Chapter 700 Thousands of thieves to husband and wife shoulder to shoulder
With Chu Liancheng's arm waving downward, more than a dozen sturdy figures in the team he brought with him sneaked towards the exit of the copper mine. These people are quick and athletic, and at a glance, you can know that they are all kings of strength who are proficient in the method of technical attack.
The thirty or so sergeants not far away were unaware, and the direction in which these people were sneaking was downwind, and it was difficult for the other party to detect either the sound or the smell.
In particular, the sergeants have been shrunken and shrunk by the cold, and there is no way to talk about alertness. Unwary of thieves sneaking up behind.
I saw that these people were holding sharp daggers in their hands, and they were willing to touch these sergeants from behind, and the red light of the swords in their hands appeared, and one hand firmly covered the mouths and noses of those sergeants, and all the sergeants who were killed did not make a sound.
The one in the back was killed, and the one in front didn't even notice it. The thirty or so sergeants were assassinated in the blink of an eye. The remaining caretakers of the copper mine are working shifts in a house next to the copper mine, some sleeping and some playing cards in the cold of winter.
This is the man who immediately surrounded the house after assassinating the sergeant guarding the door. I only heard the sound of snoring inside like thunder, mixed with the sound of playing cards and shouting, it was the voice of the sergeants on shifts.
Among those responsible for assassination, there was a particularly neat flying body that jumped onto the roof. It was winter, and the house had a stove for heating, and smoke was billowing from the chimney.
I saw the man take out two pills from his arms, throw them down from the cigarette tube, and then pick up a few tiles and cover the cigarette tube tightly.
After a few moments, there was a violent coughing in the house, and the smoke coming out of the cracks in the chimney turned a miserable green.
I only heard the door suddenly open, and two people staggered out of it, already foaming at the mouth, and after falling to the ground, they only bounced on the ground a few times and then there was no movement, and the others didn't even have the strength to run out of the house.
It turned out that the person who made an appointment to the roof turned out to be a person from the rivers and lakes, and the pills that were put into the house just now were extremely poisonous, and the smoke in them had already become highly poisonous when they were burned by the stove in the house.
The sergeants in the room were slow to react, only two people who were close to the door barely managed to get out of the door, and the others were poisoned in the room in a very short time.
In the blink of an eye, more than 30 sergeants guarding the copper mine had been killed, but none of them found that the enemy was coming, which shows the vigor and brutality of these Xiliang sergeants.
There were dead bodies everywhere in just a moment, and Chu Liancheng saw that the defense of the copper mine had been completely attacked, so he immediately stood up and raised his right hand high. All the thieves got up from the grass and hurried towards the copper mine.
Although these sergeants did not have any vigilance and did not notice the enemy coming until they were killed, the snake and scorpion thieves in the copper mine were all experienced people who were observing the defense of the copper mine all the time.
The soldiers were killed, and the smoke in the house had changed color, and the thieves had already seen clearly, and some brave thieves had already come out of the tunnels of the copper mine, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from the narrow passage.
This situation spread from ten to hundred, and many thieves found that the escape route of the copper mine had been opened, and they all rushed out of the tunnel, trying to escape from the narrow passage.
But as soon as he arrived at the door, he found that there were hundreds of sergeants standing on top of the copper mine, and they were all elites with sharp eyes and strong figures. The thieves who were running in front immediately stopped, and those behind were still squeezing forward for some reason.
The narrow passage was congested, and there was a lot of shouting and shouting.
Chu Liancheng stood on the only way to escape, looking at the rabble below. Although these people have been in the alleyway for several days, they are shivering and hungry.
But the fierce look on his face can still be seen clearly, these people are all outlaws at first glance, if they are used as cannon fodder when attacking the barracks, it is no more suitable.
I saw Chu Liancheng slowly take out a piece of yellow cloth from his arms and wrap it on his head, and the other thieves also followed suit when they saw it, and for a while, hundreds of people had yellow cloth on their heads.
Chu Liancheng said loudly to the thieves below. "I am under the command of General Tiangong, the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, and the age is good in the world. Today, we are all meritorious men who have opened up the territory and overthrown the imperial court, and when we saw that you people were fighting against the imperial court, we reached out to help. ”
"We are going to attack the sweet water shop soon, if you respond to the Tiangong general, then follow me to attack the sweet water shop garrison, if you don't have the courage to wait, it is useless for such cowards to stay here, then it is better to retreat into the alley and suffer from cold and starvation." ”
When the snake and scorpion thieves below heard this, they all shouted loudly, and one by one they wanted to go with Chu Liancheng to attack the garrison. The reason why these people are imprisoned here is that the garrison of Sweet Water Shop also contributed, and they hated those garrisons to the core.
Now that I heard that there was a chance to escape, and I could even follow General Tiangong to wreak havoc everywhere, how could I let go of such an opportunity, and immediately showed my loyalty one by one.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of these people, Chu Liancheng showed an imperceptible sneer on his face, and with a wave of his hand, the Xiliang soldiers guarding the door moved out of the way.
The thieves on the snake and scorpion mountain swarmed out, and when they came up, they found that they were in the encirclement of the soldiers brought by Chu Liancheng. By this time the poisonous smoke in the house had subsided, and the thieves had taken the dead sergeants' knives and guns and stripped them of their clothes.
The remaining thieves found the place where the tools were stored on the copper mine, and took tools such as shovels and pickaxes and distributed them to the people. The rest of the people who really didn't have weapons found some thick wooden sticks to support the roadway, and for a time the hundreds of people were armed.
These hundreds of people were already hungry and cold because they couldn't eat, Chu Liancheng asked his subordinates to take out their military rations and distribute them to these thieves, and these thieves were moved to tears one by one, saying that they must swear allegiance to the death.
Seeing that these thieves already had strength, Chu Liancheng did not dare to delay the military situation, and immediately led the thousand people under his command to kill the Tianshuipu military camp.
The copper mine was less than thirty miles away from the Tianshuipu barracks, and these people had already arrived in more than an hour. The target of more than 1,000 people is too big, and it is already very conspicuous in the distance.
In the Tianshuipu barracks, it is not what it used to be, Wang Ying is now like a different person, and the inspection of various places is also extremely strict, so the sergeants who are in charge of the lookout on the earthen wall have to take responsibility.
Seeing from afar that the dust was rising, and thousands of people were hurrying in his direction, he knew that something was wrong, and immediately came down from the earthen wall, found the barracks, found Wang Ying, and reported the situation.
Wang Ying knew that it was not good when he heard it, and the sergeant who lived there reported said that it was yellow from a distance, and this was not the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The Yellow Turban Rebellion arose in various places, and the Ministry of War had already sent people to remind us that we must strengthen vigilance and prevent civil unrest that may break out at any time.
Now he heard that thousands of people were marching in his direction, and he knew that the Yellow Turban Rebellion had finally broken out. The sergeants were immediately ordered to blow the horn of assembly, and all the barracks, young and old, regardless of their health, went up to the earthen wall to meet the enemy.
Then all the jar was brought to the earthen wall, and the drawbridge was hung high. Now Wang Ying secretly rejoices that she has not been idle in the past two days, and has rebuilt the earthen wall and the ditch, and the ditch has been widened by nearly a zhang.
The sharp wooden spears in the trench were also rearranged just yesterday, but according to the report, there were thousands of enemies, and there were only 500 old and weak soldiers on his side, so I don't know if they can hold it.
The only comfort is that his mother-in-law is also in the barracks, which is one of his right-hand men, and today the husband and wife are working together for the first time in their lives.
Let your mother-in-law see how this bantam got its name today.
Maybe this battle is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself.
