Chapter 530 Entering the City

"How's that for good? We do have an urgent need to get into town. Fan Liangfu said as he handed the defender a piece of broken silver, "Master Jun, is there a way to be accommodating?" ”

The defender who took the silver suddenly smiled and said: "Fan Gongzi, there is a way, that is, to ask the people in the city to jointly guarantee it, if there are more than five people who jointly sign the guarantee, and pay the entrance fee of five taels of silver, you can apply for a temporary entry voucher for the city, but I don't know if Fan Gongzi has any acquaintances in the city?" ”

"Master Jun, Brother Zai is also a defender in the city, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Really, who?"

"Menghuan Mountain."

"Brother Meng?" The defender hurriedly said, "Of course, Fan Gongzi wait a minute, Brother Meng is now a centurion, and he happens to be the boss of our company, so the younger one will go and call Brother Meng here and let him guarantee you." ”

Fan Liangfu was overjoyed and said: "Then thank you to Brother Junye." ”

Not long after, I heard a hearty voice coming: "Which brother is looking for me?" ”

"Big brother, it's me, Liangfu."

"Haha, it's the second brother who has arrived, no wonder I got up this morning, and the eldest brother heard the magpie chirping in front of the door, it turned out to be the good news." Meng Huanshan took the registration book handed over by the guards, signed his name, and took the two into the city after guaranteeing Wenzhang.

Coming to a secluded wine shop next to Daxiangguo Temple, Fan Liangfu saw that there was no one around, and said straight to the point: "Big brother, the younger brother has now joined the Song Army, and the emperor has given the younger brother as the sixth grade senator." ”

Meng Huanshan exclaimed: "Ah, what? ”

Night slowly fell, and as soon as the time (five o'clock) arrived, all the gates of Bianliang City were closed on time.

Since being promoted to centurion, Meng Huanshan rented a private house not far from the south gate. At this time, the three of them bought some food and drink, closed the doors and windows, and whispered in the house to discuss the plan of action for the night.

"Second brother, General Wen, after the end of the Battle of Xiangyang, the defense of Bianliang City was obviously tightened a lot, and at night, the guards of each city gate were all increased to three hundred-man teams, and one of the hundred-man teams must be soldiers of the Mongolian tribe or the Western Regions Semu tribe, although the eldest brother I was promoted to the centurion stationed at the south gate, but I still have to obey the orders of the Mongolian centurion Hezanshuo, and the key to the city gate is also in his hands. In addition, there are three military camps in Bianliang City, each with 2,000 soldiers in each barracks, one of which is close to the south gate, and the walking time is less than half a quarter, so we must open the city gate within a quarter of time, and the Song army outside the city will also attack the city within this moment. ”

Fan Liangfu nodded and said, "Big brother, can the centurion of another Han hundred-man team win it over?" ”

"Second brother, it is quite difficult to win it completely, that centurion is named Cheng Fei, with my friendship with him and his person, I must remain neutral, after all, he is also a Han with a commitment. The stakes are high, so it's better to improvise then. ”

Wen Zhang said: "Brother Meng, do you have a way to get the key to the city gate?" ”

"This can only be forced." Meng Huanshan thought for a while and said, "Hezanshuo has a strange personality and has always been unkind. According to the custom, Cheng Fei and I would go to the city gate every day after dinner, and we had to report to Ghazan Shuo once every two hours. General Wen, you and your second brother pretend to be soldiers and go with me, and when you are halfway through the hour (four o'clock in the morning), you will find an opportunity to kill Ghazan Shuo and seize the key. ”

Fan Liangfu and Wen Zhang didn't know the defense of the city gate, so they could only agree: "Okay, just decide." ”

At four o'clock in the morning, Meng Huanshan put a bottle of Chinese imperial liquid into his arms and took Wen and Fan to the garrison command post under the city gate. When he came to the door, Meng Huanshan motioned for Wen Zhang, Fan Liangfu and his two personal soldiers to stay outside, while he walked into the command post with another centurion, Cheng Fei.

"General Hezanshuo, everything is normal in the eastern section of the South Gate."

"General Hezanshuo, everything is normal in the west section of the South Gate."

"Okay, you two have worked hard." Hezanshuo said without raising his head, "The Southern Dynasty army has captured Dengzhou, although there is still some distance from our Bianliang City, but we can't be careless." ”

"Yes, General."

"Well, let's go down."

Meng Huanshan deliberately delayed two steps, and after Cheng Fei left, he said to Hezanshuo: "General, my subordinate cousin got a bottle of the Chinese imperial liquid of the Southern Dynasty, which is outside the door, and his subordinates dare not enjoy it alone, so he specially ...... it."

"Menghuan Mountain, the Chinese imperial liquid is a fine wine, take it in."

"Yes, yes, General." Meng Huanshan knew that Hezanshuo's only hobby was drinking, so he immediately called Fan Liangfu and Wen Zhang into the Dao, "Second brother, quickly dedicate the wine to the general." ”

Fan Liangfu let out a "grace", took out a bottle of Chinese imperial liquid from his arms and put it on the table.

Hezanshuo laughed, opened the wine bottle and smelled it, and said, "Good wine, not bad, Menghuanshan, you are not bad." ”

"The general has won the award, and his subordinates will pour it for you." Meng Huanshan said with a smile on his face.

"Not necessarily." Ghazan Shuo covered the stopper and said, "How can you drink alcohol while on duty?" Military orders cannot be violated. ”

"The general is right, his subordinates will take care of it for you." Menghuanshan said as he walked forward.

Hezanshuo was still vigilant, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, this Menghuanshan's performance today seemed to be too flattering, and he said at the moment: "Menghuanshan, I will collect it myself, you should go to the city gate to be on duty quickly." ”

"Yes, General, my subordinates will go." Meng Huanshan turned around and gave Wen Zhang and the others a hands-on look. The two of them understood, and suddenly drew their knives and moved, just like the two fierce tigers out of the mountain and the dragon in the water, only in the lightning and flint, they rushed to the front of Hezanshuo left and right, and slashed at him.

Wen and Fan are so martial arts, although Hezanshuo is not good in secret, but his hands and feet don't have time to react at all, and they die instantly.

Meng Huanshan hurriedly stepped forward, took the key to the city gate from Ghazan Shuo's waist, and hid Ghazan Shuo's body under the table, and the three of them immediately left the command post. Outside the command post, Meng Huanshan said to Cheng Fei: "Brother Cheng, you and I are both Han, if something happens later, I hope Brother Cheng will help me." ”

"What?" Cheng Fei was stunned, and before he could ask in detail, he saw that Meng Huanshan had left in a hurry, leaving only one sentence: "Everyone is Han." ”

Guarding the main gate of the south gate of Bianliang City was a team of 100 Mongolian soldiers, most of these soldiers had seen Menghuanshan, knew that he was a centurion stationed in the eastern section of the city gate, so politely asked Menghuanshan and others to leave quickly. Meng Huanshan didn't answer, but still led people forward quickly. At this time, a Mongolian colonel armed with a spear saw this and shouted loudly: "Menghuan Mountain, you are not allowed to stay here at night, hurry away." ”

"I'll leave right away." Meng Huanshan responded casually, but walked towards the gate at a faster speed. At the same time, Wen Zhang, who was behind him, suddenly moved forward, came to the shouting colonel with an arrow, cut his palm to his neck, and then snatched the spear in the soldier's hand.

"General Fan, General Meng, go and open the door quickly." After speaking, Wen Zhang took a spear and single-handedly stood in front of the arched culvert in front of the city gate.

At this moment, the Mongolian army immediately reacted, someone sounded the alarm drum, and most of them raised their weapons and attacked Wenzhang.

"Good time." Wen Zhang let out a loud shout, then took out the five throwing knives in his arms, shot the five people who rushed to the front, and then, with a wave of spears, stopped the Mongolian soldiers in front of the arch.

The city gate of Bianliang City is not easy to open, there are several big locks on it, Menghuanshan has not opened the city gate, so he can only try them one by one with Fan Liangfu.

According to the appointed time, Zhao Huai and others, who were crawling about 500 meters outside the city, were anxiously watching the city gate, and as soon as the city gate was opened, they could lead the army to rush in. For fear of the neighing of the war horses to attract the attention of the defenders in the city, the first hundred daredevils did not ride horses.

The unbearable waiting time passed little by little, and finally, Duan Donglou, who was beside Zhao Huai, said first: "General Zhao, the door is open." ”

"Okay, General Duan, General Meng, lead the daredevils, rush. Zhao Kun sent a signal to inform Lord Jiang in the back. ”

Zhao Huai's general, Zhao Kun, immediately lit a bunch of skyrocketing firecrackers with him, and then rushed forward with Zhao Huai.

Duan Donglou's speed was extremely fast, as a ranger, he took the lead, followed by Zhao Huai and Meng Tianxiang, who were extremely skillful, and the three of them rushed into the city gate in just a moment. Without the command of Hezanshuo, the Mongol defenders stationed at the south gate were all concentrated outside the culvert inside the city gate, and no one noticed that the Song army outside the city had quietly approached the city gate. The defenders on the city wall also walked down the city wall under the leadership of Cheng Fei, only shouting in the distance, and did not rush forward.

When Duan Donglou and others rushed into the city gate, they saw dozens of Yuan troops in front of the culvert mouth besieging Wen Wen and others. Zhao Huai, who came later, shouted: "General Wen, quickly retreat, and leave it to us here." ”

When Fan Liangfu and Meng Huanshan heard this, they immediately retreated, only Wen Zhangwu danced the spear in his hand and did not react. It wasn't until Zhao Huai rushed in front of Wen Zhang and took over the attack of the Yuan army that Wen Zhang smiled slightly, took two steps back and fell to the ground immediately.

"General Wen." Fan Liangfu's heart sank, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Wen Zhang, who was covered in blood.

Meng Huanshan, who is a little knowledgeable about medical science, took a closer look and said, "Second brother, it's okay, General Wen is just prostrating, and the wounds on his body are all skin injuries. ”

Fan Liangfu, who was relieved, praised: "General Wen is worthy of being the descendant of Longhu Mountain, when we opened the city gate, he resisted the attack of hundreds of people with his own strength, I might as well do it." However, fortunately, Cheng Fei's department did not join the battle, otherwise it would be difficult to stop it with the strength of the three of us. ”

As a close disciple of an unknown monk, Fan Liangfu has always been high-eyed, and in just a few days, he saw that Zhang Quanyi and Wen Zhang, both of whom were of average age, were both strong in martial arts.
