Chapter 144: The Siege of the Mansion
Bu Yiyang listened to a few words, still a little irritable, and reached out and pulled Mu Hesheng back,
"The Fourth Highness should stand back for a while, I'm afraid that these people are determined to take this door, and it will be useless to say anything Your Highness."
Mu Hesheng didn't know about this obvious situation, but he insisted on standing there unwillingly, his back straight and clear, "This hall doesn't believe it, if I stand here, the thieves outside the door will still dare to make a mistake!" β
Bu Tong suddenly felt that His Royal Highness was inexplicably naΓ―ve in this situation.
Wu 13 stood behind Bu Tong and watched the brocade guards look at him one after another, and then put on a straight face,
"Don't look at me, you just listen to the orders of the little general."
Everyone responded, and sure enough, the sound of slamming the door soon came from outside the door, Bu Yiyang already had an idea, and looked back at Bu Tong,
"Little sister, if the gate of the mansion is broken early tomorrow morning, won't the people think that the Nanguo Mansion has been raided?"
Bu Tong looked at the person on the gatehouse with an oil drum in his hand, and then understood Bu Yiyang's intentions, and smiled at him,
"About the people will think that the Bu family has committed some crimes recently."
Bu Yiyang regained the vigor of a young general, stretched out his hand to his lips and whistled, the person at the door opened the oil drum and dumped it down, and the person outside the door shouted, "Hurry back, it's grass oil!" β
Shi Qing approached with the torch in his hand, Bu Yiyang took the torch and shouted, "Come down!" β
Hearing this, the two little guys on the gatehouse quickly slid down the doorpost on the side, and Bu Yiyang took a few quick steps forward, and threw out the torch in his hand with his strength.
With a "boom", the flames burst out, reflecting the dark and dull sky, and everyone's faces were red, and there were a few screams and a chaotic sound outside the door, followed by the heavy abuse of the military people.
Mu Hesheng frowned,
"General Bu knows that this method can't resist them for long, and the gate of the Nanguo Mansion is also coated with pine oil? When the next one is lit, I am afraid that it will burn through and collapse in just a stick of incense. β
Bu Yiyang smiled without half a burden, as if the person who had just ordered the door of his house was not himself, and he was extremely comfortable, "Your Royal Highness, you can rest assured, everything we did tonight is just to delay time, as long as the reinforcements arrive, even if the entire Nanguo Mansion is burned, everyone in the mansion is fine." β
Bu Yiyang looked back at the majestic and solemn front hall door behind him,
"Little sister, I'm afraid there is a door to the backyard here."
Butong nodded,
"Naturally, the front and back doors of the front hall are unblocked."
Bu Yiyang turned his head and instructed the little guy next to him, "Go to the warehouse and get all the bows and arrows, and enter the front hall from the back door to find us." β
The three or two small servants should leave, Mu Hesheng glanced at the blazing gate, "General Bu is going to retreat to the front hall?" Is it too early? β
Bu Tong got up lightly, and already understood that this noble man was really not good at the art of war.
"It's not early, this gate is lost, once the frontal resistance is a tough ending, it is not beneficial to us, now that the enemy is outnumbered, it is better to avoid head-on confrontation, preserve strength, and slowly consume the opponent."
Bu Yiyang nodded again and again, "That's exactly what it means." β
In the front hall and hall, there is nothing else except the seats for the guests, and the wooden key of the main entrance is also thin as if the decoration is better than nothing.
"Everyone, move the table and chairs against the front door, the table is under, the chair cabinet is on top, and there is a gap for archery."
Mu Hesheng nodded, "There are many rebels who have just entered the door, so it is really the best strategy to attack from such a distance, and retreat from the back door until the bow and arrow are exhausted, which can be safe." β
Bu Yiyang suddenly approached Mu Hesheng with a smug face, "Does His Royal Highness also think that my little sister is worthy of the name of 'Little Mister'?" β
Mu Hesheng stayed away from Bu Yiyang without leaving a trace, but he also nodded seriously, "The children of the Bu family can be a dragon and a phoenix." β
Bu Yiyang was very proud of this, commanding the family to move the table and lift the chairs, Bu Tong found a small platform to sit down, Chun Tao looked at the most solemn and solemn place behind him and instantly suffered chaos, and whispered behind Bu Tong with some worry, "Miss, let's go first......
The moment Wu Shisan heard Chun Tao speak, he began to nod his head.
Bu Tong looked around to observe the movement, "Why do I think something is wrong, just wait and see." β
As expected, just after a cup of tea, there was a loud sound of the door collapsing not far away, and then the clamor of the thief entering the house was close to the ear.
The temporary archers lying at the door of the front hall were already in place, Bu Yiyang had a placket horn in his mouth, and his right hand was raised high, just waiting for someone to enter the shooting range and wave down.
The sharp blade cut through the night, a cold light flashed, and the opposite side suddenly screamed again and again, and the people behind immediately did not dare to step forward and choose to stop and watch, seeing that it was effective, Bu Yiyang smiled proudly,
"How can the frontier sergeant know the art of inner house warfare, if it goes on like this, we can always hold out here for half an hour, and we can retreat to the courtyard later and wait for reinforcements."
Bu Tong felt more and more that things were by no means as simple as Bu Yiyang thought, even if the sergeants didn't know how to fight in close combat, according to Bu Tong's understanding of Xu Ning, he would naturally not continue to attack slowly like this, and it would not be good for him to come to the reinforcements.
Thinking of this, Bu Tong judged that Xu Ning must have other arrangements, and hurriedly began to get up and observe around, Mu Hesheng saw Bu Tong's movements, and immediately stepped forward, "Ah Tong also feels that something is wrong?" β
Mu Hesheng glanced back at the people gathered at the door and continued, "If the special envoy is so incompetent, he really only knows how to move forward according to the ambush we have set up, and I am afraid that the third brother will not send him here." β
As soon as the words fell, Bu Tong saw a black shadow in the window behind Mu Hesheng, and shouted loudly,
"Brother, watch out for sneak attacks behind you!"
Bu Yiyang turned his head in astonishment, and someone had already broken through the window and rushed in, but fortunately, Wu Shisan followed closely and went up directly to cut him down.
In the courtyard of the Nanguo Mansion, the doors and windows are all built extremely atmospheric, and the windows are about one person high, and it is very difficult for the people outside to climb in, Bu Yiyang quickly adjusted his troops, and retained some of the archers to continue to stare at the thieves who tried to break in from the front door, and the rest of the people guarded the windows to kill the people who entered through the windows.
Bu Tong saw that there was chaos in the house, although all the traitors fell on the ground, but he still felt that it was really unfavorable to go on like this, so he hurriedly shouted Bu Yiyang,
"Brother, don't be in love, what if you are outflanked?"
Bu Yiyang was trained on the battlefield, and naturally knew that if these people had no way to attack, they would run around like headless flies, and when they found the back door, there would be no turning point, and soon this place would change from terrain advantage to trapped beast fighting.
After only a moment's pause, Bu Yiyang gritted his teeth and ordered,
"Everyone, back off."
Fortunately, there is a courtyard wall around the back door, although it is not as tall as the gate, but Butong is also more than two meters away, and it is not easy to turn over, but the sound of the front door is worrying, this back door is afraid that there is no interception ability at all, and Butong looked back,
"Brother, now I can only enter the courtyard."
Bu Yiyang and Mu Hesheng frowned, "Now it's only lasted less than half an hour, and the backyard is close to the courtyard of the female dependents, how can it be done?" β
Bu Tong looked at the sky in the east that began to lighten a little,
"Brother, now there is no other way but to retain his strength, if he really kills his mother, he has to leave someone to resist."
It's better to prepare for the worst.
Bu Tong turned his head and looked in the direction of the imperial city, but it was a firelight, straight through the sky, Bu Tong only felt a chill in his heart, now it is like this here, I am afraid that Mu Hewen has indeed attacked the imperial city with a large army, isn't it, but also in the name of King Qin, Tang Xuanlin, should be able to deal with it?
His hands and feet were cold for a while, Bu Yiyang saw Bu Tong's worries, and came over to reassure, "Little sister, don't worry, Master Tang is the reincarnation of a ghost official, and no one will kill him." β
Bu Tong only felt that this was not good, and Bu Yiyang had already turned his head to arrange,
"Each family member has one or two brocade guards, hiding all over the front yard, trying to sneak attack as silently as possible, if you can hurt one, as long as you weaken half of their people, we can fight head-on!"
In addition, Yu Fang had already killed nearly ten anti-thieves, everyone's mood was very high, and when they heard the words, they even agreed, and the family members took the brocade clothes and quickly hid into the courtyard.
Chun Tao is also familiar with the terrain, come over and pull Bu Tong,
"Miss, let's hide in the back for a while."
Bu Tong looked at Bu Yiyang and Mu Hesheng who were busy arranging the troops, and suddenly had an idea,
"It's said that the thief captures the king first, and I think it's a good idea."
Chun Tao completely gave up the persuasion, Wu 13 has been happily following behind Bu Tong, the three of them hid in the rockery cave later, if they don't make a sound, the people outside will definitely not see the reason for someone, Chun Tao tidied up the grass and trees at the entrance of the cave, and there is no trace, Bu Tong is lying in the gap and watching the movement outside.
There were sounds of fighting and wailing in the courtyard around him from time to time, and Wu Shisan lowered his voice, "Now that we occupy a convenient terrain, we can greatly weaken their combat power, brothers of Jinyiwei, that skill is not comparable to ordinary soldiers." β
Bu Tong nodded, and suddenly realized that the people around him could not see it in the dark, and then spoke,
"I'm not worried about this, I'm just afraid that Xu Ning ghost has the most thoughts, and his methods are also obscene and dirty, if he uses any insidious tricks, my brother will suffer."
Before the words fell, his eyes were full of firelight, and Chun Tao covered his mouth and said vaguely, "They dare to set fire!" β
Bu Tong grabbed the spring peach,
"Whispering, it's just to force everyone to show up, but this courtyard doesn't have such a far view at all, and it has just rained heavily, so they won't have any effect in doing so, it will only disturb the stability of the weak-willed."
The screams still appeared often, and Wu 13 kept applauding, "Ten, beautiful!" β
Butong opening,
"It's good if our people don't have an accident."
Sure enough, this person was the most casual chatter, and sure enough, soon after he finished speaking, a family member and two brocade guards were exposed and their positions were blocked, Bu Tong only heard a chaotic sound, mixed with the sharp friction sound of armor colliding with stones, and the cruel swear words of military people, until the sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh came to quiet down a little, but the smell of blood in the air was stronger.
"Come on," Xu Ning's voice came, with a little smugness and disdain, "This little brother doesn't seem to be Jinyiwei, you are a domestic servant in this house, right?" β
Wu 13 clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, "This person is really cunning, he killed my brother of Jinyiwei, but he left the little guy in the house?!" β
Butong nodded,
"It's really smart, keeping the brocade guard behind it will only become dangerous, and leaving the family can still pry out the news of the house, it's really a brain."
The little guy just sneered, "Yes, you rebellious ministers and thieves, dare to attack the Nanguo Mansion so arrogantly, and dare to say that the four princes and the prince of the country are being held hostage?" Isn't it you traitors attacking the mansion, and the four highnesses are still using tea in the mansion! β
The little guys in the house are all carefully selected by Mrs. Qi, and they are all the best, and now they can still say such things, although Bu Tong can't see his appearance in this position, he is also pleased and admired.
Xu Ning smiled harshly, "In the end, the person under your arrogant county lord, who is famous by his body, but there is no one in his eyes, why, a little domestic servant, now he has become the fish and meat on my knife and still has such a face?" β
Immediately there was a scream of pain from the little guy, which was extremely miserable, it seemed that it was not just an ordinary serious injury, Xu Ning's laughter was extraordinarily arrogant, more like saying it to others,
"Fourth Highness, county lord mother! Your Majesty is here to protect your safety, so don't misunderstand, isn't it cost-effective for us to hurt our own people? By the way, Lord Xiaobu, the servants in your house are really ignorant, a mouth is powerful, I will castrate him, it is better to let him go to the East Factory when I turn around, maybe I will be more in love with that Lord Tang. β
Such a poisonous hand!
Bu Tong only felt that the green tendons on his head were beating violently, and listening to the miserable cry of the little guy, his heart was as difficult as being fried in water.
"Oh no, he's leading others to expose!"
Butong took a deep breath,
"That's it, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't be able to get the tiger, wait for the two of you not to come out!"
After saying that, he leaned over and walked out, "What is the purpose of this general?" Breaking into my house with so many soldiers and injuring my family is still so powerful? β
On the garden path in front of him, there were two dying brocade guards lying down, and a little guy who was sweating profusely and trembling in pain, his body was full of blood, and the soldiers present looked at him with some ridicule in their eyes, Xu Ning was even more overjoyed when he saw Butong, and stepped forward with a smile and an exaggerated salute,
"I've seen the county lord's mother, you can be regarded as coming out, your subordinates are worried, look at how arrogant the traitors in this house are, and they actually hid in this garden with their servants to commit murder."
Bu Tong smiled, not half nervous and afraid, "I see that you are a little familiar, isn't it the one who was recommended to Lord Tang by His Royal Highness the Third Highness, and was later driven away?" This is strange, if you break into my house, my family's resistance is considered rebellion? This adult, I'm afraid it's not a thief shouting to catch a thief? β
As soon as these words came out, the sergeants beside him really began to mumble, Xu Ning finally took away his respectful appearance, and looked at Bu Tong with a sneer,
"The county lord's words are divided, and now there is chaos outside, isn't it just right for the subordinates to protect the county lord? Come and take good care of the county lord. β
Butong's name has long been spread inside and outside, even if Xu Ning gave such an order, the sergeants didn't dare to step forward and do anything to Butong, until a person who looked like a commander ran over, "General Xu, our people were injured by someone in the shadows, but we have to retreat for the time being, so that everyone can recover?" β
Xu Ning slapped him in the face,
"Rubbish! These servants can't hold it, and they still expect you to lead troops to fight? Let me go inside, and go to the ladies of the house and the Duke of Nanguo! β
Bu Tong looked at this person and looked familiar,
"Who are you talking about who you don't know? Someone attacked the mansion, and the family members in my mansion naturally wanted to resist and protect this mansion, what, isn't this wrong? β
The commander looked at Butong by the light of the fire for a long time, and then said in disbelief, "Is it really the county lord's mother?" β
Bu Tong snorted coldly,
"Recognize? I haven't seen you as a traitor. β
After saying that, he lowered his face with disdain to look at the little guy's injury, leaving a group of overwhelmed sergeants, Xu Ning was still shouting proudly,
"That's it, don't care about these people, take the county lord's mother, let's go see Lord Nanguo and Mrs. Qi."
Bu Tong didn't move, and no one around him dared to rush forward, Xu Ning stepped forward disdainfully and pulled Bu Tong up from the ground.
"Let's go, county lord!"
This time it actually involved the wound, but Butong didn't show any pain, and only looked at him coldly,
"You can't win, the Duke of Beiguo and General Liehu have already gone to move the rescue troops, and they will be back soon, you thieves, you can't run away with half of them!"
The commander stepped forward and pressed Xu Ning's arm, "Commander Xu, you should be lighter, the county lord still has injuries on her body, I will come, she will not run away." β
Bu Tong looked at the fact that there was indeed a little bloodshot on his shoulder, but he smiled without half emotion, and looked indifferently at this person who had relieved himself,
"I won't thank you."
There were sporadic screams beside him, and the leader's face became more and more ugly, but he still lowered his head in front of Bu Tong.
Xu Ning beckoned everyone to ignore the people around him and move on, his goal is very clear, that is, to take everyone in this mansion, whether it is to be a proton or to remove it after the fact, they will be at their disposal at that time.
Bu Tong walked at the end with the commander, listening to the people around him bow their heads and ask,
"County Lord's Mother, General Lie is really coming back soon?"
Bu Tong glanced at him,
"That's natural, the king of the army, that's the duty of the general, otherwise do you think Mu Hewen can subvert the world with those soldiers and horses in his hands?"
The commander's face became a little more ugly, "Everyone is also unwilling, but General Xu said that His Majesty has been held hostage, and His Royal Highness has the intention of rebelling, and ordered us to enter Kyoto City to protect Your Majesty, so naturally we can only comply." β
Bu Tong thought it was funny, "You believe it?" β
The commander gritted his teeth, "The Third Highness has a talisman given by His Majesty. β
The meaning of this is already very clear, and they will not easily turn back.
Bu Tong sneered and stopped talking, the pain on his shoulder was terrible, but it made people feel a lot more sober.
Finally, when he walked to the middle courtyard, when Bu Tong looked at the three or five sergeants beside him, he suddenly took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, raised his head and shouted,
"January and February!"
In Xu Ning's unexplained eyes, two black shadows fell from the sky, and instantly killed the four sergeants silently, approaching the people around Bu Tong and Xu Ning, the commander dodged in time and was not injured, but Xu Ning couldn't dodge being cut off his right ear, and scolded in pain, Bu Tong took the opportunity to slowly stand behind them, with his back to protect the backyard, and stretched out his finger at Xu Ning,
"This is the home of this palace, if you dare to make a mistake, take him down!"
In January and February, they all attacked Xu Ning, and Xu Ning shouted in a panic, "Someone!" β
The sound attracted more sergeants, and they were entangled with January and February, although more and more people fell, but they could no longer get close to Xu Ning's body, seeing that they were about to break through the encirclement, the Jinyi guards and family members behind also appeared, protecting Bu Tong and retreating.
Xu Ning still had a clear goal, and commanded sharply,
"Don't pay attention to Xiaoxiao, go to the backyard!"
The face of the commander behind him slowly darkened......
