With a creaking sound, the city gate slowly opened a crack inward, and a few rays of sunlight came into the dark and long city gate tunnel.
Seeing the city gate slowly open, Xu Hai couldn't help but feel excited and full of vigor.
This is one of the most prosperous cities in the world! Apart from the capital city under the emperor's feet and the secondary capital Yingtian City, among all the cities of the Ming Dynasty, this city is the largest and most prosperous.
Soon, this world-class prosperous city will be conquered by me and will be at my feet.
Although the Japanese pirates were now powerful and the smoke of war was burning all over the south of the Yangtze River, they had only managed to capture more than a dozen county towns so far. They had not taken any larger cities, and even Prince Hui Wang Zhi was no exception.
I conquered Suzhou City by myself. That was the first time among the Japanese pirates. Even Wang Zhi, the Prince of Hui, was not as good as me!
As he took over Suzhou City, his reputation would surely spread quickly among the Japanese pirates, and would surely attract pirates from all directions to come and surrender to him. The number of pirates who came to him would definitely be much greater than when he occupied Tuo Lin's old nest.
Relying on the vast wealth in Suzhou City, he was able to quickly arm the Japanese pirates who had come to surrender and form a fighting force.
By then, he would be fully grown and would be able to compete with Hui Wang Zhi.
Ha ha ha ha
Suzhou City is really my blessed land! Although I lost a lot of people in Fengqiao at the beginning, but no one can have smooth sailing. Now that I have conquered Suzhou City, I will take advantage of the situation and grow stronger. Then I can come back and deal with this top scholar. It will be like a father beating his son. It will be easy!
What a bullshit number one scholar! He is just proud for a moment! I will make you kneel at my feet when the time comes!
The city gate was heavy, and there were many obstacles such as stones behind the gate that needed to be cleared, so the city gate opened slowly. From a crack at the beginning, it has only slowly opened to a width of one person after a cup of tea... ...
Listening to the creaking sound of the door opening and watching the city gate opening wider and wider, the smile on Xu Hai's mouth became wider and wider.
Although he was excited, Xu Hai remained calm and in control of the situation. Seeing that the city gate had been opened to a width of more than one person, he lowered his head and ordered General Wang, "Okay, General Wang, you can lead everyone to the city gate. The sooner we enter the city gate, the sooner we can get everything done, so as to avoid any more troubles."
"Yes, yes, the surrendered general will lead the king and the heroes into the city right away." General Wang dared not say anything and nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go! Enter the city! After we enter the city, please take care of us, Your Majesty and the heroes." General Wang said as he pulled the reins of his horse and headed towards the city gate first.
The sun was high in the sky, and a group of Japanese pirates followed closely behind, with smiles on their faces and murderous aura emanating from their bodies.
Once they enter the city, it will become a living hell.
In the distance, the "fleeing" Japanese pirates from the north gate and northwest gate began to gather in the distance, ready to attack the east gate at any time. Once the east gate was taken and the fireworks signal was launched, they would attack at the first time.
As he slowly walked towards the city gate, Xu Hai held the hilt of the knife tightly. The closer he was to success, the more cautious he had to be.
This is the experience he has summed up over many years!
This is the last moment. The city gate has been opened by one third, and only three soldiers can enter side by side. If someone from the city stops them, all their efforts will be in vain!
Fortunately, by the time General Wang's horse had entered the city gate, no sound of stopping was heard from the city.
Until General Wang's horsetails all entered the city gate and the personal soldiers behind him began to line up to enter the city gate, no voice of restraint was heard from the city.
Now it’s settled!
Xu Hai loosened his grip on the knife handle a little, the corners of his mouth curled up, his heart filled with joy.
Just as the Japanese pirates in the front began to enter the city gate, they suddenly heard faint sounds of muskets and shouts of killing coming from the south.
Fighting broke out in the direction of Fengqiao Camp?!
As soon as Xu Hai heard it, he knew that the top scholar in Fengqiao Camp was restless again, and nothing could go wrong at the critical moment.
"Hurry up, speed up, enter the city quickly!" Xu Hai couldn't help but urge the Japanese pirates loudly to speed up and enter the city.
"Capture the leader first; shoot the horse first! If the prefect leads the officials to greet us, control them as soon as possible. It would be best if you can capture them alive. Of course, if you can't capture them alive, it doesn't matter if they are dead! The key is to be fast!" After urging, Xu Hai whispered to the front group of Japanese pirates to control the prefect Shang and other officials first after they enter the city.
After Xu Hai finished making the arrangements, the sounds of firearms and shouts of killing coming from the direction of Fengqiao in the south became more frequent, and the battle seemed to become more intense.
Could it be that the top scholar had discovered something, sensed something was wrong, and wanted to warn him?!
However, he had long anticipated that the top scholar was a hidden danger, and had deployed heavy troops in the Fengqiao direction, surrounding the Zhejiang Army's Fengqiao camp. Even if he wanted to give a warning, he could not break through the heavy encirclement.
snort!
Thinking of the loss of troops and generals in front of Fengqiao Camp a few days ago, Xu Hai was furious!
When I conquer Suzhou City and become stronger, I will definitely take action against that bastard number one scholar!
Number one scholar?! A child of destiny?! Humph, he is nothing in front of me. I will make him kneel at my feet and humiliate him thoroughly to make up for my hatred from the previous day!
"Faster!"
Listening to the increasingly frequent sounds of musketry from the Fengqiao camp, Xu Hai began to feel uneasy and urged them on.
The team began to speed up and enter the city, but because it was not easy to clear the stones blocking the city gate, the city gate was still only opened by more than one-third, and only three people could enter the city side by side.
Up to now, only seventy or eighty Japanese pirates have entered the city.
Just as Xu Hai urged them to speed up again, they suddenly heard an earth-shaking explosion from the south.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The explosion was so loud that the ground shook and even the city walls were shaken slightly.
Like a dragon turning over.
This huge explosion reminded people of the huge explosion in front of Fengqiao position a few days ago.
You can’t help but associate!
This explosion also came from the direction of Fengqiao.
Along with the explosion, one could faintly hear screams and curses in Japanese.
"Oh no, there's a change in the direction of Fengqiao!" Xu Hai's face suddenly changed when he heard it. He turned his head in horror and looked in the direction of Fengqiao camp. He saw flames and billowing smoke rising into the sky from the direction of Fengqiao camp in the distance.
Prefect Shang on the city wall was preparing to lead a group of officials down the wall to welcome the triumphant General Wang and his entourage, but the loud explosion made them stop in their tracks. They all followed the sound and looked in the direction of Fengqiao, where they saw the Fengqiao camp filled with flames and smoke, and faint screams could be heard.
They were high up and had a much better view than Xu Hai and others below the city, and they could see more and more clearly.
They also saw a group of cavalry breaking out from the Fengqiao camp and heading straight for Suzhou City.
