Chapter 468: Dark Clouds Dominate
"Last night General Lei Bin, Maher, Ed, and I came to visit Kyle, and when the military doctor told him that he was fine, we had a few more drinks together as soon as we were happy. ”
"Unexpectedly, when we woke up, we found that General Lei Bin had joined forces with Maher, as well as his two subordinates Rogge and Hope, and secretly left the barracks!"
"I'll tell you the truth, before you came here, we were about to mobilize cavalry to chase them!" Marcus hid without a trace, Kyle was fascinated by him and Li Zijun.
After listening to Marcas's account, Simpson sighed deeply:
"Come with me!" said Simpson, turning and striding out of the tent.
Seeing the 'cloud' on Simpson's face, the three of them understood that things might have changed again, and they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly followed.
As soon as they walked outside the tent, the three of them saw several war horses that were already waiting there, and they couldn't help but be stunned again.
"Time is short, there is no time to explain, you come with me to the Chinese tent at once, Marshal Conrad is waiting for you there!" said Simpson, jumping on his horse and hurried away.
"What the hell is going on?Why is my uncle so flustered?" Watching Simpson gallop through the camp and Marcas, who had just stepped on his war horse, couldn't help but ask Li Zijun in a low voice.
"I don't know, but something big must have happened, otherwise he would never have behaved like this!" Li Zijun said this, and naturally turned his gaze to Kyle's body.
"Don't look at me! They haven't been in touch with me since they left, and I've been with you almost all the time. I don't know what's going on!" Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Kyle hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't guess. We'll understand everything when we keep up!"
Hearing Li Zijun's words, Marcas was the first to hit the horse and rushed out. Kyle and Lee Zijun followed.
After a round of galloping, several people soon appeared in front of the Chinese army's big tent. There were already people waiting for them here, handing the reins to the soldiers who met them, and they threw off their strides and walked into the tent of the Chinese army.
After entering the big tent, Li Zijun immediately felt the strange atmosphere in the tent, everyone here, including the other four princes, was sinking like water!
To Li Zijun's surprise, he didn't see the fourth prince here. Could it be that the fourth prince is also an ally of Maher, Li Zijun couldn't help but have such a question in his heart.
It was during this time when Li Zijun was stunned. Simpson had already briefed Conrad on what was going on on their side.
"You're not drinking too much, someone is doing something in the wine!" Conrad waved his hand to the three of them with a grim face.
"It's not just you, even me and the old marquis are also caught in Lei Bin's way! He actually bribed the people around us and stole our seal, and he also used our seals to transfer your cavalry battalion!"
Hearing Conrad's words, Li Zijun and Marcus couldn't help but be shocked, and at the same time, they were also secretly relieved.
The cavalry battalion had already been placed under Marcas's men, if they had gone out without any orders. Marcas is duty-bound!
For this reason, Li Zijun and Marcus have always secretly hated Rogge and Hope for their treachery in their hearts! But hearing Conrad say this, their two hanging hearts can finally be let go.
It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders!
Although Marcus still has some responsibilities, it is definitely a world of difference compared to before!
It was heard that Lei Bin and Maher dared to steal the seals of Conrad and Simpson. Li Zijun and Marcus were still taken aback. These two guys really have a lot of guts!
"Fortunately, Bridget, the captain of the cavalry battalion, noticed something unusual, and insisted that he must see one of you before he could send troops, and his insistence finally saved a troop of cavalry for us. ”
It's a pity that Rogge and Hope were deceived by Lei Bin. They finally chose to obey and led the other soldiers of the cavalry battalion to follow Lei Bin and leave the camp!" Conrad sighed rather regretfully.
Li Zijun and Marcas took the opportunity to secretly exchange a look, and they shook their heads helplessly.
They are all well aware. It's not that Rogge and Hope are without Bridget's cleverness, but because of Maher, they can't refuse!
"The fourth prince was the first to find out about Lei Bin's sneaking out of the camp, and while he sent someone to report this to me, he took his men and followed Lei Bin's tracks. ”
"What people didn't expect was that he and his men were actually ambushed by the Fengqi people on the road!"
"The fourth prince was seriously injured! His men almost wiped out all of them in order to save him! Fortunately, in the end, they finally snatched the fourth prince back. Your Highness is receiving first aid in the back at the moment!"
"It's not dangerous, is it?" Marcus couldn't help but get up from his chair when he heard that Bobald was seriously injured.
"His Highness was shot in the left abdomen by a dark arrow, but fortunately, the arrow did not hit his vital organs, but he lost more blood. ”
"The medic said that as long as his wound did not deteriorate, he would be able to get back on his feet for a month at most. It's just that to fully recover, I'm afraid it will take a little more time. ”
"That's good, that's good!" Marcus wanted to visit Bo Bald immediately, but then he thought of the severity of the military situation at the moment, he hesitated a little, and sat back in his place.
"The attack on Bobald has also made the current situation even more complicated!" said Simpson as he sat down and stood up just in time.
"Uncle, do you suspect this is a defection?!" the third prince, Ninan, heard Simpson and jumped up from his chair violently.
"I hope I'm wrong!
"As far as I know, when Bo Bald got the news, Lei Bin and the others had just left. But in this case, in such a short period of time, Bo Bald was actually ambushed by Feng Qi in the process of chasing Lei Bin!"
"If Feng Qi didn't know anything about Lei Bin's actions in advance, then how could they react so quickly?"
"You must know that although Lei Bin has mentioned his so-called 'sneak attack plan' many times, he has never really told others the specific details of his 'plan', let alone leaked half of his possible course of action to everyone here!"
"We don't know something, why does Feng Qi seem to know very well?" Simpson's words were almost equivalent to defining Lei Bin's character, and for a while, everyone in the big tent was silent.
"Then what should we do now? Are we just watching Lei Bin surrender to Feng Qi? Don't forget, my sixth brother is still in that team!" Everyone was still weighing the pros and cons in their hearts, and the seventh prince Buhe, who had rarely said much before, couldn't bear it, and he stood up first.
"Bucher, don't worry, Marshal Conrad and I are still trying to figure out a way, we will definitely get Maher back!" Simpson waved his hand at Bucher and comforted him.
What can I do? The passages have been blocked, what else can I do?!
Everyone understood that Simpson was prevaricating Buch, and they couldn't help but shake their heads secretly.
In fact, the vast majority of people in the account, including Li Zijun and Marcus, could not fully trust Simpson's judgment on Lei Bin.
In other words, they didn't think that Lei Bin would defect to the Fengqi Empire at this time, they preferred to believe that Lei Bin was just carrying out his plan to sneak attack the 'Fengqi Granary'!
But these people here also know that since Lei Bin's back road has been blocked, that means that Conrad's previous guess that the 'Fengqi granary' is a trap is completely correct!
This also means that the team commanded by Lei Bin has almost no chance of survival!
In this case, it is definitely unwise to rush to the rescue, and Bo Bald's serious injury is the most obvious revelation;
But once Conrad and Simpson successfully characterize Lei Bin's operation as Lei Bin's personal defection, it is equivalent to finding a proper reason for them not to send troops to rescue.
Simpson's speech just now is actually a temptation for the princes, as long as none of them stand up to doubt and oppose it, Conrad will be able to convict Lei Bin of 'defection' as a matter of course!
Buhe is still a little immature, and his words just now not only did not help Maher, but instead pushed Maher into the abyss again!
Most of the other princes guessed what Conrad and Simpson meant, and almost none of them wanted to wade into the troubled waters, and they all just sighed and shook their heads.
But almost no one doesn't mean really no one, Marcus suddenly stood up at this time!
"I think even if Lei Bin wants to defect, it's just his business. I believe that even if he is under his command, few will willingly follow him as a traitor! At least Maher and our cavalry battalion will never be able to follow him as a traitor!"
"If he wants to pull our team over, he will definitely create an opportunity first!"
"I think there's the opportunity!" Marcus gestured to the military map behind Conrad.
"Fengqi granary!"
Hearing Marcus's words, Li Zijun felt relieved at the same time, but he couldn't help but be a little worried.
Fortunately, Marcus did not directly dismiss Conrad and Simpson's characterization of Lei Bin, but took a very tactful way to say what he thought. This shows that Marcas has begun to really mature today!
The concern is that Lee knows exactly what Marcus will say next, because that is exactly what they have set up to save the situation.
It's just that now the situation has become worse than they expected, but the strength in their hands is much weaker than they expected! (To be continued......
