The night tonight is different from the past, it is a bit more desolate and silent. At the gate of Jiangyin City, a large number of businessmen have gathered, and they are all as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Once the city gate was closed, if they stayed one more day, they would lose one more day's money. A few brave ones approached the guards and tried to intercede to let them out, but they were shot back. The rest of the people were shot back.
Seeing this, he was even more frightened and trembling, and he was just anxious.
The city gate was very busy, but the city was much quieter. Tian Zuyin sat at the table, looking at the telegram on the table, his brows suddenly wrinkled and then relaxed, seeming very distressed.
Two hours after the robbery, he received a telegram from the president, ordering him to dispatch troops to suppress the bandits.
But just when he received the telegram and was about to summon the army to set off, he received an urgent telegram from his immediate superior, Qi Xieyuan, with only four words on it.
Stand still!
This time Tian Zuyin was stumped, but what stumped him was not the question of whether to send troops, but the meaning of Qi Xieyuan's order.
Tian Zuyin leaned weakly on the chair, rubbed his aching forehead, and murmured: "What on earth does the commander want to do?"
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion in the night sky, and the flames soaring into the sky were particularly dazzling.
Tian Zuyin was not careful and almost fell off the chair. After gathering himself, he stood up and walked towards the window.
Lifting the curtains, Tian Zuyin saw the sky-high flames coming from the direction of the school grounds. The streets were full of curious people, looking around with puzzled faces and talking to their neighbors.
For a moment, it was as if the whole Jiangyin was awakened, and the hot tongues of fire licked the surroundings mercilessly.
Tian Zuyin grabbed the curtain with one hand, and veins appeared on the back of his hand, and anger was written all over his face.
"Report!"
A guard ran to the door and stood at attention. Tian Zuyin turned around with a gloomy face and said coldly: "What's going on?"
"The troops stationed in this afternoon suddenly launched an attack on our headquarters."
Tian Zuyin smiled half-heartedly, pinched his fingers and cracked them, and whispered to himself: "You acted first, but you can't blame me."
"Gather everyone together, I'm going to beat the dog tonight!" Tian Zuyin slammed his hand on the table.
Ever since the robbery incident, he has been under a lot of pressure. What's more, this afternoon, Li Si made him lose face in public. He was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to deal with them, but he didn't expect that they would bump into him.
Come up.
Tian Zuyin walked out of the room with a confident expression, mounted his horse, and headed straight for the school grounds with his guard squad.
The school ground is only half an hour away from Tian Zuyin's residence. By the time Tian Zuyin arrived, the fire had been brought under control, burning half of the house, and there were still a few scattered flames dancing on the blackened charcoal.
"Captain!" A thick black figure came out and stood at attention. Tian Zuyin rode on the horse and looked inside.
The entire school grounds had stabilized after the chaos just now. Hundreds of people were running back and forth, but no resistance or any signs of the Third Division troops were seen.
"Third platoon leader, what's going on? Where did the people go?" Tian Zuyin's face was gloomy. The third platoon leader was stunned for a moment, his eyes were evasive, and he said hesitantly: "No... I didn't see it."
"Didn't you see it? Did dozens of people disappear together?" Tian Zuyin raised the whip in his hand and was about to hit him, but stopped abruptly. "Seal all the openings in and out of the city and put the whole city under martial law! I want to
Not a fly can fly out!"
The third platoon leader looked at Tian Zuyin's raised whip and put it back. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned around to summon the troops and began to search Jiangyin City.
Under the night, groups of soldiers were running on the streets, and the sound of neat footsteps echoed in the night sky. Residents who had been watching the excitement closed their doors tightly, feeling uneasy and wondering whether bandits had broken into Jiangying City.
The sound of footsteps was still echoing, and a neat row of torches passed by the corner. The street that was just a little bright suddenly became dark again.
As the footsteps gradually faded away, a dozen or so figures lifted up the tattered straw mats covering their bodies and walked out cautiously.
"Now that the whole city is under martial law, do you have a way to get out?" Li Si thought that Zhao San would let him lead his troops to fight out, but unexpectedly, Zhao San found a pile of high explosives and buried them southeast of the school entrance.
On the corner.
The moment the explosive detonated, he immediately led his men and ran straight to the discovered gap. As soon as they left the school grounds, they broke up the troops and divided them into six groups. After agreeing on a gathering place and a code, they each sneaked into Jiangyin City.
.
However, as Tian Zuyin sealed the city gate and began to search the city, the scope of their activities began to become smaller and smaller.
The third group of people who just passed in front of them was already the third group. According to Zhao San's calculations, in another twenty minutes, their range of activities should be less than five kilometers in radius.
Time waits for no one, Zhao San ignored Li Si, but turned to a soldier behind him and asked: "Are you all ready?"
The soldier nodded and said, "They are all buried."
Zhao San nodded and looked around. It was close to the port, mostly warehouses, and there were no famous residences. Zhao San ordered the soldiers to plant a pile of explosives, hoping to repeat the same trick to attract Tian Zuyin's attention.
After all, on the surface, they and the Sixth Division were still friendly forces, and it was not time for them to quarrel with each other.
"Let's go!" Zhao San took a look at the night and walked out of the alley first, followed closely by Li Si. Within a few seconds, more than a dozen people had disappeared into the night.
Shortly after Zhao San and the others left, a huge explosion suddenly erupted from the alley behind them. The sound resounded through the sky, completely waking up the night.
People living near the explosion area felt their houses trembling like tremors. At the same time, explosions were heard at the four corners of the pier at the same time, and the firelight covered each other, illuminating the pier extremely transparently.
Under the illumination of the fire, dozens of people in military uniforms were rushing towards the pier. Tian Zuyin was pacing in his office when he suddenly heard a series of explosions coming from outside the window.
At the same time, a guard ran in and said breathlessly: "Captain, we have found their location."
"Okay!" Tian Zuyin felt that those explosions just now were because Zhao San and the others had run out of skills. He said with some pride on his face: "I want to see where you are going now!"
Zhao San led his men and horses to the foot of a hill not far from the river bank. After a while, three more teams of men and horses arrived one after another.
