The last three kingdoms

Chapter 489

Chi Ying couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect how quickly the summit would request the implementation of a backup plan. Obviously, the senior officials of the Guanzhong Military Division were very angry at this failure. Will not hesitate to take the risk, ready to implement a backup plan.

The backup plan is intended to be a supplement to the instigation plan, and a compensatory measure when the instigation plan fails.The plan requires Chiying to sneak into the finished gunpowder warehouse and detonate the finished gunpowder stacked in the warehouse.

The power of gunpowder is well known. Even the thick walls of Chang'an City can be leveled. If the entire gunpowder warehouse exploded, it would be enough to lift Chezhanggou into the air.The primary goal of this plan is to destroy the gunpowder workshop of the Shu army, so that the Shu army temporarily loses the production capacity of gunpowder. The second is to let Chiying and the supporting Wei spies in the chaotic situation after the big explosion occurred in the gunpowder workshop. In the state, look for opportunities to steal valuable documents or hostage artisans with skills.

But Chiying was deeply worried. When the backup plan was put forward, Chiying had mentioned his opinion to Shangfeng as the front-line intelligence officer. In Chiying's analysis, the difficulty of the backup plan And it’s quite big. It doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want once you’ve sneaked into the gunpowder workshop. On the contrary, the gunpowder warehouse’s control is so strict that the gunpowder workshop ranks first and second. With Chi Ying's current status, it is quite difficult to infiltrate.

Secondly, there is another important reason. Once the gunpowder workshop explodes, the consequences will be immeasurable. It's not that Chiying is afraid of death, but if he dies under his own explosion in a daze, that would be a big game.Gunpowder has no eyes. Once the gunpowder warehouse is ignited, it is still unknown whether it will be able to escape. It is true that it is important to destroy the gunpowder production capacity of the Shu Kingdom, but since the Shu Kingdom has mastered the formula and production technology of gunpowder, it will not take long. It can also be easily reproduced.

At that time, Chi Ying also put forward reasonable feedback, but he was in a humble position and had no power of veto. To die, he submitted a detailed report to the peak and re-evaluated the feasibility of the backup plan. With the attention of the upper echelon of the military commander, some rectifications can be made to the backup plan. At least in the current situation, it is really difficult to sneak into the gunpowder warehouse.

But what Chiying didn't expect was that the upper echelons of the military commander did not adopt his opinion, and instead, after the failure of the instigation operation, the backup plan was soon to be implemented.

Of course, the backup plan does not require Chi Ying to complete it alone. The upper echelons of the military commander also deeply considered the difficulty of the task, and specially dispatched more than ten highly skilled spies to sneak into the gunpowder workshop to assist Chi Ying mission accomplished.

These highly skilled spies are not ordinary masters, but high-level spies specially trained by the military commander, and they all have the ability to reach heaven and earth.It can be said that this time, in order to obtain the formula technology of gunpowder, the military commander simply spared no expense. Such a large amount of money has never been seen in Chiying's tenure as a military marquis for such a long time.

Chi Ying took a deep breath, looked around for no one, then stuffed the note into his mouth, chewed the note calmly, and swallowed it into his stomach.

After being a spy for so many years, Chi Ying has always maintained a high degree of vigilance. He pays attention to every detail and handles all possible loopholes carefully. In his opinion, if he wants to survive for a long time in the heart of the enemy, he must Always maintain good habits, and any negligence will cost you your life.

The cliff at the back of the mountain is very remote, and the entire Chezhang Valley is immersed in a dead silence. When Chiying was lying in the tent, his mind did not stop for a moment, thinking about every implementation step of the backup plan .

According to the prior agreement, the backup plan will be implemented tomorrow night. Under the cover of night, more than a dozen master spies will infiltrate into Chezhanggou, preparing to infiltrate the gunpowder warehouse.In this operation, Chi Ying will take on the role of guide and guide passers-by. The scope of his responsibility is to respond to the infiltration of spy masters and guide the infiltrated spies, so that they can accurately attack the gunpowder warehouse.

Although the defense of the gunpowder warehouse is very strict, Chi Ying knows that all the masters who came this time can block ten with one. If the sneak attack fails, they will use a strong attack. Gunpowder Workshop is inevitable.

There was no sound at night, and Chi Ying divided ten soldiers into two squads, one squad and one squad, and took turns guarding here during the day and night. At least on the surface, the positive attitude shown by Chi Ying was commendable.

After a sleepless night, Chi Ying also came out of the tent and walked under the starry sky, his chest was so oppressed that he wanted to come out to get some air, but as soon as he came out, he heard the sentinel shouting sharply: "Who is it? stop!"

Chi Ying was a little annoyed, could it be that this soldier was blind, even he didn't recognize him?However, Chi Ying quickly discovered that the sentry's shout was not directed at him, but was directly directed at the grass in front of him.

There was a noisy sound in the grass, and a thin figure stood up from the grass. Judging by his age, he was a relatively young man, with unkempt hair and blood stains all over his body. Under the moonlight, he was obviously hideous and terrifying.

The sentinel put an arrow on the bow and shouted sharply: "Hands up, come out!"

The man looked a little trembling, trembling and walked over here.

Chi Ying looked at it, the man was wearing a craftsman's newspaper, obviously he didn't know which process he escaped from.Chi Ying couldn't help secretly happy, if this person is really a gunpowder workshop craftsman, it would be an opportunity for him.

He took a step forward, staring at the ragged man with stern eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you and why did you come here? Do you know that leaving the gunpowder workshop is a death penalty!"

With a plop, the man fell to his knees in front of Chiying, and said repeatedly: "Master, please spare me! Lord, try it out! The little one was originally a craftsman in the raw material workshop, but because of his negligence, he made a mistake in the proportion of the formula and was punished. He was beaten and threatened by the steward. The villain had some grievances with the steward before, but this time he took revenge and wanted to put the villain to death, so he asked the military master to rescue him. Even if the villain is a cow, he still has to repay the military master kindness."
