In a few minutes, a large movement suddenly occurred in the houses surrounding Xianyu Fu's residence. Nearly a thousand black-clothed men with swords and blades rushed out, quietly approaching Changli County's Yamen. There weren't many people left in the city at the moment. Occasionally, someone would be awakened by the sound of footsteps. When they saw this scene, they would quickly close their windows and not dare to make a sound, afraid of suffering an unexpected disaster.
"Big brother, he's here." The Xianyu Fu brothers were still at the restaurant on the second floor. Xianyu Yin moved closer to the window to look outside through the crack and saw the black-clothed men turning around to report in in a low voice.
These people were all servants or hanger-ons, and more than 400 of them were Xianbei People s.
"That won't happen!" If Yan Rou went back on her word, she would have definitely left the town long ago. "Send orders, let them attack the county magistrate!"
Xianyu Yin raised his hand and with a bang, a firework shot up into the sky from outside the restaurant, exploding into a brilliant firelight in the air.
"Kill!" Someone shouted in a low voice, and the group of men in black suddenly accelerated, lowered their heads, and rushed towards the main gate of the county magistrate court.
Xianyu Fu went closer to the window and took a look. He noticed that the county magistrate area was once again lit up with lanterns, and Gongsun Xu's subordinates also rushed out from their private rooms. He said "This way is yours", then turned and rushed downstairs.
Xianyu Yin licked his lips in excitement, then pulled out his waist knife and gently wiped it.
The street was too narrow, and the cavalry could not use it at all. Therefore, Gongsun Xu's men did not ride on horses, but kept quiet and formed a formation, and under Gongsun Jia's lead, they took the initiative to attack the black clad men.
The two sides clashed into each other in the blink of an eye. The sound of weapons clashing against each other, the sound of blades clashing into flesh, and muffled screams of agony could be heard incessantly. The number of people that Gongsun Jia led was only about 20%, but they were all carefully chosen elites, dressed in armor, adding to the restrictions on the streets, the number of people in black seemed to be larger than the number of people that Gongsun Jia led. In fact, the number of people fighting in front were not more than the number of people Gongsun Jia led. As a result, they suffered a great loss the moment they fought the black-clothed people. In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred people were hacked to death and injured. Their aggressive approach immediately slowed down as they began to slowly retreat backwards.
Xianyu Yin became furious and shouted downstairs, "A group of idiots! Come, let them take a detour and climb over the wall to get inside. Don't attack the gate again! "
Half of them continued to stay on the streets to fight. The strongest few hundred Xianbei People s quickly climbed over the houses and jumped into the small alley next to them, rushing towards the wall of the county magistrate.
Gongsun Jia saw that the situation was not good and quickly sent half of his men to protect the wall. On Gongsun Jia's side, the number of people decreased, while the black clothed man's morale was boosted, quickly turning the situation around, and only killed Gongsun Jia and the rest, forcing them to continuously retreat.
Not long after, those Xianbei People s had already rushed to the one meter high wall and started climbing up the escalator.
A group of black armored people also appeared on the wall. It was the people that Gongsun Jia had sent out, they all picked up their arrows and started shooting. Xianbei People did not expect to be attacked by the crossbow bolts, she did not have the time to dodge at all.
The power of the crossbow bolts was truly formidable, but unfortunately, he could only fire one arrow at a time, and was unable to maintain the suppression of the arrows for long periods of time. Xianbei People was also aware of this point, so they quickly stabilized themselves and began to build the Mortal Staircase again to climb up the wall, fighting against Gongsun Xu's subordinates once more. The four walls were too long, and Gongsun Xu and his group of more than a hundred people were unable to defend themselves completely. Very quickly, Xianbei People climbed over the walls, and rushed towards the inner part of the city.
At this time, he heard a loud noise coming from the backyard. Gongsun Jia had killed two opponents with a few slashes, then brought his men back to the town hall. He gathered with the rest and retreated back to the second hall, firmly guarding the path and door leading to the inner courtyard. Xianbei People attacked several times consecutively, but were easily repelled because of the small size of the region.
Xianyu Yin then led the others and rushed in unhurriedly. Upon seeing this scene, he became furious and roared: "Idiot! A bunch of idiots! Go and find some logs to break down the wall and smash the door! "
Immediately, a group of people went out to tear down a house and carried the beam back to the courthouse.
"Bang!" Xianyu Yin waved his hand, as though he was commanding his troops to charge forward in high spirits.
Bang! A long ladder was suddenly placed inside the wall, and Gongsun Xu, who was wearing a black iron mask, appeared on top of the wall. At such a close distance, it was simply impossible to miss. In the blink of an eye, four or five people were shot to death, and the remaining few people who threw away their beams turned around and ran, all of them shot by Gongsun Xu from behind as well.
Xianbei People was about to shoot an arrow outside to counterattack, but Gongsun Xu withdrew back. When another person lifted up the beam, he used a shield to block in front of him and threw out a few short spears to disrupt the other party's plans.
"The young duke is mighty!" Cheers came from the inside of the wall.
Xianyu Yin was so angry that he flew into a rage, jumping as he ordered his men to find their shields. At this moment, his heart was burning with anxiety, he had long since lost the carefree attitude he had a moment ago. If he could not quickly resolve the matters over here, what would he do if he ruined King Qiu Liju's plans?
At this time, in the handsome tent in Changli County's army camp, Zhao Yun, who was still wearing his silver mask, sat in the main seat.
Huala! The door curtain was pushed open, and a partial general walked in with two other Academy Officer s.
The partial general was called Wei Dun and was a powerful being. He was very loyal to Liu Yu and was previously appointed as the Youzhou's Chief. After Liu Yu was captured, he followed Liu He and fled to Changli County. In the original history, after Liu Yu was killed, his head was sent to the Luoyang in the capital.
Of the two Academy Officer s, one was called Wang Wei, and the other was called Yang Hong. They were both trusted aides whom Liu Yu had single-handedly promoted, so the loyalty they had towards the Liu father and son was unquestionable.
"Why has Lieutenant Zhao summoned us?" After both sides bowed, Wei Dun took the initiative to ask.
Zhao Yun said softly, "I have come here to discuss an important matter with the three of you."
"What kind of major event can be compared to the safety of Young Master Liu?" Wei Dun frowned and retorted, but continued, "Right now, the county magistrate was being surrounded by bandits, while Lieutenant Zhao is holding onto Liu He's order arrow, ordering us not to go rescue him, what is his intention?"
Wei Dun emphasized his words and almost pointed at Zhao Yun's nose while shouting, "Did you guys kill Young Master Liu already?"
Hearing that, Wang Wei and Yang Hong fiercely stared at Zhao Yun with the hilt of their swords, as though they would fight the moment there was a disagreement.
However, Zhao Yun said unhurriedly: "I guarantee that Young Master Liu He will be safe and sound right now. Since the three of you do not trust me, then let others talk to you."
With that, he clapped his hands and a person walked out from behind, shocking Wei Dun and the other two.
Zhao Yun chuckled: "Alright, can we have a good talk now?"
The three of them bowed and replied, "Yes! "We obey Lieutenant Zhao's orders!"
"In that case, I shall assign the mission."
After a moment, Wei Dun and the other two left the camp and quietly gathered their trusted subordinates to issue their orders.
At the same time, in the Changli's magistrate court, Xianyu Yin's men found a few large shields as a cover, and once again carried the large beams and started to collide with the walls and the house door.
Gongsun Xu peeked his head out and saw that he had been shot by dozens of arrows.
Bang! Bang! Bang! After three consecutive collisions, the walls of the inner courtyard finally collapsed.
"Kill!" Xianyu Yin shouted excitedly, and his subordinates all rushed in.
"Whiz!" Sou sou! What greeted them was a wave of even fiercer arrows. In the midst of their screams, forty to fifty people fell to the ground, dead or wounded.
Xianyu Yin was furious, with the fine iron shield in his left hand and the sharp blade in his right, he took the lead and rushed in.
Swish! He had just rushed in when a sharp spear was thrown at him.
Xianyu Yin raised his shield to block, and with a crisp clank, the spear shaft bent and quickly shrank back. Xianyu Yin raised his head and saw that it was Gongsun Xu. He shouted loudly as he took two steps forward and slashed towards Gongsun Xu's right shoulder.
The tip of Gongsun Xu's spear trembled, and in the blink of an eye, he had already pierced seven times, all the way to Xianyu Yin's curved blade.
Xianyu Yin's palm split open, the scimitar flew out of his hand, causing him to be extremely shocked, he quickly used his shield to block the vital points on his chest.
Swish! Gongsun Xu's spear thrust straight out, aiming straight for Xianyu Yin's throat! Gongsun Xu pulled out his spear, blood spewing out from the wound.
Xianyu Yin's shield clattered to the ground, clutching his throat, he was unable to say a word, and immediately fell to the ground and died.
Immediately, someone cried out in shock: "Oh no, it's not like we were killed by Gongsun Xu!"
"Charge forward and avenge Lieutenant Yu Yu!"
"Revenge my ass! Run!" Go and find Xianyu Fu to do it! "
"Coward, you actually dare to run!" Kill! "
"Ah, the Xianbei People killed one of our own! Xianbei People killed her own people! "
The Xianbei People and the Chinese servants had different opinions. The former wanted to go in and take revenge, but the latter didn't want to die.
Gongsun Xu swung his spear and took the chance to rush out with Gongsun Jia and the rest. The hundred plus people actually chased after the seven to eight hundred people all the way to the end of the main street in front of the town's entrance.
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter! Just as the group of men in black was about to disperse, a torch was lit at the corner of the street in front of them. A team of four to five hundred cavalrymen suddenly charged over. The leader rode on a big black horse, dressed in black fish scales, holding onto a long blade, it was Yan Rou!
Yan Rou shouted: "All of you, quickly get out of the way, I will kill Gongsun Xu!"
The black-clothed people were overjoyed as they ran towards the houses on both sides.
Gongsun Xu bellowed: Yan Rou, you dare to collude with Xianyu Fu and rebel, are you not afraid of your reputation being ruined?
"Haha!" Yan Rou laughed, "Gongsun Xu, you lied to Young Master Liu with your flowery words, but how could you lie to me? I have already heard reliable news, once Master Liu stabilizes the situation and lets the refugees safely pass through this winter, next spring, before the You father and son fight against Yuan Shao, in order to prevent a fire in the backyard, they will kill Master Liu's family! Gongsun Xu, do you dare to swear to the heavens that this is fake? "
Gongsun Xu's body trembled. Without saying a word, he turned around and left, as if he was afraid of making an excuse.
"Kill!" Yan Rou waved her blade and squeezed through the crowd and rushed towards Gongsun Xu.
