Fenghou

Chapter 220 Arrest
The main officer on duty tonight is Zheng Ping. He happens to be in Beicheng, but he is at the easternmost end of Beicheng, looking at the enemy camp.

"Look, general!" shouted a soldier behind him.

When Zheng Ping turned his head, he saw a gunpowder arrow flying into the sky. Zheng Ping was taken aback. What's going on?

At this time, there was a commotion ahead, and the patrol found the injured Xiao Qun.

Zheng Ping got on his horse and galloped up.

"What happened?"

"General Qi, a brother was injured, and it is said that a man in black turned over to the top of the wall."

The man in black actually entered the city?
Zheng Ping's eyes widened. Seeing the injured Xiao Qun, he asked anxiously, "Did you shoot the gunpowder arrow?"

"It's the villain!"

"How many men in black are there, and where did they go?"

"Reporting to the general, there are about [-] or [-] people, going to the city."

Xiao Qun pointed to the middle of the city, Zheng Ping looked at the dark city, he suddenly realized, "Not good! Sound the alarm immediately!"

Zheng Ping has already realized that the other party must have gone to the warehouse, that is the grain and grass warehouse!Once the grain depot is burned down, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He was so anxious that he led hundreds of soldiers to the grain and grass depot.

At this time, the alarm bells in the city rang out, 'Dang!when!when!when! '

The whole castle was awakened by the alarm bell. Chen Qing hadn't fallen asleep yet. When he heard the alarm of gunpowder arrows, he immediately got on his horse and led a large number of soldiers to the middle of the city.

The central part of the city pool was originally the Town God's Temple, which was transformed into a grain and grass warehouse by the Song army. Tall board walls were built around it. The wood used was captured from Zhang Zhongxiong's army. It is a city within a city of four miles.

Grain, money, kerosene, gunpowder, and other important supplies are stored here. Two thousand soldiers are on duty day and night, and no one is allowed to approach easily. kinds of supplies.

The general on duty at the warehouse tonight is Commander Li Jing, who is also a veteran who has been following Chen Qing. He is from Linyou County. He participated in the Battle of Jiandao Pass and was promoted from Dutou. This is a warning sign.

Li Jing immediately ordered hundreds of subordinates to pay attention to the situation in the north with crossbow arrows in hand.

At this time, he saw dozens of men in black rushing from the north, and he immediately shouted: "Warning!"

A dozen arrows were shot, and the soldiers shouted: "Stop!"

But instead of stopping, dozens of men in black sped up their speed.

Li Jing made a decisive decision and shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

Random arrows were fired, and hundreds of arrows were shot at the men in black. Although the men in black were highly skilled in martial arts, they couldn't dodge the powerful and dense crossbow arrows, and more than a dozen people were shot down.

At the same time, three gunpowder arrows shot into the sky to warn for help
Liang Gui, the vice-commander of Heijintang, also saw the gunpowder arrow above the north city wall. He knew that it must have been shot by the escaped sentry.

Liang Gui and his men didn't care about being exposed, they went straight to the warehouse, even if the other party warned them, they didn't stop.

After the opponent finished shooting a round of arrows, he seized the gap of the winding string, and he shouted, "Throwing guy!"

Each of them carried three short torches, made of hardwood, about half a foot long, and weighed one catty. They were not easy to extinguish after being ignited, and they were very convenient for throwing. This was also an arson tool developed by Heijintang.

More than a dozen martial artists in black lit the torch, but before they could throw it, the second round of hundreds of crossbow arrows shot over the city first. Except for five or six men in black hiding under the eaves, the men in black on the street All of them were shot, and they held lit torches in their hands, and they were the targets shot by soldiers of the Song Army.

At this time, Zheng Ping came from behind with hundreds of soldiers. Liang Gui, who was hiding under the eaves, was about to despair. He suddenly jumped out and threw the burning torch in his hand into the warehouse. , enough to throw a dozen feet away.

Seeing that the torch was thrown into the warehouse over the high wall, at this critical moment, an arrow 'whoosh! The shot came from the ground and hit the torch in the middle of the air. The torch lost its power and fell on the board wall with a clatter, where the soldiers grabbed it and stomped it out.

As soon as Liang Gui turned his head, he saw a cavalry rushing out from the side. The leading general was wearing a red-tasseled pocket, wearing mountain-patterned armor, holding a riding bow in his hand, and was aiming at himself.

Liang Gui was taken aback, rolled over, and before he got up, he said, 'Pfft! An arrow hit him between the eyebrows, Liang Gui screamed and died instantly.

The chief general of the cavalry was Chen Qing. He led his men to take a small path and intercepted the most critical torch.

Zheng Ping's army also rushed forward, pressing and binding the last men in black who knelt and surrendered.

Not long after, Yang Yuanqing stepped forward and said: "Just now, I interrogated several arrestees separately, and it was confirmed that there were thirty-one of them in total, and they were all warriors from Xixia Heijintang. The victims and the corpses on the ground, a total of [-] people, three people are missing."

Chen Qing said with a gloomy face: "The whole city is under martial law, and another three thousand people will be sent to surround the warehouse. Anyone who gets close will be killed, and those who report meritorious service will be rewarded with hundreds of coins. The barracks must also be strictly guarded."

"Follow the order!" Yang Yuanqing hurried away.

Zheng Ping came over, pointed at the soldiers beside him and said, "This is the brother who escaped the assassination by the black-clothed warrior and shot the gunpowder arrow in time!"

This soldier has indeed made great contributions. If he hadn't called the police, something serious would have happened tonight. Chen Qing nodded approvingly, "What's your name, where are you from?"

"The villain's name is Xiao Qun, from Zhongnan County!"

"Have you avoided the assassination of enemy warriors and practiced martial arts?"

"Reporting to the control system, the villain has not specially trained in martial arts, but he followed his father to hunt in Zhongnan Mountain since he was a child, and his skills are relatively agile."

"If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and you will be rewarded with a hundred coins, and you will be promoted to the escort team!"

Xiao Qun was just an ordinary pawn. He was immediately promoted to the escort team. He was overjoyed and knelt down on one knee, "Thank you for the reward!"

"Let's go! Lead the way ahead, I want to see the enemy's way up to the city."

At this time, the entire Ganquan Fort was under martial law. Yang Yuanqing mobilized [-] troops, [-] people surrounded the warehouse, [-] people protected the camp, and [-] soldiers searched for the three escaped warriors throughout the city.

When Chen Qing came to the north city, Xiao Qun pointed to the battlements and said, "They suddenly appeared from here, right in front of the villain."

"They didn't use rope or steel claws?"

Xiao Qun shook his head, "No! I didn't use any tools. If I used tools, I would definitely see it."

Zheng Ping scratched his head, wondering: "The city wall is so smooth, without tools, how can they go to the city?"

Chen Qing smiled lightly, "There are many ways, such as building a ladder, or using a ladder, which is a little lower than the city wall, so you won't be discovered."

Speaking of this, Chen Qing said again: "The key is not how the opponent goes to the city, but that this is a defensive loophole. We didn't consider that the enemy army would find some warriors with high martial arts skills. We will plug this defensive loophole next. , I suggest building three horse walls outside the city, so that there will be people standing guard outside the walls, and the patrol force should be strengthened, and the soldiers must look outside when patrolling.”

Zheng Ping nodded, "Understood, I will start building the horse wall tomorrow, and increase the number of patrol soldiers in the northern city to [-], so as to ensure that the same mistake will not happen again."

This incident also allowed Chen Qing to learn the difference between the Xixia people. Perhaps because of their weaker national power, the Xixia people prefer to use some low-cost means, such as assassination, sneak attack, etc. Give the Xixia people any chance.

As soon as Chen Qing came down from Beicheng, soldiers came to report, "Reporting to the government, the three escaped Heijintang warriors have been captured!"

Chen Qing was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Where did you catch it?"

"It's south of the warehouse!"

Chen Qing urged his horse to run towards the south of the warehouse. A large number of soldiers gathered on the street south of the warehouse. The corpses of three black-clothed warriors were dragged out, their bodies covered with arrows.

Seeing Chen Qing approaching, Yang Zaixing hurriedly cupped his fists and reported, "To report to the authorities, they hid in this private house and kidnapped several women with children. As a result, a child came out of the dog hole and reported to the patrolling soldiers. "

"Are the people injured?"

"Two women were slightly injured, but no one was killed. They rushed out and tried to escape, but were shot to death by random arrows!"

After capturing the last three black-clothed warriors, Chen Qingcai breathed a sigh of relief.
