Chapter 389 (Xie Laohua Xiong, Ye Shuo, Huaisha 15, Light Navy SE and other brothers' monthly tickets.) ）

With the narration of the old man, the fog in the hearts of the generals was finally cleared, and at the same time, they secretly smacked their tongues about the danger of this plan.

It turned out that this old man Niu was an old stonemason near the left side of Gunzhou, and his son inherited his father's business as a stonemason.

When the city of Gunzhou was broken, his son was working in the city and could not escape, and was pulled by the thieves. The old man fled in time with his little grandson, and the daughter-in-law was also in the city with her son, and now she doesn't know life or death; When the army arrived south, the grandfather and grandson had been hiding in the mountains for more than 20 days, and the thieves retreated into the city to defend them, so that the old stonemason dared to sneak home to get some clothes.

Because the weather was getting colder, the old stonemason felt sorry for his grandson, so he took the risk to hide at home for a few days, but he did not expect to be discovered by the horse team of Song Nan and Daniel Zhang hanging out, and after Song Nan's relief and explanation, the old stonemason dispelled his worries and told him a secret along the city wall of the Surabaya River.

However, wherever the city is near the lake or river, the lake or river water will be brought into the city, which has almost become the practice of urban construction; Living water into the city can not only open up lakes and gardens in the city to meet the living place of the rich, but also the river in the city can meet the daily water needs, such as Zhuozhou is blessed with such a unique water resource, even a fool will think of using him.

But Zhuozhou is a strong city after all, since the city defense is strong, it cannot destroy the pattern of the entire city defense when the water is diverted, so the government spent a lot of effort to gather the stonemasons of Zhuozhou to dig a dark river leading to Surabaya at the bottom of the city wall of the East City Gate. In this way, the river water enters the city from under the city wall and is introduced into the city, which does not destroy the overall pattern of the city defense, but also diverts the river water to use, which is the best of both worlds.

When the old stonemason was young, he was one of the stonemasons who dug the culvert under the city, this culvert is the passage that Song Nan most expected to enter the city.

The generals are fascinated, there is a secret passage to enter the city, is it still a thing to attack the city? It's much better than being shirtless. Most of the governors wanted the old man to point out where the culvert was.

Everyone urged the old man repeatedly, asking him to point out where the culvert was, and as soon as the old man opened his mouth, he poured a scoop of cold water on everyone's head.

"Soldiers, although the old man participated in digging the culvert, but that was decades ago, the old man really doesn't know the exact location, and the person is old and useless, I'm afraid you have to look along the river to remember. In addition, the culvert is at the bottom of the Surabaya River, that is, it is found, how can you enter it? There are also iron fences on both sides of the culvert that filter the debris of branches and leaves, and the distance from the river into the city is more than 40 zhang, who can hold their breath for so long? The old man said it in his head, if he couldn't help, don't blame the old man. ”

Everyone looked at Song Nan silently, but Song Nan didn't think about it and said: "It's okay, the old man only remembers where the culvert is located, and how to enter the city is our business." I promise you that once you enter the city, I will find your son and daughter-in-law for you, help Xiaohu'er find his father and mother, and reunite your family. And after conquering Gunzhou, you are a meritorious man, and I will ask the emperor to reward you with land and silver, so that you can live a good life. ”

The old man shook his head and said: "There is no need for fields and silver, I just want the family to reunite and live in peace, let's go to the east gate and have a look." ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "It's hard work, but it's not possible now, we can't get close, the city is a thief shooting arrows, so let's go again at night, today is nineteen, there is a moon in the second half of the night, you should be able to see clearly." ”

The old stonemason nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you this old bone." ”

Song Nan said: "Don't worry, boss, we will protect your safety, and there will be no incident." ”

After the old stonemason retreated with his grandson, Song Nan looked at the generals with a smile and said, "How, if you find out where the culvert is, who dares to lead the team into the city?" Pengzhong, do you dare? ”

Peng Zhong shook his head and said, "The last general will not go." ”

Hou Dabiao sneered: "The cowhide blew loudly just now, but now it has become cowardly, what kind of ability is it to be fierce in the mouth." ”

Peng Zhongsheng blushed and said, "Who is your grandson, I just ...... Just ......"

Wang Yong chirped: "Just what? Wrapping eggs. ”

Peng Zhong said angrily: "I belong to the scales, and when I enter the water, I will sink down, how can I dive into the city?" If you tell me to go, it's a big deal to drown. ”

Everyone burst into laughter, it turned out that this guy was afraid of water, no wonder he was twisting and pinching like a little girl.

"Laugh fart, are you all white stripes? Who can dive into the forty-zhang canal? Who of you dares to brag about this cowhide. ”

The generals smiled suddenly, scratched their heads and thought, this thing is really difficult to do, there are many people who know water, but it is terrible to think about being able to hold their breath and dive through dozens of zhang of culverts, once they reach the middle, they can't hold back, there is a city wall rock on it, there is no way out in front of it, there is no circuit in the back, and they are not drowned alive in the culvert; I can't think about it, and the more I think about it, the more scared I become.

Song Nan smiled and said, "None of you need to go, I'll go into the city in person." ”

"Brother Nan, and me." Li Daniu said with his chest straight.

Song Nan nodded and said, "Naturally, you are indispensable, I admire your water nature." ”

Wang Yong hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't go, no matter how good the water is, no matter how good the water is, you can't sneak into forty zhang away, Brother Da Niu, don't follow the coax immediately, you are good at the water nature, then you tell me if it is you, how far can you sneak in one breath?" ”

Li Daniu thought about it and said honestly: "Seven or eight zhang, ten zhang is amazing." ”

Wang Yong clapped his hands and said, "Ah, is the water nature of adults better than yours?" That's not going to happen, and I strongly disagree with that. ”

Everyone wilted like a deflated ball, and it seemed that after a long day of work, this method still did not work. But seeing that the Metropolitan Governor looked like he was not attacked, the generals were suspicious in their hearts, and they wanted to ask for details, and the Metropolitan Governor had already ordered the return of the account.

After a short pause, they heard the shouts in front of the camp and did not know what had happened, so they rushed to the camp to watch.

But seeing hundreds of soldiers lined up, each with a piece of paper full of words in his hand, was shouting in unison to the city: "Listen, people in the city! Emperor Daming issued a decree to abolish the law of Shiwu sitting, and all thieves and people were pardoned for their crimes, and they were not to blame in the past. The leader of the thieves in the city, but those who have no great evil will be pardoned, and only the chief evil will be punished, and those who will not be involved in it. Anyone who captures and kills the leader of the stubborn rebels will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds and conferred official positions. The thief leader who leads the crowd to surrender to sincerity can be regarded as recruiting peace and surrendering to sincerity. From now on, even if one officer or soldier is injured, he will be regarded as a fellow thief and will not be tolerated......"

Lu Wan's selection were all soldiers with loud voices, and more than 100 people shouted together, the momentum was shocking, and the defenders at the head of the city listened slowly at first, and then turned their heads and ears. The leaders panicked and cursed again and again, not allowing the soldiers to listen to these demagogic words, but how could they stop the spread of the noise. He ordered an arrow, but because the other party was standing under the city, the bow and arrow were out of reach.

A thief soldier was immediately hacked to death by the leader and pushed off the city because he looked at the leader with a wrong gaze, causing a riot in the city.

The sound of shouting was in the ears, setting off a monstrous wave in the hearts of the thieves, although these people were coerced to kill or injure people many times, and they could not turn back because of the method of sitting together, but after all, they were just ordinary people, and they regretted their actions in their hearts, listening to the shouts of the officers and soldiers under the city, their hearts couldn't help but move, but they were only taken by the obscenity of the leader of the thieves, and no one dared to come out to lead, so they didn't dare to really act, but unconsciously the seeds had been planted in their hearts.

Soon after, the officers and soldiers set up cannons under the city, and when the thieves on the city thought that the siege of the officers and soldiers was about to begin, there were more than a dozen banging sounds, but the cannons of the officers and soldiers all fired cannons, and none of them hit the head of the city.

The thieves and the people of the city were amazed, when they suddenly saw the cannonballs explode in the sky, and then thousands of pieces of paper fell one after another, in the streets and alleys, and among the people who were forced to participate in the defense of the city.

Someone picked it up and looked at the words on it, which read: When the city is broken, those who assist the officers and soldiers in killing the enemy will not be blamed in the past, and those who assist in the thieves will not be punished. The inscription is the Ming Dynasty thief Metropolitan Governor, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the Yongguan Marquis Song Nan.

No matter how vicious the thieves and soldiers were scolding and beating, the news on these pieces of paper spread rapidly in the city, and some people expressed doubts, not so much as doubts about the promises on paper, but doubts about whether the officers and soldiers could break through the city; Once the officers and soldiers break through the city, there are no such words on paper, and the people will not hesitate to throw themselves on the side of the officers and soldiers.

They have had enough of these vicious thieves, they are a hundred times more murderous than the officers and soldiers than the court, it turns out that there are still people who applaud these rebellious thieves, when their cities and homes are captured by the thieves, they know how ignorant and ridiculous they were before, this is not the savior of the general way of heaven, but a group of demons who do all kinds of evil.
