Chapter 527: Assassination Failure
But he still believes in that person's words very much, because these people were arranged for him by Yan Da.
Since he can't see the problem, then it is certain that the one who came to assassinate himself this time must be an elite dead soldier, otherwise with his many years of battlefield experience, he would not be unable to see a trace.
In order to lure people out, Cai Mao deliberately shot an arrow, pretending to take a fancy to the prey, and slapped his horse to prepare for confirmation.
"......
At this moment, suddenly in front of him, among the dead trees and weeds, dozens of feather arrows were shot, directly hitting the advancing Cai Mao.
Looking at the feather arrow that suddenly shot, Cai Mao showed a sneer on his face, slammed his horse, and fell to the side.
"Plop!"
"Puff, puff......"
Dozens of feather arrows accurately hit the fallen war horse, if Cai Mao was defenseless, he would definitely die under this round of arrows.
As soon as the feather arrow fell, hundreds of masked men rushed out in front of him, all holding long swords or sharp short knives, rushing towards Cai Mao who fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the ten horsemen who followed behind them rushed forward, two of them protected Cai Mao who fell to the ground, and the rest killed the rushing assassins.
These two hundred dead soldiers were selected from the elite guards brought by Liu Bei, and their combat power can be imagined, with one enemy and ten, it is more than enough.
But when he wanted to meet the eight horsemen, he was like a lamb to the slaughter, and he was killed by a blow without the power to fight back.
Seeing this, the leader knew that he had met a master, and hurriedly beckoned: "Leave others alone, take Cai Mao directly." ”
Originally, the assassins were all uniformly dressed, whether they had words or not, and the eight horsemen could not find a leader, but now as soon as they spoke, their position was naturally exposed.
I saw the two horsemen separate from the battle circle and rushed straight to the man who had just given the order.
As the saying goes, the thief captures the king first, and the treatment of the two horsemen, but the ten horsemen also want to end the battle quickly.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The two horsemen brandished their weapons at the same time, slashing at different angles, and they wanted to kill the person in front of them with one move.
But this person is not an ordinary person, I saw him slashing left and right, and easily defused the attack of the two.
The master has made a move, and in one round, you can find out the opponent's bottom in detail.
The two horsemen showed solemnity on their faces, knowing that the person in front of them was a rare master, and the two sides looked at each other a few times, waved their weapons again, and fought together.
The dead man got the order, and he was desperate to rush towards Cai Mao, but under the interception of the six horsemen, few people could break through the defense line.
Even those who were lucky enough to break through and rushed to within five steps of Cai Mao, who had already stood up, would be killed by the two horsemen of the guards.
The sound of fighting here shook the sky, but no one came, obviously they had received a secret order.
But that's okay, the ten horsemen will carry out an amazing slaughter here, and it won't leak out.
Seeing that the two hundred dead soldiers kept falling, but it was difficult to enter Cai Mao's body, the leader knew that the assassination had been known to the other party in advance, and if he continued to fight, he would only increase casualties in vain.
A knife split the entanglement of the two horses, and the leader shouted and quickly retreated. "The wind is howling, get out of here!"
As soon as the retreat order came out, the remaining dead soldiers also exited the battle circle in a very orderly manner and left quickly.
As for those who have been left, they are obviously ready to fight for their lives, and they are desperately pestering the people who want to pursue.
After the dead soldiers left behind were cleared, the ten horsemen who had risen to kill wanted to chase after them, but they were stopped by Cai Mao. "Don't chase, poor don't chase."
Hearing Cai Mao's shouting, the ten horsemen wiped the blood stains on their weapons, returned to the sheath and patted their horses behind Cai Mao.
Seeing this, Cai Mao was shocked and annoyed, shocked that the combat power of these ten horsemen was simply terrifying, if he entered behind the enemy, he would want to sabotage, but he was afraid that no one would be able to stop him.
Angry, these dead soldiers are obviously first-class masters in the army, if they are defenseless, I am afraid that today is the day of death, Liu Bei Liu Biao, obviously want to kill himself with one blow.
Cai Mao's face was cold, and she strode up to carefully inspect the body to see if she could find anything, but unfortunately she didn't find anything at all.
Cai Mao frowned, stood up and said, "The matter is settled, go back and wait." ”
Since she couldn't find anything, Cai Mao could only leave helplessly, ready to wait for Liu Biao and the others to arrive.
When Cai Mao returned empty-handed on foot, he saw Liu Biao and others waiting at the exit, and when he saw him coming, he obviously had an incredible expression on his face.
Cai Mao stepped forward expressionlessly and arched his hand and asked, "Can Lord Zhou Mu hunt white deer?" ”
"I didn't ...... There is a ......" Liu Biao stammered for a while, obviously not expecting that Cai Mao would come out alive.
Seeing Liu Biao's appearance, Cai Mao continued: "Mao has not hunted white deer, but he has benefited a lot from what he has experienced. ”
"I didn't expect that there are assassins rampant in the suburbs of Nanyang, it seems that it is necessary to rectify it, in case it is the assassination of the state pastor, then Jingzhou will be in turmoil."
"Assassins, where are they?" Liu Biao asked nervously, and then found that it was wrong, and hurriedly added: "Whoever dares to assassinate the military division, Benzhou Mu will send someone to encircle and suppress it." ”
Cai Mao said coldly: "No need, those assassins have all been killed, and the remaining small part has also fled, just let them go back and ring the alarm bell for the people behind them." ”
Hearing this, Liu Biao said with a slight embarrassment on his face: "It's okay, don't worry, the military advisor can rest assured, this matter will definitely be investigated clearly, and he will never let go of the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
Cai Mao arched his hand and said: "Then there is Lord Laozhou, Mao was slightly frightened, so he didn't stay long, and left first." ”
Cai Mao is leaving, Liu Biao is naturally anxious, and now that he stays, it will only make the atmosphere feel awkward, and he must also figure out why this assassination will end in failure.
Cai Mao and his entourage left, and Liu Biao also asked the accompanying family and others to leave, leaving himself and Liu Bei to return to the city together.
On the way, Liu Biao asked with a gloomy face: "Xuande, aren't the two hundred dead soldiers you arranged the elite among the elite, why did you still miss?" ”
Liu Bei is also extremely curious about the failure of this assassination, according to normal speaking, Cai Mao will definitely die, but the fact is that the assassination failed, and there must be something strange in it.
Liu Bei replied respectfully: "The one who prepared the arrangement is indeed a ** Rui, and its leader is Chen Dao, the chief of the guard, there should be no problem in taking down Cai Mao, could it be that there is a problem with the ten horsemen who accompanied him?" ”
Liu Biao didn't want to think about it and said: "Two hundred people, assassinate eleven people, have full preparation, no matter how powerful they are, they will be damaged." ”
Liu Biao's meaning is very obvious, that is, he suspects that Liu Bei has secretly done something, otherwise there would not be such a situation.
But Liu Bei is also a smart person, and the best explanation is to let the survivors explain it themselves.
"What Bei said is the truth, if my brother doesn't believe it, you can call the surviving people and ask about the scene at that time, and it will be clear."
