The moon is in the sky on a June night.

Under the moonlight, a line of black-clothed people appeared on the street, Zhu Wu sneaked into the city with a few soldiers, and then assigned all the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion lurking in the city to assign tasks

Among them, Zhu Wu led fifteen soldiers to deal with foreigners such as Rawell and Adams, with the purpose of capturing the heads of the four foreigners, and two other groups of people, one of which was to go to the governor's yamen, Ye Mingchen, to deal with Baigui; The last group was to contact Chen Qiankun, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and Chen Qiankun to respond to Li Zhen's army

After the task was issued, Zhu Wu took the special forces of the fifteen sharp knife battalions to run towards the place where the foreigners lived, and the places where Baoling, Bourlong, Adams and Rawell lived were not far from the governor's yamen, and there were countless foreign soldiers guarding the outside, and there were soldiers patrolling inside

Zhu Wu arrived with the soldiers and saw the place where Bao Ling and the others lived from a distance, and suddenly felt a headache

It's hard to even dive in

What is even more difficult is to capture Earl and others alive

"There are foreign soldiers patrolling outside the company commander's mansion to protect the mansion where we live, and it is difficult for us to enter," one of the soldiers who came with Zhu Wu said embarrassed, Zhu Wu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I'll go in quietly by myself first to see the situation."

After that, Zhu Wu alone took advantage of the soldiers patrolling outside the mansion to show the vacancy, but when he entered the mansion, Zhu Wu was startled, Zhu Wu entered the courtyard to determine that Raer and others were well guarded, among which the place where Raeer, Bao Ling and others lived was guarded by hundreds of soldiers, even if Zhu Wu had three heads and six arms, he couldn't find a chance to start

Zhu Wu's eyes rolled, considering other methods

Turn the tiger away from the mountain

With such a thought in Zhu Wu's mind, he found the warehouse where the grain was stored and set fire to the granary

"On fire, on fire"

The house shouted and shouted

With a smile on the corner of Zhu Wu's mouth, he thought that the soldiers of the granary were on fire, and the soldiers of the mansion would definitely go to the rescue, and the soldiers of the place where Lyear and others lived would also be transferred, but Zhu Wu quietly touched the place where Lyear and others lived, but he was disappointed again, and let the fire in the mansion burn, but the soldiers guarding the courtyard did not move, and did not take care of the place where the fire started

Zhu Wu was completely disappointed when he saw this

It is difficult for foreigner soldiers to shoot if oil and salt do not enter

In fact, this was an order set by Bao Ling and Bul Long, and the two knew that Li Zhen liked to carry out the task of beheading, because Ali Guo and Ai Tang were killed in this way, so the four of them were very careful and spent a lot of troops to protect their lives

Zhu Wu failed to succeed and had no choice but to withdraw

Before leaving, the soldier said that he could also win by taking Baigui

Zhu Wu nodded in agreement, but encountered a similar situation

In the courtyard where Bai Gui lives, it is also heavily guarded, and the birds can't fly in three steps, even if the flies want to go in, the chances of being caught alive are almost impossible with such a strict guard

Zhu Wu came with high spirits, but returned in disappointment

Back at the place where the Sharp Knife Battalion had settled in the city, two other groups of soldiers also returned

It's a pity that all the news brought back is bad news, none of them succeeded, Zhu Wu looked at the expressions of the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion, and felt that it was such a headache for the first time, and for the first time, he felt that it was so helpless and invincible, and the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion would encounter difficulties in completing the task

Disappointment to disappointment, Zhu Wu also had to report the news to the city

That night, Zhu Wu took a few soldiers out of the city and returned to the camp

After the account was raised, Li Zhen wore a brocade robe and summoned Zhu Wu alone, Li Zhen looked at Zhu Wu's lonely expression, and sighed in his heart, knowing that the situation was not good

This time it must be a disadvantage

Li Zhen immediately asked, "How did Zhu Wu do with the capture of Raywell, Adams, Bao Ling, and Bullong?" ”

Zhu Wu said in a low voice: "The return to the marshal was not successful"

Immediately, Zhu Wu told the situation of the place where Adams, Bao Ling and others lived, and also said that he set fire to attract soldiers, but he was unsuccessful, and finally reluctantly retreated

Li Zhen sighed: "I don't blame you for this failure, tell me about the other two ways."

"All failed"

Zhu Wu said helplessly when he heard this

"How is that possible?"

This time, Li Zhen was really stunned and felt incredible

Ye Mingchen was imprisoned in the governor's yamen and waited for Li Zhen to rescue the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion, after seeing Ye Mingchen, Ye Mingchen should use his own strength to help Li Zhen, as for Chen Qiankun, for the long-term consideration of the Heaven and Earth Society, he should also show favor to him, but everything did not develop according to speculation

Li Zhen was a mess in his heart and said directly: "What the hell is going on, tell me clearly"

Zhu Wu replied: "The soldiers sent to talk to Ye Mingchen reported that Ye Mingchen shirked that he was imprisoned in the governor's yamen, had no military power and no strength, and could only wait for the commander to rescue."

""

Li Zhen waved his sleeves and directly swept away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk, and stood up with a snort

Immediately, Li Zhen asked again: "What about Chen Qiankun?" ”

Zhu Wu replied again: "The soldiers saw Chen Qiankun, but Chen Qiankun also gave other reasons, Chen Qiankun said that Heaven and Earth would be continuously oppressed by Bai Gui, and it would be difficult to support Dashuai in a short period of time, so Tiandihui could only wait for Dashuai to break through the city and then cooperate with Dashuai."

“***”

Li Zhen couldn't help but scold after hearing this

Li Zhen didn't expect that Ye Mingchen, the imprisoned person, would refuse, nor did he think that Chen Qiankun would pretend to be a bystander, both of them were like this, Li Zhen's mood was terrible, he did not achieve the goal of capturing the thief and the king, nor did he complete the goal of winning over allies, Li Zhen still led the soldiers to be stationed outside the city, and still had to face the impregnable city of Guangzhou

Is it really going to be stormed?

Li Zhen sighed in his heart, but shook his head firmly

Li Zhen only had 5,000 soldiers under his command, and it was impossible to forcibly attack Guangzhou, because the cost of forcibly attacking Guangzhou was too great, not to mention that Li Zhen now only had 5,000 soldiers, that is, 10,000 or 20,000 people, and it was impossible to forcibly attack

The only way to take Guangzhou is to outwit it

p; Zhu Wu saw Li Zhen pacing back and forth in the big tent, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, although the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion are noble, they have already had the intention of dying, as long as the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion are aiming to kill Rayel and others, they will definitely be able to kill the foreign leaders, even if they die together, it is not a big deal."

Li Zhen shook his head again and again after hearing this

He could not have adopted such an approach

Immediately, Li Zhen waved his hand and said: "Zhu Wu, you are tired after a busy night, go and rest, tomorrow morning, I will gather all the generals to discuss countermeasures again."

"Yes"

Zhu Wu was also tired, so he went down to rest directly
