044 Night Attack

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the clouds covered the top, which was the legendary murderous night.

Emperor Taichang of the Ming Dynasty was blocked in Suzhou City because of his carelessness. The prefect Sun Zhixie and the commander of Suzhou Guard Chen Yirui were preparing to lead the Tun Guard to siege him. A bloody storm was about to come.

Who killed whom that night?

With a "swoosh", Ge Chengru blew in from outside like a gust of wind. He bowed to everyone's surprise eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have counted it carefully. The garrisons gathered outside the prefect's office should be at a rate of 500. Moreover, they did not set up camps or rest. It seems that they are preparing to attack at night."

Night attack?

Wubai Tun Guard wants to kill me. You are the masters of the Jinyiwei!

It seems that there is no need to avoid its sharpness, and there should be no problem in defending the mysterious view.

Originally, Taichang had already thought that if the other party gathered more than 500 guards, he would let Ge Cheng lead the way and sneak in Suzhou City for a night to avoid his sharp edge.

Because they still have to run away, if there will be heavy casualties in the battle, it is very likely that they will not even be able to get out of the city gate.

Since you can keep the mysterious view, you can consider the issue of money.

They must not be able to take the money away when they run away. If they just put it here, they would be a waste of money from Sun Zhixie and Chen Yirui.

How should I deal with this money?

Alas, this damn money!

Taichang frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Old Ge, are the weaver and machine owners here really reliable?"

Ge Cheng nodded immediately and said, "The folk customs here are simple, and the rogues have almost all been recruited by Sun Long, and the rest are basically honest people."

That's good.

Taichang said decisively: "After we repel the five hundred treasury guards, you will gather thousands of reliable weavers and machine owners to come over and let them move all the money back and hide them. At that time, each household will be rewarded with 100 taels as their capital to start a business."

Uh, this one.

Ge Cheng said a little embarrassedly: "Emperor, there is another thing I dare not tell you. The prefect Sun Zhixie has ordered people to post notices in the city, saying that Xuanmiao Temple has been occupied by the rebels and no one is allowed to get close to him."

Those who are on the horse, these thieves actually say that I am a thief, so brave!

Taichang snorted coldly: "You just tell those weaver and metropolitan people that Sun Long, Sun Zhixie, Chen Yirui and others are traitors. I was sent by the court to investigate these people. I believe that those weaver and metropolitan people naturally have a scale in their hearts."

This is, on the one hand, they are trying hard to plunder their money and let them lose everything, while on the other hand, they are giving them money to start their own business. It is natural to see who is better and who is worse.

Ge Cheng hurriedly bowed and said, "The emperor is wise."

Taichang waved his hand and signaled him to sit down. Then he thought about it carefully before ordering: "Luo Yangxing, divide the Jinyiwei into ten teams, each team of five people, hiding around this temple and the Tibetan silver dot, preparing to attack at night."

Luo Yangxing quickly stood up and bowed, "Abide by the order."

After saying that, he walked out quickly.

Taichang said to the others again: "You go and have a rest first, and wait until the thieves come, and then come to the lobby to gather."

The scale of this monastery is quite large, and it is not a problem to live in a dozen people. Except for Cao Huachun, Liu Shiyou, Luo Yangxing and the Jinyiwei, the remaining ones are less than ten, so it is naturally no problem to live here.

Taichang and others dispersed, and then they took Cao Huachun and Liu Shiyou to the door of Wu Wan'er's bedroom.

At this moment, Wu Wan'er was like a frightened little rabbit, huddled on the bed, staring with her big eyes, and glanced around. As soon as Taichang walked in, she immediately rushed forward and said in panic: "Master, is anyone really going to rebel?"

Who is it?

Is there so many words, I wonder if women are timid?

Taichang cursed in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be nothing, pressed Wu Wan'er back to the bed, and then smiled and said, "It's just a bunch of mobs. It's okay, you go to bed quickly. We'll have to hurry up tomorrow morning."

Really?

Chen Yirui heard this and probably it was time for the qi to squirt blood.

These five hundred Tun Guards are the elites he carefully selected. In his opinion, ordinary Jinyiwei may not be the opponents of these Tun Guards. No matter how powerful the Jinyiwei elites brought by the emperor were, it would be good if one could defeat them two or three. Therefore, he believed that taking these five hundred Tun Guards was enough to complete the feat of regicide!

As soon as the hour of Xu arrived, he, under the constant urging of Sun Zhixie, brought his subordinates to the outside of Xuanmiao Temple.

What he unexpectedly expected was that there was no movement or stillness in the Xuanmiao Temple, and even a lamp was not lit. The entire Xuanmiao Temple was pitch black, just like a target.

Did the emperor run away with his men?

It's impossible!

The gates of Suzhou City are closed, and there are 200 people guarding each gate. As long as the emperor brings people to the city gate, he will definitely be entangled. There is no movement in the city gates at this moment. Where can they run to this place if they are not familiar with each other?

Of course Taichang didn't run away. At this moment, he was standing on the steps at the gate of the monastery, holding a telescope and looking at Sun Zhixie, Chen Yirui and others.

This monastery happened to be built on a hillside and could be condescending, which is also the main reason why he chose to rest here.

In the dark night, the torches in the distance were so eye-catching that he could see clearly.

These guys actually brought Wubai Tunwei to conduct a night attack!

Hehe, let's see who attacks whom.

Chen Yirui didn't know that every move he had fallen into the emperor's eyes, he was having a headache.

How can the emperor kill him if he doesn’t meet him?

He had already thought about it. Once Zhang Zhiji or even the emperor came forward to reveal his identity, he yelled, and these rebels dared to pretend to be the prince or the emperor and kill him!

Now, he didn't even see the Jinyiwei, who should he kill?

Could it be that you should carefully search around this mysterious view?

The problem is that this mysterious view is not ordinary. Five hundred people may not be able to surround him when they scatter, not to mention that he doesn't know if the emperor is still inside.

Alas, it's a problem now. He really didn't expect that the emperor or Zhang Zhiji would not show up at all and tell him to get out of here.

Seeing that Chen Yirui was not moving, Sun Zhixie immediately said anxiously: "General Chen, please order someone to rush in. They must know that we are here. If you don't let someone rush in, they may run away."

You know you're anxious, idiot!

Chen Yirui cursed in his heart, and then ordered helplessly: "Crash the door."

"yes!"

More than ten Tun Guards responded in unison, and carried a squat that was thicker than their waists and rushed to the gate of Xuanmiaoguan, and suddenly ran into it.

With a "clang", the door of Xuanmiaoguan suddenly opened.

So easy?

Seeing this, Chen Yirui frowned.

If you don’t care about the door, the emperor won’t really run away, right?

He thought for a while and then ordered: "Run in, group of ten people, scattered, search carefully, and kill them whenever they see a thief."

"yes!"

Hundreds of people roared together, turned into a fire dragon, rushed into the mysterious temple, and then scattered into a bunch of small loach-like teams, swimming around the palace.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but feel relieved.

If these people are combined into one place and search one by one, they will not be able to achieve the effect of sneak attack. If they are scattered like this, they will rush in and die!

Soon, several teams holding torches searched the periphery of the monastery.

"ah!"

In the darkness, a scream rang out, and soon the sound of fighting and screams rang out.

"The thief is here, come quickly!"

The teams everywhere began to gather here, and the Jinyiwei in the dark was also quietly approaching, and a melee began.

Taichang raised his telescope and looked for a while, his brows frowned again.

These guards are not ordinary!

The one-sided massacre he imagined did not appear. Although the Jinyiwei took the lead in secret, once it emerged and killed one or two people, it would be entangled. It would be quite hard to kill another one.

This won’t work. If the Jinyiwei suffers too much, it will be difficult to run away next.

He put down his telescope and said to Ge Cheng beside him: "Old Ge, why don't you go up and help me, the Jinyiwei will fight all the money, and it will be difficult for us to get out of the city if we want to take the door and leave the city."

Upon hearing this, Ge Cheng bowed without hesitation and said, "Abide by the order."
