Late that night.
Zhang Yao put on his night clothes, quietly left the Xiyuan residence, and headed towards the westmost side door of the Sheriff's Mansion.
Along the way, he discovered several patrolling teams carrying torches. They were all capable guards and soldiers, headed by some worshippers and Wang family members.
Zhang Yao silently wrote down the patrol route and found that compared with the previous two months, there were great changes. The manpower was almost doubled, and many government soldiers from the city defense battalion were mobilized.
"The wind in the county governor's mansion is ringing, the outside is tight, and the inside is tight. It really responded to Zhao Donglai's intelligence."
With Zhang Yao's martial arts skills, he easily avoided the patrol team and arrived at the westernmost side of the Sheriff's Mansion without disturbing anyone.
He hid in the garden not far from the side door, hiding among the flowers and leaves, and waited quietly.
"Gugu..."
About two-quarters of an hour later, several short crow calls were heard.
Zhang Yao's eyes suddenly flashed, and he quickly climbed over the courtyard wall, and he saw Zhao Donglai a few feet away.
He was wearing a close-fitting black military uniform and carrying a thick-backed machete. He looked like a nocturnal tiger ready to attack.
"Nephew Zhang Xian, you are here!"
When Zhao Donglai saw Zhang Yao, he immediately looked happy and asked repeatedly: "How is the situation in the county governor's house?"
Zhang Yao briefly recounted the information he had gleaned, and finally said: "The Wang family's children, especially direct descendants and senior officials, all live in the inner house and I have no access to them."
"But judging from the layout of the outer residence, the defense is very tight. If you want to attack it in one go, it may not be easy."
The Sheriff's Mansion occupies a vast area, far wider than the ten Qingping Palaces.
This is Wang's old nest. It has been in business for many years and has strong defensive capabilities. If just a few top experts rush in, it will be easy to fall into the crowd tactics.
"Of course."
Zhao Donglai was well prepared and said with a solemn expression: "The Wang family has been on guard for a long time. It is impossible to launch a surprise attack. We can only attack fiercely and fight to the end."
"This time the four forces have joined forces. Apart from me and a few others, there are at least thirty Perfection warriors, and there are hundreds of people at the Dacheng level."
"Such a huge force is enough to defeat the three thousand soldiers of the city defense camp head-on. The Wang family alone will never be able to stop it!"
"As long as we rush into the back house and kill all the senior members of the royal family and their direct descendants, the situation will be decided!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yao nodded and asked, "Then we will proceed according to the original plan?"
More than a month ago, after a confidential discussion, the two formulated a plan for cooperation:
Zhao Donglai is responsible for dealing with other forces, while Zhang Yao is lurking in the dark, waiting for opportunities to act. If he comes off at the critical moment, he will definitely have miraculous effects.
The four top masters belonged to all four directions. Zhao Donglai obviously had scruples and was unwilling to let Zhang Yao be exposed from the beginning.
This is exactly what Zhang Yao wants. If Zhao Donglai's information is wrong and Grandmaster Wang is pretending to be dead to fish, then he will definitely be the fastest one hiding in secret.
"Well, the plan remains the same."
Zhao Donglai said: "I came to see you in advance this time just to inform you of our offensive route."
"At five o'clock, we will rush in from the main entrance of the Sheriff's Mansion, bypass Donghua Pavilion, and then..."
He described the offensive route in detail, and Zhang Yao naturally kept it in his heart.
It was obvious that Zhao Donglai or other forces had spies in the governor's mansion and had a high status, so they could lay out such a thorough plan.
Soon, Zhao Donglai finished relaying the information, and after a few more instructions, he hurriedly turned around and left, quickly disappearing into the night.
Zhang Yao withdrew his gaze, climbed over the courtyard wall and returned to the Sheriff's Mansion. He first returned along the original road, then bypassed the Xiyuan, and hid close to the inner house.
…………
Half an hour later.
"Boom!"
A loud roar suddenly erupted from the direction of the main entrance of the Sheriff's Mansion.
With the four extremely powerful men joining forces, the red-lacquered copper-nailed door, which was more than a foot tall and weighed several thousand kilograms, was shattered into pieces and fell heavily to the ground.
Outside the gate, the bodies of more than a dozen county guards had fallen to the ground, bleeding profusely.
"Come at me!"
"Kill! Kill all the Wang family's dog thieves!"
"Surge into the governor's house and chop Wang Dezai to death!"
Roaring and roaring, mixed with excitement and excitement, a large number of warriors wearing armor and holding weapons swarmed in.
The troubled times had lasted for so many years, and the ban on martial arts had long been in vain. The four major forces joined forces and produced more than a hundred pieces of fine armor, just like a small army of warriors.
At the front of the large group of warriors: Zhao Donglai led the way, and next to him was an old man with a clear face, holding a simple long sword.
There are two old men half a step behind. They are wearing similar-looking brocade clothes. One is rich and the other is thin. They are holding weapons in their hands. They are both full of evil spirits. They are the old men of the Chen and Li families.
At the level of a supreme master, cutting gold and cutting jade is just a piece of cake, and the effect of armor is not that great. On the contrary, it will hinder speed and flexibility.
It should be noted that when masters of the same level compete, the difference between them is life and death. Unless they actually go to the battlefield, no one will wear heavy armor anymore.
"Kill..."
Amidst the shouts of killing that shook the sky, the four most powerful men led hundreds of warriors and rushed to kill several patrols and some servants in the county guard's house. Their attacks were extremely ruthless and unstoppable.
But at the same time, the lights in the county governor's mansion were brightly lit, alarm bells were ringing rapidly everywhere, and guards, soldiers, worshipers, and martial artists from all over the place were gathering in a steady stream.
The Wang family had mobilized thousands of soldiers from the city defense camp alone. Under the command of a commander, they urgently assembled and built a defense line, preparing to block the attack based on the terrain.
After Zhao Donglai and others killed most of the outer house in one go, they finally ran into this copper wall.
"boom!"
The collision of the armies of both sides was like the violent collision of two giant waves.
In the first moment of the battle, swords clashed and bloody fighting occurred. Zhao Donglai suffered casualties for the first time here.
Many consummation warriors, Dacheng warriors, and many priests and martial artists of the Wang family were fighting hard and cooperating with the city defense soldiers to firmly block them.
The battle situation turned tense, and the two sides were grinding away at each other like a millstone. Someone fell every moment, but with an extremely powerful person sitting in charge, Zhao Donglai's side had an obvious advantage.
However, the three most powerful men of the Wang family have not yet shown up at this critical moment.
"Quickly leave! Don't be obsessed with fighting!"
"Go to the back house first and kill Wang Dezai!"
Zhao Donglai roared angrily and drove back the Wang family warrior on the opposite side with several swords, taking advantage of the situation to get out of the front line of the battle.
The chief minister of the Chamber of Commerce Yun Yi, as well as two extremely powerful men from the Chen family and the Li family, all made similar decisions unanimously.
With their strength, the warriors under their command can certainly penetrate the opposite defense line, but it will definitely take a lot of time.
Now is the time to race against time. Once the senior members of the Wang family and direct descendants are allowed to escape, find opportunities to gather allies and reinforcements, and make a comeback, they will fail to defeat the tiger and suffer the consequences instead.
"Whizzing!"……
After Zhao Donglai and others gathered together, they quickly found the weak point of the defense line without any hesitation and worked together to break through.
Even without armor to protect themselves, they were still rampant in small-scale battlefields, taking away lives one after another with the flash of swords. With their cooperation, they were like a group of tigers descending from the mountain, unstoppable.
"Boom!"
After breaking through the defense line, several people were afraid of an ambush, so they punched through the masonry wall without opening the door, broke through the smoke and dust, and entered the inner house.
After a few breaths, Zhang Yao's figure quietly appeared, he looked around and carefully sneaked into the inner house.
