"who?!"
Yang Zhen looked solemn and tightened his grip on the saber at his waist.
"Captain Yang, it's me!"
Wang Yan's voice came from outside.
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the county soldiers on the side.
The county soldiers opened the courtyard door a crack, and Wang Yan stepped in and saluted Yang Zhen.
"I've met Captain Yang."
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said in a deep voice,
"Is that person here?"
"Reporting to Captain Yang, King You has just arrived."
"How many people did he have with him?"
"There are more than thirty guards in total, but I placed them all in the side courtyard. Only three or four of them stayed with him."
Hearing this, Yang Zhen showed a hint of joy and said to the ranger and Hu Ren beside him,
"When we take action later, this captain will lead the county soldiers to stop the palace guards."
"You go to assassinate King You, and you must succeed!"
Everyone nodded.
"Captain Yang, please take the first step to avoid suspicion from Prince You."
Wang Yan said softly.
"That's fine, Master Wang, please help yourself!"
Yang Zhen smiled.
After Wang Yan left, the smile on his face quickly disappeared and he said coldly,
"Except for our people, everyone else present will be killed without mercy. No one will be left alive!"
"Here!"
Everyone responded in unison.
After another cup of tea, listening to the lively sounds coming from the lobby, Yang Zhen guessed that it was almost time, so he shouted in a low voice,
"Do it!"
Following his order, the courtyard door was opened.
Yang Zhen took the lead and rushed out.
Immediately behind him were the rangers and barbarians, and finally the county soldiers!
After a while, they arrived outside the courtyard where the lobby is located.
As long as you go through the front aisle, you can see Ji Lie and others.
The sounds of people urging people to drink, talking and laughing inside can be heard very clearly!
Although he has led troops for more than ten years and participated in many battles, Yang Zhen still felt a little nervous.
After all, they were attacking the Daxia vassal king, but they were going to lose their heads!
He licked his lips, and just when he was about to give the order to rush over, something happened suddenly!
On the roofs on both sides of the corridor, several soldiers holding powerful bows suddenly appeared.
Before Yang Zhen and others could react, arrows fell like raindrops.
The county soldiers were all wearing leather armor, and the distance was so close, four or five county soldiers were shot to death on the spot!
Those county soldiers who had been shot through their bodies but were not yet dead could not help but scream!
Fortunately, as a captain, Yang Zhen wore armor.
When the arrows hit him, he instinctively blocked his head, thus avoiding being shot to death on the spot!
Looking at the tragic death of his men around him, Yang Zhen's heart sank!
No, I fell into a trap!
Although he didn't know which link was wrong, Yang Zhen knew clearly that in this situation, the only way to survive was to rush in and kill Ji Lie!
He gritted his teeth and roared,
"rush!"
Braving the rain of arrows above their heads, Yang Zhen and his party rushed through the aisle and entered the lobby!
A group of guests were drinking and having fun. When they suddenly saw Yang Zhen and others wearing strong armor, they were all dumbfounded on the spot.
Accompanying Ji Lie in the high hall were Zhao Meiniang, Wang Yan, Li Rong and others.
He squinted, looked at Yang Zhen, and sneered,
"What does Captain Yang mean by this move?"
"King You is foolish and unprincipled. Today, on the orders of the Prime Minister, I am here to capture you!"
Yang Zhen smiled ferociously and said,
"Fuck me!"
The county soldiers did not hesitate, waving their weapons and pounced on everyone present!
The guests suddenly panicked and backed away desperately.
"No need to panic!"
When Ji Lie finished speaking, he saw countless guards pouring out from behind him like a tide.
The guards stood in front of the guests and blocked the way of the county soldiers!
"hiss……"
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and looked at Wang Yan and Li Rong angrily.
"You two bastards, how dare you betray me!"
If Wang Yan and Li Rong hadn't betrayed each other, how could there be so many guards lurking in the Wang family?
Wang Yan and Li Rong turned their heads away unnaturally, not daring to look at Yang Zhen.
Ji Lie, on the other hand, smiled and said, stroking his palms.
"What Lieutenant Yang said is wrong. This is a war that never tires of deceit! If you give up resistance now and leave your life alone, it is not impossible."
"You want me to surrender, daydreaming!"
Although Ji Lie had already ambushed him, Yang Zhen still had the advantage in strength.
Moreover, Yu Jing is still waiting outside. Soon, he will lead the remaining county soldiers to support him!
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen's heart trembled and he said sternly,
"Brothers, if you can kill King You, I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver!"
Upon hearing such a generous reward, the eyes of all the county soldiers turned red!
They all knew that murdering the prince was a capital crime punishable by execution!
Instead of just surrendering, it’s better to give it a try!
"kill!"
The county soldiers raised their weapons and rushed towards the guards with all their strength!
Facing the county soldiers who were fighting like trapped beasts, the guards who had experienced fighting with Black Mountain were quite calm!
In the not-so-large courtyard, they built a simple but solid defense line.
When the county soldiers attacked, the guards all rushed out with their spears!
Even if the opponent's weapon stabs them, they will endure the pain and never take a step back!
Yang Zhen couldn't help but take a breath after witnessing all this!
After knowing that the Black Mountain bandits had been wiped out, Yang Zhen expected that the guards would be powerful.
But he never expected that he would be so strong!
Both sides had almost the same armor, but with strict training, the guards completely overpowered the county soldiers in fighting!
In less than a cup of tea, the county soldiers were dead and wounded!
On the other hand, among the guards, only a dozen people were injured and no one died!
How could Yang Zhen not be shocked by such a disparity in strength?
"Why are you still standing there?"
Yang Zhen couldn't help but scolded the rangers and barbarians on the side.
At his urging, the rangers called by Gongsun He immediately rushed forward, waving their weapons.
These rangers are different from the county soldiers. They are strong and strong and do not like to fight with the guards.
Instead, he found an opening and jumped out from among the guards, pointing his sword directly at Ji Lie.
"Foolish Prince, please die quickly!"
"court death!"
A bloodthirsty expression appeared on Zhang Changde's face, and with a "swish" sound, the horizontal sword at his waist was already unsheathed!
"Qiang!"
A ranger rushed at the front, and his long sword collided with the horizontal knife.
Only a few sparks flew out, and the next moment, Heng Dao easily cut the long sword into two pieces!
For rangers, weapons are their lives.
Therefore, their weapons were built at a huge cost.
But no one expected that Zhang Changde would cut off their weapons easily!
Before the ranger could react, Zhang Changde's sword had already been swung over!
"Crack!"
Along with a bunch of blood spurting out, a human head rolled to the ground!
After killing one person, Zhang Changde was not satisfied. He waved his horizontal sword and pounced on several other rangers again.
