Zhang Chenghu waited for about half an hour. Just when his patience was gradually exhausted, a small black spot appeared in his telescope... ···············
Seeing the appearance of the small black dot, Zhang Chenghu instantly became energetic and held up the telescope to observe carefully. Under his gaze, the small black dot in the telescope moved closer and closer, turning into a capable young man. When the person reached the top of Wuming Mountain, he did not go directly up the mountain. Instead, he first made a fist toward Wuming Mountain, and then made several gestures with his arms.
Seeing that there were no mistakes in the actions of this capable young man, Zhang Chenghu gradually relaxed and nodded slightly to the subordinates beside him. After receiving the signal, the subordinates immediately walked up. After a cup of tea, the capable young man He was brought to Zhang Chenghu.
After looking up and down at the calm-looking young man in front of him, Zhang Chenghu looked at him and then asked:
"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of the earth?"
Hearing Zhang Chenghu ask for the password, the young man answered calmly:
"Pagoda suppresses the river demon!"
Seeing that the young man answered the code correctly, Zhang Chenghu completely let go of his guard and said:
"Are you Lu Wu?"
"That's right! That's right!" Lu Wu cupped his hands towards Zhang Chenghu and replied:
Time was tight and tasks were heavy. After confirming the identity of the other party, Zhang Chenghu didn't waste time and asked directly:
"When will the target appear?"
Although it is freezing cold now, according to Ye Mingsheng's instructions, the Fengwu Army stationed in Hebei and Henan also launched small-scale harassment in the Huainan and Anqing areas controlled by the Zhennan Army. The reason why Zhang Chenghu did this today Leading this elite small force to lurk hundreds of miles deep into enemy territory is to carry out the special military operation planned by Feihu Camp and the Coordination Office. And the Lu Wu in front of them is the contact person given to them in Huaiyuan County by the Supervision Department. ·····························
Facing Zhang Chenghu’s inquiry, Lu Wu said without hesitation:
"According to the news sent two days ago, the speed of the target is slower than expected. It is expected to arrive in Huaiyuan County this evening, and at the latest it will not exceed noon tomorrow!"
At this point, Lu Wu glanced at the Fengwu Army soldiers who were resting in the woods. He hesitated and asked Zhang Chenghu:
"According to the intelligence, there are eight hundred people guarding the target. Are you enough people?"
Regarding Lu Wu’s doubts, Zhang Chenghu smiled confidently and said:
"There are not many soldiers but good ones. Just be responsible for the intelligence and leave the rest to us!"
Although he still had some doubts about whether this mission could be completed with such a small number of manpower, seeing that Zhang Chenghu had spoken for this reason, Lu Wu did not say much and nodded slightly, and then followed the soldiers of the Fengwu Army. Hidden in the woods.
As a spy of the Coordination Office, he not only provides intelligence support for this operation, but also assumes the role of guide. Huaiyuan County is 300 miles away from the control area of Fengwu Army and is regarded as a safe area by Zhennan Army. This time Once the mission is successful, the Anqing Army will definitely block the border. At that time, it will be impossible for Zhang Chenghu to lead his troops back the same way. He can only take some remote roads back to Hebei and Yu, and this requires a guide who is familiar with the terrain. ··································
The winter night came very quickly, and the sky was already completely dark in the blink of an eye. Without the sun, it became even colder in the woods. Although Zhang Chenghu hoped that his men would remain private and quiet, there was no fire to keep warm in such a bitingly cold weather. , soldiers can easily suffer frostbite from freezing to death.
Therefore, Zhang Chenghu first sent scouts twenty miles east, where the target must pass to Huaiyuan County, and asked the scouts to report immediately when they found the target's traces. After doing this, he asked his men to make a fire to keep warm.
Because he was vaccinated by Lu Wu, Zhang Chenghu also made plans to wait for the target until noon tomorrow. However, what surprised Zhang Chenghu was that just after arriving at Mao hour, the scouts sent out came back to report.
"Master Sentinel, the target has appeared!"
After receiving the news, Zhang Chenghu and the more than 200 elite soldiers of the Fengwu Army were all refreshed. This was undoubtedly very good news for them. They were now deep in the enemy territory, and as long as their whereabouts were exposed, they would be killed. They will inevitably be strangled by the enemy's large forces, so they will bear considerable risks every day they lurk.
Therefore, the sooner the target appears, the better news it is for them. If they complete the task earlier, they can return to Hebei and Henan one day earlier. This small force of theirs has been on the border of Hebei and Henan for some time, and everyone is a little tired. , plus the Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone hopes to go home early to celebrate the New Year...
Shangfeng has already said that after this task is completed, everyone can go back to celebrate the New Year. Not only that, each person will be rewarded with at least five taels of silver, and the right to use five acres of land for seventy years. In addition to the first time, there will also be food, silk, and salt. And those who have made great achievements can even be promoted to one level!
After confirming that the target appeared, Zhang Chenghu immediately led his soldiers and quietly walked towards the predetermined ambush location. After burning incense, Zhang Chenghu came to a hillside. He held a telescope in one hand and a portrait in the other. He held his breath and observed attentively. Look at the condition of the road not far away.
The portrait in Zhang Chenghu's hand depicts the image of a burly, thick-set, and ferocious martial artist. This person is their target this time, a powerful general under Xu Zhaojie, the Anqing General Soldier who commands the 30,000 elite troops of the Zhennan Army in Anqing—— Liu Zongchang!
Liu Zongchang, a thirty-six-year-old Sichuan native, was born in a grassroots family and was originally a butcher who killed pigs. When he was twenty years old, he killed a man with a knife because of a dispute. There was a banditry in his hometown, and the county magistrate had too few troops. Seeing Liu Zongchang's tall and muscular appearance, he took him to suppress the bandits.
This Liu Zongchang is indeed a fierce man. When the bandits were fighting with the officers and soldiers, he beheaded the leader of the bandits with one knife. The county magistrate was very satisfied. He became a sergeant, and later joined the Shu army by chance, and gradually climbed up to the position of captain by virtue of his military exploits... ··
Although he was not a direct descendant of Xu Zhaojie who had followed Xu Zhaojie since the beginning of the Forbidden Army, but was recruited by Xu Zhaojie from Sichuan and Sichuan, this did not affect Xu Zhaojie's trust in him at all, and Liu Zongchang was originally just an unknown sentry commander in Sichuan and Sichuan. , he was also very grateful to Xu Zhaojie for his kindness. He publicly said many times that his life belonged to Xu Zhaojie, and he would kill whoever Xu Zhaojie asked him to kill!
Unlike others who chanted very high-pitched slogans but acted like a coward, Liu Zongchang also used actions to prove his vow to Xu Zhaojie. When Xu Zhaojie attacked Huainan, Liu Zongchang led his troops to serve as the vanguard many times. In this position, he takes the lead, bravely and fearlessly leads his troops to the front of the army, and when retreating, he leads the army to the back and stands behind the army!
When fighting Kangyin, Liu Zongchang's troops encountered an ambush by the Huai army and were trapped among several times the enemy's force. During the chaotic battle, Liu Zongchang himself suffered eleven wounds from swords and arrows, but he Relying on his bravery, he led his men to repel the ambushing Huai army. Therefore, Xu Zhaojie called him "Xu Chu, the reincarnation of the tiger fool of the Zhennan Army", and even had a vague reputation as the most powerful general of the Zhennan Army.
After Xu Zhaojie captured Huainan, the Zhennan Army Liu Zongchang, a fierce general recognized by the entire army for his merits and deeds, was also appointed by Xu Zhaojie as the Anqing Commander-in-Chief. With such a fierce general serving as the Anqing Commander-in-Chief, he could gain a glimpse of Xu Zhaojie's strategic deployment. Exploration 12······························
Senior officials of the Fengwu Army generally believe that Xu Zhaojie appointed Liu Zongchang as the commander-in-chief of Anqing, most likely with the intention of building Anqing into a bridgehead against the Fengwu Army and an advance base for the Northern Expedition to Hebei and Henan. By then, Liu Zongchang and his troops would be deployed in Anqing. The more than 30,000 elite soldiers were Xu Zhaojie's vanguard troops heading north.
Based on this judgment, Yuan Song's headquarters of the Fengwu Army's First Army, which was deployed in Hebei and Henan, was also actively carrying out targeted deployments.
Liu Zongchang, who was born in the grassroots and climbed up from a big-headed soldier step by step, his philosophy of leading troops is very simple and direct. He stubbornly believes that as a general, you should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers in normal times, and lead the way in war. You will be a high official. Those who are not afraid of death dare to take the lead and rush forward, and the brothers behind will follow you in the same way!
As long as everyone is not afraid of risking their lives against the enemy, then there is no battle that cannot be won!
Based on this theory, the most common thing Liu Zongchang did was to inspect the front lines to see how the soldiers on the front lines were doing. During this period, small groups of Fengwu Army troops relied on their mobility to frequently raid the Anqing border. , attack and kill the Zhennan Army's logistics convoy and support the Zhennan Army's gentry. If the Zhennan Army launches a large-scale purge, they will immediately withdraw to the territory of Hebei and Henan. When the Zhennan Army's operation is over, they will fight back again.
Under such circumstances, the Zhennan Army deployed at the border was extremely annoyed, anxious and painful. Liu Zongchang, the commander-in-chief, was also very dissatisfied with this situation, which also prompted him to decide to personally inspect the front line. To solve this problem, the first stop of his inspection was Huaiyuan County······················
Shortly after Liu Zongchang made his decision, the intelligence network of the Coordination Office in Anqing got the news. After some contact between the Coordination Office and the military, the two sides also formulated a plan to attack Liu Zongchang. Liu Zongchang Death will definitely disrupt Xu Zhaojie's plan, delay Xu Zhaojie's march north, and be a great deterrent to the Zhennan Army.
Because of all these benefits, Yuan Song was willing to use the elite scouts from Feihuying and the First Army to carry out this combat mission.
Liu Zongchang, who was walking on the path at this time, did not know that death was about to come. Walking in the front row of the team, he asked impatiently to the deputy general next to him:
"His grandma's, how far is it to Huaiyuan County now?"
Facing Liu Zongchang's inquiry, the deputy general looked around and said:
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, we are still about seven or eight miles away from Huaiyuan County!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zongchang immediately gathered his last energy, pointed in the direction of Huaiyuan County and said:
"Guards, come with me! Let's sleep with the girls in Huaiyuan County tonight!"
"Got the order!"
As soon as these words came out, the very tired guards' eyes flashed with light and they shouted loudly:
The troops of the Zhennan Army were quickly heading towards Huaiyuan County. On a hidden hillside, five or six soldiers of the Fengwu Army shook their heads at Zhang Chenghu.
These are all the sharpshooters of the First Army, and each of them is a master of using fire blunderbuss to kill people dozens of steps away. In order to carry out the mission of attacking Liu Zongchang, the First Army specially transferred them and prepared the weapons. The most advanced Fengwu gun in the army was lent to Zhang Chenghu to carry out the mission!
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Zhang Chenghu felt a little disappointed. The mission he got was to attack and kill Liu Zongchang, not to confront the enemy head-on. Therefore, it would undoubtedly be best if he could kill Liu Zongchang with a gun... ···················
But since we can’t do it, we have to be tough!
In short, no matter what, they must complete the task assigned by the above in this operation and kill the bastard Liu Zongchang!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chenghu waved his hand and had already prepared more than 20 grenades. He immediately lit the grenade fuse and threw it towards Liu Zongchang's escort troops passing by on the path. This time, because he was on an attack mission, he carried the Crouching Tiger Cannon. It was a little too bulky, so the First Army specially prepared several boxes of grenades for them to carry as fire support.
Liu Zongchang and his guards, who were dreaming of going to Huaiyuan County to sleep with women, never expected that they would be hit so suddenly so close to Huaiyuan County. They were all caught off guard and were targeted. There were dozens of casualties around Liu Zongchang. Even though Liu Zongchang was surrounded by people to protect him, he was still hit in the face by broken shrapnel.
For a moment, the already ferocious face, reflected by the dripping blood, became as terrifying as Shura. Seeing that Liu Zongchang was not killed, Zhang Chenghu shook his head with regret, and then led people straight to Liu Zongchang. And go.
Liu Zongchang, who was still a little confused about the situation, looked at the Fengwu Army soldiers coming out of the hillside with no fear in his eyes. Instead, a ferocious look appeared on his face, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face as he shouted:
"Guards! Kill these Fengwu soldiers, and I will take over all the brothels for you..."
