Chapter 87: Infiltrating the City

The moon hid behind the dark clouds, and the silent darkness of the warm night surrounded the surrounding scenery, but it was not uniformly black. The mountains, woods, and hills each had different colors; there were jet black, thick black, light black, light black...

It is very similar to Chinese paintings with suitable shades and shades.

Born in sorrow, died in happiness. Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan, who was riding on the horse, couldn't help but smile when he thought of the codename of this counterattack operation "Death in Peace". His Highness Min was also an interesting person, and he even gave the fighting formation a name.

Such an elegant name.

However, Bai Wenxuan still admired Zhu Yongxing. It was not just that Zhu Yongxing dared to come to the battlefield in person, but also the various methods he came up with. In Bai Wenxuan's view, Zhu Yongxing seemed to be an ethereal and unpredictable existence, capable of

It is really amazing to get into the enemy's head and find out their thoughts and ideas.

At that time, there was no term for reverse thinking, let alone theorizing and systematizing this method. It is not surprising that Zhu Yongxing gave people an unpredictable and profound impression.

All the illusions are reasonable and create an image of a benevolent, timid and indecisive clan member. This is in line with the judgments of Zhang Yong and Xian Guoan, and also deepens the inherent impressions of Yang Chun and Fan Guo'ao, making them involuntarily relax.

Be alert.

Bai Wenxuan, who has been in the military for a long time, knows that morale can be boosted but not depleted. Once the tired soldiers relax, they cannot cheer up in a short time. It is like climbing a mountain. No matter how tired you are, don't stop. Once you stop, you will be gone.

We will be able to climb up again in a while.

It is certainly easier to be trapped in the city than to win in the field. The Qing army is all cavalry, and the narrow streets in the city limit their advantage. Moreover, things are in a hurry, and whether they can prepare horses for battle is also a problem. Various factors add up to

At the same time, as long as he can sneak in smoothly, Bai Wenxuan is still very confident about victory.

With their men wearing titles and their horses wrapped in cloth, thousands of Ming troops quietly attacked outside Tengchong City. In the distance, they could already see the vague shadow of the city wall and the light of a few lanterns on the city tower, and they stopped just now.

Is it almost the time to be ugly? Bai Wenxuan estimated the time, looked solemn, and tightened the hilt of the sword at his waist. Several generals rushed forward, briefly reported the situation of their respective troops, and then took orders one by one.

go.

…………

With a splash and a sound of wading in the water, a torch appeared in the originally dark tunnel. Under the flickering light, a group of soldiers dressed as Qing soldiers meandered forward under the guidance of several guides.

This was the trump card that Zhu Yongxing had prepared a long time ago. He sneaked into the tunnels in the city and asked the miners recruited by the Zheng family to start digging before he went to Gaoligong Mountain. With the clues in mind, that is, after digging through the foundation under the city wall, he asked

Yicheng continued to send people to secretly dig and expand, and he went to the front line with peace of mind to supervise the battle. After more than a month of intense work, the tunnel had been dug into a forest about two miles outside the city, and was reinforced with wooden boards and wooden pillars.

.

Just two days before withdrawing from Tengchong City, Zhu Yongxing sent people to check the conditions of the tunnels and carry out drainage operations. Therefore, although today's thunderstorm accumulated some water in the tunnels, it did not affect its use.

.

Wading through ankle-deep water, the infiltrating Ming army came to a fork in the cave entrance, which was already inside the city. The two guides murmured a few words in a low voice, and each led a group of soldiers to march separately. The reason for creating multiple exits

, just in case. If there is an unexpected situation where the hole is blocked, all the efforts will not be wasted.

With his head lowered and his waist half bent, Zhao Desheng was secretly shocked as he walked in the dark and damp tunnel. All the confusion was finally solved. It turned out that His Highness Min had planned it for a long time. How could this project be completed in a short time? Don't worry.

It is said that the Qing army did not expect that even he knew that there was such a tunnel leading directly into the city when he was setting up the battle before the war. It seems that he has not yet gained the complete trust of His Highness Min. However, His Highness Min gave him this opportunity, so he must hold on tight

Hold on tight!

It would be better to meet the Han army after leaving the cave, rather than the brothers from Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camp. Wang Wei'er walked in the team and prayed secretly in his heart. Although he had joined the Ming army, he mercilessly killed the former Pao Ze.

He still has some mental disorders.

And another man, Sun Sishun, who was promoted from a coolie to the Ming army because of his good singing in Bangzi tune, was also walking in the team, but he had another thought. They were all criminals who burned, killed and looted, and they were all bad guys who deserved to be punished by God.

, using this unpredictable trick, the Qing army is doomed to fail. This is a good time for me to atone for my sins and make meritorious deeds.

The team stopped, everyone's random thoughts were interrupted, their energy was concentrated, and everyone clenched the swords in their hands.

The guide carefully opened the top cover and climbed up the ladder with a torch. The tunnel was dark. After a while, light appeared at the exit. The guide stretched out the torch, inserted it into a hole next to the ladder, and greeted softly.

soldiers.

"General, this is the exit." The guide whispered to Zhao Desheng, then listened to the movement, pushed his shoulder and slowly pushed open the exit on the wall.

Zhao Desheng came out first with his sword in hand. This was a dilapidated house. You could see the sky when you looked up. Through the half-broken door, there was an abandoned yard outside, with weeds half as tall as a person. Such a place is naturally open to the clear sky.

The army is not attractive, but it is quite suitable as a gathering place for the Ming army. Could it be that the house was deliberately made so dilapidated? This thought flashed in Zhao Desheng's mind for a moment, and then was put aside. He began

Arrange the soldiers to emerge one after another.

A group of patrolling Qing soldiers walked over casually. In their opinion, this was completely unnecessary. But they could only admit that they were unlucky and envied the soldiers who were sleeping peacefully in the house.

The courtyard door was gently pushed open, and the infiltration troops dressed entirely in Qing army uniforms lined up and walked onto the street, heading towards the south gate.

…………

There was still no movement at the south gate. Bai Wenxuan's hand holding the hilt of the sword was sweating and felt uncomfortable. It might have been an accident, but the city was very quiet and there was no noise. If the tunnel was blocked, someone should report it.

Why is there no news at all?

Further away, Zhu Yongxing was also uneasy. The plan was very clever, and the people who infiltrated were all elites. With the help of prisoners, he could deceive the Qing army with his accent and carry out a surprise attack. But what if something else happened?

?It would be a joke if the winning move didn't work and Tengchong City was given up in vain. Thinking of this, Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but smile bitterly, raised his head, and stared at Tengchong City intently.

Fire? The light on the south gate tower made Zhu Yongxing suddenly open his eyes wide. Yes, it was the light of the torch, making circles.

Success! Bai Wen selected his sword, pointed it forward, and shouted: "Send the signal, attack." After the order was given, he realized that his throat was so dry that his voice had changed slightly when he yelled.
