Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1498 Assassination
After seeing off the king and Prince Rupert, Sun Chuanting returned to his temporary residence in York City, a house made of stones.

"Master." The two maids arranged to serve Sun Chuanting bowed.

These two maids are not ordinary civilians, but the daughters of some minor nobles, hoping to curry favor with this famous man in England.

"Bring two buckets of water back for me." Sun Chuanting did not refuse anyone who came, and only treated him as an ordinary servant.

"Yes, master," replied the two maids.

Sun Chuanting simply took a shower, and then he will continue to lead troops to fight in the northern counties. At that time, it is estimated that he will have to live a military life without being able to take a bath for a long time.

At night, Sun Chuanting was lying on his bed, still thinking about which town to attack next.Most of the northern part has fallen into the hands of the king's army. As long as they continue to conquer the towns, sooner or later they will be able to occupy all the towns and lands in the north.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something moving outside the room.

Out of vigilance, Sun Chuanting picked up the revolver beside the pillow and walked lightly to the door.

"Master, do you have any orders?" A maid's voice came from outside the door.

Sun Chuanting opened the door and saw a maid holding a candle outside.

"I don't have any orders... What did you notice?" Sun Chuanting listened to the other party's words, feeling suspicious.

"We heard the sound of a tub falling downstairs, and we thought it was some trouble or order from you, the master, so we asked me to come and check." The maid said respectfully.

"Didn't you two cause the movement?"

Sun Chuanting's expression gradually became serious.

If it wasn't him or the two maids who caused the disturbance, then who else sneaked in at this time?

"Not good!" Sun Chuanting heard a flash of fire in the darkness, and suddenly pulled the maid in and closed the door forcefully.

Boom!The sound of the musket sounded, and the bullet landed where the maid was just now!

Footsteps sounded, and someone rushed to the attic where Sun Chuanting was!

"Two people, no, there are three people, four people..." Sun Chuanting leaned against the corner, aiming the revolver in his hand at the wooden door that might be kicked open at any time.The candle in the maid's hand has been extinguished by Sun Chuanting.

He judged the number of people on the other side based on the sound of footsteps, and there were four of them.

The maid was obviously terrified, and she hid herself in Sun Chuanting's arms with a pale face.

It seems that this time I was feared by the parliamentary army, so the other party used such despicable methods to seek a turnaround.

The mercenaries who came to assassinate shot at the wooden door, but Sun Chuanting was not behind the door. Unless they rushed in, their actions would be futile.

"Idiot, hurry up and reload the gunpowder!" Some of the assassins realized that shooting at the wooden door was futile.

The wheel-guns they used were a nuisance to reload, but they were more numerous, and each had a musket.

They thought that the opponent had only one musket, and as long as the opponent fired a bullet, they could shoot Sun Chuanting to death!Now it depends on who will break in first to face the shooting of Sun Chuanting's musket.

"Go in!" said the leading assassin to the other.

That person was a little hesitant. If he kicked the door in, he might be shot by Sun Chuanting.

"Go in!" The leading assassin pressed the musket to his subordinate's chest.

His subordinates had no choice but to bite the bullet and kick open the wooden door. Just as he was about to turn around and go in, Sun Chuanting shot first.

"Hmm..." The first assassin who broke in fell to the ground, the musket in his hand fell to the ground, and he hadn't had time to shoot.

The next three assassins did not feel sad because of the sacrifice of their companions. Rather, it was the opposite. With one less person sharing the commission, each of them could get more rewards.More importantly, they believed that Sun Chuanting was using the same firearm as them, and it took a lot of time to reload the ammunition after firing a shot.

The three secretly delighted rushed into the room, intending to shoot Sun Chuanting.

However, something that made them desperate happened. Sun Chuanting shot one after another, killing the three people who rushed in from behind.

The musket in Sun Chuanting's hand was neither a wheel-wheel gun nor an arquebus, but a continuous-fire revolver with six bullet chambers. People who were shot at such a short distance had almost no reason to survive.

Sun Chuanting still stayed in the darkness for a while uneasy. He carefully discerned the movement in the darkness, and found that there was no more movement in the darkness, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, who are they..." The maid was so frightened that she didn't even dare to scream, and 4 people lost their lives in front of her on the spot!

"It must be an assassin. If they can't beat us, they will use such indecent means." Sun Chuanting let go of the maid, lit a candle to check the fallen assassins, and found that they were all out of breath.

The assassination at night alarmed the soldiers in the city. They learned that the commander-in-chief who led them to victory had been assassinated. The officers immediately brought the soldiers to support, especially some knights who followed Sun Chuanting arrived immediately.

"These people don't look like people from our England. They may be mercenaries from other kingdoms." Lester brought people to check the bodies of several assassins.

It's like someone from England and Scotland serving in the European battlefield. After the outbreak of the English Civil War, many desperadoes and mercenaries from the European kingdom swarmed after smelling the war and were active on the English warships.

They can be hired and fought by anyone for money, and the kingdoms allow them to exist because they have more combat experience than the recruited farmers.But the loyalty of these people is worth considering, and they will do anything for money.

"They must have been hired by the parliament to murder our commander, and they want to reverse the situation!"

"Defeat the shameless people in the parliament and catch the murderer behind the scenes!"

The knights and infantry were furious when they learned of this, clamoring to defeat the parliament and bring the murderer behind the scenes to justice.

"In the future, I will arrange a group of Irish knights to serve as your guards. They will follow me in Ireland and fight against the local aborigines, and they will be absolutely loyal." Irish Governor Leicester generously handed over a dozen knights to Sun Chuanting.

These are the personal soldiers he brought, and they are naturally very different from ordinary guards.

Sun Chuanting looked at the assassin who was carried out, and being assassinated by someone sent by the council naturally proved that the council panicked, but such an assassination almost cost his life.

"If they are really assassins hired by the parliament, then our officers are in danger... even the king is in danger. It is best to send someone to remind the king's guards to protect the king's safety. He is our biggest The trump card." Sun Chuanting suddenly thought of King Charles.

If the people in the parliament think they are on the verge of defeat, then anything is possible.
