"Uh... In reply to Mr. Xiao, anyone in the army who disobeys orders and disobeys orders will be killed according to the law!" Lin Yue couldn't help being startled when he heard Xiao Chen's question. Mr. Xiao, you are not going to kill him, are you?
"Then just kill him." Xiao Chen said lightly.
ah?
Really killing?
"How dare you? I am a fifth-rank official of the imperial court, and I have followed the emperor through life and death! What right do you, a dead eunuch, have to kill me!" Wei Qiang pulled out the knife directly, glared at Xiao Chen, shouted to his men, and tried to fight to the death. .
"Come on, come on! Come on..." Before the last word could be uttered, a cold light flashed through and cut off his head.
"Haha, you talk so much nonsense when you are about to die." Wei Yuntian chuckled ferociously, wiped the blood-stained knife on Wei Qiang's twitching body, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Really killed...
As a military general, Lin Yue was lucky, but several civil servants had never seen such a bloody murder scene, and their faces turned pale with fright, and their legs were covered in chaff.
Several officers under Wei Qiang heard his shouts and rushed in. They were all shocked when they saw that Wei Qiang, who was still alive just now, had his head on the ground.
"Wei Qiang blatantly disobeyed, so I had to kill him." Xiao Chen still had a smile on his face, "Do you also want to disobey?"
"You dare not!" Several officers knelt down in unison.
"Well, that's good. I remember your name is Yue Zhonglin, right?" Xiao Chen pointed to one of the young hundred households, "Now I order you to replace Wei Qiang as the temporary thousand household, is that okay?"
"I humbly obey my orders!" Yue Zhonglin said hurriedly.
He and Wei Qiang have always been at odds with each other, and he is even more disdainful of Wei Qiang's pretentious behavior along the way.
When Wei Qiang whipped the refugees on the road today, he became very angry and his face turned red with anger. If Xiao Chen hadn't kicked Wei Qiang away with a flying kick, he might have taken action.
Xiao Chen had always had a good impression of him, so he temporarily promoted him and entrusted him with important tasks.
But when I heard that Mr. Xiao was preparing to attack Black Tiger Mountain at night, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"Soldiers need to be quick, so it won't be too late. I think it's best if we take action tonight." Xiao Chen had already begun to give orders.
Let Wei Yuntian, Chen Ming, Lin Yue, and Yue Zhonglin each select 25 elite men to form a death squad of 100 people.
After being selected, let them go to bed immediately and set off at midnight.
Zhuge Xiaosheng stayed behind in the city, and I personally led the team into action...
This is absolutely impossible!
Lin Yue and others were shocked when they heard this. Mr. Xiao, you have given us enough surprises tonight. You can't give us any more surprises!
You are the Chief of Ceremonies Bingbi, an imperial envoy appointed by the Emperor. How can you follow us to break into the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den?
If something goes wrong, everyone will die.
We admire your courage, Mr. Xiao, but this is not to be polite to you, Mr. Xiao. You are just a big burden to follow, you know?
However, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind. He waved his hand and ordered them to go down and prepare immediately. I also need to narrow my eyes a little. Let's play together later...
That's fine, as long as you are happy, sir!
"Oh, by the way, Brother Zi'ang, please send people to gather all the refugees from outside the city and select some young men to be on standby." Xiao Chen gave another strange order.
"Yes, let's do the humble job right now." Chen Ziang said in his heart, Mr. Xiao, what kind of song are you singing? Don’t you want those refugees to follow you and lead the charge as cannon fodder?
"It's a bit reckless of you to do this." Chen Jisheng waited until everyone had gone out before expressing his worries.
"Didn't you hear them say that Gong Heihu has a lot of food? It would be great if we snatch it back and distribute it to the refugees." What Xiao Chen really cares about is not Gong Heihu's head, but his belongings.
"That's not what I'm saying. It's your decision on this matter! If I hadn't been old and powerless, I would have followed suit... I mean you shouldn't have risked your life," Chen Jisheng said. .
"Hey, you old man, do you feel sorry for me?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"I feel sorry for those brothers! Soldiers are in trouble! You are not just being naughty. You are a weak scholar. What do you know about fighting? If you follow me, you will be a burden. You said that when the time comes, the big guy will kill the enemy or protect you. ?" Chen Jisheng said loudly.
"I came up with the idea myself, but let the brothers take risks. This cannot be justified by emotion and reason. Besides, I am not a weak scholar. I have killed several little devils with my own hands at sea!"
Xiao Chen actually told Chen Jisheng about this, but Chen Jisheng, who was in the cabin at the time, didn't see it with his own eyes and didn't believe it at all, so he just thought he was bragging.
Chen Ming said that you were so scared that you peed your pants and you thought I didn’t know?
The two have been getting along day and night for these days, and they have developed a very deep relationship.
Although Chen Jisheng refused to admit it, he liked this little eunuch more and more in his heart.
I don't want him to take risks.
"You can bring a few people to support you at the bottom of the mountain. This can be regarded as commanding the battle. Besides, aren't Yuntian and your brothers from the West Factory all going up? It's no different from participating in the war in person. Who can blame you? Besides... ..." He kept chattering, trying to persuade Xiao Chen to change his mind.
"You old man, please stop making so much noise. I have to rest for a while, otherwise I won't be energetic later... I'm going to walk slowly and don't see you off." Xiao Chen became impatient, fell on the bed, closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.
"I'll kill you, you ungrateful brat!" Chen Jisheng blew his beard angrily and glared, but there was nothing he could do.
He blew out the candles and lit a piece of mosquito repellent incense for him on the bedside before leaving in frustration.
At midnight, Xiao Chen led a hundred people quietly out of the city gate, taking advantage of the darkness, and headed straight for Black Tiger Mountain.
Do you think Xiao Chen's surprise attack was very reckless?
Not really.
Because the art of military use relies on surprise!
Gong Heihu would never have expected that Xiao Chen would dare to lead a mere hundred people to beat him.
And it's just tonight.
In addition, Xiao Chen is quite confident in his brothers. After the bloody battle with the Japs on the ship, he is even more confident!
Not even the elite Japanese navy, how can it be a big deal to deal with a bunch of bandits?
As for Chen Jisheng's worries about his personal safety, it is unnecessary.
There are three reasons.
First, he himself knows Flame Palm! Although it may work sometimes, it may not work at times, but once it works, it is almost invincible!
Secondly, he was wearing the silkworm clothes Duanmu Nanqiao gave him, which could basically be said to be invulnerable.
Third, he has a really invincible and invulnerable younger brother Xiao Ye beside him! With him following him, who else would Xiao Chen be spoiling?
No one is used to it!
Soon we came to the ravine at the foot of the north side of Black Tiger Mountain. There was no way up the mountain at all, just a sheer cliff as sharp as a knife.
Gong Heihu never expected that any army would launch an attack from here, so he didn't even set up a hidden sentry below.
And Xiao Chen's plan is to climb up from here and give Gong Heihu a big surprise...
