Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 601 Must Kill Chen Xinjia
Under the protection of several guards, Chen Xinjia kept running towards the moat.

Because of the darkness, the pursuers behind did not find them and kept chasing forward.

"Hurry up and catch up with Chen Xinjia and the others. Once they enter the city, report the matter to His Majesty. I don't know if the dukes will be safe, but we all will die!"

A knight kept waving the whip in his hand and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the pursuers beside him kept waving their whips.

Although the defenders on the top of the city couldn't see the situation outside the city clearly, they could make a rough guess based on the sound of horseshoes.

"It's not right, it's not right. The sound of horseshoes outside the city makes me feel like they are running around the city wall of the capital? This is not normal, this is really not normal!" Full of doubts.

He really couldn't figure it out, if the sound of horseshoes outside the city was Zhao Wen's night, then there was no reason to go around the capital like this.

Moreover, there are not many horseshoes outside, which should not be the case.If it was Zhao Wen, it must be a large group of cavalry, it is impossible to have only so few.

"My lord, could it be Zhao thief's Yebushou who is investigating the defense around the capital?" The guard standing beside Baihu looked at Baihu.

Baihu shook his head, "Impossible, it's simply impossible. Who is Bandit Zhao? If he wanted to attack the capital, he would never do such a thing.

Although I have never dealt with thief Zhao, if I have an army of 20, there is no need to spy on the defense of the capital's city wall, and I will directly press all the troops on it, and then send the general of the capital at Ye Bu Shou Just block it out.

Moreover, the sound of horseshoes was so close that it felt as if they were circling around the moat.Do you think Zhao thief's soldiers and horses will circle the moat? "

The sound of horseshoes outside the city gradually faded away, and the defenders on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief.

The defenders on the city wall here breathed a sigh of relief, but the defenders on the city wall over there became worried again.

Because of the sound of hooves coming towards them.

"No, why do I still hear the sound of a carriage? You can hear the sound of the axle, the sound is too loud." A thousand households stood behind the crenel of the city wall, his eyes fixed on the outside of the city, Although nothing can be seen.

Tonight, the night sky was covered by dark clouds, so the defenders above the city couldn't catch the moonlight to see the scene outside the city clearly, they could only rely on the sound to distinguish.

"My lord, why do I feel that the sound of the horse's hooves is a bit weird." A hundred household officer standing next to Qianhu looked at Qianhu and said with a strange expression.

Qianhu asked, "What kind of strange method?"

Baihu replied: "I can't say it, but it feels a little weird, it's really abnormal!"

"The sound of horseshoes is gone!" Qianhu frowned and looked outside the city.

"My lord, it's really gone!" Baihu replied.

After an hour passed, the thousand households on the top of the city heard the sound of horseshoes again.

"Is this going around the city wall? Why is the sound of the horse's hoof coming from the same direction as before?" Qianhu murmured, looking in the direction of the sound of the horse's hoof.

"My lord, I feel the same way!" Baihu replied.

Qianhu slapped the crenel of the city wall and shouted angrily: "What the hell are you doing? Why is Zhao Zeitou letting his men circle around the capital when he is free? Zhao Zei holds an army of 20, there is no need to do this Right? And the sound of horseshoes outside the city doesn’t sound like there are many of them!”

At the same time, Chen Xinjia had reached the edge of the moat under the protection of several guards.

At this time, they couldn't enter the city gate, so they could only hide at the edge of the moat to prevent being discovered by the chasing soldiers.

The distance between Chen Xinjia's carriage and the pursuers became shorter and shorter. After one round, the distance between the two sides was less than one mile.

The driver sat on the shaft of the car, and because of the obstruction of the carriage, he couldn't see what was going on behind him.

Fortunately, the road near the city wall of the capital is relatively flat, otherwise, the carriage would have been torn apart by the bumps.

"Brothers, catch up and kill them!" The knight who rushed to the front pulled out the waist knife from his waist and began to wave it.

The guards following the carriage also drew out their waist knives.

A few quarters of an hour later, the pursuers finally caught up with the carriage.

"Hehe, I finally caught up. It took a lot of my strength to come all the way." The knight chasing at the front gave a grinning grin, then tightly clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and headed towards the side of the carriage. and go.

"No, they are catching up!" The coachman heard the sound of hooves getting closer and closer, and the cold sweat on his body kept breaking out.

"Kill!"

The knight who rushed to the front shouted, controlled the horse and gradually overtook the carriage, and finally came to the front of the carriage.

The pursuers behind him also hurriedly followed him and came to the front of the carriage.

The guards guarding around the carriage looked at the pursuers rushing up and brandished their weapons to kill them.

But these pursuers didn't fight them. When the guards rushed over, they speeded up and headed towards the front of the carriage.

For these pursuers, the most important thing is Chen Xinjia in the carriage.

After the pursuers came to the front of the carriage, they began to slow down and forced to stop the carriage behind and the guards guarding the carriage.

The pursuers were in front of the carriage, and their speed kept slowing down, while the carriage and the guards around the carriage also had to slow down.

After a while, the two sides finally stopped.

The pursuers looked at the stopped carriage, their eyes were full of bloodthirsty light.

"Surround them!" A pursuer controlled the horse, and led the pursuers behind him to press on the carriage.

After a while, the carriage was surrounded by them.

The guards on both sides of the carriage looked at the approaching pursuers, held weapons, and looked at them vigilantly.

As the two sides continued to approach, the atmosphere was depressed to the bottom.

When the encirclement shrunk to the point where it couldn't be smaller, the pursuers took the lead in attacking.

The goal of the pursuers is very clear, and that is the carriage.

"Protect your lord!" The guard commander looked at the pursuers who were approaching, and shouted pretendingly, and then led the rest of the troops to surround the carriage.

"kill!"

A chasing soldier looked at the guard standing in front of him with a ferocious expression on his face, and then swung the waist knife in his hand to kill towards the front.

Because the war horse had stopped at this time, the two sides fell into a hand-to-hand fight.

"Kill, protect your lord!" The guard commander's eyes were like bull's eyes, staring at the rushing pursuers.

At this time, the defenders on the top of the city were surrounded, and they were completely surrounded.

"What's going on? Why did I hear the shouts of killing? What's going on? Can't it be seen that Zhao's soldiers are fighting among themselves? Impossible!" The previous thousand households lay on the city wall with a dull expression. , squinting and looking out of the city.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the situation outside the city clearly.

"What's the situation? What's the situation? Who can tell me what the situation is?" Qianhu scratched his head anxiously.

The chasing soldiers and guards collided, and the sound of swords colliding was heard, spreading far away in the dark night.

The defenders on the top of the city looked in disbelief at the dark outside of the city.

……

"Report!"

A big Han general rushed to the door of the imperial study room, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, urgent military report!"

Chongzhen stood up from his seat in the imperial study, and hurriedly said: "Come in!"

The big Han general thanked him, and then hurried into the imperial study.

The big Han general half-kneeled in the imperial study room, and shouted at Chongzhen: "Your Majesty,..."

General Dahan repeated the news to Chongzhen in detail.

Chongzhen listened to the voice of the big Han general, and looked at Gao Qiqian suspiciously.

"Walking around the capital? What's going on? Why are there still fights? Could it be that Bandit Zhao's subordinates are fighting among themselves? Bandit Zhao shouldn't be that kind of incompetent person. How could his subordinates be fighting among themselves?" Chongzhen said dumbfounded.

From Chongzhen's point of view, the news of Zhao Wen's strife between soldiers and horses seems a bit outrageous.

It was not the first day Chongzhen knew Zhao Wen. From the day Chongzhen met Zhao Wen, Chongzhen had never heard of internal strife under Zhao Wen's command.

An army that has never had internal strife at this time has internal strife, how strange it looks.

"Can you see the soldiers on the city wall clearly? Is there really internal strife?" Chongzhen asked in disbelief.

"Returning to Your Majesty, because of the darkness, the soldiers on the top of the city didn't see the soldiers and horses fighting outside the city, but there were indeed shouts of killing and the intertwining of weapons outside the city." General Dahan replied.

"Your Majesty, the sound of horseshoes that appeared outside the city could not be thieves who robbed houses, right? The sound of horseshoes that appeared before might be the thieves chasing and killing someone. Those who were chased by the thieves ran to the capital and were chased by them Arrived outside the capital.

The fleeing people knew that they could not enter the capital at night, so they circled outside the capital.Now those who were hunted down by the thieves could not escape, and then the two waves of people killed together! "Gao Qiqian suddenly looked at Chongzhen and expressed his thoughts.

Gao Qiqian also didn't believe that Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses would be fighting among themselves. Coupled with the previous news, Gao Qiqian felt that a group of people should be targeted by a gang of thieves.

"Thiefs? Bandits? The capital is not far from Xuanzhen. Bandit Zhao wiped out all the bandits nearby a few years ago. Now even if there are bandits and bandits, it is impossible for them to have war horses." Chongzhen frowned and looked serious. Said.

Chongzhen withdrew his thoughts and looked at Gao Qiqian, "You take the factory guards to go to the city wall in person, you go and take a good look, what's going on here!"

"Observe the order!" Gao Qiqian saluted Chongzhen, then walked outside.

Gao Qiqian walked out of the door of the imperial study, and hurried to the yamen of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

After walking out of the palace, Gao Qiqian took the troops of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, led by the soldiers who conveyed the news, and hurried towards the city wall.

When Gao Qiqian came to the city wall, the shouting and killing outside had disappeared.

Gao Qiqian stood on the city wall and looked out of the city, "What's going on? Are you shouting for killing?"

"Back to Eunuch, the shouting for killing has disappeared before you came." The former Qianhu stood behind Gao Qiqian and said to Gao Qiqian.

"Disappeared?" The doubts on Gao Qiqian's face became more and more serious, "How could it disappear?"

"Eunuch, in my opinion, the sound of horseshoes outside the city should not be Zhao thief's soldiers and horses. It is impossible for Zhao thief's soldiers and horses to have internal strife, and even if it is internal strife, it will not disappear so quickly." Qianhu looked at it. He jumped up and spoke his mind.

Gao Qiqian let out a long breath, "Everything should not be taken lightly, just wait here first, and talk about it at dawn."

Gao Qiqian stood quietly on the city wall, and Gao Qiqian didn't intend to leave until the matter was completely clear.

However, as time passed by, Gao Qiqian gradually settled down in his heart.

"It shouldn't be Zhao thief's soldiers and horses, maybe it is really what I guessed." Gao Qiqian looked outside the city where there had been no sound for a long time, and muttered to himself.

"What should we do? Those bastards lied to us. There was no such old guy as Chen Xinjia in the carriage, and we lost several brothers."

In the open space not far from the city wall, one pursuer looked at another pursuer and asked worriedly.

Another pursuer said: "You ask me, how do I know? If Chen Xinjia can't be killed, Duke Ying will definitely not let me go after I go back. I guess your Duke Cheng won't let me go either."

"Then shall we just wait here now?" The chasing soldier before became anxious.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? If you run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. Chen Xinjia will definitely enter the city. We just need to send some people to each city gate. Let's keep an eye on the city gate. As soon as Chen Xinjia appears, we will rush directly, no matter what happens. 21 Kill him at the gate."

"But in this way, the soldiers guarding the city will definitely notice us. Even if we kill Chen Xinjia, we probably won't survive."

"If you can't live, you can't live. As long as you don't let the Duke be implicated, you can't live if you can't. My family is all in the Duke's mansion. If Chen Xinjia escapes back to the capital, the Duke will definitely not let my family go. Rather than doing this, we might as well go all out and kill Chen Xinjia. Maybe we can escape."

"You are right. My family is also in the Duke's Mansion. It seems that we have to fight."

"Well, everyone, come here now, and I'll make arrangements."

……

Time passed by slowly, and the sky in the east also turned pale, and Chongzhen walked up and down in the imperial study, feeling uneasy.

"What's the matter with Gao Qiqian? Why hasn't there been any news yet? What the hell is he doing?" Chongzhen looked in the direction of the city wall and shouted irritably.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, Gao Qiqian scrambled and rushed into the imperial study, and came in front of Chongzhen.

"How is it? How's the situation? Is it Zhao thief outside the city?" Before Gao Qiqian could speak, Chongzhen hurriedly asked.
