The weather in June is sultry and hot. It has been four days since Wan Lei came to Guangning. In these days, he has sent out a small number of cavalry to harass the Tatars in Daning, making the atmosphere on the border similar to this weather. It made people extremely irritated. However, Mahachi, who was guarding Daning, was able to keep his composure. He seemed to be waiting for something, that is, he would not send any troops to the east.
Even if the Tatar army does not come, Wan Lei will not be idle either. He is laying out the entire Guangning City. The granary is filled with "grain". Of course, a caring person will know at a glance that only the surface is grain, and the bottom is a pile of grain. The wheat straw mixed with gunpowder will trigger the mechanism and cause an instant fire and explosion if someone rushes into the granary.
The official treasury is filled with silver, but like the granary, it has silver ingots on the surface and piles of bombs underneath. As soon as someone opens one of the silver boxes, it will explode suddenly. The official office is decorated both inside and outside, but it is under the lobby. , buried a bunch of "court mines", and as long as someone is rummaging around in the government office, they will suddenly explode...
There are many more such arrangements. Almost every private house is equipped with landmines, especially the wells in the city. Most of them have been filled with highly toxic substances such as mercury chloride. Drinking the water from these wells can lead to death on the spot even if you don’t drink it. , can also cause severe poisoning symptoms.
It is precisely because Guangning City has become a huge "Thunder City" that most of the soldiers and civilians have been moved outside the city. Only a few people in the city are waving flags and beating drums. If the Tatar army comes in large numbers, If they commit a crime, they will pretend to be fleeing and give this "Thunder City" to the Tatars as a big gift. The Tatars will definitely be very surprised when they receive this big gift.
After arranging the inside of Guangning City, Wan Lei was not idle yet and started to arrange the outside of the city. Carloads of newly made landmines were transported from Beiping City and buried around Guangning City. These mines were not to prevent the Tatars from entering the city. , but to prevent them from leaving the city. So it was just buried in advance and would not be used until the Tatars entered the city.
In a valley five miles outside Guangning City, there is a small village with hundreds of "villagers" living in it. Of course, these people are all fake. Their true identities are officers and soldiers of the Peking Army. And they stay here. , one is to lay mines, and the other is to observe the enemy's situation. At the same time, this is also the frontline headquarters of this battle codenamed "Wolf Hunting".
"Sir, the secret sentry from Daning reported that another troop of ten thousand people entered Daning City, and the sound of war drums often came from the city, which must be a precursor to the expedition." In an extremely ordinary private house, a group of people marched into Daning City. The man in black said to the young man sitting on the kang.
"Let the enemy search teams on the front line be ready for action at all times, and we must lead the Tatar army to Guangning." The man sitting on the kang is Wan Lei, who is dismantling and assembling some gadgets. Zhao Xueer is also sitting on him She was next to her, and she was wearing patched clothes, and her face was smeared with stove dust. She looked like a farm girl.
"Sir, please rest assured. We have been rehearsing for so long to lure the enemy to Guangning." The man in black is Li Chengkun. Although he is the commander of the entire battle, Wan Lei is the commander of the entire battle. arranged according to the strategy.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. We have been planning for so long. Success or failure depends on one move. There must be no mistakes." Wan Lei said again.
"Understood, I will send an order to the enemy search team. This time, they can only succeed and not fail." The man responded, and then said: "Beiping City has sent five more carts of mines. Do we still want to bury them?"
"Isn't it agreed that it's enough? There's no need to send it. Why do you still send it?" Wan Lei frowned and said: "Since it's been sent, let's put it in the library first. We'll see what the situation is. If it's not used, It will be transported back to storage and sealed.”
Things like gunpowder, artillery shells, and mines are all products controlled by the Peking Army. Without an order from the Military Commission, none of them can be dispatched. Wan Lei only ordered twenty-five vehicles to be dispatched, but he did not expect that there would be more in the arsenal. Five carts arrived. Wan Lei frowned and thought to himself: It seems that the management of the arsenal will need to be strengthened in the future to prevent gunpowder from being lost.
Just as Wan Lei was looking for loopholes in the management of the military depot, an elite guard hurriedly came to him and whispered a few words in his ear.
"What? Say it again." Wan Lei suddenly stood up.
"Sir, the passwords for the group of people who just arrived to transport the mines don't match up." The Jing Zhongwei whispered again.
"Quick, hurry up and control these people." Wan Lei faintly smelled a hint of conspiracy, because all officers of the Peking Army will know all the daily passwords of the Peking Army. Those who don't know the passwords will probably do so. He was a spy, so he hurriedly gave the order, and then hurriedly added: "By the way, don't touch those cars."
"Sir, these people are holding the customs clearance documents issued by Commander Zhou. They shouldn't be fake." Li Chengkun frowned and said. As the commander of an army, of course he also knew the internal safety regulations of the Peking Army. But when he saw it, If there is a commander-level customs clearance document, the password will no longer be asked.
"The customs clearance document signed by Commander Zhou?" Wan Lei looked uncertain and said: "If it is the customs clearance document signed by Commander Zhou, it is even more impossible for those people to not know the password. Get the customs clearance document immediately. Show me."
"This, this is the customs clearance document." Li Chengkun took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket and handed it over. Wan Lei took it and looked at it, then said to Zhao Xueer: "Go and get the magnifying glass."
Zhao Xueer did not dare to neglect, and immediately took out a magnifying glass from the tool box and handed it over. Wan Lei took it and took a closer look, his face became more gloomy, and said: "This is not Commander Zhou's seal, it is fake!"
"Fake?!" Li Chengkun was shocked.
"See for yourself." Wan Lei handed the magnifying glass to Li Chengkun and said: "Commander Zhou is the commander of the First Army and a four-star general, so four secret lines are engraved on the edge of the seal. There are no secret patterns, it’s obviously a fake.”
"Ah, it's really a fake." Li Chengkun was even more horrified, "Who, who is so bold, dares to fake Commander Zhou's seal."
"Daring to forge the commander's seal is a big deal! Unexpectedly, just half a month after I left Beiping City, demons and monsters came out." Wan Lei is not afraid of any enemy, he is afraid of being stabbed in the back by his own people. , "Come here, take those people under control immediately, interrogate them severely, and be sure to pry open their mouths as soon as possible. By the way, seal the information tightly to prevent the news from leaking out."
Wan Lei gave this order, and several elite guards quickly went down to do their work. Wan Lei looked at the customs clearance document with some uneasiness, thinking about who could cause this. And just now At this time, a violent explosion sounded. Wan Lei rushed out and saw that a large crater had been blown out at the entrance of the village, and the surrounding area was in chaos.
"What's going on?" Wan Lei was furious because the danger was so close to him.
"Sir, those people were spies. When they saw their identities exposed, they ignited the gunpowder in the car. Those spies were all blown to pieces." One face was scratched. Jing Zhongwei, who had suffered several wounds, stumbled over to report. He spoke in a loud voice. It must be that his ears were impacted by the explosion and he was temporarily hard of hearing.
"Are there any casualties, brothers?" Wan Lei hurriedly looked at the explosion site and found that a few men in black were still moving on the ground. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After all, every elite guard around him was his precious little one. Losing one is a huge loss.
"When the brothers saw that the situation was not going well, they quickly hit the ground and lay down. Although they were slightly injured, their lives were not affected." Another Jingzhong Guard came to report, and more Jingzhong Guards went to rescue their teammates.
"Ruthless, really cruel!" Li Chengkun's expression suddenly changed, "The target of these spies must be Mr. Now that the assassination failed, he actually blew himself up. It seems that there is someone behind them, and he is someone who is hiding deeper. , unless the mastermind behind this is found, we, the Peking Army, will never have a chance to live in peace."
"Brother, what should I do? These people can come to assassinate you for the first time, and they can come for the second time, and it is impossible to guard against it." Zhao Xueer was also anxious.
"Judging from the seals, these people don't know that the seals we use are engraved with various secret patterns. In addition, these people can't even follow the daily passwords. They are definitely not from the Peking Army, and they are not even able to A traitor was recruited from the army, so it can be inferred that these people are not from the core level. However, since they are not from the core level, how can they forge the seal of Commander Zhou?" Wan Lei frowned and thought deeply.
"There are many people who have seen the official documents. It is not impossible that someone kept a private document with Commander Zhou's seal as a template." said a loyal guard next to Wan Lei.
"That's true." Wan Lei frowned and said to Li Chengkun: "Commander Li, I leave the war here to you, are you sure you can control the overall situation?"
"Sir, please rest assured that my subordinates will be able to complete the combat mission as planned. If there is any mistake, we will see you later."
"It's not that serious. You just need to act according to the plan. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will." Wan Lei patted Li Chengkun on the shoulder and said to Jing Zhongwei beside him: "Send someone to release the wind, saying that I was blown up." He is seriously injured and his life is at stake. He is unable to return to Peiping in Guangning City."
"At the same time, we sent people thousands of miles away to hurry up and tell the four commanders that I was not injured, and told them to stay put. Now prepare our horses and we will rush back to Peking at night!" Wan Lei ordered repeatedly.
"Brother, why are you giving up the news? Sister Wei'er will definitely be anxious if she hears the news that you are injured." Zhao Xueer asked.
"In order not to alert others, and prevent those thieves from running away if they hear that something is wrong." Wan Lei jumped on his horse, "If you want your sister Wei'er not to worry about death, we must return to Peking as quickly as possible!"
"Go back to Peiping? If you go back like this, you won't be afraid of those people in Peiping City..."
"It's useless to be afraid, your sister Wei'er is still in Peiping! However, we can't go back with our current identities, but have to disguise ourselves." Wan Lei said, and as soon as he loosened the reins, the war horse galloped out, and Immediately behind him were dozens of elite guards.
