When the three of them followed a group of fishermen who had gone into the city to sell fish, they walked back to the monastery in a circle, and the other groups that had received the task had already returned to the monastery.

After hastily drinking a large bowl of minced meat paste, Art summoned several teams and task force commanders to the ruined and leaky temple of the monastery to gather information, and the group of people randomly pulled up a few shabby benches and sat down haphazardly to surround Art in the middle.

Art took off the deerskin water bladder on his waist, pulled out the wooden cork, poured a large mouthful of cold water into his mouth, wiped the water stains, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, tell me about your respective situations, Stanley will say it first."

Stanley stood up from the bench, and Art waved his hand to sit down and speak.

"My lord, I have already inquired, the guards of the East City Gate and the North City Water Gate are the most strictly checked, and everyone who enters the city must be searched, and any items they carry must be carefully checked, but their purpose is mainly to prevent people from carrying private work to evade commercial taxes. The water gate of the southwest and the south of the city are relatively looser, because these two gates are mainly for people who go out of the city, and they do not need to pay any taxes to carry goods out of the city according to the rules, so the guards of the city gate did not pay any attention. Although the rest of the city gates are not heavily guarded, they also have to check the carriages of the people entering the city one by one. ”

"Have you inquired about the opening time of the city gate and the curfew in the city?"

"My lord, the six dry gates of the city of Thorne are closed at the first time when the church bell strikes at about seven o'clock, and the water gate is a little later, but not later than the second one; When the third night bell strikes, a curfew begins in the city, and the city guard and vigilantes patrol the city. ”

"And the time when the gates were opened was the same, when the first bell struck in the morning."

"That's all?"

"My lord, that's all for the time being, so as not to arouse suspicion, I just briefly inquired a few words with the citizens and didn't ask any more questions." Stanley regretted not asking for more information, which he had thought would be enough.

Art didn't actually blame Stanley, because he didn't mention any other detailed investigation tasks in his assignment to Stanley, "Stanley, you've done a good job, tomorrow you continue to go into the city to find out if the city guards and vigilantes are patrolling well; whether anyone will be able to leave the city after curfew; The state of the defenders of several gates during the day and night, and how tight they were. ”

"Yes!"

"Did you find that dark hole?" Art continued.

"I found it, in the northwest corner of the city, where the moat in the water grass grew very densely, someone hid a wooden raft boat in the water grass, I led people to quietly row the wooden row close to the root of the city wall, sure enough, there is a gap, but the width is not enough for people to enter and exit. After remembering the location outside the city, we mixed into the city from the north city and found the corresponding location in the city, and we also wrote it down. ”

Adam nodded a few words of encouragement before turning to Angus, "Sergeant Major, have you found the place where we live and hide?" ”

"Found it. It is a two-story house near the water gate in the north of the city, next to a tavern, and it is difficult for people to notice the abnormality. Although the house was cramped and had only one room, there was a cellar in the house where the soldiers could be hidden. ”

"The owner of the house went to Besançon last month to do business, and he couldn't come back for a while, so he handed over the house to a neighbor to help rent out, and we have escaped with the owner of the house with the neighbor of the house on the pretext of a temporary residence for business, if you think you can pay the rent tomorrow to live in."

Angus said with some regret: "That house is indeed too narrow, and more than 30 people will definitely be squeezed to death if they live in it." But Salter and I have toured the North City, and this is the only place where you can meet your requirements. ”

Art was also in trouble, and when he went into the city during the day to look for a safe house, he really felt that it was really difficult to find a house that met all the conditions, and he looked down and pondered for a while, and then thought of a solution in his mind, and replied: "Sergeant Major, you want that house, and you will pay three months' rent tomorrow." As for the problem of not being able to accommodate everyone, I will arrange it later. ”

"Yes!" Angus replied dryly.

"Ron, tell me about the results of your outpost in the city."

Ron was originally scheduled to follow Art into the city to find a safe house, but after some thought, Art decided to let him take a soldier to the city to scout the rich merchant's mansion in the North City, and he wanted to make sure that the target of the operation was still there.

"Ron?"

Ron was stroking the scar on his face with his right hand, which had been completely scabbed, and when he heard Art's call, he quickly came back to his senses and asked, "Master?"

"I'll tell you about the investigation."

Ron replied, "Today I took Smith to reconnoiter the mansion, and the mongrels are still in the mansion, and the secret sentinels around it are basically the same as the traitors, on the second floor of the tavern, at the apple stall in the free market, and at the gate of the mansion, but the walking vendor selling bread has been replaced by a grocer seller. In order not to alert them, we did not approach the mansion to snoop. ”

After a few brief words with the group about finding the safe house but not revealing the location at the end, Art began to formulate the next plan of action.

"This particular battle will start tomorrow, and according to the strategy that has been drawn up before, combined with the news that has been explored in the past few days, I will inform you of the final plan."

The task force commanders sat up straight and listened intently.

"The operation was divided into three parts - sentry, raid, retreat. Accordingly, I divided all the people involved in the operation into several groups. ”

"Stanley has selected four of the most astute and slightly ordinary-looking soldiers to form a sentry team, and you are responsible for the actual number of sentry targets, the terrain of the mansion, and the armament of the targets."

"Smith and Dawson selected three more flexible soldiers to form a city response group, sneaked into the city to observe around, memorized the distribution of terrain and roads in the city, and thought about ways to respond and get out of the city."

"Father Robert, Salt, Millers, the three of you plus two of you who have not recovered from the disease {all the way to the gallop and eat and sleep in the open, two soldiers who have fallen ill and have not been cured after treatment} as the out-of-town response team, responsible for staying in this monastery to take care of the carriages and horses, and as soon as we leave the city, you must let the carriages and horses move immediately."

"The rest of the task force soldiers, all of whom belong to the raid group, are the last sword of the operation. The raid group was handed over to Ron. ”

"The sergeant major and I are flexible, and we will go wherever we are needed."

"Early tomorrow morning, the sentinel team and the city response team will follow me into the city and hide in the houses in the north of the city. Ron stayed here with the raid team to continue training on night raids, gōng nǔ, and short weapon engagements, and when we had the city almost arranged, I would send someone to pick you up and bring your weapons and armor into the city. ”

Art looked around at the crowd and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

"Big~big~ people, we~how~ escaped from the city after the night attack?" Smith was still stammering, but he wasn't as flustered as he used to be.

"The matter of strategy needs to be carefully discussed after entering the city." Art didn't have a foolproof plan in mind.

"Are there any doubts?"

"Adult ......"
