Chapter 122: The Light of the Green Fox Hutong
"Who am I, does it matter?"
Looking at the vigilance on Dian Yong's face, Hu Tongguang said lightly: "As long as the general is clear, it is enough for us to have a common enemy." I can take charge of the two of you, as long as your rebels can continue to fight against the Empire, my side will continue to provide more support, including intelligence support. â
"...... from the south Common enemy...... You are! â
Dian Yong's eyes shrank sharply, he probably knew the origin of this person.
"This kind of license plate is a token of our future contact. If the general sees someone coming to the door with this token, it is my men. In addition, the remaining forty-nine crossbows and matching arrows will be delivered to the general's camp at noon tomorrow. With the wisdom of the general, he must have understood the meaning of the phrase "cooperation is mutually beneficial", and there should be no thoughts that should not arise. â
After saying it without warning, he took a few steps back, put back on the hat he was carrying, and turned and walked out of the room.
"General Tiangong?"
Dian Yong called Chen Wu lightly and cast an inquiring look.
Unlike Chen Wu, a player who has crossed over, Dian Yong is a native of this world. Although he rebelled with Chen Wu, it was one thing to fight against the Qianyuan Empire, and it was another to collude with the Omani Dynasty. With his intelligence, of course, he knew that the other party's funding was ill-intentioned, and he wanted to use the rebel army to disrupt and weaken the strength of the empire, so as to take advantage of the fire to loot.
Because of this, he can't achieve a detached attitude, and he is subconsciously a little resistant to cooperation.
"Don't rush!"
Chen Wu stretched out his hand and pressed Dian Yong, signaling him to be calm.
Not long after recognizing Hutongguang's identity, Chen Wu had already figured out how to treat this cunning green fox.
Unlike Xu Maodian and Xiang Hua who had let go before, this time, he made up his mind to kill.
If his Taiping rebels want to achieve great things, sooner or later they will not be able to bypass the Omani Dynasty. Able to take out a core figure of the opposing intelligence agency in advance. This opportunity is undoubtedly rare. As for the price to be paid for this, it is nothing more than a bad relationship with the Omani dynasty and no so-called "follow-up assistance" from the other side. But when you think about it, the price is not as high as you think.
Taiping County was the hinterland of the empire, and the Omani Dynasty was beyond the reach of the whip, and the actual assistance it could give was limited. From Chen Wu's side, he occupied Longshan City for more than a month. The other party came to the door in a hurry, which is enough to show this.
What's more, if the hands and feet are neat and the people of Hutongguang are wiped out, the Oman Dynasty may not suspect them.
How could a gang of mud-legged rebels easily take out their intelligence elite? The men of the Black Guard will first point their suspicions at the Empire's military intelligence agency.
These two sides are opponents of the same level!
Once you've decided that you want to kill, the remaining question is how to kill.
It is certainly easy to kill it here, but Hutongguang's accomplices will definitely run away. The batch of powerful crossbows he brought will inevitably be transported away with them. Or simply destroy it on the spot. The reason why Chen Wu didn't do it immediately was that he wanted to put a long-term line and wipe out the group of people who had infiltrated Longshan Mansion from Hutongguang.
"Gan Xing!"
Chen Wu greeted.
Soon, the director of the military intelligence department walked out from the side and said respectfully: "General Hui, I have already sent someone to follow you according to your previous instructions." â
"Well done!" Chen Wu first encouraged, and then admonished: "According to my inference." The other party should be the elite of the Omani Dynasty's black-clothed guards, very cunning. It's nothing that our people were found out by him. I'm afraid that it will be bad if he finds a chance to get rid of it. â
"General rest assured." Gan Xing assured: "The other party is obviously a foreigner and is not familiar with Longshan City. If he came to the gate during the day and there were many people in the city, he could still find a chance to escape. It's night, and there's hardly anyone else on the street except for our patrolling rebels. He's not that easy to get rid of. â
Since Gan Xing said this, he should be very sure, but Chen Wu was still a little unsteady in his heart.
After all, the Black Guards are old intelligence agencies, which have been established for decades, and the Green Fox is one of the best. After all, Ganxing's MI was newly built. It's okay to deal with ordinary enemies, but if you want to track down an opponent of this level, I'm afraid that you still lack a little heat.
Fortunately, Gan Xing is right about one thing, this is Longshan, the territory of the rebels!
In addition, Chen Wu has one of the biggest advantages.
Qinghu Hutongguang, I would never have imagined that I would know his details, and even desperately not want the follow-up assistance of the Oman Dynasty, but also to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!
Although out of professional habits, he will still take precautions, and let himself be in a safe position to retreat at any time, but with such a mentality, the possibility of Chen Wu's surprise attack will be greatly increased.
"There are probably other accomplices in our vicinity who are watching, and there should be no abnormal behavior in all aspects, so as not to startle the snake. When your people have determined where they are hiding, let's make a makeshift assembly and take each other by surprise - this time, as long as the horse team is dispatched! â
Only the speed of the horse team can make the opponent too late to warn or escape even if he finds that something is wrong.
âŚâŚâŚ
Nancheng District, the alley of the fish market.
This is the largest market in Longshan City, with a mix of people from three religions and nine streams, and it is only less than a mile away from the south gate. Not only is it easy to hide, but it's also easily accessible and easy to get out of town.
Hutong Light chose a foothold for himself, which is at an intersection in the alley of the fish market.
Quietly glancing back with his peripheral vision, Hutongguang whispered a code word, and was able to enter this small shop that was responsible for selling dry goods on weekdays.
Some of his subordinates were already guarding behind the door, helping him get a hat and a square scarf, and someone handed him herbal tea.
"How?"
The adjutant who came with Hutongguang looked out of the window and asked about the results of the trip. However, it seems that he has a lot of confidence in Hutongguang, or he doesn't think that the Taiping Righteous Army will refuse at all.
"It's a little more capable than I thought." Hu Tongguang said his impression of Chen Wu, and then said: "In a short period of time, when I came out, I had already arranged for someone to follow me, which is rare." â
"Oh?" The adjutant was visibly curious and asked, "How?" â
Hutongguang has been with his adjutant for a long time, although the other party's question is a bit clueless, but he immediately understood what he was referring to, and chuckled: "The fire is far away, and at first glance it is a layman." But after all, it is someone's home field, and he is not afraid of being discovered at all, so he chases after him openly. Really, if I didn't think this group of rebels had some skills and could help, I really wanted to get rid of those tails! â
"Why not let them know." The adjutant looked a little disapproving: "A group of rebels who don't think about themselves, when they learn our identity, it's too late to stammer, how dare they offend?" What's more, we have already arranged people outside their camp, and the slightest disturbance can't hide from our eyes. â
"That being said, it's better to be cautious."
Hu Tongguang thought for a moment and ordered: "The people of the Good Friends Association and the Righteous Army have been contacted, and the mission of this trip has been successfully completed." You ask your subordinates to prepare, and we will leave as soon as the south gate opens. For the matter of sending crossbow arrows, just leave two guys here. â
Both guys are locals and the periphery of the periphery, and know almost nothing about the real secrets.
Even if the Taiping Army and the Good Friends Society really had any ideas, they couldn't get anything from them.
The first half of the night passed peacefully.
Hutongguang's adjutant and several entourages have been vigilant, but they are calm. There was no movement in the entire fish market, and there was no warning signal from the sentry posts planted outside the Rebels and the Good Friends. Seeing that the third watch day had passed, by this time, Hutongguang also felt that he was a little too careful, and couldn't help but smile dumbly.
After all, it's just a bunch of anti-thieves, and it's not a competition with the old fritters of Emperor Qianyuan's ** Intelligence Bureau.
However, what Hutongguang didn't know was that behind the seemingly calm situation, a large net had slowly opened. Although there was no change on the surface of the camp of the rebels, on the side of the horse team, a full fifty riders with excellent riding skills and no night blindness were assembled and ready to go in the barracks.
Among them, including the thirteen horsemen of Yanxing, who has only recently taken refuge!
Because the target was likely to have a large number of crossbows in their hands, Chen Wu gave them an order that everyone should wear double armor. But even so, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to block the shot of the crossbow bolts at close range. can only do their best and obey the destiny of heaven.
"Listen, the goal of this trip is cunning and ruthless. It's best to catch it alive, and if not, make sure the kill is the top priority! â
Surrounded by the pro-guards and the general Dian Yong, Chen Wu, who was wearing chain mail, whispered a pre-war instruction.
He had planned to personally participate in this attack, but in the end he was stopped by the guards. After all, the opponent has a large number of crossbows, and it is at the level of Qinghu Hutongguang, so it is impossible to say what will happen in the dark. As the leader of the rebel army, he cannot afford to lose his safety at this time.
In the end, it was Dian Yong who personally led the team and took the lead and rushed to the fish market in Nancheng.
Yan Dongxing and his thirteen horsemen followed closely behind, and their superb equestrian skills allowed them to control the war horses with ease even in the dark night.
The sound of the hooves of fifty war horses was still loud at night. In addition, everyone was holding torches, and almost this horse team had just left the barracks, and the people who were planted in the alley alone found the abnormality.
Having judged the direction of the cavalry, the sentry was shocked and immediately wanted to rush back to report the news.
However, it's too late!
For most of the night, Chen Wu did not move, just to paralyze the monitors who might be in zĂ i. Now the horse team suddenly set off and directly hit the sentry by surprise!
This was the first time that the rebels had occupied the city for so long, and this was the first time that such a large-scale night operation had been conducted.
The sound of horses' hooves made the residents passing by the streets very uneasy, knowing that most of them had happened. There were also children who were awakened and cried, but were immediately covered by adults.
No one dared to come out to see the excitement at this time, and everyone closed the courtyard door tightly, listening to the movement outside with fear, for fear of accidentally getting killed. (To be continued......)
