Chapter 888: Looking for Opportunities
Luo Wu's words made everyone nod in agreement, but in the current situation, how to get out of the city is a very real problem. During the war, the city gates and city walls were the most heavily defended. How could I and others get out?
But regarding this problem, several people are looking at it with big eyes and small eyes, and no one can provide a good method.
Finally, in desperation, Luo Wudao said: "Let's do this. I will go to the foot of the city wall today to see if I can find a gap to sneak out of the city. You can go look for other ways. Come back tomorrow night. Gather here. If I leave the city today, then everyone doesn’t have to worry about it anymore. You just need to protect yourself and wait for the army to capture the city. If that doesn’t work, we will think of other ways. "
Everyone nodded in agreement with Luo Wu's words. When everyone turned around and prepared to leave, Zhang Daya suddenly said: "Master Luo, there is a place that I think you can go and see."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Da Ya pointed towards the northeast of the city and said: "Water Gate!"
Everyone suddenly realized that yes, Shuimen and Anfeng are close to Jueshui, which is the Shihe River in reality. There is a water gate in the northeast corner of the city, which leads directly to Jueshui Wharf outside the city. However, after the army besieged the city, here too It has been closed and heavily defended.
However, if you are a person with good water skills, you can find an opportunity to sneak into the water at night, and then dive out of the city. However, you must be a person with excellent water skills, and the defense of the water gate is tighter than that of ordinary city gates, but it is indeed a A relatively feasible approach.
Luo Wu nodded and said: "Tomorrow, Daya, you go and see first, and who among you has the best water quality, so that you can slip away and have a good look. Maybe that's our only way out of the city."
After saying that, Luo Wu asked everyone to disperse. Since yesterday, the defense in the city has become tighter than in the previous days. As soon as it gets dark, civilians can hardly be seen walking around outside. Fortunately, everyone is a ranger. It is much more convenient to move than ordinary people, so that it does not affect the centralized discussion.
After everyone left, Luo Wu went back to his room to sleep. It was not until the third watch that he put on his night clothes and went out towards the city wall. Unfortunately, he used his time at night to destroy almost the entire city wall. They all walked around, but didn't find any chance to leave the city, and finally had to return to their own yard.
Amidst the uneasiness and anxiety, Luo Wu finally spent the day. At the appointed time in the evening, Zhang Daya and others finally arrived at his yard. Seeing that Luo Wu was still there, everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed. Fortunately, Zhang Daya's words ignited everyone's hopes again.
He had already found a way out of the city. There was a restaurant near Shuimen called Wangjiang Restaurant. Zhang Daya had drank there twice before and knew that the backyard of the restaurant was connected to a canal, which was connected to the water jetty at Shuimen. Similarly, they can enter the water through the channel, and then dive out of the water to get out of the city.
Zhang Daya had already taken a look secretly, and was sure that he could dive into the water from now on. However, he was still not sure how to pass through the water gate, because the iron gate of the water gate was made of iron bars as thick as an arm. Although Zhang Daya was a ranger, and I know how to swim, but I don't have much confidence that I can pry out the iron gate of the water gate enough to allow one person to pass through the exit.
Luo Wu thought for a moment and said resolutely: "So-and-so goes with you. The information must be sent to the army as soon as possible, and things will change later. Since Brother Shi trusts so-and-so, so-and-so must take on this responsibility, even though so-and-so's water quality is not as good as Da Ya's , but there is no problem in helping. As long as Daya can successfully send out the information, even if I am discovered, I will be worthy of Brother Shi. At that time, I will leave my wife and children in Luoyang to all of you."
As soon as Luo Wu's words came out, everyone was silent. Among the people present, Luo Wu and Zhang Daya were the most powerful, and only Zhang Daya had the best water ability. Luo Wu could only barely swim a few feet in the water. Far, as for water-based, it is. . .
But this is the best way,
If the two of them entered the water at the same time, at least the chance would be greater. Moreover, to put it bluntly, Luo Wu might be able to attract the attention of the defenders and provide cover for Zhang Daya.
After a moment of silence, one of them said: "Don't worry, Mr. Luo, even if something happens to us, Mr. Hou and Brother Shi will help take care of the family. And with so many brothers helping to take care of us, my sister-in-law and eldest nephew will not suffer." Everyone else also comforted Luo Wu.
"Okay, this is just a precaution." Once Luo Wu made up his mind, he stopped thinking about it and said, "Everyone, please help make preparations. I will write down the information first and make it waterproof and sealed."
When everyone heard this, they all helped to make preparations. After a while, everyone was ready. Luo Wu and Zhang Daya took the prepared water bottles and other items and prepared to leave. When they were leaving, Luo Wu suddenly said: "If neither You nor Daya succeed, Next, I will leave it to you, Zhao Si, and you must send the information."
The young man named Zhao Si came out and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Brother, we will send the information no matter what."
"Okay, let's go." Luo Wu didn't say much, and he and Zhang Daya left the small courtyard and disappeared into the vast night. Everyone else also left the small courtyard and headed towards their destination.
Ten miles west of Anfeng City, the Andong Army camp was set up here. At this time, it was just getting dark, and Huangfu Chaobo was gathering everyone to discuss matters. The war in Anfeng had been going on for two days, and the war in Yulou also started today. Everything was within everyone's expectations.
However, Huangfu Chaobo was always a little uneasy. Even Guo Jia felt that the war was too normal. Logically speaking, Yuan Shu's army made such a big fuss, but it was thunder and rain. In addition to increasing a large number of troops along the Huai River line, there was no unusual movement in other places. This was incredible, but everyone still didn't see anything wrong.
After everyone discussed for a while, there was still no conclusion. In desperation, Huangfu Chaobo had to order everyone to retreat, but Huangfu Chaobo sat alone in the tent and carefully examined the map of Anfeng and the surrounding cities, as if he wanted to see something from the middle, but unfortunately, he didn't see any clues in the end.
In the end, Huangfu Chaobo had to give up helplessly, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger. Seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo simply left the tent and inspected the camp under the protection of Dian Wei.
