Volume 1 The Fierce Wind Rises Chapter 101 Hu Ji (5)
Compared to the ferocious advance of the four surnamed Hao clans, the defense force in the Assassin's Mansion was too weak. Half of the dozens of guards were killed in the blink of an eye, and the rest were fighting and leaving. Although in the process of retreating, they were reinforced by a small force of about ten people several times, they were still defeated by the offensive of the Hao tribe, and the situation was precarious.
Chi Zao is always at the forefront. His body is as agile as a ghost, and his sword skills are even more fierce and abnormal, not at all like an old man in his fifties. Those reinforcements of the Jin soldiers couldn't stop his offensive at all, but made him happy in his heart:
Those reinforcements were clearly the personal soldiers of the senior generals of the Jin army. The greater the number of pro-soldiers, it proves that there are more Jin army officials in the Assassin's Mansion at the moment. If they can be wiped out, the Jin army will be like a snake that has been cut off by seven inches, and there will be no chance to turn the tables. I am afraid that without the Huns sending troops, Jinyang Xiongcheng can change hands...... This is definitely a miracle.
Not to mention Chi Zao's shouting for a fierce battle, the rest of Wang Min, Gao Huai and others also brought their warlike servants to fight hard. The Jin soldiers who originally blocked them were no more than twenty at the moment, and they were besieged by more than five times the Hao tribes, and were divided into scattered pieces, relying on various buildings in the mansion to resist stubbornly.
The four surnamed Hao clans were in a hurry, and they actually broke through the two 'doors' one after another, and 'pressed' to approach the east chamber where the Prefecture Assassin Historian's Office was located.
The Assassin's Office is located on the east side of the third entrance of the Assassin's Mansion, which is said to be the East Chamber, but it is actually an independent courtyard. Yue Shigong concurrently served as the general of the state assassin, the general of the Hun Zhonglang and the general Zhenwu, so the subordinate staff of these three positions were merged together, occupying a fairly broad area.
Due to the fact that all the subordinates involved in military affairs are here, and a large number of important files are also stored, in consideration of security factors, Liu Kun has specially ordered people to strengthen and repair the courtyard in the past few months. The entire courtyard is surrounded by thick, towering walls, and there is no access except for the main gate. And by this time, the main 'door' had been shut. The heavy wooden 'door' was even wrapped in iron sheets, which were difficult to break even if a heavy axe was wielded.
On the courtyard wall of the east chamber, there are battlements and a high platform for lookouts. At this time, more than a dozen soldiers of the Jin army condescendingly 'shot' and attacked, and immediately killed and injured a lot of Hao tribesmen. Wang Min immediately organized people to 'shoot', but only a very few people in the Hao clan carried bows and arrows, and the 'shooting' skills were not as good, so they couldn't take advantage of it for a while.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and Tian Sheng's men and horses also came over from the backyard. Tian Sheng set fire to it happily along the way, and saw that the Jin army was huddled in this courtyard, so he proposed to throw torches into the courtyard and "force" all the people in the courtyard to come out.
After all, Chi Zao is much older, and he knows that this courtyard is not only the office of the subordinates, but also the storage place of the household registration and field registration of the entire Taiyuan State, if it is burned, it will be a pity. Naturally, this is also due to the fact that the Huns allowed him to be a shepherd, and at this time, seeing that the victory was in hand, he had already started to be a magistrate.
When he was thinking about it, a subordinate behind him hurriedly rushed to say: "Clan master, the lights of the Hun camp outside the city are getting brighter, and they have begun to act!" ”
At this moment, it is about the time between the second hour and the second hour, and according to the usual custom, it will be a full hour before the morning meal, that is, the time for breakfast.
Chi Zao didn't expect the Huns to be so impatient, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He believed that once tens of thousands of tigers attacked the city, it would never be more difficult than smashing a 'chicken' eggshell. The four wealthy families wanted to control Jinyang before the Xiongnu broke the city, and time was very tight.
He immediately said to Tian Sheng: "Virtuous nephew, this assassination mansion is difficult to capture, and it is not the best strategy to stop the army." You immediately lead your subordinates and set fire to Jinyang City. If the city soldiers come to help, there is no need to resist the enemy, just retreat...... Be sure to make the situation 'chaotic', the more 'chaotic' the better! ”
Tian Sheng said fiercely: "It's exactly what I want!" He gave up his hand murderously and led his subordinates down.
After a short time, there was a loud killing sound outside the Assassin's Mansion, and several fires rose. Under the light of the fire, Tian Sheng's subordinates said that the Hu people entered the city and killed people like crazy tigers.
It must be known that under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Hu people, the entire Jinyang is already fluctuating, and people's emotions are suppressed to the extreme. Now that the Assassin's Mansion was attacked at night, and then there were murderers burning and killing everywhere, the city of Jinyang was suddenly boiling, and thousands of residents were running like headless flies, fighting and fighting with each other, and all kinds of madness were indescribable. Whistling, cries, and fights rose into the sky. The few city defense forces could not be suppressed, and even the main force of the defenders guarding the city wall was also 'rioting' and 'chaotic'.
Chi Zao clapped his hands: "Okay! That's exactly what it is! ”
He sneered repeatedly, and said to Wang Min and Gao Huai: "I have a relationship with the general of the escort army, Ling Husheng, and I will persuade you to say a few words." The two patriarchs quickly prepared the things that ignited the fire. If they don't want to surrender, set fire to it! ”
After speaking, Chi Zao strode towards the courtyard, and shouted in the most majestic voice he could embody: "Is it okay to make the old general Linghu!" In Xia Nai is engaged in Chi Zao, there are a few heartfelt words, to be advised to order the old general of the fox ......"
As soon as he shouted half a sentence, the closed big 'door' of the courtyard shattered into thousands of pieces, interrupting Chi Zao's shouting with ten times the volume. Broken wood chips and wood blocks splashed everywhere like a torrential rain, hitting the skin painfully.
Behind the shattered big 'door', a tall figure appeared.
Chi Zao looked at the figure in a daze, and 'gasped' a breath of cold air.
It was a giant with a sturdy body that could only appear in legends. He was unarmoured, naked, and any piece of muscle and flesh on his knotted arms was three points larger than an ordinary person's head. His beard was a tan color, and because he had not been combed for too long, it had been twisted into countless small balls, almost obscuring most of his face.
The courtyard 'door' of the east chamber is as wide as a zhang, enough for four or five people to walk in parallel. However, the giant stood at the 'gate' of the courtyard at random, and his 'fat' waist almost blocked the entire 'gate'. Or use the word 'meat' mountain to better describe his posture. The giant bent down and carefully came out of the 'door' of the courtyard, so as not to hit the lintel of the 'door' with his forehead. Judging by his size, it was obviously effortless to knock the 'door' lintel down.
When he walked out of the courtyard door, everyone noticed that he was holding a huge mace in his right hand. I don't know what material the wolf tooth 'stick' is made of, and the whole body is shining with a metallic luster. The body of the 'stick' is covered with horizontal and vertical spikes, and the spikes are full of dark red 'color' smudges, which proves that this is undoubtedly a murder weapon like a weed.
The giant found that all eyes were focused on the mace in his hand. So he smiled innocently, lifted the mace, and stretched. The sound of the entire Assassin Mansion shook the sky, and you can see life-and-death battles everywhere, but this giant seems to have just woken up.
One of Chi Zao's right-hand men relied on his own strength and cautiously 'pressed' over. Standing about two feet away from the giant, he pointed his gun at him and shouted, "Big man, you are surrounded!" Drop your weapons and surrender on your knees! ”
The giant squinted at him, then swung his mace and struck.
I'm afraid that this big 'stick' doesn't weigh more than 100 pounds, who dares to take it hard? The man with the spear immediately jumped backwards, but he didn't expect the giant's movements to be as fast as lightning, so that the spearman's feet had not yet left the ground, and the black and heavy mace 'stick' hit the head like Mount Tai was overwhelming. Just listen to a muffled sound of popping, how can you stop the skull from shattering? Even most of his body was slapped to shreds.
The dozens of people who formed a fan-shaped encirclement of the giant took half a step backwards in unison, and their footsteps made a "bang" sound. These people are all the 'elite' sharp tribes that the four wealthy families have been entangled for many years, and many of them are still from the Green Forest outlaws, and they have always been fierce and not afraid of death. But the giant was as vicious as a ghost, and it was clear who would go first and who would die, and for a time everyone's hearts were shaken, and no one dared to move forward.
Chi Zao couldn't help but be furious, he personally 'forced' a few steps closer, and shouted with a knife: "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us! Let's go up and kill him! ”
As if in response to him, there was a shout in the courtyard 'door', and dozens of fierce men rushed out together.
This group of people are all 'naked', without armor, and hold weapons of various 'colors' in their hands. Looking at them intently, they were all braided hair, and their expressions were as hideous as ghosts.
Chi Zao's soles were weak, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Xianbei people? ”

A new week has begun, and I wish all readers and friends a happy reading in advance :)
Last week, the red ticket remained in the top 10 of the all-time military category despite running 'naked', which is really encouraging. The crab simply didn't know how to put into words how to express my gratitude. I will never forget your support and encouragement.
In addition, I would like to thank Master Yehui 19938269 for his support, and I believe that this book is worthy of my brother's support.
The writing of the second volume is still going well, and I will try to add a few more chapters this week to repay the favor.
