  Chapter 1521 Please open the city gate

  It is dark before dawn, the darkness is frightening, and the fear is crushing.

Everyone in Yingtian City deeply felt this, the darkness before dawn was not ordinary darkness, and they couldn't see their fingers clearly, let alone the soldiers and horses a hundred meters away from the city, they couldn't see what banner they were fighting at all. Can't distinguish between friend and foe. Since the city had just been besieged by Japanese pirates during the day, Ying Tian was like a frightened bird, seeing the army of unknown enemies and friends coming straight to the city gate, how could he not be frightened.

   "I'm afraid it wasn't that the Japanese pirates found reinforcements and turned around to attack us again, right?!"

"What? You said the soldiers and horses outside the city were Japanese pirates' reinforcements?! In the afternoon, there were only fifty Japanese pirates, and they almost knocked down the city gate. The reinforcements might not be more than 800. My mother, this What can I do?" "

  People in the city have different opinions, and the more they talk, the more afraid they become.

Seeing the soldiers and horses under the city getting closer and closer, the calves of the general on the top of the city were trembling nervously. While pressing the helmet with his hand, he said sternly, "Who is coming? Stop quickly, and shoot the arrow if you don't stop." gone."

  I don't know when, Shi Pengfei, the servant of the Ministry of War, has already retreated three steps without a trace, retreating timidly and wretchedly behind the general and others, using their bodies as human shields.

  He had every reason to suspect that the army under the city was the Japanese pirates who gathered reinforcements and went back.

Hu Zongxian led more than a thousand elite veterans of the Beijing camp, all of whom were killed by Japanese pirates. The Zhejiang army only has 800 people, and it is still a militia that has only been established for less than two months. How can they beat the Japanese pirates away?! What a joke! Then The Japanese pirates did it on purpose, deliberately showing me weak, in order to suddenly kill me at this time!

  Also, the emergency pigeon report from Moling Pass just now further confirmed his guess.

  The reason why Officer Luo Tui and Commander Xu of Yingtianfu abandoned the pass and fled with a thousand elite soldiers was because they found out that the Japanese pirates had gathered seven or eight hundred reinforcements, knowing that they were no match for the Japanese pirates, they had to abandon the pass and flee.

  In summary, Shi Pengfei concluded that the soldiers and horses outside the city must be the Japanese pirates who gathered reinforcements and killed the carbine.

  When the White Swan Japanese pirates attacked the city, the ferociousness of more than 50 Japanese pirates had already made his heart tremble. Now that the Japanese pirates have grown 20 times, and their strength has reached more than 800, how can he have the courage to face the Japanese pirates?

  Dead fellow Taoist, don't die poor Taoist.

  So, he shrank obscenely behind the general and others.

Seeing the soldiers and horses outside the city getting closer and closer, he felt that this position was still not safe. If the Japanese pirates were too powerful, the feathered arrow might go through twice, so he took another step back, one step, another step, when he When taking the fourth step back, he stepped on a foot, Shi Pengfei turned his head and was about to scold someone who has no eyes, when he opened his mouth, he saw Zhang Jing's expressionless face.

  It turned out that Zhang Jing heard the noise and panic outside getting louder, and realized that the situation outside was serious. To prevent accidents, he, Eunuch He, Duke Wei and other officials also rushed to sit in town.

   "Ahem, Master Shangshu, I am going to report to you that there are soldiers and horses from unknown enemies and friends approaching the gate of the city."

  Shi Pengfei coughed in embarrassment, found an excuse, and explained to Zhang Jing cheekily.

  Zhang Jing glanced at him, and Shi Pengfei's forehead was in cold sweat. He knew that Zhang Jing had seen through it, so he lowered his head involuntarily.

   "Unknown soldiers and horses? How many soldiers and horses?"

   Zhang Jing's voice came from above his head, which made Shi Pengfei heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang did not reveal it on the spot.

   "There are more than 800 of them. The officials can almost conclude that the ten thousand under the city are reinforcements assembled by Japanese pirates."

  Shi Pengfei replied eloquently.

   "What?! The Japanese pirates gathered more than 800 reinforcements?!" Eunuch He turned pale with fright when he heard Ji, and panicked.

Wei Guogong's calf was cramped, and he was unwilling to accept the news, and said repeatedly: "800 reinforcements from Japanese pirates?! Didn't Officer Luo Tui and Commander Xu of Moling Pass abandon the pass?! Isn't the Japanese pirates supposed to go to Linling Pass? Did you go?! Why did you turn around and kill Tiancheng again?!"

  Hearing that the Japanese pirates gathered 800 reinforcements, all the officials were panicked.

"The Japanese pirates have gathered reinforcements?! What about the Zhe army led by my nephew?! Isn't the Zhe army camping under the city? This army appeared under the city, why didn't there be any movement from my nephew's Zhe army? Didn't my nephew meet? Is it in danger?!"

   While panicking, Marquis Linhuai suddenly thought that the Zhe army led by Zhu Pingan was still under the city, and he couldn't help but be alarmed.

   "Zhejiang Army? Heh, I guess I got the news early and ran away early. The tents were empty as early as midnight."

  Shi Pengfei curled his lips in disdain, and spared no effort to belittle Zhu Ping'an and Zhe Jun, intending to win respect for himself through comparison.

  Although I took a few steps back, Zhu Ping'an had already led the Zhejiang army and ran away without a trace.

   "My nephew led the Zhe army away?" Marquis Linhuai couldn't help being startled, "Is what Master Shi said true?"

"Of course, I can still slander him. In the middle of the night, two tents of the Zhejiang army were blown down by the wind. Not only was there no one in the tent, there was no movement, and for so long, no other Zhejiang army had set up their tents again. It can be seen that the Zhe army had already disappeared in the middle of the night. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the defenders at the top of the city, they told me about the collapse of the camp.”

  Shi Pengfei sneered and said with a slander, casually pointed to the soldiers and civilians on the top of the city, and vowed.

   "The camp of the Zhejiang army was empty in the middle of the night?" Zhang Jing couldn't help being startled when he heard this, obviously surprised.

   "Zhu Ping'an left early." Shi Pengfei nodded vigorously, and then greeted him attentively.

  Zhang Jing, He Gonggong and others said, "Master Shangshu, He Gonggong, Guo Gongye, the Japanese pirates have made a comeback, the sword has no eyes, you belong to the people of the whole city of Yingtian, just in case, you should stay away."

Eunuch He was a little moved, but Zhang Jing really ignored it. He glanced at Shi Pengfei lightly, and said expressionlessly, "Because I belong to the people of Yingtian, I can't hide behind. I want to see the Japanese pirates." If you have grown a few heads, if you dare to offend Yingtian again, you will be able to deceive Yingtian!"

  After speaking, Zhang Jing took the lead to go to the city wall. Eunuch He sighed helplessly and had to follow.

  Both Zhang Jing and He Gonggong went, Wei Guogong, Linhuaihou and other officials had no choice but to follow.

  Yu Dayou also led the elite soldiers. When he saw Zhang Jing and others approaching the battlements in person, he asked them to protect them with shields.

  At this time, the general at the top of the city shouted again, "Who is under the city? Hurry up and stop, and shoot arrows if you move forward!"

  Zhang Jing and others all stared at the city.

  This time there is a response from the city.

   "This general, we are the Zhejiang army. I am Zhu Pingan, the inspector of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Please open the gate of the city. I have important military information. Please see Zhang Shangshu, He Gonggong and Wei Guogong."

  Zhu Ping'an stood still outside a stone's throw away, raised his head and replied loudly.

   "Zhejiang Army! It turned out to be the Zhejiang Army. We were taken aback. We thought it was Japanese pirates." "
