Originally I was thinking that as long as Jinling City was conquered here, I could dominate Jinling again.
And he can escape from the sea of misery, and then he can go back to the city and relax with his new concubine Luzhu.
Now everything is dissipating, and it seems that the hazy figure is getting away from him step by step. All the strength in his body seemed to be slowly disappearing, and he was sneak attacked by the person in front of him.
Feeling unwilling and resentful, he instinctively kicked his legs forward, wanting to fight back at the young captain in front of him. Who would have thought that after the opponent succeeded in one blow, he would have already been on guard and paid attention.
Seeing that he wanted to take action, he just raised his leg slightly, then turned aside and immediately stepped back.
A successful assassination, although he did not die immediately, but looking at the position where the knife was struck, he was afraid that even if the gods came, it would be difficult to save him immediately. Because he had a protective goggle on his chest and was wearing special leather armor, he was not completely pierced by the opponent.
But he wasn't much better, because the disguised urgent letter in the other person's hand actually contained a dagger, a dagger that could kill someone. This can be said to be a dagger that cuts iron like clay!
Although there is a cloth strip wrapped around the handle, it looks like an inconspicuous dagger, but in fact it was added by the killer to prevent the weapon from missing. The dagger was originally rolled up inside the urgent letter and rolled into a cylindrical letter.
Who would have known that just such a piece of silk paper would turn out to be a fatal letter, and an attack would be launched at the critical moment. It can be said that there is no defense. After all, this is in one's own territory, and this person came in after being inspected by soldiers outside.
It happened that such a harmless person, or someone who was impossible to think of, actually carried out the assassination. The other party was not only calm and calm, but also came in with such a swagger that no one expected that he would suddenly take action.
If he is not a professional killer, he must be a strictly trained person.
Attack quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, not allowing anyone to react at all.
When the dagger stabbed Xia Zuo's chest, the blade did not penetrate directly into the chest due to the barrier. It obviously exceeded the other party's expectations. But the other party didn't hesitate at all, and directly cut open the leather armor on Xia Zuo's right side, and inserted the dagger into Xia Zuo's right chest, penetrating his lungs.
Such a calm and confident killing move, not only Xia Zuo, the general guarding the water stronghold, but also some of the best players in the world, would probably fall for it.
At this moment, Xia Zuo was not only bleeding from his chest, but also because he had stabbed the right lung lobe, and his breathing in the trachea brought out a lot of blood. The blood gushed out from Xia Zuo's mouth and nose like a faucet that had been turned on.
Among the generals under Zhang Wenbiao, the governor of Hengzhou, Xia Zuo was not weak in skill, and he had always been quite conceited. As a native of the Chu region, he is naturally somewhat tough in his character. But the young captain in front of him was even more calm, quietly watching him fall into destruction.
Xia Zuo almost immediately took action calmly even though he suffered a heavy blow. The young captain might have wanted to take the opportunity to smash Xia Zuo's right chest with the dagger, killing Xia Zuo with one blow. But Xia Zuo raised his leg and kicked him, forcing the captain to let go and retreat.
The scene was a bit weird, everything happened too fast. When Xia Zuo found out that he had been stabbed and the other party had retreated, it actually happened in the blink of an eye.
Not to mention that Xia Zuo himself couldn't react, even the tooth soldiers guarding the door didn't notice what happened. But the young captain reacted quickly. When he found that Xia Zuo was weak and about to fall, the young captain immediately rushed over again.
"Be bold!"
The two tooth soldiers guarding the inside of the door were originally facing outside. Because the young captain came in to deliver a message, they helped open the wooden door and waited for him outside. But everything happened too fast, even though they witnessed the whole process.
Their mission is to protect Xia Zuo, and they can be regarded as tooth soldiers brought by the Xia family. They are either children of the Xia family or private soldiers trained by the children of the Xia family. Although he may not be completely convinced by Xia Zuo, he is definitely loyal to the Xia family.
Seeing this sudden change, they were all stunned and unable to react at all for a moment. But when he saw the young captain rushing towards Xia Zuo again, Xia Zuo was already crumbling. Finally knowing what happened, they rushed over together.
This is a three-story wooden stilt building built on the bank of the Zhishui River. The water village is centered on it and spans the Zhishui River in a semicircle. This house is where the generals of Shuizhai rest. The generals are gathered in the hall next door.
Outside the door is a five-foot-wide wooden stack that hangs directly into the steaming water. You can usually get on the boat directly from here. There are soldiers patrolling the water village all around, so there is no need to worry about safety at all. But I didn't expect that something big would happen today.
The layer below the water village is almost entirely made of large tree trunks one foot thick, which are deeply inserted into the steaming water. Coupled with the support of some stone piers, the entire water village is connected together. Of course, these big tree trunks and stone piers support the two-story house above.
Xia Zuo lives in the largest room on the second floor. It is usually heavily guarded outside and it is impossible for ordinary people to get close. There had just been an attack two days ago. Although it was unsuccessful, many soldiers in the water village were killed.
After Zhang Wenbiao came back, he first sent hundreds of soldiers to Xia Zuo. Xia Zuo himself also ordered others to protect him first. So not only was he wearing armor, but he rarely went out of this house.
Xia Zuo thought that as long as he captured Hengzhou City, all these things would be solved, so he naturally had great confidence in Zhang Wenbiao. But what he didn't expect was that someone pretended to be Zhang Wenbiao's messenger, sneaked into his room, and boldly carried out an assassination.
The young captain was not interested in fighting. When he saw the tooth soldiers rushing in, he stepped hard and slammed into Xia Zuo like an accelerator. Xia Zuo, who was already seriously injured, was knocked away and directly hit the imitation wooden chair where he was sitting.
The wood was flying, but he didn't stop at all. He turned around halfway and rushed through the half-open bamboo window next to him.
The figure landed on the wooden plank outside, laughing as the tooth soldiers rushed into the house, and jumped from the wooden plank into the steaming water.
"General Xia was assassinated!"
The water village began to boil, and as soon as he finished speaking, a series of screams were heard.
Someone discovered that some men with short blades in their mouths and naked upper bodies were climbing up from the big tree trunk under the water village. The person rushing up was approaching quickly, and before anyone could figure it out, a stream of blood had already taken away a life.
Someone is attacking the camp!
Hengzhou Zhanshui Village was attacked!
