Chapter 606: Battle of the Sanggan River XVI
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
"Damn!
"Kill them!"
When Zhao Si, who was dressed as Huan Chenyu, made the action of killing Ah Er and kicking him into the river, this action completely angered the Tang soldiers who were looking at the situation on the shore, and they couldn't help but continue to scold, and those archers and crossbowmen no longer concealed it, because the important hostages were gone, and they shot towards the four wooden boats on the river.

Ye Chengcheng's worries didn't arise at all, under the anger of the emotions, these Tang Army shooters all lost their minds, and threw their anger into the arrows, wanting to shoot these bold Beiyi assassins on the spot, but how could it be so easy.
Of the four boats present, three of them were on Ye Chengcheng and the three of them, only to see the three of them suddenly jump up, brandished the horizontal knife in their hands, and played the long and somewhat heavy horizontal knife like a toy, in front of them, there was not a single bow and crossbow that could pass through their defense line, it was incredible, but in fact, as long as they were real masters, they could do it like them.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case, and several Tang soldiers on another ship next to them suddenly took out the shields in the equipment of several Tang soldiers placed on the ship, and erected a copper wall composed of three shields, and those bows and crossbows hit it, emitting sporadic sparks and fierce "bells", but the three of them were unmoved, and grabbed the shields tightly, but they did not suffer any damage.
The Tang troops who rushed to the dock and on the shore were stunned except for those crossbowmen who were still shooting, under their dense bow and crossbow rain, these more than ten assassins were actually at ease, and the three masters on three of the boats were able to resist the dense rain of arrows with one hand, and their companions were unharmed when they hid behind them.
Immediately, the same thought popped up in the minds of countless people: How could Wang Shuai resist an assassin of this rank? Could it be that the gossip that Wang Shuai had been assassinated and died, which is now going viral, turned out to be true? If they had encountered such an assassin themselves, they would definitely not have been able to survive, and besides, if the assassination had not been successful, why should they flee? In this way, not only did they put themselves in danger, but they also ran away in vain and got nothing.
As a result, among these Tang troops, the gossip that Wang Zhongsi had been assassinated became real, and the more it spread, the more crazy it became.
Since the four ships were already close to the dock opposite, these Tang soldiers finally calmed down and stopped wasting arrows, no matter how much they shot, it was useless, they could only waste arrows, even if they were fully armed now, but they were not used to waste them like this.
On the dock side of the Xi Qi coalition army, because the camp to which the Khitan belonged has retreated several miles north, now the original camp should be full of Xi people, and they should also be guarding the dock, but from the appearance and language, outsiders can't tell the difference between the two clans at all.
Just when the guards on the dock and some of the defenders who felt behind them were very wary of Ye Tingcheng and his party, and at the same time, a considerable number of Xiqi coalition defenders were rushing towards this side, a Beiyi on a horse suddenly rushed to the dock and shouted in Khitan language: "Stop!"
Being able to run horses in the barracks shows that this guy's status should not be low, because of this, these defenders who were quite wary of Ye Tingcheng and them have made way one after another, after seeing the scene of Ye Tingcheng and they were drenched in the rain of arrows and unscathed, where did these guys dare to really fight with these guys.
This guy rode his horse to the shore next to the dock, although it was said to be a dock, but the dock on the side of the Xi Qi coalition army was actually a small mound, which was in stark contrast to the strict dock of the Tang army opposite, and even the ships looked a lot worse, which made Huan Chenyu's face show a look of extreme disdain.
Seeing that someone had stopped these defenders, Ye Qingcheng and his party immediately jumped off the boat, confronting these Beiyi who surrounded them with a nervous expression.
"How many of them are Mr. Zhao Si and his subordinates?"
"Isn't it just right, I have to thank Brother Shi Mo for his care before. Huan Chenyu smiled and replied, although he didn't know this person, but the puppet worm had already told him the identity of this person through a low voice, he was one of the close attendants of the Khitan chief Li Huaixiu, because he could speak Chinese, and Li Huaixiu himself could not pick up Zhao Si in person, so it was this guy who picked up everyone, and when he was in the Khitan tent before, the communication between Zhao Si and Li Huaixiu was basically the intermediary of this guy in addition to several major decisions.
However, at this time, a question mark appeared on Ye Chengcheng's head, didn't it mean that the Khitan camp had retreated several miles north? Even the guard tower of the Tang army camp could see that the camp and the rare defenders inside, as well as the sentries patrolling back and forth, and the scale of the torches at night was also consistent with that of the Khitan army. But this guy was able to arrive in a short time, although he saw that the defenders of the dock had gone to report the news, but he didn't believe that this person could rush to the Khitan camp, and this Shimo Chi Dog was able to ride his horse to this dock in a short time, and judging from the fact that the horse he was riding didn't have much breath, he must have arrived from a very close place.
At this time, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Huan Chenyu, and found that there was the same confusion in his eyes as himself: Since this stone wipe red dog is Li Huaixiu's close attendant, so Li Huaixiu is still in the camp of the Xi Qi coalition army? In other words, since he is still in this camp, it means that the camp in the north is very likely to be fake, and most of the Khitan army should still be in the camp of the Xi Qi coalition army, but they can hold back and let the patrols and weekday patrols be carried out by the Xi people.
Ye Qingcheng dared to guess that the opportunity they were waiting for was probably the assassination of Wang Zhonghe, they didn't know that this Zhao Si could only be regarded as a midstream level in the Tang Sect, they naively thought that the Tang Sect assassin invited by the high price of 5,000 yuan would inevitably be extremely skilled, although Zhao Si's skills were indeed extremely high, but there was still a little gap between him and the top killers in the Tang Sect, but with the high profile of Tang Jiabao, it was impossible for that level of master to be hired by foreign enemies, otherwise it would have a great impact on both reputation and status。 And this Zhao Si has also been looking for an opportunity to assassinate Wang Zhonghe, it took him several days to slowly get close to Wang Zhongsi, especially today finally found an opportunity, Wang Zhongsi plans to talk to Ye Chengcheng privately, and Ah Er and another close attendant will be separated, this time is the best way to do it, so he gathered his companions, first listen to the conversation between the two of them, and then kill him with poison, if not, let the brothers outside the tent cause a commotion through the signal, and then he took the opportunity to take Wang Zhonghe's head, but he didn't expect to kill Ye Tingcheng halfway。
