At a quarter past six in the morning, Dao Feng and his group of fifteen people came to the northeast of Guigang. There are two important military places of the Qing army here, one is Pingnan County in the northeast, and the other is Guiping County in the southwest of Pingnan County.

Pingnan County is one of the locations where the Qing court suppressed the grain depot and military supplies of the Guangxi peasant rebel army. Here for the use of Yulin, Wuzhou, Guigang, Laibin and other places garrison logistics materials. There are 2,000 Qing soldiers stationed in Pingnan County.

Guiping County has the second largest arsenal in Guangxi, where 3,000 elites are stationed, and is a military depot for ammunition and guns for the garrison in Yulin and the surrounding areas.

The task of the Blade Special Combat Team this time is to blow up the Guiping arsenal first, and the purpose is to attract Qing troops from Yulin and Rongxian and transfer Yulin's troops to the southeast of Guigang, so as to relieve the pressure on the troops in Bobai and Luchuan and Hainan, buy time for them to adjust, and wait for Chen Fangzheng's support materials from Hainan.

However, the premise of the implementation of this plan was that Chen Zhong must be able to smoothly borrow troops from Dong San in Hengxian County to attack Guigang.

Guigang now has nearly 20,000 troops garrisoned, and if Chen Zhong can't borrow troops to attack Guigang, then all the efforts and sacrifices of the Blade Special Combat Team will be useless.

Because, Guigang's troops are enough to protect the safety of their logistics material base, so there is no need to dispatch the defenders of Yulin, and it is obviously impossible to relieve the pressure on Qi Gang. So the success or failure of this plan, Chen Zhong and Dao Feng are indispensable.

According to the original plan, they were going to blow up the Guiping arsenal around twelve o'clock in the afternoon. If Chen Zhongheng County succeeds in borrowing troops, once the battle of Guigang begins, then Blade's special combat team will continue to attack the Pingnan munitions depot to the north.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Dao Feng and his party of fifteen people divided into three groups and entered Guiping County, and gathered in the north of the county at about eleven o'clock.

Guiping County belongs to Xunzhou Prefecture, Guangxi. Xunzhou Prefecture has jurisdiction over Guiping, Pingnan, Guixian, Wuxuan four counties, the government is located in Guiping County, Guiping is the largest grain base and transportation hub in the southwest.

The village of Jintian here was also home to a famous person, Wei Changhui, the northern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Crossing the Xijiang River in Guiping County, it not only has beautiful scenery but also is an important shipping channel connecting the southwest and South China, so Guiping has been a military important place for soldiers since ancient times.

After entering Guiping County, Blade and the four special combat team members came to the vicinity of the Guiping Arsenal in the north of the city, and they carefully inspected the perimeter of the arsenal, marking every important link.

The arsenal was garrisoned with about 500 men, surrounded by six firing points, all with heavy weapons, and dozens of outposts that changed guards every two hours.

When arms are transferred from various places, the quartermaster of the garrison who needs the munitions must have a pick-up list stamped with the seal of the highest commander of the garrison before the munitions can be transported.

It is very difficult to enter the arsenal in this way in a short period of time. Blade hasn't been able to think of a good way to get into the arsenal yet.

However, Blade learns an important piece of information from a fellow in the teahouse near the arsenal, the leader of this arsenal often eats dog meat at noon at the "Guiping Restaurant" in the north of the city.

After checking the situation on the periphery of the Guiping Arsenal, the five Blades came to the market in the north of the city, and it was almost noon at this moment, so they came to this "Guiping Restaurant" to rest and have some food, because they had been on the road all night, and they had not eaten a drop of water until now. I was waiting for the armory-sama here.

This "Guiping Restaurant" is located in the North Street in front of the Guiping County Government, there are really a lot of snacks and restaurants here, it is noon at the moment, people who eat and drink come and go, extremely lively.

Only then did Dao Feng remember that this Guiping County is a food mecca. Since I crossed over, I have been busy every day, and I haven't had time to taste the local food of the late Qing Dynasty at that time.

This Guiping County is a place rich in food, and its famous delicacies include Luoxiu rice noodles, mung bean cakes, pork knuckle noodles, spicy dregs, dog meat, snail soup, etc.

Among them, Luo Xiu rice noodles are famous for their fine and well-proportioned strips, white and shiny appearance, flexible texture, cooking resistance, delicateness, lubrication, and crispness.

Luoxiu rice noodles can be boiled or stir-fried, and can be cooked into broth powder, old friend powder, screw powder, cold mix powder and fried powder according to different tastes. In winter, eat dog meat in hot pot, cook Luo Xiu rice noodles in dog broth, add a little chili pepper, chopped green onion, and its taste is wonderful.

The Blades came to the second floor of the restaurant and found a place by the window, where they could clearly observe the movement on the street outside the restaurant.

They ordered two catties of dog meat, a pot of snail soup, and each of them ordered a bowl of spicy Luoxiu rice noodles, tasting the food while observing the situation on the street.

As soon as they ate for a while, they saw four Qing soldiers walking from the west side of North Street, and the one walking in the middle was not tall, fat, white, with a big gold tooth, presumably Lin Youfu, a small leader of the arsenal that the teahouse guy said.

These Qing soldiers came to the restaurant, sat down diagonally opposite them on the second floor, and it was obvious that these people were frequent customers here, and they asked for some wine and food, and drank it.

At this time, Blade made a look, and the other four special combat team members quickly finished the food on the table and immediately left the restaurant.

Not far from the restaurant, Blade and the others met the other two groups, and after they met, Blade deployed the next mission.

Blade and the three members of the team waited for the Qing soldiers in a small grove on the way to the arsenal, which was the only way to the arsenal on North Street.

The others were divided into three groups, one to the south of the arsenal, one to the north of the arsenal, and one opposite the gate to the arsenal.

After Blade and Lin Youfu enter the arsenal, once the warehouse with munitions starts to explode, they will get rid of the guards together, and hold the retreat passage to the north to meet Blade and them.

About twenty minutes, Lin Youfu and the other four Qing soldiers walked towards this grove after they were full of wine and food.

After the four Qing soldiers entered the grove, the blades quickly subdued them. Except for Lin Youfu, the other three soldiers were all gagged with sackcloth and tied to a hidden place after being knocked unconscious.

The three of them changed into the clothes of Qing soldiers, forcing Lin Youfu to take them into the arsenal, where did Lin Youfu see this scene, he was already scared out of his body. I thought to myself, as long as you don't kill me, you can do it!

Lin Youfu took the blade and they came to the arsenal, and after the guards of the arsenal saluted Lin Youfu, they didn't notice anything, and they entered the first gate smoothly.

Blade breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the three points of fire diagonally above him, which would surely be smashed into a sieve if they were exposed.

As he was walking forward, he heard a voice from behind: "Stop! ”

Blade was shocked, and his heart was not good, so he pulled Lin Youfu's hand and subconsciously touched the short knife on his waist.
