Chapter 730 Night Attack on Gaizhou

Amidst the whistling of the cold wind, Yue Tuo hid there and looked up at the top of Gaizhou City. I saw several lanterns hanging there every few feet. They could not be blown by the wind, and the light always illuminated a large area under the city. Beside the lantern, Sergeant Ariake stood looking outside. What made Yue Tuo a little depressed was that these Ming soldiers stood motionless in the cold wind. In addition, there are several teams of patrol soldiers patrolling along the city wall.

After a while, a Jianlu next to Yue Tuo couldn't help it anymore and whispered to Yue Tuo: "Master, can't the person standing at the top of the city be a dummy?"

This kind of thing happens all the time. Under the dark of night, it's hard to tell the truth from the lie, and it's very shocking. After such a long time, it was still motionless. No wonder this experienced white-armored soldier became suspicious!

After hearing this, Yue Tuo frowned and replied in a low voice: "We'll see later!"

After finishing speaking, he felt that the light between two adjacent lanterns was relatively dark. There might be an opportunity here! So, he began to care about it again.

Just like that, after a while, finally, Yue Tuo and others found that a few of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty standing on the top of the city moved. However, they always remained vigilant and watched what was going on outside.

"Master, these people who have moved must be real. Those who haven't moved yet, after so long, must be fake!" Jianlu, who had just spoken, expressed his opinion again.

Generally speaking, it is definitely not possible for all of them to be fake people. It is normal for them to be real and fake like this.

Yue Tuo also confirmed this idea in his heart. He was pleasantly surprised to find that there were more dummies on one section of the city wall. After weighing it in his mind, he immediately turned to a Jianlu next to him and ordered: "Go back and report to the emperor immediately. , just say that if there is a chance, we can make a sneak attack, and the emperor can also prepare!"

It is impossible to capture Gaizhou City with just these 100 people. There must be backup to support them.

The Jianlu white-armored soldiers lurking nearby knew that they were preparing to steal the city when their master heard that their master had asked someone to report to the emperor. So, everyone immediately cheered up and prepared for a big fight!

Yue Tuo told the leader of the white-armored soldiers next to him his plan: "As soon as the patrol posts on the top of the city pass, you will attack these dark places. Even if the Ming army finds out, the dummies at these points will There are more of them, and with our force, we can kill them by force! Do you understand?"

These white-armored soldiers were all accustomed to fighting. As soon as Yue Tuo opened his mouth, they knew what he would say next, so they all nodded without hesitation.

Seeing that they all understood, Yue Tuo turned his head and looked at the city again. He estimated in his mind that the emperor would send another army to meet them. When would they arrive? It would be better to attack the city here!

While he was thinking about it, he was suddenly startled. He suspected that he was a little dazzled, and immediately asked Jianlu next to him: "Did the third one over there move a moment ago?"

He viewed this person as a dummy. Because he had never noticed any movement before, he judged it to be a dummy. But it seemed to have moved just now, and he wondered if he was dazzled.

"Master is right, I saw this man move just now." One of his subordinates immediately replied.

When Yue Tuo heard this, his heart suddenly trembled. This doesn't seem to be fake anymore. But it took so long for the soldiers of Ming Dynasty to move. What kind of military discipline can they do?

Faintly, he suddenly felt something was wrong. So, he immediately spread the word and asked his men to also stare at the people he thought were fake people to see if they were indeed fake people!

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Yue Tuo discovered that the dummies he had identified before were actually making movements one after another. Although not all of them have been confirmed yet, as more and more people have been confirmed, his heart becomes colder and colder. In the end, he was even more certain that the remaining ones who had not yet moved were definitely not dummies!

Who are these people! He didn't even move for so long! Yue Tuo was very surprised. He has always believed that the elite white-armored soldiers in the Qing Dynasty must have the strictest military discipline. Unexpectedly, such an army would emerge from the Ming army, which had the worst military discipline. How should such military discipline be achieved? They are all the same as wooden people!

In this way, the chance of a sneak attack is gone! Thinking of this, Yue Tuo suddenly said something bad to himself. He had already sent people back to tell the emperor that he could attack by force. In this way, the emperor will send troops to respond, so as to avoid sending out at the beginning which may lead to futility and let too many people waste their efforts.

Yue Tuo quickly turned around and ordered one of his subordinates: "Quick, go back and report immediately, saying that we are not sure about the night attack..."

Even if there is no preface and follow-up, it is still better than sending out the army for a while, but the result is in vain.

However, before Yue Tuo finished speaking, he heard movement behind him, and a familiar voice asked in a low voice: "How's it going? Can we start?"

Yue Tuo didn't even need to turn around to look, it was the emperor who sent Jierhalang out. This shows how much the emperor attaches great importance to this night attack. But...but it's better that the emperor doesn't pay attention to this night attack!

Yue Tuo smiled bitterly in his heart, turned to look at Jierhalang who was already beside him and said: "I misjudged. The Ming army on top of the city is an army with strict military discipline that I have never seen before. I'm afraid there is no such thing." Opportunity strikes at night!”

"Huh?" Jilharang came with full of hope, but a basin of cold water was poured on him, which surprised him, "What's going on? What happened?"

You know, if there hadn't been such a thing, the thousand troops he brought out wouldn't have to sneak extra meals at night, and they would have to brave the cold wind to sneak out like thieves and lurk over. Is this easy?

Yue Tuo also knew that Jierhalang would definitely be unhappy, so he quickly explained the situation in detail, and then whispered: "The emperor, I will go and apologize!"

After Jierhalang heard this, he didn't blame him. He just looked carefully and found that, as Yue Tuo said, the Ming army on the top of the city remained motionless in such a cold temperature. Stand. Such military discipline made his back feel a little cold. He had a hunch that the battle in Gaizhou would not be as easy as imagined!

Suddenly, Jierhalang discovered something again and was surprised. Then he pointed with his finger and said to Yue Tuo: "Look there, you have overlooked one thing. Those dimly lit places were deliberately done by the Ming army." , there are also hidden sentries of the Ming army there, please take a closer look!"

After a lot of trouble, the sky in the east finally turned white, and Yue Tuo and Jierhalang returned to the camp to see Huang Taiji. This night was all in vain!
