I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 325 The plan to enter the city

In Chuzhou, the Qing army defender A Chuhui learned that the Wu army was retreating, and happily held a banquet and drinking with several other generals.

Although that night attack was not perfect, it was a rare victory among the Qing army, and it was worth celebrating.

The wine was full, and everyone toasted.

"Congratulations on the success of the general's miraculous plan, and the enemy troops killed will not be spared."

"This time, Wu Jun not only suffered heavy losses of personnel, but also suffered more material losses. If he wants to attack our Chuzhou again, he has to raise at least another ten days and a half months of materials."

"I heard that there is also a rule in the Wu army, saying that it is not allowed to disturb the people. If they don't have a tent and don't disturb the people, where will they sleep tonight?"

The crowd slapped A Chuxun's flattery and made fun of Wu Jun, so they were so happy.

People who don't know think that the Qing court at this time is still a strong party and is winning.

In fact, the situation is that their Qing army is being defeated in all directions, and they are the only small victory here.

Always beat the war, and occasionally a small victory is enough for them to be so happy.

Although Achuhun also knew that this little victory was of little significance, it could not change the strategic situation of the Qing court and the Wu army. However, he is only a small officer, and he cannot control the general trend. He can only do his own thing to the best of his ability.

After a victory, he didn't want to spoil everyone's happiness, so he didn't think about those troubles, and happily drank small wine together and admired the dance of the beauties.

The next day, the sun rose and the gate of Chuzhou was slowly opened.

Farmers in the suburbs and rural areas need to bring vegetables and other farm products into the city for sale. Some people in the city need to go out of the city to chop wood, and merchants need to come in and out.

Unless a city is closed during a war, it will bring great inconvenience to the lives of the people in the city.

If a city does not have enough material reserves in advance, once it is surrounded and besieged, it will only take a month or two for the people inside to basically be forced to surrender.

Otherwise, the people inside will basically not be able to survive, and there will inevitably be some unbearable situations.

The city gates opened, and some people who had been waiting for a long time began to line up to enter the city.

It was usually not so complicated, but now that the Wu army is approaching, Chuzhou has strengthened the search a little, mainly to prevent the spies from doing meticulous work.

Some Wu army soldiers also mixed in with the ranks of these people.

One by one, they showed their magical powers, some carrying a load of firewood and pretending to be a woodcutter, while others were catching a few fish in the water and then posing as a fisherman by tying them with a straw rope.

Others pretend to be hawkers, hooligans, and refugees. In short, the Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.

In fact, it is relatively simple for people to sneak in. Those who are in charge of inspection will not conclude that someone is a soldier of Wu Jun because someone is stronger.

Moreover, the inspection of the Qing army was also perfunctory and not too serious.

For Wu Jun, the biggest difficulty was how to transport the weapons in. Without weapons, it would be of little use to go in alone.

At this time, a company commander of Wu Jun, Zhao Zhiyuan, was with more than 20 soldiers, ambushing on a hillside next to the official road.

They were waiting for the caravan to appear, and they wanted to find a suitable target, then hijacked it and mixed it into the city.

A caravan of more than ten people passed by.

"Captain, come on."

subordinate suggested.

"You're stupid, there are only ten people in their entire caravan, isn't it too obvious for the twenty or so of us to get in?"

Zhao Zhiyuan taught a lesson.

The goal he needs is to be as large as possible, or the commodity is particularly expensive.

The large-scale caravans are inconspicuous, and the caravans with valuable goods, they can pretend to be the guards of the darts.

In addition to these two kinds of caravans, other caravans would appear too abrupt and easily arouse the vigilance of the Qing army.

These two kinds of caravans are relatively rare, after all, Chuzhou is not a particularly prosperous place.

If it weren't for the fact that it was relatively close to Nanjing, there would be fewer businessmen coming here to do business.

After waiting for a long time, another caravan passed by.

Through the telescope, Zhao Zhiyuan saw that the other party was pulling goods such as rice.

There are a lot of people in this caravan, more than 30 people, and it is convenient to hide grenades in the rice.

It's just that their long knives are not easy to hide or explain.

You can't say that you are a bodyguard. The profit of this rice business is not high. How could you hire a bodyguard? The flaws are too obvious.

Zhao Zhiyuan held back and continued to wait for a better goal.

This wait, a day has passed, and I have not waited for a better target.

He was not discouraged, and continued to wait the next day.

Finally, at noon, he saw a caravan.

There are not many cars in this caravan pulling goods, but there are many people, and some of them are also equipped with knives. Obviously, this is a caravan carrying valuable goods, and those with knives are the escorts in the escort bureau.

"Go, stop this caravan, don't do it yet."

Zhao Zhiyuan didn't want to hurt the people of the caravan. After all, he needed the cooperation of the people of the caravan when he entered the city.

Talking nicely to each other will make the caravan feel more comfortable and more willing to cooperate. Forcible persecution can easily arouse the opponent's resistance.

If at the gate of the city, the caravan suddenly leaked their identities to the Qing army, it would be troublesome.

They rushed towards the caravan, but the people in the caravan were frightened. The dozen or so

The escort quickly guarded the caravan in the middle.

"Don't panic, we have no ill intentions."

Zhao Zhiyuan said.

Those businessmen didn't believe a word of it.

Zhao Zhiyuan and the others were all burly and strong, holding big knives and looking fierce. No matter how they looked at them, they didn't look like good people. It is too unconvincing to say that there is no malice from their mouths.

"I don't know if you are the kings of that mountain. We are the Cuijia firm in Nanjing. I hope you will make it easier. Of course, we will not let you come here in vain.

Butler Cui, who was in charge of leading the team, took out a bag of silver, which seemed to be at least a hundred taels.

Butler Cui is of course not rich, and he will send it when he sees a robbery.

The main reason is that Zhao Zhiyuan's team has excellent weapons, and it seems that they are not easy to mess with. If you really want to fight, these bodyguards on your side may not be their opponents.

If you encounter a weak bandit, who will rob and who will not be sure.

Therefore, Butler Cui is more inclined to spend money to eliminate disasters, and if he can spend more than one hundred taels of silver to send the other party away, he is very happy.

More than 100 taels of silver is not worth mentioning for the profits of these few trucks of goods.

"Nanjing Cui Family, is Cui Mingchong's business in the west of the city?"

Zhao Zhiyuan rejoiced that he had spent some time in Nanjing and knew about Cui's firm.

If it was Cui Mingchong's firm, it would be easy.

After all, the Cui family belonged to the faction that firmly supported Wu Changqing and had a close relationship with the government.

There must be no problem for them to cooperate.
