Chapter 67: Dongjun Mansion
Ma Yuan was in action, and Zhang Meng and Jiang Hexing's fleet also arrived 20 miles east of Dongjun City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info ship had just dropped anchor to rest, and the messenger sent by Ma Yuan had already arrived on board.
After Jiang Hexing read the letter, he forwarded the letter to Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng finished reading and said: "Ma Yuan has already acted, and I will act now." ”
Jiang Hexing nodded and said, "You can decide for yourself." ”
Zhang Meng picked up the soldiers and began to go ashore, what was harder than Ma Yuan was that it was already night at this time, it was dark, everything was inconvenient, but Zhang Meng didn't care, he was busy and hurried, so he prepared everything. Chariots, horses, soldiers, grain and grass, refined salt, weapons, all ready, Zhang Meng was about to set off, Hao Zhan rushed over and said, "Commander Zhang, is this appropriate?" The black light is blind, the road ahead is unknown, which direction are you moving? ”
Zhang Meng said: "I can go directly to the Dongjun Mansion, there is an official road leading to the Golden Causeway, just go straight all the way." ”
"Dongjun Mansion? Zhai Yi raised troops, it is impossible not to stay here, Commander Zhang thought twice, this is not the time to attack the city. ”
"Who said that I was going to attack the city, I just went to the Dongjun Mansion to have fun, and told the people in the city that I was here, and I asked them to go to Jindi on the sixth day of October."
Hao Zhan asked in surprise: "Now in the middle of the night, the four gates of Dongjun City must be closed, how can you enter the city?" ”
Zhang Meng smiled faintly and said, "Haha, can't I enter the city if I close the city gate?" Brother Hao, you think of us simply. ”
Hao Zhan really didn't worry about this young and arrogant Zhang Meng, and said: "You can go, I will also follow, and see how you enter the city." ”
Zhang Menghao battled on his horses, and the team lit torches and marched west at Jindi. After walking for more than 10 miles, he saw a slope, Zhang Meng stopped the team and sent someone to investigate, and it was indeed an official road. It seems that the position of the ship is not as planned.
Zhang Meng ordered the ramp to go down the slope and go north along the official road, slowing down and blowing out the torches in order to reduce the sound. Except for the person who led the team in front, who lit a torch, the rest of the people followed closely in action. After walking for another half hour, a river in front of him blocked the way, and behind the river was a high wall.
Hao Zhan looked at the river in front of him and knew that the carriages and horses could not cross. Seeing that everyone got off the horse, Zhang Meng summoned a few people to explain, only to see those people remove a piece of wood from the car, and then take out a few bags and other things, and a few soldiers were blowing on the bag, and the bag gradually became larger. A few bags were blown and tied to the boards, and a small raft was ready.
Although the starlight was dim, Hao Zhan still saw what they meant, and he was horrified, he didn't know when they prepared.
The raft was ready, and there were three warriors each carrying a package, and one warrior got on the raft with a penny in his hand, and saw that he could not see it in a blink of an eye, and after a while, he only heard the sound of the rushing water, and three more warriors got on the raft. Hao Zhan realized that there was a special one who supported the boat, and the rest were just sent over, and a few rafts were made in a row, and the speed of sending people was accelerated, so Zhang Meng walked over and said, "Brother Hao, you help us watch here for a while, and we will come back in an hour." ”
Hao Zhanxin said: What can you do in an hour, go around the city wall, just ignore him for now, just help him keep an eye here.
Hao Zhan agreed: "Brother, we just came, the situation in the city is unknown, everything is careful." ”
Zhang Meng said: "Brother Xie cares, I'll leave first." ”
After speaking, Zhang Meng also disappeared into the night. The water sound sounded, and a few bird calls were heard, Hao Zhan wondered, there are so many birds this winter, it seems that there are a lot of fish in this water.
Hao Zhan sent a few people from his own chariot battalion to take over the small raft, and left a few to guard on the other side of the moat, waiting for a good response. After waiting for half an hour, he only heard a loud bang, and the fire in the city was everywhere, Hao Zhan looked at it, and his heart was determined, seeing that the place where the fire started was not one, there were at least four or five places, the north city, the east city, and the west city, after a while, the city center was also a loud bang, and it rang for a long time, and the bright light flashed and flashed, like lightning. There was a big uproar in the city, torches were lit at the head of the city, and the torches slowly went down the city wall.
Hao Zhan was overjoyed, it seemed that with Zhang Meng's situation, it would not be troublesome to open the city gate directly. Now the lights are lit up at the head of the city, and there are lights constantly moving, it seems that they are patrolling, with the help of the lights, Hao Zhan can see clearly that the city wall is about the same height as the city of Xianwu, I really don't know how Zhang Meng and so many of them entered the city.
Hao Zhan was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard three loud noises ringing in his ears, fortunately, the mouths of these horses were controlled, otherwise they would be discovered at once.
Hao Zhan felt that the ground under his feet was trembling, it seemed that they had returned to the vicinity of the Nancheng City Gate, but why did you release thunder here, didn't you attract soldiers to come over?
When Hao Zhan was wondering, he heard the sound of birds chirping again, and the sound of the river roaring in his ears sounded again, and Hao Zhan realized that they had returned.
After a while, the personnel came over one after another, listening to their whispered conversations, unable to hide their excitement. Hao Zhan took advantage of the fire at the head of the city and saw Zhang Meng coming to him, so he asked, "Is it smooth?" ”
Zhang Meng said: "Everything is in the plan. ”
Hao Zhan said: "What's the next step?" ”
Zhang Meng said: "It's almost dawn, let's leave first, don't let them find any clues." I'll make plans when I get back to the ship. ”
Two people got on their horses, everyone got on their horses, those who got on the cart got on the car, and the team returned along the same road. Walking to the golden embankment, the sky was already bright, quicken the pace, and head east. On the way, Zhang Mengcai explained the process to Hao Zhan in detail, and it turned out that the sound of the bird's call was the contact signal of their special operations group, which was divided into long and short times, and represented different meanings. They went up to the city wall by shooting a flying claw with a crossbow arrow, and behind the claw was a soft ladder that the warrior could easily climb. Later, these things were shown to Hao Zhan, and Hao Zhan realized that Zhang Meng was not reckless, but had been prepared.
Back on the boat, Zhang Meng reported the situation to Jiang Hexing, and suggested that the ship anchor 20 miles to the east, too close to the city for fear of being detected, in addition, in the place where the ship can be detected, there should be a dense sentry post to temporarily block the news. Jiang Hexing agreed, and the boat traveled 15 miles east that day before dropping anchor and lowering its sails. During the day, Zhang Meng sent people to dress up in disguise, inquire about the news, and look for the local large county towns and draw graphics. In the evening, Zhang Meng divided his troops into several routes and asked the spies to act as guides to move towards the county town that he explored during the day.
Zhang Meng, who was listening to the river, focused on the town, and felt that there were a few boats, so he sent a small sailboat to quickly show his strength, and requisitioned Fan Jia's fleet, at least half of the ships came over. In addition, all the ships that can be transferred by the shipyard will be transferred. In addition, send someone to send a letter to Zhang Kai, and the food in Phoenix City will not be sold out first, and it will be decided depending on the number of refugees for the time being.
Jiang Hexing sent people to send an order to Ma Yuan and Ma Biao's fleet, gather on the sixth day of October, if there are many people at that time, there is no need to wait until the tenth day of the first month, there are more than 5 ships can form a fleet, you can concentrate on Phoenix Island.
