Chapter 120: The 25th Banner Camp
Thirty miles north of Donghuang Town, the temporary camp of the 25th Banner Camp of Xingtu Army.
The cold moon shook the sky and the cool breeze was blowing. The sentry on duty at night was leaning against the camp fence with a spear, his eyes were blurred.
Suddenly, a violent vibration came from the earth, and iron hooves rumbled in the distance, and cavalry were galloping towards us. It was hard to see whether it was an enemy or a friend in the dark night.
"Warning! Alert!" The officers on duty in the camp hurriedly pulled out their battle knife and ran to the fence to shout. The soldiers who were sleepy just now were all awakened by the sound of horse hooves and gathered in a hurry.
In a moment, more than a hundred cavalry in black armor ran out of the darkness. They strangled the war horses outside the ground with an arrow. The sound of iron hooves suddenly stopped. A heavy pressure made the officers on duty pale.
The officer on duty stretched out the burning torch forward. With the light of the torch, he saw a group of murderous cavalry. Their faces were shining, their eyes were sharp, and they emitted a captivating light, like knights from hell.
"Who are you?!" The officer on duty mustered up his courage and shouted at the group of murderous cavalrymen.
The other party didn't say anything, and threw an iron military card over, which collided on the officer's armor, making a crisp sound of jingling.
The officer hesitated to pick up the military sign, which clearly stated "Lin Chuan, the commander of the First Corps of Xingtu Army."
"Ah, it's Lord Lin." The officer trembled and screamed in shock.
Lin Chuan is famous among the Xing Tu army. First, his troops are brave and good at fighting, and second, Lin Chuan himself is also strong in combat, and most people dare not fight against him.
"Is it Mr. Lin on the other side?" Although the other party handed over the military sign, the officer on duty still did not dare to let it go and asked with confirmation.
Lin Chuan replied in a deep voice: "I am Lin Chuan, I order you to open the camp gate."
"Okay, okay, open it right away." The officer on duty was originally from Lin Chuan's command. At this moment, he heard Lin Chuan's voice and he was about to order the camp gate to be opened.
"Can't open!" At this time, an officer with a gloomy face said coldly.
The officer on duty explained: "It's Lord Lin, not the enemy."
The officer with a gloomy face pulled out his combat knife and put it on the neck of the officer on duty and threatened: "I said I can't drive it, so I can't drive it!"
The officer on duty struggled to question: "Liu Hu, what do you mean?!"
Swish! Suddenly, a sharp arrow came from the darkness, piercing through the throat of the officer who stopped the door from opening, and the hot blood sprayed the officer on duty.
"I order you to open the camp gate in the name of the commander of the First Corps."
Lin Chuan's cold voice came again in the darkness.
Although the sudden change made the officer on duty feel confused at this moment and had no idea what was going on, the nature of the soldier still made him decide to obey the commander's orders. Moreover, he was once from Xing Tujun, so he naturally became more inclined to Lin Chuan's orders.
With the creaking sound, the camp gate was opened. Lin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief in the darkness, activated the war horses and led the black cavalry into the crowd.
The black cavalry all came down from the front line of Donghuang Town, and before they could even replace their bloody armor, their eyes were sharp and their bodies were filled with a heart-pounding murderous aura, cold and bursting.
Lin Chuan stopped in front of the officer on duty and asked condescendingly: "Official officer, please report your name and position?"
When the officer on duty saw Lin Chuan asking in person, his eyes suddenly showed excitement, his feet were snapped together, and he straightened his body and saluted Lin Chuan.
He replied loudly: "Tiger teeth, the 25th Banner Camp has a hundred people."
"I used to serve as the leader of the second flag regiment," added Huya, an officer on duty.
Lin Chuan nodded with a smile. It turned out that he was born under his command, so no wonder he opened the camp gate despite his opposition.
"The tiger teeth are a hundred people. Now there has been a rebellion in the 25th Banner Battalion. I ask you to lead your troops to quell the rebellion immediately."
"Ah?" Huya was stunned, not knowing what had happened.
However, when facing Lin Chuan's firm gaze, Huya immediately replied: "Sir, obey the order."
"Very good" Lin Chuan nodded, waved his hand, and continued to head towards the main tent in the camp with the black cavalry. After Huya was stunned for a moment, he followed with a hundred Xingtu soldiers under his command.
The tent of the commander of the 25th Banner Battalion is easy to judge, because there is a small black flag on it, which is also a unique regulation among the Xingtu Army, which is convenient for scouts and commanders to find the officers as soon as possible.
"Who!" Soon, the black cavalry arrived outside the tent of the flag camp commander without any obstacles, but the soldiers guarding here blocked their way.
"I am Lin Chuan. I want to see your commander and let him come out and answer."
When he heard Lin Chuan's self-reporting home, the escort officer guarding outside the camp looked one side, and suddenly a trace of anger flashed across the corner of his mouth. He pulled out the battle knife and shouted: "He is not Lin Chuan, there is an assassin!"
As he said that, the guard officer had already jumped up, and the sharp sword was heading straight for Lin Chuan like lightning in the darkness.
A sneer flashed across Lin Chuan's mouth. It seemed that there was really something wrong with the Twenty-Five Banners.
Bang! Without Lin Chuan's action, the thunderstorm beside him had already hit the chest of the guard officer who was rushing towards him. With a click, the guard officer's chest collapsed, like a falling stone, and fell to the ground with a bang, without any rest.
"Kill them all!" Seeing dozens of guard soldiers pulling out their swords, Lin Chuan gave a cold order.
Pupp pupp! With a rain of arrows, all the guards who showed fierce faces and wanted to kill them fell into a pool of blood.
"Huya, go and send an order. Please ask all soldiers to return to the camp without making any moves. If anyone moves, he will be killed without mercy!" Lin Chuan ordered with murderous intent.
"Sir!" Huya saw the guard officer's performance at this moment, and he had guessed that something was wrong, so he took people straight to the camps everywhere without hesitation.
Lin Chuan turned over and dismounted, walked towards the camp in blood, and wanted to see what was going on.
Just as Lin Chuan was about to open the tent, two swords roared towards Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan looked shaking, his body was already leaning back, avoiding the attacking sword.
Puchi! The Xing Tu soldier who was following Lin Chuan rushed in, and with a few screams, a light lit up in the military tent.
Thunderstorm lifted the military tent and walked out, with a trace of blood on his face, "Sir, it's safe."
Lin Chuan stepped into the tent of the commander of the 25th Banner Battalion. The five people who had just attacked him had turned into cold corpses. In the tent, several Xingtu soldiers were standing around, and blood was still dripping from their swords.
In the corner of the camp, there was a foul smell, and there were several unrecognizable corpses piled up.
"It's the commander of the 25th Banner Battalion." Thunderstorm reported after checking.
At this moment, all the officers who fought to the world and surrendered to the rebel army killed the commander and wanted to control the army, but they had no prestige and could only conceal the news and attempt to slowly eliminate the officer Xing Tu in the army to achieve the goal of controlling the army. However, with Lin Chuan's arrival, their conspiracy was penetrated.
"Give Huya an order to arrest all officers surrendered to the rebel army and implement them immediately." Lin Chuan ordered.
"Sir, Obey the Order" Lei Shao knew the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly opened the military account and went out to pass the order. (To be continued)
