Chapter 1234: Surprise Attack Plan
The tacit understanding between the officers and soldiers on both sides of the Yangtze River made the thief leader Wang Zamao very puzzled, he thought that the officers and soldiers on the east bank were cooperating with the crossing of the river on the west bank, where did he think that the gongs and drums on the other side were actually just to cover the east bank and seize the city.
As for why he can cooperate with such a tacit understanding, it is naturally Chang Yu's precautions, as early as a few days ago he decided to lead the Nanjing soldiers and horses out of the city to fight south, and when the reinforcements of Gao Jie and others on the west bank secretly went straight to Anqing, he formulated a perfect information transmission channel: several intelligence points were set up on both sides of the Yangtze River to ensure that the information could be transmitted to each other at the first time.
At the same time as the guards left Dangtu, there were scouts who crossed the river to the other side to deliver information, so that they pretended to cross the river tonight to cover the surprise attack on the east bank and capture the city.
At this time, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, and Liu Liangzuo had led troops and horses to Anqing along the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Liang and Lu Zhenfei were responsible for responding to the response.
In order to prevent the thieves from crossing the river to investigate the reality of the officers and soldiers, Lu Zhenfei ordered the blockade of the river, and the military and civilian forces set up a blockade line along the coast for more than 10 miles, prohibiting ships from launching and similarly prohibiting ships from docking.
This move was extremely fruitful, and the thief troops who crossed the river one after another were captured, so that Wang Zamao on the other side lost his eyes and ears, and he could not figure out the reality of the officers and soldiers at all, so that he was convinced that there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on the other side sharpening their knives.
But the scouts of the officers and soldiers can come and go freely, from when Tudu to the other side there are fast horses to send Lu Zhenfei in a hurry, the officers and soldiers who heard that they had just killed a little eunuch in the afternoon and wanted to attack Wuhu City despite the fatigue of the soldiers, Lu Zhenfei and Zhang Xiandang were shocked, and they both felt incredible.
It's also too risky!
But he admired the courage of the little eunuch.
It is unknown whether the little eunuch can succeed in the surprise attack, but Lu Zhenfei and Zhang Liang are going to do their best to make a good show and cover it, and immediately mobilize the people along the river to start playing, more than 2,000 people braved the rain on the riverside to make various actions, and they lit fires and lights and beat gongs and drums and ferry boats, which successfully attracted Wang Zamao's attention.
Besides, after dozens of horsemen went out of the city to cross the Guxi River in the rain from Dangtu, they went south along the Qingshan River in the east to avoid the official road, the purpose was to avoid the thieves as much as possible, but even so, they still encountered several waves of suspicious targets on the way, and of course they were killed without hesitation.
When it was dark, dozens of horsemen had arrived at the riverside a few miles east of Wuhu, and everyone found a forest to build a grass hut to shelter from the rain and rest, this breath ran for seventy miles, it was really tired, and then there was a heavy task to seize the city, and it was necessary to recover his strength as soon as possible.
At this time, I didn't know the depth of Wuhu, so I decided to take my three brothers to find out the bottom, and the four of them dressed up a little and braved the rain to go west for a few miles, and as for the Biandan River in the east of Wuhu City, they found a secluded place to hide the war horses, and then crossed the river and touched Wuhu City.
At this time, the sky was dark, the rain was not only strong, there was almost no one outside the city, and the four of them scattered the corners of the city, and there was no danger to touch the city wall, looked around, and secretly said hello.
Maybe it's because of the rain, or maybe the thieves are too careless, and the city is dark at this time, and there are no patrols or watchmen, maybe they are hiding in the city caves to gamble and drink.
There are good climbers in the guards, and with the help of flying claws, they can easily climb over the wall, and if the city gates are closed, they can use this trick to sneak into the city.
The four people were sent to the outside of the west city gate to listen to the sound for a while, crawled in the crack of the door to see the pitch black, and it was expected that there was no one to handle here, so the soldiers were divided into two roads, the north and the south and the two gates were touched, and then found that the south gate was also unguarded, and the north gate was closed but there were more than ten thieves on duty in the door hole.
The most surprising thing for them is that the west gate is open and hidden, and occasionally people enter and exit, and then they realize that at this time, the main force of the thief army is on the west side of the city to defend against the enemy, and it is the most convenient to enter and exit from the west gate, and it has also become the only entrance and exit of the city at this time, which is also their goal.
At this time, the city gate was closed but I didn't know whether it was locked, and the lights could be seen from the crack in the door, and the thieves inside could be heard shouting, laughing and scolding, and there were many messy wooden sheds on both sides of the city gate, and there were many refugees hiding in it to avoid the rain......
"Boss, do you enter through the wall through the east gate, or do you go straight through here?" A subordinate asked in a low voice, and he frowned and made a mistake in his heart, if Cheng Cheng climbed over the east gate and entered, the city wall was seven or eight meters high, and it was raining and slippery, and it was not difficult for a few of his subordinates to be good at climbing the wall, but what about the others? If it is found to be a failure.
But if you go directly through the west gate, you must first make sure that there is no lock inside, if everything is locked in vain, if there is no lock, how many thieves are there in the lock? And once the robbers here will inevitably alarm the riverside thief army, they will immediately organize a counterattack, and after entering the city, they will divide their troops to guard the other three gates, otherwise as long as the thief army enters from any gate, all the efforts will be in vain.
But the problem is that they only have less than 100 people, how to guard the four gates, if there are too many thieves in the city, they are not afraid to fight, but they are overstretched if they have to guard the gates, once the thieves outside rush in, they will not be able to escape.
Speaking of which, there is a shortage of manpower to take the city, and it is too difficult to defend the city.
"Since the Governor has sent me and others to take the city, there will be a backhand, and we will not let our brothers die in vain!" Guo Ren gritted his teeth: "Don't think too much, just do our work well, Yang Lao Er, you go back to call people, it is best to send brothers to the north to report that you can bring reinforcements, Zhang Qing, you take a few brothers to climb over the wall from the east city to seal the east gate, and then see the opportunity to take the south gate, and the rest of the brothers will attack the west gate with me, and go to the north gate immediately after taking the door...... As long as we hold the four gates firmly, the thieves outside can't enter, even if there are thousands of eight hundred of us in the city, we can crush him, at least until the reinforcements of the Governor."
"Besides, boss, you also look at those thieves, where did they come from, there are so many people, didn't the spies say, the total number of thieves in Wuhu is only two or three thousand, and hundreds of them were killed by us in Dangtu, and the rest are estimated to be pulled to the west of the river at this time, and there are at most some stinky fish and rotten shrimp left in this city" Zhang Qing smiled, and several people also felt that what he said was reasonable.
Then Yang Lao Er and Zhang Qing left, Guo Ren observed left and right, and would take another subordinate to walk towards the city gate boldly, at this time the night is not deep, many refugees near the city gate are not asleep, from time to time there is a whisper, Guo Ren put on a coat and walked to the edge of a grass shed next to the city gate, and saw that there were five or six people squatting inside, all of whom hung their heads as if they were asleep, so they lowered their heads and got in, leaned on the edge and squeezed it, and was immediately reprimanded by one of the people inside: "Who are you, drill into it......"
"Shut up the hell for Lao Tzu, and then shout to kill you believe it or not" Guo Ren's subordinates said viciously, the homeless people were afraid and didn't dare to speak out again, and involuntarily leaned in to make some room for the two of them, and when Guan Ren squeezed around and looked around thinking about how to get close to the city gate to snoop, he suddenly heard someone talking inside, and then the city gate was wide open, and a few war horses slowly walked out, and he was so frightened that he quickly shrank his neck, and saw that the horse was looking at him, and his heart couldn't help but get nervous.
Fortunately, the man only glanced at it, and then hit his horse and rushed towards the west riverbank, and he exhaled a long breath and drilled out of the grass hut and looked due west, vaguely seeing the lights beating in the distance, I don't know whether it was on the other side or on this side of the river, but he already knew in his heart that he must be on the other side of the river and pretended to create an opportunity for himself.
"Boss, while the door is not closed, let's rush in" The subordinate touched the handle of the knife in his coat and whispered, and glanced at the city gate and saw that it was not tight, and his heart was entangled, if it was a fierce man like Mr. Wu or Tu Yuan, he could take the door with his own strength, but he was only good at shooting the invincible courage of those two people, if he really rushed in, it was estimated that he would become meat in the blink of an eye.
However, this is the right time to close the conversation later...... As soon as his mind moved, there was a click on the side of the city gate, followed by the sound of the door being shut......
This...... The situation was extremely frustrated, and he stomped his foot and got into the grass shed, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he gave himself another punch, and his subordinates persuaded in a low voice: "Let's talk about it when Yang Lao Er and they come, maybe there will be a chance."
