The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

On the afternoon of April 27, 130 selected commandos, including Zhao Qiong, arrived at the command center, most of them from the Special Forces Brigade of the Guard Division and the Prince's Inner Guards Brigade. Next, the attack

The team began planning, organizing and distributing rations, water, ammunition and explosives.

That night, the commando began to march towards Pingji. They first rode horses to reach the vicinity of Pingji, then dismounted and walked through the Jin army occupied area, avoided the Jin army's reconnaissance cavalry, and reached the outside of the destination without stopping. In the early morning, the city gate opened and the Wuma Mountain Village sent it out.

The spy who entered the city to understand the situation met the commando, and sent a reconnaissance team to reconnaissance the situation, and learned about the latest situation in the city.

The news brought by the spies from Wumazhai was not good news. A team of Jin army, which was said to have 500 people, entered the compound, and the reconnaissance team was unable to conduct a thorough reconnaissance of the situation inside the compound. Now the top priority is now

How to enter the city? No matter what you can't enter the city, it's useless to say.

"Today is the birthday of the Medicine King. Every year, the Medicine King Temple holds a temple fair. You can take the opportunity to sneak into the city!" The spies in Wuma Village are all locals, and they are familiar with the situation here, he said.

"Oh, then this year the Jin army occupied the city. Will people outside the city be forbidden from entering?" Zhao Qi asked, and his heart was also moved. This was indeed a good opportunity.

"Chief, the Jin army has not closed the city gates these days. It has been occupied for several months and the surrounding areas have all been lost. The Jin people regard Zhaozhou as their territory, so they do not lock down the city on weekdays, but open and close the city gates on time.

. Yesterday I heard that the weather was getting warmer, and the Jin people were not accustomed to the soil and soil, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to pray for blessings and eliminate the epidemic. I think the city would not be locked down!" said the spy. He didn't know the person in front of him who dressed like others.

It's the prince, but it can be seen that everyone is led by him.

"Well. This is indeed an available opportunity!" Zhao Qiong said, "Erwa. Take people to explore the road first, observe the situation, and choose a place to settle down and gathering place!"

"Yes, Second Master!" Erwa agreed, changed into casual clothes and took two people into the city to reconnaissance...

It was not until the hour of Mao that Erwa returned to the lurking place outside the city and brought detailed information. The Jin army did not stop the people from entering and leaving the city gate, and the warning at the city gate was relatively relaxed. However, the Qi family courtyard was heavily guarded. The nearby streets were all

With the Jin army guarding it, the people were strictly prohibited from passing. It was very difficult to get close, but he still found a way to go in and take a walk around.

The courtyard is flat and has no buildings or trees to provide cover, but there is a small trench at the back of the yard, such as the owner's garden used to divert water or drain water. Now it is severely silted and there is no water in the trench, so it can be used to cover the approaching yard.

The west gate is in the middle of the west city wall, and the north side of the city gate retracts eastward, forming a curved gap. When the west gate enters, it is West Street, which intersects the T-character South Street in front of Guandi Temple. West Street extends to the gate of Qijia Courtyard.

, turn to the north by turning diagonally, cross Xibei Street and directly to the north gate of the northeast corner of the city.

"Second Master, Guandi Temple was built quite large, and Temple Zhu also escaped. It has become a place for beggars and refugees. The Jin army rarely searches there, which can be used as our temporary site!" Erwa said.

"Where is the Jin army stationed in the city?" Zhao Qi asked again.

"There are about 5,000 troops in the city. They are concentrated near the county's fore street and the north gate, and there are about 200 soldiers stationed on the west gate. There are several miles of camps outside the south gate, and the size of the troops can be more than 50,000. However, Han

Li Bu took away some of them, the specific number is unknown!" Erwa said.

"How to configure the enemy troops in the courtyard?" Zhao Qiong nodded and asked again.

"Second Master, the entire courtyard is a three-way and three-in-one courtyard. At the main entrance, there are two Jin army teams responsible for the guard. Usually, there are only four sentries guarding the guards, and the rest live in the gatehouse and wait for work; outside the back door is a trench.

, On weekdays, there is no one in and out, and there is only one ten-husband team; there is a corner gate at the granary on the East Road, for carriages and horses to enter and exit. There is a ten-husband team in the Jin army guarding it, and there is no other portal in other places!"

Erwa said while marking the number and locations of the people in various places on the map, and said, "The courtyard wall is about three feet wide and two feet high. It has a mercedes and a women's wall. There are corner buildings on the four corners of the courtyard.

The Jin army took turns guarding the lookout. The main hall of the courtyard is Zuo Sixiao Qing's residence. He is usually responsible for the management of the captured monarchs and ministers here. His personal soldiers were stationed on both sides, and there was about a team of 100 people!"

"The front hall is the residence of Bojin Wuling Gasmou. He is responsible for the protection and supervision of this place. There were 200 soldiers in the original army, but today they were transferred to two hundred teams, not the five hundred people discovered before;

The back hall is where the emperor and the empress dowager are. On weekdays, several princes take turns to serve, and there is a team of ten husbands here to take care of them. The east road of the courtyard is all the princes, concubines and royal families. The west road is captured

There were more than a thousand court officials, their families and provincial officials in the vassal state, and the conditions were very simple and harsh. Most of them could only live in the open air in the courtyard, and there were about fifty Jin soldiers guarding each. Now these are the only ones that are known.

"Everyone said, it was really hard for these information to come.

"Well, it's not easy to get these information in a hurry!" Zhao Qi said, very satisfied with Erwa's performance. "The focus of the enemy's defense is the front hall, the main hall and the three doors, and the emperor and his ministers who travel north to the north

There are not many people, this is a favorable condition. I want to arrange this, so we are divided into three assault groups: the first group consists of fifty people, attacking through the back door with the trench as a cover, and clearing the guards in the backyard spread toward the two wings.

Divide into several groups, clearing out the enemy guards from two routes and the personal soldiers of the main hall Xiao Qing!”

"The second assault group has a mission of thirty people, hidden in the Guandi Temple. After the yard starts, it will quickly attack and control the city gate and the urn city. After blowing up the city gate, put down the suspension bridge and connect the third brigade into the city!"

"The third assault group consists of fifty people. Their mission is to quickly launch an attack from the main gate after receiving the attack signal. Two pincer attacks quickly eliminate the Jin army in the courtyard and control the entire courtyard, so as to defend and wait for the third brigade.

Reinforcements entered the city, and then covered the emperor and his ministers who traveled north to withdraw from Pingji and escorted them to Wuma Mountain!" Zhao Qi said.

"Yes, Er Master, we understand!" Erwa, Wang Fu and the two captains nodded.

"It is important to be important. The action must be fast, clean and neat. Do not drag it down. If you encounter an emergency, you can deal with it first, and you don't have to wait for an order!" Zhao Qi said, "Below, let's show your magical powers across the Eight Immortals. I don't care how to enter the city, but

When I act, I will see you appear in front of me. When encountering accidents, you must be calm and make it important to escape. If I die, the captain Lei Zhenshan will be replaced by the commander of the brigade, and the death will be replaced by Wangfu!”

"If you are the country and the king, you will die without regrets!" Everyone said with politeness. Everyone knew the danger of this mission. They robbed people from the army of ten thousand horses, and were forced to rescue thousands of people from the city with tight defenses. The difficulty is conceivable

I know, but the prince will be with them, which will increase the confidence of those who participate in the action!

Then, the commando team broke into pieces, hid their weapons, dressed up as various characters, and mixed in through the four city gates...

It was soon You hour, and the whole city was covered with curfew. The sound of Jin army patrol horses knocking on the stone roads came out on the street, and they fell into silence early. Zhao Xia hid in the trench behind the Qi Mansion compound, waiting for the attack.

The timing was unrestrained. This raid was somewhat different from the special operations he had experienced in the past in a strictly different sense.

For this operation, the commando did not conduct special training or special equipment, and even had no drills during the preparation stage. They were temporarily decided and organized. It can be said that it deviated from the special operations mode and was very risky.

risk.

Regarding the question of whether the combat target is worth taking risks, Zhao Qiong believes that it is completely worth it. Whether in ancient or modern times, hostages or prisoners are directly related to the dignity of a country. If it involves soldiers, it also affects the honor of the army.

Therefore, it is generally believed that the rescue of prisoners of war is of great significance. The high status and special status of this prisoner are related to the fate of the country and the direction of history. It is also a nation that bears a thousand years of shame, so even if it sacrifices itself

They must be rescued.

"Second Master, firelight!" Wang Fu gently touched the prince and pointed to the night sky in the north and said, "It's the end of the moon now, there is no moon in the sky, and the firelight in the north is very big, reflecting half of the sky red.

"Second Master, there is also a fire in the south!" Xifu also came quietly to report.

"The first and second brigades have already taken action. When the Jin army in the city moves, we will start to take action!" Zhao Qiong said. According to the plan, once the first and second brigades succeed, they will set fire to send signals immediately. There is no radio station or mobile phone in this era.

, this method can only be used to transmit information.

The Jin army in the city soon discovered the fire and immediately sent a scout cavalry to check it out. Soon the news came that the Wumashan rebel army was attacking Gaoyi and Baixiang. The battle was extremely fierce, and the defenders in both places were no longer supported.

Request Zhaozhou to send troops to reinforce.

At this moment, Han Li Bu and Liu Yanzong were not there. The commander of the Wanhue Luguan was the highest leader. He knew that both cities had plundered Song Dynasty craftsmen and countless treasures, and did not dare to neglect them after receiving the report.

But he was worried that he had fallen into the plan of the Song people to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he took advantage of the loopholes and seized the city of Zhaozhou. So Eluguan sent two thousand reinforcements to the two cities and sent people to report Han Libu at the city of Zhending.

He asked him to send troops back to the rescue, and sent reconnaissance cavalry to all directions in the city.

Hearing a turmoil in the city and then fell into silence again, Zhao Qi waved his hand, and the shooter under the wall shot a crossbow arrow, and the Jin soldiers on the corner tower fell silently, covering their throats. The assault team lies under the wall immediately.

He took the ladder and sent the sand pile into the yard. Soon the back door was opened, and the first commando hidden in the ditch entered one after another, divided into five groups and rushed towards their respective targets, and the prelude to the battle opened...
