Chapter 187: Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas and Yellow Sparrows Behind?
……
The moonlit night was quiet, the mountains and forests were silent, and except for the mobilized Bagua Forest army, other beasts inhabiting the Lei Gong Mountains rarely appeared.
The space shook, causing the surrounding leaves and grass to shake, as if a light breeze was blowing. But if you feel it in it, there is no wind blowing.
Soon, a shadow flashed on the hill on the west side of Lei Gongping, and a jade step came out of the shaded woods.
Under the moonlight, a brigade of more than 300 soldiers was waiting on the flat ground, solemnly ready to go.
A lieutenant with a bronze star in epaulettes saw the person coming, and immediately stepped forward to salute, "Deputy Military Commander Zhao, as you expected before, a secret report has just come from Lengtang Mountain, and the people of the Dark Brotherhood have begun to act. ”
"How many people are coming?" Zhao Xiao said quickly.
"There are hundreds of assistant brothers and about five formal brothers." The lieutenant said.
"Oh, no action bro?" Zhao Xiao was a little surprised.
"Well, I didn't see the action brother in the gray-and-white robe."
In the Dark Brotherhood, the most junior brother is the assistant brother, who wears a black robe. The official brother has a higher status than the assistant brother and wears a gray robe. The action brothers, in turn, are higher than the formal brothers, and wear off-white robes.
A person who does not see a white robe does not mean that he does not have one. Zhao Xiao knew in his heart that this group of murderous terrorist rioters were very cunning.
According to the information obtained by the military of Guizhou Province, the members of the Dark Brotherhood who appeared in Shuicheng this time were in charge of an operation brother.
The reason why the military attaches so much importance to it, even at the expense of Shuicheng, is that this action brother has a special identity and is a direct subordinate of the Sovereign Venerable, one of the six Qing Venerables of the Dark Brotherhood.
If the military can catch this action brother, they will be able to grasp more information about the sovereign venerable who has been causing chaos in China.
It is even possible to catch each other along the way. Of course, this is highly unlikely.
"Alright, let's go." Zhao Xiao's heroic posture revealed beauty again, and said resolutely.
More than half of Lei Gongping's troops were mobilized to Lengtang Mountain to ensure the smooth progress of the operation.
Lei Gongping and Lengtang Mountain are both north of Lei Gong Mountain, not far from each other, under the leadership of the Wind System Awakening Division, the army arrived in less than three minutes, and quickly surrounded the black-robed people, preparing to encircle and suppress.
Near the Lengtang Mountain Mine, more than half of the thousands of miners were slaughtered by the Dark Brotherhood. It's not that they haven't resisted, but in front of the assistant brothers who are all intermediate awakened divisions, they are powerless.
Screams and fears rang out all around.
Blood splattered, drenched in sweat, dripping and eye-catching.
In the eyes of every black-robed person, there is only madness and enjoyment, which is no better than the water monster that ravages Water City.
And at the same time as they committed the tragedy, they left behind the same symbol, writing two swords with the blood of the corpse to defend the holy book, so that the world knew who did the tragedy, and they were afraid in their hearts.
For the sake of the so-called holy war, they committed heinous crimes, and did not take human life seriously at all, but said with eloquence that for the reunification of the country, war is necessary, and rivers of blood are indispensable.
Use this as an excuse to give those thugs a justifiable reason to go unpunished.
Corpses, blood, can be seen everywhere near the brightly lit mines.
A thick smell of blood dispersed with the cold wind, making the air a little more heavy and oppressive.
The miners who were still alive were still on the run, desperately fleeing, and they realized that they had been surrounded by black-robed people, and they all chose to burrow into the hole, at least for the time being.
Some of the black-robed people chased into the cave and continued to slaughter the miners, and some of the black-robed people fought against the awakened division guards of the Hoba Yiliao family and the Sanglin family.
Most of the nearly 80 Awakening Division guards of the Hoba Yiliao Family and the Sang Lin Family were junior Awakening Divisions, and only a few were Intermediate Awakening Divisions.
Moreover, the early stage of the Intermediate Awakening Division is the majority.
Compare the two, and make a judgment.
It's almost a one-sided situation.
The guards of the Hoba Yiliao family and the Sanglin family were killed one after another.
Yu Zhennan, who had already killed the red eyes and killed with a hideous and happy face, looked at Yu Zhenxi, "Brother Xi, you can also slaughter a few, it's very enjoyable, happy!" Hahahaha! ”
Yu Zhenxi stood in place, but he didn't expect Yu Zhennan's true face to be the appearance of a devil!
He looked at the slaughter in front of him, his fists clenched, and he forced himself to calm down. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist rushing to save people.
Yu Zhendong and the pervert beside him were stronger than him, and he didn't dare to make a move.
Yu Zhendong looked at Yu Zhenxi, who was stunned, and secretly laughed triumphantly.
Once tonight passes, Yu Zhenxi will not be able to wash even if he jumps into the Yellow River, and he will be forced to be pulled onto his and Yu Zhennan's boat.
No one spares their lives, and he believes that Yu Zhenxi will make a wise choice.
On the other side, Ping An watched his defeat to the black-robed man retreating, and hurriedly said to Sheng Qiao on the side: "Sheng Qiao, I'm here to meet, you go and see if the little lady has left." ”
"Okay." Without hesitation, Katsujo retreated and quickly ran back to the largest stilted building.
At this time, in the hall of the stilted building, all the non-combat-fighting principals of the two families were all sent away by Ouyang Qianyu from the secret passage, and she was the only one left.
Sheng Qiao rushed in, looked at Ouyang Qianyu who was the only one on the main seat in the empty hall, and said anxiously: "Little Miss, you run away!" ”
The current situation was completely beyond the ability of him, a mid-level mid-level awakened master, to deal with. The screams were approaching the stilted building, indicating that the black-robed man was about to fight.
Once the black-robed man comes in, he won't be able to leave if he wants to.
"No, I'm not leaving." Ouyang Qianyu said stubbornly. Half a year ago, all the guards desperately resisted to let her escape once, and this time she didn't want to run again.
And the water city may be gone, the home is gone, where else can she escape?
"Sheng Qiao, why don't you leave with the little lady?" Ping An, who rushed in with blood, hurriedly said.
The situation is urgent, and the black-robed man is about to come in. Ping An knew the difference in strength between the two sides, and he couldn't escape at all, so he only hoped that he could buy more time and let Ouyang Qianyu escape.
"I persuaded it, but the little lady refused to leave." Sheng Qiao said helplessly.
"Katsujo." Peace eyes know. Extraordinary times should be carried out by extraordinary means.
"Okay." Sheng Qiao understood the meaning of peace, inhaled deeply, and couldn't care so much, and walked quickly towards Ouyang Qianyu, ready to forcibly take her away.
"Sheng Qiao, what are you going to do?" Ouyang Qianyu suddenly felt that Sheng Qiao was a little scary, and his body shrank.
"Little Miss, I'm sorry." After Sheng Qiao finished speaking, his hand was like a machete, ready to stun Ouyang Qianyu.
At this moment, an even more violent attack sounded outside.
Rumble!
The stilted buildings were all trembling by this powerful wave of attacks. The teacups on the table were also shaking.
"What's going on?" This kind of power, Ping An and Sheng Qiao, when he fought against the black-robed man just now, had never felt it.
A guard hurriedly ran in, panting and saying, "Captain Ping'an, Deputy Captain Shengqiao, there is an army, and an army has come to save us." ”
The three of them were pleasantly surprised.
Especially Heian and Katsuki.
The powerful attack just now should have been unleashed by the army.
When they fought with the black-robed man just now, the other party didn't have such a powerful attack, otherwise they would have died a long time ago.
Outside the stilted building, Zhao Xiao led more than 100 people to suddenly fall from the sky, catching the black-robed man by surprise.
"No, it can't be, how can there be an army here??" Yu Zhendong was incredulous.
He looked suspiciously to his right, trying to ask the official brother Sparrow who had made the plan, only to be surprised to find that there was no one around him.
He immediately looked sideways at the pervert beside him, "Pervert, where are the sparrows?" ”
"Isn't that what the sparrow is." The pervert tilted his head, equally surprised. The brothers who were still standing together just now said that they were gone.
When the plan was first made, Sparrow was introduced to the Guild by a pervert. Although the Sparrow's strength is not very good, he has a smart mind, and was directly promoted to an official brother by exception, and as the main planner of this action plan.
After several months of careful planning, this plan should be foolproof. Why are there still soldiers coming?
Could it be that Sparrow is a member of the military?
Yu Zhendong became suspicious.
The pervert, however, knew the sparrow and thought it was absolutely impossible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have introduced the sparrows in.
But now they are not allowed to think about it, the brothers in the church have been completely suppressed by the army, and the army has collapsed.
Yu Zhendong was shocked.
The strength of these soldiers is at the lowest level of the mid-level late awakening division, which is higher than the acting brothers, and any one of them is placed in the Shuicheng army, at least it is the existence of the epaulette brass star.
Obviously it can't be the army of Watertown.
Yu Zhendong knew that tonight's plan had failed, and there was only the thought of escaping in his heart.
The pervert also saw that among these soldiers, there were not a few mid-level consummate awakened divisions of the same level as him.
What a!
The pervert did not hesitate, turned around and fled. Bullshit brother, his life is gone, and the so-called brother has a fart.
Yu Zhennan, who killed the red eye, also found that these soldiers were beyond his control, so he quickly retreated to Yu Zhendong's side, "Brother Dong, what should we do now?" ”
"Let's withdraw." Yu Zhendong said quickly.
They must not be exposed, otherwise the consequences will be severe.
Yu Zhenxi followed Yu Zhendong and Yu Zhennan and fled. However, his mood was different from that of his two older brothers, more of a blessing than a panic.
When the army comes, those innocent are saved.
The black-robed people saw that the official brothers had run away, and they couldn't beat the people in the army, and there were brothers around them who kept falling, and one by one they had no intention of fighting, and they fled in all directions.
Killing is a pleasure, but being killed is not a pleasure.
It is advisable to chase after the poor. The soldiers divided into small teams in an orderly manner and continued to hunt down the black-robed men of the Brotherhood.
Zhao Xiao stood in place, frowning a little. The situation was not quite what she thought.
Judging from the strength of these black-robed people, they are all mid-level early or mid-stage Awakening Divisions, and they are all surrogate brothers, and there is no doubt that there are no action brothers mixed in at all.
She couldn't figure it out. Since the other party has decided to seize the mine, why not go all out?
The original idea of the praying mantis catching the cicada yellow finch is behind, is she really a yellow finch?
Zhao Xiao felt that he was missing something.
