Chapter 67: The Way to Sneak In

After Liu Hou listened to Zhang Bao's words, he felt that his heart suddenly brightened, he stood up "Huo" and beckoned everyone: "Everyone be quiet, General Zhang has an idea, everyone listen to it, this method may work." ”

The people who were talking about it all quieted down when they heard Liu Hou's words, and looked at Zhang Bao in unison, waiting for him to explain his plan. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Bao, who was usually a big guy, couldn't help blushing, he touched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly:

"This, this, or by Ah ...... Majesty xià let's talk about it. "That's why he dares to assign the emperor to do things casually. In other words, Liu Hou, the emperor, has only been in office for a few days, and he is a young man, and he has not yet established enough majesty.

"Alas, you guy, forget it, I'll talk about it." So, Liu Hou retold Zhang Bao's idea to everyone, and everyone fell into deep thought, although this method is risky, but now there is no other way, it seems to be the only way.

"Since the cost of attacking the city from the outside is too great, it is a good way to sneak into the city and find a way to break through the city from the city, what do you think of this method?" Liu Houdao.

No one spoke for a while, and finally, Guo Youzhi was the first to speak: "Back to Your Majesty, this method may work, anyway, now that our large army has not arrived, any other method cannot be implemented, this method might as well try, even if it is ...... Even if it fails, it's only ......"

What he meant was that even if it failed, it would only lose a small number of men who had infiltrated the city, and it would have little impact on the overall strength of the Hong army. But if you say this, it seems that there is a suspicion of letting these infiltrated special forces sacrifice in vain, and it is a little too cold-blooded to say it.

"Well, since you can give it a try, let's discuss how to implement this plan." Liu Hou also understood what he meant, so he skipped the topic directly and entered the substantive discussion.

"Your Majesty, there are two key points to implement this plan, the first key point is to be fast, to get the news of the arrival of our army in the Chengdu puppet court, so as to completely close the city gate and arrange personnel to infiltrate, this is a key point of the most important thing, and it must be implemented immediately." Guo Youzhi.

"Oh? Is there anything Mr. Kwok would like to implement immediately? Liu Houdao.

"That's right, please ask Your Majesty to immediately give an order for the special forces to go out, block the passage between the 'Ministry of Industry' and Chengdu, cut off the communication between the two, and try to delay the time for Chengdu to learn the news of the arrival of our army."

The Hong army was camped in warehouses and vacant houses in the dock area, and because the "Ministry of Industry" had not produced goods for several months, the merchants who had been profitable and gathered in large numbers had already left here, and a large number of warehouses, shops, and private houses were vacant, and there were few people near the entire dock area.

This makes it very likely that the news of the arrival of the Hong army has not spread, but the news has not spread now does not mean that it will not be spread in the future, after all, there are so many people in Hong, the movement is not small, and the dock area is not absolutely unmanned, once someone has many things to report the news of the arrival of the Hong army to the principal of the "Ministry of Industry", this principal is sure to report to Chengdu quickly.

After Liu Hou heard Guo Youzhi's words, he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered to send soldiers to block the road between the "Ministry of Industry" and Chengdu, and ordered the Cobra special forces to go all out to monitor and intercept the people who came out of the "Ministry of Industry," and asked them to arrange for their men to be scattered in the woods and fields near the "Ministry of Industry" to prevent those who reported the news from knowing that there were sentry posts on the road and moving through the mountains and fields instead.

Whether Zhang Bao's strategy can succeed depends on whether these people can cut off the communication between the "Ministry of Industry" and Chengdu. After arranging this matter, Liu Houcai sat down and continued to hold a meeting with everyone.

At this time, Guo Youzhi continued: "Cutting off the communication can buy us a little more time, however, this time will not be too long, the "Ministry of Industry" must have a mechanism for regular communication with Chengdu, if Chengdu does not receive the news of the "Ministry of Industry" for too long, the person in charge will definitely have suspicions. At that time, they only had to send someone to check, and it would be easy to find the problem. So, we still have to buy time to dive in. ”

Everyone agreed with him, and everyone began to discuss how to sneak in. Guo Youzhi said again:

"At present, it seems that there are only two ways to infiltrate, the first is to climb in through the city wall, according to the scout's reconnaissance, we know that the strength of the city is probably not very sufficient, so that the soldiers patrolling the city wall are not very enough, in the night on some remote sections of the city wall, there may be a situation that leaves the soldier's sight in a short time, I wonder if the special forces can seize this opportunity to climb over the city wall?"

The circumference of Chengdu's city wall is thirty-one miles and six minutes (about meters), and the defenders of Chengdu have been repeatedly transferred to Hanzhong, Jingzhou and other frontiers, with less than 10,000 men and horses left. People are not iron-beaten, especially when soldiers do physical work, so, under normal circumstances, the Shu army will be on duty in three shifts, of course, there may be two shifts in wartime, and even all the people will go to the city wall to resist the enemy and cannot rest day and night.

Then the men and horses were divided into three shifts, with only more than 2,000 people in each class, and they also had to guard important places such as the palace and various city gates, so that the people assigned to the city walls were pitiful. Some sections of the wall could not even stand at intervals, so they had to patrol them, which caused a short vacuum for a certain section of the wall.

When Guo Youzhi said this, everyone turned their heads and looked at Huang Xu with their eyes, Huang Xu had mixed in the special forces, and he was also a master in the special forces, and he had the most say among the people present.

Huang Xu thought for a while and said: "Theoretically, it is possible, one of the training subjects of special forces is to throw the flying claw to a high place, hook something at a high place, and then go up along the rope." However, the city wall of Chengdu is as high as six zhang (about 13.8 meters), and it is impossible for ordinary people to throw the flying claws made of iron up such a high place, and it is necessary to have a strong man in the army.

In addition, the enemy patrolling the city wall has a patrol team about every 30 zhang (about 69 meters), and they walk back and forth in this distance of 30 zhang, and the interval between them is very short, and it is likely that there are only a dozen breaths for the special forces to move.

Although it is possible to use a cloth pad on the iron claw to reduce the sound of the iron claw when it hooks into the wall, it will still make a little noise, so the patrol must be away from a certain distance before throwing the iron claw, so that the time left for the special forces to climb is shorter.

Also, we don't know what the situation is like inside the walls, whether there are people there, whether they are suitable to go down the walls there, and those who go up must go down immediately, or they will be discovered by the patrols.

Summing up the above points, first, there are very few people who can perform this task, and they must be people with extraordinary skills, and it is estimated that there will be no more than 10 such people in the whole army, perhaps...... Only 5 of them were completely sure that they would be able to throw their claws up the wall in such a short time, and then climb up and down on the other side.

Second, even if they can do this, there is a big risk in thinking that there is a big risk, because as I have just said, we don't know if the place where we climb the wall, the side of the wall, is safe and suitable for sneaking into. ”

Huang Xu said a lot in one breath, his words were very professional and pertinent, there are talents in the army with the help of iron claws, but there are definitely not many such people, it can be said that they are one in ten thousand.

In fact, there are many people who can climb the wall along the rope, and all the soldiers of the Hong Army have been strictly trained, and the Hong Army, including Liu Hou, can climb more than ten meters along a rope.

The key is speed, to climb up from one side of the wall in such a short time, and then climb down from the other side, which requires them to basically trot up and down the wall, which can only be done by the master of the masters.

Liu Hou is a person with thin arms and thin legs, and people who can do this are generally the kind of people whose arms are as thick as their thighs and who do more than 100 pull-ups without panting.

Now everyone understands that there can't be too many people who go into the city in this way, it can only be a single digit, and the risk is very high, it is easy to be discovered, once a person is discovered, not only will he himself die, but he will also startle the snake, arouse the vigilance of the enemy, and the subsequent plan will fail completely.

"In this case, let's use this way of entering the city as a backup means, and we won't use it for the time being when it is necessary, please Mr. Guo talk about the second way." Liu Houdao.

"The second method, which is simpler and less risky, is to enter through the Guò gate. Now the city gate is not completely closed, and the goods outside the city, such as rice grain, vegetables, chickens and ducks, pigs and sheep, medicinal herbs, etc., are continuously transported into the city every day, and the garbage, night incense, and water in the city are also cleaned out of the city every day.

It's just that these things are now basically handed over to large families with a certain amount of power, family property, and knowledge of the roots, and the government manages them in a unified manner, giving them a place to go in and out of the city every day. And the ordinary people are basically unable to enter and exit the city gate now. "Guo Youzhi.

"That's simple, if we forge a few passes, won't we be able to enter and exit with a swagger?" Zhang Bao shouted.

"Second brother, this can be forged if you want to. Don't interrupt, listen to what Mr. Guo has to say. Guan Xing couldn't help but grab Zhang Bao and stop him from making trouble.

"How hard is it, isn't it just a piece of paper? There are many gentlemen who can write here, and there are many gentlemen who can write well, even if it is a seal, isn't it carved? There are also a lot of people who can engrave seals, and we have so many talents, where can we not forge a small pass. Zhang Bao didn't listen to his persuasion and said unconvinced.

"Hehe, General Zhang Xiao, our Hongjun and the 'Ministry of Industry' have the best craftsmen in the world, and many of them have ingenious craftsmanship, if there is enough time, it is indeed not difficult for them to forge a pass. However, time is running out now, and it may not be possible to do it for a while. Guo Youzhi pinched his growing goatee and said.

"What's the explanation?" Zhang Bao said. Not only did he have this question, but many people were a little curious about this question, and they looked at Guo Youzhi one after another, waiting for his explanation.

"This is not the skill of craftsmen and gentlemen, but the result of objective reasons. Of course, this also depends on the importance that the officials and yamen of the issuing office attach to anti-counterfeiting.

If Guo is in charge of this matter, Guo will find a unique paper to write on, and even find a unique ink, preferably a pigment with a special taste to make the stamped ink.

If you don't know the recipe for these two things, is it difficult to make them in a hurry? Also, Guo can also make some secret notes in the office, these secret notes are very inconspicuous, if no one specifically points out that ordinary people can't notice it, in this way, as long as you don't know the secret mark, no matter how much you fake it, it's useless. ”
