Under the moonlight, a group of men in black appeared on the street. Zhu Wu sneaked into the city with a few soldiers, and then gathered all the soldiers from the Sharp Saber Battalion lurking in the city together to assign tasks.
Among them, Zhu Wu led fifteen soldiers to deal with Russell, Adams and other foreigners, with the purpose of capturing the leaders of the four foreigners. There were also two groups, one of which went to the Governor's Yamen to ask Ye Mingchen to deal with Baigui;
The last call was to contact Chen Qiankun, the chief rudder of the Tiandihui, and ask Chen Qiankun to coordinate Li Zhen's army.
After the mission was issued, Zhu Wu led fifteen special forces from the Sharp Knife Battalion and rushed towards the place where the foreigners lived. The place where Bao Ling, Burlon, Adams and Rahel lived was not far from the governor's office, and there were countless foreigners outside.
Guarded by soldiers, there are also soldiers patrolling inside. It can be said that it has three layers inside and three layers outside. It is wrapped like a rice dumpling, and it is almost impossible to find a gap to attack.
Zhu Wu arrived with his soldiers and saw where Bao Ling and others lived from a distance, and suddenly felt a headache.
In such a situation, it is difficult to even sneak in.
What is even more difficult is to capture Russell and others alive. It is even more difficult.
"Company Commander, there are foreign soldiers patrolling outside the mansion and protecting the mansion where we live. It is difficult for us to enter." One of the soldiers who followed Zhu Wu said in embarrassment,
Zhu Wu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I'll sneak in quietly first and see what's going on."
After that, Zhu Wu took advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers patrolling outside the mansion to sneak into the mansion. However, after entering the mansion, Zhu Wu was startled. After Zhu Wu entered the courtyard, he identified Russell and others.
The people were heavily guarded. Among them, the place where La Er, Bao Ling and others lived was guarded by hundreds of soldiers. Even though Zhu Wu had three heads and six arms, he could not find a chance to attack.
Zhu Wu rolled his eyes and considered other methods.
Tune the tiger away from the mountain.
With this thought in his mind, Zhu Wu found the warehouse where grain was stored in his house, and lit a fire in the granary.
"It's on fire, it's on fire."
There were shouts and shouts everywhere in the house.
There was a smile on Zhu Wu's lips, thinking that if there was a fire in the granary, the soldiers in the house would definitely go to the rescue, and the soldiers from the place where Rachel and others lived would also be transferred. However, Zhu Wu quietly touched Rachel and others
The place where I lived was once again disappointed. Even though the fire burned in the house, the soldiers guarding the yard remained motionless and paid no attention to the place where the fire broke out.
When Zhu Wu saw this, he was completely disappointed.
The foreign soldiers lacked fuel and salt, so it was difficult for them to take action.
In fact, this was an order that Bao Ling and Burlong had made early. They knew that Li Zhen liked to perform beheading tasks, because this was how Aliguo and Aitang were killed, so the four of them were very careful and spent a lot of time.
Use your own strength to protect your own life.
Zhu Wu failed to succeed and had no choice but to retreat.
Before leaving, the soldiers said that they could win by taking Baigui.
Zhu Wu nodded in agreement, but encountered a similar situation.
The courtyard where Bai Gui lived was also heavily guarded, with one sentry every three steps and one post every five steps. Not to mention the birds couldn't fly in, even the flies couldn't get in. With such a tight guard, the chance of being captured alive was almost impossible.
Zhu Wu came in high spirits, but returned disappointed.
Returning to the place where the Sharp Saber Battalion settled in the city, the other two groups of soldiers also returned.
It's a pity that all the news he brought back was bad news. None of them were successful. Zhu Wu looked at the expressions of the soldiers from the Jiandao Battalion. It was the first time he felt such a headache. The first time he felt so helpless. The invincible soldiers of the Jiandao Battalion. , unexpectedly encountering difficulties in completing tasks.
Disappointed, Zhu Wu went out to the city to report the news.
That night, Zhu Wu led several soldiers out of the city and returned to the camp.
After the promotion, Li Zhen wore a brocade robe and summoned Zhu Wu alone. Li Zhen looked at the lonely look on Zhu Wu's face, and felt a thump in his heart, knowing that something was wrong.
This time, it was definitely a bad start.
Li Zhen immediately asked: "Zhu Wu, how did you go about capturing Russell, Adams, Bao Ling and Burlon?"
Zhu Wu said in a low voice: "Replying to the commander-in-chief, we failed."
Immediately, Zhu Wu told the situation about the place where Adams, Bao Ling and others lived, and also said that he had set fire to attract soldiers but failed, and finally retreated helplessly.
Li Zhen sighed: "This failure is not your fault. Let's talk about the situation of the other two routes."
"All failed."
Zhu Wu heard this and said helplessly.
"How can it be."
At this time, Li Zhen was really shocked and felt incredible.
Ye Mingchen was imprisoned in the Governor's Yamen, waiting for Li Zhen to rescue him. After the soldiers from the Sharp Blade Battalion met Ye Mingchen, Ye Mingchen should use his own strength to help Li Zhen. As for Chen Qiankun, for the long-term consideration of the Tiandihui, he should also show his kindness to him. , However, everything did not develop as expected.
Li Zhen's heart was in a mess and he said directly: "What's going on, tell me clearly."
Zhu Wu replied: "The soldiers sent to talk to Ye Mingchen reported that Ye Mingchen refused and was imprisoned in the governor's office. He has no military power and strength and can only wait for the commander to rescue him."
"shit."
Li Zhen waved his sleeves and swept away the pens, inks, paper, inkstones, etc. on the desk, and stood up angrily.
Immediately, Li Zhen asked again: "Where is Chen Qiankun?"
Zhu Wu replied again: "The soldiers met Chen Qiankun, but Chen Qiankun also gave other reasons. Chen Qiankun said that the world will be continuously oppressed by Bai Gui, and the strength is insufficient and it will be difficult to support the commander in a short time. Therefore, the world will We can only wait for the commander to break the city and then cooperate with him."
"What a dog."
After hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but cursed.
Li Zhen did not expect that Ye Mingchen, the imprisoned person, would refuse, nor did he expect that Chen Qiankun would just sit back and watch. This was the case for both of them. Li Zhen was in a terrible mood. He did not achieve his goal of capturing the thief and the king, and he also did not expect that the imprisoned person would refuse. Without completing his goal of winning over allies, Li Zhen still led his soldiers to station outside the city, and still had to face the impregnable city of Guangzhou.
Do we really want to attack by force?
Li Zhen sighed in his heart, but shook his head firmly.
Li Zhen only has 5,000 soldiers under his command, so it is impossible to attack Guangzhou by force, because the cost of attacking Guangzhou is too high. Not to mention that Li Zhen only has 5,000 soldiers now, even if it is 10,000 or 20,000 people, it is impossible to attack Guangzhou by force.
The only way to capture Guangzhou is to outwit it.
Seeing Li Zhen pacing back and forth in the tent, Zhu Wu said in a deep voice: "Sir, although the soldiers of the Jian Dao Camp are elite, they have already been willing to die. As long as the soldiers of the Jian Dao Camp kill Rael For the purpose of waiting for others, we will definitely kill the foreign leader. Even if we both die together, it is not a big deal."
After hearing this, Li Zhen shook his head repeatedly.
It is impossible for him to adopt this method.
Immediately, Li Zhen waved his hand and said: "Zhu Wu, you have been busy all night and are tired. Go down and rest. Tomorrow morning, I will summon the generals to discuss the countermeasures again."
"yes."
Zhu Wu was also exhausted, so he went down to rest.
