Suddenly, Xu Pengju glanced at him, frowned, a look of doubt flashed in his eyes, and shouted to the people in front of him in a deep voice: "You guys, stop here!"
I saw several figures walking together on the long street in front of me. This was fine. Normally, Xu Pengju wouldn't even take a second look.
But at this time and place, it is unlikely that so many people would appear on the long street all at once. You must know that he has been patrolling for nearly a day, and there are not many people who know better than him what is going on in the city.
Under the order of his Dinghai Shenzhen, the entire long street of Nanjing suddenly became much deserted, and very few people could be seen on the street.
Ordinarily, at this time, everyone should return home early and stay behind closed doors.
However, many people appeared in front of them. These people walked together in twos and threes and walked slowly. This had to make Xu Pengju suspicious.
Xu Pengju only heard a shout. Several people across from him were stunned for a moment, and then heard one of them shout loudly: "Brothers, fight these dog officials!"
"Kill the traitor and welcome the wise king. Kill the traitor and welcome the wise king!"
Suddenly, those people walking in twos and threes not far away rushed towards Xu Pengju and others.
Xu Pengju's team of patrolling soldiers totaled only dozens of people, which seemed to be a lot of people. If it was used to scare the people, dozens of people were enough.
The key point is that those who are coming to meet us now are not ordinary people, but servants and guardians gathered together by more than a dozen families in the city.
To a certain extent, these people can almost be used as dead soldiers, so when these people fight hard, they are even more fierce than the patrol soldiers led by Xu Pengju.
Fortunately, more than a dozen of Xu Pengju's patrol soldiers were servants of the Duke of Wei. Naturally, these servants were the sons of the Duke of Wei. They grew up in the Duke of Wei and were taught by the Duke of Wei. Now they are seeing these things.
The rebels rushed towards Xu Pengju and rushed forward almost immediately to protect Xu Peng behind them.
"Young Master, leave quickly!"
Xu Pengju glanced at the nearly a hundred rebel spies who had gathered in the blink of an eye and couldn't help but frowned. Especially when there were so many rebel spies swarming around him, Xu Pengju realized that King Ning's spies in the city had begun to take action.
At this moment, the sound of killing suddenly came from outside the city.
Xu Pengju immediately realized that King Ning actually chose to attack the city at this time. It was obvious that the rebels in the city should act at this time to welcome King Ning's army into the city.
Xu Pengju took a deep breath, and neatly killed a rebel soldier who was rushing forward. Then he jumped into the back and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone, fight and retreat, don't let them get close to the city gate..."
"
"Kill, break the city gate, and welcome Prince Ning into the city..."
There were shouts of killing from all around, and when Xu Pengjun looked around, he saw a dark mass of people and horses suddenly appearing from every corner.
These people's clothes were ordinary and varied. At first glance, they looked no different from ordinary people. To be honest, they had red strips of cloth tied around their arms.
Xu Pengju's expression changed drastically when he saw thousands of rebels approaching. He almost immediately called on his subordinates to fight and retreat, and soon retreated to the city gate.
The city gate was originally a heavily defended place arranged by Xu Yan. There were thousands of troops stationed at the city gate alone. Although I cannot say that it is impregnable, it can at least ensure that the city gate will not fall into the hands of others.
At this moment, Xu Pengju and the guerrilla general Jiaco who guarded the city gate gathered together.
Jia Ke had a close relationship with the Xu family, and could be said to be one of the personnel deployed by the Xu family in the army. Therefore, Jia Ke could not have more respect for Xu Pengju, a next-generation Duke of Wei.
Jia Ke looked Xu Pengju up and down and said: "It's good that the young master is not injured, otherwise the general will really not know how to explain to the old master."
Xu Peng waved his hand and said to Jia Ke: "Jia Ke, quickly find a way to stop these rebels. Otherwise, once they are allowed to approach the city gate, the city gate may not be able to be defended."
Behind Jia Ke, Xu Pengju and the others was a deep city gate hole, and they saw a rumbling sound coming from the extremely thick city gate covered with copper skin.
Just by listening to the rhythmic sound, I knew that the rebels must have reached the city gate and were attacking the city gate with siege engines.
It's a pity that the city gate is too strong. The extremely heavy wooden gate, after being covered with copper skin, is almost comparable to a stone gate.
Jia Ke took a deep breath and said: "Young Master, just stay here and wait till the end to kill these rebels."
Anyway, the city gate behind him was unlikely to be breached for a while, so Giaco's attention naturally shifted to the servants and guards sent by more than a dozen families.
With just one glance, Jako could see the strengths and weaknesses of these rebel agents.
If you really want to say it, there are many advantages. These people are all strong and strong, and you can tell at a glance that their daily diet must not be too bad.
Another point is that each of these people is not bad in martial arts, at least much stronger than most soldiers.
But there are advantages, but there are not many disadvantages. The biggest point is that these people have no concept of cooperation at all. It can be said that all of them are good at fighting alone. As for letting them join forces, they will also cooperate.
Don't go together.
Jako grinned, put on his armor, and roared: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the thieves!"
With a puff, Jiaco's voice stopped abruptly. He looked back behind him in disbelief and saw his deputy looking at him with a cruel look on his face. A long knife was inserted into his vest.
Lieutenant General Huang Ping shouted: "All officers and men, if you want to survive, come with me to open the city gate to welcome King Ning!"
Xu Pengju, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Suddenly, Huang Ping swung his knife towards Xu Pengju, and with a pop, blood spurted out. A servant stood in front of Xu Pengju, pushed Xu Pengju away and shouted: "Young Master, leave quickly!"
Xu Pengju came to his senses completely, gritted his teeth and turned around to leave.
Lieutenant General Huang Ping rebelled and killed the guerrilla general Jia Ke, which was beyond Xu Pengju's expectations.
In particular, many soldiers actually rebelled with Huang Ping, which made Xu Pengju realize that King Ning had many people in the city, and there were even people from King Ning in the army.
Xu Pengju was finally killed under the protection of more than a dozen family generals, and his figure disappeared into the night.
In the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, Xu Yan looked tired, and the shouts of killing could be vaguely heard outside the city.
There was a rush of footsteps, and Xu Yan suddenly opened his eyes. When he looked, he saw Xu Pengjun, covered in blood, hurriedly approaching.
Seeing the blood all over Xu Pengju, Xu Yan couldn't help being shocked and said: "Pengju, what are you..."
Xu Pengju looked at Xu Li and said: "Grandpa, something bad is going on. Huang Ping, the deputy general under Jia Ke, has been bribed by King Ning and has rebelled. Moreover, General Jia Ke has been killed. The North City Gate may not be safe!"
"What, the city gate has fallen!"
Xu Yan's face suddenly turned a little pale, but Xu Yan had experienced strong winds and waves after all, so he was just surprised and quickly reacted.
Xu Yan took a long breath and said: "Let's go!"
Soon, a group of people rushed out from the Duke of Wei's mansion to protect several carriages and headed straight for the south gate.
At the north city gate, after Huang Ping beheaded Jia Ke, he quickly killed some soldiers who were unwilling to submit, then opened the city gate, and then King Ning's army entered the city.
The dark force of Prince Ning's rebels poured into Nanjing like a torrent.
Suddenly, the entire silent city of Nanjing became excited. Many officials were stunned when they learned the news that the city gate had been breached.
They were very clear about the arrangements made by Xu Yan. It could be said that there were no obvious loopholes at all. Even if there were loopholes, they would not affect the overall situation.
However, it was only two days. King Ning attacked the city, and the city of Nanjing was defeated. This is really unbelievable. It came too fast. At least it could last for a few days before it fell. Everyone
He wouldn't be so surprised.
In the army camp outside the city, King Ning did not rest because of the siege in the evening. Instead, he sat there and waited for the news of the siege to come.
Soon Li Shishi and Liu Yangzheng came hand in hand. Just entering the camp, Bai Bai couldn't help but said happily: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, the city of Nanjing is destroyed!"
Prince Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then stood up suddenly and said in a tone full of surprise: "What, the city of Nanjing was actually destroyed!"
Liu Yangzheng and Li Shishi nodded in unison.
"Hahaha, if the city of Nanjing is destroyed, I can look forward to great achievements!"
While speaking, King Ning stood up and said: "Send orders for the army to follow me into the city!"
As the news of the city's destruction spread, many officials showed a bit of disappointment on their faces, while others looked surprised.
Nanjing Zhongguan garrison
Fan Heng squinted his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "It seems that Nanjing City is in ruins!"
As Fan Heng's confidant, Li Ying gained Fan Heng's trust and nodded: "Everything is as expected by the general manager. The Dong family in the city united with more than a dozen families, servants, and guards, and bribed the city gatekeeper and adjutant.
He directly killed the city gate defenders and caught them off guard. The north gate was opened, and the rebels poured into the city. Nanjing City fell!
Fan Heng smiled slightly and nodded slightly: "It will be good if the city is broken, it will be good if it is broken!"
While speaking, Fan Heng looked at Li Ying and said: "Everyone who should be arranged has been arranged!"
Li Ying nodded and said: "But don't worry, manager, the people arranged by this servant can all make great contributions, and the custody will be trusted by Prince Ning."
From the direction of the North City Gate, he said slowly: "It's time for us to leave. Our general manager doesn't accept the responsibility of the general manager!"
