Chapter 424
In fact, according to Li Wenyuan's temperament, he doesn't even want to wear this layer of close-fitting soft armor. After all, it was difficult for the gods to hide from the smoke, so they made a musket and made it popular. Then the soldiers defending the city naturally also enjoy the treatment and authority to use muskets, so this layer of soft armor that they are close to can also guard against some bows and hidden weapons fifty steps away, if the other party is using a musket, this layer of soft armor can also give themselves a psychological comfort.
However, although Li Wenyuan thought so, it was difficult to resist the hospitality of his subordinates, so he put this layer of soft armor on the inside of his robe, and then said to the commander of the 33rd Division:
"All in all, I'll leave this matter to you first. Moreover, lend me two hundred more men, shrewd, capable, and extraordinary. I want them to pretend to be my honor guard, and I want to enter this Zhangye county city again as the king of Tang, I want to see if these night owls are still thinking about killing me after I clearly reveal my identity? ”
The commander of the 33rd Division nodded yes, and then whispered to the subordinates next to him. His subordinates naturally went to run this leg for their division commander, and the commander of the 33rd Division stayed here, accompanying Li Wenyuan to chat and wait for the team to be assembled. In fact, he didn't talk about anything, Li Wenyuan opened his mouth to ask the commander of the 33rd Division, what kind of attitude he and his soldiers had when he was about to go to the battlefield.
After hearing this, the commander of the thirtieth and thirtieth division naturally picked up those New Year's greetings. He only said that he and his soldiers did not look forward to a day when they could kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and return home after receiving the reward. So if it's too late to rejoice in the face of such a great opportunity, how can there be war-weariness?
The commander of the 33rd Division in front of him naturally knew how much water was in his heart. However, at this time, his mind was not here, so what the division commander in front of him said, Li Wenyuan listened to it, anyway, the pace of the war will never change or stop because of a small person, after all, the war is a gold hole, once the two sides start the war, after the army is fired. Unless one side's economy collapses, or the other side is able to claim the financial compensation demanded by the other, the war will continue indefinitely. This is the iron rule of war, and no one can change it. As the saying goes, war is the ultimate means of political struggle.
While the two were talking, the two hundred sturdy soldiers that Li Wenyuan had requested had already been prepared. In addition, the commander of the 33rd Division specially issued the 200 soldiers with brand-new Mingguang heavy armor that had been pressed at the bottom of the box and 200 fast guns that had just been issued to the arsenal of the 33rd Division last month. Because after entering Zhangye County, the environment is more complicated, and the distance of the firefight may become very short. Therefore, in addition to carrying a gunpowder long rifle on their backs, the two hundred soldiers also concealed two short muskets on their bodies to deal with possible street encounters.
After Li Wenyuan saw this, he was quite surprised in his heart. Although the commander of the 33rd Division is the commander of the first division and a martial artist, he can really be called meticulous in handling some things, and it is impossible to find flaws. So before leaving, Li Wenyuan deliberately patted the shoulder of the commander of the 33rd Division, and then gave him a meaningful look, and then rode the high-headed horse he rode, and with 200 soldiers, slowly approached Zhangye County from the official road.
Seeing that Li Wenyuan's figure gradually disappearing completely, the commander of the 33rd Division moved away from the body that had been looking at Li Wenyuan fixedly. Li Wenyuan's last movements and eyes made the commander of the 33rd Division a little confused. Just now he was indeed trying his best to curry favor with Li Wenyuan, but Li Wenyuan's move was undoubtedly telling himself that he had seen through his tricks.
Then the next thing to see is what kind of attitude Li Wenyuan has, does he appreciate himself like this? Or disgust? But if it was disgust, Li Wenyuan's last look seemed a little wrong; If it is appreciation, Li Wenyuan's expression and tone of speech did not reveal any happiness, but was as calm as an ancient well.
The commander of the 33rd Division is a martial artist himself, perhaps among the martial artists, his family background is quite good, so he can read some words, so he became the division commander. But after all, a martial artist is a martial artist, and how to learn it in terms of human feelings and sophistication is not authentic. Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time but without any results, the commander of the 33rd Division also wisely chose to give up thinking, turned around and asked the military leader next to him and said:
"How did you deal with the twenty night owls who came out of Zhangye County before?"
After listening to the words of his division commander, the military lord stood next to the division commander and whispered to him:
"It's all cleaned up, and none of them are left. Oh, I have to praise it, that is, His Royal Highness King Tang is a little too biased towards those night owls. You must know that the fast crossbows used by the fifty brothers I brought this time were all newly installed, but in the first round of salvos, there were seven or eight night owls who relied on the high quality of the soft armor on their bodies, and they were unscathed. Thanks to the long range of our crossbows, we were able to send arrows into their necks just as they were about to escape. Otherwise, it would be a big problem to deal with these tails. ”
"Hmm. Anyway, just get rid of them. Remember what I told you, and you also told your men that the night owls in Zhangye County are no longer night owls. Their leader has been determined to betray His Royal Highness King Tang completely, and I know from grapevine that they seem to have captured their mistress Qiu Niang.
This time it really touched the scales of His Royal Highness the King of Tang, if you use the temper of His Royal Highness the King of Tang, it is estimated that there are night owls in this county town, and no one can run away if one is counted, and all of them will die. You will do things more beautifully next, and His Royal Highness the Tang King will still have to rebuild the night owl network in Zhangye County after all. When the time comes, I will go to His Royal Highness the Tang King to recommend you and make you the person in charge of the night owl in Zhangye County.
But let's talk about the ugly things in the front, you can do some black income in private without being obtrusive. But there are three things you should remember not to touch: first, don't be greedy, second, don't rebel, and third, don't oppress the people. ”
