Nankang City is the seat of Nankang Prefecture, located on the west bank of Poyang Lake, at the southern foot of Lushan Mountain, facing water on three sides, guarding the main road leading to the Yangtze River from Poyang Lake.

Soon after the governor of Jiangxi, Sun Sui took office, in the name of preventing thieves, the military supplies in Nanchang City were transferred to Nankang City, and strengthened the defense of Nankang City.

On September 23, the thirteenth year of Zhengde, the weather was gloomy, the autumn rain was endless, the fog arose on the surface of Poyang Lake, and the outline of Nankang City loomed in the fog.

It was the late autumn season, and the dense fog was even more damp and cold, which made people feel extremely unhappy.

As night falls, the gates are closed.

A lantern was hung on the tower outside the south of the city, and the dim light was as weak as a firefly under the thick fog of the night. Near the tower is the Ming army water village, at this time the gate of the water village is closed, a small group of Ming soldiers carrying waist knives listlessly patrolled by.

As the night wore on, the fog turned into a drizzle of rain that soaked the rooftops and streets.

In Nankang City, in a narrow alley near the South City Gate, a house is still lit. In the dim light, three men were sitting around a low table drinking and eating peanuts, chatting in a low voice.

The three men were bold and rude, their expressions were fierce, their eyes were fierce, and they exuded a general reckless atmosphere. These three people are the three leaders raised by Ning Wangfu: Yang Qing, Li Fu, and Wang Ru.

Before these three people were snare by King Ning's mansion, they were all Jiang Yang thieves who did all kinds of evil.

Bang Bang ...... Bang!

There was a sound of four watches ringing on the street, and the three thieves put down their wine glasses and glanced at each other. The thief Yang Qing peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth and chewed it soundly, and said lightly: "Do it!" ”

The three thieves stood up, put on the garb of the gentry, put on the hats, and went out of the house with weapons in hand.

At the same time, more than a dozen black-clothed people in night clothes poured out from several nearby houses, forming a group in the alley, and there were about forty or fifty people.

The three thieves took the lead out of the alley wearing hats and headed in the direction of the south gate, and did not go far before they were met by two watchmen.

"Who...... Hey, Lao Zhao, it's not time for the changing of the guard yet, why did you come out so early? By the faint light of the lantern, the two grooms vaguely saw that the comer was wearing the groom's clothes, and thought that they were their peers who had come to take over.

"Come early so I can get you on your way!"

Yang Qing smiled and rushed forward, the cold light in his hand flashed, and the dagger had already pierced into the throat of a husband. Another husband was shocked, but before he could give a warning, he was wiped by Wang Ru behind Yang Qing.

"Hey, it's like killing a chicken ear!" Wang Ru wiped the dagger on the husband's clothes, and threw the corpse down casually, with a look of contempt.

The three murderous thieves concocted and killed the husband on the street all the way, and the black-clothed man who followed the corpse dragged him into the alley to cover it, acting closely and skillfully, obviously fully prepared in advance.

Soon, the three thieves came to the vicinity of the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were all officials and militiamen, a total of about twenty people.

"What people!" An alert official first spotted Yang Qing and the others who were approaching, and immediately raised his spear and asked.

"Hit the shift!" Li Fu said on his lips, but his footsteps did not stop at all, and he accelerated and rushed forward, the official noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped back and raised his gun to pierce, but unfortunately the speed of this scum with a combat power of only five was too slow, coupled with the hasty response, the spear was cut off by a flash of knife light before it was pierced.

The head fell to the ground, blood splattered, and the other officials guarding the city gate were so frightened that some people even dropped the lantern they were carrying and fell to the ground. The three thieves, Yang Qing, Wang Ru, and Li Fu, rushed forward and instantly chopped several people like chopping melons and vegetables, and the screams resounded through the night sky.

Dozens of black-clothed men then killed, and all the yacha were killed with just half a cup of tea.

Rumble ......

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and Yang Qing rushed to the city with a torch, drawing the torch in a circle.

Immediately afterward, countless torches were lit at the same time several miles outside the city, and two teams of men and horses fiercely pounced on the water village from the land.

"Enemy attack!" The screams of the Ming army sentries sounded in the water village, and the dense gongs slammed into the water......

In the darkness, the sound of the fire gun was like a burst of beans, shouting and killing, and the terrible screams completely broke the silence of the night.

There were nearly 500 people who attacked the Ming army's water village, and they also used standard weapons such as firearms, bows and arrows, but they wore miscellaneous clothing.

These men were obviously well-trained, and soon attacked the Ming army's water village, setting fire to the barracks and warships everywhere, and in just half an hour, the entire water village was plunged into a raging fire.

It is said that there were originally 1,000 officers and soldiers stationed in the water village, but recently Sun Sui transferred 900 people to Poyang Lake to participate in the suppression of bandits, so only 100 officers and soldiers remained in the water village.

The attacking thieves were fierce, not losing the regular army in the slightest, and the number was five times that of the defenders, so under the sudden attack, they quickly broke through the water village. All the defenders, including one hundred, were killed.

These thieves killed all the defenders of Shuizhai, and immediately entered Nankang City through the open city gate, and the soldiers divided into two roads, and rushed to the government prison and armory with ease.

In the prison of Nankang Mansion, Wu Sanba, the leader of the lead mountain bandits, was lying on the dirty straw pile and shivering.

After more than two months of torture and interrogation, this once murderous bandit in the green forest has been tortured to the point that he is not human, skinny as wood, and his eye sockets are deep-set, like an old man in his last years.

It was already late autumn now, and it was still raining, and it was the middle of the night, and Wu Sanba was only wearing tattered prison clothes, so he was shivering with cold, and it was difficult to fall asleep at all.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Wu Sanba, who couldn't sleep, simply sat up and read the names of the enemy over and over again: Sun Sui, Liu Qingyuan, Xu Jin, and the Xie brothers......

It is said that this Wu Sanba is indeed a tough guy, and he has been severely interrogated for more than two months, and he still refuses to confess his relationship with Ning Wangfu.

"All deserve to die, if Lao Tzu has the life to escape alive, he will kill Er and the rest of his family!" Wu Sanba squeezed out the whole sentence word by word from between his teeth, and his deep-seated blind eyes revealed deep hatred. Only the anger of hatred could make him forget the coldness of his flesh right now.

At this moment, several screams were heard outside the prison, and the sound of fighting came in clearly, and Wu Sanba stood up like an electric shock.

Bang dang......

The cell door opened, and two bloody heads rolled in, and Wu Sanba recognized that this was the jailer guarding the door, and his breathing suddenly became short.

Leaning slightly, the three of them came out with bloody single knives, and it was Yang Qing, Wang Ru, and Li Fu, the three Jiangyang thieves.

"Master Wu, the prince ordered me to wait to pick you up from prison!" Yang Qing laughed, stepped forward with an arrow, and slashed the chain of the gate with a knife.

Wu Sanba was stunned, then looked up to the sky and smiled, laughing so much that tears flowed out of his sunken eye sockets: "God has eyes, God has eyes...... Hahaha! ”

The night owl's laughter echoed repeatedly in the prison......
