Chapter 185: Assassination
Early in the morning, in a garden in the Jiedu Mansion of the Five Towns of Ganyang City, Zhou Rui practiced boxing at a glance, and the whole set of boxing techniques was extremely concise, but he was also beaten by Zhou Rui.
This set of boxing techniques was learned by Zhou Rui from Hu Yi, don't look at the simple moves, but the moves are all killing moves, which is a set of actual combat boxing methods.
It wasn't until Zhou Rui finished practicing this set of boxing techniques that Song Limin, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet on the side, said: "Dashuai's martial arts have improved a lot, could it be that Dashuai has been promoted to a senior martial artist?" ”
Zhou Rui took the towel handed over by Xiong Da, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Old Song, your eyes are really good, I have just been promoted to the realm of a high-level martial artist." ”
After Zhou Rui took 2 bottles of primary physical fitness enhancement drugs, although because of the problem of drug resistance, Zhou Rui did not continue to take primary physical fitness enhancement drugs.
However, after Zhou Rui's hard training day after day, coupled with the changes in Zhou Rui's physique caused by 2 bottles of primary physical fitness enhancement elixir, he was finally promoted to an intermediate martial artist a few months ago, and it was not with the assistance of the potion.
It's a pity that Zhou Rui's own martial arts talent is limited, and it is likely that an intermediate martial artist is already the limit that Zhou Rui can reach in this life.
Fortunately, Zhou Rui is a person with a golden finger, and the lottery system gave a three-star lottery card in December, and among the several rewards issued, there were 10 bottles of intermediate physical fitness enhancement elixirs.
After Zhou Rui took one of the bottles of intermediate physical fitness enhancement elixir, he was successfully promoted to a high-level martial artist.
The remaining 9 bottles of intermediate physical fitness enhancement elixirs were taken by Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xiong San, Xiong Si, Niu Ben, Niu Heng, Niu Zhang, Fox One, and Fox Er, and nine people were successfully promoted after taking intermediate physical fitness enhancement elixirs.
Since the four brothers Xiong and the three Niu Ben brothers not only practiced the physical skills of the beast warriors, but also cultivated the techniques of human warriors, they were equivalent to advancing to the level of the Great Grandmaster and the Silver Warrior at the same time.
Fox One and Fox Er were promoted to veritable Grand Masters, but their strength was worse than that of the four brothers Xiong and the three brothers of Niu Ben.
Song Limin then said complimentingly: "It seems that the marshal has also inherited the martial arts talent of the head of the family, this is not yet a year, the marshal has been promoted two levels in a row, maybe two or three years later, the marshal will be able to be promoted to the great master." ”
Zhou Rui understood that he had a few catties and a few taels, and if he didn't have the potion produced by the lottery system, he might be promoted to a junior martial artist, which would be a big difficulty for him.
"Old Song, you came here early in the morning, did the results of the Battle of Niujiao Bay be counted?"
The escort fleet sent by the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet fought with the two interception fleets of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy, which belonged to the Bullhorn Bay of the Wild Bull Empire, so this naval battle was also called the Battle of Hornhorn Bay.
"Dashuai, it's been counted.
In the Battle of Hornhorn Bay, our escort fleet lost a total of 2 Shun-class battle cruisers, 1 large armored cruiser, 1 light cruiser and 2 destroyers.
The 6 "Mo" class battleships with all main guns and the remaining 2 "Shun" class battle cruisers all suffered some injuries to varying degrees, but fortunately they were not seriously injured.
In this battle, our southwest coastal defense fleet lost a total of 1,123 officers and men, and more than 400 officers and men were wounded.
At present, it can be confirmed that 3 all-main gun battleships, 5 all-steel battleships, 2 large armored cruisers, 3 light cruisers and 3 destroyers of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy were sunk.
And also heavily damaged a number of opposing warships, considering the location of Oxhorn Bay, the escort fleet did not launch a large-scale pursuit when the Silver Wolf Empire's navy retreated. ”
Although Yerk led another interception fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy to join the battlefield, the battleships of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy occupied a very large advantage in numbers.
However, the escort fleet relied on 6 rough-skinned and thick-skinned "Mo"-class all-main gun battleships to cripple the two interception fleets of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy.
If it weren't for Peg, the deputy commander of the Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, who saw that the escort fleet was too difficult to gnaw and decisively gave the order to retreat, maybe the losses of the two interception fleets of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy would have been even greater.
"What happened to the 40,000 officers and men of the convoy?"
"All of them have landed from that small port in the east of the Barbarian Bull Empire, and all the materials loaded by the transport fleet have also been unloaded.
The 40,000 army officers and soldiers and those supplies will soon set off for the Bauhinia Province of the Silver Wolf Empire.
The escort fleet and the transport fleet should have already begun to return by this time. ”
"What's the reaction of the Wild Bull Empire to this?"
"When the Battle of Niujiao Bay broke out, several warships of the Wild Bull Empire's navy came to the vicinity of the battlefield to watch the battle.
However, after that, the Wild Bull Empire still did not take any measures, and it seemed that it still acquiesced to us sending supplies and soldiers to the southern part of the Bauhinia Province of the Silver Wolf Empire through the small port of the Wild Bull Empire. ”
Zhou Rui smiled slightly, "As long as we don't send supplies and soldiers to the rebel army's Barbarian Bull Column, the Barbarian Bull Empire will definitely not destroy our transportation channel, and the Manniu Empire can't wait for the Silver Wolf Empire's troubles to be greater." ”
Song Limin hesitated for a moment and said: "Great Marshal, this time the navy of the Silver Wolf Empire has suffered a loss, I am afraid that the next interception fleet may be larger." ”
"Then send more warships to join the escort, the support for the Silver Wolf Column cannot be interrupted, judging from the current situation, the Silver Wolf Column will definitely be able to make a big scene in the territory of the Silver Wolf Empire!"
Today is December 9, 1539, and although the siege and annihilation of the troops of the Silver Wolf Empire has only been going on for two days, it has already come to an end.
On the side of the Silver Wolf Empire, he didn't expect that the strength gathered by the human resistance army would be so strong, and the combat effectiveness was even more shocking.
The encircled troops had to have a total of 280,000 combatable soldiers, but in the face of the silver wolf column with superior firepower, although the officers and men of the wolf clan in all parts of the attack and suppression unit fought bravely, they still resisted the fierce attack of the silver wolf column.
The commander of the 16th Army, Jisla, and the commander of the 22nd Army, Faulco, who were in charge of commanding this attacking army, had to send letters of help to the War Department of the Silver Wolf Empire.
It's a pity that several reinforcements from the Silver Wolf Emperor's ** team in Bauhinia Province were blocked by the blocking troops sent by the Silver Wolf Column.
After two days of fierce fighting, the 4 infantry divisions and 6 independent divisions of the Silver Wolf Empire's offensive troops have been basically wiped out.
The Sixteenth Army and the Twenty-second Army combined, the number of wolf officers and soldiers who could continue to fight may have only more than 60,000 left, and they were compressed into an area of less than four square kilometers.
After Song Limin accompanied Zhou Rui to finish breakfast, he began to discuss with Zhou Rui some things about the construction of the first all-main gun battleship in Ganyang Shipyard.
At this time, Hu Er walked in with a solemn face, "Shuai, the young lady has just been attacked in front of the headquarters of Zhou's Bank. ”
"What? Raid? Is Ichyu injured? ”
"Don't worry, because Niu Heng and Niu Zhang's protection is timely, the young lady was only a little frightened and was not injured, but Niu Heng and Niu Zhang suffered some minor injuries.
In addition, the young lady insisted on staying at the headquarters of Zhou's Bank and handling the bank's official business. ”
"Old Song, I'll talk about the construction of the first all-main gun battleship at Ganyang Shipyard later, I have to go to the headquarters of Zhou's Bank."
"Dashuai, I'll go with you."
When Zhou Rui saw with his own eyes that Liu Yiqiu was not injured, he put down his nervousness, "Yiqiu, how is it?" Isn't it freaked? ”
Liu Yiqiu said with palpitations: "Husband, thanks to Niu Heng and Niu Chang standing in front of me and blocking the bullet for me, otherwise my husband would never see me again."
Who the hell is going to kill me? ”
Zhou Rui gritted his teeth and said: "No matter who it is, even if Ganyang City is turned over, this murderer must be found out!" ”
In a private house in Ganyang City, a man and a woman are arguing about something.
If Zhou Rui saw this man and woman, he would definitely be surprised, the man was Cui Wentao, the eldest young master of the Cui family, and the woman was Liu Menglu from Wanhualou.
Cui Wentao said in a deep voice: "Menglu, you are too reckless to do this, and attacking Liu Yiqiu is tantamount to startling the snake, and it will be even more difficult to assassinate Zhou Rui." ”
Liu Menglu was still amorous at this time, she smiled and said: "We have been planning for several months, but we can't even find a chance to start with Zhou Rui."
It's better to kill some people close to Zhou Rui first, and it can be regarded as repaying some interest for your Cui family first.
Are you still a little reluctant to Liu Yiqiu?
It's a pity that she can't be your woman anymore, you still die of this heart! ”
Cui Wentao frowned and said: "Menglu, when I wanted to marry Liu Yiqiu, it was more for the benefit of the family, you know these things."
Now that Liu Yiqiu has become Zhou Rui's wife, she is equivalent to my enemy, I don't agree with the assassination of Liu Yiqiu, but I don't want to startle the snake, so that Zhou Rui has more precautions. ”
It turned out that Cui Wentao and Liu Yiqiu had hooked up a long time ago, and even when Zhou Rui had not been reborn, Liu Yiqiu was taken into the bag by Cui Wentao, the first son of Ganyang City.
It's just that even Wan Ruyi, the owner of Wanhualou, doesn't know about this matter.
Liu Yiqiu was also secretly providing Cui Wentao with a lot of information held by the Intelligence Department of the former Fengwu Jiedu Mansion.
Liu Menglu said with a smile: "I'm just joking, in fact, as long as you don't look for any handsome men in the future, even if you add a few sisters to me, I don't care." ”
Cui Wentao waved his hand and said, "Don't mention those things, I have no interest in men anymore, and now I have you is enough."
Next, let our people be honest for a while, we assassinated Zhou Rui's wife, with Zhou Rui's character of retribution, he will definitely not give up. ”
Liu Menglu hesitated, "Wen Tao, why don't we leave Ganyang City for a while, go outside to hide, and come back when the limelight is over?" ”
"There is no need to hide out, and leaving Ganyang City at this time is easy to expose, if we are silent for a while, there should be no problem."
In a luxurious private room of the Nine Star Hotel in Ganyang City, a lion man said to a wolf clan and a tiger clan in a deep voice: "Zhou Rui's wife, that is, Liu Yiqiu, the actual controller of Zhou's bank.
This morning there was an assassination in front of the headquarters of the Zhou Bank, the assassins were three humans, using a machine gun and two hand-bolt repeating rifles.
The three assassins were killed on the spot, and Liu Yiqiu was also protected by bodyguards and did not suffer any injuries. ”
The lion's name was Matvey, and he was a silver warrior of the Golden Lion Empire.
The name of the wolf people is Hailo, and he is a silver warrior of the Silver Wolf Empire, and the name of the Tiger people is Musi, and he is a silver warrior of the Red Tiger Empire.
These three orcs also have a common identity, that is, the leader of the hunting group, and their hunting group is mainly to take on assassination missions, and it is the most famous assassination hunting group in their respective countries, and there is no one.
After the Three Kingdoms Joint Expeditionary Force was forced to disband, the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire, and the Silver Wolf Empire all chose to hire an assassination hunting group to get rid of Zhou Rui, the ruler of the Zhou family in the Han and Tang Empires.
As a result, the three assassination hunting groups had already been secretly connected, so they reached an agreement to take a joint assassination of Zhou Rui.
In order to successfully assassinate Zhou Rui, the three assassination hunting groups can be described as elite.
In addition to these 3 regimental commanders who reached the Silver Warriors, the three assassination hunting groups also gathered another 4 Silver Warriors and 20 Bronze Warriors.
Mu Si of the Red Tiger Empire frowned and said, "I don't know which force the fool did it!"
Not only did the person not succeed in killing, but it would make Zhou Rui strengthen his vigilance, and the assassination of Zhou Rui may be more difficult in the future. ”
Hailo of the Silver Wolf Empire sighed and said, "Zhou Rui has always lived in seclusion, even if there is no such thing, I think it will be difficult for us to find a chance to start."
Every day in the Nine Star Hotel, my bones feel a lot softer. ”
As the largest port city in the western part of the Han and Tang Empires, Ganyang City was home to six orc nations that had established a lot of industries in Ganyang City.
Although he fought with the Golden Lion Empire, the Red Tiger Empire and the Silver Wolf Empire, Zhou Rui did not embarrass the beast merchants living on his own territory, and the Nine Star Hotel was still the property of a lion merchant at this time.
The lion man Matvey then said, "I don't think we can continue to wait like this, once we are discovered by the Zhou family's army, I think even if we want to run, it may be difficult to do it." ”
The Tiger Clan's Mu Si said helplessly: "We can't just rely on such a small number of manpower to storm the Five Towns Jiedu Mansion in Ganyang City, right?" ”
The lion man Matvey said: "Of course, you can't storm the Five Towns Jiedu Mansion in Ganyang City, that is equivalent to hitting a stone with an egg.
I feel that this assassination of Liu Yiqiu gave me some inspiration.
We can also start with the people around Zhou Rui first, and ask for a little interest for the soldiers who died in the empire. ”
