Chapter 730 Chapter 730: Serial Fraud (Part 1) [2-in-1]
Such a troop of soldiers suddenly appeared in the dark night. Everyone was frightened when they saw it, but when they saw it clearly with the dots of firelight The flags displayed by the team relaxed the tense nerves.
The guard pointed in the direction of the flag and shouted: "It's the general!"
Looking carefully, he is really one of his own.
The defender hurriedly climbed down from the sentry tower and handed the news to the deputy general who defended the city. The deputy general drank a lot of yellow soup at this time, and the drunkenness crawled on his face. Hearing these words, he reluctantly cheered up, and used his martial energy to force the excess alcohol out of the body, and his eyes became much clearer.
"The general is back?"
He hurriedly put on his combat boots and armor.
The guards on the city wall briefly confirmed the identities of the soldiers and horses below the city, and ordered the soldiers at the city gate to open the door. A heavy creaking sound was heard, and the city gate opened. The deputy general and others were already waiting under the city cave. When they got closer, they could smell the bloody smell on the soldiers.
The deputy general asked the leader: "Why do you look like this?"
He knew this person, a brother from the general's hometown. He was not very strong, but he knew how to make trouble for others, and his skills in flattering people were excellent. Perfect. The general liked to take him with him wherever he went. Because of this, many soldiers looked down upon him. This man had no integrity.
"Having been out of the city for half a day, we encountered Shen Thief and his troops. After a fierce battle, we killed more than a thousand of them and captured two thousand." His armor was covered with blood, and the thick blood on his cheeks had long dried up, and his right arm He had a bag between his legs and wounds on his body.
The deputy general heard the words and said happily: "This is a good thing!"
The general's fellow countryman could not relax his eyebrows. He sighed: "This is naturally a good thing, but the two sides are fighting in a hurry, so that Thief Shen led his men to break through. The general was no match for the general, so he led us to escort the prisoners back."
The deputy general glanced at the soldiers' appearance casually.
Except for a few whose clothes were relatively clean, most of them looked like they were fished out of a sea of blood. They were gathered together, and the blood-evil aura that hit their faces made even a veteran like him want to cover his nose. The battle between the two sides is fierce. How many people have to die to achieve this level?
The deputy general asked: "What other orders does the general have?"
The general shook his head: "I have no orders. I just told the general to go back and take a good rest. In three to five days, he will be able to take off the head of the criminal thief." Ask the king for credit and reward.”
The deputy general had no doubts about him, because he saw several familiar faces in his team, all of whom the general liked. A eloquent mouth. He waved for them to go in: "Then let's enter the city first..."
The fellow general smiled flatteringly and motioned to follow.
The deputy general was in front, and after the war horse had taken a few steps, he followed and made an insinuation: "Did the general say what to do with the prisoners?"
The fellow general said: "I said I'll leave it to you to deal with."
Not all prisoners are used as "prey" for hunting. Usually, the generals of the army will be selected first to enrich their own forces, and the remaining The crooked melons and cracked dates are either cannon fodder at the bottom or doing the most painful and tiring corvee. This is a valuable resource.
Whoever chooses first will get the best.
Hearing this, the deputy general was delighted: "Seriously?"
The fellow general nodded: "Of course it is true."
Two thousand prisoners are still two thousand prisoners who can follow Shen Thief on a raid mission. The proportion of elites is definitely not low. When the deputy general thought about this, he remembered something and asked sharply.
"Where's the general?"
The fellow general's expression froze for a moment.
It’s just that the night is so dark that it’s hard to notice.
He replied: "The general led his troops to pursue the Shen thief."
The lieutenant general asked again: "How many people did you bring?"
A fellow general said: "A few hundred people."
The lieutenant general was worried and wished he could spread his wings and fly to the general's side to advance and retreat with him. His expression: "Confused! Why didn't you tell me earlier? How can hundreds of people deal with the remnants of the Shen thief?"
His harsh attitude is just for show, for people to see. When the general triumphs and learns about this, he will naturally Respect him more.
The general was at a loss for words, when a young man standing behind him suddenly spoke up and said proudly: "Why can't it be done? The general is so brave that even a simple thief must avoid his sharp edges, let alone a heavy thief. The army is demoralized and a few hundred people are enough!”
The lieutenant general didn't like people interrupting, so he walked over. The blood-stained eyebrows were a bit unfamiliar, and he probably hadn't seen them before. Judging by the way he is dressed, he is not an important person. He said displeasedly: "Humph, do you have a say here?"
The fellow general hurriedly pulled over the deputy general and winked.
The lieutenant general said: "What's the matter? Does this guy have a background?"
The general said: "He was the general's new recruit a while ago. The general is still warm to him, so of course you haven't seen him. Passed.”
First Lieutenant General Hearing this, he understood instantly. His thick black eyebrows were so thick that they could pinch mosquitoes, and there was contempt in his eyes: "Humph, even so, there is no place for him to interfere here. What does he know about fighting? A general is brave, but a thief is a thief." Cunning and cunning.”
In the view of the lieutenant, hundreds of people were still too few.
However, this happens to be the general's style of conduct.
He is very happy and stubborn.
As he spoke, all the soldiers and horses entered the city, and the prisoners were imprisoned. It was late at night, the lieutenant's buttocks were still warm from sitting, and he had just had a few sips of yellow soup when the fellow general came with the general's new love. He was in a good mood at the moment and was not unhappy about being disturbed while drinking: "What are you doing here?"
The fellow general said with a pale face: "I just closed my eyes and took a nap, and then I had a dream. The scene of the general falling into Thief Shen’s scheme was not only mine, but also his dream... If this is true... then what should I do..."
The deputy general said righteously: "It is unfounded to worry about the sky."
I couldn't help but beat the drum in my heart.
But the general's fellow countryman didn't think so. He said miserably: "We all rely on the general for our glory today. If the general really has some shortcomings... even death will not be enough to apologize..."
The deputy general felt unsure when he saw him like this.
At this time, the young man cupped his fists and said: "The deputy general is willing to lend me five hundred troops and horses, and I am willing to lead the troops to help the general."
The lieutenant general was naturally unwilling to borrow troops.
Just when I was about to say that this matter needed long-term consideration, a whistle and arrow suddenly sounded outside the city, and the three lieutenants hurried out. Outside the city, a bloody soldier came riding a horse. The city gate opened a gap just enough for one person and one horse, and then closed again.
"Report! Three hundred miles urgent!"
The soldier presented the last token with both hands.
The three people who saw the token were shocked. Among them, the deputy general had the most intense reaction, because this token was a general's thing that he was very familiar with. The soldiers sent a token and exciting news. The general and his troops had caught up with the remnants of Shen Thief. However, Shen Thief's troops faced a desperate situation and fought a last-ditch battle. The general could not stop them and needed reinforcements. .
The young man hurriedly said: "Let me go!"
But his request to fight was flatly rejected by the deputy general.
The young man said angrily: "Why don't you allow me?"
The deputy general looked at the young man's face with a smile, which revealed his handsome and handsome face after a little tidying up. No wonder the general is rare, but rare Gui Xiqi, how can you leave such an important matter of reinforcements to a thing? This is a good opportunity to make great achievements.
He has been here with the general for several years, and the benefits of getting his hands are getting less and less. It is a rare opportunity to make contributions, how can he leave others behind?
The deputy general sent the two men away with a few words, and then made a prompt decision and ordered more than 2,000 people to come out of the city to support them. His confidants were still responsible for guarding the city gate. As the city gate creaked open, the deputy general led his troops out of the city and left together with the messenger.
The general and the young man watched them off in the city.
Until the tail of the reinforcements disappeared, the young man's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the fellow general with his hands hanging by his side with a half-smile. The fellow general still had a smile on his face, but he was sweating wildly in his heart. He did not forget that this young man had no expression on his face as he crushed two colleagues who refused to comply with his bare hands. When the young man's fingertips were about to touch his neck, he begged frantically for mercy.
It’s not like I didn’t think about betrayal along the way. But he knew that with the young man so close to him, he could send him to Paradise as soon as possible when he showed any signs of strangeness. He is greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not act rashly. The young man told him to do whatever he was asked to do, and he did so obediently.
Result——
The deputy general and more than two thousand guardsmen were tricked out of the city by the young man.
The remaining soldiers and horses in the city were unable to resist without precautions. The overall situation was decided, and he could only choose to accept his fate.
Obviously, the young man is not satisfied with this.
The young man ordered him to pretend to be a general's order and change the guards in some important places overnight. Streets and government offices are top priorities. The guards didn't have much doubt. The general's reputation for cruelty was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the people below didn't dare to question it easily.
This caused the situation to change drastically before dawn.
The guards on the city wall saw "one of their own" smiling and showing off their weapons. If they resisted, they would kill them on the spot, and they were instantly stunned. My mind is filled with questions like "Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?" Who is carrying out the mutiny? ? ?
In the military camp, the resistance was quickly suppressed.
Before dawn, Lu Ji kicked off the flag on the city.
“Give it to your grandma and let me get down!”
Condensing martial energy on the flagpole in his hand, he stabbed it hard and it was done!
The flag has a big word "Shen" written on it!
In the morning, the vendors who came out to do business near the city wall vaguely felt that something was wrong today. After thinking about it for a long time, they couldn't figure it out, so they simply stopped thinking about it. After finishing his work, the vendor sat down to rest for a while. When he saw the flag on the city wall, he slapped his thigh.
"Oh, the flag is different."
A commoner who patronized the stall laughed and cursed: "You are a blind idiot, do you still know the words on the flag?"
Vendor: "I'm illiterate, but the colors are different!"
The common people who heard this also raised their heads and looked at the flags on the city wall. Hey, the colors of the flags are indeed different.
But what does this have to do with them?
One person said: "Maybe I thought the previous flag was not good-looking, so I ordered the embroiderer to get a new one. I was so busy."
A group of people were stunned and did not expect that the city would change hands. possible.
It’s no wonder that they didn’t expect that there was no movement last night. If the owner really wanted to change, they wouldn’t have to fight Todoroki all night? Not only the common people did not expect it, but also the small officials who came to work in the city government office did not expect that they would come to Dianmao as usual on this day...
What is really different?
Maybe there are some new faces in the government office.
There was also a young man sitting carelessly on the tiger-skin mat at the top, with a pile of opened letters scattered on the ground. The clerk in charge was so angry that he stepped forward to pull the young man up and shouted angrily: "Is this where you can sit?"
He was pinned down before he could touch the young man.
He twisted his hands behind his back, bent over and lowered his head, unable to lift it up.
The young man waved his hand and said: "Let him go."
"Wei."
The clerk regained his freedom with a confused look on his face, but the remaining strength in his arms The pain was not fake. He no longer dared to be unrestrained with the boy. He just stood on one side with a puzzled and trembling look on his face. Until the young man asked him: "Are you familiar with the government office?"
He continued to nod confusedly: "Familiar, familiar."
The young man waved to him: "Take two steps forward."
The young official did so timidly.
But the young man did not do anything to hurt him. He just asked some questions about the daily operations of the government office in a calm tone. The clerk happened to know all about it and answered them one by one. The young man of unknown origin in front of him frowned and cursed "trash".
He said again: "I understand, you can go down."
The clerk respectfully resigned in confusion.
It wasn't until he returned to the duty station and saw the different expressions of his colleagues that he was told that the city had been lost at some point and that they had a new leader. Colleagues looked at each other.
The same thought came to everyone's mind -
When did it happen? ? ?
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
The lieutenant general who led the troops out of the city was ambitious at first. Under the guidance of the messenger, he led the troops at full speed, hurrying and slowly, and finally arrived at the "trumpet". The traces of the fierce battle during the day were still there, and the sight of them made the lieutenant's blood boil.
He asked: "Is the general ambushing the thieves and soldiers here?"
The messenger said: "It's a pity that they escaped."
The wind was still mixed with the lingering smell of blood. The deputy general felt vaguely uncomfortable, but this discomfort was nothing compared to the benefits of military success. Urging the messenger to lead the way: "Without further delay, we should meet up with the general and the others as soon as possible to attack the sinking thief!"
Unexpectedly, the messenger could not go further after leading the way for a while.
Still looked at him and said: "It's right here."
The lieutenant general was impatient: "What's here?"
The messenger was sitting on horseback, and the dim shadows around him shrouded him. Body is cold. What's even more weird is that the messenger's body gradually blurs, becomes transparent, and dissipates with the wind.
There was only one sentence left that made the deputy general suddenly widen his eyes.
He said: "General, right here!"
Just six words made the deputy general shudder.
The alarm in his head suddenly sounded, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "No - it's a scam! The army should turn around quickly!"
However, they had already been led to the middle of the canyon by the messenger soldier, no matter what Whether to gallop forward or retreat, it takes a certain amount of time. He inadvertently cast his peripheral vision to the top of the valley. The black shadows that looked like human figures made him feel chilled.
Ambush!
In the blink of an eye, he thought of a fatal question.
Since this messenger is fake...
Are the fellow generals who returned from the victory also fake?
“Not good!”
The city is lost!
But, this is no longer what he can care about.
Above my head, there was a hail of arrows.
The shouts of killing came from all directions.
They are already the turtles caught in the urn!
(*￣︶￣)
Hehehehe, it’s a pity that there is no national anti-fraud APP in this world
