Chapter 291: Rescue
Although Gao Huaiyuan originally planned to personally take the Wusheng Battalion into the city this time, he couldn't withstand the opposition of Hua Yue's subordinates, firstly because the arrow wound on his right hand had not healed, and the other was that he was now the commander in chief, and he couldn't easily wade into danger, so Gao Huaiyuan had no choice but to give up his position to Hua Yue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info.
After letting go of Yang Miaozhen's episode, everyone began to nervously focus on the city wall of Chuzhou City, which was three miles away.
Calculating the time, the gunpowder fuse should have burned under the city wall, but so far there has been no incident, and everyone can't help but sweat in their palms.
If the gunpowder does not explode, then they will be tossed in vain tonight, and there is no other way but to go back to the camp to rest.
Gao Huaiyuan was secretly anxious in his heart, but he couldn't reveal it, just when they were in a hurry, suddenly the ground shook suddenly, and the section of the city wall in front of him suddenly seemed to be held up by something, arching upwards for a while, and then many lamp balls and torches fell one after another on the city, and then I saw that this section of the city wall began to slowly collapse, and the ground began to shake violently.
After a while, a series of dull roars from the ground were heard, and the entire Chuzhou City was in chaos everywhere as if it was boiling.
Gao Huaiyuan roared when he saw that the walls of Chuzhou City in front of him were beginning to collapse.
With his roar, more than a dozen large drums that had already been lined up outside the gate were beaten by the drummers who had thrown off their arms at the same time, and the sound of war drums suddenly spread throughout the battlefield.
Hua Yue raised the big gun in his hand, and then shouted:
The officers and soldiers of the Wusheng Battalion who followed him immediately shouted in unison: Then they rushed towards Chuzhou City with Hua Yue.
The rest of the siege soldiers and horses, following the Wusheng battalion, shouted in unison to kill the word, shouting to kill the heavens and surging towards Chuzhou City.
Although Li Quan has been commanding the fight in the city for a day during the day, he is already physically and mentally tired, but after enjoying this beautiful woman of **, he still has no sleep, I don't know why, he always has a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and always feels that something may happen tonight.
So he lay down and rested for a while, and as soon as the second watch arrived, he got up again, took his soldiers out of the courtyard, and walked towards the west gate.
Li Quan had just walked halfway when he met the subordinate he had sent to inspect the urn this evening, and the subordinate had an anxious look on his face, and hurried over to block the way of Li Quan and his party.
Li Quan heard this and then chuckled in his heart, he was afraid that the Song army would attack the city and play tricks, and if he couldn't attack it, he would take the method of digging tunnels to attack the city, and today he also deliberately checked the urn buried in the city, but he didn't find anything abnormal, I didn't expect him to be afraid of what or something, as a perennial battler, he knew what the sudden drop in the water level of the well meant, so it seems that the enemy's onslaught in the past few days is actually digging tunnels for them to cover, and it can be guessed that the tunnels of the Song army should be about to dig into the city, Otherwise, there would not be such a situation in the city's wells.
After hearing this, Li Quan became furious.
That Li Quan's subordinate also had some experience, and immediately found a suitable explanation.
Li Quandang asked.
One of his men quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Li Quan's mind turned sharply, and he sneered and said:
A person named Qian Laosan who followed Li Quan immediately agreed, and immediately went to start arranging, most of the people in the city were concentrated in the west and south of the city at this time, helping the defenders to transport all kinds of imperial things, even at night they were not allowed to go home to rest, and were guarded by Li Quan's troops, and it was not difficult to mobilize, Qian Laosan soon shouted at a lot of people, drove them to start distributing tools, and ordered them to dig trenches within the city walls, trying to prevent the Song army from digging tunnels into the city.
Li Quan looked at the sky, asked the time, and then asked one of the lieutenants who accompanied him:
The lieutenant immediately replied:
Li Quan glanced at the people who were being driven to dig trenches, nodded and said:
The lieutenant immediately bowed in agreement, then turned on his horse and galloped towards the south gate of the city.
At this time, in the dark shadows of the alley behind Li Quan's mansion, dozens of figures flashed, and they crept through several alleys, unknowingly killing a few sentries guarding the street along the way, and finally sneaked under the wall of the backyard of Li Quan's mansion.
Li Quan was worried that some generals in the city were disloyal, so he detained their wives and children in the backyard of the house in advance, and left two hundred soldiers to be responsible for guarding these people, once they found that someone was in trouble, they immediately pulled out their wives and children and beheaded them on the spot, at the beginning, these women were still noisy, and Zhang Wu's family, who tried to rebel some time ago, was killed on the spot outside the courtyard gate, and now these women and children who are being detained in the courtyard are all in danger, and they no longer dare to resist at all, they can only honestly pray for their men, Don't betray Li Quan, provoke them to follow them.
Li Quan's mansion is actually a former official residence, when Li Quan and the imperial court turned against each other and controlled Chuzhou City, they occupied here, which is located in the south of the center of Chuzhou City, in addition to the two hundred guards in the mansion, there are also some descendants of soldiers and horses around, once something happens, it will soon be able to support, Li Quan is assured of the safety of his mansion.
But tonight seems to be a little unusual, a group of people actually quietly touched the back of Li Quan's mansion, but did not alarm the guards in the mansion, just after the second watch, they lurked in place.
Wang Sanquan carried a small machine crossbow on his back, a sharp waist knife hung from his waist, led dozens of capable Shi Qing's subordinates, and lurked behind Li Quan's mansion, and after hearing the watchman on the street knocking on the bangzi and walking over, he immediately opened his mouth and let out a few nightingale's calls, so after a few times, he saw a figure on an arrow tower at the corner of Li Quan's mansion on the backyard swaying, and a person climbed the arrow tower, patted the soldier on duty on the arrow tower, and said a few words, The sentry officer then handed the bow to the man, turned and walked down the tower.
The person who climbed the arrow tower stretched out his head to look at the alley behind him a few times, and then also learned to make a few birdsongs, Wang Sanquan immediately jumped out of the darkness with these people behind him, quickly gathered under the arrow tower, and raised his hand and threw out a few rope claws, hooked on the wall.
Then a group of people like raccoon cats, each showed their skills, pulled the rope and climbed the courtyard wall, the person on the arrow tower nervously for them to control the wind, constantly beckoning them to hurry up, it didn't take long, Wang Sanquan took dozens of people over the courtyard wall, along the corner tower into the courtyard.
Wang Sanquan lowered his voice and asked the person on the arrow tower.
The man looked around, and then replied in a low voice to Wang Sanquan.
Wang Sanquan patted the person on the shoulder, and immediately went down to the corner tower after saying that, waving his hand to let the people he brought disperse immediately.
Li Quan's mansion is very large, and there are many rooms in the back garden, and now the wives and children of important leaders in the army are basically housed, and his personal soldiers are arranged in front of the courtyard, divided into four shifts to guard and guard these people in the courtyard.
And Wang Sanquan had already investigated the situation in the courtyard in advance, and arranged various matters, this operation undoubtedly took a big risk, but in order to be able to help Gao Huaiyuan a lot when Gao Huaiyuan broke the city, he still decided to take a risk, this time he used several Li Quan's personal soldiers who had been bought in advance, and colluded with them to rescue the wives and children of Shi Qing and other leaders.
For the sake of his wife and children, as well as for his own life, Shi Qing paid a bloody investment, selected dozens of the most capable and capable people from his subordinates, and handed them over to Wang Sanquan to lead, Wang Sanquan must rescue these people before the third watch, so that Shi Qing's gang will no longer be constrained by Li Quan.
