Chapter 1745 Assassination and Counter-Assassination!
Chapter 1745
"Not good! Withdraw!"
In the distance, there was a faint sound of panic, but it was too late.
Hey!
I only heard bursts of shrill screams, accompanied by the trembling sound of bowstrings like wind and thunder. In an instant, the noisy pecking sounds of birds in the sky suddenly fell silent. Then, countless birds were pierced by sharp bows and arrows. , falling straight down from the sky.
bang bang!
The rain-like crashing sound could be heard endlessly, but within a short period of time, the surroundings were filled with blood like rain, and immediately filled with countless hawk corpses.
In an instant, there was only a scream, and all the hawks in the sky seemed to be greatly frightened, and they rose rapidly and flew away towards the distance. The birds that originally gathered in the sky above the palace of the foreign land disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
"My lord!"
After the battle was over, Chen Burang quickly stepped forward, walked behind Wang Chong, and said respectfully.
"All the enemy hawks have been temporarily driven away, but the battle is not over, and the opponent will definitely come again. This time, it is just to take advantage of the opportunity of the prince to send a thousand cavalry into the mansion, to mix in and take advantage of the opponent's defenseless Only then can we succeed. But next time, if the opponent is prepared, he will definitely fly higher and be more careful, and then our effect will be very limited!"
Most of the sharp archers in the army can shoot at a height of 1,000 meters, but further upwards, every increase of 500 meters is a series, and reaching two to three thousand meters is also rare among the sharp archers.
What Chen Burang brought this time was the strong archers in the hands of the archers. Although there were only a few dozen of them, the range reached nearly two kilometers, but after that, it would be difficult to touch them. In archery, shooting high and shooting far are two different concepts, just like a person can jump very far, but not necessarily the same height!
"Understood, thank you for your hard work, go down and rest."
Wang Chong said calmly.
This time, although they were not able to completely injure the opponent, they were able to shoot and kill more than 200 hawk sparrows at one time. The original purpose has been fully achieved, at least it can temporarily relieve the pressure on Zhang Que and the others.
"Young master!"
Just at this time,
With a flash of light, a faint fragrance hit. Miyame Ayaka, dressed in night clothes, appeared in front of Wang Chong like a ghost, kneeling on the ground with one knee, with an extremely respectful expression.
"The situation in the capital is very bad. They have far more people than us. In addition, they seem to have recruited some tracking masters in the rivers and lakes. Now they are chasing and killing us all over the city. I have led the assassination team to dispatch with all their strength, sniping They, however, are difficult to sustain for long."
Miyame Ayaka's whole body was covered by night clothes, but her exposed eyes were covered with beads of sweat, and her body was also dripping with sweat. It was obvious that she had experienced a fierce battle.
Now everyone is in a very bad situation. Not only is the sky over the palace being banned by the opponent, but assassinations are also being carried out everywhere in the capital. The opponent seems to want to kill and wipe out Wang Chong's eyes and ears in the capital.
"Understood."
Wang Chong nodded, his expression was calm, as if he knew everything in his chest, and he had already prepared countermeasures:
"Have the people from Fenglin Huo arrived?"
"Except for the necessary, the requirement for force is not high. After monitoring the manpower of the border guards, everyone has already arrived. However, the fourth group of Fenglinhuo only obeys the order of the young master, and everyone is waiting for the order of the young master. I can't order it either."
Miyame Ayaka said sincerely.
"Send Fenglin Huohan, let's start to act. In addition..."
Wang Chong paused, and with a snap, he stretched out his palm, took off the token on his waist, and quickly flung it over.
"From now on, Fenglin Volcano is at your disposal."
Feng Linhuo is the four groups of spies formed by Wang Chong. The elite forces in his eyes and ears are not only good at scouting news, but also have amazing strength. They were originally released by Wang Chong to scout the power of the eight wilderness countries, whether it is the Turks in the East or the West. , Dashi is still Goguryeo, every move can't escape Wang Chong's eyes and ears.
But now, the impact of the largest civil strife in the history of Tang Dynasty has surpassed the reconnaissance of various countries. If they wanted to deal with Donggong's crowd tactics, they could only recall Fenglinhuo's four groups.
"Yes! The subordinates must go all out!"
Miyame Ayaka received the token, and with a flick of her body, it immediately turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared like a ghost.
Chen Burang and Gongyu Ayaka left quickly, and on the other side, Zhang Que also began to recall the injured hawks and began to treat them one by one. The entire foreign palace was busy.
Wang Chong raised his head, and saw dark clouds hanging down in the night sky. Looking around, the lights were sparse, and the bustle and bustle of the past was completely gone. Not far from the palace of the foreign land, many private houses were also gates. Closed tightly, there is no light in the room, and there is a sign of chilling.
——The people in the entire capital also seemed to feel something.
"Cheng Sanyuan!"
Wang Chong suddenly said.
"The subordinates are here!"
Cheng Sanyuan quickly stepped forward, bowed and said.
"Take this letter, everything will be done according to the letter!"
Wang Chong stretched out his palm and took out the letterhead he had prepared from his left sleeve.
"Yes, my lord!"
Cheng Sanyuan was startled, and quickly stepped forward, took the letter paper respectfully, turned and left.
Wang Chong stood alone in the courtyard, surrounded by countless Jinwu guards guarding the light and dark, and a thousand armored cavalry summoned in.
As the autumn wind blew, Wang Chong raised his head and looked at the brightly lit Datang Palace in the distance. His eyes became extremely deep. At that moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
...
"boom!"
Only a moment later, a resounding bell sounded from the depths of the palace. With the sound of the resounding bell, the gate of the palace opened wide. Amidst the sound of horseshoes, countless imperial guards marched mightily, like an icy hurricane. Like a torrent of steel, it rushed out of the imperial city.
"Hurry up!"
There were countless sounds of whipping the war horses, and the sound of kicking the horse's belly vigorously, but in the blink of an eye, all the imperial cavalry rushed out quickly and disappeared without a trace.
"There is an order from the imperial court. After the time of Xu, the whole city will be curfew! Anyone who violates the order will be executed!"
Stern shouts resounded through the capital.
Those imperial guards who rushed out of the palace, in groups of ten, were quickly divided into thousands of groups, spreading all over the entire capital. However, the capital, which was originally lively, was deserted after the time of Xu, only the sound of hoofs rattling. Far, far away in the night.
"Daddy, what's a curfew?"
In a private house in the east of the city, a seven or eight-year-old boy stuck his head out of the window and looked outside curiously. But before he finished speaking, shhh, a voice came from behind, and then, a palm covered the child's mouth, and quickly pulled him back.
boom!
The two windows were quickly closed, and even the lights that were on inside were blown out with a puff, and the room was completely silent.
But the streets and alleys outside the window were full of noise, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and even the stone slabs on the ground were trembling, but only for a moment, a group of forbidden troops swept past the house disappear into the distance.
bang bang bang!
Restaurants, tea shops, many places that were originally lit, suddenly closed their doors.
Since the Holy Emperor succeeded to the throne and the chaos decades ago, the entire capital finally had a curfew again, and the capital of Youda became empty and deserted in an instant, but in other places, there were dark streets and alleys that ordinary people could not notice. , another invisible battle is unfolding.
"call!"
The wind howled, and on one of the moss-covered street walls, a light flashed, and suddenly there was a row of figures. These people held knives, swords, and daggers in their hands, and all of them were wearing night clothes. , Beng tightened his waist, like a stretched string, and everyone stared fiercely at the opposite side like a beast.
Across the old wall on the opposite side, in the night, a pair of eyes were shining like cold stars. It was another group of people, lined up in an arc, also holding swords and weapons tightly in their hands, their bodies arched fiercely, as if they were ready to go out at any time.
The atmosphere was tense, the two sides confronted each other, and no one spoke.
"bark!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of barking dogs in the distance, and the next moment, a strong man headed on the left suddenly roared, suddenly rose into the air, jumped over the old wall, and rushed towards the opposite side.
At the same time, on the wall of the street on the right, more than a dozen masked men in night clothes shot out at the same time without saying a word, and rushed towards the opposite figure.
"Pfft!"
The sharp blade pierced into the body, detonating blood spray all over the sky, and in the dark night, two groups of men and horses quickly fought together. This was a silent battle, except for the initial growl, no one made a sound in the darkness.
bang bang bang!
The sharp blades flickered and stabbed rapidly in the void, bringing out one after another bleak arcs in the void, and the corpses fell down continuously at the sound of stabbing, falling on the cold stone slabs, their bodies It quickly became icy cold, and the gurgling blood formed a piece on the ground like a stream.
The battle started quickly, and ended even faster, and everything was over in just a moment. The few people were covered in wounds and stood still, while the others turned into corpses and fell to the ground.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the few survivors left and disappeared. And after a while, even the corpses on the ground disappeared.
Both sides seem to abide by certain rules, no matter what, this battle will not disturb the ordinary people in the capital.
While the fighting in one place is over, the fighting in another is just beginning.
Whoosh!
On the tiles in the east of the city, there was a flash of light, and a figure was as light as a civet cat. It only made a vertical leap, and immediately leaped lightly to the roof. Except for a tile being lifted, there was no other sound. His body was bowed, his body was half lying on the roof, and he looked around alertly.
But the next moment, with a bang, right under his feet, a roof tile suddenly shattered, and a steel-like palm pierced through the roof, grabbing the man's ankle. Ah, in the blink of an eye, the man screamed, and wanted to jump away, but soon, a sharp sword pierced into the man's body from below.
Accompanied by a burst of crashing sounds, the man's body stiffened and fell down, and then everything was silent.
Everything around has also returned to silence.
In the south of the city, the east of the city, the north of the city, teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys... In the darkness, assassinations and counter-assassinations are happening almost everywhere. Tonight, the entire capital has turned into a battlefield. This is a war without gunpowder smoke. Every moment, life disappears silently in the darkness.
