Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 701 Who is the Murderer?

The Tielanguan Fortress in the dark night is dormant among the mountains like a prehistoric beast. The huge black shadow makes one's heart palpitate, and the flames above the fortress are like the eyes of a giant beast.

The Hanhai soldiers in sharp clothes stood on the sentry post with a serious face. From time to time, a large group of patrols walked through the fort passage in neat steps, and the weapons and armor made a crisp sound of collision.

Under the majestic fortress, shrouded in darkness, countless black shadows are quietly approaching the fortress, lurking into the darkness under the wall of the fortress, waiting for the opportunity to do something.

In the darkness five miles away from Tielan Pass Fortress, the dark army was waiting silently, and their commander Mu Xue looked a little nervous.

Although Mu Xue once led the army to sneak attack on countless cities when he was in the Nanchuan Army, and has rich experience in attacking cities at night, the Tielan Pass Fortress is different from ordinary cities. Hanhai army.

Just like if a sneak attack is not successful, the defenders in the fortress will be frightened, and then they can only attack by force, which is something Mu Xue is very reluctant to do.

At the beginning, hundreds of thousands of elite troops from Hanhai marched under the Tielan Pass Fortress, and launched fierce attacks on the Tielan Pass Fortress again and again, with a loss of more than 10 people. The fortress was defrauded by Liu Wenwu's surrender.

If he wants to storm the Tielanguan Fortress now, Mu Xue believes that the Far East Fourth Army under his command will have to pay at least half of the casualties to break him. Now the Fourth Army is Mu Xue's direct line of troops in the Far East Uprising Army. Although the number is small, they are all trained according to the model of the Nanchuan Army, and he does not want to lose too much.

What's more important is that Muxue is now at odds with Zhao Yun, the commander-in-chief of the Far East Rebel Army. If he fails to capture Tielan Pass and the troops under his command suffer heavy losses, then his status in the Far East Rebel Army will drop sharply. He will live up to the task that Lin Chuan entrusted to him.

So this time, Muxue put all his bets on this night attack, and the more than 200 elite Far Eastern rebels who lurked into the city are the key to success or failure this time, but look at the vast sea above the fortress The defense of the army has not changed, Muxue feels a little more at ease, at least the people lurking in are safe for now.

"General, we will definitely succeed." Seeing Mu Xue pacing back and forth, looking agitated, Yang Jindou, head of the flag group, expressed relief.

Mu Xue looked at the huge black shadow lurking in the mountains in the distance, that is the Tielan Pass Fortress, and he sighed: "I hope it will be successful."

"Jin Dou, you take the Death Warrior Banner Group to move forward a bit. As soon as the gate of the fortress is opened, you must take the gate as soon as possible." Mu Xue ordered after thinking about it.

The Banner of Dead Soldiers is the elite trained by Mu Xue, most of them are composed of death row prisoners and slaves they rescued from the prison of the Hanhai people. Chaoqun had become a sharp knife in Mu Xue's hand.

And now the leader of this dead soldier's flag regiment is the sergeant Yang Jindou who Muxue brought out from the Nanchuan Army back then, but Yang Jindou has now been promoted from an ordinary sergeant to the flag regiment leader.

"General, don't worry, our Death Banner Regiment will definitely capture the gate of the fortress." Yang Jindou responded and was about to leave.

Mu Xue paused and called out to Yang Jindou to remind him: "Jin Dou, pay attention to your own safety and don't charge too far."

Yang Jindou turned his head and grinned at Mu Xue: "General, don't worry, I'll save it."

At the beginning, more than 50 officers and sergeants carefully selected from the Nanchuan Army followed Mu Xue into the Far East. After more than a year of fighting and fighting, there are only eight people left. Mu Xue and them fighting side by side in a foreign country are no longer the same. The relationship between them is like brothers in life and death, and he doesn't want to see them get hurt again.

Seeing Yang Jindou leading more than 1 people from the Banner of the Dead disappeared into the darkness, Mu Xuexia was restless and quietly waiting for the result.

It was already late at night when Gao Yang, the commander of Tielanguan Fortress, woke up. The marching blanket wrapped around his body had fallen to the ground. The robe was draped over his body, replacing the candle that was about to go out.

The command room became brighter again. He washed his face with cold water to make himself more sober. The high nervous tension these days made him not have a solid rest for a long time.

"Come here." Gao Yang shouted towards the guard outside the door.

A guard on duty at the door immediately entered the house in response: "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Did the patrol catch any prisoners? Why didn't they report to me?"

The guard replied: "Our brigade captain has already gone to inquire about the patrol team, but he hasn't come back yet."

Gao Yang frowned, looked at the dark night sky outside, and asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"About three hours."

Gao Yang's brows frowned even tighter. After sleeping for so long, it stands to reason that his confidant, the captain on duty, should have returned. Although the Tielanguan Fortress is huge, it is not possible to go there for such a long time.

"Send someone to look for it. Why haven't we heard anything about it for so long?" Gao Yang ordered the guards, and the guards quickly retreated.

Gao Yang walked out of the command room, put his hands on the cold fence, and looked down at the fortress. The fire was lit up, and the fortress patrol team was passing by on the street. Except for the whistling wind, there was nothing unusual.

Not long after Gao Yang returned to the house, the guards he sent rushed back in a hurry: "My lord, something happened."

Gao Yang suddenly stood up: "What happened?"

"Someone from the Third Division reported that more than a dozen corpses were found in a barracks on Liuyin Street. The corpse of our captain is also there."

"What?!" Gao Yang was taken aback, and then became angry: "Who did it!"

Although the position of the captain of the guards is only at the rank of the captain, he is Gao Yang's real confidant. He did not expect to be killed in the heavily guarded fortress, which made Gao Yang very annoyed.

Seeing Gao Yang get angry, the guard timidly replied: "People from the Third Division are still investigating, and they are not sure who the murderer is."

Gao Yang was pacing anxiously in the command room, his brain was running fast, more than a dozen Hanhai soldiers were killed, who was the murderer?

Now the Tielanguan Fortress is completely occupied by their Hanhai Army. According to the harsh military law of the Hanhai Army, if a brother fights, he must be beheaded. It must not be one of his own. Then there is only one possibility that they are the spies who sneaked into the fortress.

In addition to the three divisions of the Seventh Army that originally stationed in the fortress, part of the army of the fortress is the rout of the various urban areas that were gathered later. There are more than [-] people in total, and there are thousands of them. minion army.

These servants are an army composed of people who surrendered to the Hanhai Empire in the Far East to help the Hanhai army to fight. Gao Yang recruited them because of the lack of troops in the fortress.

"Give me an order to encircle the camp of the servants immediately." Now is the troubled time, and Gao Yang shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the fortress of Tielan Pass. He does not allow you to have hidden dangers in the city.

Gao Yang had great trust in the Hanhai army's own people, so after thinking for a while, he transferred the suspicion of the murderer to these servants. The spies who sneaked into the fortress must be among these servants, and he had already made a conclusion.

　Just a weak question, does anyone still read this book?
