The sound of the second watch, ringing in the silent night, seemed particularly clear, it was already two quarters of the hour, the noisy post house was completely quiet, and the lights in the rooms gradually stopped.

Paine pushed open the door of a room in the backyard and stepped inside.

There was no light in the room, but there was a room of people sitting on the ground. Paine was not surprised, turned and closed the door, walked among the men, and sat down.

These people, before, were all poor people in this official office. At this moment, they were all sitting cross-legged, but they were no longer dressed as the previous errand soldiers, but each of them was wearing tight clothes, with a horizontal knife resting on his lap.

"They were very vigilant, they refused to use the food we provided, the water we provided, everything they took care of themselves, so we lost the opportunity to take them easily. Even in the stable, there are several guards who are heavily armed, and we have no chance to kill their horses. Paine lowered his voice and said softly. Now, we can only wait for the attack to start outside. ”

These people, naturally, are not the previous people in this official post, as early as ten days ago, they were all replaced. And the one who completed all this was naturally Tian Chenghe's handwriting.

"Once the outside starts to attack, their elite forces will inevitably start to defend and even counterattack inside the courtyard. At that time, it was our chance, remember, our target was Li Ze's mother, the Liu couple and Liu Ruyan, and when the time came, Li Ze would definitely gather these people together. Taking them down will inevitably make Li Ze and his subordinates distraught, and once the outside attacks come, they will never have a chance again. ”

Everyone in the room nodded.

"The first group, the second group, followed me to raid the house where the Wang family was."

"The third group went to attack the stable, kill the guards there, drive the horses, and create chaos."

"The fourth group set fires, are all the things that set fire ready?"

Seeing that the leaders of each group nodded their heads to indicate that they were ready, Paine nodded in satisfaction.

"Recharge your energy, when the time comes, the big drama is about to start."

As soon as Paine's words fell, a laugh came from outside the door: "The big show is indeed going to start, but you don't have a chance to watch it." ”

Paine and the others were startled and jumped to their feet.

At this time, the gate suddenly flew in inward, and it was knocked over by two punches, and a tall figure stood at the door, with a huge Mo knife inserted beside him, which was one of Li Ze's guards, Mo knife hand Li Han.

Almost at the same time, the windows around the house shattered, and a crossbow poked through the window.

Paine roared, and the knife was thrown at Li Han at the door, and dozens of other knife men in the room also rushed towards the surroundings with their own knives.

The sound of crossbow arrows was endless, and in such a small area, there was no way to dodge, there was no way to dodge, there was no way to avoid it, and the screams were endless, and the swordsmen fell under the dense crossbow arrows.

Paine rushed out the door, and that was because Li Han took a step back, giving him room to take a step.

Just as Paine had just crossed the threshold, a cold light flashed above his head, and the sound of whistling knives came from top to bottom, like Tarzan pressing down. Paine roared, holding the hilt of his sword in one hand and the back of his knife in the other, and tried his best to meet him.

With a loud bang, the horizontal knife slashed in two, and the Mo knife, which was still extremely fierce, continued downward, slashing down from the top of Paine's head, splitting him in two. The two bodies fell left and right, lying on opposite sides of the door.

Several swordsmen who were lucky enough to escape the crossbow arrows after Paine couldn't get past Li Han's Mo knife, and one of them came out, which was to split Huashan with one move.

In a few breaths, dozens of knife men in the room were all dead.

Li Han stepped on the dripping blood and walked into the house, and outside the broken window, a guard jumped into the house and examined the dead bodies on the ground.

"Whether you die or not, one makes up for the other." Li Han's indifferent voice sounded.

He was responded to by the sound of a knife stabbing into a corpse.

Li Ze stood in an unlit window on the second floor of the post house, coldly watching the massacre. This bureau can not be described as a bad layout, but it is really an endless road, I am afraid that even the person who set up the bureau himself did not expect it, this time even Li Ze never expected the killing array, it is here that the flaws are exposed.

No one thought that for the safety of Li Ze and his entourage, Tu Hu surveyed all the routes traveled by Li Ze as early as January, and what was even more unexpected was that Tu Hu not only remembered the head and face of the post man in this official post, but even remembered the following errands.

And it is precisely because of this that the opponent shows his flaws.

Every time he thought of this, Li Ze's hair stood on end, if it weren't for this, I was afraid that they would have become the prisoners of their opponents at this time, and no one would have imagined that the official post at such a close distance from the eastern capital would become a key point in calculating themselves.

"Childe, the diet and hot water provided by the opponent are indeed added to the sweat medicine!" Yan Jiu's voice sounded behind Li Ze.

Li Ze nodded, and the anger in his heart was even worse.

"Let's get ready, the next big battle is the real highlight, and now it's just an appetizer." Li Ze turned around, looked at Mrs. Wang and the Liu family, Liu Ruyan, and said, "Mother, uncle, uncle, I'm sorry, because of me, I frightened you." ”

Master Liu's body was a little trembling, holding his wife with one hand and Liu Ruyan with the other. Mrs. Liu's face was also pale, and her body trembled slightly, but Liu Ruyan, there was a faint look of excitement in her eyes.

Compared with Master Liu, Mrs. Wang actually seemed very calm, sitting firmly in the chair, lowering her eyelids, and muttering scriptures while picking the rosary in her hand.

There are no other buildings around the official post, and the nearest house is also a hundred steps away from the official post. The entire official post was indeed built strong enough, and the outer wall was high enough, and Li Ze's decision to defend it according to the official post was undoubtedly the most correct choice.

"Jieshuai, the official office more than 500 steps away from the official post has been controlled by us, and the people inside have all been taken, the official office is very spacious, where will the Chengde wolf rider hide." Yu Zhen, the captain of the Chengde wolf cavalry, walked into the door and bowed.

"The number of enemies is unknown, but can you have confidence?" Li Ze asked.

Yu Zhen said with a smile: "Jie Shuai, Chengde wolf rides, there are only 100 horsemen in total, even if there are thousands of horses, we are not afraid, although there are only ten horses now, but it is also a complete combat team." ”

Li Ze nodded: "Captain Yu, you have rich combat experience, you can decide when you should attack." You just need to remember one thing, Chengde wolf rides, if you don't come out, you need to decide the winner or loser. ”

"Yes!" Yu Zhen received the order and turned to leave.

"Childe." Li Han, who was covered in blood, walked into the room and said, "A house on the left two hundred steps away from the official post has been controlled by us, and ten Mo knife fighters will be ready to attack." ”

"As soon as you go out, you may be under siege, are you afraid?" Li Ze asked with a smile.

Li Han smiled: "I'm afraid that there will be fewer people coming, and it will not be enough for us to cut." ”

"Then go and get ready for battle!" Li Ze smiled and waved.

"Chen Changping, the commanding height of the roof will be handed over to you and the ten Khitan warriors. Use your bows and arrows to inflict maximum damage on your enemies. Li Ze said to Chen Changping, who was carrying a big bow.

"Don't worry, Childe." Chen Changping nodded, but turned to look at Yan Jiu and said, "Ninth girl, do you still have the kind of medicine you used to concoct the Aoki Thorn?" Smear a little bit on our feather arrows? ”

Yan Jiu said: "I still have a medicine here to seal my throat with blood, why don't I wipe it like this?" ”

"No, just use the kind of medicine from Aoki Thorn." Chen Changping said with a smile: "That kind of pain is much worse than seeing blood seal the throat, the dead don't know the pain, I want to let these people's screams crush the enemy's will to fight." ”

Tu Hu also came over: "Smear a little on our weapons, do you have enough medicine here?" ”

"Of course it's enough!" Yan Jiu said: "I'll go and melt it with water immediately, and everyone will soak the arrows, knives, and spears in it for a while, and it's done." ”

Inside the official post, everyone is busy.

Li Ze's defense focus is not the main hall in the official post. He chose the kitchen in the official post as the place he guarded, firstly, because the kitchen was basically made of stone, green bricks, and mud in order to prevent fire, and it was much stronger than the main hall in terms of solidity, and secondly, the area of the house was small, which was easier to defend for Li Ze, who was short of manpower, and in the room, there was also a cellar for storing food, and at this moment, Li Ze could hide all the non-combatants in the cellar. If he wants to defend the entire main hall, then his defensive strength is too thin.

Even if Tu Hu joined him, his current combat personnel were less than one hundred and fifty, and after releasing a total of twenty Chengde Wolf Riders and Mo Dao Hands, there were less than one hundred and thirty people left in his available manpower. At this moment, it is Li Ze himself, who has put on oracle bones and helmets, and he will definitely go to the front line in this battle.

"Li Mi, send your wife and others to the cellar to hide." Li Ze waved his hand.

Liu Ruyan suddenly stood up, touched his body, and unexpectedly found a short blade, and said loudly: "I don't have to go to the cellar to hide, I can also fight, Li Yu, do you still have extra armor, the two of us are about the same size." ”

Li Mi was stunned.

Li Ze shook his head with a smile and said, "I have another task for you, that is, to guard the entrance of the cellar." ”

Liu Ruyan still wanted to argue, but Li Ze shook his head firmly, and Master Liu also dragged Liu Ruyan back at this moment.

"What can I do?" Gongsun Changming paced over.

Li Ze said with a smile: "Mr. Gongsun, please also go to the cellar to accompany your mother and uncle and mother, discuss Buddhist scriptures with them, and recite scriptures." ”

Gongsun Changming sighed: "When I get to such a time, I know that it is really useless to be a scholar!" ”
