Chapter 187: Opportunity
The Crow Mountains, the city of mountain spring. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It was located at the junction of the Eastern Ying sphere of influence and the English sphere of influence, and at this moment, the most dangerous pass was being guarded by an elite Eastern Ying army.
Since the agreement between Dongying and England, caravans have been passing through here one after another, exchanging the necessary supplies needed for their settlements, but today, the gate is suddenly closed, blocking all the caravans that are ready to pass through the door.
"All the caravans have returned, and Maeda-sama has ordered the pass to be closed and closed to traffic, and if any caravans stay nearby, they will all be expelled." Spearhead in black light armor held a spear in his hand and said to the caravan leaders in front of him.
"This military master, can you tell us when we can pass?" One of the caravan leaders couldn't help but say that the pass that used to be easy to pass by bribery was no longer working, which made him very distressed, and if he couldn't trade in the English city on the other side of the pass, he would suffer a huge loss.
"Less nonsense, no passage is no passage, hurry up and get far away." The guard's spear was reluctant to say more, and he raised his weapon very impatiently and scolded.
Seeing the guards raise their weapons one after another, these caravan leaders suddenly stopped talking and began to retreat, preparing to leave, although they had money, they still did not dare to bargain with the army guarding Shanchun City.
"Let us see your lordship, I am from England, why do you close the pass and forbid us to pass, are you not afraid of the wrath of England, we have a bilateral trade agreement." Among the retreating Dongying caravans, a caravan from England appeared, and they expressed their dissatisfaction, pointing to the mountain spring city next to the pass and shouting.
"English?" Hearing this, the hand holding the spear stiffened, but when he remembered the order he had received, he suddenly felt a sense of pleasure, "What about the English, this is the place of the Dongying people, you must obey our orders, if you want to go back to your hometown, please go back to the jungle in the south or the coastal area in the north." ”
"There's a war going on in the north, how do we get there? There are still remnants of France in the south, are you forcing us to die? Who will compensate for our losses, open your eyes to see clearly, this is Lord Albert's guest on the table, the leader of our Chamber of Commerce, do you know the consequences of your actions? An attendant said arrogantly, slowly pulling the curtain on a carriage, and a middle-aged man dressed in a very gorgeous dress wearing a metal necklace got out of the carriage and stared at the martial law pass.
"Translate to them, if I can't pass it from here today, Lord Albert will consider rescinding all the terms of trade in the armistice, and England's trade with Dongying will be terminated, and if I receive an apology from the soldiers in front of me, and an order to let them go immediately, then none of this will happen." The gorgeously dressed middle-aged man said calmly to the attendant beside him.
"Yes, sir." The attendant nodded immediately, then turned to the ashigaru people in the pass and repeated it in the Toei language.
People rely on clothes, seeing such a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man, the ashigaru people are a little afraid to act easily, several ashigaru discussed, ready to report the news, at this moment, a samurai appeared, suddenly quieted the scene.
"Kimura-sama." The ashigaru saluted and made way for the samurai.
In the Dongying caravan that was watching, a pair of eyes different from others watched all this happen, and Chen Xiaochu had the help of his watch and knew very well what they were talking about.
Pretending to be a caravan, he came to investigate in person, just to understand how powerful this obstacle is, with Zhao Yun guarding him on the side, Chen Xiaochu is not worried about his safety, and most of his camouflage caravan is from the New Guard led by Genmen Jiro.
"There are people who have negotiated, it seems that it is possible to enter the pass, and this Englishman looks like a big man with weight, and it seems that he can influence the exchange and cooperation between the two civilizations." Chen Xiaochu was already hopeless, but he didn't expect this scene to happen, and suddenly he had some expectations in his heart, "Zilong, maybe we still have a chance this time." ”
Lu Bu led most of the army to hide in the distance an hour away, and if he could take the gate at this moment, then his overall plan would be half successful.
"My lord, the enemy army guarding the pass doesn't seem to be the same as the Dongying army encountered in the past." Zhao Yun observed those Ashigaru wearing black armor and reminded them that the uniforms showed that they had a complete system and good training, and the impression of those chaotic Dongying troops did not apply to the people in front of them.
"Asai Sawa, tell me, who is the leader of this army?" Chen Xiaochu nodded, and then asked Asai Sawa in a low voice, the composition of this caravan is a group of samurai under Asai Sawa, and his own clones, no more than fifty people, in addition, there is also the main force of the new guard led by Genmen Jiro hidden near the pass, waiting to pick him up, Asai Sawa's family is all "protected" in his own teleportation camp, so he has no choice but to obey his own dispatch.
"Back to the adult, Yamaharu Castle is the main team of the Maeda Toshiya who is responsible for guarding him, he is the big man of our Dongying, and the existence of those daimyo on an equal footing, even if it is the daimyo of the daimyos, Matsuoka-sama, it is only a cooperative relationship with the Maeda army, no one can make this big man succumb, Maeda Toshiya is the lord of a country here."
"Oh? And such a thing? It's a reinforcement that can't be included in the command. Chen Xiaochu pondered, even if he became the leader of the Dongying Civilization Alliance, he would not be able to subdue the other party, how strong must he be to refuse such a solicitation.
Instead of occupying the rich areas of the plains, he occupied the steep Crow Mountains with his army, and was at the forefront of the confrontation with the English army, and it was necessary to have a high level of mutual trust with Matsuoka Keiichi to do this.
"We must find a way to entrench in the vicinity, or create chaos to enter the pass, and then block the road from Shanchun City to the pass, guard until the new guard comes to support, and finally usher in a large army led by Lu Bu." Chen Xiaochu waited for the changes on the scene, imagining various possibilities.
"Zilong, they have agreed to open the pass and are ready to start." Suddenly, Chen Xiaochu vaguely heard the words of the switch, and after seeing the warrior waving his hand, he immediately said to Zhao Yun.
The gate of the pass was slowly opened by a somewhat reluctant ashigaru, and the richly dressed middle-aged man stepped into the carriage, and the caravan of the English began to enter the pass in formation.
"Lord, what to do?" Zhao Yun clenched the Qingyu Sword, and his body immediately tensed, no longer concealing it.
"Shoot an English caravan squire, then shoot a gun, and then do it halfway through the caravan." Chen Xiaochu's right hand was placed on the hilt of the saber, and his eyes were sharp, "This gate may only have this chance to open, and we must take this pass today." (To be continued.) )
