow, so Yang Xun had a high prestige in the cottage, and was more loved by the thieves than the big boss who was used to suppressing people with power, which is also the reason why the big boss and Yang Xun were opposed to each other.
Because of the current contradiction between the big boss and Yang Xun, the barracks of the soldiers on both sides also happen to be in two different places. Today is Guo Yue's subordinates on duty, so the people on the big boss's side are not very vigilant, but considering the precautions against Yang Xun's camp, they have also arranged for people to symbolically patrol. However, they did not expect a sneak attack, so the patrol people were either asleep at this time, or they had already gone out drinking with the others.
It wasn't until Yang Xun brought people close to the residence of the big boss that no one realized that something was wrong, but it was too late at this time. Yang Xun saw that since he was discovered, he directly led people to start an attack. Most of the big bosses who were still resting in the camp next to them didn't respond, but the big boss's own soldiers noticed the abnormality. The pro-soldiers were meant to stop anyone who came without notice, and they quickly formed a formation to block it.
These five hundred personal soldiers were selected from the cottage by the big bosses, and they were all the earliest personnel, so they could be said to be loyal to him, and their combat effectiveness was far more outstanding than that of ordinary bandits. Although Yang Xun's side was more numerous than the other party, it was blocked in front of the door for a while, and it was difficult to enter the courtyard. Seeing this, the people in charge of the back have already begun to lead people out of the barracks under the organization led by their respective teams, and they have rushed here one after another.
Guo Yue said to Yang Xun: "Third brother, the people on the other side have already surrounded us, we have to work harder, otherwise once they form a front and back attack, I am worried that the brothers will not be able to hold on." ”
"There are only five hundred men in front of them, and we will take them down with our lives. It's just that I'm worried that the other party will take the opportunity to escape, and even mobilize everyone to resist, which will make us lose even more. Now the hope is that the officers and men will arrive as soon as possible, they will come from the rear and just so that they can form an encirclement with us. Yang Xun said to Guo Yue, and at the same time, he also asked his subordinates to step up the attack, if they could take the big boss before the arrival of the officers and soldiers, according to the agreement between him and Gude, their starting point would be higher.
