Chapter 12: Infiltrating the Tiger Prison
Tiger Prison Pass, also known as Tiger Pass, Wu Prison Pass, Chenggao Pass, Gu Kun Pass, Bishui Pass, is located in the northwest of Xingyang, because it is rumored that King Mu of Zhou once put the fierce tiger in captivity here and the name Tiger Prison. The Tiger Prison Pass is connected to Songyue in the south, and is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, with mountains and mountains staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a lot of husband when the pass, and the trend of ten thousand people is not open, and it is a place where soldiers of all generations must fight.
At this time, the tiger prison was closed, and the soldiers with armor held long lances and horizontal knives, patrolling back and forth on the city wall. At the battlements of the city wall, the crossbows of the beds were hideous, and the arrows with the thickness of the arms were like axe-like arrows flashing with cold light. Huge stone cannons lined up behind the women's wall.
A young gold-armored general stood at the head of the city, looking to the east. There was smoke and dust, and the murderous atmosphere seemed to rush into the sky.
"The world's strong soldiers are out of the Zhao Dynasty! Dou Jiande's Hebei strong army really lives up to its name! The golden armor general tightened the lance in his hand, "Come on, fight with this king for a while!" ”
"Whoa!" Several generals standing beside him clasped their fists in unison.
In the middle of the night of 25 March, the reconnaissance battalion, which had traveled in a hurry, came to a distance of 40 miles from the Tiger Prison Pass.
As soon as the exhausted soldiers heard Zhang Yunwen's order to rest temporarily, they immediately collapsed on the ground without an image. Logs gurgled and rolled to the ground.
"Get up, get up! Hurry up, you guys! Didn't I tell you many times that after strenuous exercise, you have to move slowly, and don't let me off all at once! As he spoke, he picked up his sword and struck the soldier lying on the ground with the scabbard attached.
"Ouch!" The soldiers screamed. The already tired muscles were even more painful under Zhang Yunwen's whipping. The soldiers jumped up one after another and walked slowly according to the method that Zhang Yunwen had originally taught.
When the soldiers were almost rested, Zhang Yunwen put his hands behind his back and opened his feet, with a serious expression.
As soon as they saw this posture, the soldiers quickly lined up and gathered, not daring to slack off.
"Brothers, there are still forty miles to go to the Tiger Prison Pass, how do you say we will enter the Pass?"
As soon as Zhang Yunwen said this, the soldier suddenly wondered.
"How do I get in? Walk in! ”
"That's it, can't you climb in!"
"Who said that the leader must have made a lot of sense to ask such a question. Well, it's our leader! ”
"His grandmother's, you kid can only shoot horses, can't you say something else? For example, the leader loves his subordinates so much, maybe he will call a carriage to pull us in! ”
……
Hearing the following words, Zhang Yunwen suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. He coughed lightly twice, and there was a sudden silence below.
At the beginning of the camp, Zhang Yunwen told the soldiers that the soldiers in the camp are all brothers, including himself, and in addition to training, no matter how joking is allowed, and when it comes to training and going to the battlefield, he must absolutely obey his command, and there must be no second voice. This, when training, did quite well.
"Now announce your results!" Zhang Yunwen began to train and assess as early as when he first left the barracks, and what satisfied him was that these soldiers were worthy of being fierce and healthy soldiers, and their physical fitness was extremely strong, and they had rich experience in facing the enemy, and they quickly mastered physical training and silent killing. As for subjects such as silent stealth, the results are uneven, those who have been rangers are agile, and their training in lurking and climbing has always been among the best, while those who fight immediately and have a lot of strength are much weaker in these aspects, but the stronger ones are one-on-one frontal hand-to-hand combat training.
"Li Yang, Jia You; Zhao Yi, Jia Liang; Zou Qiu, Jia Liang; Yuan Sugong, Jialiang ......"
Starting from the beginning of each squad, Zhang Yunwen recited the results one by one. The ten teams are not bad, except for Chen Quankang, who won a second class, the rest are in the first division. And the remaining 90 people, most of them are Class B, and there are only a few people in Class C.
This scoring method was formulated by Zhang Yunwen by comprehensively considering the existing evaluation system and the score system of later generations. The whole evaluation system is divided into four levels, A, B, C, D, and each level has two excellent levels, that is, the whole system is divided into eight levels. Pretty much all the soldiers.
After reciting the results, Zhang Yunwen swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and moistened his somewhat dry throat: "Okay!" Now announce the last assessment: the whole battalion is team-based, led by the team, and before dawn, secretly infiltrate the Tiger Prison! Whatever you do, just sneak into the Tiger Prison. However, if anyone is discovered, the results will be deducted by one order, and the food treatment will be reduced by one level! And I'm not going to get people right away, so I'll keep him in the Tiger Prison until the end of the battle. ”
After saying that, he added: "You can't hurt your allies!" Hehe, at most, you're allowed to knock it out! ”
All the soldiers burst into laughter.
Zhang Yunwen lifted the leaky pot, looked at the scale of the dripping water inside, and said: "This place is still forty miles away from the Tiger Prison!" For forty miles, you don't have to carry this thing to run! But within forty miles, you have to figure out how to sneak into the Tiger Prison! Well, I don't want to see too many repetitions! Oh, by the way, the first team to enter the customs can get an additional food subsidy, just use the food fee of the last team to enter the customs! ”
A group of soldiers immediately looked at each other. Don't see too many repetitive methods...... The implication is to let these ten teams take different methods to infiltrate the Tiger Prison! But where did so many ways come from!
No matter how hard the soldiers behind him thought, Zhang Yunwen said: "I'll wait for you in the Tiger Prison!" After that, it quickly disappeared into the night.
The ten teams are looking at me, I look at you, and they all yelled: "Let's go!" ”
So, the hundreds of soldiers who had just rested for a short time ran together and ran along this official road to the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Knock-knock!" The sound of beating reverberates over the walls of the Tiger Prison.
It's now the fifth watch. According to later generations, it was three o'clock in the morning. However, the city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass was brightly lit, and a pair of soldiers seemed to be tirelessly patrolling back and forth, and from time to time they glanced up outside the city wall, for fear that someone would attack the city at night.
Zhang Yunwen was sitting in the big tent of the Tiger Prison Pass military camp at this time, facing Li Shimin with a tired face.
There are still blood stains on Li Shimin's body, and there are several deep marks on the golden armor next to him. It was left behind in the afternoon when he personally commanded 500 cavalry and attacked with several generals, and encountered the Xia army rangers. However, in the first battle in the afternoon, the results were brilliant, more than 300 beheaded, and the generals of the Xia army Yin Qiu and Shi Zan were captured alive.
"Are you sure your soldiers can sneak in silently?" Li Shimin listened to Zhang Yunwen's words, and couldn't help but ask with some suspicion.
Zhang Yunwen was silent for a moment, and nodded with some uncertainty: "Although you can't enter the customs, it's good to be able to get half of the people in!" ”
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, if this soldier could really sneak into the city as silently as Zhang Yunwen said, then when attacking the city and plundering the land in the future, as long as these soldiers were allowed to sneak into the city, open the city gate, and the army would enter, the city would change hands.
"Good! We're waiting for news from your soldiers! Li Shimin said excitedly.
"Not my soldiers, Your Highness! It's your soldier! Zhang Yunwen corrected, and after speaking, he looked at Li Shimin and laughed.
A section of the dark city wall, there are not many bonfires nearby, only two, but it has to illuminate the wall of nearly 100 meters. At one end of the middle, it was pitch black.
Suddenly, dozens of flying claws were thrown at the head of the city, and then the iron claws slid outward, hooking the bricks at the battlement. The ropes on the iron claws suddenly straightened. Looking out, figures were climbing up the ropes.
Ten figures leaped up the city wall with great agility, and when they saw that there was no one around, they hooked their flying claws to the other end of the wall, followed the rope, and slid down the wall.
At the same time, the soldiers guarding the gate of the Tiger Prison heard the sound of horses' hooves. Then the sound of horses' hooves stopped, and a sharp voice sounded: "The guards of the Tiger Prison Pass heard that the He family is the chief supervisor of the inner prison beside the saint, and they have been ordered to come to comfort the soldiers!" You can't open the door yet! ”
"Please submit the token for verification!" As he spoke, the guard dropped a bamboo basket. When pulled up again, a golden token is placed in a bamboo basket.
The guard inspected: "Open the door!" ”
On the mountain peak next to the Tiger Prison Pass, ten people clearly saw the brilliant lights in the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Well, team, can this kite really fly into the city?"
"I haven't tried it either! It's from the boss! ”
"What if I fall?"
"It's okay, isn't there a parachute that the leader said!" The man raised the umbrella in his hand.
"Oh, then rest assured!"
As a result, dozens of large kites flew towards the brightly lit Tiger Prison.
"Huh, team?"
"What's the matter?"
"We didn't dig into it!"
"Don't worry, when Lao Tzu was roaming the rivers and lakes, I was a captain for a while, and such a trivial matter as digging a tunnel was not difficult for me!"
"The team is really good!"
"Of course!"
