Therefore, Li Xinchen was able to produce these tools for these eight hundred soldiers, and he obviously took great pains. Ouyang Mo, the master craftsman in charge of production at the time, thought he had heard wrong, and only after confirming with Li Xinchen repeatedly did he arrange for manpower to start a new production line. Of course, this production line was in production
After purchasing 800 matching weapons, it was closed.
There is no need for Li Xingchen to emphasize it. Ouyang Mo also knows how important these weapons are, so he uses only the best materials. Otherwise, like Cheng Feng, who is groping forward in the water, bumping and bumping along the way, the thinner weapons will be long gone.
It has been damaged.
Water Gate is where the water inside and outside the city converge. The water surface looks calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent surging under the water. Cheng Feng stretched out his hand to hug a pillar and quickly cut the fence, while more than a dozen soldiers were also doing it.
The same thing as him, as for the rest of the people who were lurking in the water, they all carried reed pipes with them, so that they only needed to expose a small section of the reed pipe on the water.
For the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who were warming themselves by the fire at the city gate, these reed pipes blended into the darkness had no way of attracting their attention. Or in the thick darkness before dawn, even if there were seven or eight hundred people floating on the water,
They probably can't see it either, unless they hold a torch and walk all the way to the shore to take a closer look.
Of course, it’s best to be careful at this time.
In late autumn, the cold water almost made Cheng Feng lose consciousness, but he still tried his best to saw the fence.
"What's going on?" At this time, a voice suddenly came from the city.
Suddenly all the soldiers in Bashu held their breath in the darkness. They could only hear their hearts beating in the cold water, and almost everyone subconsciously put their hands on the knives at their waists, which were suitable for carrying in the water.
Although Ye Dao is easily at a disadvantage in a fight, it is the biggest support for these soldiers now. If they are really discovered by the enemy, even if they know that they have no armor and attack, they will not hesitate.
Jump out of the water and try your best to complete your mission.
"Maybe the fish in the water were flapping a few times. It hasn't happened before. What's the fuss? Several brothers are sleeping!" Another voice came next.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief and stuck his head out from the water. Just as he was about to continue cutting, a torch was suddenly thrown down from the city gate, suddenly lighting up the water at the city gate. And the city
A soldier on the door pointed at the water surface impatiently and said: "If you look at the little ripples, they must be fish probes. I'll tell you why you are so suspicious!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll treat you to a drink later!"
"That's pretty much it."
Cheng Feng felt that his breathing was about to stop. At this time, he finally returned to normal. He learned his lesson and waited for a cup of tea before starting to cut again. The first fence was finally taken down.
The rest of the soldiers also made a breakthrough at this time.
Cheng Feng took a deep breath, dived straight into the water, and swam forward over the remains of the fence. The rest of the soldiers followed closely behind. Not long after he passed the water gate, Cheng Feng felt the iron rope in the water.
The iron rope is a commonly used method in water battles to block the opponent's ships. It is somewhat similar to the horse rope used to block cavalry in land battles. When the charging ship hits the iron rope, it will inevitably cause someone to overturn the boat. However, for Cheng Feng and others, this is not a problem.
It was not an insurmountable difficulty. As Cheng Feng carefully swam under the rope, the next rope made the hairs on his body stand up.
With the faint firelight shining from the city gate, you can see the ropes on the waterway. Different from the role of iron ropes, these weak ropes are obviously not enough to stop ships. They are mainly to prevent water ghosts. When you are unfamiliar with the water,
When the ghost hits these ropes driven by the current, the gong on the shore will be pulled and make a sound, and the defenders will naturally know that they should catch the water ghost.
Although the water surface of the inland waterway is intended to be calm, due to the convergence of tributaries, there are always turbulent undercurrents underwater. Cheng Feng was able to easily dive over the iron rope before, mainly because of the pushing effect of the current. But now the pushing effect of the current is playing a role
Other characters, if the water ghost is not familiar with this, will be pushed directly into the trap by the water flow, and by the time the water ghost realizes it, it will naturally be too late.
Fortunately, before entering Xiangyang City, Cheng Feng had already learned about these arrangements from several Fancheng prisoners of war and had made preparations in advance. Otherwise, the sound of gongs on the shore would have been loud by now. Cheng Feng used the flickering light to
Looking at the several generals around him, they also pulled out the saws from their waists. Two people stepped forward to stabilize the rope, and the remaining people carefully cut the rope.
According to the description of the prisoners of war, continuing forward should be the fodder yard of the Xiangyang defenders. Grain and grass are easy to ignite, and they are also the favorite targets of enemy spies during sieges. Once the grain and grass are ignited, it will have an impact on the morale of both sides.
In order to prevent fires and provide timely rescue in the event of a fire, the fodder yard of Xiangyang City is set up near the north gate. It is close to the inland river for easy access to water. And once the fire is too big, the gate on the water gate can be opened urgently to increase the amount of water.
This fodder yard is naturally the target for Cheng Feng and others to try their best to sneak into the city this time, but it is not the final target. Because Li Xingchen did not give them the final goal of the operation, everything depends on Cheng Feng's performance on the spot.
This is trust and also a test.
Without using this army, it would only be a matter of time before Li Xingchen conquered Xiangyang; but without going to the battlefield, this army would never be able to prove itself. Therefore, there was no need for Cheng Feng to mobilize, and these soldiers cherished this time very much.
Chance.
With a wave of his hand, Cheng Feng swam forward first.
————————————
West of Xiangyang City.
The wind on the Mianshui River is cool. If your clothes are a little thin and you have to wrap them up tightly, you can imagine what it will be like if you are immersed in the water.
Pei Zilie walked slowly to Li Xinchen. Ever since Cheng Feng and the others started taking action, Li Xinchen had been standing here silently looking at Xiangyang City, not knowing whether he was expecting or waiting.
"Before coming here, you held them in well." Pei Zilie said in a low voice. Apparently others only thought that Cheng Feng and others were not very lucky. They hurried and slowed down but couldn't catch up. However, Pei Zilie, who knew Li Xingchen, knew better.
, things are definitely not that simple. Li Xingchen will not keep such an elite team behind unless he has other plans. "There is still no movement at all, are you nervous?"
Li Xingchen chuckled: "Those are a group of wolves. If they are very full, then someone may be very nervous, but... they are a group of hungry wolves."
Pei Zilie suddenly took a breath. (To be continued)
