Chicheng Bingbeidao He Chongwu always got up very early. Today he was walking in the small courtyard in front of the house, but he felt vaguely upset and was about to go to the study to be alone.
But he saw a servant from the mansion running towards him in a panic, and just as he was about to say something to stop him, he heard the servant say hurriedly: "Sir, there are a few officers and soldiers outside the mansion asking to see you. They said that the general was killed in an attack, and... besides……"
"What...?" He Chongwu was shocked when he heard this.
"Where are the officers and soldiers, which general? What else can you say..."
At this time, the steward He Shen trotted over and said hurriedly: "Sir, it's not good. General Zhang Cheng was killed in an attack. His soldiers came to report his death to you."
"ah……"
He Chongwu was taken aback and asked hurriedly: "When did it happen, go and find out more about it!"
…
Zhang Guodong led his men and horses to the garrison office. On the way, he called Peng Sanwang and shouted: "Big monkey, arrange for someone to lead the three fools and others to block the back door of the garrison office. Don't let anyone go, but any intruders will be shot without mercy." !”
Following the order, a group of sergeants galloped to the other side. Zhang Guodong led more than thirty horsemen behind the big monkey. When they arrived at the gate of the garrison, they heard a "whoosh" sound.
He hurriedly dodged to the side, and the arrow flew across his chest. Zhang Guodong shouted: "Everyone dismount, the first team is on guard, the second team climbs over the wall, the third team breaks the door, kill the thief..."
"Kill the thief...kill the thief..."
Waves of angry shouts resounded through Chongning West Street, and more than thirty knights dismounted one after another. They advanced and retreated in a well-organized manner, with a clear division of labor. Ten of them rushed forward holding round shields in their left hands and spears, spears, and guns in their right hands.
Another ten people rode their horses to the wall of the garrison office. They stood on horseback and helped each other climb up the wall of the official office, and each figure jumped into the office vigorously.
In front of the department door, Zhang Guodong stood there with a long knife in his hand. The monkey had hit it hard three times, but the door did not move at all. Ten sergeants rushed towards him and hit the door.
"...Bang...Bang...Bang..." The sound was heard endlessly, and there was also shouting and cursing inside the department door, as well as the sound of swords and guns clashing, and occasionally a few explosions of three-eyed guns.
The door to the garrison was finally opened, but it wasn't pushed open from the outside. Instead, the team of knights who climbed over the wall drove back the people inside and came over to open the door.
Zhang Guodong shouted: "Leave four people to guard the gate. Don't let anyone go. The rest will follow me and rush in. We must capture the old thief Wu alive."
"kill……"
Everyone shouted loudly and rushed towards the back hall of the garrison. The corner door in this department was not as solid as the main door. The big monkey rushed hard and knocked it open. An arrow flew towards him and hit him. He seemed unaware of his left shoulder.
Several rather strong servants were guarding the door, rushing over with knives and sticks. The big monkey held a round shield in his left hand and blocked an incoming long knife from bottom to top. Stab into the servant's neck.
As the short blade was withdrawn, a blood arrow spurted out, splashing bright red plasma on the big monkey's face. Under the reflection of the morning glow, the flesh on his face was already a bit scary, but now it was even more bloody. .
"He... Hehe..."
The servant threw away the long knife and tried his best to cover the bloody hole on his neck with both hands. He let out a hoarse roar and kept falling back. The remaining servants also kept walking back with horrified faces.
"Peng!"
The servant finally lost his balance and fell to the ground, with bright red juice continuously gushing out from his neck. The remaining servants shouted and turned to run away.
"Bang bang bang..."
Several explosions of three-eyed muskets were heard, and the servants who had not run a few steps fell to the ground and howled miserably. The big monkey roared angrily: "Listen carefully, but if you are armed, kill on the spot. No one will be killed." Leaked……"
In front of the main hall at the back of the garrison, four sergeants held large shields to protect Zhang Guodong. At this time, a loud shout came from the hall: "I am the Chicheng garrison, a fourth-grade military attache of the imperial court. You are waiting for the following offenses to rebel." ?”
Zhang Guodong sneered and shouted: "Commanders, listen to the order. Wu Youlu, the guard at Chicheng, Xue Liangqing, the commander of the Kaiping Guard, and Wu Youqing, Xue Jing, the commander-in-chief, colluded with the mountain bandits, plotted against the superior officials, and attempted to rebel.
Today, under the command of the commander of Wandu City, General Zhang, the general guarding the North Road in the town, ordered that all the rebels be captured and brought to justice. Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot. "
"Kill..."
The big monkey was the first to rush forward with a round shield in hand. As soon as he kicked open the hall door, he saw a figure rushing towards him. The big monkey dodged to the side, holding the round shield in front of his chest. He saw the right moment and used the short blade in his right hand. With a sudden movement, he cut the man's neck open.
A piece of blood spattered out, and as the man fell, it flew everywhere in the hall. Xue Jing shouted: "I will fight with you..."
He held a waist knife and rushed towards the big monkey. With a "bang" sound, Zhang Guodong's long knife swung away Xue Jing's waist knife. The big monkey raised his body and kicked Xue Jing aside.
Several sergeants rushed forward, pushed him to the ground, and tied him up without any explanation. Wu Youqing also held a waist knife in his hand, protecting Wu Youlu.
Although Wu Youlu, the guard of Chicheng who was sitting in the chair, was pretending to be calm, he could not hide the fear in his heart. He said nervously and tremblingly: "I am a guard of the fourth rank of the imperial court. Zhang Cheng has no right to arrest me."
Zhang Guodong looked at him coldly and said in a cold tone: "Big monkey, let him wait for a while, the general will have to watch him wait in public."
With a "peng" sound, Wu Youlu's majestic body slipped from the chair to the ground. He sat on the cold ground with a dejected face, his eyes full of desolation.
"Zhang Cheng can't touch me...I'm a fourth-grade guard...I want to see Mr. Bingxian..."
Amidst Wu Youlu's hoarse roar, Wu Youqing rushed towards Zhang Guodong and shouted at the same time: "I will fight with you..."
Zhang Guodong dodged to avoid Wu Youqing's waist knife, turned around and kicked him to the ground, shouting: "Take it, big monkey, I'll leave it to you."
He turned around and shouted: "Search the backyard, no matter men, women, old or young, don't let anyone go."
…………
While the garrison office was buzzing with fighting and killing, everything was quiet inside the Akagi garrison office.
Although there was no noise or commotion, He Chongwu, the Chicheng soldier, was as shocked as anyone. When he woke up this morning, he received Zhang Cheng's men coming to report his funeral.
But a moment later, the steward He Shen came to report again. Zhang Cheng, the general guarding the Shangbei Road, was outside the office asking to see him. He Chongwu was shocked when he heard this: "What? Who did you say was outside the office asking to see me?"
"Sir, it's Zhang Cheng, the commander of Shangbei Road, who is outside the office asking for an audience."
"Zhang Cheng? Wasn't he killed in an attack? How could he ask for an audience outside the department?"
"I can't say for sure. When I got up early in the morning, it was the sergeants under General Zhang who came to report the funeral. But the person outside the door was really the General. He was just lying on a soft bed and being carried."
Bing Bei He Chongwu looked puzzled and said hurriedly: "Please, please come in quickly, General Zhang Shen."
"Wait a minute, call Jin'er over first, and meet Zhang Cheng with me!"
