Wei Zaode had been waiting outside for a long time. He had already gathered his men. Each of them was wearing some leather armor and holding a sharp knife. They were hiding in the mansion waiting for the siege signal from the invading army.
It took him half an hour to let his son go in to persuade his daughter. He was very afraid that her daughter would refuse to obey and eventually be killed, and the plan would go bankrupt.
"crunch"
As the sound of the door opening came, Wei Zaode turned around and saw that his son Wei Zhuizheng's clothes were a little messy. Looking more closely, his face was slightly red, and it was obvious that something had just happened.
"How's it going? Has your sister agreed?"
But he didn't question what happened just now, but was concerned about whether his daughter would agree or not. After all, this matter couldn't be done without her.
"Go back to father, my little sister agreed." Wei Zhuizheng also noticed that he was a little messy and quickly straightened his clothes.
"That's good. You can take her with you now, and remember to dress up nicely."
"Yes, father."
Wei Zhuizheng's heart was beating very hard, his breathing was rapid, and he suppressed his nervousness with all his strength.
…
At this moment, the army led by Luo Rucai has already arrived at the city. With his 30,000 troops plus the 50,000 troops transferred from the capital camp, the momentum is as intimidating as an army of 100,000 troops.
When this mighty army formed a formation and slowly moved towards the capital, the dark clouds in the sky became increasingly dense without knowing it. The original white clouds also turned into dark clouds, spreading along the horizon, rendering the entire surrounding sky like a battle.
The coming situation.
Meng Zhaoxiang, who was on the city tower, also personally held a sword to supervise the battle. When he looked at the invading army in the distance and saw the endless army, he knew that this time the invading army was really going to attack the city.
His heart suddenly became extremely solemn. Faced with the cowardice of the soldiers again, he directly ordered the soldiers behind him to behead some of the people who were too panicked in public. When the blood splashed in the air, the soldiers' faces turned pale, and they suppressed the fear in their hearts.
Hold the spear tightly.
"Someone, bring the money up!"
Following his words, dozens of soldiers tried their best to move the heavy boxes up one by one. The moment they reached the tower, they had no strength and accidentally dropped the boxes to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the wooden box could not withstand such a heavy blow, and it shattered instantly. The silver inside also poured out along the cracked place, and a large amount of white silver was displayed in front of everyone.
When they saw so much silver scattered on the ground, the soldiers couldn't help but stare at the silver. Even the intruders who were far away from the city wall were no longer afraid. At this moment, all their attention was focused on the silver.
above.
At this time, Meng Zhaoxiang walked to the broken box with his sword, waved away the two frightened soldiers, glanced around and said loudly: "You must have seen it! This silver is for you, but not everyone will get it.
Silver, only those who are brave and dare to kill the enemy are qualified to take silver!"
"A few hours ago, each of the artillery soldiers received fifty taels of silver. Now let me tell you, today only someone has made meritorious service, and the minimum is one hundred taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers present were shocked and started talking, "One hundred taels! But their salary for six or seven years! So much money is actually going to be awarded to them."
Everyone's eyes are shining at this moment, and everyone is staring at the money on the ground. Meng Zhaoxiang's words are like the sound of handing out money in their ears. This free money is much more effective than verbal promises.
This is truly practical!
"Today, the first person to kill Chuang Jun will be rewarded with a hundred taels!"
"Must win!"
Suddenly, an unknown soldier shouted, his voice high and contagious, and all the surrounding soldiers shouted together.
"Must win!" "Must win!"
…
Luo Rucai was adjusting the formation of the army at this time. He had no idea that the hearts of the imperial defenders on the city wall had undergone tremendous changes. He was busy organizing the army and did not pay attention to what was happening on the city wall.
"Archer! Center!"
"Infantry steps forward! Hold up your shield to resist!"
"Artillerymen, go back, don't move forward, wait for orders!"
"The cavalry are stationed on both wings, ready to follow the flag's command at any time!"
"Siege vehicles, attack! Artillery fire!"
As orders were issued one after another, the army moved in an orderly manner. Although there was some confusion, it did not lose order.
Looking at the changes in the formation of the intruders in the distance, Meng Zhaoxiang, who was on the tower, knew that the opponent was going to attack by force. If there was a force attack, bows and arrows and artillery would be indispensable. He immediately ordered people to bring Liu Zongmin. As long as the intruders were allowed to
Knowing that Liu Zongmin was on the tower, they would not dare to fire.
But he had no idea that Liu Zongmin, who was imprisoned in Zhao Prison, no longer seemed so safe.
A general named Luo Sheng did not dare to neglect, and led dozens of people down the city wall, and then immediately galloped towards the Zhao Prison of Fusi in the north town. However, he did not notice that there was a person in the corner not far away.
Watch them quietly.
Wei Zaode, who was waiting hard in the city, also felt the pressure of the army approaching. Combined with the changes in the weather at this time, he concluded that the Dashun army outside had formed a siege on the capital, so it was time for him to take action at this moment.
"Did you get the token?"
Wei Zhuizheng on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, I have already got it, but my little sister..."
"Okay, let's leave her alone at this time. You are half responsible for her death. If you hadn't been so lustful and forced your sister to do that unruly thing with you, it wouldn't be the same with those hundreds of households.
.”
Wei Zaode was very disgusted when he looked at his son. He thought that he was already very shameless, but he never expected that his son was even more despicable than him.
"Father, I..."
After hearing that Wei Zhuizheng still wanted to make excuses, Wei Zaode didn't want to hear it anymore, so he grabbed the token and left.
"You all understand, right? When you enter, you will immediately clear out the Jinyi Guards, and immediately retreat after rescuing you. If you encounter soldiers from the imperial court on the way, you know what to do."
In front of them stood a large number of killers dressed in brocade uniforms and guards, all of them with murderous looks and gloomy expressions. They all had a piece of red cloth tied to their left arm to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
"clear!"
"Okay, let's go!"
The killers turned around and left in an instant, as if they had experienced a huge gamble. Wei Zaode seemed to have lost his energy for a moment, and hurriedly sat down on the stone bench and rested.
…
The killers formed a team of 100 Jinyi guards and walked quickly towards Beizhen Fusi with expressionless faces. The Jinyi guards standing guard on the way saw the tokens above and did not dare to stop them, so they directly let them pass.
When they arrived at the gate of Zhao Prison without any hindrance, they were stopped. The person who stopped them was also a member of the Baihu family. When they saw the name on the waistband, they just thought it was their brother and didn't intend to care.
But the moment he looked away, he suddenly discovered that the man was not his brother, but he had a brother's badge on his waist. He immediately felt something was wrong and immediately led someone to stop him at the door.
"who are you?"
"Beizhen Fusi Baihu Houhua."
"You are not Hou Hua! Hou Hua is my brother, tell me, where did you get your belt?" Before the man from Baihu could finish speaking, the killer from the opposite side directly touched his neck with a knife, and he fell to the ground dead with his eyes wide open.
.
The two Jin Yiwei behind him also saw that something was wrong, and immediately drew their swords and tried to attack him, but they were directly rushed by the Jin Yiwei behind him and stabbed directly into the abdomen and died.
This place is already deep inside the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, but there are not many people on duty. On the contrary, there are hundreds of Jinyi guards standing guard outside. After easily solving the three Jinyi guards, the killers did not hesitate and opened the door directly.
He opened the prison gate and rushed in directly.
When a group of killers just stepped into Zhao Prison, countless arrows were shot towards them in an instant, hitting all the killers who entered Zhao Prison first. The killers behind quickly found shields to block them.
Obviously, there is a group of Jinyi guards hidden in Zhao Prison, probably just to prepare for the attempt to rescue Liu Zongmin. But if there is a stalemate here, when the Jinyi guards outside react, they will just be the turtle in the jar!
One of the leaders was so cruel that he grabbed a killer next to him and blocked him in front of him. Then he rushed in again. Without thinking, all the arrows he shot hit the man, almost killing him.
A hornet's nest.
When a large number of killers came in, the Jin Yiwei inside also knew that arrows could not stop them, so they immediately drew their swords and killed them. However, there were only a few dozen of them, and the place was not big. There were only a few of them.
They were all slaughtered in one round.
One of the leaders found Liu Zongmin in the cell, knelt in front of him and said, "I've seen you before!"
