Chapter 15: Task 5: ??? (Medium)
With thirty more rides, Dragon Thirteen was naturally happy.
However, in the face of such a dangerous situation, he was happy for a while.
Early the next morning, Long 13 summoned Yuan Zongdi, Bai Wenxuan, Li Zhanchun and others to come over for a meeting.
"While waiting for the news of the Eight Kings Scout, we can't be idle, there are two things, first, our department has suffered a lot of damage in the battle in recent days, and the bodies of the teammates who died in the battle have not yet been buried, and our conditions are limited, but it is still possible to dig a pit for each person."
"Yuan Zongdi is in charge of this matter, let's find a place to settle nearby"
"Second, there are still some young people in the bait and the old camp, as long as the big boss and the second boss are cavalry, there is no suitable one, so I can't pick the fat and thin, pick another hundred people in it, try to choose the younger ones"
"Start training as soon as you're done"
"Third, although the current task of spying on the enemy's situation is being done by the people of the Eight Great Kings, we can't sit back and enjoy the success, so I have decided to go to Yongning Prefecture City in person tonight."
He looked at Li Zhanchun, "Black Harrier, do you dare to go with me?" ”
Li Zhanchun said with a smile: "If the three masters go, I can't go?" ”
Yuan Zongdi and Bai Wenxuan also shouted: "Three masters, I want to go too!" ”
Long 13 scolded: "It's not that I don't want you to wait, but if you wait for yourself to see your figure, I'm afraid that if you can't get to Yongning Prefecture City, you will be arrested as a spy."
He was laughing at Yuan Zongdi and Bai Wenxuan, who were stout and didn't look like a homeless person, and although he himself was tall and had some muscles, he still looked very thin, as for Li Zhanchun, he was originally short and concise, and he could do it with a little makeup.
When the two of them heard this, they had no choice but to give up.
......
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Long 13 and Li Zhanchun put on a tattered winter coat, burlap was full of holes, and the reeds inside were also exposed, wearing straw sandals barefoot, messing up their hair, deliberately soiling their faces, each with a broken bowl and a wooden stick, and left after explaining the situation to the lamplighter.
As for the lantern, he now also realizes that if he sits and waits to be killed, he will either be defeated by the official army and then sent to Beijing City to enjoy the execution, or he will be annexed by Zhang Xianzhong, who is eyeing him, and he will naturally be happy to see it.
"Be careful"
Before the two left, he hadn't forgotten to tell him.
However, after the second leader Hui Dengxiang found out, his expression was very complicated and seemed to be thoughtful.
The so-called Yongning Prefecture City, is the Jiaokou Town of later generations, located at the confluence of the Beichuan River and the Nanchuan River, called the Sanchuan River after the confluence, the two of them want to arrive at the Yongning Prefecture City, naturally they are against the Sanchuan River, but before that, they need to pass through the Qinglongdu Town between the ferry and Yongning Prefecture City.
Qinglongdu, is the Liulin County of later generations, at this time the Sanchuan River can be directly connected to the Yellow River along the Sanchuan River from here, and the Ming Dynasty has a patrol department and a castle.
A major battle had just taken place at the ferry east of Wubao County, and the official army had apparently blocked Qinglongdu, and most of the Ming infantry troops who had evacuated from the ferry had stayed in Qinglongdu.
If Gou Fuwei's cavalry has not yet withdrawn to Qinglongdu or Yongning Prefecture, then has the opportunity for the rebels come?
This was the main reason why Long Thirteen was ready to find out about this situation for himself.
If it is according to Zhang Xianzhong's statement, moving north to Linxian, not to mention that the northern section of Gujishan has been occupied by Cao Cao, Buzhen and other sixteen families, there is no extra land for them, and furthermore, the northern section is the jurisdiction of Shanxi Town, which belongs to the heavily guarded place.
The purpose of their previous existence was naturally to guard against the Mongol cavalry who broke through the side pass to attack the grass valley after the Yellow River froze, but they would not be polite if it was to deal with the rogues who were much less effective in combat.
Qinglongdu Fort, a radius of about two miles, usually only the inspection department and the people are guarded, but if it is placed in the past, such is neither a guard fort, nor a border pass, even at night the fort door is open.
But when Long Thirteen and Li Zhanchun came here, it was dark for at least an hour, but the fort gate had been closed, but such a fort obviously would not have a moat, and dozens of homeless people had gathered near the fort gate.
Due to the proximity of the thieves, most of the outcasts have probably moved between Yongning Prefecture City and Qinglongdu Fort, and these people have arrived here before the fort gate.
Although most of the Ming army was weak and lazy, they would also be wary of thieves using the homeless people to infiltrate the city in this case, so it is estimated that the city gates were also closed during the day.
Long Thirteen Zang changed several places in a row and carefully observed.
"It seems that the fort was built spontaneously by the locals, or it took a long time to build, and the walls of the fort are extremely irregular, not square, and not round."
"The wall is about three meters high, and from time to time there are figures flashing on it, apparently guarded"
"There are three fortress gates in the south, one in the north and one in the east, there is no city gate on the west side of the mountain, the city gate is wooden, there is a city gate tower at the door, but it is smaller than the regular city, and it is estimated that it can garrison one or twenty soldiers."
"The guards on the northern, western, and southern walls of the castle flashed from time to time, and there were few people on this side of the Sanchuan River."
"Near the east gate is the wharf, which is a section of the river bank is made of polished neat stone embankment and wharf, about 100 meters long, there is a small fort on the wharf, presumably it is where the inspection department is located, the inspection department, known as the inspection, extorting money from pedestrians and merchants is the right business"
"Yes, since the small fort at the ferry port is guarded by the inspection department, this section of the city wall is almost not guarded."
"Right now, it's freezing cold, and the Sanchuan River is also freezing solid, do you have to cross the castle from Qinglong? Won't get around the ice? ”
When it was almost dark, Long 13 deliberately touched the opposite side of Qinglong Castle to check it, and only then did he understand.
Originally, this section of the Sanchuan River centered on Qinglongdu, the river bank is steep and about five zhang high, and the Qinglong Ferry is made of stone masonry steps, and the wharf where the real boats are moored is still below.
If someone wants to conquer the fort from the side of the river, they must take the patrol fort, or make a detour of dozens of meters upstream and downstream, but in that case, they will have to face two gates, south and north.
Therefore, if you want to take this fort, you must conquer the south, north, and east gates.
Even so, such a small fort with a circumference of only two miles can be completely locked up once it goes around the south and north gates when the Sanchuan River freezes in winter, so that it cannot escape and report the news.
Such a fort, not to mention the city defense facilities, it is estimated that there are not many sassal wood rolling stones, because it is in the hinterland of Shanxi, but it is just a fort to guard against bandits.
"Two or three hundred baiters will be taken"
"However, my battalion still has a population of several thousand, plus Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses, adding up to tens of thousands, even if you succeed in taking this fort, you won't get too many supplies, not to mention that the Ming army will take such a fort with a little attack."
"Our battalion is currently in a precarious situation, and urgently needs a larger and easier place to defend to rest for a while, Qinglongdu Fort is obviously not good, but if you want to take this fort, you have to pass through this place......
At night, although the gate of the fort was tightly closed, the fort was brightly lit, and obviously there was no curfew, and Long Thirteen's eyes lit up when he saw it.
Finally, he snuck up the hill to the west of the fort and made some explorations.
This mountain is about a few tens of meters away from the fort, and there are potholes nearby, but it is very easy to hide, there is a path leading to the mountain, most of which are used by the residents of the fort to collect firewood on the mountain through this road.
Even so, there is no gate on the side of the mountain, and it is not easy to attack from here.
Although Long Thirteen had gone up the mountain from other places, he did not let his guard down, but when he climbed up, he deliberately dragged through the mountains and forests as he walked, as if he was looking for food like an ordinary homeless person.
Still, he got on the road.
He had just reached the halfway point of the mountain, only to hear a soft whistle, and then a powerful arrow hit him.
He felt a little twisted in an instant, but he endured it, and this section was in his plan.
Sure enough, just as he was about to burp his fart, two people came out of the dense forest in the distance, and Long Thirteen remembered their location.
The one who can arrange a secret sentry in such a place will obviously not be a patrol department that knows how to make money, but a regular Ming army!
"The emulator is restarting ......"
"Simulator restart is 60% complete"
"Simulator restart 80% complete"
"Emulator reboot complete!"
This time, Long Thirteen still did not call Li Zhanchun, but once again wiped the mountain alone.
He's burping again!
Third ......
As the saying goes, there are only three things, and finally on the fourth time, he finally figured out the secret sentry on the mountain—in the deepest part of the mountainside, there was an extremely dense forest, and the forest was covered with all kinds of shrubs and wild grasses, among which three pine trees seemed to be entangled and growing upward.
Between the three pine trees, there was a shack where the sentry took advantage of the bushes to make a shack, and there were three people, one of whom hid in a large tree to investigate, and the other two stayed in the shack.
The place where the three pine trees are located is surrounded by a flat land of about one acre, although there are some pine trees, but at least within a range of more than ten meters, any intrusion into this flat land will be unobstructed.
And if Dragon Thirteen wanted to accurately observe the situation inside the castle, he had to go up to this flat ground.
This time, Long Thirteen called Li Zhanchun.
Although they were disguised as outcasts, they obviously did not bring nothing, each of them had a short knife hidden in a tattered linen jacket, and not far from the fort, they also hid two goose feather knives, two pairs of bows and arrows, and a set of tiger claw flying lines.
Opened the simulator and looked at the time, around half past six, it was the time when it was dark and slightly dark, and at this time, it was also the time when the person who was watching from the tree came down to change shifts, according to the nature of the Ming army, they would not climb up to take over the observation as soon as they came.
Their "handover" will take at least a quarter of an hour!
What's more, at this time, only one person continued to stay in the shack, and the other two people (who were changing shifts) were standing outside.
Although they were squatting, their gray-brown clothes hidden in the bushes, Long Thirteen, after three "restarts", had completely figured out their location and pointed it out to Li Zhanchun.
One man and one arrow, aimed at the back of the head!
It is said that of the thirty cavalry who followed Li Zicheng to Long Thirteen, in fact, only Li Zhanchun was able to be called skilled in archery and horse, and the rest were all horseback cavalry.
Long Thirteen asked Li Zhanchun to come with him this time, on the one hand, to get close to him and investigate him, and on the other hand, naturally to get closer.
The downwind position (in order to avoid being smelled), the twilight is hazy, about twenty meters away, and if you miss the shot again, Dragon Thirteen can directly restart back to the initial state.
"Whew......"
The bow is like a full moon, and the light arrows of the conical arrows are gone!
Both arrows hit the target!
It also hit the back of the head directly!
This is a force value of 78 of the dragon thirteen and 80 of Li Zhanchun shot at close range, at this time, if your force value is above 75, you basically have the qualification to serve as the head of the post (fifty people), such a distance is shot, or the back of the head, basically the Da Luo Immortal is difficult to save.
When the arrow was fired, Long Thirteen quickly lurked near the shack, while Li Zhanchun sneaked in from the front.
Sure enough, the sound of the two men falling to the ground with arrows brought out the man hiding in the shack!
This person was obviously the leader of the three, and he was still wearing a suit of leather armor, but as soon as he got out of the shack, he was shot by Long Thirteen with an arrow in his thigh, and just as he endured the pain to find the direction of Long Thirteen, Li Zhanchun pounced!
There is no suspense, in front of two people with a force value of about 80, this person is captured.
This is a Shanxi town that does not collect at night.
From his mouth, Long Thirteen got the news of Qinglongdu Town and Yongning Prefecture City.
