Liu Hu led his guards and rushed outside with a big knife in hand.
There were dozens of guards protecting Liu Hu, while the others went to lead the horses.
As the county guard's escort, they could mount and dismount to fight, and they also had dozens of horses, but they were all tied up in the backyard.
On the opposite roof outside the Sheriff's Mansion, Qiu Ying and other members of the Shadow Guard were lying down here, all holding concealed weapons and crossbows, waiting in full formation.
This place used to be guarded by Liu Jia's people. They couldn't get close at all. Every time they came, they had to start a bloody battle with Liu Jia's people.
Now that Liu Jia has run away, her people are naturally no longer here, and the Shadow Guards can come and go at will.
Listening to the commotion inside the Sheriff's Mansion, a shadow guard whispered to Qiu Ying,
"Vice Commander, Liu Hu is trying to escape. What should we do?"
Qiuying thought for a while and said,
"There are too many people on the other side, and our cavalry hasn't come yet, so we can't capture Liu Hu alive.
If there are only a dozen of us trying to stop hundreds of people on the other side, it will be like a mantis trying to block the car. It will only increase casualties and sacrifice in vain to keep him.
Inform the brothers that all hidden weapons and crossbow arrows are aimed at Liu Hu's head. Even if one of them can hit him, it can kill him. Do you understand? "
"But, why don't we capture Liu Hu alive and let the lord do it himself?"
"There is no chance. The cavalry has come too far and is still killing the defenders. Compared with not letting the lord kill Liu Hu with his own hands, we have a greater responsibility to let Liu Hu go.
I have the power to make decisions on the spot, not to mention that the Lord also said that I should kill Liu Hu personally to take revenge. "
"I understand, we all listen to you."
"Okay, follow my orders later."
…
The governor's house, Dongyuan.
A total of two hundred soldiers gathered in a small courtyard, and they were surrounded by water. Inside the room were a young man and four beautiful women.
In front of him, there was a man with a sword and armor, and he said quickly,
"Your Highness, Sixth Highness, listen to the sound, it is King Pingxi's army that has entered the city."
Hearing this, the Sixth Prince walked around the room, frowning and thinking quickly.
He was also feeling miserable.
During his travels around the world, he had been to all the territories of the four kings. Although he had encountered battles, they were never as dangerous as this time. When other soldiers saw him, they would let him pass first.
Unexpectedly, at the last stop in Weihu County, we would encounter a siege.
He was worried that his life was in danger. After all, the people facing him this time were bandits instead of kings. He didn't even know if King Pingxi was coming.
"Where is Liu Hu? Where is the county guard?"
The sixth prince asked.
"Liu Hu is gathering the guards and preparing to escape. Your Highness, Sixth Prince, let's run with them, otherwise the rebels will come in indiscriminately."
Hearing this, the Sixth Prince was silent for a moment, slowly shook his head and said,
"No, when the enemy troops enter the city, Liu Hu is an important target. They will definitely rush to kill Liu Hu first. If we follow him, we will definitely be attacked by the rebel army and accidentally killed. Who can do this in the middle of the night? Who can see clearly?
It doesn't matter if Liu Hu escapes, he has attracted the enemy's attention, and our side will be safe. "
"But the enemy troops will definitely enter the city lord's palace. What if they come to kill us then?"
"It's okay, don't be afraid. I am the prince. If they kill me, it will not be good for them, but it will be bad for their reputation.
Neither King Andong nor King Pingxi has any reason to kill me. You just need to guard the courtyard. If someone wants to attack, just say this is the prince's place and say I want to see King Pingxi. The soldiers dare not do so without permission. Action. "
"Okay, I will obey."
The commander held his hands, turned around and walked out.
…
Liu Hu ran in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to put on the armor, because putting on armor is an extremely cumbersome task. Even if someone helps, it will take at least a quarter of an hour to put it on, and Liu Hu doesn't have this time.
Outside the Sheriff's Mansion, the war horses had been brought over. After Liu Hu was notified, he immediately ran towards the outside of the Sheriff's Mansion with his guards.
There were several lanterns hung above the door of the Sheriff's Mansion. The lights were bright, illuminating the road in front of the door and also illuminating Liu Hu's face.
Looking at the horses prepared outside and the faint shouts of killing coming from the distance, Liu Hu felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, it's not too late.
Just as the joy appeared on his face, Liu Hu suddenly saw dozens of crossbow arrows and darts from above diagonally not far away, coming towards him to greet him.
When Liu Hu saw it, those weapons were already in front of him.
He is a general who has been fighting all year round, and he is naturally very skilled. He can suppress the great leader Weng Huan in a single fight. He can also dodge the enemy's bows, arrows and hidden weapons.
But the prerequisite for dodging is to predict the location of the enemy's shot based on the opponent's action and dodge.
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
He didn't see where the enemy was at all, nor did he see the enemy's hand movements. The weapon was already in front of him.
The most important thing is that everything in front of and around him is within striking range.
The repeating crossbow fired extremely fast. Dozens of crossbow arrows and more than a dozen hidden weapons flew in at once, blocking all his dodge directions.
Liu Hu's eyes widened, and only one thought appeared in his mind.
It's over.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of arrows entering his body. Five arrows were inserted into Liu Hu's face, and there were more than a dozen in his chest. There were also many throwing knives and darts, all of which were quenched with poison.
Under such an attack, even the gods could not save him.
"grown ups!"
"My lord has been assassinated! Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"
Seeing that Liu Hu was shot like a hedgehog in the blink of an eye, Liu Hu's guards were furious. They picked up their bows and arrows and shot towards the opposite roof.
"withdraw!"
Qiuying gave a soft drink, and the people with the Shadow Guard turned around and fled.
Let the army kill these guards. There is no need for the Shadow Guards to confront these people head-on. Firstly, the Shadow Guards are best at assassinating and sneak attacks, and are not good at confronting the enemy head-on. Secondly, it is because to train a qualified Shadow Guard, The cost of investment is too great, far more than that of an ordinary soldier.
Letting the Shadow Guard die on such an occasion would be the greatest waste.
Soon, the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. A group of cavalry appeared at the intersection of the street, turned the corner and came to kill them.
Seeing that there were still enemy troops here, the cavalry immediately picked up their repeating crossbows and began to charge.
Hundreds of cavalrymen killed all these guards almost in one go.
The leader of the cavalry was Lin Guang. He held a steel gun and picked off several enemies one after another before stopping.
Lin Guang rode his horse to the gate of the county governor's house and said to the soldiers behind him,
"Everyone, after we capture the county town, the lord will be the county guard. This county guard's house will be the lord's home from now on. After entering, everyone will be controlled. They are not allowed to plunder property, and are not allowed to trample on vegetation or destroy things. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Lin Guang got off his horse, held the horse and was about to walk in. Suddenly, a dozen black shadows fell from the roof and came to the front of the cavalry.
