252 Stealing the city
In August and September, there is neither the unbearable heat of summer nor the bitter chill of winter, and it is the most comfortable time of the year. Not only the people feel this way, but for those who serve in the army, especially the soldiers stationed at the city wall, this time is also the most pleasant time of the year.
Since the Manchu Dynasty's agent in Shanxi, Tang Tong and his army, were annihilated in one fell swoop by the premeditated Chitu and Feng Laohu, the Manchu Qing had given up most of their forces in Shanxi, and used the main force to defend the Gyeonggi region and Nanzhili. The eight families, who were once famous in the entire Shanxi and the Ming Dynasty, made timely moves.
It's not that they want to confront the strong Shaanxi Ming Army, but they have to do it, they also know that what they have done for so many years, what they have done is to be beheaded all over the house, especially when they found out, Shi Lei, who is now in power in the Hongguang Imperial Court in Shaanxi, hates the traitors very much, in this case, how dare they surrender, I'm afraid, as soon as they surrender today, what awaits them tomorrow is the result of the beheading of the eight families.
Therefore, on the one hand, it is for the inheritance of their own family, on the other hand, they still have great hopes for the Manchu Dynasty, after all, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty failed, but now after all, it is strong, not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under their hands, and they also occupy the provinces of Nanzhili, Shandong, etc. In the end, it is still unknown who will kill the deer, so since they have already boarded the thief ship of the Manchu court, they can only go on.
It was in this situation that the eight families of Shanxi, with the support of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, relied on the advantage of being wealthy. Quickly recruited troops, and soon formed an army of tens of thousands of people, of course, many of them were originally Tang Tong or Ming army, and even many of the rout of the Dashun army, that is, this rout army in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, under the temptation of the eight families' heavy money, resisted Liang Zhendong's strong attack.
Later, Shaanxi was attacked by Zhang Xianzhong. Then there were several big moves, resulting in a decrease in support for Liang Zhendong, Liang Zhendong had no choice but to stop the attack, for a while, the entire Sanjin region, just fell into a situation of double confrontation, the two sides to Taiyuan Mansion as the dividing line. The northern part and the city of Taiyuan were occupied by Liang Zhendong, while the southern part was occupied by the Eight Great Families. In this way, the two sides barely survived.
Luzhou Mansion, that is, Changzhi County in later generations, although it is located in the Taihang Mountains, is not an important location because it is not an important location, so even in this war season. There were not many troops stationed, in addition to the 1,000 garrisons, there were 2,000 locally recruited people to defend, of course, what would happen if there was a real war. I'm afraid only God knows.
The same is true today, when the moon is in the sky, the soldiers of the Eight Great Families who were supposed to be stationed at the head of the city are all hiding in the squad room at this time, drinking and gambling, of course, these night vigilers are not regular soldiers, but locally recruited people, for these people, they were recruited for the purpose of mixing rice and eating, as for what to fight or something, it is too far away from them.
Unfortunately, what they didn't expect was that the war was not far from them, at this time under the city where they had no idea, a pair of black shadows with more than two hundred were quietly approaching the city wall from not far away, and when they came to the city wall, they saw a person take out a two-finger-thick hemp rope from his body, and at the top of the hemp rope, there was a cold and shining hook, and then the man in black chose an inconspicuous position under the city, and rotated the hemp rope with a hook in his hand a few times in the air, Then he raised his hand and threw it, and saw the hook with hemp rope, and quickly fell towards the city.
In the night, I heard a crisp 'clang', which was the sound of steel and the masonry on the city wall, although this sound was very crisp in the silent night, fortunately, most of the defenders above the city were drinking and gambling, and the rest were already drowsy, even if someone heard it, they only thought that it was their own people, and did not suspect that the enemy had invaded.
Half a day later, the black-clothed man under the city found that there was nothing unusual on the city, and after making a few gestures to other black-clothed people around him, he grabbed the hemp rope, followed the city wall, and quickly climbed to the top of the city, the city wall of the state capital, although it was taller than the general county, but it was only three zhang high, and it was now, that is, less than ten meters away, soon, the black-clothed man climbed up to the city, after observing the situation at the head of the city, he shook the hemp rope, and soon, there was a black-clothed man who also ran up from below, In this way, as more and more people in black climbed up to the top of the city, the speed of the people in black became faster and faster, because after each man in black came up, he would take out a hemp rope from his waist and hang down from the city.
When more than 200 black-clothed people all climbed up to the top of the city, I heard one of the black-clothed men who looked like the leader say, "I took a closer look just now, the defenders should be about 100 people, Zhao Laosan, you have to bring people to control them, Qin Laoliu, you take people to open the city gate, and at the same time send a signal to the large army, let them come quickly, and the rest of the people, go to the barracks for me, control their generals for me, and the province will cause trouble for us." You all have to remember Lao Tzu, this is the first time that our special brigade has carried out a mission, who dares to give Lao Tzu a leak, and Lao Tzu will kill him alive when the time comes. I'm going to show those little people that my special brigade is invincible in the world. ”
As soon as the words of the leader in black were finished, the remaining men in black nodded at the same time, and soon, they were divided into three with a very tacit understanding, each under the leadership of their respective leaders, towards their own goals, with mental calculation or unintentional, one side was premeditated, the other party was unprepared, and the gap between the two sides was also very large, in this case, failure was essential.
When the more than 200,000 people in the entire Luzhou Mansion were still asleep, no one noticed that the controller of the Luzhou Mansion had quietly changed.
Standing on the top of the city, watching tens of thousands of troops, slowly passing through Luzhou Mansion, above the city, Liang Zhendong excitedly said to the leader of the black-clothed man on the side, "Hahaha, this time I really thank General Liu for your help, if it weren't for your shot, I'm afraid we are still thinking about if we can pass through the enemy's blockade and go to Henan unconsciously, I didn't expect that this problem was solved so easily by you, to be honest, when Lord Shi said it, I really couldn't believe it, but now it seems, Liang really admires the five-body throw! ”
Hearing Liang Zhendong's words, the leader of the man in black had a triumphant look on his face, but he still pretended to be modest and said, "Where, where, it's just a trivial matter, this is just insignificant compared to when I blew up the Manchu Tartars outside Tongguan City with only a few dozen people, hundreds of artillery, Lord Liang is really filtered, besides, these my special brigade is also doing things according to Lord Shi's orders, all for the court and Lord Shi, we don't have to be humble with each other, now the military situation is urgent, you better leave quickly, If we have the opportunity in the future, we drink together. ”
Hearing the words of the leader of the men in black, Liang Zhendong also hurriedly left.
Looking at Liang Zhendong, who left in a hurry, several black-clothed people behind the black-clothed man whispered, "It's weird, how is this different from the captain's usual style, if it is usual, with such a good opportunity to brag, he doesn't wish that people would listen to him for three days and three nights, but now how can he drive General Liang away like driving people, this is really weird." ”
Hearing the words of the man in black behind him, before the other person could answer, he saw the man in black who was the leader, turned around sharply and stared at the man in black who was talking, and then said lightly, "His grandmother's, Zhao Laosan, your skin is itching again, isn't it, wait until you go back this time, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up." ”
Hearing the words of the leader in black, the person called Zhao Laosan was not afraid, but still said with a smile, "Hahaha, head, you have to clean me up, I have no opinion, but before that, you have to tell us first, why did you take General Liang away so abnormally today, could it be that he once offended you and made you so unhappy." ”
Zhao Laosan's words, as soon as he finished speaking, he was approved by everyone around him, and in desperation, the leading man in black suddenly said angrily, "Bastard, what do you boys know, you don't want to think about what Lao Tzu's identity is, Lao Tzu was the first to follow Lord Shi, but after so many years, it was originally a good luck and mixed with a battalion commander, with Lao Tzu's old qualifications, usually those people, except for a few big people, are ordinary brigade commanders who have to be polite when they see Lao Tzu, but you look at now, Lao Tzu and his grandmother have been demoted from a battalion commander to a captain, what is this grandmother's matter, although Lao Tzu is directly under the management of Lord Shi, but now that I see people like Liang Zhendong, I actually have to salute, do you say that Lao Tzu can not feel guilty, I feel uncomfortable, Lao Tzu doesn't hurry up and let him leave, do you want Lao Tzu to be disgusted to death, so that you can usurp the throne. While saying that, the leader of the man in black was still aggrieved, and such an expression made everyone around him laugh suddenly.
