These civilian husbands who transported grain were naturally disguised by the Huai'an army.

But the people in Xuzhou City are not fools, so although these Huai'an soldiers can pretend to be civilian husbands and enter the city, they have no weapons in their hands!

More importantly, they have no armor on them.

This is undoubtedly very disadvantageous.

Originally, there was no need for them to take such risks, and Lin Sheng’s pre-designed plan was not like this. He prepared 100 grain trucks tonight, and the more than [-] in front were normal grain trucks. None with weapons.

But the last dozen grain trucks were full of standard war knives!

After all, this is the business of Mr. Pan Zhizhou. These soldiers only searched the grain trucks symbolically when they entered the city. It is impossible to search outside the city. Therefore, the vehicles at the end of the team can carry weapons.

According to Lin Sheng's plan, when the last dozen or so vehicles entered the city, they would suddenly raise their weapons, control the city gates, set off arrows and fireworks, and notify the main force of the Huai'an army who had already arrived at high speed!
It happened to be midnight at that time, and the vanguard of the West Route Army who was ordered to rush over from Luliang Mountain should have been close to Xuzhou City, and the time was just right!

Unexpectedly, halfway through the matter, these Qi people suddenly received the news that the Huai'an army was coming to attack. Seeing that the city gate was about to be closed, Lin Sheng had no choice but to adapt to the situation, temporarily change the plan, and act immediately!
These Huai'an troops pretending to be civilian husbands were the elites selected by Su Ding himself. They were ordered to be dispatched by Lin Sheng, and they had a plan in advance. After hearing Lin Sheng's words, these Huai'an troops first pretended to be afraid and fled around. Together they rushed to the soldiers defending the city.

These soldiers were originally the guards of the city, and they had no fighting power at all. When they were crowded, they immediately became a little unstable. In a few breaths, these "citizen husbands" were given away!

After a while, the weapons of the 30 or so city guards were all disarmed, and Lin Sheng immediately had more than [-] combat powers here. His hands were trembling at the moment, and he was hiding behind the city gate cautiously, with a trembling voice.

"Control the city gate, control the city gate!"

At this moment, someone has already fired arrows, and each of the dozen or so "grain trucks" that were originally in the last row was pushed by seven or eight people, and they quickly approached the west gate of Xuzhou!

At this time, General Du didn't understand what happened. After he was stunned for a moment, his subordinates came to report: "General Du, Pan Zhizhou is dead!"

"Pan Zhizhou is dead, what does it have to do with me?"

He cursed loudly, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a red flame rising into the sky at the gate of the city, and then exploded, forming red stars all over the sky, which disappeared into the night sky in a flash.

General Du was stunned for a while, and then a chill came to his heart: "No, no!"

He shouted: "Southern thief! It's a southern thief!"

He looked around and shouted loudly: "Left and right! Clean up the southern thieves and take back the city gate!"

"The southern thief is here!"

Although Lin Sheng was already trembling with fright, he still called someone over and told him to shout the expected slogan.

"The conscripts are robbing food! The conscripting troops are robbing food!"

"Soldiers from the Southern Conscript Army killed Master Pan and grabbed food!"

The reason for shouting this is naturally to mess up the situation and muddy the water in Xuzhou City. After all, theoretically speaking, even if the Lingsu Division of the West Route Army gets some horses to rush over, it will take midnight at the earliest In other words, they must control the city gate for at least an hour!
At this time, being able to delay for a while will be of great help to the situation!
General Du Shen had already understood, he was furious, and cursed: "These vicious southern thieves killed Pan Zhizhou, and even poured dirty water on my head!"

"Give it to me and kill them all!"

A thousand households next to General Du looked at the situation and said in a low voice, "General, we only brought over 200 people to take over this city gate..."

"Go first!"

General Du Shen scolded: "Didn't you see that it was a group of peasants making trouble? Our Daqi Wangshi can't even deal with a group of peasants!"

As he said that, General Du took a look at the west city gate. At some point, one or two hundred civilians had gathered at the gate, and many of them had already obtained weapons!

"Rush forward immediately, and I will send a battalion of thousands of households here immediately, and smash these southern thieves to ashes!"

General Du spat on the ground and scolded: "You are so brave. You dare to rob the city gate without even a leather armor. I will call a hundred archers and shoot them all!"

With that said, he strode away and turned around.

As for Qianhu beside him, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead others to rush up.

At this time, more than a dozen carts of weapons had almost arrived at the gate of the city. More than 30 people who grabbed the weapons stood in front and fought with the more than 100 Xuzhou defenders, while the rest of them took turns. After running to the weapon cart and taking off the weapon, he immediately ran back to the city gate and joined the battlefield!
However, one side is full of armored officers and soldiers defending the city, and the other side is the Huai'an army in civilian clothes. Although they have obtained weapons, they still suffer too much.

Fortunately, relying on the temporary advantage in numbers, these hundreds of Huai'an troops still firmly controlled the city gate!
In addition, the terrain near the city gate tower is relatively narrow. It was originally used to guard against the enemy's street fighting after entering the city. At this time, it is actually beneficial to the Huai'an army occupying the city gate!

As long as a dozen people can hold the pass and prevent the Xuzhou defenders from rushing over.

But there was no armor, and the two sides only fought for a cup of tea. The Huai'an army suffered more than a dozen casualties here, and blood was everywhere at the gate of the west city.

And as time dragged on, a large group of Xuzhou defenders would rush over soon.

Lin Sheng was hiding behind the gate of the city gate. After watching the battlefield for a while, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, go up to the gate tower!"

"Their reinforcements will arrive in a while, and they must bring bows and crossbows. We don't have armor and shields. We are at a disadvantage!"

"Going up the tower, they are not easy to shoot, as long as you guard the stairs, you are safe!"

These Huai'an Army officers and soldiers are now dispatched by Lin Sheng. After he spoke, everyone looked at each other. Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many Qi people, they rushed forward for a while, and then successfully killed the tower!

But in this way, the city gate will naturally be occupied by Qi people, and the city gate that has been opened will be closed again!
Lin Sheng was carried to the tower by a group of strong men.

In order to prevent being shot by Qi Ren's arrows, he carefully lay behind the cover, his face pale with fright.

At the crossing of the city tower, the fighting became more and more intense.

Fortunately, at this time, the corridor was even narrower, and the Qi people couldn't attack it for a while.

Lin Sheng lay on the ground, feeling that time passed extremely slowly, and every breath was suffering.

Every sound of yelling to kill from outside made this scholar who was born as the chief secretary of the residence newspaper tremble with fear.

After all, he used to be a scholar.

After entering the Mansion Reporting Department, he also did intelligence work. When he was working in Jiankang in the early years, the eighth group had never seen blood on his hands. Today, stabbing Pan Mao to death was the first time he had killed someone.

Time passed extremely slowly.

It seems like 1 years have passed.

Finally, red fireworks exploded in the night sky.

Lin Sheng, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned his head to look at the sky, full of surprises: "Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Hurry up, set off the fireworks and tell them we're at the West City Gate!"

Under Lin Sheng's order, red fireworks exploded at the West Gate once again.

Immediately afterwards, there was a faint sound of horseshoes.

About two thousand cavalry rushed to the gate of the west city gate.

However, the west city gate in front of them was closed tightly.

The leader of this cavalry was Zhang Meng from the western front. He looked at the closed gate in front of him and frowned slightly.

Just when Zhang Meng wondered whether the internal response in the city had rebelled, a young man's head poked out from the tower.

The young man waved his arms vigorously, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Attention please!"

He shouted loudly: "We are going to open the city gate!!"

After saying this, Lin Sheng looked back at the remaining 300 soldiers of the Huai'an Army, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers!"

"Open this door, everyone who is here today counts as one, they are all fucking heroes!"

"He is the hero of the Huai'an army, and our Da Chen hero!"

He turned his head and glanced at the thousands of Qi people gathered below, blushing: "Just open the latch, open the latch and that's it!"

After saying this, Siwu Lin patted his chest and said in a trembling voice, "This time, I will rush with you!"

A Huai'an army man on the side grinned: "Young master, you stay on the tower!"

After finishing speaking, he fastened his armor, turned his head and glanced at the twenty or thirty Huai'an soldiers who were also wearing armor, and said calmly, "Brothers, it's time to record your merits, are you afraid?"

These armors were taken from the Qi people.

During the hour of guarding the corridor, they repelled the Qi people's charge several times, and also killed more than a hundred Qi people. More than 20 Qi people were dragged up to the tower by them, and their armor was stripped off.

These Huai'an soldiers looked at each other, and they all laughed heartily: "General Su said that if he dies here, he will pay 50 taels of pensions, for fear of being an egg!"

"it is good!"

The man who took the lead was their leader, Qianhu, who stood up and shouted, "Come down with me and open this city gate!"

Lin Sheng's eyes turned red and he didn't speak.

The Huai'an army on the tower, led by these more than 20 armored soldiers, raised the few shields they had snatched, and rushed down the tower firmly.

Under the city tower, blood flowed all over the place, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere!

The smell of blood rushed to the tower.

However, these are the elite of the Huai'an army after all, and coupled with the narrow terrain, there will not be too many Qi people facing them at the same time. With a yell, He Qianhu slashed and killed a Qi man who was holding the door bolt, and then took another Qi man's knife, and together with his fellow robes beside him, he forcibly lifted the heavy door bolt!
He Qianhu was slashed on his left shoulder, but now he had no time to cry out in pain, but yelled, "The latch is open!"

"The latch is open!"

At the same time, more than a dozen soldiers of the Huai'an Army shouted in unison!

Lin Sheng on the tower, his eyes were red, he turned around suddenly and looked out of the city.

This young man who was born as a scholar and never sweared, yelled furiously at Zhang outside the city with all his strength.

Shouting at the top of my lungs!

"Bump me!!"
