1124 The battle in front of the city gate
But he still had some scheming and didn't call the police immediately, but looked down with wide eyes to confirm the truth of the news. And the other party seemed to be intent on letting him see it, they rode their horses directly to the moat, and with the help of the torch in their hands, Zhang Chunyin recognized Jinyiwei's flying fish suit very clearly! So although I can't see who the face is, I can already confirm the truth of the matter! There are really few people in Daming who dare to wear flying fish suits!
When they ran to the moat, they jumped off their horses, and relying on their horses as cover, they drew their short guns and fired at their pursuers. The pursuers obviously knew the power of the short guns, and when they saw them pull out the short guns, they slowed down the pursuit.
Taking this opportunity, someone in the brocade guard below shouted: "Those in the city, hurry up and call someone to help!" ”
His shouting woke up Zhang Chunyin! He hurriedly got up and turned to the other side of the wall, and began to pull a rope on the city's head! The rope was long and connected to a small barracks under the city.
Normally, soldiers guarding the gates were not allowed to build houses near the gates. They were supposed to live in the caves of the city walls. However, in peacetime, no one wanted to live in a cold, dark and damp cave, so they built a small military camp below.
It is said to be a military camp, but it is actually more like a quadrangle. The end of the rope was attached to a bell on a wooden shelf in the middle of the courtyard. As soon as Zhang Chunyin pulled the rope, the bronze bell rang as soon as it swung back and forth.
As soon as the bronze bell rang, it woke up all the sleeping people in the courtyard! Everyone is scolding! "What is Lao Zhang doing on this dog's day?"
"Is he unable to sleep, seeing that we are sleeping with red eyes, I will hammer him to death when I turn around!"
Just as the soldiers were scolding, their officers woke up in a daze! But he hasn't really woken up yet, because today Liu Hao rewarded him with a piece of silver, and he cut off a piece to buy a table of wine and feast all his subordinates to drink! And as a funder, he drank the most, and he still hasn't drunk yet!
He struggled to sit up from the bed, and was also scolding: "Zhang Chunyin on the dog day, didn't he just let you be on duty all night?" Fucking toss in the middle of the night......"
At this point, he suddenly came to his senses, because he finally realized that it was a wake-up call outside! So in an instant his drunken spirit disappeared, and the man jumped out of bed, groping for clothes in the dark!
After finally touching the pants and hurriedly putting them on, I grabbed something similar to a belt, tied the pants, and started to touch the knife again! It's hard to touch clothes, but it's easy to touch a knife! Because the knife hung on the head of the bed and hadn't been touched for years!
He rushed out of the yard with a knife in his hand and shouted, "Alarm! Alert! Get up and go up to the castle tower! ”
Hearing his shout, the shouting in the courtyard suddenly stopped, and then there was a loud and noisy shouting! "How can the alarm bells go off, what's going on at this time?"
"Where's the fuck my pants? Don't touch me! ”
"Who is so bold to come and touch the city in the middle of the night? Could it be that the Woko are coming again? ”
In the midst of this chaos, people finally rushed out of the courtyard one after another. It was then that they saw in the middle of the courtyard, where their heads were pulling a coat off their laps and putting it on their bodies, and they hurried into the room again with their bare feet, apparently looking for trousers!
By the time the officer staggered out of the room, the other soldiers had all appeared in the courtyard! However, they were still disheveled, their hair was disheveled, and no one was wearing armor. But fortunately, the weapon is still in my hand!
But the officer couldn't care much at this time, and directly waved his hand to signal them to hurry up to the city wall! By the time they rushed up the walls, the sound of fire was already ringing outside the city! Hearing this voice, the officer was even more frightened! Along the way, I have begged all the immortals who can be named!
As soon as he went up to the city tower, Zhang Chunyin pounced on him and pulled him to look under the city wall, and at the same time said with a crying voice: "Those people shouted just now, saying that the commander of the Jinyi Guard was ambushed, let us go down to reinforce them, or open the city gate and let them in?" What to do? What to do? ”
The officer subconsciously vetoed both requests! It is impossible to open the gates of the city! Unless there is a warrant from the highest official, it is a sin to open the gates at night to behead!
As for going down to the rescue, don't even think about it! He still knows what kind of virtue his own soldier is! If you want to say that you want to oppress the common people, it's okay to catch a petty thief, but the person who dares to assassinate the commander of the Jinyi Guard must be a vicious thief, and he will also send people to death if he takes people down, how dare he go down?
It's just that the officer remembered again that this Jinyi Guard commander was also a great official for him, what if he retaliated afterwards because he didn't go to reinforcements?
Just when he was full of thoughts, he had been dragged to the edge of the city wall by Zhang Chunyin! He leaned on the city wall, looked through the moonlight, and saw six people on the edge of the moat playing short guns outside under the cover of war horses! And the other group of more than ten people was wearing night clothes, black scarves and masks, and holding sharp blades, which was not a good thing at first glance! They're charging forward with a shot from a short gun! Two people have already fallen on the way to the charge!
The officer gasped when he saw the situation in front of him! A dozen people fighting five or six people is basically equivalent to three to one, but isn't the people below dead?
At this moment, I heard someone below shouting loudly: "Liu Haojia in the command room of this official Jinyi Guard!" This official orders you to come and help! Defeat these assassin officers to be promoted to three levels, and the bounty is a thousand taels! ”
This reward is not insignificant, and the heads of the officers and soldiers are dizzy when they hear it! The official has been promoted to the third level, a thousand taels of silver, and I can't touch a good thing in a few lifetimes, and two of them came tonight! In an instant, all the soldiers looked at the officer with red eyes, waiting for him to make a decision!
But an officer is an officer after all, and his knowledge is much better than that of these simple-minded soldiers! He knew that even if he went to open the city gate now, these people who rushed out would just deliver food! And there's not enough time! Maybe by the time they rush out, all the people outside will be dead!
But he looked at the red eyes of his soldiers, and at this moment his wisdom exploded! He shouted, "It's too late! Let's get down to the city, open the city gate, and then put down the drawbridge and rush out, at least half a pillar of incense! If you have this time, you might as well put the hanging basket! ”
After saying that, he grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand, pressed the circlip with his left hand, and wanted to pull the knife out! But this knife, which has not been touched for many years, has no face at all, and it has not been pulled out twice in a row! The officer was also anxious at this time, and directly raised the scabbard and smashed it on the city wall, only to hear the creak of the circlip as if it was opened!
