Chapter 112: Handan Uprising (1)
Handan City.
The noise of the past had long since disappeared, and the people hid in their rooms in fear, looking at the soldiers patrolling the streets with trepidation.
These soldiers were all wearing blue-gray homespun uniforms, which looked different from those domineering catchers, and had a sense of high morale and refreshment.
Many older people vaguely remember this scene, and it seems that there was this scene twenty years ago.
Despite this, they were frightened and hid in their rooms, not daring to show up.
And in the south of the city.
Rows of soldiers had already surrounded the government in the distance, waiting for the final order.
"Who are you, and why do you gather a crowd to rebel?"
From within the palace, a civil official walked out tremblingly and shouted at everyone.
There was a commotion in the crowd, but they opened their mouths and scolded.
"If it weren't for your rampant conquest, why would we be like this?
"My wife and children have been taken captive by the Tartars, and I don't see you coming forward?
"In my opinion, we don't have to wait for the master's orders. Just scrap these guys!"
“......”
They were originally ordinary people here, but because they had been persecuted by the Mongols, they were angry and directly captured Handan and surrounded the government.
The civil official was abused by everyone for a while, and he was also frightened, if it weren't for the support of the officials and the head catcher on his side, he was afraid that he would have been caught.
Hiding behind a group of officials, he forced his body to continue to argue: "Even so, you shouldn't rush into the government office. Why don't you retreat quickly, so as not to anger the Khan, and when the time comes, see how else can you and the others run rampant?"
"Haha!"
A chuckle suddenly stunned the civil official.
The soldiers parted, making way for them, but from a distance came two men.
The civil official looked stunned, then lowered his head and resigned himself: "It's you?"
He also recognized the two people in front of him, one of them was Mao Renfeng, the patriarch of the Mao clan in Jize Township, who had a huge power in his clan and occupied the entire continent.
And the other person is the remnant king of the Red Phoenix Army who they have pursued for many years, but has never been caught.
I didn't expect these two to appear here.
The corners of Mao Renfeng's mouth curled up and mocked: "That's right, of course it's us." Otherwise, do you think there will be someone else?"
"And when you were guilty in the past, did you ever think about today?"
Wang Shiyi looked at the other party coldly, full of disdain.
When the soldiers around saw the two of them coming, they were also very excited and shouted loudly.
"What nonsense to talk to these dogs! It's better to kill them now. ”
"That's right. It's a curse to keep these dogs. Kill them. ”
"Kill them!"
The shouts of everyone converged into a line, so that the people in front of the government were all frightened, and they could only hold the blades in their hands.
The Han official, who was surrounded by everyone, looked desperate, his whole body was paralyzed to the ground, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say anything.
Wang Shiyi couldn't help frowning, stared at those officials, and opened his mouth to complain: "You also know that this city has been taken by us. If you continue to resist, you will be tantamount to killing yourself. If you surrender here, maybe I'll take your life!"
After hearing this, the servants looked at each other, and they all saw the fear hidden in their hearts, and one of them made a "whoosh" and failed to hold the blade in his hand, causing the long knife to fall, and after the rest of the people heard it, they all trembled and followed, and threw away the weapons in their hands together.
As they stand, they have no ability to continue to resist.
"Good. It looks like you've made the right choice. ”
Wang Shixing saw it in his eyes, and the tense strings in his heart loosened.
It's the best to be able to take Handan without blood!
Glancing at the Han official who was paralyzed on the ground again, he showed a little disgust, waved his hand and ordered directly: "Escort this guy to me, and let it go after listening!"
Immediately, several people stepped forward together, ready to escort the guy in front of them.
The Han official suddenly panicked, and when he saw several people coming, the long knives they were holding in their hands were still stained with blood, and he was suddenly frightened and his soul was gone, and he hurriedly said, "Don't, don't kill me." ”
"Oh, until the last minute, you still want to save your life?" Wang Shixian chuckled, full of contempt.
Seeing that he was about to be captured, the Han official couldn't bear the fear in his heart, so he ran to Wang Shijian's feet, grabbed his feet directly and begged: "By the way, I can help you, as long as you spare me from dying, I can help you capture the granary and the armory!"
"Oh, so you can tell me?"
Although Wang Shiyi wanted to break free, after hearing this, he couldn't help but stop.
The reason why he attacked Handan City was not all to vent his anger, but more because there was food confiscated by the local government in this city, as well as an ordnance station that could make guns and artillery.
It's a pity that these two places have always been heavily guarded, although he occupied Handan, but he couldn't break through the granary and ordnance in a short time, so he could only lay down the government office first to see if he could start from here.
Now it seems that it works!
"That's right. I remember the terrain of the granary and the armory, and I know what to do to take the granary and the armory. The Han official nodded, lest the king break his word.
Wang Shixing replied: "Okay, I'll spare your life for the time being." Waving his hand to the soldier next to him, he commanded again: "Come, take care of this person." Remember, no one is allowed to hurt him, you know?"
The soldier replied, and then the Han official was also glad and told him what he knew.
After receiving the information, Wang Shijian stretched his eyebrows and complained: "So that's the case? ”
"Are you sure?" Mao Renfeng was a little apprehensive, suspecting that this matter was fake, after all, the Han official's avatar was too fast, and it was a little unreasonable to be fast.
Wang Shijian said fiercely: "That guy's parents, wife and children are all in our hands. If he dares to tell a lie, I will send his family to Hell for a reunion. This time, I don't think he'll be cheating either. Fu You said to Mao Renfeng: "Handan City, you are more familiar than me. When I lead my army to attack the granary, you should pay attention to the movement in the city, and you must restrain the soldiers under your command well, so as not to disturb the people. Got it?"
"Don't worry. I always keep this in mind. Mao Renfeng replied.
Wang Shixing put his mind at ease and advised: "Since this is the case, then I will come when I go." After all, the granary and the ordnance station are important military places, even if we have occupied Handan City, as long as the other party and the attacking Han army should cooperate with the outside world, they can still drive us out again. If I don't take these two places, I'm really a little uneasy. ”
Fearing that something would happen again, he personally led the army to the place where the ordnance was.
Located in the northern part of the city, the armory was built in a valley with steep mountain walls and a river running through it, completely separating it from the outside world, and it was precisely because of this steep terrain that it was carved out as an armory garrison.
When he came here, Wang Shiji looked at the terrain and was quite amazed.
If it weren't for the information of the Han official, if he wanted to capture this place, he was afraid that it would take at least half a month, and half a month was enough for a lot of things to happen.
Looking at the dense jungle in the distance, Wang Shijian complained: "According to the report of the Han official, there is a tunnel in this place, which was built to facilitate the retreat from it when the enemy is besieged. Now, it's a convenient passage for us to attack. ”
Outside of this, if they want to attack the armory, they will need to attack through the only gate that can enter the armory.
But there was a moat that led down from the mountains, and there were many fortifications built on the other side of the river, and the defenders inside could defend with the firearms inside, and if they insisted on attacking it, they would definitely lose their men.
If the soldiers lose too much, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the next attack of the Han army.
"Everybody, all silent, don't make any noise, you know?"
Telling everyone, Wang practiced his best to stabilize his heart, and he even felt that the sound of his heartbeat would attract the attention of the enemy.
At this time, there were bursts of artillery in the distance, which was the reason why his men had chosen to attack at this time in order to attract the enemy's attention. Only at this time can Wang Shixing take his subordinates to sneak into this cottage smoothly and take down all the defenders inside.
This mountain road is very narrow, less than five feet high, and the span is only two or three feet, which can only accommodate one person to bend down and crawl.
Wang Shijian took the lead and went directly into it, and the rest of the people saw that their own master also entered it, and they also followed behind and drilled into the tunnel together.
After crawling for about half an hour, Wang Shijian saw the hazy pus in the distance, and after climbing quickly for a while, he suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was in a secret room.
Obviously, this is the entrance to this tunnel!
Looking at the surrounding situation carefully, Wang Shiyi was curious, and secretly thought: "I didn't expect this tunnel to be here?
Over the years, the Red Phoenix Army and the Mongols have been fighting endlessly, until last year, when they finally launched a full-scale confrontation on the Yanyan Road.
Although they were far away from Handan City, they were also a little scared after hearing about it, so they built a tunnel here, which is also reasonable.
At this moment, the door of the secret room in the distance "creaked" and was slowly pushed open, and a person looked hurried, ready to step into it
Wang Shijian's brows furrowed slightly, and after sweeping the man's face, he suddenly laughed.
He also recognized this person as the defender of this place.
"Juan, see you for a long time!"
This opening suddenly stunned Juan, who stepped into this place from afar.
After he saw Wang Shijian's appearance, he suddenly felt desperate: "Why are you?"
