Chapter 387: Assassination
"Not good!" Tang Li was then taken aback again, and hurriedly spoke: "Your Excellency, be careful, there may be assassins among the guests!" All the guards guarded the king, and no guest was allowed to approach the king. ”
"What?" Tian Wen was startled again, and then immediately looked left and right, beware of the surrounding guests.
Then Tian Wen saw Wei Fang, who was also looking around in horror not far away.
If it is an assassin, Tian Wen thinks that the most likely to break out is the Wei Fang, but he is least worried about the Wei Fang, because he has already ordered the personal guards to focus on guarding against the Wei Fang, as long as the Wei Fang breaks out, then immediately chop him into meat sauce.
At the same time, the disciples around Tian Wen were all on guard against their companions, lest one of them be an assassin.
After Tang Li finished speaking, time seemed to pause for two seconds, and a chaotic sound suddenly came from the city wall not far away.
"Kill! Welcome the king into the city! Several groups of guests who were bravely resisting the Song army suddenly turned against them and pounced on the surrounding Qi army.
"Ahh The screams kept ringing out, this was a sneak attack by a traitor in the Qi army.
"Damn, there are traitors..." The nearby Qi army watched the traitor's sneak attack and was furious.
"The city is broken... Everybody run..." This is a traitor who disturbs the morale of the army.
·····
Not long after, the Qi army on the city wall here collapsed instantly, and then it was emptied by the Song army.
At this point, the Song army finally took control of a section of the city wall.
Tian Wen, including the guards and the doormen, had not yet reacted from Tang Li's words, and the Song army over there seized the city wall under the advice of the guests.
Stunned, a doorman beside Tian Wen seriously flashed a trace of murderous intent, and then glanced at the other two people.
The two of them nodded, and then they burst out at the same time, rushing towards Meng Weijun, who was being guarded by the pro-guard regiment.
"Be careful!" The guards and guests who were the first to react immediately reminded them.
When Tian Wen was reminded and reacted, the three assassins had already succeeded in sneak attack, killing several guards in a row, and gradually approaching Tian Wen.
Tian Wen saw that the three assassins had already killed five steps away, and sneered, unmoved.
As a result, the three assassins were barely able to take three steps before being hacked to death by the guards who reacted.
Tian Wen looked at Wei Fang, who participated in the siege of the assassin, in surprise, he did not take the opportunity to assassinate, but helped the guards to kill the assassin, which was a bit strange.
This man said that he was loyal, but he had an abnormal relationship with his wife, which is infidelity. Call him unfaithful, but actively participate in intercepting the assassins who came to assassinate him.
This man, it's so complicated!
After the assassin was hacked to death, one of the guests who participated in the assassin's death, with an anxious face, looked at the city wall occupied by the Northern Song army, and asked very worriedly: "Your Majesty, the Song army has already occupied a section of the city wall, what should we do now?" ”
Hearing this, the hearts of the surrounding doormen who had just let go instantly rose again.
Although Meng Weijun was rescued, Xue Cheng was not out of danger.
Tian Wen snorted coldly, tilted his head and looked at the city wall occupied by the Song army, and was about to open his mouth to give an order, when he heard a frightened reminder:
"Be careful."
Tian Wen was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a long sword stabbing at his head with a cold light, and the person who shot it was the guest who had just participated in hacking the assassin to death and then questioning.
Although at this time, there were already many assassins of the personal guards to block the attack, and the assassin had been seriously injured, but this assassin was obviously a well-trained dead soldier, and he was extremely close to Tian Wen, ignoring the other personal guards, and did not care about his own injuries.
Seeing that the long sword was getting closer and closer to him, Tian Wen wanted to retreat, but his legs froze and he couldn't move. For a while, Tian Wen was frightened and frightened, and suddenly found that he was so close to death.
Just when Tian Wen's head was only a foot away from the tip of the sword, Wei Fang, who was not far from the assassin, reacted at this time, and the guards who didn't care about Meng Yanjun were besieging the assassin, and seeing that the long sword was about to stab Meng Yanjun, he immediately stepped forward and braved many sharp swords to knock the assassin down.
After the assassin was pounced, he could not stab a second sword before being hacked to death by his guards.
Of course, the doorman guards who were rolling with the assassins were more or less also affected by the pond fish, but they were only injured but not killed.
The second assassination, from the beginning to the end, was extremely short, and it was over in a flash of light.
It was so fast that before Chen Tong, who was about to fish in troubled waters, could react, the assassin knelt down there, and Meng Weijun's guests were already staring at the other guests vigilantly, lest there be a third assassination.
In addition, in the face of two assassinations in succession, Meng Weijun was all motionless and confident, so he knew that Tian Wen had already prepared.
Chen Tong could only sigh that the opportunity could not be lost, and it would not come again.
At this time, Tang Li spoke again: "All the relatives and guards protect the king, and the other guests immediately stay away from the king, so as not to cause misunderstanding." ”
The chaotic situation was gradually brought under control, and when the situation stabilized a little, Tang Li spoke not far from Meng Weijun: "Your Majesty, there must be more than these four assassins, in order to avoid the assassination incident from happening again, please check the guests!" ”
Tian Wen pondered for a moment, shook his head, and rejected Tang Li's suggestion.
Inventory of guests, while right, is not appropriate.
Now, the people in the city are already in turmoil, and if they check the guests, then the guests will inevitably be centrifuged, and even the guests who are recruited by heavy profits will not live, so who else can he rely on?
More importantly, Tian Wen believes that people can't stand up to scrutiny.
Now Tian Wen's eyes are more complicated and looking at Wei Fang who is being treated on the ground, this person can be said to be loyal, but once it is checked, this person is still not loyal?
After this incident, Tian Wen suddenly realized that it only takes a big section to attract guests, a little bit of a small section, why bother.
After all, no one is perfect, and no one is perfect!
Thinking about it, Tian Wen opened his mouth as if he had been empowered: "There is no need to check the guests, Wen believes that the dead soldiers sent by the King of Song are either dying here, or they are receiving the Song army into the city, and there are absolutely no other dead soldiers." ”
"The most important thing right now..." As he spoke, Tian Wen looked at the section of the city wall controlled by the Song army with a heavy face, and said, "Hold the city wall without losing it, and drive the Song army down." Guests, come with me, and together we will drive the Song army off the city wall. ”
Tang Li nodded, did not continue to insist, and saw that Meng Weijun had already led his personal guards to kill the lost city wall, and immediately followed.
As Tian Wen led the guests to the personal guard, the Qi army, which was constantly retreating, was supported by the sovereign, its morale was restored, and the number of people was no longer at a disadvantage, and it suddenly slowed down the pace of retreat.
But in the face of the constant impact of the Song army, that's all.
Elsewhere, there was also a loss at this time, and the walls were becoming more and more critical.
After a period of time, the Qi army in the city finally came to help, with the support of the new army, and other places are good to say, they have been able to hold the city wall without loss, but this large section of the city wall that was lost has not been recaptured.
