Chapter 222: Operation Heavy Hammer
After the soldier negotiated with the soldiers of the Jiudaowan Barracks, he took Zhao Yuan and the other six cooks to a barracks, motioned for everyone to change into ordinary people's clothes, and made proper arrangements, and the soldier threw Zhao Yuan and the others outside.
Coming out of the barracks, Zhao Yuan found that some of the people had also changed their clothes, and the clothes were the same as them, all of them were herdsmen's clothes.
Zhao Yuan was arranged to be next to a healthy horse, and Zhao Yuan found that everyone had a stinging slave healthy horse by their side.
When Li Min was approaching, Zhao Yuan felt the tense atmosphere, and those soldiers were holding their breath, as if they were listening to something.
Just when Zhao Yuan was guessing wildly, suddenly, there was a stormy sound of horses' hooves outside Blackwater City, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly deafening when Li Min was approaching, and the entire Blackwater City seemed to be shaking.
"Let's go!" shouted a short, sturdy soldier in the darkness, and immediately turned on his horse.
"Keep up. ”
A soldier whispered a shout at Zhao Yuan and several cooks.
"Yes, yes. ”
Zhao Yuan and a few cooks turned over their horses and followed the group of soldiers out of Blackwater City, and when they just left the gate of Blackwater City, thousands of elite cavalry outside rushed like a tide from outside the canyon.
Seeing the murderous rush of the black crushing cavalry, Rao is Zhao Yuan was bold and frightened, and a group of cooks were even more frightened.
A strange scene arose, when the overwhelming cavalry approached them, they suddenly leaned to the side, making way for them to pass by a narrow passage.
"Speed up!"
The thin and sturdy man urged, and immediately, a group of soldiers and cooks disguised as herdsmen urged their horses to gallop towards the grassland beyond the canyon, and Zhao Yuan and several cooks hurriedly followed.
Everyone ran non-stop all the way, and they ran wildly for a hundred miles, until the sun rose three poles.
When the horse was galloping, Zhao Yuan had already figured out the structure of this group of people, including him and the six cooks, the total number was thirty-two, and the sturdy little man was a soldier and a leader, known as "Brother Yun".
The group found a sheltered bush to rest, and several cooks immediately gathered hay and dead branches and prepared to raise the fire for cooking, but they were stopped by the sturdy little soldier.
"What are you doing?" the short, sturdy soldier looked at the cooks with a puzzled expression.
"Master Jun, cook!" Jin Xiaopang looked flattering.
"Cook!" the soldier was stunned.
"Didn't you call us here to cook for you?" Jin Xiaopang also looked puzzled.
"Are you a cook?" asked the short, sturdy soldier as he came to his senses.
"Yes, we are all chefs. ”
“…… Cook...... Chef ......"
The short and sturdy soldier had a cold face, but suddenly he woke up, and immediately had a nervous breakdown, and sat on the ground with a trance. After a while, the soldier came to his senses, gathered everyone together, and asked for detailed identities one by one.
Among the thirty-two people, except for Zhao Yuan, who was a reservist, the others were all regular soldiers, but the difference was that they were not well-trained combatants, but engaged in various jobs in the army, and they didn't even know what the Dao had summoned them to Blackwater City for.
After figuring out their respective identities, the short and sturdy soldiers looked disheartened when they were in a daze for a long time.
Then, the short and sturdy soldier told everyone about the mission.
Assassinate the Assassin Slave Shan Yu's arm, King Zuoxian.
The crowd was stunned at first, then agitated, clamoring to go back.
Zhao Yuan could only smile bitterly, he thought that the worst plan was to be sent to the recruit training camp for training, he never dreamed that they would be sent directly to the enemy's rear to carry out the assassination mission. There is no doubt that this was an assassination attempt to the death.
"Quiet. The short, sturdy soldier raised his arms with a serious expression.
The noisy crowd fell silent.
The short, sturdy soldier began to tell the story of the assassination.
This assassination operation is called "Operation Heavy Hammer", which means that it will deal a heavy blow to the locality, because King Zuo Xian is the main battle faction of the assassin slave, and if King Zuo Xian is assassinated, Blackwater City is likely to be exempted from military disasters.
This plan had been put forward in detail months earlier, with several large barracks selecting elites to carry out assassination operations, and then commanding them by a tough man codenamed "Brother Yun".
Because of the vast area of the grassland and desert, when carrying out the "Heavy Hammer Operation", in order not to leak the news, and the long distance, the elites have enough time to run in, so except for Brother Yun, when the elite team members left Blackwater City, they all knew the assassination mission.
Similarly, in order to keep it a secret, Brother Yun did not contact the selected elites.
In order to keep it secret, when the assassination team went deep into the grassland, Blackwater City sent thousands of elite cavalry to clear dozens of miles outside Blackwater City and expelled all the spies and herdsmen.
"Brother Yun, I'm just a chef, I'm going home!" Jin Xiaopang was the first to object.
"I want to go home too, but if we go back now, I am sure that tomorrow at noon our heads will be hung above the city gates. Brother Yun smiled bitterly.
"Ah......h
A group of people immediately looked at each other.
"Strictly speaking, your identity is a regular soldier, as long as you violate discipline while performing your mission, even if you are not sentenced to death, you will be imprisoned for a long time, here, the only one who can leave is Xiao Zhao, because his identity is a reservist, and he is not qualified to carry out military operations. ”
"Zhao Yuan, you can go home alone, did you mean it?" Jin Xiaopang looked at Zhao Yuan with a jealous expression.
"Yes, Zhao Yuan, did you deliberately frame us?" several other chefs condemned Zhao Yuan in unison.
"Guys, what's the point of arguing about this now? The most important thing right now is to find a way to get the job done and get home safely. Zhao Yuan said lightly.
"Complete the task ......"
"Get home safely!"
"Boy, we are going to assassinate King Zuoxian, a madman who assassinates slaves, a war maniac. ”
“……”
Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, everyone was suddenly shocked, and they argued violently.
"Brother Yun, what do you think?" Zhao Yuan looked at Brother Yun.
"For this plan, I racked my brains and prepared for several months, but I couldn't imagine that I would fall short at the last moment...... It seems that the discord between the Sledgehammer God and the above is not groundless......" Brother Yun looked frustrated.
"Brother Yun, is the army the main battle or the main peace?" Zhao Yuan was suddenly a little confused, judging from this operation, the army planned this operation, aiming to eliminate King Zuo Xian, who was the main battle of the assassins, so as to achieve the goal of peace. However, there seems to be another force at hand that is holding back the army's decision, and although it approved the operation, it was to interfere with it, make the assassination attempt fail, and achieve the purpose of the war.
It seems that the forces behind the scenes would prefer war to happen.
"I don't know about this, but the general once said that the Great Qin Empire is now a natural disaster*, internal and external troubles, and storms, so it is not suitable for using soldiers. Brother Yun shook his head.
"Yes. ”
Zhao Yuan secretly admired, sure enough, he was a man who was famous, and the sledgehammer god was far-sighted, not a brave and unscrupulous person.
The Great Qin Empire seems to be strong, but in the famine last year, it was revealed that the edifice was about to collapse, and if a large-scale war broke out, it was likely to trigger a chain reaction that would be out of control.
