Zhao Min was nervous for a while, put his hand into his arms, and held the handle of the flying knife tightly, ready to do it immediately if something was not harmonious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Xiang said with a smile: "I waited until I was transferred from the room guard to the tail guard, and it is normal for my brother to not know it." Brother Tai didn't know anything, just now the granary in the north of the city caught fire, and General Tianpeng gave an order, and each guard sent people to put out the fire. Wei Zhong was already short of manpower, so he had to transfer thirty people from the team of his brothers to change guards, so only these many people came. The southern city is adjacent to the water, and there are sharp weapons to defend the city, where do you need many people to defend it? Brother Tai should not be suspicious. ”

When the general who blocked the road heard this, although he still had doubts, he put down the ring knife in his hand and looked to the north again: "I said how it looks like there is smoke and fire in the north of the city, but it turned out that the granary was on fire." Suddenly, he changed his expression of anger: "I knew that those guys in Xinsu were unreliable, and the captain didn't persuade him." Now it's really causing trouble! If you really destroy the grain and grass, it will depend on how these guys will give an explanation! ”

Zhao Min's heart was slightly groaning, this thing didn't worry about the food being burned and not eaten, but was bent on watching other people's jokes. It seems that there is a lot of infighting in this Red Turban Army, and the factional contradictions have risen to the point where they are greater than the external emotions!

This side Cheng Xiang is repeated, and it is easy to deal with the officers guarding the city. When these people went down to the city, Zhang Han looked at Zhao Min with his eyes, Zhao Min hesitated slightly, but still shook his head slightly. He understood what Zhang Han meant, these people were a hidden danger after all, and if he asked after returning to the camp, he would definitely reveal his stuff, should he clean it up now. But Zhao Min felt that the most important thing now was to notify Shao Qi that they would come to answer. It's not that he can't bear to do it, but he is worried that he may not be able to wipe them all out now, and if he escapes one or two, he will attract the large army in advance, which will be more troublesome. Under the power of two evils, it is better not to make extraneous branches.

When these people went down to the city and couldn't see the movement of the city, Zhao Min couldn't wait to whisper: "Send a signal!" ”

Cheng Xiang jumped to the edge of the city in three steps and two steps, took out a torch inserted in the city, raised it high, and then waved it and threw the torch into the river outside the city. After two pauses, he took another torch, waved it, and threw it into the river again, three times. This is the signal agreed with Shao Qi earlier, as long as Shao Qi has been holding clairvoyance, he will inevitably see such an obvious signal. As for the Red Turban Army in the city, even if they saw it, they would probably think that someone accidentally dropped the torch into the river, and they would not be suspicious.

The above is the first half of all the plans that Zhao Min agreed with everyone. The first is to try to blend into the city, and Zhao Min uses his fast speed advantage to create chaos in the north of the city. In order to mobilize the troops in the city to support the north of the city as much as possible, and reduce the pressure on the southern city wall. When Zhao Min learned that the north of the city was actually a grain and grass hoarding point, he was really overjoyed, and it was a blessing to invite heaven.

The second step in the plan was to find a way to take control of the city. Zhao Min heard that the time for changing the guard was in Xu, and he immediately had the idea of impostoring, and after discussing it with Zhang Hanyi, he naturally did not allow it. Now it seems that this step is also going quite smoothly. If you deceive the defenders of the city, you will buy yourself at least half an hour.

The most important thing is the third step, which is the core of the escape. Before departure, Zhao Min repeatedly confirmed with Hu Sanjiang that the stakes were very high, and Hu Sanjiang gave a letter of approval after discussing with other shipbuilders: from the downstream of the water to ride the wind against the water, plus the night boat, two miles away from Feiguo, the fastest moment, the slowest two moments, will definitely be able to reach the city of Feiguo. In other words, Zhao Min and these twenty guards need to hold on to the southern city of Fei for at least 14 minutes, and at most half an hour! As soon as the ship arrived at the city, everyone jumped from the head of the city - Zhao Min calculated, the height was no more than three meters, and with the advance orders to lay bedding and clothes on the deck, it should not be a big problem. At that time, as long as he got to the boat, it would be a leap of the sea, and he didn't believe that the "Tianpeng General" could catch up with him. Not to mention that the human legs can't catch up, even if there are cavalry, how can they catch up? Maybe you can jump into the water? Well, even if the Red Turban Army is all water athletes, they still have dozens of strong crossbows! I love to shoot the human head in the water on the boat, and I love to play a whack-a-mole or something!

Thinking that the plan had been completed for the most part, Zhao Min was in a good mood. He took two steps forward and came to a tall "mast" and carefully looked at the culprit who had to take the risk of going deep behind enemy lines. I didn't feel it from a distance during the day, but now that I looked closer, Zhao Min had to sigh, with the level of construction in these years, to make such a tall building, the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

I saw that this racket is mainly composed of two parts. The first is the main rod, which is the stressed part, which is made of a whole log of two people hugging each other. The bottom is thicker, the top is slightly thinner, and the total length is more than 15 zhang! The bottom is not raised from the city wall as Zhao Min imagined, but directly from the root of the city wall, that is, the ground. There is a protruding disc when extending from the base to the ramparts, connected in the form of a wedge; At the other end of the disc is the sub-rod, which is the part that "beats". This is a log with a total length of about 10 zhang, which is slightly thinner than the main rod overall. The top of the auxiliary rod is connected to the main rod by two ziplines, and there is a pulley block at the top of the main rod - Zhao Min has always thought that the pulley block is a product of modern times, but it has been used maturely more than a thousand years ago!

The zipline of the pulley block extends to the ground and is connected by a winch. Zhao Min looked at it and understood that when the clapstick was used, he only needed to loosen the buckle on the winch, and the auxiliary rod fell down under the action of gravity. Recycling is also very simple, just turn the winch, and under the action of the pulley block, it does not take too much effort to lift the auxiliary rod again. The whole structure is simple, and the operation is not complicated. The question is that with the technical level of these years, how can the lifting and hoisting of such a giant tree be done by manpower alone? Zhao Min was once again amazed by the wisdom of the working people.

But no matter what, this thing no longer poses a threat to Zhao Min. He stood at the head of the city and looked to the northeast, which was where Shao Qi and the others were coming. Unfortunately, in the night, only the sound of murmuring water could be heard, and only darkness could be seen in the distance, but there was no trace of the boat.

Zhao Min retracted his gaze. The matter has come to this, I have entered a Jedi, and it is useless to think too much. I just hope that we can hold the city wall before the enemy arrives!

In the blink of an eye, the two sticks of incense passed, and the ship was still nowhere to be seen, but a fire dragon was seen winding in the direction of the city. This must be because the Red Turban Army noticed something strange and came to support. Now there is only a silent prayer, hoping that the enemy's misjudgment is just an internal faction, so only the "Tail Guard" sent troops. Otherwise, if it is really a large group of enemy troops, Zhao Min is not naïve enough to rely on his own only twenty people to take advantage of the city wall - this is not the same as the siege of the city, when the siege of the city is facing the outside only the smooth city wall, but now inside the city wall, there are two straight horse roads!

When the fire dragon passed under the city wall, the vision gradually became clear, and Zhao Min made a rough estimate and breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps prayer worked, and the enemy forces that came were no more than five hundred, far less than the strength of the Red Turbans in the city. It seems that this should be the headquarters of the Osuke. Zhao Min now has a general understanding of the establishment of the Red Turban Army, which is basically based on the school, a school is about 1,000 people, according to Xu Chu, Xu Taifang has a total of 28 schools, although the number of people may be slightly deviated, but in general, the data of more than 20,000 troops is true. If the number of Tail Guards is calculated according to 1,000 people, excluding the 500 people who are on duty at the four gates tonight, the remaining less than 500 people should be a reasonable number, so there is no doubt that the people in front of him should be Tail Guards.

Looking down from the castle, there was a large horse at the head of the long procession, presumably the man who called him the captain of the school. Zhao Min squinted slightly, this thing is really tight, and he has to ride a horse in the city, for fear that he is not eye-catching enough. Turning his head to look at Zhang Han at the moment, the latter nodded slightly knowingly. Zhao Min went out from the city wall, which was about sixty or seventy steps away from the general, exceeding the range of his own flying knife.

"But in front of Captain Ojuku?"

The other party's face was not clear under the dim light, but from the voice, he could roughly imagine this person's anger: "What part of the thieves are you waiting for, who dare to occupy the city wall in the name of my tail guard?" If you don't get down quickly, maybe grandpa won't pursue it anymore! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Min was relieved. Presumably, this guy didn't find out that the fifty-man team who came to change the guard was slaughtered, so he said "no accountability". It seems that there will be no follow-up troops in the local area for the time being.

"Captain Ojuku is wrong. You need to know that the sky has eyes, and you are looking at this place at this time! As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

You must know that the people of these years generally believe in ghosts and gods, and when they heard Zhao Min mention "the sky", everyone in the city involuntarily looked up at the sky in the direction of his fingers - the sky was so dark that they couldn't even see a star.

At this moment, Zhang Han, who was hidden behind Zhao Min, had already bent his bow and arrows, ready to attack. Seeing everyone's eyes shift, he suddenly stood up, the bowstring tightly clasped in his hand was loosened, and the arrow was like a meteor, and he went towards the door of the general!

Maybe it was the good luck that ran out some time ago, but this time Zhang Hanzhi didn't hit the target with an arrow that he was sure to get, and he rubbed the top helmet of the military general and fell on the body of an unlucky guy behind him, which only caused a miserable scream. The general shuddered with fright, and his instinct for survival caused him to roll from his horse to the ground with incredible speed. waited until the shock calmed down for a while, and then he saved himself how much face he had lost in front of his subordinates, and couldn't help but be furious, and pointed at the city wall: "All the soldiers, rush up for me!" I'm going to skin them raw! ”

Zhao Min originally planned to capture the thief and capture the king, but when he saw that this arrow did not make a contribution, he was a little regretful. However, regret is regret, and the current situation still has to deal with the past first. Seeing the red turban army under the city rushing towards the two horse roads like a tide, he hurriedly ordered the guards to divide into two teams and guard the main roads respectively.

Fortunately, the road is not very wide, and it can only accommodate four people in parallel. Zhao Min selected the most powerful fighters for the task, and they were skilled in martial arts. All it takes is a strong sword and shield soldier standing at each crossing, wielding a variety of blades that block the stabs, and two pikemen at his side stabbing with spears that are far longer than the average long soldier. Condescendingly, almost every blow elicited a scream, followed by someone rolling down the unprotected side of the road. The other guards who did not participate in the frontal defense held crossbows and gave a little name to the swarming Red Turban Army - this time Zhao Min learned to be smart, he didn't shoot at the front or the back, he specifically aimed at the enemy in the third row, and shot back in turn. In this way, the enemy troops that were originally in the assembly line were considered to be cut off one by one, which greatly reduced the pressure on the front-line guards and gave them enough respite.

Zhao Min himself was not idle, there were hundreds of flying knives in the ring, supporting his luxurious hands. In fact, in the case of systematic bonuses, the difference between the left hand and the right hand is really not big; Moreover, his flying knife route is very tricky, and he greets the enemy in three ways - it is of little significance to kill the enemy at this time, after all, it is impossible to completely annihilate the opponent with his own team of twenty people, it is better to create more wounded and increase the confusion of the enemy. So the soldiers of the Red Turban Army who were climbing the slope fell into blood mold, either stabbed in the thigh, or nailed to the ground in the ankle; What's more, he was stabbed between his legs, screaming terribly, rolling down the ramp, and messing up the uptown team.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Zhao Min really didn't intend to let people cut off their children and grandchildren, the knife just now was a pure mistake, because he inadvertently turned around, and saw two hazy black shadows in the northeast coming down the water, and getting closer and closer, but it was not the two big ships that came to respond!

Zhao Min was in high spirits, and immediately beckoned everyone to prepare to retreat. Seeing that success was in sight, the guards couldn't help shouting in unison, exerting their divine strength, and dancing the blades in their hands like windmills; At this time, the guards who were accumulating the shooting did not care about frugality, holding a crossbow in each hand, and pouring crossbow arrows into the enemy bushes like raindrops. This power suddenly made the red scarves a little stunned, and the offensive was also sluggish.

Taking advantage of the other party's temporary rest, Zhao Min hurriedly asked all the guards to retreat to the outer edge of the city wall, ready to jump down at any time. And he himself stood at the end, the flying knife in his hand was tightly clasped, but whoever dared to show his head in the red scarf must taste the taste of the knife kissing his neck!

The big ship in the water was getting closer and closer, and even in the not-so-bright firelight, Shao Qi's earnest face could be seen on the bow of the boat. Zhao Min took a deep breath and shouted, "All of them!" Ready to jump! As his words fell, twenty-one figures jumped off the city wall one after another, landing in the boat with a dense "thump" sound.

Zhao Min saw that everyone had jumped down, and he no longer kept it, roared angrily, and threw the dozen or so flying knives in his hand towards all the enemy troops who were pouring up the city. Then he turned around, put one foot on the battlements, leaped up with his strength, and landed in the middle of the big ship!

Zhao Min turned his head to look at the city wall, but saw that the enemy troops also rushed to the wall. Most of them hesitated, but there were also a few brave people who wanted to follow the example of Zhao Min and others, jumping into the city, but they were shot by thirty crossbows that had been prepared for a long time, and suddenly fell down a row of heads, and the rest of the people quickly retracted their heads into the battlements - it was the fifty guards soldiers who stayed on the ship before, who didn't get the opportunity to get out of the task, and waited here with all their strength!

Zhao Min saw that there was no longer a threat to the city wall, and since then he could leap into the sea, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh loudly, and the laughter spread far and wide.
