935. The Assassins Attack the City
By the time a soldier came up with wine and food, everyone in the hall was already discussing how to attack Jiangling Mansion.
Jiangling Mansion is the barrier of the northern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the Yuan army wants to go straight to the south of the Yangtze River, it is only possible to capture Jiangling Mansion. It's not realistic to get around it.
Not to mention anything else, if Su Quandang's army is not destroyed, their food and grass will be unsustainable.
The Song army is not easy to deal with, and they really want to bypass Jiangling Mansion and approach Jiangnan. As long as the city guards transferred food, these Yuan troops would only starve to death.
And the army that can't even fill its stomach, even if it is elite, it is impossible to exert much combat effectiveness.
At dusk on this day, dozens of people in Changlin County rode out of the city.
These dozens of people are all good at the rivers and lakes. Some were brought by Yeluzhu, and some were worshiped by Lu Wenhuan in the army.
The Yuan Dynasty has expanded its territory over the years, and there are really a lot of minions that have been gathered.
The Great Eagle Claw Huang Liangce personally led the team, but he was not the only one who was a true martial artist.
Not far out of the city, these dozens of people divided into two groups and headed towards Dangyang County and Jiangling Mansion respectively.
At this time, Liu Zaiyuan in Dangyang County and Su Quandang in Jiangling Mansion and others did not know any news, so they did not know that the crisis was quietly approaching.
They all received the good news of Kuizhou Road, and it was time to be happy.
As long as Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun led the army to the Jiangling battlefield, they could take the initiative.
There are four forbidden armies of Tiangang, Tianxiong, Tianli, and Tianjie, and then there is the garrison of Changde Mansion in Wenqi, which is a head-to-head confrontation with the Yuan army, and it is also a chance to win.
Although Su Quandang and the others also expected that the Yuan army might attack at such a time, they would not think deeply about the assassination.
Because it's not easy to do.
Don't say that it is Su Quandang and others in Jiangling Mansion, but Liu Zaiyuan in Dangyang County, how can there be a master of Wudingtang around him?
The night was dark.
The night breeze is bleak, and there is a crescent moon.
Dozens of horses are getting closer and closer to Dangyang County and Jiangling Mansion.
In this day and age, at nights like this, the wilderness is truly quiet. As far as the eye can see, there are very few lights to be seen.
More than 20 horsemen to Dangyang County marched along the official road, and finally saw the torches at the head of the city when they approached Dangyang County.
There are quite a few of these torches, and it can be seen that the Tianli Army is well defended.
More than 20 horsemen rode in black robes, and they reined in their horses when they were still a kilometer away from the city. Then he went to the city wall of Dangyang County.
The light of the torches could not shine far outside the city.
In the night, these people were just like ghosts, quietly approaching the city wall of Dangyang County.
When they were only a few dozen meters from the city, they all crawled to the ground. Covered by wild grass and trees, no one can find it.
Getting closer, these people no longer approached, but only lurked separately, observing the movements of the Song army at the head of the city.
There is no such thing as a watertight defense, especially for these masters.
The night is getting darker.
There are almost no lights on the streets of Dangyang County.
Only the husband walked around the street with a small oil lamp, shouting, "It's dry, be careful of the candle." ”
From the top of the city, these husbands look like souls wandering in the night.
Even the government offices in the city were already quiet at this time.
Torches still stretched in the barracks.
But the lights in the tents were all turned off, and only a few were still on.
The military tent Liu Zaiyuan walked out of his military tent at this time.
He had a habit of going to the city every day before going to bed to inspect the defenses. Even if it is windy and rainy, it has never stopped.
This is also one of the reasons why there were so many deputy commanders in the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, but in the end, he was promoted to the position of commander of the Tianli Army by serving as the deputy commander of the Tiangang Army.
When he arrived at the door, more than a dozen guards and worshippers naturally followed him without waiting for him to speak.
More than ten horsemen rode out of the camp and headed towards the north gate of Dangyang County.
To the north city gate, Liu Zaiyuan climbed to the head of the city.
On a summer day like this, it's not cold at night. But when he walked by the soldiers, he would still sort out the uniforms for some of the soldiers.
It's a natural thing to get used to.
The soldiers were also used to it, and when they saw Liu Zaiyuan, they all smiled and shouted: "Commander." ”
What no one expected was that there would be a master of the Yuan Dynasty lurking outside the city.
When Liu was far away to the east of the city, the torches of his group and the shouts that sounded at the head of the city unexpectedly attracted the attention of those masters who were still lurking outside the city.
They were waiting for an opportunity, and the Tianli Army was heavily defended, which made them quite a headache. At this time, Liu Zaiyuan's appearance undoubtedly made them overjoyed.
There were not many people in the Song army who could be called military commanders.
They originally planned to kill in the government and military camps, but in the final analysis, the chances of assassinating a general at the level of the commander of the Great Song Dynasty were not high. Because there are Divine Dragon Guns in the Song army, they only need a little time to react, and they can't continue to stay in the city longer. But at this time, Liu Zaiyuan was equivalent to sending it to the door by himself.
These masters of the Yuan Dynasty were moved, even if the general of the Song Army, who was called the commander, was not Liu Zaiyuan, as long as they succeeded, they would also earn it.
At that moment, the leader no longer hesitated, and said softly: "Ready to start." ”
Although the voice is low, the murderous aura is rich.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly burst out of the grass and swept towards the city.
But the walls are a few meters high, and they really don't mean much.
When a person is in the air, the artistic conception suddenly permeates from his body.
This made the soldiers of the Tianli Army in the head of the city stunned.
Immediately after that, several artistic conceptions came out of the sky.
Yeluzhu is really bloody this time.
Although not all of these artistic conceptions are True Martial Realm powerhouses, there are as many as two True Martial Realm powerhouses. And those masters of the Shangyuan Realm who comprehend the intentional meaning are also extremely strong.
The rest of the people, even if they are not in the Upper Yuan Realm, are not much worse than the Upper Yuan Realm.
This is the essence of the Green Forest Camp.
"Ahh
A hidden weapon slashed through the night.
Some of the soldiers at the head of the city screamed and fell down with torches.
These screams immediately broke the silence of the night.
"Enemy attack!"
A shrill shout rang out.
Many of the soldiers around Liu Zaiyuan had not yet come back to their senses, and in the distance, many soldiers had already picked up their dragon guns and shot at the masters who were sweeping the city.
Gunshots rang out.
A black shadow stopped abruptly and fell down from the city.
However, they were indeed difficult to deal with, and in a few moments, more than a dozen people swept up the city.
Someone waved his hands continuously, and there were hidden weapons constantly crossing. There were soldiers of the Tianli Army around who fell in response.
At such a close distance, with the accuracy of these masters, the power of the hidden weapon is really much better than that of the Divine Dragon.
One by one, the soldiers of the Tianli Army who fell on their backs were all darts in the face.
The two True Martial Realm powerhouses attacked directly towards Liu Zaiyuan.
As soon as they went to the city, their eyes were fixed on Liu Zaiyuan, who was wearing the armor of a general.
Caught off guard, no one among the soldiers of the Tianli Army could stop their edge.
There was chaos at the head of the city.
In the face of so many masters, the soldiers of the Tianli Army lost dozens of soldiers in the blink of an eye.
"Protect the Commander!"
"Protect the Commander!"
Some soldiers rushed towards Liu Zaiyuan's side, but the pace was undoubtedly much slower than these Yuan Dynasty masters.
There were only more than 20 guards beside Liu Zaiyuan.
Hidden weapons slashed.
The guards who stood in his way fell in response.
A few worshippers didn't dare to come forward to fight at this time, and came back to their senses, so they hurriedly dragged Liu Zaiyuan back sharply. It's an instinctive reaction.
They all knew in their hearts that these assassins were extremely good at their skills, and even if they rushed forward, it would be useless.
At present, the only thing to protect Liu Zaiyuan is the top priority.
The Shangyuan Realm Gao in the worship held a sword in front of Liu Zaiyuan, and his face was extremely ugly.
The surrounding soldiers were shrouded in artistic conception, and they were often killed before they could shoot, and they couldn't stop these assassins at all.
Liu Zaiyuan was protected by everyone, and pulled out his saber sonorously, but shouted: "Kill!" ”
Those guards are the ones who get along with him day and night. But at this time, he was killed by these assassins alive in front of his eyes.
The firelight flickered.
The masters of the Yuan Dynasty aimed at Liu Zaiyuan, and in just a few tens of seconds, they were close to the front.
There was a sword aura that broke through the air.
Blood splattered.
Even if it is a new type of armor, it can't stop such a sword qi.
Liu Zaiyuan could already see the faces of these assassins clearly.
"Captain, run!"
The sword-wielding Shangyuan Realm worship finally went to the front.
The remaining few worshippers dragged Liu Zaiyuan and hurriedly ran to the stairs.
The cold light flickered quickly in the firelight.
