Chapter 665: Breaking the Door
Chapter 665: Breaking the Door
On June 20 of the third year of Tang Wude, the weather began to turn cloudy, and it was so hot from the morning that people wanted to scold their mother, but the rain just didn't come down. The white-faced Wu Bushan and the thin man Wang Qinian in the Wu Ji bun shop frowned, and the two of them glanced at each other and found that each other's faces were not very good-looking.
"Hopefully it won't rain at night......"
Wang Qinian took a bite of his favorite soup dumpling, and found that today's steamed bun has become no longer tempting at all, so tasteless, and there is no taste in his mouth at all.
"I'm afraid that the rain will last for a few days, and when the army will attack the city in the rain, it will be more difficult for the brothers, and the rain will not be able to raise their heads, and the Tang army on the city wall will have little impact on shooting arrows with their heads down...... If we can't find a chance again, even if the lord doesn't blame us, what face do we have to see the lord? ”
Wu Bushan shook his head and sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "If the fat man can't find a chance to get close to Xineiyuan, then I will take my brothers to break through, and if we wait like this, it can only be said that we are incompetent!" Even if the lives of hundreds of my brothers were to be put on the line, it would be better than losing thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers during the siege. ”
He glanced at Wang Qinian, hesitated for a moment and said, "I still have a mother-in-law in my hometown......"
"!"
Wang Qinian's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but scold: "Lao Tzu is most annoying about this kind of thing, you have a mother-in-law who cares about Lao Tzu's, do you want me to take over her?" Don't dick-bait bullshit, with Lao Tzu's identity, even if you find ten or eight yellow flower girls, is it still fucking difficult? You have to find a way to take care of your own mother-in-law, don't say these things to Lao Tzu...... If you have the ability, you will die, but you will see that Lao Tzu cares about your! ”
"Lao Wang......"
Wu Bushan, who was scolded, didn't get angry, just shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I don't count this matter, no one wants to die, but we really can't wait any longer, I'll go and gather the brothers in a while, if I'm lucky, it's not difficult to rush to the West Inner Garden." The dead fat man is now stared at too closely by Zhang Gongjin, and he doesn't necessarily have a chance to make a move. We can't wait until the evening, wait a little for the brothers to have a full meal, and then we will go on our way...... Nothing can be said to make the brothers starving ghosts. ”
"I ......"
Wang Qinian opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"I'm going to help with the noodles."
He stood up and rubbed his sour nose as he turned his back, feeling that his eyes were wet, and this feeling made him feel the urge to scold his mother. He walked to the kitchen, but found that a few young men in the kitchen were already busy with their work, making noodles and noodles, chopping meat and mincing meat, but the faces of several people were calm and unbelievable.
"Lao Wang, you still owe me three taels of silver, you lost the last gambling money and refused to give it!"
A young man muttered.
Wang Qinian took out the money bag from his cuffs with a sour nose, stuffed it into the young man's hand, and said with a forced smile: "You coward, can Lao Tzu still owe you a few taels of silver?" Lao Tzu is helping you take out a loan, you see, it's only been a few days and the interest has become dozens of taels, so you can steal the fun. ”
The young man counted out three taels of silver from the money bag and held it in the palm of his hand, smiled and then handed it to Wang Qinian: "Give it to my mother!" There is a fishing village on the edge of the Juyezawa Water Village, and the second family after entering is my family...... In fact, the stall has not given less money over the years, but I thought to myself that I don't know when I will die anyway, and marrying a daughter-in-law is also a scourge, so I didn't save any money...... Now that I think about it, I didn't leave anything for my wife, these three taels of silver are a little less, but it's a thought. ”
He looked at Wang Qinian, thought for a while, and said, "If you are free, Lao Wang, you can go to my house to sit more...... My mother has been a matchmaker, and it's all done. ”
Wang Qinian couldn't help it, but tears still flowed. The heart said that he was really a wreck, he had seen so many things about life and death over the years, why was he still so unproductive, he was still crying at such an old age!
Just as he was about to say something to comfort the young man, suddenly the door outside was slammed open, and a man in Tang Army clothes stumbled in, because he was in a hurry, his face was white and frightening.
"Brother Wu is not here!"
The man Wu Bushan recognized was a person under Wan Yulou, and he had been with Wan Yulou a few times.
After the man entered the door, he gasped for breath and said, "Our stall head rushed to the West Inner Garden with my brothers, and the stall head asked me to tell you and prepare to answer." We didn't find a chance at the head of the stall, so we asked a few brothers to run to the side of the West Inner Garden pretending to be fugitives, and he led people to chase after him, which would be just about to arrive! ”
"Wan Yulou, fuck-you-mom, isn't this a death in such a hurry!"
Wu Bushan scolded, but he also knew that it was because of this gloomy sky that Wan Yulou had to take risks.
"Send a signal to the brethren to pick up that bastard!"
Wang Qinian rushed out of the kitchen and said as he ran: "I'll go too!" ”
"What can you do!"
Wu Bushan said angrily.
"I always thought that fat man was more afraid of death than I ......"
Wang Qinian smiled, threw his apron aside, raised his chin and said proudly: "If Lao Tzu dies behind him, he won't be ridiculed by him if he goes down to see him?" I can't afford to lose this man, give me a knife! ”
He straightened his back, and he looked tall in the eyes of everyone.
……
……
Although Wan Yulou was able to get out of the Taiji Palace, after entering the Yamen of the Military Garrison Mansion, he thought that he could take advantage of the opportunity, but since yesterday, it has been difficult to move freely. The elite men and horses mobilized from the south and east of the city entered the military garrison mansion, and Zhang Gongjin ordered everyone not to enter and leave at will since yesterday night, even Wan Yulou could not pull out all his secret spies.
The weather gradually turned cloudy this morning, and Wan Yulou's mood was more cloudy than the weather. He paced back and forth in the room anxiously, and there was really no way to grit his teeth and find a few henchmen. After making some arrangements, he went to Zhang Gongjin and said that his subordinates had captured a few of Yan Yunjun's secret spies, and they must take those people to arrest other accomplices as soon as possible. Zhang Gongjin didn't suspect him anything, but only went to see the few people who were beaten and their noses were blue and swollen, and then asked him to go back quickly.
Out of the gate of the Military Garrison Mansion, Wan Yulou said in an apologetic tone as he walked: "Brothers, don't blame your brother for being ruthless, how can you win the trust of Zhang Gongjin if you don't beat you up?" That guy is too cautious, and it is incompetent to let a few of you suffer before he dies, and after rushing to the West Inner Garden for a while, you hide behind your brother, and I am a big ...... I can get a few arrows for you! ”
"Ugly in death and good-looking in death are both death."
The cronies who were beaten said with a smile: "I don't dare to stand behind you, in case you fall down and sit on me, my death will not be even more ugly......"
Hundreds of secret spies who infiltrated the Xuanwu Guard went out and circled around the city a few times, and then went straight to the West Inner Garden. More than a dozen spies with gunpowder bags on their backs each wore two layers of leather armor and were protected by everyone in the middle, these dozen or so people were the most important people today, and anyone could fall before rushing to the gate of the West Inner Garden, but they couldn't fall.
Because of the official and military uniforms on their bodies, they were not stopped along the way, and when they arrived not far from the city gate of Xinneyuan, they were intercepted by the patrolling city defense army, Wan Yulou explained that he was ordered by the emperor to inspect and violate, but the captain on duty just refused to let him get close to the city gate, if he wanted to go over, he himself went to General Liu Hongji to make it clear, and the general let him go before letting him go.
Wan Yulou was furious and said that I have the emperor's order.
The lieutenant said loudly: "In extraordinary times, unless you come up with a holy decree, no one can disobey the general's military order. ”
Wan Yulou drew his knife and slashed the captain, turned around and shouted: "Arrest the prisoner!" ”
His powerful spies swarmed up, and in a short time, more than 20 Tang soldiers were cut to the ground. Everyone sped up and rushed to the gate of the West Inner Garden, and not long after they ran out, the horn on the city wall sounded.
"Born together!"
Wan Yulou shouted, and rushed to the front with a little under his feet.
"Death with death!"
His secret spies shouted loudly, tightly protecting the dozen or so spies carrying gunpowder bags and followed closely behind Wan Yulou. Someone shouted on the city wall, but no one cared about what was shouted. Because they were still wearing the uniform of the forbidden army, the defenders on the city wall did not react for a while. In just a few moments, Wan Yulou had already rushed forward dozens of steps.
"The general has an order, one step closer to kill no mercy!"
The general guarding the gate shouted loudly, and then ordered the archers to draw their hard bows. When there were still seventy or eighty paces left, the don't bite your teeth and pressed down violently. The feather arrow shot out suddenly, and it came in an instant. Wan Yulou swung his knife and cut down a few feather arrows, shouting loudly as he ran: "Use a repeater!" ”
The secret spy who followed him was shot over by more than 20 people, and the one behind him quickly made up for it, and after approaching fifty steps, the repeater in the hand of the secret spy began to exert its might, and the Tang army blocked in front of the city gate was shot by the repeater and immediately fell down one floor. The Tang army on the city wall also began to fire arrows, feathered arrows became more and more dense, and the ranks of several hundred people rushed down the street towards the city gate, completely exposed to the sight of the archers of the defenders.
One by one, the spies were shot to death, but none of them flinched. Since the establishment of Yanyunzhai, the selection of secret spies has been extremely strict, they are not only the most elite soldiers, but also the most loyal subordinates, when they need to be sent to death, they choose to perform their duties without exception.
In particular, Wan Yulou, the stall head, has always been at the forefront.
After losing at least more than 100 secret spies, Wan Yulou finally rushed to the gate of the city, a large number of Tang soldiers swarmed in, Wan Yulou at this time like a god descended to earth, the horizontal knife in his hand splashed out a piece of blood, further killing one person, when the secret spies behind caught up, the Tang soldiers who died in the hands of Wan Yulou were no less than ten people.
"Stop them!"
Liu Hongji, who was alarmed, stood on the city wall, leaned down and looked down, and shouted a few words, and many Tang soldiers rushed down the horse road to try to stop the secret spies.
From the very beginning, the fighting was particularly fierce.
Wan Yulou slashed half of the skulls of the Tang Army soldiers in front of him with a knife, turned around and shouted: "Those with gunpowder packs rush in, Lao Tzu takes care of your back!" ”
……
……
The two regiments of secret spies, nearly 600 people, had already lost nearly half of them after rushing to the city gate. The people behind escorted the spies with gunpowder bags to the city gate, Wan Yulou immediately turned around, and formed a human wall with the spies to block the Tang army.
The knife is bloody, and the fist is solid.
Human heads rolled under their feet, and stumps and severed arms flew in the air.
More than a dozen spies with gunpowder packs rushed to the city gate, and then quickly took out the fire fold and lit the fuse on the powder bag. More than a dozen gunpowder bags were piled up under the city gate, and after they were ignited, some of them immediately shouted towards Wanyulou: "Stall! Hurry up! ”
"Let's go?!"
Wan Yulou glanced at the Tang Army soldiers who rushed over densely, spat a mouthful of bloody spit, turned around and shouted: "Lie down against the corner, if you don't die, Lao Tzu will worship you as brothers!" ”
More than a dozen spies lay down along the wall inside the doorway, and the fuse that had just been poured into the powder bag burned to the end.
There was a loud bang, and a large ball of fireball poured out frantically along the doorway. The secret spies guarding the door were like wheat blown down by a hurricane, and they were blown forward by the huge impact. After a loud bang, the remaining gunpowder packets exploded, and the flames shone through the doorway.
Even if the gunpowder of the second configuration was not powerful enough to collapse the city wall, the successive explosions still blasted a huge hole in the city gate. There was a terrible groan from the gate, and then it slowly fell.
More than a dozen spies who lay down in the doorway were all killed.
At this moment, a loud horn sounded outside the city.
Yan Yunjun, the siege of the city.
