Chapter 50: Second infiltration, continuous shooting
"Zhao Liu is right. It won't be too late. I'm going to gather the manpower right now."

The red lady agreed with Liu Sheng's analysis and ideas, and after expressing her agreement, she went to organize the rebel army in a hurry.

Yang Heqing was eager to cause trouble in Minggang Town at noon, and even agreed with the idea of ​​fighting back to Minggang Town.

After hearing what the red lady said, Yan Yuanshan and Wen You also felt that this was a "business" that was very feasible and profitable, so they naturally agreed.

Later, the Red Lady only left more than 70 infantry including the female elite team, plus more than 100 elites, to gather [-] people, and gave them to Wen You and Yan Yuanshan to command, responsible for guarding the Refugee Valley and the five hundred stones of food. .

The one hundred rebels left behind were a bit small, but Guo Dajiang also organized several hundred young and strong refugees, armed with various weapons, to guard the valley entrance and patrol the hills, which was enough to intimidate people.

Liu Sheng, Hong Niangzi, and Yang Heqing quickly rushed to Minggang Town with more than thirty horse soldiers (including Wang Laowu and others) and 250 rebel infantry.

Go halfway.

Liu Sheng said: "I will go there first and sneak into the town to inquire about the situation."

The red lady said: "I am usually responsible for gathering information in the team, and I will be with you."

Immediately, the red lady told Yang Heqing and ordered five more horsemen to accompany them to help watch the horses and respond.

Several people, together with Liu Sheng, rushed to the outside of Minggang Town first.

Minggang Town does not have a proper city wall, but there is an adobe wall nearly ten feet high on the outside. Not only are broken ceramic pieces inserted on it, but also thorny plants such as thorns are planted on it. It does provide certain protection against thieves and small groups of bandits. effect.

But for masters like Liu Sheng and Hong Niangzi, it is not a hindrance.

The red lady subconsciously wanted to show off in front of Liu Sheng.

She rode her horse to the foot of a shorter earth wall, stood up from her horse, and chopped off the thorns above with a few swings of her sword.Then he grabbed the wall with his hands and jumped. His light body reached the top of the wall like a civet, and then jumped down.

Liu Sheng smiled, not showing off his skills.

He handed the horse over to the rebel horsemen who stayed behind, and climbed up the wall on horseback.

Compared with the red lady, his posture has no beauty, but it is also steady and agile.

Behind the earthen wall are large vegetable plots, some of which had just been poured with dung water, and stinked under the scorching sun.

After crossing the vegetable field and a smelly ditch that was almost dry, the two entered the town.

There was no movement on the street. It seemed that the fighting had stopped.

Ordinary people's homes are closed, and very few dare to show their heads to see what's going on outside.

The red lady wanted to take the risk to visit in the alley next to the street, but Liu Sheng held her back and motioned to go from the other side.

The matchmaker chose to believe Liu Sheng.

In the afternoon, when Liu Sheng observed the Zhang family and Fan family mansions with binoculars on the roof of the tallest restaurant in the town, he memorized the lanes and the locations of most buildings in the town.

At this time, he climbed to the roof of a two-story house with the red lady and took out the binoculars.

"what is this?"

"Telescope, also called telescope."

Liu Sheng explained the function of the telescope in a low voice. After hearing this, the red lady was amazed and thought of using it in war.

"With this treasure, it will be easier to see the enemy's movements during a battle, and it will be more convenient to detect roads and enemy situations."

"good."

Liu Sheng looked around and quickly found the Zhang family and Fan family mansions. Then he handed the telescope to the red lady and pointed out the location of the Zhang and Fan families.

"There are only some guards patrolling the Fan Family Mansion, but there are a lot of people at the Zhang Family Mansion. There are officers and soldiers and people dressed as ordinary people mixed together. It seems that the archers of the Inspection Department have really been defeated."

Liu Sheng made speculations based on what he saw.

The red lady looked at the Zhang family's mansion with a telescope and said: "The archers were defeated, but not all of them were eliminated. You see, the courtyard where the Zhang family's granary is located is still surrounded by many officers and soldiers."

After saying that, the matchmaker handed the binoculars back.

Liu Sheng used his binoculars to take a closer look at Zhang's house, and sure enough, he found dozens of people gathered outside the courtyard in the southwest corner. Occasionally, people walked through the courtyard, but they were nervous, and a middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman was shouting outside the courtyard.

Putting down the telescope, Liu Sheng said excitedly: "It seems that they have not been able to kill all the archers, and the officers and soldiers will probably be dragged back to Zhang's house for a while.

I sneaked over to see if I could kill the person in charge and disrupt their command.

You hurry up and notify Yang Heqing, lead the troops to attack the town from Nanjiekou, and go straight to the Zhang family mansion! "

As a legendary woman who could become the leader of the rebel army, the Red Lady did not hesitate and said, "Be careful," and then walked downstairs to leave.Liu Sheng also came down from the building and walked toward the Zhang family mansion.

He soon arrived outside the Zhang family's mansion.

The Zhang family mansion is the largest mansion in Minggang Town. It consists of twenty or thirty courtyards gathered together and covers an area of ​​dozens of acres.

Because it was too big, the officers and soldiers and the Fan family were unable to guard all the courtyard walls, allowing Liu Sheng to climb in easily.

When he arrived near the southwest compound where the granary was located, Liu Sheng heard shouting.

"I, Fan Yongcheng, guarantee with the goodwill of the Fan family that as long as you come out, you can definitely save your lives, and you can even get ten shi, no, twenty shi of food from the Zhang family!"

After hearing this, Liu Sheng changed his position and saw the middle-aged wealthy businessman who was shouting outside the main entrance of the compound.

I thought to myself, is this person Fan Yongcheng?

Great opportunity.

But he didn't do it right away.

Because it would be too bad to expose Fan Yongcheng, it would take some time for Hong Niangzi, Yang Heqing and the rebels to rush to Nanjiekou.

"I don't believe it, unless you leave the Zhang family mansion first!"

There was a voice in the yard that Liu Sheng seemed to have heard before. It seemed to be the archer commander who was the first to stab an officer and soldier to death.

An officer and soldier wearing cloth armor and an iron helmet outside shouted: "Zhang Ao, don't toast or eat as a fine, be careful as we storm in!"

Liu Sheng thought to himself that this man should be the captain of the army, and most likely the commander of the remaining officers and soldiers.

The opponent's cloth armor is most likely inlaid with iron plates. It's really difficult to kill with a crossbow arrow. You have to see the opportunity and hit the face with an arrow.

Fan Yongcheng seemed to have lost his patience, took off his hypocritical mask, and shouted coldly: "Zhang Ao, if you don't come out, don't blame us for being rude if your family members are arrested later!"

The archers in the courtyard stopped talking to each other, but they were obviously threatened.

Liu Sheng was still not ready to take action and waited patiently.

Ten minutes later, the sound of horse hooves and shouts of death were heard from the direction of Nanjiekou.

Fan Yongcheng's expression changed, and he said to the captain: "Captain Cheng, it's probably bandits who are coming to attack. I'm afraid those few nursing homes and some young men in the town may not be able to stop them. Please take people there quickly." support."

Captain Cheng also hoped to use the Fan family's connections in Fucheng to succeed him as the general recruiter of King Chu City. After listening to Fan Yongcheng's words, he nodded and said: "Then this place will be handed over to the Fan Dong family."

"Don't worry, as long as the family members of Zhang Ao and others are captured, they will have no choice but to come out and die."

When Captain Cheng summoned all the officers and soldiers in the Zhang family mansion, a team of more than [-] people, and they were halfway out of the main entrance of the Zhang family mansion, Liu Sheng took action decisively and shot Fan Yongcheng to death with a crossbow arrow.

"Master!"

The second housekeeper of the Fan family next to him exclaimed.

The rest of the nursing staff also looked at Fan Yongcheng who fell to the ground with an arrow in his neck, and were shocked for a moment.

Liu Sheng took this opportunity to shoot the second housekeeper.

The Fan family nursing staff outside the compound immediately looked for shelter, but Liu Sheng shot and killed a person who was suspected to be the leader of the nursing home.

Only then did someone discover Liu Sheng's location and shouted: "The thief is on the roof to the west!"

Unfortunately, when others looked over, Liu Sheng had disappeared.

At the main gate of Zhangjiazheng.

Cheng Wan first vaguely heard someone shouting "Master". He signaled everyone to stop and the surrounding area became quiet, and then he clearly heard the sentence "The thief is on the roof to the west."

So he frowned and looked to the west, hesitating for a moment.

He didn't know whether he should go back to the granary compound to see the situation there, or continue to support Nanjiekou.After all, he was just a captain before, and most of the time he did things according to Liu Xicai's orders.

At this time, a servant who had escaped from the Refugee Valley said: "Captain Cheng, why don't you let me take a dozen people to see the situation in the granary compound, and you can lead the team to continue to support Nanjiekou."

Cheng Wan nodded, "That's fine."

Then the troops were divided into actions.

After Liu Sheng discovered this situation, he ignored the affairs of the Zhang family mansion and secretly followed Cheng Wan and other officers and soldiers.
