"What are you going to do, you can't do this to me, I'm a messenger sent by Lord Lige, how can you do this?" The envoy sent by the rebels was stuffed into a chariot of the War Eagle Squad by Yin Kaicheng and his people, and then drove towards the direction of the Silver Tower.

When the messenger realized where they were taking him, his voice changed in fright: "My lord, I beg you, don't let me hand it over to them, I will be tortured to death by them!" My lord, please let me go! ”

Yin Kaicheng was unmoved, and said: "It stands to reason that the two armies will not fight each other, but you are rebels, and these principles will not work if they are applied to you." After meeting Duke Dozan, his attitude is a little better, maybe he can leave you a whole corpse, and that's all I can help you. ”

"No, you guys who don't want to die well, I'm just passing on the word, why do you do this to me...... Hmm......" The messenger's mouth was gagged by a soldier, and there was no more shouting.

In the study room of the Duke of Yinta's mansion, Duke Duozan was sipping fragrant tea very comfortably, and the two beautiful maids beside him were pinching his shoulders and beating his legs. He is an elegant and noble person, so he can still be calm in this kind of war situation, especially calm. In his opinion, even if the rebels have now fought outside the Silver Tower, he can still be calm, and this is a qualified leader.

At this time, Du Mo walked in quickly, his expression was a little panicked, and he whispered to Duke Duozan. Duke Dozan's original elegant expression was gone, replaced by a thoughtful look.

"Where is the messenger now?" Duke Dozan asked after drinking off the two maids.

Du Mo hurriedly replied, "Now that our guards have taken over, I have sent someone to put him in the dungeon. ”

Duke Dozan groaned again and said, "It's a little interesting, it seems that this guy Lige is not stupid, and he can actually come up with it to win them over." Cheng Lei is even more shrewd, nominally handing over this messenger to me to show his intentions, but in fact he is here to ask for benefits again. Silver Tower City is divided in half, this Lige will really allow this kind of castle in the air, Cheng Lei is not a fool, he must not believe them. ”

Du Mo asked: "Then what benefits do we give Cheng Lei to satisfy him?" ”

"You're still too tender, Du Mo, I have already prepared a reward for them when they won the battle before, but I didn't wait for the right time to give them a reward." Duke Dozan said confidently.

"Didn't you give them a few boxes of gold coins......

Duke Duozan said disdainfully: "You remember for me, you will be the second in command of this Silver Tower City in the future, I don't want to take care of any trivial matters, so I'm afraid that the power in your hands is greater than mine, so you have to become more mature." You listen to me, a problem that can be solved with money, it can never be called a problem! Do you think Cheng Lei will put that little money in his eyes? ”

Du Mo looked at Duke Duozan with some confusion: "If you don't put money in your eyes, then what else does he want?" Woman or what? ”

Duke Dozan sighed: "With money, how many women does he want?" First, after the rebellion was quelled, the income of Yinta City changed from three or seven points to four or six points, he got four, and we got six. Second, he had always wanted a piece of land to be used as a base for their guards after the war, and I agreed, and there was a pasture fifty miles west of the city with 5,000 acres of land, which was given to them after the war. Thirdly, send them the ammunition they need as soon as they are ready, and give them half of the craftsmen and equipment from the Nancheng Foundry! ”

It was a very tempting condition to take out one of these three at random, and the Duke of Dozan threw them all at once, and he didn't hold back at all. Du Mo's mouth opened wider and wider, and finally he couldn't close it, he was so surprised, Duke Duozan was going to spend blood to win over Cheng Lei's guards!

"But I have a condition for giving them this, and it's very simple. One is that they will do their best to help us put down the rebellion, and the other is that after the counterinsurgency is successful, they will form an alliance with us and unite with the outside world. Go and talk to them now. After Duke Dozan finished speaking, it was as if all the bones in his body were falling apart all at once, and the whole person collapsed in the seat.

paid such a big price, if Cheng Lei was still not greedy enough, Duke Duozan could only break with him. But who can say well what will happen after the break, and who will win and who will lose the war with the rebels, and where can they predict.

In the camp of the Lion King Squadron, Cheng Lei looked at Du Mo while smoking a cigarette while crossing Erlang's legs. After Du Mo conveyed the meaning of Duke Duozan to Cheng Lei, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had let go of a big burden in his heart.

Cheng Lei took a sip of the teacup and said, "This is what Duke Duozan means?" Are you done, Lord Mo? ”

Du Mo was a little panicked: "It's over, that's what His Excellency Duke said, if Mr. Cheng has any different opinions, you can tell me, and I will reply to His Excellency Duke." ”

Cheng Lei smiled at this time, took a deep breath of smoke and said: "Lord Du Mo is now the head of city affairs in Yinta City, why is he still running these bits and pieces all day long." When you become a big official, you don't know how to assign your subordinates to work, but you just blindly work hard, which is not good! ”

Du Mo was a little surprised why Cheng Lei wanted to open the topic, but he still replied: "I have always been running these external liaison matters, so I am still responsible for these things before the end of the war." Mr. Cheng is the hero of our Silver Tower City, of course I can't just send one of my subordinates. If that's the case, Mr. Cheng should also say that he is not sensible. ”

"Hehehe......" Cheng Lei clapped his hands: "Lord Du Mo will always be so good at talking, okay, presumably Lord Du Mo is very busy now, and he can still find time to make a special trip to show that he attaches great importance to us, thank you." I won't beat around the bush, since Duke Dozan looks down on my mercenary guard so much, then I will be disrespectful, you go back and let him rest assured, the mercenary guard will definitely stand by his side, and we will still be close comrades-in-arms, all of you. ”

Du Mo's face was flushed with joy: "In this case, I will rest assured, Mr. Cheng, Du Mo will go first, and I will also report this good news to His Excellency the Duke." ”

Cheng Lei nodded and motioned for the sentry to send off the guest. After they walked without a shadow, Cheng Lei laughed out loud and said to Zheng Bin: "Lao Zheng, Lao Zheng, what kind of Lige of that rebel has helped us a lot." If you want to sleep, someone will send us a pillow, and the conditions given by Duozan are what I have always dreamed of, and now there is such a messenger incident, he is really panicked so generous. You hurry up and send someone to the Chengnan Foundry to transport back those craftsman equipment and the bullets we ordered last time, so as not to have too many dreams at night! Haha, yes, yes......"

Zheng Bin said: "Lao Cheng, praise for being so generous this time, is there any conspiracy!" He didn't think that the war would start and let us go head-to-head with the rebels, would he? ”

Cheng Lei glanced at Zheng Bin and said with some amusement: "It's okay for us to go head-to-head, but he still has to give in to the greater good." Why Lao Zheng, don't you have confidence, we can't beat those guys with backward equipment? ”

"It's not that we can't beat it, it's just that we have too few people, as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, we can't take it lightly!" Zheng Bin's face was full of worry.

"Don't worry, Lao Zheng, I know it in my heart, you go and arrange people, I'll think about it again." Cheng Lei also feels that how to maximize benefits is the main goal at present, but he and Zheng Bin have the same idea, and they don't want the Lion King Squadron to lose anything.

It's just that after the real fight, there are no eyes for knives and guns, who can guarantee that the soldiers will not be lost? Every member of the team is a very good special forces fighter, and even the loss of one is a particularly heavy loss for the Lion King squadron. The grasp of these things still mainly lies with Cheng Lei, and he sometimes feels that he feels a little exhausted, after all, to survive as a force in this war-torn Silver Tower City, and to survive better, it takes not ordinary energy and means.

Cheng Lei was carefully wiping his beloved pistol with a gun cloth, his brain was spinning rapidly. The Lion King's squadron's ammunition storage was now very depleted after the battle against the Fangs. The bullets that Duke Dozan promised last time had already been made for them, and they could make them themselves with their own craftsmen and equipment in the future.

However, howitzer shells have become a problem, and the specifications and power of howitzer shells may not be able to be made in a while, that is to say, now one shot is used to reduce one round. Although the current reserves can still be used to support the war, I am afraid that the actual war will soon be exhausted. It seems that it is necessary to study and manufacture cannonballs as soon as possible, otherwise if there are only cannons without shells, it will be equivalent to a burning stick.

Over the next few days, the battle suddenly became tense. Both sides are intensifying efforts to build various fortifications and dig trenches. The trenches at the front are mainly to prevent the opponent's cavalry from raiding, so you don't need to dig deep, just make it difficult for the horses to move. The trenches used by the Tibetan troops should be dug to a depth of more than two meters, which can effectively prevent enemy artillery attacks and reduce casualties.

The front lines of the two sides are only about three kilometers apart, and once the war starts, it will be a very heavy exchange of fire, so all the nerves of everyone are very nervous. Duke Dozan set up a counterinsurgency command in the Silver Tower, and the Xilin brothers and sisters served as the chief and deputy commanders of the headquarters.

The Duke of Dozan was personally responsible for their supplies, and declared that the battle could only be won and not lost, and made a military order. If an officer or soldier of the Guard kills a rebel, he will be rewarded with two Golden Victors. Kill a rebel officer and reward 10 Golden Vic. Kill the rebel leader, or Ligg, any of the four of them, and reward 200 Jinvic.
