Chapter Seventy-Six: Killing
No matter how strong a person's strength is, his body is still flesh and blood, and since it is flesh and blood, it means that he will also be injured and die.
Chen An's force is obvious to all, and it is tantamount to being difficult to kill him by normal means, so the Jiangzhou soldiers and horses simply found another way and decided not to confront him head-on, but chose an interlocking ambush and assassination.
When the envoy learned from Tang Xuanfu that Chen An was determined to leave today, he immediately dispatched his elite soldiers to clear a necessary way out of Yongping Mansion at night, and then arranged for a large number of crossbowmen to hide in the surrounding houses and shops, and at the same time made his staff carefully plan a seamless layout.
At the moment when Chen An appeared at the ambush site, a sudden warning undoubtedly disrupted their original plan, and at the critical moment, General Miao, who was in charge of commanding the operation, resolutely gave the order to attack in advance.
As the crossbowmen appeared in unison and shot arrows at Chen An without any delay, Chen An, who had been on guard, suddenly blocked the tall horse beside him, and then used the strength of the crossbowmen who were full of arrows and neighing as a shield, and crashed straight into the crossbowmen on the side of the shop.
Who would have thought that these crossbowmen shot a round of arrows and immediately retreated, and then the shops on the left and right suddenly jumped out of an unusually strong soldier, and at the same time threw huge fishing nets at Chen An in their hands, and when Chen An carried the war horse into the shop, there were dense fishing nets in front and back.
He took out the saber on his waist and quickly slashed at the fishing net surrounded by several strong men in front of him, only to hear a sharp and piercing sound of metal rubbing, and the sparks sparkled and splashed, Chen An's face changed instantly, the fishing net in front of him was actually a steel wire weaving, and his knife did not break the fishing net at all, but let the other party tightly pull the fishing net closer to him.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, the double knives in Chen An's hands pierced into the mesh of the fishing net that came to him, and at the same time, with a twist of his wrist, the long knife was stuck in the fishing net, and his body suddenly rotated and exerted force, and in an instant, he threw out the strong soldiers holding fishing nets.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Although Chen An solved the fishing nets around him, the fishing nets inevitably covered his body above his head, and at this time, the bowmen who had retreated earlier reloaded their bowstrings again, and with a cold command, countless arrows were fired in volleys towards Chen An, who was entangled in the fishing nets and unable to move.
In the face of the unavoidable rain of arrows, Chen An directly protected the vital points of his body, and his muscles tensed and curled up into a ball.
The rain of arrows hit Chen An's body mercilessly, and some of the arrows shot behind the fishing net that shrouded Chen An, making a metal collision sound of jingling bells, and from time to time there would be sputtering sparks, and most of the arrows fell on Chen An's broad back, and when the arrow rain stopped, Chen An, whose back was full of arrows, was like a humanoid hedgehog.
Seeing Chen An, who looked motionless like this, General Miao Shen, who had been commanding in the dark, finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Someone, drag his body out for me. ”
At the sound of an order, several soldiers walked out of the street shops, and at the same time cautiously approached Chen An with swords in hand, and only after they came to Chen An and made sure that he was silent, everyone relieved themselves and began to collect Chen An's body.
They ripped off the fishing nets covering Chen An's body, pulled out the arrows that filled his body, and then someone led the horse over, and the soldier in charge of collecting the body immediately threw Chen An's body on horseback and prepared to transport it to the school grounds.
Before the operation, the soldier and horse envoy had already instructed that after killing Chen An, he would leave the whole body and send it to the school ground, and he would give his body to the head of the owl in front of all the soldiers to pay tribute to the many soldiers who died that day!
"It's a pity, it seems that we overestimated him. ”
On the top of a temple tower, you can almost overlook most of Yongping Mansion from the top fence, and before dawn, there are several uninvited guests.
"We all prompted the prompt, who would have thought that he would be so stupid not to believe us. A middle-aged man in a fancy costume on the tower shook his head.
"He died so easily?" the young man in a moon-white robe still seemed to look at the evacuating Yongping Mansion officials and soldiers under the distant street with some disbelief.
"Brother Ni, if you are familiar with history books, you should know that there is no shortage of fierce generals in all dynasties and generations who are ten thousand enemies on the battlefield, but how many of them can really die well? Another young man in a blue robe slapped the paper fan in his hand. "I don't deny that guy is indeed a rare peerless warrior, but it's a pity that a person's strength is small after all, in the face of the soldiers and horses in charge of a state, no matter how strong he is, it will be difficult to escape the end of the battle?"
“...... However, I still can't forget the shock he brought to me when he stood on top of the sea of corpses and bones outside Yongping Mansion that day. Ni Gongzi sighed. "History books are history books, and only when you have seen the real 10,000 enemy generals with your own eyes will you understand their fascinating demeanor on the battlefield. ”
"Hehe, what's the matter?, Brother Ni, don't you plan to continue learning swords if you want to be a general of ten thousand enemies in the future?" the blue-robed man quipped.
"Brother Kong laughed, even if I want to be, I don't have this talent!" Ni Gongzi laughed bitterly at himself. "So I'd better practice my sword honestly. ”
"Brother Ni, now that Tang Lao'er and the soldiers and horses are becoming more and more aggressive towards the four of us, and the party struggle between the DPRK and China has reached the point of life and death, I hope you will inform Ling Zun to ......make plans as soon as possible," the blue-robed man changed his words, and his tone was meaningful.
Is it time to take sides?
Ni Gongzi's expression was grim, but he said quietly on the surface: "Could it be that your ancestor has already made a decision?"
"Brother Ni, you and I have been friends for three generations, even the three families of Qiaohou and Cao are not as deep as the friendship between you and me, here the younger brother can quietly tell you a secret, Tang Xuanfu is not far from the fall. The man in the green robe pretended to be mysteriously pasted in Ni Gongzi's ear and said.
“...... Where did the news come from?" said Ni Gongzi solemnly.
"This is the news that our ancestors brought yesterday. The man in the green robe said.
"Brother Kong, don't worry, I will immediately send someone to tell my father about this matter. Ni Gongzi arched his hand at him.
"It's getting late, and it's time for us to go back to dinner. The man in the green robe smiled and turned around and walked towards the stairs, and finally he seemed to remember something, and suddenly joked at Ni Gongzi: "I don't know if Brother Ni is still satisfied with his little sister these days?"
Ni Gongzi's face turned red instantly after hearing this, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss Kong and I are in love, stop at courtesy, don't laugh at me." ”
"Haha...... I'm not saying this for the happiness of you and my little sister, anyway, it's only a matter of time before you and I get married. ”
As he spoke, the blue-robed man laughed and walked down the stairs.
