Chapter 222: Breaking through on a snowy night

So after breaking through the two fronts, Hou Zhongxiao reluctantly chose to retreat.

Those powerful crossbows defending the city, stealth and assassination actually consumed more physical strength and spirit than head-on combat, so he decided to take a different approach.

The shouts of killing that had just surged on both sides of the valley finally stopped. Compared to the hysteria just now, there is an indescribable quietness.

And Hou Zhongxiao's ears were only left with the gasps of the people around him at this moment.

As the intelligence leader of Canghai City in Zhongjing, he was used to walking in the dark, so he was waiting for the night.

The sun, which was not so bright, gradually dipped down, and the people on the top of the mountain seemed to have finally discovered the intentions of the people at the foot of the mountain, and finally lost the last shred of patience.

A thin sound of snow treading sounded through the woods, and a team of crossbowmen nervously roamed around the area, then groped their way down the hill.

The other team followed the road they had just left the city and returned to Zhongjing City. The purpose is self-explanatory.

They must leave the valley when they return to it, or they may never leave the valley.

Snow is flying!

It's so fast!

The patrol crossbowman who had just walked down the top of the mountain only felt a flower in front of him, and then he felt a chill from the throat dragon, and the crossbow arrow in his hand shot out indiscriminately in a tense manner.

There was an aggressive sound. The bolts flew into the sky, into the trunks of the dense snowy trees, and even hit their own companions, who were wounded and fell to the ground, wailing.

The people of Canghai harvested that life without accident.

In just a short moment, more than a dozen crossbowmen who came down the mountain had already died.

The price paid at that time was that Hou Zhongxiao's team completely exposed their hidden location.

The raindrops of crossbow arrows poured down again. The pressed people did not dare to raise their heads again.

And the stout tree behind him was under tremendous pressure, because there was a large crossbow machine that was shooting large crossbow arrows at the trees behind him. The voice reached Hou Zhongxiao's ears, like a talisman for his life.

He couldn't help but feel cold, sure enough, it was a city crossbow, and he couldn't help but have countless doubts and uneasiness in his heart.

The strange and terrifying shape of the city crossbow is installed at the top of the mountain, and the machine spring requires the joint efforts of several people to complete, and his own small intelligence leader is using such a big stroke from the current emperor.

A disturbing thought suddenly came to his mind. Zhongjing City was not in a hurry to kill him at all, or that he was just a decoy by himself.

Then the two big actions just made on the top of the mountain are just smoke bombs, thinking of this, Hou Zhongxiao couldn't help but shudder, is there a bigger conspiracy. But in any case, breaking out of this encirclement is especially important at this moment.

The letter that returned to Canghai City had already been released when they walked out of Zhongjing City, and it would take two days for the carrier pigeon to return to Canghai City, so if he guessed correctly, he would have at least two days left. And it was impossible for them to carry so many crossbow arrows, so Hou Zhongxiao was more calm at this time.

He motioned to his subordinates to be calm, and he actually closed his eyes in the sunset to recuperate.

As expected, the fierce crossbow arrows just now had gradually thinned out at this moment, and then there were only a few sporadic weak shots, which seemed to tell Hou Zhongxiao that they had not evacuated yet.

And the sun finally set at this moment.

Hou Zhongxiao finally opened his eyes.

The easiest way to get out of here is to kill their principal. This is also clearly the most feasible approach.

"Squeak ......" Hou Zhongxiao used his unique signal method to arouse the attention of his subordinates who were less than ten people left. He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction where the hilltop crossbow was fired, and then made a killing gesture.

Everyone instantly understood what he meant, as soon as the person in charge died, there would be no one to command, so it would not be so difficult for them to get out of here.

Quiet, more than ten people sneaked on the snow, without even making any small sound, through the faint moonlight, Hou Zhongxiao finally saw the city crossbow that was moved down from the city wall, and then gasped, his guess was right.

Standing behind the city crossbow were two people, one of them had a red ying on his head, obviously from the military, and the other was dressed in cloth, the night was too dark Hou Zhongxiao obviously couldn't see his appearance clearly, but judging from his body movements, it seemed that he was a eunuch.

That's right, the brains of the entire encirclement are here, and the road will be much easier after killing the two of them.

Hou Zhongxiao divided his people into two teams, one on the left and the other on the right, responsible for cleaning up the people on both sides, and left the most difficult part to himself.

Without any hesitation, Hou Zhongxiao's whole body fell down without warning, like a snow fox, sliding along the snow surface extremely fast, but after all, he still made a popping sound.

The person in charge with the red tassel obviously spotted him in advance, and his eyes showed surprise but immediately became calm, but the eunuch beside him was frightened by Hou Zhongxiao's sudden appearance and fell on the snow, and then screamed in horror.

Time was pressing, Hou Zhongxiao didn't care about the existence of the old eunuch, so he first took out the black dagger from the treasury and rushed towards General Hongying.

An extremely fast knife came over, Hou Zhongxiao's wrist flipped, and the black dagger spread out like a black shadow, and in a moment, it was several times with the knife.

Five jingles sounded, and the poorly prepared General Hongying staggered back two steps, his face was pale for a while, and he obviously suffered a dark loss, but he finally succeeded in stopping Fan Hou Zhongxiao in front of him.

And what Hou Zhongxiao needs at this time is the time to take two steps back, the crossbowman behind the city crossbow saw that the master was going to be attacked, and he had already rushed up at this moment, so Hou Zhongxiao also retreated and retreated into the arms of the attacker behind him.

The man behind him screamed, abandoned the knife, and clasped his palms together, wanting to clamp Hou Zhongxiao's dagger.

It's just that the power of Hou Zhongxiao's stab is so huge, the dagger finally slid through the man's fleshy palms and slashed into the opponent's body a little.

The man shouted wildly and slapped the back of Hou Zhongxiao's head with a palm.

Hou Zhongxiao didn't look back, he palmed back.

Immediately afterwards, the dagger was pulled out and returned, and the hilt struck the man's face, Hou Zhongxiao seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and the handle stabbed the man's eye socket.

The man's left palm came out again, blocking Hou Zhongxiao's knife handle in front of him, an inch of land.

Hou Zhongxiao pressed his thumb, and the handle of the knife stabbed out a sharp sharp blade, piercing the man's palm, and then, piercing the man's eyeball!

The man fell to the ground wailing in pain, no longer able to resist.

The knife of General Hongying in front of him finally slashed after this little episode, and the knife was like electricity, directly slashing Hou Zhongxiao's face!

Hou Zhongxiao snorted, pulled out the dagger from the eye socket of the person behind him, and stabbed directly at the general in front of him.

It was a lose-lose fight, with a knife slashing in the shoulder and a dagger stabbing in the heart, and Hou Zhongxiao thought it was a good deal, and he knew what the general would choose.

Sure enough, the knife was not cut down, so the dagger did not stab down, but the two of them just switched positions, so at this moment, the eunuch who fell to the ground and wailed happened to be lying next to Hou Zhongxiao.

"It's too noisy. Hou Zhongxiao slashed the dagger from the old eunuch's neck, and the bright red blood gushed out to stain the snow red, but Hou Zhongxiao was dead against the general's eyes.

"A dignified five-rank general was called by a eunuch, and I will help the general avenge it today. Hou Zhongxiao's voice was a little yin and yang, and behind his yin and yang voice was a low sound of force.

He didn't have much time because he didn't know how long his subordinates would last.

Of course, the dagger does not have a knife length, so its route is very tricky, and Hou Zhongxiao's style of play does not have any routines, but it is indeed the most practical killing technique.

Hou Zhongxiao waved his dagger and pounced in front of General Hongying, or it would be more appropriate to use the word drill.

The long knife mercilessly left a deep wound on its shoulder, and at the cost of the dagger burrowing into his heart like a bone-eating viper.

Like a horse shot in the heart by a crossbow arrow, it stopped all its movements in an instant, and all life quickly drained from its eyes, and then it was dead to ashes.

Like its owner, the red tassel fell on the snow, rolled a few times, and then made no sound.
