Chapter 775 Hostage-taking
It is said that Guo Jia's wisdom is extraordinary, and he has a perfect strategy when he takes action. Although Huang Gai had to venture into Chenliu in person, with the presence of well-trained special forces, the chance of success was still very high.
The two of them had made a plan and agreed on a departure time with Zhang Liao and Cao Xing. Everyone was excited and made preparations. Danbiao Zhang Liao followed Huang Gai to the back warehouse and took over a pair of night clothes and a thin metal light armor. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Good armor! How is such a light and thin armor made?"
Huang Gai said proudly: "Of course it was my lord's idea. What is the steel rolling production line called? In short, it can make light and thin armor. I don't know much about the craftsmanship." After that, he stared at it with big eyes. Looking into Zhang Liao's handsome eyes, he said: "Wenyuan, if you can accompany my lord in the future, you will know that my lord is a learned man of heaven, beyond our reach. Wenyuan is blessed to be able to submit to my lord!" After saying this, his eyes turned to him with confusion. The void seems to be recalling Chen Long, whom he has not seen for a long time, and seems to be admiring the illusory God in the distance.
Zhang Liao's heart palpitated as he heard Huang Gai's overtones. Zhang Liao was not stupid, but rather sensitive. He immediately knelt down and said, "Commander Huang Mingjian, if Zhang Liao has any selfish thoughts, I will blast him to pieces with the thunder of discipline."
When Huang Gai saw Zhang Liao's sincerity, he was overjoyed and helped him up. He laughed and said, "I have heard that Zhang Wenyuan is both civil and military. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary. My lord will use him in high regard in the future, and Wen Yuan will be a famous Qinglong general!"
Wen Yuan stood up and saw that Huang Gai had no airs, and couldn't help but feel something about the culture of the Qinglong Army. Huang Gai was so happy that he turned his hand to create a dagger and said: "This is the Qinglong dagger designed and manufactured by the Lord himself, specially equipped with special operations troops. Today I met Wen Yuan for the first time. I didn't have any gifts, so I gave him this thing." Bar."
Zhang Liao is a man who knows things well. When he saw the dagger was shining brightly and knew it was a precious dagger, he couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude. The two talked about their ages, but Huang Gai was five years older, so they became brothers.
The night has not yet fallen, Cao Xing has obtained the Qinglong Repeating Crossbow, and is adjusting the bow and arrow again and again, as if a big boy has obtained his beloved toy. Several tall bed crossbows have been installed on the warship. After modification, they can also fire boulders. At this time, the Chang'an Navy of the Qinglong Army was still recently transformed from the Army. Because the production of large ships was mainly in the Yangtze River Basin, it had not yet had time to equip it on the Yellow River line in Tongguan, so it was not equipped with catapults similar to artillery shells with medicine and stone inside.
Zhang Liao and Cao Xing never expected that the Qinglong Army's military technology was so advanced. Compared with the Qinglong Army's advanced equipment, the Bingzhou Army's machete was simply a stick used by primitive people. No matter how different the two people are, they still have to weigh and decide who will dominate the country.
As darkness gradually fell, Fu Tong and Cao Xing led more than a dozen warships and were ready for battle. At the same time, several small boats slipped silently through the turbulent waters of the Yellow River under the darkness of night, approaching the south bank under a hidden embankment. There were all masked samurai on board, all dressed in night clothes with only their eyes exposed, very much like the attire of later Japanese ninjas. In an instant, everyone got off the boat silently, tied the boat, placed two people to guard it, and the rest disappeared into the darkness.
Behind Huang Gai and Zhang Liao were thirty special operations team members. They left hidden stakes along the road and swam across the moat. When they reached the Chenliu city wall, there were exactly twenty people left. Seeing the darkness on the city wall, Zhang Liao knew that the defense must be lax. He found the dog hole where they escaped, and everyone carefully climbed into the city.
The top of the city was deserted and sparsely defended, but inside the city walls there was a lot of shouting and crying. Huang Gai couldn't help but frown. It was not easy to hide his figure in such a chaotic situation, so he had to walk on foot. Suddenly, everyone frowned. In the small courtyard next to the dog hole, there was a piercing scream. It was obvious that this family was being robbed by Cao's army.
Without Huang Gai's order, everyone hid in the corner and did not dare to move. Zhang Liao on the side couldn't bear it anymore and secretly gritted his steel teeth. Knowing that the people in the city were still his subjects a day ago, how could he bear to let them die miserably.
Huang Gai felt Zhang Liao trembling all over and understood his intentions. Although it was possible to destroy the plan to rescue the hostages, the persecution was happening in front of him, so how could he not save him. Secretly sent an order to seal the front and rear doors and not let anyone go. Then he and Zhang Liao jumped up and climbed over the courtyard wall.
The courtyard wall was stained with blood, and there were two gray-haired old men lying in the courtyard, and a young man lying at the door of the house, both lying in a pool of blood, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. The two men checked their breathing respectively, and found out that neither of them could survive. They were angry in their hearts. At this time, screams came from the house. One after another, the two men kicked the window lattice with a rumble and jumped in from the windows on both sides.
This was also to prevent someone from sneaking up behind the door with a knife. However, after entering the house, he saw five or six strong men, all naked, milling around the bed. There were no traps anywhere. The two of them looked at each other and knew that they had encountered Cao Jun raping a woman. They were so angry that they picked up the dagger and rushed up.
The few Cao soldiers did not expect that someone dared to smash the window. They were surprised and a little confused. They were immediately stabbed to death by Zhang Liao and Huang Gai. The remaining few people were furious and went to get the knife naked. Only one of them was smart. He smashed the back window and escaped, and the rest were sent to the west one by one by Zhang Liao and Huang Gai.
Zhang Liao saw an old man and a young man on the bed. They were a mother and a daughter. The younger daughter was only ten years old and both were dying. It was really miserable. He pulled the quilt and wrapped the two of them up. Both of them had blood-red eyes. They hated Cao Jun the most in their lives for treating the people like pigs and dogs.
The person who escaped was captured alive by the surrounding Qinglong special forces team members in an instant, and was tied in front of the two of them. Huang Gai saw the man trembling and knew that the man was greedy for life and afraid of death. He took the bloody corpse of Cao Jun and cut off his penis in front of him. Cao Jun was frightened and fainted on the spot. Zhang Liao got cold water and poured cold water on him to wake him up. He said bitterly: "Such a beast is committing such atrocities! What if I castrate you?"
Cao Jun's face was full of shame and he begged bitterly. He only said that he was coerced by the soldiers. Zhang Liao asked: "Do you know where Chen Liu's general prisoners were detained during the day?"
The sergeant shook his head and didn't know. It seemed that he really didn't know. Zhang Liao pondered: "Who is your general? Where does he live?" The sergeant nodded quickly this time and said: "This villain is a subordinate of General Xiahou, and he belongs to the Cao family. My dear son-in-law." Zhang Liao had heard of it, and he was startled and said: "But Mr. Xiahou? Where does he live?"
The sergeant nodded frequently and said, "It's General Xiahou Mao. He likes peace and quiet and lives in Donghu Villa, east of the city center."
Zhang Liao asked again: "How many people are guarding it?" The sergeant shook his head and said: "It should be his bodyguards, a total of four to five hundred people. I don't know the details, so I don't dare to deceive the adults."
Zhang Liao saw that this man was quite agile and glanced at Huang Gai. Huang Gai immediately said without thinking: "Leave it to Wenyuan. Military discipline of the Qinglong Army, those who insult underage women will die." He said this, but his eyes were watching Zhang Liao.
Seeing that Huang Gai trusted him so much, Zhang Liao thought for a moment and said, "In my humble opinion, here are some Cao Jun uniforms and a few people dressed up as Cao Jun. Let this person lead the way to kidnap Xiahou Mao first."
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
