Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Gate Opens from the Inside

The fast horse galloped dangerously over the ditch, and the man jumped down from it.

Zhou Xian saw the Chuzi Lingqi on the back of the person who came, stood up and said, "What do you have to say about Madame?" Is it going to be a full-scale siege? ”

Yangzhou City has been surrounded these days, and the battle has always been on the side of Mrs. Chu State, and there has never been an order to attack the city, so he can only put it with so many soldiers and horses.

"Madame's side is about to attack the city." Commanding soldiers.

Zhou Xian was overjoyed: "I will definitely take the southeast direction." ”

Ling Bing shook his head: "It's not for the general to cooperate in the siege, but to take the opportunity to send a few people to infiltrate Yangzhou City." ”

Sneak into? Zhou Xian looked at the city in front of him: "How many people?" What can a few people do when they go in? Open the gates? ”

The assassination master will open the city gate and then break through the city, only in the mouth of the storyteller of the theater restaurant, tea shop.

Ling Bing said: "There are some problems in the city, Madame will let you go in and take a look." ”

"What's the problem?" Zhou Xian continued to ask.

If you know what the problem is, and what else do you go in to see, Ling Bing is a little angry, Zhou Xian is a stranger to him, and he is called Zhenwu Army, but this is his father's birth, and he is far away in Yizhou, and he has no daily contact.

Although he was ordered, it didn't seem to be obeyed.

When the stalemate between the two parties was a little stagnant, someone floated over gently, leaning over as if curious and said: "General, Yangzhou City has been besieged for so long, it's good to go in and take a look, and know yourself and your enemy." "If you can see their heavy sloppy storehouse, set it on fire." ”

Zhou Xian said: "The heavy grain and grass in the city is different from that of marching outside, it is not easy to burn, and it is useless to burn it." ”

The man replied, "I don't understand this." ”

This interruption dissipated the stagnant atmosphere, and Ling Bing looked at this man, wearing a soldier's robe, very thin, not too young, with a white face and beard, long eyebrows and long eyes, and there always seemed to be a smile on his face.

is not a deputy general or a pro-soldier, and he doesn't look like a soldier at all.

"I'm a small official under Master Wei, and I'm in charge of transporting grain and grass this time." The man took the initiative to introduce himself and smiled, "Three sentences are not far from the bank." ”

Lingbing nodded at him and did not speak.

Zhou Xian turned his head to look at the deputy general: "The ladder frame enters the city." ”

The adjutant general responded, and the soldiers naturally stopped talking, and the grain and grass officer also quietly retreated.

Zhou Xian didn't disobey orders, but he was choked in his heart, will this woman fight? Looks like he's here to make a mess.

Originally, everyone was invincible, and they could tear down the city wall of Yangzhou City in ten days and half a month in one go, but she never ordered the siege of the city.

Just because I see the people being used as meat shields, I can't bear it? The compassion of the gods and goddesses cannot be used in war, otherwise why don't you see gods and Buddhas in troubled times.

The ground shook, and then the sound of fighting was like thunder, mixed with crying.

Zhou Xian looked at the sky in the distance, and he could imagine that the picture over there was no different from before, why was there a problem in the city?

Since it is not a siege, just to infiltrate, there can be no large-scale battle, and the number of people cannot be too many, through the battle over there, Zhou Xian's soldiers and horses after paying the price of ten people, three of them successfully entered the city.

The scene inside the city shocked the trio.

The streets were full of people, and the people who had been driven away were running and shouting, some rushing to their homes and closing the doors, and some of them were killed on the spot by swords and guns that hit the soldiers and horses.

The generals are killing.

It's not surprising that the rebels in the city will kill, but not like this.

The hundreds of thousands of people in the city can't be killed if they want to be killed, so they should be divided into batches like pigs and sheep, which is both labor-saving and deterrent.

A group of people are pulled out, and the rest of them will rejoice that it was someone else who died, and rejoice that they have extravagant hopes, and extravagant hopes and fears keep them from resisting.

If the rebels kill indiscriminately, there is only fear and no extravagant hope, and the crowd will collapse, and if hundreds of thousands of people collapse, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be difficult to control.

The rebels naturally knew this, so even if they were almost desperate after being besieged, they didn't kill people like crazy, just because there was still a glimmer of hope, and if there was hope, they didn't want the city to collapse.

So why now? The battle outside the city is obviously still going on, and they still have the advantage.

"The Huainan Army is attacking the city!"

"Pull the meat shields up!"

"How much?"

"What to do? What about people? ”

The generals on the city wall were also in chaos, watching the battle in the distance as more and more people fell, and the army moved towards the city.

There are still many people who are tied up and driven away under the city wall, and what to do next has already been arranged, but no one gives orders in a panic.

"Master Ma ran away?"

"Master Ma has run away!"

"How could Master Ma leave us!"

Of course, there are also generals who wave their hands and continue to fight, kill, and drive away the people's soldiers, but they can't stop the spread of chaos.

Standing on the high walls, you can see that the city is full of people.

The people who were hiding at home with the door locked and barely thinking they were safe were all killed by Ma Jiang, and the rebels are going to be defeated, so run for their lives, such shouts will be drawn out.

The crowd running around was blocked by the rebels, but they didn't squat down with their heads in their hands as before, some screamed and wanted to rush over, some simply wanted to take the rebels' knives and guns, most of them died under the knives and guns, but there were also those who killed the rebels by relying on more people, and some rushed over and grabbed the rebels and cried....

"You're from Qili Township! I can hear your accent! Big brother, I'm also from Qili Township! We're folks! ”

Most of the rebels under Ma Jiang were Huainan Provincial Guards, and most of them were Huainan Provincial locals.

At this time, the little soldier was hugged by the man in front of him, and when he heard the cry in the local dialect, the hand holding the knife suddenly couldn't cut down.

"Mrs. Chu said that as long as you can fight for her, you will be her soldiers and horses!"

"Mrs. Chu regains Yangzhou City, surrenders her guns and does not kill!"

Shouts rang out in the streets, and a man in a military robe could be seen shouting.

Did the rebels themselves rebel ......

The man swept away the rebels around him and rushed forward like tigers, raising his arms and shouting.

"Let's go open the gates!"

......

......

Crowds poured towards the city gates.

The uproar in the city also spread to the city walls, and Ma Jiang died? Ma Jiang is dead! Open the city gate for Mrs. Chu?

The people who were driven away as meat shields on the city wall also immediately shouted.

"Mrs. Chu Guo said that those who fight for her are all heroes of Huainan Dao!"

"I saw it! Mrs. Chu's soldiers and horses also collected their corpses! ”

"Fight for the Lady of Chu! Open the gates, everyone! ”

The people who were about to be pushed off the city wall smashed at the rebels on this side first, fighting for knives and guns, or simply jumped off the wall with the rebels in their arms.

They cried out outside the city, shouting for help again as they were being beaten and persecuted at night, this time louder and more powerful, and there was a hint of joy in their cries.

"Help! Mrs. Chu help! Ma Jiang is dead! Ma Jiang is dead! ”

.....

.....

The soldiers and horses of Huainan Province stepped on the trench filled by the corpses of the rebels, and got closer and closer to the city.

On the city wall, you can see the people being pushed and arrows as before, but unlike before, this time the war drums behind him have not stopped.

Is this going to be a siege? Trying to attack the city?

Their pace couldn't help but quicken, although the ladder frame of the high car was far from keeping up, but the momentum was finally able to counterattack.

Some people fell down from the city walls, screaming and crying.

The drums behind him seemed to slow down, but they still didn't stop....

The speed of the soldiers and horses increased, and they grasped their crossbows and aimed them at the high walls.....

"Ma Jiang is dead! Ma Jiang is dead! ”

The shouts poured out from the city walls, and the horses that smashed the approaching ones screamed and raised their hooves.....

The shouting was like a rolling wave, just like the words of the previous shouting of Mrs. Chu Guo, but this time it came from the front.

Ma Jiang is dead, Ma Jiang is dead.

Zhongwu's face was shocked, is it really fake?

"The people on the walls are fighting the rebels! There was also a huge hustle and bustle in the city. "The letter soldier is urgent.

Zhongwu said: "Will there be fraud?" ”

Before the letter soldier could answer, Li Minglou shouted Baobao: "Beat the drums, attack the city." ”

The bag put down the black umbrella and took the drumstick from Li Minglou's hand and waved it vigorously.

War drums, flags waving, horns blowing, and the soldiers and horses standing still in heaven and earth are instantly alive.

The frame is sparkling, the horse's hooves are rolling, the feet are trampling, and the square is round.

Li Minglou stood on the high car, and the white yarn fluttered and watched the army rush towards Yangzhou City.

......

......

Zhou Xian jumped up, and finally waited for the order to attack the city.

"Let them know we're good." He shouted, "Attack...."

Before the word city was shouted, the horn in the distance changed, and Zhou Xian held the knife in disbelief.

"Did you make a mistake?" He asked, "Why is it that the city is broken?" ”

Lingbing looked at the Lingqi in the distance: "That's right, it said that the city gate was opened from the inside." ”

Zhou Xian looked at the soldiers with a strange expression: "Sending someone to sneak in really opened the city gate?" ”

If he knew it would be so easy, he would have sent someone to sneak in earlier!
