Kai Fu Han

Chapter 614 Surrender
Night, quiet and noisy!
The surroundings of Cheng's mansion showed an extremely depressed state, and all the guards of the imperial guards were a little trembling.In the distance outside the east gate, artillery fire raged in the sky, and from time to time, explosions soared into the sky to illuminate the entire night sky.

The silence here combined with the noise in the distance made the entire city of Hangzhou a sleepless night.

The people were hiding in their own homes, with their families nestled together, staying together for peace of mind. Even if it was a sweltering midsummer night, they did not dare to open the windows to get some air.

Song Gou felt that at this moment, he could finally be called resting with the people, and his people were hiding at home in fear, so why not himself.

"Officials, get ready, we are leaving." The eunuch warned from outside the door, and then a maid came in, holding some clothes.

These clothes are different from the previous court uniforms and regular uniforms. They are ordinary Guards uniforms.

[Is the situation already bad enough? 】 Song Gou was so depressed that he couldn't help but said angrily: "Leave? Run away! Where can you run away now?"

Although he complained, he still stood up and cooperated with the maid's service and got dressed.

Since Yuan Kang's tragedy, Song Gou has experienced too much. Even in such a desperate situation today, he still has not despaired.

"The state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River are still loyal to our Zhao State. As long as they leave Hangzhou and cross the river, there will be many loyal and righteous people coming to serve the king." The eunuch Jin Cheng and Song Gou walked along and understood his temperament and also interacted with each other. Trust: "If we keep the green hills, we won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Now that Prime Minister Li is supporting us at the east gate, we still have a chance."

There is a chance to escape the city.

"There is an assassin!" Suddenly, a loud roar came from the south of the yard, and then the whole yard became noisy.

Not long after, warnings from the Imperial Army came from the east, west, and north.

Assassins rushed in from all directions.

……

The flaming flare exploded in the night sky, which was unusually eye-catching.

The somewhat stunned defenders saw a large number of assassins in brown tights rushing towards them in the streets in front of the main entrance as the night sky was illuminated.

The brown color hides very well in the night, making it difficult to tell how many assassins there are.

"There are assassins!"

The general who was responsible for guarding the gate shouted loudly, and then pulled out the long knife in his hand. A group of guards lined up in a semi-arc defensive position, waiting for the assassin to approach.Behind the semi-arc are the Imperial Guards holding divine arm crossbows, loading arrows into the crossbows.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!The sound of arrows piercing the air.

The assassin's crossbow fired first.

The Type 3828 powerful version of the repeating crossbow is entirely made of steel, with only hardwood used for unstressed parts such as the drag guard.The powerful version is three times more powerful than the ordinary version, and the force required to load the arrow is also two or three times greater than the ordinary version. Therefore, the powerful version of the repeating crossbow can only be used by warriors.

The power of the all-steel crossbow was comparable to that of Nan Zhao's bed crossbow. It shot through the front row shield, then shot through the body of the front row guard, and finally nailed the back row crossbowman.

There were only ten powerful repeating crossbows but they fired the power of a hundred bed crossbows.

The imperial guards guarding the gate were immediately killed and a gap was created.

With two hundred soldiers supported by the navy, this raid was much easier than the previous ones.

Imagine that more than 200 "Captain Americas" attack a compound guarded by less than 1000 people. Who can withstand it?

Zhao Nan led sixty soldiers to attack from the back door. He was the main force of the raid, and the other three directions were auxiliary attacks to attract attention.The crossbow also opened the way. After Zhao Nan led the team into the back door, he did not disperse. Instead, he left ten people to guard the back door, and then led 50 people directly towards the small courtyard where Song Gou might be hiding.

Along the way, anyone who dared to stand in the way was slashed, and the entire raiding team was running at lightning speed.Suddenly, a dozen guardsmen rushed out from a room in front of them. They saw that their raiding team did not come up to fight, nor did they abandon their swords and surrender, but instead rushed towards the side door with their swords.

"Stop them!" Zhao Nan did not hesitate and immediately ordered his men to stop this suspicious team.

Stop, not kill.

Ordinary people had no resistance at all in front of the warriors. These dozen guards were surrounded by the raiding warriors within two breaths.

"You take people to search the houses in the south, and you take people to the west." Two team leaders were quickly arranged to search the surrounding houses, while Zhao Nan stayed.

Looking carefully at these dozen guards, the clothes and weapons are all standard and nothing special.

However, after being surrounded, the dozen or so people quickly formed a small circular formation, guarding one of the guards in the middle.

This guard was wearing a hood, so his face could not be seen clearly, but from the exposed skin on his hands, neck, and around his eyes, it could be seen that he did not look like a weathered and well-trained soldier.

It is obvious from the skin of its fine skin and tender flesh that it is absolutely pampered in daily life.

"We surrender. You Xinghan Alliance treats the prisoners kindly, please don't kill us?" The speaker was a guard in the outer circle. He took the lead and dropped the long knife in his hand. The other guards also dropped their knives, including The "Forbidden Army" in the middle.

However, the formation of the guards did not disperse, and a circle of people surrounded the "Forbidden Army" in the middle.

The soldiers forming a circle did not answer, waiting for Zhao Nan to deal with them.

"Song Gou, do you think you can still escape?" Zhao Nan pushed aside a Forbidden Army guard on the outer circle and walked to the "Forbidden Army" in the middle and asked.

The Forbidden Army acted very calmly, slowly raised his hand and pulled off his turban, looked at Zhao Nan and said, "You have won, let your people stop."

At this time, a circle of guards had gathered around. When these guards saw Song Gou's dress and heard what he said, they knew that everything was over.

The clanging sounds were heard continuously, and the swords were thrown to the ground.

As if it would spread, soon the fighting in the entire courtyard stopped.

The soldiers gathered and surrounded Song Gou. As soon as they walked out of the courtyard, they saw the imperial troops from three other directions finally coming over.

But it's too late.

"Official! I am too late to save you, so I will die!" A minister shouted sternly and knelt down in the middle of the street. Then, more and more people knelt down, blocking the surrounding streets and alleys.

"What's next?" the deputy asked cautiously.

The officials and Imperial Guard soldiers kneeling on the street were all unarmed, and it was impossible for us to cut a way through them with a knife.

"It's okay, we'll just wait."

With Song Gou in hand, the situation has been decided. These people are just struggling to the death.

The scene was at a stalemate, and Zhao Nan was not in a hurry. The siege battle by the Xinghan Allied Forces outside the city would soon have results. When the Xinghan Allied Forces entered the city, these people would realize that the situation was over.

"All loves, get up, it's useless, cooperate with the Xinghan League, surrender as soon as possible, and do less evil." Song Gou stood up.

"Yes, official!" The minister kneeling at the front cried and kowtowed in response.
