Chapter 115 Action!
After returning to the mountain, Ou Zanghua immediately ordered his soldiers to take action.
Everyone followed the original plan and arrived at the designated location. A row of people stood with their hands on the wall. The disciple of Songshan School who had mastered the light skill made a sprint, and after using the strength of the shoulders of the people in the first row, he placed his hands on the wall and pressed it, and easily climbed up into the wall.
Then he lowered the rope, allowing the rest of the soldiers to climb up the city wall smoothly.
Ou Zanghua brought Zuo Lengchan and other masters to be on guard. Every time a group of people came up, an expert would lead them into the darkness.
According to the plan, the five groups consisting of Qian Zhongyi, Ma Xiaolin, Ding Mian, Lu Bai and Fei Bin were responsible for opening the city gates, the five groups consisting of Gao Kexin, Zhong Zhen, Tang Ying'e, Le Hou and Sima De were responsible for providing cover, and the five groups consisting of Zhao Sihai, Zhang Jingchao, Bu Chen, Sha Tianjiang and Deng Baguo were responsible for creating chaos in the city.
Zuo Lengchan and more than 30 of the most elite Songshan disciples were with Ou Zanghua. Their mission was to attack Huanglong directly and prevent the bandits from escaping when they saw that the situation was hopeless.
Perhaps because it was raining, the rebels were less vigilant.
Ding Mian, Lu Bai and Fei Bin, three masters of Songshan Sect, decisively chose to take action when they saw a group of a dozen rebels patrolling lazily.
The three men attacked at the same time, covered his mouth with a knife, pierced his lungs, and then cut his throat with a backhand knife.
The patrol team heard the noise coming from behind and turned around, which immediately gave the Songshan disciples who were ambushing nearby an opportunity. Several of them rushed out in an instant, covered their mouths, inserted their hands in their chests, and wiped their necks, all in one go.
A patrol team of more than ten people was dealt with in just a few breaths!
The rest of the soldiers jumped out and quickly dragged the body to a yard on the side of the road.
As for the blood, it will be washed away by the rain.
One success was an encouragement to everyone. They moved silently in the rainy night and continued to move closer to the city gate.
Zhao Sihai, Zhang Jingchao, Bu Chen, Sha Tianjiang and Deng Baguo divided their troops into two groups. Bu Chen, Sha Tianjiang and Deng Baguo went to the granary and had to defend it after occupying it.
Zhao Sihai and Zhang Jingchao, based on the map provided by the righteous men, searched for the rebels' arsenal, and when the city was in chaos, they set fire to these things to create even greater chaos.
Ou Zanghua and Zuo Lengchan advanced in the street in the dark. When they were approaching the location of the rebel leader, they found that there were a lot of people there.
Apparently, this group of rebels also noticed that the atmosphere in the city was not right recently, so they gathered a lot of people to protect themselves.
Ou Zanghua observed for a while and found that the area around this small county government office was brightly lit, with at least four teams stationed there. Even though these people looked weak, there were several thousand of them added together, which was not something their small team of more than 30 people could confront head-on.
Not to mention them, among Jin Yong's martial arts heroes, there is only one Yuenu Swordsman Ah Qing who can fight against an army of more than a thousand people.
If any other son of the Golden Chosen came, they would have to kneel.
"Lord Ou, what should we do?" Zuo Lengchan asked solemnly.
With so many rebels, even if one kills each one with a sword, the sword will have to be swung hundreds of times. Even if a person can withstand it, the sword may not be able to withstand it.
"Wait until they become chaotic." Ou Zanghua said calmly.
At the same time, the three teams of Gao Kexin, Zhong Zhen and Tang Ying'e successfully eliminated the rebels who were on guard outside the city gate, and then swung their swords twice towards the distance.
When Qian Zhongyi and Ma Xiaolin's team saw this, they immediately moved forward in the dark. When they were able to see the city gate, they found that this side was strictly controlled. Not only were there countless rebels standing on the city wall, but there were even more under the wall.
"No wonder there are so few rebels patrolling in the city. It turns out they are concentrated here." Ma Xiaolin looked at the rebels patrolling back and forth with a serious expression.
"There are at least two thousand people. Can our five teams break through?" Qian Zhongyi made a rough calculation, and when he saw that the city gate was so heavily guarded, he immediately looked troubled.
"Humph! So what if we have more people?" Ma Xiaolin clenched his sword and said coldly, "Even if it costs me my life, I will avenge Lord Zhou!"
"Of course. Let's approach quietly and remove the ones at the edge first!" Qian Zhongyi smiled, his eyes full of determination.
The two men led the team to sneak over, and used the method taught by Zuo Lengchan, covering the mouth and stabbing the lungs with a knife, and then cutting the throat with a knife. The soldiers behind them quickly dragged the body away and threw it into the yard by the roadside.
But what the soldier didn't expect was that there was actually a traitor using the toilet in this yard.
Hearing the sound coming from outside, he subconsciously shouted: "Who is it?!"
The two soldiers looked at each other, then decisively went in and beat the naked rebel.
After coming out, the two immediately told Qian Zhongyi and Ma Xiaolin the news.
The two men's expressions changed, because they knew very well that people who could handle a lot of shit, piss and fart alone were often the liveliest people in a team and the kind of people who easily attracted other people's attention.
At this moment, a scream was heard from a yard not far away. The rebel general guarding the city gate changed his expression and immediately sent two teams of 100 people to check the situation.
Qian Zhongyi and Ma Xiaolin also turned their heads to look, and saw Tang Ying'e, Le Hou and Sima De standing on the roof. When they saw the rebel group coming, they quickly evacuated.
"Brothers!"
"Good man!"
Qian and Ma couldn't help but shout out excitedly when they saw this scene. They knew that these three people were trying to attract the attention of the rebels.
The two teams continued to grope forward. When they were only thirty feet away from the city gate, a loud shout suddenly came from the other side: "Enemy!"
Before he could finish, his voice suddenly stopped. The rebel general guarding the city gate immediately realized something was wrong and shouted, "Enemy attack! Beat the drum!"
The two rebels immediately rushed up to the drum tower, but before they could knock the drum, there was a flash of cold light, and two flying knives pierced straight into their backs. The two men fell off the drum tower in pain.
Ma Xiaolin turned his head and saw Ding Mian leaping up and disappearing into the rainy night. The rebel general was startled and drew his sword and shouted, "Follow me and shout, the enemy is attacking!"
On the city wall, five hundred rebels shouted at the same time: "Enemy attack!"
The sound spread in all directions, and the rebels who were resting in the city immediately woke up, put on their clothes, picked up their weapons and rushed out.
Qian Zhongyi and Ma Xiaolin's expressions changed, and they shouted angrily: "Charge!"
The two of them took advantage of the fact that the rebel team had not yet formed up and launched a decisive charge.
Seeing this, the three groups of Ding Mian, Lu Bai and Fei Bin immediately took action. They used flying knives to knock down the torches around the city gate, and then used their lightness skills to jump into the rebels. Ding Mian and Lu Bai drew their swords together and killed the rebels before they could react.
"Squat down!" Fei Bin roared, and Ding Mian and Lu Bai squatted down immediately.
The next second, Fei Bin picked up the huge bonfire with his spear and threw it towards the rebels.
With a "bang", the fixed bonfire instantly fell apart and fell among the rebels, burning and scalding a group of people.
Seeing this, Ding Mian and Lu Bai followed suit and threw out another bonfire in the same way.
As the bonfires around the city gate were broken up and the torches were knocked down, the light in the area became much dimmer.
The rebel commander on the city wall shouted, "Shoot these imperial thieves to death!"
The archers on the city wall immediately drew their bows and aimed their arrows downwards, but due to the dim light and the melee between the two sides, they did not dare to shoot for fear of hurting their companions.
"What are you waiting for? Shoot your arrows!" The rebel commander didn't care about his own people at all and directly whipped an archer with a whip.
The archer subconsciously let go, and a sharp arrow flew down and pierced a soldier, causing him to roar in pain.
The other archers saw this and loosened their hands.
Suddenly, hundreds of sharp arrows flew down. Ding Mian, Lu Bai and Fei Bin quickly waved their swords to knock down the arrows.
The three of them looked at each other, and all of them felt like they had energy but nowhere to use it.
At this moment, there was a sound of fighting on the city wall, and many rebels were kicked down before they could react.
The three of them looked up and saw that Tang Ying'e, Le Hou and Sima De had led their respective teams and had climbed up the city wall at some point, fighting with the rebels on top.
The archers' attention was diverted, and Ding Mian, Lu Bai and the other five people immediately felt a lot less pressure.
After Fei Bin killed the two rebels with the Songshan Sword Technique: Jade Dragon from the Sky, he shouted to Qian Zhongyi and Ma Xiaolin beside him: "Go open the city gate! Leave this to me!"
"Okay!" The two men responded, turned around and ran to the city gate, only to find that the dark city gate had long been piled with a large number of stones and wood by the rebels, and they had never thought of entering or exiting from here.
"What should we do?!" Qian Zhongyi asked in panic when he saw this scene.
"Move!" Ma Xiaolin roared, picked up a piece of wood with one hand and threw it out.
Seeing this, Qian Zhongyi decisively led his team of soldiers to join in.
In the darkness, Gao Kexin and Zhong Zhen hid in a private house. Gao Kexin drew his bow and aimed at the rebel guard on the city wall. Zhong Zhen observed the surroundings to prevent others from affecting Gao Kexin.
The next second, Gao Kexin let go, and the arrow flew over a distance of fifty feet and pierced directly into the chest of the rebel general.
"Let's go!" Gao Kexin shouted softly, then he put away his bow and arrow and moved quickly with Zhong Zhen.
Their team of soldiers appeared outside the city gate at this moment, constantly harvesting the rebels who wanted to support the city gate.
Zhong Zhen killed several rebels with one move of Songshan Sword Technique: Die Cui Fu Qing. He couldn't help but wipe the rain off his face and asked, "How many rebels are there?!"
"Haha, didn't the master brother say so? We have an army of 100,000!" Gao Kexin answered with a big laugh after he used the Songshan Seventeen Fast and Slow Sword Techniques to eliminate a dozen rebels.
After hearing this, Zhong Zhen said while resisting the rebels' attacks, "You are just kidding! With an army of 100,000, Lord Ou will take us on this risk?"
"So we were launching a sneak attack!" Gao Kexin killed another rebel with one sword, and said as if it was a matter of course.
Zhong Zhen seized the opportunity to capture a traitor, put a sword on his neck and asked, "How many of you are there?!"
"Die, you dog official!" The traitor stabbed himself in the abdomen with his backhand, a move that meant he would die together with his partner.
Fortunately, Gao Kexin reacted quickly and kicked Zhong Zhen away, otherwise, Zhong Zhen would have been seriously injured or even killed by the stab.
Zhong Zhen flew up like a dragon and couldn't help cursing, "Junior Brother Gao, you idiot, why did you kick me? Kick him instead!"
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry!" Gao Kexin also reacted and explained with a big laugh.
Near the government office, Ou Zanghua and his group were still waiting quietly. As they heard the sound from the city gate, Zuo Lengchan couldn't help but clench his fists. He hoped that his fellow apprentices could achieve great things and also prayed that they could survive.
At this time, a team of a hundred people came running from a distance, obviously to report the situation.
Ou Zanghua's eyes focused, and he rushed out with Zuo Lengchan and his group. The sword light was like a shadow and the air was like a rainbow. The more than 30 teams were agile and successfully intercepted and killed the team.
