Chapter 24: Assassination (1)
The next day, as soon as the day dawned, Gao Yang gently got out of bed, for fear of waking up Zhao Feiyan on the bed, Zhao Feiyan, who was sleeping, curled up like a kitten, his eyes were closed, and he looked lazy, it seemed that he was really tired from last night's exercise, and Gao Yang couldn't help but leak a smug smile on his face.
When he came to the dressing room outside the bedroom, Xiao Anzi outside the door was already dressed and respectfully served, and there were two maids standing on both sides.
Xiao Anzi saw that his lord Lang was wearing a white single coat, paced over, and couldn't help but smile: "Meet Lord Lang, let the servants serve Lord Lang to change clothes and wash." ”
Gao Yang said "um", didn't say much, and let the two maids be at the mercy of him, he had become accustomed to it for a while.
In his memory, when he was in Jinyang, he was clothed and fed since he was a child, had countless servants, and lived a luxurious aristocratic life. Later, when he was out of the army, only Xiao Anzi was accompanied by a servant, especially when he crossed into this world, he was in the military camp when he opened his eyes, and there were no maids at all, and Gao Yang himself didn't like to be served and dressed by men, even if this was a eunuch and a man who had been castrated, he also resisted this behavior in his heart.
After entering Fennan City, a group of landlords and nobles gave him a mansion as a place to rest in order to tie up with Gao Yang. At the beginning, he was worried that Gao Yang would resist, after all, Gao Yang didn't let him wait in the barracks, but soon saw that Gao Yang didn't say anything about the maid's service, but was willing, and the ingenious Xiao Anzi quickly understood, it turned out that Gao Yang didn't like to dress up for the same sex.
Every morning before dawn, Gao Yang began to smell the chickens and dance, personally went to the barracks to deal with military affairs, and participated in training with the Xiaoguo army, although he handed over all the training matters in the general to He Ba Shiwen, and promoted He Ba Shiwen to serve as a military judge, and supervised all violations of law and discipline.
He was a serious and persistent man, and the soldiers were trained to be miserable, and he did not spare or punish the soldiers who violated the rules. Everyone simply gave him the nickname "Saiyama" behind his back, thinking that Hebalswen's viciousness was more vicious than that of King Yama, after all, the king of Yama could allow the offender to die only after three watches, and once the capital crime fell into the hands of Hebalswen, once it was confirmed, he would be executed on the spot.
"By the way, Xiao Anzi, you arrange for someone to contact the patriarchs of the three major families in Fennan City and Yang Wen, and say that you are going to accept Zhao Feiyan, the granddaughter of the Zhao family, as a concubine, and you will have a private banquet for four people."
Xiao Anzi nodded respectfully when he heard this: "Okay, Lord Lang, our family will send someone to their house to notify them later." As he spoke, he handed Gao Yang a bowl of hot bird's nest.
Gao Yang took the cup and drank the bird's nest to the fullest......
Early in the morning, the sky was still dark, there was only a glimmer of dawn, the frost was deep and the dew was heavy, the chill was getting thicker, Gao Yang led more than a dozen Baibao Xuanjia guards, riding war horses, walking slowly on the path, smelling the fresh air on both sides, he couldn't help but feel that the ancient air was pure, and the twenty-first century he lived in did not exist.
Just when Gao Yang was sniffing the fresh air deeply, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, a small forest not far in front of him was quiet, there was no birdsong, you must know that at this time in the morning, this grove has always had all kinds of small birds chirping non-stop, very pleasant, but today there is no such sound.
Gao Yang felt very strange, and suddenly he secretly screamed, "It's not good, there are assassins!" He squatted down, approached the horse's back, quickly took out his shield and blocked the vital place in front of him, and shouted: "Everyone be careful, there are assassins!" ”
Less than a minute after the words fell, suddenly the sound of bows and arrows piercing the air in front of them buzzed, shooting towards their group, and the two Baibao Xuanjia cavalry who were at the forefront did not react, so they were killed by bows and arrows and fell to the ground and died, which also bought time for the cavalry behind, and the rest of the cavalry used shields to block the vital point, and then drove their horses to surround Gao Yang, blocking the shooting of bows and arrows in front.
"Kill the thief leader, and there will be a reward!" A man's thick command voice came from the front, and then a number of masked assassins flashed, killing Gao Yang and his party with agility.
"Hmph, the thief Hugh dares to be presumptuous, line up to defend against the enemy!" Gao Yang sneered disdainfully and shouted loudly.
The Baibao Xuanjia Army, who was surrounding Gao Yang to protect, heard the military order and began to move, with Gao Yang as the center, a crescent moon formation, an improved version of the moon formation, and pulled out their crossbows in a neat and orderly manner.
"Listen to the password, 1, 2, 3, shoot~" I only heard Gao Yang order without fear.
Although the Assassin was agile and dodged the crossbow arrows that came at him, he was still knocked to the ground by many of them......
Gao Yang gave three military orders in a row, watched the enemy in front of him gradually approach, then threw down the crossbow, pulled out the saber at his waist, and continued to order: "Draw the sword and kill the enemy~"
As soon as the military order fell, there was another sound of neatly unsheathed swords, and then a neat sound of slaughter: "Kill!" ”。
I saw a half-moon-shaped military formation moving slowly, slowly approaching the assassins rushing in front, and the two sides quickly fought together, and suddenly there was a burst of swords and swords.
Although this group of assassins is numerous, agile and swordsmanship, they are fighting alone, and they are neat and consistent compared to the Baibao Xuanjia Army, and they work together tacitly, without any advantage.
Although the assassins were brave and not afraid of death, they were never able to break through the Moon Formation, and were constantly killed by the Baibao Xuanjia Army behind the shield.
In addition to fighting in the battle, Gao Yang also constantly observed the movements of the assassins in front of him, seeing that the death weight loss, the assassins had begun to waver, and some people kept retreating, while the Moon Formation of the Baibao Xuanjia Iron Cavalry continued to advance, forcing towards the enemy.
Several more Assassins who were about to attack were cut down in succession, and suddenly a whistle sounded behind the Assassins, and the attacking Assassins quickly retreated when they heard the whistle......
Gao Yang understood that the Assassins realized that they could not succeed in the assassination, and they were worried that reinforcements from the city would arrive, so they planned to flee.
Hmph, rabble, isn't it so simple to want to go, how can you come as you say, and leave as you say. Thinking of this, he ordered loudly: "Get on the horse, catch up and kill without mercy!" ”
Gao Yang understood that once the assassins retreated, the courage they had just now had been lost, and it was the time for the Iron Cavalry to exert their might. As expected, the group charged on horseback, causing the Assassins to flee for fear of being chased by the cavalry and hacked to death.
Human nature is so selfish, once everyone rushes forward, courage will rise from the bottom of the heart, for fear of being robbed of credit if one step is slow, but once it retreats, that courage will disappear, but there will be a trace of timidity, afraid of being killed one step slower.
Like a killing machine, the Hundred Guards charged back and forth, and the scene was completely one-sided, with shouts, swords, and wails mixed into a magical song that made those present tremble.
