The south gate of Suzhou is called Panmen, or Panmen in ancient times. It has a long history and was built by Wu Zixu, a famous official in the Spring and Autumn Period.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Helu of Wu ordered Wu Zixu to build the capital of Wu State. Panmen was one of the eight gates of Wu capital. Because there was a wooden dragon hanging on the gate to show the deterrence of King Goujian of Yue, and because it was "half water and land,
It gets its name from "buckling along the path".
The difference between Panmen and other city gates lies in these eight characters...Suzhou City is crisscrossed by waterways, and Panmen is an extremely rare ancient city gate with "two gates on land and water side by side".
In the eleventh year of the Zhizheng period, Zhang Shicheng built another Panmen gate and built an extremely strong "Wengcheng" outside Panmen. Coupled with the juxtaposition of the original Panmen's "water and land double gates", the Panmen became an achievement.
It is the most easily defended and difficult to attack gate in the entire Suzhou City.
"Then Zhu Su, even if you think about it, you will definitely not think that they will attack Panmen..." Zhang Li stood on the bow of the ship with his arms open, looking at the tall and majestic Panmen tower in front of him. That Panmen tower
His father, Zhang Shicheng, had built this gate many times and worked hard to manage it. If he guarded this gate, one man would be able to guard it, and no one could open it.
Its sturdiness is well known in Suzhou city.
If a group of people had not suddenly entered the city from there, the soldiers and people in the city would have been shocked and confused, and would have been in chaos without fighting...
With God's help, at the east noon of the bright moon, the sky, which was already full of rain, actually started to drift with mist. This was a big surprise to Zhang Li. With the fog covering the area, the traces of the army's movement would surely be better hidden.
It was not noticed by the city. The always superstitious Oida clan even danced with joy, thinking that this was the intention of Amaterasu to inflict "Heavenly Punishment" on Suzhou City.
As a result, Zhang Li and Ojingda followed the original plan and left more than a hundred Japanese soldiers in the village as suspects. The rest took advantage of the fog to retreat to a river mouth. They were picked up by the river.
The incoming Guanzhou fleet was waiting in full formation, and as soon as the night got dark, they took them to Panmen Water Gate...
That would defeat Zhang Li's plan: use Yang Lu to open the Panmen Water Gate, then attack the city along the river and seize the city!
"Zhu Su is good at using tricks. Second Young Master, it's safe to wait and see..." Ma Fengsun stood next to Zhang Li, looking at the dark panned door in the distance, but there was always something in his heart.
A strange feeling. That night, when I encountered an ambush in front of Pishi Street, I seemed to have vaguely felt that way.
"As it turns out, Second Young Master, you are the hope of the Zhang family. If you stay here, Prince Cheng will be considered dead."
Zhang Li curled his lips and felt that it was so noisy. He said impatiently: "Uncle Ma was so frightened by that kid Zhu Su that the wind and cranes roared, and the grass and trees were all soldiers."
"If Yang Lu is the commander of the Suzhou Guards, how many soldiers would Zhu Su have without his help?"
"What's more, if the eldest brother is already lost in the city, if they miss that opportunity again, without the city as a foundation, when will they be able to accomplish great things? What's more, if they can't break the city, without the gold and silver treasures in the city as a foundation,
Servant, how can he explain to Oita-kun?"
"Hai Zairuo would have been wiped out by the Japanese pirates in the Zhang family if he didn't have the support of those Japanese pirates in a few months. Can't Uncle Ma figure out his way out when he has to retreat?"
Ma Fengsun was speechless for a moment. He also understood what Zhang Li said. Raising troops in the east would not be a desperate fight.
The soldiers have been drifting on the sea for many years, and they are already exhausted physically and mentally. If they wait to go east, they are afraid that in a few years, those soldiers and generals who stayed in the east will be completely reduced to a group of bandits in the sea. What's more, that one
This is a good opportunity to train the rosewood servants. If they go east again, Zhu Ming will become stronger and stronger, and they will have less and less chance.
But according to Ru Ming's situation, a frontal attack is obviously useless. Then tomorrow night will not be the initial breakthrough.
"That's all." Ma Fengsun gritted his teeth. "Is it true what the second young master said? To be on the safe side, when you enter the city gate later, please let me lead people and those Japanese to enter the city first."
"The second young master will be waiting outside the city. If nothing happens to me, it will not be too late for the second young master to enter the city gate again."
"If something happens to me..."
"...but." Zhang Li thought for a while and nodded. It would be a good thing to be more cautious. He was shot by Zhu Su with a powerful crossbow in the east of the city that month, and he had already deeply understood that a gentleman cannot stand on the east side of a dangerous wall.
It makes sense.
When Ma Fengsun saw Zhang Li, he said a word of praise, wronging his own initiative to find a way for him to die, but he did not have any words of praise or retention. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: From this point of view, Zhu Chongba was not born.
The son is far better than the son born to King Cheng. In terms of age, Zhu Su's son is much younger than the eldest son and the second son, but he is wise and decisive, decisive in killing, talking and laughing, suppressing merchants and providing disaster relief
People, set up ambushes, suppress people's hearts...
Would such a person really fall for that time when he and the second young master "made a fuss in the east and attacked in the west"?
That's all... Ma Fengsun thought to himself. If he really falls into this trap, then he should use my big six-yang head to thank King Cheng for his kindness in the past month...
Over there, Ma Fengsun had secretly harbored his own ambition to die. Over there, the Panmen Gate Tower was getting closer and closer to their fleet. Seeing that they were entering the city, they were out of the range of the crossbow equipment.
.
When the ship arrived, Ma Fengsun, Zhang Li and the rest of the Zhang family's remaining soldiers couldn't help but become nervous.
This was the first question they wanted to face: whether they could really hide from others and quietly reach the east of Suzhou City!
All the soldiers, generals and Japanese people had received their orders early, and they all lay down in the boat, holding their breath and concentrating. Zhang Li even clenched his fists: at this time, the people to his east were basically undefended.
.The boats were lined up in a line in the river, and it was not easy to turn them around.
If there had been a shower of arrows or even a rocket at this time, it would have caused chaos and made it difficult for the fleet traveling along the narrow river to see each other, thus turning the city into an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
A living target in the east of the crossbow equipment.
What Zhang Li was even more concerned about was that the Oideda clan refused to accept the guest troops he invited and was unwilling to take too many risks. Therefore, the direct troops under his command were the first to move in front to clear the way for the Japanese in Oideda.
.If the city is not really on the alert, those who have worked so hard to save their wealth will become a scapegoat to delay the Japanese people, and thus bear unimaginable losses alone.
Fortunately, after more than half of the boats had entered the city, there was still no sound from the city. Zhang Li looked happy, turned around and said to Feng Sun, "Uncle Ma, it seems that you are indeed against me."
Worry too much."
"The city wall doesn't even have a torch. It must be that Yang Lui and the others found an excuse to move away the soldiers patrolling the city wall as they said."
"When he recaptures this city, he'll be in trouble!"
