Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

On the small road to Gu'an, a team of more than 12,000 horses marched quietly.

These more than 12,000 horses were all light cavalry. They tied up their horses, lowered their flags and wrapped their armor, and galloped away silently.

This group of troops was exactly what Jiang Hongfei sent to surprise Yanjing.

They were mainly composed of the Ma 4th Army led by Yang Zhi, the Ma 5th Army led by Hua Rong, the Ma 11th Army led by Xu Ning, and the Ma 12th Army led by Gu Jian.

When Jiang Hongfei selected the generals to surprise Yanjing City, almost all the generals wanted to complete this task that would leave a mark in history.

How could Jiang Hongfei not know what the generals were thinking? However, he had to take into account the decisive battle with the Liao army and ensure that the surprise attack on Yanjing was foolproof. On the basis of these two, he could give this opportunity to his cronies.

Such a character should be reused even here by Jiang Hongfei.

Some people fled to the city, while others fled outside the city. The crowds were crowded, stampedes occurred frequently, and the scene was in a mess.

Wu Yong knew Zhu Ding's muddling-around temperament very well. He never believed that Zhu Ding took the task of seizing the city gate just to gain credit. Zhu Ding was not such a person at all.

As soon as Zhu Tong said this, many people showed surprise.

Seeing that Wu Yong and others had no opinions, Hua Rong said: "In this way, capturing the city gate is the key. If we can capture the city gate, the surprise attack on Yanjing will be half successful."

Therefore, today, Zhu Tong took the initiative to ask for help, which surprised everyone!

Zhu Tong looked at Guo Yaoshi, Hua Rong, Wu Yong and others. They nodded and watched these people who dared to die.

Jiang Hongfei arranged this because Jiang Hongfei fully absorbed the historical experience of Guo Yaoshi and Yang Keshi's failed surprise attack on Yanjing.

It's not like no one has tried to persuade Zhu Tong, but Zhu Tong always smiled slightly and was noncommittal, and then it remained the same.

This was an orchestrated chaos.

But it has been quite some time since Zhu Tong went to Liangshan, but he is still a deputy commander of the Ma Twelve Army, and has not even been able to lead an army on his own.

Hearing two sounds of "chi" and "chi", two firelights rose into the sky, then exploded in the air, and several lines of gray-white smoke slowly fell down.

Five or six Liao soldiers were attracted by this scene. They gathered around with weapons in hand and shouted at them: "What are you doing? You dare to make a loud noise in front of the city gate!"

Zhu Tong quickly flew to the tower stand, took out two bamboo flame bombs from his arms, and lit them.

At this time, more than a dozen Liao soldiers rushed out from the tower. They held long spears and launched a fierce attack on the commandos.

Wu Yong asked calmly: "Why does Brother Xian want to carry out this arduous and dangerous task in person?"

Then, each leader selected the best among the best in each army, and Zhu Dian gathered them for everyone to review.

After listening to Pharmacist Guo's explanation, Wu Yong nodded, and Li Gang, Chen Yu, Chen Kangbo and others also recognized Pharmacist Guo's explanation.

The commandos took the time to change into civilian clothes. They wore green headscarves and round-neck robes, just like the common people of Yan. They carried sharp daggers and sat around under the trees, quietly waiting for the arrival of dawn. .

After everyone had settled in and had eaten military rations, Pharmacist Guo said to Hua Rong and the others: "This road by the forest leads directly to the Yingchun Gate, the east gate of Yanjing City. After dawn, there will be some common people entering the city on this road, and some entering the city." We will arrange for some powerful Qigong warriors to follow these people into the city to transport the firewood carriage, first seize the city gate, and then fight into the city."

Seeing Zhu Tong's bravery, the commandos also grabbed the spears dropped by the Liao soldiers, rushed forward, and fought with the Liao soldiers guarding the city gate.

Zhu Tong's situation is well known to everyone in Shuibo Liangshan. There are some who don't understand, some who feel sorry for him, and some who hate that iron cannot become steel.

Facing the threat of long guns, the commandos held short knives but were helpless and could only retreat step by step.

Fifty commandos responded in unison: "Yes!"

I saw five commandos quietly walking out of the woods. Some of them carried baskets full of vegetables on their shoulders, some carried bundles of firewood, and some carried light bamboo baskets. They deliberately kept a certain distance. , pretending not to know each other, heading west along the winding road.

Rather, Zhu Tong was forced to go to Liangshan by Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Li Kui, and he did not want to fall into trouble at all.

Yaoshi Guo agreed: "Yes, so General Hua must select fifty powerful, flexible, and unafraid of death Qi practitioners to form a commando team and seize the Yingchun Gate tomorrow morning."

Therefore, Hua Rong and others followed the advice of Pharmacist Guo, and all the more than 12,000 horses entered the forest to rest.

This platoon crossbow is equipped with three groups of crossbows. Each group can fire eight sharp arrows at a time. During a salvo, it can fire 24 sharp arrows at a time. It is extremely lethal and is a very effective city defense weapon.

After comprehensive consideration, Jiang Hongfei appointed Hua Rong as the capital commander of the surprise attack on Yanjing, and Yang Zhi, Xu Ning, and Gu Jian as deputy commanders to lead their respective troops to complete this glorious and arduous task.

But Zhu Tong always remained calm in the chaos. He quickly directed the commandos to close the gate of Wengcheng, then divided into two groups, rushed along the steps on both sides of the gate, and quickly rushed towards the gate tower.

Zhu Tong heard this and said, "I will take the people there myself."

This also makes Zhu Ding not pay attention to anything he does. He will do whatever tasks are given to him, without taking the initiative, refusing, or being active.

Under the leadership of Guo Yaoshi, who was very familiar with the road, Hua Rong and others led 12,000 men and horses to Gu'an without any danger. They secretly crossed the Marco Polo River from the west of Gu'an, then detoured to Anci, and arrived at Gu'an the next day. At midnight, I arrived in front of a village called Sanjiadian in the east of Yanjing City without anyone noticing.

Zhu Tong immediately threw away his crossbow, picked up a long spear, and rushed into the Liao soldiers, killing people and killing Buddhas.

After a fierce fight, all the Liao soldiers guarding the city gate were eliminated by the commandos, and the Yingchun Gate was immediately completely controlled by the commandos.

Jiang Hongfei sent another civilian team to Hua Rong and the others.

Hua Rong immediately got on his horse and shouted loudly: "The commando team succeeded, follow me into Yanjing City!"

Is it because Jiang Hongfei doesn't recognize or value talents?

Having said this, Pharmacist Guo looked at Zhu Tong's beautiful beard and it was self-evident.

Zhu Tong didn't even hesitate and said: "This is the national justice. Zhu Tong has no shirking duty and will die without regrets."

Or does Jiang Hongfei have any opinion on Zhu Tong and doesn't trust him?

Not at all.

It's early autumn, and even late at night in the north, it's not cold.

A commando's abdomen was torn open by a spear, his intestines fell out, and he fell to the ground groaning in pain.

The fifty commandos were divided into ten teams. They embarked on their journey separately and soon merged into the bustling flow of people entering the city.

As soon as Zhu Tong said this, many people were moved by it, and Wu Yong also felt relieved - this is like Zhu Tong's style.

At the city gate guard, five or six Liao soldiers held weapons and rigorously inspected every pedestrian entering the city.

Other groups of commandos also quickened their pace and quickly assembled towards Wengcheng.

In this civil service team, there were not only Wu Yong, a military advisor, but also great political talents such as Li Gang, Chen Yu, Chen Kangbo, etc., as well as a large number of capable officials and officials who had settled in Liangshan.

Zhu Tong also took a few steps back.

Zhu Tong immediately understood how ordinary people could have such an exquisite beard like his. If he pretended to be a commoner and captured the city gate with such a beard, he would probably be spotted by the Liao soldiers guarding the city. .

Hua Rong looked at them and said: "Brothers, after dawn, you have to disguise yourself as common people and sneak into the city and quickly capture the Yingchun Gate. You are the key to whether we can capture Yanjing City this time! Do you have confidence?"

Suddenly, two gatekeepers began to check one commando's vegetable basket. Just as they were about to check another commando's bamboo basket, one commando deliberately hit the other commando's waist with a carrying pole, and the two immediately quarreled loudly. got up and even started pushing and fighting.

Under such circumstances, how could Jiang Hongfei promote Zhu Tong? Zhu Tong can only be allowed to serve as his deputy.

In the darkness, the faces of the commandos were a little blurry and they couldn't be seen clearly, but their aura of disregard for death still infected everyone.

Soon, Zhu Tong discovered a crossbow standing next to the red pillar.

But instead of grabbing credit, Wu Yong couldn't figure out why Zhu Dian took the initiative to take on this task?

Another commando was stabbed in the chest, blood gushed out, and he died on the spot.

More than a dozen Liao soldiers were immediately hit by crossbows and fell down.

In addition, in order to ensure that this surprise attack on Yanjing is foolproof.

People were shocked by the sudden battle. Screams, exclamations, and shouts came one after another, and the scene fell into chaos.

If Liu Yanqing had sent some people who could make suggestions and control the situation in Yanjing City to Guo Yaoshi and Yang Keshi, Guo Yaoshi and Yang Keshi would not have all entered Yanjing City and asked Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian to do so. type it out.

Wu Yong asked cautiously: "Our Liangshan Army is fighting a decisive battle with the Liao Army more than ten miles away. Will Yanjing open the Spring Festival Gate as usual?"

Another point is that Wu Yong has a dark heart, so he is very worried that something will go wrong with Zhu Dian and ruin the major event of Shui Bo Liangshan, so he tested Zhu Dian.

As the sky gets brighter, the distant scenery gradually becomes clearer. Through the treetops, you can see the fish-belly white gradually emerging in the eastern sky. The light mist shuttles between the trees, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to the woods.

Zhu Tong leaped forward, grabbed the crossbow in his hand, pulled the trigger, and fired a volley of arrows.

Zhu Tong is eight feet four and five feet tall, standing among the crowd as if he stands out from the crowd. He looked around, exchanged a tacit look with the team members, and signaled them to proceed as planned. He looked up at the city gate tower again and found that there were many Liao soldiers patrolling above.

With the arrival of dawn, in anticipation of Zhu Tong and others, the city gate slowly opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and people began to enter or leave the city in an orderly manner.

Because it was a long-distance attack, with a forced march of more than 300 miles in a day and night, the surprise attack personnel and horses were very tired and needed to rest.

I saw that each Liao soldier was besieged by two or three commandos. The short knife quickly shuttled between the chest and back of the Liao soldier, and blood spattered on the people around him. The scene was bloody and tragic.

Soon, the first group of commandos had successfully entered Wengcheng.

The other team members responded immediately and rushed forward quickly.

The Liao soldiers on duty on the tower heard the screams downstairs and saw the crowd fleeing in all directions. They ran downstairs in panic, calling for reinforcements.

Seeing this, Zhu Tong decisively raised his arm and waved it in the air.

On the road, pedestrians were passing by one after another. From a distance, the gate of Yanjing City seemed to be opening as scheduled.

Unexpectedly, Pharmacist Guo on the side said: "General Zhu has a good heart, but..."

Pharmacist Guo explained: "Yanjing City is a large city with a population of 300,000. It consumes a lot of materials. However, the resources in the city are scarce. Food and clothing, even firewood and even good water, have to be supplied from outside the city. Otherwise, Life in Yanjing City was difficult to endure for even three to five days. Moreover, the excrement in the city had to be pulled out of the city to irrigate the fields, otherwise the city would stink. Therefore, even if it was a battle outside the city, as long as it did not reach the city walls, Yanjing City also has at least two gates, one of which is the Yingchun Gate. "

The trees in this poplar forest are very tall and the woodland is very open. It stretches for dozens of miles and can easily hide a hundred thousand people.

Zhu Tong is a smooth and forthright man who values ​​righteousness over wealth. He only saves people in emergencies, does not hesitate to be friends with money, and he also has outstanding martial arts skills, wisdom and courage. He is really a superior person.

Hua Rong and others, who had already gathered the team in the woods and looked anxiously towards Yanjing City, were overjoyed when they saw this!

Moreover, in order to avoid such a big mistake in the Liangshan Army, before Guo Yaoshi, Hua Rong, Wu Yong, Li Gang, Chen Yu, and Chen Kangbo set off, Jiang Hongfei personally held a meeting with them and explained what he could expect. All precautions should be taken, and a clear division of labor should be given to them so that their reporting lines are clear...

Also, Zhu Tong was extremely uninterested in official career, and he was not interested in fame and wealth at all.

But all he saw was a short knife flashing before his eyes, and it had already pierced his throat. Blood spurted onto the gray brick wall like a fountain, forming shocking scenes.

Zhu Tong took a deep breath, then stood up and waved to the commandos: "Let's go!"

The east gate of Yanjing City was named Yingchun Gate, and the number of people waiting to enter the city gradually increased, forming a long queue.

You know, Jiang Hongfei has a reputation for knowing people.

Zhu Tong didn't waste any time. He directly drew out his sword and cut off the beautiful beard on his face that he had cultivated for an unknown number of years.

At this time, late night has passed, the sky is picturesquely decorated with starlight, and the earth has fallen into tranquility. In this moment of complete silence, only the occasional chirping of birds broke the silence, as if they were telling stories in a dream.

Seeing this scene, many people felt sorry for Zhu Tong, but even more people admired him.

Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need to say more. The matter of seizing the city gate naturally falls on Zhu Tong.

Zhu Tong lit two signal bombs to signal to Hua Rong and others: the commando team had successfully occupied Yingchun Gate.

The key point is that Hua Rong and others are very unfamiliar with Yanjing, so they have no ideas and can only follow the arrangements of Medical Master Guo.

Pharmacist Guo was very familiar with the roads and terrain here. He pointed his riding whip at a dark poplar forest and said to Hua Rong and others: "Let's rest in this forest tonight and wait until daybreak before seizing the city."

Liangshan's army cheered for joy, and with full power, they ran wildly into Yanjing City...
