The night was deep, and the entire city of Hangzhou was immersed in darkness, making it extremely peaceful.
Outside the mainland gate in the south of the city, in a low courtyard, the wind brought out a faint rustling sound.
"Wenzhong, tell me, where is the King of Nanchang now?"
The voice was very low, and under the faint light of the new moon, countless densely packed figures could be clearly seen standing in the courtyard.
Wen Xu wore a silver chainmail and stood at the front, looking sideways at his companions.
Wen Zhong, who was in his thirties, held a long knife tightly in his hand and was also wearing a silver chainmail. Although his expression was a little nervous, he still said seriously: "I should have arrived in Dengzhou. This time it seems that the imperial court We need to take good care of the Silla people. But having said that, those Silla people really need to be taken care of."
Wenzhong did not have much favorable impressions of Silla, or in other words, most people in the Tang Dynasty did not have a favorable impression of the capricious Silla people.
"It's not that simple." Wen Xu shook his head slightly and didn't explain much.
Among the black pawns who surrendered to Wushengdao, only Wenxu knew the whole story about the connection between King Donghai and Silla.
It was not easy for the Tang Dynasty to conquer Silla this time. Similarly, it was not easy for Silla to defeat the Tang Dynasty like Goguryeo.
Wen Xu raised his head, looked at the night sky in the north, and said with some regret: "I shouldn't have provoked the King of Nanchang in the first place. I just wanted to use the King of Nanchang to send a few people to the Hangzhou Navy to investigate the Navy's movements. If they were investigated later, It turns out that the female officer in the navy was put in by the King of Nanchang, and I could take the opportunity to trick him. I didn’t expect that he would notice it from the beginning.”
"The main altar was destroyed, and the King of Nanchang was the culprit. It's a pity that he let him run away this time, otherwise his head would have to be sacrificed to the flag." Wenzhong gritted his teeth.
Li Xuan, who was far away at sea, had no idea that he was being clicked by others all the time.
"It doesn't matter, I ran away this time, just kill once and then kill again when I encounter you." Wen Xu raised his head, looked at the south city gate, glanced up at the thin crescent moon, and said softly: "Okay, it's almost time. "
As soon as Wen Xu finished speaking, at this moment, two of the six torches that had been burning on the south city gate suddenly went out in an instant.
In an instant, everyone in the entire courtyard clenched the long knives in their hands.
Wen Xu didn't look back, he just said lightly: "Go!"
Following the order, the courtyard door in front was quickly opened. The next moment, hundreds of black-clad soldiers rushed out without any hesitation, gritting their teeth and rushing towards the south gate.
Just as a group of people rushed to the South City Gate, the South City Gate was all opened in an instant.
The beautiful and rich city of Hangzhou was completely opened to their eyes.
"The people at the city gate have been knocked out and will not wake up for two or three hours." A spy dressed like a soldier flashed out from the shadows under the city gate.
Wen Xu nodded, turned to look at Wen Zhong, and said quickly: "After entering Nancheng, except for sending a small number of people to set fire to the designated targets, the others immediately attacked the watchtower. After taking the watchtower, and the people who came in from the West City Wen Xiao met up and headed east together to capture the Dongshui City Gate, escort Wen Yi and the Zhoushan people into the city, and then..."
"Go west immediately, leave the city from Xishui City, cross the West Lake and escape into the city." Wen Zhong told Wen Xu's earlier arrangement without any hesitation.
Wenxu nodded and said: "There are not many soldiers in Hangzhou, so they are not worth fearing. The key is Yuezhou. The earlier alerting the enemy may have made Yuan Jiazuo wary. If we are targeted by the Kuaiji soldiers, we can escape if we want." It’s not easy anymore.”
"Yes!" Wenzhong nodded.
The last time the Tianyin Sect rebelled, they were not unprepared to take action, but the Kuaiji Prefecture soldiers did not give them any chance to take action. Even if they had not escaped quickly, and there was Wenxu, the lieutenant of Xiaoshan County, Help, I'm afraid all of them are already dead.
"Time is not with me!" Wen Xu sighed, then his eyes became cold and solemn, and he shouted in a low voice: "Kill!"
The next moment, hundreds of black-clad soldiers rushed into Hangzhou City, and a few people marched towards the nearby wealthy people.
The households were killed, and more people were heading towards the watchtower at the end of the street.
Wenxu did not move forward, but fell at the end, with a group of soldiers following him silently.
Looking at the many subordinates leaving, Wen Xu felt increasingly uneasy.
He knew that his worries were definitely not frivolous. Since the last time he alerted someone, neither he nor Guan Mi nor even Xue Zhongzhang were allowed to have access to the real secrets of Hangzhou Mansion.
As for what this secret is, Wen Xu, Guan Mi and Xue Zhongzhang don't even know at all.
As for the reason behind this, Wenxu felt that there should be many reasons. The appearance of himself and Guan Mi that day was so strange that even Guan Mi was a little suspicious of Wenxu. If Wenxu hadn't spent a lot of money to stabilize Guan Mi, , it’s hard to say what the consequences will be.
In addition, they were too close to Xue Zhongzhang, which made Li Xuan defensive.
Fortunately, the King of Nanchang has now left Hangzhou.
"Let's go, we have our own goals to achieve." Wen Xu glanced behind him, and the guards behind him quickly followed.
In the blink of an eye, a group of people were quickly chasing the black pawn in front.
At the same time, Wen Xu also looked around very vigilantly, as if looking for any trace of a possible trap.
If anything goes wrong, he will leave immediately.
Wenxu was very careful. These people under him were the foundation for his ability to gain a foothold under the King of East China Sea.
Once these people are severely injured, they will have no effect in the eyes of the King of East China Sea.
It is precisely because of this that Wen Xu made a plan to evacuate from the west gate as soon as he captured the Hangzhou city gate.
Leave the entire prosperous city of Hangzhou and all subsequent hidden dangers to the Zhoushan pirates.
Of course, these people came to Hangzhou not just to cause trouble.
In front of the southeast watchtower, the two black pawn teams quickly merged and rushed towards the watchtower like a black tide.
At this moment, extremely precise long arrows shot out from the dark watchtower, and the black pawn holding the torch fell to the ground in an instant.
Wen Zhong and Wen Xiao were directing their men to rush towards the watchtower crazily, but for a while, they were unable to completely capture the watchtower.
Wen Xu stopped for a moment, raised his head and looked eastward. At the Dongshui Gate in the distance, waves of commotion had begun.
It was obvious that some people wanted to go to the watchtower for support, but some were unwilling, fearing that this would be a tactic to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
There was a hint of pride in the corner of Wen Xu's mouth. The entire city of Hangzhou had not yet fully awakened in the middle of the night, but the fires ignited in the West City and South City had already made many alert people dare not act rashly.
A few miles north of the watchtower, the Hangzhou Governor's Mansion was even more silent.
The officials in Hangzhou have long been accustomed to Yuan Jiazuo's method of demitting duties when the time comes, and now there is no one in the state government.
Everything is under control,
Wen Xu glanced at the resisting Southeast Watchtower, with a sneer on his lips. The next moment, he had quickly passed by everyone, and then disappeared silently into the darkness of the northern street.
Countless arrows were shot out from the watchtower crazily, as if there were countless archers in the watchtower.
Gradually, Wen Zhong and Wen Xiao noticed something was wrong.
At first, they thought it was the crossbow stored in the watchtower, but now that the crossbow had finished shooting, more long arrows were shot out without any weakening.
No, Hangzhou City was prepared.
Wen Zhong and Wen Xiao looked at each other with particularly embarrassed expressions, because they didn't know whether such preparations were just in the watchtower, or in the entire city of Hangzhou; or whether everything at the moment was a trap.
But now they don't have much choice. The two of them looked east at the same time, and the gate of Dongshui City was still quiet.
I don’t know what the two people were muttering to each other. The next moment, the two people had led a group of people to climb to the roofs of the buildings on both sides, using the darkness to make no sound.
lurking towards the watchtower
In order to cover the two of them, even the number of people attacking the watchtower below was reduced a lot. The key was that there were a lot fewer torches.
In this case, the torch is even a target.
With a "swish" sound, a long arrow shot past, and the last torch was immediately extinguished. The entire street fell into strange darkness in an instant.
But at the next moment, countless huge sounds of fighting came from the southeast water gate.
In an instant, the fire illuminated half of the sky in the distance.
The Zhoushan pirates finally came and killed them.
At this moment, two black waves on the southwest sides of the watchtower rushed towards the watchtower at the same time. No one lit the torch, and they all went to kill in the dark. In an instant, countless long arrows were shot from the watchtower, but the lethality was no longer enough. .
At the same time, a dozen black pawns suddenly jumped from the roofs on both sides, and rushed to the watchtower in just a few steps. The next moment, they could directly open the watchtower building and rush in.
At this moment, the fire lit up.
Endless firelight suddenly lit up from above the watchtower, and with a "bang", the watchtower door opened instantly, followed by countless long arrows aimed directly at the dozen black pawns in front of the watchtower.
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
Including Wenzhong and Wenxiao, because in front of them were indeed more than a dozen archers.
This is only the first floor. The second, third and fourth floors of the watchtower are all filled with archers.
As the fire ignited layer by layer, dozens of archers with bows and arrows appeared clearly in front of all the black soldiers.
The long arrow was also illuminated in an instant, and every black pawn felt that he was nailed to death by the long arrow.
Under the crisis of life and death, they were even more disappointed that they actually fell into the trap of others.
"Bang, bang, bang..." There was a sound, and the doors of more than a dozen shops on the streets on both sides suddenly opened. The next moment, in the bright firelight, a Kuaiji soldier named Bingzhi Changshan appeared in front of everyone, with a sharp gun. The blade makes people feel cold in their hearts.
A Zhechong captain appeared in everyone's eyes. This man was none other than Yan Tao, the former Wuzhou soldier Cao who joined the army.
Looking at the hundreds of black soldiers in front of him, Yan Tao waved his hand without hesitation: "Kill!"
Countless arrows fell into the black soldiers in an instant, causing endless killing and bloodshed in an instant.
The bows, arrows and crossbows were fired one after another, and then, with the sound of firm footsteps, a Kuaiji soldier came out with his long spear raised.
Yan Tao didn't look much and turned around to look at Dongshui Gate.
If nothing unexpected happens, after this time, Jiangnan's hidden dangers will be completely eliminated.
