Chapter 944 Ambush
Not only did Dong Mu lead his men to open the city gate, but the other centurions who were plotting an uprising also set fires everywhere in the city, especially near the garrison barracks where the flames shot into the sky.
The important areas where grain was collected and the armories were the primary targets of attack. The yellow shirt troops who entered the city, led by the internal officers, attacked these key places.
The Yellow Shirts are also human beings. They also need food and sophisticated weapons to fight, so wherever they go, granaries are a top priority.
"call out!"
A loud arrow shot straight into the sky, and the yellow-shirted troops hiding in the darkness outside the city swarmed towards the city gate.
The elite rebels who entered the city first have firmly secured the city gates, and large numbers of yellow-shirted troops are marching deep into Changcheng.
The officers and soldiers were confused at first, but soon groups of soldiers poured out of the barracks and fought with the yellow-shirted troops entering the city.
"Kill!"
"Dang Dang Dang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The cry of killing filled the whole city, and most of the people who didn't know what was going on were shivering and hiding in their homes. Only a few brave people dared to come out and take a look. Some even picked up farm tools and fought alongside the yellow shirts.
During the period when the army was stationed in Changcheng, it could be said that it was very disturbing to the people. These people had long been unable to tolerate the disturbance and were filled with resentment.
Zhuang Qing hurriedly walked to Dong Mu's side, cupped his hands and said: "General, you have really made an unparalleled contribution. Zhuang must ask the king for a reward!"
"Ha ha!"
Dong Mu laughed boldly, weighed the sword in his hand and said, "Mr. Zhuang, please stay here while I go catch the Master!"
"Okay! I'll wait for Brother Dong's good news!" Zhuang Qing smiled and cupped his hands.
As long as Yuwen Chenghua is captured, the Yellow Shirt Army will achieve a historic victory and even capture the entire Jiangnan Road in one fell swoop.
This is the ultimate goal of tonight!
Dong Mu, who is most familiar with the city's environment, is the best candidate to capture Yuwen Chenghua alive. Likewise, Dong Mu also hopes to rely on this achievement to become a popular figure in front of Chen Tiansheng.
In the Changcheng city illuminated by the fire, several groups of soldiers rushed towards the Changcheng camp at the same time.
Most of these people were internal agents instigated by Zhuang Qing in the city, as well as some elite members of the Yellow Shirt Army. As for the large Yellow Shirt Army, their primary task was to suppress the official army.
It didn't take long for Dong Mu to appear at the gate of the camp with a knife and others. This was a house with a very large area. It was originally the residence of the Jiuchang Road Economic Envoy, so the walls were built quite high.
"Bang bang bang!"
The soldiers who had arrived earlier were already banging against the door. The door, which was made of wood and wrapped in iron, was shaking constantly. The faces of these rebels were filled with resentment, hating why the officials had captured them to fight.
So now they want to kill this biggest official.
Dong Mu was also smart and shouted: "Don't bang on the door stupidly, find a ladder!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Amidst the knocking on the door one after another, the camp did not respond at all, as if there was no one in the house.
A bit weird.
"Here comes the ladder, here comes the ladder!"
"Quick, get on, get on!"
"Fuck them all!"
A group of soldiers excitedly set up ladders and climbed up the wall in a few steps. But before Dong Mu could smile, several sharp arrows pierced their chests.
"Damn, I turned out to be prepared." Dong Mu's face turned gloomy.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Crunch~"
Just as the soldiers banged against the gate of the camp, it suddenly opened by itself.
The soldiers blocking the door were stunned because there were countless pitch black arrows pointing at them inside the door.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired.
"Ahhhh~"
The soldiers surrounding the door were either dead or injured, and some were directly shot into a hornet's nest. Those who were lucky enough to escape had panic in their eyes.
"kill!"
Tremendous shouts of killing could be heard from inside the mansion, and then dense numbers of soldiers with guns rushed out and pounced on the soldiers who were besieging the camp.
Dong Mu was stunned. He was not prepared for this. He had obviously been waiting for them for a long time.
He had inquired secretly before and visited the camp. Usually there were only a few hundred guards guarding the camp. The soldiers and horses he brought over would definitely be more than enough to capture the camp, but now thousands of people have poured out, and they are still coming.
People kept coming out of it.
"Damn it, I'll fight you!" Dong Mu didn't think much and rushed forward with a knife.
"laugh!"
Dong Mu cut down an officer and soldier with a powerful and heavy knife, then raised his thigh and kicked him over, and then stabbed him again in the chest.
Although he was only a centurion, Dong Mu still had a few tricks up his sleeve.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The soldiers from both sides soon fought together. The group of soldiers who rushed out of the camp were all dead soldiers of the Yuwen family transferred from Longxi, and their fighting power was extremely strong.
And what made Dong Mu most desperate happened, large groups of cavalry quickly appeared on both sides of the street, and nearly a thousand rebels completely surrounded the street.
Yu Wenke drove straight towards Dong Mu with one horse and one spear. The speed of the spear tip was very fast.
"when!"
"Hiss~"
Dong Mu narrowly dodged the fatal blow, but his right shoulder was still stabbed by the tip of the spear, causing a wound.
Yuwenke reined in his horse without hesitation, accelerated, sprinted, and fired again.
"Pfft~"
This time Dong Mu had no luck again, a shot hit him in the chest, blood spurted out, the war horse still stepped on his chest, and many ribs on his chest were broken.
"Puff! Puff~"
Dong Mu, who lay on the ground like mud, twitched a few times and then stopped moving. He never understood until his death why there were so many soldiers and horses hidden in the camp? It seemed that Yu Wen Chenghua had already planned their plan.
, but why did they allow the Yellow Shirts to enter the city?
All questions came to an end with Dong Mu's death.
The fighting around the camp ended quickly, and the officers and soldiers with a huge advantage in strength quickly killed them all. These peasant rebels, who originally expected to live a good life by opening the city gate, eventually fell in a pool of blood.
After the shouts of killing fell silent, Yuwen Chenghua, who was dressed in brocade clothes and soft armor, finally walked out of the house step by step. When he saw the corpses on the ground, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who was not used to fighting, frowned.
He frowned and covered his mouth and nose slightly.
"grown ups!"
Yu Wenke dismounted and clasped his fists and shouted: "The rebels have been cleared. Please get on your horse and we will escort you out of the city."
Although the battle at the gate of the camp was over, the shouts of killing in Changcheng were still deafening. For this battle, Chen Tiansheng's elite troops could be said to have come out in full force.
Yu Wen Chenghua took a leisurely look at the fire in the city and asked softly: "How did you go about the things I told you?"
"Please rest assured, sir. Several generals have led their own troops out of the city and are waiting for you to leave!"
"That's good, let's go!"
