Jin Wu sinks in the west, the moon rabbit rises in the east, ten miles east of Tianjin, more than 20,000 Han troops camp here, Mu Ke, the general soldier of Tianjin Town, looks nervous, standing on the city wall and staring at the Han army camp.

"My lord, it's already dark, and the Han army won't attack the city!" Adjutant General Hainatu stepped forward to persuade.

"It's hard to say...... Ay! Mu Ke sighed, thinking to himself how he was so unlucky, three months ago he was still a civil official, did not understand military affairs, Tianjin General Soldier was originally a Han Chinese, since the surrender of the governor of Shanxi, the emperor is completely uneasy about the Han people, especially the leading generals, the general soldiers and deputy generals near Beijing have all been replaced by Manchurian, he was appointed as the Tianjin General Soldier that will be very happy, thinking that it is easy to advance and retreat here, the Han army captured Beijing, he could flee to the Northeast by boat, thousands of calculations, but did not calculate that the Han army will come from the sea, It seems that the ships preparing to flee are also more auspicious.

Hainatu persuaded again: "Since the Han army landed, the army in Cangzhou and Baoding has sent 5,000 people to support, and now there are 15,000 soldiers in the city. ”

Mu Ke said slowly: "This official is not worried about Tianjin, if the Han army under the city bypasses Tianjin and goes straight to the capital, what will be the consequences, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed in two hundred years, we must not relax." ”

Hainatu pondered for a moment, shook his head again, and replied: "Humble and foolish, there are heavy troops in Langfang and Tongzhou, all of whom are Manchurian relatives and nobles as guards, and the Han army is attacking Beijing, and is not afraid that the back road will be intercepted?" ”

That's right! Mook agreed in his heart, and remained silent in order to maintain his prestige. He didn't make a statement, just stood quietly on the city wall.

Hainatu and the others glanced at each other, and they all sighed secretly, and accompanied Mu Ke to stand at the head of the city to enjoy the scenery, and it was not until an hour later that Mu Ke took them back to the mansion to rest.

The moon and stars are scarce, a ray of moonlight illuminates the earth, and the Han army camp is immersed in a piece of moonlight. The neat formation stood solemnly. The aura of slaughter comes naturally.

Li Hongzhang put away the Tianjin city defense map and said to Tang Liang: "There are 5,000 reinforcements in the city, this map is not very accurate, as long as you remember the distribution of the military camps in the city." Our army is attacking at night tonight. With musketeers as the vanguard. The Qing soldiers were only equipped with some spears and broadswords, and they were no match for our army. ”

After the Battle of Dagu, Tang Liang's 200 men and horses defeated the Qing army, and the entire Dagu Association of 3,000 people. With only nine casualties among himself, Li Hongzhang completely recognized the combat power of the so-called special forces, and the vanguard of this night attack was the two hundred special forces.

Tang Liang nodded, estimated the time, and said, "There are still two hours before dawn, I'll go down and prepare first." ”

Liu Changyou looked at Tang Liang's departing back, and said enviously: "These two hundred people can expand an army, and they can go to the battlefield in less than a month, this Tang General is not simple!" ”

In the battle of Dagu, Liu Mingchuan was very unconvinced, and shouted: "If you have the ability to open the formation and fight, I can kill them all with one battalion, I don't think it's a big deal for them, it's okay to be a guard in the palace, the battlefield is not where they should come, no matter how good a person's martial arts are, can he block bullets?" ”

Wu Changqing said with a smile: "Lao Liu, don't be unconvinced, General Tang's subordinates are very strange, especially their guns, have you found it, not only the pistols are different from ours, but the rifles can shoot continuously, don't say I've seen this kind of continuous guns, I haven't even heard of them." It can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to him, not to mention an army, even a group army can be made up. ”

Liu Mingchuan muttered: "The emperor is partial, only cares about his cronies, I am a division commander is not as good as a big-headed soldier, you look at their equipment, pistols, bead guns, daggers, even the clothes on their bodies are better than us, I think, these are the emperor's baby bumps......"

"Shut up!" Li Hongzhang saw that Liu Mingchuan also said that it was too much, so he immediately stopped drinking, and said in a fierce voice: "The emperor is kind and loving, don't be fearless because of this, is the emperor something you can discuss!" ”

Liu Bingzhang said: "The general trained you for your good, there are no outsiders here, I will make some things clear, our 14th Army has just become an army, there must be a lot of spies in the army, if these words reach the ears of the emperor, even if the emperor does not blame, we have lost the sacred heart, and we don't know what will happen at that time!" ”

When it came to Jinyiwei, Wu Changqing was clever and echoed: "Zhong Liang is right, a few days ago I found that a few staff officers were absent-minded and often contacted the rear, as soon as I inquired, it turned out that they were all from the Intelligence Bureau, fuck!" Now the Intelligence Bureau has also set up a school, and it is also blatantly active! I don't know how many spies there are in the whole army, it's really impossible to guard against! ”

Li Hongzhang waved his hand, with a serious expression, looked at everyone, and said solemnly: "Everyone is sitting up straight, so you are not afraid of these crooked ways, and besides, the emperor is wise and resolute, and these spies do not dare to mess around." ”

Liu Ming passed out the big tent, circled around the big tent, and was not at ease, so he called his own soldiers to sentry, and then came in and whispered: "My lord, you tell us about the intelligence bureau, you also know that my old Liu loves to talk big, if this is targeted by the people of the intelligence bureau, I can't tell it even if I open my mouth!" ”

All the generals and staff officers in the house were all literati, and they knew very well how powerful the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei was, and they all looked at Li Hongzhang, hoping that he could explain a thing or two.

Li Hongzhang pondered for a while, and felt that Liu Mingchuan was right to worry, the words were terrifying, and the three of them became tigers, especially the newly attached people, who should pay special attention, and besides, the people who were in charge of the intelligence bureau were all people from Guangxi.

Thinking of this, Li Hongzhang looked around and said: "I heard about this about the Intelligence Bureau, I heard it from Lord Lu, the Intelligence Bureau belongs to the jurisdiction of the General Staff, the director is a person named Zhao Laoqi, he is the first person to follow His Majesty, there are three sub-bureaus below, namely the Military Investigation Bureau, the leader is called Wang Lei, this person is also a veteran of Guangxi, and there is also a sub-bureau called the International Bureau of Investigation, you don't have to worry about this, this bureau is in charge of foreign countries, and the last sub-bureau has no name, it is very mysterious, Specialized in assassinating enemy generals, spying on intelligence, and so on. ”

Liu Mingchuan touched his head and replied: "So we just need to guard against the Military Investigation Bureau!" ”

Li Hongzhang said: "However, you don't have to worry, except for the rebellious generals, I haven't heard of that person being killed by the Intelligence Bureau, and they don't have the right to arrest generals above the regimental level. ”

Wu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, he was still worried that those staff officers wanted to harm him, it seemed that he was too careful.

Li Hongzhang caught a glimpse of the dense figures outside, and secretly glanced at Liu Mingchuan, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here, and immediately said: "Everyone go back, each lead the men and horses, see the signal, and attack immediately!" ”

"Obey!" The generals rushed out, and the tent was much empty, and only a few staff officers remained.

The dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the earth suddenly became much darker, Tang Liang closed his eyes, secretly ran his internal force, and said to several captains: "This is the best time, there are torches shining on the city wall, and you can't see the movement under the city clearly, the third son, you go to report to the lord, just say that we will act in advance!" ”

"Yes!" A thin man left quickly.

Tang Liang waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

More than 200 people were divided into four teams, and quickly approached the city wall under the cover of darkness. In a quarter of an hour or so, two hundred men were already under the city walls, bowing down.

Tang Liang made a gesture, and immediately more than a dozen team members moved behind him and took out the tools he was carrying, all of which were some flying claws, specifically for the purpose of hooking the gaps between the battlements on the city wall.

After finding out the situation in the city, with a "whoosh", Tang Liang threw the rope in his hand out, tried to pull it twice, and nodded to everyone.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh"

More than ten special forces threw the ropes in their hands, and under the leadership of Tang Liang, they climbed to the city, and it only took three breaths for Tang Liang to climb to the city wall, and more than ten captains climbed to the waist of the city. (To be continued......)
