"You Gongzi, I'm sorry. Check it out routinely. The order of the prefect, no one dares to slack off, offend! The guards at the south gate said with a smile on his fists. In the past, the petty officials at the city gate were only with five or six small soldiers who were bored checking the people coming in and out, but recently the situation has changed, and the number of people at the city gate has increased to twenty, and their attitude is much more serious than before.

"Understand, it's an extraordinary time, check it! Lift the rain cloth! You Shiming instructed the guys behind him.

Sixty successive carts at the city gate lifted the rain cloth on it in turn, revealing bags of grain. "It's all grain from Dexing, and storing more grain at this time is a top priority. I'm going to build yì brother, you should also prepare more food when you go back, or it won't be long before the price rises! You Shiming chuckled and said to the officials in front of him.

In fact, the price of food in the city has been slowly rising in the last two months, but it is not obvious, after all, this side has not been affected by the war. This You family is a big grain seller in the city, and now the price of grain for the eldest son of the You family will rise sharply, so can there be a fake? "Thank you for the advice, I will definitely go to buy a batch of grain in the evening." Although petty officials like them have a good income, the price of grain still has a great impact on them.

Behind them were sixty-two carts, each of which was loaded with ten sacks, and one sack weighed one stone, and this batch of grain was enough for six hundred stones. This number is not small, according to the current price of this rice. But more than a thousand taels of silver, nearly two thousand taels. Next to each cart, in addition to the driver driver, there is also a guy in charge of escorting. Sixty carts have sixty men. It's just that this little official guarding the city didn't know that You Shiming only brought sixty people with him when he left the city yesterday evening. Now there are sixty more. However, the situation in front of me is also very common, a carriage with two guys, normal can no longer be normal!

After a brief inspection, the soldiers defending the city began to let the You family enter the city with sixty carts. In fact, there is nothing to check, the cart loaded with grain is like that, these soldiers have seen it countless times, and the You family's convoy is the most familiar. Just looked up and down and it was done. The important thing is that the cart is not piled up highly, and there is no way to hide anything from sack after sack. In this way, You Shiming entered the city smoothly with sixty carts. It's just that what the soldiers defending the city didn't expect was that in the sacks at the bottom of each cart, there were sixty waist knives along with the rice, and if they didn't remove all the sacks on the cart and check them one by one, they wouldn't be able to find anything abnormal.

All the carts finally stopped in the You family's warehouse, and as soon as they stopped, the guys next to the carts immediately moved. Unload the grain, then take out the waist knife and scatter it. Guard the perimeter of the warehouse.

"Captain He, don't worry, this warehouse is unique to my You family, and it is relatively private here, and ordinary people will not come here at all. My father has already transferred the nursing home at home, all of whom have been with my family for more than ten years, and they are very reliable, a total of twenty-two people, and now they are all at your disposal! "When all the carts enter the You family's warehouse, You Shiming will no longer maintain the shelf of the You family's eldest young master, and face the captain of the first sharp knife squad of the eighth battalion of the Mawei Army Artillery Division dressed as an ordinary man. In the past, their mission was to spy on the enemy, which was equivalent to the reconnaissance company of later generations, and their skills were better than that of ordinary artillery division soldiers and gunners.

"It's very good here, and it's not too far from the city gate, and I also trouble the eldest prince to prepare some meals, so that all the brothers can have a full meal, and it is better to act in unison at night." Captain He was not polite to You Shiming, and ordered directly.

You Shiming and Captain He have been in contact for two days, knowing that Captain He's temper is like this, he didn't feel insulted at all, and still smiled and said: "Of course, these little things don't need your orders, my father and I arranged them a few days ago." In order not to let anyone notice, when I left the city three days ago, I asked the house to make sauce meat and steamed buns, and the people in the house only knew that it was for the guys. It's just that this thing tastes a little dry, so I wronged the brothers! ”

"You have a heart, as long as you can fill your stomach, it doesn't matter what you eat, and when you finish the task, are you still missing big fish and meat? It's just that the eldest prince is about to develop, in fact, with the strength of my horsetail legion, it only takes an hour at most to launch a strong attack to take the city. It's just that the division commander said that if you go to the army to fight, you won't kill if you can't start killing. Otherwise, our hundreds of cannons will be laid out in a row, and it will not take an hour for even the city walls to collapse and fall. However, that will not only kill and injure a lot of defenders, but also the people in the city! Captain He said with a hint of a smile.

When You Shiming mentioned this to Captain He, he immediately thought of the rows of black holes on the Mawei Navy battleship, and suddenly hit a spirit. Although he has not seen the power of cannons, but he has never eaten pork and seen pigs run, but many people in the port have seen the Mawei army fighting the Japanese at the mouth of the Minjiang River, and the scene of artillery bombardment is quite shocking. "That's that, Yang, Master Yang's house is kind-hearted, and it is also a blessing for the people of our upper city."

"Don't talk about this, there is a person sent by the eldest prince of Lao to take me out and take a closer look at the terrain, so that it is convenient to move at night!" Captain He didn't want to talk about this topic for a long time, so he asked.

You Dagongzi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. "Then I'll take you there, and I will also wronged Captain He to act as my bodyguard, so that no one will suspect you!"

"This is nothing, our Mawei brothers have even been savages, not to mention the little house!"

The night is slowly falling, and even God is helping tonight, the sky is covered by dark clouds, and there is not a trace of starlight, although it has not yet reached the point of reaching out and not seeing ten fingers, it is not much different.

The vanguard team, together with the eighty-eight people of the You family's cronies and nurses, arrived at the entrance of Nanchengmen Street silently, and when they arrived here, the big guy stopped and did not immediately launch a surprise attack.

The agreed time of the army is the third watch at night, and as soon as the time of the third watch arrives, they will launch a surprise attack. There were only thirty guards in the gate cave at this gate, but there were hundreds of people on top of the tower. There is also a station of the Ministry of Intelligence in the upper ring city, but it is only a very small one, and it is impossible to find out the movement of the government, and this information is still provided by the You family.

"According to the original plan, first wipe a few checkpoints for me, get rid of the thirty people in the city gate cave as quickly as possible, and then the first and second teams go up to the city tower to the left, and the rest follow me to the right, and be sure to settle the battle within a stick of incense. Who else is not clear? Captain He asked in a low voice.

No one squeaked, so Captain He made a forward gesture: "Let's act!" ”

No one said anything more, and dozens of people approached the city gate lightly. The dark night is their best cover, and in this era, there are no high-power searchlights or anything, just oil lamps, and the faint light cannot illuminate a place five meters away.

Captain Ho took the lead and approached the city gate first. There were still people standing guard on the left and right sides of the doorway, but one was yawning and the other was already squinting against the wall.

"Hmm, poof!" A slight voice sounded, and the yawning soldier had gone limp, and Captain He's short knife was pulling out of his neck. The situation is the same on the other side, where the two checkpoints are lightly resolved. At this time, nearly thirty people in the city gate cave were still asleep, and they did not notice it at all.

As soon as the two checkpoints were resolved, the team behind immediately followed, rushed into the city gate at great speed, raised their swords and fell, and the defenders closest to the front went to meet the king of Hades. By this time, the defenders had also been awakened, and if they didn't wake up like this, they would really be dead pigs. But it was too late to wake up, and they had nothing in their hands, and by the time they picked up the spear and waist knife beside them, the horsetail warrior's knife was already in front of them.

Ding Ding dangdang was in a chaotic noise, although the remaining defenders of the city were in the back of the front, but they still couldn't stand the blade of the horsetail warrior, only ten kung fu that couldn't breathe, and none of the thirty people missed the net, and all of them were sent to see the king of Hades. If this is a frontal hand-to-hand street fight during the day, even if the Mawei army is much more brave than these defenders, it will still add a lot of casualties. Thirty against thirty had to spare the lives of seven or eight warriors in order to completely annihilate the enemy.

"Open the door! Fast! The army is not a few miles outside the city, and it will be there in a blink of an eye! The others went upstairs with me to kill the enemy and set fire! The knife in Captain He and the others was still dripping blood, so he hung the knife on his waist and quickly opened the city gate. There was a creaking sound, and the door was opened, which was made of heavy solid wood and covered with a thick layer of iron.

At the same time, the soldiers who had already reached the castle tower also quickly pounced on the defenders patrolling the castle tower. The patrol team was walking east from the main building, and the two were only thirty paces apart, and the soldiers were trying to kill them from behind, and they were caught off guard.

"Enemy attack, there is a rebel sneak attack!" The horse-tailed warriors originally wanted to sneak up on them from behind, so that not only would they be able to resolve the battle quickly, but they might not even make a loud noise, but one of the defenders in front suddenly turned around and saw them at once. Although the light at this tower is very dim, the outline can still be seen. The defender was surprised at first when he saw the horsetail warrior dressed in black and pounce on them with a waist knife in his hand, but then reacted.

Without a word, at this time, the soldiers could only fly and pounce on the defenders, and immediately fought with these defenders who had not slept and were on patrol at night. There were hundreds of defenders on the city tower, but the squad responsible for the night patrol was only ten people, how could such a small number of people be the opponent of more than sixty horsetail warriors, and they were beheaded one by one with a few screams.
