Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh night raid on the shipyard
Song Tian was not good at martial arts, but he was very capable of doing things. He was thorough and meticulous. It took him three days to obtain the detailed drawings of the Yangzhou government shipyard and the defense plans of the defenders.
In the room, Ying Caihe carefully checked the two maps. Song Tian said on the side: "The defenders are tightly guarded. Everyone who enters the shipyard must be searched, and the materials entering the shipyard must be carefully inspected. Basically, you can't get in."
, but it also has loopholes, and that’s the water surface!”
Song Tian pointed to the Yangtze River and said: "Zhu Si cannot block the water surface and can sneak in from the water surface. However, there are also fishing nets set up on the water surface. It will be troublesome once you get entangled..."
Ying Caihe didn't listen carefully to Song Tian's introduction. She had her own ideas. She pointed to the southeast corner of the army and asked: "Why are there no soldiers here to defend it?"
"It was originally a stone wharf with a large number of huge rocks piled up, so no troops were deployed. However, I heard that there were many hidden sentries hidden in the stone piles. We used another method to provide warning. At the same time, there were more patrol sentries there."
Ying Caihe put away the map and said, "I know what to do. All you need to do is prepare four bags of kerosene. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Song Tian quickly said: "I plan to send people to attack the military camp on the outside, create trouble, attract the other party's attention, and create opportunities for you."
Ying Caihe sneered and said, "You're not calling it causing trouble, you're calling it alarming. Do you think everyone else is that stupid?"
Song Tian thought about it and was right. He was a little reluctant and said: "Then what can I do?"
"Manager Song feels that there is nothing to do, so prepare a boat and park it on the river two miles away, just in case."
"I understand, when does Miss Ying plan to take action?"
Ying Caihe thought for a while and said: "The day after tomorrow at two o'clock in the evening!"
...........
Ying Caihe's unwillingness to talk to Song Tian does not mean that she is reckless, she just has her own style of doing things and has her own experience.
That night, she took her two apprentices to check out the shipbuilding yard. Her target was still the southeast corner of the military camp. There was a rock field over there. Countless boulders had been piled here for decades, forming a strip one mile wide.
The rocky belt is about three miles long. There is a shipbuilding area in the past. The army cannot be stationed there, so the garrison uses hidden sentries and patrol sentries to solve the problem of insufficient garrison.
Ying Caihe's body was like a ghost, and her eyes were as sharp as an eagle. She hid on a two-foot-high rock and carefully searched for the secret sentries around her. It took her an hour to confirm that there were twenty-eight secret sentries hidden in the rubble.
Caihe left quietly without alerting the whistle, and her two apprentices met her outside.
At two o'clock in the evening the next day, Ying Caihe came to the rock field again. She changed her hiding place to a large rock similar to yesterday's. She carefully observed the secret whistles around her. This was her experience in doing things. If twice
The observed secret whistles are all the same, which means that there are indeed only twenty-eight secret whistles. If she comes back for the third time, everything will be safe.
This time she stayed in the rubble for two hours. Not only did she confirm that there were only twenty-eight people in the secret sentry, but she also discovered the pattern of the patrol. There were three patrol teams, separated by only half a stick of incense.
In the blink of an eye, on the third night, Ying Caihe was packing up with two apprentices in a private house outside Jiangyang County. They all wore black tights, masks, and long swords on their backs. Ying Caihe tied a
There is a box of poisonous needles inside the waist button. The most poisonous medicine in Cangjian Pavilion is used to seal the throat when blood is seen.
Ying Caihe was also known as the Poisonous Lady behind her back, not only because she was ruthless, but also because she was good at using poison, and her poisonous needles were hard to guard against, making people in the Hidden Sword Pavilion frightened.
In addition, they also brought huozhezi tubes. The two female apprentices could carry heavy loads. Each of them carried two bags of kerosene weighing 20 kilograms. Although they could run with a load of 40 kilograms, the task of clearing the secret sentry could only be done by the responders.
Caihe acted independently.
At the first watch, Ying Caihe once again sneaked into the pile of rocks.
There is a soldier hidden behind a pile of rocks. He is holding a crossbow in his hand and is taking a nap behind the rocks. He is not in a wartime state now. It is just a normal alert. They are required to maintain a high degree of vigilance every night. Basically
impossible.
In a daze, the soldier felt a dark shadow flash before his eyes, and a sharp pain in his throat. He strangled his throat but couldn't scream, and then his heart hurt, and he didn't know anything anymore.
Ying Caihe's attack was extremely ruthless. He cut his throat with a sword, and then pierced his heart with a sword, killing the soldier instantly.
She knew the locations of the twenty-eight secret sentries very well. She was as fast as a ghost. In just a quarter of an hour, he killed the twenty-eight secret sentries one by one. Each one of them died miserably and curled up in a ball in pain.
Ying Caihe searched around again and confirmed that there were no hidden whistles. She let out a night owl call and the two apprentices rushed into the pile of rocks.
The three of them rushed towards the shipyard and hid behind a large rock for a moment. A group of patrol sentries came from a distance. The sentries passed in front of them and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Ying Caihe waved, and the three of them rushed into the shipyard...
They know the distribution of the shipyard well, and their main targets are warehouses, especially the large warehouses where lumber and keels are placed. In addition, there are four thousand-stone warships under construction.
Not long after, they arrived near the large warehouse and hid behind a large ship under construction. "Damn it!" Ying Caihe cursed secretly. There were at least eight soldiers in front of the warehouse door, and there were also soldiers on the other three sides.
.
This is not marked on the map. The internal distribution map of the shipyard only marked the buildings, but ignored the people. It is no wonder that such an important warehouse is not guarded by soldiers.
"What should I do?" The two female apprentices looked at Ying Caihe.
Ying Caihe thought for a moment and whispered: "Wait here for a moment!"
She went around from the other side and walked around the warehouse from a distance. She soon understood that there were a total of twenty-four soldiers guarding the warehouse, most of them sleeping against the wall, and no one was standing.
She took out the poison needle box from her waist. Her poison needle was about an inch long. It was made of gold and was relatively heavy. The front end was quenched with highly poisonous poison. This poison was obtained from vipers in the desert. A little bit can be poisonous.
If a horse dies, she usually covers the front end of her poisonous needle with a small wooden shell to prevent accidental injury to herself.
There are forty poisonous needles in the box. Within twenty steps, the poisonous needles can hit hundreds of times. When you are stung, you will only feel a mosquito bite and you will die within a cup of tea.
She took out a golden needle, flicked her hand, and a little golden light flashed in the darkness, hitting a soldier's neck. The soldier scratched it and went back to sleep. Soon, his face turned pitch black.
Ying Caihe followed suit and killed the soldiers one by one.
Ying Caihe used his sword to cut off the iron chain lock, pushed open the warehouse door, and entered in a flash. The two apprentices followed him in. The warehouse was very large, filled with shipbuilding wood, and dozens of huge keels stood on the wall.
They quickly poured kerosene on the wood and the keel, then lit the kettle and started lighting fires in all directions.
In an instant, smoke billowed in the warehouse and fire raged. The three of them rushed out of the warehouse and ran eastward, setting fire to four large ships that were being built.
‘Dang! Dang! Dang!’ The alarm bells rang loudly in the military camp, and countless soldiers rushed from all directions to put out the fire. They brought water directly from the Yangtze River and poured it on the fire.
Ying Caihe stood on a big rock and looked coldly at the soldiers running in the distance. Even the patrol soldiers ran to put out the fire.
She was not worried about the effect of the fire. The warehouse would definitely not be saved. It was full of wood and tung oil. How could it be saved?
She was not worried even if there were four large ships. They started to set fire to the keel. Even if they were rescued, the keel would be severely damaged and it would not be able to support the big ship, which would mean the entire ship was scrapped.
At this time, Ying Caihe discovered that all the soldiers in the camp were running to put out the fire. She sneered and said, "Why don't we give them another fire?"
.........
That night, even the raging fire on the other side of the Yangtze River could be seen above Dantu County in Runzhou. Han Huang was woken up from his sleep and hurried to the city. Luo Ziyu pointed at the fire on the other side and said excitedly: "That's where the fire is going."
The shipyard, probably the shipyard and the military camp were also burned down."
Han Huang stroked his beard and nodded: "Okay! I believe that Guo Song will not let us down. He will definitely be able to do what we can't do."
The fire not only burned down the entire shipbuilding yard, but also the military camp. Although there were very few casualties, the soldiers' personal belongings suffered heavy losses, which severely damaged the morale of Zhu Si's army. More importantly, it destroyed Zhu Si's shipbuilding plan.
, preventing him from considering building large warships for at least ten years. Zhu Si's only hope now is to seize Wu Shaocheng's warships.
Early in the morning, Song Tian hurried to the yard where Ying Caihe lived, only to find the waiter standing at the door in a daze. He asked, "What's going on?"
The waiter pointed to the yard and said, "The guest is gone. Everything is gone. He must have left."
"Let's go!"
Song Tian hurriedly ran into the yard and saw that the door to the room was open, the room was neatly packed, and there was no luggage left.
Song Tian suddenly thought of something and hurriedly ran to the livestock shed. He saw that Ying Cai and the three horses they were riding on had disappeared. Song Tian let out a long sigh and said, "They are gone indeed."
He originally wanted to talk to Ying Caihe and ask her to stay in Jinwei Mansion, but now it seems that is impossible.
