It was initially scheduled to be the beginning of spring in March this year, and the method of midnight raid was adopted to capture the Black Cloud Castle. After defending the castle, he quickly attacked with light cavalry and tried to intercept the troops of the Blackwater River before dawn. As long as the light cavalry dragged the troops of the Heishui River for half a day, the heavy cavalry could arrive and eat the army of the Heishui River as quickly as possible. The hoplites will be the main force attacking Black Cloud City. The Light Cavalry and Heavy Cavalry are responsible for surrounding and monitoring the situation in Black Cloud City, and fighting for a person who wants to be caught will not slip through the net.

The main force of the heavy cavalry is responsible for monitoring the movements of the Sunset Forest Alliance, and if there is any abnormal movement, the heavy cavalry is responsible for destroying it. They expected that Black Cloud City would be able to temporarily cobble together about 20,000 to 30,000 people to defend the city. However, the heavy infantry carrying heavy rammers was expected to be able to conquer the city defenses in two days, and the remaining two days were the time for the slaughter.

Until the last class teacher returned to China. The entire operation is expected to take six to seven days. Luo Ming shook his head with a smile while listening: "Sure enough, it's a soldier everyone! This battle plan is really perfect! Once they are allowed to fight like this, the Qinglong Kingdom will indeed be completely destroyed within a few days."

I said, how did you get it?" He Ting's expression did not change, but he said lightly: "Jiang Zhujiu, the new director of the Wolf's Lair Operations Department, has already arrived in the state government of the Northern Alliance at the beginning of this month, first as a small servant, and in recent days, he has become the personal entourage of the prefect Ryazan. The information was just sent by him. ”

Luo Ming secretly praised this guy as indeed a talent. Then he asked, "You said there are two pieces of information?" "The second piece of information is: The six princes of the Eastern Holy Kingdom in the east of the Northern Alliance are married to the family of the Prince of the Northern Alliance.

The daughter of the sixth prince has married to Weiyang City not long ago. However, the congratulatory gifts from officials from all over the country of the Eastern Holy Kingdom could not catch up with the team of sending relatives, so they had to send a cavalry unit to send them over.

They felt that it was safer to keep a low profile, so the cavalry force consisted of only fifty men in total, and a total of four large carriages were given various gifts. ”

Luo Ming frowned and asked, "What does this matter to us?" "They will cross the Xuanwu border from the official road in ten days. ”

"It's still none of our business. "Indeed, as the situation becomes increasingly tense, the border checks between the Northern Alliance and Black Cloud City are becoming more and more stringent. It is not easy for individuals to cross the border empty-handed. There are also four big carriages, and the target is too big, even if you succeed in hijacking it, you won't be able to run at all. "One of the cars had a small box with 500,000 gold coins in it. ”

"It's with us now. Before He Ting's words fell, Luo Ming grinned and followed. He patted He Ting's chest vigorously, patted his shoulder, and said, "Who sent this information?" "It's also Jiang Zhujiu. ”

"You're waiting for me here. I'll talk to you after the meeting. Luo Ming rarely looked a little excited. At the meeting, Luo Ming first learned about the situation in various places. Zhao Hui said that after reorganization, the Imperial Guard of Heiyun City has now grown to 5,000 elite soldiers, and the palace guards have also reached the scale of 1,000; Luan Xunjie explained that the size of the army has reached 20,000 because of the abundant military resources and grain and grass in Yangbao and the enthusiastic participation of local people in joining the army; the thin man said that the troops in Heishui River have also been expanded, and have now reached more than 17,000 people.

The common problem of these people was the lack of armament, and due to the scarcity of iron ore, the army was very short of weapons and armor. Quanzhonghan's logistics and engineering troops grew to 15,000 men, but his troops were even more short of equipment.

Unequipped troops were no different from bare-handed civilians, with little combat effectiveness against heavily armed hoplites and infantry.

What's more, the Northern Alliance's Bone Soul Bow and Crossbow have always been strong.

The Qinglong Flying Tiger team led by Jiang Tengjiao has reached 7,000 people, and it is the most well-equipped team. At present, the equipment rate of knives and guns has reached 70 percent, the equipment rate of armor has reached 60 percent, and the equipment rate of the "Legend of Death" has reached 50 percent. This is Luo Ming's last and most important ace team.

Not only did he give this unit the best treatment, but he even stipulated that officers with the same official rank made the Blue Dragon Flying Tigers one level higher than other troops. It seems that the extraordinary shortage of iron ore limited the development of equipment for the troops. In any case, it seems that it is imperative to go to Xuanwu Kingdom to be a bandit this time. When I come back after robbing the money, it is estimated that I will have to negotiate with the ASEAN master and father and son. Otherwise, where does the iron ore come from?

Thinking of Lin Yi's handsome, but angry face that seemed to be about to attack at any time, Luo Ming couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He informed the generals attending the meeting of the battle plan of the Northern Alliance that he had just obtained, and asked them to start working immediately after returning to the meeting and draw up a corresponding battle plan as soon as possible, so that they could discuss it together at the next meeting. After the meeting ended, Luo Ming hurriedly found He Ting and returned to the basement of the "Young Elite Training Base" in the Wulang Palace, the "Wolf's Den" headquarters, to study in detail the special action plan for going deep into the Xuanwu Kingdom.

He Ting already had a plan in his heart, he wanted to select a few capable men and women from the group of young men and women who were being trained in the wolf's den, and specially go to the Xuanwu Kingdom to intercept the batch of wedding gifts. Luo Ming had other considerations, he felt that Hua Feihu stationed on the Xuanwu border was a big threat, and he should consider taking him by the way this time.

In accordance with this spirit, He Ting immediately selected thirty people from among the trainees, and Luo Ming personally conducted various tests on them—including psychological tests, physical fitness tests, combat tests, torture tests, as well as long-distance target shooting and emergency response tests using the "Legend of Death" and "Death Breathing", and so on. Eighteen relatively good candidates were selected from them, plus Luo Ming himself, Xiao Yu and He Ting, a total of 21 people formed the special task force of this first operation.

They planned to rush to Mingyang Town near the castle first, and then when it was dark, they would sneak into Fuhua County of the Northern Alliance in groups of three people through the mountain trails in groups. In the end, everyone gathered near the "Hongfu Teahouse", where street children in Fuhua County gathered.

For the sake of secrecy, Luo Ming was not prepared to inform the garrison of the castle, including General Luan Xunjie. This operation is going to use two "Legend of Death", five "Death Breath", and twenty-five short knives of various types. Because only Luo Ming has a space ring, all weapons and equipment are carried across the border by him in the "Luo Ming Mansion".

The specific action plan will not be formulated until the action team and Jiang Zhujiu are connected. Everything went smoothly, twenty-one people divided into seven groups, all dressed as sloppy street children, and smuggled across the border in two nights. Luo Ming, Xiao Yu and He Ting are the last group.
