Chapter 488: Another Absconding
Red Eagle couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect how quickly the summit asked for the implementation of the backup plan, obviously the top of the Guanzhong Military Division was very angry about this failure, and at the same time, the need for gunpowder formula and gunpowder technology was very urgent, so he would not hesitate to take risks and prepare to implement the backup plan.
The backup plan is intended to be a supplement to the counter-plan, and a remedy in the event of a failure of the counter-plan. The plan required Red Eagle to infiltrate the finished gunpowder warehouse and detonate the finished gunpowder stacked in the warehouse.
The power of gunpowder is well known, and even the thick walls of Chang'an City can be razed to the ground, and if the entire gunpowder warehouse explodes, it is enough to lift Chezhanggou into the air. The first goal of this plan was to destroy the gunpowder workshop of the Shu army, so that the Shu army temporarily lost the production capacity of gunpowder, and secondly, after the explosion of the gunpowder workshop, so that the Red Eagle and the responding Wei spies could find opportunities to steal valuable documents or hold skilled craftsmen hostage in a state of chaos.
But Red Eagle is deeply worried, when the backup plan was proposed, Red Eagle had mentioned his opinion to Shangfeng as the first-line intelligence officer, in Red Eagle's analysis, the difficulty of the backup plan is quite large, not that you have infiltrated the gunpowder workshop and can do nothing, on the contrary, the control of the gunpowder warehouse is strict, and it is in the first and second position of the gunpowder workshop, with Red Eagle's current status, it is quite difficult to infiltrate.
Secondly, there is another important reason, once an explosion occurs in the gunpowder workshop, the consequences are immeasurable, not that the red eagle is afraid of death. But if you die in a daze under your own blasting. That's really big fun. Gunpowder has no eyes. Once the gunpowder warehouse is ignited, it is still unknown whether it can escape, and it is true that it is important to destroy the gunpowder production capacity of Shu, but because Shu has mastered the formula and production technology of gunpowder, it will not be long before it can be easily reproduced.
Red Eagle also gave reasonable feedback at the time, but he was in a lowly position and did not have any veto power. He just hoped that he could attract the attention of the upper echelons of the military division and make some rectifications to the backup plan, at least in the current situation, it was really difficult and difficult to sneak into the gunpowder warehouse.
However, to Red Eagle's surprise, the upper echelons of the military division did not adopt his advice, but quickly implemented a backup plan after the failure of the rebellion.
Of course, the backup plan is not something that the Red Eagle is required to do alone. The upper echelons of the military division also deeply considered the difficulty of the task, and deliberately sent more than a dozen highly skilled spies to infiltrate the gunpowder workshop. to assist the Red Eagle in his mission.
These highly skilled spies are not ordinary masters, but high-level spies specially cultivated by the Military Division, and they all have the ability to go to heaven and earth. It can be said that in order to obtain the formula technology of gunpowder, the military division of the military department this time did not hesitate to spend money, such a big hand, in the long time that Red Eagle served as the military marquis, he had never seen it.
Red Eagle took a deep breath, looked around at the left and right people, and stuffed the note into his mouth, chewing the note very calmly and calmly, and swallowing it into his stomach.
After so many years as a spy, Red Eagle has always maintained a high degree of vigilance, he pays attention to every detail, carefully handles all possible loopholes, in his opinion, if you want to live long in the heart of the enemy, you must always maintain good habits, and any negligence will cost you your life.
The cliff of the back mountain is very remote, and the entire Chezhanggou is immersed in a dead silence, and when Red Eagle lies in the tent, his mind does not stop for a moment, thinking about every implementation step of the backup plan.
According to the prior agreement, the implementation time of the backup plan is to be carried out tomorrow night, and under the cover of night, more than a dozen spy masters will infiltrate the Chezhang ditch and prepare to infiltrate the gunpowder warehouse. In this operation, Red Eagle will be responsible for the role of a guide, and his scope of responsibility is to receive the infiltration of the spy master and guide the infiltrated spies, so that they can accurately carry out a sneak attack on the gunpowder warehouse.
Although the garrison of the gunpowder warehouse is very strict, Chi Ying knows that all the masters who come this time can block ten with one, and if the sneak attack fails, they will use the means of strong attack, no matter which way, the Wei people are bound to win the gunpowder workshop.
As the night fell, Red Eagle divided his ten soldiers into two shifts, one in one and one in shifts, taking turns to stay here day and night, and the positive attitude displayed by Red Eagle was, at least on the surface, commendable.
After a sleepless night, the red eagle also walked out of the tent, strolling under the starry sky, his chest was very depressed, he originally wanted to come out to breathe, but as soon as he came out, he heard the sentry shouting: "Who is it? Hold it! ”
Red Eagle was a little annoyed, could it be that this soldier was blind, and even he didn't recognize it? However, Red Eagle soon discovered that the sentry's shout was not directed at him, but directly into the grass in front of him.
There was a noisy sound in the grass, and a thin figure stood up from the grass, looking at his age, he was a relatively young man, unkempt, covered with blood, under the moonlight, obviously hideous and terrifying.
The sentry put his arrow on his bow and shouted, "Hands up, come out!" ”
The man looked a little trembling, and walked over to this side with a trembling look.
Red Eagle looked at it, and the man was dressed as a craftsman making a newspaper, obviously not knowing that he had escaped from that process. Red Eagle couldn't help but secretly rejoice, if this person was really a craftsman in the gunpowder workshop, it would be an opportunity for himself.
He stepped forward, his eyes were cold, he forced his eyes to look at the man in tattered clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you and how did you come here, do you know that leaving the gunpowder workshop is a capital crime!" ”
The man pounced, knelt down in front of Chiying, and said repeatedly: "The military master spares his life!" Military master try! Xiao was originally a craftsman in the raw material workshop, but because of a moment of negligence, he made the wrong formula ratio and was severely beaten and threatened by the steward. Previously, the villain had some grievances with the steward, but this time he took revenge, wanting to put the villain to death and begging the military master to save him. Even if the villain is a cow and a horse, he has to repay the kindness of the military master. (To be continued.) )
