Chapter 441: Re-entering the city, there will be retribution(2/2)
These people were really bold and careful. They even took advantage of the new general's troops to launch an attack. By the way, Chen Yongfu's troops were only one or two hours away from here, and the fast horse didn't even take half an hour. When the soldiers arrived, these thieves would no longer be rampant.
However, thinking of this, Gao Yuemin's mind seemed to have a flash of lightning flashed, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, which made Yue Min's lips tremble. He is now staring at the west direction of the city, where the beacon tower is located. It must be lit, and everything will be fine after it is ignited.
The soldiers guarding the city in Pingyao County were able to get enough money, so they were quite attentive to do things. The general manager who was responsible for the county guard at night also sent people to patrol and guard.
Therefore, the soldiers on the walls of Xicheng were really confused about how the robbers entered the city. In addition to the Gao family and Sheng family, they were even their local friends. The guests in the inn were also verified and verified. No unknown outsiders would sneak in.
The soldiers of Pingyao City are indeed loyal to their duties. Because when they are on duty, they all live in shacks on the top of the city just to react quickly.
But they were alerted not by the bells and rope nets hanging on the top of the city, but by the sound of the gongs and gongs of the Gao family and Sheng family.
The soldiers who got up were even more panicked than the Gao family and Sheng family members because they knew that in such a situation, there was only one possibility that the city gate was opened from the inside, and this was the real big trouble.
The panicked soldiers on the city wall only knew to light the beacon after the officers shouted. The beacon tower was on a high place on the city wall, and there was a large pit surrounded by bricks and stones. It was filled with dry firewood and cows and horse manure. After it was lit, thick smoke came out.
The soldiers rushed towards the beacon tower in chaos, took torches for lighting, and arrived at the pit, pulled the cover away, and lit them when they poked them down.
But when the torch was reached into it, the soldiers who were completely panicked reached out and digged it. When they touched the fire pit, they screamed. The fire pit was filled with wet soil at some point, and depending on the humidity, they should have been filled in the afternoon.
In each city in Shanxi, especially in Taiyuan, Fenzhou, and Datong, each city has beijing towers. It is necessary to conduct routine inspections because the Mongolian Tatars invaded. They often come in from Shanxi, from the border to the inside, ignite one more beijing tower, and there will be a little more warning.
Checking the beacon tower once every three days is a rule, which shows that the wet soil has been filled on the ground these days, which makes the soldiers even more frightened. Except for the routine inspections at night, everyone is sleeping lazy, so why did this make the other party seize the loophole, and it means that the enemy is in the city.
The soldiers gathered on the beacon tower soon proved their conjecture. Someone had already rushed to the city with torches. Seeing that their clothes were dressed by civilians, their weapons and manners were all the temperaments of elite soldiers. Now, the only way they can react is to fight.
The small flag of the military and military district in Pingyao County pulled out hissing:
"Master Gao treats us well, go out and fight with them..."
The sound suddenly stopped. The little flag looked at the tip of the knife that appeared on his chest, his eyes were protruding, and his throat made a sound, and he carried it to the blue brick surface at the top of the city with a slight sound. He listened to his subordinates behind him in a crying voice:
"San brother, I'm sorry, brothers and wives and children, I can't help it..."
One thing mentioned earlier is that in addition to the private houses of the Gao family and Sheng family in the city, they are their shops and warehouses. The families and industries of these rural soldiers are outside the city. Since they are outside the city, their natural defense is not too strict, so there are naturally many opportunities to get involved.
"There are the heroes outside? Our old man said that Goldman Sachs and I don't lack gold and silver. It's not impossible to take it out to make friends with all the heroes. As long as you can agree, you won't hurt..."
A manager lying on the wall, his voice was interrupted by the fired musket. I don’t know how many people there were surrounded by the two courtyards, and only scattered torches were burning.
"Sir General, the four city gates have been blocked. The soldiers in the city have been driven out of the city, and the Gao family and Sheng family are already surrounded."
"ignition!!"
With a cold command, the light of the torch began to spread, and the stars gradually became dense. Soon, the light of the torch brightened the lights of the entire Pingyao City.
Outside the main entrance of the Gao family, there is a very spacious open space, which is the style of the Gao family. As long as you walk by this gate, all ordinary people cannot take a horse and take a car, and must walk over. Moreover, there are guests in the grand ceremony to welcome guests here, so it is particularly spacious.
However, the spacious ground became very crowded at this time, with soldiers lined up neatly and four cannons, while Chen Yongfu and Garys stood behind the cannons.
A personal soldier of the new Datong General Chen Yongfu stood in front of the gate and shouted loudly:
"I ask your Goldman Sachs, your boss and shopkeeper to come to this door, don't play tricks, it's up to one stick of incense."
The personal soldier did not say anything threatening, but walked behind the cannons, and two cannons facing the door were lit up.
The support behind the large iron wooden door was very strong, but the power of the shell directly broke the wooden door, and the two guns followed directly defeated the magnificent gatehouse.
In the face of such power, in front of the dense surroundings, in the fact that the beacon on the surrounding city walls had never been lit, the people of the Gao family and the Sheng family knew that there were no more tricks to play with.
Almost when a short incense was burning out, when people arrived at the door, Gao Yuemin and Sheng Zhiquan, who were pretending to be calm, saw Chen Yongfu wearing armored military uniforms and the array of soldiers behind them, the only glimmer of hope became despair. They were not afraid of hiding their identities and blatantly siege the city and breaking the gate. The next thing to do was to silence them.
Looking at the Gao family and Sheng family who were trembling as if they were sieves, and the shopkeepers who worked for them, Oman Garris walked up to the front without expression and shouted loudly in stiff language:
"A noble Lord told me to give you a few words... The armor and weapons used by the Tartars to sell them, and the various information and information that the Tartars won the victory were told to them, because you, how many innocent civilians in the Ming Dynasty died, and your silver was covered with the blood of all the people in the world. Today, the innocent souls that were killed by you have come to you for your life!!"
