Chapter 499: Sneak Attack on the Gunpowder Supervisor

Zhao Bao said: "General Zhang, the south gate is close to the palace, when you go, you will send someone to inform the imperial guards to control Lord Lan Yulan. Also, if the area around the south gate is normal, go to the gunpowder supervisor outside the city and tell the guards there to strengthen their vigilance. ”

"Yes, General."

"This is the Nine Gates' Admiral Token, you take it."

Zhang Gui took the token and said, "Okay, then I will leave here." ”

Zhao Baomu sent Zhang Gui away, and said to Qian's friends: "Lord Qian, the safety of the main government offices in the city will be handed over to the officials of your Lin'an Mansion. ”

"Okay, don't worry, General."

There are fifteen gates in Lin'an City, large and small, and the farthest from the north gate to the south gate need to run through the entire Lin'an. After Zhang Gui left the north gate, he immediately stepped on his war horse, and galloped straight south surrounded by dozens of personal guards. Fortunately, at this time, Lin'an City was still asleep, and the streets were extremely smooth, running all the way, passing through the Royal Street, bypassing the Imperial Palace, and arriving at the southernmost Jiahui Gate after two quarters of an hour.

When making a detour to the palace, Zhang Gui did not forget Zhao Bao's entrustment and sent someone to inform Lan Yu.

At the same time, Fang Chenqian and Yang Lian Zhenjia led 1,200 men in black to the gunpowder superintendent.

Since the successful trial production of the artillery, there have been as many as 100 imperial guards stationed in the Gunpowder Superintendent on a permanent basis, and the total strength of the Gunpowder Superintendent has reached about 400 people, plus the more than 300 guards of the Gunpowder Superintendent itself. When I went to Xiangyang, I transferred a battalion of troops from the 16th Army of the Independent Box of the Lin'an Military Region to take charge of the defense of the perimeter of the Gunpowder Prison, so that the total number of defenders of the entire Gunpowder Supervision was about 1,000.

About thirty meters away from the gate of the Gunpowder Supervisor, Fang Chen said, "High Priest, you come to arrange the task." ”

"Yes, big boss." Yang Lian Zhenjia said to the six elders, "The gunpowder prison has only this gate, according to what we know, the guards inside are divided into three layers, the outermost is a regular battalion of the Song army, guarding the outer gate of the gunpowder prison and the outer courtyard, the second layer is the guard of the gunpowder prison itself, guarding the gate of the inner courtyard, and the innermost guard is the imperial guard of a hundred-man team. Elders, according to the plan, I and the Third Elder Fang Heshan, the Seventh Elder Shi Liuxing and the first team of five hundred soldiers took the lead in attacking, after capturing the gate, Elder Fang and Elder Shi were responsible for eliminating or containing the Song Army's battalion soldiers, and then the Great Elder Wang Shangyuan, the Fourth Elder Master Kong Ming and the Sixth Elder Fang Chenqi led the second team of three hundred soldiers to rush to the inner courtyard gate, and then, the Great Master personally led the most elite team of 100 people and 100 Mongolian instructors to enter the inner courtyard from the inner courtyard gate, in a group of five, Waiting for the opportunity to find the gunpowder storage place of the Gunpowder Superintendent, and set it on fire, the eighth elder Pang Zeyao led the remaining fourth team of 200 soldiers to stay outside to respond, and after the matter was completed, everyone evacuated separately, and went west from Daci Mountain to Xiaomeishan outside Meilin Town, Ningguo Mansion. Elders, do you remember clearly? ”

"High Priest, I'll remember it later."

"Alright, let's go."

Although the soldiers of this battalion defending the outer courtyard of the gunpowder prison were eliminated by Yin Yinglei, they also underwent a period of brutal training, and although their combat effectiveness was almost the same as that of ordinary soldiers, their vigilance was higher.

Although Yang Lian Zhenjia and the others, who were dressed in black, were cautious, they were still discovered by the sentry of the Song army ten meters before they came to the gate.

"There is a situation." The sentry shouted, and then sounded a gong and drum beside him. In an instant, the sound of "bang, bang, bang" immediately sounded in the silent night sky.

The people around know that the gunpowder prison is a forbidden place, and no one can enter it without the edict from the palace on weekdays, let alone a large number of black-clothed people of unknown origin who suddenly appeared in the dark?

Sentinels are not stupid, and naturally know that they will not be good.

Seeing this, Yang Lian Zhenjia, who was at the front, shouted "rush", and he took the three elders Fang He Mountain and the Seven Elders Shi Meteor to quickly sweep forward like three big birds. The gunpowder prison gate is not as tall as the city gate, and of course there is no problem in dealing with ordinary people, but for a master of the level of Yang Lian Zhenjia, it is far from enough.

The guarding Song army didn't have time to bend their bows and arrows, so they saw three figures like a gust of wind, "whoosh, whoosh" and jumped over the parapet wall of the outer courtyard.

Yang Lian Zhenjia and the others are so martial arts, the guards are not opponents at all, and in an instant, more than a dozen guards in front of the gate were beaten to the ground.

"Elder Shi, break the door."

"Okay." Stone Meteor took out the meteor hammer on his body and smashed it towards the lock of the gate. The Shi family's martial arts swords and hammers are unique, and the stone meteor is known for its great strength, and under the three hammers, the iron lock will be broken. Opening the door, five hundred black-clothed people outside poured in like a tide.

Fortunately, the gongs and drums sounded at the sentry post in advance, and a group of defenders, led by the battalion commander, rushed out of the barracks and fought fiercely with the men in black. The well-trained officers and men of the Song army quickly stabilized the situation, and the two sides were fighting evenly for the time being.

In less than a cup of tea, Yang Lian Zhenjia saw that the three hundred soldiers of the second team led by the Great Elder Wang Shangyuan, the Fourth Elder Master Kong Ming, and the Sixth Elder Fang Chenqi also rushed in, and hurriedly said loudly: "The Third Elder, the Seventh Elder, this is handed over to you." With that, he rushed straight to the inner courtyard with Wang Shangyuan and the others. The Song army guarding the outer courtyard was all entangled by the men in black, and they had no time to take care of the second team of men in black who had just rushed in.

The guards in the inner courtyard had already heard the alarm, and closed the door, and dozens of archers stood on the escalator, shooting feathered arrows at the men in black who rushed up. For the sake of ease of movement, the man in black did not put on his battle armor, and many of the soldiers who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground.

Great Elder Wang Shangyuan waved his iron spear, and the empty Ming Toutuo, who was dancing with a Zen staff, quickly came to the front and blocked rounds of feather arrows for the man in black. Fang Chenqi, who was light and agile, jumped over the courtyard wall of the inner courtyard and took the lead in entering it together with Yang Lian Zhenjia.

Zhang Gui and the others inspected the various gates of the south gate, and when they saw that everything was as usual, they ordered the guards at each gate to take strict precautions, and he took fifty guards to the direction of the gunpowder prison.

At this time, the east has been slightly brightened.

Not long after he walked out, Zhang Gui suddenly heard an alarm from the direction of the Gunpowder Administration: "En? Listen, there is an alarm. ”

Several guards beside him pricked up their ears, listened carefully, and said, "No, general, we didn't hear it." ”

"Did I hear me wrong?" Zhang Gui thought to himself, but still ordered, "Xu Quan, you take ten people to run forward." ”

"Yes, General."

Yun Zhongfei, the commander of the imperial guards, heard the alarm from the outer courtyard at the first time, and jumped up from the bed with a "poof" sound. The quality of the imperial guards was far stronger than the other guards, and when Yun Zhongfei came outside the house, in addition to the fifty guards on patrol, the rest of the fifty guards had almost all rushed out of the dormitory.

"The first and second squads, follow me to the gate of the inner courtyard, the third to tenth squads are guarding here, remember, this is the Hongyun Gate, which is the last main road to the core of the Gunpowder Supervisor, you must hold it no matter what, and you can use grenades when necessary."

"Yes, Cloud Lord."

At this time, Yun Bofei, Chen Dongping, who were resting, also came out of the house one after another, Yun Bofei heard the shouting of killing in the outer courtyard getting louder and louder, and hurriedly asked people to organize thirty musket testers to come to Hongyunmen, these thirty musket testers were all armed with muskets, lined up in two teams, and stood together with eighty imperial guards. At the same time, other craftsmen and workers, under the command of Chen Dongping, moved the 500 projectiles that had just been produced and had not yet been delivered to the front line to Hongyunmen.

When hundreds of gunpowder guards saw someone passing over the wall, they hurriedly raised their swords and surrounded Yang Lian Zhenjia and Fang Chenqi in the middle. The two of them were not afraid, Yang Lian Zhenjia was bare-handed, his palms were like flying, and Fang Chenqi waved the long sword in his palm, shuttling through the guards.

Wang Shangyuan and Kong Ming quickly rushed to the gate of the inner courtyard while striking the feather arrows. The gate of the inner courtyard and the gate of the outer courtyard were almost sturdy, and it didn't take long for the lock to be smashed by the empty Zen staff, and more than a hundred black-clothed people behind rushed up, pushed open the gate, and rushed in with the two elders. Under the command of Wang Shangyuan, the more than 100 black-clothed men immediately fought with the guards guarding the inner courtyard.

Although the number of guards in the inner courtyard was superior and they had undergone strict training, they saw that the leaders of the black-clothed men who took the lead were extremely brave, and there was no master on their side to suppress the formation, and the momentum was suppressed at once, and the attack and defense were reversed, and they suddenly fell into a bitter battle.

"Where's Xiaoxiao? Dare to come here to make trouble. At this moment, Yun Zhongfei, who arrived in time, burst out and shouted.

Although the number of guards in front of the palace is very small, all of them are strong in martial arts, and with the addition of these twenty guards, the guards in the inner courtyard are like taking a reassuring pill, relying on their own strength to regain their position.

Fang Chenqi saw Yun Zhongfei holding a long sword, full of energy, and the leader of the other party, he must be a good swordsman, he couldn't help but feel an itch in his heart, brushed a few swords, repelled the enemy in front of him, and pounced towards Yun Zhongfei. In the Heavenly Dao Alliance, although this Fang Chenqi was one of the eight elders, he had no interest in the matter of commanding troops to fight, so he had to practice martial arts and practice swords, but due to the limitations of his talent, he was never able to achieve great success, and only wandered in the fourth realm.

Yun Zhongfei suddenly saw a man in black attacking with a sword, and hurriedly responded.

The sword is light and agile, and both of them are fast and fast, and they have dismantled more than ten moves in the blink of an eye.

Although Yun Zhongfei is young, he is very experienced. In addition to the sword-wielding man in front of him, there are at least three people in black whose martial arts are not weaker than their own, and even two of them are still above their own martial arts. The strength of these black-clothed people is no less than that of the three major martial arts families, which force will it be?

Although the guards of the gunpowder prison began to counterattack, Yun Zhongfei became more and more frightened the more he fought, the black-clothed men led by the three were too high, and the guards in the inner courtyard had almost no enemies, even if they were the imperial guards, they were also in groups of five, forming a formation to face the battle, Rao was so, and he could only defend hard.
