One Piece of Song Dynasty

Pharmacist Guo was familiar with the roads and terrain here. He pointed with his riding crop at the dark woods in front of him and said to Yang Keshi: "Let's rest in this woods tonight and wait until daybreak before entering the city. "

Yang Keshi nodded in agreement. Yang Keshi, Gao Shixuan, Zhao Heshou, Yang Kebi and other Song generals were all unfamiliar with this place, and everything had to be arranged by Medicine Master Guo.

The trees in this poplar forest are very tall and the woodland is very open, stretching for dozens of miles. It was late autumn, and there were piles of fallen leaves on the ground. Six thousand cavalry entered the forest and dismounted to rest. To the north of the woods is a main east-west road.

Pharmacist Guo said to Yang Keshi: "This road leads directly to Yingchun Gate, the east gate of Yanjing City. After dawn, there will be some people entering the city on this road, and some carriages carrying firewood into the city. I arranged for some people to follow these people. Sneak into the city and seize the city gate first."

Yang Keshi nodded and said: "Seizing the city gate is the key. If we can seize the city gate, things will be easier to handle."

Pharmacist Guo then found Zhen Wuchen and said to him: "You immediately select fifty elite soldiers and set up a commando team. You will lead the team. The main task is to seize the Yingchun Gate tomorrow morning. You must select those who are agile, flexible and not afraid." Dead people.”

Zhen Wuchen is a confidant of Medicine Master Guo and has been with Medicine Master Guo for several years. He is brave, resourceful, bold and careful. He quickly set up a commando team, and the commandos he selected were all strong men from Yan, tall and strong. Zhen Wuchen gathered them and asked Pharmacist Guo to review them.

In the darkness, the faces of the commandos were a little blurry and they couldn't be seen clearly. Pharmacist Guo looked at them and said: "Brothers, after dawn, you have to disguise yourself as common people and sneak into the city, and then quickly capture the Yingchun Gate. You are the key to whether we can capture Yanjing City this time. Are you confident?"

Fifty commandos responded in unison: "Yes."

At this time, it was already late at night, the sky was full of stars, the fields were quiet, and a few birds occasionally murmured from deep in the woods, as if they were talking in their sleep.

The commandos took the time to change into civilian clothes. They wore green turbans and round-neck robes, looking like ordinary people. Each of them carried two sharp daggers and sat around under the tree, waiting for dawn.

The woods gradually became brighter, but the scenery in the distance was still a bit blurry. Through the treetops, one can see patches of white fish belly exposed in the blue sky in the east.

On the road, pedestrians were already passing by. Zhen Wuchen looked at Pharmacist Guo, who nodded. Zhen Wuchen stood up and waved to the commandos: "Let's go"

I saw five team members walking quietly out of the woods. Some were carrying vegetable baskets, some were carrying bundles of firewood, and some were carrying bamboo baskets. They walked back and forth, pretending not to know each other, and walked along the road. Go west.

The fifty team members were divided into ten groups. They set off in groups and soon merged into the flow of people entering the city.

The east gate of Yanjing City is called Yingchun Gate. More and more people are waiting to enter the city outside the gate, and they gradually form a long queue. At dawn, the city gates opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and people began to enter or leave the city one by one. There are five or six city guards on duty at the city gate. They hold weapons and inspect pedestrians entering the city one by one.

Zhen Wuchen was very tall, standing a head taller than the people around him in the crowd. He looked back and forth and exchanged glances with the team members, which meant that they would proceed as planned. He looked up at the city gate tower and found many Liao soldiers walking back and forth in the stands.

The first group of team members has entered Wengcheng. This urn city is square and small in scale. The other groups also quickened their pace and quickly gathered in Wengcheng.

Two gatekeepers turned over one team member's vegetable basket and were about to check another team member's bamboo basket. Suddenly, one team member slapped the other team member's waist with a pole. The two yelled at each other, pushed and struggled. . They are deliberately causing chaos. Five or six soldiers were attracted by them. The soldiers shouted and surrounded them with weapons in hand.

Seeing that the time was right, Zhen Wuchen decisively raised his arms and waved them in the air, and the other groups quickly rushed forward. I saw two or three team members dealing with one soldier, and two or three daggers were inserted into the soldier's chest and back almost at the same time. Blood suddenly burst out, splattering on the people around him.

People were frightened and stunned by this unexpected incident. Screams, exclamations, and shouts were tragic and tragic, and the scene suddenly fell into chaos. Some people ran to the city, and some people ran to the outside of the city. It was crowded and trampled, and it was a mess.

Faced with the chaos, Zhen Wuchen was very calm. He ordered his team members to quickly close the Wengcheng gate, then divided his troops into two groups, rushed along the steps on both sides of the gate, and rushed toward the gate tower.

The Liao soldiers who were on duty on the tower had already heard the screams downstairs and saw the crowd running around. They hurried downstairs and cursed constantly.

Suddenly, the Liao soldiers were shocked when they saw a group of common people rushing onto the tower. Just as they were about to scold them, they saw a dagger flashing in front of their eyes and piercing their throats. Their arteries were punctured, and blood spurted like fountains onto the gray brick walls.

Suddenly, more than a dozen Liao soldiers sprang out from the city tower. They held long guns and charged at the commando team. In an instant, the commando team killed several members on the spot. Faced with the threat of the long guns, the team members stared blankly with daggers in hand and had to retreat step by step.

Zhen Wuchen also stepped back a few steps. Suddenly, he found a crossbow standing next to the red pillar. He rushed over with a single step, quickly aimed the crossbow at the Liao soldiers, and fired a volley of arrows. More than a dozen Liao soldiers were shot by crossbows in an instant, and most of the arrows passed through them, which shows how powerful the crossbows are.

Several team members rushed forward, grabbed their spears, and stabbed the Liao soldiers, dead or alive. Now, after a fierce fight, all the Liao soldiers guarding the city gate were eliminated by the commandos, and Yingchun Gate was completely controlled by the commandos.

Zhen Wuchen quickly ran to the tower stand, carefully took out two bamboo flame bombs from his arms, fixed them on a bracket, and lit them with fire. Just two chissing sounds were heard, and two flames rose into the sky. Then, two booming booms were heard, two flame bombs exploded in the air, and then several lines of gray-white smoke slowly fell from the sky.

Guo Yaoshi and Yang Keshi had already gathered their team. They looked anxiously in the direction of Yanjing in the woods. Suddenly, they saw two flame bombs rising above the east gate of Yanjing City.

Pharmacist Guo shouted loudly: "The commando team succeeded." The Chang Sheng Army cheered.

Pharmacist Guo immediately led the team to set off. He took the lead and quickly rushed out of the woods. Yang Keshi, Gao Shixuan, Zhao Heshou, Yang Kebi, etc. also each led their troops to quickly advance towards Yanjing City.
