Chapter 13 Escape from the Philippines I

Zhao Min initially planned to sneak into the city during the day to create chaos, his reason was that the visibility during the day was high, which could avoid some unnecessary omissions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but changed his mind after communicating with Ma Qier, because almost all of the Red Turban Army were from the villagers, and due to the lack of materials in these years, most people rarely or could not eat meat at all, so most of them have the symptoms of "blindfolding", that is, night blindness, which is not conducive to vision at night. In comparison, Zhao Min's personal guards are very different, because of the high treatment and good daily food, at least there is no shortage of meat, and naturally there is no night blindness. In this way, the benefits of operating at night are far greater than during the day, and the decision was finally made to set the time at night.

For this reason, Zhao Min simply scattered all the fifty guards and guarded several roads leading from the south to Fei Guo, and Shao Qi stayed on the ship. The loss was Ma Qier, a local native, who was familiar with the road conditions, and the selected interception site was also excellent, and he even stopped three waves of messengers and routs in a row.

Needless to say, the rout army had long been frightened by this group of killing gods with fifty enemies and thousands of people. As soon as the ambushed sergeants appeared, these routs were so frightened that they turned around and ran, and they didn't even have the courage to look at their faces, let alone come to fight. However, the two couriers caused a bit of trouble for the interception, because they were all on horseback, and it was really difficult for the infantry to intercept them. Fortunately, Zhang Han ordered people to dig a lot of traps in advance, so that he could catch the messenger without danger. The two messengers came from Kaiyang and Nancheng respectively, and the content of the letter was not unusual, it was nothing more than a report on the progress and instructions for the next step. However, Kaiyang mentioned in his heart that there were already two hundred and thirty-seven ships gathered in Kaiyang, and this number frightened Zhao Min. How many ships were there in the Battle of Chibi? It's less than a thousand on both sides, right? How can you collect two or three hundred ships in just one Yishui, then it is not invincible in the world! Later, Ma Qier was puzzled, it turned out that the red scarf collection ships were large and small, and there were many small boats of less than 100 stones, and even if they were loaded with people, they were only about a dozen, which was completely different from the hundreds of stone boats imagined by Zhao Min.

When it was time to apply for a card, the sky began to get a little dark, and seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao Min took Zhang Han and the twenty most elite guards, changed into the clothes of the Red Turban Army, and went to Feiguo County. In fact, Zhao Min has two options for sneaking into the city at this time, one is to pretend to be a messenger, but the messenger is usually a special person, and as soon as he enters the city, he will definitely be taken to the general, and it will be easily exposed. So in the end, I chose to pretend to be a rout, at least from the perspective of acting, it was easier and not so eye-catching. As for the red scarf armor, it couldn't be simpler - the red turban army wore everything, just take off the armor on the guards, put on some peasant clothes, and make it a little more dilapidated, and finally put a conspicuous red scarf on the head and it will be alive. However, in order to increase his defensive strength, Zhao Min still put on the two hundred elite red scarves that he had captured earlier, and he was considered a well-equipped red scarf.

Before leaving, he carefully inquired with Ma Qier about the general situation of the city. When I came to the east city gate, I saw that there was only a team of red scarves guarding the gate, and they were all staggering, and they seemed to be very lax. Of course, laxity is normal, after all, there are thousands of men stationed in the city, and the whole city is like a military fortress, and trying to sneak into the city is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap. And now Zhao Min and his entourage are going to extract teeth in the tiger's mouth.

When the soldiers guarding the door saw Zhao Min and the others, they saw that they were all dressed like red turban soldiers, and reluctantly stood up and shouted: "Stop!" Which part? How can the Chinese army camp break indiscriminately! Is there an edict? ”

Zhao Min's speech and demeanor were very different from the red scarf, so he only hid in the team, and found a hat to cover most of his face. The person in charge of talking is a personal guard, named Cheng Xiang, a ranger, who has also been a horse explorer in the border army for two years, and is very clever. He hurried two steps forward, pretending to be miserable and said: "We are under the command of the captain of the Muro Academy, and we were attacked by a large number of officers and troops at the Broken Gut Beach, and almost all the troops were wiped out, only a few of my brothers escaped, and I came to report the enemy situation to General Tianpeng. ”

The gatekeeper was taken aback when he heard this: "How can there be a large number of officers and troops in the Broken Intestine Beach?" Could it be the counter-rebellion army sent by the imperial court? ”

Cheng Xiang made a bitter face: "How can I know if I wait for the pawn?" The military situation is urgent, please lead the way with my brother and introduce General Tianpeng for us! ”

The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained a few words to the soldiers beside them, leading everyone to the city. Originally, only Cheng Xiang was allowed to follow, but he deduced that he was afraid that one person would not be able to explain the relevant battle situation clearly, and the guards saw that there were only twenty people in total, so they were not a big problem, so they were released together.

Entering the city, Zhao Min looked around. This is a very common city in this era, the road is a loess road, and the houses are low houses. On the side of the road, sewage flowed sideways, and from time to time I saw red turban soldiers whistling by, rolling up bursts of loess. Even though it was dusk, the whole city was still noisy, and the shouting and screaming were incessant. All the way to the people, the common people did not see a single one, all they saw were soldiers with sharp blades, and it was obvious that the whole city had been turned into a huge barracks.

The city gate is not too far from the county office, but with a stick of incense, everyone can already see the iconic "eaves" of the county government. Zhao Min didn't want to really see the "Tianpeng General", so he quietly gave Cheng Xiang a look. Cheng Xiang understood, took a step forward, lowered his voice and said to Mending: "It's not a secret, we actually have some little things to ask for, and I hope that the brothers will be fulfilled!" With that, he took the other party's hands and quietly handed over a small cloth bag.

Mending was stunned for a moment, then pinched the bag in his hand, and instantly his face was much more cordial, and he laughed and said: "It's a robe, but if you have something, you can talk about it!" ”

Cheng Xiang pretended to look around, and then said in a low voice: "I just arrived, and I have no support, and I want to explore my brother's way." When this is the road, why don't you take a step to speak? ”

Mending smiled all over his face: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" He led the way and led everyone to a small alley not far from the county office, and then turned his head and said to everyone: "Brothers, what do you inquire about?" ”

Zhao Min looked around, this is an extremely secluded alley, there are courtyard walls on both sides, the alley is only used as a passage, and no one should come here, so he stepped forward and said, "I don't know how many brothers are stationed in this city?" What is the number of permanent residents on the four walls? ”

Na Men Ding was stunned when he heard this, he thought that what these people wanted to ask was the relationship between the various factions in the Chinese army, but he didn't want to ask how many people there were? Maybe it's to find out which force is stronger! He immediately replied, "Not much, but there are still 4,000 people, and twenty-three of the twenty-eight lieutenants have scattered to various towns and villages, and will not return to the city when they are free." If there is anything but the general in this city, it must be headed by the captain of the horn house......"

Zhao Min interrupted unceremoniously: "Who is on duty on the city wall tonight?" How many people are in the quota of the four cities? ”

Mending frowned, and said in his heart that this person is unreasonable. However, he replied with a snort: "Tonight, the tail guard should be on duty on the city wall." Usually there are 200 people in the east and west cities, and 50 in the north and south cities. Shifts are changed once at the hour and at the hour. ”

"Where is the grain and grass in the city? Can there be an armory, a mule and horse house? Where are the barracks located? ”

The more he listened, the more wrong he became, as if he had come to inquire about the way, but as if he was going to attack the city! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel excited, and the eyes that looked at Zhao Min were not right. "What are you doing with all this? Could it be that he is a spy of the official army......"

Before the words fell, there was suddenly a cold and stiff thing on the side of his neck, and the piercing chill suddenly forced all the words in his throat back.

Zhao Min grinned at him: "Honestly reply, but if you suffer a little, at least you can save your life." If you want to shout or lie, this is the place where your bones are buried! ”

Mending didn't care who it was at this time. No one is more important than their own life! Immediately, he trembled, trembling and shaking out all the information he knew, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and at the end he cried with a handful of snot and tears: "The little one is also a thief who was forced to obey helplessly, and there is an eighty old mother in the family......"

Zhao Min was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, waved his hand to knock this guy unconscious, tied up his mouth and stuffed it with a burlap and threw it in the corner, so that everyone gathered over and arranged everyone's tasks. The general task process has been arranged long before entering the city, and now it is just a slight change according to the specific situation, and it is just a matter of emphasis.

After the arrangement was completed, Zhao Min walked to the corner of the street, turned his back to everyone and took out twenty crossbow machines and looked at the crossbow arrows. Although his back was to the crowd, he still couldn't explain where so many murder weapons came from. However, at this time, they don't care about shocking the world, anyway, these people don't dare to ask themselves face-to-face, giving them the impression that the lord has great magical powers. After Zhao Min distributed the weapons, the guards left first under the leadership of Zhang Han. He himself was alone, and when everyone had left, he pulled the cap down from his head and turned and walked out of the alley.

Out of the alley, he looked around, confirmed the direction, and went straight to the north of the city. Because Fei Guocheng is an extremely irregular rectangle, only one stick of incense was used from the east gate to the county government, and more than twice as much was used from the county government to the north city. It's a pity that there are many soldiers coming and going in the city, and he can't perform his 'sprint' stunt, otherwise it will probably take less time than when he came.

When he arrived in the north of the city, Zhao Min searched for the approximate location described by Namending. At this time, I didn't dare to ask someone at random, so I could only look for it by myself by virtue of the general direction. Fortunately, there is not much space left in Beicheng except for ordinary houses, and it didn't take much effort to find a place. This is a large mansion, which used to be the residence of a large family, and since it was occupied by the Red Turban Army, it has become a place where the Red Turban Army has accumulated grain and grass.

Zhao Min pretended to pass by the door, and circled around the entire house, but saw that this house was about three or four acres of land, and there were two courtyard doors in front and back. But the defense is very tight, in addition to the two courtyard gates are guarded, even the courtyard wall is every tens of meters there is a soldier, it seems that the red scarf is also clear, grain and grass is the top priority, not sloppy.

Zhao Min searched outside the courtyard, and randomly found a relatively dilapidated household next to the mansion, and quietly slipped in. As expected, this place has long been empty. He closed the gate and climbed up to the roof along the fence of the courtyard. Fortunately, in this era, it was not popular to build houses with several floors, and most private houses were almost always one-storey, so standing on the roof, you could see the scene in the opposite courtyard at a glance.

Although the guard outside the door is strict, there are only four or five places in the courtyard where there are people on duty, and the generals who want to come here can't trust the ordinary soldiers, for fear that they will guard and steal themselves, and the guards inside only dare to use their own descendants, so the defense is obviously much lax.

Zhao Min looked at where he was, and then estimated the distance from the opposite courtyard wall. According to my own experience with the ability to sprint, it is not a big problem to jump into the opposite courtyard wall if you jump from here. It just so happens that the nearest position to the courtyard wall is unguarded, which is just right.

Although I practice from time to time on weekdays, I am confident about my starting distance in the case of acceleration; But after all, I had never tried to jump from such a high position, so I was inevitably a little nervous. He glanced at the location, took a deep breath, and tried to relax himself. Then he added the force under his feet, and the sprinting skill was activated, but he saw that the whole person swept over the roof like a gust of wind; Will roll to the edge of the roof, legs slightly bent, and then jump with all his strength - the strong wind blows in the face, blowing so that people can't open their eyes, Zhao Min only felt that suddenly the clouds were driving the fog, there was a whirring wind in his ears, but he didn't react, there was a huge reaction force between his legs, he involuntarily squatted and bent his knees, and the whole person rolled forward uncontrollably three times before stopping.

A tingling sensation came from the crook of his knee, and he didn't care to check if he had any problems, so he hurriedly looked around to confirm that he was already within the courtyard wall, and quickly rolled to the back of a firewood and grass on the spot, so that he had time to check the situation in the courtyard in detail.
