Hiding sideways in the dark alley, Zhang Wanyu tried her best to calm down her emotions.
Groups of patrolling soldiers passed by on the avenue outside from time to time, and the tail light of torches swept at Zhang Wanyu's feet from time to time.
Make her shrink back subconsciously.
I don't know if I have noticed the threat coming, but the number and frequency of patrolling soldiers tonight are obviously more than before.
Zhang Wanyu lowered her left hand slightly, holding an exquisite crossbow firmly in her hand.
Behind her, in addition to He Qing'er, there were several muscular men also holding crossbows.
These are all experts transferred by Zhang Wanyu from outside the city.
Although the two parties had already contacted each other, Zhang Wanyu did not dare to transfer too many people from outside.
The King of Nanchang is too keen. Once discovered, they will be in trouble.
Behind the group were four long willow crates.
Looking at the crossbows each of them holds in their hands, you can tell what is in those boxes.
The breeze blew by, and Zhang Wanyu's expression suddenly became stern.
Although they had found enough crossbows tonight, they were unable to deliver them to the right people.
No one in the square gate, street entrance, city gate, or watchtower belongs to them.
In Wuzhou City, they were like blind men whose eyes were poked.
Suddenly, the eastern sky suddenly flashed with light.
You can even vaguely see the raging burning flames.
That's where the grain depot is.
Zhang Wanyu turned her head and looked at He Qing'er behind her, and whispered: "You have succeeded, Aye."
He Qing'er, who was tall and had clear eyes, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When it comes to the life and death of their Aye, few people can turn a blind eye.
"Master, we have to make preparations." He Qing'er threw everything behind her in the blink of an eye and focused on business.
Zhang Wanyu nodded, then looked behind her and waved back slightly.
The next moment, everyone had retreated deeper into the darkness.
It was at this time that bursts of rapid footsteps sounded on the street outside.
Zhang Wanyu kept counting in the dark.
Twenty-five people, half a team of soldiers, were already heading east quickly.
A fire in a grain depot is never a trivial matter.
Under the command of Wuzhou Bing Cao Canjun, there are a total of three hundred soldiers directly under Wuzhou City, the number of a regiment.
But these soldiers are divided into three types of guards: patrol guards, watchtower guards and city gate guards.
The number of guards varies. Among them, the city gate guards have the largest number, with one hundred and eighty soldiers.
Among them, Nancheng is the main entrance of the state city.
The city gate is the largest, so the most soldiers guard it every day.
During the day, there can be as many as fifty people.
Night is half as long as day.
But tonight, almost all the available soldiers have arrived,
Including Fan Ze, the captain of the city gate, there were seventy-five people.
The Art of War says, therefore, the method of using troops is to encircle it by ten, attack it by five, and fight by doubling it. Therefore, the small enemy is strong and the big enemy can be captured.
When the fighting strength of both sides is equal, the siege army must be at least five times the number of defenders in order to successfully attack and capture the city, but the sacrifice is also huge.
Ten times and five times are just approximations, and even five times is just a passing mark.
Although there are five times as many people outside Tianyin Sect's city as there are city gates, don't forget that they are only city gates. As long as the guards delay, countless troops will immediately rush over.
Let alone hundreds, even thousands, as long as they are given time, they can come up with it.
In that battle that year, the Tianyin Sect's biggest failure was to build up the confidence of officials from all sides of the court.
They no longer regard the Tianyin Sect as water and fire. In their eyes, the Tianyin Sect can be defeated.
So attack
It is absolutely not advisable, you must use clever tactics and techniques to seize the door.
Twenty-five people left, and only fifty people were left at the city gate.
Not long after, a quarrel came from the city gate.
In the darkness, Zhang Wanyu's mouth showed a hint of pride, because it was her person who was in charge of calling for help at the city gate.
The King of Nanchang thought that Zhang Wanyu was letting Chen Ming enter Dingxingfang to incite the believers, but in fact it was just a false shot.
Zhang Wanyu's real trump card has never been with the followers, but with Fang Zheng.
The people sent by Fang Zheng to call for help will not only expand the matter countless times, but also ask the city gate guards to assist as much as possible.
The most important thing is that a quarrel between the two sides will inevitably shake the morale of the military.
Sure enough, someone seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and the quarrel ended quickly.
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded, quickly moved away, and finally disappeared completely.
A group of manpower was sent to Dingxingfang, and there were fewer people guarding the city gate.
At this moment, Zhang Wanyu's face became extremely solemn. She reached out and touched her arms. She took out a firework and then fired it without hesitation.
A beautiful firework suddenly bloomed high in the sky.
In an instant, the city gate tower was completely illuminated, and the faces of the people on the city wall were dazed with a hint of panic.
The fireworks were completely extinguished in an instant.
Zhang Wanyu hid in the darkness, counting silently in her heart, while also maxing out her ears, 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 extremely 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 soldier from Jinhua, shouted loudly from the city wall.
Fan Ze, the captain of the city gate, looked down from the crenellations, frowned, and shouted loudly: "Brother Jin Ming, the King of Nanchang has an order. No one is allowed to enter the city gate tonight. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
"Brother Qingshan, I also came under orders. Your Majesty has already issued an order. Once there are shouts of killing in the city, Jinhua County is required to send people to help immediately. I have an official document from Ning County. In addition, Your Majesty also specially gave the governor a special document. Command arrow." Kang Duo kept waving the command arrow in his hand.
"The county magistrate's official document, the governor's order and arrows." Fan Ze was stunned for a moment, then his brows furrowed.
The county magistrate's official document is nothing more, the key is the governor's order.
Without this governor's order, even if the King of Heaven comes, there is no way he can enter Wuzhou City tonight.
But Fan Ze had heard about the previous order from the King of Nanchang. Now that he had received the order from the governor, it was difficult for Fan Ze to refuse.
Many people in Wuzhou knew that the King of Nanchang had the governor's order.
After all, he used to rely on the governor's order to act in Dongyang.
Although he was reluctant and looked very unhappy, Fan Ze shouted towards the city: "Put the official documents and the command arrows into the spider plant."
Kang Duo put the official document and the governor's order arrow into the spider plant without any hesitation.
As the spider plant rose, Kang Duo picked up the governor's order arrow, and then looked at the official document of Jinhua County Magistrate Ning Yi.
Fan Ze's face was filled with surprise. The arrows ordered by the governor were genuine, and there were no problems with the official documents from Jinhua.
Soon, Fan Ze's voice came from above the city gate: "I have been ordered to open only one city gate tonight. Only entry is allowed, no exit is allowed. You will understand later."
"Understood." Kang Duo replied loudly, then looked to the east side where the flames were burning and shouted: "Hurry up and open the door so we can rush to the grain depot to put out the fire."
This urging gave Fan Ze no longer any reason to delay or refute.
He waved his hand helplessly, and then, the city gate on the left slowly opened in an instant.
Kang Duo immediately gritted his teeth and rushed in. A whole team of blue-clad soldiers behind him also rushed in.
The first moment he rushed into the city gate, Kang Duo
He immediately prepared to call for help 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, there are four or five huge bluestones blocking it.
With only four or five pieces, these bluestones completely blocked the entire 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 like he was being plotted.
Only allowed in but not allowed out.
Could it be...
"Hall Master!" The subordinates on one side couldn't help but call beside him.
The true identity of the hall master, the so-called "Kang Duo", is actually Lin Jie, the deputy hall master of Muzhou Hall of Tianyin Sect.
I don't know who has such superb disguise skills, and made Lin Jie and Jinhua Bingcao Canjun Kang Duo look very similar.
Not only that, they even forged Ning Yi's official documents and stamped them with a big seal, which was somewhat outrageous.
Lin Jie shook his head and put all this behind him.
Looking at the dim Zhoucheng Street in front of him, Lin Jie gritted his teeth, waved his hand and shouted: "Enter the city, everyone, hurry up and enter the city."
Now that they are in, no one can let them out again.
Lin Jie gave an order, and more black soldiers rushed into Wuzhou City from his side.
Wuzhou City seems to be defenseless.
At this moment, Lin Jie grabbed two of his confidants, pulled them aside, and shouted coldly and urgently: "You two stay here for me, even if you die, they can't close the city gate... It's the city." The door has to be closed, and you have to block it with your own bodies; remember, if anything happens, you will be the brothers' last resort."
"Don't worry, Master, we will definitely retaliate with death." The faces of the two henchmen were filled with a look of resignation.
At this time, Lin Jie took a step back, clasped his hands, and said respectfully: "Goddess Tianyin, enjoy the eternal glory of the gods."
"Goddess Tianyin, enjoy the divine status forever."
Lin Jie strode out of the city gate. He immediately subconsciously looked at the alleys on both sides and the city gate tower above his head.
However, the strange thing was that there was no Wuzhou soldier within his sight.
Even Fan Ze from before was nowhere to be seen.
This is wrong, this is very wrong.
However, at this time, Lin Jie had no way out. He could only stride forward and rush towards the agreed direction.
He couldn't help but look back, and suddenly he saw in the darkness at the end of his sight, figures rushing towards the city gate while the city gate was still open.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Lin Jie turned around and saw a figure suddenly appear in the street in front of him.
Zhang Wanyu, the head of Tianyin Sect's Yuhang Hall, is currently in charge of all affairs of Wuzhou Hall.
Zhang Wanyu is also the fiancée of Lin Jie's cousin Fang Yunxiu.
In an instant, Lin Jie saw a willow box being dragged out of an alley.
The moment he saw the box, Lin Jie's eyes turned red. He waved his hand back and shouted, "Run!"
Without any hesitation at all, Lin Jie quickly rushed towards the box.
At this moment, Lin Jie only had that box in his eyes.
There are only countless crossbows contained in that box.
Almost instantly, Lin Jie rushed to Zhang Wanyu's side, then quickly turned over and dismounted.
But the moment he dismounted, he hit Zhang Wanyu hard and knocked her into the alley behind. At the same time, he shouted coldly: "Hurry up!"
"Leave?" Zhang Wanyu was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
But at this time, a hand had already grabbed Zhang Wanyu's arm and pulled her deeper into the darkness.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wanyu finally reacted, shook her head violently, shook off He Qing'er's hand, and at the same time backhanded her
He grabbed her wrist and asked urgently: "What happened?"
"This is a trap." At this time, He Qing'er, regardless of her wrist being grabbed by Zhang Wanyu, quickly went deeper into the alley, and at the same time said: "The city gate's reaction was wrong."
Zhang Wanyu's brows jumped wildly and she let go of He Qing'er's hand.
In an instant, Zhang Wanyu had turned back and looked in Lin Jie's direction.
At the end of the alley, Lin Jie had already opened the box.
She understood that Lin Jie was going to make a last ditch effort.
Give it a try, there's still a chance.
But, just in case...
