Chapter 360 Assassination(1/2)
Thirty miles west of Chuanning County, 5,000 elite troops of the imperial court were stationed here, with a continuous tent and a solemn atmosphere.
When Du Yong and his party arrived, it was just evening, and the Huotou Army was cooking, and the smoke from the cooking stove was filled with a dangerous feeling of storm.
This is a flat land, with no danger to defend, but Nie Qingyun should have a deep meaning to station his troops here.
The soldiers have not yet rested, some have trained formations, some have fought against each other, and some have discussed tactics.
After Du Yong and others revealed their identities, they had a group of soldiers leading the way to the middle, where Nie Qingyun was at that time.
Slowly passing through the continuous camp tent, Du Yong found that everyone was nervous, with murderous intent in his eyes, as if he would burst out at any time.
That extremely depressing atmosphere makes people breathe hard, and occasionally a breeze blows, which makes people feel even more chill.
Dahei was under great pressure, so he quietly took a few steps forward and whispered to Du Yong: "Young Master, I'm so nervous!"
Du Yong comforted, "It's the first time I've experienced this kind of scene. I'm a little nervous. Take a few deep breaths."
Dahei was always like a stream, and immediately took a deep breath, and it was indeed a little better.
There is a huge tent in the middle, and this is the coach camp.
Du Yong glanced around and saw at least two hundred good players around him, which showed the defensive power. Their eyes swept over, as sharp as sharp knives.
Many people have lost their lottery on them, which shows that they have taken action today and are quite different.
At this time, a tall guard came over and said coldly: "Who is the matter?"
The soldiers leading the way immediately replied seriously: "These are the cavalry lieutenants and patrol guards from Qianzhou City who came to report their mission to Magistrate Nie. It is related to the elite team of the Fire Wolf Gang that was causing trouble in Chuanming County."
The state general manager has always been in charge of military and political control. Nie Qingyun took charge of the battle personally, so he was called Magistrate Nie.
The tall guard first checked the token, then asked some questions according to the rules, listened to Gao Qian's answers, and then let it go. While opening the curtain, he informed it: "Master Nie, Gao Qiwei leads the team to report the mission!"
After saying that, he nodded to Gao Qian. He knew Gao Qian, but that's the rules.
Gao Qian nodded at him, saying hello.
After a while, Nie Qingyun's hoarse and tired voice came from inside: "Come in!"
After entering the camp, Nie Qingyun was the only one inside, closing his eyes to ponder, his face pale and his breathing was a little uncomfortable.
Gao Qian immediately rushed forward and said in horror: "Mr. Nie, what's wrong with you?"
Du Yong and others also frowned. Nie Qingyun was obviously suffering internal injuries in this way.
Nie Qingyun opened his eyes and saw clearly the person coming. He grinned and explained: "A few little messes came to make trouble in the morning, and they were all broken into pieces by the guards."
Although what he said was easy, everyone knew that things were definitely not simple, and it should be an assassination incident.
There are five thousand elite warriors here. Those so-called small miscellaneous people can rush to the coach camp to cause trouble. It can be seen that they are definitely not ordinary people, at least they can only be achieved by the Jin Dynasty.
"What a courageous courage!"
Gao Qian immediately cursed, paused, and asked calmly: "Mr. Nie, who is it?"
Nie Qingyun said slowly: "Who else can you do? The Mengji people and the Poison Scorpion Gang are together. Their moves are both ruthless and strange."
Boss Qu cursed angrily: "Mu Feixiong is really a dog, he knows how to do this. No wonder his reputation was thrown away by Qin Sihai."
Nie Qingyun suppressed his hands and chuckled: "War is an absolute goal, and assassination is the livelihood of the Poison Scorpion Gang. Why don't Mu Feixiong leave it alone?"
Du Yong asked with concern: "Mr. Nie, do you have any trouble? Is there any medicine?"
Nie Qingyun waved his hand and explained: "It's nothing serious. At that time, I just gave a few palms, which touched my old wounds. Now I have suppressed them. I'm quite tired and can't do it for the time being."
Gao Qian immediately bowed: "Sir, have a good rest, let's report the mission tomorrow."
“Not that serious.”
Nie Qingyun smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone sits down and talks, pour water and drink it yourself."
Tea and snacks were placed on both seats, and the tea was still steaming, so the meeting should have been completed shortly after.
Everyone found a seat to sit down, poured water and drank it wildly, and rushed over, and was really thirsty.
After Nie Qingyun waited for everyone to drink the water, he said happily: "You are here to come back so soon, it should have brought good news, right? Don't tell me that I am here to ask for help, now there is a tight manpower."
Gao Qian stood up and said solemnly: "Sir Hui, after our efforts, the 200 elite troops of the Fire Wolf Gang were almost completely lost, including fifteen wolf arrow guards, who only escaped a dozen minions, which was caused by insufficient manpower."
Nie Qingyun immediately slapped the table and said happily: "It's a good news, let me know in detail."
"yes!"
Gao Qian told the process in detail, and the speech was vivid and vivid, without missing any details, making people immersive.
Nie Qingyun nodded frequently after hearing this, and said to Du Yong: "Your guerrilla warfare is very good, and it is also very good to pretend to be Zhang San of the Soul Destroying Sect."
Du Yong said modestly: "There are insufficient staff, but the opportunity is fleeting, so I can only do this."
Gao Qian handed over the spoils, that is, the bundle of iron bows, and explained: "Mr. Nie, this is the weapon of the Wolf Arrow Guard, which can be rated to the archers in the army. If the terrain is wonderful, it may be able to achieve the miracle of one man as a pass."
Nie Qingyun took it, took out an iron bow and tried it. He found that it was indeed very good, so he praised it a few more.
Du Yong asked about the situation: "Mr. Nie, the troops gathered in such a hurry, won't the war start tomorrow, right?"
Speaking of this, Nie Qingyun sighed and said lightly: "If the battle can be started tomorrow, I will beg for it. Although Mu Feixiong's Feizi Camp has nine thousand people, if he faces our five thousand elites head-on, he has no chance of winning. The miscellaneous army is a miscellaneous army."
He paused and smiled bitterly: "Although General Mu Feixiong is limited, he still has eyesight. He will not give me a chance to fight for the front. He is now facing forty miles south of Ming County in Bingchuan. It is hilly and easy to defend, so I can't take the initiative to attack. I guess Mu Feixiong will choose to fight for food. He is not short of food. He scraped all over the southern part of Qianzhou and had trade with the underworld forces in Quzhou. He should also send killers to continue to harass us to fight for our morale. Those miscellaneous pieces this morning are his greetings."
Everyone was silent.
According to Nie Qingyun, he is at a disadvantage now.
Du Yong suggested: "Mr. Nie, according to his subordinates' opinions, he must quickly ask for help from the capital and ask for additional experts to come over and draw the elites from Weiwei Temple and Dali Temple. Mu Feixiong's killer group must not be allowed to sing a one-man show."
Nie Qingyun smiled and said, "I have sent someone to the capital, and there will be a reply tomorrow. As for the food supply, what do you think?"
"I can't fight!"
Du Yong simply spread his hands and explained: "We have to feed our food not only to the army, but also to the people in the city. Mu Feixiong has no worries. Mozhou in the north is short of food, and Quzhou in the south cannot pass. If we want to transfer grain, we can only transfer grain from Pingzhou or Beijing, which will hit Mu Feixiong's thoughts, because there are many ambush places on the road, so how can we have so many people to protect the grain? If all the Qianbei Legion is launched, what should we do if there are any abnormal movements between Mozhou and the plateau? Should we send out His Majesty's Imperial Guards?"
The number of the Imperial Guards is about 5,000, and they are strong, but if they do not threaten the capital, the Imperial Guards will generally not move because they have a great relationship.
Nie Qingyun laughed: "So what you mean, can't you fight for food?"
Du Yong nodded: "Of course we can't fight. Now production in southern Ganzhou is almost stagnant, and people are in panic in the north. It is obvious that the more you drag it back, the more unfavorable it will be."
Nie Qingyun stared at Du Yong's eyes with interest and continued to ask: "What do you think you should do?"
Du Yong then realized that he was a little excited and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, my subordinates are a little involved and unknowingly regard themselves as the main person. Then he made a big fuss and hoped that lord would not be surprised."
Nie Qingyun waved his hand: "It's not a big talk, what you said makes sense. I'm also asking for your opinion seriously."
Du Yong thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I think first we should contact the general manager of Quzhou and ask him to mobilize troops to attack the underworld forces at the junction of Quzhou and Ganzhou. The means should be as fierce as possible, so that Mu Feixiong can feel the pressure from the south. Secondly, after the masters of the capital come, they can divide some of the food in the Feizi Camp by any means, and even go directly to Huaili City to cause trouble. If Mu Feixiong divides his troops to return to the rescue, then we have room for operation, such as ambushing, and if Mu Feixiong does not divide his troops to return to the rescue, we will increase our actions against Huaili City."
Nie Qingyun nodded slightly and remained silent.
Gao Qian reminded: "Brother Du, there are more than 6,000 people left in Huaili City. I'm afraid the small movements will not work, right?"
Du Yong said lightly: "Before, there were only more than 1,000 people in Mengji, but they messed up the south of Ganzhou. Huaili City is a lot smaller. I think hundreds of people can make trouble. Anyway, Huaili City has no ordinary people, so you can do whatever you want, and you can even use detonators to blow up the city wall. The reason why Mu Feixiong dared to suppress the heavy army forty miles south of Chuanming County was that he could retreat because he could blow up the city wall. When we blow up several big gaps, you can see if Mu Feixiong is panicked. Anyway, what I mean, I must not let Mu Feixiong be so steady and want to fight for food, but there is no door."
Nie Qingyun applauded and commented: "Boy Du's words are reasonable. You can't make Mu Feixiong so comfortable. We have to take the initiative."
At this moment, there was a commotion outside.
A voice sounded outside: "Keep alert, don't panic, remember that our duty is to protect Marshal Nie!"
Qu Lao Er rushed out quickly and asked loudly: "What's the matter?"
Someone immediately replied: "There is movement in the south, and it seems that a master is rushing to the camp."
Nie Qingyun slapped the table and cursed angrily: "You are so addicted, right?"
Du Yong hurried forward and bowed, "Mr. Nie, just a clown jumping, just leave it to us. Brother Gao, you and the three brothers of the Qu family stay here to help the guards protect Lord Nie. I'll go and take a look at the camp in the south."
Gao Qian pulled out his sword and said in a deep voice: "Be careful."
Du Yong waved his hand and took the lead in rushing out of the tent.
Yang Jin, Pin Yu Ren, Da Hei, and He Laosan followed closely.
Du Yong stopped Dahei and He Laosan and ordered: "You two are here too, and follow Brother Gao's command."
The two nodded and said yes, came to Gao Qian, pulled out their weapons, and tightened their nerves.
As soon as Du Yong stepped out of the tent, he felt a gloomy murderous aura. Without thinking, he shouted: "There is a ghost on the left!"
This sound was comparable to the sky thunder, and all the guards looked to the left.
Four patrol soldiers suddenly attacked and slashed at the guards next to them.
Several guards who were hit by the knife fell to the ground at the same time, and blood mist burst out everywhere, and they were so angry.
Du Yong glanced a little and found that the four people were about forty years old and were extremely amazing. They were full of dragon birds in their hands and slashed at Du Yong's face. They were definitely not soldiers in the army. They should have secretly killed the patrol soldiers and pretended to be.
"retreat!"
Faced with the extremely powerful sword wind, Du Yong did not block it, so he chose to dodge it and returned to the tent.
Yang Jin and Pin Yuren were experienced and stepped back first. They all came to Nie Qingyun and stood in front of him with a sword.
boom!
The tent door was slashed by the sword wind, and the aftermath shook Du Yong several steps back, and his chest ached faintly.
