Since he discovered that the newly transferred tens of thousands of Taiping Army were all old and weak soldiers, Wu Chaoyue immediately guessed the real purpose of the Taiping Army's bluffing - to lure the Qing army to focus on Shence Gate, and to lure the Jiangning defenders to concentrate their elite soldiers and generals on Shence Gate, and then take the opportunity to attack other city gates in Jiangning City. Shence Gate looks the most dangerous here, but in fact it is the safest!

Understanding this, Wu Chaoyue's various worries that had been suppressing in his heart for the past few days were immediately wiped out. He knew that he could do nothing next, just eat hot pot and sing songs, and wait for the Taiping Army to enter the city through other city gates, and then he could take Wu Jun to break through and return to Shanghai to reunite with his comprador grandfather! And naturally, whether it should be brought back to Shanghai as a beautiful little widow, Li Fu, was of course also under Wu Chaoyue's consideration.

Things went against my wishes, Wu Chaoyue soon realized that he was still thinking too beautifully. When he hummed *******, he went to Shence Gate. Before Wu Chaoyue could see the situation in the city, Zhang Jigeng, who had just come to help the battle, immediately came up to meet him. Without saying a word, he pulled Wu Chaoyue to the side of the arcade, pointed to the Taiping Army Camp in the distance and said, "Master Wu, look at Changmao's new camp. The situation seems to be something wrong."

"Is there something wrong?" Wu Chaoyue raised his telescope in confusion and looked closely. After only one look, Wu Chaoyue quietly began to complain - the 30,000 new Taiping Army came yesterday, and was actually dumbfounded in the trench. His tactics were obviously based on guarding, so the old and traitor Zhang Jigeng, who was very traitorous, may have already become suspicious.

As expected, Zhang Jigeng said to Wu Chaoyue: "Master Wu, have you not noticed this matter too strange? Changmao's troops are dozens of times that of the Shence Gate defenders. They have built walls and fences, which are enough to resist our army's surprise attacks from the city. Why do we still need to dig the trenches to protect the camp and take a defensive stance, intending to have a long-term stalemate with our army?"

Wu Chaoyue wanted to say that the Taiping Army was cautious in using troops, and was just like playing Go, so he paid attention to the camp fortifications. However, considering that Zhang Jigeng was extremely cunning and participated in the Changsha Battle where the Taiping Army suffered a lot, his understanding of the Taiping Army was still above him. It was very difficult to fool him. Wu Chaoyue changed his mind and simply agreed with Zhang Jigeng: "What Mr. Bingyuan said is very true, and I also think it is a bit strange. It is very wrong to have a big hair but pay attention to defense."

"Master Wu, so in your opinion, why did Changmao do this?" Zhang Jigeng asked again.

"The purpose is nothing more than two." Wu Chaoyue replied without thinking: "First, to lure the enemy, to make our army feel that they are already timid and risk going out of the city to fight them. Second, this long hair just looks a lot of people, but in fact it has very weak combat power, so we must adopt a stable defense tactic."

Unexpectedly, Wu Chaoyue's opinion would be exactly the same as himself. Zhang Jigeng was happy and said hurriedly: "Master Wu, since you think so, should we think of a way to test the real situation of this hairy hair?"

"It should be tested." Wu Chaoyue nodded and said, "But for safety reasons, it is best not to risk sending troops to test it. It is best to arrange a few dead soldiers to leave the city at night, use the night to touch the next to Changmao's new camp, and explore the reality of the long hair at close range."

"Master Wu is very smart, and the students think so too!" Zhang Jigeng was even more happy when he heard it, and then couldn't wait to say: "Master Wu, your elite Lian Yong under your command, how about asking you to arrange a few Lian Yong out of the city to spy on the spy?"

"I had already sent it last night." Wu Chaoyue muttered in his heart, but refused flatly, saying, "No! Mr. Bingyuan, it's not that I can't bear to let my courage take risks, but you also know that I have only more than 400 people in the courage, and every sacrifice of one will directly weaken the overall combat effectiveness, so I can't let them take such a big risk anymore."

After saying that, Wu Chaoyue also said: "And my courage is from Songjiang. Not to mention anything else, it is difficult to get away with the accent alone. If you accidentally encounter a long-haired patrol team when you leave the city, you can't even pretend to be a local. So to be cautious, we'd better arrange a few locals to go out to explore."

"It's reasonable." Zhang Jigeng recognized Wu Chaoyue's opinion and took the initiative to say: "Let's do this, my Jian Yong is all native to Jiangning. I'll choose a few Jian Yong. Tonight, I'll let them go down the city with a rope and touch the long-haired camp to spy on the enemy's situation."

Wu Chaoyue agreed with a smile, but when Zhang Jigeng went to select the city dead soldiers excitedly, Wu Chaoyue cursed in his stomach with his back, "You are a dog traitor who is raised by a bitch, are you cheating on your father? If you really see through the Taiping Army's bluff plan, then you will be disrupted by your plan? Fuck! Since you disrupt, I will make trouble. You must never let this matter be done!"

With the idea of ​​making trouble in his mind, Wu Chaoyue immediately began to plot how to destroy Zhang Jigeng's reconnaissance plan. It was very simple to make trouble. Just let the Taiping Army know that they had revealed flaws, or let the Taiping Army know Zhang Jigeng's reconnaissance plan, and the difficulty is how to do these without disturbing others.

It is certainly a way to use the Arrow Book to invade the Taiping Army, but it is too dangerous to do so. If it is exposed, the trouble will definitely be extraordinary. At the same time, the Taiping Army has been beaten by the Wu army snipers and dare not go to the nearest city to reconnaise. Even if the Arrow Book is shot down the city, it may not be picked up by the Taiping Army soldiers. It is certainly even worse to send Jian Yong out of the city to contact the Taiping Army directly. In a dilemma, Wu Chaoyue really couldn't think of any good way to destroy and make trouble for a while.

While racking his brains, new trouble suddenly came to the door again. Qi Suzao suddenly sent someone to send orders, asking Wu Chaoyue and Zhang Jigeng to immediately reach Yifeng Gate to obey the orders. Wu Chaoyue and Zhang Jigeng had no choice but to put down their work, go down the city to hit the horse and go straight to Yifeng Gate. After arriving at Yifeng Gate, Wu Chaoyue and Zhang Jigeng discovered that Lu Jianying and Xianghou and other Jiangning bosses were here. The two hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Lu Jianying waved his hand and shouted for exemption, and couldn't wait to say to Zhang Jigeng: "Bingyuan, come and see, what the hell is Changmao doing in Jinghai Temple?"

Zhang Jigeng responded to the promise and hurriedly stepped forward with a telescope to observe the situation outside the city. Wu Chaoyue also stepped forward at Qi Suzao's request and also picked up the telescope to observe. As a result, he saw a large number of Taiping troops gathering in the Jinghai Temple area northwest of Yifeng Gate, and was still building a defensive wall. Then Wu Chaoyue, who was inexperienced, was still thinking about the intention of the Taiping Army's move, but Zhang Jigeng's face changed drastically and exclaimed: "No! Changmao is digging tunnels again! Changmao imagines attacking Changsha and digging tunnels to the foot of the city wall, burying gunpowder to blow down the city wall!"

"It turns out that the real main attack direction of the Taiping Army was at Yifeng Gate." Wu Chaoyue was overjoyed - Yifeng Gate is more than eight miles away from Shence Gate. If Yifeng Gate is broken, Wu Chaoyue will naturally have more time to respond and retreat.

"Bingyuan, how do you be sure that Changmao is trying to attack the city?" Qi Suzao next to him asked quickly.

"It's very simple." Zhang Jigeng pointed to the construction site of the Taiping Army and said: "Changmao did not have any vehicles to transport soil and stones to Jinghai Temple. Changmao on the other side of Jinghai Temple was building walls with rammed earth. It was obvious that it was made from local materials and built walls with the soil dug out of the tunnel."

After carefully looking at the telescope, he found that the situation was indeed the case. Wu Chaoyue felt even more distressed. Zhang Jigeng continued to disgust Wu Chaoyue, and immediately said to Lu Jianying and others: "Lu-made platform, Qi Fantai, many miners in the Changmao army have a soil camp that is responsible for digging tunnels. He is best at siegeing the city. Wuchang City was broken by Changmao. Now Changmao is digging tunnels on Yifeng Gate, which is enough to prove that Changmao's real main attack battlefield is Yifeng Gate. Yifeng Gate must immediately strengthen its defense to prevent accidents!"

"How to strengthen?" Qi Suzao asked again quickly.

"First, open a deep trench and build an inner wall, so that long hair can break into the outer wall and cannot enter the city." Zhang Jigeng suggested: "Second, Yifengmen will increase its troops. It is best to transfer the Songjiang regiment trainer, head of Wu, to strengthen the troops of Yifengmen, to give full play to the advantages of Songjiang regiment training in the firepower and shootouts, and cooperate with the fortifications to defend the city to annihilate the coming enemies!"

Hearing this, Wu Chaoyue certainly wanted to strangle Zhang Jigeng to death on the spot, but fortunately, Lu Jianying's biggest advantage was that he couldn't listen to the correct opinions, so he immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's not certain whether Changmao is digging tunnels. Can he immediately demolish the houses and walls in the city? Also, the war at Shence Gate is even more intense, so how can he draw troops from there?"

"What the Mainland Platform said is very true." General Xianghou, the Jiangning general who has always made Wu Chaoyue hate, suddenly became cute and said, "The defense of the 13th Gate of Jiangning has been arranged. Although the war has been tight these days, it has never given Changmao a chance to break into the city, which is enough to prove that our city defense deployment is correct and effective. Rampantly adjusting the deployment of the defenders will inevitably reveal flaws and give Changmao an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Zhang Jigeng was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet. He quickly introduced the suspicious signs he found at the Shence Sect to Lu Jianying and others, and then said: "Lu Jiantai, General Xiang, if it is really as speculated by students and Master Wu, Changmao continues to increase troops to the Shence Sect, but the old and weak soldiers are sending bluffs, then the students can be sure that there is actually no danger in the Shence Sect. Changmao's real main attack direction is actually this Yifeng Sect!"

Lu Jianying and Xianghou were a little shaken. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wu Chaoyue could only say to Lu Jianying and others quickly: "Sir, please rest assured. The official has already discussed with Mr. Bingyuan. Tonight we will send the dead soldiers to the city and take the risk of spying on the real situation of Changmao Camp. If Changmao deployed at Shence Gate, the old and weak soldiers were bluffing, then after the investigation tonight, there will be a result to be reported!"

After discussing with Xianghou and Qi Suzao for a while, Lu Jianying said to Wu Chaoyue and Zhang Jigeng: "Okay, then you can act according to the plan quickly. Tomorrow morning, I must know the real situation of the Changmao Camp at Shence Gate."

Wu Chaoyue and Zhang Jigeng agreed together, and then Zhang Jigeng was of course relieved. He knew that there was hope for Lu Jianying, Xianghou and others to adopt his correct suggestions. However, Wu Chaoyue even cursed him even more, calling Zhang Jigeng a traitor, and even calling Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and others unfamiliar. Arrange a strategy to attack the world can reveal so many flaws!

No matter how much he scolded, it would be useless. If you don’t quickly find a way to destroy Zhang Jigeng’s reconnaissance plan, the trouble will definitely be even greater. Forced to do nothing, Wu Chaoyue had to come up with a plan that was not very safe on the way back to Shence Gate. He just threw away the hardcore traitor Zhang Jigeng and immediately asked Wu Dasai to find Jiang Ning who had the courage to go down the city for himself. He also specifically told him that he should not ask Zhang Jigeng for his own command.

Lian Yong, who had the courage to go down the city, was soon found. Jiang Ning Lian Yong, who had helped Wu Chaoyue demolish houses outside the city. He had received silver from Wu Chaoyue and tasted the sweetness, so he was willing to work hard for Wu Chaoyue. The cautious and suspicious Wu Chaoyue carefully asked about his identity and background, and confirmed that he had nothing to do with Zhang Jigeng, and then asked him: "Do you know if I called you here, are you planning to let you go out of the city to explore the enemy situation at night?"

"I know." Lian Yong replied truthfully: "Wu Junye has already told the young man, please rest assured, the young man will definitely complete the assignment you gave to him."

"Do you know? Why do I want you to take such a great danger to go out of the city to explore the enemy's situation?"

Wu Chaoyue asked again, Lian Yong shook his head and said he didn't know. Wu Chaoyue sighed and said casually: "It's because Mr. Bingyuan saw the flaws and suspected that Changmao who were stationed outside the city were all old and weak soldiers. He even more suspected that Changmao didn't want to attack Shence Sect at all. In fact, the real target was Yifeng Sect, so he had to find someone to take the risk to see Changmao situation. But don't worry, I won't let you work hard in vain. The matter is done, I will reward you with twenty taels of silver!"

When Lan Yong heard this, he quickly patted his chest and said that he would complete the task. Wu Chaoyue nodded with satisfaction and told Lan Yong directly that he wanted to take the credit and let Lan Yong go down the city first after it was dark and must keep it confidential. After Lan Yong agreed again, Wu Chaoyue also asked his personal soldiers to take Lan Yong down to drink and eat meat, and temporarily isolated him from the others.

It was of great importance. Wu Chaoyue stayed in Shence Gate City all day this day, and even dinner was eaten in the city. When it was dark, Wu Chaoyue first carefully sent Wu Dasai to entangle the hardcore traitor Zhang Jigeng for him, and then personally directed Wu Jun Lianyong to put Jiangning down the city with a rope in the self-defense area.

Until it was confirmed that Lian Yong was touching the Taiping Army camp in the night, Wu Chaoyue asked his Lian Yong to deliberately twitch more on the city wall to create the illusion of crowds gathering, and deliberately stretched the torch lanterns out of the wall, causing the Taiping Army scouts who were probing outside the city to suspect that there was a special situation here. Then he ran to the city tower to find Zhang Jigeng, who was temporarily entangled by Wu Dasai, and persuaded Zhang Jigeng to let his Lian Yong go to the city to reconnaissance at the second update. Zhang Jigeng had never thought that Wu Chaoyue, whose hands were covered in the blood of Taiping Army soldiers, would take the initiative to help the Taiping Army, nodded to agree with Wu Chaoyue's suggestion, and let Lian Yong, who had already prepared, wait for more than half an hour.

Good intentions are rewarded. At the critical moment, even God came to help. After more than half an hour, the Qing army gunner, who was too nervous, ignited the fire without asking Geng Luo, Wu Chaoyue and others for instructions, ignited the fire and fired several shots at the torches. When Zhang Jigeng heard the sound of the cannons, he ran to stop them. He could only curse the Qing army gunners who disturbed the enemy. At the same time, he was forced to wait half an hour before attacking. Wu Chaoyue laughed in his stomach, and kept praying in his heart that the Lian Yong sent could be captured by the Taiping Army.

After finally reaching the second half, Wu Chaoyue and Zhang Jigeng took action together, commanding the Green Camp soldiers to put down the city walls of Jiangning Lianyong, who was brought out by Zhang Jigeng. After vaguely seeing the three sleepyongs, Wu Chaoyue and Zhang Jigeng were about to return to the city tower to sleep, but they never thought that screams and roars had already been heard in the darkness of the city. When Wu Chaoyue and Zhang Jigeng quickly poked their heads out of the arrows to observe the city, they vaguely saw a figure rushing towards this side, and shouting in Jiangning's accent: "There are long hairs! The long hairs are ambushed! Ah--!"

Accompanied by this scream, the figure fell to the ground, and then several black shadows rushed up and dragged him to escape from the scene quickly. Seeing this scene, Wu Chaoyue was of course happy in his heart, but Zhang Jigeng regretted that he could smash the wall with his punches and said helplessly: "There is no other way. My Jian Yong is likely to be captured. Don't expect to have another chance to go out of the city to spy on the Changmao military information tonight."

There was indeed no hope, because on this night, Wu Chaoyue sent out the city, Lian Yong, after Li Kaifang's interrogation, was taken to the Xiaguan Water Village of the Taiping Army, and handed it to Yang Xiuqing, the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army. After asking about Lian Yong's confession, Yang Xiuqing was shocked and immediately ordered: "I ordered Li Kaifang to divide some of the soldiers and replace the patrol of the Xian Army. The Xian Jun camp was only allowed to dig the frontal trench, and not the two wings and the trench behind it! In addition, every night, arranging doubtful soldiers outside the Shence Gate, and another 300 elite soldiers were arranged to ambush the Qing Yao's out-of-city soldiers at any time."

"Dongwang, what should I do with Jinghai Temple?" Wei Changhui next to him asked.

"Use some stones of vehicles to build a turret!" Yang Xiuqing replied without blinking his eyelids: "Move a few more cannons over and pretend to be bombarding the city. Oh, no, just bombard the city by the prince!"

"The East King's brilliant plan!" Wei Changhui slapped the table and praised: "If you really build a fort to bombard the city, Qing Yao will definitely be even more unable to tell the truth or the false."

"It's all for the blessing of surpassing the little demon." Yang Xiuqing sighed: "I didn't expect that the Qing demon in Jiangning City was so treacherous that he could guess our army's real plan with some silk traces. If it weren't for surpassing the little demon, we would have trouble this time."
Chapter completed!
