Chapter 121: Entering the City

When a bowl of water was poured down, the man barely regained his ability to speak: "Go and help! There are too many pirates, there are so many......"

It took a long time for everyone to understand from his incoherent words that this person was a scout from Qingshui County. When they were first attacked, the four of them were sent to break through from different directions and ask for reinforcements.

He didn't know if others were successful or not, anyway, the direction he chose was full of pirates. Relying on his strong body and good martial arts foundation, he barely managed to fight his way out and escaped into the jungle. With his familiarity with the terrain, he was lucky enough to escape from the pursuit, but he was also injured a lot......

Two days later, he rushed to the barracks non-stop, and his blood was almost dry, but he didn't see Zhao Youde and Lord Zhao. The officers who stayed behind said that Lord Zhao had gone out to sea to fish, and that they had no right to mobilize troops without Lord Zhao's instructions. I don't dare to guarantee when I will be back, I just let him wait......

After half a day, he couldn't wait, so he explained that the situation was urgent, and asked Lord Zhao to immediately send troops to rescue him and then leave to ask for help.

But by the time he arrived at the Navy, Lord Zhou had already led the fleet out to sea to suppress the bandits. In desperation, he resolutely returned, because there were his friends and family. It's just that he didn't get close to Qingshui County when he encountered the patrol team of the Japanese Kou, and he could only continue to escape until he met them in the clouds.

Seeing his miserable appearance, the old man gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to take him down to rest and heal. Then he kicked off the little tree next to him: "Zhao Youde, this is the case, even if you sue the court, you will be brought to justice!"

It was rare for his soldiers to see the boss so angry, and they didn't dare to come forward to persuade him. The old man immediately ordered: "Set off immediately, all of us march in a hurry, and rush to Qingshui County!"

A day later, the team finally arrived at the outskirts of Qingshui County exhausted, and the hardships along the way were indescribable. At this time, it was getting late, and the smoke was already in the distance.

The old man ordered him to rest on the spot for an hour, and he took Yun Yun and others to investigate.

Climbing up the hill and hiding in the dense forest, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although Qingshui County was miserable, it did not fall, but it couldn't hold out for too long.

The beautiful town that used to be surrounded by mountains and rivers is now miserable, with its walls in tatters and gaps filled with arrows. Smoke was thick in the city, and it seemed that there was no manpower to put out the fire. From afar, there were people running around on the city walls, transporting weapons to rescue the wounded. And vaguely, most of them were wearing civilian clothing, and it seemed that the soldiers in the city had suffered serious losses and had to recruit civilians to go to the battlefield.

There were four or five thousand Japanese robbers in the black pressure outside the city, constantly shouting and tidying up the formation. Obviously, Qingshui County had just suffered a siege, but fortunately it barely resisted.

Lord Zhou frowned: "The situation does not look good, the Japanese are numerous and well prepared, and there are as many as forty or fifty artillery pieces in a row of open space. Qingshui County has few dwarves, and it has been besieged for so long, and it has long been sleepy and lacking, and it seems that it is difficult to withstand a few more impacts. Do you have any good ideas?"

The enemy was outnumbered, the situation was grim, and everyone had no idea for a while. Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the old man said to himself: "There are too many Japanese robbers, and there is long-range firepower. The terrain outside the city is flat, and it is not realistic for us to want to storm it. The plan now is to destroy the cannons of the Japanese and find a way to enter the city. By holding on to the city defense, I hope to hold on to the support of the army or the naval division. Now that most of the pirates were assembled outside the city, it was not too difficult to sneak up on their artillery positions. The difficult thing is how to get through to the city, we have to discuss it carefully. ”

So the people carefully retreated. When they returned to the place where the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division were lurking, the veterans gathered together to discuss ways to break the enemy. While everyone was at a loss, the scout cried out, "Maybe I have a way to get into the city." There was a dark river under the city of Qingshui County, and several wells in the city were dug through the dark river at that time. Once, a pig fell into a well and finally broke out of the moat, so I can be sure that the dark river is connected to the moat, and I probably know the location of the exit, but I don't know what the environment is like. But the pig that fell into the water at that time had more than 200 catties, and it should be no problem to pass alone!"

Oh, and the veteran's eyes lit up. Diving is not a big problem for the officers and men of the naval division, and the key is to have someone to explore the road and determine whether the specific location and passage are unblocked.

The sea dragon volunteered to investigate with her outstanding water nature, Zhang Hong was worried and wanted to go together, but the sea dragon was worried about her safety and resolutely disagreed. The two argued, and Yun stepped forward and said, "Sister Hong, I'll go with Brother Hailong, so I can take care of it." ”

Zhang Hong knows the means of the cloud, his mind is delicate and his martial arts are high, and he is more relieved to see that he is willing to go with him. So he repeatedly told the two to pay attention to safety, not to rush in, and to return immediately if the situation was unclear.

The two nodded in agreement, and it was late at night, so they sneaked over by moonlight. At this time, the Japanese were also very tired from attacking the city for days, but they only set aside manpower to watch the night, and most of them had already rested. And they didn't encounter anything that prevented them from going into the water at the farthest end of the moat.

The scout was supposed to go with him, but Yun saw that he was injured, and half of his life was gone after soaking in water, so he just asked for the approximate location and searched for it himself. It didn't take long for the two of them to find a big hole, and the direction of the water flow was indeed from the city, but the environment in the waterway was unknown, and the distance was not easy to grasp. So the two agreed that they would limit themselves to one stick of incense, and if they couldn't find the exit, they would retreat immediately, and they would sneak in.

As soon as I entered the waterway, I felt a chill, and the temperature of the groundwater was still very different from the outside. It was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see, so he could only grope his way forward, and the entire waterway was filled with water, there was nowhere to ventilate, and the terrain was very rugged, and in some places only one person could barely pass through.

After walking for about a stick of incense, there was still no sign of a way out, and the sea dragon couldn't hold on. No matter how good the water is, the time to hold his breath is limited, and if he can't find a way out, he is likely to be trapped inside, so he patted the clouds and signaled to retreat. Yun Yun didn't give up, pushed the sea dragon, motioned him to go first, and continued to grope forward.

Speaking of water kung fu, Yun and the sea dragon are a big difference, but few people can match him for simple breath-holding. At this time, the pores have been closed, and the body is in a self-circulating cycle driven by true qi, not to mention the time of a stick of incense, even if it stays for half an hour, it is not a big problem. It's just that this waterway is too difficult to navigate, and from time to time sharp rocks stick out, and if you are not careful, you will be injured.

It took another quarter of an hour for the clouds to feel a glimmer of light, and they took two quick steps out of the water. Overhead is the mouth of the well, and you can see the dark night sky and the stars in the sky. The wall of the well was slippery, and it really cost him a lot of effort to climb out. As soon as he appeared, a gust of evil wind came straight to the back of his head, and his body was still hanging in the air, so he had no choice but to stretch out his arm to block it.

With a snap, the thing that came was knocked away by him, and then he saw that it was a flat dan. I was secretly glad in my heart, thanks to a sharp weapon such as a sword, or even if he had deep internal strength, he was also flesh and blood, and he almost became a disabled person when he came to help, who did he reason with?

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay and rushed out, and a woman's scream came from his ears: "Someone! Rao is strong martial arts is also busy for a while, and finally had to jump to the roof to temporarily suppress the momentum of being besieged.

At this time, some soldiers had already heard the movement and rushed in with torches. By the light of the fire, he saw clearly that this was a small courtyard, and the besieged him was a group of aunts, seeing that the guy in his hand should be cooking, which almost made him suffer for no reason.

Seeing that the sergeant below had already pointed his bow and arrow at him, he quickly waved his hand to explain, and it took a long time for the congregation to reluctantly believe him, but they still gathered around with anxiety, saying that they would wait for the county chief to come before making a decision.
