Chapter 318: The Secret Passage into the City
Since there was no railway in the kingdom of Chamsi, Feng Shichang had no choice but to get into a jeep with Ramisiwani and drive towards Delhi with a company of guards. The Twelfth Army of the Wehrmacht was not equipped with vehicles, they were still infantry divisions in the traditional sense, and their marching speed was not fast, so two days later, Feng Shichang and others, who were traveling day and night, caught up with this force.
"Vice President Feng, why are you here?" Seeing Feng Shichang, Xiao Cheng, the commander of the Twelfth Army, was extremely surprised.
Feng Shichang said with a smile: "Why can't I come, my bones are almost rusty in the general staff, this time I happened to have a mission, so I asked for it with Your Majesty." How? Think I'm getting in the way, old guy? ”
Xiao Cheng said with a smile: "How can it, Vice President Feng came to the scene to command, I can't ask for it." ”
Feng Shichang waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about so many useless things, I'll introduce you first." ”
Feng Shichang gestured to Ramisivani who was sitting in the car and said, "This is Xiao Cheng, the commander of the Twelfth Army we dispatched this time, and the troops dispatched this time are all his subordinates. ”
Feng Shichang said to Xiao Cheng again: "This is the sister of the former queen of the Chhanxi Kingdom, Lena III, the new Queen of Chhansivani, and the newly recognized sister of His Majesty. ”
"Huh? A new sister? "The identity of the queen of Zhanxi did not make Xiao Cheng scruple much, after all, the Chinese Empire is much stronger than them, so he doesn't care about the queen of this weak country, but the identity of this newly recognized sister under His Majesty is not trivial, which is equivalent to the imperial family.
"Hello, Your Majesty." Xiao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and greeted respectfully.
Ramiswani nodded: "This time it's hard for General Xiao." ”
"Don't dare to be, since Her Majesty the Queen is advancing with us, we are justified, and I hope that Her Majesty the Queen will restrain the Zhanxi troops along the way to avoid unnecessary casualties." Xiao Cheng's tone was much more polite than just now.
Ramisivani nodded, "I will solve this problem, and I guarantee that you can arrive in Delhi without hindrance." Now that Feng Shichang has come, Xiao Cheng also unceremoniously got into the jeep and studied the battle plan with them.
"Report to the Commander, there's a guy blocking our way." A cavalry correspondent ran to the car to report.
"Oh?" Xiao Cheng glanced at Feng Shichang and said, "Who is it?" ”
The correspondent said: "That person said that it was a guard in the palace of Zhanxi, called Nalian, and it was a woman. ”
Ramisifani exclaimed, "It's my bodyguard, she must be in a hurry." ”
Xiao Cheng nodded at the correspondent and said, "Bring her over." ”
After a while, a dusty woman was brought in front of several people, and Ramisivani exclaimed, stepped forward and hugged Nalian and said, "What's wrong with you, why are you so embarrassed." ”
Narian said: "Your Majesty, I sneaked out of the secret passage, the palace has been occupied by Prince Lani, and he plans to plot against you when you return to the city. ”
Ramisivani said, "Prince Rani? How is this possible? ”
"I've heard that it was the Sahr who supported his seizure of power. ”
Feng Shichang walked over and said: "The matter is already very clear, the Saar people do not have the ability to launch another attack on the interior, so they plan to use the policy of division and use your internal contradictions to beat the civil war in order to achieve the goal of attrition of you, we must immediately rush to Delhi to control the situation and minimize the bad impact." ”
Feng Shichang turned around and asked, "Xiao Cheng, how many cavalry do you have?" ”
"Cavalry?" Xiao Cheng said embarrassedly: "Vice President, where did we come from the cavalry of the Infantry Army, but because we didn't change trucks like the Guards, we still have a few cavalry reconnaissance companies." ”
After carefully thinking about the strength in his hands, Feng Shichang said: "Didn't Your Majesty set up a special operations brigade for each of your armies?" ”
"Yes, there are 300 people in our 12th Army's Special Operations Brigade, and they are all good hands trained by the Special Operations Army." Xiao Cheng replied affirmatively.
A few months ago, Fang Xiaoyu equipped all corps-level units of the regular army with special operations brigades, and these people are quasi-special forces trained by the special operations army himself, and they are used as reserve personnel for the special operations army, and at the same time, they can also perform some tasks that the regular army units cannot undertake on the battlefield.
Feng Shichang nodded and said, "Collect enough horses for the special operations team, let them set off with my guard company, we will go to Delhi first, and you will come later." ”
"That's not going to work." Xiao became embarrassed: "I'll go first, and the vice president will follow the army." ”
Feng Shichang said: "Nonsense, you are the head of the army, how can you break away from the army, I will do this matter." ”
Xiao Chengdao: "Vice President, aren't you embarrassing me?" If anything happens to you, your majesty will have to shoot me. ”
Feng Shichang glared at him and said, "Where will there be something, you didn't have a high gun when Lao Tzu was in the field, and now you came here to teach me a lesson." ”
Xiao Cheng was Feng Shichang's old subordinate, and he followed him when he was in the garrison, and the two had a good relationship, so Feng Shichang didn't have much scruples about speaking to him. Although Xiao Cheng has been grinding hard with Feng Shichang, he can only abide by Feng Shichang's strict orders.
Feng Shichang took the guard company in the car, followed by a large group of cavalry and headed towards Delhi City at full speed. By this time they were not too far from the city of Derry, and two days later they were under the city of Delhi.
When he arrived here, Feng Shichang did not rush in, but asked the special operations team to send scouts to investigate, while he led the team to hide in a small forest nearby and quietly wait for the news.
"Deputy General Staff, we're all back." Dong Weixin, the captain of the special operations team, greeted Feng Shichang.
Feng Shichang nodded: "It's good to be back, what's the situation?" ”
Dong Weixin said: "On the surface, it looks very calm, and they also allow people to enter and exit, but the inventory near the city gate is much stricter. However, there was a problem with the houses facing the West City Gate, and I found that the doors of these houses were closed, and the windows were tightly covered, so that no one could be seen moving at all. ”
Dong Weixin took the kettle handed over by a soldier, raised his head and took a big sip and said: "I deliberately went to the largest restaurant near the West City Gate to have a meal, where the third floor can overlook the entire Xicheng District, I observed there for a long time, and found that there are often some big men in the courtyard of these houses back and forth, and then I saw many big men with guns, it is estimated that they are ambushers." I went to look at the palace again, and there were guards at the gate that I couldn't sneak into, but it looked like the palace was also cordoned off, and the gate was closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave. I told the scouts to guard the four gates for a whole day, and calculated that no more than five people would enter or leave, and I found that the food inside was brought in by a special carriage, and judging by the amount of food sent in, there should be no more than two hundred people inside. ”
Feng Shichang nodded: "Very good, you go and rest." ”
When Dong Weixin and the others left, Feng Shichang said to Ramisiwani: "Now we need to study how to enter the city, and we also have to bypass the ambush." ”
Ramisivani said, "Our palace has a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, and this is how Nalyan escaped, and we can enter the city from there. ”
Feng Shichang frowned and said, "Even your guards know that there is this tunnel in Lu Dao, I'm afraid that it has already been controlled there, and we are likely to be ambushed when we go in." ”
Ramisivani shook his head and said, "Not all the guards know about the existence of this secret path, only my sister and I knew about it back then, and Nalian only knew about it because he succeeded me as the head of the guards, so it should still be very reliable." ”
Feng Shichang nodded and said, "Okay, let's enter the palace through the secret passage tonight and control the palace first." ”
As night fell, the men of the guard company and the special operations brigade had already eaten dinner and were ready for battle. The guard company left a platoon to guard the vehicles and horses, while Ramisivani took Feng Shichang and the others to a small nearby village and stopped in front of a low-rise household.
"Is this it?" Feng Shichang asked.
Ramisivani nodded: "That's right, this is the exit." Then she went up and knocked on the door, and in a moment an old woman came out.
Ramisivani did not speak, but took out a crystal clear seal from her pocket, and the old woman saluted as soon as she saw the seal: "Slave and maid greet Your Majesty." ”
Ramisivani nodded: "We're going to use the tunnels. The old woman nodded and invited them in.
The area was not large, only Ramisivani and Feng Shichang went in with a few escorts, and the other troops were scattered to act as guards.
Feng Shichang said in a low voice: "The master here is your subordinate? ”
"Yes, they have lived in seclusion for generations, and they are only used when the kingdom is in crisis and the tunnels need to be used. As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the house.
There was also an old man in the room, and when the old man saw the old woman coming in with someone, the two looked at each other and nodded to each other, and the old man greeted him directly: "The slave is under His Majesty." ”
Ramisivani said: "Now that Prince Rani is rebelling and has occupied Delhi, we need to enter the city from here and suppress the rebellion. ”
The old man said, "Yes, the tunnel is ready and ready to enter at any time." ”
The old woman walked to the side of the earthen kang in the house, and pressed the mechanism in a hidden corner, and half of the bed slowly sank, revealing a huge tunnel. As soon as Feng Shichang beckoned, the guards company and the special operations team immediately entered the house one after another and walked down from the tunnel entrance, and Ramisivani and Feng Shichang walked into the tunnel entrance with a few guards.
When they all entered the tunnel, the old woman pressed the mechanism again, and the kang immediately returned to its original state, and it became an ordinary farmhouse again, as if the deep tunnel had never existed.
Feng Shichang and Ramiswani walked into the tunnel, and the soldiers immediately took out the military flashlights equipped with the special operations team, and several bright lights illuminated the surrounding environment, Feng Shichang carefully looked at this secret passage of the centuries-old Zhanxi Kingdom.
