Chapter 66: Night Attack (2)
September in the north, although it is still hot during the day, but at night it is a little cold panic, if there is some light rain, it is even more cold and tight, if there is not something important, people generally do not choose to go out on this kind of day, let alone take advantage of the night to walk a long way. At this moment, there are few pedestrians on the Beijing-Tianjin Road, and the howls of night owls are heard from the woods on both sides of the road from time to time, coupled with the light rain, it seems a little ghostly. Liang Ize kept waving the horsewhip in his hand, driving the horse under his crotch to gallop forward, reaching out from time to time to touch the thing in his arms to confirm whether the thing was still there.
Liang Size has always thought that he is a lucky person, yes, very lucky, an illiterate peasant child, he became a soldier before he was eighteen years old, fought several battles, not only did he not die, but he became the personal guard of the county prince, not only that, but also hung up the title of third-class inner guard, from the sixth grade, even the county magistrate in his hometown is only the seventh grade. Liang Size is very grateful to King Yijun, if it weren't for the prince, how could he have today's status as a small green battalion soldier. No matter what the prince wants him to do, even if it is to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, he will not have any complaints, according to Captain Liu's words, the soldier dies as a confidant.
Liang Ize didn't know what exactly was in his arms, but he knew very well that this thing was extremely important, because the prince told him that he had to personally hand it over to Deputy Commander Chen of the guard office as soon as possible no matter what. Since the prince explained as soon as possible, he Liang Size would never be ambiguous, although it was very dark and it was still raining lightly, he still desperately rode forward, fortunately, he had walked many times on this road when he was doing things for the prince on weekdays, and he was very familiar with it, and he was not afraid of losing his way.
I don't know when the rain stopped, and a little starlight leaked down, and in the distance I could see a high cliff standing abruptly. Qinglong Cliff, as soon as Liang Size saw this high cliff, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: After turning the Qinglong Cliff, he arrived at the boundary of the Jingshi, although it was still far from the capital, but it was finally on the outskirts of Beijing. Seeing that the task was about to be completed, Liang Size perked up, waved his horsewhip violently, and shouted: "Drive!" "Rushed towards the Blue Dragon Cliff.
Dangerous! As soon as he turned the Qinglong Cliff, Liang Size immediately sensed the arrival of the killing machine - dozens of masked cavalry blocked the road ahead, and in the light of the torches lit by those masked knights, you could see the bright swords and sharp arrows on the Xuan, the left side of the Qinglong Cliff is a high mountain cliff, and the right side is a surging river, and the group of masked knights is definitely ill-intentioned to set up an ambush here. Liang Ize is an old man, and he judged that the situation was not good at the first time: the forward impact was undoubtedly death, and it was impossible to turn around with his horse speed at this time, the left side was a mountain cliff, although it was not high, only twenty or thirty zhang, but it was not something he could climb up in a short time, and the only chance of life was the canal on the right.
If ordinary people saw an ambush ahead, they would definitely reflexively strangle the reins of the horse, but Liang Ize not only did not reduce the speed of the horse, but instead pulled out the saber on his waist, stabbed the horse's buttocks, increased the horse's speed a lot again, and roared in his mouth, "Kill!" "Kill the masked riders in front.
The masked cavalry was obviously also a veteran of murder, and seeing Liang Ize launch a frenzied attack, he didn't even panic at all, only heard a deep voice suddenly sound: "Release the arrow!" A bowstring sounded, and more than twenty feathered arrows pierced the night sky, with a roar of death, shooting towards Liang Ize like flying locusts. At this moment, Liang Size, who was originally riding on a horse, suddenly slammed to the side, flicked the stirrups, turned over and rolled under the horse, and rushed towards the canal with a few steps of forward rush.
It's fast, it's fast, it's almost one step away from jumping into the river, as long as you can jump into the river, you can have a glimmer of life. Liang Size's eyes had already seen the reflection of starlight flashing on the river, but at this moment, a dart suddenly flew out of the masked knight group, whistling and hitting his back. "Ahh Liang Ize let out a miserable scream, plunged into the river, and splashed a large splash. The masked horsemen galloped to the river, searching along the riverbank......
The post station of Tianjin Wei is not much different from the post station of other cities, it is located on the side of the road outside the city, it is also only for the officials who come and go, and it is equipped with convenient facilities such as post horses, rooms, guest rooms, etc., the only difference is that the post station of Tianjin Wei covers an area much larger, if it is a single area, it is only slightly smaller than the post station of Jingshi. Today, the post station of Tianjin Wei is deserted, and there is no bustle of the past, just because Yinzuo, the prince of Qincha, settled in the post station, and the other officials who came to stay were all arranged to go to the inn in the city, except for more than 20 idle post guards in the huge post station, only Yinzuo and his sixty or seventy soldiers of the Shanpu battalion were there.
The night was already very deep, and the originally deserted post station was already as silent as death at this time, except for a few dead wind lamps at the gate that were still flickering faintly with flames, the whole post station was dark and dreary, and there was no light at all. Several soft birdsong sounded, and several black shadows flashed out from the darkness, and the body was extremely fast, and a few flashes had come to the main entrance of the post station. It can be seen from the light of the dead wind lamp that these people are dressed in black, masked, and carrying bright knives and swords in their hands. The black-clothed men turned around at the door of the post station, and one of the black-clothed men at the head made a gesture, and a person suddenly rose up from among the black-clothed people, flashed in the air, and lightly crossed the wall, and after a while, the door of the post station opened silently.
After a low whistle, people in black continued to pour out of the darkness, holding knives in their hands, and rushed into the post station quickly and silently, rushing towards the Sanjin courtyard where Yinzuo lived. These black-clothed men were obviously well-trained, and the whole team was moving forward extremely fast, but they didn't make much noise, but in a moment, the Sanjin courtyard where Yinzuo lived was already surrounded by water. Hundreds of black-clothed people lined up in formation but did not attack, and the black-clothed man at the head seemed to hesitate a little - the entire courtyard was quiet without a trace of movement, obviously something was wrong, the Shanpu battalion has always been the pro-army to defend the emperor, how could it be that at this time, he hadn't noticed that the situation had changed, could it be that there was fraud in it?
The man in black hesitated for a while, but finally waved his hand violently, and in an instant, there were shouts of killing, and more than 100 men in black broke through the gate and rushed into the courtyard......
