The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 935 Assassins Attack the City
By the time the soldiers brought the wine and food, everyone in the hall was already discussing how to break through the Jiangling Mansion.

Jiangling Mansion was the barrier to the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty. If the Yuan army wanted to go straight to the south of the Yangtze River, they could only capture Jiangling Mansion.It is unrealistic to try to bypass it.

Not to mention anything else, if Su Quandang's army is not destroyed, their food and grass will be unsustainable.

The Song army is not easy to deal with. They really want them to bypass Jiangling Mansion and approach Jiangnan.As long as the city guards transfer the food, these Yuan troops will starve to death.

And an army that can't even fill its stomach, no matter how elite it is, it is impossible to exert much combat effectiveness.

In the evening of this day, dozens of people from Changlin County left the city on horseback.

These dozens of people are all masters of the rivers and lakes.Some were brought by Yeluzhu, while others were enshrined in Lu Wenhuan's army.

Over the years, the Yuan Dynasty expanded its territories and recruited quite a few minions.

Huang Liangce, the big eagle claw, leads the team personally, but he is not the only one who is a real martial artist.

Not far from the city, these dozens of people divided into two groups, heading towards Dangyang County and Jiangling Mansion respectively.

At this time, Liu Zaiyuan in Dangyang County and Su Quandang in Jiangling Mansion and others had not heard any news, so they did not know that the crisis was quietly approaching.

They all received the good news on Kuizhou Road, and it was time for them to be happy.

As long as Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun lead the army to the Jiangling battlefield, they can take the initiative.

There are four forbidden armies of Tiangang, Tianxiong, Tianli, and Tianjie, and Wenqi's Changde Mansion garrison, even if they confront the Yuan army head-on, they are sure to win.

Although Su Quandang and others also expected that the Yuan army might launch an attack at this time, they did not think deeply about the assassination.

Because this is not easy.

Not to mention Su Quandang and the others in Jiangling Mansion, or Liu Zaiyuan in Dangyang County, why isn't it surrounded by experts from Wu Ding Tang?
Night fell.

The night wind is rustling, and there is a crescent moon.

Dozens of riders are getting closer and closer to Dangyang County and Jiangling Mansion.

In this day and age, on nights like this, the wild is truly quiet.Looking up, there are very few lights to be seen.

More than [-] riders heading for Dangyang County marched along the official road, and finally saw the torches at the top of the city when they approached Dangyang County.

There are quite a few of these torches, and it can be seen that the Tianli Army is heavily defended.

Twenty or so riders, all dressed in black robes, reined in their horses when they were still a thousand meters away from the city.Then he touched the city wall of Dangyang County.

The light from the torch could not illuminate too far outside the city.

In the night, these people were just like ghosts, quietly approaching the city wall of Dangyang County.

When they were only tens of meters away from the city, they all crawled to the ground.With the cover of wild grass and woods, no one can find it at all.

When they got closer, these people no longer approached, but lurked separately, observing the movement of the Song army at the top of the city.

There is no watertight defense in this world, especially for these masters.

The night was getting darker.

There are almost no lights on the streets in Dangyang County.

Only the watchman was walking on the street with a small oil lamp, shouting, "The sky is dry, so be careful with the candles."

If viewed from the top of the city, these watchmen seem to be souls wandering in the night.

Even in the government office in the city, everything is quiet at this time.

There were still torches in the barracks.

But all the lights in the military tents were also turned off, only a few were still on.

Military tent Liu Zaiyuan walked out of his military tent at this moment.

He has a habit of going to the city to inspect the defense every day before going to bed.Even if it was windy and rainy, it never stopped.

This is also one of the reasons why there are so many deputy commanders in the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty, but in the end he was promoted to the post of commander of the Tianli Army as the deputy commander of the Tiangang Army.

At the door, more than ten guards and priests followed him naturally without waiting for him to speak.

More than ten riders left the camp and headed for the north gate of Dangyang County.

At the north gate, Liu Zaiyuan climbed to the top of the city.

In this summer, the night is not cold.But when he passed by the soldiers, he would still arrange the military uniforms for some soldiers.

This has become a habit and a natural thing.

The soldiers were also used to it, and when they saw Liu Yuanyuan, they all smiled and shouted: "Commander."

But no one expected that there would be masters of the Yuan Dynasty lurking outside the city.

No matter how far Liu went to the east city, the torches of his group and the shouts from the top of the city would not surprisingly attract the attention of the masters who were still lurking outside the city.

They were waiting for an opportunity, and the Tianli Army was heavily defended, which gave them quite a headache.The appearance of Liu Zaiyuan at this time undoubtedly made them overjoyed.

There are not many people in the Song Army who can be called commanders.

They originally planned to go to government offices and military camps. After all, the chances of assassinating the generals of the Great Song Army Commander level were not high.Because the Song Army had Shenlong guns, it only took a little time to react, and they couldn't stay in the city any longer.But at this time, Liu Zaiyuan was like sending it to his door by himself.

These masters of the Yuan Dynasty were all moved, even if the Song Army general who was called the army commander was not Liu Zaiyuan, as long as they succeeded, they would still make money.

At that moment, the leader no longer hesitated, and said softly: "Ready to do it."

Although the voice was low, the murderous aura was strong.

As soon as the voice fell, the man suddenly jumped out of the grass and rushed towards the city.

But the city wall several meters high is really nothing to them.

When a person is in the air, artistic conception suddenly diffuses from his body.

This made the soldiers of the Tianli Army at the top of the city stunned.

Immediately afterwards, several artistic conceptions burst out.

This time Yeluzhu really spent a lot of money.

Although not all of these artistic conceptions are true martial arts powerhouses, there are as many as two true martial arts powerhouses.And those masters of the Shangyuan Realm who comprehend the artistic conception are naturally extremely strong.

The remaining people, even if they are not in the Shangyuan state, are not much worse than the Shangyuan state.

This is the background of Green Forest Camp.

"what!"

A hidden weapon streaked across the night.

Some soldiers at the top of the city screamed and fell towards the bottom of the city with torches.

These screams immediately broke the silence of the night.

"Enemy attack!"

There was a sharp shout.

Many soldiers around Liu Zaiyuan hadn't recovered yet, and in the distance, quite a few soldiers had already picked up their Shenlong guns and shot at the masters who were rushing up the city.

Gunshots resounded.

A black figure stopped abruptly and fell to the top of the wall.

However, they were indeed difficult to deal with. In a few moments, more than a dozen people rushed to the top of the city.

Someone waved his hands repeatedly, and hidden weapons kept passing by.Soldiers of the Tianli Army around him fell down in response.

At such a short distance, with the aim of these masters, the power of the hidden weapon is not much less than that of the Shenlong Gun.

All the soldiers of the Tianli Army who fell on their backs were shot in the face.

Two real martial arts experts attacked Liu Zaiyuan directly.

As soon as they got to the top of the city, their eyes fixed on Liu Zaiyuan who was wearing the general's armor.

None of the soldiers of the Tianli Army caught off guard could stop them.

The city was in chaos in an instant.

Facing so many masters, the soldiers of the Tianli Army lost dozens of soldiers in a blink of an eye.

"Protect the commander!"

"Protect the commander!"

Some soldiers rushed towards Liu Zaiyuan's side, but their pace was undoubtedly much slower than those of the masters of the Yuan Dynasty.

Liu Zaiyuan had only twenty people guarding him.

The hidden weapon passed by.

A guard standing in front of him fell down in response.

The few priests didn't dare to go forward to fight at this moment, they just pulled Liu Zaiyuan back quickly when they came back to their senses.It's a gut reaction.

They all knew in their hearts that these assassins were extremely skilled, even if they charged forward, it would be of no avail.

Right now, protecting Liu Zaiyuan is the most important thing.

The Shangyuan Jing Gao who was enshrining stood in front of Liu Zaiyuan with a sword in his hand, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

The surrounding soldiers were often beheaded before they had time to shoot under the artistic conception, and they couldn't stop these assassins at all.

Liu Zaiyuan was protected by everyone, he drew out his saber clang, but shouted: "Kill!"

Those personal guards are all people who get along with him day and night.But at this time, he was beheaded by these assassins in front of his eyes.

The fire flickered.

The masters of the Yuan Dynasty aimed at Liu Zaiyuan, and in just a few tens of seconds, they came close.

There is sword energy piercing through the air.

Blood splattered.

Even the new type of armor can't stop such sword energy.

Liu Zaiyuan could already see the faces of these assassins clearly.

"Commander, run!"

The Priest of the Shangyuan Realm who held the sword finally slashed forward.

The few remaining priests dragged Liu Zaiyuan and hurried to the stairs.

The cold light flickered quickly in the firelight.
