Chapter 64: Silence is better than sound
Goxing Aben thought that his current ability was similar to that of his ultra-low-level special forces, but unfortunately these were completely wishful thinking on his own. Although he also participated in the training of special forces, and it was a martial art taught by Mu Shun one-on-one, the special forces were accumulated by a little bit of training, and Guo Xing'a, who fished for three days and dried nets for two days, obviously did not have this kind of accumulation. Naturally, the situation was much worse than Goxinga originally expected, and although Goxinga, who swam across the moat and touched the city, he had not yet fallen behind, but his pants had become beggar's clothes.
Goxinga has never understood why the ancients lit lamps at the top of the city, but there was no light underneath the city. As a result, Guo Xing'a can clearly see the situation at the head of the city, but the people at the head of the city can't see Guo Xing'a and the others at all. In fact, the reason is very simple, there was no * in ancient times, of course, there is no fear of exposing the target, and the focus of the defense is the head of the city. In the era of cold weapons, even if you are allowed to touch the city, you can't take the city wall if you don't attack the city. Whether you're climbing the city with a ladder or with your bare hands, your final destination is the brightly lit city, and you'll find you as soon as you climb up, without having to light it down. And in this era, there is no concept of special operations, and if you touch the city wall with thirty or fifty people, you will come to find death by yourself.
He waited a little longer, making sure that the paddling did not attract the attention of the city. Guo Xing'a began to use sign language to gesture in the direction of Changlu, signaling the special operations team to climb the city, but Changlu's side did not react at all. It's not that Changlu has different ideas to disobey on the battlefield, but in an environment where there is only moonlight, Changlu ten meters away can't see Guoxinga at all, let alone Guoxing's ghost-like sign language. Guo Xing'a, who can't give orders quickly, can only pass orders to Changlu one by one.
After receiving the order to attack, a squad of special operations squad fighters quickly stuck to the city wall, climbed the city wall like centipedes and built two groups of human ladders. Changlu personally led another squad of soldiers, stepped on the shoulders of his comrades and quietly climbed up to the top of the city, and then quickly hid in the dark shadows of the lights. After seeing clearly that there were only a dozen Taiping soldiers on night duty at the head of the city, Changlu began to assign tasks one-on-one to ensure that none of the Taiping soldiers failed.
Around four o'clock in the morning is the time when people are most sleepy, and the Taiping army on night duty at the head of the city is already drowsy, and they do not notice that the deadly killer is hidden in the dark shadow of the lights. A soldier of the Taiping Army, who was dozing off in the city tower, suddenly saw a black figure holding a snowy dagger in his hand, approaching his companion from behind. He hurriedly looked closely, and sure enough, he found the enemy, but the throat that he wanted to cry out just now had been cut by the blade sticking out from his back. He couldn't scream anymore when he fell to the ground, except for a slight "ho, ho" sound coming from his disconnected throat. Before he could become unconscious, he saw the bright dagger in the shadow's hand, stabbing his companion in the heart from behind.
Changlu led people to continue to search and advance, Xiao Nanjing can already be regarded as the hinterland of the Taiping army's occupied area, and there is no war warning, and there are not too many Taiping troops in the city. When Guo Xing'a also climbed to the top of the city, there were only about 30 cold corpses of the Taiping army on the wall of the first urn city. The walls of the urn city are connected to the main body of the castle, saving you the trouble of climbing the walls again. Fuquan and Changlu each took a squad of men and advanced along the city wall from the two wings towards the real city gate.
There were more than 50 Taiping guards near the main city gate, but unfortunately they were on the second line, only three or five people were left to watch the night, and the others were all asleep soundly in the city tower. The lights of the main city tower were much more than the urn city outside, and the city tower was as bright as day, and Fuquan and Changlu could no longer get close with the help of the shadows.
After communicating with sign language for a while from a distance of more than ten meters, the people led by Fuquan lay on the ground and began to crawl forward under the cover of the female wall, while Changlu's department took out crossbow arrows. In order to conceal the operation, the special operations team was equipped with a special * at the beginning, but it was not needed in the past for open operations, and this night attack was the time when the crossbow arrows showed their might. In order to reduce the sound of the bowstring when fired and to make it easy to carry, Guo Xing'a did not use the Zhuge repeater, but used a single-shot *, and the tension of the bowstring was also reduced a lot. But a close range of less than 50 meters is still enough to shoot through the human body.
Changlu's subordinates, who had developed from sharpshooters, aimed very carefully for a long time. Because not only do they have to kill the enemy, but they also have to ensure that they kill with one blow, and they can't give him a chance to make any noise. The heart is easy to aim but not guaranteed instant death, and the head is protected by a helmet, so they must shoot through the target's throat with a single shot. Even they who have always been proud of their comrades with precision must be cautious.
There was still a slight noise, and while it was still a little harsh in the stillness of the night, it wasn't enough to wake people from their sleep. Changlu's troops pulled the trigger almost at the same time, so when the still conscious Taiping heard the sound of the bowstring, the sharp arrow had already been inserted into their throats. Their collapsed bodies were steadily caught by Fuquan and others who crawled to their feet. Without making any sound that would alarm others, the corpse was gently placed next to the female wall where they had just stood.
The next battle, for the special operations squad and the guard squad, can be described as light. Gently walked to the edge of the bed, took a head into his arms, covered his mouth and nose with his left hand, and then quickly cut his throat with the dagger in his right hand. It was like walking, a mechanical and repetitive action, and then more than fifty Taiping soldiers slept forever in their sleep.
Of course, not everyone slept for a long time, the commander of the Taiping army was captured alive, and the special operations team could only see the general situation of the city on the hillside, and did not know anything about the situation in the city, so Guo Xing'a needed a tongue that knew more. This commander is very recognizable, although the Taiping Army has not yet figured out the rank to make people identify that it is an officer. But all the Taiping soldiers slept on the ground, only he used the bookcase as a high bed, he was not an officer, who was. When killing, the special operations team is one-on-one service, and the special operations team that captures the pawn commander alive uses a total of six people. One stood behind his head with a cotton cloth to gag his mouth, one holding his chin, and one on each of the other limbs. After a slight thud, the Taiping commander had his limbs and chin removed, and his mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, so he could no longer make a sound.
After Guo Xing'a took over the tongue and began the interrogation, Fuquan and Changlu continued to advance towards the inner urn city with the original team. However, the battle in Neiweng City was simpler, and the Taiping army did not even have a single person standing guard, and everyone fell asleep like dead pigs. The mechanical and repetitive action was staged again, and only the chief of the three gates was left alive.
The commander explained the time of the patrol, the manpower, the checkpoints in the city, the important places and the location of the center very thoroughly, but Guo Xing'a could not leave hidden dangers behind him. After the blade was crossed, the defenders of the three city passes, which the Taiping army was proud of in small Nanjing, finally lost all their lives.
Changlu, who thought that everything was fine, almost ordered the city gate to be opened, but Guoxinga finally reflected his value. After the special operations team went down to the city to search, they found a different number of defenders in the doorways of the three city gates, which scared Changlu into a cold sweat. However, the sleeping defenders only repeated the story of their companions at the head of the city. The guard squad also followed the confession of the commander and found two hidden caves in the urn city. However, in the Tibetan soldier cave that can accommodate 100 people, there are only a dozen Taiping soldiers sleeping in the corner, and it is extremely easy to kill them all.
But when he cleared the last cave, Fuquan was almost scared to death by the eyes in front of him and his eyes. Although there were only five Taiping soldiers in the cave, they did not sleep, and they saw everything outside. These five young soldiers, who were only in their teens, had been frightened by the ghostly Qing army. They trembled like chaff, their hands clutched to their mouths, tears streaming from their eyes, and their hands falling on the plackets of their clothes. Fu Quan really couldn't bear to kill these enemies who didn't even have the courage to call for help, but before Fu Quan could give instructions, the soldiers behind had already run quickly. He pressed the teenagers' hand over their mouths to death, and stabbed them in the heart.
It's not like killing someone, it's more like practicing against a target. The slain teenagers did not resist, dodge, or even make any noise from beginning to end. They crouched there like dolls, motionless until the blade stabbed into their bodies. In the end, with extremely frightened eyes and despair from the bottom of his heart, he slowly fell to the ground. In order to train the guard class, Goxinga not only gave them extremely intense training, but also tried every means to make them kill people and use the blood of the living to exercise their hearts. As the squad leader, Fu Quan is the best in the training of the guard class, and he has killed people more than once, but this time Fu Quan felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.
There was not much time left for Fuquan to be uncomfortable, and Guo Xing'a also went down to the city. He did not order the gates to be opened, but ordered the three gates to be buried.* The special operations team and the guard squad came in with a lot of iron sealed barrels, thinking that Guoxinga wanted to blow up the arsenal of the Taiping Army, but they didn't expect that Guoxinga's real purpose was to blow up the city gate.
Opening the city gate too early is likely to be discovered by the Taiping army, but Guo Xing'a can't leave too many people to occupy the city gate, the only way is to leave only a small number of people, but to be able to open the city gate quickly. *Blasting is nothing less than a good option, burying it*, leaving one or two people to guard it is enough. When Goxinga gave the signal, if he was unable to open the city gate, he would just blow it up. The barrels that came in and the Taiping army hoarded at the head of the city were enough to blow the huge city gate to pieces.
When Guo Xing'a pointed to the city gate and clenched his fists, Zhang Yi pointed at himself and a few like-minded buddies. Leaving to guard the city gate is more dangerous than following Guoxinga into the city, after all, there are many people entering the city, even if there is a case, there is still the possibility of breaking through, and once you stay, you will die. Moreover, everyone can see the exploits of entering the city to fight, but although the risk of staying is huge, there are almost no unspeakable exploits to speak of. After all, if the plan is successful, when others fight, you are a gatekeeper, and there is nothing to talk about there.
Guo Xing'a tapped Zhang Yi's chest with his hand, Zhang Yi nodded, and gave Guo Xing'a a thumbs up. Guo Xing'a nodded, also gave Zhang Yi a thumbs up, and then waved to everyone and continued to advance towards the city.
After Zhang Yi and the others watched Guoxing'a and the others walk away, they gathered together and assigned the defensive position and the things that ignited the fire, and then held their hands tightly together.
After a solemn eye contact, several people quickly rushed to their posts, wiped the sweat from their faces, and then quietly hid in the shadows under the city walls.
