Chapter 1901 It’s too late
“The governor has an order to open the city gate and invite the reinforcement brothers from Yangcheng Guard to enter the city.”
Zhifu Zhao’s order was passed down one after another, and the city The door slowly opened with a creaking sound.
"Welcome, warm welcome, brothers and reinforcements from Yangcheng Guard, please come into the city. Hot food and rice will be here soon."
The city gate defenders opened the city gate and stood in the city On both sides of the gate, Xu Hai and others disguised themselves as Japanese pirates and entered Jiaxing City.
"Thank you, Lord Fu, thank you all, thank you all brothers."
Seeing the city gate open, Xu Hai couldn't help but grinned, and clasped his fists with both hands to thank the city head and the city gate.
This time he learned the lessons from the Suzhou city, imitated the Zhejiang army's method of entering the city, and ordered his Japanese pirates to quickly line up and enter the city.
"Hey, that's good. The soldiers of the Yangcheng Guards are pretty good. You can see that the queues are quite neat. They enter the city really fast."
The officials at the top of the city saw that they were at the bottom of the city. Xu Hai and others disguised as Japanese pirates lined up and quickly entered the city. They couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise them.
"What's the point? We can do it if we want to, but we just don't bother to do it. What's the use of lining up? It's like showing off your fists and embroidering your legs. It's useless." General Wang curled his lips with some sourness and said disdainfully. .
"Haha."
The people around him responded, "We don't know what kind of army you have. It's strange that you can do it."
Under the city, Xu Hai and other disguised Japanese pirates entered the city very quickly, and about 80% of them were inside in the blink of an eye.
At this time, there was an official on the city wall, like other officials, looking relaxedly at the reinforcements entering the city. Suddenly he seemed to find something wrong. He rubbed his eyes, glanced at them with wide eyes, and rubbed them hard again. He rubbed his eyes and suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, "No, no, the soldiers and horses below the city are not right!".
The official's shout was like a basin of cold water poured into a boiling pan of oil, which suddenly alerted all the officials on the city.
"Master Liu, what's wrong? What's wrong with the soldiers and horses under the city?" The surrounding officials were startled and asked quickly.
"What's wrong, Chief Liu, tell me quickly, what's wrong with the soldiers and horses in the city?!" Magistrate Zhao was also worried.
“It’s too late to elaborate, Lord Mansion, hurry up and order the city gate to be closed, quickly mobilize your troops to surround and capture the soldiers and horses entering the city! Otherwise, it will be too late!” Manager Liu had no time to explain. , urged Magistrate Zhao anxiously.
"Mr. Liu, you have to tell me clearly what's wrong before I can give the order. I can't take down the reinforcements' vanguard troops just because of your words. If this thing gets serious, there will be more incidents there in the future. Do any reinforcements dare to rescue our Jiaxing City?!"
Magistrate Zhao said displeased.
He was very dissatisfied with Director Liu's tone.
Not only did Chief Liu not answer his questions, but he also went beyond the authority of his subordinates and made the following mistakes, daring to command him, the head of the house.
You know, just now, Governor Zhao publicly verified the identity of the Yangcheng Guards vanguard under the city and personally confirmed that there was no problem. As a result, you, Chief Liu, said that the reinforcements under the city were wrong. Isn’t this a slap in the face of Governor Zhao? ?!
So, Magistrate Zhao was very unhappy.
Seeing that Magistrate Zhao was unmoved, Chief Liu had no choice but to sigh and explain hurriedly.
"Your Excellency, gentlemen, many of the so-called vanguard reinforcements under the city have blood stains on their uniforms and armor! If you look carefully, you can find that some of them have sword wounds on their uniforms."
“Moreover, most of their military uniforms don’t fit well. They are either too long or too short.”
"Also, there are their weapons. There are so many Japanese swords and tachis, which are commonly used weapons by Japanese pirates!"
"These people are definitely not the vanguard reinforcements of Yangcheng Guards. They are deliberately pretending to be Yangcheng. The reinforcements coming from Wei must have bad intentions. Based on the information about the Japanese pirates entering the country, there is a high probability that they are Japanese pirates fleeing the country!"
"Master, please quickly order the city gates to be closed and mobilize your troops to capture those who enter the city. Otherwise, it will be too late."
Director Liu said anxiously, urging Magistrate Zhao to hurry up again and again. Close the city gates and mobilize your troops.
“What?! Japanese pirates?!”
“Damn it, the reinforcements turned into Japanese pirates?! Sir Liu, don’t joke about this! Aren’t they reinforcements from Yangcheng Guard? Maybe a Japanese pirate? !”
After listening to Chief Liu’s words, the surrounding officials felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They were all stunned, their faces turned pale, they were covered in cold sweat, and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva. They were in disbelief. said.
"Are you kidding? Who is in the mood to joke with you at this time! You have eyes, see for yourselves! Before, they used less torches outside the city gate to see clearly and didn't notice. When they entered the city, in front of the city gate The lights were bright, and I just discovered it. If you don’t believe it, see for yourself now.”
Director Liu said anxiously.
After hearing this, Zhifu Zhao and others quickly lay on the wall and looked towards the city gate.
I saw that the city gate was brightly lit, reinforcements were lining up, and they quickly entered the city. The lights illuminated their clothes clearly.
Everyone looked carefully with their eyes wide open. Sure enough, they saw that there were blood stains on the armor of several people's military uniforms. They also saw that one person's military uniform had an obvious wound from a knife. The cotton clothes around the knife wound were soaked. Red blood!
Now it’s clear!
The military uniforms on these people are definitely not theirs, but those of the Ming army they robbed! They still kill to seize the uniforms!
Kill to seize the uniforms! Who can do such a thing, can they be reinforcements who come to save lives?! They can only be Japanese pirates who come to take lives!
“Close the city gate, close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!”
Zhifu Zhao didn’t know the seriousness of the problem. Instantly, the spirit of death came out, his face turned pale, he almost jumped up and gave an order loudly.
"Close the city gate, close the city gate, it's Japanese pirates who are entering the city! Close the city gate quickly! Don't let them enter the city again!"
"Close the city gate quickly!"
On the city All the officials rushed around and passed on the order from Magistrate Zhao, ordering the gatekeepers to close the city gate quickly.
However, it was too late.
At this time, Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates who had disguised themselves had already entered the city 90% of the time. When they heard the urgent order to close the city gate from the top of the city, Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates immediately knew that they had been exposed. .
Before the defenders at the city could react, Xu Hai and other disguised Japanese pirates had already slashed at them with their swords.
In an instant, the unsuspecting gatekeepers screamed and were chopped down to the ground like melons and vegetables by the Japanese pirates.
"General Wang, General Zhang, hurry up, you go organize some soldiers and horses to go down the city wall and capture the Japanese pirates who enter the city! Chief Zhang, you go and select elite soldiers and horses, the more the better, protect me and evacuate quickly ! Hurry up! !”
After ordering the city gate to be closed, Magistrate Zhao quickly ordered General Wang and General Zhang to organize soldiers and horses to go down the city wall to capture the disguised Japanese pirates who entered the city, and ordered Chief Zhang to select elite soldiers and horses to protect them. Evacuate. (End of this chapter)
