The last three kingdoms

Chapter 493 Chapter 492 Infiltrating the Workshop
The gunpowder workshop is located at the bottom of Chezhanggou, the flattest ditch. Due to the recent relocation, the whole workshop is newly built, and the thick log fences are cut down and built with the unique white birch trees in Chezhanggou. There is still birch bark on it, which looks primitive and rough.There are many houses inside the workshop, row upon row, in order.

Although it was around the middle of the night, the huge pine oil lamps lit in the workshop compound were still brightly lit. Groups of soldiers armed with guns and sabers patrolled back and forth, and the entire workshop was shrouded in strict security.

When entering Chezhanggou for the first time, Jinpeng could feel the tense atmosphere in the whole valley. There were endless guard posts and secret posts. The defense of the Shu army was obviously strengthened because of the absconding incident a few days ago.This is just the security outside the camp. Outside the workshop, the level of security has been significantly strengthened. It is not easy to break through the outer layer of defense alone.

However, since the Guan Zhongjun Commander had already planned this operation, he had already made complete preparations. Although Jinpeng brought only a dozen people this time, all of them were masters with unique skills. One hundred may not be enough, but these masters alone are more than enough to face dozens of ordinary soldiers.

Chiying came to Jinpeng's side, pointed at the buildings inside the workshop, and said in a low voice, "Master Captain, enter through the gate, the gunpowder production site is on the left, and the craftsmen's workshop is on the right." The place to stay, while the warehouse is located at the back, far away from the front. If you enter from the front of the gate, you will be discovered by the guards of the Shu army. You can only go around the small gate at the back and enter from there. Straight to the warehouse."

Jinpeng has also seen the schematic diagram of the gunpowder workshop, but compared with the map, the scene is more intuitive. Chiying has been sneaking into the gunpowder workshop for a while, and followed the workshop from Tianshui to Ba Mausoleum, has witnessed the new construction process of the workshop, and knows the situation inside the workshop in detail.

If you enter through the front gate, you will be noticed immediately by the guards guarding the gate. You must know that the defensive force invested by the Shu army at the main gate is the strongest. Don't look at the fact that there are only a dozen people coming and going to patrol now. The team of Jianwei Jianjun Division will be surrounded.

So Chi Ying suggested that Jin Peng detour to the back of the camp, there is a small gate at the back, usually guarded by a team or a dozen guards.Entering through the small gate, you can go straight to the gate of the warehouse. This is the most ideal shortcut for the inter-military team that aims to attack the gunpowder warehouse this time.

Jin Peng also saw the difficulty of finding a breakthrough from the front, so he followed Chi Ying's suggestion, went around to the small gate behind the barracks, and plotted to enter the workshop from there.

The night provides the best protection for Wei Guojian's troops, allowing them to travel freely in the dark. Although the road conditions are bad or even there is no road at all, for these masters with unique skills, all this is not a problem. He is as light as a swallow, and his steps are as fast as flying. Even in the rough and uneven terrain, his steps are stable, and he has no concept of difficulty in walking.

The only one who kept complaining was the craftsman Hu Liu, who bumped and mixed along the way, if Chi Ying hadn't been pulling him by, he would have almost stumbled several times.If Hu Liu hadn't slowed down the speed of the entire team, I'm afraid they could have rushed to the back door earlier.

Jin Peng turned his head to look at Hu Liu several times, but he didn't make a sound, because he knew that Hu Liu was just an ordinary craftsman without martial arts skills. It is very good, even if he reprimands him again, it will not help the matter.

Hu Liu wanted to cry but had no tears, and complained again and again.Chi Ying said in a low voice: "Shut up! Don't annoy the captain, if he is not happy, your head should be moved."

Hu Liu was intimidated and looked at Jin Peng's back in surprise, but he didn't say anything.

The gunpowder workshop occupies a huge area. From the shaft gate to the back gate, it is almost a big circle. After walking for less than half an hour, it can be regarded as arriving at the back gate of the workshop.

The back door is just a narrow wooden door, which is not comparable in size to the Yuanmen, and the defense force is also much weaker. There are at least dozens of people guarding the Yuanmen, while the back door is only led by a corporal, only five Individuals guard here.

Jin Peng nodded secretly. It seems that going around the back door is indeed the best choice. As long as he can easily break through the back door and enter the gunpowder warehouse, this operation is [-]% sure.

"Get ready!" Jin Peng ordered the two men in black, who were the fastest and best at assassination, to kill the five guards at the door.

"Wait a minute!" Chi Ying said to Jin Peng: "Lord Colonel, the corporal guarding the gate knows his subordinates, and the subordinates go over to set him up first, and when the subordinates do it, it's not too late for the adults to do it again."

Even if Jin Pengdang agreed, Chi Ying stepped forward immediately.

"Who is it? Stop!" A soldier on the opposite side shouted in a low voice.

Chi Ying chuckled and said, "Chief Qiu, why, you don't even know me?"

Wuchang Qiu saw it, and immediately ordered his soldiers to put down their knives and guns, greeted him with a smile, and said, "So it's Chief Lin, why is it so late, and he's still outside the square?"

Chi Ying immediately shook his head and smiled wryly: "I was ordered by Deputy Commander Shen to go to the cliff to guard the back mountain. I just got the news, and I have to report it to Deputy Commander Shen in person. I also ask Wuchang Qiu to make it easier."

"Does Chief Lin know the password?"

Chi Ying shook his head and said: "I was already deployed to the back mountain the day before yesterday. The password on the workshop is changed every day. I really don't know."

Wuchang Qiu said with some embarrassment: "Master Lin, although you and I have a good relationship, you also know very well that the military discipline in the workshop is strict, and no one is allowed to bend the law for personal gain. Without a password, it is really difficult for brothers to let go. Please forgive me."

Chi Ying chuckled and said, "It's okay. Chief Qiu, lean over your ears. I have a password that the commander personally told me. It must not be known to outsiders. Let me tell you alone."

Chief Qiu was very curious, and immediately approached Chiying, and really pricked up his ears, wanting to hear the top-secret password, but as soon as he got close to him, he felt a chill in his lower abdomen. Looking down, Chiying He had been stabbed in the body with a dagger.Wuchang Qiu covered his abdomen with his hands, pointed at Chi Ying in despair and said, "You...you..."

Chi Ying sneered, and said: "Those who don't know the current affairs, today is your death day."

Since the two were very close, the other four people didn't know what was going on, so they felt a few cold arrows being shot suddenly. Caught off guard, those cold arrows were shot very accurately, and the four of them fell to the ground immediately. , all died unexpectedly.

With a wave of Jin Peng's hand, more than a dozen people filed in and entered the workshop.
