Chapter 823: Secret Entry Into Chencang
This charity cemetery was originally owned by the Li clan, including public housing, land, granaries, and academies, etc. It was not a place specifically for coffins. Later, the Li family fell into decline, and the descendants sold the land and moved out of Heishui City, leaving this place vacant.
After several years of wind and rain, the two words "Li" on the plaque fell off, leaving only "Yi Zhuang". He Chunhua saw that it was God's will, so this place became the public charity cemetery of Heishui City, that is, the coffin storage room.
The place where the dead are stored is often the most yin. Some people had suggested that it be moved outside the city, but during He Chunhua's tenure as county governor, Heishui City did not start construction.
Later, when Hu County Governor was replaced, he did not move.
So the charity cemetery is still in the west of the city, less than a hundred steps away from the southwest corner wall.
This kind of place is deserted, and no one usually comes. To be safe, He Lingchuan and others looked around and made sure that there was no one nearby before sneaking in.
This charity cemetery is very large, and it still retains the layout of the glorious period of the Li clan. He Lingchuan led Qiu Hu and others to go through the inconspicuous dark alley behind the old granary.
Because it has not seen the sun for many years, the brick walls here are covered with moss.
Fortunately, he often came here to play when he was a child, otherwise he really didn't know where He Chunhua pointed out.
The seventy people following him included Rongshan disciples such as Qiu Hu, and the elite soldiers brought by He Chunhua.
In this important battle, he still chose to trust his son and assigned all his most elite men to him.
He Lingchuan was very curious, did this father believe in the luck of his eldest son, or in his eldest son's strength?
At the end of the alley was a broken wood room, which looked like it was only six or seven square meters at most, and the doors and windows were nailed shut.
He Lingchuan broke it with his hand, and with a click, he pulled the wooden door open.
There were some woods placed in a mess inside, some of which had green mold, some had mushrooms, and the whole house was full of spider webs. I don't know how long it has been since no one came.
He Da Shao would not do hard work by himself. He pointed into the house:
"Move!"
Six or seven people went in and started to move out the wood.
They were all strong men, and they emptied the wooden house in a dozen breaths, without anyone breathing heavily.
Suddenly, a falcon descended and landed in front of He Lingchuan, speaking in human language:
"No one is over there."
He Lingchuan then entered the wooden house and knocked on the two walls to listen for an echo.
Before he finished knocking, Qiu Hu pointed at two wooden boards and said, "There is a sound of wind coming out from behind, and there is a damp and musty smell."
He Lingchuan looked at him. Where in the whole house is there no musty smell? How can he not tell the difference between musty smell and musty smell?
Since Fu Shanyue, he has never met someone with such a keen sense of smell.
"Why are you being polite? Tear it down!"
With a few more clicks, the wooden boards were removed, and there was indeed a dark hole behind.
The hole was seven feet high and one and a half meters wide, allowing everyone to enter in turn.
"Great." When Qiu Hu saw the hole, he understood why He Chunhua rejected his suggestion to send a team out of the city in advance--
There is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city in Blackwater City!
He can send people out whenever he wants.
In the evening, when He Chunhua taught his eldest son to escape from the city through the secret passage, He Lingchuan also applauded.
This was really unexpected, but reasonable.
Blackwater City had been fought over several times, and it was also the place where He Chunhua made his living in his early years. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. With He Chunhua's temperament, how could he not leave a way out for himself?
Now, this way out has become a surprise attack.
He Chunhua told his eldest son that the other end of the secret passage was in the old riverbed two miles west of the city.
The river had been diverted long ago, and there was no water in the old riverbed, only overgrown weeds.
Now the falcon had also flown out to scout, and the exit of the secret passage was just outside the encirclement of the Anton people, and there was no one around.
He Lingchuan looked up and saw that it was already dark. It was cloudy tonight, with no stars or moon.
"What a great day for killing people." He tilted his head to everyone, "Let's go!"
...
The offensive of the Anton people was during the day and stopped at night.
However, halfway through the night, the drums of war in Blackwater City suddenly thundered, the city gates were wide open, and a team of more than 300 people rushed out.
The Anton people were alarmed and quickly raised their flags to fight.
The two sides walked back and forth several times in the open space in the east of the city, all cautiously.
He Chunhua watched from the top of the wall, and he agreed with what his eldest son said. The strength of the Anton people against the Blackwater City army was really the same.
It was obvious that the main force of the Anton people had not been exhausted, and they were still guarding against Blackwater City.
A quarter of an hour later, the north gate of Blackwater City quietly opened, and 300 troops also rushed out.
The teams attacking from the above two gates had a large number of newly recruited soldiers.
The Anton people had sent troops here earlier, and seeing this, they went forward to meet the attack.
When the battles at the East Gate and the North Gate were in full swing, the South Gate of Blackwater City quietly opened again, and more than 500 people went south to attack from behind, attempting to sneak attack the Hulushan camp of the Andong people.
This included dozens of foreign aids including Zhang Lianhai.
If they wanted to go to the Panlong Desert, they had to go north, and the battlefield in the north had been blocked by troops from both sides. Apart from taking Hulushan, they had no way to bypass it.
Although everyone had cultivation, they had almost no Yuanli blessing in Yuan Country. On a battlefield with four or five thousand people, it was difficult for them to walk around and come and go freely.
He Lingchuan had a sharp eye and saw that their cultivation was not weak, but they were not soldiers and had little experience in the battlefield.
The combat power of the new recruits and veterans on the battlefield was very different.
Originally, everything went smoothly. Everyone quickly strangled the Andong team in front of the South Gate, and the other side only had time to send two command arrows.
Then the South Gate team continued to move eastward, and after running four miles, they encountered the enemy guarding the camp!
The Andong camp was not empty of defense.
Judging from the past methods of Liao Shan, the commander of the Andong people, he was able to kill Hu Junshou and open the Black Water City Gate, and he was also a tactical person.
He certainly knew the importance of the logistics camp, and left his most loyal confidants and elites to defend it before the battle.
Liao Shan knew very well that the number of Black Water City troops was far inferior to his own. If the logistics were not down and the army was not in chaos, the victory would eventually belong to him.
Since the sneak attack has become an encounter, what else can be said?
Go!
The South Gate team and Liao Shan's elite army of about 1,200 people launched a fierce battle!
At this time, it can be seen that although Zhang Lianhai and others did not have much battlefield experience, they were really tough. Zhang Lianhai's attendants could fight five people alone, and the disciples of Jianyangmen were even more swift and swift, harvesting lives quickly.
The most ruthless one was Zhang Lianhai's lamp spirit, which was unpredictable and incorporeal. Apart from being afraid of Yuanli, it was not afraid of swords, guns, sticks or clubs.
Everyone also understood that the bravest of the two would win when they met on a narrow road. It had come to this point, so they could only swallow their anger and fight to the end.
The Nanmen team fought with fewer troops and the battle line actually advanced eastward.
In less than half a cup of tea, more than 140 Anton people were killed or injured.
