A small, ordinary red lantern appeared in the night sky, like a ghost in the darkness, gathering its people and slowly flying into the sky. At the same time, on the walls near the eastern, western, and northern gates of the Suwang Mansion, black shadows flickered, crossed the walls, slid down the ropes, and quietly sneaked into the palace without anyone noticing.

On the inside of the wall near the east gate of Suwangfu, Li Guogang and his people climbed over the two-meter-high wall, slid down the rope, and pulled out a three-edged military thorn from his waist, with a miniature bow and crossbow tied to his left arm.

"Do what you planned, fight as silently as possible, and don't reveal your whereabouts until you have to."

Li Guo's voice sounded in the darkness, and disappeared in the darkness, no one responded to his words, only a slight rustling sound vibrating, it was the sound of tiptoeing footsteps, mixed with the squeaking of insects, everything was so normal and natural.

Under the cover of night, a group of soldiers from the Suwang Mansion were patrolling, with swords hanging from their waists and carrying lanterns, like guiding lights in the sea, highlighting their existence, and at the same time attracting the watchful eyes of Li Guo and others.

At this moment, suddenly, a team of government soldiers had just come to the side of a rockery, and before they could react, ten black shadows suddenly burst out, instantly covering their big mouths, and at the same time, the triangular army stabbed into their hearts, and the ten-person government soldier team lost their lives, motionless, and fell on the body of the black shadow.

"Quick, drag the corpses behind the rockery, hurry up and change into their clothes, and go to the Cunxin Palace."

Li Guo had an idea, thought of a way, and immediately ordered the ten people who made the move, and then whispered to the remaining ten people: "You lurk and follow us to respond." ”

"Yes, Captain."

Whether it was the twenty people who went to the governor's yamen or the eighty people who sneaked into the Su Wangfu, they were all elites selected by Li Zicheng from more than 2,000 people, not only with great skills, but also with extraordinary IQ.

Therefore, when Li Guo said those words, the twenty people understood his intentions, the captain wanted to sneak to the south of King Su's mansion, so as to block Zhu Zhihong's way to escape south, and catch King Su Zhu Zhihong in one fell swoop.

Because, behind the heart hall is the palace of Sufu, that is, the bedroom of King Su, where he sleeps with the princess and concubine.

Those who can participate in tonight's operation, of course, also know the overall battle plan, and when everyone came to the rockery and was changing clothes, a calm and whispered reminded: "Captain, isn't this too risky?" If the operation fails, our traces are exposed a little, or if a large-scale conflict breaks out on Captain Tian's side in advance, King Su will become a frightened bird, and once he escapes from the other city gates, the boss's plan will be over, and the follow-up action on the boss's side will not be able to be launched. ”

In an instant, although they couldn't see the change in Li Guo's expression, and they didn't know the surprise between each other, the twenty people knew that the captain's face was not very good.

However, the person who spoke the reminder did not regret it, because this matter is too important, the stakes are very large, and the overall situation is involved, and the captain's method implies too much luck element, and once there is a little bit of difference in the process of action, it will cause irreparability.

The original plan was different, there was a lot of room for flexibility, as long as there was a big movement in the east, north, and west directions of King Su's Mansion, and with the actions of Tian Jianxiu and others, Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, was forced out of the south gate, and the goal was achieved.

For a while, the back of the rockery became extremely quiet, and the silence was a little suffocating, and soon after, Li Guo's voice came again, but it was less excited, and a little more calm and persistent.

In this way, the movement changed slightly, and the detour from the place of the prince went around to the palace. Even if our deeds are revealed and discovered, we are still on the east side of King Su's Mansion, and we can still have the desired effect. ”

"Yes, Captain."

No one objected to the answer. In this way, the action will be more perfect. Even if he couldn't catch Zhu Zhihong, the king of Su, he could force him away from the south gate, so that he could escape from the south gate of Lanzhou City, and ask the governor Liu Guangsheng for help.

Soon, after a burst of rustling footsteps, immediately after, several lanterns suddenly lit up, and a team of ten people appeared, and the person in front of the head was Li Guo, and the group was dressed in the uniforms of the soldiers of the Suwang Mansion, and returned along the original road of the team of soldiers just now.

Boom boom...

Bang bang bang ...

Li Guo and the others hadn't gone far before the sound of gunfire came from the west gate and the north gate of Lanzhou City, like a wild beast roaring in the dark, tearing apart the silence of the night, and a little light appeared in two directions, it was the spark of the bullet cutting through the air, and the flames caused by the cannonball falling on the building.

As soon as the figures of the twenty people paused slightly, Li Guo's burst of shouts came: "The plan just now is canceled, proceed according to the original plan, no need to disguise it anymore, launch an attack immediately, as long as you see the people of the palace, kill it directly!" ”

Immediately, Li Guo threw off the lantern in his hand, and it was still on the window of a house, and the gauze paper was instantly ignited, and the fire became bigger and bigger.

Seeing this, the others reacted and threw their lanterns to other places, setting fire to one house after another. Suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, like daylight, and everyone pulled out the big blade on their waists, inserted back into the three-edged military thorn, and went straight to the palace from east to west.

The sound of guns and cannons is the letter, and the fire is the signal, echoing each other and cooperating with each other, so as to achieve the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger!

This scene was also played out in two other directions, with fires in the north and west of the palace, engulfing the houses of the palace. In an instant, shouts and screams came and went, and even rose in the sky, taking place at the north gate and west gate of King Su's Mansion and Lanzhou City.

"Oh no, the enemy is attacking, and the thieves are coming into the city!"

"Hurry, it's on fire, put out the fire!"

"Oh no, someone sneaked into the mansion and wanted to assassinate the prince, go and protect the prince!"

......

For a time, the north gate and the west gate of Lanzhou City were full of gunshots of tiger squatting cannons and firearms, as well as the neighing of war horses, the fighting between soldiers reached a white-hot level, and the shouting of killing shook the sky, so that the people of Lanzhou City woke up from their sleep, listened carefully, and after distinguishing, they hid at home, and did not even dare to light candles.

King Su's mansion has become a pot of porridge, and the soldiers are fighting with Li Guo's eighty people. Gradually, with the passage of time, Li Guo and others have suffered forty casualties, and the rest are more or less injured.

At this moment, Su Wang Zhu Zhihong was standing on top of an attic, quietly watching this scene, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he snorted coldly: "Such a little person dares to attack my Su Wangfu, it is really bold and reckless, I don't know whether to live or die!" Kill them, kill them all, don't leave me a single mouth! ”

Before the words fell, a rush and heavy footsteps came, and the ground creaked and creaked.

Knock knock...

Zhu Zhihong frowned slightly, looked back, and saw a government soldier coming in a hurry, panicked, and was about to scold, but saw the government soldier shouting: "Lord, it's not good, the thieves have entered Lanzhou City, and they have taken the west gate, the north gate and the south gate. ”

"Moreover, Lord Wang, there is also a group of anti-thieves heading towards the south gate, it seems that this group of anti-thieves wants to control the entire Lanzhou City."

The words that came to his mouth were swallowed back raw, and Zhu Zhihong still didn't believe it: "How is it possible?" There are nearly 1,000 city defense troops in the city, how could they be defeated so quickly? ”

Zhu Zhihong panicked, became six gods and no master, only felt that his ears were buzzing, as if he heard the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, and as soon as he finished speaking in a panic, he seemed to think of something, and subconsciously asked: "By the way, how many anti-thieves are there?" ”

The soldier was tired and panting, his face turned pale with fright, and he said worriedly: "Lord Qiqi, according to the estimation of his subordinates from the number of torches they have, there are at least two thousand people. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhihong had a feeling that he wanted to be paralyzed, and said secretly in his heart: "It's over, it must be Li Zicheng's army, and there can be so many people in the vicinity, and only Li Zicheng is the only one who can be a thief." Damn Liu Guangsheng, what are you doing foolishly? Now it's okay, you go to encircle and suppress people, and they will come directly to the bottom of the kettle to draw wages and dig out your nest! Damn, I'll wait, and once this king gets through this, I'll have to give you a heavy ride, old puppet! ”

Between the lightning and flint, a voice sounded in Zhu Zhihong's ears.

"Lord Wang, there is no time, hurry up and leave the palace. While the South Gate has not yet fallen, let's quickly escape from the South Gate of Lanzhou City and ask Governor Liu for help, so as to recover the losses to the greatest extent! ”

Suddenly, Zhu Zhihong woke up from his trance, his eyes lit up, and he immediately echoed: "Steward Han, what you said is good. As long as Liu Guangsheng galloped back with his troops to rescue, he could recapture Lanzhou City. With only more than 2,000 people, Li Zicheng and them can't hold Lanzhou City at all! ”

A glimmer of hope surged in Zhu Zhihong's heart, and while walking downstairs, he shouted: "Quick, prepare the horse, evacuate from the south gate, and ask Governor Liu for help!" ”

At this moment, Zhu Zhihong was anxious in his heart, not only fearful and frightened, but also a glimmer of hope, hoping that he could find Liu Guangsheng when he went out of the city, so as to move troops to recover Lanzhou City. In the city of Lanzhou, there are not only the thousands of family fortunes of King Su for several generations, accumulated over a hundred years, but also his wife and children of Zhu Zhihong.

And Liu Guangsheng's 5,000 soldiers and horses are the hole cards to save his family property and the last hope to save his family!

The moment he walked out of the attic, Zhu Zhihong hurriedly glanced behind him and saw that three teams of cavalry had broken into the gate of the mansion, each holding torches and galloping from the west, north and east gates of the Suwang Mansion.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Zhihong didn't dare to delay, his feet sped up a little, and he walked towards the south gate of King Su's Mansion.
