Chapter Thirty-Eight: Infiltrating Zhongzhou City
"Hahaha, there's a reward! But...... You're going to have to change your name from now on. Zhao Yang said with a smile.
"Thank you, master!" The subordinate was also clever and immediately understood.
"Hahahahaha......"
In Zhao Fuzhong, Zhao Yang's happy laughter was endless.
Outside Zhao's mansion, Zhao Fu was still thinking about countermeasures.
The news from Mustard City also reached Zhao Fu's ears, although the defeat in Mustard City was also part of his plan, but it still stimulated Zhao Fu and made him feel the urgency of time.
It was already night, and although the city gate of Zhongzhou City had been closed, it still did not feel a trace of tension, and even the defenders in charge of the night vigil were mostly dozing off against the city wall as usual.
At this time, a dark figure suddenly flew by the side of the city wall, and they quickly climbed up the city wall from the city, and then followed the rope that was fixed on the city wall before, and successfully climbed out of the wall.
In a short period of time, a total of several figures came out of the wall from different sections of the wall, but none of them were found, and it has to be said that the defenders of Zhongzhou City were very lazy.
"How's the news going?" Zhao Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that several soldiers of the Iron Arm Army who had slipped into Zhongzhou City in disguise before to inquire about the news had returned safely.
"Good news." One soldier said after taking off his night clothes.
"The defenders of Zhongzhou City are even more unbearable than we imagined, many important sections of the city are not even guarded, and we can easily enter the city from those places."
After that, several other soldiers nodded, and it was from these sections of the city that they climbed over the wall, and were not discovered by the defenders of Zhongzhou City at all.
Soon, a map of Zhongzhou City, which had been processed by several soldiers who had spied out for information, appeared in front of Zhao Fu, and a large section of the city wall that was unguarded and weakly garrisoned was marked one by one.
"How is the Zhao Mansion over there, is it the same?" Zhao Fu asked.
"The situation is similar, but the defense of the Zhao Mansion is tighter than that of Zhongzhou City, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to sneak in secretly, but as long as you take it by surprise, the possibility of attacking the Zhao Mansion is still very high." A soldier in charge of investigating the intelligence of the Zhao Mansion replied.
Zhao Fu nodded, after all, the Zhao Mansion is equivalent to the existence of the palace of the Zhao Kingdom, and the area is not as large as Zhongzhou City, so there is no need to disperse a large number of troops, and it is reasonable to be well prepared.
"There is also good news, I met General Long, he promised us that as long as Zhongzhou City is in chaos, he can immediately raise troops to echo us, and tonight General Long's garrison happened to be transferred to the outside of Zhao's mansion because of the usual change of guard." Another soldier said.
"So...... Gather the whole army and attack Zhongzhou City tonight! When Zhao Fu heard this, he immediately made up his mind.
Regardless of whether Long Shouyi, the wall-head grass, will eventually raise troops to support him, Zhao Fu will make such a decision, no matter how you look at it, it is the best time, and Zheng Yuan has no more time to fight for him to wait for the next perfect opportunity.
"Night raid? It's a little exciting to think about. Although I have to climb the wall when I go back to my house, it always feels weird. After Zhao Qian learned the news, he was also assigned to the team led by Zhao Fu to infiltrate the city.
"Follow me and try to make as little noise as possible." Zhao Fu reminded that he didn't want this operation to fail.
"Understood, teacher." Zhao Qian looked at the equipment he received in his hand with some novelty.
Soon, the entire Iron Arm army assembled at the unguarded city wall marked on the map, and they divided into five squads to infiltrate from five different sections of the wall.
There are ropes left behind by the reconnaissance soldiers who climbed over the wall before, but this is not the basis for the Iron Arm to sneak in.
Soon, all kinds of hooks and claws wrapped in silencing cotton at the tips were thrown onto the wall of Zhongzhou City, and after being effectively fixed, the soldiers of the Iron Arm Army pulled the rope and climbed up, and at the same time took out several T-shaped iron troughs and stuck them into the rock cracks of the city wall of Zhongzhou City.
This T-shaped iron trough was originally one of the nocturnal equipment often used by the Night Wolf Army, but it was later stolen by the Halberd and turned into the standing equipment of the Iron Arm Army, as they could perfectly clip into the rock crevices of the city wall. You must know that even if there is a rope pulling, it is not easy to climb the nearly vertical wall of Zhongzhou City, which is several stories high. Even if the Iron Arm Army has undergone special training, it is inevitable that they will lose a lot of physical strength in this link, but with these iron troughs that can be used to borrow strength, it is different. When climbing the city wall, more force will be absorbed by the T-shaped iron groove firmly stuck in the city wall, which can greatly reduce the physical strength and time consumption of the Iron Arm Army.
In the middle of the night, the soldiers of the Iron Arm Army dressed in night clothes outside completed their landing in batches in a very short time.
The dozing defenders not far away had already wiped their throats by the soldiers of the Iron Arm Army who were the first to enter the city, and they did not make a sound of warning at all.
Just after Zhao Fu and the others successfully entered Zhongzhou City, suddenly there was a huge sound from the Zhao Mansion in the east of the city, and the fire reflected in the sky, and for a time a large number of defenders in the city began to assemble in the east of the city. And the sound of the east of the city also broke the original tranquility of Zhongzhou City.
Fortunately, Zhao Fu and the others successfully hid in an uninhabited courtyard - this is also important information provided by Zhao Qian.
"Not for us." Zhao Fu breathed a sigh of relief, he also thought that the secret infiltration of the Iron Arm Army had been discovered.
"This brother, what happened in the east of the city?" Zhao Fu spotted a soldier and pulled him directly into an alley on the side and asked.
"Hey, it is said that the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry rebelled, and now everyone is gathering to the Zhao Mansion, and you are also ...... Who are you! Before the soldier finished speaking, he found that Zhao Fu and his party were dressed completely differently from the defenders in Zhongzhou City, and hurriedly became vigilant.
But his vigilance was useless, Zhao Fu had already obtained the information he needed most, and with a knife knocked the wronged man unconscious, dragged him to the yard and threw it aside.
Long Shouyi jumped back so quickly? Zhao Fu was a little puzzled, he didn't think that Long Shouyi would be the kind of person who would take the initiative to attract enemy firepower, and Long Shouyi definitely didn't expect Zhao Fu to sneak into Zhongzhou City so quickly.
But it doesn't matter, the chaos in the east of the city doesn't seem to be fake, this is the opportunity.
God help me, now Zhao Fu can only come up with these four words in his heart, although he doesn't know why Long Shouyi suddenly rebelled, and he is not even sure if the person who rebelled is Long Shouyi, but it doesn't matter. What Zhao Fu wants is this chaotic situation - a Zhao Mansion that is waiting for battle, or a Zhao Mansion with many chaotic people, which one is better to break through, it goes without saying.
