Chapter 371 Sneaking into Yecheng
It is said that the Black Mountain Army tentatively attacked Ye City. As expected, Yuan Shao's army was extremely well prepared and attacked the city wall several times without success. With the dead and wounded lying beside the city wall, Chen Long issued an order to attack in turn without stopping, in order to cover his own city charger filled with black gunpowder and successfully reach the city gate.
Chen Long thought of his promise to Xu You and lamented in his heart that he couldn't even get a night's rest. Tonight, while the battle was tense, the defenders' attention was focused on Dongcheng and Nancheng, just in time to fulfill their promise to Xu You, otherwise the city would be destroyed early tomorrow morning. The soldiers who failed to protect the guards would attack Xu You's family in prison.
After arranging the time for the siege vehicle death squads to ignite the guns, and after some careful drills, the attack timing and route of the siege vehicle have been properly arranged. Chen Long repeatedly emphasized how to use other offensive cover to ensure that the siege vehicles were close enough to the city gate, and that after the subsequent city gate was blown to pieces, the tens of thousands of cavalry commandos prepared, as well as the distance between the front and rear troops, passed After careful planning, Zhou Buji vowed to issue a military order to Chen Long, and Chen Long was finally relieved. In this battle, victory is allowed but no defeat is allowed. If you win, you will have both the people and the city, but if you lose, you will have nothing.
The night was deep, and a few cuckoo calls suddenly sounded outside the dark west city wall, and then several responses came from a dark corner. The black shadow disappeared in a flash and entered a shallow pit beside the city wall. Several people lying down inside saluted in unison: "Lord!"
Chen Long made a silent sign with his hand gesture. Seeing that the shallow pit was close to the city wall, he already understood its meaning and directly opened the soil under the city bricks to reveal a small passage.
Chen Longyun listened carefully, and there were occasional sounds of patrolling footsteps on the west city wall. Apparently, due to the strong attack from the southeast and the east all day long, all the manpower had been mobilized, and the defensive force of the west city was very weak. This small passage should have been expanded and dug by using the original cat and dog passage after Lu Chang and others arrived.
Chen Long no longer hesitated and waved his hand. Lu Chang and his team members climbed over first, and soon the sound of peaceful birdsong filled the city. Chen Long quickly followed up and entered Yecheng; beside the inner wall was a narrow alley, close to many houses, which was very convenient for hiding his figure.
Chen Long recalled the locations of several key locations in the city that Xu You had said. He led several team members through the deserted alleys and easily crossed the curfewed streets. He used the hiding techniques of the special forces to escape a wave of attacks. Bo's patrol came to a huge official office.
It was dark inside the official office, and there was no sound on the surface. However, Chen Long knew from Xu You's introduction that this was the prison where officials and their families were usually detained. During the war, I'm afraid even civil servants were dragged to the front lines.
Chen Long's mind was racing. Now it seems that rescuing people is not a problem, but after rescuing people, how to safely hand them over to Xu You is a big problem. If a large group of old, young, women and children who don't know martial arts walk openly on the street under curfew Going home is undoubtedly a joke.
Chen Long thought for a moment and had made up his mind. Tomorrow morning there will be thunder and thunder, and Yecheng will definitely be captured. What he can control is the approximate time of the explosion. If we rescue people at this time, as soon as the explosion sounds, no troops will take care of this place.
After further thinking, as long as he controls the limited guards of the official office, then this official office can become a protective place for Xu You's family. When the city is broken tomorrow morning, Taishi Ci's troops will enter the city and send a team to guard here first to ensure that everything is safe.
A complete plan has been formed in Chen Long's mind. First of all, the time to attack the government office is determined to be the darkest moment before dawn tomorrow. In this way, after Xu You's family is rescued, it will be the time to detonate soon. It is almost certain that no troops will come to reinforce the government office; secondly, send someone to notify Xu You immediately , just let him wait for the good news at home, and don't expose any flaws; finally, send someone back to the camp to report to General Taishi Ci. After breaking down the city gate, immediately send a team of cavalry to reinforce and guard the location of the official office to ensure Xu You's family is safe.
The plan went through Chen Long's mind several times and the details were thought over again before Chen Long made it clear to Lu Chang and his subordinates. Lu Chang nodded and took note, and then asked: "What should we do if Military Advisor Xu You is not at home? In this situation, I'm afraid even pigs will be sent to the battlefield."
Chen Long smiled and explained: "This possibility exists, but it is unlikely. Xu You has been alienated by Yuan Shao, and his family has been framed by the trial matchmaker, so the most likely thing is that he is idle at home. Well, if the team members cannot be found at home He should just leave it to fate and see what happens to him!"
Everything has been decided, and two team members have left to do things. Only three people are left here, including Chen Long and Lu Chang. The three of them found a large leafy tree to hide in, waiting for the moment before dawn.
Time passed little by little, Chen Long closed his eyes and fell asleep, and the operation of the Tuanxi Gong gradually reached his limit. Chen Long discovered that his current skill should be between the late third level and the fourth level. Using his consciousness to slightly stir the airflow in his Dantian, he would see a small yin and yang vortex. If you increase the power, the vortex will collapse immediately. It seems that your own consciousness cannot continue to increase and exert the power of the vortex. This was a situation that was not mentioned in the Tuanxi Exercise Booklet, and Chen Long didn't know how to deal with it. He could only follow the introduction of the fourth level exercise and continue to try to break through, but he was never able to operate freely.
But with the Tuanxi Gong, the human body's senses are straightened to the limit, and can even be sensed through the air, as if water can feel the clouds in the sky, soil can feel the mines underground, and trees can feel the roots of other trees. It is really mysterious.
Lu Chang opened his eyes wide and looked around, but there was nothing in the darkness. Suddenly someone tapped his shoulder. When he turned around and was about to ask his lord what was going on, he saw Chen Long put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture. gesture, and then another gesture: "Someone is coming!"
Lu Chang was startled and quickly listened and observed, but found nothing. It turns out that the limit of Chen Long's senses at that time was several times higher than that of Lu Chang, so the range of sensing distance was naturally wider.
A few minutes later, the sound of neat footsteps could be heard in the air. Lu Chang gave Chen Long a thumbs up, and then the three of them hid in the branches, only exposing their eyes to observe the street. Then there were the sounds of clothes rubbing against each other, swords and guns rubbing against each other, and even the sounds of coughing and talking. It was as if an army of unknown numbers had arrived.
Chen Long and the others looked at each other in confusion, thinking that they might be mobilizing the passing troops and waiting quietly for the incoming troops to pass by. Unexpectedly, a procession stopped in front of the government office, apparently with the government office as its destination. In the darkness, a carriage stopped directly under the steps of the official office. The curtains of the carriage were lifted, and a figure whose face could not be seen clearly landed on the ground. The man stood up slowly, turned around and gave an order. In the darkness, he was tall and thin, and his face was obscured by a gauze hat, making it impossible to see clearly.
This person gave an order and the team slowly entered the official office. Chen Long blurted out and shouted softly: "Not good!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
