There are not many people, only more than ten people, but all of them are vigorous, and the standard equipment of the Ming army on their bodies is also the best configuration that the Weisuo army can get, which can be called well-equipped.

In order to hide people's eyes in the night, hidden in the cloak is also a small number of Ming army elite newly equipped flintlock firearms. Because it is not easy to reload the sub-charge, these guns are loaded in advance and used as weapons for one-time firing. In order to break through the sentry at the foot of the mountain, they had already used up about four or five firearms, and the remaining firecrackers only waited for a suitable distance to shoot at Zhu Su to achieve their goal of assassinating the king.

Although the relationship was quelled early because of the chaos, they failed to take advantage of the chaos to directly approach Zhu Su...... But they have also seen that the number of guards around Zhu Su is not large, and they still have great hope.

Bang bang bang! This time it was a volley of fire from Zhu Su's side, and the assassins who were rushing up fell four or five people, and the team was stagnant.

"Don't be afraid! At this distance, the firebolt can only be fired once! As long as he approached Zhu Su's side...... "The leading assassin loudly boosted morale. They are also the Ming army, and they naturally know that although the new guns of the Ming Dynasty have improved the firing and reloading methods, even if it is paper-shell gunpowder, the time to load the ammunition has not reached a very fast point.

It is also for this reason that the Ming army needs to use three-stage strikes to ensure the rate of fire.

These guards of the King of Zhou did not carry bows and arrows on their bodies, that is, they no longer had the means of long-range countermeasures. As long as these people take a few steps forward, they can kill this king of Zhou......

At that time, a little person like himself will also go down in history......

Bang bang bang!

Another series of firecracks sounded, and the leader almost reflexively thought that his own people had rushed to the left of Zhu Su, the king of Zhou, and fired the firearm that assassinated the king......

However, the truth is that all of them are far from being able to climb to the height of being able to shoot the fire gun and shoot the king of Zhou. Instead, his companions struck down five or six more.

It's those fire guns shot by Zhou Wangwei on the mountain!

"No...... How can it be! "The leader was shocked, those Zhou Wangwei, obviously each of them only wore a fire gun in their hands, and they didn't use a three-stage attack, how could they have such a fast rate of fire!

He finally felt timid, and now there were only three people left around him, including himself...... The salvo of the three of them can no longer form an effective barrage, and it is already difficult to kill King Zhou!

"Catch them." On the mountain bag, Zhu Su suppressed the anger in his heart and coldly ordered. "This king wants to live!"

There were only three people left, and Zhou Wangwei, who was guarding Zhu Su's side, immediately divided a few people and went to capture the remaining thieves. In addition, the dogs under the mountain heard the movement here and hurriedly returned with manpower to help, and these Ming soldiers of unknown origin were soon surrounded.

……

"Your Highness, I beg your pardon for our incompetence...... The three thieves have all committed suicide by swallowing poison. At this time, the battle in Shuidong Village was nearing its end, and several uninvited guests were silent. The dog came to Zhu Su's side with a lot of guilt and knelt on one knee.

“…… It's okay, hehe, it's still some dead soldiers......" Zhu Su's voice laughed coldly. "Have you ever checked the ordnance they used?"

"Checked." The dog replied. "Although the inscriptions have been polished, there is no doubt that they are all my Ming weapons!"

"It's obvious." Zhu Su sneered.

"These people, armed with my Ming armament, have aimed their blades at this king, the king of Ming Zhou." In Zhu Su's voice, anger was suppressed. It was not that he had not been assassinated, and even if Emperor Timur led an army to take his head, it was far from being so dangerous. The reason is that the army of Timurid the Great was brave and brave, but there was no such weapon as a volley...... This kind of sharp weapon was supposed to be the army of the Ming Dynasty, used to meet the needs of other enemies.

What's more, the improvement of the fire gun is still closely related to him Zhu Su himself...... As a result, it was used to assassinate himself, how could Zhu Su not be angry?

…… Fortunately, his Zhou Wangwei was equipped with a more advanced rear-loading gun than the standard firecracker. The bullets of these rear-loading guns were extremely fast, which surprised the Assassins in terms of rate of fire, and overpowered them.

However, if the Assassins were more numerous...... The consequences are unimaginable.

“…… It's a pity that these people have all committed suicide, and there is no witness. The dog had already guessed who had sent them. Regarding the assassination of Zhu Su, Rao is always calm, but at this time, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, and he was also extremely angry at the only possible murderer, Ma Ye. "Your Highness, it's better for me to go and shoot Ma Ye with a fire gun in the dark."

Although he Ma Ye has worn off the armor inscriptions, his actions are not far from blatant. We're just ...... the way we are."

"The mad dog bit us, should we bite back too?" Zhu Su said. "We need witnesses."

"But...... "The dog was a little puzzled." These dead men have ......"

"Although these dead soldiers have not left any alive, aren't there still many alive in the western part of the water that came to attack here?" Zhu Su said. "You go, assist Song Qin Tusi."

"Be sure to take down a few Shuixi people who have come to attack the village...... These people are the ironclad evidence that Ma Ye intended to assassinate the king! ”

Ma Ye doesn't follow the rules, and he doesn't have to follow any rules in order to maintain the dignity of the court. Didn't Ma Ye send a dead soldier and not leave a witness for Zhu Su for him?

Then, just grab a few "human witnesses" yourself. Anyway, he was assassinated, and many people in Shuidong saw it. Coupled with the "human evidence" that can prove that Shuixi was instigated by Ma Ye, it is enough to put him Ma Ye to death.

It's a big deal, find another dagger and draw a little blood on your arm. As the king of Zhou, I don't know where the position is more expensive than this Ma Ye. As long as he insisted that he was injured because of Ma Ye's assassination, could anyone in the court really dare to stand up and speak to Ma Ye These rogue tricks have made Ma Ye rampant for so long......

He really couldn't imagine that Ma Ye would be so bold.

Playing a scoundrel for no reason is indeed too reluctant. But now that he has Ma Ye's handle in his hand, he will be a scoundrel again, and he will have no scruples.

Even if this thing really wasn't done by Ma Ye, then these "witnesses" must admit that Ma Ye did it!

On the west side of the stockade, Adu and his own people are clumsily supporting Song Qin's attack. He didn't know that among his clansmen, there were dead soldiers sent by Ma Ye...... His idea was very direct, that is, to take advantage of the night to sneak attack Shuidongzhai with the fastest night, and then kill Zhu Su, the king of Zhou.

However, the situation has begun to be controlled by Song Qin, and he has entered a situation where it is difficult to move an inch.
