The Golden Age Chapter 721: Break the door

Wei Tairan stood up, frowned and said: "What's wrong, why are you so flustered?"

"The South Gate.....The South Gate was breached." Liang Jiangyuan looked terrified, and gestured: "I've come in, all...I've all come in."

Qian Guanghan and Wei Tairan both changed colors.

"Nonsense." Wei Tairan couldn't help but said: "The South Gate was breached? What are you talking about, how could Suzhou City be breached."

"It's not...!" Liang Jiangyuan gasped, apparently coming to report in a hurry: "It's not a breach, the city gate.....The city gate was tricked.....It was tricked to open! "

Qian Guanghan's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Suzhou city gate, without the permission of the old man, you must never open the city gate. How can Song Jiande dare to defy?"

"Someone pretended to be the second son...!" Liang Jiangyuan made the situation clear: "With hundreds of cavalry at the city gate, saying that there is an emergency military situation...!"

Qian Guanghan and Wei Tairan looked at each other, and both felt a little weird. Wei Tairan asked urgently: "Someone pretends to be the second son? Who dares to fake it?"

"I don't know." Liang Jiangyuan said: "But they are all wearing armor. It is the armor of the Suzhou camp cavalry. The gatekeeper saw the cavalry and the second son in the team. He didn't dare to stop him and opened the city gate. .....!"

"Wait a minute." Qian Guanghan stopped and said, "Wearing the armor of the Suzhou Battalion Cavalry? Did you make a mistake?"

The Suzhou battalion cavalry is well-equipped, which is well known.

They not only have the sharpest saber, but they also have the best armor.

In fact, the value of a set of armor is much higher than that of a war horse. The craftsmanship of making armor is very complicated, and the requirements for the material of armor are also very strict. The entire Datang Empire can truly achieve full-body armor. Only the dragon scale guard in the palace.

Although the Shence Army is also very well equipped, except for the generals, only some soldiers have armor, and most of the soldiers are simple leather protective gear.

In the Eighteen States of the Tang Dynasty, there are only a handful of cavalry equipped with exquisite armor like the Jiangnan Sanzhou.

A set of armor is expensive and requires frequent maintenance. The cost of maintaining a set of armor is much higher than feeding a horse, so not to mention civilians, even in many local state forces, refined armor is also Very limited.

The Jiangnan three states belong to the sphere of influence of Musk Moon. Musk Moon will naturally take more care of the local state forces in the Jiangnan three states, and the Jiangnan family has carefully figured out the princess's mind and donated a large amount of gold and silver, Musk Moon. They also used the North Campus to spend this money on the soldiers and horses of the local three states. Therefore, compared with other states, the treatment of soldiers and horses in the Jiangnan three states has always been very good, and the equipment is far from comparable to other states.

Suzhou Battalion has three thousand soldiers and horses and eight hundred cavalry, all equipped with refined armor.

Except for the Suzhou Camp, on the ground in Suzhou, Qian Guanghan certainly knew that it was impossible for anyone else to have such armor.

The imperial court has long issued a sword hunting order, and people are not allowed to privately hide weapons and armors, otherwise they will be punished as a crime of treason. Even if someone is bold enough to hide weapons privately, it is difficult to obtain expensive armors. difficult.

To pretend to be a Suzhou battalion cavalry, not only a large number of war horses, but also a large number of armors are needed. Qian Guanghan does not believe that there are people in Suzhou who can do it.

Although the Taihu Army has always been a confidant, Qian Guanghan does not believe that the Taihu Army has this at all.

Strength.

Although the King of Taihu controlled the islands of Taihu Lake and owned many craftsmen, the whole Jiangnan was under the control of the family. For so many years, the family of Jiangnan has been in a state of blockade against Taihu pirates. Many materials Can't enter Taihu Lake.

The material used to make armor is strictly prohibited from circulation among the people. The family in the south of the Yangtze River blocked the Taihu Lake. Naturally, it is impossible for the Taihu Army to obtain materials to make refined armor. Even horses, Taihu Lake is very rare, so Qian Guanghan naturally ruled out the Taihu Army’s counterfeit cavalry. .

What's more, the main force of the Taihu Army has been led by Linghuxuan to Shuning County to reinforce Musk Moon, how could it appear outside Suzhou City?

"The lower officer saw with his own eyes that the cavalry who rushed into the city were all in armor." Liang Jiangyuan said: "After the city gate was opened, they rushed in like a tide, and saw the guards lift their swords and chop them. The South Gate was quickly controlled, and then......!"

"What happened next?" Wei Tairan's face was also extremely ugly.

"After that, a large number of Taihu pirates rushed into the city from outside the city." Liang Jiangyuan was in shock: "They are overwhelmed, densely packed, and I don't know how many people there are...!"

Qian Guanghan was shocked, stood up and lost his voice: "Taihu Pirates? How could it be possible? Linghuxuan went to Shuning County, why did he...why would they appear in Suzhou City?"

Wei Tairan was also horrified: "Do you really see clearly, is it a Taihu Pirate?"

"That's right." Liang Jiangyuan said: "Many of them are still dressed as fishermen. At first glance, they are Taihu Pirates."

"No, where did the Taihu Pirates come from?" Qian Guanghan couldn't believe it: "Where did the hundreds of cavalry come from?"

As soon as the words fell, Qian Guanghan sat down and his pupils contracted.

"The imperial court’s reinforcements could not have arrived in Suzhou so soon." Wei Tairan heard the faint killing sound from outside, and was a little flustered for a while: "Old lady, let's go quickly, Taihu Pirates will enter the city, surely Will directly kill the Assassin's Mansion, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time...!"

Since the Taihu Army has entered the city, there are two places they cannot possibly miss. One is Qian Mansion and the other is of course Cishi Mansion.

"How could this be?" Qian Guanghan only felt that this reality was a bit weird, and muttered: "How could it become like this?"

The cavalry that appeared suddenly was far away from the Taihu Army in Shuning County...!

"Old lady, the voice is getting closer and closer, so I can't keep it anymore." Wei Tairan came up, helped Qian Guanghan, and shouted: "Come on, come on...!"

Several guards rushed in immediately, Wei Tairan ordered: "Hurry up and **** the old man out of here."

"Where to go?" Qian Guanghan finally came back to his senses: "The mansion will definitely be smashed into by Taihu Lake...!" In my heart, he thought, although he has been in the Cishi Mansion these days , But the family members are all in the Qian Mansion. Once the Taihu Pirates surround the Qian Mansion, the Qian clan will be destroyed.

The Jiangnan family regarded the Taihu Pirates as a thorn in the eye, but the Taihu Pirates did not regard the Jiangnan family as a thorn in the flesh.

At this moment, someone rushed to the door and shouted: "Old lady, the robbers rushed into the city, and they will soon be at the Assassin's Mansion. Old lady hurry up...!"

"Where did Song Jiande go?" After the Suzhou camp was transferred, the defense of Suzhou City

Song Jiande is in charge of the work. Now the Taihu Army can easily enter the city from the south gate. Qian Guanghan was shocked and furious: "Where are the soldiers and horses under his hands?"

Even if the Taihu Army rushed into the city, Song Jiande still had thousands of troops in his hands. Even if he faced off head-on, he would not necessarily lose to the Taihu Army.

"Old lady, let's find a place to hide from the edge of the Taihu Army." Wei Tairan was not surprised: "I will send someone back to contact Song Jiande. He knows that the Taihu robbers will enter the city. He will definitely organize soldiers and horses to fight Taihu Lake. The army will fight to the death."

Qian Guanghan thought that Song Jiande still had soldiers and horses in his hands. The Taihu Army might not be able to control the city of Suzhou. At the moment, the soldiers are in chaos, and finding a place to hide temporarily is indeed the best policy.

A group of people guarded Qian Guanghan and left from the back door of the Cishi Mansion. They knew the roads in the city well and knew their positions. They knew that the Taihu Army was still on the southern side of the city, and they fled to the north of the city in a hurry.

Running out a few blocks, the voice was farther away, Liang Jiangyuan finally said: "Old lady, do we want to go to the north gate? There are guards on the north gate. If you go out of the city now, you can go to Yangzhou to ensure the old lady's thoroughness. ."

"Go to Yangzhou?" Qian Guanghan glanced at Liang Jiangyuan, thinking that you could really think of it.

At present, the outcome of the two sides is unpredictable. It is not yet known who will die. If Song Jiande organizes a **** battle between the troops and the Taihu Army in time, it may not be impossible to drive the Taihu Army out of the city.

The Qian family is the largest family in Suzhou. The results of the hard work of several generations are all in Suzhou. If you leave everything behind and go to Yangzhou to avoid disasters, then the efforts of several generations will be completely destroyed, even if you die Here, Qian Guanghan would never have left everything in order to escape.

"Go to Linghui Temple!" Qian Guanghan thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The old man is the biggest pilgrim of Linghui Temple. There are not a few incense donations to Linghui Temple over the years. Linghui Temple presides over Fa Ming The monk is a loyal man, and he has a good relationship with the old man. We went to Linghui Temple and we can take a break for a while."

Wei Tairan's eyes lit up and said: "Yes, Linghui Temple is the land of Buddhism. Even if the Taihu pirates are lawless, they won't be able to enter Linghui Temple."

Linghui Temple is located in the northwest corner of Suzhou City. Since the current saints ascended the throne, they have worshipped the Taoist gate, and the Taoist gate has been vigorously admired in the local area. The Buddhist gate is gradually declining, and the temple's incense is no longer prosperous.

Several temples in Suzhou city used to be incense flourishing, but with few pilgrims, now there are only two temples left, and Linghui Temple is one of them.

The survival of Linghui Temple is related to the donation of incense by the Qian family every year.

A dozen security guards escorted Qian Guanghan and others to Linghui Temple. For safety's sake, they did not enter through the gate but went around to the back door. Liang Jiangyuan personally knocked on the door and asked the young monk who opened the door a few words, Xiao The monk immediately went to report. Not long after, the presiding monk Faming hurried over, welcomed the people into the temple, and asked the monks around him not to spread the word, and then personally brought Qian Guanghan and others into a monastery.

"I'm troubled Master." Qian Guanghan sighed and said: "The thief enters the city and can only temporarily take refuge at the master's place to disturb your temple. Please forgive me!"

"Amitabha Buddha." Monk Faming said together: "The benefactor of the money is a benefactor of the monastery. Please rest here at ease. Lao Na will send someone to inquire about the situation in the city. If there is any situation, he will personally come to see him. Report."

Qian Guanghan thought that he was really blessed to donate to Linghui Temple, but when he thought that the young and old of the clan were all in Qian's house, his expression was solemn.
