In the silent night, the short-term peace is about to be broken. At this time, except for the places illuminated by torches and lanterns, the rest of Xiaoguan is dark. It is a good time to engage in night activities and sneak around.
"Hurry, hurry up, everyone, hurry up, hurry up, we don't have much time, hurry up!"
Looking at the Xiaoguan City gate getting closer and closer, Hong Er kept urging in a low voice.
There is no way, time is running out, if we don¡¯t hurry up, they will be exposed as soon as daybreak, and what awaits them will be massacre!
Following Hong Er's whispered urging, the group of men in black quickened their pace of action again. However, although everyone in this group of people was agile, moved quickly, and took long strides, the scene of hundreds of people running was Not even a slightly louder sound was made.
There was an extremely sharp contrast between this seriousness and the movement at this time. From this, I saw that in this group of people, everyone has special skills. They are all martial arts masters and masters in the military. Otherwise, it would be impossible to present a picture. Such a contrast.
Under the light of the morning star, this group of people finally came to a place less than a hundred steps away from the Lixiaoguan city gate and stopped.
This is where the closest shield to the Li Xiaoguan City Gate is located. As we move forward, it can be said to be an open area, with no shield left at all. This is to prevent someone from attacking from the inside. A specially reserved open space.
Now, as long as this group of people want to reach the city gate of Xiaoguan, they must pass this short distance of one hundred steps. However, these one hundred steps are also the final obstacle, but if they want to pass. It can only be exposed under the eyes of the guards.
If this is the case, then Hong Er and his team¡¯s raid will end in vain. Because who knows, this mere distance of a hundred steps can be covered in a few breaths of time in front of this group of experts. Arriving at the foot of the opposite city wall, we reached the Xiaoguan Gate.
But this gave the guards on the city wall enough time to sound the alarm for the enemy attack. By then, their operation would not only end in vain, but also cost their own lives. This is not What Hong Er and the others expected to see.
So in order to deal with this situation. The people in black who have been undercover in Xiaoguan for many years have been prepared for this situation.
¡°Blue 1, Blue 2, Blue 3, and Blue 5, come here and let¡¯s discuss the next step of action!¡±
Looking at the nearby Xiaoguan City Gate, Hong Er decisively called Blue One, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Blue Five together to discuss the next move.
"Sir, you are looking for us. We are here. If you need anything, please give me your orders!" When they heard Red 2's summons, Blue 1, Blue 2, Blue 3, and Blue 5 were so lazy that they rolled around in a hurry. Duo Duo ran to Hong Er and waited for his instructions.
"It's like this. Look at Blue One, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Blue Five. We are the last row of obstructions from Xiaoguan City to Xiaoguan City Gate. There is nothing ahead that can be used to block or shadow. Hiding something.
If we just run over like we did just now, we will definitely be exposed, so I ask you to come and discuss what to do next. The Han people have a good saying, one person is short, two is long, three are wise. The cobbler is like Zhuge Liang! "
¡°My lord, it¡¯s already now, do we have anything else to discuss? We can just go ahead and act according to the original plan!
"Anyway, we have no retreat now. If we don't succeed, we will die. It's too late to discuss other things at this time!" "
? Blue One did not take it seriously when Red Two called them to discuss the next move at this time, but instead urged them to act faster.
But yes, now that they have reached this point, there is no room for them to retreat every day. Now even if they want to go back the same way and return to their residence in Xiaoguan at this time, it is useless because there is simply not enough time. Let them lurk back again.
"Yes, sir, please give the order quickly. Now I will ask the people below to prepare and prepare for action. Time is running out!"
After Blue One finished speaking, Blue Two followed closely behind Blue One and began to urge Red Two to give the attack order.
After Lan Er finished speaking, Lan San and Lan Wu also looked at Hong Er as the commander-in-chief with urging eyes, waiting for his order.
"You have misunderstood me. Blue One, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Blue Five all know that we are all carefully selected by the organization and trained with great pains and expense. For the organization's Loyalty, there is no doubt about it.
And you all know the organization¡¯s methods for those who fail to complete tasks or defect. There are people out there who dare to disobey the organization¡¯s instructions! "
???????????????????When thinking about the organization's measures against those who failed to complete the mission or defected, Lan 1, Lan 2, Lan 3, and Lan 5 suddenly seemed to think of something terrifying, which frightened them so much that their whole bodies trembled and their faces turned pale. It seemed that They are frightened by this method!
Although Hong Er performed better than them, it seemed that he was as frightened by the organization's methods as they were!
After calming down for a while, Hong Er resumed the previous topic and continued:
"You and I don't dare to disobey the orders of the organization, so tonight's action is necessary. Otherwise, you and I will not want to see the consequences, and we are not willing to bear them. That is the real life." It¡¯s better to die.¡±
"Yes! Sir, neither you nor I can afford this consequence, nor are we willing to bear it, nor can we bear it.
"Anyway, now we have only one way, there is no retreat, you just give the order and let the brothers take action!" "
After Red Two finished speaking, Blue One, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Blue Five spoke to him.
"Well, having said that, I still feel something is wrong. What exactly is wrong? I haven't figured it out yet, but I just feel something is wrong. Don't you feel that our actions tonight were too smooth? "
Although Red Two agrees with Blue One, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Blue Five, he still has some doubts.
"My lord! Don't be so paranoid now, everything goes well. Isn't it good that everything goes well?"
You don¡¯t really expect us to go through all kinds of hardships along the way to get here. We don¡¯t have masochistic tendencies! "
After hearing Hong Er¡¯s doubts, Lan San decisively spoke to him in order to interrupt Hong Er¡¯s current doubts. Let them send troops quickly.
After Lan Wu said after Lan San's opening to Hong Er, then Lan San said to Hong Er:
¡°Sir, our operation went so smoothly tonight. It can be said that we had the right time, location, people, and people!
Let¡¯s talk about the time of day first. Now it is the end of Mao time, which is the time of day when black and white alternate. We all know that before this kind of dawn, when black and white alternate, it is the darkest time of the day, because the moon has set at this time, but the sun has not yet come out, and the stars in the sky are basically in full shadow. If at this time No torches. Even if someone is standing within ten steps, you and I can't see clearly.
Due to the favorable location, our group of people arrived at Xiaoguan ten days ago at the latest. At that time, the Tang army had not yet arrived at Xiaoguan. In addition, we were undergoing a new round of rest and reorganization in Xiaoguan at that time. We had already conducted several rounds of reconnaissance on Xiaoguan without the Tang army paying attention. It can be said that we knew the environment of Xiaoguan well and knew how to get there. It is not easy to be discovered by Tang Jun.
It is even easier for the last person to reconcile. Look, my lord, the Tang army had a extra meal yesterday because of their great victory yesterday. Everyone was rewarded with more than a pound of meat, so they sang and danced last night to celebrate their victory. Night.
At the same time, due to yesterday's great victory, Tan would never have imagined that someone would sneak attack the city gate from inside on the night of their great victory.
You see, although the curfew was implemented last night, the density of the Tang Army patrolling the city last night and the intensity of enforcement were seen by you, my lord. The Tang Army last night was still completely intoxicated with yesterday's victory. Everyone is absent-minded.
In addition, since the curfew cannot be lifted until dawn, we dodged the Tang Army who was casually patrolling the city, and we didn¡¯t have to hide around to avoid the residents who got up early. This made it so easy for us to come. Here we are.
I want to say that this Tang Jun's curfue is not only unsuccessful, but this is exactly facilitating our actions tonight! "
"Well, Lan Wu, what you said makes sense, but I still feel something is wrong. I just can't remember what's wrong at the moment!"
¡°Forget it, I won¡¯t think about it now. It¡¯s useless. Anyway, no matter whether it¡¯s right or wrong, we have to take action.
Now I¡¯m starting to give orders, Lan Yi, take your people to the left. Do you see those three people walking back and forth on the city wall?
Those three people are your targets. Remember, you only have one chance. You must kill them three at once! "
Hong Er pointed to the three people on his left who were walking back and forth on the wall of Xiaoguan, and ordered Lan Yi.
"Yes! Don't worry, sir. I have been waiting for this day to log in for many days. I promise not to miss it and to complete the mission resolutely!"
After receiving the order from Hong Er, Lan Yi decisively assured Hong Er.
Then, after Hong Er gave the order to Lan Er, he turned to Lan Er and pointed to the people on his right and said:
"Lan Er, your mission is similar to Lan Yi. Your future target is the person patrolling back and forth on the wall on my right!"
After speaking, Red 2 didn¡¯t wait for Lan 2 to say anything. He turned around again, faced Lan 3 and Lan 5 and said:
¡°Blue Three and Blue Five, your tasks are similar to those of Blue One and Blue Two, at least the front is the same.
Lan San, come and see, have you seen the bonfire at Xiaoguan City Gate? "
"Sir, Lan San saw it!"
"Okay, Lan San, your mission right now is to take your people and kill the Tang Army soldiers who are warming themselves up at the bonfire first. Just like Lan Yi and Lan Er, they must be one." The fatal blow will not allow them any time to react, are you sure?"
Hong Er asked Lan San, pointing to the bonfire that was directly opposite Xiaoguan City Gate and less than twenty steps away from Xiaoguan City Gate.
"I'm sure, Lan San is guaranteed to complete the mission. Please rest assured, sir. I have trained several sharpshooters for this mission.
With just a mere seventy or eighty steps away, plus five or six people, it¡¯s not a problem at all, it¡¯s a piece of cake! "
Regarding Hong Er¡¯s question, Lan San answered with a calm, powerful and confident tone. Obviously, he was fully confident.
"That's good, that's it. In the end, Lan Wu is up to you. You should know that according to the regulations. How many people are there to guard the city gate at night?"
"Yes, sir, I know. I have also made a special investigation on this. For example, tonight, a team of fifty Tang soldiers guarding the night gate of Xiaoguan are guarding here. As a rule, they are divided into two groups, each group of twenty-five people. , led by the team leader and team deputy respectively, and guarded in the middle of the night!"
Although Lan Wu didn¡¯t know what Hong Er wanted to do by asking, he still decisively told Hong Er what he knew about the situation.
"Then look, how many people are at the guard station at Xiaoguan City Gate now?" Hong Er asked again after hearing Lan Wu's answer.
"Here. This kid really didn't pay attention. Sir, wait a minute. Let me see how many people are here.
"One, two, three, four, five fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, sir, there are eighteen of them!" "
"Don't you think it's strange? Logically speaking, there should be twenty-five people here. How could it be eighteen people?"
After getting Lan Wu¡¯s accurate answer. Koji once again asked them his question.
After hearing Red Two's question, Blue One, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Blue Five also realized that something was wrong. Yes, where were the seven missing people? This is wartime, and this kind of off-duty behavior is simply not possible. It is impossible to exist purely. Once discovered, the consequences will be unbearable!
When Blue One, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Blue Five looked at him with doubts, Red Two smiled proudly and said to them:
"No need to look around, they are here. They are not off guard at all. They are just hiding as secret sentries. It seems that the guards at Xiaoguan are still rough and fine. Although the patrol guards after the curfew are not strict, they are still there. There are several secret sentries arranged at this city gate.
He attaches great importance to the safety of Xiaoguan City Gate, but he also believes that if the Khan wants to attack Xiaoguan City at the minimum cost, he can only attack the city gate at night. He can only wait for the city gate to fall, open the city gate and lower the suspension bridge, but Only Khan can win Xiaoguan at the minimum cost."
After saying that, Red Two tapped his hand several times in the dark night to guide Blue One, Blue Two, Blue Three, and Blue Five to find the hiding place where the secret sentry was ambushing Xiaoguan City Gate at this time. Blue counted five, no more, no less, exactly seven!
"Sir, I am really convinced by you now. These seven hidden sentries plus the eighteen open sentries in the open place are exactly 25 people. This makes me not convinced. But how did you find out, sir? Those seven secret sentries in the darkness?"
"What's the point? Their shadow hiding methods, in my opinion, are just elementary methods, not worth mentioning at all!
But I felt relieved when I saw them. If these secret sentries had not existed, I would have been really worried. I thought this was a trap specially set by the Tang Army for us to exploit. Now it seems that this is not what I suspected. .
If it were really a trap, the Tang Army would not have needed to place the seven hidden sentries at those seven positions, because although the seven hidden sentries were trivial in my opinion and not worth mentioning, if ordinary people came to attack at night, they would not be worth mentioning at all. The hiding place of these seven people could not be found.
?????????????????????????? It seems that the caution I just expressed was unnecessary. The fact that we went so smoothly tonight was entirely due to Tang Jun¡¯s negligence! "
Hong Er looked at the hiding place of the seven secret sentries and said to Blue One, Blue Two, Blue Three and Blue Five with emotion.
"Sir, I have already said that you are worrying too much. Now you must agree with me.
¡°Lan San, it¡¯s better for us to be more suspicious, so that we can live longer. Life is our own, not someone else¡¯s.
Okay, let¡¯s not talk about that now. I will continue what I just said. Your task, Lan Wu, is to lead your people to kill the other Tang troops next to the bonfire while Lan San leads his people. Kill the dozen or so outposts outside the city gate. "
"Okay, Lan Wu promises to complete the mission, but sir, what about the seven hidden sentries? If we don't kill them, our work will be in vain. If we just kill the open sentries without killing the hidden sentries, it will be in vain and useless!" "
"Isn't it me? I will lead my men to kill the remaining seven secret sentries. The hiding places of those seven people are not so easy to kill. I leave it to you. I am still a little worried. What if this happens? If you really miss it, it will be in vain!¡±
¡°That¡¯s right, sir, if you personally take action, it will definitely be a success and nothing will go wrong!¡±
After Lan Wu said that he would personally lead people to kill the seven secret sentries, Lan Wu flattered Hong Second.
For Blue Five, Red Two obviously enjoyed it quite a bit. It was a bit arrogant, but he still did not forget about business.
"Okay, I won't say more about the rest. Do everything according to my instructions. You first use the Wanjun crossbows in your hands to aim at your respective targets. After I give the order, I will shoot you immediately. Each has his or her own goals, and then acts according to the initial assignment, do you know?"
(The sniper crossbow appeared as early as the Han Dynasty. The most important part of the crossbow is the "machine". The crossbow machine is generally made of copper and is installed in the "guo" (box-shaped) of the crossbow. In front of it is the "teeth" for hanging the string. "(Hook), "Tooth" is followed by "Wangshan" (a front sight for aiming); since the Western Han Dynasty, the "Wangshan" of crossbows has a scale engraved on it, which is equivalent to the rear sight on modern firearms, making it easy to adjust according to the target distance. The angle at which the crossbow is fired increases the hit rate of the shot.)
"I understand, sir, I promise to complete the mission!"
"Action! Shoot!" After the shooting order was given, the crossbowmen who had already been deployed everywhere aimed at their own targets and fired the crossbow arrows in their hands. Almost at the same time, all the targets named by red were hit by arrows quietly. Arrived.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Hong Er decisively issued an order:
¡°Blue Five puts out the signal and asks Blue Four and Blue Six to set fire to attract Tang Jun¡¯s attention. The others rush with me and open the door to let the Khan enter the city!¡¯
