Chapter 478 Escape from prison

Even though there are more than 300 county soldiers in Jinhe City and more than 50 jailers in the county prison, there is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days.

Xuzhou not only provided detailed intelligence support, but also directly participated in the formulation and implementation of specific plans by a group of elite personnel such as Diao Blind and Pei Pu, and even transported the necessary blades, armor and some equipment into the city in batches.

Although Jinhe Castle is dilapidated, the county prison built next to the northern city wall is the most heavily guarded place.

In addition to the north side of the county prison close to the north city wall, the other three courtyard walls are all rammed earth walls three feet thick and more than two zhang high, with sharp broken porcelain tiles inserted into the top of the wall, and guard towers at the four corners.

Tan Yuliang and the others gathered together Zhang Guangli and Dong Qing before, and there were only more than 30 people.

If they want to break through the main gate of the county prison with a structure similar to the urn city, the casualties will be difficult to control, and the time will be delayed, and the defenders of the city will soon be reinforced from all directions, and they will be in a desperate situation of being isolated.

The final plan, in addition to contacting Dong Tai, Dong Ping, Zhang Guangli and others who were imprisoned through the jailers who secretly participated in the robbery, on the one hand, organized the prisoners who could be trusted in the prison first and prepared them, and on the other hand, occupied a courtyard near the county jail, and took advantage of the night to use winches and giant ropes to directly pull and collapse the three-foot-thick rammed earth prison wall.

Nearly 500 prisoners were agitated, gushing out of the gap like a tidal wave.

Even if Tan Yuliang and Dong Qing had already sent people into the prison to make contact, in order to avoid leaking the news, it was impossible to notify and organize every prisoner in the prison.

The walls of the prison collapsed, and some people set fire to the city, and the jailers were at a loss for a moment, and the prisoners ran around screaming and screaming, and some people shouted everywhere that the horse thieves were attacking the city, and the city soon fell into chaos.

Except for the part of the people who were greeted in advance, most of the prison prisoners who were kept in the dark fell into chaos and excitement, the fire was faint in the night, everyone desperately escaped through the gap, except for the prisoners who had been contacted for a long time, where did the others listen to Tan Yuliang and Dong Qing at this time?

Most of them rushed straight to the nearest North Gate, trying to escape from the North Gate, while many were trying to find a place to hide in the city.

In short, the situation was like a pot of porridge for a while, a mess.

Tan Yuliang: They gathered more than 100 people at the beginning.

In addition to Dong Qing and Zhang Guangli's previous preparations, Tan Yuliang and the others also brought more than 20 sets of swords and armor into the city, hid in the city for several days, and made an additional batch of wooden shields and bamboo spears, which were hidden in the courtyard next to the county prison.

More than 100 people were equipped as quickly as possible, and then they went along the long street to the west gate, where the defense was weakest.

There are benefits to chaos.

Nearly 500 prisoners, most of whom went to the north gate to kill, set fire to kill and wound the guards, and snatched weapons and armor, and the momentum was extremely large in a short period of time.

This made the county officials and defenders in the city also judge for the first time that the north city gate was a breakthrough for the troublesome prisoners to escape from the city.

In addition to the more than 100 guards and more than 50 jailers near the North City Gate, the other three cities also drew troops and horses as much as possible to reinforce the North City as quickly as possible.

Tan Yuliang and more than 100 of them, under the cover of night and chaos, became a less obvious target, and it was not until they approached the inside of the west city gate that they were discovered by the defenders at the head of the city.

However, at this time, there was only half a team of only twenty-five or six guards left in the West City Gate, and the generals were still on guard and did not leave their posts without permission.

Not to mention that Tan Yuliang, Tan Xiuqun, and the sons and nephews of the Tan family are all brave, Dong Tai, Dong Ping, Dong Qing, Zhang Guangdeng, Zhang Guangli and other smugglers who regard the state government as the leader of the salt lord to crack down, how many of them are not strong men with strong martial arts?

Salt owl rivers and lakes, in the final analysis, still fight with fists and strength to speak.

Although there was no rule, but there were many people, everyone raised their long knives and short spears, raised their shields and long lances, and swarmed up, stabbing and chopping in a mess, and killed the Xicheng defenders, who were less than one-fifth of them, like birds and beasts.

After that, everyone opened the west city with all hands and feet, and they didn't dare to make any stay in the city, so they bombarded out of the city and fled to the east foot of Panlong Ridge first.

There is no ready-made post road or gallop road in the depths of the eastern foot of Panlong Ridge, as long as the path between the grass is submerged, everyone can not walk fast when they touch the black depth and shallow foot.

After walking for more than an hour, when the distant sky in the east revealed a touch of fish belly white, Tan Yuliang and the others climbed a broken ridge and hid in the woods, only to find that they had only escaped from Jinhe City for only fourteen or fifteen miles.

At this time, a group of cavalry, holding torches high, and about two or three hundred people could be seen from a distance, and they had rushed to the east gate of Jinhe City from the direction of Hujian Pass.

At this time, if there are no prisoners who can escape from the city, they will naturally have no chance to escape again.

No matter how brave the salt owl is, without armor, he has no chance to escape the siege and killing of the elite cavalry under Yang Shouyi.

Of course, Tan Yuliang and the others were the first to open the west city gate, and there were quite a few prisoners in the city who saw that they were in a mess and stormed the north city gate, so they turned their heads and fled to the west city gate.

At this time, almost hundreds of prisoners were told to get rid of the bullet pressure of the guards and jailers, and escaped from the West City Gate, almost eight or nine miles behind Tan Yuliang and them, and they were also fleeing to the depths of the eastern foot of Panlong Ridge.

The reinforcements who galloped from Hujian Pass did not enter the city from the east gate, but directly bypassed the open field in the north and rushed straight to the west of the city.

"Let's go, this is not a place to stay for a long time, we have to go into the depths of Panlong Ridge in order to get down safely." Tan Yuliang said.

At this time, the riot in the city should have been almost suppressed, more than 200 elite horsemen did not enter the city, and they could know their main task by breaking their toes, and they had changed from suppressing the riot in the county prison to chasing and suppressing fugitives from the city.

The most and densest number of prisoners who escaped out of the West City Gate to the depths of Panlong Ridge were the most dense, and the ghosts could guess where the direction of the main pursuit of the Fan Cavalry was.

There are more than 100 of them, although there are many good players, but in the end they are a rabble.

If they were caught up by more than 200 elite horsemen, they would be thankful that half of them would survive, let alone talk about any big plans.

The five fugitives who were cut by the guards and jailers in the chaos of the escape, re-bandaged their wounds, and the others also took dried meat, wheat cakes and mountain spring water to satisfy their hunger, and then quickly dressed in the dense forest behind the broken ridge, hastily covered their footprints, and continued to flee to the depths of Panlong Ridge - in the middle of summer, the mountains are lush with vegetation, and the traces of hundreds of people trampling on them are difficult to hide, and they are more likely to choose dangerous places where horses are difficult to climb, so as to widen the distance from the pursuers.

When they walked all the way to the high places, they could still see the escaped prisoners who fell behind them, except for those who scattered and fled into the dangerous mountains one step earlier, almost more than fifty people died directly under the knife of the Fancai deserters - it was useless to be caught up and surrendered, the blades of the Fancai's guns stabbed like lightning, and the blood was like a small spring gushing.

Tan Yuliang and the others turned over the Yanying Peak at the eastern foot of Panlong Ridge in the afternoon, and the surrounding terrain became more and more precipitous, and they were sure that Fanqi would never dare to drive straight into it easily, so they relaxed and rested a little - they had escaped for so long on the steep mountain road, and there was no one in most places even on the sheep intestine trail, and most of them were tired and lay down.

"Don't thank you for your kindness, in the future, if Tan Ye has any greetings, whether it is Daoshan or the sea of fire, as long as Dong Tai frowns, he will be raised by a dog!" Dong Tai is a burly and tall man, carrying a heavy bag of things, he walked up to Tan Yuliang and said.

If there were no other plans, they really should have parted ways here.

In this case, even if someone will eventually be pursued, most of the chances of escaping will be much better.

Tan Yuliang looked at the heavy bag in Dong Tai's hand, and knew that it contained a hundred cakes of gold that Dong Qing and Zhang Guangli had come to the door and promised to give.

This is almost the few possessions that Dong Tai and the others can get their hands on.

"After this farewell, where do you plan to go, and what do you plan to do in the future?" Although Tan Yuliang was only forty-six years old, he was tired enough to flee, and he himself knew that his body had already passed its peak, and it would go downhill in the future, so he didn't rush to take the bag of gold, but looked at Dong Tai calmly and asked.

"I don't know, maybe let's take it one step at a time." Dong Tai was in prison five hours ago, and he didn't know if he could escape the fate of beheading.

At this time, he only thought that he could find a ravine with a horn and a ravine to hide in the depths of Panlong Ridge to avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers, and as for what he planned to do in the future, he had not yet considered it.

"Will Dong Ye fall into the grass?" Tan Yuliang asked.

Dong Qing, Zhang Guangli and the others' eyes lit up, as the organization of the rescue, they naturally had a plan to consider the successful rescue, and falling into the grass was the only way out they could think of.

Dong Tai's eyes were still confused.

To be honest, he didn't think that falling into the grass was really a way out.

There are eight mountains, one water and one place in Sizhou, the mountains are continuous and steep, and there are many dangerous places that can be fortified and defended, but the problem is that Sizhou soldiers have grown up in the mountains and fields since childhood, born in Fanzhai, and are very good at fighting mountain warfare, and they are brave and fearless, and they are not weaker than them.

Thirty or fifty of them wanted to set up a village and fall into the grass according to the danger, but Dong Tai didn't think he could hold it for long.

But, then again, what can they do if they don't fall into the grass?

Maybe falling into the grass is the only way they can go at the moment?

However, no matter what, Dong Tai felt that it was enough for Tan Yuliang to help them get to this point, thinking that they could withdraw from Sizhou under the cover of business travel identity while their identities were not exposed, and they were unwilling to continue to drag Tan Yuliang and them down at this time.

"Have you ever thought about it, why people are born to divide the noble thieves, the lord with the surname is not engaged in farming and weaving, but eats fine and wears silk, the inferior people are cheap, trampled and enslaved like livestock, and they are old from life to life, without a day or rest, but they can't eat and clothe," Tan Yuliang stood up and said, "Don't talk about anything else, Dong Ye, you said that in this Panlongling, how many lowly slaves are driven by the lord like animals, and they are really willing to be enslaved and trampled on forever without the slightest resentment?" ”

"Tan Ye, what do you mean?" Dong Tai said with a little confusion in his eyes.

"If you gather together, you will win, and if you disperse, you will lose," Tan Yuliang said firmly, "Everyone patted their butts at this time, parted ways, and hid for a few days to return to their homes. Although we only have more than 100 people now, it is difficult to resist the state soldiers to attack, but thousands of slaves and maids inside and outside Panlongling and the poor people who were trampled under the feet of the big surname, they are full of resentment and resentment for the injustice of the world, as long as we raise our arms and shout, the responders are like clouds, and it will be easy to gather three or five thousand soldiers and horses. ”

Dong Ping, Dong Qing, Zhang Guangli and others had a bright light in their eyes at this moment, and they all came over and persuaded Dong Tai: "Brother Dong, we have no way out, let's follow Tan Ye to do a big job!" ”
