The evening breeze was blowing, the excitement of the banquet had not yet withdrawn, Gao Pet did not take the car, and Chang, Ding Li, and Dazhu walked together below, walking through the night city with red lights and enjoying the night of Nanyang.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and most of the people at that time got up early and went to bed early, so the street was particularly deserted, and they had just walked through the street, and before they reached the inner city, they only heard a soft shout:

"Shoot!"

Many crossbow arrows were fired at the carriage from the houses on either side.

Ding Li and Dazhu shouted loudly, and the "enemy attack" led people to the houses on both sides, while Gao Zhong commanded the remaining guards to lean towards the edge of the street, reducing the opponent's shooting angle as much as possible.

I just listened to the house "ah, ah" a few times, and it seemed that Ding Li and Dazhu had rushed over. Gao Zhong left a few people behind and asked the other guards to support Dazhu and Ding Li to search for the remnants of the assassins.

The guards who drove the car had been shot dead, and the dense arrows on his body were shot into a hedgehog. The horse also fell to the ground together, and the main target of the assassin was the carriage, which was Gao Chong, such as in the carriage, even if Gao Chong was a crossing person, he would die, but fortunately Gao Chong was not in the carriage.

There are more than 20 dead soldiers in this batch of assassinations, each of whom is holding a crossbow, so the strength is very large, more than 30 Gao pets, two people died, seven or eight people were injured, fortunately, Gao pet guards wear inner armor at any time, and when walking, they disperse according to tactical regulations, and there are first-aid kits, and the injured are not in danger of life.

After a quarter of an hour, Da Zhu, Ding Li, and the guards all returned, killing a total of twelve people, and taking two prisoners, Da Zhu and Ding Li captured one each, and the others ran away.

However, from a tactical point of view, many aspects such as the coordination and consistency of the operation and the position still need to be improved, and the vigilance of the guards still needs to be trained, after all, they have been training for less than five months, and the professional training is shorter, and Gao Zhong was not a Zhongnan guard before his death, and he lacks professional knowledge in this area. And most of their tactical level in this area is also due to the long-term accumulation of a family like the Gao family in this regard.

Gao Zhong interrogated the two captives, both of whom were dead soldiers, and he didn't ask anything for a while. The dead are not so easy to ask, maybe they really don't know anything.

At the corner of the street when I came, a convoy turned out, and it turned out to be people from the Deng family, who left later than Gao Chong, so they arrived.

Seeing a group of people gathered here, it was dark and couldn't see clearly, and the people over there shouted and asked, "Who is in front?" ”

Gao Zhong responded: "Is it the Deng family, I am Gao Chong." Someone was assassinated just now. ”

Deng Yuan heard that it was Gao Zhong who was assassinated, so he immediately brought some people over.

"Senior brother, what's going on?"

"Just now there were assassins in the houses around the street entrance, and they attacked with military crossbow arrows, and we killed two people, two horses, and wounded seven. But we also killed 12 of them and captured 2 alive, but we did not know who instigated them. ”

On the ground was a row of corpses, their own separated separates. As they spoke, Deng Fang and his entourage also arrived.

What Gao Chong said, Deng Fang also heard it, and was taken aback in his heart, first, someone actually assassinated Gao Chong, and on the other hand, he was shocked that under the attack of the assassin with crossbow arrows, only two people died, and the strength of Gao Chong and his subordinates had to be re-evaluated.

"I just attacked the inn during the day, but there was an assassination at night, is this revenge so big? Never die. This must be a good thing done by that animal of the Shen family," Deng Yuan said angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense now if you don't have evidence! Don't be reckless! You have half of the characterization of a virtuous nephew, and I am going to recite the Buddha. Deng Fang turned his head to Gao Chong and said, "I heard that the virtuous nephew also arrested two people, let me take a look." ”

"No problem, these people please deal with it, the report of the official. Check to see if there are any familiar marks. "Whether it is dead or alive, the Deng family doesn't know anyone, and the interrogation has not rushed out of anything, it seems that it will take some time.

"Fourth, you go and inform Liu Huan and let him deal with it on the spot."

After a while, Zhao Yi, Qian Jichen, and Qian San came over with more than 50 personal guards, and Deng Ning, Liu Huan and his archers came over.

"Brother Gao, it's your luck, it's three days to our Nanyang, and even this assassination can be met by you." Liu Huan, joked.

"We in Nanyang really don't have long eyes, and dare to assassinate under my Liu Huan's nose." There have been infighting in various families before, but how many years have it not reappeared?

Seeing the crossbows and arrows on the ground, he looked carefully under the lantern: "This is indeed the crossbow and arrow in the Great Song Army, but it is imitated, and the paint is not the same, and it is relatively new." ”

"I'm going to turn the bottom of Nanyang over this time." Liu Huan said fiercely.

"Virtuous nephew, don't worry, our Deng family will also conduct a comprehensive investigation, and I will send someone to help you in the next two days." Although Deng Fang knew that Gao Zhong did not need the Deng family to provide guards, this was a matter of attitude, whether it was a matter of Gao Chong.

"Thank you Brother Liu and the Deng family in advance. My high pet has enough ability to protect himself, and there is no need to send someone to inform me if there is any news. "Gao Zhong is really a little angry this time.

"Originally, I didn't care about things during the day, but it's not that I'm afraid of things, I want to fight my high pet to accompany me."

"Uncle Deng, Brother Liu, I will leave first."

There is no evidence, but it couldn't be clearer. Let's talk about this Nanyang matter later. Gao Zhong and Qian Jichen returned to the inn with the bodies of all their own ears, including the two dead guards.

"Dazhu, you go find two good official materials."

"Brother, go well, this revenge will not be avenged, I will not be a person." At that time, there were no dead people in the battle in Jinzhai, but now Nanyang has two dead, how can Gao Zhong not be sad. These are all their own personal soldiers who protect the front and the back!

"The eldest young master is angry, we still have to focus on Xixia and his party, and these things will have an opportunity to deal with them in the future." Zhao Yi persuaded. Zhao Yi, the chief of staff, was still well chosen, quite calm and calm. He wanted Gao Pet to calm down.

"Dazhu, you send two alert people to the Shen family's compound to see what is happening, no matter what happens, don't let the Shen family find out, don't conflict with them, come back and talk about it." Dazhu went to arrange, Ding Li followed behind Gao Pet, this Ding Li didn't have any training, but today's performance is quite good, alert, quick response, and loyal, given time, he will definitely grow.

"Ding Li, you did a very good job this afternoon." Gao Pet praised Ding Li.

"This is all cultivated and trained by my father since childhood, and my father said that without such ability, you will not live long on the battlefield." Ding Li's family has been a soldier for generations, but unfortunately, his Ding Li family has few Ding, and his father is an only son of him.

The lights were still on in the Shen family's Shen Changfeng's room, and he was still waiting for the results of the action.

On the second watch, I only heard the sound of "popping" in the courtyard, and a black shadow fell into the courtyard, and the courtyard nurse who was lying in the dark asked "who". A few people jumped out of the corner holding knives and surrounded the black shadow, and the black shadow replied weakly: "It's me, Jiayi, let me see the eldest son." ”

This Jiayi was hit by an arrow in the back, it was not easy for him to persist here, due to excessive bleeding, his face was pale, and he supported it with a firm will, and when he arrived at the door of Shen Changfeng's room, he saw Shen Changfeng and said "Childe, the operation failed" and fainted.

The arrow on the back of this armor penetrated the inner armor and entered the flesh for three inches, Shen Changfeng asked people to pull it off from the armor, this time, this armor was completely dead.

This is the short arrow of the Gao family, the front steel core arrow is slender, three-edged, the edge is sharp, about one inch long, and the rod is five inches long, this is an arrow that Shen Changfeng has never seen.

Jia Yi's skills are the best among the Shen family's secret guards, and he can listen to the arguments, but he still can't avoid this arrow, which shows the speed and strength of this arrow.

Shen Changfeng ordered, "Put the guard outside the Shen family's compound, see if anyone is following, and pull Jia Yi to burn it!" ”。 If someone is following, it will be a bad thing, all the secret guards carried out this assassination without any mark of the Shen family, and he personally checked it before Shen Changfeng. I'm afraid of the current situation. In addition to the patriarch of the Shen family, this secret guard of the Shen family is not something that Shen Changfeng can use, this is when he begged his father for a long time, and his father considered giving the position of heirloom to Shen Changfeng soon, so he agreed, and sent twenty-one people to ambush and assassinate by A and his team.

Although this time it did not fall into the hands of Gao Pet, the Shen family secretly cultivated this secret guard, and spent a lot of money. All this is not clear to Shen Changfeng. In this mission, the secret guards sent out of ten will be gone, especially this Jiayi, if the head of the Shen family knows that he is dead, I don't know how sad he will be.

Shen Changfeng's actions all fell into the eyes of Dazhu and a personal guard, and when he saw that the Shen family was going to expand the surveillance search area, he quietly retreated to Fu Ji.

Sure enough, it was the Shen family.

The Gao family, the Deng family, and the Nanyang Liu family have a feud with the Nanyang Shen family.

The next day, Gao Pet and the Deng family reported yesterday's discovery, the Shen family's feud, still to be dealt with by Gao Pet from the Western Xia, because it is a customized 20,000 arrows, 15,000 arrow shafts have been good, and the merchant has notified Lao Qian and Gao Pet that they will be sent in the afternoon. He also informed the Deng family that Gao Zhong and his entourage would set off the next day, and agreed to meet at Jin Gang, ten miles outside the city, on the fifth watch of the next morning. Regarding the intention of cooperation, the Deng family sent people to Tongling to study, Gao Long wrote a letter, including the bodies of the two guards, and asked the Deng family to send people back to Tongling together.

Gao Pet couldn't imagine that as soon as he stopped in Nanyang, so many things stopped, but there was also a great harvest, and the Deng family in Nanyang couldn't bear the loneliness anymore, and slowly got on Gao Pet's chariot.

The next day as soon as the city gate opened, the high pet went out of the city, the first day of the high pet thank-you dinner party Deng family and Liu Huan, Liu Huan showed the closeness is still vivid, everyone chanted poems in the wine against each other, on the ancient road and the present, it is very dissolute, and the high pet is regarded as a true friend.

Out of the city gate, Gao and his entourage may have gone through the supply and rest, walked very fast, less than half an hour, and arrived at Jin Gang, but the Deng family Deng Yuan, Deng Bo and his party of more than 50 people are tall and mighty, a military uniform, two horses per person, and the other horse carrying supplies, has been waiting at the intersection, Gao Pet didn't expect the Deng family to come so many people, originally thought that there were more than 20 at most, and also saw the solid foundation of the Deng family, worthy of a great family with thousands of years of accumulation, Gao Pet couldn't help but sigh!

"You guys came so early," Gao Pet greeted Deng Yuan and Deng Bo.

"We arrived at Jingang last night and stayed in Jingang for a night."

Gao Zhong asked Dazhu and the others to check their equipment and supplies to see what they had, and the supplies and distribution could be arranged in a unified manner in the future. Afterwards, he said to Deng Yuan:

"Your supplies, except for your personal belongings, are uniformly deployed and managed by the caravan, and your combat strength must also be assessed on the way, and appropriate tasks can be arranged at that time. Obey commands along the way, and do not act alone. If there is a violation, the punishment will be severe! Do you have any comments? ”

"The head of the family has an order, and all actions are under the command of Gao Gongzi, otherwise there will be no mercy!" Deng Yuan was very serious, they naturally knew the risks of going to Western Xia. That's why I took care of it beforehand.

Gao Pet called the team leaders to the front and made arrangements for today's itinerary.

"On the way, we must speed up, this inner township is more than 120 miles away from Nanyang, and strive to camp in Zhuyang, and the forward scout team must send more manpower to expand the reconnaissance area and strengthen contacts. The Deng family was with me in the squadron. ”

"Yes!"

Gao Zhong and his party are not real caravanserais, but an army on a special mission, so everything is militarized. In order to ensure that the people of the Deng family were fully photographed with the team's actions, Gao Zhong asked Zhao Yi to lead people and personally train the personnel of the Deng family on the road, practicing while walking.
