People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 613 Hangzhou City Opened, Burned, Killed and Looted
The night was deep, and the entire city of Hangzhou was immersed in darkness, which was extraordinarily quiet.

Outside the Lumen in the south of the city, in a low courtyard, there was a faint rustling sound brought by the wind.

"Wen Zhong, tell me, where is the King of Nanchang now?"

The voice was very low, and under the faint light of the crescent moon, countless dense figures could be clearly seen standing in the courtyard.

Wen Xu was wearing a silver chain mail, standing at the front, looking sideways at his companions.

Wen Zhong, who was in his thirties, held a long knife tightly in his hand and was also wearing a silver chain mail. Although there was a trace of nervousness in his expression, he still said seriously: "Should have arrived in Dengzhou, this time it seems that the court It’s time to clean up the Silla people. But then again, those Silla people really need to be cleaned up.”

Wen Zhong didn't have much good opinion of Silla, or most Tang people didn't like the capricious Silla people.

"It's not that simple." Wen Xu shook his head slightly, without further explanation.

The matter between the King of the East China Sea and Silla's Goulian, who surrendered to Wusheng Dao's black pawns, only Wen Xu knew the whole picture.

This time it is not easy for Datang to conquer Silla. Similarly, it is not easy for Silla to defeat Datang like Goguryeo.

Wen Xu raised his head, looked at the night sky in the north, and said with some regret: "I shouldn't have provoked the King of Nanchang at the beginning. I just wanted to send a few people to the Hangzhou Navy through the King of Nanchang to investigate the movement of the Navy. It turns out that the spies in the navy were put in by the King of Nanchang, and he could take the opportunity to trick him, but I didn't expect that he would notice it at the beginning."

"The main altar was destroyed, and the king of Nanchang was the culprit. It's a pity that he let him run away this time, otherwise his head must be sacrificed to the flag." Wen Zhong gritted his teeth.

Li Xuan, who is far away at sea, has no idea that he himself has reached the point where others are constantly gnashing his teeth.

……

"It's okay, I ran away this time, just kill once and then kill when you meet it." Wen Xu raised his head, looked towards the south gate, looked up at the thin crescent moon, and said softly: "Okay, it's almost time. "

As soon as Wen Xu's voice fell, at this moment, two of the six torches that had been on above the south city gate suddenly went out instantly.

In an instant, everyone in the entire courtyard clenched the long knives in their hands.

Wen Xu didn't look back, but said lightly: "Come on!"

Under the order, the gate in front of the courtyard was quickly opened. The next moment, hundreds of black-clothed soldiers rushed out without the slightest hesitation, gritted their teeth and rushed towards the south gate.

Just as a group of people rushed under the South City Gate, the South City Gate was all opened in an instant.

The beautiful and rich Hangzhou City is completely opened up in their eyes.

"The people on the city gate have been stunned, and they won't wake up for two or three hours." An inner response dressed like a soldier flashed out of the shadow under the city gate.

Wen Xu nodded, turned his head to look at Wen Zhong, and said quickly: "After entering the South City, in addition to sending a small number of people to set fire to the designated, target, other people will immediately attack the watchtower. Wen Xiao reunited, traveled east together and took down the Dongshui City Gate, welcomed Wen Yi and Zhoushan people into the city, and then..."

"Go west immediately, leave the city from Xishui City, and escape into the city across the West Lake." Wen Zhong said Wen Xu's earlier arrangement without the slightest hesitation.

Wen Xu nodded, and said: "There are not many soldiers in Hangzhou, so it's not worth being afraid of. The key is Yuezhou. The earlier scare the snake, I'm afraid Yuan Jiazuo will be on guard. If we are targeted by Kuaiji government soldiers, we will escape if we want to escape." It's not easy."

"Yes!" Wen Zhong nodded.

The last time the Tianyin Sect had an incident, it was not that they were unprepared to take action, but the Kuaiji government soldiers would not have given them a chance to do so, even if they hadn't escaped quickly, and there was Wen Xu, the Xiaoshan county lieutenant. Help, I'm afraid they are all dead long ago.

"Time is not with me!" Wen Xu sighed with emotion, then his eyes turned cold, and he shouted in a low voice: "Kill!"

The next moment, hundreds of black-clothed soldiers rushed into the city of Hangzhou, a few of them killed the wealthy households nearby, and more of them headed for the watchtower at the end of the street.

Wen Xu didn't advance with him, but fell to the end, a group of personal soldiers followed behind him silently.

Looking at the many subordinates who went away, Wen Xu felt more and more uneasy.

He knew that his worries were definitely not mediocre. Since the last time he made a fuss, neither he nor Guan Mi nor even Xue Zhongzhang were allowed to have access to the real secrets of the Hangzhou Mansion.

As for what this secret is, Wen Xu, Guan Mi and Xue Zhongzhang don't even know it at all.

As for the reasons for this, Wen Xu thinks there should be many reasons. The appearance of himself and Guan Mi was too strange that day, and even Guan Mi doubted Wen Xu. , It's really hard to say what the consequences will be.

In addition, they were too close to Xue Zhongzhang, which made Li Xuan wary.

Fortunately, Nanchang Wang has now left Hangzhou.

"Let's go, we have our own goals to achieve." Wen Xu glanced behind him, and the guards behind immediately followed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a group of people had already quickly chased after the black pawn in front of them.

At the same time, Wen Xu looked around very vigilantly, as if looking for any trace of a suspected trap.

If anything goes wrong, he will leave immediately.

Wen Xu is very careful. The group of people under him is the foundation for him to gain a foothold under the King of the East China Sea.

Once these people were severely injured, he would have no effect in the eyes of the East China Sea King.

It is precisely because of this that Wen Xu made a plan to withdraw from the west gate as soon as he took down the Hangzhou gate.

Leave the entire bustling Hangzhou city and all subsequent hidden dangers to the Zhoushan pirates.

Of course, these people did not enter Hangzhou just to make trouble.

……

In front of the southeast watchtower, the two black pawn teams quickly converged and rushed towards the watchtower like a black tide.

At this moment, extremely precise long arrows were shot from the dark watchtower, and the black pawn holding the torch fell to the ground in an instant.

Wen Zhong and Wen Xiao were directing their subordinates to rush towards the watchtower frantically, but for a while, they couldn't take down the watchtower completely.

Wen Xu stopped for a while, looked up to the east, and there was a commotion at the East Water Gate in the distance.

Obviously, some people want Chaowanglou's support, but some people don't, worrying that this is a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

The corner of Wen Xu's mouth curled up with a hint of complacency. The entire city of Hangzhou hadn't fully awakened in the middle of the night, but the fires in the west city and south city had made many vigilant people dare not act rashly.

The Governor's Mansion in Hangzhou, a few miles north of the watchtower, was even more silent.

Officials in Hangzhou have long been accustomed to Yuan Jiazuo's way of stepping down when the time comes, and there is no one in the state government now.

Everything is under control,

Wen Xu glanced at the southeast watchtower, who was resisting, with a sneer in his mouth. The next moment, he passed quickly by the crowd, and then silently sank into the darkness of the street to the north.

Countless arrows shot out from the watchtower crazily, as if there were countless archers in the watchtower.

Gradually, Wen Zhong and Wen Xiao sensed something was wrong.

At the beginning, they thought it was the crossbow stored in the watchtower, but now that the crossbow has shot a round, more long arrows were shot out without weakening.

Not good, Hangzhou City is ready.

Wen Zhong and Wen Xiao looked at each other with embarrassing expressions on their faces, because they didn't know whether this kind of preparation was just in the watchtower, or in the entire Hangzhou city; or if everything was a trap right now.

But now they don't have many choices. The two of them looked east at the same time, and the East Water City Gate was still quiet.

I don't know what the two of them were muttering to each other. The next moment, the two of them led a group of people to climb to the top of the buildings on both sides. Through the darkness, they quietly lurked towards the watchtower.

Even in order to cover the two of them, even the manpower to attack the watchtower below is much less, the key is that there are a lot less torches.

Torches are even targets in this case.

With a sound of "whoosh", a long arrow shot past, and the last torch was extinguished immediately, and the whole street was plunged into strange darkness in an instant.

But at the next moment, countless loud sounds of fighting came from the southeast water gate.

In an instant, the fire illuminated half of the sky in the distance.

The Zhoushan pirates finally came to kill them.

At this moment, two black tides rushed towards the watchtower at the same time on the southwest side of the watchtower. No one lit the torch, and they all killed in the dark. In an instant, countless long arrows were shot from the watchtower, but the lethality was not enough. .

At the same time, more than a dozen black pawns rushed down from the roofs on both sides abruptly, and rushed to the front of the watchtower in just three or two steps. The next moment, they could directly open the watchtower and rush in.

At this moment, the flames lit up.

Endless flames suddenly lit up from above the watchtower, and with a "bang", the gate of the watchtower opened instantly, and immediately after, countless long arrows aimed directly at the dozen or so black pawns in front of the watchtower.

For a moment, everyone was shocked.

Including Wen Zhong and Wen Xiao, because in front of them, there were indeed a dozen archers.

This is only the first floor, and the second, third and fourth floors of the watchtower are all filled with archers.

As the flames ignited layer by layer, dozens of archers with bows and arrows appeared in front of the eyes of all the black pawns.

The long arrow was also illuminated in an instant, and every black soldier felt that he was nailed to death by the long arrow in an instant.

Under the crisis of life and death, they were even more disappointed that they had fallen into the trap of others.

"Bang bang bang..." There was a sound, and the doors of more than a dozen shops on the streets on both sides suddenly opened. The next moment, in the bright light of the fire, a Kuaiji government soldier named Pingju Changqiang appeared in front of everyone, with a sharp lance The blade makes people feel cold.

A Zhechong school lieutenant appeared in the eyes of everyone, and this person was the former Wuzhou soldier Cao Canjun Yantao.

Looking at the hundreds of black pawns in front of him, Yan Tao waved without hesitation: "Kill!"

Countless arrows fell into the black soldiers in an instant, causing endless killing and bloodshed in an instant.

The bows, arrows and crossbows were shot one by one, followed closely by the sound of firm footsteps, a Kuaiji mansion soldier raised his long spear and killed directly.

Yan Tao didn't look too much, and turned to look at the East Water Gate.

If nothing else happens, after this time, the hidden dangers in Jiangnan will be completely wiped out.
