Chapter Ninety-Four: Chasing the Soul for a Thousand Miles, Waiting for the Enemy is in vain
That night, King Jinlun and Xiao Xiangzi did not sleep, and each occupied a watchtower, and watched from above, paying attention to the movements in the camp at any time, so as to find the assassin and catch him.
But Yin Zhiping is not so stupid, he just assassinated last night, which made the Mongolian camp on guard, how can he continue tonight. And last night was the first operation, and although it was very successful, it was originally in the nature of testing the waters for the first time. Now that we are successful, we naturally have to sum up our experience. And this time it was Yin Zhiping and Li Mochou, who had the highest martial arts. If it were someone else, it might not have been.
Seven days after the first operation, Yin Zhifang approved the second operation. This time, it was no longer his New Year's branch that was in charge of the action, but the February branch. He planned to let the remaining eleven branches, under his supervision and guidance, complete an assassination training, so that they would be allowed to go their own way and act separately.
However, Yin Zhiping did not completely lead the first training assassination of the February branch, but let his branch choose its own targets and formulate plans based on intelligence analysis. He just focused on the plan, improved the leadership, and provided advice. We will supervise and guide them as they go, and we will respond and support them when needed.
The target selected by the February branch this time is a Mongolian commander, which is also what Yin Zhiping explained to all the branches, telling them to do what they can, not to compare with him, and not to be afraid of the target chosen for the first time, the most important thing is to have a perfect plan and a grasp of success.
Captain Wan's status in the Mongolian army is actually not low, and Yin Zhiping's so-called small goal is only relative to Kublai Khan, the commander of the Mongolian army. He was the leader of the people, and he was the first to strike. You can't be too complacent, and the target is too small. The position of Captain is just right.
However, although he explained this to the branches, the rest of the branches could not just pick a small soldier of the Mongolian army for the sake of the success rate. or the captain, the chief, and the like, all made up their minds that at least they were centurions.
In February, the branch drew up a plan based on the successful experience of Yin Zhiping's first operation, and most of the branch's manpower was also used to take charge of response, cover, and distraction from the Mongolian army by setting fire to the rest of the place when the operation failed and was discovered by the Mongolian army. There are only two people who are really in charge of the action, and they are Meng Changfeng, the hall master with the highest martial arts in the February Branch, and another good player.
That Meng Changfeng is known as chasing souls for thousands of miles, and his light skills are really unique, and he is quite good at tracking, making him a good knife. He once chased and killed a thief who committed a bloody murder for thousands of miles. Eventually kill him. His name of chasing souls for thousands of miles came from this incident.
This time in the February branch, the crowd was almost still pouring out. Yin Zhiping took Li Mochou to take charge of the escort and supervise and guide the operation of the February branch. The rest of the branches are still in the name of observation and learning, to see if the first action of the February branch can be successful. Success can learn from experience, failure can also understand where they failed, learn from the lesson, and pay more attention when it is their turn to divide the church, so as to avoid the lessons of the past.
However, I had already participated in the New Year's branch before. So this time, Yin Zhiping ordered Li Zhichang to lead most of the people of the New Year's branch to stay in the village.
In the camp of the Mongolian army, King Jinlun, Xiao Xiangzi and others stayed awake for three nights in succession, but they never saw the assassins come to assassinate again. In the end, he was impatient and withdrew. They kept vigil at night. Although they can rest during the day, their identities and statuses are different after all, and Kublai Khan treats them with courtesy. How can you be like a small soldier, keeping a sleepless vigil every night? And such a thousand days to prevent thieves. It's not always a magic way.
It was not easy for them to keep vigil for three nights in a row. Kublai Khan was also embarrassed to ask the Golden Wheel Dharma King to continue the vigil with the respect of the national teacher, although Xiao Xiangzi and others were not as good as the Golden Wheel Dharma King, but they were also martial arts masters, and they had their own dignity, and they could not do such small soldiers' things. On the fourth day, Kublai Khan asked them not to continue. He only ordered his subordinates to strengthen their guards, and they also strengthened their night patrols. At the same time, he ordered someone to move the tent of King Jinlun and Xiao Xiangzi and others to his tent. In the name, it was convenient to ask for benefits nearby, but in fact, he was naturally afraid that the assassin would sneak into the camp to assassinate him, and he wanted these five masters to be closer to him.
Except for Ma Guangzuo, who is a stupid big man, the Golden Wheel Dharma King is very sensitive and can guess Kublai Khan's intentions, but they don't say anything about it, so as not to look bad on Kublai Khan's face. Kublai Khan's identity is different, but he is the grandson of Genghis Khan, the son of Tuolei, who was the supervisor of Mongolia, and his dignity is abnormal, and they should deign to be a guard for Kublai Khan, but it is not unavoidable. And if the assassin really came to assassinate Kublai Khan, they could save Kublai Khan's life, which would naturally be a great achievement.
Since then, the Golden Wheel Dharma King, Xiao Xiangzi and others have moved their tents to the tent of Kublai Khan's Chinese army commander, but they do not need to stay up all night to guard them. Kublai Khan's big tent of the Chinese army was already tightly defended, in front of the tent and behind the tent, left, right, and on all sides, it was guarded day and night, and it was impossible for the assassins to touch Kublai Khan's big tent silently.
If you want to go straight to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army to assassinate, you must alert the guards guarding the tent on all sides. And with the vigilance of King Jinlun and others, even if they are asleep, as long as there is a slight abnormal noise, they will be awakened immediately, so there is no need to stay awake all night and always guard. As long as you hear an unusual noise, wake up and go out of the tent to see what is going on. No matter how high the assassin's martial arts were, it would never be possible to solve all the pro-army guards outside Kublai Khan's tent and break into the tent in the blink of an eye.
It's just that King Jinlun, Xiao Xiangzi and others, and even Kublai Khan, how could they have expected that the assassins were not alone, but a whole team. And every time he assassinated, there was a careful plan and arrangement in advance, and it was not a random move, and when the interest came, he broke through and assassinated a general.
Yin Zhiping decided to wait until seven days later to carry out the second operation, that is, to let the Mongolian army start to relax its defense after several days of strict defense, but there was no movement. Human beings are flesh and blood, not robots, and cannot always crumble and clench. There must be tightness and looseness, and no one can stand it all the time in a state of tension. Not only physically, but also psychologically. After seven days of intense defense, everyone collapsed, but there was no movement, and even if the Mongolian army on patrol at night had no complaints, they would unconsciously relax psychologically.
Because of this, the operation of the February branch was also unusually smooth. The hall master, Meng Changfeng, and another good hand infiltrated in, assassinated the target, and then cut off the head and sneaked out, without alerting any Mongolian soldiers.
Of course, the reason is not only that the Mongol soldiers who patrol at night have begun to slacken, but also that the Golden Wheel Dharma King and Xiao Xiangzi and others have been transferred back to protect Kublai Khan after three consecutive nights, and no longer wait for the enemy in the sentry tower. Otherwise, if there were masters such as King Jinlun and Xiao Xiangzi watching from the watchtower, Meng Changfeng and the others would definitely not be able to sneak in so smoothly and without being discovered.
Also, there is a careful plan in advance. At the same time, Meng Changfeng, who was directly responsible for the operation, and another good hand were not weak in martial arts, and they were both quite good at light skills. Moreover, the target they chose was also in the border area of the big battalion, and they had not penetrated deeply. (To be continued.) )
