Chapter 90: It will be overwhelming
Because it was a surprise attack, more than 100 brothers were not wearing armor, and all of them traveled lightly, and in order to distinguish between friend and foe at night, each of them had a white cloth wrapped around their arms.
The only weapons he carried were small bows and short knives, and the equipment he carried was a bundle of sturdy long ropes.
Before setting out, a dozen brothers who were good at climbing were selected, and their task was to climb up the cliff with a rope on their backs, quietly solve the possible sentries on it, and then hang down the rope for others to climb up with the rope.
This is the most critical step, but also the most dangerous step, and the success of the surprise attack plan depends on them.
"Brothers, you must be careful, we are here Gong Heihu has not noticed yet, so the big guy doesn't have to be too anxious to act, slow down, anyway, the dog thief can't run...... Safety first. Xiao Chen inquired about their names one by one, patted his shoulders and gently admonished.
Several people were greatly moved, and said in unison that they would definitely complete the task and never disappoint Lord Xiao's expectations!
"Don't worry, adults, the little ones have been collecting medicine in the mountains since they were children, and no matter how steep the cliffs are!"
"The small family used to collect honey, and such a small hillside is like walking on the ground!"
"The little ones are different from them, I was born to be good at climbing, and they all say that the little ones are the reincarnation of monkeys!"
These dozen or so people are all brave soldiers carefully selected by Lin Yue, and they have always been brave in battle, but at this moment, none of them are flustered, and they can still laugh out loud, and their psychological quality is very good.
But everyone knows how dangerous it is to climb such a cliff in the dark, and it would be nice if half of these dozen brothers could reach the peak......
With Xiao Chen's order, more than a dozen people immediately used their hands and feet together, climbing up like geckos.
The big guy held his breath, looked up, and held a cold sweat in his heart.
Suddenly, a fierce mountain wind rolled up, blowing down the two people who had only climbed halfway, and with two muffled sounds, they fell into the mountain rocks, and directly fell into two lumps of flesh.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them were driven by a thick Tengman blown by the wind, and they fell down together and died.
One of them happened to fall next to Xiao Chen, who was already dead, but his eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide open.
Several of them did not make a sound until they died......
After about three incense sticks, the remaining brothers finally managed to reach the top and dropped the rope.
Originally, Wei Yuntian wanted to carry Xiao Chen on his back, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that Xiao Chen had climbed halfway up the mountain along a rope hand and foot, this action looked sharper than me, could it be that the boss also collected medicine at home before?
After a while, all the big guys successfully climbed to the top of the peak, squatting in the grass and could see that about ten meters in front of them, there was a walled city made of wood, and two dead wind lanterns were hung at the gate of the walled city, swaying back and forth in the wind......
Gong Heihu relied on the time and place of Black Tiger Mountain, and he had been entrenched here for many years, and no one dared to attack, so it was inevitably a little floating.
In fact, there was a two-person sentry on the edge of the cliff, but these two did not patrol along the perimeter at all, but found a sheltered pothole to sleep, and they were cut off and did not wake up......
If these two sentinels can fulfill their duties, Xiao Chen and their surprise attack will only fail.
As soon as they heard the movement and shouted loudly, the accomplices in the walled city would immediately be alert!
You don't have to kill it, as long as the gate of the walled city is closed tightly, and a random arrow is shot, Xiao Chen and they will all become arrow targets!
So there was a general who once famously said: no matter how perfect a plan, there will be at least a thousand holes!
It can succeed only because of good luck.
Xiao Chen's luck has always been good.
"Lin Yue, are you sure that Gong Heihu and their people are all in the walled city?" Xiao Chen asked softly.
"It's basically certain that the mountain is humid and muggy, and there are a lot of mosquitoes and beasts, so it is not suitable for long-term residence, so except for some scattered sentry posts, most of the people are in the walled city, at least Gong Heihu must be there." Lin Yue had captured the little minions of Black Tiger Mountain and interrogated him, so he could be sure.
"Lord Xiao, the enemy is outnumbered, it is not appropriate to attack, it is windy tonight, I think it is better to take advantage of the wind to give them a fire and burn them all to death." Chen Ming suggested.
"What Lord Chen said is extremely true, so it is the safest." Lin Yue and Yue Zhonglin immediately nodded in agreement.
"Where is their food?" Xiao Chen asked.
"There are so many damp rats down the hill that they can't store food, so their granaries are also built in the walled city...... There it is! Lin Yue pointed to a dozen tall and spiky buildings in the walled city.
"Then you can't attack with fire!" Xiao Chen came for food, but he couldn't burn it all.
"Lord Xiao wants to leave this food to help the refugees." Wei Yuntian explained.
"Oh...... Lord Xiao is really a Buddha with a kind heart. Lin Yue's words were not sincere and sincere praise for Xiao Chen, but there was an extraneous meaning.
The implication is that Ci does not lead soldiers!
We are here to destroy the enemy, so naturally we have to use the safest way of attack, how can we risk a little food?
Although we are lucky enough to touch it, we are half the battle, but don't forget that there are more than 500 people on the other side, and all of them are brave!
You also said that this is a surprise attack, and the emphasis is on surprise, if you go head-to-head with them, the outcome is unknown, even if you win by luck, it will be a heavy casualty!
However, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind, and after a moment of silence, he began to order.
Ordered Wei Yuntian to lead twenty Xichang brothers to sneak in from the left side of the gate, and don't care about anything else, just occupy the granary first, in case Gong Heihu and his dog jump over the wall and burn it down.
Let ten more brothers who are good at crossbow arrows occupy the commanding heights of the granary, and once the action begins, they can shoot freely and accurately to cover the other brothers...... In fact, it is the function of a sniper.
Ordered Chen Ming to lead twenty brocade guard brothers to sneak in from the right side of the gate, a row of wooden houses on the right side are all barracks, you must quietly climb the roof and stand by, wait until the action begins, condescending, and try to shoot the thieves rushing out from all directions.
Ordered Yue Zhonglin to lead twenty people to lurk behind the walled city, and when the action began, he was killed.
Deploy ten sharpshooters in the grass around the walled city, shoot the sentries on the walled towers on both sides of the gate first, and when our operation officially begins, we can shoot the enemy with arrows freely.
He himself and Lin Yue led the remaining thirty brothers directly from the main gate to the barracks, and while the thieves were asleep, they went in and slashed ......
"Lord Xiao, I have a suggestion, I don't know if I should talk about it?" Yue Zhonglin said suddenly.
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." Xiao Chen was a little surprised.
"Lord Xiao, it's the south wind now, their barracks are in the north, and the granary is in the south, even if we set a fire in the barracks, it won't affect the granary......" Yue Zhonglin said busily.
"Well, that makes sense." Xiao Chen took his opinion after a little thought, "Then Yuntian, you don't have to go to the room after you sneak in, just set fire to me, we big guys will all use the fire as a sign and attack at the same time!" ”
