Takayo Togi set the time to go to the rescue of Takasugi Shinsaku at night, because only when the moon is dark and the wind is high can he do something unseemly, and he can leave no trace afterwards.

He gathered his people, set the route of the march, prepared his equipment, and then led his men to take advantage of the darkness of the night to rush straight to Kaesong from a shortcut that had been reconnoitred in advance.

The night was quiet, there were not many pedestrians on the road, only to see many fast horses galloping under the cover of the night, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves seemed to make people feel their inner anxiety.

And when Togi Takayoshi led the crowd to arrive outside Kaesong, it was already ugly, and this hour was also the time when people were most tired and sleepy, whether it was against the Japanese army or the Taiping army.

Togi Takayoshi came this time, and brought a total of thirty-eight people, all of whom were good players, and among these thirty-eight people, thirty were middle and high-ranking generals under the former Takasugi Shinsaku and Togi Takayoshi, and the remaining eight were the best among the lower-level officers and soldiers.

In short, none of these thirty-eight people are ordinary people, if they are put into the Japanese army, not to mention that they are in the department of Takasugi Shinsaku and Togi Takayoshi, but in the entire Japanese army, these thirty-eight people can definitely be regarded as masters of entering the house.

And Togi Takayo and these thirty-eight people are hiding in a dense forest outside Kaesong at the moment.

Togi Takayo observed the surrounding situation in the night, he groaned slightly, and then decided to lead the two of them to the bottom of Kaejo to step on the spot and feel the situation, and ordered the other thirty-six people to stand by.

After the arrangement was made, the three of Togi were like ghosts hidden in the darkness, and they flashed towards the walls of Kaesong with quick movements.

In the blink of an eye, they stopped about five meters from the city wall.

Then. Togi Takayo took the two of them around the city wall, and then, most of the situation on the castle tower was already in their eyes.

Of course, the reason why they had to stop five meters from the city before. It didn't stop directly under the walls, and it wasn't for nothing.

At this time, a torch was lit at a distance of a few meters on the castle tower, and such a torch circled the city wall. And these torches are like lights in the dark night, illuminating every qiē within four or five meters of the city.

Then, next to each torch, there was a small group of soldiers stationed, these Taiping soldiers with stern faces, closely watching every move around them, and the swords, guns, swords, halberds in their hands emitted a chilling light under the light of the torches, which made people shudder to see it.

If they hadn't stopped five meters from the city, they would have been decapitated or turned into porcupines.

From this point of view, the Taiping army's defense is quite tight, and if you want to take advantage of loopholes, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

And the two people who followed behind Togi Takayo couldn't help but show a trace of timidity on their faces when they saw the Taiping Army like this, which is no wonder. Under such a tight defense, if you want to infiltrate the city to save people, the difficulty is obvious.

However, Togi Takayo didn't think so, he didn't waver in his heart to save people because the Taiping Army was too tightly defended, on the contrary, it strengthened his heart to save people, not only because he had made an appointment with Takasugi Shinsaku, and everyone would not see or leave, but also because time was running out, if he didn't save today. I want to wait for such an opportunity, but I don't know when.

As the saying goes, the opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will not come again, Togi Takayo is not willing to sit back and wait for the opportunity to disappear from his face, he must seize the opportunity in front of him, he must.

Takayo Togi believes that any defense will have holes, so. He must have found this loophole, so he pretended not to see the expressions of the two people behind him. He went round and round about the wall, and then again and again, and so on and so forth, until at last he did not know how many times he had turned, and then he stopped.

And he stopped not because he was tired, but because he had already made a discovery.

What did Takayo Togi find?

He found a flaw in the tower of the East City. They can exploit the flaws.

This place is different from other places.

In other places, there are people with torches a few meters apart, but for some reason, here, the position between the two torches is more than ten meters away, and Togi Takayoshi is in the middle of the two torches at this time, and the place where he stands has become a dead spot that the torches can't illuminate.

In this way, it is difficult for the light emitted by the torches on the castle tower to illuminate the scene under the castle, but Togi Takayo, who is under the castle, can see the qiē on the castle tower clearly.

Isn't that a brilliant flaw. It's a great place to dive.

Togi Takayo stood in the dark and stared at the castle tower, and then looked around, and he couldn't help but show a hint of joy in his heart.

Here's your chance!

He turned around and waved his hand to the two men behind him, telling them to quietly bring the other thirty-six people who were lying in ambush in the shadows, from where he was ready to infiltrate the city.

The two of them took the order and hurried to inform the others.

It didn't take long for the thirty-eight people brought by Togi Takayoshi to gather at the foot of the castle wall.

Togi Takayo glanced at everyone, then pointed to the castle tower here and said, "Everyone, I have carefully observed the situation above and below the city, and this should be an excellent breakthrough."

Everyone looked up at Togi's finger to see what they had discovered, but, alas, they didn't see anything, so they looked at Togi again with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to reveal the answer.

"You say, if we stand here, will the people of China above be able to find us?" Takayoyo Togi smiled and said.

When they heard this, they looked at the castle tower again, and then looked at the place where they were standing.

This time, everyone finally understood that, as Togi Takayoshi said, the place where they were standing was no longer within the scope of the Taiping Army's monitoring.

Looking at everyone's suddenly realized expressions, Togi Xiaoyun pursed his lips and said, "The people on the castle tower change their guard once every hour, and it should be a few minutes before they change their guard again."

After listening to Togi Takayo's words, everyone finally understood the meaning of Togi Takayo's words without asking any more questions this time, and they knew that Togi Takayo wanted to sneak in when the Shina people changed the guard.

"That's right, that's exactly what I did." Togi Takayoshi had read the thoughts in everyone's hearts, so he nodded, affirmatively.

Everyone nodded silently, obeying Togi's orders.

And Togi Takayo was satisfied with the attitude of the people, he looked at the castle tower again, and said, "Everyone, please check the equipment, listen to my orders, and be ready to assault at any time."

The order is like a mountain, and everyone promises.

They immediately opened their rucksacks and took out a whole set of climbing tools, including ropes with hooks.

They had planned to climb up from under the weakly defended tower of the Taiping army here....

Ready, the rest of the time is to wait, waiting for the time of the changing of the guard of the Taiping Army to come.

However, the wait seemed to be a long time, and Togi Takayoshi and his subordinates all raised their hearts to their throats, their nerves tightened, their breathing accelerated, and sweat seemed to ooze from their palms.

In a word, they were a little nervous.

Who can not be nervous at this moment, and the moment of waiting is even more nervous.

Fortunately, there will always be an end to this torment, and the time for the Taiping Army to change the guard has finally come.

The Togi Takayo people under the castle saw the defenders on the castle tower raising torches and leaving their current posts, as if they were joking with the Taiping soldiers who had come to change the guard, and they could hear that the Taiping soldiers who had been guarding the castle tower for a long time were quite tired, and they seemed to be yawning incessantly, as if they could fall asleep at any time.

Seeing this opportunity, Togi Takayo waved his hand and shouted softly: "Up!"

The Japanese army also whispered a promise, and then lined up and prepared to climb the city.

Togi Takayoshi divided the thirty-eight people into four groups, seven people each, and began to climb up the castle tower in an orderly manner.

And he himself was ranked last, and he stood at the bottom of the city, looking at the Japanese troops who were constantly climbing up, and he was very nervous.

I hope that a qiē will be shun lì, Togi Xiaoyun thought. (To be continued......)
