Chapter 147: Murder Night
The dark canopy of the sky slowly covered the entire earth under the loneliness of the afterglow of dusk, and in the grass outside the city of Taoyi, from time to time there was a neat and slightly messy sound of small footsteps, the crisp impact of iron pieces and iron sheets, and the loud and long sound of the long sword into the sheath, mixed with the noisy dialect of the Qi land.
Soon, the black canopy was pulled down, and the orange blazing torches lit up, and with the help of the afterglow, you could barely see the fine armor and dense human heads.
"General Meng, the Tiger Camp of 300, and the 6th rate of 3,000 have been assembled." A general said to Meng Ao.
Meng Ao glanced around, the neat and solemn army was the biggest guarantee for their trip, he couldn't help but think of the plan of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago, his heart was a little chilling, but he poured out deep admiration, he stroked the lines of the long sword scabbard on his waist, with a trace of nervousness on his face, looked at the Taoyi City in the distance, and said: "Now it's up to Cai Zhan to do it." ”
Just when his thoughts were scattered, the general said with a little excitement: "General, Cai Zhan is here." ”
Cai Ze was wearing a black regular clothes, which was not obvious in the dark night, but Meng Ao recognized him at a glance, holding an arm-length cloth silk on his long white but thin fingers.
The two eyes were a little bulging on the thin face, the cheeks were very thin, and the forehead, which was not very high, was exposed, and the pale face without blood said quickly: "I have got the things." ”
After finishing speaking, he gasped fiercely, it can be seen that he came in a hurry, and tightly stuffed the cloth in his hand on the hard armor on Meng Ao's chest, and then said: "I sent twenty scouts to pretend to be craftsmen this time, and the terrain of the three families up and down has been recorded on it, these maps have been compared, and the scouts don't know each other, so there should be no mistakes." ”
Meng Ao nodded, the hand holding the hilt of the sword slowly loosened, looked at Cai Ze with a frown, and said, "You're fine!" ”
Unexpectedly, Cai Ze shook his head, the narrow black regular clothes were a little swollen on him, and the weak appearance made people can't stop worrying, he took a step back, bowed deeply to Meng Ao and said: "General Meng, this time I have a deep hatred, I hope General Meng can help me repay him." ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, raised his miserable white and emaciated face that bulged out of his eyes, his eyes shone with hatred, and he clenched his teeth and said, "I want them to destroy the three clans." ”
Meng Ao nodded heavily, not to mention his friendship with Cai Ze, but to say that this time the rescue of the three relatives of the three families could not live, otherwise there would be great harm to the rule of Taoyi.
Seeing Meng Ao's nod, the resentment in Cai Ze's heart relaxed a little, and he finally fainted.
"Come on, help Cai Zhan to rest." Meng Ao shouted around.
.......
The Hua family's house, under the dark canopy, can not see the entire Hua family's radius, but as the nobles of the Song Kingdom, the Hua family has been standing in Taoyi City for hundreds of years, so long that others have forgotten when it was built, only know that this house is extremely luxurious.
The carved gallery and painting building everywhere, dozens of steps behind the gate of the house, there is a courtyard wall about two canes high, this height is only a little lower than the city wall, but it is different from the blue bricks wrapped in the outside of the city wall, and the inside is clay, the courtyard wall is all made of green bricks, there is a corner tower on the courtyard wall, the square hole left on the corner tower can be used for the armor to put arrows in it, and you can see that the width of the courtyard wall is several zhang wide when you look down on the high place, and there is no problem with running horses on it.
Passing through the courtyard wall, the seemingly luxurious places inside are full of hidden mechanisms, or impregnable bronze gates, or decorated square holes, which can be used for bows and arrows to fire....
The family on the watchtower yawned four or five times in succession, and the weather today was the same as usual, under the quiet sky, the occasional birdsong, everything was very ordinary.
He doesn't know when the last dangerous time was, maybe it was his parents, his grandparents, this impregnable family house seems to have been in danger since it was built.
The Warring States world outside seems to have only had an impact on the wild people outside the country, and the people who died in the war and killed them did not include them, because they had been Fahrenheit's slaves or family members for generations, and they were limited in their freedom and safety.
However, today's silence seems unusual!
The birdsong stopped abruptly!
Suddenly, a roaring crossbow arrow shot towards his face, and before he had time to think about anything, the crossbow arrow had already passed through his face.
His heart suddenly stopped, and blood slowly flowed down his cheeks, soaking the dusty blue bricks, but under the black canopy, it all seemed elusive.
Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!
Everything was quiet until the grappling hook that probed into the courtyard wall was discovered, and the light of orange torches instantly illuminated the entire land of Taoyi from sparse dots.
"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"
The sound of the continuous stream of water suddenly resounded throughout the land, and the lights gradually expanded from one point to one point until they were as bright as day.
I saw that under the courtyard wall, there was a Qi army wearing purple armor who was hitting the gate under the courtyard wall with the wood over and over again, and Tong Tong's voice was particularly eye-catching under the dark sky, and the shouting overshadowed the entire earth again and again.
Finally, before the family members could react, the copper socket on the gate finally began to loosen and fall, only to hear a click, and the gate finally fell to the ground.
The black-pressed army began to pour into the gate like a tidal wave.
Hua Sheng hurriedly walked out in his gorgeous clothes, and before he fastened his belt, he saw that the purple wave was slaughtering the soldiers with weapons over and over again.
Because of the armor and close cooperation, the purple Qi army was like a massacre, and it was rare to see anyone die in battle! They shouted the trumpet, because it was the dialect of Qidi, Hua Sheng could only hear the general idea, that is: "Hua's involvement in the private possession of armor soldiers, intending to rebel, restore the Song Kingdom, and kill without mercy!" ”
Hua Sheng's forehead instantly began to break out in a cold sweat, this is a trumped-up crime, and the idea of returning to the country is just a thought, how can there be so many thoughts, he said anxiously to the people around him: "Go and gather the bronze armor soldiers." His mung bean-sized eyes opened his eyes to see all this, like a knife in the heartache.
The bronze armor soldiers are the family soldiers handed down from generation to generation of Hua's family, and the armor they wear is the finest bronze armor, which is the family background of the previous generations of family owners just in case, and the bronze armor soldiers are composed of Hua's clansmen, and their loyalty is undoubted.
I saw that the green armor soldiers slowly poured out from the back house of the Hua family, they were wearing fine armor, and the whole person was surrounded tightly, leaving only two eyes exposed.
The sound of "stabbing lala" sounded, and these green waves rushed to the purple waves, and in an instant, green and purple were entangled together, and there were suddenly purple corpses on the ground, but there was no green corpse.
Meng Ao's eyes shrank in the rear, this guy is even tighter than Wei Wushu, Wei Wushu wears iron armor, and he has to wear a few pieces of cotton armor inside, now these bronze armor soldiers are in a narrow space, they have enough defense, others can't hurt him, they can only be slaughtered, although such equipment is not advisable between the army, but if it is in close combat, it is enough sharp weapon.
When Wu Qi led 50,000 Wei Wushu to break 500,000 Qin troops, not only Wu Qi's merits, Wei Wushu is also indispensable, without Wei Wushu, Wei will not dominate for 50 years, but Wei Wushu is strong, but it is not easy to supplement, in the battle of Guiling commanded by Sun Bin, the battle of Maling, Qi will Wei State is uncomfortable, and finally Shang Ying led the Qin army to recover the land of Kwantung.
If Wei Wushu was still there at that time, whether Shang Ying could win the battle was still a matter of two options.
The defeat of Wei Wushu also led to a strategic change in Wei, and King Xuzhou of King Qi Wei was willing to hold the reins for King Qi Wei, as illustrated by Lama.
In Xunzi's military chapter, it is written: Wei's military soldiers, take them by degrees, wear the armor of the three genera, exercise the crossbow of twelve stones, and carry fifty arrows, put them on it, crown with a sword, win three days of food, and go to a hundred miles in the middle of the day.
However, Meng Ao was only surprised, and then sneered: "Put the fierce fire oil and burn them." ”
I saw that the purple wave began to retreat in an orderly manner, leaving a large open space, because of the heavy armor, it was difficult for the bronze armor soldiers to catch up, so they gradually distanced themselves.
"What does it smell like?" A bronze-armored soldier wondered.
He felt a very pungent smell in his nose, which smelled disgusting, but suddenly he reflected and shouted, "This is the fierce fire oil, retreat!" ”
Fierce fire oil is a common unpurified oil, which was very abundant in the Qin state, and after the defeat of the Qin army, the Qi army harvested it in large quantities in nearby cities, but it was usually a thing to defend the city.
But before they could retreat, the raging fire had already begun to burn, and because they were inconvenient to move in heavy armor, they could only watch their bodies step by step into the fire, and the green wave suddenly began to disperse.
Meng Ao looked at these people and wailed, and said, "These people may have better armor than Wei Wushu, but Wei Wushu's advance and retreat are orderly, and they can't learn it. ”
You must know that in this world, being a good general requires constant training on the battlefield, otherwise it is from a family of military generals, otherwise how much can these generals know about such cumbersome banners and orders in ancient times.
If these bronze armor soldiers were as powerful as Wei Wushu, the Song Kingdom would not have perished.
Huasheng's whiskers continued to tremble, he spread to the ground, and shouted godlessly: "It's over, it's over, Hua's three-hundred-year foundation is over." ”
"Why? Why? Huasheng seemed to regain his senses and kept asking.
The raging fire finally burned out, leaving behind a disgusting smell of corpse oil, and there were only a few dozen bronze armor soldiers left, and they couldn't raise the slightest bit of strength to fight in the face of thousands of Qi troops, because they knew. The Hua family is finished.
"Why?" Meng Ao walked out of the purple wave wearing heavy armor, looked at Hua Sheng's appearance and sneered.
"You are?" Hua Sheng asked, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said to Meng Ao: "My Hua family is loyal to the Qi State, and the 30,000 armor pieces were all completed by us, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a friendship with us..."
"Friendship?" Meng Ao's eyes flashed with disdain.
"Really! I have a friendship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Huasheng's "rat whiskers" slumped, and there was no previous "high-spiritedness" at all. ”
"Friendship?" Meng Ao's eyes narrowed slightly, and the clenched sword was pulled out of his waist, only to hear a click.
Headless to the ground!
The family members of the Hua family suddenly screamed and fled in all directions.
Meng Ao looked at Hua Sheng's dead eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered: "Since you were hostile to His Royal Highness the Prince, you have been a dead man, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never been unable to do it!" ”
The human head rolled down to the ground, Meng Ao wiped the blood on the sword with his hand, and slowly withdrew the sword from its scabbard.
When he walked towards the door, he glanced at the ruined Hua family and said lightly: "Don't leave a single one, quickly!" ”
....
Fan Si looked at Meng Ao with some convulsions, and said with a mouthful of words: "Aren't you afraid of retribution if you kill like this?" ”
"Retribution?" Meng Ao snorted coldly and said: "General Qin's white killings are more than 10,000, the battle of Yique Han and Wei 240,000 people have turned into dry bones, as His Royal Highness's personal general, why should he be afraid of retribution for killing." ”
"You! You! Fan Si's eyes were a little pleading, and he said, "It doesn't matter if I die alone, can I let Fan go and let everyone go." ”
He looked at Meng Ao with anticipation, hoping to get an answer that would satisfy him.
However, to his disappointment, Meng Ao's eyes did not change in the slightest, he was still ruthless, and said lightly: "No." ”
Fans's eyes slowly lose their brightness....
.......
Cao Yi fell in a pool of blood, his eyes revealing disbelief...
The city lord's mansion is as bright as day.
A silk of Zheng Le came from the mouth of the music official, and there was a dancing Qi girl in the center.
"Will Zhong Zixi, no more than me, no break my tree. How dare you love it? Fear of my parents. Zhong can also be pregnant, and the words of parents can also be feared.
Will be Zhongzixi, no more than my wall, no fold my mulberry. How dare you love it? Fear my brothers. Zhong can also be nourished, and the words of the brothers can also be feared.
Will be Zhongzixi, no more than my garden, no fold my tree sandalwood. How dare you love it? Fear of many words. Zhong can also be nostalgic, and people can also be afraid of many words. Tian Jian sang slowly, his slender fingers between the wines, and the fragrance of corn in his mouth.
"Your Highness!" Meng Ao walked in slowly, bowed down.
Tian Jian slowly raised his head, looked at Meng Ao and smiled, "It's done." ”
"It's over." Meng Ao said in a low voice.
"Good! Live up to the hard work of the palace! Tian Jian slammed the table, got up and shouted. A chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "Will Zhong Zixi, no more than me, no break my tree." Although Taoyi is small, it is in the world, for the sake of the palace's plan, and you dare to fight the idea of the palace, the war is coming, how can you be allowed to jump up and down! ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at his white and flawless fingers, which seemed to be stained with the smell of blood, and the red was dazzling!
Now that the road has been taken, it cannot be stopped!
