Chapter 573: Coming Hard, Still Coming Soft

It's late to get off work today, and it's not timely, sorry, sorry!

I didn't expect there to be this episode!

Chief Xhosa's words made the bandits frown, and secretly sighed that the timing of their arrival was too unfortunate, and it was really a bit of an untimely meaning.

However, although the other party said that there was nothing he could do, he did not intend to just retreat, if he could not seek help, the chance of success of this mission would definitely be zero, and it was almost impossible to complete, which was not the result he wanted to see.

Hu Bandit silently lit a cigarette and glanced at the Xhosa people present, seeing that their eyes were still wandering over the pile of money on the table from time to time, and the greedy look on their faces was not concealed at all.

As soon as his heart moved, he took a cigarette in his mouth, picked up a stack of banknotes on the table with both hands and flipped it "Bang, Bang, Bang", and then put it back on the table with a "pop", and then picked up a stack of money and turned it so that the sound of banknotes resounded throughout the wooden house, which was not the sound of banknotes, but like the voice of the devil.

The bandit didn't say a word, but his hands didn't stop, and slowly but clearly put the piles of money scattered on the table into a row, and the whole row of banknotes was displayed side by side in front of the eyes of the Xhosa people, and at this moment these banknotes were much more spectacular than the ones that had just been piled on the table.

"One million dollars, a whole million," Hu Bandit flicked the ashes of his cigarette after finishing the money, and said lightly with his arms crossed.

He did this deliberately, for one purpose, that is, to intuitively impress these poor and remote tribesmen, and the bandits understood that what these remote tribes lacked was money, and they needed money to arm themselves, and they needed money to build tribes, and with money, they could get out of poverty and backwardness.

Seeing that their actions seemed to have had an effect, the people of Xhosa even looked straight in their eyes, including the chief, and could even clearly hear them swallowing saliva: "Have you ever thought about why they were defeated by the Zulus last time you fought with them? If I am not mistaken, the Zulus should be more than one level better equipped than you now."

"How do you know?" Chief Xhosa retracted his greedy eyes and asked in surprise: "You are right, this time there was a fight between our two sides, although the Zulu people were united with another tribe, but the overall strength did not change much, this situation has not happened before, but this time we lost not because of their union, but because the equipment of their two tribes has improved a lot for some reason, so we will be pressed and unable to raise our heads"

How do I know?

Hu Bandit secretly sighed, these people who have not been in contact with reality seem to be too open-minded, and such an obvious problem can be thought of with their toes.

"This question is very simple, it is because the Zulu people have received foreign aid" Hu Bandit leaned up, gently tapped the row of dollars on the table with his hand, and said: "Someone sent them a lot of money, so the Zulu people's strength at this moment can stabilize you, understand?"

Several people in Xhosa looked at each other a few times, they had suspected this before, but they had never proved it, and now they immediately understood what was going on when they heard Hu Bandit say this.

Seeing that the effect seemed to have been achieved, the bandit continued to burn a fire: "I think that if nothing else, it won't be long before the Zulus, who have received foreign aid, will be able to eat you completely, and maybe from now on the Xhosa tribe will disappear from now on."

"Ahใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ There were bursts of exclamations in the room, and even many people were frightened to their feet, and they reported that this was not alarmist, but it was indeed possible, as evidenced by the recent fight.

Chief Xhosa paced back and forth in the room with a look of astonishment, and it was obvious that he was uneasy at the moment: "Huใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ Mr. Hu, what do you mean?"

"Cooperation, just like the Zulus, you can also find foreign aid" Hu Bandit pointed to the money on the table once, and then said word by word: "This money is enough for you to exchange for equipment and support for clan construction, to the point of competing with the Zulus, and ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ โ€

The bandit narrowed his eyes and uttered a sentence that the Xhosa people could not imagine: "And if you are lucky, you can turn the situation around and eat them Zulu instead"

Chief Xhosa stopped, looked at the bandit deeply, and the others suddenly became a little restless, the temptation of this is too strong, but the chief is the chief in the end, after all, the knowledge is extraordinary, he frowned deeply and said: "What you said may be very right, but now that our strength is damaged, even if we have this money to replenish equipment, it is too late, we can't fight against the Zulus."

These words calmed down the somewhat restless scene for the time being, and they realized this serious problem after being excited, because now the two sides are no longer on the same starting line.

The bandits knew that they had seen the effect, and they had already loosened their minds, but they couldn't push it too hard, otherwise it would backfire: "Actually, you don't need to pay too much to deal with the Zulu people this time, the main force is us, you only need to be responsible for containing the Zulu people when we retreat, and you don't have to think about anything else, so that you can enjoy the double benefits, not only can you get this valuable backup, but also weaken the strength of the Zulus, why not?"

"Huh?" the people of Xhosa looked at each other in disbelief, it was hard to imagine that the conditions offered by the bandits were so generous, this was simply a pie-in-the-sky benefit, just like giving it away for nothing.

"Mr. Hu, are you sure what you just said is true?" asked Chief Xhosa, confused.

The bandit nodded and said with a smile: "Maybe you can't believe it, but it's nothing to us, I believe you can also see it, chief, what is the strength of our group, to put it mildly, for example, if the ten of us go all out to fight against you Xhosa, I believe that it will definitely be us who will win in the end, and your people will be slaughtered by my people."

Hu bandit's words made the people present startled, their faces changed drastically, although he said an analogy, but it was shocking enough, the word slaughter is not uncommon in Africa, in recent years because of the development of society, this matter has rarely happened, but it happened from time to time a few decades ago, those colonizers have wantonly killed many tribes in Africa for profit, and many tribes have disappeared.

The Xhosa people were stunned by the untargeted intimidation of the bandits, and cold sweat even oozed from their foreheads, in fact, if you think about it from another angle, this thing is not impossible, if the Zulu people are allowed to develop, this day will come sooner or laterใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

The bandit and Lars walked out of the wooden house in the middle of the Xhosa tribe, and the others were already waiting a little impatiently, and when they saw the two of them coming down, they immediately asked, "How is it, has it been negotiated?"

Hu Bandit made an OK gesture, and then said: "No problem, start acting immediately, it's getting dark, Huotu, you and Lars, take advantage of the dark time to let people who are familiar with the terrain here take you to the territory of the Zulu people to feel the situation, the most important thing is to find out where the people are kept, and secondly, there is their deployment of forces, we will try to start tomorrow night after we find out the situation, this matter cannot be delayed"

After the order, the bandit took the others to an idle house and began to discuss the next countermeasures, the time is very urgent for them now, there are no more than a few days left before the deadline given by the other party, and if it drags on, it will be too late to change.

It is said that the intervention of the Xhosa people is a successful first step, and it is also the most important move, whether it is a surprise attack or a retreat, as long as there are Xhosa people from the fat to assist them in the success of the move, the probability of success can be greatly improved.

Midnight......

Lars and Hotu came back from inquiring about the news, gathered in the wooden house where the bandits were, ten people gathered around a chapter table, on which was spread a simple sketch of the map, Lars introduced: "The general situation of the Zulu people is similar to here, they are all on a wide and spacious flat land, and the houses are all simple wooden huts of this kind, but the difference is that the guards there are much stricter than here, and the equipment is obviously better than that of the Xhosa, and the number is quite a lot, at least more than a thousand."

Ten against a thousand!

Even if it is a bandit, they are experienced in a hundred battles and experienced mercenaries, and they can't help but beat the drums a little, their fists are hard to beat with four hands, the ants bite the elephant to death, and a bunch of sheep besiege a wolf, and the situation is still unknown.

"Fortunately, the people of Xhosa have already agreed, otherwise we would have really hit a difficult bone this time" The bandit's fingers kept tapping on the table, and then asked, "Have you figured out the situation of the hostages?"

Hotu pointed to a red circle in the middle of the map and said: "Here, there is a water prison, we were far away and couldn't get close to observe, but it seems that it should be locked up there, a little troublesome, this water prison is surrounded by the entire Zulu camp in the middle, if we break through, even if we can break through, but it is estimated that when we pass, the people in charge there will have enough time to kill those hostages."

The bandit stared at the simple map on the table, his brows tightly locked, and he broke in?

This is certainly not a good strategy, or if they break through, there may be two situations, they will suffer heavy losses, and the hostages will not be saved.

But if you don't come hard, how can you steal people out without knowing it?

It's hard, it's hard!

This is really a dilemma, it's not easy to choose!

Hu Bandit took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Let's go and rest first, we don't have enough energy, let's do it tomorrow night" [(m)็„กๅฝˆ็ช—้–ฑ่ฎ€]
