Chapter 143: Temptation
Su An finally accepted Xu Pingfeng's apology and did not plan to pursue anything further.
Not long after the meeting between the two men, a helicopter gunship and two transport gunships landed outside the town of Umeng.
Chief of Staff Zhang arrived with two confidential secretaries and more than 100 soldier-level guards.
Su An, Zhang Yuying, Zheng Nanzhi, Xu Pingfeng, Xu Chengzhi and others came to greet them outside the town.
To Su An's expectations, the chief of staff from the division headquarters of the capital division was very polite, did not put on a show of officialdom, and did not hide his appreciation for him in his speech.
"The situation is urgent, let's gossip."
While walking towards the town, Chief of Staff Zhang went straight to the point, "I came here this time on the orders of the front-line commander, Division Commander Guo, to guard Wumeng Town with you.
"Sect Master Su, the demon reinforcements may come back at any time, I need your people to cooperate, and the soldiers I brought with me will be jointly deployed, especially to set up a sentry outside the city."
Su An admired Chief of Staff Zhang's resolute and resolute attitude towards things, and immediately nodded in agreement.
The transcendents of the Anxia Sect and the Southern Yan Sect, although they were in a state of healing and resting, he did not forget to arrange a sentry, and Chen Xingyun took people to the hills in the northwest early.
If there are demon reinforcements or extraordinary combat power to counterattack the town, then in the process of their approach, Su An can get the news and can respond in time.
Hearing Su An say his arrangement, Chief of Staff Zhang nodded his head again and again in approval: "Sect Master Su is cautious and thoughtful, no wonder he can recover Wumeng Town." ”
"It should." Su An called Zhang Yunjun over and asked him to take Chief of Staff Zhang's men to set up defenses.
As soon as everyone entered the town, two armed transport planes arrived in Wumeng Town, and the people who came down were also warrior-level elites, and the number was about the same as that brought by Staff Officer Zhang.
"The Third Brigade is not slow to move." Hearing the movement, Chief of Staff Zhang looked back and observed for a moment, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
It was the vanguard of the 3rd Brigade of the Metropolitan Division who came.
With more than two hundred soldiers coming over at once, the garrison strength of Wumeng Town suddenly became sufficient, at least there was no need to worry about the ordinary demon transcendent team coming back.
After hearing that Chief of Staff Zhang had arrived, the officers of the 3rd Brigade hurriedly chased into the town, reported their operational mission to the former, and asked if the other party had any instructions.
"This is the Sect Master of Anxia Zongsu, and your people will cooperate with them in deploying defenses." In the face of his own subordinates, Chief of Staff Zhang seemed to be very official, and his words were calm and powerful.
The people of the Third Brigade still didn't know Guo Huai'an's attitude towards Su An, and when they heard Chief of Staff Zhang's words at this moment, they couldn't help but glance at Su An in surprise, and they had a bottom on how to get along with the other party's people.
The soldiers of the front foot division headquarters and the soldiers of the rear foot brigade headquarters came so much and so quickly, and they were followed by the third brigade that would come soon, which simply subverted Su An's inherent impression of Du Si:
Shouldn't these guys be like Xu Chengzhi and Xu Pingfeng, with loose military discipline and weak combat effectiveness, and only know how to share military merits and compete for power and profit?
How did you suddenly become elite?
Prior to this, Su An had always felt that the capital division could be powerful in various cities and places, entirely because the social sects and folk transcendents were constantly going to the land of chaos to carry out missions and fight demons.
But the scene in front of him made Su An realize that although Dusi was corrupt and corrupt, he still had the appearance of a regular army, and it was not useless.
After entering the town and sitting down at the regimental headquarters of the previous demon army, Staff Officer Zhang asked everyone to retreat after a few simple words, leaving only Su An to speak in the room.
"Sect Master Su, it's still the same sentence, the situation is urgent, let's not beat around the bush.
"This time, in addition to sitting on the front line and commanding the army to rebuild the defense line, I also have to complete an important mission assigned by Division Commander Guo, which requires your cooperation."
Chief of Staff Zhang Zhengse said, "Senior Commander Guo and I are very curious to know, how Sect Master Su can annihilate a reinforced regiment of the demon army in one day with only one three-star sect, and capture the fortress town heavily defended by the opponent, and successfully recover the lost territory?"
"Sect Master Su must explain what happened in detail."
Su An fell into a deep groan and did not answer immediately, during which he glanced at Chief of Staff Zhang several times.
Chief of Staff Zhang seemed to be sure that Su An had concerns, and smiled gently to encourage:
"Division Commander Guo is upright, he can't rub sand in his eyes, he has been suspended from his post to recuperate, and tonight is the emergency officer who will be reinstated and take over the command of the front, which can be described as being ordered in danger.
"Before I came, Senior Commander Guo said that it should be Sect Master Su's military merits, and no one can take away a point."
His words were simple, but they contained a lot of information, which required Su An to guess on his own. He can talk about this, it is already very obvious, and the meaning of mentioning it is not disguised.
In fact, on the way here, Chief of Staff Zhang didn't plan to be so close to Su An.
Although he received Guo Huai'an's order, it was enough to be able to do official business, and there was no need to give such an obvious hint when Su An hesitated.
But when he arrived in Wumeng Town, he had seen the strength of Anxiazong's soldiers, and experienced the attitude of Zhang Yuying and Zheng Nanzhi, the two seventh-level sect masters, towards Su An, and Chief of Staff Zhang realized that Su An was not a simple person, and Anxia Sect was not an ordinary sect.
Such Su An and An Xia Sect have the value of friendship, and they are qualified to let him release goodwill.
Therefore, Chief of Staff Zhang decided to sell Su An a favor and gently help the other party.
"Thank you Chief of Staff Zhang and Division Commander Guo for your care." Su An thanked him first, and then began to tell the details of the battle.
The brief silence he had just had was a tentative thought.
Since meeting with Chief of Staff Zhang, the other party has behaved very kindly, and it has become more and more friendly, with this foundation, Su An can try to find more information from Chief of Staff Zhang.
If the other party has a cold face and doesn't have a good impression of him, then he can't test anything at all, and he doesn't have to work in vain.
What Su An wants to test is not the attitude of the top management of the capital division towards him or his military exploits, which is completely unnecessary.
Because before Staff Officer Zhang came, he had already solved this problem.
What Su An wanted to know was the internal information of the capital division.
He had to figure out why Dusi had played so badly before, but tonight he suddenly changed his appearance. With the vigorous and orderly elite quality that Du Si showed tonight, he should not have been defeated so badly before.
The answer to this question is important.
It is related to the subsequent development of this war and affects the decision of Anxia Sect to advance and retreat.
If Dusi can maintain this appearance tonight, then the battle will definitely be smoother and smoother, and Su An can continue to participate in the war with An Xiazong and seek more military merits;
If this appearance cannot be maintained, then Su An will never dare to fight side by side with the selfish Dusi army who always flees from the battle for a long time, but he will leave immediately whenever he has the opportunity.
Regardless, pig teammates are more terrifying than strong enemies.
Chief of Staff Zhang's answer gave Su An an answer.
The key is in one person.
Chief of Staff Zhang and the officers of the Third Brigade have been talking about this person, and their thunderous operation tonight is because of this person's order.
Commander Guo.
A figure who had previously been suspended, but was reinstated tonight, and was ordered to take command of the front line in a critical situation.
The answer is obvious.
It was precisely because of the arrival of the other party that the appearance of the capital division suddenly changed greatly, not only did his actions become swift and powerful, but even the spirit of the officers changed.
It can be seen that this person is very unusual, and he is simply a fairy-like existence!
Su An reasonably speculated: This commander urgently appointed by the capital division has extraordinary ability and prestige, as long as he is still here, the capital division will not be the same as before, and An Xiazong can continue to participate in the war!
Of course, this is only preliminary speculation.
Su An will further probe the information of the other party from Chief of Staff Zhang and Wang Zhe in the future, and find out the history, achievements, wind evaluations and so on of the other party.
"I see."
After listening to Su An's account of the war, Chief of Staff Zhang suddenly realized, "Master Guo and I have always felt strange, how can a three-star sect take down Wumeng Town.
"Now that I heard Sect Master Su say this, everything is reasonable.
"You have the combat power that is not weaker than the four-star sect, and you took advantage of the opponent's division of troops to eat the opponent's two battalions first, and finally disguised yourself as a defeated soldier and deceived into the town, so that the fortress attribute of Wumeng Town was not brought into play at all.
"Strength, resourcefulness, and luck are all three, no wonder you can make such a miraculous feat."
At the end, Chief of Staff Zhang sighed sincerely: "Sure enough, extraordinary achievements must be made at extraordinary times, and they are established by extraordinary people!" ”
After saying this, Chief of Staff Zhang suddenly fell silent.
He was keenly aware of a problem.
What about the Sword of Dawn?
The location of Umon Town is so important, why didn't the Sword of Dawn appear from beginning to end? There are so many masters of the Sword of Dawn that it is impossible not to see Wumeng Town, and as long as they appear, there is no possibility that Anxia Sect will not be completely annihilated!
But I didn't see the shadow of the other party the whole time.
This is so abnormal!
What the hell is going on?
......
The wilderness under the bright sea of stars is endless, and a team of black-clothed powerhouses with swords and swords are quietly and silently hurrying in the clear light.
They looked rather embarrassed, many of them supporting each other, and blood stains were faintly visible on their robes.
Compared with everyone's faltering, the old and the young led by the group walked quite steadily, but the gray-haired old man kept covering his lower abdomen, and the girl with a double ponytail was always frowning.
"Nangong Buqi, Song Jiao, where did these two guys come from, I have never heard of their deeds before. is clearly a little-known little person, and his combat power is so strong! ”
The girl sighed angrily, "On the information sent back from Yan Guo, these two people have not been mentioned, aren't they the official transcendents of Jizhou City?" ”
The pale-faced black-robed old man was silent for a moment, "The world is so big, there are countless strange people, not all the land in Lingdong is dominated by the Yan Kingdom, and other forces should not be underestimated. ”
The girl tilted her head to look at the old man: "Kuroshio? Church? Rebels? Dark Web? But why did they help Dusi fight, and why did they have to get along with us? It's not good for them, is it? ”
The black-robed old man was speechless for a long time.
When it was over, he slowly raised his head, his eyes were vicissitudes and profound: "The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit."
"But there are always some people who are not driven by interests."
He seemed to think of something, and a look of remembrance appeared in his eyes, and with the wave of memories emerged an indescribable sense of awe.
"Not for profit, is it for ideals and righteousness?" The girl's eyes were faintly bright, rotten like stars.
The old man didn't say anything more.
And the girl has already thought of a certain past event that was sealed in the dust of history, as well as some heroes who were deliberately covered up under the wheel of history, and she was speechless for a while.
......
Hill.
Nangong, who was ragged, with a blue nose and swollen face, stood stubbornly against the wind, as if his body was not covered with large and small wounds, and his standing posture was as straight as a thousand-year-old pine.
He looks at the infinite ahead, looking at the endless wilderness, like the backbone of the world standing up to the sky, a generation of heroes who would rather bend than bend, the momentum is like an abyss, and he can withstand it, as if he can withstand it when the sky falls.
"Your wound is still the force of the demon clan, and it can't heal on its own, if you don't sit down and breathe, the blood will run dry."
The snow-white long sword stood at his side, and the red-haired woman who was sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly spoke, her voice was as cold as a spring in a mountain stream, and her eyebrows and eyes were as calm as a waveless ancient well.
"Oh!"
Nangong Buqi, who was immersed in his peerless temperament and couldn't extricate himself, responded unsatisfied, ran down from the top of the mountain, and meditated near Song Jiao.
After holding back for a long time, Nangong Buqi's eyebrows danced, and his interest did not diminish:
"Senior sister, let's defeat the Holy Envoy this time and force back the Sword of Dawn, how can it be considered a great achievement, right? Don't go back and make a big splash, so that everyone knows our heroic posture? If we can let Master write a book for us, wouldn't it be a saint in front of people? ”
"Shut up."
"Senior Sister ......"
"Pranayama!"
"Oh."
