The night came, slowly shrouded in the sky over Tianjin City, Tianjin City became even more weird, except for some yamen and military camps with bright lights, only the patrolling soldiers carried lanterns, were inspecting everywhere, of course, there were four city gates, very bright.

However, compared to the dark Tianjin City, the light in these places is like the light of fireflies, and it seems too small, insignificant, and nothing! As soon as it was dark, the people of the whole city entered an extremely quiet state, quietly, and there was a faint hint of anticipation.

Gradually, the stars crawled across the night sky, twinkling with a faint light, and the bright moon appeared, slowly rising, and the two complemented each other.

I don't know when it was night, on the south gate of Tianjin City, suddenly, a rope fell straight down, and then, a figure appeared on the city wall, slid down the rope, the action was fast and neat, in the blink of an eye, it came to the ground, nervously looked around, and then, sneaked along the city wall to both sides, tiptoeing, the pace was extremely light, and soon, these black shadows disappeared into the darkness, no one noticed.

At the same time, in the camp of the Qilin Army, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Yang Lin and everyone gathered once, standing in front of the map of Tianjin City, at this moment, a general stood up and asked respectfully: "Marshal, it has already been the time of the child, it is almost the time of ugliness, when will we act?" ”

As soon as these words came out, I asked the voices of all the generals, who had been waiting in the camp for too much time, and they were about to wear out everyone's patience and fighting spirit, and they were looking forward to it.

However, Yang Lin did not answer immediately, but stared at the outside, the moon that was as bright as day, and said in a deep voice: "Wait, now is not the time to act." ”

How can a short sentence calm everyone's restless hearts? Seeming to feel the impatience of everyone, Yang Lin further explained: "If you act now, it will be equivalent to exposing the airship to broad daylight, and it will be easily discovered by the city defense camp of the Qing court. ”

Whether it was taken by Yang Lin's might or felt that this was reasonable, as soon as the words fell, everyone quieted down and did not have to act.

Suddenly, the big tent was quiet again, and soon after, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent, and soon, a regimental commander walked in, and without waiting for everyone to ask, he immediately said: "Report to the marshal, there are dozens of surrendered soldiers on the opposite side, and the subordinates are worried that these people are surrendering fraudulently, so I have come to report it, how should these people be handled?" ”

The reaction of the surrounding people was very calm, and Yang Lin also disagreed, after all, along the way, he had experienced too many similar things, and he had become accustomed to it, and he was not surprised, and he barely thought about it, Yang Lin blurted out: "As usual, first detain them, and after attacking Tianjin City, if those people are still honest, they will be taken into custody or released." ”

"Yes, Marshal, I'll arrange it."

The regiment commander said yes, and was about to step out, when a hurried voice suddenly sounded: "Wait a minute! ”

At this time, after Bailihe stopped the regiment commander from leaving, he came to Yang Lin and said softly: "Marshal Qiyu, I feel that from these surrendered soldiers, maybe we can do something, if things go well, maybe we will be able to act immediately, and we will soon be able to take Tianjin City." ”

The words startled the four seats, and immediately aroused everyone's ideas, and Yang Lin even asked: "Oh, Mr. Baili, what is your consciousness...?" ”

Bailihe smiled slightly, seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, especially the crystal light flashing in his eyes, he knew that many generals were very anxious, now is not the time to sell Guanzi, as soon as Yang Lin's words ended, he immediately said: "It's very simple, marshal, since these surrendered soldiers are from the opposite side, then, they must be the soldiers on the city wall, the people on duty, and they must not have slipped out of the gate." ”

Speaking of this, there may be some people who didn't react, but Yang Lin completely understood the meaning of Baili River, and was instantly enlightened, and then said: "In this way, so many defenders of the city will escape, and there will inevitably be a gap in the defense on the city wall, and there will be ropes hanging there, and our people can climb the city wall along the ropes and seize control of the south gate." ”

"Yes, Marshal, that's exactly what I mean." Bailihe echoed and nodded slightly.

However, at this time, without waiting for everyone to be happy, an opposing voice suddenly sounded: "Marshal, no, this matter is to be discussed, if those people are fraudulent and deliberately want to lure us into the bait, if the Qing soldiers have been ambushed on the city wall, we will suffer heavy losses!" ”

Although this statement is pouring cold water and questioning Yang Lin's judgment, however, it is a big truth, telling the danger contained in it, and it is impossible for everyone not to think deeply, and for Yang Lin to stop thinking twice and be cautious.

However, if those people really came to surrender, then this was a godsend, and there was no delay, after all, no one dared to guarantee that during this interval, there would be no city defense battalion commander who would suddenly inspect the city walls.

Opportunity, most likely, is fleeting.

For a moment, everyone hesitated, and even Yang Lin couldn't make up his mind. This is a big gamble, although no matter whether he wins or loses, Yang Lin can take Tianjin City, but it involves the casualty rate of the troops.

"Marshal, my subordinates have an idea that can improve your plan, no matter whether those soldiers really come to vote or not, it will not affect our actions, and the casualties will not be too large." The commander of the airship unit stood up and spoke.

As a special branch of the army, the only air force, even if this person is only a regiment commander and only has the rank of lieutenant colonel, his status is unquestionable, and even Yang Lin will not easily ignore what he says.

"Oh... What's the idea? Yang Lin's frowning brows stretched slightly.

"Report to the marshal, since it is impossible to judge whether those people are really coming to vote, then, let them participate in tonight's operation, lead the way in front of the head, and shoot them immediately if there is any abnormal behavior."

Some people were nodding, and some people were shaking their heads, not very agreeing, however, the commander of the airship unit didn't seem to see everyone's reaction, and after a pause in his words, he continued: "At the same time, our airship troops also took action, flew into the air, and judged the situation at the south gate of Tianjin City from the air. ”

"After all, no matter what, our airship unit has just been put into use, and no one knows about their existence yet, no matter what the case is, no one on the side of the city defense camp will notice the threat from the sky."

Yang Lin nodded, agreed with the words of the commander of the airship force, and then ordered: "The airship force moves immediately, rises into the air, and goes to Tianjin City." At the same time, the independent regiment carried out camouflage, disguised itself as Qing soldiers, coerced those who surrendered, climbed the city wall, and controlled the south gate of Tianjin, and the two were synchronized and cooperated with each other. ”

"The artillery battalion is ready, once the independent regiment loses and there is a sudden change on the city wall, immediately bomb me indiscriminately to cover the movement of the airship troops."

"The other troops are ready, once the city gate is opened, immediately start a charge, attack the city, and take Tianjin City!"

"Yes, marshal, promise to complete the mission!" Many generals said in unison.
