Late at night, the wind still blows, the summer heat is blown away by the wind, and you will feel a little cold if you wear less clothes. The Wu army defending the city had already shrunk to the cave of the city gate to bake a fire and sleep, and there were only dozens of lonely soldiers patrolling back and forth on the mile-long city wall.

In the middle of the night, even the few soldiers who remained on the walls were dozing off against the walls, not even aware that a nightmare was coming them. At this time, dozens of people dressed in black were quietly touching the southern city wall. They removed the rope from their backs and waved it in mid-air for a moment before releasing it, and the hook at one end of the rope flew towards the city with a slight cracking sound, and soon a slight impact sound was heard, indicating that one end of the rope had made contact with the city.

The black-clothed man below pulled the rope hard, and it was very strong, proving that the hook at one end of the rope had been grasped, and the dozens of black-clothed people climbed up one after another. More than a hundred steps behind them, Cai Qiang stood there quietly watching the actions of those black-clothed people, with a little solemnity on his face. He is standing here, not for any other action, but specifically for the task. In case there was only a superficial laxity on the walls, he had to take the dozen or so brothers who remained behind to give the dozens of brothers who were in action fire cover to cover their withdrawal. This is also a consistent prudent approach, and there is nothing wrong with it. After seeing dozens of brothers disappear into the city walls, it took a while. Cai Qiangcai led his brothers back to the camp outside the city.

The scouts who entered the city, under the leadership of Yuan Bin, quickly gathered in the corner. This location is right in the depths of an alley. It was pitch black inside, and with the fact that they barely made a sound, no one could detect the anomaly here.

"Goo-goo"

"Goo-goo"

"The brother who answered is here, reply!" Yuan Bin immediately commanded in a low voice.

"Goo-goo-goo"

"Goo-goo-goo"

The intermittent call of the turtledove caused a code to be connected to each other, but Yuan Bin and the others did not act rashly, but stayed where they were and waited. Turtle doves are a bird found in most parts of the country, and later generations due to the development of cities. There are very few turtledoves in the city. Turtle doves were mostly found in low-altitude areas, and in this era, there was not much difference between the county town and the ordinary towns in later generations, so the voice of turtle doves was often heard.

There were two short "cooing" screams, and the team members who came to answer were getting closer and closer, and after the third response, two thin men wearing ordinary people's clothes appeared at the entrance of this alley, these two people were tall and short, the tall one was one meter eight, and the short one was only about one meter and six meters. Looks quite unusual. After the two arrived, the tall and thin man spoke, "Patriarch." I've been waiting for you all night, and the third is early, why haven't you come until now? ”

"Alright, you think we don't want to come in sooner, that's not a dog. Day. 's Wu Jun still has a patrol team that hasn't gone to sleep. You two are good, skinny skinny and bones, pretending to be a poor man is really like, if brothers like us enter the city during the day, the Wu army at the city gate will suddenly find an abnormality from us! Yuan Bin said angrily in a low voice. What he said was not true at all, these members of the reconnaissance team are the most elite soldiers in the whole army, and the fierce spirit on their bodies is extremely difficult to hide, and the two skinny and skinny team members like the two in front of them are rare in the reconnaissance team. However, just because they are thin doesn't mean they can't, on the contrary, they are much stronger than any other horsetail sergeant, and Ganchai's body contains explosive power like a volcano.

"Come with me, we've secured a courtyard in the city, just enough for the brothers to settle in." The short team member said, as soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Bin asked him to lead the way immediately, and the other team members followed, and soon, only five minutes, the group quietly came to the courtyard of a private house in the city.

"Tell me about the situation in the city, you two should have found out something in the afternoon." As soon as everyone settled down in the room, Yuan Bin began to ask.

The tall and thin man nodded. "In the past half a day, our brothers have simply visited the entire county. This Yongxin County is a small city, and there are no secrets in the city. At this time, there were more than 600 Wu troops in the city, a little more than what had been explored before, but it didn't matter. Importantly, the Wu army mainly defended only the southern, eastern, and northern gates, each with about 100 men, and the west gate was only a very small number of less than 20 men. There are still more than 100 county officials stationed in the city, and the rest are guarding the warehouse, we can't get close to it, it seems that there are some good things inside! Something else, time rushed, but not much was found. ”

"But the people of the city have been in trouble these days. I also inquired about the Wu army stationed in Yongxin County, some of them were originally garrisons in Youxian County, which were more than 200 miles away from here, and some of them were mountain bandits on the four buckets of Leopard and Tiger Mountain in Youxian County. The two parties had secretly colluded to oppress the local people, and after surrendering to the Wu army, they were mixed together and moved into the Wu army camp, and now they are sent here to garrison the newly captured Yongxin county seat. The tall and thin man continued: "The Wu army patrolling the city is ruthless, although it has not yet reached the point of using guns everywhere, it is not much worse, it is constantly collecting people's wealth." The most unfortunate are those rich families, who have basically been extorted nearly half of their family property. There were two households that did not obey, and they were put on the hat of a Qing court lackey to resist the Ming Dynasty, and the whole family was copied! ”

"Yes, Patriarch, I have a guess, do you think that the massacre of the village we encountered earlier was done by this wave of people?" After the tall and thin man finished speaking, another thin team member immediately spoke.

Yuan Bin pondered for a moment, feeling that it was really possible. "It's not a small possibility, and I'll have to investigate it in detail tomorrow during the day. Whether or not these people did it, we're not prepared to show mercy to their men anyway! The Wu Army Brigade has passed, we haven't seen what the current elite of the Wu Army looks like, and we still have to find a chance to remove more of the garbage we see in front of us. The time is set for tomorrow after dark, and we will disperse in the morning to investigate, and then come back here in the afternoon to assemble and summarize the plan of action. ”

"Yes!" Several squad leaders around Yuan Bin answered.

Yuan Bin also nodded, and continued: "Tomorrow, the brothers will have to take a closer look at one thing, whether the Wu army in this city is garbage or the elite of the Wu army has not been discovered by us, I always feel that this Yongxin County can almost be said to be nailed to the back road to the large Wu army in Ji'an Mansion, and it seems that it is not appropriate to place such a small number of troops." ”

"I think, is it that the Wu army has an army to drive in the future, although there are a lot of people who have entered Ji'an Mansion, but it seems that they are lone and deeper, is there no reinforcement behind?" One of the squad leaders offered his opinion.

"Didn't the squadron leader say that Wu Jun might still be doing it in Nanchang Mansion in the north? It is estimated that there will be no more Wu troops coming from Hunan in the west, so Wu Sangui still has to guard against the main force of the Qing army, and it is not okay to transfer all the troops to Jiangxi. I think there is nothing in this small city that can be noticed by Wu Jun, although it is the scope of Ji'an Mansion, but Yongxin only has one big road to Ji'an, we are still along the river path, and it is extremely difficult for the team to get through Guò, so this Wu Army is so relieved and bold to go straight to Ji'an Mansion along the main road! The skinny team member spoke again.

"Anyway, our Mawei Army has been in this realm for a few months, but it is much more familiar than the Wu army, our army will be able to defeat the Wu army, we still don't know the situation in this city, or what I said before, let's go and investigate it tomorrow, and then everyone will come back together to summarize and discuss. Tomorrow night the brothers are ready to give them a big gift! Yuan Bin clapped his hands and said: "It's not early, brothers hurry up and rest, maybe tomorrow after night, our Mawei Army's brigade brothers will also arrive!" (To be continued......)

PS: I'm sorry everyone. This month has passed, and by April the younger brother will definitely not owe the brothers a chapter. The original plan for each month is 60 chapters and 180,000 words, look at my table for next month!
