Final Chapter. 181. People grow and hate water (6)
The current situation in Gusu City is just as worried Shen Ju is worried about; There are countless people in the rivers and lakes, who are on the way to rescue Lin Siwei; As for Qin Qiu and his subordinate Hundred Birds, they were the first batch of vanguard troops to infiltrate Gusu City.
Although the name of Bainiao is not small, in essence, it is just a group of thieves who claim to be "righteous thieves". These people have only achieved the basic goal of economic freedom and have begun to pursue a higher level of life values.
Of course, in terms of their craftsmanship, they are indeed the top elites in the industry; Therefore, there is no problem at all in sneaking into this Gusu City, which is relaxed on the outside and tight on the inside.
Qin Qiu's plan was also very simple, even a little rough. It's just that after first exterminating the elites of the more than 120 worry-relieving armies and confiscating the heavy weapons in their hands, they went straight to the Gusu Mansion and rescued Lin Siwei. However, considering that the combat effectiveness of the Nankang soldiers is not high, and the defenders in the city are several grades lower than the elite border army; So even if the plan is a little simpler and crude, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The permanent population of Gusu City is not large, and the number of local people who have ascended the throne is about 400,000. However, the prosperity of commerce will naturally bring about the problem of increasing the floating population; Therefore, this mere figure of 400,000 is probably far from the real situation.
Moreover, before the war on the Huayu Continent, the Nankang Imperial Court was making every effort to reform the household registration system, and the registration books of the prefectures and counties were a mess; Now dozens of bird thieves have infiltrated Gusu City, which is really no less than a handful of sand sprinkled into the Yu River, and they can't even turn up a little wave.
The combat effectiveness of the Relief Army is indeed extraordinary, but they are not professional secret spies after all, and in this kind of underground battlefield where there is no sword light, it is impossible for them to be the opponent of Bainiao. It can be seen that in fact, since Zhao Caishen was injured, Shen Ju is not as calm as before; I believe that they can find out the hidden dangers in Gusu City, and they are completely ill and rushed to the doctor.
Until late at night, the front of the yamen of Gusu Mansion was still brightly lit. Gusu guard Liu Kechen was neatly dressed and armored, and his right hand pressed the handle of Yanling on his waist, and he was standing in front of the palace gate with full attention.
Not long after the sound of the husband announcing the time fell, there was a commotion from the corner of the street. General Liu frowned, drew his knife with his backhand, and reminded the brothers behind him in a low voice:
"There is a situation! Cheer me up! ”
After listening to this, a colonel of the Gusu garrison opened his mouth and yawned, and replied to him disappreciatively:
"Ha~ I said Liu Tou, can you not always be surprised? At the beginning of the day, you came to such a show, and it turned out that he was an old man who sold supper, and how fragrant was that basket of three Ding buns! Just now, a dirt dog ran past the street, and you must have said that a thief sent it to throw stones and ask for directions; We chased the guy for three or four streets, and finally got it stuck in a dead end; As a result, the arm of the brain shell was bitten by it! I said you're an old man, okay! If you scare people like this again, the thief will not be recruited, and the brothers will be tossed to death first! ”
General Liu frowned, continued to stare in the direction where the voice came from, and scolded the unofficial lieutenant:
"You know what! This errand is extraordinary, and we may not be successful in doing it well, but if we do it badly, our brothers will not be able to eat and walk around! ”
"Hey, it's also his fault for this, Elder Shen, it's really a bit eccentric. The bastards of the Worry Relief Army all have silver flowers and kung fu to fool around in the city; But look at our local gentlemen, not only did they not even catch a piece of bullshit, but they also had to stand on the street like a group of fools, poke at the door of the night, and pour a cold wind into their stomachs! If you want me to say, this shit is a fucking can't be done! ”
"That's it! General Liu, why don't you go and tell us about ......"
"It's all a family errand, we can't work and suffer, they eat, drink and have fun!"
Just when this group of Gusu soldiers was angry and denounced Shen Ju's unfairness, the group of people at the corner of the street was getting closer and closer. It didn't take long for them to reveal their true colors from the gauzy night dew. The little colonel who owed his mouth stretched his neck and bent his eyes, and after seeing the clothes of these people clearly, he immediately turned his head and spat at the mouth:
"Phew! It's really unlucky, just stole an offering fruit, and turned around and hit the ghost. ”
It turned out that this group of people who were laughing and shouting at each other were all wearing the standard fish scale armor of the Worry Relief Army, and they were carrying a Yanling steel knife with a handle on their waists, which was obviously the Worry Relief Army favored by Shen Ju! Looking at their virtues, they should all be drunk; Especially the uncle who walked in the front, both legs began to mix garlic!
Although the weapons of the soldiers of the two armies look similar, they are all Nankang standard knives researched by the Tianji Workshop; Judging from the ornamentation attached to the scabbard, the Gusu soldiers took the "foreign order goods" that were distributed to private blacksmith shops by the Nankang Imperial Court; But the guys who solve the worries of the army are all from the top quality of the Tianji Workshop!
Liu Kechen looked at the guy on his waist, and then looked down at his own goods, his eyes were about to bleed! He squeezed a cold snort out of his nose, walked forward quickly, and just wanted to scold the other party; But instead, he was hit headlong by the staggering and thin soldier of Anxiety Relief:
"Hiccup...... I'm really sorry, brother... The wine is all over you... Hey... I...... Belch! I'll wipe you clean...... I'll wipe you ......."
The drunken man of the Worry Relief Army, while apologizing, stretched out his hand and kept rubbing Liu Kechen's armor; And Liu Kechen also stretched out his hand to stop him with a disgusted face, and the two of them "flew with their fists and feet" for a while, and their mouths kept talking nonsense about chickens and ducks.
The two were entangled together, but the other sergeants seemed to have completely forgotten about this daredevil, and no one looked back, and continued to laugh and walk forward.
Liu Kechen's location is not far from the front of the yamen of Gusu Mansion; But because this group of drunks was too noisy, the Gusu soldiers standing in front of the door didn't hear what Liu Kechen was saying to the other party; They could only see that the two sides were constantly exchanging arms, and the verbal exchanges were becoming more and more frequent, as if a trace of anger had been born......
Don't look at the little colonel's disrespectful words, but now that he saw his own general Liu Kechen fighting with the people of the Worry Liberation Army, he immediately raised his hand and shouted at the same time:
"Brothers, Liu Tou is going to suffer! Come up with me and beat up these bunnies! ”
The use of the word "beating" could not be more appropriate. Because according to Nankang's military law, if there is a private fight between the two armies, as long as there are no fatalities, in fact, the level of the team does not matter. For example, although the Relief Army is a first-class army, the Gusu Mansion soldiers are a third-class army; But at the moment, the blame for drinking too much and making trouble is the culprit, after all, it is the people who relieve the worries of the army! Even if it really makes a big deal in the future, as long as no one dies without using the knife, it has little to do with their Gusu soldiers.!
After his greeting, there were more than 100 Gusu soldiers inside and outside the palace! These unworthy brothers took a look and saw that the worry-relieving army who was "communicating" with Liu Kechen had already begun to "greet" their general's face, and a cloud of anger immediately rose in their hearts!
"That's too bullying! Brothers, beat these bunnies, I'm going to have an accident! ”
I don't know who shouted such a sentence in the crowd, which can be regarded as completely stirring up the fighting spirit of the soldiers of Gusu Mansion. The little colonel took the lead, swung his fist on the bridge of the nose of a worry-relieving soldier, and directly hit a red! Although the other party drank too much, his brain was not completely confused! The nose hurts, the blood is first-class, and the wine is more than half awake......
In this way, the two sides made a mess in front of the yamen of Gusu Mansion.
The combat effectiveness of the Relief Army is indeed extraordinary, but after all, the number of people is too small, and they all drink too much, so they can only maintain a stalemate; As for the master who rushed to hear the noise, when he saw this lively scene, he didn't even say a word of persuasion, and immediately turned around and reported to the prefect who lived in the outer wing.
The name of the Gusu prefect is Xie Ruchang, and he is a capable person who is both civil and military. Recently, because the back house of the government was forcibly requisitioned by Shen Ju, he has not been very happy. After dark tonight, he was tossing and turning on the bed in the outer wing; It wasn't until he was a child that he had just cultivated a rare sense of sleep. Now that he was stirred up by the master like this, he immediately jumped up from the bed angrily!
"The Worry Relief Army also dares to fight, Liu Kechen is going crazy the?"
After scolding Liu Kechen, Governor Xie casually took out a medium-sized three-eyed fire gun from the bed box. Then, he wore a white flowery middle coat, carried the new "small artillery" of the Tianji Workshop on his shoulders, and walked to the front of the government in a big way.
Xie Ruchang is a decisive person, he saw that the melee in front of the door could not be opened, so he didn't persuade or shout, and directly raised his head to the sky and opened a fire.
After hearing a loud "bang", the melee of hundreds of people immediately came to a standstill; And Xie Ruchang stretched out his hand to untie the tong bar hanging from the gun, and after quickly clearing the gun, he refilled a cannon unhurriedly, and raised his hand to point directly at the middle of the crowd:
"Go on! I'm going to have to kill a few of them anyway, so I'm taking this opportunity to test how powerful this thing is. ”
After an awkward silence, Liu Kechen, who was also inexplicable, just wanted to open his mouth to defend something, and Governor Xie immediately fired another shot into the sky!
Boom!
"Don't you like to fight? I don't understand when I say "continue", do you? Come on, come on, I'm here today as a witness, when you've had enough, when will we finish! But Liu Kechen, I can tell you that the soldiers of our Gusu City can fight privately, but they can't defeat the battle! Since you are the general defending the city, you have to be responsible for killing this group of worry-relieving troops in Gusu for me, and running out of a living mouth, you are not a good man! ”
Governor Xie said the opposite in a weird way, and secretly waved his hand at the master, signaling him to bring the Worry Relief Army into the mansion hall; And he sat on the steps in front of the palace with a big grin, ready to start speaking.
None of them, however, saw it, just as the scuffle broke out in front of the door; In the direction of the side courtyard of the mansion, a black shadow suddenly flashed! The opponent's body was decided, and not only did he not make any sound when he landed; Instead, he rolled directly into the dungeon of the yaguan in the corner by the action of unloading......
