Chapter 242: Outwitting (4)

The area around the west gate was very quiet, and most of the 200 sergeants stationed here were sleeping in the barracks next to the city gate, and the sergeants patrolling the city walls were also absent-minded. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The west gate has long been closed, and the surrounding area is a forbidden area, and no one can approach it, otherwise it will be killed, and there are sergeants who are specially responsible for patrolling outside the west gate, so the sergeants guarding here have almost nothing to do.

The lanterns around the barracks were still very bright, and by the light, I could vaguely see the stone stairs leading up the city wall.

The sound of snoring one after another has become a landscape, outside the barracks, there are several sergeants on patrol, there is not much expression on their faces, it may be infected by the snoring that comes, what is written on their faces is fatigue and dissatisfaction, it is also said that the sergeants patrolling in the city can also get a lot of benefits, not to mention the sergeants stationed at the south gate, they earn too much money, but they have such a drudgery, stationed at the west gate, and they can't get anything.

It is also for this reason that the sergeants stationed at the west gate, the south gate and the east gate are dissatisfied, since they can't get any money, then they can rest well, take advantage of the situation to be lazy, and there is nothing to do anyway.

It's almost time to come, and everything is quiet.

Several sergeants on patrol yawned and slowly approached the barracks, there were no ghosts around, and there was no need for them to patrol back and forth, it was better to go to the side of the barracks to rest.

This has become a habit for them, and after a few hours of the day, there are hardly any sergeants patrolling.

As the sergeant headed towards the barracks, dozens of dark shadows also approached in their direction.

A breeze blew, and the lanterns hanging on the trees in the distance suddenly went out a lot, and the light around them suddenly dimmed.

A sergeant turned his head and saw that the lantern was extinguished not far away, and he turned his head and said a few words, but in exchange for a shout, the sergeant also ignored the extinguished lantern and followed in the direction of the barracks.

Ma Long, who was wearing a night suit, showed a smile on his face, the sergeant stationed at the West Gate was so negligent, this was something he didn't expect, it seems that today's operation should be very smooth.

Marlon waved his hand, and more men in black moved closer in the direction of the barracks.

The sound of beating the watch in the city came, and it was finally time.

A large group of men in black swooped in the direction of the barracks, and the other group of men in black rushed towards the direction of the city wall, leaning against the patrol sergeants resting under the trees, in a daze, found that the situation was wrong, but unfortunately before they could speak, they were surrounded by the men in black who rushed over, and the steel knife instantly slashed through their throats.

The limp bodies of the patrol sergeants did not even fall to the ground when a man in black supported them.

More than a dozen men in black gently opened the doors of several barracks, followed the men in black behind them, and entered the barracks.

In an instant, shouts and screams came from inside the barracks, and the snoring disappeared.

On the city wall, there were faint screams, but they were not very clear.

怂怂怂

In less than a quarter of an hour, there was silence around the West Gate.

Ma Long had already ripped off the night clothes on his body, and a smile appeared on his face again, in his opinion, this night clothes were completely unnecessary, in fact, if he didn't wear a night clothes, today's operation would be just as successful.

On top of the city walls, three red lanterns were hung high, a sign of the success of the operation.

The gates of the west gate were slowly opened.

Ma Long personally greeted him in the corridor.

A leading war horse galloped over, and Zhang Binghui, who was on horseback, saw Ma Long guarding the road.

"Deputy Commander Zhang, the soldiers have successfully completed the combat mission, and there is no movement in the city for the time being."

"Commander Ma, do a good job, leave 500 people to guard the west gate, and the rest will immediately follow the army, I am responsible for commanding 7,000 soldiers to attack the Mongolian Tartar military camp, you lead the rest of the soldiers, immediately go to seize the south gate, and never let the Mongolian Tartars outside the city enter the city."

Marlon nodded and began to gather his sergeants.

The people in the city finally found out that the situation was wrong.

From the second quarter of the hour, the sound of shouting and killing in the city began to appear, the sound of horses' hooves, the neighing of horses, the sound of soldiers colliding, and the faint screams continued to appear.

The people of Chengdu have experienced the war, when the Mongolian army captured Chengdu Fucheng, the fighting in the city was the same as the tragedy, but it was almost a slaughter of the city, few people survived, and now the people living in the city are many relocated, what the fighting in the city means, they are very clear.

Almost no people dared to go out, they all got up to check if the door was closed, and many more put their hands together and prayed for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

However, what these people did not expect was that the surroundings of the houses were very quiet all the time, and some people could see the sergeants with torches passing by through the cracks in the doors, and these sergeants did not harass the people.

One thing that many people are sure of is that the soldiers who entered the city were not the Mongol army, but the Song army, as can be seen from the military uniforms they were wearing.

In the war-torn era, the common people don't have so many ideas, as long as they can be stable, as long as they can avoid the invasion of war, they will be satisfied, as for who is the emperor, who can seize the world, it is too far away, and they have nothing to do with it, the fight between the Song army and the Mongolian army, they also don't care, no matter who wins and who loses, the people are always unflattering.

More people looked out through the cracks in the door.

This time the fighting in the city seemed to be different from the past, that is, the fighting seemed to be concentrated in the Yamen and the South Gate, and the rest of the place was quite quiet, and no one came to harass the people.

However, this can't say anything for the time being, after all, the battle has just begun, and who knows what will happen next.

The vast majority of the people are trembling, not knowing what will happen after dawn, not knowing whether their money and food can be saved, not knowing whether their lives can be saved, at this time, no one dares to go out, that is the practice of looking for death.

Zhang Binghui, who commanded the operation, did not expect that the Mongolian Tatars would be so lazy and negligent.

At the beginning of the attack, the battle went smoothly beyond Zhang Binghui's imagination, and it seemed that the Mongolian troops stationed in the city did not expect to be attacked at all, they did not have the slightest defense, and most of the sergeants were sleeping.

Many of the sergeants were killed in their sleep.

The sergeants who stood up to resist did not hold out for long, after all, they were not prepared at all, and they were vulnerable in front of the well-prepared soldiers of the Hezhou Imperial Army.

Seven thousand men besieged three thousand, and the number of people was already overwhelming, and the Mongol Tartars did not have the slightest preparation, so the result of the battle can be imagined.

In less than half an hour, the battle was basically over, except for the beheaded Mongolian sergeants, many sergeants chose to surrender, they knelt on the ground, held their heads in their hands, and completely gave up resistance.

The battle at the South Gate is over.

Ma Long had already made arrangements, and while capturing the West Gate, the South, North, and East Gates would act almost simultaneously.

The Mongol Tatars were also unprepared and were attacked suddenly.

The only fierce battle was in the direction of the South Gate.

After all, the south gate must be taken intact, and the south gate must be prevented from being opened.

Ma Long personally led the sergeants to attack, and when he rushed to the city wall, there were some casualties.

The original plan was to end the battle in the city at the time of the ugly, but after three minutes, the battle was basically over.

The city has been completely controlled, and the next step is to clear the Mongolian soldiers wandering in the city, which is not a big problem, and it can be dealt with after dawn.

Seeing that the officials of the yamen and the government were escorted to a centralized place, Zhang Binghui couldn't wait, he wanted to go to the south gate to see that the army led by Cai Siwei should attack the Mongol Tatars in the military camp outside the city.

The battle inside the city should have alarmed the Mongol Tartars in the military camp outside the city, and in the battle to seize the south gate, a small number of Mongol Tatars had already come in the direction of the south gate, but they had no chance to enter the city.

Leaving Wang Xiaosan to continue to be in charge of the cleanup of the yamen, Zhang Binghui got on his horse and galloped away in the direction of the south gate.

While still on horseback, Zhang Binghui heard the sound of drums coming from outside the city.

hurriedly went up to the city wall, and Zhang Binghui saw Ma Long standing at the battlements at first sight.

"Brother Marlon, how's it going?"

"The commander of Cai Du has already led a large army to attack, alas, if only we could fight out of the city."

Zhang Binghui looked in the direction of the barracks, where it was bright and all kinds of voices came over.

"I also want to fight, but our task is to stick to the city, the arrangement and deployment of the adults is really God, and we took Chengdu Fucheng so quickly, and I don't know what Liu Yuanzhen will do after knowing about this matter, I'm afraid I'm going to wipe my neck and commit suicide...

Malone also smiled.

"Liu Yuanzhen always wants to perform in front of Kublai Khan, now it's okay, in fact, I have long wanted to say, in front of adults, don't say Liu Yuanzhen, Kublai Khan is nothing."

Zhang Binghui nodded, his eyes becoming slightly blurred.

"Yes, my lord is so brave, I don't know what the emperor and the court think, after we take Chengdu Fucheng, there will definitely be big moves in the court."

"What is there to worry about, the adults will definitely find a way to deal with it, we just need to follow the adults, what the adults say and how we do it, it's okay, other things, don't think so much."

Zhang Binghui looked at Ma Long, and Ma Long still had a scheming smile on his face.

Things are definitely not as simple as Ma Long said, at least Zhang Binghui sees it this way, but the best thing to do now is to follow the adult's side closely and do things according to the adult's requirements. (To be continued.) )
