Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 635 Sneaking into Suzhou City

Zhao Min also smiled at this time and said: "This has saved us a lot of things. Is this Zhu Yuanzhang's head broken? He would actually do such a stupid trick."

Zhang Wuji said: "Yes, it seems that this guy must have jumped over the wall. Otherwise, I can't figure out why he would do this."

Su Mengqing asked at this time: "Then what should we do now?"

Zhang Wuji chuckled, put down the battle report in his hand, and continued: "Since Zhu Yuanzhang has cleaned them up for us, it saves us the time to do anything. Our top priority now is to eliminate Zhang Shicheng. Get the million taels of silver in Suzhou City. . Now Zhang Shicheng has huddled in Suzhou City. He has become a turtle in a urn. Sister Su, where is the secret passage you mentioned before? "

Ho Jia, who was sitting aside, said at this time: "Do we need any secret passages to break in? I think the wall of Suzhou City is not very high. We can go around it by ourselves, then kill the soldiers guarding the city, and finally open it. City gate, let the army enter the city. If your Majesty doesn't want to go, I can do it for you."

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji shook his head and said: "This time is different from the past. Suzhou City is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River. It is extremely heavily guarded. Moreover, Zhang Shicheng has many soldiers entrenched in the city. Naturally, we can easily break in, but if we are behind It is not an easy task to push open the solid city gate in the midst of a heavy siege."

Su Mengqing also nodded at this time and said: "It is indeed as the emperor said. The gates of Suzhou City are all made of solid wood, with copper and iron on them. They are very heavy. Besides, [-]% of the gates are now blocked, and there is no way to force it. It's broken. If you want to enter the city, taking the secret passage of our Su family is the best choice."

Zhao Min asked at this time: "So how are we prepared now?"

Zhang Wuji said: "After these few days of repairs, we are fully prepared. Moreover, the place where the secret passage is is very secret and has been occupied by us. If you want to sneak in, Zhang Shicheng will not find it. Tonight is The end of the month, when there is no moonlight at night, is the best time.”

At night, everyone followed the previous plan and began to infiltrate Suzhou City from a small village ten miles outside Suzhou City.

This small village outside the city is now deserted.This was originally a village specially funded by the Su family in order to escape in the future after they became prosperous.Many people in this village were once servants of the Su family.Therefore, the people in this village are very reliable to the Su family.

The Su family often set up warehouses here and conducted commercial transfers, although this made little commercial sense.But the purpose of the Su family is to stop here. First of all, it is to cover up people's eyes. If everyone knows that the Su family has a cargo station here, then no one will be suspicious of the Su family secretly using secret passages to move things in the future.

Secondly, it is to feed the direct villagers here and give them a livelihood of loading and unloading goods.Don’t let them go elsewhere to make a living.

Zhang Wuji and others entered the secret passage. This secret passage was very narrow and could only accommodate one person walking in the front and rear.In some places you even have to bend down.

Even so, this secret passage has brought a lot of benefits to the Su family. The biggest benefit is "tax evasion". There are many goods that the Su family uses this secret passage to transport into Suzhou City. In this way, Come to avoid city gate taxes.Without the government's tax collection, these goods would immediately become profitable.

However, this method is usually used by the Su family when business is not going well and they need to reduce costs, or when the tax price of a certain item of goods is too high.

By Su Bancheng's generation, the Su family's business had reached its peak and they were already rich in half of Suzhou City. Naturally, there was no need to use this secret passage anymore.

Therefore, this secret passage has lasted for several generations in the Su family without being discovered by others.But today, the secret passage of the Su family has become Zhang Shicheng's Achilles' heel.

The city of Suzhou is highly fortified. Zhang Wuji did not destroy Zhu Yuanzhang, and land transportation was not opened, so he could not bring in heavy siege equipment.If Zhang Shicheng were to defend the city, then no matter how brave the Ming army was, the possibility of capturing the city would be almost zero.

But this secret passage allowed the Ming army to seize this heavily guarded city without anyone noticing.

At midnight, two thousand elite forwards led by Zhang Wuji arrived in Suzhou City, under the Su family's house.

At the end of the secret passage is an underground warehouse.When she was nearing the end, Su Mengqing slowly took away a wall brick and carefully looked into the warehouse. Only when she confirmed that there was no one guarding here did she push the secret door open.The leader Zhang Wuji and others jumped out of the secret passage.

This time, not many people came.There are only four people, Zhang Wuji, Xiao Zhao, Huo Jia and Su Mengqing.The rest of the people stayed behind in the camp. After all, they were all big girls who liked to be clean. They couldn't bear to crawl around in the earth-smelling tunnel.

Su Mengqing actually didn't want to come, but she had no choice. No one was more familiar with this place than her, so she could only lead the team.

As for Huo Jia, she just came in to join in the fun, but she was very skilled in martial arts and a capable assistant, so Zhang Wuji allowed her to come along.

As for Xiao Zhao, it's simple. She goes wherever Zhang Wuji goes.If it weren't for Zhang Wuji's instructions, she would be by the young master's side at all times.

After exiting the secret passage, Su Mengqing took out a night-light pearl close to her body and illuminated the surrounding area.

Zhang Wuji looked at the "little cat faces" of everyone and couldn't help but laugh.

When Su Mengqing saw this, she quickly blocked Zhang Wuji's mouth.She said: "Hush! This is the warehouse under the woodshed. There may be enemies here. If we are caught talking loudly, we will be in trouble."

Zhang Wuji nodded silently, and then Su Mengqing let go.

Xiao Zhao didn't care that her body was covered with dust. She took out a clean handkerchief from her arms and wiped it with Zhang Wuji using the faint light.

Seeing the affectionate look between the two of them, Huo Jia couldn't help but curl his lips.

Su Mengqing held the Night Pearl in one hand and a short sword in the other. She quietly walked to the entrance of the underground warehouse.

At this time, the subsequent soldiers also followed in. Although everyone was in a panic, everyone was in a good state and mentality.

After all, it is much better to be a "rat" burrowing in the ground than climbing the city wall, which could lead to death at any time.They even hope that there will be such tunnels to drill in future siege battles.

Su Mengqing gently used her dagger to open the entrance to the tunnel. She opened the flap and looked around. After confirming that there was no one else in the woodshed, he waved to Zhang Wuji behind him.

Zhang Wuji told the guards around him, "I'll go explore the situation outside first."You guys are on standby here.

After everyone got the order, they stayed in the basement to rest for the time being.

Zhang Wuji took Huo Jia and Xiao Zhao, followed Su Mengqing's footsteps, and walked up to the Su family's woodshed.

As soon as the four people came out of the tunnel and hid their figures in the woodshed, they saw the fire outside the window and heard the sound of the patrol.
