Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 27 Killing move
The most prosperous Xidu Avenue in Tianshuifu City, the three-story Ziyun Pavilion is the most famous restaurant in Tianshuifu City. Next to it is the largest gold selling cave in Tianshui City-Qinglianyuan.
A group of black-clothed men sat silently in a secret room in Qinglian Courtyard, as if they were waiting for something, especially the middle-aged burly man sitting at the door. color.
The door was pushed open suddenly, and the nearest was a woman in brocade. The man masked in black was overjoyed when he saw it, and he stood up abruptly, followed the woman in brocade to go out.
"Are you sure?" It was the voice of the masked man in black.
"Well, no problem, I saw them go in with my own eyes." It should be the voice of the woman in brocade.
"Then where is the best place for us to ambush?" the black scarf man asked in a deep voice.
Then there was an indistinct conversation, and after a bag of cigarettes, a man with a black scarf and a mask came in like a gust of wind, and with a wave of his hand, all the men in black sitting in the room quickly got up and filed out. Soon disappeared in the courtyard.
In the largest private room on the second floor of Ziyun Pavilion, the tall and thin old man in the main seat toasted frequently, clinking glasses and drinking with seven or eight plainclothes men at the same table. A few people couldn't hide their fierce military temperament.
"Come, come, let me offer you another drink. Tomorrow, you will all be heading back west. I wish you all the best of luck. Let's have a drink!" The old man first stood up and drank it down.
The rest of the people also got up one after another, raised their wine glasses, and at this moment, a huge change occurred.
The windows on the east side all burst open in an instant, and the shadows of the windows flickered, accompanied by a loud "crash", followed by a chilling "boom, boom, boom". Locust-like crossbow arrows suddenly enveloped the entire room. Two of the people sitting around the table reacted very quickly, one of them slammed the round table, and he sat down violently, causing the other to roll sideways and into the corner, and he brought the brocade stool in front of him. The powerful crossbow arrows hit the table and stool with a harsh bang, and the others were not so lucky, especially the three people whose backs were facing the window were shot like hedgehogs on the spot, and the one next to them was also shot in the shoulder by a shovel arrow. department.
But the tall and thin old man was lucky, the crossbow arrows were blocked by the erected original table, his body limp and fell to the ground, "Come here, there is an assassin!" The shrill cry made people shudder.
Before the soldiers outside the door poured in, black figures had already covered the collapsed window, and they swarmed in in a blink of an eye. , before they had time to open the door, they broke in. However, the narrow space restricted their performance. Before they could pounce, the man in black had already controlled the whole scene, and five of a table of eight people had already fallen into a pool of blood. Seeing that they were dying, and the other two were also in danger, fortunately, the soldiers swooped desperately to block the life-and-death mad attack of the man in black, and the superior soldiers who followed soon took advantage, and The guards who got the news quickly surrounded the entire restaurant.
The entire battle didn't last long, and the men in black also paid a heavy price under the siege of the army. Except for a few people who escaped, the rest were either killed in battle or seriously injured and captured. But when the soldiers escorted the prisoners, the black blood from the corners of their mouths also announced the end of their lives.
It was night, and the whole city of Tianshui was under martial law, and suspicious persons were searched.
Looking at Wufeng's sleeping face, Qin Shuangying couldn't help slowing down her hurried steps. It seems that Airo is indeed too tired, shouldn't he come back later? In the past few days, both Gu Dengyun's intelligence department in the Kansai area and the intelligence network deployed by the Northwest Intelligence Agency in Kansai have noticed the anomaly in the entire Kansai area, and even the officials of the Kansai prefectures have also noticed it. The entire six prefectures of Kansai seem to be like a restless fire pot, whoever touches it lightly may stir up gunpowder smoke all over the sky.
Wufeng has been dizzy with too much work these days, it seems that everything has come together. In addition to paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Kansai region, which took up most of his energy, the changes in the countries in the Western Regions also made Wufeng feel a little bit annoyed. At this time, Su Qin was away on a visit, and Ling Tianfang was sitting in the Taixuan Mansion, and there was no one around him. A person who can discuss and discuss makes Wufeng feel the pain of lack of talents again. His foundation is too shallow. Can comfort myself like this.
Over the past few days, various sources of intelligence have shown that the Taiping Sect uprising is imminent. In many places, Taiping Sect armed organizations have begun to gather in secret, and many key members of the Taiping Sect have gone into hiding. It was discovered by the government, and the local government also found some abnormalities, but they did not respond too much. The investigation and arrest activities of the special investigation teams from the Imperial Ministry of the Interior and the Police Headquarters were not satisfactory in various places. The grassroots government either did not cooperate, or acted obediently and disobeyed. In short, it was very difficult to carry out the work. These people pinned their hopes on the returning troops.
As the time for the outbreak of the war is approaching, the army in the Northwest is also secretly adjusting and deploying. A large amount of military supplies, including food, clothing, weapons, equipment, and war horses, have been started as early as a month ago under the cover of darkness. The transfer to Bonan Mansion is now coming to an end. Rao, the new chief of combat readiness, has fully demonstrated his talent, which makes Wufeng quite satisfied. His methodical arrangements and careful planning made the originally heavy and complicated military preparation work suddenly become clear, with proper priorities, and everything seemed so tight and organized.
According to Wufeng's arrangement, all troops, including the garrison troops, have secretly entered a state of combat readiness. In view of the increasingly severe situation, the guard division has expanded to full strength in a short period of time. Wufeng has not yet considered putting it into the upcoming In the upcoming Central Plains War, they will be stationed in Qingyang as a reserve team, while the third and fifth divisions of the Northwest Army have quietly entered Bonan City. According to Wufeng's order, the Bonan Security Division was renamed the Northwest Independent Second Mixed Division, and entered the Yangmakou Fortress in advance. The two regiments that had just been transferred from the reserve force were upgraded to the Bonan Garrison Division, and quickly expanded to make up for a division.
During this period, Wufeng made a surprise inspection of the armament situation of Yinchuan Mansion. Jin Zecheng's performance did not disappoint Wufeng. Outside the dark fort, a large number of improved catapults and strongmen transported from Qingyang have basically been installed in place, which has further improved the city defense capability of Yinchuan City. At the same time, the newly formed Yinchuan Second Security Division has basically taken shape. Since Yinchuan Prefecture has a strong reserve personnel and inventory of weapons and equipment, the Second Security Division was quickly formed, but because the shelf of this division is two A dilapidated wing was built, and there seemed to be a lack of grassroots officers. Jin Zecheng, who was entrusted by Wufeng to form it, took the initiative to ask Wufeng to transfer some officers from other units under Wufeng's command to enrich it, and asked Wufeng to appoint another division-level leader.
Wufeng saw through what he meant, and had an in-depth conversation with Jin Zecheng again, but the content of the conversation was unknown. In the end, Wufeng agreed to appoint the former deputy head of the First Security Division of Yinchuan Prefecture as the head, deputy head, and chief of staff of the Second Security Division, in addition to recruiting some middle and low-level officers from the students of the Northwest Military Academy. Two graduates of the Wing-level officer training class of the Northwest Military Academy will serve as the director of logistics, and the director of logistics will be selected from the original Second Guard Division.
On the day he returned to Qingyang from Yinchuan, Wufeng rushed to Jinzhou non-stop. In Jinzhou, in addition to reviewing the training situation of the Jinzhou Guard Division, he also unexpectedly checked the training situation of the Jinzhou Reserve personnel. In addition, Wufeng also had secret talks with Mu Mian, an elder of the Gaoyue clan who came to Jinzhou Fucheng, and Shi Liu, an elder of the Gaoyue clan in Northern Luzon.
"Sister Qin, my lord, he just slept for a while, do you want to wait a while before waking him up?" Di Leina, who spoke with a foreign accent, stood behind Qin Shuangying and whispered behind Qin Shuangying's ear.
"Well, then I'll just wait." Qin Shuangying hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"No need, Shuangying, what's the matter?" Some sleepy Wufeng cheered himself up, stretched his waist, and jumped up from the bed. Although he only slept for a while, a nap at noon was enough Two hours at night.
Seeing that Wufeng had already got up, Qin Shuangying didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately said: "Master, there is an urgent military situation!" In front of outsiders, Qin Shuangying always called Wufeng by the name of an adult.
"Oh?" Seeing Qin Shuangying's serious face ~IndoMTL.com~ Wufeng also became serious, "Tell me."
"According to the Tianshui emergency report, the chief officers of the third division and the fourth division of the Fourth Imperial Army were attacked in Tianshuifu City, and the chief, deputy division chief, and chief of staff of the third division were killed on the spot , the logistics director was seriously injured, the division chief and chief of staff of the fourth division died on the spot, the deputy division commander was seriously injured, and only the logistics director who was on duty at home survived."
The words were so important that Ling Wufeng couldn't help but change his face, "What's going on? Why are the division chiefs of the two army divisions of the empire attacked at the same time? Who is the other party?" It's a bit shocking, so many senior officers were attacked and killed at the same time, it can be said that it has never happened in the history of the empire, no wonder Wufeng also lost his composure.
"According to intelligence reports, the third division and the fourth division arrived at Tianshui Fucheng almost at the same time. Since the two divisions had to go their separate ways after passing through Tianshui Fucheng, the guards of Tianshui City hosted a banquet for the two divisions at the largest restaurant in Fucheng. The main officer of the regiment did not expect such a big problem. As for who the opponent is, there is no news yet. I only know that the opponent dispatched a total of more than ten people. Except for seven people who died in battle, three of them committed suicide by taking poison after being captured. The rest of them escaped successfully, and the origin of these assassins has not yet been found out." Qin Shuangying looked very calm.
After being silent for a while, Wufeng with a gloomy face said: "It seems that they are really unscrupulous. They even came up with such a method, and it is really poisonous. They actually came to the trouble, but this method is really effective. , Now these two divisions are quite paralyzed. It may not matter if there is a lack of a chief officer, but if they are all gone at once, the snake will have no head, and then the troops will be difficult to operate. Even if the imperial army is appointed immediately, it will still need one During the running-in period, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly reduced during this period." It seemed to be talking to himself and to the two of them.
