Rebirth of the Phoenix

The shocking robbery case

After walking for half a cup of tea, the team marched into a forest with shade on its head, which made the soldiers who had been exposed to the scorching sun relax, squinted their eyes slightly, slowed down their pace, and thought

Enjoy the shade and breeze for a while.

Suddenly, a familiar sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air sounded, and countless sharp arrows shot from all directions. Before they could react, they penetrated deeply into the horses under their crotch.

The horses were suddenly frightened and injured, and they lost control, neighed and ran without purpose, and scattered with their horse owners.

"There are assassins! Everyone gathers around to protect the supplies--" the leading officials and generals shouted.

However, all the officials and generals rode on horseback, and the horse was frightened and could not control it anymore. Where could they stop as long as they wanted?

"Everyone dismounts, guards the carriage, and is not allowed to go anywhere!" The generals are still experienced. They turn over and dismount before the horse under their crotch runs far away. They are still in chaos and command the soldiers to surround the carriage.

Most of the soldiers were walking. Except for a small number of people who were hit by horses and injured, most of them were trained to rush around the carriage with poison, light up their weapons, and look around them with vigilance.

The team has not been packed up yet, and the second wave of arrow rain has arrived again.

The soldiers waved their knives and cut arrows one after another.

"The troops are divided into two groups, guarding the carriages and searching the surroundings. Be sure to find the assassin and kill them without any hesitation!" a general shouted.

At the same time, several soldiers rode fast horses and rushed out of the forest, heading towards the school military field, preparing to bring reinforcements.

However, they didn't run far away, and someone had been waiting in the dark, and as soon as they ran out of the woods, they were killed.

In the woods, the attacked elite soldiers were preparing to search for it, but a group of people suddenly fainted. They didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't even wake up.

Finally, a general realized something was wrong and whispered: "The tea and watermelon just now have been medicine! Everyone should not drink the tea that they just made! Stay next to the carriage with discomfort, and do not act casually-"

If those soldiers who were drugged walk around casually, not only will they hinder their own actions, they will easily die, and it is better to stay where they are.

Because of this order, the soldiers quickly divided into two groups, one group stayed and the other group searched for the assassins.

However, I could only hear a few "boom--" sounds, and a few explosives with not very powerful explosions exploded in different directions.

The explosion did not cause huge casualties, but the smoke was very thick and spread rapidly. Soon, the entire forest was filled with smoke that made it difficult to breathe.

The breathing was not smooth and the sight was not clear, so the soldiers could not search.

In the chaos, someone shouted: "The assassin is there - everyone chase after me!"

After all, these soldiers were well-trained. They looked in the sound and saw a group of men in black snatching a carriage over there. They suppressed the discomfort and inconvenience caused by the smoke of gunpowder, and rushed over there.

The man in black killed him into a ball.

After a while, someone on the other side shouted loudly: "You can drive the carriage away quickly. As long as you leave this forest, it will be safe!"

"If you are not feeling well, don't move around. Let the carriage go first. After returning to the barracks, call reinforcements to come. There are not many assassins. Don't be afraid, hold on first..."

In the chaos, a group of agile elite soldiers jumped onto the carriage, grabbed the reins, and left: "Don't block the road, send the equipment to the military camp first, otherwise if something goes wrong with the equipment, we will all die..."

A general rode a horse and rushed forward: "Come with me!"

More than a dozen carriages followed the general, and others saw that they were leading the way and gave way.

After the general led a dozen carriages out of the forest, he ran all the way, ran far away before stopping and turning back.

The carriage was full of equipment, and the speed was not as fast as a single riding, and it took a while to catch up.

When he arrived here, there was no assassin or smoke, and his vision was clear. The leader finally calmed down and shouted: "You go faster so that the assassin will catch up!"

A soldier rushed to him quickly, reached out and pointed forward, and shouted: "General, look, what is that?"

The general did not doubt that he was, so he looked forward.

There is nothing ahead.

Suddenly, he shivered and realized something was wrong. However, he realized it was too late. He only felt that the back of his neck hurt, and his eyes turned dark and he fell down.

When he landed on the ground, before he fell into a coma, he saw the soldier on his horse, his face was black and his facial features were difficult to tell.

Although he did not recognize all the soldiers who participated in the trip, he could be sure that this soldier was definitely not a soldier in the team.

This soldier... should be pretending...

And those who drive the carriage... should also be pretending...

He fell into a trap! It was over! He wailed in his heart and completely fainted.

When the soldiers immediately saw him faint, they turned around and waved their hands. More than a dozen carriages immediately left.

More than an hour later, the guards at the school military field received the news and finally arrived in the forest.

This forest has become quiet.

There were still unconscious soldiers lying on the ground, some wounded were sitting on the ground and gasping for respite. Some soldiers were still looking for the lost horses, but more than half of the soldiers were safe and almost no one died.

Those who died were not killed, but were trampled by horses or accidents arise in chaos.

Thirty-eight carriages, twelve cars were missing, and the losses seemed to be not particularly large. However, the twelve carriages were equipped with the most exquisite, latest weapons and armor!

General Tan looked at everything in front of him and his face turned blue.

Obviously, the other party came for the most exquisite equipment!

The other party's purpose was not to kill people, so the other party did not shoot and kill horses that were transported, did not kill the soldiers, and did not fight in love, so they drove the twelve carriages and ran away while the chaos.

The other party must have investigated in advance, how much military supplies to be escorted this time, how to load the car, the departure time, where is the best place to start, how to disperse the escort personnel, and how to take the carriage away...

Although others called "Tan Xiao General", his military rank was "Lieutenant General". Because his father was the general, he was called "Tan Xiao General" in order to distinguish it from "Tan Xiao General".

As a lieutenant general, he would not be easily overwhelmed by anger. After asking what happened, he quickly arranged: "You drive the remaining twenty-six carriages back, you carry the wounded soldiers back, you search

At the scene, see what clues are left by the thieves. Go and investigate those tea shops..."

After all the work under his subordinates was arranged, he said to several close confidants: "Let's go back to the city and investigate the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue to see who is inquiring about this batch of supplies recently, and who is secretly tampering with the

.”

The other party must have gone through very careful investigation and careful arrangements, otherwise it would be impossible for the snatch to be so smooth!

If the other party wants to investigate this, he will definitely not be able to avoid the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue. When he goes to these two departments to investigate, he can always find some clues!

When he arrived in the city, his personal soldiers found a robbed carriage in the wilderness five or six miles away from the forest. The carriage was filled with stones.

Then, in the mountains five or six miles away, I found a car filled with cow dung...

After repeated this, I found a carriage every few miles. The carriage was full, but it was not equipped with missing equipment...

By the time they found twelve carriages, it was already dark.

A group of people looked at the twelve carriages, all speechless: the other party spread the carriages to delay their search and to win time for themselves, and loading these carriages with those things was to mock them

!

The other party is laughing at their incompetence!

When General Tan was busy for a day, after receiving the news, he was so angry that he smashed his baby in his hand to the ground.

Forget it, you can steal his arms, but you still dare to laugh at him like this!

Who can tolerate it, who can’t stand it!

Near the imperial capital, so close to the military academy, it is extremely risky to rob this batch of military supplies. In such a situation where the situation is serious, the other party still has time and mood to do such things, which shows that the other party is

Arrogant and unrestrained!

In addition, the other party is likely to have a grudge against him, otherwise he would not have ridiculed him and humiliated him so much!

Who would have a grudge against him so much that he would rob his equipment and mock him so much?

He quickly made a list in his mind, but no matter how he screened it, he didn't think those people would do such crazy and risky things.

This is Tiandu, just under the emperor's nose, with eyes and ears everywhere. His Tan family is also powerful, who would take the risk of being killed by the nine clans?

Even if you have a grudge against him, you wouldn't choose to attack near the imperial capital, right?

Now, the whole day hasn’t arrived, the army inside and outside knows this all day!

The government and the public were shocked! It was not that the losses caused by this incident were so heavy, but that doing this under the emperor's nose was really bold and obsessed with the king's law. It was a challenge to the king's law and imperial power, and to the Xiliang army.

Contempt and provocation!

It's intolerable!

If this case is not solved, the robbery will not be killed. Where is the face of the government, the army and the royal family?

That night, General Tan Xiao, the Ministry of War, the main officials of the Ministry of Revenue, and the staff of the agency sat together and carefully checked the details before and after the equipment was transported.

But after checking for one night, only many things can be found, just "coincidence". For example, the official who was originally scheduled to go to escort equipment today suddenly had an accidental fracture, and no one else could get it.

The Minister of Revenue who was escorted was famous for being lazy and lazy, and doing things in a careless manner - I always felt that it was too coincidental, as if it had been arranged, but there was no evidence to prove that all this was artificial!

There are many similar "coincidence", "accident" and "unfortunate", but there is no evidence caused by humans!

If all this is not a coincidence or accident, but is really made by man, then how terrible is this person...?

General Tan and other relevant officials felt a little furious in his heart, and felt a chill on his back!
