Chapter 160: Night Attack on the South City Gate
The turmoil in the capital, and the outside of the capital is not calm, although the things that are going to change the sky are well controlled by Dolha in the capital, but some well-informed people still know some things more or less. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
All kinds of forces are pouring towards the capital openly and secretly, especially beggars all the way, walking densely on the official road, like a large group of displaced people.
Su Can rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, and in a hurry of two days, he could only temporarily gather more than 3,000 beggar disciples.
Su Can knew in his heart that with these manpower, he could not pose any threat to Dorha, even if he wanted to enter the capital, it might be a problem.
Fortunately, he is a strong man with high martial arts and is also bold, after all, the way people in the martial arts fight is different from the regular army. If you fight alone, these beggar disciples will definitely have no problem, and it is more than enough to fight two officers and soldiers at a time.
But when it comes to marching formations, they are lacking, after all, they are not trained in this area.
The tall city wall of the capital was in front of him, and Su Can called a few elders in the gang, and everyone stopped ten miles away from the city. According to the plan that Su Can had discussed with the elders.
They had to wait until evening to prepare to enter the city, and in order to avoid too many unnecessary fights, twenty good men would attack the officers and soldiers defending the city under the cover of night. And took the opportunity to open the city gate and let the three thousand men rush in as soon as possible.
Fighting in the streets in the city would be of great benefit to Su Can's beggar gang disciples. If it is in an open area, surrounded by officers and soldiers, it is bound to be full of dangers.
In particular, the muskets and cannons of the officers and men were only 3,000 men, which was not enough for a burst of artillery bombardment.
As it began to set to the west, it soon set on the western hill, and the twenty elders and the helmsman had also changed into their night clothes, and lined up in two neat rows.
Su Can stood in front of them like a general ordering troops, his eyes swept over everyone one by one, and he clasped his fists and shouted: "It's dangerous to go here tonight, and you may not be able to come back once you go, Su Can is really fortunate to have the help of your brothers." I won't say more polite words, come on, everyone is done! ā
Someone had already sent practice wine, and the heroic Su Can raised his head and did it first as a respect. Then twenty elders followed, and drank the wine from the bowl in one gulp.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The wine was drunk, and all the bowls were thrown to the ground, and after the twenty people returned the salute with their fists, they disappeared into the vast night.
The guards of the capital did not know that a group of people were quietly approaching a few miles away, and since the ban on the capital was strict, there had been no accident in the past two days, which made all the officers and soldiers unconsciously relax their vigilance.
On the tower of the south city gate, there are more than 30 officers and soldiers guarding at this moment, but there is no one outside the city tower at this time. I saw more than 30 people in the city tower in a big circle, eating meat and talking.
It's dinner time for them, and even though it's dinner, there should always be someone on duty outside. But the peace and quiet in the past few days have already made them no longer have any vigilance.
Twenty dark shadows soon crept up the corner of the wall by the city gate, but they were also surprised by the sight before them. Looking at the officers and soldiers in the city tower who were still unaware, the eyes of the twenty elders were full of disdain.
The two elders didn't say a word, and immediately took out the ecstasy incense from their bodies, and in the upwind of the city tower, three incense sticks were directly blown in the outer building.
Twenty people silently counted to ten in their hearts, and then they broke down the door, and when they came inside, they saw that there were still people sitting, and all thirty or so were lying on the ground.
In order to avoid accidents, the twenty men in black did not hesitate, took out daggers from their bodies, spread them out in less than ten breaths, and cut the throats of all the unconscious officers and soldiers.
After making sure that all the officers and soldiers were dead, someone went outside to give a signal, and someone immediately went to open the city gates.
Su Can, who had already lurked less than a mile outside the South City Gate, and his subordinates soon saw the signal. Su Can's spirit was shocked, and he immediately took the lead and rushed quickly to the city gate.
More than 3,000 people entered the city gate smoothly, and it was only at this time that the moving patrol officers and soldiers discovered the situation at the south gate. They just wanted to send a signal to inform their accomplices, but unexpectedly, a group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared, and all of them were cut throats in an instant.
Su Can saw the truth below, his face was full of satisfaction, these twenty elders and helmsmen were indeed skilled.
Seeing that more than 3,000 disciples of the Beggar Gang had entered the city without danger, Su Can immediately asked them to go to the city and hide first. He stayed with twenty elders and the helmsman to clean up the site, and only after all the bodies had been removed and the gates were closed again, did they quietly leave.
It was not until a long time after they had left that the officers and soldiers who patrolled here noticed the strangeness of the South City Gate, and after some searching, they learned that forty officers and soldiers had been killed. Frightened everyone, he sent people to tell Dorha, and at the same time sent more people to start a frenzied search in the city.
Dolha had barely fallen asleep when he was woken up again, and he was furious when he heard that more than forty officers and soldiers had been killed at the South Gate.
directly beheaded the leader who was in charge of guarding the gate, and then ordered the whole army to enter combat readiness. He knew very well that the matter of the South City Gate must have been done by Su Can, and it was very likely that the people of the beggar gang had already entered the city.
These people in the rivers and lakes are very difficult, especially they like to hide in the dark to carry out sneak attacks, and they can't be guarded against at all. It can also be seen from this that the little emperor must be partnering with Su Can, and Dolha frowned for a while, and began to worry about his future.
At this time, two guards walked in with a dying messenger and said to him, "Lord Qiqi, the person who went to Guangdong to deliver the letter has returned." ā
Dorha waved the guards to retreat first, and then asked the messenger, "Did Peter promise this king?" ā
The messenger was already on the verge of collapse because he was in a hurry day and night, and he couldn't even sit down, so he lay on the ground, and replied weakly: "Lord, Peter has agreed, and they will arrive at Tianjin Port tomorrow, tomorrow morning, and ask us to send someone to meet them." ā
"Really?" Dorha stood up suddenly, her face full of surprise.
"It's true, my lord!" The messenger's voice was hoarse, and it was laborious for him to even speak at the moment.
After hearing the good news, Dorha finally relieved her depressed mood for days, and she was not embarrassed by the news. rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold, and ordered someone to call a military doctor with the army to take care of him.
The messenger was so moved that he almost changed his name to his grandfather, of course, the messenger also wanted to be Dorha's grandson, and the question was whether Dorha would recognize it.
When Peter finally came, Dolha handed over the army to his men, and he personally took two thousand cavalry and set out for the port of Tientsin, ready to meet Peter.
