A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1183

[Chapter 1173 Night Attack]

Ximen Yokono explained the plan in detail, and everyone was excited and eager to try.

“My lord, there is a word from the humble general, I don’t know if I should say it or not.” Someone said respectfully.

Li Hongxin nodded and said, “But it’s okay to say it.”

“My lord, Wei Shutong suddenly issued an order to mobilize troops and horses from all over Xichuan.” The man said: “It is said that it is intended to be used to suppress bandits, and the troops and horses gathered will be stationed twenty miles north of the city. Today Some soldiers and horses have already arrived, and by tomorrow, at least two or three thousand people will be able to arrive, if these people know that something has happened in the city, will they…? clear.

The officers and soldiers from Wei Shu’s co-ordination are continuously gathering in Chengdu. Even if Li Hongxin controls Chengdu Fucheng, will he be able to deal with the officers and soldiers that are gathering?

“As soon as Wei Shutong and Qi Ning die, this group of people will lose their backbone.” Ximen Hengye smiled and said, “Your Highness has already figured out a way to deal with them. We will take over the Prefect’s Mansion and control the arsenal. Next, we will We can quickly control the silver treasury, the Ministry of Household Qing Li has our people, and the Xichuan silver treasury has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and this silver is the best weapon against the officers and soldiers outside the city.”

“Changshi said that if you take out the money, you can let them put down their weapons?”

Ximen Yokono said with a faint smile: “When the soldiers eat food, these soldiers stationed in Xichuan are just for the sake of eating. When the time comes, whether they will fight their lives to attack the city or take money to be obedient, it should be a good choice. Moreover, Xichuan gentry is very good at Chu State. They have already grown resentment, and they have been waiting for the prince to make a comeback. After the prince controls Chengdu, he will issue an order to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the businessmen and gentry in the city, and these people will definitely support the prince.” He took it out from his sleeve A scroll was opened and said, “I have already written a notice. As long as Wei Shutong and Qi Ning are killed, the notice will be transcribed immediately, and it will be published to the whole city at dawn tomorrow.”

Seeing that Li Hongxin and Ximen Yokono had already made arrangements, everyone felt even more relieved.

Dai Ling said: “Everyone, we don’t need to worry about the soldiers and horses outside the city. Even if they attack the city, Chengdu has a thick wall. When the Chu army came under the city, they couldn’t take Chengdu by storm. What’s more, there are only a few thousand people outside the city? They can’t supply food and grass at all. Come on, it’ll be gone soon.”

Li Hongxin finally said: “You don’t have to think about other things, as long as you take down the governor’s mansion, the king will arrange everything later.” Shen said: “Come on!”

Then a few people filed in through the side door. The two in front were holding big bowls, and the two at the back were holding two jars of wine. The big bowls were placed on the table mountain, and some people poured wine. Dai Ling took the lead and picked up a wine bowl. , other people also stepped forward to hold one, Li Hongxin picked up a wine bowl with one hand, swept over the crowd, and said solemnly: “This time, I will do my best to obey the destiny, if it fails, this king and you will live together. Death, if it is successful, from now on, this king will share the glory and wealth with you all!” He raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl.

Everyone did not talk nonsense, and they all drank the wine in their bowls.

“This king is waiting for the good news from you at the Shu Palace.” Li Hong said: “We only hope that when the day dawns, the entire Chengdu city will be ours!”

Everyone knelt down on one knee and said in unison, “I will definitely live up to the prince’s wishes!”

At three o’clock in the past, the entire Chengdu Fucheng was dead silent. Even the Jiyuefang, which closed the last time, had already taken off its lanterns, the streets and alleys were deserted, and most of the people in the city had already fallen asleep. among.

Dai Ling and a team of 100 people were hiding in a dim alley not far from the Governor’s Mansion.

This time, there were nearly 400 people, and the number was quite large. Just in case, the 400 people were divided into four groups and rushed towards the governor’s mansion.

Of course, these people know the situation in the city well. Although there are yamen who will occasionally patrol the streets at night, they have already mastered the rules of the yamen’s patrols, and they know when and where the yamen will appear. On the street, I also know which street yamen will rarely appear, and every time I cross a street,

There will be spies in front of them to explore the way. Li Hongxin has always been ambitious, thinking that he will be able to make a comeback one day, and the Jin Guanwei in his hands is one of the strengths he relies on the most.

Li Hongxin knew many years ago that if you want to control Xichuan, you must first control Chengdu. If you want to control Chengdu, you must first control the Governor’s House. No matter who is sitting at this position, the first blow of the comeback must be Go to the Governor’s House.

It is precisely because of this that Li Hongxin and his cronies have studied the strategy of how to capture the Governor’s Mansion countless times over the years, which way to rush to the Governor’s Mansion, when is the most suitable time, and how to attack the Governor’s Mansion. If he did, it was already planned, and Jin Guanwei, his subordinates, had been making preparations all these years, and he had never neglected his training.

After coming out of Xiqingfang, Jin Guanwei was divided into four groups, and all four groups of troops also accepted the battle plan. The main purpose of leading this group of people was to kill Wei Shutong and Qi Ning.

In this group, there are not only brave and skilled veterans, but also assassins secretly hired by Li Hongxin from Jianghushan. They are not weak in martial arts. Tonight’s action, using Dai Ling’s team as a sharp edge, will fully complete tonight’s action task.

Dai Ling is a fierce general under Li Hongxin. He is also excellent in martial arts, and he is not afraid of death, but he has been hiding behind the scenes all these years, but not many people know about Dai Ling’s existence.

A figure entered the alley like a ghost, came to Dai Ling, and whispered: “General, there are four guards at the front door of the prefect’s mansion, and two guards at the back door. They can all be shot with arrows. Most of the lights in the mansion have gone out, it should be Stop, there are no soldiers patrolling near the Governor’s House.”

Dai Ling looked up at the night sky. There was no moon tonight, and the entire Chengdu city was shrouded in darkness. This is of course good news for tonight’s action.

Dai Ling nodded slightly, clenched the knife in his hand, glanced back, raised his arm and waved, without hesitation, he was the first to rush out of the alley like a cheetah, and the soldiers behind him formed three teams in an orderly manner. They were dressed in coarse cloth, but they were holding bright swords in their hands, and there were also four or five people holding arrow crossbows in their hands.

Although the Yiwei Escort Bureau was able to bring in weapons, the number of hundreds of armors was too large, and although the weapons were secretly imported from the East China Sea, there were no armors. Li Hongxin naturally did not have armors in stock, so the soldiers who acted only A few people, including Dai Ling, wore armors. In order to hide from the public, the others wore the most ordinary folk coarse clothes to enter the city, and their attire was different. Clothes of all kinds, it is like a group of bandits rushed into the city.

Dai Ling is not worried that the other three groups of people will not be able to arrive in time. The time for the action has been determined in advance. Dai Ling believes that the other groups of people will arrive at the pre-set location on time. It will be able to launch an attack on the Governor’s Mansion at the same time.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the whole city was silent.

The team had already touched the alley diagonally opposite the Prefect’s Mansion without a sound.

Dai Ling stuck his head out of the alley and looked at the governor’s mansion. Outside the solemn governor’s mansion, four guards were guarding the main entrance like stone statues. The two stone lions crawling in front of the door seemed to have dozed off.

Dai Ling turned around, beckoned, and immediately came out from behind four soldiers, wearing wide cotton robes.

As winter approaches, some people have already put on padded clothes, which is not too uncommon.

The four of them obviously knew what their responsibilities were. They ran out of the alley and then slowly walked towards the main entrance of the Governor’s Mansion. Dai Ling had already slowly pulled out the knife from the scabbard, and his eyes were full of killing intent. , staring straight at the front door.

The four soldiers in cotton robes were getting closer to the main entrance of the Governor’s Mansion. The guards who were guarding the door had obviously sensed something was wrong. One of them pressed his saber tightly and said solemnly to the four of them, “Who?”

The four of them ignored it, but their footsteps had already accelerated slightly.

“This street has a curfew at night, don’t approach it.” The guard said sharply, “Leave quickly.”

The other three guards were also very alert, their hands were already holding the hilt of the knife, but one of the four soldiers suddenly accelerated and ran towards the main gate. The three behind them also ran almost at the same time, and opened the After taking out the robes, they took out the arrow crossbows that had been prepared long ago. They were all aimed at one of the guards. There was no time to fire. urgent.

These four people have undergone countless trainings. Such operations have long been familiar to them, and they have already assigned targets in advance. After a few “pupupu”, the crossbow arrows all shot into the vital points of the guards, and almost all of the four guards were He fell to the ground in response, and at this moment, a loud arrow had been shot into the night sky, making a harsh sound. It was Dai Ling who sent the signal. Kill me, rush into the mansion, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com No chickens and dogs!”

He was the first to rush out of the alley, heading straight for the gate of the Prefect’s Mansion.

The four soldiers in cotton clothes shot and killed the guards, but without delay, they rushed to the edge of the high wall, threw away the arrow crossbows in their hands, and took out a hook rope from each of them. He hooked up to the wall, and then quickly climbed up along the rope. His movements were extremely agile, and he had reached the wall in the blink of an eye.

A few people went up to the top of the wall, then jumped down from the top of the wall and rushed to the front door, which was to open the front door.

Dai Ling’s feet were fast, and the soldiers behind him were like wolves and tigers. They rushed to the front door. The four soldiers in cotton clothes had already opened the main door. I haven’t found out that someone has broken into the door, and still maintains the silence. Hundreds of people rushed into the mansion. The last few people immediately turned around and closed the door. Eight strong soldiers lined up to guard the door. The way for those who live in the house to go out.

Almost at this time, he heard the sound of killing from other directions. Dai Ling knew that the other three people had followed the plan in advance, and after receiving the signal of the sound of arrows, they simultaneously initiated the entrance to the governor’s mansion.

His purpose was to kill Wei Shutong and Qi Ning, and naturally he had already figured out Wei Shutong’s residence in advance.

The governor’s mansion was dead silent. On the way, no one was seen. Dai Ling led the people without any resistance. Even outside the courtyard where Wei Shutong lived, the door of the courtyard was even open. Ling waved his hand, and several people rushed into the courtyard first. The courtyard was full of people, and there were no lights in the house.

Dai Ling strode to the front of the house, but the soldiers under his hands quickly dispersed, surrounded Wei Shutong’s residence, Dai Ling kicked the house door open, and the men under his hands were like wolves and tigers Jump right in.
