Chapter Forty-Seven: Infiltrating Dingzhou

Zhang Yunwen, who had left the big tent, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion rested in the camp for a day, replenished supplies, and fed the horses to their heart's content, and finally left the Texas camp on the morning of the third day.

Heading to the northwest, you can see war-torn villages with wisps of smoke burning from the ruins. Occasionally, I met people who had fled, and they were all looking south.

After galloping for a day, Zhang Yunwen came to the Dasha River, which is not far from Dingzhou.

I saw that the river was meandering, and the banks were lush and green. Covered with sweat, Zhang Yunwen suddenly had the urge to swim in the water. So he let ten people ride horses and cruise nearby, and he unceremoniously took off his whole body armor and slowly entered the water.

When the soldiers saw this, they also smiled "hehe", and all jumped into the river to wash away their exhaustion.

The sweaty horses also shook their heads and came to the river, chewed the grass, and drank the water.

Washing away the sweat and exhaustion, Zhang Yunwen and the others were putting on their clothes and armor, when they heard the hooves of the horses, and the ten cavalry patrolling and cruising returned.

However, when the ten horsemen returned, they were not ten, but seventeen. I saw a person resting on the body of each of the seven knights. In the end, the three men carried seven horses.

"Boss, you've captured seven scouts, you can do it!"

Zhang Yunwen couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Don't you know that you want me to do it yourself?" ”

"Hey, hey". The soldiers laughed a little.

Seven scouts were thrown to the ground. The Jiao boss laughed cruelly: "This kind of thing, Lao Tzu is the best!" ”

As he spoke, he directly took out a dagger and gently wiped it over a person's neck.

"Now I'm going to ask you, if anyone answers, don't kill him, if he doesn't, cut off his hands and feet, answer late, and 'click'!" As he spoke, he made a downward slashing gesture.

The six scouts suddenly cowered together and nodded in unison.

"Good, not bad. First, how many people are there in Dingzhou City? ”

The six people glanced at each other and said in unison, "Fifty thousand!" ”

However, Zhang Yunwen frowned. He walked up to a scout, pulled out a three-edged thorn, inserted it lightly in him, and then focused on Lao Dao: "Separate these people and ask them, and then confirm each other, if they are different, just cut off their hands and feet and throw them in the river!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those scouts suddenly changed greatly.

Five reconnaissance battalion soldiers dragged the scouts to one place for questioning, and for about three quarters of an hour, only a scream was heard. The scouts have been killed.

"Boss, there are 10,000 troops in Dingzhou City now, and Liu Heimin went out with 30,000 troops to attack other states and counties. Now sitting in Dingzhou is his brother Liu Shishan. Boss Jiao summarized the information he had obtained and said to Zhang Yunwen.

"10,000 people guarding Dingzhou......" Zhang Yunwen frowned and pondered for a while, and slapped the horsewhip in his hand, "Don't worry about it for now, and then make plans after sneaking into Dingzhou!" ”

So a group of people got on their horses again and walked in the direction of Dingzhou.

Due to its proximity to Dingzhou, the number of scouts along the route increased dramatically. Zhang Yunwen and his soldiers were also more cautious, and they must not let the scouts discover their own cavalry. As a result, all the scouts they met were killed. Even if he ran away on horseback, he was shot off the horse by Ma Wangshan and Wu Peng's four-stone big bow.

When I arrived outside Dingzhou City, it was already Hai Shi, almost past nine o'clock.

Dismount three miles outside Dingzhou City, everyone took their equipment and walked to Dingzhou City.

However, to Zhang Yunwen's regret, the moonlight tonight was excellent. The moon hung brightly in the sky for most of the plate, sprinkling a bright glow. In such moonlight, the shadow of a person can almost be seen.

Quietly touching the root of the city wall, the group of people pressed their backs against the city wall, looking up at the city.

At the top of the city, braziers were blazing, and the flames inside were flying in all directions with the fierce wind. Columns of soldiers with swords shuttled back and forth above the city. Occasionally, I would poke my head out to look outside.

Zhang Yunwen looked at the uneven wall and tried hard, and he could fully withstand his own strength.

At the moment, he motioned for the soldier to wait here, and he felt the depression and protrusion of the wall, and slowly climbed up. Because he was wearing a black suit and armor, Zhang Yunwen found a shadow wall. Here is exactly a corner where the moonlight shines from one side, creating a shadow in this corner.

Climb up slowly, trying not to make any noise. When encountering a place where it is difficult to borrow force, use a dagger to gently insert it into the brick joint, and borrow force upward.

Finally, we reached the top of the city. A patrol squad of sergeants happened to pass by.

Invisible shadows, staring like snakes at the last soldier. Finally, the soldiers at the end of the team had just passed, and Zhang Yunwen landed on the top of the city with a force on his legs.

The sergeant at the end of the line had just felt a gust of wind and was about to turn around to check when a strong hand covered his mouth while the other crushed his Adam's apple. Zhang Yunwen didn't use a knife, he was afraid that the smell of blood would attract attention.

Silently dragged the corpse under the brazier, where there was a dark shadow, and at a cursory glance, it was difficult to see the corpse. Then he followed the patrol like a patrolling soldier, and even the pace was the same as the one in front of him, making people think that this was the same patrol as before.

Then, he carefully killed the person in front of him in the same way.

In this way, a patrol of ten men was completely wiped out by him in a quarter of an hour.

After Zhang Yunwen killed this patrol, he estimated that there would be no more patrols passing here in five minutes. Then he untied his belt, wrapped one of his flying claws, hooked it to the wall, and threw the rope down the wall.

A moment later, dozens of claws were gently thrown against the wall, the rope straightening.

It only took three minutes, and more than 60 people came up.

Zhang Yunwen looked at the ten corpses on the ground. If it is not easy to clean up, I am afraid that it will immediately attract a siege.

Ten soldiers were ordered to put on the armor of Liu Heimin's army, take up their weapons, and patrol the city. The rest of the people used their claws to hang outside the city.

As soon as this was done, another patrol group of soldiers came over yawning. After all, it was already eleven o'clock, and the patrol officers were a little sleepy.

However, the pair had barely reached the end of the city, when ten figures pounced on them like eagles.

There was no sound, and the whole army was wiped out.

Others put on the armor of these soldiers, and pretended to be patrolling.

"Well, you will lurk here. Thinking about Liu Heimin, the new sergeant, where can these soldiers tell whether they are Liu Heimin's personal soldiers or local soldiers. As long as you are in a group, you are not afraid of being recognized! Zhang Yunwen said to Liu Cheng who stayed here.

Liu Cheng nodded and pretended to patrol. Looking at that serious look, it seems that it is really Liu Heimin's soldier.

The remaining forty or so people, holding the corpses on the ground, slowly slid into the city with their flying claws.

Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Yunwen and others stuffed the corpses into an abandoned house in a mess, and then quickly disappeared into Dingzhou City.

(I'm a little strange, wasn't it less than half yesterday, and the number of flowers only rose so much?) But I hope you understand, I'm writing a proposal report, and I will spend less time on this! )
