Chapter 039: Being a pawn and being used as a gunman
Huang Huai was awakened from his dream by Huang Changgeng's words. Time waits for no one. Seeing that it was only a few hours before dawn and everything had not been arranged yet, he really could no longer hesitate.
Huang Huai lowered his head slightly for a while, his teeth clicked a few times, and he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Generals, listen to the order! The moment of life and death has arrived, and we have to make an important choice——
"
The Spring Dragon Festival was approaching, and Huang Huai, who was in white armor and green robe, stepped into the martial arts training ground of Qinglong Jinwozi, the temporary base of three thousand sharp troops in Zhenbo Prefecture, far away early in the morning.
Huang Huai, as the general who came to conquer the east this time to suppress the bandits, finally came with ease despite the repeated calls from everyone in the Sharp Army.
In fact, Huang Huai had already read the official document submitted to him by the Fengmang Army, and knew that they had followed the military disaster upstream this time because they happened to be nearby. At this time, they had not yet had time to ask for instructions from their headquarters, Fengmang Pass.
Fortunately, Huang Huai is here now. He is General Anhai from the neighboring government, plus General Zhengdong appointed by the imperial court. He leads 130,000 troops by land and water. This sharp army of 3,000 people is really incomparable to him.
The Edge Army wanted to withdraw as soon as possible. They didn't dare to think about the credit. They didn't even mention the benefits promised by the Zhenbo Prefecture magistrate. The family just wanted to get half of the reward offered by the Military Aircraft Department, which was 40,000 yuan.
Just pay it back with two Singapore dollars.
For Huang Huai, the battles were all fought by the elite troops. These three thousand people only needed half of the reward. The demand was really not high, and it could even be said to be quite pitiful. It would be unjustifiable to deny it.
But Huang Huai, with the two steel shadow guards behind him who were world-famous and never left his side, walked around the martial arts institute, looking here and there, humming and haha but not talking about business.
The three military academies of the Fengmang Army accompanying Huang Huai looked at each other in dismay.
This time the army was led by two captains, both junior and senior lieutenants. Their ranks were too low. At the moment, the highest-ranking officer in the army was still a civilian magistrate. Faced with this situation and a person as big as Huang Huai, the family really had a hard time coping.
not coming.
Everyone couldn't bear it any longer. Under the push of the two captains, Cao Dian had to stand up and make it clear: "General Rong, we have sacrificed more than 200 brothers in this suppression of bandits."
, there are nearly 800 casualties of various types, plus the 2,000 troops currently stationed here——
Um, that, um - what the villain means is that we don’t have much food and grass, and we want to go back as soon as possible. Please see if we can, if we can..."
Dian Cao even called out the word "General" in advance because he knew that with this contribution, General An Hai would definitely be promoted to "General" when he returned. It was better to call him "early" than "late".
Just because of his ability to wink, this Dian Cao was not a little bit better than the two junior colonels who were shocked by this.
I don’t know whether it’s because he’s good at flattering, or because Anhai General Huang Huai is just easy to talk to, so he answered every question and got straight to the point: “I will give you your money, but I can’t pay it all in one lump sum, so I can only pay it in advance.”
Give part of the money and make an IOU for the rest.
Although we are now in a golden nest, no one of us can mess with the country's money without authorization. And about the 80,000 stolen money, you said you brought nothing back except the heads of the bandits. The report says:
His whereabouts are unknown and he has not been found. Although I believe you, I am also in a dilemma."
Huang Huai's words were very reasonable, which made the three sharpshooters blush and feel embarrassed: "I'm sorry, General, it's just, just -"
"You are right. Our responsibilities are ours. We are all soldiers. I understand your difficulties. The brothers below are all looking at you three.
But you also need to know that I have a lot of follow-up work here, and I also need money and food, so I can only do my best to give you 10,000 yuan first, and at the same time write a letter to General Feng Tiexi to explain the situation. We will do the rest at the end of the year.
Can you give me more?"
Seeing that Huang Huai was so considerate and approachable, the three sharpshooters were flattered and hurriedly agreed.
"In addition, in addition to what I said, I also have some thoughts of my own, and I have prepared some food and wine for you. I thank you all for your generous action this time, and for doing it so neatly, so I want to meet you and give you some food and wine.
Let’s say a few words. You guys gather the brothers together, and when you’re done, you can bring the food and wine down there, so that you can eat well and go on your way, don’t you think?”
"Okay, let's go now!" Seeing the other party about to leave, Huang Huai said with a smile: "You try to call all the brothers here, because the wine and meat I brought this time are not much, they have to be distributed per head.
I won’t give it to anyone who didn’t come to see me!”
"Okay!" Seeing the two captains of the Sharp Army running away with the Dian Cao, the smile on Huang Huai's face faded instantly, replaced by icy cold eyes, and he rushed towards the two steel shadow guards behind him,
He nodded slightly.
The two steel shadow guards were covered in iron armor, even their eyes were blocked. They were as big as mountains, and both of them were first-class invincible warriors.
The two of them were almost in tune with Huang Huai. They immediately understood the master's look and soon set up tables, chairs and tea on the side of the martial arts arena behind the wall.
As soon as Huang Huai sat there, everyone gathered urgently in front of him. Not to mention, although the place where the shadow was facing the wall was facing the door wall, it was really a good position for the leader to speak to the crowd.
The members of the Sharp Army quickly formed a square formation. Everyone heard that they were here to receive wine and meat, so they did not bring weapons or armor, and their half-bare-armed outfit made it even more beautiful in the cold spring weather.
A bit like the mighty and majestic appearance of an iron army.
Someone reported that the sharp troops had arrived. Huang Huai stood up, clapped his hands three times loudly, and said loudly: "Listen outside, my people have arrived. Don't panic. I have prepared things for you.
It’ll be there in the blink of an eye!”
Everyone listened attentively, but what came from outside the door wall was a burst of orders: "Pull - lift - release!" and a murmur burst out in response.
The sharp soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles were all soldiers. When they heard this, they all exploded, "What are you doing?!" "This is the sound of shooting!" "They are going to kill us!" In the chaos, everyone looked up and saw in front of them.
It suddenly darkened, and arrows rained down from the sky!
Looking at Huang Huai in front, he stepped back and leaned against the wall behind the shadow. The two steel shadow guards kicked the table and chairs away and blocked Huang Huai's front. The arrows behind him simultaneously covered the sky and blocked the sun.
.
"Get out of the way!"
"Find something to block it!"
······
But it was too late. One wave of arrows had not yet landed, and there were second, third, fourth, and fifth waves behind it. The five rounds of arrows rained without interruption. Before this wave landed, another wave had already taken off.
There is no way to hide, not even an ant can escape!
