People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 394 Fraudulently opening the city gate, please enter the urn

Hiding sideways in the dark alley, Zhang Wanyu tried her best to calm down.

Teams of patrolling soldiers walked by from time to time on the avenue outside, and the taillight of the torches swept to Zhang Wanyu's feet from time to time.

Let her subconsciously shrink her feet back.

I don't know if they have noticed the threat coming, but the number and frequency of patrol soldiers tonight are obviously more than before.

Zhang Wanyu lowered her left hand slightly, holding a delicate crossbow tightly.

Behind her, besides He Qing'er, there were several strong men who also held bows and crossbows.

These are all masters transferred by Zhang Wanyu from outside the city.

Although the two parties have been in contact, Zhang Wanyu dare not transfer too many people from the outside.

The king of Nanchang is too sharp, and once they are discovered, they will be in trouble.

Behind the group of people, there are four long willow crates.

Looking at the crossbows each of them held in their hands, one could tell what was in those boxes.

As the breeze blew past, Zhang Wanyu's expression immediately became terrified.

Although they had found enough bows and crossbows tonight, they couldn't deliver them all to the people they should deliver.

Fangmen, Jiekou, city gate, watchtower, none of these places belong to them.

In Wuzhou City, they are like blind men who have been poked blind.

Suddenly, the eastern sky suddenly flashed a light.

Even the raging burning flame can be seen faintly.

There is where the grain depot is located.

Zhang Wanyu looked sideways at He Qinger who was behind her, and said in a low voice, "You got it."

He Qing'er, who was tall and clear-eyed, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It is related to the life and death of their own Aye, few people can turn a blind eye.

"Master, we have to make preparations." He Qing'er put everything behind her in a blink of an eye and focused on the business.

Zhang Wanyu nodded, then looked behind her and waved back slightly.

The next moment, the group of people had retreated into the deeper darkness.

It was at this time that bursts of hurried footsteps sounded on the street outside.

Zhang Wanyu kept counting in the dark.

25 people, half of the soldiers of the team are already heading east quickly.

A fire in a grain depot is never a trivial matter.

Under the command of Wuzhou soldiers Cao Canjun, in Wuzhou City, there are a total of three hundred soldiers directly under him, which is the number of a regiment.

But these soldiers are divided into three guards, patrol guards, watchtower guards and city gate guards.

The number of guards varies, and the number of guards at the city gate is the largest, with 180 soldiers.

Among them, Nancheng is the main gate of Zhoucheng.

The city gate is the largest, so there are the most soldiers guarding it every day.

During the day, there can be as many as 50 people.

The night is also half the day.

But tonight, almost all the pawns that could arrive,
Including Chengmen school lieutenant Fan Ze, there were a total of 75 people.

The law of war says, so the law of using troops is to encircle it if it is ten, attack it if it is five, and fight it if it is doubled.Therefore, the strength of a small enemy is the capture of a big enemy.

When the combat power of the two sides is equal, the siege army's pawns are at least five times that of the defending army's pawns, so that the city can be successfully stormed and captured, but the sacrifice is also huge.

And ten times and five times are just an approximation, and even five times are just a passing mark.

Although there are five times as many people outside the Tianyin sect city as the city gate, don't forget that it is only the city gate. As long as the guards insist on delaying, countless troops will rush over immediately.

Let alone a few hundred, even a few thousand, as long as they are given time, they can make it up.

In the battle that year, the biggest failure of Tianyin Sect was to build up the confidence of all officials in the court.

They no longer regard the Tianyin Sect as fire and water, in their eyes the Tianyin Sect can be defeated.

Therefore, a strong attack is absolutely not advisable, and clever tricks must be used to seize the door.

25 people left, and there were only 50 people left at the gate of the city.

……

Not long after, a quarrel came from the gate of the city.

The corner of Zhang Wanyu's mouth in the darkness showed a hint of complacency, because now it is her person who is in charge of asking for help at the city gate.

The King of Nanchang thought that Zhang Wanyu wanted Chen Ming to enter Dingxingfang to incite the congregation, but in reality it was just a feint.

Zhang Wanyu's real trump card has never been with the congregation, but with Fangzheng.

The people sent by Fangzheng's subordinates to ask for help will not only magnify the matter countless times, but also ask the city gate guards to assist as much as possible.

The most important thing is that after a quarrel between the two sides, it is bound to shake the morale of the army.

Sure enough, someone seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and the quarrel ended quickly.

Hasty footsteps sounded, and quickly went away, and finally completely disappeared.

A group of people were sent to Dingxingfang, and there were even fewer guards at the city gate.

At this moment, Zhang Wanyu's expression became extremely solemn, she stretched out her hand to touch it from her bosom, and she had already pulled out a firework, and then pointed to the sky and blew it off without hesitation.

A beautiful firework suddenly bloomed high above the sky.

In an instant, the upper part of the city gate was illuminated transparently, and the faces of the people on the city wall were blank with a trace of panic.

The fireworks were completely extinguished in an instant.

Zhang Wanyu hid in the darkness, while counting silently in her heart, she also turned her ears to the maximum, trying her best to listen to the sounds outside.

Soon, she heard a burst of fast footsteps coming from outside the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, there was an incomparably clear shout.

……

"Open the door, open the door quickly, Jinhua soldier Cao Canjun Kang Duo has been ordered to come to support."

Under the city wall, a man dressed like Kang Duo, a Jinhua soldier who joined the army, shouted loudly from the city wall.

City gate captain Fan Ze looked down from the crenel, frowned, and shouted loudly: "Brother Jin Ming, the king of Nanchang has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the city gate tonight, and anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded."

"Brother Qingshan, my younger brother also came here by order. The prince has a previous order. Once there are shouts of killing in the state city, he asks Jinhua County to send people to help immediately. The younger brother has the official document of Ning county magistrate here. In addition, the prince also specially bestowed the governor Command arrow." Kang Duo kept waving the command arrow in his hand.

"The official document of the county magistrate, the governor ordered the arrow." Fan Ze was slightly taken aback, and his brows immediately frowned.

The county magistrate's official document is nothing more than the governor's order.

Without the assassin's arrow, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, he wouldn't be able to enter Wuzhou City tonight.

But the King of Nanchang has a previous order, and Fan Ze has heard of it before, and now with the assassin's order, it is difficult for Fan Ze to refuse.

Many people in Wuzhou know that the king of Nanchang has the assassin's order and arrow.

After all, he used to act in Dongyang with the help of the governor's order.

Although he was reluctant and his face was very ugly, Fan Ze shouted towards the city: "Put the official document and the command arrow into the spider plant."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kang Duo put the official document and the assassin's order arrow into the spider plant.

The Chlorophytum rose, Kang Duo picked up the assassin's arrow, and then looked at the official document of Jinhua County Magistrate Ning Yi.

Fan Ze's face was full of astonishment, the governor ordered the arrow to be real, and there was no problem with Jinhua's official document.

Soon, Fan Ze's voice came from above the city gate: "I have been ordered to open only one city gate tonight, only allowed to enter, not allowed to exit, you will understand later."

"Understood." Kang Duo replied loudly, then looked towards the place where the flames were burning on the east side, and shouted: "Hurry up and open the door, so that we can rush to the grain depot to fight the fire."

This urging gave Fan Ze no reason to delay and refute.

He waved his hands helplessly, followed closely, and the city gate on the left opened slowly in an instant.

Kang Duo gritted his teeth immediately and rushed in.Behind him, a whole team of soldiers in blue also rushed in.

The first moment he rushed into the city gate, Kang Duo was ready to call for his hands and completely open the other half of the city gate, but at this moment, Kang Duo was stunned.

Because just behind the other half of the city gate, four or five huge bluestones were firmly blocked.

With only four or five pieces, these bluestones completely blocked the space behind a city gate.

Without leaving any gaps, no one knows how they did it.

For a moment, Kang Duo couldn't help but feel calculated.

Only in and not out.

Is it...

"Master!" The subordinates on one side couldn't help calling beside him.

The hall master, the so-called "Kang Duo", his true identity is actually Lin Jie, the deputy head of the Muzhou Hall of the Tianyin Sect.

I don't know who has such a superb disguise technique that Lin Jie and Jinhua soldier Cao Canjun and Kang Duo's makeup are very similar.

Not only that, they even forged Ning Yi's official documents and stamped them with a big seal, which is somewhat outrageous.

Lin Xie shook his head and put these things behind him.

Looking at the dim Zhoucheng Street in front of him, Lin Jiemeng gritted his teeth, waved his hands and shouted: "Go to the city, everyone, go to the city quickly."

Now that they have come in, no one can let them go out again.

With Lin Jie's order, more black pawns rushed into Wuzhou City from his side.

It seems that Wuzhou City has no defenses.

At this time, Lin Xie grabbed the two cronies, pulled them aside, and shouted in a cold and urgent tone: "You two stay here for me, even if you die, they can't close the city gate... even if the city gate is closed... The door has to be closed, and you have to block it fiercely with your own corpses; remember, in case of any accident, you are the last retreat for the brothers."

"Hall master, don't worry, we will definitely repay you with death." The faces of the two confidantes were full of expressions of resignation to death.

At this time, Lin Xie took a step back, put his hands together, and said in a respectful voice: "Goddess Tianyin, Goddess will live forever."

"Goddess of Tianyin, God will live forever."

……

Lin Xie strode out of the city gate. Immediately, he subconsciously looked at the alleys on both sides and the gate tower above his head.

However, the strange thing was that there was not a single Wuzhou soldier within his line of sight.

Even Fan Ze from before had disappeared.

It's not right, it's very wrong.

However, at this time, Lin Xie had no way out, he could only stride forward, rushing towards the agreed direction.

I couldn't help looking back, and I suddenly saw figures in the darkness at the end of my sight, rushing towards the city gate while the city gate was still open.

Heaving a sigh of relief, turning around, Lin Xie saw a figure flashing out of the street in front of him.

Zhang Wanyu, the head of the Yuhang Hall of the Tianyin Sect, is temporarily in charge of all affairs of the Wuzhou Hall.

Zhang Wanyu is also the fiancée of Lin Jie's cousin Fang Yunxiu.

In an instant, Lin Xie saw a willow wooden box being dragged out of the alley.

The moment Lin Jie saw the box, his eyes turned red, he waved his hands back, and shouted loudly, "Come on!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xie rushed towards the box by himself.

At this moment, Lin Jie only had that box in his eyes.

Only the countless crossbows contained in that box.

Almost instantly, Lin Xie had rushed to Zhang Wanyu's side, but quickly got off his horse.

But the moment he dismounted from his horse, he had already slammed into Zhang Wanyu's body, knocking her into the alley behind him, and at the same time shouted coldly: "Hurry up!"

"Let's go?" Zhang Wanyu was stunned, unable to react for a moment.

But at this time, a hand had already grabbed Zhang Wanyu's arm, pulling her into a deeper darkness.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Wanyu finally came to her senses, she shook off He Qing'er's hand violently, and at the same time grabbed her wrist with her backhand, and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

"This is a trap." At this time, He Qing'er, regardless of Zhang Wanyu's grasp on her wrist, quickly walked towards the depths of the alley, and at the same time said: "The reaction of the city gate is wrong."

Zhang Wanyu's brows twitched wildly, and she let go of He Qing'er's hand all at once.

In an instant, Zhang Wanyu turned her head and looked in Lin Xie's direction.

At the end of the alley, Lin Xie had already opened the box.

She understood that Lin Xie was making a last-ditch effort.

Give it a go, there is still a chance.

But, what if...
