"Yes, yes, this man is wise. If you continue to stop him, your commander-in-chief may really die here if there is no one to save you. Why don't you let me and my men go quickly?" The assassin The boss continued to grab Ah Er’s neck and shouted.
The soldiers had no choice under his naked threat, and because they were really worried about Wang Zhongsi's injury, they couldn't help but move away to both sides, revealing a wide path.
The assassin leader controlled Ah Er while slowly moving outside the camp. Behind him were also surrounded by a dozen of his subordinates, all of whom were highly skilled and looked around with weapons in hand, maintaining a high level of vigilance. Under the protection of so many subordinates, the soldiers could not find any chance to sneak attack on the assassin boss, so they did not dare to take action rashly, for fear that it would really kill Wang Zhongsi and A'er at the same time. Although A'er was just A bodyguard, but when Wang Zhongsi was sleeping and handling official duties, he would mingle with the soldiers on duty, and his relationship with them was quite good. This is why Ah Er was able to directly call Wang Zhongsi's soldiers to serve as guards. The reason for death.
So dozens of people faced each other and slowly walked out of the tent, and kept moving slowly. The target of these assassins seemed to be the nearby military dock! Logically speaking, the upper reaches of the Sanggan River are not very wide, so it is impossible for large ships of more than a thousand stones to enter, so there will be no docks. But when a total of 400,000 troops gathered on both sides of the strait, out of strategic considerations, both sides had to build simple docks, and each collected many ships and berthed them in their respective docks. However, these ships are not used for fighting. The water in the upper reaches of the Sanggan River is actually not very deep. It only reaches the chest of an average person. Although wearing armor will sink a little deeper, you will never drown if a war really starts. If the two sides wanted to fight across the river, they would probably fight directly in the water, or build wooden bridges. These ships were used for other purposes.
However, for these assassins now, these boats are exactly what they need. Although the upper reaches of the Sanggan River can pass people, and those with strong skills can even walk on water, the distance is only seven to eight feet, and the body skills are good. Some of them can indeed get through, but it is obvious that few of these assassins can do it, and it is impossible for Tang Jun to do it. Therefore, in order to escape the pursuit of the Tang army, taking a boat is naturally the fastest way. Even if the Tang army is chasing them, they can increase the distance between the two sides by boat.
The strangeness in the main tent certainly attracted the attention of the nearby Tang troops. After discovering something was wrong, thousands of Tang troops suddenly swarmed nearby, and the number continued to increase. They were wearing all kinds of clothes. These guys all heard the rumors that Wang Shuai was assassinated and that the assassin took Wang Shuai's servant hostage and planned to escape by boat. They all rushed over with righteous indignation and wanted to avenge Wang Zhongsi. If it weren't for the soldiers who ran to remind him that they couldn't Otherwise, Ah Er's life would be in danger, so instead of surrounding him, they shouted at the assassins.
At the same time, many people secretly prepared small crossbows in their sleeves, preparing to shoot these daring guys on the spot once Ah Er escaped. There were even sharpshooters gathered on the roof of the nearby tents, taking aim one after another. After getting the heads of these assassins, you must know that this place is the gathering of the elites of the four major Jiedu Prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no shortage of various masters. If these assassins are not pretending to be Ye Qingcheng and the others, but really hold hostage what A Er wants. If I were to escape, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so smooth. In fact, more people are not very interested in the assassins, because they are not Wang Zhongsi's past and present subordinates of the Tang Army in Hedong and Shuofang, but the Longyou Army. For them, what they really care about is Wang Zhongsi's life and death. , if Wang Zhongsi was assassinated, it would be a huge blow to the entire Tang army, whether it was morale or internal unity. After losing Wang Zhongsi, will the Tang army here be divided into Hedong, Shuofang, and Longyou, and will the generals of these three armies fight on their own, especially among the people who come there are even deputy envoys with official residence. characters, will they obey others?
These guys who were thinking further ahead had already begun to consider the future of the Tang Army. The impulsive people were still shouting around these assassins, but they still watched helplessly as they slowly walked up to the place rammed with soil. At the simple pier, four wooden boats were boarded swaggeringly.
After being notified in advance by their colleagues, the Tang troops guarding the pier also watched helplessly as they boarded the ship but were unable to stop them. Thousands of people had gathered on the shore next to the pier. Bai Quan glanced at them and knew they were there. They had been targeted by countless crossbows. Once they let Ah Er go, their lives would be in danger.
There was nothing wrong with the three of them, but if the dead soldiers with them were able to stop the bows and arrows, it would be really embarrassing if they died in the hands of their own crossbows. He didn't want to These dead soldiers of the Tang Army died at the hands of their own people.
"Hey, boy, do you know how to dive?" In such a tense atmosphere, Bai Quan called out in the direction of Huan Chenyu on the other ship. Because Bai Quan looked at him, A'er knew that he was asking. Own.
"Yes." He gave an affirmative answer. As a guard who protects Wang Zhongsi, he is of course extremely skilled and knows some common skills. Although swimming and diving are not necessary skills, he just happens to be able to do it. It just so happens that he is here The plan can play some role.
And he also understood what Bai Quan meant. Of course he knew that their group had been targeted by countless archers and crossbowmen. Naturally, they were extremely dangerous. If they let him go too early, they would probably be fired by thousands of arrows. , died on the spot, but if he were to let him go when he reached the other side, he would be caught by the defenders on the other side, so Bai Quan probably meant to let him go when he was almost close to the other side and let him swim back to the Tang Army camp. ...No, Bai Quan was asking about diving. He suddenly understood Bai Quan's real intention. When he was about to approach the other side, he planned to let Huan Chenyu pretend to strangle him and throw him into the river, while he dived from other places. Returning to the Tang Army camp, in this case, the possibility of gaining the trust of the Xi Qi Allied Forces will be much higher.
Although it is now in the afternoon, when the light is the most abundant, the water in the Sanggan River is a bit turbid. Although it is located in the upper reaches, there have been two conflicts between the Tang Army and the Xiqi Allied Forces, so the water in the river is It was quite dirty. Abandoned Mingguang armors and leather armors abounded. As long as I was faster, I might be able to leave without attracting attention. Although those with good eyesight among the Tang army would probably see me, but Because the Xiqi Allied Forces were unaware of the commotion in the Tang Army's camp, even if a patrol on the shore noticed it, they probably wouldn't be able to see themselves. This method should be feasible.
