Chapter 819 Ni Lao Hong Is Here...

(PS: Coding is like that. After not touching the keyboard for a few days, the civet’s hands are actually rusty, and coding is a pain! Ahem, sorry, sorry, I’ll do the basics today and fight again tomorrow!)

The City Lord's Mansion, the original center of city administrative power, is now the gathering place for rebel leaders.

In the main hall, Josiah and more than a dozen senior officials of the Gray Army gathered around the thick mahogany table. They frowned slightly and looked at a large map on the table, listening to the report, "...here, here, and here. Counting the mountains and seas City, we have captured a total of seven cities so far. They correspond from end to end, forming a small strategic circle. There is no problem in defending the base... Of course, our current tactic is to attack, and continue to attack. So the problem is here, this is the enemy The main force of the Fang army is gathered here..."

The reporter was a thin general wearing armor. At first glance, he seemed a little weak, even a little wretched, but his gestures were full of iron-bloodedness that could not be concealed. This is a veteran with the nickname "Skinny Monkey", and he is also Frey's right-hand brother in life and death.

When generals are away, military orders will be ignored - this is common sense in war. But as mentioned before, the situation of the Gray Army is indeed a bit special. Frey was a quasi-marshal, and he was supposed to lead the army in the battle. It was inconvenient to report separately, so he had to let his old brother pass the news on his behalf.

"Kusei City... Hanshui City?" Looking at the two cities marked with many crossed arrows that the thin monkey pointed at, Josiah's eyes flashed slightly and he said softly.

"Yes." Thin Monkey nodded, picked up a quill on the side and added arrows on the two cities, "According to intelligence, the vanguard of Brannan's Tiger Roaring Corps, which was originally prepared to head to the front line, has already moved in. This is truly A battle-hardened division. Although its combat effectiveness has declined due to living in the south, it is different from the second-rate soldiers in the past, and it is not a small problem."

"The Roaring Tigers...reacted quickly enough..." Josiah and others did not know about the unusual movements in the Northern Wilderness on the front line. Upon hearing this, they thought it was their side who had launched an attack. Bran immediately mobilized regular troops to suppress it. Don't frown.

This is a strange misunderstanding, but it is naturally not good news for the Gray Army who have decided on the 'blitzkrieg' strategy. There was a moment of silence. A senior executive asked, "What is General Frey's plan?"

"Attack! Before the Tiger Roaring Legion really arrives, we must attack by force!" Without any hesitation, Shouhou clenched his fists, "Kusei and Hanshui are extremely important. As long as these two central cities are captured, the area will be within a hundred miles." For us, everything will be smooth sailing. By then, our preliminary strategic plan will also be achieved!"

This is an advantage. As for the disadvantage, it is naturally the casualties caused by the strong attack. After all, the Tiger Roar Legion is a regular legion no matter what. Even if there is a purple-bore cannon, a powerful weapon, it cannot replace the mainstream combat mode of close combat with high casualties.

This is also the reason why Shouhou came back to report. This kind of thing needs to be decided by Chief Josiah.

Without giving it much thought, the current Josiah was no longer the aristocratic lady with some illusions. She knew that if she wanted peace, she had to prepare for war first. She took a slight breath and waited for a decisive order. But at this moment,

"Chief, gentlemen."

Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged officer covered in armor standing outside the door looking over, as if he wanted to report something. Joshua recognized this as the commander of the guard here and nodded in surprise. The middle-aged officer stepped into the threshold, saluted and said: "Chief, there is a man named Ni Ni Lao Hong outside looking for him. He said he is an old acquaintance and has important information to report."

"Ni...Nilao Hong?" I have to say that this name is a bit weird, and it sounds like a curse at first. Not only was the middle-aged officer speechless, but everyone present was also stunned when he heard the words.

Thin Monkey looked at Josiah's confused expression, thought of something, his face became unsmiling, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, protect all the gentlemen and retreat!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately understood what Shouhou meant. As mentioned before, the strategy of two armies fighting to assassinate the leader is not new, but it is effective and can be easily imagined.

Bang, bang, bang, the sound of weapons being unsheathed was heard continuously, and the atmosphere in the main hall instantly became chilly. But at this moment, suddenly,

The hall went dark, "Oh, seeing how you repeatedly chanted it before, I knew it would be like this... It's your husband, not Ni Laohong, brother... ah! It's not your husband... Hey, forget it, It's better to go to Ni Laohong..." Stroking his forehead, a middle-aged man with slightly frosty temples appeared at the door of the main hall, looking at the middle-aged officer with wide eyes, looking a little helpless.

It goes without saying that the city lord's mansion is tightly guarded as the main camp that is now the habitat of the Gray Army's top brass. Although it is not perfect, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that there is a post at every three steps and a sentry at every five steps. But the middle-aged man suddenly appeared in the inexplicable sight of the two rows of guards beside the door, with his hand on his forehead and a look that he couldn't bear to look at... I have to say, this is really scary!

After a moment of silence, thunder suddenly broke out on the ground, "Evacuate!" The window lattice trembled, and they stepped forward and raised their guns, shouting to retreat. However, the skinny monkey covered in military uniform and armor seemed to be rushing towards the tiger. Before the words could be heard, the person had already arrived in front of the door. , roaring and waving a gun.

With a whoosh, the spear was like a whip or a fan, and a large iron-blooded wind instantly covered the main entrance area.

It's a swipe, not the fastest thrust!

Shouhou has experienced hundreds of battles and has rich combat experience. He knows that since the opponent can sneak here silently under everyone's nose, his strength must be unpredictable, at least not something he can resist. So his first choice was to sweep across a large area, not wanting to hurt the enemy, but just wanting to block it for a moment... Even if he stepped on his body, it would only last for a few seconds!

However, the next moment.

Putting down the palm that was covering his forehead, the corners of his mouth twitched. The middle-aged man looked helpless as he reached into the shadows of the guns... without mincing the scattered pieces of meat, the thin monkey shot with all his strength. It was actually delivered directly into the palm of the hand as if it was agreed upon, and it was firmly grasped, unable to move!

It's over... Feeling the unshakable power of the towering mountain at the other end of the spear, Slender Monkey's heart suddenly sank, knowing that the strength gap between himself and the opponent was too big, and he was not qualified to compete. However, without the slightest hesitation, he let go of the handle of the gun, stepped forward brazenly, and rushed towards him with a fist pump - this was to commit suicide in a complete sense!

"Haha..." He shook his head and chuckled. Seeing this, the middle-aged man also took a step forward. He bent his elbow to block the heavy punch of the thin monkey. With a bang, the faces of both sides were close at hand. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised and he whispered softly, "Although it has been a long time." No, but there’s no need to be so enthusiastic, Brother Skinny Monkey…”

"kindness?"

"stop!"

It sounds complicated, but in fact, it only took a moment from Shouhou's attack to the two of them confronting each other. At this time, Josiah's voice from behind finally came belatedly. Although he didn't stop Slender Monkey's attack, he finally stopped the subsequent attack by the guards at the door.

"Don't take action, if you're one of us." Pressing his palms, Josiah's expression was very excited, and his eyes flashed over him. These sharp words made the senior officials on the side look confused. It wasn't until he saw Slim Monkey raising his arms and retreating safely that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, before the guards and senior officials present turned their astonished gazes on the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, Josiah took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice: "There are some important things that need to be dealt with... Well, everyone, please step aside for now."

"Uh, leader..." The senior officials were not surprised when they heard this. The so-called everyone naturally included them.

Waving his hand to interrupt, Josiah's voice was still trembling, but his tone had become firm, "It's okay, don't worry... Let's just leave it like this for now, stand down!" After hearing this, the senior executives looked at Josiah in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and simply He saluted and slowly walked out of the door beside the middle-aged man.

Looking at these undisguised vigilant glances, the middle-aged man touched his nose and said, "Well, there are a few people outside who came with me..."

"Please come in!" Joshua waved directly to the middle-aged officer who came in to report just now.

"yes."

After the last person walked out of the main hall and left the door ajar, the middle-aged man patted the excited Thin Monkey on the shoulder, looked at Josiah who was walking around the table in a hurry, smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, sorry, sorry, miscalculation. , I came here hoping for a surprise, but I didn’t expect...well, at least I was surprised, right..."

Before he finished speaking, a figure rushed toward him. The middle-aged man quickly opened his arms to catch it and took half a step back. "Uh... what, I don't discriminate against fat people. You don't need to wear such a thick armor to cover it up, right?" …”

"Why are you here just now!"

"some things……"

"Why are you here just now!"

"Uh...sorry."

"Why are you here just now..."

"……I will not do it again……"
