In the middle of the night, everything was silent, the stars and the moon were far away, the universe was dark, and the five fingers could not be seen, and Yongning City was shrouded in a terrifying and strange atmosphere.

The Heavenly Mandate Army outside the city, perhaps tired, fell asleep early, and the camp was silent, although there was a little spark, but in addition to the soldiers on duty, even the rangers were gone.

The Ming army in the city was also already asleep, and only a few soldiers were left at the head of each city to monitor the movement outside the city, maybe they thought that the Mandate of Heaven army would not attack at night, or maybe it was too cold outside, they shrank in the leeward place behind the city wall, occasionally looking down from the battlement, as long as there was no movement under the city, they could continue to warm up together.

He Xiaomi quietly approached Li Zicheng's big tent, did not light the lamp, and whispered in the dark: "Metropolitan Governor, it's almost time!" ”

Li Zicheng opened his eyes, but he couldn't even see He Xiaomi's shadow, yawned, and also whispered: "How are the brothers preparing?" ”

"The brothers outside Dongcheng have already gotten up, they are ready for everything, and General Li Ji will personally command!"

"Is there any movement in the city?"

"Not yet, not even the city!"

Li Zicheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Li Ji is a veteran and has rich combat experience, let's not worry about it, sleep first, and then enter the city after dawn." ”

He Xiaomi didn't speak again, just quietly withdrew, covered the rolling curtain, and disappeared into the darkness.

In the county jail of Yongning City, several black-clothed people walked lightly, they seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of the prison, although they moved quickly, they did not make a sound, and when they reached the door of the prison, they used a blade to pry open the latch, and the two jailers were sleeping on the square table and clothes, and on the upper right of the jailer, there was a lamp, emitting a faint dark yellow light.

The men in black gestured to each other and quietly leaned over, two of them, holding knives in their hands, hid behind them, and walked towards the jailer at the same time, with a steady pace, but the toes landed gently, and the sleeping jailer was unconscious.

Walking behind the two jailers, the two men in black suddenly burst out, their scimitars raised, and they slammed down, the two heads rolled to the side, and the blood stained the square table a blood-red......

The man in black who dragged him at the back had been watching coldly, turned around and closed the prison door at this time, and then came to the two of them, whispering two words, one of the men in black searched for the key from the jailer's body, and the other man in black took off the oil lamp on the wall, and the three of them walked to the cell in front together.

The cell was quiet and empty, even if the oil lamp was lit, it was very gloomy, and the three black-clothed men walked with long steps to the outside of the fence of the cell, knocking on the fence with the back of their knives, and obviously skimming their voices, "All the prisoners in custody get up quickly, you are free!" ”

"Free?" Two people looked out through the fence, and soon three or four more people gathered, but they were not in the same cell, and when they saw the man in black, their faces showed doubt, "Who are you?" ”

"We are members of the Heavenly Mandate Army, that is, the rogue in the mouth of the imperial court," a man in black raised the keychain in his hand, "If you are willing to come out, I will open the prison door for you!" ”

"Manifest Destiny?" The two who woke up first glanced at each other, and one said, "Why do you say that you are the Mandate of Heaven Army?" ”

"In these years, there are still people pretending to be rogues?" The leader of the men in black sneered, "Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Mandate Army? ”

"I've heard that it is said that the Tianming Army occupies Sichuan," the man said, "When did the Heavenly Mandate Army come to Henan?" ”

"The Mandate of Heaven Army is here to rescue all the people, there is a great drought in Henan, the people are starving all over the land, and the Mandate of Heaven Army will naturally come to Henan," the leader of the men in black said: "If you are willing to come out, raise your right hand, don't make a move!" ”

The prisoners hesitated for a while, but the two who woke up first raised their hands and whispered, "We are willing to go out, we have had enough of this prison!" ”

The leader of the men in black nodded, and someone stepped forward and opened the cell door, and the two bowed down to the man in black, "Thank you for saving the man!" ”

"Don't thank me, I don't know you," said the leader of the men in black: "If you want to thank us, thank us Dadudu, it is Dadu who wants to save the world!" ”

"The Grand Duke?" The two of them were stunned for a moment, "Who is your Grand Governor?" ”

"If there is fate, we will always meet," the leader of the men in black smiled indifferently, "It seems that you have been wronged, what have you done?" ”

"I didn't do anything," one of them said: "We were originally a hundred household officials in the army, but we were ...... because of the failure to conquer the 'Yidou Valley' and the loss of many brothers."

Taking advantage of this time, the man in black had already opened several cells, and five or six people came out of the cells one after another, two of them limped, and the injuries on their bodies were obviously not light, and the leader of the men in black just looked at the two people in front of him, "You are soldiers?" Or a hundred household officials? ”

"You ......" both of their faces changed color, and they unconsciously took a step back until they were stopped by the prisoner behind them.

"Don't get me wrong, the Mandate of Heaven Army is different from the Liukou, we don't kill officials, besides, Baihu is not a big official, most of the governors said, only there are no homicides, they are all people, but some people are people with relatively wealthy families," the leader of the man in black suddenly smiled, and said: "You have committed such a crime, you can never go back to the army, I will give you a future, I don't know if you have the guts?" ”

"The future? People like us, do they still have a future? ”

"In the eyes of the imperial court, you naturally will not have a future," said the leader of the men in black, "Don't forget, we are not from the imperial court, we belong to the Heavenly Mandate Army!" ”

"I understand," the sturdy tall man in front thought for a moment, glanced at his companion, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "Lao Tzu is fed up, his stomach is not full, and he asked Lao Tzu to fight a bucket of valleys, and Lao Tzu followed the Heavenly Mandate Army to do ......"

"To tell you the truth, joining the Mandate of Heaven Army, you may not have a good future, the Mandate of Heaven Army has Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan three provinces, and now occupies a small half of Henan, there is no shortage of sergeants, there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers, no less than 300,000 reserve soldiers," the leader of the man in black said: "In the Mandate of Heaven Army, if you want a future, the only way is to make meritorious service, and you have joined the Mandate of Heaven Army for several years, because there is no miracle work, and now you are just the chief flag officer!" ”

"Military exploits?" The tall man said, "How can I make meritorious service?" You weren't ...... just now."

"I did say it just now, and now there is a great merit here, it depends on whether you have the guts," the leader of the men in black estimated that the big black man was a person who was easily excited, so he said leisurely: "Do you know, there are only three of us, why can we break into the cell?" ”

"Yes......"

"That's because the county government garrison is empty," the leader of the black-clothed man said with a smile: "The main force of the Five Thousand Heavenly Mandate Army has already surrounded Yongning City, and Wu Dalie, the county magistrate, took all the soldiers, servants, and catchers to guard the city gate......"

"I see, no wonder you can hear the sound of cannons in the cell," said the big black man, "I thought Itogu was coming, but there is no artillery ...... Itogoku"

"Do you dare to come to attack the city, a group of rabble...... the leader of the men in black glanced at the prisoners in front of him, it is estimated that there are more than ten people, he is happy in his heart, but his face does not change color, but he said to the big black man: "In order to defend the city, Wu Dalie sealed all the city gates with stones, and the Heavenly Mandate Army outside the city could not enter the city...... It's not that you can't enter the city, the Metropolitan Governor has always been sympathetic to his brothers, and he is unwilling to storm it, lest the brothers be killed or injured, if you help us seize the city and open the city gates, it will be a miracle, and the Metropolitan Governor will definitely reward you! ”

The big black man and his brother glanced at each other, both of them nodded, and the black lord turned around and said to the leader of the men in black: "We have thought about it, and it is better to follow the Heavenly Mandate Army, than to suffer in prison!" ”

"Good!" The leader of the men in black said, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Niu Kejing, and I was originally an officer of 100 households in the army," Niu Kejing pointed to his shorter companion again, and said: "This is my brother, named Wei Ziming, who was originally from 100 households!" ”

"Cow respectable? Wei Ziming? The leader of the men in black glanced at them and said, "Have you thought about it?" ”

Although Wei Ziming was shorter than Niu Kejing, he was still taller than ordinary prisoners, he arched his hands and saluted, and said, "Don't worry, since our brother agrees to join the Heavenly Mandate Army, he will definitely not regret it!" ”

The leader of the men in black nodded, and looked forward, at this time all the cell doors had been opened, and at least twelve or thirteen people could be seen, "Have any of you ever participated in the army?" Would you like to join the Celestial Destiny Army? ”

Everyone was at a loss, and they didn't speak.

Niu Kejing was anxious, turned back to these prisoners and said, "Be grateful, it was the Mandate of Heaven that saved you, otherwise you would still want to get out of the cell alive?" Pointing to the two seriously injured prisoners behind him, he said, "Look, this is a good thing that the government has done......

The leader of the men in black felt that Niu Kejing had said a little too much, and the people in the prison may not all be capital crimes, so as not to be self-defeating, he hurriedly said: "Niu Baihu, don't force it, the Mandate of Heaven Army will never embarrass the people, the Metropolitan Governor came to Yongning from Nanyang and Ruzhou, and everywhere he went, the people along the way were properly settled, and the people who had no food were distributed by the Mandate of Heaven Army to provide disaster relief in place of the imperial court......" and arched his hand to them, saying: "Whether to enter the Mandate of Heaven Army, it is up to you to decide, although we have rescued you from the prison, But I won't force you! ”

"Will the Mandate of Heaven really provide disaster relief to the people?"

"Will the Mandate of Heaven protect the people?"

"Why didn't you know about the Mandate of Heaven before?"

……

Niu Kejing was still waiting to speak, but he was stopped by Wei Ziming and made another look.

The leader of the men in black said: "Once you get out of the cell, you will soon see the Heavenly Mandate Army, and you will know what kind of people the Heavenly Mandate Army is!" ”

"Okay, it's better for me to join the Mandate of Heaven Army than to eat prison every day!"

"I'm also joining the Mandate of Heaven Army, anti-fucking!"

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around......"

……

"Shh The leader of the man in black raised a finger at the side of his mouth and asked everyone to silence, "There may still be some defenders in the county office, let's go out quietly!" ”

At this time, another man in black said: "There are two other people in the cell, they are seriously injured and cannot walk at all......

The leader of the men in black frowned and said, "You go and ask them, if they are willing to go out, you go out behind their backs!" ”

Niu Kejing finally couldn't help it, and said: "We are going to snatch the city gate, bring them, will it be a burden......

The leader of the men in black glanced at him and said, "The Governor told us that if we believe in our people, we must not fail them, and only if we have the people in our hearts, the people will trust us!" After a pause, he said: "They can't walk or fight now, and when they leave the county office, we will first place them in the shadows, and then we will look for them when the Heavenly Mandate Army enters the city." ”

Niu Kejing had yet to say more, but Wei Ziming hurriedly stopped it with his gaze.
