Chapter 11 Guiding the Country
A few days later, Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin stood on the lookout post they had built and looked southwest. Cheng Lei was smoking a cigarette he had rolled himself from a cigarette he bought from the market, and he commented there.
"Duke Dozan's plan for peaceful transition and deterrence during this period has completely failed. Hehe, I'll just say that if these people in Baili don't die, there will definitely be a trick, no, the wealthy families in Beicheng have begun to openly support them. Cheng Lei took a puff of cigarette and pointed to the two hundred soldiers that the big families were sending to Baili and said.
Zheng Bin held the binoculars in his hand and looked thoughtful: "No, it's only been a few days, how could Baili be so anxious to turn his face with Duozan?" He was quite honest some time ago! β
Cheng Lei smiled again: "Brother, you are too naΓ―ve, the struggle for power and position is not what you think." These people turn their faces faster than they turn a book, and killing people is easier than killing chickens! β
"What should we do if there is a conflict now?" Zheng Bin asked solemnly.
Cheng Lei took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Wait and see, don't Duozan think that Xiling borrowed a hundred elite soldiers, and their strength has increased greatly?" Then let them suffer a little first! By the way, how was the troop deployment plan we worked out that day arranged? β
"It's all arranged, don't you see that there is no one on the training ground at all? Let me tell you, now there are only two light commanders in our mercenary guard base, you and me, and there are two radar soldiers, and even Jin Zi has a mission to go out. If people hit our door now, we can only sing the empty city plan! Zheng Bin said jokingly.
Then he lowered his voice again, and only the two of them could hear it: "If there are no accidents, with our plan, even if they have a group of people, it will be in vain." Long-range snipers with close-range automatic rifles, grenade bazookas with flamethrowers, and strikes from unknown outposts, as long as we still have bullets, they don't want to win. β
Now it was Cheng Lei's turn to tease him: "It's just your wishful thinking, maybe Duke Duozan doesn't regard us as an important force at all." Now in the eyes of that old guy, the hundred elite soldiers borrowed from Daheng City are much more powerful than us. β
"No matter what, if we take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, we can't eat other people's food for nothing, right?"
Cheng Lei immediately put on a look like you are an idiot: "If we hadn't come here, the two of them would have started fighting a long time ago." The hundred elite soldiers borrowed by Duke Dozan were actually used to cover his escape. It was because of our arrival that Barry and them threw a rat bogey, and Duke Dozan had these actions later. In terms of merit, is our merit still small? β
Zheng Bin nodded and said: "The truth is true, I understand it, but ......"
"I know you would say that you are entrusted with the work of loyalty, or that you take people's money to ward off disasters for others. In fact, we are poking at the old duke's mansion next to this silver tower, and we are already doing things for the old fox of Dozan. Let Tabairi or Dozan's traitorous brother weigh the weight of what they want to poke here before they do it. There was only one cigarette butt left in Cheng Lei's hand, but he still took two puffs before throwing it away.
At this time, Zheng Bin took the binoculars and pointed at the direction of the first guard of the Silver Tower, that is, the elite troops of Baili, and beckoned to Cheng Lei: "Old Cheng, come and see, Sikong has also begun to blatantly pull the soldiers to Baili." β
Cheng Lei also picked up the telescope hanging around his neck, and it was clearly seen in the lens that Sikong, the captain of the Second Guard of the Silver Tower, who was also the younger brother of Duke Dozan, led all seventy or eighty people of the Second Guard into the camp of the First Guard. Coupled with the soldiers of the big families in Beicheng who had arrived before, there were nearly four hundred people on their side.
On Duke Duozan's side, the Xilin brothers and sisters and Cheng Lei's people together are only in their early 200s. In terms of numbers, the Baili side has an absolute advantage. But Cheng Lei didn't think so, the soldiers who fought the war were not expensive, and they were not afraid of any number of them.
"Report to the headquarters, there is a situation outside the city, and the diplomat Fei Bo led a team of men and horses to approach Silver Tower City. Stopped twenty kilometers from the city, about a hundred people, and more than a hundred horses. Please instruct! "The sound of a secret whistle outside the city came over the intercom.
"Command received, continue to observe, pay attention to concealment, and report new movements at any time!" Cheng Lei's mouth was filled with a smile, and now the opponent's last hole card has also come out.
Zheng Bin's face changed slightly: "There are more than five hundred people, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning here." In the end, the burden on our shoulders is not small! β
Cheng Lei also looked in the direction of the First Guards with a telescope: "Nearly 400 people fought with Duozanhuo, and in the end, both sides were defeated, and the strength of both sides was almost exhausted, and the 100 people came to clean up the mess." This Captain Barry's wishful thinking is really good! β
Zheng Bin said: "We haven't exposed our true strength in front of them at all, and Baili thinks that we are about the same strength as those soldiers borrowed by Xiling." Four hundred against two hundred, Baili will definitely think that he is winning, why do he borrow troops from the outside in this move? β
Cheng Lei had a look of your too innocent expression and said, "Do you think Duozan is about the strength of the Third and Fourth Guards and our mercenary guards?" Haven't you read the information, his silver pagoda alone consumes hundreds of catties of meat every day, and he Baili plus those concubines and servants need to eat so much? β
"So Duozan still has a back hand in the Silver Tower?" Zheng Bin looked surprised, he didn't think about it at all.
Cheng Lei stretched out a finger: "There are no less than a hundred people with guns, this is the minimum information, otherwise why do you think the old fox is hiding in the silver tower all day long?" Can you live forever by hiding in it, my comrade instructor? β
Zheng Bin patted Cheng Lei a little angrily: "Why do you think of it first every time, how many brains do you have?" β
Cheng Lei smiled: "It's not just me, they are Bairi, Xilin brothers and sisters, the people in this city, and even the people in our squadron know it, but you don't know it." I don't think it's that I have more brains, but you have one less, right? β
"You guy, dare you say I'm brainless?" Zheng Bin became angry and began to chase Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei hurriedly went down the ladder to the lookout post, otherwise if the two of them were fighting on it, one would be embarrassed and lose his hair.
According to Cheng Lei's deployment plan, all the team members who went out brought enough food and water for three days, because according to Cheng Lei's estimate, there will definitely be changes in these three days. If nothing happens within three days, then there will be a long period of Cold War.
If there is no movement for three days, then the net that has been cast can be withdrawn. However, according to the current situation, it is impossible for the hundred people brought by Feibo outside the city to look like there is no movement.
Du Mo came mysteriously again, but he was surprised that there was no sentry at the entrance of the barracks that he feared. It seems that when I came here before, I was led by a sentry to meet Cheng Lei, but this time I was still a little unaccustomed to being able to come in in a grand manner.
"I don't know if Mr. Du Mo is coming, it's a long way to go!" Cheng Lei actually got the news of Du Mo's arrival a long time ago. Don't look at the fact that there is no bright post at the gate now, but there are countless secret whistles, if the person who comes is not Du Mo but a person with ill intentions, I am afraid that he will not be able to go to the gate at all.
Du Mo still looked honest and frightened: "My lord's so many courtesies are really embarrassing, my lord, why is the sentry at the gate missing, and there is no one in this camp?" β
Zheng Bin said: "Lord Dumo, these are the secrets of our guard, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to say." β
Du Mo was even more frightened: "The lower officials are too talkative, since it is a secret in the camp, it is better not to say it." β
Cheng Lei said very generously at this time: "Actually, it's nothing, it's all great, my mercenary guard camp is actually an empty camp now, and everyone is ready to fly." Just wait for the Duke's Majesty to give the order, and all the mercenary guards should go to the soup and fire. β
Zheng Bin handed a teacup to Du Mo: "Drink some tea to suppress the shock, Lord Dumo, you must have something to do today, right?" β
Du Mo took a sip of tea and said, "Two lords, it was His Excellency the Duke who sent me to inform you. The men of Bari had begun to assemble, and now there were at least four hundred soldiers in the camp of the First Guard. The war is about to break out, and if that time comes, please ask the two adults to fulfill their promises. Mr. Cheng's words just now made my heart put in my stomach, and the two adults really believe in people. β
Cheng Lei nodded and said: "This is natural, but I also hope that Lord Du Mo will tell His Excellency the Duke, of course we will do everything we should do, and I hope that His Excellency the Duke will also fulfill his promise." β
Du Mo exchanged a few words with them and left, which also shows the urgency of the battle, in the past, Du Mo would stay with them for half a day, but today it was only for less than half an hour.
"Report to the command, emergency, Baili led dozens of people to a friction with Xiling's headquarters one kilometer southwest of the Silver Tower, someone opened fire, and no one died visually. Please command instructions! "An alarm has been sent from the secret sentinel deployed near the Silver Tower.
Cheng Lei was stunned for a moment, and said to the headset: "The command received it, continue to monitor, and pay attention to concealment." β
Zheng Bin came over at this time and said, "What's the matter, have you refuted the fire, are there any dead or injured?" β
Cheng Lei shook his head: "No, I think it's just a temptation, Baili's temptation." In a formal battle, it is impossible for him to charge in front of him personally, and it is impossible to bring only such a small number of people. β
