Chapter Ninety-Nine: Night Attack on Qingzhou, Song Jiang's Defeat (1)

Everyone raised their heads one after another, looked at Zhao Gou puzzledly, and asked them to open the city gate with a hundred people, it was simply a fantasy, an impossible task, let them go with a hundred people, it was not enough for the Liangshan army to plug their teeth, and how to open the city gate?

Liu Qi asked, "My lord, do you want a hundred people to go and open the city gate?" Isn't this self-defeating? The Liangshan army is insufficient, and it is impossible to let our army go to open the city gates. ”

Everyone also looked at Zhao Gou in surprise, if they really let them rush forward, nine times out of ten they would be wiped out, and they would be sent to death. However, they felt strange that with Zhao Gou's character, it was impossible for these people to be cannon fodder.

Zhao Gou explained: "You don't have to worry, you won't let you really die in vain!" In addition, I will personally lead you in this operation. ”

Zeng Xiaoyun interrupted: "No! Your Excellency is the commander of an army, how can you take the risk, and you should send someone else to do this. ”

Zhao Gou had made up his mind, and said firmly: "There is no need to say anything about this matter, the mind has been decided, so let's do it." ”

Then, Zhao Gou ordered all 100 people to unload their weapons and equipment and go into battle lightly, all of them only had swords in their hands for self-defense, as well as ropes. Everyone knew that Zhao Gou was preparing to attack Qingzhou City at night, so it was no wonder that he said that he had achieved the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.

In addition, Zhao Gou ordered Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others to lead a team of archers to assist. As for Tang Huai, Wu Lan and others, they led a stormtrooping army, each of whom had good martial arts, and immediately entered the city after the city gate was opened.

Zeng Xiaoyun and others controlled the army, and the first army charged into battle, and the army immediately followed, not to stay, and to capture Qingzhou City in one fell swoop. Everyone obeyed orders and did not dare to refute.

In the end, Zhao Gou personally changed into civilian clothes and blended in with the night. If you don't look closely, it's really hard to spot them.

So, Zhao Gou personally led a team of 100 people, and Zhang Xian also followed it, and secretly came to the city wall at night. Everyone looked up at the high wall, there was nothing to do, and they wondered in their hearts, they didn't know what Zhao Gou thought, this high wall was ten meters high, how could it be easy to pass through.

Zhao Gou lowered his voice and said: "You all stay here, don't be found by the enemy, wait for me to go up first, you see the rope and then climb up, you must remember, there must be no sound, so as not to be discovered by the Liangshan army." ”

Everyone nodded, Zhang Xian saw Zhao Gou going alone, a little worried, his injuries had not yet improved, and he couldn't use force, how could he climb the city wall, and persuaded loudly: "My lord, I still go with you, I can take care of you." ”

Zhao Gou smiled: "Don't worry, even if I can't use force, they won't want to hurt me in the slightest." Besides, your martial arts are not yet able to climb the city wall, if you attract the attention of the enemy, the plan will be frustrated, and you don't know how many brothers will be killed or wounded by then, so you wait here, and when I go up, you will go up again. ”

Zhang Xian wanted to say something more, but Zhao Gou didn't give him a chance, and began to slowly climb up. Everyone didn't dare to take a breath, there was a quiet place around, and the tense atmosphere permeated everyone's hearts, and they also felt a little curious, not knowing what way Zhao Gou would take to go up.

I saw Zhao Gou jumping away, one zhang high, everyone was stunned, the city wall was only four zhang high, and he climbed to a quarter. Then, everyone saw Zhao Gou have two more daggers in his hand, and slammed them into the city wall, using them as their stepping stones, like a flat avenue, without any obstruction.

After a while, Zhao Gou had already climbed to the city wall, quietly showed his head, tiptoed to observe the situation around him, and saw soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and secretly thought: "Song Jiang should have guessed that I would attack Qingzhou City, otherwise the guards would not be so strict." ”

Zhao Gou knew that it was not appropriate to attack at this time, and if he was not careful, he would startle the snake, so he had to wait for the opportunity. Time passed minute by minute, Zhao Gou's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was struggling to support it, and the damage caused to him by Lu Junyi had not yet improved, which had some impact on him.

If he was unharmed, he could enter Qingzhou City alone, and he didn't have to let the soldiers help. At the same time, Zhang Xian and the others waited anxiously under the city, and they didn't see any movement for a long time, they were worried, and they didn't hear the sound of fighting, so they were relieved, and they were still a little anxious.

After waiting for an hour, Zhao Gou's whole body was soaked, struggling to support himself from falling, his hands were exhausted, and he couldn't hold it anymore, but he saw that the soldiers in the city tower were changing shifts, leaving only a dozen people waiting, and the others went down to the city tower.

"Good chance!"

Zhao Gou was overjoyed, and hurriedly lowered the rope from his body, and then quietly climbed the city tower. The torches on the castle tower were crumbling in the breeze, unable to illuminate his form.

In a moment, Zhao Gou hid in the shadow of the city tower, and quietly tied a rope and tied it to the wall. Putting down the thick rope one after another, the people waiting under the city wall hurriedly climbed along the rope, and Zhang Xian was the first to go up, without any hesitation.

At this moment, the soldiers defending the city patrolled in the direction where Zhao Gou was. When Zhao Gou was about to attack, he was called back by his companions.

The man said lazily: "Don't go there, no one will be able to climb over the city wall, and I don't know why the military advisor has arranged for me to wait, there are only a dozen people before." Now that dozens of people have been sent to defend the city, does the Song army really have such a great ability to attack Qingzhou City at night? ”

"What if the Song army really attacked?" Another soldier asked worriedly.

The man smiled indifferently and said, "It seems that you are new here, why don't you know this way?" It's just for show. We are not really soldiers, we are all poor people, where can we compare with them, listen to me right, rest when it is time to rest, when the time comes, someone will take turns to rest. ”

Zhao Gou also smiled bitterly when he heard it, there were still such soldiers in the Liangshan Army. If such a thing happened in the Song army, it would be an uproar. The conversation between the two of them also sounded the alarm for Zhao Gou, to sort out the atmosphere of the army, and such soldiers must not be allowed.

At this time, Zhao Gou felt a little lucky, if it weren't for these half-hung soldiers, it would be impossible for them to easily occupy the city tower. Zhao Gou quietly came behind them and put down everyone one by one. Zhang Xian and others also climbed the city gate tower one after another.

Zhao Gou glanced at it and said in a low voice, "Why are there only fifty people?" ”

Zhang Xian replied embarrassedly: "When I came up before, my strength was too great, and I almost fell, and finally it was not easy to climb up with a dagger stuck in the city wall, but the rope was also cut by me." Therefore, only one rope could come up, and it was broken, so there were only so many people. ”

Zhao Gou looked at Zhang Xian with a smile, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Since that's the case, forget it!" Fifty is fifty, listen, be careful, and open the gates. Zhang Xian, as a vanguard, you must stop the soldiers of the Liangshan Army, and after the city gate is opened, our army can drive straight in. ”

Everyone nodded in unison, and then slowly walked towards the city gate. Some scattered soldiers on the city tower were all knocked down by Zhang Xian, and Zhao Gou led everyone to follow. After a few moments, they finally reached the city gate, looked at the huge deadbolt, and then the four of them worked together to lift it.

It's just that the city gate is too heavy, and ten people went to slowly open the city gate, and a piercing voice suddenly sounded. The Liangshan army, who had changed shifts, also arrived at the city gate, and everyone saw a group of people dressed in black open the city gate, and shouted violently: "The Song army is coming, the Song army is coming!" ……”

"Not good!" Zhao Gou secretly said anxiously, before the city gate was opened, it was discovered by the Liang Shan army, so he could only order everyone and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, resist me, you must insist on the army coming, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted, don't take the initiative to attack, guard as much as possible, and save physical strength." ”

When the patrol army of Qingzhou City heard the roar of the defenders, they immediately rushed towards the city gate, and some people went to report to the residence of Song Jiang and others. Zhao Gou knew that this battle was inevitable, and he couldn't allow him to have any chance to think, so he could only fight them. So, Zhao Gou ordered everyone to swear to guard the city gate and wait until the army came.
