Chapter 216: Meeting with high-level officials, missing the opportunity
In the noisy and chaotic center of the camp, the two words "Zhang Ye" resounded like a thunderclap, resounding in everyone's heart.
At this moment, both Feng's soldiers and the independent army soldiers trembled slightly, and looked at Wu Zhongwen who was hiding in the corner, wanting to see who was so reckless as to dare to call the name of the leader of the independent army at this time.
boom!
When the gunshot rang out, Wu Zhongwen pointed at Zhang Ye in the crowd and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Marshal!!"
The guards guarding the surrounding area realized the crisis when they heard "Zhang Ye". The moment the gunshot rang out, a soldier reacted very quickly and stepped forward to stand in front of him.
puff……
The bullet passed through the soldier's upper arm and went straight into Zhang Ye's right shoulder. A flash of blood made the guards feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave and their scalps went numb!
"Protect the Marshal, protect the Marshal and retreat first!"
In the crowd, Lu Shan rushed forward to protect Zhang Ye and dragged him out with all his strength. The remaining dozen or so guards quickly formed a human shield, protecting him tightly and not allowing any loss.
"It's okay, don't panic. It wasn't a hit anywhere vital, just a few scrapes!"
Zhang Ye covered the wound with one hand, frowned, and endured the intense tearing sensation, and comforted him.
"Don't move! That guy looked like Wu Zhongwen to me. We can't let him get away today!"
"It's already this late, why bother with Wu Zhongwen? Even if Cao Xin comes, your health is not as important."
Lu Shan didn't care about that. They surrounded him and dragged him out of the camp.
The commander-in-chief was shot. Such a serious security incident would be like the sky falling in any force. At this moment, no matter how big the fish was, he had no interest in catching it. The most important thing for the security personnel was to get the commander-in-chief out safely.
"Stop the bullshit! I said it's okay, it's okay. It's just Wu Zhongwen, not worth my life. It's just a minor injury, not life-threatening!"
Zhang Ye pushed away the people in front of him, looked towards the corner where the gunshot came from, and gave the order.
"We must find a way to keep Wu Zhongwen here tonight. He's one of the top leaders of the Feng Clan. With him, we have the initiative!"
"But you..."
"This is an order!"
"I...I'm really fucking convinced!"
In the end, Lu Shan still couldn't defeat him. He turned around and looked fiercely at the camp where the fighting was still going on, picked up his weapon and shouted.
"Two of you come with me, the rest of you will protect the Marshal and evacuate safely to the rear!"
"Stay alive!"
Zhang Ye looked at his angry back and stood on tiptoe to give instructions.
He was afraid that this kid would get carried away and kill the other person.
If you catch a dead body, it will have no negotiating value.
"Don't worry, Marshal. Just retreat and leave the rest to me!"
Lu Shan was as powerful as a dragon and rushed into the camp without looking back.
He was extremely angry at the moment and was determined to kill a few unlucky guys to vent his anger.
On the other hand, although Wu Zhongwen took advantage of the chaos to injure Zhang Ye, he was also targeted by the Independence Army because he stood out and became the first to do so.
For a moment, bullets like raindrops converged on his position from all directions, and grenades and shells were thrown at him as if they were free.
"Boss Wu, Boss Wu, please leave quickly! Their firepower is too strong. There is absolutely no need to hold on here!"
The guard company commander held Old Wu's arm, stepped back repeatedly, and tried to persuade him with a sad face.
He really wanted to die now. If he had known that this ancestor was so impulsive, he should have taken him away even if it meant being punished.
Good man, just standing up and shouting directly caused more than 20 casualties. If they hadn't retreated quickly, I'm afraid the two of them would have been buried alive in the explosion.
"Why are you running? I just called Zhang Ye. Are you deaf? That's Zhang Ye, the supreme leader of the Independence Army!"
At this moment, Wu Zhongwen was like a greedy and hungry beast. He always regarded himself as a scholar, but his face was full of twisted and excited weird smile.
"Find a way to catch him, quickly, quickly, don't delay. Once their identities are exposed, they will probably run away."
Wu Zhongwen grabbed the guard company commander's arm, his eyes reddened, becoming the embodiment of greed and desire, and he demanded very urgently.
"Organize all forces and don't let him go. Great, this is great. I can actually meet Zhang Ye here. This is a god-given opportunity. God is blessing us."
"As long as we can catch this guy, the battle situation will be reversed in an instant, and we will win!"
Facing Wu Zhongwen, who was talking nonsense and had been blinded by desire, the guard company commander looked around and found that the independent army's offensive was still fierce and was about to break through the temporary defense line in front. He immediately made up his mind, put away his gun, bent down and picked it up.
"Let's go, everyone else follow and cover the boss's evacuation!"
"What? What are you going to do!!"
Wu Zhongwen, who was suddenly carried up, had his eyes wide open like bells. He pounded his back and shouted angrily.
"I told you to catch Zhang Ye, why did you carry me up?"
"Mr. Wu, the situation is too dangerous now. I must ensure your safety first."
The guard company commander was panting and striding towards the rear of the camp.
He knew very well that if he let Zhang Ye escape, he would at most be punished or fined, but if something happened to Wu Zhongwen, not only him, but the entire guard company would be blamed and would be doomed to death.
As the boss's guard, in times of crisis, you must put their safety first. This is the first lesson everyone learns after joining the guard company.
"I'll fucking kill you!"
Seeing that these guys were disobedient, Wu Zhongwen, who was furious, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at their backs, roaring hysterically.
"I told you to catch Zhang Ye, did you hear me?!"
"Boss Wu, even if you kill me today, no one will carry out this order!"
The guard company commander was very determined. After hearing the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer behind him, he couldn't help but quicken his pace again.
“You… you fucking…”
Wu Zhongwen was so angry that his teeth were itching. If he had not retained the last bit of his rationality, he would definitely have shot the guy to death.
What a great opportunity, what a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and I just watched it slip away.
Ever since Zhang Ye rose to power, Wu Zhongwen would study his information whenever he had free time. He dreamed of capturing him personally and wiping out the Independence Army.
I finally got a chance today, but this guy gave it up without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhongwen felt a surge of depression in his heart. He found it difficult to even breathe, as if someone was strangling him. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
