Chapter 431 Attack
Winter night.
The north wind is howling.
A bit scary.
A black shadow was moving outside the window, scaring the old maids in charge of washing and sweeping so much that they rolled their eyes.
The man in black originally planned to lie in ambush and take action when it was late at night and everyone was asleep.
Then suddenly a stupid guard jumped out and rushed towards them with a knife in hand.
He was still shouting: Come quickly, there is an assassin...
He has a loud voice.
For a moment, it alarmed everyone in the mansion and all the dogs in Cangzhou City.
The barking of dogs was deafening.
This is nothing. The people in the general's mansion now are not enough to fill their teeth.
However, this man was quite skilled and was able to escape from them.
After a while, two more women came out.
As soon as the woman came out, she jumped onto the roof and stood there shouting: "The Northern Barbarians attacked the General's Mansion at night. If anyone is captured, the reward will be fifty taels of silver and ten bushels of millet..."
The two women's voices were even louder, like loudspeakers.
He was also banging the gong, shouting as he did so.
After a while, the people of Cangzhou were woken up by them. In the middle of the night, they all put on some clothes and ran out to see what was happening.
Spread the word.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
For a moment, the people in Cangzhou City were in an uproar.
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward.
As soon as the Northern Barbarians were mentioned, no one could sleep anymore and they broke out in cold sweats.
"What's going on? Are the Northern Barbarians coming to kill us?"
"The Northern Barbarians attacked the General's Mansion at night and tried to assassinate our General."
"What?"
"Hurry back and get your weapons. The General's Mansion said there's a reward of fifty taels of silver and ten bushels of millet for every person they capture."
Everyone hesitated for a moment, then looked at the crowds of people filling the streets, and all their worries were dispelled.
If they faced the Northern Barbarian army, they would be like an egg hitting a rock.
But these were just a few thieves who climbed over the wall into the mansion. No matter how fierce they were, they could not withstand the large number of people.
I think the garrison outside the city will come to rescue soon.
"Hurry, go back and get your weapons. I want to kill those bandits..."
A strong woman rushed towards the general's mansion with a kitchen knife without saying a word.
Everyone recognized the woman.
It was Aunt Wang who slaughtered fish at the street corner. She became a widow at a young age. Her husband and two sons were all killed by the northern barbarians.
There are many people like her.
The people of Daliang hated the northern barbarians to the core and wished they could eat their flesh and drink their blood.
Besides, there is silver and corn to be taken, so what are you waiting for?
They came out in droves.
If we don't capture the northern barbarians and spies and tear them into pieces, we will be doing an injustice to our dead relatives.
The people took up knives, bows and arrows, harpoons, axes...
In short, they picked up all the weapons they could get their hands on and rushed towards the general's mansion.
There are three layers inside and three layers outside, and not even a fly will be allowed to fly out of Cangzhou City.
When Yu Qi heard the noise outside and came out to take a look, he was dumbfounded.
This is like catching a turtle in a jar.
No matter how powerful the killer is, he cannot withstand the raging anger of all the people in Cangzhou.
Madam Lu’s move was amazing.
I thought she was fighting alone, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she mobilized all the people.
She is indeed the daughter of a general.
Seeing that Madam Lu was safe and sound, Yu Qi felt relieved and took Mu Yunji to escape in the chaos.
Xiuxiu had never seen such a scene before and was a little worried: "Sister, the people are unarmed. Can they really defeat these northern barbarians? Will they die in vain?"
She had just fought with the man in black.
It is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary northern barbarians. They are trained killers and death warriors.
If the common people face them, they will be injured if not killed.
However, she seemed to be wrong.
These people are not completely without any skills. Most of them, men and women, have some martial arts skills.
The key is that there are many people.
They swarmed towards the man in black like a swarm of ants.
Faced with the sheer numbers, even the death warriors were frightened, losing their composure and waving their swords wildly.
They held the knives tightly in their hands, looking at each other.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
Didn’t they say that all the people in the General’s Mansion had been transferred away, leaving only women and the wounded?
What happened to the people and dogs that suddenly broke in?
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked as if they wanted to pull out the tendons and skin the people of Daliang, who were originally as weak as chickens.
But at this moment, he was showing his fangs and claws, looking extremely ferocious.
The assassins were ordered to assassinate Mu Yunji, the Duke of Shen of Daliang, and seize the military command from him.
Mu Yunji is the god of war of Daliang and also their most hated enemy.
Countless of their outstanding generals were killed.
If they can kill Mu Yunji with their sword today, they will be heroes of Beiyi, their families will be rewarded by the King of Beiyi, and they will be respected by the entire Beiyi.
Without the Lu and Mu families, it would be easy to take over Daliang.
The dynasty in Daliang will change, and the Northern Barbarians will get Cangzhou and any city they want, as well as countless food and beauties.
But at this moment, looking at the crowd of Daliang people in the yard holding torches and various weapons.
There was not even a trace of Mu Yunji.
They were a little panicked.
Fight your way out?
There has never been a case of a suicide squad running away without even seeing the target of their mission.
They memorized Mu Yunji's portrait.
But they didn't see this man from beginning to end tonight. It seemed that he had escaped, or he seemed to be fighting with them in the crowd.
And there was the woman standing on the roof. Everyone in the general's mansion seemed to obey her orders, and the people respected her.
Who is she?
Could she be Mu Yunji’s woman?
Since that’s the case, if I can’t kill Mu Yunji, then I’ll just capture his woman.
It’s not like there’s no gain…
The leading northern barbarian gave orders and talked a lot to his subordinates.
Then everyone changed their offensive strategy and directed their attacks at Lu Qingyao.
"Sister, what are they chattering about?" Xiuxiu was already rubbing her hands together, ready to take action.
Now, under the light of the fire, she could see clearly that there were at least forty or fifty people in this group of men in black.
Not only the northern barbarians, but also the Daliang people.
"They want to capture me alive." Lu Qingyao could understand a few words.
She also understood that the Beiyi killer mistook her for Mu Yunji's person and wanted to capture her to threaten Mu Yunji.
"They dare..." Xiuxiu rushed out first.
Lu Qingyao warned: "Don't fight to the death, remove their swords... Leave the rest to the civilians, and end the battle quickly."
As soon as the words fell.
The remaining guards also rushed over and started fighting with them.
Xiuxiu drew out the long whip in her hand and waved it, cooperating with the guards to try to remove the sword from the man in black.
It sounds simple, but it is not that easy to implement in practice. This group of people are not ordinary people.
Every move is ruthless and brutal.
Seeing how fierce the fight was, the common people did not dare to step forward. Only when they saw the defeated man in black did they rush forward to finish him off.
For Lu Qingyao, this is enough.
The thing that the people of Daliang are inferior to the northern barbarians is that they lack strength and endurance, but the common people just make up for this.
The assassins thought the two women were easy to deal with.
I didn't expect that they were the strongest.
One of them flew onto the roof with a long whip in her hand. She used the whip to perfection, moving like a dragon or snake.
Anyone who tried to escape would be knocked down by her whip, or shot with an arrow from her crossbow.
If anyone is not careful, the sword in his hand will be swept away by her whip.
Then the people rushed forward to finish off the enemy.
Crazy last-hitting.
They were either stabbed to death or hacked to death, and before they died they were slapped, punched, kicked, and beaten.
There are too many people.
They didn't even have the slightest chance to fight back.
Die in humiliation and die with eyes open.
The remaining men in black no longer dared to underestimate the enemy, and all their main forces concentrated on attacking Lu Qingyao.
If she only looks ahead, she cannot look behind; if she only looks left, she cannot look right. She also doesn't want the people to get hurt.
There were still several cuts on his shoulders and back.
"You bastard, how dare you hurt my sister." Seeing that her sister was attacked from both sides, Xiuxiu quickly flew down.
Drawing the dagger from their waists, the two men stood back to back.
You defend and I attack, or you attack and I defend.
Lu Qingyao originally wanted to leave some of them alive, but now she no longer left any room for them. One after another, she slashed the enemy's throat with her sword and stabbed it into their chest.
Xiuxiu is even more ruthless. She didn't originally learn self-defense, but fighting and killing.
No one survived her knife.
They kill, they stab.
The common people attacked with the sword, attacked fiercely, stabbed with harpoons, chopped with axes, and stabbed with bundles...
Even the fishmongers at the market came with knives in hand, brandishing them and cursing with gnashing teeth: "I'll let you steal my food, I'll let you kill my husband and my son, I'll let you destroy my home..."
He was instantly mad with killing intent.
It seemed that at this moment, they felt that they had killed their enemies with their own hands.
Revenge for my family.
