"General, the whole process has been figured out! We're all set! ”
Yan Xing nodded, glanced at everyone in front of him, and admonished, "This operation is very dangerous!" It can be described as a tiger's mouth! So you have to act fast! ”
"No!"
Yan Xingdao: "The first team and the second team infiltrated the other courtyard with me!" The first, second, and third squads of the third team are here, here, and here while our attack is launched."
Yan Xing pointed to several key points in the city of Rome, "Set fire at the same time." The others take the East Gate at the same time! Do you get it? ”
"Understood!"
"Excellent! Let's go! ”
A convoy of grain carrying more than 100 carts and more than 200 people marched from a private grain depot on the North Street of Rome towards the Jerusalem Annex.
From North Street, the convoy turns into a secluded alley near the Imperial City, which is the only way to East Street.
You can't help but feel that the alley seems to be exceptionally quiet today.
Suddenly, hundreds of black-clothed men came out from both sides, and the two hundred or so workers were all collapsed in pools of blood before they could figure out what was happening in front of them.
This scene was seen by a passer-by, who thought it was a thief who had robbed the road, and ran towards the city defenses.
About two quarters of an hour later, the convoy arrived outside the backyard of the royal palace in Jerusalem, and after careful identification of their identities, they were released into the backyard.
At the same time, a team of city guards arrived at the scene of the incident, but nothing seemed to have happened at the scene. The officer glanced at the scene, his eyes fixed on the ground, squatted down, dipped his hand, sniffed it, frowned, and said, "It's blood!" ”
Then he ordered: "Search the surroundings carefully!" ”
"Yes!"
After a few moments, a soldier who had searched the corner of the garbage heap changed his face and shouted, "Here, my lord!" ”
Everyone hurriedly rushed up, only to see hundreds of corpses piled up here, and the scene was very shocking.
"Report this to the General immediately!!"
Yan Xing and his entourage transported the grain to the grain depot under the supervision of dozens of guards, and an officer handed a parchment roll to the leader Yan Xing, saying, "This is a receipt!" You can go! ”
Yan Xing glanced at the people around him and took the receipt from the officer's hand. The officer was about to speak when he suddenly felt a chill in his neck and his eyes widened in disbelief.
At the same time, dozens of brocade guards shot at the same time, and in an instant, the dozens of guards present were eliminated, and these guards did not have time to raise the alarm.
"General?"
"Act as planned!"
"No!"
Dozens of soldiers immediately changed into the armor of the guards, and then two hundred people rushed towards the core courtyard.
The guard guarding the door couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw dozens of soldiers in the same clothes as him approaching, but he wasn't sure what was wrong.
The guards stopped the other man according to the rules, and before he could finish his words, a man flashed behind him and twisted his neck.
Seeing this, more than a dozen guards nearby were shocked and wanted to issue a warning signal.
At this moment, I saw that the other party took out a short crossbow with the length of an arm, and quickly sent a wave of arrows at them. More than a dozen guards were shot to the ground in an instant. Immediately after that, more than a dozen brocade-clothed guards stepped up and ended their lives.
The whole operation can be described as smooth and unobtrusive.
More than 200 Jinyi guards entered the core courtyard and immediately divided into two parts, one group guarding the entrance, and the other team quickly rushed towards the palace of the king of Jerusalem.
At this moment, a rapid horn sounded in the courtyard, indicating that the place was under attack by a strong enemy.
Yan Xing frowned, and ordered one of his subordinates beside him, "Send a signal!" ”
Immediately two red signal rockets took to the sky.
The Jinyi Guards, who were waiting outside the city, saw the signal rocket and immediately began to act.
At the same time, the city defense general received an urgent report from his subordinates, saying that a shocking bloody crime had occurred in an alley at the southern end of North Street, and more than 200 people had been killed!
The city defense general was taken aback, and at the same time felt extremely confused.
At this moment, his subordinates rushed in and reported urgently: "General, the royal palace of Jerusalem has raised an alarm!" ”
"What?!" The general of the city defense was shocked.
At the same time, both the Minister of Intelligence Yushchenko and the Roman Emperor Caracalla received the same report.
Karakala abruptly got up, "Not good! Immediately order Dürer to lead the army to support the other courtyard! The safety of the king of Jerusalem must be guaranteed! ”
"Yes!"
The Dürer in Caracalla's mouth is the Roman general of the guard, one of Caracalla's most trusted generals.
Yan Xing led a hundred Jinyi guards to storm the outer defense line of the dormitory, and the combat power of the Jinyi guards was very fierce, although the garrisons here were all Roman guards, but they were still extremely difficult to resist.
Taking advantage of the attention of the opponent to be attracted by the frontal attack, more than a dozen Jinyi guards climbed from one side of the wall to the second floor and suddenly attacked, and a dozen crossbowmen on the second floor were killed instantly.
The outer front immediately became turbulent.
The frontal attacking Jinyi Guards seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack and broke through the opponent's defense line in one go.
The defenders retreated to the dormitories behind.
The king's chamber of Jerusalem was divided into two parts, the first half resembling a living room, the second half being his resting place, and an elaborate courtyard.
The king of Jerusalem trembled in his chamber as he heard the nearer and nearer sound of murder in his ears, and looked at the door with a frightened expression, and the two bewitching women beside him, dressed in the traditional costumes of the Jerusalem people, also looked terrified, and their faces turned pale behind the king of Jerusalem.
At the same time that Yan Xing was attacking the dormitory, the garrisons on the periphery rushed to attack the Jinyi guards guarding the gate, and the battle was very fierce. The Roman officers could not help but be anxious when they saw that they could not capture the defensive line of the Jinyi Guards.
At the same time, the Roman general of the Guards, Durre, was leading nearly 10,000 guards to this side.
"General, look!" An officer beside Dürer shouted pointing to the west.
From there, a thick column of smoke rose from the place where some of Rome's largest merchants stockpiled their grain, which, although privately owned, accounted for more than a third of the city's grain reserves, and was of great significance to the grain market.
Dürer frowned and said, "The granary of South Street!" Send a team of 1,000 people to the rescue immediately! Others keep going! ”
Before the words fell, an officer shouted again: "General, the rich area and the ** cave are also on fire!" ”
It should be explained here that the brocade guards were not meant to burn brothels, but the soldiers on the mission made a mistake.
Durer was stunned, he didn't understand why the other party wanted to burn the kiln.
However, he did not dwell on this issue, and decisively ordered: "Two more teams of 1,000 people will rush to these two places!" At the same time, the city defense troops were ordered not to participate in any operations, as long as they held the four gates! ”
"Yes!"
By the time Dürer arrived with the Guards, Yan Xing and the others had already withdrawn, the royal guards had suffered heavy casualties, and the most important target, the King of Jerusalem, had been reduced to a headless corpse.
Seeing the sight in front of him, Dürer could not help but be furious, and killed someone under the nose of his general, as if he had slapped him in the face.
The people of Rome were panicked, and there were people everywhere who were at a loss for what to do, and they vaguely felt that this incident was not simple, but they did not know how serious it was, and they did not know if the palace had been attacked.
At this moment, an alarm came from the direction of the east gate, and Du Le immediately led five hundred cavalry towards the east gate.
When I arrived, I saw the city gate open, and nearly 200 corpses were lying on the top and bottom of the city gate.
Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, in such a short period of time, they actually killed all the more than 200 soldiers guarding the city gate, this kind of combat power really made people's hearts chill.
"General, even if our five hundred people catch up, we may not be able to take advantage of much!" One of the generals was worried. In fact, what he meant was that if we chased down, we would learn to be wiped out.
Everyone understood what he meant. Although Dürer was angry, he was not an impulsive person, he did not chase down all at once, but ordered a part of the cavalry to go out of the city to follow the enemy's tracks, ordered the surrounding cities and passes to be under full martial law, and ordered the Guards to wait for orders at any time.
Caracalla was silent for a moment, looking very bad. He glanced at Dureer with a guilty face and said, "You don't have to blame yourself!" There's nothing wrong with that! ”
Dürer couldn't help but be moved in his heart, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" But as the general of the guard, I should be responsible for today's events! It's my responsibility! ”
Caracalla thought for a moment and nodded, "Then you will be demoted by two ranks, but in view of the current situation, you are still in charge of the duties of the Great Guard General!" ”
"Yes!"
Caracalla stepped down from his throne and peered out at the window on the side of the main hall.
"General, what do you think of today's events?"
Durle said: "Your Majesty, in terms of motives for today's events, Alex's group of rebels is the best!" But "
"But they don't have that ability at all!" Caracalla continued, his brow furrowed.
Dürer nodded, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" They simply don't have the ability! And the only one who has this ability to look at the world is the Wei Empire! ”
Caracalla nodded, frowning, "What you said is the same as I think!" From all aspects, today's things were done by the Wei people! Damn it! ”
Caracalla wondered, "The question now is, how did they get all the way to Rome?" It stands to reason that they shouldn't be able to come? Then his heart moved, "No! There's a way! ”
"Your Majesty means"
Caracalla looked at the sky outside the main hall and said in a deep voice, "Smuggling caravans! ”
At this time, the Minister of Intelligence Yushchenko hurried to the main hall.
"Your Majesty!" Yushchenko said.
Karakala glanced at Yushchenko, "You've come just in time!" Yushchenko, as the Minister of Intelligence, why didn't you find a single clue beforehand? (To be continued.) )
