Chapter Seventy-Three: The Slave Legion Rebellion
After a three-month journey, the mighty procession passed through twelve provinces, leaving the hinterland of Zhao and entering a dense forest.
At midnight, the stars in the sky sprinkled with starlight, and torches were erected around the camp, illuminating a large area, and dozens of patrol squads patrolled in their respective jurisdictions.
In a slightly dilapidated big tent, more than ten big men wearing the uniforms of the captains of the Zhao State army sat on both sides of the big tent, and Wang Xu, who was wearing the armor of the generals of Zhao State, sat quietly on the main seat, and glanced at the more than ten big men below with sharp eyes and said: "Everyone, do you know how many gold coins are on the carriage of the second prince?" ”
"General Hui, my subordinates don't know!"
More than a dozen big men in the big tent glanced at each other and responded in unison.
"You don't know, then I'll tell you that the second prince's carriage is loaded with a full two million imperial gold coins, as well as various materials worth five million gold coins!
If the gold coins and wealth on the second prince's carriage are distributed among us, each of us can get more than 100,000 imperial gold coins and materials worth more than 300,000 imperial gold coins! Enough for me to live in the luxury of high society! Wang Xu said loudly with excitement on his face.
"General, the second prince will not share his wealth with us!" Wang Xu's excited look made the hearts of more than ten big men in the big tent move, a trace of hesitation flashed in their eyes, and they couldn't help but say loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the second prince tried to rape the marshal's daughter, and was stripped of his heir status by His Majesty the King, and exiled to Greenland, and never set foot in the royal capital! It is no exaggeration to say that the second prince is finished, and instead of letting the second prince give his wealth to the robbers of Greenland, it is better to share it with us! Wang Xu said loudly with a greedy face.
"General, although the second prince has been exiled, His Majesty still favors him, otherwise, it would be impossible for him to go to Greenland Island with a large amount of wealth and guards! If something happens to the second prince, we can't bear the wrath of His Majesty the King at all! A big man wearing the uniform of the captain of the Zhao army said with a look of hesitation.
"Everyone, after we have hundreds of thousands of imperial gold coins, do we still need to continue to work for Zhao Guo? We can completely change our name and surname, go to the country of Qi to be a rich man, and live a luxurious life in high society! Wang Xu said excitedly.
"The general is right, we are just the leader of the slave legion, we will not receive any attention at all in the territory of Zhao State, and there is no hope of promotion, rather than suffering in Zhao State, it is better to earn a batch of wealth and enjoy it in Qi State!" More than ten big men wearing the uniforms of the Zhao State army pondered for a moment before responding loudly.
"Excellent! Now is a good time for a night attack, you immediately lead the army under your command to attack the second prince's guards, and I will personally lead the elite under your command to directly attack the second prince's big tent! After getting the approval of the generals under his command, Wang Xu ordered loudly with an excited face.
A quarter of an hour later, more than a dozen big men wearing the uniforms of the captains of the Zhao army, each with a team of 1,000 people under their command, launched a fierce attack on the station of Zhao Hu's escort.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The rebellion of the Slave Legion was immediately discovered by the patrol, and a terrible alarm whistle was sounded.
The terrible siren whistle resounded in the night sky, and the three thousand guards who were sleeping woke up from their dreams one after another, and some of them ran directly naked, shouting in horror while running out of the military tent;
Some of them cursed loudly, while quickly putting on their armor, picking up their weapons by the bedside, and running towards the outside of the tent, while others stood in place, trembling and not knowing what to do.
In a matter of moments, more than a dozen captains of the slave legion, with their own thousand-man teams, easily killed the resisting patrols, and went straight to the guards' tents, launching a fierce attack on the guards who were disheveled and in chaos.
Suddenly, only one slave soldier was seen, howling excitedly, brandishing a shabby weapon, and launching a ferocious attack on the disheveled and disorganized guards.
And those well-equipped guards seemed to be frightened stupid, and they were ruthlessly killed without even showing a single point, and more guards collapsed directly under the death fright of their companions, let out a terrified roar, threw away their armor, and fled into the distance.
"What a bunch of flowers in a greenhouse, a waste of such good equipment!" A captain dressed in a slave legion, casually picked up a piece of fine armor, looked at the vulnerable and embarrassed guards with a look of contempt, and mocked loudly.
"How's the situation out there? Is there anything wrong with the young master? Wang Ming, who was dressed in a black satin butler uniform, glanced at the more than 100 Wang family members who had urgently assembled in front of him, and asked loudly to Wang Yang on the side.
"Dad, the young master's big tent is located in the center, and it has not been affected by the rebels for the time being! However, the guards outside have collapsed, and the slave rebels are heading in the direction of the young master's tent! Wang Yang replied with an anxious face.
"The young master is in danger, let's hurry up and rescue the young master!" As soon as Wang Yang's voice fell, Wang Ming's expression changed, he roared angrily, and took the lead in galloping in the direction of Yang Feng's big tent.
"Young master, the slave legion has mutinied, and the escort has collapsed, let's escort you to escape!" Two big men wearing the uniforms of the captain of Zhao Guozhong, with two hundred-person escorts, quickly rushed to Yang Feng's big tent and shouted loudly.
"Calm down! Calm! Don't panic, be calm, be calm, you know? Seeing the anxious expressions of the two squadron leaders of the escort team, Yang Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he scolded loudly with a calm expression.
Seeing the calm look on Yang Feng's face and the appearance of not taking the slave army in his eyes, the two anxious squadron leaders of the escort team were relieved in their hearts, and secretly scolded themselves for being in the army for more than 20 years, and they were not even as good as the second prince who had never been on the battlefield, so they slowly calmed down, and reported the situation outside to Yang Feng in detail.
"So, the three thousand escort team, except for the squadron led by the two of you, the other team formations are scattered?" Yang Feng asked with a calm face.
"Yes, young master! If the brothers outside hadn't broken up, we wouldn't have wanted to escape with the young master, but would have fended off the rebels' attack with our brothers! The two squadron leaders replied without the slightest hesitation.
"What's your two names?" Yang Feng looked at the two of them with a look of appreciation.
"Back to the young master! My name is Sun Bing (Li Ming). The two squadron leaders glanced at each other and replied with a respectful expression.
"You guys are very nice! I remember you two! Yang Feng nodded lightly.
"Capture the second prince alive and reward 10,000 gold coins! Kill the second prince and reward 100,000 gold coins! ”
"The convoy has collapsed, brothers kill with me!"
"If you want to get rich, let me rush!"
“、、、、”
A roar of excitement came from afar, and a slave soldier wearing shabby armor and holding a shabby weapon let out a howl of excitement, opened a pair of blood-red greedy eyes, and rushed towards Yang Feng's big tent with vigorous steps.
