Luo Yangming immediately made arrangements and divided his troops into two groups. Wen Tietou led half of the men to pursue along the city root. He led the other half to go up the city wall and search along the city wall to the north gate. They used light signals to communicate with the upper and lower parts of the city. Since the enemy
Their ultimate goal was clear. They would eventually climb over the city wall. Instead of running under the city walls with a large group of people, it would be better to divide half of them up the city wall first. Luo Yangming judged that the enemy must have an internal response on the city wall. If there is an internal response, there must be traces.
Just as Wen Tietou was about to set off, Luo Yangming pulled him aside and whispered: "The people we are going to rescue this time are not naturalized civilian cadres, but elders..."
"What?!" This frightened Wen Tietou so much that he couldn't help shouting. He quickly lowered his voice when he saw Luo Yangming's eyes, "You mean... that... Chief Jie?!"
"it's him."
"How can this be……"
"It may not be possible. He has been captured." Luo Yangming said in a solemn tone, "You just need to remember that once you encounter the enemy, you must fight to the death to save the life of Elder Xie! If you save it, you will be rich and powerful!"
"I understand!" Wen Tietou nodded, "Don't worry!"
Song Ming and Jiang Suo held Xie Yiren hostage and ran away. Their route of action was well guessed by Wen Tietou, and they ran along the base of the city wall. According to the intelligence collected in advance, the Australians could only send people to patrol along the city wall at night.
It is not possible to closely monitor every section of the city wall. There are mostly deserted places under the city walls, and there are even graves and graves, and there are very few people living there. It is not easy to attract attention.
Xie Erren knew that after he was captured, he would have a lot to live in, and he felt regretful in his heart. However, he could not help himself, and was being dragged away in the dark, stumbling around, and being whipped with a stick from time to time to urge him to move quickly.
But he couldn't even cry out in pain.
After all, Xie Erren was the elder of the elders, and he had been doing literary work for a long time, so he was considered pampered. How could he withstand such a strong pull? Not to mention that there was something stuffed in his mouth, and he gradually began to feel short of breath and dizzy.
, he couldn’t move even if he was kicked and beaten.
Song Ming felt that he was walking too slowly, and was afraid that if he was delayed in the city for too long, it would be difficult for the thieves to escape once they reacted. After giving the order, a strong soldier carried Xie Erren on his back and walked quickly.
Although the drumbeats in the city were rapid at this time, they had already encountered sporadic patrols and additional security personnel along the way. Due to the haste of the incident, most of the temporarily added personnel were killed by them before they had time to react.
The group of people arrived at the north city wall smoothly. The Great Cloud Gate Tower was already brightly lit. It seemed that more manpower had been added, but there were no more lights on the walls on both sides of the tower. It was just the lanterns and torches of the patrollers who came in than they did.
It got a lot denser during that time.
It won't take long for the suddenness of the surprise attack to disappear, and it will become even more difficult to protrude the city wall. Both Song Ming and Jiang Suo screamed secretly when they saw the unrepaired tower of Dayunmen.
"lucky"!
Wen Tietou held a torch and chased all the way, and soon discovered the traces left by the attacker: a three-eyed gun. This firearm was not fired, and the gunpowder and lead bullets were well loaded. There was only one beside the abandoned road.
Possibility: It's too heavy and the enemy is eager to get away.
Thinking of this, Wen Tietou's confidence greatly increased, and he immediately warned his men: "The enemy is in front, chase me quickly!"
The porters howled and chased all the way. Wen Tietou said:
"Bring this blunderbuss with you too, and give them a guy when the time comes!"
The traces left by the enemy along the way were getting bigger and bigger, including discarded weapons and equipment, and the bodies of killed patrol guards. Wen Tietou took care to equip all the weapons he picked up, and followed closely. He looked at the big enemy in front of him.
The lights on the tower of Yunmen were clearly visible, and Wen Tietou became nervous. Although fighting and killing were commonplace, this time was different from the past. The other party dared to attack Wuzhou at night. Needless to say, they were all brave desperadoes.
His brothers may not have such courage. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little timid.
Looking at the top of the city, the flames of his "brother-in-law's" team had already rushed ahead. He remembered what Luo Yangming had said to him privately: This time he was going to rescue the elders. If the rescue was successful, it goes without saying that not only his brother-in-law, but also his brother-in-law would be rescued.
As for me, my wealth will be secured for the rest of my life! Wealth and wealth are found in danger. If I am a softie now, I will be the leader for the rest of my life!
Thinking of this, his courage suddenly increased, and he shouted: "The enemy is not far ahead, everyone, hold on tight!"
The road on the city wall was much easier to walk than the road under the city walls. They held fire and ran all the way. As soon as they reached the city wall, they attracted the attention of the sentry. Fortunately, the detective team's armband and Luo Yangming's pass worked. Although there was a slight delay, it did not stop.
Too much time wasted.
Because of the smooth journey, Luo Yangming's team arrived at Dayunmen several minutes earlier than Wen Tietou - almost at the same time as Jiang Suo and Song Ming's teams below the city.
As soon as he arrived at Dayun Gate, he immediately negotiated with the Fubo Army sergeant guarding the gate and reported the relevant situation. He also suggested that a search be launched on both sides of Dayun Gate immediately.
However, the sergeants of the Fubo Army were suspicious of this "detective team" that came unexpectedly from the city wall. As soon as they saw them, they ordered everyone to drop their weapons and kneel on the ground to wait for disposal. Fortunately, Luo Yangming often showed up on weekdays, and the sergeants and
He looked familiar, so he didn't arrest them all directly.
Luo Yangming spent a few minutes explaining the current situation, but the sergeant's eyes always showed suspicion. No matter how Luo Yangming explained, he was unwilling to let them start a search. He only ordered the gatekeepers to pay attention to the situation at the top of the city.
Luo Yangming was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, but he couldn't convince the other party. He knew very well that in his own capacity, he really lacked enough persuasion. It was OK to fool local personnel like the detective team, but not when facing the Fubo Army.
It worked.
Wang Ken and Madang were already waiting anxiously on the city wall. The sound of cannons, gunshots and various commotions inside and outside the city all showed that something big had happened in the city - naturally it was the group of officers and soldiers they escorted into the city.
According to the prior agreement, these people had to leave the city through their sentry posts.
Ever since this group of men in black entered the city, the two brothers had been on tenterhooks. They were afraid of being discovered - the rope ladder hanging down under their feet was the ironclad evidence of their collaboration with the enemy. Even if they were not "executed on the spot", they would be tortured.
In the end, there was no way to escape death.
Although the rope ladder is difficult to spot in the dark, if someone approaches with a torch for inspection, they will be exposed immediately!
On the one hand, it was the government's wish to "get promoted and get rich", but on the other hand, it was possible to lose their lives at any time. The two brothers were wandering around the city without a care in the world.
Just as they had no choice but to do so, they suddenly heard three frog calls coming from the foot of the city, followed by three more frog calls. Wang Ken and Maidang were refreshed - here they come!
There were two frog calls in response. Within a moment, a man in black climbed up the rope ladder. Wang Ken said, "You are here!"
The man in black interrupted him and asked in a low voice: "What's the news?"
"The movement is so loud..."
"I mean on the city!"
"Over at the city tower, a general warning drum was beaten. The lights also increased a lot."
"Is anyone coming to patrol?"
"Not at all..."
"Okay," the man in black said and waved his hand, and more people climbed up the rope ladder one after another. Then, someone climbed up with a person on his back. Wang Ken and McDonald looked frightened and felt that
It felt like a dream before my eyes.
Luo Yangming's words were dry and he couldn't make any sense. However, the sergeant felt that his suggestion of strengthening city wall patrols was not harmful, so he immediately sent two groups of detective teams to patrol along the east and west city walls.
Luo Yangming watched the torches of the two groups walking slowly along the city wall, and couldn't help but feel anxious. But he couldn't argue anymore - if he couldn't find a solution and a conflict broke out, the laborers he brought would be killed in vain.
Got it!
Seeing that Zhen Kun had been brought to the top of the city, Jiang Suo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: The matter was basically half done! He was urging the rest of the people to climb up the city quickly, when suddenly there was a flash of fire behind the city root, and there was a rapid fire.
Footsteps.
The pursuers have arrived! Jiang Suo secretly screamed, and immediately drew out his sword and whispered: "Leave ten people to follow me to the rear, and we must let General Song take away the Kun thief!"
Those who were brought into the city were all Song Ming's personal soldiers and servants, all of whom were brave and unafraid of death. As soon as they heard his order, they immediately gathered around him. Some had their bows and arrows ready, and some had muskets ready, ready to plunge in at any time.
Fight.
Little did Wen Tietou know that there were people in front of him who were ready to fight, so he just kept rushing forward in the dark. Seeing that the Dayunmen Gate Tower was approaching, suddenly there was a flash of fire on the opposite side.
, and instantly heard the roar of firecrackers in front.
This solid fire blunderbuss and feather arrows instantly knocked down seven or eight of Wen Tietou's men. For a while, there were wailing and screaming everywhere. Some people turned their heads and ran back. Wen Tietou's ears were buzzing.
There was a loud noise, and I felt a stream of heat flowing down my head. I reached out and touched it, but there was dark blood - blood.
Looking around, he saw his brothers lying on the ground. Some were wailing in pain, and some had lost their voices. This aroused Wen Tietou's blood, and he shouted: "Push to the street! Throw it down!"
"After saying that, he picked up his sword and got up and rushed forward. The porters, who were already shaken, had also seen large battles. When they saw the leader leading the charge, they all rushed forward with shouts of killing. Jiang Suo shouted and led
People came up to meet him, and the two sides immediately broke into a melee.
Luo Yangming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He was startled by the sound of gunshots. Looking back, he saw the sound of gunfire only a mile away, right under the city. It should be Wen Tietou's men fighting with the infiltrating enemy.
Already.
He quickly said to the sergeant: "Look, there's something going on over there!"
The sergeant was also surprised. He looked over and saw that although it was dark and couldn't see much, there was someone on guard at that position. He immediately ordered someone to signal and asked, but there was no response.
