After the twenty-three dead soldiers gathered together, Li Dingguo looked around and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the biggest key point and most critical factor in this battle lies in quick action. Only before the Qing army wakes up, our army can take action first and take action, is the key to unexpected victory. Therefore, for this action, our general's arrangement is..."

Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces, listened carefully to Li Dingguo finishes the specific arrangements of the entire action.

Li Dingguo explained the key points of this action three times in detail. After every dead soldier remembered it in his heart, he shouted again: "Okay, I'll finish it. Do you all understand the arrangements for this action?"

"I understand!" Below is a shouting in an almost uniform manner.

Li Dingguo nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at Zhao Jiu, and ordered: "Very good, let Zhao Jiu be the person in charge of this operation, and Captain Zhao is responsible for the entire operation arrangement. Everyone must obey his command."

When Zhao Jiu heard that Li Dingguo had made himself the person in charge, he looked surprised, but he quickly looked solemn and serious. He saluted Li Dingguo solemnly and said loudly: "Yes, I am here to Zhao Jiu to ensure the successful completion of the appointment. Please rest assured."

That night, the dark clouds were as bright as ink, covering the entire sky tightly. Although the ground was still covered with white snow, it was only a slight reflection of the snow, and the degree of visibility was greatly reduced. In such a dim and dull night, it was a good time to act.

At midnight, the operation team led by Zhao Jiu was in a secret room, in a secret room, everyone wore a piece of armor similar to the Qing army, and only tied a white cloth towel on their arms, thinking it was marked. Everyone brought three hand-throwing thunder, ignition objects and fuses, and everyone carried a sharp untied knife for melee and quick action.

After these warriors were dressed up and were about to start the action, Li Dingguo, accompanied by a group of guards, came to the room silently.

He brought a large can of rice wine, and when he got into the room, he sifted a glass for everyone.

Li Dingguo raised his wine glass, half of the cup stood like a wood. Under the dim candlelight, you can see the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and a faint light of tears also appeared in his eyes.

"Dear brothers, I will not say much, all in the wine." Li Dingguo said in a trembling voice: "I hope that all of you will go smoothly, and successfully blow up the Tartar artillery, relieve the worries of the inner city of our Tang army, and let our Tang army Pingnan Town A camp, and finally leave some seeds. I will thank you for this glass of wine first."

After Li Dingguo finished speaking, he held the cup in one hand and held the bottom in the other, and patted everyone with one hand, then raised his neck and drank it all.

Then, he threw the wine glass hard on the ground, and with a bang, the fine porcelain wine glass was smashed to pieces.

Everyone's eyes were filled with tears, but they didn't say anything. They just drank the glass of wine with their necks and sipped.

Then, everyone smashed the wine glass in their hands to the ground again, and there was only a sound of scattering wine glasses scattered all over the ground, shining with a slight faint light under the reflection of the candlelight.

Seeing that everyone had finished drinking, Li Dingguo bowed his fists to everyone, and after sending military salutes, he emphasized the key points of this action to everyone, and came to Zhao Jiu and patted him on the shoulder hard.

"Brother Zhao Jiu, please." Li Dingguo said in a deep voice.

"Mayor Li, don't worry." Zhao Jiu's face was firm and his answer was simply powerful.

Zhao Jiu gave another salute to Li Dingguo, and then ordered the twenty-three dead soldiers to gather, leave the room, come to a yard, open a seemingly abandoned manhole cover, light a torch, and follow the steps beside the well, and go down the steps.

Li Dingguo stood by the well and watched them go down the well in silence. After all the people there entered the well, he slowly raised his hand and saluted him solemnly.

There was a secret door under this abandoned well. Zhao Jiu and everyone pushed the door open and saw a deep secret passage in front of him. As soon as the door was pushed, a cold tide came to his face with a strong smell of earth.

Under the leadership of Zhao Jiu, the group held a torch and went deeper along the stairs. Along the way, Zhao Jiu was still emphasizing the key points of the action later.

"Dear brothers, listen. We will come out later at the junction of a horse-faced horse wall at the Ximen City Wall. Mayor Li has just explained this location. Not far from it, there is a horse road up the city wall. From here, we launched two troops, one from the horse road up the city wall, and exploded more than ten cannons on the city wall. The other one went along the city wall and blew up all the cannons under the city that had not yet been transported to the city wall."

"Don't worry, Captain Zhao, we've recorded it."

Zhao Jiu stared at the faces of the people who were reflected by the candlelight, and then reminded him: "Everyone, the key to this operation is to fight quickly. If you encounter the Qing army patrolling the night, don't bother and solve it immediately. In short, it is the most important thing to concentrate all your efforts and blow up the cannons."

"We'll understand."

Everyone walked in the dark passage for about a quarter of an hour and arrived at the end of the underground passage. Everyone climbed up the steps and came to an empty space on the horse-faced wall.

"At this time, everyone, please light the fuse here, then turn off the torch, and then prepare to set off." Zhao Jiu ordered in a deep voice.

In the darkness, the fuses worn on each person's shoulders immediately lit on the torch. After all, Zhao Jiu turned off the torch. In the darkness, the fuses that were lit were like stars.

"I'll take a look at the situation outside."

After Zhao Jiu finished speaking, he first pushed open a small window-like movable brick, cat-like, poked his head out, and looked outside.

He saw that because the weather was very cold, the Qing army was already very lazy at this time. Whether on or under the city wall, there was not even a single Qing army guarding it. However, the closest to the inner city, there were Qing army patrolling back and forth, as if to prevent the Tang army from coming down from the city.

Zhao Jiu thought to himself that it seemed that the Qing army was indeed self-reliant and believed that it had surrounded the Tang army like an iron barrel. The Tang army in the inner city would never be able to break out, so he was so careless and relaxed. Now, he happened to be surprised and gave them a ruthless and heavy sudden attack.

Seeing the cannons standing quietly under the faint snow light, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but sneer on his face.

Without hesitation, he immediately issued an order to attack the entire army.

Twenty-three team members crawled out of the small window-like exit and immediately launched two troops, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, they lit the lead ropes of hand-throwing thunder with a fuse, and ran towards their selected cannons.

The Qing general who was responsible for defending these artillery was Shi Mingxiong, the general of the Han army's Zhenghuang Banner, and was also the subordinate of Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun. At this time, he was still drinking secretly in his own tent.

Although the Qing army strictly prohibited drinking in the battle formation to avoid misleading the situation at the battle, Shi Mingxiong has always been domineering and does not take these regulations seriously at all. Moreover, he arranged many confidants to guard outside the tent to ensure that there would be no emergencies.

Under the dim light, Shi Mingxiong was chewing heavily. Next to him, a servant dressed in a woman's clothes and heavy makeup was urging to drink with a diligent and lewd expression on his face. Shi Mingxiong was smiling lewdly, and his big hands covered with black hair wandered back and forth on the servant, making the servant become more and more erratic. Shi Mingxiong was laughing, flirting with him vaguely, and at the same time, he kept drinking the glass of wine that the servant persuaded him.

Seeing that Shi Mingxiong was already blushing, the servant said coquettishly: "General Shi, look at you, after drinking so much wine, how are you drunk? How can we be happy later? I feel sorry for you very much."

Shi Mingxiong sneered, turned his face, his greasy mouth kissed him hard on his face, and a large ball of powder was stained. He chuckled and said, "Small! You don't know how much I drink, but I've just drunk this wine. Let me tell you, you will wash your anus well later. I won't kill you tonight!"

The servant said hurriedly and coquettishly: "Oh, General Shi is the most powerful. Your thing is so thick and long. How can I afford it for such a powerful person? I am just worried about the general."

A grim smile flashed across Shi Mingxiong's mouth, and he leaned forward and grabbed him hard, with a ferocious and proud look on his face. He whispered to the servant: "Hmph, you guy, just keep me comfortable! I guarantee that you will enjoy delicious food and drink with me in the future and have endless wealth and glory. Let me tell you that when all these artillery cannons are transported to the city tomorrow, our Han army will make the first contribution in the battle to attack the inner city of Vladivostok. By then, I will definitely be promoted again, and if I am promoted, I will naturally be able to benefit you."

When the servant heard Shi Mingxiong's words, he became more and more charming, laughing endlessly, and screamed: "Oh, I know that General Shi is the best for me. On the contrary, I am born with General Shi's man and die with General Shi's ghost. In this life, I don't want anything. As long as I stay with General Shi, I will be content."

Shi Mingxiong laughed, then squeezed the servant's butt hard, and said proudly: "You guy, I will never treat you badly, so I can understand the charm so much. And after the war is over, I will work with Song Guofu, Pan Xiao and the two generals to get the big deal done."

Seeing his face appearing vicious and complacent, the servant didn't feel like he looked calm and whispered to him: "General Shi, do you, General Song and General Pan really want to deal with King Huaishun?"

"Hmph, that's natural. Geng Er is just a mine disciple in Shandong. I'll kill him like a dog!" Shi Mingxiong said with a sinister face: "Such a useless person is worthy of a high-ranking title like King Huaishun. He is really lucky! I'm not convinced by this person who is unvirtuous and incompetent. The two generals of Song Guofu and Pan Xiaohe were also extremely despised by this person. At the beginning of this year, we had discussed to launch a mutiny, except for this guy, but the imperial court was about to conquer Liaoxi, and Geng's thieves were drawn out to fight. We had no idea how to start, so we could only do it temporarily. But after the battle was completed, we returned to Shengjing, and it was necessary to die!"

(Note: Shi Mingxiong, Song Guofu, and Pan Xiaohe's mutiny incident was recorded in the "Qing Dynasty Records" and was not fabricated by the author. However, in real history, the rebellion of the three of them was discovered by Geng Zhongming before it even occurred, so he took the initiative to kill Shi Mingxiong, Song Guofu, Pan Xiaohe and all his family members.)

After Shi Mingxiong finished speaking, he pounded the table hard, shaking the table of wine and food, and almost overturned.

Shi Mingxiong said resentfully: "Originally, I didn't want to be a deliberate enemy of this guy, but this guy didn't know how to politely punish me and severely punished me for taking away fugitives as slaves without authorization, which made me lose all my face. It was really hateful. I naturally must abandon him for Geng Zhongming's stupid boss who was against me, Shi Mingxiong!"

Shi Mingxiong said this, paused for a moment, and sneered again: "If things are done, I will eliminate the Song Guofu and Pan Xiaohe who were in charge of the incident. In the future, the court will pursue the death of Geng Zhongming on them. I will claim to be a loyal minister to protect the lord. I will probably not be able to escape from the general's palm. I will take a step back and say that even if the court knows the truth in the future, the rice is already ripe, and the court can only helpless."

Seeing that he was intoxicated and intoxicated, the servant hurriedly said, "General Shi, you can just know this in your heart. You don't have to say it. You need to be careful of the partition walls. Anyway, I am determined to follow General Shi. General Shi, in the future, no matter whether you succeed or fail, no matter how you end up, I will follow my life and death."

Shi Mingxiong nodded, and a rare tenderness appeared in his hideous eyes. He put down the wine bowl, took the servant into his arms, and murmured: "Well, it's hard for you. You have been following me for so many years. I will naturally see your loyalty. Don't worry, I will definitely let you stay by my side forever and will not let you down."

Seeing that he was moved, the servant whimpered and pounced on him. The two of them suddenly felt lustful. Shi Mingxiong roared, carried him away from the wine table, and walked towards the bed on the side.

Then both of them took off their clothes in a hurry. After teasing, they were about to enter when they suddenly heard a deafening burst sound outside the tent.

The explosion was so huge that it almost knocked Shi Mingxiong's eardrum. His originally high-profile gaze immediately shrank extremely softly. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as almost impotence.

Shi Mingxiong looked furious. He pushed away the panicked servant below and hurriedly began to wear clothes. At the same time, he shouted at the door of the tent: "Bastard! What are you doing?! In the middle of the night, who is so fucking impatient to live, secretly setting off firecrackers here!"
