Chapter 405: Assassinating General Hu Soldiers
As the commander of nearly 100,000 border troops around Datong, Hu Sui had to deal with countless official and military affairs every day, but even so, he still maintained a habit for ten years, that is, every three days, he would take his own soldiers to inspect the military camps on the four sides of Datong.
In this way, you can get in close contact with the soldiers at the bottom, so that you can more easily understand their demands. Second, it is also a means to get closer to the soldiers below, so that once the war breaks out, he can command the three armies more efficiently.
The morning of the 19th day of the lunar month was also ordinary, at the end of the end of the month, the beginning of the month, had already practiced kung fu, and the sweaty Hu Zongbing was already dressed neatly, surrounded by more than 50 personal soldiers, and rode out of the house, along the empty street towards the military camp near him in the north city.
He has been walking this road for nearly seven years, and every alley and tree here has been deeply imprinted in Hu Sui's mind, so when he moves forward, he doesn't have to deliberately look at the road, only when some early people walk by the roadside, he will pull the reins a little, so that the war horse under his crotch will be troubled.
As for his mind, the battle that might happen was still spinning at the moment. Although he still trusts Lu Jin, but the matter is big, he still won't fully accept it, so he also summoned several subordinates in the city the night before to remind and arrange the city defense, as for the soldiers and horses in the fortress outside the city, he has no intention of transferring back, he has to wait and see, and wait for the scout sent to spy outside early yesterday morning to bring news, so that he can make further plans.
After all, he has an important position, and every decision he makes must be responsible for Datong's 100,000 army, as well as hundreds of thousands of people, and also responsible for the imperial court.
"If what Lu Zhen said is true, then there will definitely be an assassin of the Tartars who will attack my idea in the next two days. However, with the heavy security of Datong and the tight defense of our General Military Palace, those assassins should not be able to find any chance of getting under. And if they really want to assassinate me, I'm afraid this should be the best opportunity......" Unconsciously, Hu Sui's mind thought of this, and while thinking about this possibility, his eyes also looked around with some vigilance.
At this glance, he caught a glimpse of a cold light flashing from the top of a shop somewhere in front of him on the left. Although it was only a flash, it had already made his heart suddenly mention, and his body had subconsciously moved to the side.

As Hu Sui thought, it was not easy for the Mongol Assassin to assassinate him, the general soldier of a town. Because he doesn't usually haunt the city, and his mansion has three hundred elite soldiers, in addition to the hundred guards at the front door, there are also dozens of soldiers guarding the left and right doors and the back door.
That's not all, even in the mansion, there are also two teams of soldiers who patrol and cruise from time to time and constantly alternate day and night. If the guy who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall dared to attack the general military mansion, let alone pose a threat to Hu Sui, I am afraid that he would not even find anyone else, and he would have to be directly culled or captured alive by these soldiers and horses.
Kantel, who goes by the pseudonym Jin Junsheng, naturally found out this difficulty a long time ago, so in the end he came to the conclusion that if he wanted to assassinate Hu Sui, he had to do it outside.
Fortunately, General Hu has been in the habit of getting up early to inspect the barracks for several years, so this has become the best and only opportunity for the Mongolian assassins to attack him.
After infiltrating Datong City, these Mongolian assassins kept tracking Hu Sui's movements, and on the other hand, they searched for suitable hiding places and assassination places on his daily path, hoping to succeed in a single blow.
Today, the place where they hid was the best place they had found in those days—on top of a satin fur shop along the street. Not only is the view wide enough here, but it is only half a stone's throw from the main street, and there are cornices on the top of this shop, which is just enough for a person to hide in it and not be discovered early.
One of the best bows and arrows in the clan was placed in this important position. As soon as it was dark, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, and then saw the slaughtering and silent cavalry appear in front of him.
When he recognized at a glance that the uniformed general in the middle of the team was the target Hu Sui, he immediately took out the bow on the side and took an arrow from the side that had already been soaked in wolf venom. This wolf poison is a highly poisonous thing on the grassland, it is the horse of the divine horse, and if it is shot by this arrow, it will be a death, let alone just an ordinary man.
Calculating the distance between the other party and himself, and when they were within range, he held his breath, mounted his arrow, pulled the string, and aimed at his target. Although Hu Sui was already within his own range, in order to hit with one blow, he still waited for a while, and when the other party came closer, he let go of the bowstring that was drawn like a full moon while exhaling a breath of turbidity!
"Hum!" The bowstring bounced violently after being released, and after it was reset, it trembled even more, and at the same time, the feathered arrow on it quickly pushed away, turning into a phantom, and rushing away from the front of the target with a sharp whistle of breaking through the air.
The moment the arrow was fired, the archer even felt like he could see the result of the other party's death by this piercing head. He was 100% sure that he could hit this arrow, even if the other party heard the arrow and hurriedly dodged, it was too late.
But the subsequent changes made the archer stunned. Just when the arrow was flying in the air, and there was still a distance from Hu Sui, he suddenly turned sideways, and actually dodged to the side before the arrow hit him.
The "Hu ......" arrow almost grazed Hu Sui's ears and flew behind him, he could even feel a burning pain in the pinna, and then the arrow stabbed into the forehead of an unprepared soldier behind him, and he fell to the ground and died before he could let out a scream.
Because this arrow had completely pierced through his hard skull, shattering his entire Heavenly Spirit Cover. This result alone shows how powerful this arrow is.
Hu Sui's face turned pale, if he hadn't discovered something bad earlier, I'm afraid this arrow might really kill him!
Even more surprising was the Assassin archer. He could never have imagined that the arrow he was determined to win would be dodged by others. This had never happened to him before, because he was convinced of the speed and intensity of his arrow, and that there was no way to dodge unless the opponent dodged it at the same time as he shot it or earlier.
He obviously didn't expect that waiting for a moment before he shot this arrow revealed his intentions, which gave Hu Sui time to dodge.
And with this arrow missing, it was obviously unrealistic for him to think about a second assassination. Because at the same time as the soldier behind him fell, the others around Hu Sui had quickly gathered and shouted: "There are assassins!" Protect your adults! Swords and spears had been raised, and even several shields had been raised, surrounding Hu Sui. At this time, even a few more archers would not be able to pose any threat to Hu Sui.
At the same time, more than a dozen soldiers did not need Hu Sui's order, and swooped towards the shop where the archers were hiding like tigers descending from the mountain.
The archers hurriedly fired several arrows in succession, and although they did knock down three of the soldiers who were rushing with all their might, it did not affect the others at all, and soon several of them were already under him, and quickly stepped on the gap and killed him. Obviously, once he was approached as an archer, there were only two left—to die, or to be captured alive.
And in front of Hu Sui, there has been a small riot. The people who had passed by him were affected by this sudden change, and they all screamed in surprise, and scurried around like headless flies, causing chaos in the otherwise quiet streets.
And it was these people who ran around and jumped around, and they directly knocked a short man pushing a wooden cart to the side. With his exclamation, the wooden cart under his control actually tilted to the side, and then the two large wooden barrels placed on the cart also overturned out.
Suddenly, the screams were louder, because everyone was the first to start, and the barrel was actually filled with dung—it turned out to be the man who had come out in the morning to help collect the night incense. It would be disgusting if such filth fell on one's head.
Even the pro-soldiers who were guarding Hu Sui's side subconsciously flashed to the side, with a look of disgust on their faces.
But in such a move, the guards who were originally blocking Hu Sui's side exposed a flaw, and at this moment, one of the people closest to them made a force with his foot, and the whole person rushed towards Hu Sui in the middle like a moth throwing fire, and a blue short knife had already appeared in his hand, obviously the blade was also highly poisonous.
His movements were so fast that before those pro-soldiers could react, he had already rushed straight to Hu Sui from the gap, and with a loud cry in his mouth, the knife in his hand had been stabbed directly.
At the same time, on the other side, a strong man also rushed over with all his strength in a loud shout, crashing straight into this circle of pro-soldiers, and he actually wanted to rely on this brute force to break through the defense line.
All this is complicated, but in fact, it only happened in the blink of an eye, and a few soldiers over there had just reached the roof, and before they could hand at the archers, a new wave of assassinations had begun. Moreover, one of them had already killed Hu Sui directly, and the sword general in his hand was already close to Hu Zongbing's chest.
This assassin had a hideous face, but there was a burst of joy in his heart, as long as this knife was implemented, the commander of the three armies of Datong would definitely die! But at this moment, he found that Hu Sui in front of him actually smiled at himself......
