"Hey! What are you doing?!"
"Damn it! This untrustworthy Beiyi!"
"Kill them!"
When Zhao Si, dressed as Huan Chenyu, killed A'er and kicked him into the river, this action completely angered the Tang troops who had been watching the situation on the bank. They couldn't help but continue The archers and crossbowmen no longer tried to hide their curses, because the important hostages were gone, and they started shooting at the four wooden boats on the river.
Ye Qingcheng's worries did not arise at all. In anger, these Tang Army archers lost their minds and kept pouring their anger into arrows, hoping to shoot these daring Beiyi assassins. Kill him on the spot, but it can't be that easy.
Among the four ships present, three of them were occupied by Ye Qingcheng and the others. The three of them suddenly jumped up and waved the horizontal sword in their hands, playing the long and heavy horizontal sword like a toy. It seems that no crossbow can penetrate their defense line in front of them, which is simply unbelievable, but in fact, as long as they are true masters, they can do it like them.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Several Tang soldiers on another ship next to them immediately took out the shields from the equipment of several Tang soldiers on the ship, and set up a copper wall and iron wall composed of three shields. Those bows and crossbows hit the From above, sporadic sparks and fierce "clang-clang-clang" sounds were emitted, but the three of them remained unmoved and clung to the shield, but they did not suffer any damage.
The Tang troops who rushed to the pier and the shore, except for the crossbowmen who were still shooting, were all stunned. Under such a dense rain of crossbows, these more than ten assassins were able to handle them with ease. Among them, three masters on the three boats. They were able to withstand the dense rain of arrows with one hand, and their companions who hid behind them were unscathed.
Suddenly, countless people had the same thought in their minds: How could Wang Shuai resist an assassin of this level? Is it possible that the rumor that is going viral that Wang Shuai has been assassinated is actually true? If they encountered such an assassin, they would definitely not be able to survive. Moreover, if the assassination was not successful, why would they escape? Not only did he put himself in danger, but he also made the trip in vain and got nothing.
As a result, among these Tang troops, the rumor that Wang Zhongsi had been assassinated actually became real, and it became more and more crazy.
Since the four ships were already approaching the opposite dock, these Tang soldiers finally calmed down and stopped wasting arrows. Anyway, it was useless no matter how much they shot, they could only waste arrows. Even though they were now well-equipped, they still It's not meant to be wasted like this.
As for the dock of the Xi-Qi coalition forces, since the Khitan camp has withdrawn several miles north, the original camp should be full of Xi people, and they should be the ones guarding the dock. However, in terms of appearance and language, outsiders are not welcome at all. I can't tell the difference between the two races.
Just as the guards on the pier and some of the defenders behind them were very wary of Ye Qingcheng and his party, and at the same time a considerable number of Xiqi coalition defenders were rushing towards this direction, a Beiyi man on horseback suddenly rushed towards him. When he arrived at the pier, he shouted in Khitan: "Stop!"
He was able to run horses in the military camp, which shows that this guy's status should not be low. Because of this, the defenders who were very wary of Ye Qingcheng and the others stepped out of the way. After seeing Ye Qingcheng and the others being rained down by arrows, they were unharmed. After the injury scene, how dare these guys really fight with these guys.
This guy galloped to the shore next to the pier. Although it was said to be a pier, the pier on the side of the Xiqi Allied Forces was actually a small mound, which was in sharp contrast to the strict pier of the Tang Army opposite. Even the ships looked There was a big difference, which made Huan Chenyu's face reveal an extremely contemptuous look.
Seeing someone stopping the defenders, Ye Qingcheng and his party immediately jumped off the boat and faced off nervously with the northern barbarians surrounding them.
"Who are Mr. Zhao Si and his subordinates?" That man could actually speak Chinese.
"I'm just right. I'd like to thank Brother Shi Mo for taking care of me earlier." Huan Chenyu smiled and replied. Although he didn't know this person, the puppet insect had already told him his identity through a low-pitched voice transmission. , he is one of the close servants of the Khitan chief Li Huaixiu. Since he can speak Chinese, and it is impossible for Li Huaixiu himself to come to pick up Zhao Si, this guy came to pick up everyone. When he was in the Khitan tooth tent before, Zhao Si Except for a few major decisions in the communication between Si and Li Huaixiu, this guy basically acted as the middleman.
But at this time, a question mark appeared on Ye Qingcheng's head. Didn't it mean that the Khitan camp had withdrawn several miles north? Even the sentry tower of the Tang army's camp can see the camp and the gloomy defenders inside, as well as sentries patrolling back and forth. The size of the torches at night is also consistent with the Khitan army. But this guy was able to arrive in a short time. Although he saw someone from the defenders at the dock going to report the news, he didn't believe that this person could get to the Khitan camp, and this Shimochi dog could arrive in a short time. He rode his horse and rushed to the pier, and judging from the fact that the horse he was riding was barely breathing, he must have arrived from a very close place.
At this time, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Huan Chenyu, and found that there was the same confusion in his eyes as his own: since this stone mochi dog is Li Huaixiu's valet, so to speak, Li Huaixiu is still at the Xiqi Allied Forces Camp inside? In other words, since he is still in this camp, it means that the camp to the north is most likely fake, and most of the Khitan army should still be in the Xi-Qi coalition camp, but they can actually hold it in, Let Xi Ren carry out the patrols and daily patrols. This patience is probably waiting for some opportunity.
Ye Qingcheng boldly guessed that the opportunity they were waiting for was probably the assassination of Wang Zhongsi. They didn't know that Zhao Si could only be considered a mid-level player in the Tang Sect. They naively thought that the high price of 5,000 guan would be enough to hire him. The Tang Sect assassins are bound to be extremely skilled. Although Zhao Si's skills are indeed extremely high, he is still a little behind the top assassins in the Tang Sect. However, with the high profile of Tangjiabao, it is impossible to let that kind of Experts of this level are hired by foreign enemies, otherwise both reputation and status in the world will have a great impact. And Zhao Si has been looking for an opportunity to assassinate Wang Zhongsi. It took him several days to slowly get close to Wang Zhongsi. Especially today, he finally found the opportunity. Wang Zhongsi planned to have a private conversation with Ye Qingcheng, while A'er and another person The attendants would be dismissed, so it was best to take action at this time, so he summoned his companions, listened to the conversation between the two of them, and then killed them with poison. If that didn't work, he used a signal to cause a commotion among the brothers outside the tent. He took another opportunity to kill Wang Zhongsi, but he didn't expect that Ye Qingcheng would be killed halfway.
