Less than half an hour ago.
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. The man kept saying: "It's just the same name. The person 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 and has managed the situation quite well because of the support behind him. Maybe Li Erlang has really become some kind of pioneer? This guy is so 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 galloped into the city and joined forces with Ugu Lunduo's troops on the road to the west. The infantry brigade behind them was still pouring in.
Two generals passed by Guo Zhongyuan, 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 bowed their heads quickly.
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: "Li Erlang loves Canada on weekdays. He pretends to be his grandfather and ancestor everywhere... Think about it, how will he look like trembling in front of us old brothers after this battle?"
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 be 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 do it 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 men and horses is fierce and heading west, aiming to kill in the direction of the imperial city. The headquarters of Marshal Zhizhong is stationed at 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 Going back to Donghua Gate, it’s so remote and you can’t see a single living person along the way?”
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 they really couldn't remember the trivial matters. He only emphasized his tone: "In short, just follow me! Let's get a share of the credit, which is better than relying on others!"
Everyone nodded together.
There are hundreds of captives here, so naturally they are being supervised. But the fighting was raging ahead, and the soldiers guarding them were constantly looking around, unable to keep an eye on these local ghosts in Daxing Mansion. They actually took advantage of them and escaped.
A moment later.
Under the Xuanhua Gate, Jing'an Min looked suspiciously at the few people in front of him, tall and short, old and young: "You said, there is a remote pier that is easy to climb over? After climbing over, is there a road directly to Donghua Gate?"
It turns out that Guo Zhongyuan and others are old acquaintances of Li Ting. In their early years, they were both first-rate figures in the city and society. Guo Zhongyuan and Li Ting are better off and have their own fields outside the city, so they often take care of their companions.
Since he is a city fox and a social rat, many of the things he usually relies on for a living are not on the table. A few years ago, they established a connection with Nei Zhi at the bottom of the imperial city, and smuggled out the palace's exquisite utensils and objects from Nei Zhi. Guo Zhongyuan and others would sell the stolen goods to make money.
Later, when the incident came to light, Li Ting, who had once sold off the stolen goods, took some of his close men to join the army overnight in order to avoid disaster. 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 have passed since the incident, Guo Zhongyuan's thoughts are very careful. When he thinks of Li Ting, he thinks of the case back then, and also thinks of the scattered words he exchanged with the palace officials.
Guo Zhongyuan took a small road and rushed outside Xuanhua Gate, when he saw Jing'an people sending people out to inquire about other ways to climb the city. He immediately went up to announce his home address and asked to lead the way for Jing Anmin and others.
The people of Jing'an hesitated for a moment and 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 army cannot match that of Hu Shahu's troops in the city.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted. The possibility of victory only lies in this first tongue; at this time, we 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 the 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 cannot be everywhere on the palace wall. Guard. This section of the wall is completely empty!
Everyone was overjoyed. They all took off their armor and shoes, held their daggers in their mouths, and helped each other climb over the wall.
Then 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 screaming. Someone crosses the long bow to resist the slashing of the steel knife, how can he 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 born as a street gangster, and he had a lot of experience in fighting with others. He did not dodge or block at the moment, and stabbed his face with the knife in a life-threatening manner. Posture.
The knife plunged straight into the neck of the leader. The leader struggled twice, and blood flowed out gurglingly. Only then did Guo Zhongyuan feel a stinging pain in 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, occupying the tower one step ahead is a credit.
Guo Zhongyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then saw two soldiers falling to the ground under the battlement wall next to him. A huge iron jar was abandoned and teetering between two battlements. There was a thick rope on the outer edge 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 artillery weighs more than ten kilograms, and it requires a strong man to throw it to a long distance. Previously, Li Ting's troops were killed and had to retreat, so the iron artillery could not continue to exert its power because it was too far away from the top of the city and could not be thrown even from a high position.
The iron cannon was originally aimed at Guo Ning, who was rushing back and forth several feet in front of Donghua Gate.
But at this moment, Guo Zhongyuan pushed it with his hand, and the iron can fell straight down. With a thud, it landed at the door of Donghua Gate, not far from Hu Shahu who personally held a knife to supervise the battle, causing sand and soil to fly everywhere.
"What a bastard..." Hu Shahu only had time to curse before turning over and walking away.
The next moment, there was a roar, like a thunderbolt.
