Chapter 8 second quarter

A huge map is painted on one of the white walls of the lobby of the "Xingyun Pavilion", covering a radius of twenty miles from Piaocheng. Every corner of the floating river is faithfully painted on it.The floating city in the center is a square frame painted with red lacquer, with a cross mark in the center. On the other wall on the left is a map of the distribution of houses and streets in Piaocheng.The red cross marks also appear on this map, marking the "massacre room", the governor's mansion, the inspection room, the barracks and the gates respectively. There is a small crack in the wall where the "slaughterhouse" is located.It was the result of Pang Wenying's punch.

It was the first time Yu Runsheng and Qi Chu saw these two maps.However, even without them, Qi Chu knew every detail of all terrains and streets by heart.To him, it was just a bigger chessboard. Hua Que Wu glanced at the map for a few moments, then sipped his wine.He doesn't care at all.In this battle, he only took the position with the lowest risk, and as long as he continued to hold on to the intelligence network, he knew that he would not be in any danger. Shen Bingchen, Zhuo Xiaoyang, Lu Xun, and Wen Sixi had spent many days together in this hall, planning various tactics, and had already memorized the map, so they didn't take a second look at this moment.

Only Pang Wenying was still staring intently at the small, red floating city on the map. "Runsheng..." Pang Wenying asked his new military advisor, "...what do you think?" According to the information sent back from Piaocheng, the massacre of the slaughterhouse has been decided, and troops are currently being assembled, and troops will be dispatched in a few days at the latest. After getting the news, Pang Wenying immediately dispatched a fast horse envoy to urge the 300 elites who came from the capital to rush to Dai Town as soon as possible. "Father!" Hua Quewu rushed to say, "I think the enemy leader this time is that hateful Iron Claw again! This guy is hard to deal with. Besides, there are many people in the 'slaughterhouse', so they mobilized to attack." The number of people is probably twice as many as ours. I think it is better to avoid the front first and withdraw to a farther place to accumulate strength; they will attack from a long distance, and sooner or later they will be exhausted. They have to withdraw, and we will wait for them to retreat. Take advantage of the momentum to pursue and kill every single one!" Huaquewu smiled triumphantly after finishing speaking.

"Wu'er, this plan was good..." When Huaquewu heard these words, his heart suddenly turned cold.Pang Wenying continued: "...But will the opponent really be 'tired and tired'? Don't underestimate this guy, Iron Claw. If I were him, I would take advantage of the momentum and seize Dai Town first, and then attack our place after a day's rest. At that time, did we retreat to a further place? Then we were driven back to Kyoto step by step?" "I don't think the 'slaughterhouse' will attack twice as many people as us," Wen Sixi said. "Although the 'Slaughterhouse' claims to have 6,000 disciples, there are actually only about 4,000; and only half of them are the real direct line members of the 'Slaughterhouse', and the 'Slaughterhouse' cannot send them out of the city to fight for the rest. Therefore, I estimate that the attack on the 'slaughterhouse' has no more than 1,200 people—Zhu Ya needs to keep a considerable force in Piaocheng, just in case."

"So, we can win with a surprise army." Pang Wenying walked to the map and moved his fingers along the official road between Piaocheng and Daizhen. "On this road, we set up four lines of ambushes. Bingchen, Xiaoyang, Lu Xun, and Wen Sixi each lead the way. After waiting for the opponent's team to enter, they will launch together to cut off the opponent's long line. I will start from Dai Attack the town and break it stock by stock!" This is Pang Wenying's always proud tactics. Although his side will suffer certain losses, if he succeeds, there is a great chance of completely annihilating the main force of the enemy.

When everyone was contemplating, Yu Runsheng spoke for the first time. "This is an excellent formation. But I have a suggestion: don't wait for the 'slaughterhouse' team to enter to attack. Wait for them to retreat." "Retreat?" Huaquewu sneered. "What are you talking about? How could they retreat?" "If the 'massacre' is captured, they must be eager to return to the teacher for rescue." Yu Runsheng smiled confidently. "When they hurriedly withdrew, our ambush troops cut in from the horizontal one after another. It is enough to retreat after a battle, just to make the enemy panic. Then Master Pang sent troops from the back and gathered other ambush teams to fight their own way. Then chase after them. It is believed that less than 30% of them are destined to return to Piaocheng."

"Haha!" Huaquewu laughed exaggeratedly. "Are your two hundred men going to storm the 'slaughterhouse'? You're fucking dreaming!" "That's right. I've seen that scene many times in my dreams." Yu Runsheng didn't frown. "However, there is one condition for this method of warfare: my brother must attack at night." "That is to say, our side must drag Iron Claw's team into darkness?" Wen Sixi asked. "Then you can use the tactic that shopkeeper Jiang just used to avoid the front, abandon Dai Town and move to another place. Once the 'Slaughterhouse' team enters Dai Town, many people must loot wantonly, and Iron Claw will need to spend some time." Search the town."

"Runsheng, do you really have this confidence?" Pang Wenying asked.Although he knew that Yu Runsheng would never say anything he was not sure about, he still couldn't get rid of his worries. "Si Xi also said just now that Zhu Ya must have left many people in the city..." "Yes. Because that will be the time when the 'slaughterhouse' will reveal its weakness. The people in the city they can really use will not exceed six hundred people." It was not Yu Runsheng who answered, but Zhang Shuai who entered suddenly.He was still wearing spotless scribe clothes, gently waving a folded paper fan in his hand.

This was the first time Yu Runsheng saw this legendary figure of the underworld in the capital. Zhang Shuai is younger than he imagined.Yu Runsheng knew that Zhang Shuai, the "Master of Curses", had joined "Fengyilong" at the age of fourteen, and at the age of twenty-eight—that is, Yu Runsheng's current age—had ascended to the position of sacrificial wine and led "Fengyilong" Long" one-sixth of the power. Yu Runsheng paid special attention to Zhang Shuai's short brown and slightly shiny beard.When Zhang Shuai smiled, the beard on his lips curved into a confident shape.

The two exchanged their eyes for a short while, but one thing was confirmed: —He is the same kind of person as I am. Every time Zhang Shuai appeared, everyone in "Fengyilong Piaocheng Branch"—including Yu Runsheng—smelled a dangerous atmosphere. "That said..." Pang Wenying coughed unnaturally. "Where did you come from?" "That day there will be a mutiny in the 'slaughterhouse'. First the 'slaughterhouse' will lose at least one leader, and then everyone in the 'slaughterhouse' in the city will be demoralized by confusion and worry. Many will stay up all night Stay behind closed doors, unwilling to get involved in internal strife. No matter whether the mutiny is successful or not, whoever is the owner of the 'slaughter room' will have difficulty commanding the people at the bottom."

What Zhang Shuai said was what Yu Runsheng was thinking.Of course, Yu Runsheng still holds many trump cards, which Zhang Shuai has no way of knowing for the time being. "Why...why would there be a mutiny in the 'slaughterhouse'?" Huaquewu asked in disbelief. "Still picking this time?" "There is only one reason: Old Yu Bo." Yu Runsheng then replied: "He will definitely stay in the city. The main force leaves the city to attack. This is his golden opportunity to overthrow Zhu Ya." "Wait a minute." Pang Wenying said. "How do you know that old Yu Bo and Zhu Ya are at odds? Yes, our spies did find out that the two of them are not quarreling, but they are not going to take risks and rush to break up at this time, right?" "The 'Slaughterhouse' took so long to send troops to attack us, which already shows that there are differences in the 'Big Slaughterhouse'. Maybe they won't turn their faces immediately, but Old Yu Bo must be worried: If 'Feng Yilong' is eliminated, what will happen in the 'Slaughterhouse'?" After there is no foreign enemy, Zhu Ya will definitely point the finger at the inside to purge. I believe that Old Yu Bo has determined that this is the last chance, and he will never let it go in vain." Pang Wenying was silent, thinking carefully about Yu Runsheng and Zhang Shuai's inferences.Yes, the possibility is indeed very high.So which side of the rebellion will the two Iron Claw brothers belong to?Pang Wenying only hoped that Iron Claw would be on the losing side.He's the toughest one to deal with.The shadow of Zuo Feng and Tong Mucheng's death still lingers in Pang Wenying's heart. ——Is the day when the "slaughterhouse" sends out troops for an expedition, is it the time when it splits internally? ...that is the day of our final battle with the "slaughterhouse"... That fateful day will change the fate of many people at the same time.
