As usual, the lights in Juheyuan were turned off very early.
But tonight the Xu family is using all the strength of the family to plan something, and Duanmuyu cannot stay out of it. When he enters the small courtyard, the light is still shining through the window paper.
Apparently, he hadn't slept either.
"Mu Jie, how's the situation going outside now?"
They didn't bring many people with them on this trip, especially after the deaths of Zhu Xiaochen and Tong Gaoge, Duanmuyu felt that he was stretched thin. Fortunately, the day before yesterday, Xie Tianyao had contacted the person in charge of the "clairvoyance" in Ruozhou. This morning, all the dead clairvoyants in the city had gathered. As soon as it got dark, they received new assignments and infiltrated everywhere. By this time, some messages had been sent back one after another.
"Back to the young master, everyone in the Xu family has sent out. An hour ago, Nintendo was killed in the county government office, and the military camp where he was stationed was also involved in a melee with the Shenshao camp. The second master of the Xu family led people to sneak attack the city gate. Unfortunately, we met Xia Chenghuan's men on the road, and the two groups were fighting at the moment. Mr. Xu led his men to rescue the generals who were imprisoned in the military camp, and when they attacked the residence of Xu Hanshan, the commander of Shenshao Camp, listen to us. When people come to report, the Shenshao camp will be unable to support itself. In addition, there is a group of troops with an unknown number who attacked the city gate two quarters of an hour ago." Mu Ju reported softly, "It is reported that the city gate has been captured by them. ”
The dead warriors with clairvoyance have already received the order, no matter what the battle situation is, they must be summoned every moment. Therefore, what Mu Ju said is almost the latest battle report.
Generally speaking, the situation is favorable and slightly better than expected.
Duan Muyu frowned slightly and said with a smile: "Xu Xiaoyu did things safely. It turns out that the main force attacking the city had other arrangements, and it was not the team led by Xu Xiaoshi. Haha... Not bad, interesting."
Earlier, Xu Xiaoyu came to Juheyuan to report his uprising plan. Among them, it was his second brother who planned to lead people to attack the city gate at night. Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaoshi was stopped in Xiaochun Lane, but the city gate was still captured. Obviously, the city capturer There is someone else.
It's not that Xu Xiaoyu deliberately concealed it, but the Xu family members who were scattered in the city were still being recalled at the time. He himself was not sure how many people he could gather before taking action. What he wanted at that time was to use this team as backup for the siege.
Unexpectedly, the news of the accident in the military camp spread so quickly. After hearing about it, all the disciples in the city spontaneously went to the gathering place. By the second hour, the number of people reported had exceeded 4,000, which was 1,000 more than the original number. More than five hundred. Unfortunately, Xu Xiaoshi, Xu Suyan and others encountered Gu Xiuping's large group of troops in Xiaochun Lane and were unable to advance. Xu Xiaoyu suddenly thought of it and asked Xu Xiaoyi to lead the more than 4,000 people to attack the city gate.
It was the middle of winter, the weather was dry and the wind was strong. Short arrows dipped in cloth and oil became the most terrifying weapon at night. In an instant, more than 10,000 rockets shot through the air. Nearly half of the defenders were killed or injured before they could take precautions. By the time they recovered, more than 4,000 warriors were already in front of them. It was logical that the city would be destroyed.
"What about Xu Mansion?" Duanmuyu asked again, "Are all those martial arts masters so honest?"
Ruozhou Alliance, Jianghu sects are almost all gathered here, and there are at least two thousand disciples of each sect living in the Xu Mansion. If they get into trouble, it will really not be easy to deal with them.
Mu Wei shook his head, smiled, and replied: "Haha, Mr. Xu is really a capable person!"
Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that there is a story here. Without waiting for Duan Muyu to ask, he continued: "It turns out that the Xu family has long been on guard against bad deeds of various sects, and all the guests have been poisoned in hidden places. These masters of the world have been deeply poisoned after living in the Xu Mansion for several days. During the dispute, , the disciples of the Xu family sprinkled a little rosin powder, which aroused the poisonous evil spirits in their bodies. It is said that many people have injured their lungs and meridians, and they were unable to move their internal energy within a few months."
It turned out that tonight, besides Lingyan Pavilion, many other sects also realized that something was wrong. Among them, Xiaojinshan and Nanbang actually took action against people from the Xu family. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu's disciples took out the medicinal powder they had prepared in advance and sprinkled it into the air. Jin Shenfeng, He Zan and others suddenly felt unbearable pain in their lungs. Only then did they realize that everyone on their side had been poisoned by a very severe chronic poison. , if you take action forcefully, you will definitely die.
People were restrained everywhere under the eaves, and everyone was sensible. Naturally, they went back to their rooms with anger, and the Xu Mansion finally calmed down.
The master's poisoning and assassination of the Hakkas was the most despicable scandal in the world. Xu Xiaoyu had prepared the worst for this move.
"Despite everything, leaving no way out." Duanmuyu murmured, "Mr. Xu's actions really put our generation to shame."
Regardless of success or failure, what the Xu family did today will surely spread throughout the world, the government and the public. Although Dahua has a vast territory, there is no place for it. What is this if it is not "all in, no way out"?
After this incident, Duanmuyu's respect for Xu Xiaoyu inevitably increased.
Mu Jie also stopped smiling and added seriously: "The old man's strong character is indeed rare in the world."
Looking at the pen and paper on the desk, Duanmuyu had no interest in writing anything. He simply pushed them aside gently, sat on the brocade seat and whispered to himself: "Wait a little longer, I hope there will be good news from the military camp." Come."
... ...
The general on night duty at the Shenshao Camp is called Feng Sanxi, who is Xu Hanshan's deputy general on Ruozhou's trip.
According to the prior agreement, the general and deputy generals stayed in different camps. He stayed in the military camp where he was stationed, while Xu Hanshan settled in a private garden more than four miles away. This was to avoid being captured by the enemy.
Sure enough, a fire suddenly broke out in Xu Hanshan's residence in the middle of the night, which was a warning that something was wrong. Feng Sanxi did not dare to delay, and immediately led more than 1,500 light cavalry to the rescue. Unfortunately, within three miles of leaving the camp, a group of soldiers were blocked in the street. There were traps in front and roadblocks in the back. Poison darts were fired at the group from time to time.
"Be on guard!" Seeing that more than ten people had fallen down in an instant, the messenger hurriedly shouted, "There is an enemy ambush!"
As soon as his voice fell, the group of people stopped and lined up on the spot to guard all directions. The strange thing is that once the formation of the Shenshao camp was completed, the poison darts stopped firing.
Feng Sanxi was burdened with heavy responsibilities and did not dare to fight the enemy for a long time. He looked around and ordered: "Enter!"
However, as soon as the men and horses in front took a step forward, dozens of prismatic darts struck from everywhere. In the blink of an eye, more than ten people fell to the ground and died instantly.
Seeing blood, his throat was sealed because the dart was tempered with a rare snake venom, which was the unique secret skill of Zhaixing Pavilion.
"Retreat! Go back to the camp!" Feng Sanxi hurriedly reined in his horse and turned around. He was not a fool. Since the enemy was ambushing here, they must have expected that he would come to the rescue. These people had obviously planned carefully, "Oh no, they attacked General Xu at night to lure me out. The target must be the military camp where he is stationed!" "At this moment, his mind finally came to his senses.
He was responsible for Xu Hanshan's death, but his crime did not lead to death.
If he loses the military camp where he is stationed, even if he has ten heads, it won't be enough to chop him off.
"Go back to the military camp quickly!" As soon as he finished speaking, the poisonous darts flying in all directions suddenly became denser, like a slanting rain hitting him.
In the darkness, An Wuyu stared closely at this place, his gaze as deep as a torch. He is not a murderous person, but what the An family is planning is destined to sacrifice many lives. "If you cannot sacrifice the lives of the An family, then it can only be the lives of the enemy." An Wuyu had no choice but to persuade himself.
After a while, there was no sound in the street.
"Let's go to Xiaochun Lane!"
Without reinforcements, Xu Hanshan's people would never be able to stop Xu Sugong and his party. Just now, the spies from Zhaixing Pavilion had come to report that Xu Xiaoshi's men encountered a large group of enemy troops in Xiaochun Lane. The two sides had been fighting fiercely for more than half an hour, and they were invincible. In comparison, Xiaochun Lane is much more urgent.
"Xu Er, hold on!"
... ...
In terms of fighting alone, these big soldiers are far from Xu Xiaoshi's opponents, but at this moment it is a melee, and his opponents are killing them endlessly. At the beginning, they can rely on their profound internal strength to support them.
What's more, although these generals are not as good as me in martial arts, they are all brave and not afraid of death. It is really not easy to deal with them.
"I often hear that the imperial court is in chaos, military discipline is loose, and the military strength of Dahua has been greatly reduced. However, this team of troops in front of me is very tyrannical. Look at their morale. How can they be slack?" Xu Xiaoshi became more and more frightened, and his thoughts became heavier and heavier. .
The leader was like this, not to mention the others. More than 70% of the Xu family's two teams were dead or injured, and the rest were forced into a corner and struggling. If Gu Xiuping hadn't kept his feather arrows to deal with Duan Muyu, these People will definitely not survive now.
While he was thinking about it, he heard a report from his subordinates: "General, the city gate... is lost."
"What!" Gu Xiuping's eyes widened and he was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.
