Chapter 336: Fighting to the Death at the City Gate

When the imperial envoy Yu Lize County issued a grain requisition document to the prefectures and counties, officials from all over the country heard the wind and raised grain for shipment. But the bad thing is that the team of Liangshan Manor went out to rob the grain, and many of the requisitioned grain were robbed halfway, which cheapened Liangshan in vain.

In the afternoon of this day, a grain transport team came to the east gate of Leize County, and five or six hundred people were carrying three or four thousand stones of grain and grass.

The officers and soldiers defending the city were greatly surprised when they heard this, and the grain transported from other places was repeatedly robbed by the Liangshan bandits, so why the Yuncheng County grain transportation team near the edge of the thieves' den was safe and sound, and they were full of doubts and did not dare to call the shots, so they hurriedly reported to their superiors.

Tong Guan soon heard the news, and he immediately ordered the escort officer to be brought over. After a while, I saw a middle-aged man come in outside, and I saw that he was tall and strong, with a tiger beard, a face like a heavy jujube, and eyes like stars, as if Guan Yunchang was reincarnated.

It's a good look! Tong Guan couldn't help but praise himself when he saw it, so he asked:

"Who are you? How to put the grain and grass here? ”

"Prime Minister of the Cardinal, Zhu Tong, the governor of Xiayuncheng County, was ordered by the county to escort 3,500 stones of grain and grass to Lei Ze, and now he has arrived outside the East City Gate, please check the receipts and pay the order."

"There's no need to hurry, Ben Xiang asked you, he was harassed by Liangshan Caokou when he delivered grain, why did you come from Liangshan all the way without incident?"

"That's what happened! The good teacher knows that my county order is worried that Liangshan Caokou will do evil, but before he came, he went down to Gujiazhuang and detained dozens of people from the Gu clan, so he let out a rumor, saying that if there is harassment, he will take his clan to blame. ”

This is a good idea for Yuncheng County! When Tong Guan heard this, his impression of this Shizhi County changed greatly, and he ordered his relatives to bring his warrant to the grain team into the city.

Outside Dongcheng, a long convoy of Yuncheng County finally entered the county seat under the escort of hundreds of people and people. The officers and soldiers still seemed to be at ease, and hundreds of people followed them all the way to the warehouse, and did not relax until they were all put into the warehouse after acceptance.

And that Zhu Dutou is very good at being a man, he pulled the blind date who had been with him, saying that hundreds of brothers had worked hard all the way, and they hadn't eaten a hot meal yet, so they wanted to have a meal in the city and then set off. The relatives didn't agree, but when they looked at the heavy bags of silver and saw that they were a group of unarmed people, they agreed.

After a few hours, the men filled their stomachs and went out of the city satisfied, but no one really cared whether there was any change in the personnel.

Let's say that in a small village on the border between Raize County and Jeju, a group of strangers live these days, and the villagers are happily vacating their houses for good pay, regardless of where they come from.

Gu Haotian and Xu Guanzhong actually set off together with the grain transportation team from Yuncheng County. After Shi Wenbin agreed to Zhang Shuye's request, the first thing he thought of was Zhu Tong, he knew a little about the relationship between this person and Gu Haotian, so after returning to the Ya, he called him over to talk.

Zhu Tong was a clever man, and the information revealed between the words of his boss immediately reminded him of the great battle in the west of the city and his friendship with that petty official. In fact, he himself was also taken aback by the power suddenly displayed by Liangshan Manor, the 100,000 imperial army was actually destroyed in an instant in front of him, how much strength should there be on that island in the lake! He has been wanting to know the truth for the past few days, he thought that with his friendship with that little official in the past few years, if he proposed to be a guest in his manor, he would not refuse, but he also knew that he had to make a choice before this, otherwise he would not be embarrassed to speak. That evening, when Shi Wenbin was talking to him, he noticed that the magistrate of the imperial court had also defected, and he immediately had no psychological burden and responded in one bite.

Then the grain transportation team of Yuncheng County became

After the grain transportation team of Liangshan Manor, Gu Haotian and others also set off, and after falling into the small place selected by the intelligence department, they stopped and stopped.

On the evening of that day, Zhu Tong sent a message with someone quickly, saying that Lei Ze had done it. Everyone was settled, and Gu Haotian immediately summoned his entourage to discuss the battle plan.

Xu Guanzhong, as the chief of staff, was the first to speak: "We have already decided the plan to attack Lei Ze City, and now the first step has been successful, the current concern is how to send the troops to the city by surprise, the water is less than a day away from this fast boat, we immediately send a letter back, they will set off tomorrow night, and arrive at about tomorrow evening, and here to Lei Ze is about half a day away, with the physical strength of our escort team, we will be able to arrive within two hours, it is around the ugly time, but it is the best time to capture the city." ”

"What Director Xu said is true, but I also have to tell Battalion Commander Zhou Yunqing that if the cardinal escapes, you must save some face and not intercept him, such a 'good official', in my opinion, it is better to return it to the imperial court."

Wu Yong's mind is a little insidious. However, from the perspective of the opposing sides, Gu Haotian is also willing to let the high-level of the imperial court have more such "good officials", but it is inconvenient for him to say it clearly. But Xu Guanzhong already understood, and saw him quip:

"Director Wu is soft-hearted, but such a good official should really be returned to the court, otherwise it will be a big loss to the Chai family."

The two voices burst into laughter, and then orders were sent everywhere overnight.

At the beginning of the second night, the 5th Battalion of Infantry arrived at the small village on time, with a total of 10,000 men in the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Battalions. In Gu Haotian's temporary residence, Sun An, Ma Lin, Shangguanyi, Zhu Jing, Wu Song, Lu Cheng, Zheng Yuanjue, Yang Xiong, Li Kui, and Bao Xu were ten chief and deputy battalion commanders, as well as Zhou Yunqing and Su Ding of the first cavalry battalion, Wang Yu and Geng Gong of the fifth battalion, and relevant personnel crowded the entire house.

Gu Haotian looked around at everyone and asked solemnly: "Is it difficult for the infantry to set off in the middle of the sea and arrive at the city of Lei Ze in two hours?" ”

"Nope!"

More than a dozen people immediately responded in unison.

"Very well, the attack was launched on time in the middle of the ugly hour, the infantry attacked the east gate, and the 1st and 5th cavalry battalions first feinted to attack the south and north gates, and then set up ambushes in the west. Time is pressing, so let's go back and prepare. ”

Gu Haotian looked at the people who were eager to try, and he was very satisfied. But Xu Guanzhong stopped Zhou Yunqing and Wang Yu and quietly confessed something.

It was the turn of the night, and a long black dragon gradually appeared on the eastern outskirts of Razor City, about five miles away from the city, and they stopped in turn in the wilderness.

"Shangguan Battalion Commander, it seems that the past two years have not been wasted in Crouching Tiger Village, and there has been no next step in two hours."

The fourth battalion has been following behind the second battalion, and their performance Sun An saw it in his eyes, and then whispered to Shangguan Yi beside him.

"It is precisely because of being outside the manor that Brother Zhu Jing and I dare not relax at all, for fear that there is too much difference between us and the brothers on the mountain, it seems that it is okay tonight, but it does not disgrace the two of us."

Shangguan Yi seemed to reply casually, but it was difficult to hide his pride in his tone, he also came here tonight after a hard fight, if he lost face in front of the brother battalion, then he didn't have to open his mouth to fight in the future.

"When the hour came, the battalions immediately attacked, the second battalion attacked in the first wave, and the other battalions entered the city in turn to go to their targets."

At this time, Xu Guanzhong, the on-site commander who came with the army, gave the order to attack, and then the battalions jumped out of the night and went straight to the west city gate.

In Lei Ze City, Shi Wengong got the news from Shi Qian in the afternoon. Yesterday, they pretended to be people who delivered food and infiltrated the city, and then took the opportunity to eat, under the cover of the intelligence department, more than 100 people quietly lurked. At about the ugly time of the night, he and Gu Bo took all the members of his team to replace the surrendered soldiers

military uniforms, sneaked near the east city gate on time, but found that the defense force at the city gate was much more than they expected, the number of officers and soldiers guarding the city gate reached four or five hundred, and the nearby city guard barracks were also close at hand.

What to do! Seeing that the time for the attack was approaching step by step, Shi Wengong couldn't help but be anxious.

"Battalion commander, now we can only mix in first, we are wearing the clothes of officers and soldiers, they can't recognize it for a while, just wait for the siege outside, and then we will take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate." At this time, Gu Bo said on the side.

"The two brothers Gu Bo and Lei Jiong will lead people into the city tower and put down the moat, and the brothers Di Cheng and I will seize the city gate."

Shi Wengong thought for a while and had no other tricks, and immediately made a division of labor, and then more than 100 people swaggered towards the city gate.

"There's someone out of town!"

When he was approaching the city gate, someone shouted at the head of the city, and then he heard the sound of the gong, and the head of the city was instantly in chaos.

"Do it!"

Shi Wengong let out a deep shout, and at that moment, more than 100 people were divided into two teams and rushed towards the target.

At the gate of the city, the sudden sound of the alarm made the soldiers guarding the gate panic. At this time, dozens of officers and soldiers just came over, and they all thought it was a friendly reinforcement and didn't care at all. It's just unexpected that these people were so impermanent that they were unguarded, and more than ten people in the city gate cave were killed in an instant. And just as everyone was about to open the door, they saw an official surrounded by dozens of people coming from afar.

"Brother Di Cheng, the city gate is all handed over to you, as long as the outer moat bridge falls, open the door immediately, there are too many officers and soldiers, we are only counting the time, and we will ask for some."

Shi Wengong confessed, and then turned to guard in front of the city gate.

Seeing that group of officers and soldiers approaching the city gate step by step, but there was no movement in the city tower above, the dozens of special battalion members at the city gate only felt their hearts tightened. The corner of Shi Wengong's eyes kept sweeping over the more than ten corpses by the door, and the spear in his palm almost came out of the water, just when the group of officers and soldiers were more than ten steps away from the city gate, there was a muffled sound of "bang" outside the door that he suddenly heard, and his heart instantly relaxed. At this time, the door behind him also "rattled" open.

"Brothers, the time has come for our special battalion to become famous, two quarters of an hour! No one can take half a step back! ”

Shi Wengong shouted, and took a step forward to stand in front of him. The rest immediately formed a conical defensive formation on either side of it.

"There are spies! Hurry up and take the door! ”

The abnormal movement at the gate of the city immediately frightened the group of officers and soldiers, and the leading general immediately shouted loudly, and then a group of people rushed over with a "coax".

Shi Wengong had long been staring at the general who was leading the team, and when he got close to the five-foot spear, he immediately dressed him into a blood gourd, and the others saw that the enemy was so brave, and their steps were frightened, but there were too many people behind them, but they couldn't help but rush forward.

So the bloody battle at the gate of the city began, Shi Wengong spear danced like a windmill, there was no one within five feet in front of him, Di Cheng took a long knife to fight fires everywhere, trying to maintain the defensive line, but in front of a steady stream of officers and soldiers, no matter how strong the martial arts, there was also a strong time.

Two quarters of an hour! The two quarters of an hour that were extremely difficult finally arrived, and less than half of the people who could stand and fight at the gate of the city were already standing, even Shi Wengong felt that his arm was a little disobedient, and at this time, the whistling sound outside the city still did not come.

"The special battalion has advanced and retreated!"

Shi Wengong shouted, and then took a step forward, and the spear once again picked out clouds of blood mist in front of him.

The rest of the people also followed closely, shouting in unison:

"The special battalion has advanced and retreated!"

The sound of death, but the city gate was buzzing.
