In the tent, Li Zhen sat on the main seat of the rectangular conference table, with Huang Shihai and Yang Banhou sitting on his left hand, and Huang Hu and Lan Weiwen on his right. At present, there are only these four people under Li Zhen's command, and Lan Weiwen has just taken it for her own use, and she has not completely returned to her heart. Li Zhen's strength still seems to be very weak.

Li Zhen said: "The foreigners' affairs are over, and the next thing is to attack Shanghai." ”

Lan Weiwen immediately asked: "My lord, I'm afraid it's a little difficult for you to not let foreigners interfere in Shanghai's affairs." There were artillery in the barracks, but they were rusty. Without enough artillery fire to open the gates of Shanghai, it will be difficult to capture Shanghai. With only the more than 900 soldiers you brought, it is a little difficult to even climb the city wall, I wonder what the adults are going to do? ”

Yang Banhou said worriedly: "General, is there a good plan?" ”

Huang Hu didn't care, and said with a grin: "The general is brilliant in resourcefulness, and he only needs to use his brain a little to come up with a way to break through Shanghai." More than 900 soldiers carrying foreign guns into the city, and the knives will surely fall into the water. ”

Li Zhen smiled and said: "There is indeed a way, but you have to go deep into the tiger's den and sneak into the city." ”

Huang Shihai said in a deep voice: "My lord, you mean to capture the thief and capture the king, and go to the city to solve Liu Lichuan." ”

"Yes, that's what I intended."

Li Zhen glanced at Huang Shihai appreciatively and felt that Huang Shihai was worth cultivating.

Huang Shihai frowned, his expression suddenly dimmed, and said: "My lord, let's not talk about whether you can kill Liu Lichuan, just with the city wall of Shanghai County, there are countless guards in the city, it is very difficult to sneak into the city. Even if he sneaks into the city, Liu Lichuan must have guards around him to protect him, plus Liu Lichuan is from the Heaven and Earth Society, and he is also a family practitioner and has martial arts. ”

After a pause, Huang Shihai said again: "The most important thing is that Liu Lichuan still has people from the Miao Gang, the Tangqiao Gang, and the Bailong Party around him, these people can do martial arts, and it is extremely difficult to assassinate Liu Lichuan. ”

Before coming to Shanghai, Huang Shihai sent someone to inquire about the situation and knew a lot about the knife.

Li Zhen said: "Shihai, your mind is always thinking about hand-to-hand combat, and you haven't been able to broaden your horizons. With a sniper rifle, we have a buffer distance that allows us to calmly retreat after shooting an enemy. And the bullet shoots, no matter if he is a golden bell jar or an iron cloth shirt, no matter what kind of martial arts he practices, no matter how strong his martial arts are, a single bullet is enough to kill a person with outstanding martial arts. ”

Huang Shihai said again: "Even so, you can't risk yourself." ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "I'm just a small general, not a noble body, why can't I take risks?" As long as you can take Shanghai, you can act. ”

Yang Banhou said: "My lord, the last general will sneak into the city with you. ”

Li Zhen nodded and ordered: "In this operation, Ban Hou and I will select the ten strongest soldiers from the Sharp Knife Special Forces to enter the city together. When it gets dark, we get moving. Enter the city, and then shoot the main characters of the Knife Society one by one, so that the Knife Society is leaderless and chaotic. Shihai, you are familiar with military affairs, and you can suppress the soldiers in the camp and guard the camp with Huang Hu. ”

Huang Shihai glanced at Lan Weiwen next to him and agreed directly.

After a pause, Huang Shihai asked, "General, after you shot Liu Lichuan and the others, the small knife will be leaderless." Once the situation in the city becomes chaotic, it is time to attack. But we are outside the city, and we can't find out what's going on inside the city, so how can we be sure? ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "If I complete the task, I will shoot three times in a row, and the interval between each shot is one minute." ”

"A minute?"

Huang Shihai blinked, confused.

When Li Zhen saw Huang Shihai's expression, he thought that Huang Shihai had never touched a clock. At that moment, Li Zhen took out the pocket watch given to him by Maas from his arms, handed the pocket watch to Huang Shihai, pointed to the second hand on the pocket watch, and said slowly: "When there is a gunshot in the city, you look at the position of the longest needle, and it turns in a circle, which is one minute." Earn two laps, that's two minutes. So you stare at the position of the second hand, wait for it to turn around, and then you hear the gunshot, and you're almost sure. ”

Huang Shihai suddenly realized and said, "The last general understands. ”

Li Zhen said: "If I lead people to sneak into the city, I will definitely shoot many people." You don't have to worry about the gunshot at the beginning. For your convenience, I will give you another appointment, you can ignore the gunfire on the first day, and you need to pay attention to the sound of the second day. If you wait for a minute, you can determine the time to attack the city. ”

Huang Shihai nodded frequently, and then carefully put the pocket watch in his arms.

This pocket watch was given to Li Zhen by Mas, and Huang Shihai knew that it was very precious and did not dare to be careless. After finalizing the plan, Li Zhen got up and went to the barracks of the Sharp Knife Special Forces. The current sharp knife special forces soldiers are already reading and can read. In addition, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Special Forces are all elite people, and they can be regarded as having a foundation.

Although there is no training at present, Li Zhen has no choice but to catch the ducks on the shelves.

When the foundation is stable, there is time for special training.

Ten soldiers were easily selected, and when these soldiers heard that they were going to sneak into Shanghai with Li Zhen to carry out the mission, they were not only not the slightest afraid, but extremely excited.

In the afternoon, Li Zhen asked Huang Shihai to send people to look at the dead corners of the Shanghai City Tower.

With a dead end, Li Zhen has a chance to climb.

It only took an hour for the soldiers sent to inquire about the news to find out that there were eight dead spots on the city tower, and they could easily sneak into the city. From this, it can also be seen that although the knife club is huge, there are not many people who are really proficient in the art of war, otherwise it would be impossible to leave so many dead ends.

After nightfall, it gets dark.

It's already the end of October, and it's almost November.

The weather was cold and the night was as dark as ink.

Li Zhen, Yang Banhou and the ten soldiers of the Sharp Knife Special Forces were all wearing cotton jackets and black night clothes, covering their faces. Not only that, Li Zhen also asked everyone to carry a red headscarf with them, as well as ordinary coarse linen clothes. Because there is a clear sign of the people of the Knife Society, the soldiers are wrapped in red cloth with their heads.

Li Zhen led people to sneak into the city to prepare for action, and it was necessary to change clothes.

In the dark night, there was a faint light flickering on the castle tower, and I could barely see the situation clearly.

Li Zhen, Yang Banhou and others were all standing under the city wall, and the city tower in this place was a corner, and there were no soldiers from the Little Knife Society stationed there. Li Zhen took out a thumb-thick rope from his waist, which was a hook rope specially climbed on. Just throw a sharp iron hook onto the castle tower and grasp the edge of the city wall to climb the castle tower.

Li Zhen commanded in a deep voice: "Banhou, you and the rest of the people are waiting under the city. I'll go up and find out, and then I'll whistle up on it, and you'll come up again. ”

"The last will understand."

Yang Banhou replied and nodded solemnly.
