"Master Wen, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

As soon as he entered the city, he was greeted by a hundred households, and listening to the tone, he obviously knew Wen Dehai.

Wen Dehai said quietly: "There is an order from above, there is a batch of weapons to be sent to Anton Wei, I haven't seen Brother Cao for a long time, so I came with me." ”

"Oh, then use me to tell Lord Cao?"

"Forget it, let him fall asleep first, and you can report it early tomorrow morning."

"Alright, please come with me."

The one of the hundred subordinates took the wagon with weapons, and then instructed them to entertain the hundred or so soldiers who had come with him, and he himself took Wen Dehai and Wang Quan to an inn.

"Master Wen, you will stay overnight tonight, and I will pick you up early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, you go get busy."

Wen Dehai said goodbye to Qianhu at the door, and then changed his serious face, and looked at the king on the side with a smile on his face: "Lord, are you still satisfied here?" ”

"Whatever, I don't pick."

Wang Quanquan took the lead in entering the inn after leaving the next sentence, and Liu Luming, who followed the light, followed closely behind.

Each of the three of them chose a private room on the second floor, and the rooms were lined up.

Wang Quanquan picked the middle one and walked in, and when he entered the door, he seemed to remember something, and after a pause, he said to Wen Dehai:

"Brother Wen, you don't need to be so polite to me in the future, what I admire most in my life is a bloody person like you."

After saying that, he went straight into the house.

Wen Dehai froze slightly, and then said in a voice that only he could hear, "Hey! ”

The reason why Wang Quanquan said this is not how wonderful the other party's story is, no matter how wonderful the story is, it cannot be ruled out that there are elements of fabrication.

Before leaving Beijing, he already knew the route in advance, and went to the official department to check the information of the officials along the way.

Wen Dehai's life is not as simple as he said.

The part that the other party intentionally or unintentionally conceals is precisely the most exciting.

The reason why he was able to achieve the position of Futai, in addition to good luck, most of it was obtained by him by military merits, and the five years at the border were not as easy as he said.

Wang Quanquan lay on the bed, no longer thinking about it, and soon there was a deep snoring in the room.

On this quiet night, several figures appeared in a dark alley in the city.

Outside the city, a large number of figures also appeared from all directions at this time.

……

The next morning, just after the rooster crowed, the city suddenly remembered the noisy sound of gongs and drums.

Liu Luming, who was "making faces" on the bed, turned over, muttered "It's noisy to death", and then continued to sleep.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

"Don't sleep, it's time for a war."

The person who came was Wang Quanquan, who walked to Liu Luming's bed and lifted his quilt.

Liu Luming opened his eyes in a daze and muttered, "What kind of battle?" ”

Wang Quanquan leaned into his ear and whispered, "The Japanese have called." ”

Liu Luming, who was still sleepy-eyed, immediately became clever when he heard this, and on the way here, the king had told him about the cruelty of the Japanese Invaders, and now when he heard that the Japanese were coming, he was subconsciously surprised.

Wang Quanquan didn't lie to him, the sound of gongs and drums just now was to convey the military situation. He was asleep just now, Wen Dehai directly pushed the door in and told him the news, and his expression at that time was the same as Liu Luming now.

The two of them went out of the inn together, went straight to the direction of the city wall, and saw yesterday's hundred households under the city, and the hundred households knew that they were brought by Wen Dehai, so they let them go up directly.

At this moment, the city wall was already full of soldiers, each with a bow and arrow in his hand, aimed below.

"Lord Wen, what's going on?"

Wang Quanquan saw Wen Dehai at a glance, and there was a middle-aged man standing next to him at this time, which should be the Lord Cao who he said yesterday.

Seeing that it was the king's authority, Wen Dehai first nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "The Japanese invaders surrounded this city overnight last night. ”

"The second half of the night?"

"It should be."

The royal authority who got the answer could only feel glad that they had entered the city close to midnight, and if it was any later, I was afraid that they would have to meet these gangsters.

At this time, Liu Luming had the courage to glance down, and immediately trembled in fright, "Why are there so many?" ”

At this time, there were at least 1,000 Japanese robbers surrounded by the city, and their 100 or so people were not enough to stuff each other's teeth.

Wen Dehai frowned and said: "There really shouldn't be so many, the Japanese who are active in Donglu all the year round are only eight or nine hundred, according to the trend under the city, they are still gathering here, plus the ambush soldiers who stay in the shadows, the real number is very likely to reach more than one thousand and five, or even two thousand." ”

"Lord Cao, how many troops are Anton Wei?"

Wang Quanquan asked the middle-aged man on the side, it stands to reason that the other party has no reason to besiege a guard, and each guard has at least 5,000 people.

Even if there are 2,000 people on the other side, they are completely crushed.

"Less than 2,000 ......"

Master Cao's face was bitter.

"How so?"

"Yesterday, Lingshanwei sent a secret message, saying that they were being harassed by a large number of Japanese bandits, and they needed Anton Wei to send 3,000 troops to help resist.

At that time, I didn't think much about it, and directly sent troops to support, and now at this hour, it is estimated that the 3,000 people have not yet arrived at Lingshanwei. ”

"For the sake of today's plan, I can only stick to it."

As soon as Wen Dehai finished speaking, the widows below had a new move.

I saw that they had come to several carriages, and there were still things on them.

When they walked in, the sharpest-eyed Wang Quanquan was the first to see the appearance of the things in the car, and he said in disbelief: "Where did they get the artillery?" ”

However, Wen Dehai's reply shocked him even more: "They made it themselves." ”

Seeing that the other party was so surprised, Wen Dehai explained:

"The Wako are not as simple as we think, they are an organized and disciplined gang of bandits, and in order to fight the imperial court, they even built their own ordnance factory."

Hearing this, Wang Quanquan felt a little crying and laughing, and a group of would-be robbers were more motivated than the court.

But come to think of it, doing business all day long with your head pinned to your belt, you must be doing everything.

"Can you still hold it now?"

"Although the other side has artillery, there is no need to worry too much, the thickness of our city wall can completely withstand it."

Wang Quanquan nodded when he heard this.

The city walls of each guard of the dynasty are at least five meters thick, the outside is covered with masonry, and the inside is rammed earth, which is a triple soil mixed with cooked soil and sand and lime, and it is also mixed with glutinous rice juice, tung oil, etc., this kind of city wall built regardless of the cost can indeed be unbreakable under the attack of artillery.

While everyone was talking, the previous hundred households hurriedly came to the city wall, and opened their mouths to say a shocking news to everyone:

"Oh no, my lord, there are spies in the city, and all the carrier pigeons have been let go."

"What?"

Before Lord Cao could ask, another soldier ran up.

"Oh no, my lord, the gates of the city have been opened from the inside."

This time, everyone didn't even have time to ask, and Lord Cao directly gave an order: "Assemble, prepare to attack!" ”
