"Chapter Seventy-Five: Infiltrating Lang Champ"
People go out into the crowd in order to drown their silent cries.
– Rabindranath Tagore (Indian poet, philosopher, and Indian nationalist)
"Commander, the garrison in the city is only 12,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners, as the information provided by the Hidden Guard. In the moonlit night, a ghost of the battlefield in a black suit quietly came to Adrian's side.
Adrian, who was still looking at the county town of Langxiang not far away, frowned slightly, and asked the battlefield ghost: "These twelve thousand Eight Banner cavalry, are they hating each other as described in the intelligence?"
"Commander, I hid in the city for four hours, during which I witnessed six road-blocking clashes between the cavalry of the Eight Banners, and the most fierce one, if it had not been for the timely dispatch of the cavalry under his command by the commander of the Red Banner, perhaps the Red and Blue Banners would have been fought. ”
"Hmm. Adrian, who nodded silently, thought for a while, and then directly ordered: "You take the two of you back to the county town of Langxiang immediately, and be sure to find a way to get fifty sets of cotton armor with positive yellow flags within two hours, and I will be of great use later." ”
"No!" the ghost of the battlefield who received the order immediately bowed down and retreated.
Looking at the backs of the three battlefield ghosts who quickly disappeared, Adrion did not stay where he was to look at Longchamp County, but returned to the dense forest behind him, and at this time, in this small dense forest, forty-seven battlefield ghosts with strong individual combat power were hiding.
As the minutes ticked by, two hours passed in a flash, and Adrien personally led all the battlefield ghosts under his command to rush towards the city of Longchham, which was not well defended, and in just five minutes, they came to the city of Longchham.
"I'll go first, and you will follow me, one after the other, and don't make a noise. ”
After turning around and whispering a word of advice to the ghosts of the battlefield behind him, the agile Adrian jumped up to the wall about 30 meters high, and unfortunately, the moment he jumped up, a patrolling Red Banner soldier happened to see him!
"Enemy ......"
Before he could say the word 'enemy attack', the dagger in Adrien's hand pierced his throat, and the blood sprayed out made the patrol soldier unable to utter a single word.
After successfully killing the patrol soldier with the red flag, Adrien carefully lowered his body to the ground, and before Adrien could stand up, another patrol soldier shouted at the top of his voice as he walked towards him:
"Tuhong, where did you kid go? Why can't I see it...... Uh-huh-hmm......"
This time, without Adrien's own intervention, the ghost of the battlefield who jumped onto the wall after Adrien covered the night with his hand as he plunged his dagger into the heart of the patrolling warrior while covering his mouth with his hand.
The shouting of the loud-voiced patrol soldiers stopped abruptly, not only did not play a role in helping the battlefield ghosts hide their figures, but instead made the other patrol soldiers who did not care about them suddenly become alert, and as a last resort, Adrien had to order the battlefield ghosts around him:
"There are about a hundred or so patrolling soldiers on this section of the wall, try to kill them all before they give the signal!"
Without the slightest hesitation, forty-seven battlefield ghosts with daggers in their hands rushed to the patrolling soldiers who had gathered in this direction, and their galloping figures, covered by the darkness of the night and the shadows of the city walls, were not immediately noticed by the patrolling soldiers.
"Poof!", "Poof!", "Sss......ss
Fifty patrol soldiers were killed on the spot the moment the battlefield ghosts stabbed their mortal blows, and the most powerful Adrien, with an extremely sharp side stroke of the dagger in his hand, slit the throats of three patrol soldiers walking side by side.
The Red Banner Patrol soldiers, who numbered only 100 in number, were killed by the battlefield ghosts under the command of Adrien in just one moment, and the remaining half, shocked and without drawing their weapons, they followed in the footsteps of their comrades.
After all the patrolling soldiers had been dealt with on this section of the wall, which was about a mile long, Adrien first wiped his blood-covered dagger with the military uniform worn by the enemy, and then gave a clear and concise order to the ghosts of the battlefield around him:
"In three minutes, everyone changes into the uniforms of these patrol soldiers!"
The ghosts of the battlefield, who did not say a word, immediately took off the red cotton armor worn by the corpses on the ground and put them on themselves, and after three minutes, what appeared in front of Adrien's eyes were already forty-seven 'Red Banner Warriors' with no flaws in appearance.
Because of the time constraints, Adrion did not waste his precious time cleaning the corpses of the enemies on the walls, and the patrol soldiers who had been slain were just randomly piled up in the shadows on the walls by the ghosts of the battlefield, with little cover.
Wearing a red flag and cotton armor, Adrian led the battlefield ghosts behind him openly and walked all the way to the nearest blue flag defense area to the red flag defense area; according to Adrien's estimate, his party would soon encounter a road blockage.
Sure enough, as soon as Adrien walked into the defensive area of the Zhenglan Banner with his subordinates, a leader of the Zhenglan Banner led a team of about 100 Zhenglan Banner patrol soldiers to block over and said: "The front is the chassis of our Zhenglan Banner, you Zhengqi people hurry up!"
"The entire Longxiang City is the chassis of our Murhazibel, where is the matter with your Blue Flag?" Ardrian, who knew a lot about the internal contradictions of the New Eight Banners, deliberately arrogantly said: "You are just new outsiders, what qualifications do you have to block Lao Tzu's way?"
The reason why the leader of the blue flag did not directly drive away Adrien and the others just now was because in the past, the people with the yellow flag and the red flag were generally peacemakers; what he didn't expect was that the peacemakers who worked hard in the past would be so outspoken today!
What kind of ridicule is most likely to arouse the anger of the person being ridiculed? It is not a ridiculous ridicule, but an insult that has a certain basis in facts! There is no doubt that Adrien's remarks are precisely an attack that basically conforms to the facts!
"The wastes of the Blue Flag, don't think that you have the support of the master of the Yellow Flag behind you and think that you are great, if it weren't for the fact that our family Murhazibel is unwilling to embarrass his good grandson, do you think there is a place for your Blue Flag in Langxiang City?"
Seeing that the leader of the blue flag had been enraged, Adrien insulted them again, and the battlefield ghosts wearing the red flag cotton armor on the side unscrupulously cooperated: "Haha! Good grandson, come and call grandpa to listen!"
"You...... You...... You ......" The leader of the Zhenglan Banner, who was trembling with anger, couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted an order to the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner who were also angry behind him: "If the Zhenghong Banner Miscellaneous Pieces in front dare to take another step forward, kill them all for me!"
"No!" the Blue Flag warriors who responded in unison seemed to want to regain their lost dignity in this way.
"Grandsons of Zhenglan Banner, I don't believe that you dare to do anything to our grandfather of Zhenghongqi!" Yadrien, who decided to carry out his arrogance to the end, walked a few steps forward without fear, and said proudly: "A grandson is a grandson, and he will only fill his mouth with a big head!"
