Chapter 391 (Xie Miclechen, Three Yellow Teeth, Two Brothers' Monthly Pass.) ）

On the morning of the next day, a special operation team of 400 people who were familiar with water was formed in the Chinese army camp selected from various armies, and Wang Yong led more than 100 Jinyi guards to join them, but many people in the Jinyi Wei guards were not familiar with water, so they had to temporarily cram, and Li Daniu took more than 100 soldiers with good water skills to carry out a quick teaching in the bay above the Surabaya River. I don't want to be good at water, but I don't want to drown in the water, and I can learn a simple dog planing style.

But Song Nan never gave an answer to the question of how the underwater culvert was forty zhang long and could not be drowned. It wasn't until late in the evening when Song Nan summoned the generals to arrange the siege task that the mystery was completely revealed.

Hundreds of guards carried more than fifty slender canoes at the door of the big tent, and Song Nan pointed to the canoes and said, "This is the key to crossing the culvert." ”

Everyone was stunned, could this canoe still be rowed underwater? What kind of tricks is the Metropolitan Governor doing?

Song Nan personally demonstrated, turned the canoe upside down, and walked a few steps with Li Daniu on the canoe one after the other and said with a smile: "Do you understand?" ”

"What do you understand?" What does it mean that the generals want to cry without tears?

Song Nan sighed and put the boat on the ground, and was about to explain, when he suddenly heard someone applauding and laughing: "Good way, good way, Lord Song's method is simply amazing." ”

Everyone looked, but it was the Chinese officer Zhang Yong applauding, Xu Tai was stunned and said, "Can Gonggong Zhang understand it?" ”

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "Our family remembers the boat on the lake when we were young, do you want to hear about it?" ”

The generals rolled their eyes and said: The big war is coming, who wants to listen to what you say about boating.

Zhang Yong was familiar with himself, and said without waiting for everyone to nod: "I remember when I was seven or eight years old, I once went boating on the small lake in front of my house with my cousin, but unexpectedly, the boat capsized, and my cousin and I fell into the water together. Unfortunately, my cousin and I didn't know how to use water, and we both splashed in the water for a long time, and the bottom of the overturned boat was very slippery, and we couldn't catch it, so we both drank a lot of water; Just when I thought I was going to die in the water, guess what? ”

The crowd was aroused and craned their necks and asked, "Has someone rescued you?" ”

"You climbed into the boat?"

"Someone must have saved you, otherwise how could you stand here and talk?"

Zhang Yonghe laughed and said: "Don't guess, tell sù that I sank to the bottom of the lake, and when I came up for the last time, I accidentally stuck my head into the boat that overturned on the lake; There was still room in the cabin after the boat capsized, so I grabbed the plank at the bottom of the boat, stretched my head in the gap to breathe, and fluttered under my feet, and let me flutter ashore; Unfortunately, my cousin drowned in the water, hey. ”

The generals were stunned, and Lu Wan said suspiciously: "Father-in-law is saying that after the boat overturns into the water, is there still a gap to breathe inside?" ”

Zhang Yong looked at Song Nan and smiled: "Lord Song, what do you say." ”

Song Nan laughed and said: "Gonggong Zhang is right, I just want to use the space at the bottom of the boat to breathe for everyone, let's take a boat of eight people, turn the boat over and use the wooden strip to grab the side of the boat, the boat will be carried by the weight of eight people and sink directly into the river, but there is still space in the boat, just step on the ground of the culvert and walk directly through the culvert." ”

Everyone exploded, they didn't expect this to be done, the mind of the Metropolitan Governor can be regarded as empty, if this matter is let others think about it, how can they not think of this way.

A soldier wanted to carry a small boat to test, Song Nan waved his hand and said: "No need to try, it will definitely be successful, unless the boat you build leaks water and air, then it will die in the culvert, in addition, I am afraid that the culvert has a sharp turn, and the boat cannot be passed; However, the old stonemason Niu Lao has also ruled out this point, and this culvert leads straight into an artificial pond in the city. ”

The generals smiled happily and buzzed about it, Song Nan sat behind the desk and coughed, and the tent suddenly fell silent.

"Everyone, we must take this Gunzhou City tonight, Xu Tai listens to the order!"

Xu Tai stepped forward and arched his hand: "Humble duty." ”

"Order you to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Xicheng, and launch a feint attack after the second watch."

"Obedience."

"Lu Wan listens to the order!"

"The lowly Lu is here."

"Let you lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to make a feint attack on the northern city after the second watch."

"Yes!"

Song Nan said solemnly: "The two of you remember, the fire in the city is the number, and when the fire in the city starts, you will storm the two city walls, and you must attack the city walls, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Xu Tai and Lu Wan both arched their hands and shouted: "Swear to break the city, please rest assured." ”

Song Nan nodded and said: "My life is in the hands of the two of you, if you can't break the city, all the people we go in will be killed, and if you break the city, you will save your life." ”

The generals were stunned and said, "The Metropolitan Governor wants to enter the city through the culvert?" ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "Of course." ”

The crowd shouted, "No, it can't be done, this is too dangerous, why should the Metropolitan Governor take risks." ”

Wang Yong said: "Yes, my lord, my subordinates can lead the team, don't you don't believe in the ability of your subordinates?" ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Of course, it's not that I don't believe you, but because I need to go into the city in person; It must be known that the gates of the four cities were blocked by thieves, and they could not open the gates for the besieging army after entering; Yesterday and today, we shouted to the city and threw leaflets into the city, so that after we entered the city, we could instigate the people to respond and cause chaos in the city. My appearance in the city is completely different from your appearance in the city, I am the governor of the imperial court to suppress the thieves, once I enter the city, it means that the city has been broken by my army, and it will be a psychological blow to the thieves in the city, but also to the people to be courageous, to the soldiers who are ready to fight against the water, understand? ”

Everyone was silent, what Song Nan said made sense, once the imperial court suppressed thieves and the governor appeared in the city, what a big shock it would be; In the final analysis, the Metropolitan Governor still wanted to instigate large-scale chaos in the city and reduce the losses of the siege soldiers and horses; But once the identity of the city is revealed, the governor of the capital is even more dangerous.

Zhang Yong said in a low voice: "Having said that, please think twice, Lord Song, you are the master of the army, once there is an accident, it will be terrible." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, how can I die so easily, Xinping Fort is besieged by the Tartar army, haven't I escaped unscathed?" Not to mention these rabble thieves. ”

Everyone persuaded hard, Song Nan insisted on insisting, and the generals had no choice but to give up.

The military order has been issued, the troops returned to the camp to prepare for action, Song Nan pulled Hou Dabiao to the side of the tent, and said in a low voice: "After dark, you lead five thousand brocade guards to hide at the south gate; When the tower of the southern city is on fire, I will immediately attack the south gate, and I will drop a rope at the top of the city to help you climb up. ”

Hou Dabiao was overjoyed, and said in a low voice: "When you are an adult, you have forgotten your humble position, is it difficult to give the first credit to others?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "It's not a matter of whether it's the first merit or not, the defenders of the South Gate are the weakest, I must occupy the South City first, and lead you into the city to cause chaos in the city, that's the key to the plan." ”

Hou Dabiao patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this time I will give you a long face, and I will cut off the head of the thief Yang Hu and give it to you." ”

Song Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead." ”

Hou Dabiao turned around happily; Song Nan ordered the meal to be opened, led the four hundred water rats that were about to burrow to eat a full meal, and ordered everyone to wrap the blades and firearms in oilcloth and tie them to their bodies.

On the second watch, the sound of shouting and killing outside the north and west cities remembered that Xu Tai and Lu Wan's feint attack started; Song Nan, who was sitting alone in the big tent and closed his eyes to recuperate, jumped up and stepped out of the big tent, and waved his hand to Wang Yong, who came up, Wang Yong gave orders repeatedly, and four hundred warriors carried the wooden boat out of the camp to the east and disappeared into the darkness.

The north city and the west city were attacked at the same time, Yang Hu quickly climbed the city tower after receiving the report, and saw the arrows in the sky shooting towards the city, but he didn't see the officers and soldiers attacking, and couldn't help scolding: "Damn, what kind of fame, these Sun Tzu officers and soldiers don't rain when they thunder and don't rain, and they have a kind of real swords and guns to try it." ”

A leader next to him came up and said: "General, do the officers and soldiers have any intentions, the officers and soldiers have been making such a fuss for two consecutive nights, and they always feel that something is wrong, it stands to reason that it is not good for the officers and soldiers to make such a fuss, last night we condescendingly shot a lot of people to death, what are the officers and soldiers trying to do?" ”

Yang Hu said: "There is a fart attempt, which one of the officers and soldiers is not a pustule?" Let's fight all the way from Wen'an to here, how many can we fight in a radius of thousands of miles? Leave them alone, let the soldiers and horses in the city stare wide-eyed, the officers and soldiers do not attack, and they don't even have to release arrows, let them make trouble. ”

The orders were passed down left and right, and the defenders of the city hid behind the battlements one by one and looked at the officers and soldiers shouting below in a daze, at first they were still a little interested, but later they didn't even bother to look at it, and some people even took the shouting and killing of the officers and soldiers as a lullaby, and simply closed their eyes and fell asleep.
