Chapter 586: Saving People in the Night
Li Mao finally decided to give Yang Qingguo and Mao Xiong a codex each, and ordered the two to ensure that Tutu Chengxuan arrived in Youzhou alive. The two of them immediately took action, following Tutu Chenghuang's brigade all the way, looking for an opportunity to start, but although there were not many people in Tutu Chenghuang's Longxiang camp around him, they were all elites, and it was easy to kill people while they were in chaos, but it was not easy to save people.
On this day, seeing that the brigade was camped outside Huazhou City, and seeing people coming in and out, they knew that the Longxiang camp was about to start, and the two teams of men and horses each drew up a rescue plan, but suddenly found that their own strength alone was not enough to rescue people.
They all have the ability to easily wipe out the small detachment of the Longxiang Battalion, but if they want to rescue people from under the nose of the Longxiang Battalion, the difficulty is too great, so big that no one is sure, and no one is willing to take this risk.
Previously, they fought all the way, Mao Xiong and Yang Qingguo both wanted to make this contribution and make a jackpot in front of Li Mao, so that they could gain a firm foothold in Youzhou in the future, but now they see that it is too difficult, but both of them are humble, you push me to let me, and no one will come forward.
Until the end of the banquet after dark, the two families still couldn't discuss who would save people, so they reached an agreement to wait for the Longxiang camp to destroy Tutu Chenghuang before they started, annihilating the group and avenging Tutu Chenghuang.
Although the person could not be saved, he avenged Tutu Chengguang and brought back his body, so that Li Mao could be given an explanation, and more importantly, this could reduce the casualties as low as possible.
Turning to Li Mao is for the glory and wealth in the future, if people fight out, who will enjoy the glory and wealth in hand
The two families have decided to prepare, each prepares, and when they get to the next watch, they see the opportunity in front of them, and they are about to start, when suddenly a vote of people came from the northeast, a total of seven people, all dressed in black, covering their faces, with strange weapons, they are not good at first glance.
The two judged that this was the killer of the Longxiang Battalion who came to carry out the execution.
The two teams of Tonghutou who were ambushed outside the village hid and did not move according to the prior plan, let this group enter the village, and immediately set off to kill when the news of Tu Chenghuang's death came from inside.
The seven black-clothed people were agile, and they touched the village without alarming anyone all the way, caught a small colonel, and were torturing where Tu Chengguang lived, when suddenly he heard the sound of gold and iron clashing in a small courtyard in front of him.
Everyone was stunned: it was the group of people who made the first move
So he knocked the colonel unconscious and rushed over, but saw two groups of officers and soldiers fighting in and outside the courtyard, a group of people guarding the three main rooms, and a group of people storming the three main rooms.
The leader of the men in black has a headache, these two groups of people are wearing official uniforms, and they are fighting in such a chaotic way, who should they help
The answer was soon clear, although the number of attackers was only five people, they were strong in martial arts and amazing in combat, and they knew that they had undergone special training at a glance at everyone's skills, while the guardian side was sparse in martial arts, and they were only persisting with the courage of their blood.
The leader of the men in black made a gesture, and the group of people spread out into a semicircle, ravaged up, and slit the throats of the three opponents with a single shot. The remaining two people solved one, captured one alive, tortured their identities, and did not say anything about death, and they could not be missed at a critical moment, and their lives were solved with one knife.
There were about a dozen or so guards on the side, most of them were killed, and there were only three or four people left at the moment, and all of them were wounded, and they were already shocked when they saw the strange arrival of the men in black, and when they helped them clear their opponents, it was difficult to distinguish friend from foe for a while, and they were a little at a loss.
The leader of the men in black took out a token and threw it over, saying: "You have no doubt, we are the Longxiang Battalion of the Left Army, and we are ordered to protect the general, so you don't need to be afraid. ”
The leader of the guards took the token and looked at it carefully, and there was no doubt that it was indeed the token of the left army of Shence, so he said: "Someone wants to assassinate Tutu Dutong, and we are desperate to protect it, but the enemy is mixed in his own team, and he can't prevent it, and most of them are killed indiscriminately." You are indeed the men and horses of the Longxiang camp, and you can quickly take all the Tutu away for safety. ”
This remark is exactly what the leader of the men in black wants, and he thanked him, and reminded: "The traitors are mixed in the team, and you must be very careful. When he entered the room, he saw five or six more corpses in the room, and he suddenly vomited and fell drunk, and he was guarded by two personal guards, covered in blood, holding large knives, obviously having just experienced a fierce battle not long ago.
After checking the token of the leader of the men in black, the two guards said happily: "The lieutenant is too drunk to wake up, so he can only carry it on his back." A man in black bent down and vomited suddenly, just out of the room, suddenly heard two muffled sounds behind him, and when he turned to look, the two seriously injured guards had already committed suicide with their swords, presumably because they didn't want to drag everyone down.
As soon as everyone came out of the door, they suddenly heard the noise outside the courtyard, and the torches were dazzling, and no less than 100 people were around. It turned out that the fierce battle here had alarmed the brigade, and everyone was sudden, and their morale was high at the moment, and they surrounded them one after another.
The man in black was startled and hurriedly retreated back into the house, and the injured old soldier smiled and said, "It's okay, they are all here to protect them thanks to the kindness of Tutu Dutong." We people are as humble as grass mustard, it is rare for a noble person like Tutu Dutong to look up to us, what does it matter if he dies" The man in black said: "There are bad people in the team, I'm afraid it's hard to say, if so, what can I do" The old man said: "It's okay, the old man goes to explain to them clearly, you hide first and don't come out." ”
Everyone thought it was reasonable, the three veterans went out to persuade the public not to make a noise, the imperial court has sent people to protect Tutu Dutong Yunyun, everyone heard the words will be suspicious, and is about to disperse, suddenly someone shouted: "That group of people is a liar, don't be credible" The old army said: "They have the token of the left army, how can they be liars, you must have a basis for what you say." The man replied: "The token is dead, the man is alive, and the Longxiang battalion is under the name of the left army, how can anyone call the commander of the army the general instead of a lieutenant, and only the foreign army calls the general to show respect, and these people must be fake." ”
Saying this, the three old soldiers also panicked, and hurriedly opened the courtyard to look for people, but the building was already empty, and no one was seen.
Mao Xiong and Yang Qingguo Dulongxiang battalions who were ambushed outside the village had already solved Tutu Chenghuang, so they looked at each other, and each beckoned his subordinates to prepare to attack, and the two agreed to attack from the east and west at the same time, annihilating this group, snatching back Tutu Chenghuang's body, and giving Li Mao an explanation.
When the order was given, everyone took action, and the encirclement that had been spread out was like a tight encirclement around the village, tightening tighter and tighter.
Suddenly, a group of people crawled out of the ditch behind the village, and the seven black-clothed people who had gone in came out again, one of them was still carrying a person on his back, although it was dark and he couldn't see who it was, Mao Xiong insisted on his intuition that it was Tutu Chengxuan.
As soon as the two of them are combined, they have to grab it regardless of whether they are dead or alive.
After a whistle, the two teams of men and horses suddenly contracted the battle line, surrounding the seven black-clothed people, the seven people were shocked, judging from the skills of the people who were ambushed, they were all elites from a hundred, if these hundred and ten people were killed, how could they resist
The leader of the men in black repeated his old trick, took out the token of the Longxiang camp and said: "Don't get me wrong, we are from the Longxiang camp, and we were ordered to take the lieutenant into the city for refuge, and someone wanted to kill the lieutenant." ”
Mao Xiong smiled: "It's really fake, why haven't we been reported, you are that part"
When the leader of the men in black heard this, he felt that there was a door, so he said, "This so-and-so doesn't know, so-and-so is just acting on orders." ”
"That being the case, cut cut."
Mao Xiong had a smile on his face, but he gestured behind the back of his hand.
"Cut and cut" is the code word in the Long Xiang camp, the meaning of handing over the token, the leader of the men in black also understands, and is busy getting the token.
With a thud, a crossbow bolt hit him in the heart.
A powerful crossbow suddenly activated, and the man in black was caught off guard and was shot down by three people, one of whom was carrying a sudden vomit on his back. Once he succeeded, Mao Xiong moved forward to protect Tutu Chengxuan, his own martial arts were sparse and ordinary, but he knew where he appeared, and the support would appear there, and it was most appropriate to personally come forward to protect Tutu Chenghuang.
Sure enough, six elite warriors held light leather shields to protect him, and without any worries, the bronze tiger head fired arrows in unison, and most of the remaining four black-clothed men were immediately shot down.
Yang Qingguo saw that he was preempted by Mao Xiong, he was angry in his heart, and he grabbed the leader of the man in black and asked about the origin, but the man did not die immediately after being hit by the arrow, and sneered at Yang Qingguo, accumulated a mouthful of blood, and spit out.
Yang Qingguo couldn't dodge, his face was all over his face, in addition to blood, there were some pieces of minced meat.
Two samurai pulled the black leader away and beheaded him on the spot.
Mao Xiong tore open the shirt of a man in black, and was suddenly taken aback: everyone had a black phoenix tattooed on their chests.
Tutu Chengguang escaped from death, and when he saw Li Mao crying bitterly, Li Mao comforted: "The first emperor died, the crown prince ascended the throne, and Li Yun, the king of Yan, was too sad and traveled westward, we are all very sad, but this is how things happen in the world, what should happen will happen, and no one can stop it." I have asked you to be the military envoy of Youzhou, and let them take your family members over, Your Majesty has approved it. ”
Tu Tu Chengguang said: "The virtue of rebirth will never be forgotten, in fact, it is better not to return to Chang'an, in Youzhou, I can finally sleep peacefully." ”
