Chapter 643: Lightning
As soon as Dong Chao entered the backyard, a lightning bolt crossed the sky, illuminating the entire backyard, and the scene that caught his eyes made Dong Chao's complexion change dramatically in an instant, and his whole body trembled violently, and his heart became terrified.
How so?!
Although after a flash of lightning, it was already pitch black in front of him, but those fallen figures were still clearly imprinted in his pupils, and the screams mixed with the scorching rain were still ringing one after another.
Ambush!
Dong Chao almost wanted to turn around and flee in an instant, once he was ambushed, it was the host and guest who were in a different position, and their sneak attack instantly turned into a sneak attack, how could the result be good!
But he knew that the failure of the mission would ruin Dong Cheng's big business, and he would not be able to escape heavy punishment when he went back to see Dong Cheng.
"Formation! Retreat to the promenade for defense! ”
Dong Chao hissed and roared, but the fierce rain drowned out his roar.
The scorching rain was the best cover, but once he was ambushed, he couldn't even command, Dong Chao was extremely resentful of the scorching rain at this moment!
If it were not for this fierce rain, it would have been a forcible attack and a fierce battle, and it would not have been so powerless.
"Dong Guang! Dong Guang! Dong Chao yelled twice and did not respond, his heart sank, Dong Guang was afraid that there would be more and less luck, he couldn't help but be even more frightened, and hurriedly retreated to the front yard corridor with his personal guards, while sending people to the back door to summon the three hundred people, and at the same time sending people to collect the chaotic soldiers in the courtyard, ready to assemble to fight.
In the night rain, they couldn't see clearly three steps away, and they even fought each other in the rainy night, and they could only distinguish between friend and foe with the torches under the corridor, and form a formation to deal with it.
The soldiers who were holding umbrellas for Dong Chao had long since disappeared, and the pouring rain drenched his entire body, and his clothes and armor were attached to his body, heavy and cold.
Standing under the corridor, listening to the screams coming from the darkness, Dong Chao's heart became even colder, can he fight again? This is the only trade-off in Dong Chao's mind at this time.
Pop!
Another bolt of lightning swept through the sky, and the long one almost hit the courtyard, almost hit the courtyard, and the situation that shone made Dong Chao's face as white as the world at this moment!
He finally saw the guards of the Great General's Mansion clearly, what kind of situation this was, and he was shocked to stand up in an instant! There is no longer a trace of war!
I saw a burly man wearing helmets and iron armor, he couldn't see his face, he couldn't cut with a knife, he couldn't pierce a spear, he couldn't shoot through an arrow, Dong Chao even suspected that he couldn't even splash the torrential rain into it, it was desperate!
What's even more terrifying is that the iron armor is not only strong in defense, but also fierce in attack, holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, the blade is more than four feet long, scattering coldness and slaughter.
A few thunderbolts shone in the sky, Dong Chao clearly saw the cold light flashing, his men screamed in horror one by one, human heads flew up, blood spurted, mixed with torrential rain, and in a blink of an eye, only the corpses that fell to the ground remained.
And those black-armored soldiers are pressing over step by step!
Dong Chao was so shocked that he took two steps back, he didn't know how many such ironclad soldiers there were in the General's Mansion, but as long as there were a hundred, they wouldn't be able to resist tonight.
"Retreat to the gate!"
Dong Chao shouted and ordered, he only wanted to escape from this terrible general's mansion at this time.
Those subordinates were panicking, they had no will to fight, they were panicked, and when they got Dong Chao's order, they were all ecstatic, and immediately rushed along the corridor with torches to the gate where they came.
But after only a dozen steps, a shout came from the front: "There is an ambush at the gate...... Ahh
With a few screams, another thunderbolt flashed, and as far as the eye could see, there were already ironclad soldiers at the gate!
Dong Chao almost fainted, and he was desperate, so he could only change the order again: "Stick to the corridor!"
The soldiers who rushed to the gate hurried back into the corridor.
Dong Chao looked at the frightened subordinates, and he didn't know how to advance or retreat, and at this moment, something even more terrifying happened to him!
A crossbow bolt passed through his ear, and a scream suddenly came from behind him, and he hurriedly looked back to see a soldier lying on the ground.
This is definitely not a feathered arrow, but a crossbow arrow, fast and fast.
And crossbowmen!
Only one thought flashed through Dong Chao's mind, and the crossbow arrows had been shot one by one from the dark rainstorm.
Each one brought a scream, close to the ear!
And they don't see the enemy in the shadows!
Dong Chao reacted suddenly, and they lit torches here, shining like guiding lights in the dark night, making them targets one by one.
"Extinguish the torches!" Dong Chao hid behind a pillar and roared.
Seeing those subordinates throwing torches on the ground in a panic but couldn't step on them, Dong Chao yelled angrily: "Stupid! Throw the torch into the rain outside the porch!"
Then the men reacted and hurriedly threw the torches into the rain, which was so heavy that the torches thrown out were instantly extinguished.
The corridor darkened, Dong Chao breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was still beating wildly, he once again realized that it was a mistake to choose to act on a rainy night!
And choosing to do it to Zhang Liao is even more of a mistake!
Because judging from the situation in the General's Mansion, Zhang Liao was clearly prepared, with Zhang Liao's power, if he had been prepared, what would be the result of General Dong and the Son of Heaven's plan?
He didn't dare to think about it.
The top priority at the moment is to escape and report the news to General Dong, and to atone for his crimes.
Dong Chao turned out of the pillar and was about to check the enemy's situation, when a sword light suddenly came in the confused night rain.
"Hmm......" Dong Chao only let out a half-grunt in his throat, the sword light had been withdrawn, and a stream of blood shot out of Dong Chao's throat.
In the fog, Dong Chao only saw a figure enter the corridor, the gaze in the eyes was extremely cold, and then he saw the bloody blade.
He didn't even have time to feel the pain, he just subconsciously reached out to cover his throat, but his body became softer and softer, and his throat was also blocked by a stream of heat, which gushed out of his mouth and nose.
"Hurry ......"
Dong Chao's pupils gradually dilated, and he fell to the ground softly.
Shi A, who rushed in, pierced the enemy general's throat with a sword, and after only one glance, he rushed at the others.
His whole person is like a butterfly piercing flowers, extremely smart, a sword stabs out, one person falls, it is a real ten steps to kill one person, thousands of miles without leaving.
He was followed by the most elite Shadow Guard, followed by the Iron Tiger Guard, and as soon as Dong Chao died, his subordinates were already in chaos and had lost the power to resist.
In the entire Great General's Mansion, in the front yard and backyard, the invading Dong Cheng soldiers and horses were all being slaughtered, whether it was combat power or equipment, they were completely crushed.
Dong Cheng, who was still waiting for good news in General Zuo's Mansion, didn't know at all that he called himself a brave and fierce elite to rely on, and he was vulnerable under Zhang Liao's Shadow Guard and Tiger Guard.
In less than half an hour, the general's mansion was quiet again, and under the lightning, only corpses were seen.
Even if he was lucky enough to escape with the help of the night rain and hide under Dong Cheng's men in the shadows, he didn't dare to storm the gate.
It's just that after dawn, what awaits them is death.
As invaders, they can only wait in despair for their impending fate.
