Chapter 350: The Doubtful Crowd! [1 update]
I saw that above the city tower, a broken cry came, and then I saw an arrow shooting towards Wang Wu, Wang Wu, who was standing under the city, was frightened, almost instinctively waved the big knife in his hand to block at the same time, and instantly rushed out of the range that the arrow could reach.
Wang Wu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he escaped from the range of the arrows, and at the same time looked at the city wall behind him with a frightened expression.
If he had been a little slower, that arrow might have killed him under the walls.
The night was hazy, and Wang Wu quickly rode straight to Wang Yangming and the army who came from afar.
Wang Shouren returned victorious this time, the most important thing is to defeat the rebels of Zhou Boling's army, although it is said that some of the rebels have escaped, but in Wang Shouren's opinion, even if King Ning has any reaction and sends the rebels to deal with them again, it will be at least a few days later.
In a few days, they can do a lot of things, at least they can strengthen their own strength, and if they delay for a few more days, then the reinforcements of the imperial court will be one step closer.
Before his thoughts were flying, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Wang Shouren looked up and saw that Wang Wuzheng, who had been sent to inform Chen Tai and the others in advance, was coming on horseback.
Seeing Wang Wu, Wang Shouren's expression was straight, and he saw that Wang Wu did not dismount when he got close, but saluted Wang Shouren, and then said in parallel with Wang Shouren: "My lord, my subordinates have not been able to open the city gate!" ”
Wang Yangming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, his face showed a little doubt, and he frowned and said, "What's the matter, can it be said that the city has been breached?" ”
But this possibility doesn't seem to be big, at least according to the information they have, the rebels near Ji'an County are only Zhou Boling's troops, and Zhou Boling can't divide his troops and send people to attack the city.
Besides, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, even if most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, but as long as Chen Tai can stabilize the situation, even in the face of tens of thousands of troops attacking the city, at least he can hold out for a day or two, and he will not be unable to hold on for even an afternoon.
Wang Wu said with a wry smile: "My subordinates rushed to the city gate, but as soon as they said a few words, they were ordered to shoot back by the guards on the city tower. ”
Hearing Wang Wu's detailed account of what happened, Wang Shouren quickly understood what was going on, in the final analysis, it was his negligence, and he didn't want to think about it, when they went out, there were only 2,000 people, and the rebels they had to face were tens of thousands.
In this case, I'm afraid that few people, including Chen Tai, will be optimistic about him, and more may be killed by the rebels.
And at this time, they were pressed by the black, and the number of people reached thousands, more than double the two thousand people who came out of the city, what would Chen Tai and others who were guarding the city think, if it was him, I am afraid that the first thing that came to mind was the defeat of the imperial court.
As for Wang Wu, there are not a few people who know Wang Wu on the city wall, but it is precisely because of this that everyone can't believe Wang Wu's words.
In case Wang Wu was captured by the rebels and took refuge in the rebels, and now he is helping the rebels to open the city gate, so it is not surprising that he stood in the position of the general defending the city and thought about it a little, and ordered Wang Wu to be shot.
Don't say that it is those soldiers who defend the city, even if it is replaced by him to defend the city, in the face of this situation, I am afraid that the same measures will be taken.
Wang Wu said with an aggrieved face: "My lord, don't you know, if I hadn't reacted so quickly at that time, I might have been shot to death under the city gate at this time." He didn't die at the hands of the rebels, but at the hands of his own family......"
Wang Shouren smiled slightly, patted Wang Wu's shoulder and said, "It's the official's negligence that didn't take these into account!" ”
As he spoke, Wang Shouren looked at the black, oppressive city wall in front of him, like a fierce beast entrenched on the earth, and chuckled: "Governor Chen, it's great that they can have such vigilance. You have to think about it, if we are rebels, and you go and surrender, if they open the city gate easily, I am afraid that the city will be taken by now. ”
After appeasing Wang Wu, Wang Wu was not so aggrieved, looked at the city wall in the distance and said, "But my lord, if they don't open the city gate, how can we enter the city?" ”
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, Wang Shouren glanced at Wang Wu and said, "Don't worry, stay in front of the city gate, this official will personally go to see Governor Chen and others." ”
The army slowly approached the county seat of Ji'an, and at this time, Chen Tai and other officials in the city were alarmed one by one, and everyone gathered on the city wall, looking at the dense torches below.
At this time, Chen Tai frowned and said, "Have you checked clearly, how many rebels are there?" ”
Captain Wang Yuanlong heard this: "Lord Hui, the subordinates have just made a simple count, according to the number of torches on the other side, the number of the other party should be as many as five or six thousand." ”
Chen Tai was puzzled: "Five or six thousand? Aren't these the main forces of the rebels? ”
Mao Yuan, the county commander on the side, said: "It doesn't seem right, I remember that the rebels have at least tens of thousands of troops, why are there only a few thousand people at this time." ”
An official muttered softly: "Could it be that Lord Wang fought with the rebels and severely damaged the rebels, so there are only so many rebels left." ”
While he was talking, Wang Shouren rode straight towards the city gate, and the movement was naturally not small, which immediately attracted the attention of a group of people above the city tower.
It's just that in the night, it is difficult to see Wang Shouren's figure clearly, and everyone can only rely on the vague figure to see someone coming towards the city gate.
Seeing this, Wang Yuanlong couldn't help but say to the dozens of archers holding bows and arrows around him: "Get ready, this official has ordered that the future will be shot on the spot immediately." ”
"Lord Chen, Wang has returned victorious, please open the city gate!"
On the city wall, Chen Tai and the others couldn't help but change their expressions when they heard Wang Shouren's voice, and everyone's faces showed a look of consternation.
Because the words of the people below who listened to the voice were Wang Shouren, but shouldn't Wang Shouren fight with the rebels, die bravely, and serve the court with his death?
Could it be that Wang Shouren was defeated and failed to take refuge in the rebels?
Some officials flashed such thoughts in their hearts, but Chen Tai's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and tried to look down on the city wall, trying to see Wang Shouren's figure clearly.
It's a pity that it's vague and can't be determined at all.
Chen Tai took a deep breath and said loudly: "Wang Yangming, did you really defeat the rebels and return victorious?" ”
Wang Shouren couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, but he had already expected such a situation, so he didn't bother to speak, patted the horse under him, and then jumped forward, stepped on the city wall, and then his body soared into the sky, and just a vertical kung fu floated down on the city wall.
The city wall is only a few zhang high, maybe for ordinary people to rely on, the distance of a few zhang high is already an insurmountable height, but for Wang Shouren, this height is really nothing.
Suddenly, a figure sprang up from below, appeared in front of it, and almost instinctively, everyone subconsciously took a few steps back.
Even Captain Wang Yuanlong pulled out the long knife at his waist with a look of vigilance.
Then the firelight, but everyone clearly saw that the person who came up from below was Wang Yangming.
When he saw Wang Shouren, Chen Tai's eyes lit up, his face showed joy, he took a few steps forward, looked at Wang Shouren, and couldn't help laughing excitedly when he saw that Wang Shouren was safe and sound.
It's no wonder that Chen Tai is so happy, on the one hand, Wang Shouren's victorious return, which means that the crisis in Ji'an County has been temporarily lifted, on the other hand, Wang Yangming has no accidents, and he can also give an explanation to Wang Hua, an old friend.
"Wang Yangming, Wang Yangming, you really make the old man worry to death!"
Wang Shouren arched his hand at Chen Tai and smiled slightly: "But it was the governor who was concerned!" ”
Mao Yuan and other officials were also like Chen Tai, with a look of joy on their faces.
After a while, everyone calmed down the surprise in their hearts, only to hear Mao Yuan look at Wang Shouren and say, "Lord Wang, did you really defeat the rebels of Zhou Boling's army?" ”
Wang Shouren knew that it was understandable that Mao Yuan and others were suspicious, who made Zhou Boling's rebels more powerful, and nine out of ten people would not think that two thousand soldiers and horses could defeat tens of thousands of rebels.
With a slight smile, Wang Shouren nodded and said: "It's just that Zhou Boling was too careless this time, and he was found by this official to find an opportunity, and he attacked halfway, but he defeated the rebels." ”
Saying that, Wang Shouren pointed to the black oppressive soldiers and horses under the city and said: "This time not only captured the rebel general Zhou Boling, but also collected thousands of rebels, so please open the city gate and let the soldiers enter the city to rest." ”
Mao Yuan looked at Chen Tai, although they said that they believed Wang Shouren's words to a certain extent, but the order to open the city gate was given by Chen Tai.
In case Wang Shouren took refuge in the rebels and deliberately came to open the city gate, then the county seat of Ji'an would really fall easily.
Chen Tai stroked his beard, groaned, glanced at Wang Shouren, and saw Wang Shouren looking at him with a straight face.
Nodding slightly, Chen Tai chose to believe in Wang Shouren, he believed in Wang Shouren's character in Suri, and at the same time believed that it was impossible for Wang Shouren to defect to the rebels, so he raised his hand and waved it and said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate, please enter the city with the victorious army!" ”
Soon Chen Tai's order was passed down, and only a creaking sound could be heard in the night sky, and the closed city gate finally opened.
Seeing this, Wang Yangming shouted in a deep voice to the soldiers and horses below: "Everyone take care of the prisoners, enter the city in turn, if there is any restlessness, kill them!" ”
It was a dark night, and if any of those rebels suddenly made a fuss at this time, the consequences would be serious, and if they didn't do well, they would provoke the instinctive counterattack of the defenders.
