358 The inside should be combined with the outside
Late at night, although Baodezhou City can be regarded as a big city, except for a few places where there are lights, the rest of the place is already in darkness.
The moonlight is okay, but even if it is bright, it can only be seen a few feet away.
A string of lanterns hangs under the eaves of a roof on the side of East Street, with the words "Yuelai Inn" written on them. As the night breeze blows, it floats from time to time, showing a sense of presence.
There were basically no people on the streets, and if it weren't for the thieves on the other side of the Yellow River, even if it was a curfew, it would be just for show. Now he is still serious, and after a while, he can see the night patrol soldier holding a lantern walking by.
The inn is on the second floor near the street side, with at least three windows open. In one of the rooms with the windows open, three men were not sleeping in their beds, but sitting under the windows in the moonlight, with knives by their side and a white towel tied to their arms.
One of them was anxious, opened his eyes and looked at the incense burning on the side, and then whispered to the young man in front of him: "Company commander, the appointed time is almost up, and there is no movement yet!" ”
The person who was called the company commander was Sun Yunxuan, the commander of the artillery company called the Heavenly Army, he also opened his eyes when he heard the voice, looked at the pillar of incense and said in a low voice: "It's better if there is no movement!" ”
According to the agreement, if the comrades lurking in the city to seize the city gate alarmed the Ming army defending the city, they would blow up the Ming army with explosives bags, which was also a signal to be transmitted to the comrades everywhere.
If there is no sound, then everything is fine, which is of course the best.
After listening to Sun Yunxuan's answer, the man nodded and was silent for a while, and couldn't help but whisper again: "I'm older than you company commander, but my heart is always beating and I can't hold my breath." ”
With the help of moonshine. When he saw Sun Yunxuan laughing, he couldn't help but come back to his senses, showed a hint of a smile, and said in a low voice: "Company commander, shouldn't you be reminiscing about last night?" ”
The other person had not spoken, but at this time he heard it. couldn't help but get involved and said: "It's good that the company commander is handsome, that girl only charged half the price of the company commander!" ”
When Sun Yunxuan heard this, he was very proud in his heart, who made me handsome! However, he immediately warned in a low voice: "The matter of our going to Lichun Courtyard, although we did not violate military rules, we also used money, and you and I are willing to do it, but after all, it is not good, and no one will mention it in the future." Got it? ”
"Understood, understood!" Both of them smiled heartily and whispered yes.
It's the first time for everyone to come to the state city, and in the past, a place like Lichunyuan could only stand outside the door and see, even if it was handsome, it couldn't enter the door. But this time I came in, and I had some money on hand. I couldn't help but go for the time.
If you really want to talk about it, the company commander is handsome. I learn knowledge and learn quickly, and I became a company commander at a young age, and everything is good, but it's a little bit of that. But everyone is young and can understand it.
The two men thought so in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it.
At this time, Sun Yunxuan was indeed as they expected. Waiting boringly, but reminiscing about last night's events in my head.
People are not romantic teenagers, and after entering Lichun Courtyard, I realized that those I had seen before were scum.
Sun Yunxuan thought about it, and suddenly felt a trace of remorse in his heart, and he went to talk about what kind of love with Zhang Zhaodi. Thankfully, nothing happened. Speaking of which, it is recognized that he now has an identity and is handsome. If you marry Brother Zhang Zhaodi, I am afraid that you will not be able to enjoy the blessings in the future.
My future wife, no, is a wife, she should be a beautiful woman who can be worthy of her identity, and she can be reasonable and listen to herself.
He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a loud "boom" on the ground. The three people sitting reflexively excited, looked at each other, and understood one thing, after all, they couldn't quietly take the city gate.
The three of them all stood up immediately, Sun Yunxuan and one of them stared at the street outside, and the rest of the person picked up a knife on the ground, turned around and walked out of the door.
After a while, the man who walked out turned back and whispered to Sun Yunxuan: "Company commander, you are all ready!" ”
Sun Yunxuan nodded and did not speak.
The originally silent city of Baodezhou began to make noise with that loud noise. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint shouting of killing from the west.
Suddenly, another "boom" sound sounded continuously. Only this time it's not on the west side, but on the north side. After a while, the shouting and killing on the north side became louder.
Sun Yunxuan understood that this was the feint troops on the north gate who began to create momentum and attract attention.
It wasn't long before a few horsemen rode quickly through the street outside the inn under the darkness of the night and entered the garrison camp not far away.
Originally, the movement had already woken up the sergeants on night duty in the barracks, and the entire barracks had already been alarmed. As soon as I rode in, it became even more noisy.
However, Sun Yunxuan waited for a long time before he saw the garrison coming out of the camp, and some generals hurried to the north and west gates.
The reaction was so slow, and many soldiers were still disheveled, which made Sun Yunxuan scoff.
A group of soldiers passed under the inn, and when it was the turn of the leading general and his family to pass by, Sun Yunxuan and the man opposite him immediately lifted the disc, that is, the explosive bag that had been prepared long ago, and the other person immediately picked up the pillar of incense and lit the fuse.
"One, two, three!" Sun Yunxuan counted in a low voice, and when he heard the third sound, he became very loud, and then together with his companions, he threw the explosive bag down.
After a while, two large bumps were thrown out of the two open windows on the side. Fell down the street together.
Sun Yunxuan and the others didn't stick out their heads to look, but after throwing them out, they ran out of the door with a knife as soon as possible, and disappeared into the inn together with several companions who came out of the other doors.
The Ming army on the street didn't react to what was going on at all, and they heard a loud "boom, boom", and suddenly, this section of the inn became bloody and blurred, and the entire army was blown up.
Outside the west gate of Baode Prefecture, the city gate had been opened by the soldiers of the Heavenly Army who had lurked in, and two battalions of cavalry, under the leadership of Hu Hansan, rushed in first. Led by the lurking soldiers, they rushed along the main streets to the main places in the city.
Most of the follow-up soldiers were called the Celestial Army, and they advanced along both sides of the city wall, and controlling the city gate was the first priority.
"Let the heavenly army attack the city, and those who descend will not be killed!"
"Let the heavenly army give preferential treatment to the prisoners, and those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!"
“……”
With louder and louder sounds, the state of Paddy under the darkness of the night fell into turmoil.
Hu Guang, who was outside the city, saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he began to enter the city with a reconnaissance company and guards, and went to the arrow tower of the west gate to command the next battle. (To be continued......)
