Guo Zhongyuan squatted on the side of the road and asked the boy next to him: "Did you hear that? They said, who is the pioneer?"
The young man looked disbelieving and scratched his ears: "Li Ting?"
Behind the two of them, squatting was a man with evil eyebrows and embroidery on his neck. This man kept saying: "It's just the same name. The one named Li Ting may not be Li Erlang of Zhongdu..."
Guo Zhongyuan pondered for a moment: "I heard a few days ago that Li Erlang's younger brother Li Yun has returned to his hometown. With the support of the power behind him, he has managed the situation quite well. Maybe Li Erlang has really become some kind of pioneer? This guy is very prosperous.
Already?"
Several people around him shook their heads in disbelief.
Several people were still in the empty field next to Xuanyao Gate, among a large group of prisoners of the Weijie Army. At this time, the cavalry had already galloped into the city, joining forces with Wugu Lunduo's troops on the road to the west, followed by the infantry brigade.
It's still coming in.
Two generals passed in front of Guo Zhongyuan, and one of them said with envy: "Li Erlang is the vanguard again! Guo Langjun really values him!"
Another person laughed and said: "After all, he is from Zhongdu. I heard that he was a ranger in the city in his early years... If we don't use him now, who else can we use?"
Guo Zhongyuan and others couldn't hold it back and shouted and cursed in a low voice.
The two officers heard a strange noise and stopped to take a look.
Everyone quickly bowed their heads.
When the officer went elsewhere, the man with the cross-browed eyebrows murmured: "Damn, this is the guy. Mr. Li is so prosperous!"
The young man sighed with emotion: "Li Erlang loves Canada on weekdays and pretends to be his grandfather and ancestor everywhere... Think about it, after this battle, how will he look like trembling in front of us old brothers?"
Thinking of Li Ting's mischievous style, everyone sighed, sighed twice, and couldn't help but smile.
Now that Li Erlang is in this army, their position has changed instantly.
The cross-browed man thought for a while and said to Guo Zhongyuan: "Li Erlang can become an officer, brother, you can too. Although this team of people does not know where they came from, it is very powerful. After entering the city, we must reorganize the place and recruit people... Let's
Go and seek refuge with Li Er, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious service in the future!"
Guo Zhongyuan shook his head.
He stood up slightly, moved a few steps outside the crowd, looked at the direction of the fierce battle on the west side of the street, and then moved back quietly, showing a thoughtful expression.
Several people around him waited quietly.
After a long while, Guo Zhongyuan whispered: "It's easy to ask Li Erlang to take care of you. But how can a dignified man expect to be taken care of?"
"What do you mean, brother?"
"This group of troops is fierce and heading west, intending to kill in the direction of the imperial city. The headquarters of Marshal Zhizhong is stationed at the Donghua Gate of the imperial city. There will be a fierce battle there. That day we will attack from inside the palace.
When buying things, do you remember that a certain Naizhi said that south of Donghua Gate, there is a pier close to the house of Shangshu Province? The Naizhi also said that if you cross the pier and walk close to Dongyuan, you can directly
Went back to Donghua Gate, it was so remote and we couldn't see a single living person?"
Several companions were all at a loss: "I forgot, I don't remember. I have no impression, I didn't hear about it."
Guo Zhongyuan shook his head. These companions were all rough-tempered, and indeed they could not remember those trivial things. He only emphasized his tone: "In short, just follow me! Let's get a share of the credit, it is better than relying on others!"
Everyone nodded together.
There are hundreds of prisoners here, so they are naturally under supervision. However, the battle ahead is fierce, and the soldiers guarding them are constantly looking around, unable to keep an eye on these ghosts in Daxing Mansion. They actually took advantage of them and escaped.
Go out.
A moment later.
Under the Xuanhua Gate, Jing'an citizens looked suspiciously at the few people in front of them, old and young, tall and short: "Do you think there is a remote pier that is easy to climb over? After climbing over, is there a road that leads directly to Donghua Gate?"
It turned out that Guo Zhongyuan and others were old acquaintances with Li Ting. In their early years, they were both leading figures in the city's society. Guo Zhongyuan and Li Ting were from better families and had their own fields outside the city, so they often took care of their companions.
Since they are city foxes and rats, many of the things they usually rely on for a living are not on the table. A few years ago, they set up a line with the inner-directed people at the bottom of the imperial city, and smuggled the people out of the palace through the inner-directed people.
Guo Zhongyuan and others will sell the exquisite utensils and other items to make money.
Later, the incident came to light. In order to avoid trouble, Li Ting took some of his close subordinates and defected to the army overnight. But Zhongdu was attacked by the Mongolian army the year before last, and there was chaos inside and outside, but no one continued to pursue Guo Zhongyuan and others.
.
Although several years had passed since the incident, Guo Zhongyuan was very thoughtful. When he thought of Li Ting, he thought of the case back then, and also of the scattered words he had exchanged with people in the palace.
Guo Zhongyuan took a small road and rushed outside Xuanhua Gate. He happened to see Jing'an Min sending people out to check other ways to the city. He immediately went up to announce his home and asked to lead the way for Jing'an Min and others.
The people of Jing'an hesitated for a moment, but heard the sound of killing in front of them.
He is the general who leads the army. He is an extraordinary small soldier. He knows that his side has taken the initiative to raise troops suddenly, and the vigor and fierceness of the offensive all the way are actually maintained by Guo Ning's leadership. In fact,
The strength of the troops cannot match that of Hu Shahu's troops in the city.
One push will lead to failure, and three will be exhausted. The possibility of victory is only in this first push; at this time, you must seize every opportunity, seize every possibility, and never hesitate.
At that moment, he sent his subordinate Ma Bao and dozens of elite soldiers to follow Guo Zhongyuan.
The group of people rushed south along the outer wall of the palace city, passing through Shangshu Province, and broke into two groups of fights along the way. Sure enough, they saw a pier slightly protruding from the top of a remote wall, and the location of the pier coincided with the Shangshu Province that was later built.
The houses are close.
What's even better is that because Guo Ning's troops are making waves under Donghua Gate, Hu Shahu's troops are all concentrated at several ramp entrances outside Donghua Gate, blocking the passages, and the remaining troops can't attack everywhere on the palace wall.
Guard. This section of the wall is surprisingly deserted!
Everyone was so happy that they all took off their armor and shoes, held their daggers in their mouths, and helped each other climb over the wall.
Immediately, they stopped going into Dongyuan and ran towards Donghua Gate, half-bent, relying on the cover of the battlement wall.
Hu Shahu and his men did not expect that an enemy would suddenly attack from the side. Dozens of people immediately broke into the Donghua Gate Tower and started hacking and killing.
There were not many soldiers in the tower, and they were all busy shooting arrows. When they were suddenly attacked, they were all in a hurry and screamed. Some people crossed their long bows to resist the slashing of the steel knife, but how could they withstand it?
Guo Zhongyuan took two steps forward with his sword, and saw a soldier who looked like a leader roaring and swiping his sword to kill. His martial arts skills were ordinary, but like Li Ting, he was a street gangster, and he had no experience in fighting with others.
Extremely rich, he did not dodge or block at the moment, and stabbed his face with the knife, assuming a life-threatening posture.
The knife plunged straight into the neck of the leader. The leader struggled twice, and blood flowed out. Guo Zhongyuan then felt a sting on his forehead. When he reached out and touched it, his skin and flesh were turned out and dripping with blood.
It turned out that the leader's sword also hit his forehead, but he died a moment earlier and his hand lacked strength.
Guo Zhongyuan wiped the blood on his face and looked around. He saw Ma Bao shouting and leading people to disperse the enemy soldiers on the city wall. On the horse road a little further to the east, a bald man wearing heavy armor was wielding an iron rod. , led the crowd to kill.
Okay, very good. Taking the tower one step ahead is considered a credit.
Guo Zhongyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then saw two soldiers falling to the ground under the battlement beside him. A large iron jar was abandoned and swaying between the two battlements. There was a thick rope on the outside of the jar, shining with fire. !
This is iron artillery!
Others didn't know this thing, but Guo Zhongyuan had some knowledge and was shocked.
He subconsciously reached over and pushed the iron cannon outward.
The iron cannon weighs more than ten kilograms, and it requires a strong man to throw it far away. Previously, Li Ting's troops were killed and had to retreat, so the iron cannon could not continue to exert its power because it was far away from the city. The head is too far away, even if it is from a high position, it cannot be thrown.
This iron cannon was originally thrown at Guo Ning, who was rushing back and forth several feet in front of Donghua Gate.
But at this moment, Guo Zhongyuan pushed his hand, and the iron jar fell straight down. With a bang, it landed at the door of Donghua Gate, not far from Hu Shahu, who was personally holding a knife to supervise the battle, and smashed the sand everywhere. splash.
"What a bastard..." Hu Shahu only had time to curse, turned over and left.
The next moment, there was a roar, like a thunderbolt.
