Chapter 3 Murder in the Night(2/2)
Sister Tian looked at them blankly, as if they didn't understand.
Xiang Shaolong called the two girls forward, hugged them tightly, kissed and touched them: "It will be your turn tomorrow night."
Second watch time.
From the gate of the command post in the east of the city, a group of more than 200 knights galloped out, formed a formation, drove up the long street, then turned left to join the express road near the city wall, and patrolled along the city.
Except for the four lanterns at the head and tail for lighting, the middle part of the procession was submerged in darkness, making it difficult for people to see clearly.
Two rows of forty knights each formed a long formation, walking one by one on the outer rails, protecting the five groups of knights walking in the middle like two movable walls. Everyone held a long shield and faced the outside. Even if there were people If you place arrows on the eaves or on the side of the road for a sneak attack, you can never expect to hit them all at once, let alone the cavalry in the middle.
The group of knights in the middle is extremely large, with fifty people in total. Those on the outside are all holding high shields, which tells people that there are important people in this group.
The other four groups each have about twenty people, all carrying spears, which can be used for sprinting and throwing.
Under the strong autumn wind, a solemn and solemn atmosphere can be seen.
The sound of hooves shattered the tranquility of the night.
There were more than thirty steps between groups. Even if they were ambushed, it would be difficult to completely surround them unless the enemy's strength was ten times theirs. After walking for about half a mile, the men and horses quickly left the chariots and horses leaning against the city wall.
Then, turn right and return to the city.
There were thick clouds in the sky, and there were no stars or moonlight.
The members of the elite team who had been tracking them hurriedly climbed to a high place, and used the firelight to signal the nearest teammate to the position of the Lecheng team in a place that was difficult to see from the enemy.
Xiang Shaolong and others, who stayed outside Lecheng's residence, quickly determined the route Lecheng would take and made arrangements.
Xiang Shaolong and others were lying on the eaves. Their heads and faces were tightly wrapped in black cloth, with only a pair of eyes exposed. They looked like a group of ghosts that only appeared in the dark. When they saw the dim light of lanterns appearing in the distance of the long street
, the heart in my throat was relieved.
If Lecheng did not come to Beppu from this direction, tonight's action would have to be abandoned.
With the sound of hooves, the prey comes closer and closer.
Wu Zhuo on the left said: "Although Lecheng is debauched and evil, he is worthy of being a famous general of the Zhao Kingdom. Just looking at this military formation, you can see that he has real knowledge."
Shanrou on the right whispered: "Lecheng is mine, I will cut off his dog head with my own hands."
Xiang Shaolong deliberately approached her, nibbled her ear with his mouth, and then whispered: "This is a hunting ground in the city. Whoever is more capable will have the biggest harvest."
Shanrou's beautiful eyes flashed with cold light, she turned her head away as if to look at him with disdain, but did not move away from her delicate body.
Xiang Shaolong felt aroused.
At this time, the leading troops carrying lanterns had arrived below where they were hiding and walked over.
Enemies ran across the long street group by group, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Xiang Shaolong knew it was time and nudged Wu Zhuo. At this time, the group with the largest number of knights, including Le Cheng, had just arrived at the center of the street.
Wu Zhuo screamed, breaking the regular sound of horse hooves.
The enemies were all shocked and looked to both sides.
There was a constant "whisking" sound, and the elite regiment members crouched on the eaves on both sides, firing crossbows and arrows, taking away the horses but not the men.
The screams of war horses and the angry shouts of men resounded in the sky.
The lantern fell to the ground, the dark horse jumped in surprise, and the situation was chaotic.
However, the entire formation was still roughly intact, which shows that Zhao Jun is indeed a well-trained and elite soldier.
Wu Zhuo knew it was time and used the secret bluff to attack again.
Xiang Shaolong still hasn't made a move, Shanrou has jumped out of the eaves like a leopard, fell a few feet first, then flew out of the long rope, hung the climbing tool around his waist, and arrived above the street in the darkness like a heavenly soldier.
.
At the same time, more than ten burning fireballs were thrown from both sides, vaguely illuminating the enemy's position. At this moment, the enemy still thought that the attackers were coming from both sides, unaware that the large group of evil stars had already arrived overhead.
The flying knives thrown by this group of heavenly soldiers were all impeccable in accuracy and force. When the enemy was alerted, at least half of them were hit by the sword and fell from their horses. The entire formation was immediately defeated.
The horses that lost their masters ran rampant and became a mess.
Le Cheng's group was the target of public criticism and suffered the most serious injuries. More than fifty people were knocked down, and nearly twenty others fell off their horses.
Most of those who were hit by the knife were injured in the vital parts of the face or chest. In an instant, the quiet long street turned into a Shura hell with chess and horses falling.
Xiang Shaolong and others used waist ropes to descend from the sky.
Before Xiang Shaolong's feet touched the ground, he stretched out from left to right. Two enemies who had no time to dismount were hit in front of him, and the flying horned horses dismounted. When he landed on the ground, a bloody wave came out of his sheath, and two of the three enemies who rushed towards him were aboard.
After one person paid the bill, the other person slashed Shanrou from behind and fell towards Xiang Shaolong with a scream.
Xiang Shaolong dodged and glanced around, only to see a burning red light on the ground. More than a dozen personal guards were protecting Le Cheng, who still looked calm, and retreated to the alleyway.
The long street shouted to kill Zhentian, and elite soldiers rushed out from both sides, holding giant axes, to kill the defeated enemies, leaving Le Cheng's group isolated and helpless.
Xiang Shaolong winked at Wu Zhuo and led four of his men to attack him.
She was as kind and gentle as a tigress. After knocking over two people, she then threw a throwing knife. The second came first, and she got ahead of Xiang Wu and the other two, and shot one of them into the throat. She was worthy of being a first-rate female assassin.
Lecheng shouted: "Go up"
Immediately, five people rushed forward to greet Xiang Wu and others, but he continued to retreat.
Xiang Shaolong shouted: "Lecheng traitor, let me, Xiang Shaolong, take your life."
Le Cheng had already retreated to the entrance of the alley. He was calm in his heart and said with a ferocious smile: "Come over if you have the ability."
Shanrou passed by Xiang Shaolong's side, the sword light rose sharply, and she took the lead to meet the enemy.
Xiang Wu and others were afraid that she would make a mistake, so they rushed to take action. For a moment, there were flashes of swords and murderous intent.
This group of people are all the best swordsmen around Le Cheng, and they are no match for them.
When Le Cheng was about to turn around and flee into Qi Alley, the people who were covering him fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Jing Jun led several people to jump down, forcing Le Cheng and others to retreat into the street in a hurry.
The people in front could no longer hold on anymore and fell to the ground with blood splattered on them. Le Cheng had no choice but to shout: "Follow me."
The remaining six people followed him and ran towards Xiang Shaolong and others.
Le Cheng gave a sharp scolding and slashed out with his sword, faster than lightning. In the blink of an eye, he and Xiang Shaolong exchanged three sword blows.
His ears were as strong as Xiang Shaolong's, but when the last sword was struck, he couldn't resist it, and was so shocked that he took three steps back. Jing Jun cleared the enemies blocking the way, did a somersault, and kicked up his flying feet before landing.
One after another, it hit Lecheng's vest with a "bang" sound.
Lecheng stumbled forward and dropped his helmet.
With a flash of sword light, Shanrou, who had just beheaded an enemy, jumped out of nowhere and rushed in front of Xiang Shaolong. Amidst the screams, Lecheng immediately fell to the ground, his body dislocated, and he died tragically on the spot.
Wu Zhuozhi raised his rank and gave the order to retreat.
The long ropes that crossed the sky over the long street were also pulled back without leaving any trace.
The entire operation took less than half a cup of hot tea, and fully demonstrated the high-efficiency spirit and explosive attack power of the special forces.
