Chapter 473 - Reckoning
After a night of manhunting, some people were arrested, and the outcome was naturally predictable.
Although these people are specially trained, there is no 100% guarantee that they will be able to withstand the torture, and it is only a matter of time before the plan is revealed.
It is imperative that the task be pushed forward in every possible way, and that the rest should be taken to the back of this premise.
There were only more than 20 people in the courtyard, looking nervous and tired, and many of them even had injuries on their bodies, and it seemed that it was not easy to survive this night.
Although Li Zongsheng was young, he was in command in this operation, and when he arrived, most of the people clasped their fists and saluted.
He didn't care about any of this, and asked a subordinate next to him, "What about the loss?" ”
The subordinate was a little embarrassed, and then said: "Commander, last night our side lost nearly half, in addition to the dead brothers, several brothers were captured and fell into the hands of the barbarians. ”
Li Zongsheng frowned, he was also expecting this situation, after all, the movement that came out last night was not small.
But fortunately, their identities have not been revealed, and if the barbarians regard it as an ordinary riot, then there is still time for the matter.
He was about to speak, when suddenly a voice came, saying, "Commander Li, this operation has suffered such a huge loss before it has even begun, and you are fully responsible for it!" ”
Li Zongsheng turned his head to look, only to see a middle-aged man with a black face looking at him with an angry face, it was Song Kui, the deputy commander.
With his age and qualifications, he was originally able to ascend to the throne after the previous commander left, but who knew that Li Zongsheng was such a good person, and he climbed on his head at a young age, how could he bear it?
But Li Zongsheng killed the enemy bravely and won the appreciation of the chief, this Song Kui had no choice, he just thought that Li Zongsheng was a man who slipped his beard and snatched his position, and his heart became more and more jealous!
In fact, they did not belong to the ordinary Tang Army, and their main task was to carry out some classified tasks and cooperate with the operations of the large army.
Although this so-called "commander" title sounds very powerful, it is actually not very powerful, and only a few dozen people can lead the task.
However, for Song Kui, this is enough to satisfy him! Because some of the things they did before the battle still had a great impact on the direction of the battle, which even gave the commander more right to speak, in Song Kui's view, this is the capital that can be exchanged for money and status, which is what he desires.
But since Li Zongsheng sat in this position, he didn't want to make some benefits, but he was more diligent in his tasks, so wouldn't he compare himself to himself!
Song Kui thought so, but he became more and more displeased with Li Zongsheng, and the contradiction between the two became deeper and deeper.
Seeing Song Kui's provocation, Li Zongsheng's eyes were cold, and he said, "Song, deputy commander, are you looking for trouble?" ”
He deliberately emphasized the word "deputy", and sure enough, Song Kui exploded when he heard it, and said with a glare: "What did you say!" ”
Li Zongsheng said: "Do you want to offend the chief?" ”
Song Kui sneered: "This time it has caused such a big loss, you still have the life to say this to me again after you go back!" ”
His words were full of ridicule, obviously thinking that Li Zongsheng was really going to finish the fun this time! After all, these people under his hands have also spent a lot of time and energy cultivating, and now they have lost so much, Li Zongsheng can't resist it.
Li Zongsheng's voice grew cold, and he said, "At least now I am still your commander, believe it or not, now I can let you stay here forever!" ”
Feeling Li Zongsheng's cold gaze, Song Kui couldn't help but feel a chill rise in his heart, and he wanted to say something hard, but he couldn't say it after all.
He took a deep breath and comforted himself in his heart that this Li Zongsheng was just a grasshopper after the autumn - he couldn't jump for a few days, so he endured it and didn't speak again.
Li Zongsheng did not continue to deal with him, and as someone was arrested, there was not much time left for everyone, and the matter became more and more urgent.
Today's Li Zongsheng is not the hairy boy he was at the beginning, after joining the army, he really experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and what he learned in the academy was also truly integrated by him, and naturally achieved a lot of results.
Of course, this may not be anything to Li Zongsheng, what he wants is not this, and even he himself does not know what he really wants. It's just that now, he wants to really fight in the battle array, to fight, to change something, to change the former self!
After consolidating the existing situation, Li Zongsheng quickly made arrangements.
Now they are seriously understaffed, if they rush to rescue the arrested brother, they can only throw themselves into the net, and there is a high probability that many traps have been set up in those places, just waiting for them to go!
After last night, the women in the White Cloud Temple began to be transferred, after all, some things can be done secretly, but they will never see the light!
Believe it or not, the barbarian high-level after the capture of Gangneung City still wanted to stabilize the situation in the city and make it a stronghold for the barbarian army's eastward advance. For this reason, some things that are too dark and bloody are not allowed to appear, at least, they cannot be put on the surface.
This is the opportunity for Li Zongsheng and others!
Judging from the information we have heard, the convoy escorting the women will pass by a lively market in the city tomorrow, and as long as the women are exposed in front of the public, then the riots will start and they will be able to act cheaply!
After Li Zongsheng made the arrangement, he brought one of his henchmen into the room in the small courtyard, and then told the confidant the mark agreed between him and Lin Yan, and asked him to inform Lin Yan of the matter here, and wrote a note for the henchman to hand over to Lin Yan.
Although he didn't understand who Li Zongsheng was looking for, and he didn't know what Li Zongsheng was going to do, he still carefully put away the note, and then nodded heavily.
The henchman left the courtyard after he got out, and the rest of the people began to prepare some of the things they would need later.
This is a temporary base that they have arranged a long time ago, and there are a lot of things to prepare, even a little gunpowder, which can come in handy.
Li Zongsheng stayed alone in the room, closing his eyes and recuperating while thinking about what he would do next.
Whether it is exposing the darkness in the street or rescuing their companions, it is only a little trouble for the barbarians, at most it causes some riots, and their real task is to do things after this riot.
Just when everyone was in full swing to prepare, a figure walked alone to a corner of the courtyard, saw that no one noticed, squatted down, shook his robe, a small mouse rushed out of it, and then looked left and right, it was drilled into the hole in the corner, and then disappeared.
The little mouse had a small bamboo tube tied to its back, apparently containing something.
On weekdays, people always like to use pigeons, eagles and other birds to pass on some news and information, so that everyone is very vigilant in this regard, but they ignore the ubiquitous things such as mice.
After doing this, the man calmly turned and blended in with the crowd, as if nothing had happened.
……
Gradually, the search stopped, after all, there were too many such things happening, and those barbarians let their guard down.
In fact, this Baiyun Temple is the secret base of a certain general in the barbarian army, and Li Zongsheng's behavior undoubtedly touched his scales, so he will make things bigger.
But now it seems that the arrested brothers did not recruit anything. Otherwise, the barbarians will only go more crazy about their hunt.
Or perhaps, the barbarians had already known their information from the people who had been arrested, but they were just pretending not to know, in order to suddenly attack them head-on and wipe them all out just when they thought they were in control!
But no matter what, what needs to be done still has to be done, and that's their task. Perhaps, it is also fate, and embarking on this road is always accompanied by death. If you advance, you will live, and if you retreat, you will die!
When a team of carriages drove slowly on the street according to the intelligence, Li Zongsheng and the others were already ambushed on the road they had to pass.
This place is in the middle of the market, and there are many people, but it is convenient for them to hide.
Seeing that the carriage was already approaching, the hands of the people who had been ambushed were already on the blades.
Everyone was waiting for Li Zongsheng's order, but at this time he was a little hesitant. Of course, he wasn't afraid, but he felt that things were a little strange, because it was so smooth!
At this moment, it is common sense to be in the enemy camp, and it is said that things are not going well, but this series of arrangements is like a rehearsed script at this time, and it begins to move forward step by step.
"Could this be a pre-set game?" Ever since this thought appeared, it was spreading like a weed in Li Zongsheng's heart.
It's just that now it's already a tiger, and it's impossible to stop the action at will based on your own guess, which is too child's play!
Moreover, if the set plan is not implemented and repeatedly, Li Zongsheng's prestige will be affected. Although he didn't care about that, it would directly affect the task, which he couldn't accept.
Taking a deep breath, Li Zongsheng made a gesture, and then shot a sharp arrow, and then his subordinates killed, and attacked the Nanban soldiers who escorted the vehicle.
The conflict was about to break out, and in an instant, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the surrounding crowd had long been disturbed by this sudden change, and soon became chaotic.
There are not many soldiers in charge of escorting, and the people led by Li Zongsheng are all good hands, and the escorted soldiers were quickly resolved, but they only injured some people.
When everyone opened the curtain covering the carriage, they were greeted by an unbelievable sight.
Countless arrows flew out, and in an instant some people were shot into hedgehogs, and so were all the wagons.
Li Zongsheng didn't understand that he was being calculated by others at this moment, and just wanted to beckon everyone to retreat, but he found that a large number of sergeants were coming here, and the curtain on the carriage was also lifted, and where were there any women inside, all of them were barbarian soldiers.
In an instant, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Li Zongsheng and others were attacked from inside and outside, but they couldn't escape!
