Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 314 Bloody Night

"We want to see the general in Kaesong! We want to see the general!"

The surging Nanchuan warriors continued to gather outside the Qingmuchuan city from all directions, and the lit torches were like a sea of ​​stars, covering the open field.

Because the assassination of Lin Chuan is of great importance, it has been blocked to the outside world after discussion by the officers of the High Command, but the news of the blockade by the High Command seems to be concealed by someone who deliberately leaked it, and the lower-level soldiers have a crisis of trust in the senior officers. .

"Open the city gate, we want to see the general!" A banner chief yelled at the troops defending the city with an angry face.

"Everyone, the general is fine. What are you doing seeing the general? You should go back quickly in the middle of the night. It is a violation of military law to leave the station without authorization!"

A flag regiment officer with a face full of flesh kicked over the rejecting horse under the city, and yelled at the battalion commander of the banner guarding the city on the top of the wall: "Go to hell, it's good, the news has spread, the Zhao family sent assassins to assassinate you!" General, how long do you want to hide it?!"

"It's absolutely impossible at this moment. The general is fine at the moment. You must have been bewitched by traitors. Brothers, go back quickly. You will be in trouble when the military judge comes."

"Don't try to deceive us! We want to see the general, we want to protect the general!"

"Yes, open the city gate, we want to see the general!"

Excited soldiers raised their weapons high and clamored loudly. More and more soldiers gathered, and the banner battalion guarding the city head had to be fully armed and ready to respond.

When the commander of the banner battalion guarding the city was about to send someone to report to the generals, Robben, the deputy commander of the army, came to the gate of the city with his guards.

Seeing Robben's arrival, the Battalion Commander of the Shoucheng Banner felt as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw, and rushed to greet him profusely in sweat.

"The last general has met Deputy Commander Luo," the Battalion Commander of the Guarding Banner hurriedly said before he could salute, "Deputy Commander Luo, there are quite a few brothers gathered outside, and they want to see me in Kaicheng to see the general, what should I do—"

Robben saw the battalion commander of the defending banner who was sweating profusely and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, open the city gate, and I will negotiate with them."

"Deputy Commander Luo, I got an order before that the city is not allowed to open the city at night under any circumstances in the past few days. Would you like to report it to the chief of staff, Mr. Li?"

"Why? I, the deputy commander of the army, is not as good as a chief of staff?" Robben suddenly sank when he heard the words of the battalion commander of the garrison banner, and said coldly.

"No, no, Deputy Commander Luo, don't get me wrong. In this special period, I'm just afraid of causing trouble." Banner Battalion Commander hurriedly explained.

"Kaicheng, I'll be responsible for anything that happens!" Robben flicked his sleeves and walked towards the city gate.

The Battalion Commander of the Shoucheng Banner's face was cloudy and uncertain, he gritted his teeth and shouted at the tower: "Kaicheng—Kacheng—"

With the creaking rotation of the winch, the heavy city gate slowly fell, and Robben led the guards through the dark corridor and walked out of the city.

"The city is open, the city is open!" Seeing the opening of the city gate, thousands of soldiers gathered outside the city shouted excitedly. They were about to enter the city, but they found that Robben came out with the guards.

"What do you want to do?! Aren't you afraid of beheading if you leave the station without authorization?!" Robben said with a sullen face, his voice was full of majesty, and he stopped the surging soldiers.

"Master Luo, Deputy Commander, we heard that the general was assassinated, we want to see the general, and we want to seek revenge from the Zhao family!" Someone shouted loudly.

"Yes, Deputy Commander Luo, why did you block the news of the general's assassination!" Someone asked loudly.

"The general is fine, it's all right, it's all right, let's leave, let's go back." Robben perfunctory everyone, which made people feel suspicious.

"Deputy Commander Luo, we have to see if the general is dead or alive, otherwise the brothers won't be going back today!"

"Do you want to disobey the military order?!" Robben brought out the military order to suppress these angry soldiers.

"If you disobey the military order, you will disobey the military order. We must see the general tonight, otherwise we will not be at ease!" Facing the threat of Robben, the excited soldiers were no longer afraid of the military order.

Robben seemed to be making a difficult decision, he raised his head and shouted: "Okay, I can allow you to go to see the general, but it's not a problem if tens of thousands of you go, so how about it, you officers above the flag battalion commander will follow you." I'm going to see the general, and the others stay here and wait for news."

Hearing Robben's words, there was a commotion among the soldiers. Hundreds of officers above the banner battalion commander pushed through the crowd and walked to the front, preparing to meet Lin Chuan on behalf of the soldiers outside the city.

"Just wait." Robben led more than 100 officers into the city. The surging soldiers sat on the ground, waiting for the news. Seeing the soldiers calm down, the guards heaved a sigh of relief.

"Deputy Commander Luo, this is not the way to the military station." On the streets of the city, hundreds of officers followed behind Robben. Suddenly someone noticed something was wrong and reminded him.

A look of ferocity flashed across Robben's face, he turned around and waved his hands, the soldiers of Robben's guard who had been walking on both sides suddenly pulled out their weapons and aimed at these unsuspecting officers. "

Faced with the sudden change, the officers froze for a moment. Facing the glaring swords and guns, some officers asked loudly: "Deputy Commander Luo, what do you mean?!"

Robben has changed his face at this moment, changed from the gentleness before, and his face is full of coldness: "Everyone, now that I have reached this point, I will not hide it from everyone. I am a member of the Dynasty Dark Hall, and now Lin Chuan can't save me. The Zhao family is about to rebel, the Nanchuan army is finished, and the dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops will launch an attack tonight. Now I will point out a way to survive, that is to follow me. I guarantee that everyone will still enjoy the glory and wealth after the success! "

"Brothers, he is a member of the Dark Hall of the Dynasty, kill him!" An officer loyal to the Nanchuan Army was filled with anger after hearing Robben's words, and called these officers to rise up and resist.

"Pfft!" A sharp arrow flew into the air, and the officer's chest was splashed with blood, and he fell to the ground.

Only then did the officers realize that the roofs on both sides of the street were already covered with soldiers holding bows and crossbows, and the arrows were aimed at themselves.

"Brothers, there are tens of thousands of people outside our city, get out!"

"Yes, you can't follow this traitor!" Several officers echoed loudly.

Robben's face darkened, and he waved his hand. Suddenly, among the officers, several officers who secretly took refuge in Robben violently wounded and killed several officers loyal to the Nanchuan Army on the spot.

"Follow the dynasty army to eat and drink spicy food, everyone, don't be ignorant of current affairs, toast and not eat fine wine!" Robben warned coldly.

Seeing his colleagues lying in a pool of blood, and looking at more than a dozen officers who had secretly taken refuge in Robben, the rest of the officers looked at each other with fear in their eyes, and reluctantly threw away the knife in their hands.

"Everyone, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Congratulations on becoming a member of the dynasty." Robben was very happy that these officers could have self-knowledge.

These officers who threw down their weapons were full of shame and self-blame, but now they had to bow their heads in the face of the bloody butcher knife, and many officers were only temporarily protecting themselves.

Robben was old and cunning, and he was not a fool to climb to a high position in the Nanchuan Army as a spy, so he didn't intend to immediately trust these officers who surrendered now.

"You lead your troops into the city and control the main roads everywhere." Robben ordered the officers who had already surrendered to him.

"General Luo, what about us?" asked the officers who had just surrendered.

"I've prepared a banquet for you in the Zuihonglou, you just need to eat and drink." Robben didn't trust these officers, so there was such an arrangement.

These officers are now like fish on the chopping board. Even if they are unwilling, they have to go to the drunk red building under the "escort" of the soldiers of Robben's guard.

"Brothers, the general is under the control of the Zhao family in the city, go to the city to rescue the general!" The officers of the surrendering dynasty greeted the Nanchuan soldiers loudly.

The soldiers were already raging with emotion, but at this moment, they all responded, and they took up their swords and guns and rushed into the city with murderous intent.

"What are you doing! Go back, go back!" The battalion commander of the infantry flag who was in charge of guarding Qingmuchuan saw these troops rushing towards the city gate, and hurriedly stood up to stop them.

"They have already joined the Zhao family, let me kill them!" Seeing someone blocking the way, those who joined Luo himself swung their sabers and charged at the battalion commander who defended the city.

"Since when did I become a member of the Zhao family?" Before the battalion commander of Shoucheng Banner could react, the sharp saber had already penetrated his body.

Now the soldiers, who have been dazed by anger, can no longer distinguish between friend and foe. The officer said that they were people who took refuge in the Zhao family, and that was it.

What's more, the officers who came out now are all Robben's people, and those officers who are loyal to Lin Chuan have been controlled, so under the deliberate guidance, the soldiers who originally belonged to the same unit started a bloody fight at the city gate. Bloodshed was inevitable.
