Chapter 357: Spoiler
"Kill ββ!!"
As a short shout of killing sounded behind him, Shi Yuan, Chen Gui and his party, who had sneaked back to the north side of the rebel garrison, invariably stopped, turned their heads and glanced behind them.
"Started? Then we'll have to hurry......"
Chen Gui whispered, with a little excitement in his slightly surprised voice.
"Nope."
Ishihara carefully glanced back at the location where the shouting of killing was heard, and calmly analyzed: "That location is still far from the rebel station." The brigadewolves had attacked the rebels at night many times so far, not only to this extent...... If I'm not mistaken, it's just a lure trying to pretend to be us and lure the rebels out there......"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed into the distance, only to see that in the distance where his finger was pointing, there were indeed groups of sporadic fires quickly heading towards the location where the shouting of killing was heard.
"Hey, what a bunch of cunning guys...... As an ally, it's not unreliable. Chen Gui laughed in a low voice.
"......" Ishihara frowned slightly and did not speak.
Although he was reluctant, he also had to admit that if there was no Zhou Hu and no black tiger thief, most likely he would have already fallen in Kunyang.
"Regardless of them, let's do what we planned." He said in a deep voice.
The 'plan' in his mouth is, to put it bluntly, to use the black tiger thieves to attack the rebel garrison in turn to earn some face for their county army, for example, when the rebels are in chaos, they will blend in and take the opportunity to get rid of the rebels' general, Xu Bao.
He and Chen Gui took more than 50 county soldiers to work for most of the night, harassing the rebel soldiers to rest, and evading the pursuit of the rebel patrol, which finally gradually weakened the rebels' vigilance against the 'night attack', and as a result, the group of black tiger thieves patted their butts and picked up the credit for defeating the rebels? Why?
The army of other counties is the 'due pawn' of Kunyang County, but it was not established to attack that group of black tiger thieves.
Of course, 'revenge' against the black tiger thief is not the only purpose, Ishihara's main purpose is to make the group of guys who gradually start to boast about themselves and talk about 'Kunyang depends on our black tigers to be safe and sound' understand a truth: Kunyang is not the only black tiger thief!
"Do you really want to do that?"
Hearing Ishihara mention the so-called plan, Chen Gui said with a little hesitation: "It's easy to offend people. β
He didn't doubt that Ishihara's plan would succeed, knowing that the rebel general Huang Kang was defeated in Kunyang last time, and he Kunyang obtained 3,000 sets of rebel armor and weapons, and for this harassment operation, all of them changed into the same armor and weapons as the rebels on the opposite side, so as to escape from the rebels at this moment of danger - although they were very cautious and had not used this trick for the time being.
Considering that there are black tiger thieves to contain the front of the rebels, their group wants to take the opportunity to blend in with the rebels, not only is it possible, but there is a great chance.
But the problem is that it is easy to offend the Black Tiger Thief by doing so - after all, this is an act of merit, and it is not within the scope of their original mission.
What kind of existence does the black tiger thief have in Kunyang today?
Even the county government has to obey the orders of Zhou Hu, the leader of the black tiger thieves, what kind of existence do you say?
"No, Zhou Hu won't care."
Ishihara shook his head.
He had his own considerations: if his plan succeeded, he might offend the Black Tiger Thief, but he would not offend Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Thief.
Although it sounds a little strange, the bandit leader seems to regard the county army as his bag, to take the most obvious example, Zhou Hu has never taken the opportunity to suppress the county army, nor has he ever favored the former between the black tiger thief and the county army, as if the black tiger thief and the county army are two teams under him.
Otherwise, with Zhou Hu's strong attitude of daring to say bluntly in the rebel commander Guan Shuo that 'Kunyang is my territory', how could he not take the opportunity to let the black tiger thieves replace the county army?
Of course, Zhou Hu must have other considerations for this, but Ishihara can be sure that Zhou Hu will not ban the county army, and even hopes that the county army will grow rapidly - probably in Zhou Hu's opinion, the county army will not rebel against the county government, and the county government is now obeying him, in this case, why should he suppress the county army?
Thinking of this, Ishihara felt that Zhou Hu would most likely not care about their 'assertions'.
As for offending the Black Tiger Thief......
His county army and the black tiger thief were not all the way, what's the big deal?
"Okay."
Seeing that Ishihara had made up his mind, Chen Gui sighed helplessly.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned his head and asked Ishihara, "Ah Yuan, do you want to be appreciated by that Zhou Hu?" β
"What?"
Ishihara almost jumped to his feet as if he had been stepped on the instep, and asked with a stunned face, "Why do you think that?" β
"Because you're competing with 'your own people'." Chen Gui said as a matter of course: "At least for the time being, the black tiger thief can be regarded as his own person, right?" β
"......" Ishihara was stunned, stunned by Chen Gui's words.
Thinking about it carefully, his purpose of hoping to gain some face for the county army seems to be dissatisfied with Zhou Hu sending his county army to attack the black tiger thief, and if this is said the other way around, wouldn't it be ......
"How is that possible? I was just...... I just think that our county army should not be robbed of all the limelight by the black tiger thief......"
He replied, somewhat annoyed.
Seeing that Ishihara seemed to be a little hairy, Chen Gui shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking in a playful manner.
Chen Gui no longer delved into it, but it didn't mean that Ishihara was relieved in his heart, and the former's words made him feel a little confused.
"I...... Want to get the appreciation of that Zhou Hu? It's impossible ......
Ishihara immediately denied the idea.
He won't work for that bandit leader! He just......
It's just a little ...... In a hurry.
Suddenly, Ishihara's mind was reminded of todayβyesterday, to be exact, when he and Xu Bai were chatting on the city wall during the daytime.
I have to say that Xu Bai and Wang Ping, the two old companions, were very prosperous in the Black Tiger Village, not only did they marry the young and beautiful girl under the arrangement of the high-level of the Black Tiger Village, but they were also regarded as 'quite potential villagers'.
Ishihara believed that with the abilities of Xu Bai and Wang Ping, it was not impossible for him to rise to Benme, or even Daibenme, one day.
Seeing his companion in the other one getting into trouble, Ishihara was not jealous, but he was really a little anxious.
And more importantly, his county army is now being held by that Zhou Hu, as long as he Zhou Hu insists on the idea that 'the county army will fight the black tiger thief', then their county army will hardly have a chance to come out, unless Zhou Hu realizes that his county army can also do something.
"Ah...... So I really want to be appreciated by that Zhou Tiger?"
In the moment he figured it out, Ishihara suddenly felt a little discouraged, even if he wanted to get the common sense of Zhou Hu, he just didn't want the county army to become a vassal of the black tiger thief.
At this moment, a deafening shout of killing came from the south side of the rebel garrison.
"Here we go!"
Chen Gui reminded in a low voice.
At the mention of the reminder, Ishihara took a deep breath and shook his head to put the cranky thoughts in his heart behind.
No matter what, the head of the rebel general Xu Bao, he has to try his best to fight for it-even if it is really used to make Zhou Hu change his mind.
"Go according to the plan!"
Ishihara ordered in a low voice.
After a while, after the nearby rebel patrols with torches had all returned to the distant station, Ishihara ordered his prefectural soldiers to take out the torches they had prepared earlier, and immediately lit them with fire breakers, pretending to be rebel patrols, following the previous rebel patrols, and heading towards the rebel garrison.
The patrol team pretending to be a rebel naturally does not need to bring more than 50 county soldiers, on the contrary, if it brings too much, it may reveal flaws.
Therefore, Ishihara left half of the county guards behind, and told them in advance: "You wait and stay outside, and when the black tiger thieves enter the rebel garrison, you will pretend to be the Nanyang army and shout to scare the rebels." β
"Yes." The county guards who were left behind nodded their heads.
Bidding farewell to these county guards, Ishihara took Chen Gui and twenty county soldiers with him, and quickly and orderly rushed to the rebel garrison in the distance, just like those rebel patrols before.
By the time Ishihara and the others approached the rebels' station, Chen Mo and Wang Qing had each led a group of black tiger thieves to launch a surprise attack on the rebels, killing the unprepared rebels and retreating.
Just as Ishihara had predicted, the rebel soldiers who saw them along the way were not suspicious, and even a man who looked like a general gave an order to all of them: "Quick! Kunyang's black turban thieves have been killed, go and help! β
So, Ishihara and the others smoothly mixed in with the hundreds of rebels and rushed towards the battlefield to the west.
I don't know how far I ran, Ishihara suddenly saw a rebel general call them and give them an order: "Everyone stop, immediately form a line on the spot......
Ishihara, Chen Gui, and the twenty county soldiers under them certainly knew how to line up.
Under Ishihara's covert command, their group immediately stood with the rest of the rebel soldiers and formed a line.
At this time, according to Ishihara's eyes, he saw that on the battlefield in front of him, a group of rebel soldiers dressed exactly like them were killed by a group of black bandaged thieves and retreated, in that scream, there were soldiers who continued to howl to the ground and became a corpse, and there were also soldiers who fled to the rear, only under the reprimand of the rebel general, some of them returned to the array in a gloomy manner, looking ahead with a frightened face.
Rao is Ishihara can't get used to the black tiger thief, and he can't help but praise at this moment: This group of evil thieves is indeed fierce!
And at this moment, Ishihara suddenly heard the rebel general in front of him let out a few angry curses: "...... What about Fan Wu? Should you win? What the? Fan Wu was killed? Ying Sheng was also killed? β¦β¦ Damn the black turban thief! β
After scolding a few times, the rebel general turned around and shouted to a group of rebel soldiers, including Ishihara and others: "All the soldiers listen to my orders, don't panic, although the black turban thieves attack fiercely, they are not numerous, as long as we calmly make a counterattack, we will definitely be able to defeat them...... No, we don't just want to defeat them, Qu Shuai's reinforcements must be on the way, as long as we drag these black turban thieves, we will be able to encircle and suppress them in one fell swoop tonight! β¦β¦ Understand, stop them! β
As soon as the words fell, in Ishihara's team, many soldiers shouted: "Follow General Xu's orders!" β
"General Xu? Oh, he's Xu Bao, the rebel general......
Ishihara glanced at the rebel general, his hand holding his sword, and moved his joints slightly.
A moment later, when Xu Bao turned his back to everyone, Shi Yuan glanced at Chen Gui beside him, and then walked quickly towards Xu Bao, and stabbed Xu Bao's vest with a sword.
Poor Xu Bao obviously had six or seven loyal guards holding shields in front of him, but he didn't expect that someone was behind him, and under the gaze of hundreds of rebel soldiers, a sword pierced his chest and abdomen.
"You ......"
Xu Bao turned his head in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that his soldiers had done such a thing to him.
"I'm sorry, general, but I'm not one of your soldiers."
Ishihara said so, and the sword in his hand stabbed Xu Bao twice without hesitation.
