Chapter 202 Chapter 201 The mob

Ever since the alarm bell on the Xiongwu Gate was sounded, Malan's head had been buzzing. Except for his instinct to bite the bullet and kill on the top of the city, his brain had completely stopped spinning.

And as the other five city gates and the bells on the Bell and Drum Towers soon began to ring one after another, his mind became completely blank.

Malan's second-in-command, the skinny monkey who had always been a ghostly man, also lost his soul and was just fighting like crazy.

In fact, everyone is crazy!

Even how they managed to capture the Xiongwumen city in the end, many people didn't understand.

Anyway, Malan only vaguely remembered that after a fierce killing, the enemies who had been growing in front of him suddenly dispersed. Then, he stood at the top of the Xiongwu Gate, and stood next to the man who was being held in the tower.

In front of the ringing bell.

Although Xiongwumen increased their troops tonight, and the guarding peasant army was ordered to be more alert and discovered Malan's sneak attack in advance, they were still vulnerable.

His fighting ability is as weak as a scumbag.

But when the frightened Malan and Skinny Houer looked at each other happily in the city tower, they immediately looked at each other, and then cursed someone else's ancestor almost at the same time.

They forgot about the city gate below!

The sudden battle caused all original plans to be abandoned, and they only thought about fighting for the commanding heights first.

After saying "Look up there, I'll take people to open the city gate", Malan hurriedly got out of the tower, greeted a group of people and rushed down the city.

It is easier to open the city gate than to attack the city head.

Malan led dozens of soldiers to kill the numerous peasant soldiers who were in a mess near the city gate, almost like chopping melons and vegetables, and then easily formed a loose defensive formation in front of the city gate.

Although by the constant burning torches around the city gate, the hundreds of peasant troops that were gathering and had already gathered could clearly see that there was only a small group of unarmored enemies forming in front of the city gate.

But these peasant armies still just stared at each other and stopped moving forward one by one.

The one-sided massacre and corpses on the ground filled the faces of these peasant soldiers with fear, and they just watched helplessly as the city gate was pushed open bit by bit.

When the gate of Xiongwumen was completely pushed open, a series of curses and screams came from the stunned peasant army, and then they finally began to attempt an attack in a chaotic manner.

But suddenly, more than a dozen arrows flew down from the top of the city and pierced into the approaching peasant army, and then the hundreds of driven peasant troops dispersed in a rush.

Malan, who was highly nervous, breathed a long sigh of relief.

He has understood that these peasant armies are basically newly recruited and have not received any formal training except for the establishment of an organization. They are nothing more than a bunch of loose sand and a group of rabble.

He turned his head and looked up. The thin monkey who was sticking his head out from the top of the city gestured to him with the captured bow and arrow, and then retracted it.

With a straight line of sight, through the open city gate, a sound like a boiling pot could be faintly discerned in the darkness in the distance outside the city.

Although he couldn't see anything due to the direction of the city gate, Malan knew that he only needed to defend for a while, and it seemed that he should be able to defend.

His head finally stopped buzzing.

But when Malan turned around, his expression quickly became serious again.

Along the avenue leading directly to the city gate, a large and neat array of torches were heading straight towards them, accompanied by bursts of horse hooves.

Reinforcements from the elite troops of the Peasant Army have arrived, too fast!

…

While Xiongwumen was engaged in a bitter battle, chaos also began in the courtyard where Xu Wenqi was imprisoned.

The disheveled detainees were repeatedly ordering the agitated detainees not to gather and to return to their rooms.

But the effect is not obvious.

Dozens of detainees who all ran into the yard just looked at the Xiongwumen not far away and talked about it. Some brave people even shouted: "The imperial army has arrived. If you don't surrender quickly, you may avoid death."

."

The guard leader was so angry that he screamed, but under the dim torch light it was difficult to find the daring person.

He ordered the guards to press forward, but except for a few close associates around him, there were only a few who responded, and most of them were pretending to be deaf and mute with their faces changing.

The few who were listening to the order also stopped when they saw this.

After the guard leader's face became darker and darker, he finally became furious. He drew out his sword and violently chopped down the two cowering soldiers closest to him, and cursed that this was the result of disobeying his orders.

The noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet.

After you looked at me and I looked at you, most of the frightened guards finally raised their weapons in obedience and slowly approached the detainees.

Under this pressure, a few timid detainees immediately and dejectedly moved toward the house.

"Zhang Gouwa, He Zizheng, Wei Fugui, Wang Scissors, please obey the authority in urgent matters. Now is the time to take action, otherwise today next year will be the anniversary of your and my death." Xu Wenqi suddenly shouted in the crowd.

The head guard immediately staggered, and his face suddenly turned green. The faces of several of his cronies also changed suddenly.

Everyone recognized Xu Wenqi's voice, and the names he called out were all of their people, and all of them were small bosses.

But the courtyard continued to be strangely quiet at this time. Although the guards who were pressing forward stopped in surprise, those whose names were called did not show up.

"Master Wang has arrived. If you don't stay here for any length of time, are you waiting to be beheaded as a bandit?" Xi Dingxuan, a member of the imperial family, shouted.

Finally, as Xi Dingxuan's voice fell, a scream came from the guards far away from the leader of the guards, but the poor lighting made it unclear who was cutting who to the ground.

All the guards were in an uproar, and then there was chaos immediately. Everyone was holding a weapon and looking towards the place where the screams were coming while nervously staring at the people around them.

"What are you waiting for! Are you waiting to be killed!" Xu Wenqi shouted again.

"Don't listen to this bitch's monstrous words to confuse the public. He is trying to create a rift. I can trust you brothers." The guard leader's response was quite quick.

But as soon as he finished speaking, several screams suddenly came from outside the courtyard, and then people around the courtyard were heard shouting: "The city is broken... The city is broken... The officers and soldiers are coming in... The officers and soldiers are coming..."

Call in!"

The expressions of everyone in the courtyard changed this time. Although they were different, their eyes were all drawn to the direction of the sounds coming from outside the courtyard.

But immediately, a familiar scream drew everyone's attention back.

The guard leader was suddenly stabbed from behind by a peasant soldier whose name Xu Wenqi did not pronounce.

Immediately afterwards, in a state of stunned silence, several of the cronies around the guard leader were attacked with knives by the astonished peasant soldiers around them, and then peasant soldiers from other places also began to attack the few dozen or so recognized soldiers around them.

An accomplice who is closer to the guard leader.

"We did it anyway, we did it anyway."

"Please grandpa make the decision for us!"

The Peasant Army soldiers who had finished beheading people shouted, and soon even the Peasant Army soldiers who did not participate in the beheading started shouting. It seemed that except for the guard leader and the dozen or so people who fell, the other hundreds of people were all concerned.

They are general officers and soldiers.

But Xu Wenqi knew that was not the case. In fact, they only persuaded and contacted a small number of guards.

At this time, several soldiers dressed as peasant soldiers with unusually strong skills suddenly came out from somewhere on the courtyard wall.

One of them jumped off the wall and shouted: "We are the army, where is Xu Shenzheng?"

"Officers and soldiers?" Although most of the people in the courtyard were full of doubts, they still let Xu Wenqi move to the front.

The people who broke into the yard and claimed to be officers and soldiers obviously recognized Xu Wenqi. As soon as they arrived, they went straight to the rightful owner and kowtowed, saying: "You are the one who participates in politics. You guys are subordinates of the guerrilla general Li Ping. This time we are special."

Came to rescue Zheng Zheng."

"I recognize you." Xu Wenqi suddenly blurted out while staring at Zhao Dongdong.

"Participating in politics has good eyesight! My name is Zhao Dongdong. I was collecting some on Qilin Mountain a few days ago, but there was no good opportunity. I didn't dare to act rashly. Please don't blame me for participating in politics."

"How can you be weird! Zhao Zhuangshi is so brave. How can I be an unreasonable person? Come up and talk." Xu Wenqi laughed heartily as he looked at the few people who jumped in from other courtyard walls.

As soon as Zhao Dongdong got up, Xu Wenqi immediately asked urgently: "How many people are there in the army outside? Are you ready to break the city?"

Xu Wenqi was obviously very aware that the city was still unbroken, and he also guessed that the shouting outside the courtyard just now was Zhao Dongdong's trick.

"We have an army of fifty thousand, vowing to take back Qizhou." Zhao Dongdong opened his mouth.

After taking a sharp breath, the whole courtyard was filled with exclamations. Xu Wenqi was stunned for a moment and praised repeatedly: "Good, good, good."

At this time, Xi Dingxuan, the judge next to Xu Wenqi, secretly pulled Xu Wenqi's sleeve, but Xu Wenqi shook it off without hesitation.

Xi Dingxuan couldn't help but muttered: "Only one guerrilla came."

But this time, Xu Wenqi turned around and glared at Xi Dingxuan fiercely and said, "You are the only one who has a lot to do!"

"Participating in politics, Xiongwumen is still fighting fiercely. We need to support quickly so that the army can enter the city. There may be changes later!" Zhao Dongdong finally couldn't help it anymore.

Xu Wenqi's eyes widened and he immediately shouted to the surroundings: "Sirs and soldiers, the imperial army has broken into the city from many places, but the Xiongwumen are still resisting. Are you willing to come with me to kill the thieves? Tell the imperial court that we are waiting for you.

Be brave and loyal!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"We are willing to follow Grandpa Xu to kill the thief!"

"Kill the thieves, we are loyal to the imperial court."

More than 200 peasant army soldiers in the yard shouted.

"Then everyone should quickly find a piece of white cloth and tie it on their left arm, like me, to avoid being accidentally injured by friendly forces. Anyone with a white cloth on their left arm is one of our own." Zhao Dongdong immediately shouted excitedly.

When hundreds of people in the courtyard finally rushed out of the courtyard and rushed onto the city's main road, what everyone saw was panic-stricken peasant army soldiers running around like headless flies. They could go in the direction of Xiongwumen.
