Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 323 Capture Tongchuan (Medium)
When the soldiers and horses who were keeping vigil at the head of Tongchuan City saw a large number of troops approaching, they were really startled.
However, as the people and horses below got closer and there were torches illuminated, it finally made it clear to them that the whole team was wearing their own clothes and armor, and the flags that looked quite broken were also the banners of Tongchuan.
"Open the gates!"
Immediately, a general, surrounded by several personal guards, took the lead in a fierce manner, shouting: "I am a bone!" ”
"It's really a bold man...... there are subordinates of his tribe in the defenders of the city, and he heard his voice at once, and shouted in surprise: "Touren, didn't you lead the troops with the Yang people to save Shunzhou, why did you come back again?" ”
"We were ambushed halfway, so naturally we had to retreat. Don't open the door quickly, let us in, many warriors are wounded and need to be treated......" Dougu said loudly and anxiously, and ordered the gate to be opened.
The barbarians who kept vigil did not have as many concerns and rules as the Han generals, and now it was their own head who called the door, so naturally they did not dare to have any further suspicions of delay, so they immediately agreed, hurriedly called the people of the same team, and ran down to open the city gate.
A moment later, with a creaking sound, the high and thick city gate separating the inside and outside was slowly opened, and the soldiers looked at the many soldiers of the same clan who were covered in blood and even their clothes and armor were damaged, and they were even more concerned, and they just wanted to come forward to express their condolences.
But before they could step forward, they saw the city gate open, and the soldiers and horses outside had rushed forward, and the first team of men and horses rushed even faster, and immediately grabbed the key places around the city gate, and then another group of people swept past them, and directly controlled the few dazed barbarian warriors who were still latching the city gate.
"You ...... this"
These warriors were still at a loss, and the fierce bones on the opposite side smiled humbly and said to a young man who came behind them: "My lord, Yang Li should be in the Taishou Mansion in the city, but do you want the little one to lead you over?" ”
What's going on? This person doesn't look like my Tongchuan nobleman at all...... How do you look at it, how do you look like Han Chinese......
While these people were hesitating, dozens of strong men behind the young man rushed up, and without saying a word, they had already held them all down and tied them up.
"What are you doing...... Who are you......"
It was only then that the vigil realized that something was wrong, and they began to shout while struggling.
But before they could say a few words, their mouths were also blocked by the cloth ball, and then they saw that the young man didn't even look at them, so he pointed straight ahead: "According to the old rules, first take the Taishou Mansion, the armory, and the granary!" Let's go! ”
As soon as Sun Ning gave the order, the soldiers of the Japanese battalion who had been entering the city behind him immediately responded loudly, and they were quickly divided into several teams, and under the guidance of the barbarian guides who had already surrendered, they went towards their respective goals.
They had already been ordered on the way here, and when they moved separately, they were naturally organized and swift.
Sun Ning, on the other hand, arranged for two sentries and horses to guard the city gate here, and then led people to move forward slowly, and then stopped slightly in front of the shelf where people were tied, and looked at Li Quan who looked surprised.
"Who is he? What did you do? ”
Sun Ning recognized this as a Han man at a glance, and asked casually.
"He's the patriarch...... Yang Li's cronies and staff, I heard that they were whipped and displayed to the public because they received Shunzhou's money and was discovered by Yang Li. ”
"Oh?" The corners of Sun Ning's mouth curled, and he took a few steps forward, carefully looking at this guy who was obviously not lightly injured and looked quite haggard, "Is it the Yang Lil you said to move to send troops?" ”
Li Quan didn't recover from the current shock, he just stared blankly at the soldiers and horses rushing to the city around him, and only nodded hard after a long time and admitted it.
"Untie him. You can be regarded as a great favor for me, if you don't say that you move the yang gravel, our army will not be able to enter Tongchuan easily this time. Therefore, the previous things can be written off. Sun Ning said, casually raised his horsewhip, and was about to lead the troops forward.
At this time, Li Quan, who was almost knocked to the ground by the generals who cut the ropes on his body with a knife, finally woke up like a dream, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Excellency is a member of the imperial court? The small ones have secret reports. ”
Sun Ning, who was about to gallop, immediately pulled the reins again, turned around and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"The little one knows where he usually hides the gravel...... He did not spend the night in the Taishou Mansion, but would go to a courtyard in the south of the city every night. Li Quan hurriedly said loudly again.
In case Sun Ning didn't believe it, he even added: "Because half a year ago, he was assassinated by my Han people in Taishou Mansion and almost lost his life. So from then on, I didn't dare to stay there...... This secret is only known to a very few people around him......"
"And this?" Sun Ning smiled, this is really important news, it is related to whether he can easily take Tongchuan.
After all, there are not many people and horses he brought into the city, and he must hit several important points with one blow to ensure that the forces in the city can no longer resist, and Yang Li is the most critical point.
He is the leader of the city, and as long as he is outside, the other barbarians will quickly gather and fight to the death. But as soon as he is taken, the other barbarians will be scattered, and they can only wait for death or surrender.
"Okay, you lead the way!"
Without too much hesitation, Sun Ning spoke directly and promised: "As long as what you say is true, let me take the Yang Gravel, even if you have a great achievement, you can enter the imperial court!" ”
Li Quan wanted this statement, and immediately agreed loudly with vigor, and then he didn't care about the injuries on his body, led the way with his head, led the way with this team of hundreds of people, and rushed straight to a certain street and alley in the south of the city.
At this time, Tongchuan City was already in chaos.
The sudden arrival of these many enemies and their chaotic streak naturally alarmed the people of the city, and those who had the courage to go out to inquire were immediately arrested by the Vietnamese soldiers or killed on the spot.
Along with the screams, the people in the city and others were even more chaotic, screaming and screaming.
It's just that before they could come up with a certain idea, the Vietnamese soldiers had already rushed into their homes with knives and guns, and for a while they were intimidating, so that they did not dare to act rashly again.
No matter how brave the barbarians are, ordinary people will not dare to compete with the real army after all, not to mention that they do not have a backbone, and they are still at home, with wives and children to protect.
As a result, the Vietnamese army only sent a small number of soldiers and horses to patrol the streets for a while, and after killing more than a dozen guys who left home without permission to ask for help, the situation was completely controlled.
And the teams sent to occupy the armory and granaries were also extremely smooth, and almost in a single attack, they took down all the important places of these warehouses.
After all, from top to bottom in Tongchuan City, no one would have thought that when Shunzhou was still in a stalemate, their city would be broken first.
At this time, the sky was just dawning, and half of Tongchuan had fallen into the hands of the Vietnamese army, leaving only the question of whether they could hold the yang gravel.
