Chapter 115: Analysis of the Enemy Situation
"Huh?"
"We have been armed at all the intersections of the back mountain, and we have also set up secret posts at several passes that may be climbed, and according to the instructions of General Zuo Lang, there are four swimming posts that are constantly patrolling. With such tight defenses, the Assassins still infiltrated effortlessly, without alerting anyone. If it's a coincidence, it's a bit too coincidental. ”
Yang Qing frowned: "You mean ......"
"There's a mole!" Shang Han nodded affirmatively.
"We are ...... There is a mole? Guo Xi muttered, obviously unable to accept such a fact.
"How many people know about our detailed defense?" Yang Qing's face was solemn, and he turned to Guo Xi and asked.
"It's you and me, as well as Cao Lang, Yan Chuan, and Ye Guan. None of them can ......" Guo Xi's eyes sharpened, but then he shook his head affirmatively.
"Sure enough, it's strange......" Yang Qing didn't believe that Cao, Yan, and Ye were such people, but Shang Han's analysis was very reasonable, and he began to hesitate in pain.
"Speaking of General Zuo Lang's question at the beginning, I guessed a rough idea." Shang Han saw that one of his questions caused the two of them to become suspicious of other generals, and he felt that something was wrong, so he took the initiative to open the topic.
"Good! You said. Guo Xi really put aside the matter of the traitor for the time being, and paid attention to the words of the businessman.
"Our immediate priority, as General Zuo Lang said at the beginning, is to guess when and where, as well as the number and manner of the Assassins, choose to act. Judging from the fact that the Assassins came to spy on the truth yesterday, there must be more than one or two of them, but there should not be many of them. Assassination is not like fighting, now Huaqing Palace has three Praetorian Guard troops stationed, no matter how powerful the assassins are, it is impossible to mobilize more people than us, otherwise it will not be assassination. Even if it is sneaking in, it is a bad thing if there are many people, and if you require high martial arts, the number of people will inevitably not be much. I guess that there are only a few dozen people on the other side like yesterday's assassins. ”
"But in terms of time, it's likely to be very tight. The Assassins would only come to spy on the terrain and our defenses before they even started, and it would be useless to be early enough. I estimate that one night in the next three or five days, they will do it, of course, the assassin who led the way yesterday has been revealed, and it is uncertain whether the other party will give up or not. ”
Shang Han then motioned for Zhang Nan to bring the map. "As for the location of the infiltration, I think the Assassins are holy and will not want to entangle us too much. Their aim was to enter the inner city or even Miyagi in the shortest possible time. Since the assassins came to the back mountain to snoop, their plan must be to bypass my Jian Yuwei's defense in the back mountain and go straight to the Pearl Hall and the Hall of Eternal Life under the mountain! ”
Shang Han stared at the names of places on the map, a little distracted.
Yang Qingzheng wondered why he stopped suddenly, and just as he was about to ask, he heard Shang Han say slowly:
"I think I can probably guess that line they're going to take......"
The three of them lifted their spirits and walked around the map.
"You see, this is the place where I met the Assassin yesterday, Xixiuling! A little further east from here, you can directly see the Hall of Eternal Life under the mountain, and there is also a trail that leads directly to the bottom of the mountain. ”
Guo Xi and Yang Qing nodded again and again, Xixiuling was the place where the Yingyang Brigade was stationed after the two discussed when the deployment was arranged, and the two were quite familiar with the terrain there.
"There is a cliff on the left of Xixiuling, a ravine on the right, a trail leading to the bottom of the mountain below, and Jinsha Stream above, it is unlikely that the assassin came up from the bottom of the mountain, so he should have come from Jinsha Stream!" Shang Han's tone was very affirmative.
"Jinsha Stream is already halfway up the mountain, and on the top is the Virgin Temple, a lonely peak, and it is unlikely that the assassin came down from the top of the mountain, so he should have climbed down from the Stonefish Rock in the east!" The more Shang Han spoke, the more excited he became.
"The outer city wall has been repaired to Dongxiu Ridge below Shiyu Rock, and there are soldiers from the Shenwu Left Army patrolling on the city wall, and above Shiyu Rock is the dead end of Cuiyun Pavilion, so he came from Zoumaling to the east!"
"Outside of Zoumaling, we have no defenses." Shang Han raised his head, "The route of the assassins is very strange, from east to west, all the way is the weak point of our defense, and it is also a route that ordinary people are not very good at, and there are no roads in many places. ”
Guo Xi carefully looked at the route described by Shang Hanshuo, pondered for a long time, and then nodded slowly to Yang Qing and said, "It should be roughly the same." ”
Yang Qing just wanted to speak, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then he heard one of his own guards named Lu Meng asking, "Escort Li, ...... are you?" ”
"Oh, Brother Lu, Sima Cangcao is looking for General Zhonglang, I heard that the general is coming here, so I came over to take a look."
It's Li Yang's voice! Shang Han's heart moved, and he glanced at Zhang Nan, but did not make a sound.
Guo Xi also heard it, and shouted loudly when he heard the words: "Li Yang? Come on in! ”
Li Yang still has a signature hearty smile, and as soon as he lifted the curtain and came in, he greeted the group first, which explained his intention.
"You go back first, Zuo Lang and I will discuss some things here, and then we will arrive."
"Yes!" Li Yang simply gave a military salute, turned around and left.
"Brother Li!" Shang Han suddenly spoke with a smile.
"Huh? The caravan is ...... Something to call down here? Li Yang was a little stunned.
"Nothing. Yesterday...... Thank you Brother Li for saving me! Shang Han smiled and stared at Li Yang's eyes.
Li Yang grinned unconsciously: "You're welcome!" It should be, it should be. Seeing that the caravan is looking better today, please rest relaxed and take care! The younger brother left first. ”
"Good! Don't send it, Brother Li walks slowly. Shang Han looked at Li Yang's back thoughtfully.
"Ganting, what's wrong?" Yang Qing saw that Shang Han was silent for a long time, and it was a little strange.
"Oh, nothing." Shang Han came back to his senses, "I was thinking, assassins are good at using poison. Just in case, we should be prepared. ”
"Are we really going to let the Assassins into the inner city?" Guo Xi smiled coldly, "If there is no yesterday's incident, it would be enough, now that Gan Ting has broken through their peep, we will shrink the line of defense, focus on holding the line from Zoumaling to Shiyuyan, Jinshajian, and Xixiuling, double the swimming whistle, and at the same time notify the palace to strengthen the prevention of the north gate, are you really afraid that they will turn the sky?" ”
"Ziyin," Guo Xi then turned to Yang Qing, "I think these days, you and I will not leave our guards, and one person will patrol the inner city at any time, and then transfer the Diaoxiang Brigade to the north gate to garrison, and the Yingyang Brigade will not move." In this way, even if the Assassins did rush down the mountain, we would still have an emergency backup to prevent the Assassins from approaching the Holy One. ”
"Hmm......" Yang Qing nodded noncommittally, what he remembered at this time was a common assassin weapon in later movies-sniper rifles! Of course, there is no such horror thing in the world now, but ......
"What if the assassin uses poisoned crossbow arrows?" Yang Qing suddenly asked in a daze.
