Chapter 1344 Nanyang Wind and Rain - Leading the Way Party
At this time, the soldiers at the top of Semarang City were still unaware of the upcoming battle.
The rain was so heavy tonight that the veterans with some qualifications did not suffer on the city walls and returned to the military camp. The remaining soldiers on the city walls were the new recruits who had just been recruited last year or this year.
At this time, although these people still had to guard the city, most of them were full of arrogance and resentment towards their colleagues and superiors. 'Why can you veterans go back to the camp to sleep, and we have to risk this?
It's raining heavily, there's such a strong wind, and you're standing outside in clothes soaked by the rain!'; Because of this, they didn't take the orders given to them seriously to watch seriously, and no one was there.
Staying in an unprotected place, everyone hid in places that could protect them from the wind and rain: those with higher status and those with a little money in their families hid in the house, took off their soaked clothes and put on a new one.
Dry clothes and squeeze in with the people who rest in the houses at the top of the city at night; those with low status and poor families can only hide under the eaves or in the doorways. Tonight is the east wind as usual, hiding in
The people under the eaves of the West City are fine. They don't have to be exposed to the rain or the wind like the people inside. But the people hiding under the eaves of the East City can only endure the increasingly heavy thunderstorms and the whirring wind.
The east wind is blowing.
"What the hell, who the hell arranged for us to be on duty tonight, let me know, I have to chop him with a knife!" Under the eaves of the house in Dongcheng, a tall man wearing a bamboo hat and a shabby raincoat,
The man holding a spear in his hand cursed.
"Okay, you've been scolding me for a long time, please calm down for a while. It's useless no matter how much you scold me. If the general on night watch hears it, he will order you to be whipped thirty times." The other one was a little shorter.
The man was dressed like him, huddled in the corner, and got a large square table from somewhere to block the east side. He covered it with a cloak to protect himself from the rain, and said in a somewhat impatient voice.
.
"With such heavy rain tonight, how can the general go out on patrol? Unless the sun rises from the west tomorrow! I bet that the general who is on patrol at this time must be sleeping with a beautiful girl in his arms in a rich man's mansion in the city! He is next door to Mala
Yes, why can a general sleep with beautiful girls and not have to go out on heavy rainy days? Even if we go to prostitutes, we only have old and ugly women. We have to keep vigil at the top of the city in such weather!" the big man continued to shout.
.
"Because they are generals, and you are just a soldier. If you can become a general, you don't have to keep vigil, and you can sleep with pretty girls from any house you want. Even if you don't become a general, you can be a soldier."
He is an official, and even works as a thug for a wealthy family or as a guard for a temple, and he has money to pay for higher-end women."
The little man continued: "But I think you have no chance in this life. Your family has no money, your martial arts skills are not good, your body is not strong, and you are over 20 years old. The temple does not accept you, and you don't know how to flatter a horse. How many fights can you do?"
Become a veteran who will fight to the death or be disabled, and you will be lucky if you don't stay vigil at the top of the city on days like this."
"Don't talk about me, you are the same!" The big man said very unhappy after hearing this: "You and I are similar, except that you speak better than me, and at most you are just a veteran."
"Yeah, you and I are about the same." The little man's tone seemed a little low, but he immediately returned to normal: "So let's stop talking about these unnecessary things and get some rest. I'll give you half of the table.
Son, come over here and let’s squeeze in. It’ll be warmer if we squeeze together.”
Hearing this, the big man had nothing to refute, but he became even more excited and shouted loudly: "Damn it, we can't get ahead in the army! We might as well have people from the Ming Dynasty come over! People from the Ming Dynasty come over and fight,
He also needs to use local people to work for them, so I was the first to join him! I can also speak Chinese. A businessman from the Ming Dynasty once came to my hometown, and I worked for him as a helper for more than two years. I learned what I learned at that time.
."
"But I heard that the Chinese army is blocked to the west of Pekalongan and cannot get through. Your idea of surrendering to them cannot come true." The little man said again, his tone becoming impatient again: "You can't get through.
Come? If you don’t come, I’ll block the table."
"Go over!" The big man was thinking about what he would do when he became rich. Hearing his words, he said angrily, leaned his spear against the wall, and went over to squeeze in behind a table with him.
They talked for a while, and the little man gradually became sleepy. He readjusted his clothes to make sure there was no air leakage, and then leaned against the wall to sleep. But the big man was still whispering something to himself.
"Allah, please bless me to be reborn into a rich family or the son of a rich monk in my next life. I will pray to you sincerely and spend half of my wealth to build a statue for you..."
He muttered a few words like this, and he felt sleepy. He slowly closed his eyes and was about to go to sleep.
But just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the east. Because it was still raining heavily at this time, he couldn't hear exactly what the sound was, but it was undoubtedly coming from under the city wall.
"What's going on?" He murmured to himself again, and then turned to look at the other people taking shelter outside the house: the others were huddled in the corner, using something to protect themselves from the wind and rain, and no one moved.
Seeing everyone like this, the big man wanted to close his eyes and continue sleeping, but the sound was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help it. Just as he was about to lift up his cloak and take a look, he saw dozens of people turning over from outside the city.
Come in!
He was immediately startled! How did these people climb up such a dark sky, such heavy rain, such strong wind, and such a high wall?' he thought.
But then he thought of a more important question: 'Why did these people sneak over the city wall in the middle of the night? Could it be that they are Ming troops? But if the Ming troops were not still in Bamalan, how could they suddenly appear in Semarang City?';
Before the big man could come up with an idea, he saw those who climbed up the city and threw something at the bottom of the city. Then they all lowered their bodies, holding knives with their hands wrapped in cloth, and quietly attacked them who were hiding in the corner or hiding in the wall.
The people under the eaves came over. It was raining heavily at this time, and their movements were so light that not a trace of footsteps could be heard.
Those people walked into them quietly, as if they had clairvoyant eyes, and stabbed their throats accurately with the short knives in their hands. Those who were stabbed didn't even realize what happened, and they couldn't make a sound.
The soul returns to heaven.
Seeing this scene, the big man was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He wanted to scream, but suddenly remembered what he had just said, and thought that even if he shouted loudly and alerted others, his life would probably not be saved, so he gritted his teeth and did not scream.
Instead, when the Ming soldier who wanted to kill him walked up to him and raised his short sword, he said in Chinese: "General, spare my life! I am willing to lead the way for the Ming soldiers!"
"Can you speak Chinese?" The man was stunned.
"General, my great-grandfather was a Han Chinese. I have more than 10% Han blood. These Chinese words were taught to me by my great-grandfather. I have admired the Celestial Empire since I was a child and am willing to serve the Ming Dynasty." The big man talked nonsense in Chinese.
But the man in front of him seemed to believe what he said, or didn't care whether what he said was true or false. He said, "Since your ancestors are Han, you are allowed to serve the Ming Dynasty." He said and looked at the little man again.
.
"General, his ancestors are also Han. He has also admired the Celestial Empire since childhood and is willing to serve the Ming Dynasty." As he said, the big man stabbed the little man awake, and when he saw the Ming army holding a short knife, he subconsciously covered his voice and wanted to shout.
His mouth said in his ear: "This is the Great Tomorrow Soldier. Haven't we always said that we will serve for the Great Tomorrow Soldier? Now is the time to serve."
The little man quickly calmed down and said in the only Chinese he learned from the big man, which he spoke very poorly: "I have met you, sir."
At this time, all the Majapahits on duty outside the houses on the city had been dealt with except for the two of them. Another man quietly came over and said to the man in front of them: "Why don't you kill these two people?"
"They can speak Chinese and said they are willing to serve for the Heavenly Soldiers. I think they can be used to serve His Highness."
The person who just came over glanced at the two of them and said, "That's all. Since you are willing to serve the heavenly soldiers, I will accept them when you are looking for people."
After the big man thanked him profusely, he asked: "Do you have a good way to kill all the people in these houses?"
The people outside the house have been dealt with, but the people inside have not yet been dealt with. Especially some houses still have lights on, so it is difficult to kill them all without alarming the city. Although it is raining so hard, if many people
Shouting loudly before death can still alert the city, not to mention blowing a whistle. Although the task given to him is only to deal with the people outside the house, he wants to make greater contributions.
The big man looked at the several rooms where the lights were still on, and gritted his teeth and said: "Several generals, let the villain pretend to want to go into the house to take shelter from the rain, opened the door and quarreled with them, the generals took advantage of the villain's power
When the door was opened, he suddenly rushed out and killed them all with a crossbow, making sure not to make too much noise."
"Okay," these two Ming soldiers actually had the same idea. They were very happy to hear that he agreed to do such a dangerous thing, with smiles on their faces. The man who looked more senior patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.
: "His Royal Highness, King Su, has always been rewarded for meritorious deeds. If you have made such a contribution, His Highness will definitely reward you heavily."
"Thank you, General, and thank you, His Royal Highness King Su for his thousand years." the big man said.
They immediately took action. Soon, with the assistance of the two of them, the vanguard of the Ming army ascended the city successfully killed all the Majapahit soldiers on the city wall without disturbing the city.
At this time, the second group of people who climbed to the city had also climbed to the top of the city. Zhu Gaoxu climbed over the arrow stack first and looked at the commander of the vanguard of the city. Before he could ask questions, the man said: "Your Highness, the man on the top of the city is full."
Boyi's soldiers have all been wiped out! The people in the city have not been alarmed."
"Okay! Bao Rongxing, you did a good job." Zhu Gaoxu praised him first, but then asked with some confusion: "How did you do it?"
"Your Highness, it is the credit of these two people." At this time, the man named Bao Rongxing was not greedy for credit. He pulled over the two Majapahit people who had taken refuge with them, the big man and the small man, and said, "Your Highness, the two of them
They were originally Majapahit soldiers stationed at the top of the city. After our army climbed onto the top of the city, they took the initiative to surrender. With their help, we were able to successfully kill everyone in the house without disturbing the city."
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him. His words sounded like nothing wrong, but they covered up the fact that their sneak attack was discovered and almost failed. However, Zhu Gaoxu would not say it at this time, but just looked at the two men, one tall and one short.
The Majapayi people said: "Gu Nai is His Royal Highness the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. The fiefdom is Sumatra Island west of Java Island. You should have heard of Gu."
"Gu Yi has always made clear distinctions between rewards and punishments. Those who should be rewarded will definitely be rewarded, and those who should be punished will definitely be punished. If you two take refuge in Gu and have made great achievements, Gu will definitely not treat you badly."
"Thank you, Your Highness, King Su!" The tall man saluted immediately and said, while the short man slowed down and said stiffly.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't care that the short man was slow, and asked again: "Do you two know how the soldiers in the city are arranged? Where is the command of the general who defends the city?" From the time they got the news to the present, the arrangement of the soldiers in the city is
Maybe there will be a change. At this time, they don't have time to find the person who secretly communicated with them. They can only ask the two people in front of them. After all, they have few people. If they can't completely control the city by dawn, they may not be able to capture it, or they may not be able to capture it.
We can't defend it, so we want to understand the defense situation in the city and try our best to speed up and reduce losses.
What did not disappoint him was that the tall man immediately said: "Your Highness, I don't know the arrangement of the soldiers in the entire city, but I know how the soldiers are arranged from the east city head to the center of the city. I also know how Palapa
"The command post of (the city guard general)." There were less than 3,000 people in the city at this time, and his unit guarded a quarter of the entire city, from the east end of the city to the center of the city; he was patrolling in the city yesterday
He had also been to Palapa's headquarters at that time, so he knew this.
"Good!" Zhu Gaoxu praised again: "Hurry up and lead the way and help our great soldiers capture this city. As long as we capture this city, I will definitely not treat you poorly, and I will definitely give you a heavy reward! I will give it to you.
You can enjoy endless wealth in your lifetime."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Actually, this tall man didn't fully understand what Zhu Gaoxu was talking about, but he knew that he was saying that he would reward him, so he immediately saluted and thanked him.
"Cheng'an, lead your troops and follow this man to attack the city!" Zhu Gaoxu ordered again.
Cheng'an immediately agreed. At this time, all the 952 people who were attacking the city had boarded the city. Cheng'an said a few words, and then he led all the soldiers to rush down the city and seize the city.
The tall man and the short man hurriedly followed. Cheng An asked, "What are your names?"
"General, the villain's name is Gacha, and his name is Roden." (To be continued)
