Chapter 157: Darkness Chen Cang
Late the next night, everything was silent.
There was a crowd of people outside the south city gate, and 15,000 black-armored soldiers lined up neatly, ready to go.
Unlike in the past, this time they are not only equipped with new firearms, but also have a new look on their outfits.
In addition to the dry food and drinking water that they had to bring, their backs were also bundled with weeds and straws that could be found everywhere outside the city, and their cheeks were painted in camouflage with various paints.
"Slaughter three thousand!" Wen Chen was dressed in civilian clothes, holding a map in his hand and commanded.
"The last general!"
"You take the brothers of the battalion to follow the caravan forward, but the distance must not be less than two hundred zhang, and you will follow the orders of this king!"
"No!"
"Pei Zhi!"
"Humble duty!"
"You divide the Black Armor Army into four teams, set off again after an hour, slow down the march as much as possible, every time you see two green fireworks in the sky, you will quickly march five miles towards Lucheng, and you must try to hide your whereabouts as much as possible!"
"Humble command!"
They must take advantage of the four hours of darkness to reach the border of Southern Qi as soon as possible.
In order to make the enemy relax their vigilance when passing through the checkpoint, Wen Chen deliberately used himself as a bait and personally led the team to escort Liuli, while the guard battalion that followed behind was responsible for secretly attacking the enemy troops at the checkpoint.
Because she couldn't worry about this prospective brother-in-law, Yu Miaoling also disguised herself and mixed in the escort caravan like many sergeants.
After a night's march, about two and a half hours, the caravan soon marched near the border between the two countries.
Wen Chen rode a white horse and walked in front with a torch, which stood out in the dark night.
"I said brother-in-law, why did I feel weird along the way?" Yu Miaoling stepped forward and glanced at the silent people behind him, "Why don't they like to talk to me, as soon as I speak, these guys avoid me like a plague god, and their eyes are very disgusted......"
Wen Chen smiled dumbly, don't you have to avoid you, what if you kid takes off someone's pants when he moves?
"Maybe I don't know you well, just a few more days."
Yu Miaoling nodded suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong.
The checkpoints ahead were already faintly visible, and lights flashed in more than a dozen barracks.
Perhaps the torches lit by everyone were too conspicuous, and thirty zhang away from the checkpoint, they were stopped in the middle of the road by a group of red-clothed Southern Qi troops who rushed out.
"Stop! What for? β
"Why are you in a hurry in the middle of the night?"
Wen Chen turned over and dismounted, and hugged his fist at the young sergeant standing at the front, "I am Wen Chen, the third son of the South King of Dasheng Town, entrusted by General Sun Wuyi of your country, to escort the glass products that have just been processed!" β
As he spoke, he took out the token representing his identity and handed it over.
The young sergeant frowned, it was really the waist card of the Zhennan Palace, no one dared to forge this kind of thing, if he was caught, he would be killed!
Although he also knew that the imperial court had ordered a large number of glass orders from Hekou City, he had never heard that it would be sent at this time!
"Does His Royal Highness have any letters written by General Sun himself, or other tokens as proof?"
Wen Chen smiled slightly, quite vigilant.
However, all the reactions of the Southern Qi army were in his calculations.
"Yes, yes, but this king must first see the leader of your camp before he can hand it over."
"That's a lot!" The young sergeant snorted, a little dissatisfied that Wen Chen didn't take him seriously, "So I'll go into the camp!" β
Then he turned around and ordered his subordinates, "Keep an eye on Lao Tzu, if any of them behaves strangely, kill them on the spot!" β
"No!"
Many red-clothed sergeants immediately surrounded the caravan's more than 20 carriages, and their attention was all focused on these outsiders, but they didn't notice that in the grass not far behind them, more than a hundred men with firearms were crawling forward with dry grass on their backs, with a little murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
In the camp tent, a silver-helmeted general slowly stepped forward after listening to the report of his subordinates, and looked Wen Chen up and down a few times.
"You are Aquaman Wen Chen? What about General Sun's token? β
"Right here." Wen Chen smiled slightly, and took a half-foot-long iron box from behind him, on which was also hung a delicate and unique small copper lock.
"Open!"
"There's no hurry about this, let this king find it." Wen Chen took out a large string of keys of various colors from his bosom, rummaged through them at random, and instructed his subordinates beside him, "Quickly take out the gifts that this king brought to all the Nanqi brothers!" β
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Gift?
The Silver Helmet General was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were removed from the iron box, only to see a thin and obscene man, carrying a heavy wooden box from the carriage behind him and placing it in front of him.
When I opened it, I saw that it was full of beautifully made glass treasures.
The eyes of the Southern Qi army suddenly lit up, in their subconscious, the rare glass is still a priceless treasure, if you get one, you can show it when you go back!
The corners of the Silver Helmet General's mouth curled up unconsciously, his face softened slightly, and he glanced at Wen Chen contemptuously, "His Royal Highness the Sea King is much more sensible than Ling Zun......"
Wen Chen was not angry, and bowed his hand slightly, "Do business, courtesy, you should be!" β
"I also ask this general to call out all the brothers under him, pick carefully, and if you see a good one, you have to put it away quickly, don't cheapen the people behind."
Hearing this, the Silver Helmet General hesitated slightly, looked at the group of men behind Wen Chen with blank faces, subconsciously relaxed his vigilance, turned his head and ordered, "It was said that there was no oil and water with Lao Tzu, now you see it, right?" There are benefits, and Lao Tzu has to be the first to pick! β
"Hurry up, call up those night guards!"
"No!"
After a while, the sergeants in the battalion who heard that the son of the king of Zhennan personally sent the treasures over gathered in front of the caravan, looking at the boxes full of glazed treasures, their eyes full of longing!
"Brothers, pick and choose, do it!"
The Silver Helmet General gave an order, and his red-clothed soldiers rushed up and began to scramble.
Just as everyone was stirring up, they heard a crackling sound suddenly sounded beside them.
"What sound?"
Everyone turned around vigilantly, but saw Wen Chen holding a string of freshly lit cannons in his hand, and said without changing his face, "Don't panic, everyone, this is our Dasheng tradition, rushing at night to drive away disasters and evil spirits!" β
The Silver Helmet General was puzzled, and was about to tell his subordinates to hurry up and select treasures, but saw that the group of merchants brought by Wen Chen were all lying on the ground with their heads in their hands.
"Huh? What are they doing? β
The next moment, I heard a loud bang in my ears, and my head seemed to have been hit by a hammer, and I stared at the end with my eyes blazing!
Before the sergeant next to him could react, the gunshots outside the camp suddenly rang out, just a few deliberate efforts, and more than fifty red-clothed Southern Qi soldiers all fell in a pool of blood, and some of them were still holding the glass bottles they had just picked up, and their eyes were full of disbelief!
They couldn't believe it until they died, this honest and obedient prince of Zhennan didn't come to give them gifts, but to send them on the road!
In the night sky, a white dove spread its wings and was about to fly, Wen Chen, who was squatting on the ground, snorted coldly, walked quickly to the carriage, pulled out a rifle from under the carriage, put it on his chest, and glanced at it slightly!
Bang β
The dove, which had not yet flown far, suddenly exploded in the air and shattered into a mist of blood!
Phewβ
A whistle sounded in the night sky, and the people of the guard camp who were ambushed outside the camp tent rushed in under the leadership of Tu Sanqian, and began to clean the battlefield quickly, acting quickly and orderly!
Yu Miaoling, who was still a little stunned on the side, was dumbfounded!
Doesn't this kid know how to use soldiers?
Nanqi's first checkpoint, was passed by him so easily?
saw Wen Chen come up and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother-in-law, learn a little, this trick is called Dark Chen Cang!" β
