Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It was getting dark.
On a cloudy day, the sea outside the window was gloomy, and there seemed to be only one person's distance between the sky and the sea.
Zhai Zhe stood beside the bed, waiting for the island in his vision to become blurry and invisible, and then closed the window.
"Your Excellency, it's time for dinner!"
Fang Jin entered the door and whispered for instructions, for fear of disturbing Zhai Zhe's thoughts. As Zhai Zhe's personal soldier, he not only bears the responsibility of protecting adults, but also is familiar with every living habit of Zhai Zhe.
"Hmm!" Zhai Zhe agreed, "Prepare a pot of wine for me." ”
"Yes!"
Fang Jin's steps as he left were like a light fox.
There are no guests today, Zhai Zhe has always eaten alone these days, but he never drinks when he is alone.
Fang Jin turned into the storage room and took out a blue and white porcelain wine bottle from the wine cabinet, and a faint aroma of wine overflowed from it, this is the bamboo leaf green that adults love to drink, and the adults have been drinking this since leaving Xuanda.
At the door of the restaurant stood two guards, not squinting.
Zhai Zhe sat there, eating very slowly, chewing slowly with every bite. Zhu Yeqing flowed down his throat and approached his chest, and a warm current spread from the middle of his body to his fingertips. This wine is very mellow and does not stimulate the body's feelings, so it is easy for people who are not strong in control to get drunk.
It wasn't until the time of the lamp that Zhai Zhe didn't eat this meal, and he returned to the study and opened the map that he had read thousands of times.
This is the first time he has not been able to go to the battlefield in person, and Feng Qin, Zuo Ruo and Li Zhi'an will not do worse than when he was there.
But tonight he was destined to have no sleep.
Summers in Jiangnan are hot, but they don't include the seaside of Ningbo.
In the east wing, which is three courtyards away from Zhai Zhe's study, Chen Zilong is also tossing and turning on the bamboo mat. It's much cooler here than Suzhou, and Songjiang is hotter than here, but he didn't come to Ningbo to escape the heat. Zhai Zhe has something to hide from him, but fortunately, King Lu will arrive tomorrow, and it will be revealed at that time.
Chen Zilong is not a nerd who reads dead books, nor is he a son-in-law who only knows poetry and Qin Huai.
Although he risked his life to find Zhai Zhe, judging from the situation in Jiangnan, it is difficult to reverse it and ascend to the sky. He did it not because he could see the hope of success, but because it was something he had to do. He never thought of taking refuge in the Manchus. To do it is to die, and not to do it is to die! Why not make your death even more spectacular.
In a daze of thoughts, he fell asleep at some point.
There was a sudden knock on the wooden door.
Very light.
But Chen Zilong woke up immediately, and his sleepiness disappeared. On the way to escape, he slept in the wilderness, and the slightest movement would make him jump like a frightened rabbit.
"Brother Wozi, are you asleep?"
"Hikonao, well, no!" Chen Zilong groped his way out of bed, lit the flint and lighted the lamp, grabbed the robe and draped it over his body. Opening the door, Zhai Zhe stood outside the door with a lantern with a smile, and the faint light of the lantern swayed in the night wind.
"It's so late, I'm really sorry to bother Brother Wozi, I can't sleep tonight, I heard that Brother Wozi's chess skills are famous in the Restoration Society, so I asked Brother Wozi for a game, and chatted with me by the way."
Chen Zilong was stunned, he looked up at the sky, it was estimated that it was already midnight, Zhai Zhe came to him at this time, it was by no means as simple as just playing chess.
"Wait a minute."
Chen Zilong closed the door and returned to the house, put on shoes and socks, tidied up his clothes, tied his belt, and straightened himself from head to toe before turning around and going out. As a Confucian, etiquette should not be disordered.
Zhai Zhe walked forward with a lantern, Chen Zilong took a step behind, until he reached Zhai Zhe's study, and Fang Jin stood at the door.
Zhai Zhe handed the lantern to Fang Jin and entered the door with Chen Zilong. Four or five oil lamps were lit in the house, and the whole room was filled with a warm glow.
Fang Jin closed the door, and there were only two people left in the room.
The chessboard is placed in the middle, and the chess pieces are black and white.
Zhai Zhe waved his hand and motioned for Chen Zilong to sit opposite him.
"Brother Wozi, don't keep your hands even if you do it." Zhai Zhe laughed. Chen Zilong's chess skills are superb, and he is famous in the Fushe, and he knows that he is not an opponent.
"Of course not!" Chen Zilong brushed his sleeves and sat down, waiting to see what medicine was sold in Zhai Zhe's gourd.
The black and white pieces are placed on the chessboard crisp and sound, Zhai Zhe changed the steady chess style of the past, starting from the layout, the offensive is fierce, although the fight does not lose everyone's bearing, after more than a dozen chess pieces, Chen Zilong showed a surprised look, scattered the heart of slackness, and faced the battle with his heart.
Zhai Zhe leaned over to focus, and the black and white seemed to be transformed into a battlefield in the Qiantang River under Fuyang City in his eyes.
The chessboard is like a battlefield, and the battlefield is like a chessboard.
Under the city of Hangzhou, the Qiantang River is churning.
More than a hundred warships sailed from the wide sea into the narrow river under the cover of night. There was a faint light shining at the head of the city in the distance, and that was the target.
The warship and the river were in the same darkness, and the sailors carefully controlled the boat, and the warship stopped in the river channel away from the Hangzhou Water Gate.
"Chen Huwei, it's up to you!" Zuo Ruo stood on the bow of the boat, his face tense.
"Please wait, my lord, the last general will return to Ning Shao, and he has not made an inch, and he has always left a pimple in his heart." Chen Huwei grinned, took out a three-inch-long sharp knife and bit it into his mouth, the night covering his black teeth.
The heavy axe was thrown from the warship and smashed into the rickety boat. Chen Huwei turned over and jumped down with a harrier, and more than a dozen small boats left the fleet and headed for the direction of the water gate.
There are almost all pirates under Chen Huwei's command, and the people who are good at the water are selected for the sneak attack on the water gate.
"If you can go along with it, it's best if you don't need to attack." Zuo Ruo watched the boat leave.
Twelve small boats, each with thirty people.
Chen Huwei climbed on the bow of the ship, and the walls of Hangzhou grew taller and taller in front of him, until finally all view was blocked.
"Team A and B, follow me!"
Two small boats rush towards the water gate in the darkness like tuna in the sea.
The river was lapping against the reef, and the green bricks on both sides of the water gate were covered with moss, Chen Huwei leaped into the water, and a fierce man plunged into it, showing his head thirty-four steps away, and reached out to touch the iron bar of the gate. In recent years, Zhejiang Sea has been stable, and the defense of Hangzhou Watergate has been much lax.
He groped around him, and the water flow was gentle at the water gate, and the gate fell overhead, entering the water about two feet deep. For those of them who have swung through the waves of the sea, it is not difficult to swim through the underwater door.
But after passing the water gate, there is still a water net blocking the road, and there are alarm bells on both sides, once touched, it will inevitably wake up the defense soldiers, and the shape of shì at that time is just like catching turtles in an urn.
Cutting down the door and splitting the net is the worst outcome.
Chen Huwei made a gesture backwards, slammed down again, went deep into the water, and emerged from the sluice after a while.
A moment later, thirty or forty heads popped up around him, and another boatload of people remained outside the door.
The light of the torches overhead left a shadow in the river, and several people were chatting and complaining about the heat.
"Cut the net!" Chen Huwei muttered under the water with a sharp knife in his mouth, and it was estimated that no one could hear it except himself.
The retinue untied the tightly bound iron scissors from the back, drilled into the water, and inserted the tips of the scissors into the mesh as if touching the tender skin of a baby.
"Quack!" A sound fell on the ears like fairy music.
Although several people are veterans in the water, they are also extremely consuming like this.
After about a quarter of an hour, the light flickered in the distance, and the sound of footsteps came from far and near.
"Get into the water!" More than thirty people disappeared from the water, and only a few small hollow reeds were exposed on the murky water.
The footsteps of the patrolling soldiers gradually faded away, and several people continued to cut. About two quarters of an hour later, after two groups of patrolling soldiers, a slit was cut in the middle of the barbed wire.
As soon as he was happy, Chen Hu turned around and gestured to the people around him, ordering: "Signal!" "It's time for the fleet to keep up.
After waiting for a group of patrol soldiers to go away, it was estimated that the time was almost up, Chen Huwei reached out and picked up the crack in the net, and got into it like a fish, and the water ghost followed him behind him.
"Hurry up in the back and notify the people outside the iron gate to follow."
A quarter of an hour before the next wave of patrolling soldiers arrived, the companions who had received them in the city had not yet been seen. Now they need to storm the city, raise the locks, and the fleet will arrive.
Chen Huwei lay on the shore, wheezing and recovering his body in the water. He was nervous and excited in his head, he had been a pirate for many days, and he had never dared to attack the idea of a big city like Hangzhou.
"It's coming, it's coming." The light approaches from afar, illuminating the water little by little. Dozens of people clinged to the shore, hiding under the water to inhale.
It was too close, and the reed mouth couldn't escape the eyes of the patrolmen, Chen Huwei's heart thumped, and his body in the cold water became hot.
"Do it!"
More than 30 people under the water touched each other to pass messages.
Dry pirates are indispensable for a single spirit, which Chen Huwei is the most lacking, and his companions outside the sluice gate are swimming over to support, what is he waiting for?
The light on the water turned yellow in my eyes.
"Kill!" Chen Huwei jumped out of the water like a flying fish, landed lightly on the shore with his bare feet, and rolled and killed the patrol soldier as if he had seen a water monster.
Thirty-five pirates slaughtered twenty patrolmen, all of whom had short knives.
The spear pierced in the face, Chen Huwei dodged and approached, ignoring the Pu knife from the flank, the short knife in his hand pierced the throat of the pikeman, while the person on the opposite side screamed, his smooth back shrank inward, although he avoided the straight cut, but was cut by the tip of the knife A three-inch long wound, after a while, the back seemed to be poured with a plate of red paint.
I haven't been in battle in person for many years, but this way of fighting goes deep into the bone marrow, because the position of the pirate leader is cut in this way.
He was the same with his family. Almost instantly, more than twenty patrolmen fell, and the remaining eight turned around and fled. There was a head popping out of the river, and there was a sword, and there was a Qi knife, which surrounded Chen Huwei in it.
"Enemy attack! There are pirates! "The alarm bell sounds.
The water ghost who fell at the end struggled to split the iron net, and there was no need to hide it at this time.
The iron gate outside the water gate "clang, clang, clang!" "Loud sound, the giant axe slashed on the iron bar, and the iron gate hit the blue brick city wall, which was unprepared.
Chen Huwei took the long knife from his hand, pointed the tip of the knife straight ahead and roared: "Kill the city wall." ”
Almost at the same time, five or six hundred paces away, the doors of several houses at the left corner of the street opened, and three or four hundred men came over with crossbows and long guns, and the last one was only armed.
More than a dozen flames in the city of Hangzhou soared into the sky, and there were fires near the four gates, and the shouts in the city shook the sky: "The army of the Ming Dynasty has entered the city!" ”
