[170] All or nothing
It's late at night.
The 30,000 troops, who had been fighting for a long time during the day, fell asleep in the night. The entire Beiyang Imperial City was surprisingly quiet, except for the occasional sound of beating the watch, there was no movement.
In the northern part of the imperial city, there is a huge courtyard, which is the granary of the entire imperial city.
Due to the battle outside the city, there were not many defenders here, and most of them were transferred to the city tower, and only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled were left to guard them.
In the darkness of the night, a group of people dressed in black crept in, about twenty or thirty people, all of them holding a small blade in their hands, which was coated with green poison.
As soon as it is stained with blood, it seals its throat.
The two soldiers on guard, gradually sleepy, put their weapons aside, and rubbed their eyes rather tiredly.
A bright color swept through the night, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in the soldier's heart.
"Who?" the soldier's exhaustion suddenly dissipated, and he clenched the steel spear in his hand, his hands trembling slightly.
A cold light flashed, and a blood-red mark appeared on the necks of the two soldiers. Before the two soldiers could utter a shout, they collapsed.
He's dead.
"Quick, fast, fast. The man in black at the head beckoned to the others, and then twenty or thirty men in black poured into the granary.
"Set fire. ”
Twenty or thirty black-clothed men, all holding flammable and explosive materials such as 'Heavenly Thunder Son' and 'Flame Charm' in their hands, threw them into the granary one after another after an order from the leader.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
After successive explosions, a sky-high fire lit up the dark night sky.
Black smoke billowed and the smell of burnt grain could be smelled everywhere.
After setting the fire, twenty or thirty men in black did not withdraw immediately, they took out their blades one after another and hid near the granary.
Not far away, a team of more than 400 people quietly arrived, divided into four parts, and hid around the granary.
When the residents of the imperial capital discovered the fire, they lifted their buckets and basins one after another and spontaneously put out the fire without anyone's organization. The fire was not large, and it was only a granary that was burned.
Even so, it still alarmed the new Beiyang King Beitang Ciju who had already slept.
Under the escort of Li Mo, Tuoba and Qianmo, Beitang Ciju hurried with a team of fifty people. He didn't particularly care about how much grain was burned, the key was that the enemy army was besieging the city at this moment, and the people in the imperial city couldn't be disturbed.
"The king has arrived!"
Ren Ren Mao shouted, and all the people knelt down when they saw it.
"You don't have to be polite, you are all meritorious people who put out fires, and you should be rewarded for your meritorious deeds. "After the death of Hokodor, Kitado's second foal seemed to mature overnight.
While reassuring the people, he listened to the report of the lower officials.
The fire was not serious, it only burned dozens of stones of grain, and it was insignificant. Kitado Jiju exhaled secretly, and immediately a bad premonition arose in his heart.
The enemy's purpose is not to burn down the granary, then
"Not good!" exclaimed Kitado Jikoma, hurriedly trying to get out of here.
At this moment, within a radius of one mile, five hundred assassins shouted and killed from the shadows.
"Protect the king!" Tuobashi roared, and fifty guards surrounded the Hokdo in the center.
After Tuoba and Qianmo were recruited and surrendered by Ye Junlin, they were arranged into the Royal Forest Army. Qian Mo became the commander of the 'Ma Jun Division', and Tuoba Cheng became the personal guard of Beitang Ciju together with Li Mo, and he was loyal.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
In the endless darkness, hundreds of crossbow arrows, coated with poison, shot from all directions like locusts flying in the sky.
Many people who did not have time to flee were shot by this crossbow arrow and died instantly. The fifty guards drew their sabers in unison and tossed the crossbow arrows aside.
After the first wave of crossbow arrows, five hundred Assassins pounced.
It was Deng Enming who took the lead, and at this moment, he was already determined to die, as the first paving stone for the great cause of Beitangjun.
The ratio of 500 to 50 sergeants is very disparity, and even so, none of the personal guards of the second colt of the North Hall flinched.
The sergeants on both sides did not move, but only confronted each other secretly.
At this moment, in the darkness, there was a smug laugh.
"My stupid brother, you are surrounded, surrender obediently, and give up your useless struggle. ”
"Kitado Jun!"
Kitado Jikoma was a little shocked, he didn't expect Kitado Jun to personally participate in this assassination attempt.
"Looks like you're on a desperate note. ”
Kitado quickly regained his composure, and he looked at Kitado with a smile on his face.
Beitang Jun personally infiltrated to assassinate himself, which shows that his army is almost finished.
"You think you can kill me. Kitado Jikoma laughed.
"I can. Beitang Jun replied with great confidence.
"Then let's try it. ”
Beitang Jun gave an order, and five hundred assassins fought in an instant. All kinds of dark light bloomed in the sky, and all kinds of fireworks bloomed, and this piece of night sky was completely illuminated.
The number of people on the side of the Hokudo second colt is less than that of the Hokudo side. But these fifty people are all the elite of the elite. In the face of a 1-10 battle ratio, it was still barely able to draw.
Under the command of Tuoba Negative, Kitado Jiju and his guards hid in a private house.
Five hundred Assassins attacked many times, but they were all beaten out.
Three hundred and fifty of the five hundred assassins remained, and the side of the Hokudo Jikoma also paid the price of seventeen men.
"Boom!"
The second colt of the North Hall pulled out the 'Snow Drinking Crazy Knife', and a cold blue pillar of light instantly soared into the sky.
"Everyone hold on, and in a short while, General Ye and General Wei will come to our rescue. Kitado shouted loudly.
"Swear to protect the king to the death!" Tuoba took the lead and shouted, and the morale of the thirty-three guards instantly soared.
Seeing that his subordinates had attacked many times unfavorably, Beitang Jun couldn't help but panic, and the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him.
If that Wei Ye arrives, I'm afraid he will have to explain here.
"Kill, kill me, who can cut off the head of Beitang Ciju, reward 100,000 Xuanjing, and seal the Marquis of 10,000 households!"
Most of the 500 assassins in Beitangjun are outlaws, who do not pay attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, but only look at fame and fortune. When Beitang Jun promised such a rich reward, this group of outlaws waved their weapons as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and rushed forward like wild wolves.
Tuoba was shocked, and the longbow in his hand was full again and again. The arrows that shone with multicolored light flew out, and the first few assassins were killed in an instant.
The army of Assassins only hesitated for a moment, and then rushed forward with even more terrifying momentum
