The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The sudden silence made everyone feel very uncomfortable. Su Jin understood that the other party hadn't figured out the situation, and was stunned all of a sudden. It only took a short while for them to wake up. Unless they attacked now, the other party would Will definitely wake up.Fastest novel update

But this rare vacancy is extremely precious to Su Jin. He seized the time to issue orders, and his troops were stretched. Panjiang didn't know how it was going. It is not surprising to encounter resistance, especially the heads of the various departments of the Yamen. It would be fine if they were ordered by the court to arrest them. Revolt is almost inevitable.

The defenders of the four gates can't move either. With such a big move, it is estimated that the city of Yangzhou has already turned upside down, and there must be some leaked fish who will take advantage of the chaos and flee. Officials who escaped the arrest of Pan Jiang.

The only hope is Song Xiang's [-] soldiers, Su Jin hates it so much, this Song Xiang is simply a wimp, everyone is paralyzed in the temple, and Feng Huo brings only a dozen or twenty soldiers , Bringing so many soldiers to capture people, isn't it easy to capture them like the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves?After tossing and tossing for nearly two hours, he was nowhere to be seen. This old master had done more than succeed in what he had done, so he regretted letting him go, and he might as well have turned around and left at that time.

This dynasty is also true, and there is no trace. Even if there is something wrong, they should come back and report it. Up to now, no one is seen, which makes people crazy with anxiety.

"Ma Han, go to Daming Temple to see what's going on. How come the prefect of Song Dynasty has not yet arrived, and seeing the enemy's counterattack is imminent, it will be a big trouble if they don't come to support."

"But my lord, what should I do here? I don't worry if there is no one around you after I leave."

"What's the matter, can you stop the hundreds of people inside here? If the reinforcements don't come, we will retreat immediately, otherwise we will all die here, go quickly, no matter what happens, bring me back Return to the army, the sooner the better."

Ma Han had no choice but to get out of the alley, rode his horse and galloped away.

Zhao Dutou worriedly said: "My lord, it's not that something happened to Daming Temple, don't let Feng Huo escape, the magistrate is chasing after him!"

Su Jin asked him to talk about the most worrying thing in the center, and sighed: "It's not impossible, but now is not the time to think about those things. Right now, it is extremely urgent. The horse army in the north probably suffered a lot of casualties, and we only have 80 people here." People, the arrows are gone, and they will be troublesome no matter which side they are heading to."

Zhao Dutou said: "Yes, what should I do?"

Su Jin thought for a while and said: "Our side is a fresh force, and we can hold it for a while. If the enemy breaks out from the north again, it may not be able to stop it over there. In this way, you take thirty horse troops to go around to support. Block the north side for me."

Zhao Dutou hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, then there will be 50 people left by Sir's side. Once they choose to rush out from this side, they will definitely be unstoppable."

Su Jin shook his head and said: "There is no way to do this. As soon as the north rushes out, the sheep will be released immediately. With so many hungry wolves scattered in the city, the people will definitely suffer, and it will be very difficult to arrest them. No matter what, we must block them here." , you don’t have to worry on my side, there is such a long street behind me, I have room to retreat, and they have piled up so many things to prevent the horse army from rushing in, now it just becomes their obstacle, it is not easy for them to rush forward , do as I say, tell Zhang Long and the brothers in the north to block the north entrance desperately, and reinforcements will arrive soon."

Zhao Dutou said in his heart: You are painting cakes to satisfy your hunger and hope for plums to quench your thirst, but at this time, you can only give everyone hope. If you know where the reinforcements are, your fighting spirit will lose all of a sudden, then you can't fight.

"Your Excellency, please take care, I have gone to a lowly position." Zhao Du nodded thirty horsemen to exit the alley and go around to the north entrance.

Su Jin felt a little more at ease, adding 30 reinforcements from the north, adding up to the original 70, there would be hundreds of people. Even if there were wounded and dead horse troops, the number would not be very large. After all, the horse army was an army, and the initial Sometimes there are bows and arrows, and it takes only half an hour to go back and forth. The disciples of Longhumen can only organize a few attacks, and they haven't rushed out yet, which shows that there is still fighting power in the north. was breached.

What I have to worry about now is my own side. There are only 50 people under my command. Even if I stand in a line on the street, I can only line up in two or three rows. What's more, the most troublesome thing is that the defensive weapon bows and arrows have been exhausted, and now I can't spare any manpower to go to the house Even if there were manpower, it would be too late to move the bows and arrows from the warehouse of the yamen, so we had to adapt to local conditions, so we had to find a way quickly.

Su Jin wandered around with staring eyes, thinking hard about a good strategy. If they rushed this way, they would not be able to resist, and could only procrastinate. Su Jin's eyes fell on the piles of tables, chairs, benches, etc. piled up in the middle of the road. On the sundries, with an idea, he beckoned to a Ma Jun and said: "Go and ask the brothers to move all the sundries behind to the entrance of the alley, and pile them up tightly, the higher the better, tell them Move lightly and quickly."

Although the Ma Jun didn't understand what he meant, he hesitated for a while and ran over to deliver the order. So, except for the two Ma Jun who were on guard, the remaining 40 people all worked as porters, and they were dragged into the alley behind them. All the sundries in the house were gathered at the entrance of the alley, and they were piled up in a big pile, which was tightly piled up.

This side was very busy, and the soldiers watching in front sent a signal, and it was obvious that the other party had made a move.

Su Jinmao stepped forward, leaned behind the soldier who was watching, poked his head out in the direction of the soldier's finger, and looked over the top of a toilet. In the dim light not far ahead, the dragons on both sides Humen disciples gathered on the porch one after another. They were afraid of shooting with bows and arrows, so they carefully hid behind the pillars one by one, and some held the door panels in front of them.

"My lord, it looks like I'm about to rush, and everyone has come out of the house."

Su Jin nodded and said: "It must be, I hope the Bodhisattva will bless you, it is aimed at us."

The soldier rolled his eyes and said to himself: I have been begging the Bodhisattva for a long time, begging them to rush to the north, but the special envoy begged them to rush this way, I don't know who the Bodhisattva will listen to, but I am an official, I promise The balm money for fulfilling the wish is more, the Bodhisattva will probably listen to him, and this little life will probably be given here.

Su Jin thought for a while, then suddenly yelled loudly: "Damn, are all the people in the north dead? Why don't you rush?"

The sound made the two soldiers around him tremble and the disciples of Longhumen who were gathering quietly. Ma Ming'er and Li Manzi hurriedly pricked up their ears to listen.

The two guarding Ma Jun were at a loss, they didn't know how to speak up, they thought to themselves: I'm afraid the Special Envoy may have lost his mind in a hurry, what the hell are you doing in such a sudden surprise.

"Now that the gangsters are hiding in the houses on both sides, it is a good opportunity to rush in. They still stand still. Even if the casualties are not small, they will not be frightened by these bastards. You go to the north to spread the news. I ordered them to rush in and attack me from inside and outside." Su Jin continued.

A soldier was quite clever, and replied vaguely: "I obey! My lord, I will pass the order."

Su Jin was taken aback. He had no intention of letting the soldiers around him act with him. As soon as the soldier opened his mouth, Su Jin quickly waved his hand, ordering them to shut up. At the same time, he pointed to the back, signaling them to go back.

The two soldiers ran as fast as they could, and a shrill voice said from behind: "My lord, shall we also prepare the fuel arrows?"

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the special envoy sounded again: "Is there even a need to ask? Hurry up and get ready, get ready the dozens of bundles of kerosene arrows you brought, and shoot them into my house as soon as I order you. Today It’s hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart if I don’t burn these bastards to death.”

"But my lord, where did we get a dozen bundles of fuel arrows?...Alas!"

There was a loud and crisp 'snap', and the person with the thin voice was obviously slapped in the face, and then the special envoy scolded under his voice: "You idiot, you also preach it loudly, don't you have many arrows? Don't you know better than you? Go away."

The two horsemen were confused when they heard it. It was obvious that there was only the special envoy behind him. How could there be two voices? When they were panicking, one of them stumbled and fell like a dog, and the other followed in his footsteps. It was only after this slap that the two of them realized that it was the adult who played two roles and played the oboe; I don't know if the "slap" slap just now really slapped me in the face or what? .

The two of them got up and ran back without looking back. When they lost their minds, the same thought flashed in their hearts: I am afraid that the envoy is really crazy. Doesn't this mean telling others that the north is strong and the south is weak?

Li Manzi and Ma Ming'er heard it clearly, and they were skeptical at first, but after the slap, the low-pitched curses made the two people who pricked up their ears very excited.

"This dog officer is still planning to play suspicious tricks. He wants to use some kerosene arrows to scare us into rushing to the north. Don't ask, the north must be guarded like an iron barrel. They dare not rush in because they are afraid of being tricked by us in the dark. " Ma Minger sneered in a low voice.

"Second Senior Brother, what are you waiting for, let's charge, this dog official has a guilty conscience, he must not have many people on hand, and he definitely doesn't have any fuel arrows."

"Do you need to ask? If there is something, it has already been shot in. Tell the brothers, tighten your belt, hold the thing in your hand firmly, and follow us to the south. It is best to capture this dog officer alive. It seems to be a Generals in the army can also use it when they go out of the city gate."

Li Manzi laughed, raised the steel knife in his hand, and let out a howl like ghosts and wolves: "Brothers, if you want to survive, follow the men and rush out of the city with the dog officer, and go up the mountain to be the king...!"
