In a house near the city gate in the south of the city, the brazier was booming and warm, and Chang Yu informed Chunxiang and Duan Wuhu and several other small leaders of the idea of lurking in Wenshui.

Sure enough, a few people thought Chang Yu was crazy.

But after knowing that his intention had been decided, he had to settle down and plan this matter.

"At this time, it is the middle of the night, and it is the most intensive time for the two armies to spy out, which can be described as the most dangerous time, and it is not recommended to set off now." Duan Wuhu shook his head and said.

"Why don't you leave at dawn, at that time, there are refugees fleeing north, and there are many people in chaos, so as to hide their whereabouts," Zhou Tianpeng, the leader of the government guard, proposed.

Chang Yu smiled bitterly.

Duan Wuhu directly choked, "Stupid, although there are many refugees during the day to hide their tracks, but the refugees are all fleeing north, let's go south, who are the people who go south at this time, isn't that clearly telling others that we are officers and soldiers spies."

Zhou Tianpeng blushed and touched his head.

"If you don't set off at dawn, it will be the most tired time for people, and the guards are lax, and after a night of tossing, the day will be bright and the spies on both sides will return to the nest, just giving us a chance" Chunxiang proposed.

"What we can think of, the thief army will also think of, and the chances of encountering them are still very great" Duan Wuhu shook his head.

"Why are you afraid of encountering it?"

Chang Yu spoke up: "At the border of power, it is inevitable that the two armies will meet each other, and if you encounter it, you will be killed, and if you can't kill, you will flee, you are very afraid."

"But let's go to Wenshui to find out the news, and if we can avoid it, we will avoid it, not to mention that it is too ostentatious to enter the realm, and it may even be surrounded and annihilated by others" Duan Wuhu is a veteran and full of experience.

Chang Yu nodded: "The thief army can pretend to be a refugee and swagger into our sphere of influence, but our people can only sneak in, but it is difficult to make a success, and it is not even sure whether the thief army will take Wenshui, let alone touch the nest of the thief army in Fenzhou Mansion."

It's really unwilling!

"Take the western mountain road," Duan Wuhu said suddenly.

In fact, it is difficult to reach Jiexiu from Taiyuan in the north, to be precise, in a basin, the west of Jiaocheng is the reckless mountains, if you go south along the side of the mountain to Jiaocheng, although the road is bumpy, but it is located in the middle of nowhere, there are many hidden places, and the probability of encountering the thief army is small.

"Wouldn't a thief think of it the same," Zhou Tianpeng rolled his eyes.

Hehe, Duan Wuhu glanced at him: "The thief army can turn into refugees and go north openly, so that they won't bother to walk over the mountain road, and at most set up a few open piles and secret posts, but everyone knows that the other party will think of this, it's hard to say what is real and false, but it is much less risky than the positive past."

Chang Yu thought so, and looked at Duan Wuhu differently, the veteran really crushed the rookie in terms of experience.

Several people discussed for a while, and decided to transfer thirty people, divided into three teams, one team of ten people, and the finished word formation lurked along the Xishan Chaowenshui.

In the second half of the ugly hour (about two o'clock in the morning), Chang Yu led a team of thirty people out of the city from the north gate of Jiaocheng, and happened to meet Zhou Yuji, who was dealing with military affairs, at the city gate.

Looking at a winding fire dragon due north, Chang Yu knew that the reinforcements had arrived.

"In the second half of the night, the password of Beidou Guangchang, to Fuhu Longpan" Niu Yong informed Chang Yu of the password at the city gate.

Zhou Yuji sighed slightly, knowing that it was useless to persuade again, and ordered a few veterans in the army to lead the way for Chang Yu, so he gave it to Chang Yu and watched Chang Yu disappear into the night.

"The factory supervisor is really a strange person"

Looking at Chang Yu and the others going away, Niu Yong shook his head lightly and said in a low voice with a smile.

"Strange people?" Zhou Yuji smiled wryly.

"Well, but it's even more amazing" Niu Yong retracted his gaze and looked at Zhou Yuji: "My lord, in addition to raising ten times the salary that was not collected at night, the factory governor also issued a reward order of ten taels of silver for killing one enemy in the army, which is not a small amount of money."

"How much don't you and me go out, didn't the factory governor say it, and then a silver car was delivered, his move was to encourage morale, and it was worth spending some silver, not to mention that he had money."

"Is the factory governor very rich, or does he use the money of the imperial court?"

Niu Yong asked curiously.

Zhou Yuji shook his head lightly: "I don't know if he uses the court or his, I don't know if he has money, I only know that he has a way to make money."

Detouring to the south of the city, Chang Yu and others went straight to the west, and there were bonfires every other mile along the way, these were all clear posts set up by officers and soldiers, and each post ranged from ten people.

After the password, Chang Yu passed one by one, until he reached the foot of the West Mountain, after a little advice, he went separately, Duan Wuhu took ten people first, Zhou Tianpeng took people to the east side, Chang Yu walked to the west side, three teams of finished fonts, separated by 100 meters from each other, along the foot of the mountain to the south.

The veterans sent by Niu Yong to lead the way were also divided into three teams as leaders, they were very experienced, knew how to lurk, were good at spotting and avoiding enemy stakes, and used simple beast language to communicate with each other.

Although it is at the foot of the mountain, it has not entered the deep mountain, but the rocks are full of thorns and thorns, and it is necessary to move forward cautiously in the dark, and it took half an hour to walk less than ten miles, which made the group feverish.

The Ming army scattered a large number of open piles and secret posts in the south of Jiaocheng, trying to lurk in the enemy-occupied area, and at the same time sniping the thief army to spy on them, now this area can be described as extremely dangerous, and Chang Yu heard the sound of killing several times along the way, which made people chill in the dark night.

After more than ten miles, a secret signal came from ahead: an abnormality has been found.

After a while, confirming that it was their own people, Chang Yu and the others hurried over, and saw four tired but energetic men in the pit between several large rocks at the foot of the mountain, but there were three corpses lying beside them.

What Chang Yu can think of, of course the veterans who don't accept it at night will also think of it, they also know that although the foot of the mountain is partial, the danger is low, and someone must wade into the water from now on, so whether it is the Ming army or the thief army, they will set up ambushes in this area to ambush those spies who are lucky.

The three corpses are the thieves' spies, and they were killed by the four Ming soldiers who did not collect them at night, although the thieves can pretend to be refugees and swagger in, but you will never allow you to sneak in, this may be the last dignity of the Ming army.

Chang Yu carefully looked at this pit, hidden behind a few large rocks to shelter from the wind, and they also dug a deep pit, and used stone slabs to block the fire for warmth, as long as there is no fire in the dark night, it will hardly expose the target, but those experienced veterans also follow the smell of smoke.

We used the smell of smoke to lure them to the bait, and we didn't take it all night, hehehe, smiled, stood up and stretched out his hand to point to a few piles of rocks more than ten meters away, there was a fire pit over there, which was actually bait.

"Do we have a manpower?" Chang Yu asked in a low voice.

Ye Bushu shook his head, "In addition to the manpower that passed a few days ago, since the thief army broke the Fenzhou Mansion yesterday and extended its tentacles to Wenshui, our manpower can't pass, and the blockade over there is also strict, and there are a few groups of brothers who went over just now, but then they retreated, and the risk is too great, and it is extremely difficult to sneak in."

Chang Yu was silent, before he arrived in Taiyuan, when the thief army was still in Pingyang Mansion, Wu Mengming, who went to Taiyuan one step ahead of him, had already sent people south to investigate, and at that time, the military of Taiyuan Mansion did not send secret agents, until he and Zhou Yuji went to Taiyuan to have a meeting in the city tower, the military sent spies south, and at that time the thief army had already arrived in Jiexiu.

The thief army broke the Fenzhou Mansion, and it was the credit of Jinyiwei that he could get the information as soon as possible, but at this time, it was easy to come from there, but it was difficult to think about it.

If you can't lurk, you can break in! Chang Yu secretly made up his mind, then looked at the corpses and asked, "What are you going to do with this?" ”。

"When we retreat after dawn, we will throw this here, and it will be difficult to build a grave for them."

Chang Yu smiled when he heard this: "Cut off your head and bring it back, now there is an order in the army, and one thief will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

"Really, then, isn't this thirty taels, brother, don't play with us" The four of them were overjoyed.

After half a cup of tea, Chang Yu and the others left and continued to sneak.

After listening to the words of those few nights, everyone cheered up and was ready to fight at any time, but after traveling more than ten miles, they were unobstructed all the way, although they encountered a few suspicious places during the period, they were all bypassed by the experienced night not collecting.

Chang Yu actually felt a little boring, looking at the sky, it should be more than four o'clock and nearly five o'clock at this time, it is possible that those thieves are tired and have begun to retreat to the nest, otherwise how can it be so easy.

"Factory father, there is a situation" At this moment, the night that led the way in front of Chang Yu was not closed, he suddenly whispered, and made a gesture at the same time, Chang Yu and the others quickly stopped, lowered their bodies and looked around, and there were a few pheasant cries faintly in their ears, which was a code signal ahead.

At the same time, in the river a few hundred meters away from Chang Yu's south, a bonfire was burning, and more than ten people were roasting around the fire, and there were several figures walking around the bonfire.

"Hey, listen, is there any sound?" said one of them, and everyone quickly shut up and listened, and the bonfire in front of them crackled and burned.

"It seems like a pheasant crowing," said one of them, and their faces changed, and then they picked up the steel knife beside them, kicked out the bonfire, and then ran towards the north shore with their waists bent.

"Dog, do you hear that?"

A person who was originally lurking on the shore nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed due north: "Over there, it is estimated that it is not more than 100 meters."

"Spread out, touch it!" The first one said in a low voice and made a gesture, and more than ten people scattered in all directions.

Fifty meters away from them, Duan Wuhu hid in a ditch, and pulled the night that was lying on the ridge in front of him and watching: "Du Laosan, have the people behind received the code?" ”

"Received"

Du Laosan turned his head in response, then poked his head out to look south, and suddenly shrank back: "It's not good, they put out the fire."

Duan Wuhu and the others immediately tightened in their hearts: "The fire is extinguished, and they withdraw?" ”

"It's possible, but it's not ruled out that they also found us"

Du Laosan's face changed: "Either there is a secret sentry near us, or the code just now has aroused their suspicion."

"The code will arouse their suspicions, you learn a lot like it," Duan Wuhu wondered.

"Brother, do you know, using the birdsong beast language as a code is the basic means of not collecting at night, whether it is an officer or a thief, although the meaning of each other's representatives is not known to outsiders, but when you go out on a mission, as long as you hear the birdsong beast language subconsciously, you will suspect that even if it is a real beast's chirp, once we don't understand it, we think that the enemy is passing the code."

Duan Wuhu suddenly realized that this kind of code is mysterious to outsiders, but to his peers, it actually exposes his identity!

"So, they must have discovered us?"

Well, Du Laosan nodded: "So they will either withdraw now, or prepare to ambush us."

"So what do we do?"

"You take people to the west to lurk, I will run to the east, and at the same time send a code to the back to obey the arrangement," Du Laosan said, and ran quickly towards the east along the waist of the cat in the ditch, and the bark of animals came out of his mouth from time to time.
