Chapter 591: Speed is of the essence in war
"Master, something bad has happened!"
…
Zhang Rui stopped in front of King Heng. He was out of breath from running and didn't care to rest. He said intermittently:
"Something…something happened in the city…"
King Heng on the side impatiently asked him to move aside and tell him to talk later if there was anything, as he wanted to catch Xu Wuyan now.
If I don't chase him, he will run away again.
If we let him escape this time, it would be difficult to lure him out again.
hateful.
Why is Xu Wuyan so difficult to deal with? He is indeed the number one person in the capital.
Zhang Rui was anxious and quickly caught up with King Heng who was about to leave, shouting:
"Master, there's something wrong in the prison.
Just as you were climbing the city wall, a group of people raided the prison and rescued Xu Hai."
Zhang Rui didn't care whether he wanted to listen or not, and told him everything in one go.
If I don't say it now, I won't have to say it later.
Just bear his wrath directly.
Prince Heng stopped, turned around and stared at Zhang Rui with a ferocious look:
"What did you say?
Imprisoned in the prison, the already crippled Xu Hai was rescued?"
Seeing Zhang Rui nod, King Heng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He finally understood why Xu Wuyan suddenly ran away just now.
Since he received the news that people were rescued, why would he stay here if he didn't run away?
“Ahhhh!”
King Heng roared angrily:
“Trash, they are all a bunch of trash and no one can take care of them.
Check, check for me, who leaked the information."
My plan was flawless, why did it go wrong?
If Xu Wuyan didn't know that the person in the wooden cage was fake, even if he didn't agree to it, he would risk his life to save the fake Xu Hai in the wooden cage.
And this was the second trap I had prepared for him.
The fake Xu Hai would stab Xu Wuyan directly when he reached out to help him.
In this way, the seriously injured Xu Wuyan would definitely not be able to run far, and he would eventually fall into his hands.
But now all my good plans have been ruined.
Now he has become a clown in Xu Wuyan's eyes, which makes him very angry.
Zhang Rui and others didn't dare to speak as this matter was difficult to investigate.
Seeing that they were silent, Prince Heng's already aching chest became even more painful.
Taking a deep breath, King Heng calmed himself down.
Now that he no longer had Xu Hai as a hostage, he couldn't let him leave at this time, so he sent his men down to chase him without hesitation.
At this moment, a shrill scream came from the direction Xu Wuyan left.
King Heng's expression changed again, and he raised his foot towards the city wall in front of him.
Soon, he saw his men returning in a panic under the city wall.
Of the more than 20 people who had originally chased out, only a few have returned, and those who returned were all injured.
"Master, they have set a trap now, and all our brothers have fallen into it." The man who was least injured said with his head raised.
Upon hearing this, Prince Heng almost fainted.
These rubbish!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Chase him, everyone, chase him, and make sure you catch him."
Zhang Rui and others did not dare to delay any longer and immediately turned around and went down the city wall to chase after them.
But at this time, Xu Wuyan and others had already run far away, so how could they possibly catch up?
…
And on Xu Wuyan's side.
After killing a group of King Heng's men with a trap, he decisively led his men to retreat.
When they arrived at the agreed meeting place, Xu Yan was already waiting there in a carriage, and the people guarding nearby were from Baixin Pavilion.
Xu Yan's face didn't look very good.
He got down from the carriage and said with a sullen face, "Master, Xu Hai's condition is not good. He is not only unconscious but also has a high fever.
In addition, his limbs were broken, and the doctor said that even if his hands and feet were healed, there would be sequelae."
Xu Wuyan didn't say anything, but walked forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
At this time, under the oil lamp in the carriage, an elderly doctor was nervously bandaging and fixing Xu Hai's limbs.
Xu Wuyan pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice:
"Did you give him the medicine I gave you?"
He guessed that Xu Hai would suffer, but he didn't expect them to be so cruel.
"Hello." Xu Yan nodded.
Looking at Xu Hai inside, Xu Yan turned his eyes away. He couldn't bear to watch:
"But the doctor can't guarantee whether his life can be saved. If it's delayed for too long."
Xu Wuyan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
After thinking for a while, he spoke:
"Xu Yan, take your men to escort Xu Hai to a safe place to recuperate. Once his injuries are stable and he's out of danger, immediately take him back to Yuancheng to find the young lady.
The young lady might have a way to heal Xu Hai's limbs. Remember, you must save Xu Hai's life at all costs."
Xu Yan nodded seriously, "Okay, but what about you, Master?"
"Me?" Xu Wuyan grinned:
"I left a few days later than you did. He gave us such a big gift, so it's not unreasonable to come. This time, it's my turn to meet them."
I will return the gift given by King Heng.
He is not the kind of person who would swallow his broken teeth.
After seeing off Xu Yan and others, Xu Wuyan looked towards the direction of Corning City.
There was a terrifying depth in his eyes.
Prince Heng, you shouldn't have provoked me.
He looked at Qian Kun of Baixin Pavilion with a cold face, "How much information do you have about Prince Heng?"
Qian Kun didn't say anything. He glanced at him, then took out a small booklet from his pocket and handed it over respectfully:
"Xu Shizi, everything you want is here."
The Pavilion Master has instructed that we should give Prince Xu whatever he wants and cooperate fully.
Xu Wuyan reached out and took it, and in the light of the torch, he slowly flipped through the booklet in his hand.
It seems that King Heng is really hiding very deeply.
Baixin Pavilion, which is so good at getting information, actually doesn't have much information about him.
When they put it together, Xu Wuyan sneered:
"Walk!"
…
At the same time, in Dujiazhuang.
At this time, Zhang Feng had already brought his men to the vicinity of Dujiazhuang.
Looking at his subordinates with tired faces, Zhang Feng had no intention of resting.
Speed is the essence of war!
Now that we have arrived, we should naturally attack directly without giving the other party time to prepare.
If we attack now, we will definitely catch the enemy off guard, and this way, the casualties on our side will be much less.
Besides, it was late at night, and the people in Dujiazhuang probably didn't expect that they would attack them at night without even taking a rest.
Zhang Feng turned his head to look at everyone and lowered his voice:
"Hold on, everyone. Cheer up, and we'll have a good rest after we're done.
While the people of Dujiazhuang haven't fully recovered yet, we should take them down in one fell swoop."
After saying that, he looked towards the gate in front.
Then he called over the four most skilled men, asked them to sneak over first, climb over the wall and take care of the gatekeeper, and then open the door for them to come in.
After receiving the order, the four of them immediately used the Flying Tiger Claw to climb up the high wall.
Then there were a few muffled groans, and soon the door was opened.
Someone waved at them in the darkness, signaling them to come quickly.
Zhang Feng nodded and immediately waved for someone to follow.
Just as they rushed in, the door was suddenly closed.
Zhang Feng was shocked, and before he could react, a huge fishing net came down on them.
Just as they were struggling in panic, several torches with foul-smelling smoke were thrown at them from all directions.
The people who were hit by the torches let out painful howls.
The chaotic scene made Zhang Feng's face look ugly.
Close the door and beat the dog.
Now it's no different from beating a dog behind closed doors.
They fell into each other's trap.
The people in Dujiazhuang knew they were coming, so they prepared a trap early and waited for them to fall into it.
"Calm down, don't move, and follow my instructions." Zhang Feng shouted loudly.
But in the panic, everyone was only thinking about escaping from the predicament, and no one paid attention to what he said. They were all struggling hard.
But the more he struggled, the tighter the net became, and the louder his wailing became.
Those who were not covered by the net immediately raised their knives and slashed at the Du family members after they reacted.
The Du family, who had been holding back their anger for a long time, naturally would not let these fish that had escaped the net go, and they went straight to meet them.
The two sides started fighting.
Zhang Feng struggled for a long time and finally got out of the net, but as soon as he got out...
Plop, plop!
The people on Zhang Feng's side fell to the ground one after another.
Zhang Feng's face turned pale. He shook his head, which was becoming increasingly dizzy. "Quick...quickly, cover your nose and mouth. Those torches...are drugged!"
But it was too late.
At this time, all his men had reached the bottom, and he himself could no longer hold on and fell headfirst to the ground.
In the middle of winter, Zhang Feng was sweating profusely. He stared at the Du family angrily:
"Despicable...drugging!"
These words successfully made everyone in the Du family laugh.
It's not despicable if they attack us at night, but it is despicable if they fight back.
Looking at Zhang Feng who was almost fainting, everyone in Dujiazhuang showed contempt on their faces.
Du Hengbai walked out of the darkness and stopped in front of Zhang Feng:
"Being too arrogant will bring retribution, just like you are now.
It's a pity that you didn't have the chance to go back and tell your good master to be less arrogant and presumptuous."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Zhang Feng to speak and spoke directly:
"Kill them all, leaving no one behind."
"yes!"
When the Du family heard the order, they immediately rushed forward excitedly and started fighting.
“Ahhhh!”
Soon screams were heard all around.
In the cold night sky, the smell of blood was so strong that it made people want to vomit.
Du Heng watched the scene without changing his expression.
If they had not received the news in advance, the people who would have died now would probably be members of the Du family.
So, he won't be soft-hearted.
If they dare to attack Dujiazhuang, they must be prepared to be killed in return!
