It's night

The smoke and rain are still there, and the cold wind is biting.

Outside Wuchang City, braziers were lit everywhere in the barracks of the bandit army, and the firelight illuminated the entire camp.

In Wuchang City, braziers are also lit everywhere, illuminating the entire city wall section of Wuchang City.

Zhang Rui also came to the Qing Dynasty to know how nonsense it was to watch the troops in TV works with torches.

Torches are not unavailable, but they are rarely used. Because at this time there is little chance that the army will march at night, and the torches are not like in the TV movies.

As for those in the film and television, those who wrap wooden sticks and pour tung oil on them are purely misleading others. Because cloth at this time was not cheap, and such torches were not burned.

At this time, the torch was a columnar made of cedar bark, and the holding part and the burning part were one. Among them, the cedar bark should be cut longitudinally with a knife, refined into filaments and strips according to the requirements of each part, and some fir oil powder can be slightly mixed in the middle, and it is better to have pine oil, but not too much, and the torch is not durable. These treated cedar bark are then rolled up and bundled.

Torches are troublesome to make, and the light is very average. At this point, the brazier is the best choice.

In order to prevent rainy days, the top of the brazier at this time is equipped with a baffle to block the rainwater on rainy days, so as to prevent rainwater from coming in and pouring out the flames of the brazier.

"Your Excellency the Governor, please sit back and wait for our good news."

Yang Yide, the head of the green camp outside the city wall section of Wangshan Gate in Wuchang City, knelt down on one knee and said to Min Rui.

"Okay, then the governor is here waiting for the good news from President Yang Qian." Min Rui brushed the short beard on his chin and said:

"When President Yang Qian successfully returns, the governor will definitely ask the court for the credit of President Yang Qian."

"Yes, then I will thank the Governor first." Yang Yide replied happily, and then kowtowed to Min Rui three times.

Subsequently, Yang Yide led thirty dead soldiers of the Green Battalion down from the city wall with baskets on the city's head.

Looking at the backs of these departing Green Battalion soldiers, Min Rui's mind once again appeared the scene when the generals suggested.

Indeed, if a large army was allowed to go out of the city to fight the bandit army, Min Swe would not do it anyway.

However, if only a small number of Green Battalion soldiers were sent to harass the camp of the bandit army, Min Rui really couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

If only this gang could burn the food and grass of the thieves. It would be great if you could even set the gunpowder keeps of the anti-thieves on fire. In this way, these thieves have to leave even if they don't want to go, so they can buy a lot of time for the newly arrived Pingnan general Fu Heng, and their position will be much safer.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Min Rui agreed to let a green battalion lead troops out for a sneak attack. After all, the loss of troops brought by a thousand generals has little impact on the defense of the entire Wuchang City.

Although Yang Yide knew the danger of this sneak attack, if it succeeded, the reward would definitely not be small. It was precisely because of this that Yang Yide and the green battalion soldiers led by him set off in the dark with anticipation.

"Mr. Qian, it will be thirty zhang or so to the camp of this thief. What are we going to do? A green battalion soldier who was exploring the road in front came back and asked Yang Yide on one knee.

"Okay, get up, and let everyone gather here." Yang Yide commanded to the kneeling green battalion soldiers.

"Yes, Mr. Sen." The green battalion soldier replied and got up and went to find the others.

Less

This time, the thirty green battalion soldiers led by Yang Yide gathered around Yang Yide.

"Brethren, I believe you are aware of the risks of our mission. Death couldn't be easier for us, so I hope that after a while everyone will see the opportunity and stop making a big fuss. Yang Yide said to the green battalion soldiers who came around.

"Yes, Mr. Sen."

"Got it..."

"Don't worry, if you get that money, you'll give up this life..."

The green battalion soldiers around Yang Yide replied one after another.

"Okay, I've paid careful attention, because the anti-thieves have surrendered all the way to the Green Battalion like you and me, so there are many anti-thieves dressed like us at this time."

"At that moment, we dressed up as thieves. Then we would split into three teams of 10 people each to patrol and walk around. Remember to be bold and don't be afraid to cower. Just think of yourself as a thief. Yang Yide commanded slowly.

"Yes..."

After half a stick of incense

Yang Yide and the others entered the vicinity of the first defensive fence of the camp where the bandit army was stationed. At this point, the personnel have already been assigned.

Due to the large area, when the sentry soldiers were a little inattentive, the defensive fence of the bandit army allowed Yang Yide and others to sneak in.

However, just three minutes after the three teams of Yang Yide and others infiltrated and dispersed, before Yang Yide had time to rejoice, his team ushered in a patrol of the bandit army.

Following Yang Yide, Xiaoqi Zhong Baoguo (that is, the renamed name of the chief) naturally saluted him. Not only Zhong Baoguo was like this, but even the ten soldiers of Zhong Baoguo's first team also saluted their group.

Yang Yide had never seen such a situation, and he didn't react back at once. I was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly I thought about whether this could be some code.

Although this looks like a simple code, but if you don't reply, who knows what's the trouble?

So Yang Yide also slowly stretched out his hand and raised it unnaturally at random, which was also a military salute.

However, just after Yang Yide finished replying, he had to worry that the guys behind him would not reply to this code, after all, every living person in them used this code.
