Chapter 33: Night Attack

Liu He didn't joke with Zhu Biao and Shao Dong, he really came to attack Zhaojiabao overnight with a patchwork team!

After a battle between the three hundred soldiers left behind by the Zhao family, less than a hundred people were left who had been consumed by the eight hundred mountain people brought by Zhu Biao. These soldiers are like frightened birds, not only are they very tired, but they are also in a state of extreme tension, and if they are stimulated a little, they will probably collapse completely.

Liu He recognized this point, so the night attack plan formulated was very simple, or very alternative.

Liu He organized Wang Yue, Shi A, Ding Kuang, Xian Yuyin and Tian Chou into a team, and temporarily named it the "Special Combat Team". The task of the special combat team is to infiltrate the Zhaojia Fort at night, kill all the core members, including the Zhao family's head Zhao Qi, and then set fire to create chaos.

As for the brigade brought by Liu He, the main role is to wait until the fort gate is opened, clear the remaining Zhaojia soldiers, and then take over Zhaojia Fort in an all-round way!

The five-person action team led by Wang Yue, their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a team of more than fifty people, once they infiltrate the Zhaojia Fort, even if they are discovered, it is definitely not something that the remaining strength of the Zhaojia family can stop!

Since the rest of the matter is so simple, why does Liu Hewei still have to take Zhu Biao and Shao Dong two oil bottles? Throwing off your arms and doing it alone, isn't it good for a family to eat alone?

Because Liu He has more long-term considerations, he doesn't want to fight with the mountain people in Fengxiang City because of a small profit in front of him.

As the saying goes: slap in the face, give a date to eat. Liu He's attitude towards Zhu Biao and Shao Dong is like this.

Liu He first let these two guys with above the top suffer a loss, frustrate their rebellious spirit, and then personally went out to talk and laugh and easily deal with the Zhao family and the Qu family, which can not only form a wordless deterrent to Zhu Biao and Shao Tong, but also make the two feel that although Liu He has the means, he values faith and righteousness and is an ally worth befriending.

When Liu He led his troops to a distance of five miles from Zhaojiawu Fort, he first ordered the troops to stop on the spot, and then ordered Zhu Biao to light torches and withdraw his troops from outside Zhaojiabao with great fanfare, so as to numb the nerves of the defenders in the fort.

Wang Yue took advantage of the fact that the soldiers in the fort were all watching the retreat of the thief army outside the fort, and flew from a position with a black back to the top of the fort wall. Then, he put down the bundle of ropes he was carrying, and lifted the two apprentices, Xian Yuyin and Tian Chou up from under the wall in turn.

The five of them flew into the castle and went straight to a courtyard where the head of the Zhao family lived.

Qu Meng used to play with Zhao's house and Jing's house when he was a teenager, and was very familiar with the internal structure of Zhaojiawu Fort and Jingjiawu Fort, and the distribution map of the houses in the fort drawn by him was enough to provide the accurate location of the assassination team.

"Family master, the gang of strongmen outside the fort has withdrawn!"

"Ahem, ahem...... Are these people finally going to retreat? If it weren't for Zhaotong taking 500 people to Qu's house, why would we be so bullied by a group of mountain thieves today! This Zhaotong is also true, it has been out of the road for more than a day, why don't you send someone back to deliver the letter! ”

The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Qi, roared in the house, and still did not know that Lu Dao was dying.

Wang Yue never liked to be wordy when he killed people, after he made a gesture of hands-on, the five of them rushed to the courtyard at the same time, and when they saw a living person, they stabbed it with a sword, and slashed it down, not giving the other party any chance to resist at all.

Several guards in the courtyard were removed by the "special combat team" as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, Wang Yue kicked open the door, and Shi Shiran walked in.

"Who are you? Someone! Zhao Qi, who saw the stranger entering the house, shouted at the top of his voice.

"It's useless for you to shout at your throat! The more people my king wants to kill, he has never missed! Wang Yue looked at Zhao Qi coldly, like a tiger looking at a lamb.

Zhao Qi hurriedly said in a panic: "What? You are Yanshan hero Wang Yue! My Zhao family has no grudge with you for a long time, and there is no enmity for a long time, why do you want to kill me? By the way, it must be that old thing from the Qu family who asked you to help! What price did he pay? I'm out five times! I just ask Wang Daxia's subordinates to show mercy, don't harm my life! ”

"Shut up! Qu Lin is not qualified to let me shoot yet! I am entrusted by Liu Gongzi to take your head for use! As for why Liu Gongzi took your life, wait for Huangquan and ask those innocent people who were killed by the Zhao family! ”

"Liu Gongzi asked me to bring you a word, if you don't want to lose your family, you will hand over all the land deeds and gold, silver and jewelry, and he will dig three feet into the ground after he takes people into the fort and looks for them everywhere!"

"Ah——! Who is Liu Gongzi? Why do I believe that after handing over the land deed, he will leave a little blood for the Zhao family? Anyway, it's a death horizontally and vertically, so let everyone in the Zhao family die with me, so as to save me loneliness on Huangquan Road! Zhao Qi shouted frantically, and was close to collapse.

"There's a lot of nonsense, since you don't want to hand it over, then go die!" Wang Yue cut off the five fingers of Zhao Qi's left hand with a sword, and then collected his sword and looked at Zhao Qi coldly.

"Do you pay it or not? hand it over, and the son will spare the old and weak women and children of your Zhao family; If they don't pay it, Gongzi will hand over all the Zhao family to the gang in Fengxiang City, so that their life is worse than death, and pigs and dogs are better than pigs and dogs from now on! ”

Zhao Qi endured the pain in his heart, closed his eyes and gasped for breath, then slammed a mechanism on the corner of his desk, opening a secret door behind him. He stared at him and shouted frantically, "Good! I believe in Liu Gongzi once! All the land deeds and wealth of the Zhao family are in the secret room behind this secret door, if Liu Gongzi can't keep the contract, I, Zhao Qi, will not let him go! ”

As soon as Zhao Qi's words were finished, Wang Yue raised his hand with a sword and cut off Zhao Qi's head.

A moment later, fires broke out in Zhaojia Fort, and then someone was heard shouting, "Oh no, the head of the house has been killed!" You see, isn't the head of the house hanging on the wall? ”

Suddenly, there was a great chaos in Zhaojia Fort, and people's panicked cries rang out, as if the end of the world was coming.

After another moment, the gate of Zhaojiawu Fort was opened from the inside, and the fifty Shenxi cavalry who had been waiting outside drove their horses and rushed in......

In the first half of the night, Zhaojia Fort fell, and Qu Jiajun and Zhu Biao's men and horses entered Zhaojia Fort together.

Immediately afterwards, Liu He led people to Jingjiabao, and did the same and successfully took Jingjiabao. Subsequently, Shen Xijun and Shao Dong's men and horses entered Jingjiabao together.

Liu He occupied the Zhao family and the Jing family at the lowest cost and the fastest speed, and it stands to reason that he should be happy and proud, but in fact, on the contrary, he is anxious about the next big.

Right now, Liu He has to solve two very difficult problems. The first is how to deal with the old and weak women and children left behind in the two dock forts; The second is how to divide the spoils with the second and third masters of Fengxiang City. As for the subsequent matters such as sitting on the ground with the Qu family to "share the spoils", dealing with Danshui Yuan Yin, calming down the people's anger, and secretly strengthening the Shen Xi army, etc., they are also more important than one another, and there is no room for negligence.

Liu He faced a mess, and he didn't have a clue in his mind. At this time, he hoped that there would be a few masters and strategists around him who handled internal affairs to share his worries and completely free himself from these miscellaneous matters.

In order to prevent the group led by Zhu Biao from messing up after entering Zhaojia Fort, Liu He left Xian Yuyin, Tian Chou and Qu Jia's troops in Zhaojia Fort, and instructed Tian Chou to open the door of the grain warehouse stored in the dock fort immediately after entering the fort, open it to supply the group of people in Fengxiang City, and take out some of the gold, silver and jewelry obtained from the secret room of the Zhao family and give it to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao's brothers were still not satisfied after getting food and goods, and wanted to loot and even burn in the fort**, but they were strongly resisted by Tian Chou and Xian Yuyin. Tian Chou came to see Zhu Biao, reiterated Liu He's attitude and proposition, and promised Zhu Biao to give two-thirds of the weapons and horses in Zhaojia Fort to Fengxiang City, on the condition that Zhu Biao would restrain his brothers and wait for Liu He's next instructions.

When Zhu Biao thought of Liu He's smiling face, his heart suddenly tightened for no reason, so he agreed to Tian Chou's proposal, and then arrested more than a dozen noisy and fierce subordinates, and after beating them half to death in public, this shocked the banditry mountain people.

The situation on the Jingjiabao side is better than the Zhaojiabao side. Although the soldiers who followed Liu He into the fort were only a mixture of old and new Shen Xi army, this army, which had just been formed for less than ten days, began to show a completely different discipline and momentum from the Qu family soldiers.

Liu He said to the soldiers that after entering the fort, they wanted to do the same in Qujia Fort and do the "four attentions", and the soldiers took Gongzi's words as a law, and they were honest after entering the fort.

Liu He asked the soldiers to stick to their posts, guard at all intersections and important parts, no matter who wants to pass, there must be his own instructions, and the soldiers will resolutely implement them, even if the gang of people in Fengxiang City who likes to make trouble put a knife on the soldiers' necks, they will not let them go.

Shao Tong was a little carried away, thinking that whoever entered Jingjiabao had the most troops to have the final say, but as a result, Wang Yue brought two apprentices to have a discussion with the three masters, Shao Tong immediately restrained a lot, and even issued a killing order, strictly requiring his subordinates to obey the orders and arrangements of the angels.

Wang Yue didn't make a move at all at that time, but just watched Shi A subdue Shao Dong within ten moves with his bare hands, and then said: "Kung Fu hasn't been practiced yet!" For the teacher, it only takes half a move! ”

Shao Dong, who was "repaired" by Shi A, had a blue nose and swollen face, and when he heard Wang Yue's words, his legs were a little weak, and he was almost scared to pee at that time.

Tian Chou sent someone to ride a horse to Liu He to bring the situation of Zhaojiabao, and Liu He looked a little worried after reading it.

"The biggest problem now is the question of the stay of this group of people in Fengxiang City. If I send them back immediately, in case Yuan Yin brings troops to come, with the little strength in my hands alone, I can still support Qujia Fort by sticking to it, and it is impossible to control all the three dock forts scattered within a range of dozens of miles! ”

"However, if the group of Fengxiang City are left in the fort, they will taste the sweetness after a long time, and if they don't leave, wouldn't it be equivalent to luring wolves into the house and making wedding clothes for them?"

Liu He paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, Qu Meng stood aside and looked dazzled, so he whispered: "Childe, in fact, if you want to stop Yuan Yin from coming, there is a very simple way. ”

"Oh! Hurry up and hear it! Liu He stopped pacing, staring at Qu Meng's eyes as if he had found a treasure, and was reluctant to move away.
