The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 81 Attacking Qingzhou at night, Song Jiang was defeated ([-])

Everyone raised their heads one after another and looked at Zhao Gou in puzzlement. Asking 100 of them to open the gate of the city is simply a fantasy. It is an impossible task. Letting 100 of them go is not enough for the Liangshan army to squeeze their teeth, so what should they do? Open the city gate?

Liu Qi asked: "My lord, you asked them to open the city gate with 100 people? Isn't this a dead end? The Liangshan army is not strong enough, and it is impossible to allow our army to open the city gate."

Everyone also looked at Zhao Gou in amazement. If they were really allowed to rush up, they would be wiped out in all likelihood, and they would be sent to death.However, they also found it strange that with Zhao Gou's character, it was impossible for these people to be cannon fodder.

Zhao Gou explained: "You don't have to worry, you won't really die in vain! In addition, I will personally lead you to this operation."

Zeng Xiaoyun interrupted: "No! Your Excellency is the commander-in-chief of the first army, how can you take risks, and send someone else to go on this matter."

Zhao Gou made up his mind and said firmly: "There is no need to talk about this matter anymore, the decision is made, so let's do it like this."

Then, Zhao Gou ordered all 100 people to unload their weapons and equipment and go into battle lightly. All of them had only sabers for self-defense and ropes.Everyone knew that Zhao Gou was planning to attack Qingzhou City at night, so it was no wonder that he said that he had obtained the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.

Moreover, Zhao Gou ordered Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others to lead a team of archers to assist them.As for Tang Huai, Wu Lin and others, they led an assault army, each of whom was skilled in martial arts, and entered the city immediately after the city gate was opened, and killed anyone who resisted without mercy.

Zeng Xiaoyun and others controlled the army, and the army charged first, and the army followed immediately. They could not linger, and they must seize Qingzhou City in one fell swoop.Everyone obeys orders and dare not refute.

Finally, Zhao Gou changed into casual clothes himself, blending in with the night again.If you don't observe carefully, it is really difficult to find their figures.

So Zhao Gou personally led a square team of 100 people, and Zhang Xian also followed them, and sneaked under the city wall in the dark.Everyone looked up at the high wall, they had nothing to do, wondering what Zhao Gou was thinking. This high wall was only ten meters high, so how could it be easily passed through.

Zhao Gou lowered his voice and said: "You all stay here, don't be spotted by the enemy, wait for me to go up first, and then climb up when you see the rope, you must remember, don't make any noise, so as not to be discovered by the Liangshan army our shadows."

Everyone nodded, Zhang Xian saw Zhao Gou going alone, he was a little worried, his injury has not recovered, and he can't use force, how can he climb the city wall, he persuaded: "My lord, I'd better go with you, it's okay Take care with you."

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if I can't use force, they will never hurt me. Besides, your martial arts are not yet able to climb the city wall. If you attract the attention of the enemy, the plan will come to nothing. By then I know how many brothers will be killed or injured, you wait here, and you will go up after I go up."

Zhang Xian wanted to say something more, but Zhao Gou didn't give him a chance, and started to climb slowly.Everyone didn't dare to take a breath, the surroundings were quiet, and the tense atmosphere permeated everyone's hearts, and they felt a little curious, wondering what method Zhao Gou would take to go up.

I saw Zhao Gou jumping away, it was a foot high, everyone was dumbfounded, the city wall was only four feet high, and he climbed a quarter of it with one jump.Then, everyone saw two more daggers in Zhao Gou's hand, and they thrust them into the city wall fiercely, using them as their own stepping stones, like a flat road, without any obstacles.

After a while, Zhao Gou had already climbed onto the city wall, poked his head out quietly, and observed the surrounding situation on tiptoe. You guessed that I would attack Qingzhou City, otherwise the guards would not be so tight."

Zhao Gou knew that it was not suitable to attack at this time, and if he was not careful, he would startle the enemy, so he had to wait for the opportunity.As time passed by, Zhao Gou's forehead was covered with sweat, and he was struggling to support himself. The injury caused by Lu Junyi hadn't healed yet, and it had some influence on him.

If there is no injury, you can go to Qingzhou City alone without the help of soldiers.At the same time, Zhang Xian and the others waited anxiously under the city. They didn't see any movement for a long time. They were worried, and they didn't hear the sound of fighting, so they were relieved and still a little impatient.

After waiting for a full hour, Zhao Gou's whole body was drenched, and he held on to prevent himself from falling. His hands were exhausted, and he was about to be unable to hold on. However, he saw the soldiers on the tower changing shifts, leaving only a few More than a dozen people waited, while others went down the tower.

"good chance!"

Zhao Gou was secretly happy, and quickly let go of the rope from his body, and then quietly climbed up the tower.The torches on the tower were crumbling by the breeze, unable to illuminate his figure.

In a short time, Zhao Gou hid himself in the shadow of the city tower, and quietly tied the rope and tied it to the wall.The thick ropes were lowered one after another, and the people waiting under the city wall hurriedly climbed along the ropes. Zhang Xian was the first to go up without any hesitation.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city patrolled in the direction of Zhao Gou.When Zhao Gou was about to attack, he was called back by his companions.

The man lazily said: "Don't go there, no one can climb over the city wall at all, and I don't know why the military commander arranged for me to wait. Before, there were only a dozen or so people. Now dozens of people are sent to guard the city." , Could it be that Song Jun really has such a great ability to attack Qingzhou City at night?"

"What if the Song army really attacked?" Another soldier asked worriedly.

The man smiled indifferently, and said: "It seems that you are new here, why don't you know this way? It's just a show. We are not really soldiers, we are all poor people, how can we get along with you?" They are on the same level, listen to me, take a break when it’s time to rest, someone will watch over the time, and everyone will take turns to rest.”

Zhao Gou smiled wryly when he heard that, Liangshan Army still has such soldiers.If such a thing happened in the Song army, there must be an uproar.The conversation between the two of them also sounded the alarm to Zhao Gou. To clean up the military atmosphere, such soldiers are absolutely not allowed to appear.

At this time, Zhao Gou felt a little lucky. If it weren't for their half-baked soldiers, it would not be possible to easily occupy the tower.Zhao Gou quietly came behind them and knocked down everyone one by one.Zhang Xian and the others also stepped up to the gate tower one after another.

Zhao Gou glanced over and said in a low voice, "Why are there only 50 people?"

Zhang Xian replied embarrassingly: "When I came up before, I was too strong and almost fell. In the end, I stuck a dagger on the city wall and it was not easy to climb up. However, I also cut off the rope. Therefore, only one rope can It’s also broken when you come up, so there are only so many people.”

Zhao Gou looked at Zhang Xian dumbfounded, shook his head helplessly, and said, "If that's the case, then forget it! 50 people are 50 people, listen carefully, you must be careful, and you must open the city gate. Zhang Xian, as you Pioneer, we must stop the soldiers of the Liangshan Army, after the city gate is opened, our army can drive straight in."

Everyone nodded in unison, and then walked slowly towards the city gate.All the scattered soldiers on the tower were knocked down by Zhang Xian, and Zhao Gou led the crowd to follow behind.After a while, they finally arrived at the city gate, looked at the huge door bolt, and then the four of them worked together to lift it.

It's just that the city gate is too thick, and ten people went to slowly open the city gate, and a piercing voice suddenly sounded.The Liangshan army who was changing shifts also arrived at the gate of the city. Everyone saw a group of men in black open the gate and shouted loudly: "The Song army is attacking, the Song army is attacking!..."

"Not good!" Zhao Gou said anxiously, the Liangshan army discovered the city gate before it was opened, so he ordered everyone to say in a deep voice, "Brothers, stand up for me, you must insist on the army coming, or all previous efforts will be in vain. Don't take the initiative to attack, defend as much as possible, and save energy."

The patrolling army of Qingzhou City heard the roar of the defenders, and immediately ran towards the city gate, and someone reported to the residence of Song Jiang and others.Zhao Gou knew that this battle was inevitable, and he couldn't allow him to have any chance to think, so he had to fight against them.So Zhao Gou ordered everyone to swear to the death to guard the city gate, and they must wait until the army arrives.
