53. A Glimmer of Life (M)

Around the beginning of the morning, the sense of uneasiness in Zheng Guang's heart became more and more intense, and after thinking about it, he still decided to arrange for these firearms troops to board the city wall to prepare for battle, and he also stayed on the city wall, so that he could see something, instead of waiting here, waking up those sleeping soldiers one by one, and then instructing Fan Qing's guards to wake Fan Qing up in another hour, Zheng Guang rushed to the city wall with more than 200 soldiers.

When he arrived at the city wall, except for a few soldiers who were still standing on the city wall to stand on guard, most of them had collapsed on the ground and fell asleep, Zheng Guang frowned, and at the same time felt a little afraid, fortunately the Japanese did not attack last night, otherwise, it was really dangerous, Zheng Guang arranged for the soldiers who did not go to the city wall to assist the firearms troops to carry the heavier firearms on the city wall, and at the same time arranged for the soldiers who had been staring on the city wall all night to go down to the city to rest.

Everyone didn't know Zheng Guang's identity, seeing that he was wearing a Confucian robe and a soft armor on the outside, he thought he was an official, so he obeyed it, and the city began to get busy, Zheng Guang saw Zhang Sicheng who was sleeping on the ground on the city wall, and couldn't help but step forward and pat Zhang Sicheng: "County Zun? Prefectural honor? Wake up, this is not a good place to sleep. ”

Zhang Sicheng woke up slowly, opened his eyes and saw Zheng Guang's face, he was stunned at first, then sat up suddenly, looked around, and was even more surprised, and only after a while did he realize that he was on the city wall instead of on the familiar bed, and shook his head with a painful face: "I almost lost this life here...... I'm a literati, not a general! ”

Zheng Guang said helplessly: "County Zun, you can go back and rest for a while, leave it to me here!" ”

Zhang Sicheng looked at Zheng Guang, nodded, stood up with Zheng Guang's support, and said: "It's hard for you to do these things, there is really no one in Suzhou, what is needed, just tell me that I can't fight, but the logistics supply, I can guarantee it, but I don't dare to let the Japanese invade the city, once the Japanese enter the city, not to mention the misery, we will die without a place to be buried." ”

Zheng Guang solemnly swore an oath: "Before Zheng Guang dies in battle, he will never let a single soldier enter the city!" ”

Zhang Sicheng's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, only said "I'm going to prepare some breakfast for the soldiers", and left the city wall, Zheng Guang didn't pay attention to Zhang Sicheng anymore, and set his eyes on the Japanese outside the city, yesterday the sky was dark, and the fire alone could not judge the exact number of Japanese invaders, it was early in the morning, although it was not very clear, but at least I could see the distance from the city wall about a thousand steps, and the unsuspecting Japanese who slept together.

Now, Zheng Guang understands what it means to be black.

At the same time, Zheng Guang also found some very interesting things, these Japanese robbers are all dressed in the same style, tattered single clothes on the upper body, Ming style shorts on the lower body, and Japanese-style crotch parts, and many people are wrapped in turbans, all in all, the clothes are not covered, and the clothes are very good adjectives, but their weapons and equipment are very perfect, at least Zheng Guang saw spears and spears and long knives and short knives.

Zheng Guang knew in his heart that eight or nine out of ten of these so-called "Wu Kou" were Chinese, and a small number of Zhen Wu were the killer of the real elite troops, rarely fighting, and the main force was also these coastal residents who dressed as Wu Kou in costumes, but even so, Zheng Guang would not regard them as good people, and the Chinese were more ruthless to themselves than to outsiders.

Zheng Guang's only doubt is that since there are so many of them, why did they suddenly appear here, the base camp of the Japanese is in the east, and this is already the back and west side of Suzhou, how did the Japanese sneak in unknowingly? Could it be that these "Wu Kou" have the skill of changing clothes, restoring the Chinese costume when they come, and changing into the costume of the Wu Kou when they arrive at the destination?

Thinking about it this way, it is not impossible, since these Wukou are all Chinese, they must also have families, in order to ensure the safety of their families, they will definitely hide their Chinese identity from the outside world, when he exists as a Chinese and when he exists as a Wukou, it is probably two postures, two looks, unknown to each other.

In this case, is this raid on Suzhou a well-prepared and well-planned operation? In order to plunder Suzhou, a rich oil-flowing city? It's not impossible to think like this, and it's even very likely that this is the case, the government must have gotten the information that the Japanese were about to attack Suzhou through some means, but the information was leaked, and the Japanese changed the plan, modified the time and method, but the ultimate goal did not change.

Suzhou!

When Zheng Guang was looking at these Japanese robbers, these "Japanese robbers" were also looking at this somewhat dilapidated but still very tall city wall, a man in his thirties who was dressed extraordinarily and had an amazing figure stared at the city wall not far away, and then said: "Sure enough, as the intelligence said, the east city wall of Suzhou is strong and often overhauled, but the west city wall is dilapidated and rarely repaired. ”

A man with a roe head and a rat next to him echoed: "Chief LinkedIn, actually turned the regiment of the officers and soldiers around, they thought that we would go to the government when we tested, and when we chose the township test, when all the defense forces were concentrated in Nanjing, we could safely and quickly break through Suzhou, snatch all the firearms and that batch of food, and when the official and military reinforcements arrived, we would have left long ago, hahahaha!" ”

The tall man also laughed, and then said: "Thank you to those guys, if it weren't for them, how could we know that the official army was actually planning to ambush us before, hum, Tang Kekuan's livestock, Lao Tzu doesn't want to touch him!" Like a mad dog, if you catch us, you will bite us, and if you can't beat it, you will still fight, I have never seen such a desperate officer and army, if it is against that animal, at least a third of our two or three thousand people will be buried here! But it doesn't matter, after robbing Suzhou this time, our strength can be raised to a higher level, and we can go back and recruit a little more people. ”

The roe-headed rat-eyed man frowned and said, "It's just that, chief, Xin Goro is still angry that we didn't agree to his sneak attack on the city wall last night, thinking that we don't believe them, and still saying that as long as his samurai team climbs the city wall, those waste officers and soldiers will definitely not be his opponents." ”

The tall man sneered: "Just his more than 100 people, he dares to make a big statement in front of us, if you are someone else, you let him try, and he will eat him after dividing five by two!" It's getting more and more arrogant, I really think I'm a character, isn't it just a broken household! What kind of samurai to show off all day long, bah! When Tang Kekuan turned his head and ran, he almost killed Lao Tzu! When we go back this time, we will do him, so that he will not be noisy all day long!

This time we are trying to force the officials and soldiers to open the city gate and surrender, there are no soldiers in Suzhou City, those waste officers and soldiers can't hold the city at all, let's line up later, go to them to play a majestic show, those timid officials will definitely open the city gate and surrender, as long as we promise not to kill people, they will definitely open the city gate! ”

The roe-headed rat-eyed man hesitated: "But chief, not to mention that this Suzhou is one of the most important cities in the Ming Dynasty, just saying that there are so many firearms in this city, can't those officials and soldiers use them, so how many cannons can they fire?" If you surrender so easily, then the officials in Suzhou will die? That's not the seven-pin prefect, Fan Qing is the five-pin prefect! If he surrenders, not to mention whether we will spare him, the Ming Court will definitely not let him go, will he surrender? ”

The tall man smiled: "Do you think that firearms are so easy to use, that everyone can use them?" I know that there are only a few troops in the official army that can use firearms, all of them are on the front line, none of them are in Suzhou, the officers and soldiers in Suzhou are either miscellaneous or government servants, they don't know how to use firearms at all, they may not even be able to hold knives, they can't fight with us, plus Governor Su Song is now in Nanjing, and there is a Fan Qing in Suzhou City, how do you say that idiom? Oh! It's hard to stand alone!

This old boy once faced me, followed Tang Kekuan's team and fought with me, not a good stubble, but the matter has come to this, he himself has no soldiers and no generals, Tang Kekuan is not here, after the city is broken, he will die, at that time Lao Tzu was unhappy with a fire to burn Suzhou out, who is crying? If he honestly opens the city gate and opens the treasury honestly, Lao Tzu is in a good mood, he doesn't kill people, the money is gone, but his life is saved, if he is a person who understands, he can understand the truth here. ”

The roe deer-headed rat-eyed man's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, chief, if Suzhou is burned, the entire southeast will be full of blood!" We're all done! Those guys all have industries in Suzhou City! Burn Suzhou, that will turn the world upside down! ”

The tall man rolled his eyes: "Nonsense! Of course I do! Didn't you deceive Fan Qing! He doesn't know! He only knew that I was a widow, and he didn't know where I came from and where I was going, and he didn't even know my real name, so I said I was going to slaughter the city, do you think he would believe it or not? Stupid! The brain is brighter, doing what we do, licking blood from the knife edge, and the head is tied to the waistband of the trousers, do you think it's so easy to pretend to be Japanese chops? ”

The roe head rat-eyed man looked pale, smiled, and said: "LinkedIn Ming, LinkedIn Ming, it's just that the Japanese miscellaneous clothes are too dirty and smelly, and they are uncomfortable to wear." ”

The tall man said helplessly: "Then what else?" Put back on our own clothes? You don't want to die? Okay, okay, immediately gather people, line up, and enter Suzhou! ”

"Yes!"

On the city wall, Zheng Guang, who found that the Japanese were starting to make some movements, became nervous, and strictly ordered the soldiers to push the firearms back to ensure that the Japanese could not see the firearms on the city wall from under the city wall, for the purpose of sudden attacks, all the soldiers who could use bows and arrows with bows and arrows, and those who could use crossbow arrows with crossbow arrows, were all lined up, not to mention combat effectiveness, at least the formation must be there!

At the same time, Zheng Guang sent people to the warehouse to inform Fan Qing that the Japanese were about to attack the city!
