Chapter 350 People who will be suspicious! [1 more]
Then, a sudden shout came from the city tower, and then an arrow shot towards Wang Wu. Wang Wu, who was standing under the city, was frightened. He almost instinctively waved the big knife in his hand to block the horse and clamped it off, instantly rushed out of the range that the arrow could reach.
Wang Wu escaped from the range where the arrow reached, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at the city wall behind him with a look of fear.
If he had a little slower reaction, the arrow just now might have shot him under the city wall.
The night was hazy, and Wang Wu quickly headed straight for Wang Yangming and his army who were coming from afar.
Wang Shouren returned victoriously, and the most important thing was to defeat Zhou Boling's rebels. Although some of the rebels escaped, in Wang Shouren's opinion, even if King Ning had any reaction and sent the rebels to deal with them again, it would be at least a few days later.
With a few days, they can do a lot of things, at least they can strengthen their own strength and delay for a few more days, so the reinforcements from the court will be one step closer.
Before his thoughts flew, he heard a sound of horse hooves coming. Wang Shouren looked up and saw Wang Wuzheng, who was sent to inform Chen Tai and others of the victory, coming quickly.
Seeing Wang Wu, Wang Shouren's expression turned upright, and saw that Wang Wu did not dismount when he got closer. Instead, he bowed to Wang Shouren, and then spoke in parallel with Wang Shouren: "Sir, I can't ask you to open the city gate!"
Wang Yangming couldn't help but raise his brows, a little puzzled look on his face, frowned and said, "What's going on? Can someone say that the city has been broken?"
But this may not seem big. At least according to the information they have, the rebels near Ji'an County are only Zhou Boling's troops, and Zhou Boling cannot divide his troops and send people to attack the city.
Besides, there are still thousands of soldiers in the city, even if most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, as long as Chen Tai can stabilize the situation, even if he faces tens of thousands of troops to attack the city, he can hold on for at least one day or two, and he won't be able to hold on for even one afternoon.
Wang Wuyi smiled bitterly and said, "I originally rushed to the city gate, but after saying a few words, I was shot back by the commander on the city tower."
After hearing Wang Wu tell the story in detail, Wang Shouren quickly understood what was going on. After all, he was negligent and didn't think about it. When they went out, there were only two thousand people, but the rebels they had to face were as many as tens of thousands.
In this case, I'm afraid not many people, including Chen Tai, would be optimistic about him, and they might even think that he was killed by the rebels.
At this moment, they were in a huge crowd, with a population of thousands, which was more than twice as many as the two thousand people leaving the city. What would Chen Tai and others who were guarding the city think? If it were him, the first thing they thought was that the imperial army was defeated.
As for Wang Wu, there are quite a few people who know Wang Wu on the city wall, but it is precisely because of this that everyone can't believe Wang Wu's words even more.
If Wang Wu was captured by the rebels and surrendered to the rebels, and now he helped the rebels open the city gate, it would not be surprising if he stood in the position of the general guarding the city and thought about it for a little while and ordered Wang Wu to be shot and killed.
Not to mention those soldiers who defended the city, even if he had come to defend the city, he would probably have taken the same measures in the face of this situation.
Wang Wuyi said with a grievance: "Sir, you don't know. If I hadn't reacted so quickly at that time, I might have been shot to death under the city gate now. I didn't die at the hands of the rebels, but at the hands of my own..."
Wang Shouren smiled slightly, patted Wang Wu on the shoulder and said, "It was my official who was negligent and did not consider these things!"
While speaking, Wang Shouren looked at the black city wall ahead, like a ferocious beast entrenched on the earth, and chuckled: "It would be great that Governor Chen and others can be so vigilant. You should think about it, if we were rebels, you would go to surrender. If they easily opened the city gate, the city would have been occupied at this moment."
After appeased Wang Wu for a while, Wang Wu was not so frustrated. He looked at the city wall in the distance and said, "But sir, if they don't open the city gate, how will we enter the city?"
At this moment, the sky had completely dimmed. Wang Shouren looked at Wang Wu and said, "It's okay. When I arrive in front of the city gate, I will go to see Governor Chen and others in person."
The army slowly approached Ji'an County. At this moment, Chen Tai and other officials in the city were all alarmed. Everyone gathered on the city wall and looked at the dense torches below from afar.
At this moment, Chen Tai frowned and said, "Did you check it clearly? How many rebels are there?"
Wang Yuanlong, the commander of the commander, said, "Report to the Lord, my subordinates have just made a brief count. According to the number of the other party's torches, the number of the other party should be about five or six thousand."
Chen Tai said in confusion: "Five or six thousand people? Are these not the main forces of the rebels?"
The county magistrate Mao Yuan, who was standing next to him, said: "It seems wrong. I remember that the rebels had at least tens of thousands of troops, so why did they only have a few thousand troops now?"
An official muttered softly: "Will Lord Wang fight the rebels severely, and so there are only so many people left in the rebels."
While he was talking, Wang Shouren drove his horse straight towards the city gate. The movement was naturally quite large, and he immediately attracted the attention of the crowd on the city tower.
However, it was difficult to see Wang Shouren clearly in the night. Everyone could only see someone coming towards the city gate with the vague figure.
Seeing this, Wang Yuanlong couldn't help but say to dozens of archers holding bows and arrows around him: "Everyone is ready, I have ordered that people be shot and killed immediately."
"Mr. Chen, Wang returned victoriously, please open the city gate!"
On the city wall, Chen Tai and others couldn't help but look at Wang Shouren's voice, and everyone's faces showed shock.
Because the person below heard the sound was Wang Shouren, but shouldn't Wang Shouren fight with the rebels, die bravely and serve the court with one death?
Could it be that Wang Shouren was defeated and surrendered to the rebels?
An official had such thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen Tai's eyes lit up, lying on the city wall and looking down hard, trying to see Wang Shouren's figure clearly.
It's a pity that it's vague and it's impossible to be sure at all.
Chen Tai took a deep breath and said loudly: "Wang Yangming, did you really defeat the rebels and return to victory?"
Seeing this, Wang Shouren couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he had already expected such a situation, so he didn't bother to talk much. He slapped the horse off his body, then jumped forward, stepped on the city wall, and then he soared into the sky. With just one leaping skill, he floated on the city wall.
The city wall is only a few feet high. Perhaps if you have no support for ordinary people, the distance of several feet high is an insurmountable height, but for Wang Shouren, this height is really nothing.
Suddenly, a figure rushed up from below and appeared in front of him. Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back almost instinctively.
Even the Duwei Wang Yuanlong drew out the long sword at his waist and looked alert.
Then the firelight was light, but everyone saw clearly that the person who was rushing up from below was Wang Yangming.
When Chen Tai saw Wang Shouren, his eyes lit up, and his face showed joy. He stepped forward a few steps and looked at Wang Shouren. Seeing that Wang Shouren was safe and sound, he couldn't help but laugh excitedly.
It's no wonder Chen Tai is so happy. On the one hand, Wang Shouren returns victoriously, which means that the crisis in Ji'an County is temporarily resolved. On the other hand, Wang Yangming has no accidents, so he can also give an explanation to Wang Hua, his old friend.
"Wang Yangming, Wang Yangming, you really make me worry so much!"
Wang Shouren bowed to Chen Tai and smiled slightly, "But he is worried about the governor!"
Officials such as Mao Yuan also showed joy on their faces like Chen Tai.
After a while, everyone calmed down their inner surprise. Mao Yuan could only look at Wang Shouren and said, "Mr. Wang, have you really defeated Zhou Boling's rebels?"
Wang Shouren knew that Mao Yuan and others were also understandable. Who made Zhou Boling's rebels have a large number of power? Ninety-nine percent of the people would not think that two thousand soldiers could defeat tens of thousands of rebels.
With a slight smile, Wang Shouren nodded and said, "It's just that Zhou Boling was too careless this time. He was sought by his official and attacked halfway, but he defeated the rebels."
As he said that, Wang Shouren pointed to the dark soldiers under the city and said, "This time, not only did he capture the rebel general Zhou Boling alive, but he also surrendered thousands of rebels. So please open the city gate and let the soldiers enter the city to rest."
Mao Yuan looked at Chen Tai. Although they believed Wang Shouren's words to a certain extent, Chen Tai was required to send the order to open the city gate.
If Wang Shouren surrendered to the rebels and came to open the city gate intently, then Ji'an County would really fall easily.
Chen Tai stroked his beard and pondered for a while. He glanced at Wang Shouren and saw Wang Shouren looking at him with a serious look on his face.
Nodding slightly, Chen Tai chose to believe in Wang Shouren. He believed in Wang Shouren's character at home, and at the same time he believed that Wang Shouren could not surrender to the rebels, so he raised his hand and waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Open the city gate, please let the victorious army enter the city!"
Soon Chen Tai's order was passed down, and only a creaking sound sounded in the night sky, and the closed city gate finally opened.
Seeing this, Wang Yangming shouted in a deep voice to the soldiers and horses below: "Everyone takes good care of the prisoners and enters the city one by one. If there is any restlessness, kill them without any slightest!"
This is in the dark. If anyone among the rebels suddenly makes a fuss at this time, the consequences will be serious. Maybe it will cause the instinctive counterattack of the soldiers guarding the city.
