AWB Chapter 1058 Nighttime Plan
Chapter 1058 Nighttime Plan
That location is on a gentle slope in the middle; you can hit it from either the middle or from above.
It can be said that it is a very good position to attack.
After finalizing the attack plan, Lu Qingqing had a moment to look down at the foot of the mountain.
Perhaps due to the presence of the flood discharge outlet, the water level at the foot of the mountain has dropped considerably.
However, even after the water level dropped, no one went down.
Even though people live close together, everyone is still crammed into the upper half of the mountain.
By this time, the bodies that had died on the mountain due to fighting or trampling had all been disposed of.
They said they were dealing with it, but in reality, they just threw it all down the cliff.
Nowadays, all the good spots on the mountain are crowded with people, so there is absolutely no way there will be a place to erect a grave.
Even if the structure is erected at the lower location, it is very likely to be submerged by floodwaters.
Moreover, no one would want to go near the area where the floodwaters have receded.
That place is now not only piled with all sorts of items, but also with many bloated corpses.
Some of these corpses had just died, while others had drifted in from who-knows-where.
The corpses, which had been there for a long time, had decomposed and were emitting a strong stench.
The part of the body that was above water was surrounded by flies that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
The people on the mountain were afraid of contracting the plague if they approached the corpses, so they all kept their distance.
Lu Qingqing frowned as she looked at the giant's corpse, which had already turned into a corpse, in the floodwaters below.
Based on previous experience, the bodies found in floods will almost always carry viruses.
I fear that when the floodwaters recede, another epidemic will spread.
She sighed and dismissed the thought.
Judging from the current situation, the floodwaters are unlikely to recede anytime soon.
Let's focus on the immediate matter first.
After surveying the terrain, Lu Qingqing and Bai Song quietly returned to their camp.
At this moment, Sun Laohai and his family are leading a large number of soldiers to build a wall.
However, compared to simply stacking the stones together as before...
The construction of walls is much more professional now.
Two drainage ditches were dug on both sides of the wall, and rainwater flowed along the ditches to both sides.
In addition, Sun Laohai led his men to build a thatched shed above the location where the stone wall was to be built, to provide shelter from the rain.
They also lit many fires under the shed to bake the ground.
In addition to these preparations, a lot of straw mats and reed mats were also prepared under the shed.
These things were placed on top of the wall after it was built to prevent rainwater from washing away the structure.
There's nothing we can do; it's been raining non-stop lately.
If we wait until a sunny day to build the wall, who knows how long it will take.
Moreover, they are going to send a large force tonight to launch a surprise attack on Zhen Wu's team.
Building the wall will make those who stay behind much safer.
Lu Qingqing and Bai Song stepped forward and inquired about the progress.
Even if everyone in the team were at Sun Laohai's beck and call, it would still take until after dark to build the wall.
Building a wall is not simply a matter of placing stones on top and smearing them with sticky yellow mud.
Building a sturdy stone wall in the rain is a much more complicated process.
Lu Qingqing and the others didn't understand the intricacies of the matter, but seeing Sun Laohai's calm and composed demeanor, they felt reassured and entrusted the task to him.
Time quickly passed and evening arrived; by then, the outer wall had been completed.
Because of the plans for the evening, everyone except the staff on duty ate dinner early and went to bed.
Even the soldiers guarding Zhen Xiaoren were slumped over the table, half asleep.
Zhen Xiaoren knew they had spent the entire afternoon moving stones to build the wall, so he wasn't surprised they were so exhausted.
I even felt a little smug.
This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
After dinner, he went out under the pretext of going to the toilet.
The wall was indeed sturdy, but there were no suitable materials for the gate, so they used an unused flatbed cart.
They sealed the planks of the wooden cart with stones and mud.
People who want to get in or out need to remove the top panel of the cart and step across it.
However, this made his plans easier.
Zhen Xiaoren thought about his plans for the evening and slowly closed his eyes to rest.
In the middle of the night, Zhen Xiaoren opened his eyes to the sound of snoring.
He glanced at the sleeping soldier beside him and quietly slipped out of the tent.
After climbing out, I felt even more at ease listening to the snoring sounds coming from outside.
Before long, he arrived near the wall.
Because of the recent rain, the sun and moon have been on strike for quite some time.
At night, it's pitch black everywhere.
At this moment, only two large lanterns hanging above the wall could barely illuminate a small area, while the rest of the area was pitch black.
Looking at the four men on guard duty below the wall, he hid behind a tent.
There's no moon around, so it's difficult to determine the time.
However, according to his estimation, it should be late at night by now.
The time he and Zhen Wu agreed to carry out their plan was midnight.
Thinking of this, he put his hand to his mouth and made a few muffled dove calls.
After the birdsong was heard, Zhen Wu and his group, who were hiding in the woods not far away, tiptoed and quickly approached the stone wall.
Zhen Xiaoren stared intently at the stone wall in front of him until the door above made a slight creaking sound.
He glanced nervously at the soldiers standing guard by the door.
They breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that the children had fallen asleep while squatting.
However, they did not notice that the snoring sound that had been coming from behind the camp had disappeared.
Just as Zhen Wu and his group slipped in, intending to eliminate the few soldiers guarding the entrance first.
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers wielding knives rushed out of the tents on both sides.
The dozen or so men that Zhen Wu brought were cut down before they could even put up a fight.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Wu turned around and tried to run away.
However, the entrance had already been blocked by soldiers.
He turned to look at Zhen Xiaoren, who had been subdued behind him, his eyes filled with pleading for help.
But Zhen Xiaoren is now in dire straits himself!
After Qin Lang captured the man, Shi Yingguang and Zhang Tongpan took him away.
Their relatives had all been killed by Zhen Xiaoren.
I've hated this guy for ages!
Ignoring Zhen Xiaoren's pleas for mercy, they pulled out their knives and stabbed him viciously.
The men hated the guy so much that they stabbed him again and again.
They only stopped when Zhen Xiaoren could no longer beg for mercy.
On the other side, Zhen Wu also had his throat slit by Bai Song's soldiers.
The man who held the power of life and death over hundreds of refugees in the morning was killed with a single blow.
Seeing that the men had been dealt with, Bai Song stepped forward and cut off the heads of Zhen Xiaoren and Zhen Wu.
Then, Yan Xu was assigned to lead dozens of people to guard the house.
He then led the rest of his men straight to Zhen Wu's camp.
Along the way, the soundly sleeping refugees were awakened by the sound of their movements.
Peeking out, he saw so many men carrying knives and was so frightened that he shrank back into the tent.
Feeling uneasy, I listened to the footsteps gradually fading away.
People who can live in the mountains for so long must have a keen eye.
At this moment, not a single person made a sound.
When the group arrived in the dark, several torches were lit in Zhen Wu's camp.
Near each of the torches in the camp, there was one or two soldiers on duty.
However, at this moment, those people were all somewhat drowsy.
