Half a month of peace and quiet is quite rare and precious for the Yan family, and through the arrangement of Young Master Yan Jiu and Cui Xi's skillful hands, the Yan family is now full of confidence, Zhang Biao and their guys even wish that Yao Laogou would come over and send him to death.

"If Yao Lida is not too idiot, the first time he sends someone, it should be mainly to test our details, if we find that we are defenseless, it is possible to kill him," at the staff meeting of Yan Mansion, Young Master Yan Jiu said to everyone, "And the first thing we have to do is to let these spies of his come and go, and they can't send any news back to him, so that he is suspicious and does not dare to act rashly." ”

The cloth cover made by the servants of the Yan family for the lookout had an unexpected effect, and the young master Yan Jiu simply let the cloth cover be there all the time, without having to tear it off, and the personal soldiers in charge of the lookout got into it from under the cover, climbed along the wooden frame to the top, and then monitored their movements in this direction from the gap in the cloth cover that was not easy to be noticed, and from the outside, it seemed that there were six people under the cloth cover, and it was even more so at night.

Yao Lida is quite patient, even if the situation is out of his control, he did not immediately run to kill Yan Zichen's family in a hurry, of course, this is also related to Yan Zichen who is on the front line and the martial arts guys are constantly creating trouble for him, after killing the 50,000 barbarian army, the Four Barbarian Alliance exploded on the spot, and directly sent a letter to force Yao Lida to hand over Yan Zichen's head, and if he can't hand it over, he will tear his face and never stand up——Another stronghold of the Siyi Coalition Army wiped out thousands of barbarians, and if the barbarians can endure it any longer, they are not "barbarians", and they didn't even hand the letter to Yao Lida, and directly let the dead soldiers take arrows and tie the war book and shoot it at the camp gate of the border army camp.

This is to fight with Yao Lida, can Yao Lida not be in a hurry? Can he count on the Yanwu and Wu armies to protect him? So these days Yao Lida is just busy dispatching troops to defend the camp where he is, this time he not only has to guard against the barbarians, but also to prevent the Yanwu family from falling into the well, but also to prevent the imperial court from handing knives from his back at this time, and being attacked on three sides, Yao Lida is anxious, angry and a little panicked, plus the gang of people who don't know what to do at this moment poured into the city to make him a mess, it is simply worse!

While busy dealing with all sides, Yao Lida's anger value rose higher and higher, and finally on this day he couldn't help it - no matter when its barbarian soldiers came to the city, whether Yan Zichen would take advantage of the chaos to dig the corners of his city wall, whether its court seized this opportunity to make a move - kill Yan Zichen's family first!

Now the people of the whole city are singing praises to Yan Zichen, Yao Lida is so angry that he can't do it in the daytime, so he can only stay at night - let the Yan family die quietly at home, and when Yan Zichen comes back, a room full of people will already be rotten and maggots!

The night dark wind is not high, the moonlight is very bright, the movement of more than a dozen figures in the quiet streets and alleys is very chic and sharp, a few pro-soldiers on the lookout enjoy the demeanor of these few people who are running and dodging, and the other people who have been ambushed at the bottom have played a code, and the way to play the code is also very simple, learn a few night insects, which is a common phenomenon in the summer night, and there is a lot of mystery in this call, according to the types of different insects and the length of the call, The number of times can convey a lot of information, such as how many people are coming, which direction they are coming, whether they are holding long soldiers or bows and arrows, how far away they are, and so on.

Everyone in the courtyard was jubilant: It's finally here! The brothers have been waiting for several days! Come on! Let the brothers have a good time!

The dozen or so heroes who rushed over inexplicably felt that the chrysanthemums were tight...... Refocused, looking up in the direction of the Yan Mansion in the distance, the tall thing that stood in the third courtyard and was covered with cloth They had seen it when they stepped on the spot nearby during the day, but no one could guess what was covered there, and after observing in the dark for several days, that thing had been standing there so quietly, and it didn't look strange, and if you looked at it carefully, it was still the same as what you usually saw— No matter what is wrong with this thing, it is still necessary to go in or to go in, and the task to be performed still needs to be performed.

More than a dozen people did not hesitate, quickly ran to the vicinity of the Yan house, very cautiously and cautiously approached the fourth courtyard under the cover of the shadow of the house, one of them waved his hand, and four people understood, and jumped on the wall first, lying on the edge of the wall to carefully observe the situation in the courtyard, and saw that everywhere was dark and blind, and the courtyard under the moonlight was bare, and there was nothing.

The four of them pricked up their ears and listened carefully for a while, trying to hear some movements in the upper room, but they couldn't hear anything for a long time, and they couldn't help but doubt in their hearts.

The four of them jumped back from the wall and simply reported the observed situation to the leader with gestures, and the leader pondered for a while, and then knew in his heart: the Yan family is not stupid, and they are also very clear about what Yan Zichen meant to Yao Lida by killing 50,000 barbarians, and they would not have thought that Yao Lida would send someone to clean them up, so it is not impossible to prepare in advance.

However, even if the Yan family is prepared, they can't just return in vain, the task this time is to take the life of the Yan family, and they can't let them go because the other party is wary, besides, they are all good players this time, and there are only a few remnants of Yan Zichen's old army that can be fought in the Yan family's house, and no matter how prepared they are, they are not the opponents of these people, so there is nothing to hesitate, the task must be completed, Yan Zhai, you must break through!

The leader made up his mind, and with a gesture, everyone understood, and immediately dispersed in a well-organized manner, and jumped up the wall silently like a civet cat, but not everyone jumped into the courtyard, and there was a sentry outside the wall, and there were also two staring at the overall situation on the wall.

The courtyard of this swallow house is also a little empty, there are no trees and no grass, and there is a bright moonlight on the ground, which is very inconvenient for people to hide their figures, so they have to follow along the wall, and the shadow of the wall is just enough to hide their whereabouts.

The two people on the wall were closely watching the movement in every corner of the courtyard, and suddenly noticed that the wall tiles on the opposite side seemed to move—what was going on?!

Before he could react, he saw ten thousand black lights suddenly appear in the moonlight, and they shot towards their companions at the base of the wall, dense as rain and fast as electricity, almost in a flash of thought-

Before the words "fast-hide-" from the brain could reach the vocal cords, there was a sharp pain in the throat, and the next moment, what I saw in my eyes was the boxy night sky on the top of the Yan Mansion, and it was frozen forever on the retina.

Swallow hand crossbow, can fire ten shots in a row, the speed in a short distance is comparable to a bullet, the penetration is even stronger than a bullet, seven or eight people X-shaped standing cross-shooting, even a peerless master can not escape!

When Wuzhi brought back the sentry from outside, what he saw was a humanoid hedgehog that had fallen into a piece at the base of the wall, and what was even more terrifying was that the arrows that did not hit the person were all nailed deep into the wall!

The swallow crossbow is indeed worthy of its name! The second master in the family who only hears his name but does not see his person is indeed worthy of his name!

I was convinced in my heart, and I could hear the door creak open, Yan Xiaojiu Ye calmly stepped out of the door calmly, seeing this small position, Wuzhi also admired it so much, at such a young age, and he didn't know kung fu, he dared to sit in the house alone, and waited steadily for this group of wolf-like killers to come to the door, what kind of courage and strategy is this-he just expected that this group of people would come to the door tonight, not waiting before, not waiting yesterday, just waiting today, and then he really waited for a positive one.

"Where's the mouth?" Young Master Yan Jiu, the god operator, looked at the five branches, there was a wind outside the wall, which was also within his expectations, so he had already arranged an ambush for the five branches, and asked to keep the mouth alive as much as possible.

With a guilty face, Wuzhi put the person in his hand on the ground, bowed down and replied, "Little incompetence, let this person swallow poison and commit suicide......"

"It doesn't matter," Young Master Yan Jiu said lightly without surprise, "These people are all dead soldiers, they have received special training, and the speed of suicide is probably faster than the speed of the attack, even if they are afraid of leaving their lives, they can't say anything." ”

Wuzhi was so moved that he almost cried—the little ninth master, who had always had a poisonous tongue, not only didn't blame him for comforting him! What a gift!

"Have you checked the surroundings?" "Young Master Yan Jiu, who cares what Wuzhi is moved there, continues to ask him.

"Checked, no one else. Wuzhi said busily.

Young Master Yan Jiu nodded slightly, and the soldiers came out of all corners of the courtyard, and at first glance, it looked like a piece of wall brick or the ground had become fine, peeling off one by one and gathering towards the center of the courtyard.

"It's hard work," Young Master Yan Jiu looked at the guys who were still excited about the success of this magical stealth ambush, "There shouldn't be a second group of people breaking into the house tonight, you can go back to your room to rest, and leave a few people on the lookout to continue to watch the night." These corpses were piled up in the wing room first, and the blood stains in the yard were dealt with so as not to scare the female dependents. ”

Everyone should immediately be - if they were still a little dissatisfied with this little young master before, after this time tonight, everyone was convinced, not only because this stealth ambush method was designed by this little young master, but also because he had an accurate grasp of the enemy's mind.

Let's just say that the reason why there is no branch array in the yard tonight is that everyone still felt unsafe at the beginning, but this master said: " The first batch of killers sent by Yao Lida must be good at kung fu, with the purpose of quietly putting us to death, in the case of not alarming us, they are unwilling to be alarmed, if we first set up a branch formation in the courtyard, the other party will know at a glance that we have prepared, in the case of high vigilance, if we sneak attack, it will not be easy to succeed, and the other party may not be willing to break through, which makes the branch formation play a counterproductive role, because our purpose is also to wipe out this group of people.

"Although the current situation will make the other party suspect that we are prepared, they will never think that we are so prepared and aggressive, in their eyes we are cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and even if we are prepared, we are just hiding in the circle and trembling, and what we want is their 'vigilant carelessness'.

"Another reason is that the lack of branches can make the yard appear emptier and have no place to hide, which forces them to stick to the wall in this direction, so that our targets can be concentrated, the arrows can be covered more densely, and the success rate of all kills can be higher.

"The use of the branch array is after killing the other party this time, Yao Lida didn't see this group of people returning, he knew that it had been destroyed in our hands, then the second group of people he sent should not try to sneak attack again, because he knew that we had all the preparations, and it was pointless to sneak around, but he was unwilling to blatantly mutilate Yan Zichen's family members to let the people know, so the second group of people would still act at night, and nine times out of ten, they would take fire attacks that could cover people's ears and create the illusion of accident and death.

"Our branch array was set up in the courtyard before this, first, it can make it difficult for the opponent to cast rockets, these branches can block the path of the rocket to a certain extent, and secondly, it can naturally block people who want to forcibly break into the house and perform killers.

"So, different periods and situations, different means and methods, our defensive approach is technically limited, so each method has to be as effective as possible. ”

Everyone no longer has any objections at this time, what the young master says is what he says, everyone has nothing to say. After cleaning up the battlefield, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and Young Master Yan Jiu also slowly returned to the first courtyard, but saw his sister squatting on the stone in front of the inverted room like a little hooligan, with her arms on her knees and her hands in the air, which made him deeply suspect that this action was infected by the head of the family who was leading soldiers to fight outside.

His sister saw him come out of the weeping flower door, waved her hand at him to say hello, and then got up, folded her hands together and raised it above her head for a long stretch, this stretch, the thin clothes in summer were attached to the flesh, outlining the slender waistline and slender legs, but she was already so thin that she did not look thin and weak at all, every line on her body was full of elasticity and rhythm, and her gestures seemed to have infinite tension and tenacity.

"Why don't you sleep?" Young Master Yan Jiu walked over slowly, glancing at her with a faint expression.

"It's a little hot, come out cool and cool. "Yan Qidao.

In fact, the evenings in the summer are very cool, after all, the location is very far north.

"Don't worry about me?" Young Master Yan Jiu poked at her and put on an unhappy face that was not trusted.

"Look, we have the most people in our room, so many people are crammed into one room, and it's full of heat. Yan Qi said and used his hand as a fan to fan the wind at the corner of his forehead.

Young Master Yan Jiu had already walked up the stairs slowly, and he didn't stop when he passed in front of his sister, he only stretched out a hand and patted it on the top of her head—he was already more than half a head taller than her, and this irreversible advantage made him curl the corners of his lips, but he walked over without looking away, and only threw down a sentence leisurely: "Is there a washboard in the clothes?"

"......" Nima...... Can't you escape the poisonous tongue even if you lose weight?!

During the day the next day, under the instructions of Young Master Yan Jiu, Zhang Biao led a group of people to arrange each courtyard with a branch array, and the wooden parts such as doors, windows, corridors, and columns were also covered with mud and sand according to the plan before, and then everyone except for getting up and moving before and after three meals, the rest of the time they slept in the room to recuperate, and the watchtower was monitored in shifts as usual.

At night, none of the people who had slept all day were sleepy, and the ladies sat quietly in the dark rooms, ready to respond to emergencies at any time, while the men took their places, waiting for the severe second test.

The second test came at the third watch—thirty or forty men in black jumped on the wall with bows and shots, the tips of the arrows burning on fire, and drilled into the doors, windows, porches, pillars, and inside the house, and every courtyard refused to let go, and on the roofs and walls of every courtyard stood men in black who fired rockets in all directions!

Most of the first batch of rockets were blocked by the branch array in the courtyard, and the people in black received the leader's order, and jumped down from the roof wall one after another, and when they saw the gap between the branches, they were about to shoot the rockets while breaking through -- the show is coming! The soldiers of the Yan Mansion who were dressed up as wall tiles, floor tiles, flower ponds, rockeries, and water tanks couldn't help but want to laugh: Look at the serious appearance of these stupid x's people one by one! I didn't notice it from Lao Tzu when I probed my head, and I still wanted to drill the branch array? Drill it, drill it, and it will all become a hanging oven roast duck in a while!

The soldiers were not in a hurry to make a move, because the young master said that if the branch formation was too early, it would not be able to exert the maximum effect, and if the other party knew that there were crossbowmen in ambush in the courtyard, it would not be easy to kill them all, and they had to watch these stupid x almost all jump down before making a move, and the move was not aimed at these people who jumped down, the people who jumped down were handed over to the branch array, and they wanted to use crossbows to shoot the people on the courtyard wall and roof.

The black-clothed people jumped down seventy or eighty percent, and carefully walked between the branches, and some tentatively touched one of these branches, and found that there was no movement, so they exchanged glances and gestures with their companions, meaning that these branches were just to prevent everyone from approaching the upper room more smoothly, but in fact they were useless.

So the people in black let go of their hands and feet, some drilled from between the branches, some simply showed off their light skills and flew directly from above on the branches, and the people who were originally standing on the wall and the roof to keep watching also jumped down, and for a while they showed their powers, their figures and rockets flew wildly, but they all maintained a tacit understanding with the people of the Yan Mansion - no one on both sides made a sound.

The people in black were silent, of course, because they didn't want other families living nearby to hear it, their main purpose was to create an accident about the fire, and the Yan family was silent, and the people in black understood that they were afraid of being found where they were hiding.

It doesn't matter if they hide it, because they have to search the courtyard after setting the fire, and none of the Yan family wants to run, but none of them can live!

The people in black were attacking happily, and suddenly heard a very slight "click" sound, and the experienced secret voice was not good, and they were about to evacuate, but it was too late, these branches that were originally standing still suddenly rotated flexibly, some rotated horizontally, some vertically, some obliquely rotated, and even three hundred and sixty degrees of willful rotation at all angles - don't look at these branches, one in the east and one in the west, one in a mess, in fact, the angle between each and each one, The position and gap are all carefully calculated and designed by Cui Xi, and when the mechanism is activated, these branches will rotate and stir, and there will never be any two branches that will trip together, and there will never be any gap that people can drill out without touching each other.

And compared to the branch array of the Zongwu Society, the operation speed of this organ is faster, because it occupies a small area, it is easy to combine and connect, and it is not necessary to rely on people to accidentally touch the branches and passively operate, this organ is manually run, and the general organ of control and operation is in the ear room of each courtyard as a latrine, usually the system of the courtyard is about the same, the location of the latrine is basically in one place, the people in black almost subconsciously ignore the latrine, those rockets are not wasted in this kind of place at all, so the latrine has become the safest place, and several strong men in the pro-soldiers are playing in it to push the machine to run。

And another difference compared to the branch formation of the Zongwu Society, that is, this organ is a truly lethal organ, all the branches are made of hard metal, and all kinds of sharp blades are located on these branches, once they are hung by the branches, the stabbing and cutting are light, and the most unfortunate thing is to be hung by two branches that turn in different directions, so it will be divided.

The mechanism was activated, the people in black suddenly became a mess, and the invisible soldiers finally made a move, and the crossbow pointed directly at the black-clothed people on the wall and the house, and outside the wall, Wuzhi was still responsible for the people who released the wind, this time there were many people who came, and there were many people who let go of the wind, but Young Master Yan Jiu also expected this, and directly threw his sister out to work for him, Yan Qi took a bow and arrow around the Yan Mansion to clear a circle, and none of the eight winds ran away, and the people even took time out of their work to result in a few people on the wall and on the roof, but after a while, only a few black-clothed people in the branch array were left who were still struggling to live.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, these people swallowed the poison as soon as they bit their teeth, and they didn't have to do anything with the Yan family, and they died in an instant.

What is rare is that from beginning to end, except for the sound of arrows hitting wood and stones or hitting branches, no sound has been made from dead or alive people, and even those people in black who died miserably have swallowed poison and died in seconds the moment they know that they can no longer live, and they have not let themselves suffer much before they die.

This second battle is extremely tragic for the opponent, but it is still very easy for the people of the Yan family - not to mention the most terrible thing is these readers, the scholars are much more awesome than them, and everything on the wall between talking and laughing will be wiped out, isn't that the situation in front of you?

Zhang Biao and the others looked at the blur of flesh and blood in the courtyard, and then looked at the light face of their eldest young master, and couldn't help but shudder together. 166 Reading Network
