Chapter 192: Assassins
He Nuo carefully analyzed the current situation and knew that although they were able to annihilate the 20,000 South Vietnamese troops last time, on the one hand, it was because they relied on Meng Xiaochen's strategy to catch the other party off guard, and on the other hand, the 20,000 South Vietnamese troops were just transporters transporting supplies, not absolute elite.
And now, the 10,000 elite cavalry that He Nuo is facing can be said to be the elite of the South Vietnamese elite, and led by Lin Zhong, a famous general in South Vietnam, his strength should not be underestimated.
But He Nuo also knows where his advantage lies now, that is, time.
He Nuo expected that after their last operation, the South Vietnamese army's military rations would be tight and they would definitely speed up their moves, so He Nuo was not in a hurry, but waited for work and looked for the best fighters.
But He Nuo had a feeling of uneasiness from the depths of his heart, this feeling was like nothing, but he had always told himself from his inner battlefield experience that in the silent forest where they were now, it seemed that there were no waves, but in fact, under the calm water, there were infinite crises and turbulent waves.
Thinking of this, He Nuo pressed his chest, since he stepped into the battlefield, he has been in a tense situation, rarely has such a leisure moment, the surroundings are extremely quiet, you can hear the wind in your ears, and the sound of killing in the distance.
On this day, He Nuo habitually got up early and routinely prepared to inspect the battalions.
Although He Nuo is the main general, he was born in the army, so he is very sympathetic to the front-line soldiers, and often takes the lead when he fights.
But as soon as He Nuo stepped on the war horse, he heard the sound of bowstrings from behind.
He Nuo was shocked, but immediately instinctively thought of a possibility - an assassin.
He Nuo immediately turned to one side and dodged to the other side of the horse.
He instinctively rolled sideways to the other side of the horse, and at that moment, a bow and arrow came and nailed straight into the trunk of the tree behind He Nuo.
"Assassin!"
He Nuo's instinctive stress response saved his life, and he immediately shouted for help.
At this moment, Lu Chenliang, the captain of He Nuo's personal guard, arrived with a team of cavalry.
After just experiencing such a moment of life and death, He Nuo repeatedly told himself to stay calm, he exhaled lightly, and then said: "There is an assassin, take it down for me!" ”
Lu Chenliang followed He Nuo to the north and south, and now he is also very knowledgeable, he looked at the arrow on the trunk, and then looked back at the direction where the arrow was shot, and shouted loudly: "You two protect the main general, and the rest of you come with me!" ”
Two cavalrymen responded, protecting He Nuo left and right.
"Try to catch it alive." He Nuo told him that he knew that as long as he could capture the assassin alive, he was confident that he would be able to pry more useful information out of the assassin's mouth.
"Yes, Lord!" Lu Chenliang slapped his horsewhip and led people to follow the direction where the arrows came from, and at the same time sent people to each battalion to give orders to strictly protect the commanders of each battalion, because Lu Chenliang had already seen that their potential enemy wanted to use such means to attack the senior officers of He Nuo's army, so as to disintegrate the command system of He Nuo's army to the greatest extent.
He Nuo looked at Lu Chenliang and whipped away, he fell into deep thought, he had already expected that the most likely enemy was Lin Zhong, he knew Lin Zhong, it was an opponent who did not play cards according to common sense, Lin Zhong was very tall, but very thin, the collarbones under his neck were extremely obvious, but his face was impeccable, like a carefully carved white jade, full of lines, but those eyes were cold, as if he was cold, only when he looked at King Yue, he would burst out a warm current.
Lin Zhong was very loyal to King Yue, so in order to achieve the tasks assigned by King Yue, Lin Zhong often did whatever it took to achieve the tasks assigned by King Yue.
Lin Zhong led the most elite 10,000 elite cavalry in South Vietnam, He Nuo knew that although he had the experience of annihilating 20,000 South Vietnamese troops last time, but the 20,000 troops last time were basically transport troops, and their combat power was not strong.
And Lin Zhong has been following the king of Yue for a long time, in the past, the king of Yue handed over the royal guard of South Vietnam to Lin Zhong to lead, he was the only one in the history of South Vietnam who did not have the surname Nguyen's Ruan army captain, followed the king of Yue, and his knowledge was also very unusual and his ability was extremely strong.
Just when He Nuo was deep in thought, suddenly there was a rumble of horses' hooves, and Lu Chenliang arrived with a team of cavalry, and there was a person lying on his horse.
He Nuo only glanced at it, and sighed in his heart that Lu Chenliang's ability to do things would have caught the assassin so quickly, otherwise Lu Chenliang would not have come back so quickly to recover his life, and sure enough, He Nuo heard Lu Chenliang's voice coming:
"Commander, the assassin has been caught."
"Dead?" He Nuo looked at the man in black who fell to the ground, his whole body was stiff at the moment, and a trace of black blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Lu Chenliang frowned: "We surrounded him, and when he saw that he couldn't escape, he bit through the poison sac that he originally held in his mouth, and immediately died of anger." ”
He Nuo groaned: "This is not an ordinary killer, he is trained, otherwise he would not have committed suicide so decisively." ”
After being silent for a long time, He Nuo glanced around and asked seemingly casually, "You say, who is going to kill me?" ”
Lu Chenliang pursed his lips and said: "The general search for the motive for killing is basically to infer who can get the greatest benefit, at present our biggest enemy is the South Vietnamese, last time we wiped out 20,000 people in South Vietnam, robbed them of countless materials, and shocked the world." Now the South Vietnamese want to get rid of us as soon as possible, so this time it must be the South Vietnamese who want to assassinate the main general. ”
He Nuo nodded, "You can be more specific, who is it?" ”
As soon as He Nuo's words fell, he suddenly turned around and looked at the arrow on the trunk.
"Commander!" Lu Chenliang quickly asked people to take down the arrows on the trunk, and then looked at them carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Lord General!" I've seen this kind of arrow, it's a flying cloud arrow from South Vietnam! ”
"Oh?" He Nuo's face sank like water, but he was not so eager to draw conclusions.
At this moment, He Nuo's henchmen and generals all gathered together, and the main general was attacked, which is not a trivial matter in the army after all.
Deputy Marshal Ye Weizhen was very careful, and like He Nuo, he also asked rhetorically: "If it was really the South Vietnamese who arranged the assassination, would they use South Vietnam's own arrows so blatantly?" Although the Flying Cloud Arrow is a specialty of South Vietnam, it is not absent from other places. ”
"yes, not necessarily." He Nuo nodded, "The battlefield is unpredictable, and we are not just an enemy. ”
The military advisor Chu Xiu Neng thought deeply and said: "In the last battle, we can almost say that we are famous all over the world, but the tree is a big move, and many discerning people have seen the power behind our army. ”
He Nuo smiled: "It's not so easy to kill me, okay, isn't it just an assassin?" Let the horses come! I'm not afraid. ”
