Chapter 586: Fighting Four
There were a lot of cars and horses on the pier. After leaving a team of more than 20 people to maintain order at the pier, the rest borrowed cars and horses and rushed to the east gate of Quanzhou.
It was already the first watch, it was the end of the month, there was no moon in the sky, and the surrounding areas were pitch black. No one spoke, there were only the sounds of carriages and horses around, and the atmosphere was quite tense. Fang Zian remembered the first time he performed interleaving.
The situation during the mission was also a dark, moonless night. The troops were marching in the wilderness, and the atmosphere was equally tense. This gave Fang Zian a sense of illusion.
At a distance of twenty miles, the chariots and horses arrived in less than half an hour after a hurried march. They were not far from the gate of Quanzhou City. Everyone made some urgent disguises, and then the chariots and horses headed straight for the city gate.
Originally, Fang Zian's idea was to use Zheng Boping as a stepping stone and let him take him into the city. However, Zheng Boping already knew that he would die and adopted an uncooperative attitude. He was already shouting when he was escorted ashore, so he had to be tied up.
He stood up and blocked his mouth. Fang Zian didn't want to kill him at this moment. After all, holding important hostages might be useful at critical moments. Things in Quanzhou City may not necessarily go smoothly.
You don't necessarily need Zheng Boping's help to enter the city gate. Fang Zian's method is to pretend to be a convoy transporting goods to enter the city.
The convoy arrived at the city gate holding torches. Zhao Gang stepped forward and shouted at the city gate: "Please open the city gate, military master. We are a convoy transporting goods at the dock."
The defenders at the top of the city shouted: "Do you understand the rules? The city gate will not be opened after the first watch. Why did you arrive at this time?"
Zhao Gang was stunned and didn't know how to answer. He didn't expect others to have such rules.
"We are transporting goods from the Zheng family shipping company. Mr. Zheng will personally escort them. Please make it easier for us." Fang Zian shouted.
"Second master of the Zheng family?" The garrison at the top of the city hurriedly looked over to see. Under the light of torches, Zheng Boping, the second master of the Zheng family, sat in the carriage and poked his head out. His face was clearly visible, but his expression was a little strange.
"In that case, please wait a moment. Someone is coming, get off the suspension bridge and open the city gate." The leader of the city gate defenders said hurriedly.
The suspension bridge was lowered and the city gate was opened. A group of regiment-trained soldiers came out and stood on both sides of the city gate. A leader came quickly with a few soldiers. They wanted to salute Uncle Zheng. The second master of the Zheng family personally escorted the car.
He had stopped him just now, and there was no way he could come to explain. Moreover, this second master spent a lot of money and often gave rewards, so he might even be able to ask for a reward.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry that I didn't know you were escorting the car in person just now. Your Zheng family's motorcade naturally enters and exits the city gate at any time. As long as I'm on duty, it doesn't matter if it's after the first watch or even after the third watch in the middle of the night.
Brothers, we are here at any time." The leader came to the car, cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"..."
Zheng Boping, who was sitting in the car, showed no reaction or movement. This made the leader a little flustered.
"Is the second master really angry? It's all my fault for being blind. Second master, please don't be angry. I apologize to you. If you want to be beaten or punished, the second master has to say something." The leader said with great sincerity.
"Brother, the second master heard this and won't blame you. No, this is the money the second master rewarded you. Don't delay our entry into the city." Fang Zian sat on the shaft of the car and smiled. He stretched out his hand and threw out a silver ingot.
"Oh, okay, okay, thank you, thank you, hahaha, the second master has spent money. Please come in, please come into the city." On the other end
His eyes were overjoyed, and he secretly weighed the weight of the silver in his hands. He estimated that there were as many as five taels, and he was very happy. Sure enough, all the humiliation was not in vain.
"Get out of the way, let Mr. Zheng's horses and horses enter the city." The leader put the silver in his arms and shouted to the rear.
The soldiers near the city gate had already removed the wooden fence and other objects at the door. Zhao Gang whistled in front and drove the cart forward. Suddenly, Zheng Boping suddenly leaned out of the window and shouted:
"Ababa, Ababa..."
"What? Second Master, what did you say?" The leader turned his head and looked in surprise. He didn't hear clearly what Zheng Boping was saying.
"Abba, Ababa, Abba..." Zheng Boping's face was twisted, and his mouth was making strange sounds. Under the light of the torch, you could clearly see that his chin was twisted and drooling. His jawbone was obvious.
They were out of place. And the waving hands were tightly tied together.
"What's going on? What's wrong with Mr. Zheng? Who are you?" The leader shouted in shock, reaching out to touch the weapon at his waist.
Fang Zian cursed angrily, knowing that the matter was exposed. Because he didn't know the rules about not entering or leaving after the first update, his plan to pretend to be transporting goods into the city was blocked. Fang Zian was anxious and wisely wanted to use Zheng Boping's identity to enter the city. But Zheng Boping would definitely not cooperate.
He couldn't be warned, so Fang Zian removed the chin of Zheng Boping who was sitting in the carriage, so that he could go into the city with this face without worrying about him talking nonsense. Fang Zian originally thought that the other person was just watching from a distance.
Zheng Boping would be released when they arrived. This was indeed the case, but these guys had to come forward to talk. Previously, the soldiers in the car were controlling Zheng Boping, and Zheng Boping didn't struggle too much. But when the leader of the group training approached, this guy suddenly stuck his head out
The body came to make a fuss, and now it was completely exposed.
"Kill people, enter the city!" Fang Zian cursed angrily, raised his body, and with a cold light flashing in his hand, slashed at the city guard leader. The city guard leader reacted quickly. Seeing Fang Zian's fierce approach, he stretched out his hand to pull at his side in desperation.
A regiment training soldier blocked him, and Fang Zian slashed the soldier in the face with a knife. He screamed and fell to the ground.
"Close the city gate, warn, there are enemies!" the leader of the city guard shouted as he rushed towards the city gate. A dozen soldiers at the city gate stayed for a moment, then immediately reacted and began to close the city gate. On top of the city
The defenders also blew warning bamboo whistles.
Fang Zian shouted an order: "Get in the car and rush in." At the same time, he quickly rushed towards the city gate, reached into his arms, took out a flying knife and shot it with his hand. The leader of the city guard was hit in the back.
In the middle, he fell to the ground and rolled and groaned. Fang Zian stepped over him, rushed onto the slowly rising suspension bridge, and slashed at the suspension bridge chain with his knife. Unfortunately, the steel knife in his hand was just an ordinary thing, and there were no sparks from the chop.
Can cut chains.
"I'll do it!" Lei Hu's huge body arrived. He turned the mace in his hand and smashed it against the corner of the suspension bridge chain. The chain was not broken, but when the two maces went down, the log connecting the chain to the suspension bridge was broken by him.
, there was a loud bang as the chain came loose. Lei Hu was overjoyed, and he followed the same example and smashed off the chain on the other side. The suspension bridge that had risen to half a person's height suddenly fell back, throwing up a cloud of smoke and dust. The convoy led by Zhao Gang from the rear was about to arrive.
"Sir, they are closing the city gate, stop them." Lei Hu shouted.
Fang Zian sneered, lit a thunderball and threw it into the doorway where there was only a narrow gap left. There was a bang and a puff of black smoke came from the gap.
A sound came out of the gap, and there was a sound of coughing and moaning in the doorway.
Lei Hu rushed forward and opened his hands, and the heavy city gate, which took several people to push, was pushed open again. In the city gate hole, six or seven people were lying in a mess, groaning loudly. In such a small area, they were hit by a thunderball.
If it's bombed, even if you don't die, you'll still be injured in many places, and they'll be the ones to bear it.
"Charge!" Fang Zizong climbed onto Zhao Gang's cart. Zhao Gang whipped his horse, and the cart rumbled over several soldiers on the ground and rushed into the city. The defenders at the top of the city shouted and shot arrows down.
But a dozen or so large vehicles quickly rushed into the city, without interfering with them at all, and rushed directly into the lights of the long street in the city.
"Hurry, go and report to the training envoy Liu Tuan. It's terrible. The enemy has entered the city. Many people have died." The soldiers at the top of the city were shocked and went down to the city to check the dead and wounded, and then went to report to the police.
More than a dozen carts were running wildly through the market. It was just over half of the first watch, and the streets were still lively. The market was bustling with people. Zhao Gang stood on the car seat, holding the reins and beating the horses, shouting loudly, asking everyone to get out of the way.
In fact, there was no need for him to speak. The common people looked at the group of carriages and horses rushing towards them and had already avoided them. It was not until a group of carriages and horses passed by that they started to ask in shock what was going on.
The goal of Fang Zian and others is the North Gate. According to the agreement, Feng Yiming's people should already be outside the North Gate. He must seize the North Gate as soon as possible and open the city gate to welcome them into the city to join them.
After burning incense, Fang Zian and others had rushed to the inner square of the north gate. Seeing a group of carriages and horses rushing towards the city, the city defenders shouted and asked questions. Fang Zian and others did not say much, and divided their troops into two groups, all the way to the tower.
, rushed all the way to the city gate, rushed to the city tower without saying a word, and took action. There were only dozens of soldiers and horses guarding the city. How could they be these more than a hundred fierce opponents? After a few were knocked down, the rest quickly surrendered.
.
After Fang Zian stood on the city tower and fired two red fireworks flares into the night sky, he nervously waited for the movement outside the city. Before it was tea time, horse hooves sounded like a shower outside the city gate, and a group of cavalry galloped over and arrived.
Outside the city gate.
"Is it Brother Feng?" Fang Zian shouted.
"Brother Zian, we have been waiting for a long time." Feng Yiming shouted loudly on his horse.
Fang Zian laughed loudly and ordered the suspension bridge to be lowered to open the city gate. Feng Yiming led eight hundred cavalry and galloped in. In the square inside the city gate, everyone gathered together. After saying a few words, the whole team turned back and headed east.
Came from the Zheng family's residence on Mentumen Street.
When Fang Zian and Feng Yiming joined forces and marched to Dongcheng, the city was also in chaos. The Dongcheng defenders had already reported the news to the new regiment training envoy Liu Zhengqi and the Quanzhou government office. Liu Zhengqi was born in the army and was quite capable.
Upon receiving the news, hundreds of regiment training soldiers and horses were gathered in a very short period of time. Together with the three hundred government officials organized by Zhao Renmei, a total of eight or nine hundred soldiers and horses were quickly responded to the news.
Coming to Beicheng, they also rushed to Beicheng. Not long after Fang Zian and Feng Yiming led their troops out of the North Gate Square, they were blocked by Liu Zhengqi and others on the side street.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the city? Why don't you dismount and surrender?" Liu Zhengqi shouted loudly while riding on his horse.
"Kill him!" Feng Yiming said.
Chapter completed!
