Chapter 418: All or Nothing (6)
Time passed little by little, and Li Mo was anxious to wait outside the courtyard. As the sound of fighting in the yard became more and more tragic, Li Mo finally couldn't help it.
Li Mo was greedy for life and afraid of death in his bones, and seeing that things had developed in the worst direction, Li Mo was ruthless, left the two horses in place, and escaped on horseback by himself.
While running, Li Mo also comforted himself: "For such an important matter, someone has to go back to report to Gongzi." I left for the sake of the overall situation, so I can't escape from the battle! ”
In the courtyard, after the first round of temptation, both sides also knew each other's strength.
Qian Yun knew that Liu Tiantian and Zhang Gui were powerful, so he immediately ordered and said: "Surround them, don't attack rashly, shoot them with bows and arrows!" ”
When the soldiers heard Qian Yun's words, they immediately wanted to form a circle. But Liu Tiantian and Zhang Gui understood that once they were separated from the soldiers, it would be difficult to resist the attack of the bow and arrow. So the two of them desperately killed the crowd, not giving the enemy a chance to shoot arrows.
Hua Wu stood on the periphery and vaguely recognized Liu Tiantian, but he was not sure. So he immediately came to the rear and reported to Gongsun Yang and Wei Chang: "His Royal Highness, General Wei, his subordinates look at that assassin with familiar eyes, a bit like the little Taoist priest next to Zhang Shumo!" ”
When Gongsun Yang heard this, he immediately became nervous: Could it be that they came with him? Could it be that Zhang Shumo had already begun to doubt himself, so he let his subordinates follow him?
Thinking of this, Gongsun Yang couldn't help but get anxious, so he immediately said to Hua Wu: "Take me to see!" ”
When Wei Chang heard this, he hurriedly stopped Gongsun Yang: "Your Royal Highness, the assassin is fierce, I only have two hundred guards in this courtyard, in case you show up and kill the target of the assassin, then your subordinates can't afford this responsibility!" ”
Gongsun Yang's martial arts are not high, he knows that Liu Tiantian can fight Xu Xuan without falling behind, and he will definitely not be Liu Tiantian's opponent. So Gongsun Yang immediately asked Wei Chang: "Since there is a shortage of manpower, why don't you send more people?" ”
Wei Chang hurriedly explained: "Wang Shui has already dispatched people, it should be almost there!" ”
After hearing this, Gongsun Yang looked at Hua Wu again: "Pass my order, no matter what method is used, you can't let the assassin leave alive!" ”
On the other side, Li Mo rode to the street, and before he had gone far, he saw a large group of people and horses at the far end of the street rushing towards him. Li Mo immediately realized that it was the other party's reinforcements that had arrived, so he immediately turned his horse and ran back.
When Wang Shu, who came with the troops, saw Li Mo fleeing, he naturally thought that he was an assassin who had escaped from the courtyard, and immediately said to his subordinates: "Quick, catch this person, don't let him escape!" ”
After speaking, Wang Shumeng grabbed the horse's belly and rushed towards Li Mo with a team of cavalry.
Li Mo panicked, and returned to the courtyard just now. Li Mo knew that there was a dead end next to the courtyard, so he might as well give it a go.
So Li Mo drew his saber and rode his horse without slowing down, rushing towards the gate of the courtyard.
Due to the chaos in the courtyard, the gate was not closed, and Li Mo rode a horse and rushed directly into the courtyard. At this time, all the guards in the courtyard were concentrated in the side courtyard to the west to encircle and suppress the assassins, so there was not even a single figure in the courtyard. Li Mo already knew the general location of the fighting courtyard before, so he rushed to the west courtyard without hesitation.
Fortunately, there are only two partial courtyards in the east and west of this courtyard, and Li Mo directly found the right place. In the west courtyard, most of the guards surrounded Liu Tiantian and Zhang Gui in the middle of the courtyard, and only a pair of soldiers stayed at the gate of the courtyard to guard Gongsun Yang and Wei Chang!
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Liu Tiantian and Zhang Gui, and no one expected that someone would suddenly be killed behind him. When Gongsun Yang, Wei Chang and the others heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, they instinctively looked back, but found a man and a horse, carrying knives and wanting them to rush!
The team responsible for guarding the two was only about ten people, and Li Mo suddenly killed from behind, and everyone was caught off guard. Li Mo relied on the momentum of the horse to directly scatter the pair of soldiers and go straight to Gongsun Yang.
Seeing this, Wei Chang didn't think much about it, and immediately protected Gongsun Yang behind him. But Li Mo couldn't control it so much, and slashed at Wei Chang with a knife. Wei Chang instinctively dodged backwards, but collided with Gongsun Yang behind him, and both of them fell to the ground. But this fall just escaped Li Mo's fatal one, and only a cut was made in the shoulder.
Although Li Mo was greedy for life and afraid of death, his brain was not confused at the critical moment, and he knew that if he wanted to escape at this time, he had to take important people as hostages. Originally, Li Mo wanted to kidnap Gongsun Yang, but after Wei Chang fell to the ground, he pressed on Gongsun Yang's body, Li Mo had no choice, grabbed Wei Chang's belt, and used all his strength to capture him on his horseback!
"Stop! Otherwise I'll kill you! After Li Mo stabilized the horse, he immediately put the knife on Wei Chang's neck, and then shouted at everyone.
When everyone heard Li Mo's loud shout, they all stopped. Liu Tiantian and Zhang Gui were overjoyed when they saw Li Mo capture the other party's main general, and immediately came to Li Mo's side carefully.
"I've seen you, you're Zhang Shumo's subordinate! Say, why are you stalking me? Gongsun Yang immediately recognized Li Mo and pointed at him and asked.
Li Mo was about to speak, but Liu naturally stopped him. Liu naturally knew in his heart that if he explained his true thoughts to Gongsun Yang, then they would definitely not let their group leave safely. In the process of escaping just now, Liu naturally found that Hua Wu was very similar to the man in black who led him out that night. So he pointed at him and said, "Who is following you?" We're here to catch the Men in Black! Speaking of this, Liu naturally asked Hua Wu again: "Say, did you lure me out that night?" ”
Both Hua Wu and Gongsun Yang understood what Liu Tian was talking about, and Gongsun Yang couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that they really only came for Hua Wu?
But adhering to the principle that it is better to kill by mistake than to let go, Gongsun Yang still said: "Hmph! Don't try to divert our attention, I advise you to be obedient and arrested, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind! ”
When Li Mo heard this, the knife in his hand was tightly attached to Wei Chang's neck, and Wei Chang's neck was marked with a bloody mark: "Come on, as long as you dare to move, I will kill him first!" ”。
Wei Chang was in pain, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness save me!" ”
Gongsun Yang clenched his fists and wanted to give up Wei Chang to kill the three of them, just when he was about to give an order, Hua Wu suddenly came behind him and said softly in his ear: "His Royal Highness, Wei Chang is the general of the private soldiers of the Second Highness, we will let these private soldiers work tomorrow, if we give up their leaders now, it will inevitably make them feel cold, and when the time comes, the army will be unstable, I am afraid that there will be chaos!" ”
