Chapter 165: Night Battle

"Did you find it?"

"No, we searched through the places where the weapons might have been hidden, but we didn't find anything, only these stone-like things, I don't know what they did." With that, the Khitan assassin spread out his hand, and he had a potato in his palm.

Due to the long-term siege, the normal food in Bianliang City has been cut off for a long time, and if it weren't for Zhao Weiji's introduction of potatoes to the Central Plains a few years ago, Bianliang City would not have been able to support it for five months.

Moreover, because the battle was in a hurry, the grain and grass brought with it were mainly potatoes, which were relatively easy to store. The potatoes found by those Khitan assassins were the main food of the Song army now.

However, the Khitan people did not know the existence of potatoes, although potatoes in the Great Song Dynasty were widely promoted and planted, but Kou Zhun, who presided over this matter, also issued a death order, that is, no potato was allowed to be taken out of the country, otherwise it would be dealt with as a rebellion.

The reason why Kou Zhun gave this seemingly unreasonable order was because potatoes were too easy to grow and the yield was too high, thanks to the introduction of potatoes, the Great Song Dynasty had successfully survived several small disasters in the past few years.

Seeing such an effect, Kou Zhun made up his mind that the northern ethnic minorities must not be allowed to get potatoes, and once they got potatoes, they didn't know what kind of threat they would pose to the Great Song Dynasty.

It's just that when Kou Zhun didn't expect it, his death order actually helped Zhao Weiji in the future. Since the Khitan people did not know potatoes, they regarded all the unpeeled potatoes as stones at the moment.

Originally, in the order given to them by Jerumo, priority was given to the destruction of weapons. If you can't find a weapon. then burned or destroyed the grain of the Song army.

But the Assassins tossed and turned, but they couldn't find a weapon. At this time, the potatoes were even more regarded as stones.

The leader saw that his subordinates were holding only a "stone" in their hands, and that nothing else had been found, so he angrily knocked the "stone" in his men's hands to the ground.

It's just that he didn't expect that his move would attract people from the Song army patrol.

When the potato was knocked off his men's hands, the potato rolled on the ground until it reached the footsteps of a Song soldier.

When the Song soldier noticed the potato in his footsteps, he bent down and picked it up. When he picked up the potato, he realized that it was a raw potato.

It stands to reason that there should not be raw potatoes outside the warehouse, because Zhao Weiji has strict orders. Potatoes must be stored dry and should never be taken out unless necessary.

Normally, this is the case, but now on a rainy day, no one dares to take out the potatoes. The potatoes that appeared on the ground out of thin air made the soldier suspicious.

So he called a few of his comrades around him and began to search for a possible source of the potato in the vicinity.

It didn't matter if they searched for it, these Khitan assassins were frightened, and they were only able to hide in the shadows safely with torches in the heavy rain, and if the Song soldiers patrolled according to a fixed route, they would still have a chance to dodge.

Now that the Song soldiers have begun a carpet search, they will definitely not be able to hide anymore. Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to be discovered. As soon as they were discovered, the entire Song army camp was alarmed.

Other Khitan assassins who were looking for food, grass and weapons were also found one after another. Although they all resisted to varying degrees, they were unable to defeat four hands with two fists.

In the end, many Khitan warriors chose to bite the poison hidden in their mouths in order not to betray their secrets. Committed suicide by poisoning.

However, at this time, the Great Song soldiers who were busy encircling and suppressing the Khitan assassins never thought that their commander was surrounded by three fish that had slipped through the net.

……

Oops, that's a problem. Seeing that he was surrounded by three assassins, his soldiers were busy encircling the other assassins because they didn't hear the gunfire just now because of the thunder. This made Zhao Weiji a little distressed.

But fortunately, judging from Zhao Weiji's observation of the daggers in the hands of the three assassins with the help of firelight, it should not be poisoned, and the daggers did not reflect any strange light.

This made Zhao Weiji breathe a sigh of relief, as long as it was not a dagger coated with poison, there would basically be a dozen, and it would not be overturned at once.

Since the dagger in the assassin's hand is not poisonous, then Zhao Weiji has to calculate who the bullet in his hand is going to hit, after all, there is only one shot, Zhao Weiji believes that after he fires this shot, the other two people should not give him time to reload.

So it's very particular who this bullet hits, and the best result is to directly shoot the person who can fight the most out of the three, and the remaining two are slightly weaker, and the chance of winning will be greater.

It's just that which of these three people is stronger, Zhao Weiji can't detect it for the time being. The three people in front of them are not much different in shape, and they are all masked in black.

There is no difference in force at all purely on the surface, and judging from the posture of the three of them now, it seems that the three of them have all been handed over by the same number. I still can't see any big difference, which makes Zhao Weiji have a headache, and his life is at stake, and he can't afford to be a little bit worse.

At this time, the captain of the Khitan assassin squad helped Zhao Weiji, and he motioned to the two subordinates with his eyes to prepare to attack, although the action he gave was very hidden, but he was still caught by Zhao Weiji.

At the moment of grasping this detail, Zhao Weiji made a judgment, that is, even if this person is not the most powerful, he is also the leader of the three of them, as long as this person is killed as soon as possible, it may be able to affect the actions of the remaining two.

So he didn't say a word, and raised his gun to the captain's chest and shot it. Having never seen how a rifle attacked, the captain was shot into the heart by a bullet without any reaction at all, and lost his combat effectiveness on the spot and was on the verge of death.

I have to say that Zhao Weiji made the right choice at that moment, after the captain was knocked down by Zhao Weiji, the remaining two were indeed stunned all of a sudden, the two of them didn't know what was going on, only that the Great Song prince carried a strange stick and gestured, and then after a bang, their captain fell to the ground.

Faced with such a situation, the two of them had no idea what to do next, whether to continue the attack, and if they continued to attack, whether what happened to the captain would happen to them in the same way.

But if you don't continue to attack, will you run away, and what will happen if you flee back like this?

Just when they were still hesitating, Zhao Weiji acted again, he threw the rifle to the ground, pulled out the waist attachment he had just equipped, and stabbed the person closest to him with a sword at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Weiji's sword was fast and accurate, and it stabbed directly into the abdomen of the moment closest to him.

It was only at this time that the other person finally reacted, picked up the dagger in his hand and attacked Zhao Weiji.

After the two of them were wiped out again, Zhao Weiji's confidence increased greatly, and he kicked the assassin who had been stabbed away, and also drew the long sword inserted in his abdomen, blocking the attack of the last assassin.

Seeing that his own side was abolished by two people in a row, and his own attack was blocked by Zhao Weijige, the mentality of the last person had completely collapsed at this time.

With scattered movements, he was launched a fierce counterattack by Zhao Weiji, and stabbed him with three swords in a row. Although with his strong reflexes, this last assassin was able to dodge Zhao Weiji's three attacks. But that kind of embarrassment already indicates that if he continues to fight, he will inevitably lose his life.

Sure enough, after seeing his embarrassed appearance, Zhao Weiji did not give him any respite, and launched a continuous attack, and the angle of the sword became more and more tricky and deadly every time.

After the man parried Zhao Weiji's attack about six or seven times in embarrassment, he finally revealed his flaw, and was slashed by Zhao Weiji's sword on the wrist of his dominant hand.

The wrist of the dominant hand lost its strength the moment it was slashed by Zhao Weiji, making it impossible for the palm to hold the dagger in his hand at all.

And Zhao Weiji just fell off the dagger in the opponent's hand, and added two swords to the opponent's two repulsions, making the person completely lose the ability to act.

Seeing that the three opponents, one was basically dead because he was shot, the other was not far from death because he was penetrated in the abdomen, and the remaining one had three limbs injured and lost his mobility, Zhao Weiji relieved himself this time.

Just as he was about to arrest the only conscious assassin and ask him about the situation in Liaoying, a white film began to appear from the mouth of the assassin in front of him, and his eyes began to roll upwards, leaving only Bai Yanren.

At this time, Zhao Weiji finally realized that it was not good, and hurriedly grabbed the man's neckline, wanting to take something out of his mouth before he died.

But when Zhao Weiji brought the man up, the man was already dead. At this time, Zhao Weiji knew that although these people did not apply poison to the dagger, they put it in their mouths.

And just when Zhao Weiji turned the target to the other two, both of them were also dead, one was shot in the heart, and the other lost too much blood because of abdominal penetration.

Although Zhao Weiji, who didn't catch a single live mouth, felt a little pity, he didn't care too much. At the same time, the commotion outside the tent gradually calmed down.

Zhao Weiji, who walked out of the tent with a sword, called a soldier who was rushing back to inquire about the situation over there, and the bloody sword he was carrying was seen by the soldier.

It was only at this time that the soldiers of the Song army finally realized that at the same time as they were arresting the Assassins, their commander had also been attacked by the Assassins.

The annoyed soldier was about to apologize when Zhao Weiji stopped him, and he asked the soldier to call all the generals over, and he wanted to have a meeting to discuss how to use the Liao army's assassination. (To be continued......)
