Prince of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 288: The historic meeting between Shimen City and Qin Hui

Views:

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, who was disturbed, wandered around the city with a spear. In the past few days, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen spent almost all of the dead in the city. What he saw all day was bright red blood and smelled it. It is a pungent fishy smell.

Now that I smell this fresh air in the city, I feel so comfortable that my whole body feels relieved.

"Master Zhao!" "Master!" "Master!"

Along the way, Xinwang Zhaozhen also encountered many officers and soldiers who were in charge of patrols. Of course, these officers and soldiers were not organized by the regular army, and even the later soldiers were not counted as those who were only responsible for patrolling the stability of the jurisdiction. In order to avoid chaos among the people and spies, they hold a bright knife in their hands.

Arms are enough to deter ordinary spies. Of course, these officers and soldiers also recognized the top leader Xin Wang Zhao Zhen in Shimen City. When they saw Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, they all saluted him.

The letter king Zhao Zhen did not put on airs, but after nodding in response, he beckoned and called a patrol officer to his side. Seeing the call of the letter king Zhao Zhen, the little officer ran over immediately. When he looked at his colleague next to him, there was a hint of triumph on his face. When he arrived in front of the letter king Zhao Zhen, the little officer who was the head of the corps directly bowed and said, "The villain has seen an adult!"

The letter king Zhao Zhen waved his hand, motioned him to stand up straight and talk, then smiled and asked: "How is it? There is nothing unusual in the city, right?"

Although this little patrol officer looked a little frivolous, he was still agile. He was obviously also a capable man in the rivers and lakes. Otherwise, he would not be a little officer in Shimen. Hearing the enquiry of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, even he straightened his waist and shouted: "Return to Lord Zhao! The villain led a team to patrol the city for a day and found nothing unusual for the time being!"

It's fine if there is no abnormality! The letter king Zhao Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, and then nodded and said, "Thanks for your hard work! But for the safety of us and our family, we must ensure that there is no trouble in the city. If there is any abnormality, immediately notify Shangfeng. If the matter is urgent, you can go directly. The city mansion or the top of the city will report to me. Once you have merit, you will be rewarded immediately. Do you understand?"

"Here!" The officer immediately yelled, and he was able to receive the task personally issued by the letter Wang Zhao Zhen who was nominally Lord Zhao from Shimen. His face was also bright! After bidding farewell to the letter king Zhao Zhen and returning to his team, feeling the enviable gaze of his colleagues, the little officer's face became more and more proud.

Regarding the affairs between the few officials, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen didn't take the time to manage, but turned around and continued to wander around the city. The letter king Zhao Zhen went around the city, but it took more than an hour.

Looking at the West City Gate not far away, there were more than 3,000 soldiers guarding the city. Although the officers and soldiers had been attacking the East City Gate during this period of time, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and General Shan Hongfei dared not relax the other three-sided city gates, and arranged some defenders to guard them.

After walking around the city, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's boredom has really reduced a lot, at least the anxiety in his heart has also dispersed a lot. The letter king Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laughed bitterly. Is it really because he didn't rest well during this period, or because he stayed for too long under the environment of adversity? Thinking about fighting in a harsh environment before, I have maintained a special vigilance.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen patted his cheeks with his hands, which made him feel much better, and then took a deep breath. After that, Wang Xin Zhao Zhen turned around and walked towards the east city gate. Although General Shan Hongfei said that he would hand it over to him tonight, Wang Xin Zhao Zhen was a little bit overwhelmed, and decided to go back to the city to take a look.

"Ah!" Just when Xin Wang Zhao Zhen had just walked a few steps, suddenly, a slight cry came to Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's ears, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen immediately stopped. This scream is actually not very loud. It’s just that because of the siege of the officers and soldiers, the people in the city rest early. So although it’s not late at night, the inside of the city is already quiet, but it reflects the scream. The sound was particularly harsh. In Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's hearing, he could feel that the cry seemed particularly stern, as if it contained too much unwillingness and fear.

The reason why Xin Wang Zhao Zhen noticed this call was the uneasy feeling that has been lingering in Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's heart these days. The vigilance at the moment suddenly came to my heart.

Then Xinwang Zhaozhen frowned and turned her head to look in the direction of the scream. Although the scream just now was extremely short, Xinwang Zhaozhen had received strict training back then, and this reaction ability was still there.

Soon, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen targeted a residential house next to the street, which was a small courtyard that was not too big. However, it seems that the owner of this yard should also be considered as worry-free. From the outside, there should be five or six wing rooms in the yard, and on the fence of the yard, there are also a few branches of peach trees sticking out. .

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen quickly turned on the wall, and on the wall, he found a trace of something wrong. Although he could not fully see the movement inside, when Xin Wang Zhao Zhen just walked to the yard, he clearly saw a trace. light. But just after an instant, the light disappeared immediately, obviously hiding something.

There is a problem in this yard! Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's heart suddenly shook, but before the matter was clear, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen couldn't easily call most of the people over. He was a man of great skill and courage. He directly catted to the waist, leaned on the wall, and went there. Look inside the yard.

Tonight, the night sky was covered with clouds, covering the moon and stars tightly, so except for the few people who lit the lights, it was dark everywhere in the city. Believe King Zhao Zhen can only vaguely see the outline of the courtyard by the light of the fire not far away from Xicheng Head. This is thanks to the golden eyes of Wang Zhaozhen who received special training in those years. If he is replaced by someone else, I am afraid it will only Maybe his eyes were blackened.

I saw that the courtyard was still quiet at this moment, and it seemed that there was really no one, but Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's mind was always wandering the light that just disappeared just now, still insisting on staying on the wall.

There seems to be an unfinished rockery in the yard, but Xinwang Zhao Zhen took a closer look and found that the rock was obviously newly excavated, and the color was quite deep. Although he was puzzled, he still waited and watched quietly.

After waiting for a while, it turned out that the effort paid off. A ray of light suddenly lit up in the innermost wing of the yard. It seemed that someone had lit an oil lamp, but he had deliberately blocked the light with his hand. Seeing this weird situation, even though she knew that the other party could not find herself, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen subconsciously held her breath, and stared at the wing with her eyes.

Although the light of the oil lamp was blocked, there were still some people reflected on the window of the wing. Xinwang Zhao Zhen took a closer look, only to find that there were no less than ten people in that small wing! It is absolutely impossible for such an ordinary family to have so many people. It can be seen that there is absolutely a problem in this yard!

After discovering these anomalies, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen didn't have the urge to rush in now. He glanced at the mysterious courtyard, and there didn't seem to be any major movements. Immediately Xin Wang Zhao Zhen turned over and quietly fell off the wall. , Walked straight to the West Gate.

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen met several patrol teams and directly led them to surround the yard. Walking into the periphery of the yard, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen put his finger on his mouth, gestured to them, and then motioned them to follow him to a corner beside the street. Those patrolling soldiers dared to say more, all of them followed Wang Zhaozhen with their heels on their heels.

The letter king Zhao Zhen saw that they were all following him, then turned his head and glanced at the yard, and said softly to the officers and soldiers: "Have you seen the yard in front? I suspect that there are officers and soldiers lurking in it! You guys! Now go to the mansion, the west city gate and the east city gate immediately to inform and ask General Shan Hongfei to send more soldiers here to pick him up. Let him be careful. If the officers and soldiers are going to make any conspiracy, they are likely to take the opportunity to attack the city! "

"Yes!" Upon hearing Wang Zhaozhen's assignment, the patrol generals were a little nervous and a little excited. They were just ordinary patrols, and their salary was much lower than that of the regular army. They also don't have the qualifications to be promoted exceptionally.

However, as a hot-blooded man, how can he not yearn for the experience of fighting and slaying Hou Baixiang on the battlefield, not to mention that there is still a chance to fight with the highest leader of Shimen to kill the enemy, this is a kind of glory!

The officer who had intersected with Xinwang Zhaozhen before seemed to have some prestige among his colleagues. After receiving Xinwang Zhaozhen's order, he immediately sent other officers and soldiers to perform the tasks of Xinwang Zhaozhen. In the end, he himself was fine and light. He stayed beside Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. Seeing his excited face, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was very suspicious. Just now, he was just a fake public benefit. He gave himself a place to stay here and follow in and kill. Opportunity for the enemy.

But it doesn't matter whether it is or not. Although there is such a small officer, it doesn't matter to the trusting king Zhao Zhen. If there is anything, there will be a runner who is not.

The letter king Zhao Zhen did not intend to rush in now, but once again hid in a small alley not far from the courtyard. Prepare to wait for the people sent by General Shan Hongfei to arrive before deciding how to attack! Since these officers and soldiers can sneak into the city without knowing it, it shows that there are still loopholes in the defense of Shimen City, and Wang Zhaozhen must find this loophole!

It’s just that although the letter king Zhao Zhen planned well, she didn’t expect that before the two of them could hide, suddenly a dark shadow sprang out of the courtyard and rushed towards an officer and soldier who was heading to the West City Gate to report the letter. . The pupils of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's eyes shrank suddenly, and she couldn't help but yelled: "No!" When even he was holding a spear, he was about to step forward.

It's a pity that Wang Zhaozhen took a step slower, and watched the dark shadow rushing behind the officer and soldier. Then, the officer and soldier let out a scream and fell directly to the ground, unsure of his life or death. The letter king Zhao Zhen couldn't help but yelled, holding the spear and stabbing towards the dark shadow. The officer behind Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was just stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, even if he drew his big sword to come forward to help.

The letter king Zhao Zhen ran closer, and then he could see the true face of the dark shadow. He was wearing an armor and holding a single sword. The most noticeable thing was a black helmet on his head.

Sure enough, they are officers and soldiers! A cold light flashed in the eyes of the letter king Zhao Zhen, and without saying a word, he lifted the spear and pierced the officer and soldier. The officer was obviously not an ordinary person, and his skill was no longer stronger than that of ordinary generals. When the other party saw Xin Wang Zhao Zhen stabbing with a spear, he didn't have any fear, and he directly swung a single knife and slashed at the head of the stabbing spear. Past.

The martial arts of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen is something a general with a little bit higher martial arts can resist, and of course it will not be so easy to be cut in the head of his gun by the opponent. I saw the letter Wang Zhao Zhen's hand shaking, and suddenly the spear head drew a spear shot in the air, but it avoided the opponent's single knife in an extremely strange curve, and directly stabbed the enemy general in the throat.

Until the end, the general still looked at Xinwang Zhao Zhen with a face full of disbelief. He didn't understand at all. With his own skill, even if he encountered ordinary enemy generals, he shouldn't lose so fast!

Draw out the tip of the gun, but Xinwang Zhao Zhen didn't have the slightest expression of joy on his face, because he had already seen more and more dark shadows rushing out of the yard. In terms of numbers, there are at least hundreds of people. If everyone has the skill of the enemy general just now, there will be a mess in this city tonight! On the contrary, the patrol captain who had been following Xinwang Zhaozhen, saw Xinwang Zhaozhen solve an enemy cleanly, and the reverence on his face was beyond words.

There were a few more shouts and shouts, and several soldiers and soldiers who had just rushed out of the yard saw their generals died under the gun of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, and they rushed over, wanting to avenge their superiors.

Seeing this, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes and moved the spear, but he directly met the officers and soldiers and killed him. In this fight, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's heart was cold. Sure enough, although the skills of these officers and soldiers were worse than that of the general just now, they were all fighters with high martial skills. He didn't expect that Zhao Go had such a talented person in his hands. Troops, Shimen City is going to be bad now!

These officers and soldiers are naturally the masters selected from the elite troops mobilized by the Imperial Guard under Zhang Jun! The day before yesterday, after Liu Zhengjiang offered Zhang Junjin's authentic policy, Zhang Jun also followed his kindness, and immediately agreed to Liu Zhengjiang's proposal. However, although Zhang Jun is not very good at military affairs, he also knows that if he simply digs tunnels, he might be seen through by the defenders in the city, and then this tunnel technique will not work.

Therefore, while Zhang Jun assigned Liu Zheng to hide some people in the middle of the barracks to dig a tunnel, he ordered other generals to continue to attack Shimen City to attract the attention of the Shimen City defenders. It is because of the large number of people and the great strength. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers helped dig the tunnel. This small tunnel was dug through in just two days.

But in the evening, just after letting the army retreat, Zhang Jun eagerly asked Qin Hui to sneak into the tunnel with the elite officers and soldiers, and went directly to the city.

After digging through the tunnel, Qin Hui found that it was a courtyard and a household. However, Qin Hui did a good job this time, and launched an attack without being so impulsive. Instead, he tied up all the family and let his soldiers come out of the tunnel.

When there were nearly two to three hundred people, Qin Hui remembered that the family was still in the firewood room on the other side, and then ordered his subordinates to deal with the family!

But Qin Hui never expected that when his soldiers killed the people, the king of letter Zhao Zhen passed by the gate of the courtyard and heard the screams of a citizen before he died.

After hearing the sound coming from outside the yard, Qin Hui couldn't help but his face changed. Only then did he know that he might have been discovered. He hurriedly made arrangements to prepare his men to attack at any time. And he himself hid quietly behind the gate, watching Xin Wang Zhao Zhen and the officers and soldiers move in the corner of the street, seeing that the general-like person appointed a few officers and soldiers to report the letter, Qin Hui was anxious, this is only temporary Give instructions to launch an attack.

But the primary goal was the officer and soldier who went to the Xichengmen to report the letter, because Zhang Jun’s order to Qin Hui this time was to occupy the Xichengmen first. After opening the Xichengmen, the army of officers and soldiers would be able to drive straight in and attack Shimen. city. At that time, the soldiers of Shimen City will definitely not be able to withstand the offensive of the officers and soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty!

Qin Hui also saw the scene of Xin Wang Zhao Zhen killing the elite general with a single shot, and immediately knew that this was definitely not an ordinary enemy in front of him. Even the most powerful lieutenant under Qin Hui, and even many of the masters under Zhao Gou, do not have the confidence to kill an elite general as easily as the trusting king Zhao Zhen, and saw several subordinates continue to fight. After the letter king Zhao Zhen rushed over, Qin Hui also hurried to let his confidant lieutenant rush over to help with a big knife.

It's a pity that Qin Hui still underestimated the ability of trusting Wang Zhaozhen. Before his deputy rushed out of the hospital, the few elite soldiers who had just rushed up had fallen to death under the gun of Xin Wang Zhaozhen. The lieutenant under Qin Hui's expression sank. He looked at the young soldier standing with a gun, squinted his eyes and shouted, "Is the name of the coming general?"

Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was also observing Qin Hui and the lieutenant. At this time, the thick clouds that had been floating in the night sky had dispersed, and a gleam of moonlight shone down, just to let Xin Wang Zhao Zhen see the appearance of Qin Hui and the lieutenant.

Qin Hui was observing Xinwang Zhaozhen, and Xinwang Zhaozhen was also observing Qin Hui and the lieutenant. At this time, the thick clouds that had been floating in the night sky had dispersed, and a gleam of moonlight was shining down, just to let Xinwang Zhaozhen see Qin Hui and the lieutenant clearly. appearance.

Qin Hui's lanky donkey face, three strands of beard floating on his chest, triangular eyes and pointed mouth monkey cheeks, his body was thin. The lieutenant on the other side had a square face with Chinese characters, but the burned traces on half of his face made the lieutenant's expression look a bit hideous.

Seeing Qin Hui’s lieutenant, Xin Wang Zhaozhen immediately distinguished him from ordinary officers, soldiers and generals. It seemed that he should be a figure in the ranks of senior officers and soldiers, and immediately Xin Wang Zhao Zhen was unambiguous and shouted: " I am Zhao Yan from Shimen City!"

"Shimen City Zhao Yan?" Qin Hui repeated it in a low voice, but it was an extremely unfamiliar name, but Qin Hui would not regard the letter king Zhao Zhen as an unknown person, with such a good skill, it shows that this person is not a pond. Things in it! Qin Hui immediately shouted: "I am the imperial order officer Qin Hui! On your majesty's order, come here to suppress the bandits! Why are you willing to be a thief if you have such a good skill? Why not join our officers and soldiers! Get one for the world! Peace and prosperity!"
