Chapter 147: The Pawn Who Crossed the River
Chapter 147: The Pawn Who Crossed the River
On the opposite side of the 19th Division, an assault boat was hidden in the ranks of pirates, looking no different from other assault boats, but it was carrying the three giants of the pirate force.
The Red Devil, with fiery red hair, wears a delicate and eerie metal mask, but he can't hide his graceful style. Beside him was Shuo Lie, a handsome young man, but he commanded the second largest pirate force after the Red Devils in Cape Franment, and around Little Bill's famous flying and domineering, he did not dare to make a mistake in front of them, and he rarely learned to restrain himself.
This ambush of the 19th Division is the masterpiece of the joint efforts of these three giants.
In addition to these three giants, there is another middle-aged man wearing a mask, just standing quietly can give people a gloomy feeling.
"Congratulations, the victory in the first battle is bound to greatly boost the morale of the coordinated troops." The middle-aged man was the first to break the silence, and the coordinated force he spoke of was the pirates who were attacking the vanguard fleet.
The Red Devils ignored it, and looked at the data seriously, there were 2,326 deaths, many of them masters, and in terms of the results achieved, this price is still acceptable. Pirates are different from the regular army, no one wants to come out with them, if they fight with the fleet, it is difficult to ensure that they will not be swallowed up by their counterparts, if they do not reach a consensus with other pirate forces and fight together, she will not touch the 19th Division of the Black Dragon Legion.
"The vanguard fleet is on its way, it's too late to escape, just blow up the refinery in Cadolan, you can let them roll back in the dust, and let the Pop Bear go and shoot the water dogs." Bill couldn't stop getting excited. Despite forming temporary alliances, the pirates still have their own agendas, all hoping to make other forces fight tough battles, and even hope to weaken their allies, and the Red Devils, Shuo Lie, and Bill, form a solid force, relatively speaking, closer to the other two superpowers.
"What's going on at the refinery?" Shuo Lie asked casually.
"There is no way to get in touch with the eyeliner at the moment, but at the beginning of the battle, one of the enemy ships did not join the battle, and took advantage of the chaos to touch the cardolan." The pirates in charge of communications reported the situation in a timely manner.
"Lost contact?" A gleam flashed in Shuo Lie's eyes, and then he said: "It's okay to have a battalion to accompany the burial, it's time to detonate the bomb, and let the rest of the fleet gnaw it." ”
After the two reached an agreement, they looked at the Red Devil in unison, and after a moment, the Red Devil nodded in silence.
Rumble!
The powerful blast wave of the explosion shook the ship.
"What's going on?" Monte on the call was taken aback, thinking that the pirates had launched an attack on the refinery.
"The pirate detonated the bomb." Chen lowered his consciousness and looked out the window, and the explosion kicked up billowing sand and dust and pressed towards the ship.
"Didn't the bomb be defused? Didn't you dismantle it? Monte nervously asked, the battle situation was extremely unfavorable, and the continuous bad news made him a little nervous.
"I dismantled it and put it back on, and put it in a place where it could explode." Chen's answer was very abstract, but Monte still understood that it was a small trick to make the pirates think that they had blown up the refinery in order to delay time.
"Your little trick can't hide from the pirates, and they will be suspicious when they see that the vanguard does not turn back." Monte reminded earnestly.
"It's a while to be able to deceive." Chen Fang's answer was hilarious, but no one in the command room laughed.
"The situation is unfavorable, the 19th Division can't come to support you, the vanguard fleet will take two days to arrive, that is to say, you have to fight alone, the pirates have now decided to blow up the refinery, your tricks can't be hidden for long, once they find out that the refinery has not been blown up, the next two days must be a crazy attack, do you have the confidence to complete the task?" Monte tries to give the young man some courage with a smile.
"I don't think it's that hard." Chen Fang made the bigwigs in the command room cry and laugh, the 19th Division could not withstand the attack of the pirates, and only 300 people wanted to defend the refinery, you know, in the next forty-eight hours, the refinery was the focus of the pirate attack, was this young man stupid, or did not understand the situation, but judging from his previous performance, he was not stupid.
"Tell me, how sure are you holding the refinery?" Monte shook her head.
"Ninety-three percent more." Chen Fang replied casually.
"Uh~" Monte subconsciously looked at the marshal.
"Tell me about your plans." Lu Beiyan replaced Monte, and originally wanted to instruct his son-in-law one or two, since the son-in-law is confident, he might as well listen to it.
"Guarding the refinery, what you want to protect is actually the equipment, you can first dismantle the equipment and find a place to hide. There are mines everywhere, and it's too easy to hide three sets of equipment. Even if no one is sent to protect it, it will take a while for the pirates to find the equipment, and forty-eight hours is far from enough. Cadolan is dotted with mines, large and small, and as far as I know, most of them have hired mercenaries, maybe thousands of them in total, so you might as well recruit them. It is not appropriate to mercenary in the name of the legion, and this matter can be brought forward by old William. Chen Fang replied confidently.
"Haha, very good, the cost of hiring mercenaries is paid by the legion, no matter what method you use, hold on for forty-eight hours, and ensure that these three sets of equipment are intact before the arrival of the vanguard fleet, you are the biggest contributor to this bandit." Hiding the equipment coincides with Lu Beiyan's idea, as for the mercenaries, there is no need to hire them, but for the sake of safety, if you look for it, you will find it.
But it was another surprise, Lu Beiyan had forgotten the relationship between the two, even if this young man was not his son-in-law, he would definitely be appreciated and promoted by him, and the rest of the command room had no objection to this statement at all, no matter how far this war against bandits developed, if there was no Chen Fang, this operation would have ended in failure, and now, the battle is still going on, and all hopes are pinned on him.
"With this pawn who crossed the river, the whole game of chess is alive." Monte was relieved and smiled rarely, judging from the plan, ninety-three percent sure was not boasting, and it was puzzling how the ninety-three percent figure came from. Is it so precise?
"A pawn who crosses the river is no longer a pawn!" Lu Beiyan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, stood up, and quickly turned around the command room twice.
The three sets of equipment were disassembled in less than two hours, and sent to three abandoned mines for storage at night, according to the requirements of the display, the machine was hidden in the depths of the mine, and the collapse was made in the middle of the mine, and the passage was sealed.
At the same time, Old William contacted the mine owner he knew, as the owner of the only refinery in Kadolan, he knew almost all the mine owners, and no one wanted to offend him, he didn't need to play the signboard of the empire, just with his old face, within two hours, he borrowed one hundred and nine mercenary groups.
The so-called borrowing means that there is no need to pay commissions, and it is used in vain~~ Chen Fang can't help but feel sad for the fate of his peers.
When Chen Fang approached the room, old William was still busy, although the military took over the refinery, after all, this is his master's industry, whether he can make a big profit in the next military procurement business, it depends on whether he can keep these three machines, out of loyalty, he must do his best. Unfortunately, two hours is too short, and at least half of the huge list that Old William has in hand has not had time to contact.
Except for the ten minutes of the plot, Li Qing always stayed by Chen Fang's side, and the longer they got along, the more mysterious this man became, and the more her curiosity was aroused.
From the pre-war without premeditation, it was easy to win the commander, Chen Fang began to shine, until now he has turned the tide and become the hope of the legion, in the eyes of others is a difficult desperate situation, but he is free to maneuver, if the Aojia Empire finally wins in this banditry, it is the victory of the second battalion This team of strange soldiers, to be precise, won on this dark horse.
The borrowed mercenaries didn't gather together, and they didn't even have to meet, because there was no need, Chen Fang just asked all the mercenary groups to call the channel, and then simply explained two sentences in the channel, which roughly means that they don't have to guard anything, and they don't have the task of attacking, the only task is to protect themselves and kill the pirates.
Because he is also a mercenary, Chen Fang understands the mercenaries, and it is useless to reluctantly arrange tasks for them, all he gets is that he does not work hard, and there is merit for killing pirates, and the mercenary group does not mind consuming some ammunition and crystal oil. The mercenaries were in small teams, barely bringing these hundreds of people together, and they became a rabble.
"If you hide three machines, you will be invincible, why mercenaries?" Li Qing asked curiously, after all, they are all soldiers, and they are unwilling to use mercenaries unless they have to.
"The people of the second battalion alone, when they meet the core members you said, they must be vulnerable, what if you don't find mercenaries? The pirates may not have imagined that the equipment is hidden in the mines, if they search one by one, it is difficult to ensure that they cannot find clues, and the role of mercenaries is to disrupt the pirates' sight. Chen Fang glanced at the data terminal on his arm.
"Reasonably, your cleverness lies in not leaving any targets for the pirates, in such a situation, they will be constantly attacked by mercenaries, which must be very uncomfortable, once entangled with mercenaries, they will not be able to free up their hands to search for equipment. However, you don't even have to hide the second battalion, do you? Li Qing felt funny when he thought about it, this guy was addicted to hiding, he didn't do it, he didn't stop, and simply stuffed the troops into the mine.
"Well, they learned technology from old William, when the vanguard fleet arrived, these three sets of equipment would be up and running immediately, how could they do without workers?" Although it is an excuse, Chen Fang is justified and well-founded.
After the refinery was vacated, it became a trap, and there was no need to be reminded by Chen Fang, and there were more than a dozen teams of mercenaries who set up an ambush nearby. Chen Fang took Li Qing and the barbarian, changed into civilian clothes and came to Shen Jun's manor, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, if the mercenary group is there, he may also go out to find the bad luck of the pirates, but now, there is only one barbarian by his side, although this guy has a strong physique, he doesn't know if it is useful to drive a mecha.
Before dawn, there was an explosion on the Cado Blue Star, and the artillery fire was not dense and intermittent, indicating that the battle was not fierce, and the casualties were not tragic, which was very in line with the style of the mercenaries.
"Fast enough!" Chen Fang leaned on the sofa leisurely, in Shen Jun's house, just like in his own home, he liked it very much, so he came.
From the place where the 19th Division fought to the refinery, the journey takes at least three hours, and it has only taken three and a half hours for the pirates to detonate the bomb, which means that his little tricks only deceived the pirates for thirty minutes, maybe not, thinking of this, Chen Fang couldn't help but sweat, and other pirates are not stupid.
"When will the meal be served? I am hungry. The barbarian stood in the middle of the living room, shouting angrily, Chen Fang and Li Qing couldn't help but blush, this guy really didn't see the outside.
Shen Jun was also embarrassed when he heard this, entertaining guests and having a sumptuous dinner is inevitable, the diet of the nobles is quite particular, and the cooking time is long, plus Chen Fang and others are suddenly visiting, and there is no preparation in advance, of course, it is slow, but let the guests shout that they are hungry, as the host, it is very shameless.
Having said that, the barbarian's request is not too much, he is not particular about eating, he just needs to be full, of course he is not willing to wait for a long time.
finally waited for the seat, but there was a low roar outside the park, the sound of the ship landing, and the sound of the mecha action, mixed together, breaking the tranquility of the manor.
Judging from the sound, there is at least a large fleet outside, and the vanguard fleet will take more than forty hours to arrive at Cardolan, and at this time, the fleet appears, nine times out of ten it is pirates, they may have to find a place to station, there are not ten thousand but eight thousand similar manors in Cardolan, so they can meet with pirates, Chen Fang had to sigh, his character is really making people want to cry without tears.
Driving the mecha out is looking for death, Chen Xinxin thought quickly, made a decision within ten seconds, no one is allowed to resist, do whatever you have to do, and then calmly threw the goggles into the fireplace.
