In the next ten days, there was no movement from the Zhou army. They were busy building a large number of assault vehicles. The assault vehicles had a simple structure and did not require professional craftsmen. Many veterans of the Yongxing Army could recall that they were
How to build these bulky battle weapons.
And Liu Ling didn't know anything about Zhou Jun preparing such a thing. Quite simply, since Zhou Jun was recruiting new soldiers on a large scale, it would be a big joke if the secret spies of the Overwatch Council couldn't take advantage of the opportunity to sneak away.
Perhaps in this era, Liu Ling is the person who values intelligence the most. Therefore, he will spare no effort to create a terrifying team of secret agents. It can be said that the current supervisory guards are all-pervasive.
The Monitoring Guard now has a complete training system for secret agents. It is no longer an amateur team put together by those masters in the world. The composition of personnel, the transmission of information, how to infiltrate, how to evacuate, how to hide oneself, how to approach secrets, how to
Carrying out sabotage, these things are now done by the surveillance guards with ease, and they are not unfamiliar at all.
In contrast, most of the forces in this era, such as Xie Jun, are still at the point where they only send out scouts to find out information about the enemy before the battle. Few of them will make great efforts to cultivate a large number of professional talents and infiltrate early.
to obtain information from inside the enemy. Xie Jun knew that Liu Ling was going south, but he only sent more scouts to closely follow the movements of Liu Ling and Han's army. In his mind, the most important thing was that the intelligence had not yet been formed.
This concept.
Therefore, while Xie Jun knew nothing about the Han army's defensive measures, his every move was even watched by the Overwatch Council spies. At this time, an important piece of information was placed on Liu Ling's desk.
There are only two words at the beginning of the case and the information, but these two words are of great significance.
Tiger Guard.
Tiger Guard is the title of the one hundred and twenty personal guards around Xie Jun. These one hundred and twenty Tiger Guards are all very skilled. Even Zhao Da, among eight silver-clad shadow guards and one gold-clad shadow
Under the protection of the Tiger Guard, he still received the almost fatal knife. The Tiger Guard has no specific leader, because the direct commander of the Tiger Guard is Xie Jun himself! Judging from the intelligence obtained by Zhao Dahe’s spies, Xie Jun himself is
A supreme master!
The golden-clothed shadow guard whose skill was comparable to that of Nie Rendi's brother died under Xie Jun's sword! One hundred and twenty Tiger Guards all used two-handed heavy swords, which were as heavy as Mo Dao. But it was
It is even more powerful than Mo Dao, with double fronts and wide blades, capable of killing tigers and leopards!
The two-handed heavy sword of Hu Wei weighs fifty or sixty pounds. It is made of hundreds of refined steel, thick and sharp. An ordinary horizontal sword can be cut off by the heavy sword in one contact.
With the protection of these 120 Tiger Guards, Xie Jun was even sure of escaping by fighting his way out of the thousands of troops.
The reason why Liu Ling is becoming more and more interested in Tiger Guards is because just last night, ten Tiger Guards sneaked into the Han army camp, accurately found his Chinese army tent, and prepared to assassinate him. If Liu Ling hadn't now
If there are experts like the clouds around Ling, even with his own skills, he may not be able to stop the joint attack of the five Tiger Guards. The Tiger Guards work in a group of five people and cooperate with each other to kill the enemy. The power is amazing. In terms of skill, the Tiger Guards alone
A person's combat power may be far inferior to Liu Ling's, but five people together can exert extraordinary power.
The ability of these Tiger Guards to sneak in the dark is very outstanding. They were able to avoid the intensive patrols of the Han army and quietly reached Liu Ling's army's tent fifty meters away! Fortunately, when it comes to their ability to lurk in the dark and assassinate, the Supervisory Yuan
The assassins everywhere and the guards at six are the kings in the darkness!
But what Liu Ling didn't expect was that the more than two dozen guards from the Sixth Division of the Overwatch Council could not stop the joint attack of ten Tiger Guards! Although these Sixth Division guards placed on the periphery were not real masters, you need to know
Yes, being able to enter the Sixth Office of the Overwatch Council is itself a symbol of strength!
Through observation, Liu Ling discovered that the secret of these Tiger Guards' amazing combat power lies in their seamless cooperation. Judging from the attacks launched by these ten people, these people have lived and practiced together for at least five years. Only those who have been together for a long time can
Only by performing tasks and training can the coordination be used so skillfully and sharply.
Even so, with the strength Liu Ling has at his side, it is not difficult to kill these ten Tiger Guards. With the two brothers Nie Rendi and Nie Renwang joining forces, it is not impossible to kill these ten people. But Liu Ling
He did not immediately order the killing of these ten Tiger Guards, but ordered the guards and soldiers of the Sixth Division to constantly test the Tiger Guards' cooperation methods. He needed to understand the Tiger Guards' fighting methods in detail, and only by knowing himself and the enemy could he be invincible in every battle. Since they have already
If you send someone to kill someone, wouldn't it be rude if you don't kill them back?
If you want to fight back, you must understand the Tiger Guard!
Nie Rendi, who was beside Liu Ling at the time, praised: "What a sharp cooperation. These assassins are only second-rate in terms of personal cultivation, but the combat power of ten of them combined is far beyond what ten second-rate warriors can put together."
Than."
King Nie said: "No wonder even the commander was seriously injured. Eight silver-clad and one gold-clad, any one of them can easily kill a Tiger Guard. But if faced with a formation of thirty Tiger Guards
, I’m afraid I won’t get any benefits.”
Liu Ling asked: "If you two are allowed to sneak into the Zhou army camp and kill Xie Jun, how sure are you?"
Nie Rendi said: "My two brothers join forces and can ensure their escape from the formation of up to thirty Tiger Guards. If you want to kill people, it will be difficult. After all, Xie Jun himself is a master who is not weaker than my two brothers."
.Coupled with the one hundred and twenty Tiger Guards, if you want to kill him, you will have to call in all the twelve gold-clad members of the Overwatch Council."
The Overwatch Council originally had Thirteen Golden Clothes, known as the Thirteen Flying Eagles of the Overwatch Council. However, when Zhao Da was preparing to assassinate Xie Jun in Yongzhou, one of them was killed, and now there are twelve more.
This is of course impossible. Although beside Liu Ling, there are four other people in golden clothes lurking in the dark in addition to the Nie brothers. Even the Nie brothers don't know who the other party is. But there are still two
Jin Yi is with Zhao Da, two are in Taiyuan Prefecture, one is in Kaifeng, and one is in Datong. These most powerful Jin Yi in the Supervisory Yuan all have their own important missions, and it is impossible to give up everything just to assassinate Xie Jun.
task.
If the Twelve Golden Clothes of the Overwatch Council were gathered together, what a huge fighting force it would be?
However, it is difficult for these twelve people to come together to carry out a mission. In Kaifeng, the two Jinyi in Datong have far more important things than assassinating a Xie Jun. The two Jinyi in Taiyuan Prefecture will soon
Setting off for Xingqing Mansion, what they want to do is earth-shattering events.
In the end, the ten Tiger Guards who assassinated Liu Ling were killed by the Nie brothers. In order to obtain the most direct information about the Tiger Guards, the Nie brothers teamed up with many guards from the Sixth Office of the Overwatch Council and Liu Ling's personal soldiers, who had been beaten to many wounds.
Even so, killing these ten Tiger Guards gave the Nie brothers a huge headache.
“Almost impeccable coordination.”
Nie Rendi said as he wiped the blood off his sword.
Facing the ten Tiger Guards, they no longer used knives, but swords.
"Invincible?"
Liu Ling smiled, already thinking about it.
That night, a secret order from Liu Ling was sent to the many spies lurking in the Zhou army camp through the secret channel of the Overwatch Council. The secret order laid out a plan in detail, but the instructions only had three words: kill the general!
Kill, general!
Chess terminology.
The general may not necessarily be killed, but it can give the opponent a huge headache.
Another meaning of killing a general is definitely killing people, but this general is not that general.
Beginning on the night of August 28, the second year of Datong in the Han Dynasty, mid-level officers of the Zhou Army began to die mysteriously one after another. This was the strategy Liu Ling formulated. Since Xie Jun could not be killed, he would change the target and set the assassination target on
Those mid-level or even high-level generals who have weak defenses around them. If one of these people dies, Xie Jun will feel pain.
In four days, thirteen of the Zhou army's captains died, six generals died, and one general died. The general who died was Xia Houle, known as the second best in the Yongxing army!
Xie Jun was angry, really angry. He ordered a thorough investigation of the Zhou army camp and arrested all suspects. However, most of the hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops were recruits recruited from Yongzhou, Shangzhou, and Qianzhou.
Finding suspects among these people is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The corps commander must know the five soldiers under him, and the commander also knows his two corps commanders. And the centurion knows his men.
It is not difficult to have ten commanders. But the key is, who can guarantee that there are no spies of the Han army hidden among these low-level officers below centurion level?
The only effect of the high-profile manhunt was that the new recruits of the Zhou army began to feel insecure and the morale of the army was in chaos.
In this series of assassinations, the assassins from all over the Overwatch Council played the greatest role. They infiltrated the Zhou army when they were recruiting troops in Yongzhou, and some of them did reach the position of centurion. Although they were above the rank of thousand-centurion
They are all old men of the Yongxing Army, but among these commanders and generals who command the new soldiers, who can tell which of their subordinates is an assassin?
The large-scale manhunt was still in progress, and during this period, three more thousand captains died inexplicably. Xie Jun beheaded all the three thousand captains' soldiers in anger, but in this way, in addition to making the Zhou army soldiers even more panic
It can't be done all day long, and it has no positive effect at all.
Xie Jun had no choice but to send his Tiger Guards in groups of five to protect their safety. At the same time, he ordered the recruits to report each other.
Recruits who testify will be killed without mercy!
When Liu Ling learned the news, she smiled lightly and wrote four words on the rice paper with great interest.
