Thank you for the collection, the red ticket, and the boat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
~~~~~~~
The night is already a little dark, and the majestic Yalu River seems to be quiet, with gentle waves lapping on the shore.
At this time, on the east bank of the Yalu River, on the water area on the ~ Xian side, several small boats, like elves in the night, quietly sailed towards the other side of the river.
Although it was the height of summer, the river breeze was very cool, which blew away the hair on Li Yuanqing's forehead and made his mind clearer.
Next to him, Chen Zhong crouched on the bow of the boat, staring closely at the other side of the river, with indescribable anticipation and excitement in his eyes.
"Yuanqing, this time, the general handed over the main attack task to our brothers, and we must not let the general down." Chen Zhong shook Li Yuanqing's big hand vigorously.
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Yes, Brother Chen, we will definitely succeed." At this time, it is still early, and when we have crossed the shore, let's find a place to hide first, eat some food, and let the sons and daughters rest. ”
"Hmm." Chen Zhong nodded emphatically.
In fact, Li Yuanqing did not expect that tonight, Mao Wenlong would hand over the task of the main attack to himself.
But after thinking about it carefully, Li Yuanqing was also a little relieved.
In the previous battles of Sanchahe and Guangludao, he and Chen Zhong cooperated very tacitly, which should have left a very good impression on Mao Wenlong.
Chen Zhong is brave, he is cautious on his side, and let the two of them partner together, I am afraid that Mao Wenlong has also chosen the most secure plan after careful consideration.
Moreover, in this attack, in addition to Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong's headquarters, Mao Wenlong allocated another 100 young men, and the strength of the two was close to 200 people, which can be described as a strong army.
Zhang Pan has already gone to Jinzhou to replace Chen Jisheng's job, Chen Jisheng will rush back here in the near future, and Li Yuanqing must also take advantage of this gap to lay a more solid foundation for himself.
However, Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered that in history, it seems that Mao Wenlong used Chen Zhong to fight Zhenjiang, and Zhang Pan went to Jinzhou. It's a pity that Zhang Pan successfully took root in Lushun, while Chen Zhong, because the goal of Zhenjiang was too big, in the end, lived and died with the city.
In the final analysis, this time, he was still stained with Chen Zhong's light.
In less than half an hour, the team successfully crossed the Yalu River and came to the land of Daming.
At this time, the location of the team is in the downstream of Zhenjiang City, about five miles away, the time agreed by Mao Wenlong and Zhenjiang Zhongjun Chen ~ Liangce, around the time of the sub-hour, this is less than two hours, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong must rush to the predetermined position, the task is not easy.
The team temporarily settled down in a reed pole on the shore, ate some food, drank some water, and replenished their strength, and the night grew darker and darker.
In this place, you can already faintly see the lights burning on the head of Zhenjiang City not far away.
"Yuanqing, shall we go to the city now?" Chen Zhong was in a hurry and couldn't wait.
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Chen, don't worry. Wait a little longer. At this time, it is still early, and the defenders of the city have not slept yet, so let's be patient first. ”
Before leaving, although Mao Wenlong took Chen Zhong as the main general and Li Yuanqing as his deputy, he also specially instructed Chen Zhong to discuss with Li Yuanqing if he had something.
If it is someone else, it is inevitable that there may be disagreements, but with the relationship between Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, there is naturally no such problem.
Along the way, several times of cooperation, Chen Zhong was very convinced of Li Yuanqing, nodded and said, "Then let these dog tartars live for a while." ”
The team rested here for most of the hour, about 10 o'clock, and Li Yuanqing said: "Brother Chen, it's almost over, it's time for us to move." ”
Chen Zhong couldn't hold it back for a long time, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Okay." Come, inform the brethren, and walk. ”
Soon, a team of 200 people quietly touched in the direction of Zhenjiang City.
…………
The so-called Zhenjiang, as the name suggests, is to hope to suppress this river, or rather, to suppress this river, just like Zhenjiang City in Jiangsu Province in later generations. Such cities are generally at the head of the river. It's just that Zhenjiang in Liaodi is the Yalu River, and Zhenjiang in Jiangsu is the Yangtze River.
Although it was dark night, the morale of the team was high, and the morale was like a rainbow, and in less than half an hour, the team had come to a small forest a mile away from Zhenjiang City, where the figures of the guards on the head of Zhenjiang City could already be clearly seen.
"Dog Day Chen~ Liangce, why hasn't there been any news yet?" Chen Zhong was already a little impatient.
Li Yuanqing became more and more calm at this time.
The matter has come to this point, the wood has been completed, just like the old slave besieged Shenyang City before, the time, the place, the people, and their own side have already been occupied.
At this time, Zhenjiang City is like a girl who has been stripped naked and has her hands and feet bound, and she can't have much resistance at all, so why rush at this time?
"Brother Chen, don't be impatient. I guess they're going to be in touch with us. ”
At this time, although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were the actual operators, before this, Mao Wenlong had already deployed everything carefully, in other words, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were Mao Wenlong's pawns at this time, but they were cars and guns.
Chen Zhong nodded, "I'm not in a hurry." I'm not in a hurry. Damn, can Zhenjiang City still run away on a dog day? ”
Li Yuanqing smiled and didn't say anything more, if Zhenjiang City was really Chen Zhong's fate, then Li Yuanqing would also pull him back from Lord Yan.
Time passed quietly, and the number of guards at the head of Zhenjiang City was obviously a lot less, it seemed that most of them went to sleep, and those who were left behind were either miscellaneous servants or poor people haha.
Li Yuanqing's spirit has also been mentioned to the highest, and it is almost time.
At this time, at a corner of the city wall, Li Yuanqing suddenly saw that there was a small basket, which was put down with a rope.
A figure in the basket, like a monkey, disappeared into the grass under the city walls in the blink of an eye, as if coming towards him.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, this must be Chen ~ Liangce's person arrived, and he was busy informing Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong also quickly became excited, "Where are the people?" ”
"It should be right away."
Sure enough, not long after, a thin man appeared in front of the two, he knelt down and said to Li Yuanqing and the two: "Two adults, my family is ready, at a moment, he will lead people to storm the city gate, I hope the two adults will go on time, the two sides should work together to take Zhenjiang City in one fell swoop." ”
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were both overjoyed, and Chen Zhong said: "Don't worry." Somebody will definitely miss the time. ”
Li Yuanqing said to Shang Lao Liu: "Take this brother down to have a good rest, and reward him with twenty taels of silver." ”
"Yes." Shang Lao Liu hurriedly took this messenger down.
The messenger was also overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing, "Thank you, sir." And then he left.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong also led the main force of the team to the grass under the city wall, quietly waiting for the movement inside.
Just after a moment, a fierce shout of killing suddenly came from the direction of the city gate, and the flames were everywhere.
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong dared to hesitate, Chen Zhong immediately pulled out his waist knife and rushed out first, "Sons, the city gate has been opened, rush." ”
Li Yuanqing was not lagging behind, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the city gate with Shang Lao Liu, Shunzi and the people of the headquarters.
But the team rushed to the outside of the city gate, only to find that the city gate had not been fully opened, presumably Chen ~ Liangce encountered great resistance inside.
Chen Zhong couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he was busy slamming the city gate, but the city gate was made of giant wood and iron, and he was afraid that it would not cost a thousand catties, and he didn't have heavy siege tools on his side, so he hit the door with flesh and blood, and the effect was not good at all.
Li Yuanqing had an idea, and suddenly shouted: "The imperial court has arrived, and the defenders at the head of the city will surrender quickly, but you can wait to avoid death." ”
Seeing that one person was arrested, Li Yuanqing hurriedly asked the soldiers around him to shout at the same time, and he almost shouted, 'Surrender the gun and don't kill'.
Dozens of people, hundreds of people shouted together, the momentum suddenly resounded through the world, the defenders inside also panicked, soon, the city gate was opened, a thousand households with a dozen people quickly ran out, "Brothers, don't do it, I'm Chen ~ Liangce." ”
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were both overjoyed, Li Yuanqing said: "Lord Chen's loyalty, your merits, we will definitely report to the general, let's go into the city first." ”
Chen ~ Liangce was overjoyed, "That's right." ”
Soon, the troops rushed into the city like wolves, and the defenders in the city, which were already small in number, quickly collapsed, and could not form effective resistance at all.
Sent people to guard the city gate, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, under the leadership of Chen ~ Liangce, went straight to the Zhenjiang City Official Hall to kill.
Tong Yangzhen was asleep at this time, where did he think that someone dared to attack his Zhenjiang City, and had already entered the city, hurriedly put on armor, greeted the minions, and came out to meet the enemy, but he ran into Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong who rushed over.
In the night, the fire soared into the sky, straight as day.
Tong Yangzhen is dressed in silver armor and is surrounded by dozens of minions, so he doesn't need to look for it, he is a target.
Chen Zhong was overjoyed and said: "Sons, there is the dog thief Tong Yangzhen in front, follow me." ”
In an instant, Chen Zhong took seventy or eighty people and rushed towards Tong Yangzhen.
Li Yuanqing was afraid that Chen Zhong would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly led his headquarters to follow behind Chen Zhong.
In a moment, the two groups were in a scuffle.
Although Tong Yangzhen was extremely passive at this time, he was not afraid and was very brave, killing several Ming soldiers in a row, all of them were under Chen Zhong's command, and Chen Zhong screamed in pain, "Dog thief, take your life." ”
He didn't care anymore, and rushed directly at Tong Yangzhen.
The soldiers around him were frightened and hurriedly chased after him.
Li Yuanqing didn't expect Chen Zhong to be so reckless, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers around him to quickly rush towards Chen Zhongbao.
Tong Yangzhen also panicked at this time, in this moment of battle, there were many dead and injured house slaves around him, at this time, there were few people who could stand, but he didn't want to retreat, he took the house slaves around him, hardened his head, and entangled with Chen Zhong, and he didn't know the winner for a while.
But as Li Yuanqing's vital force rushed over, Tong Yangzhen and the others quickly fell into a panic, and after a while, there were not many domestic slaves left.
Li Yuanqing flew up and hit Tong Yangzhen's chest directly, Tong Yangzhen stumbled and fell to the ground in pain.
At this time, the steel knife in Li Yuanqing's hand was already against his neck, "Surrender." I won't kill you. ”
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Tong Yangzhen sighed and closed his eyes.
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong glanced at each other, they were both overjoyed, and Chen Zhong shouted: "Come on, tie me up for this dog." ”
Soon, Tong Yangzhen was tied up by Wuhua and escorted to the back, and the Zhenjiang City Official Hall was completely exposed in front of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.
But before the two of them could enter the official hall, a team of seventy or eighty people suddenly came out of the street on one side, and the leader of the man shouted: "Holy shit, let my father go." ”
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly commanded their respective subordinates to meet the enemy.
In the battle just now, the soldiers on Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong's side were already a little tired, and the sudden emergence of this new force made Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong a little stunned for a while, but they quickly reacted and quickly became entangled with this new force.
Although the street in front of the official hall was very wide, it could not withstand the battle of hundreds of people, and it was already in chaos.
Although this new force is fierce, but after struggling for a while, Li Yuanqing found that there are very few young and strong people in it, and there are all old and weak miscellaneous laborers, and although the leading man is brave, he is already difficult to support alone.
Capture the thief and capture the king first.
Li Yuanqing glanced at Shang Lao Liu and Shunzi beside him, and let the soldiers behind him rush forward to open the way, and the three of them quietly walked towards the man.
