0484 The Intelligence Bureau in the limelight
There was an uproar in the room! Everyone is glad that a problem has been solved! However, many people are still thinking in their hearts that this intelligence bureau is really from stealing chickens and dogs, and even the tricks used to fight the war are all shady tricks!
After everyone's commotion subsided, the impatient officer immediately said: "There are still three problems, which one else can your intelligence bureau solve?" ”
Luo Yan smiled, showed a mouth full of white teeth, and said, "When our director instructed us to withdraw from the new island, he asked us to bury 15 coffins under the dock camp. The coffin is full of explosives! Blow up the entire camp! ”
The officers in the cabin immediately let out a neat inhalation sound, as if to drain the air from the whole room! Then there was a huge uproar! Everyone has everything!
"Well done!"
"It's a hassle!"
"If you detonate it, it's too loud, and it will definitely alarm the people in the cottage! It's hard to fight the cottage again! ”
Among the many voices of discussion, an officer said loudly with an excited face: "Then did your intelligence bureau also plant explosives in the cottage?" ”
Everyone turned their heads to look at Luo Yan with strong anticipation in their eyes! But Luo Yan shook his head regretfully and said, "No! The floor in the cottage is all stone. It's a good way to dig a suitable hole in a hurry! It's just that we didn't expect Zheng Yiguan to occupy Xindao at the first time, so we retreated early! I knew that there was so much time to arrange to plant explosives! ”
Everyone let out a sigh of regret and a little joy! Finally, all the work was not done by the intelligence bureau! If even the cottage had bought explosives, the old and young masters would have worked for the Intelligence Bureau this time! That would be shameless!
The officer asked, "It's a good idea for you to plant explosives in the camp!" But how do you ignite it? Do you want to touch the camp? That's too dangerous, and the chances of success are not high! ”
Luo Yan said: "You can rest assured of this! We had already arranged the fuses, strung them in bamboo tubes, buried them in the ground, and led them to the vicinity of the path that led to the fort. It only takes a few rocks to find the fuse. We'll find it by touching the fort and going down the hill along the path,"
After getting Luo Yan's answer, everyone began to discuss excitedly. Soon, the second puzzle was also solved by the officers! An officer heard from Luo Yan that their guards were very lax, and he was inspired by the intelligence bureau to prepare a sneak attack on the fort, so he proposed a way to select elite water ghosts among the sailors and swim to touch the sentry boat.
Although the sea is still very cold, it is enough to hold on for a long time. As long as you can release water spirits in close proximity, it is possible for people to swim close to the sentinel boat. And if you attack the sentry ship after touching the fort, as long as you don't fire the guns, you will set fire in the cabin, and you won't be able to hear it on the island, let alone slash and kill!
The officers came up with this method, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more comfortable! Because there are not so many people in the Intelligence Bureau who are good at swimming, otherwise the limelight will be stolen by the Intelligence Bureau this time! Wouldn't it be shameless for us to be soldiers!
This method was adopted after careful discussion. But in the face of a sturdy copycat, they really can't do anything about it! So at this time, everyone secretly complained about Wu Yizhou in their hearts, how could they say that the cottage was so strong? Even if you leave a secret passage, it's good!
In the end, everyone unanimously decided that if they wanted to capture the cottage, they could only use heavy artillery bombardment. However, the mountain road was rough, and it was difficult to transport heavy artillery, and it took a long time. This is contrary to Liu Pei's strategy of fast in and fast out.
So in the end, Liu Pei made the decision and finalized the plan. The previous plan remained unchanged, only a modification was made to the plan for attacking the cottage. He proposed that if the previous plan did not deviate, he would send all his men to surround the cottage and force them to surrender! If the landing is not successful, then try to attack it. If it's really hard to conquer the cottage, then burn everything you can and retreat.
Because at this time, Liu Pei has absolutely no time to waste. Because the new island is already a supply point for Zheng Zhilong's fleet. A fleet may appear at any time. Once Liu Pei's fleet is entangled by Zheng Zhilong's fleet and dragged into a war of attrition, it will be difficult to win against Zheng Zhilong with Liu Pei's current strength.
Once the whole plan was decided, everyone went back to dispatch people. After the predictions of the old sailors in the fleet, they agreed that there would be wind and waves at sea in four days, and even heavy rain. So the day was set for the attack on the new island, and it was set for the night four days later!
The next night, the fleet slowly started. The sentinel ship had been released far away, and he was responsible for reconnoitring whether there was Zheng Zhilong's fleet in the route ahead. Fortunately, during the two-day voyage, they did not encounter any of Zheng Zhilong's fleet. Perhaps due to Liu Pei's contraction during this period, the search intensity of Zheng Zhilong's fleet has decreased a lot. This is of course good news for Liu Pei.
But with the good news comes the bad news. The bad news is that the rainy weather predicted by the old sailors did not show up at all! Although the moon in the sky is not full, it is also exceptionally bright, and the sea is shining brightly! This makes it extremely difficult to sneak attack. But Liu Peili ignored the public opinion and did not change the time. Because every minute they spend in this sea will be in danger for one more minute.
However, to Liu Pei's rejoicing, he had an all-black messenger ship in his hand. If you send a messenger ship, you may be a little more sure of success.
At midnight, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the waves reflect the moonlight and starlight. In the midst of this beautiful scenery, a ship in pitch black easily broke through the waves and quickly approached the cliffs of Niijima.
They had been here a few times and were familiar with the waterway. When the boat had come to a steady stop, several men in black scarves rowed their skiffs up the cliff and climbed up the thick rope. The messenger ship remained motionless at the bottom of the cliff as it waited for a signal from above. If the plan to attack the fort at night fails, the messenger ship must send a light signal into the distance, indicating that Liu Pei must begin the assault. But then the loss will be huge.
After Luo Yan climbed the cliff with six people, he quickly counted the number of people, and then motioned for everyone to follow him. They had climbed some distance before they reached the bottom of the walls of the fortress on the mountain road.
Luo Yan cautiously leaned over to the firing port, wanting to look inside. only to find that these pirates actually blocked the shooting holes with wooden planks in order to keep warm. Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh at the pirates in his heart. I really don't know what they do when they fight?
Seeing that the shooting hole was sealed, Luo Yan boldly put his ears close to listen carefully. I just heard the snoring inside. It seems that the enemy's defenses are really lax.
After Luo Yan made a gesture, two people quietly walked over to set up the human body and sent Luo Yan to the top of the fortress. Because the fort occupies the entire mountain road, the only way to attack this fort is to enter through a gate at the top of the fort.
Luo Yan was a good hand in the rivers and lakes before joining the Intelligence Bureau, and was later bought by Liu Jiang with a lot of money to join the Intelligence Bureau. So with the help of someone, it was easy to climb the walls of the fortress.
Sure enough, I saw that the two people below raised their arms, and Luo Yan grabbed the wall and borrowed strength, and easily climbed to the top of the fortress. But instead of rushing over the wall, he grabbed the masonry and quietly poked his head out and looked inside.
At the top of the fort was a ring of low walls, which was intended to provide cover for those shooting from the top. There is also a bamboo shed to prevent arrows and rain. Luo Yan really saw two people wrapped in blankets, leaning against the brick wall and sleeping soundly. It seems that they are supposed to be the sentinels of the sentry. It's a pity that they are so incompetent, not only did they fail to protect their companions, but they saw their lives confessed!
Seeing that they really hadn't woken up, Luo Yan used his arms to guide his body upward, and then rolled lightly on the brick wall, and his feet stepped on the top of the fortress. He lightly reached for the nearest man. He wasn't going to use a dagger, though. The smell of blood is too strong, and it may wake up these pirates who often ask about the smell of blood.
