Chapter 117: The Death of Lu Yanhong (2)

Although it is said that most of the Ya army is stationed in Liangzhou City, Lu Yanhong will not have the slightest negligence, and scouts are arranged in the periphery of Liangzhou and Lizhou and Jizhou, and the situation in Bazhou and Pengzhou is investigated at any time. still hopes to be recognized by the imperial court, which shows that Li Lang and the iron-blooded army have an unstable foundation, and they do not fully control the situation in Bazhou and Pengzhou at all.

Lu Yanhong was born in the military, and he still has a lot of experience in marching and fighting.

However, Lu Yanhong never dreamed that the Iron Blood Army would launch a sudden attack.

Yan Fu was very busy, Li Rupei sent eight hundred scouts to Liangzhou, not to enjoy the scenery of Liangzhou, these scouts were to come in handy. The deployment of the Predator's attack on Liangzhou was very sudden, and there was almost no prelude to preparation, so the scouts did not have to worry too much about exposure when they entered Liangzhou, in fact, when the scouts began to act, the Predator Army was already on its way to Liangzhou.

Yan Fu used three days to basically figure out the deployment made by Lu Yanhong, on the one hand, the intelligence personnel who entered the Ya Army played an important role, and on the other hand, because of Lu Yanhong's negligence, he didn't expect the Iron and Blood Army to take the initiative to attack.

The iron-blooded army set off from Bazhou, the route of the march was through Jizhou, straight to Bazhou, Lu Yanhong in Jizhou and Lizhou have arranged a certain number of foreign troops and foreign town soldiers, and around the official road close to Liangzhou, arranged a lot of scouts, day and night reconnaissance intelligence, these troops and scouts, together to protect the safety of Liangzhou, you must know that Lu Yanhong knows the strength of the iron-blooded army, but will not be negligent, lest Liangzhou be in danger.

The dark line planted by Lu Yanhong in Bazhou and Pengzhou, almost no Li Rupei has a pot, even if it is the remaining secret agents, there is no chance to transmit intelligence, and the strongholds on the periphery of Bazhou and Pengzhou have all been pulled out, and there is no information to be sent, so the key to the secrecy of the operation is still in the periphery of Jizhou, Lizhou and Liangzhou.

The foreign army and the foreign town soldiers, do not need to spend too much thought, do not receive the order to fight, they will not do anything at all, if they encounter a special situation, it is too late to dodge, let alone take the initiative to deal with it, the trouble is that Lu Yanhong arranged the scouts on the periphery of Liangzhou, these scouts have a certain ability, loyalty, and the slightest wind and grass will be reported.

One of the important tasks of the scouts sent to Liangzhou by Li Rupei is to kill these scouts who are in charge of reconnaissance, so as to ensure that the news of the Iron Army's attack on Liangzhou will not leak out prematurely.

Li Rupei's request was to enter Liangzhou City directly, he didn't want the Iron-blooded Army to attack the city, that might pay a huge sacrifice, if it couldn't be attacked for a long time, the army of Xiangyang came to reinforce, and the Iron-blooded Army would be in great danger.

In the final analysis, surprise is the biggest feature of this battle.

Because of the huge responsibility, Yan Fu did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and he was even ready to personally take the scouts to clean up the nails on the periphery of Liangzhou, but as the general leader, Yan Fu had more important tasks.

The scouts arrived in Liangzhou, and the operation began.

A team of scouts, starting from Liangzhou City, began to pull out the nails outside Liangzhou City.

The operation is all carried out at night, the movement is too big during the day, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the tooth army scouts, and the night is different, because a few months have passed, there has been no movement in Bazhou and Pengzhou, these scouts are also a little tired, and they can also pay attention to the surrounding movements during the day, and after dark, they basically rest.

There are 500 scouts from Liangzhou, divided into 50 squads, each squad of 10 people, Lu Yanhong sent scouts to the periphery of Liangzhou City, each squad of three to five people, basically stationed around the official road, some scattered in the surrounding farmers' homes, some in the vicinity of villages and towns, some directly stationed in the military camp outside the city, the nearest is less than five miles away from Liangzhou City, and the farthest distance from Liangzhou City is only fifty miles. And because Bazhou and Pengzhou have always been stable, some of the scouts have returned to Liangzhou City, and some have returned to the barracks.

The task of the five hundred scouts is to pull out these nails, after completing the task, they can not leave, continue to stay in place, pay attention to the surrounding movements, if there is anything abnormal, they must solve it in time, wait for the arrival of the team, join the army, and enter Liangzhou City to fight together.

When the child was born, the killing began.

Faced with the prepared Iron Scouts, the scouts of the Tooth Army barely fought back, some of the scouts were killed in their sleep, and some of them got up to resist, and they didn't hold out for long.

Two hours passed, except for the scouts stationed in the barracks, and the tooth troops scattered outside, they were basically killed, and there were no accidents, this kind of sudden attack, and it was in the middle of the night, it would not attract attention at all.

Yan Fu didn't sleep all night, the city gate was closed at Haishi, for the sake of safety, he didn't do anything for the time being, but this is not to say that he didn't have any plans, the three hundred scouts who stayed in the city, plus dozens of intelligence officers, there were a lot of things to do, and the most important task was to control the north gate late the next night, so that the army of the Iron Blood Army could enter Liangzhou City directly from the north gate.

The four city gates of Liangzhou City, the south gate is the most frequently used, the people generally enter the city from the south gate, the remaining three city gates, there are not many pedestrians, the north gate is used as a preparatory city gate, it is closed on weekdays, and the major festivals will be opened, and the main role of the north gate is not for the people to enter, but to allow the people to leave Liangzhou City smoothly.

From the point of view of the degree of vigilance, the North Gate is the weakest, and it is precisely because of this that Yan Fu chose to occupy the North Gate.

More than 300 people, all started to act at night, of which 200 people were concentrated in several inns near the north gate, and the remaining more than 100 people, scattered, always observing the situation at the south gate, east gate and west gate, mainly to see if anyone went to Jiedu to make the yamen report, if such a situation occurred, they had to find a way to kill the other party, stop the jiedu so that the yamen could get relevant information.

Yan Fu personally led people to wait near the south gate, generally speaking, the scouts of the tooth army who entered the city to report the news would enter through the south gate, their identities were different, and they would not choose to enter through other gates.

It was finally dawn.

There was nothing to do all night, Yan Fu still didn't dare to be negligent, and arranged for everyone to take turns to rest, today is the most critical, according to the itinerary of the Iron and Blood Army, it will be to Liangzhou City at night, and the attack will also be launched at night, and the main task during the day is to observe whether there are tooth army scouts entering Liangzhou City to report the news.

The scouts who were arranged to act outside did not enter Liangzhou City, which shows that the operation was very smooth, and there was no trouble, otherwise someone would have entered the city to report, but the daytime is very long, who knows if there will be any accidents, and the tooth army scouts who have been in the barracks will not have any action during the day, it is also unpredictable.

For example, the barracks of the Ya Army outside Liangzhou City are the biggest trouble, with 800 scouts, it is impossible to attack the barracks, although the Ya Army stationed in the barracks is only more than 1,000 people, if it is attacked by surprise, it will definitely be able to win, but in this way, the news will be exposed, and it is impossible to achieve maximum confidentiality.

The south gate, east gate and west gate of Liangzhou City are still open, and the north gate is closed.

Yan Fu sat at a stall not far from the south gate, observing everyone who entered the south gate, according to Yan Fu's observation ability, he could easily distinguish the common people from the sergeants, the sergeants of the Ya Army stationed in the military camp outside the city, and the scouts of the Ya Army, whether in terms of magnanimity or performance, were very different from the common people.

According to the information obtained by Yan Fu, unless there is a major change, the sergeants in the barracks outside the city are not allowed to enter the city at will, especially in the recent period, the regulations have become stricter, which may also be because many sergeants of the Ya Army have done mischief in the city, and the common people have suffered greatly.

The morning passed, there was no movement, Yan Fu also had to rest, waiting for him to have a more important task, to occupy the north gate after dark.

After the substitution, Yan Fu returned to the restaurant.

The situation in the restaurant is still the same, it is past noon, and there are not many people eating.

Yan Fu, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep at all, all he thought of was a lot of things, the attack on Liangzhou by the Iron Blood Army was an extraordinary move, once the Iron Blood Army action was successful, it would cause a great sensation, and it was not a simple thing to be able to make such arrangements and deployments, so this operation must be successful, as for whether it can capture Lu Yanhong alive, it depends on whether the action is absolutely meticulous, according to Li Rupei's arrangement, after the Iron Blood Army occupies Liangzhou and commands the entire Shannan West Road, Yan Fu was about to set off again and go to the capital Chang'an, which was the center of Li Rupei's intelligence network.

Although it is said that he has not been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, Yan Fu has completely felt that it is not easy, and if he wants to do such a thing well, it is not as simple as words, he must always be vigilant, he must be able to adapt to changes, he must be good at protecting himself, and he must be good at analyzing the situation, so that he can really obtain valuable information.

In a daze, Yan Fu suddenly heard hurried footsteps.

Two scouts entered the room with a man on their back, without even having time to knock on the door.

Yan Fu glanced at the person who was in a coma, his face quickly turned pale, and his mind began to clear up.

"Captain Yan, this person is a scout of the Tooth Army......"
