The night is getting darker and darker, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier. The lights on the river bank are flashing in the distance. I don’t know what the rebel army is busy with. The noise of the rebel army can be faintly heard from the doorway. The situation in the thatched hut outside the city gate is like taking shelter from the rain.
Burning fire.
Kuang Ren knew that if there was always thunder and no rain on the other side, the rebels would be alerted, so he had limited time and had to rush to seize the city.
Just when I couldn't hold it any longer, I heard a few whistles faintly in the distance, mixed in with the sound of rain. Most people couldn't hear it at all, but it was Kuang Ren's code, so they replied
, not long after, dozens of black shadows were seen surrounding the hut, making the refugees inside tremble in fear.
"Don't you dare say anything." Yang Laoer raised the knife in his hand, which frightened the refugees into closing their eyes and nodding vigorously.
"Zhang Qing took ten brothers from the east city to climb over the wall and seal the gate. He will then go to the south city to seal the gate. Xu Erniu also brought ten brothers to lurk outside the north gate and wait for us to enter the city and open the gate." Yang Laoer said and glanced at the city gate.
: "Is this door closed?"
Kuang Ren nodded, and Yang Laoer couldn't help but cursed: "What should we do? It seems we can only wait for Zhang Qing and the others to fight out..."
"No need to bother." Kuang Ren emerged from the hut, reached out and pulled out the steel knife from under his raincoat, and said with a sneer: "Just go and call the door." He strode towards the city gate.
Calling the door? Yang Laoer and others were startled, but they had no time to do anything else and quickly drew their swords and followed.
In the heavy rain, fifty or sixty black figures slowly approached the west city gate, but the thieves in the gate were not alert at all. They drank when they should, gamble when they should, and chat when they should.
Bang bang bang, just then someone knocked on the door outside the city: "Wang Mazi, open the door so fast, I will kill you if you miss the general's business..."
"Who is it?" The thieves were mostly playing around and ignored the sound of banging on the door. The thieves closest to the door couldn't help but cursed, "What the fuck are you doing in the middle of the night?" They got up and raised the door bar, what the hell are you doing?
Who is the father who died crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf? Who are you calling Wang Mazi...
"Just call whoever has pockmarks on his face." Kuang Ren smashed the door outside with a loud bang, and his brothers also came up and kicked him together. They all yelled and cursed: "Can you hurry up? You're going to be wet to death..."
…”
"Hurry up!" The thieves took off the door latch and were about to open the door. Suddenly something occurred to them and they turned around and asked, "Hey, is there anyone named Wang here?"
"Is there any?" Most of the thieves were joking around, and someone responded casually: "But you have to ask clearly, it's not a scam..." Before he could finish his words, there was a bang and the city gate was violently pushed open.
, and then dozens of men in black rushed in without saying a word and raised their swords to chop. The thieves in the doorway had no precautions and more than ten people were immediately hacked to death. The remaining ones were frightened to death and tried to run into the city, but they did not escape.
Either they were overtaken and hacked to death, or they were shot to death by sharp arrows.
More than thirty thieves were all hacked to death in the doorway in less than half a cup of tea. No one of Kuang Ren's dozens of fierce soldiers was injured. Everyone sealed the city gate from the inside and then looked at each other while breathing heavily and smiling.
They actually came in like this. It seemed incredible, but in fact it was reasonable. Not to mention that these thieves did not expect the officers and soldiers to attack. Even the thieves' leader Wang Zhamao and his dog-headed military advisor Yan Xuming were also kept in the dark.
The officers and soldiers were still waiting by the river to snipe the landing.
Kuang Ren took advantage of their carelessness and called the door directly, making the thieves think it was one of his own people outside the city who was returning to the city. This was actually a kind of luck.
Fortunately they succeeded!
"Leave five brothers to guard here. Yang Lao Er, you take ten people to the city. As long as the rebels leave no one alive, the remaining brothers will follow me to the north gate." The situation was urgent and could not be delayed. Kuang Ren immediately assigned a task and saw someone in the doorway.
The two war horses got on their horses and rushed out of the rain, followed closely by dozens of warriors.
Yang Laoer led ten people directly to the city from the city gate. He found two sleeping bandits in the crenels. He slashed them with his sword. Just as he was about to go north, he saw two people running from the south.
He went up to kill him, only to find that it was Zhang Qing.
The two southeast doors were sealed, leaving five brothers with handles on each side... Where is Boss Kuang? Zhang Qing wiped the rain off his face and asked, breathing heavily.
"We're going to the north gate...you're quite fast." Yang Laoer held out his thumb, and Zhang Qing laughed: "Why are you so fast? We just climbed a wall without any resistance from the thieves. I thought you couldn't get in."
Come here and help me..." As he spoke, he looked up to the west direction outside the city, and could vaguely see the light of fire there: "Isn't it possible that Jin Shengheng has arrived too?"
Yang Laoer raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Who cares about them? Go to the north gate to support Boss Kuang."
However, when a few of them rushed to the north city, the city gate was already under the control of Kuang Ren. There were more than 20 corpses of thieves lying in the doorway. They never dreamed that when they were drinking and bragging, a sudden burst of arrows shot from the darkness.
In the entrance hole, there were many dead and injured in the blink of an eye. Then two riders rushed in and slashed with their swords. The remaining thieves hurriedly waited to resist, but found that the doorway had been blocked by dozens of black shadows, so they surrendered and were cut down in the blink of an eye.
died.
Many of them don’t even know how they died or by whose hands they died!
After Kuang Ren seized the door, he immediately opened the north door. Xu Erniu rushed in with more than ten soldiers and was startled when he saw the dead bodies on the ground: "It's over? There's nothing for us to do together."
"Stop talking nonsense and go to the county government office quickly. There may be rebels there. Once we are done with it, use fire as a signal." Kuang Ren said urgently and ordered Yang Laoer to set fire at the top of the city to send a message to the troops outside the city.
They thought it would be a fierce battle, but they captured the city so easily. Kuang Ren and the others were excited and proud. This may be the special forces combat mode that the little governor often referred to.
Wuhu is just a small town with a circumference of only two or three miles. At this time, it was windy and rainy, and most of the people were asleep. Many people did not know that the county seat had changed hands at this time. Although Kuang Ren did not know how many traitors there were in the city, he expected that the remaining
It's not much. As long as the city gate is sealed so that outside thieves can't get in, the dozens of brothers under his command can completely deal with the rotten fish and shrimps in the city.
"Guard the city gates. Zhang Qing, please lead a few brothers to patrol the city. If there are still thieves in the city, they will be ignored as long as they do not approach the city gates and take the initiative to attack." Kuang Ren ordered. Now he is eager for the reinforcements to arrive quickly so that he can really
A heart stone fell to the ground.
Then I put on my raincoat and climbed up to the top of the city. I looked around and saw that the lights were still burning on the river bank to the west. There was a faint flash of fire on the river bank in the northwest direction, which I visually estimated was ten miles away.
"The thief is such a big fool. He was manipulated by the little governor, and now he is so stupid that he is soaked in the rain by the river." Kuang Ren laughed loudly, and the previous tension, fear and other pressures disappeared.
Go, the pleasure of attacking and seizing the city through cunning tactics made him just want to yell and vent to his heart's content.
A subordinate next to the "boss" pulled Kuang Ren and pointed towards the city. He saw a fire in a courtyard in the east city. He knew that Xu Erniu had succeeded. He expected that although the county government office was occupied by the bandit leader, he was not in the city.
There won't be many manpower left.
"Before the reinforcements enter the city, don't be careless." Kuang Ren's face gradually became solemn: "As the saying goes, extreme happiness brings sorrow, we should be careful not to cause any trouble, in case there are still thieves in the city, the ambush will suddenly make a surprise attack on us." Everyone agreed.
For the sake of safety, Kuang Ren divided his dozens of brothers into four equal gates to guard them, waiting for the young eunuch to come over earlier.
