Chapter 248 Anguo Assassin
Xing Xiuyan is in the town of Shenglong City, but he thinks that the south has just experienced a new round of war, and the Anguo people have been beaten to pieces, and it is always time to stop at this time.Moreover, Thang Long City is already in the hinterland of North Vietnam.
However, that night, some Annan assassins still sneaked into the vicinity of Thang Long City, and set fire to two warehouses where food and grass were piled up and a gun/powder depot.
The fire was so bright that it alarmed Xing Xiuyan in the original palace. She put on her clothes and was about to rush to the accident site to check.
The Xiao family also lived in the palace and rushed over in alarm, and couldn't help being very worried.Xing Xiuyan didn't have time to explain to them, she just said: "Yuanyuan, Pan'er, you should stay in the palace too."
Tu Yuanyuan said: "Captain, I don't want it, I will follow you to help."
Xing Xiuyan said solemnly: "This is a military order!"
As she said that, she left with the guards from Jinyiwei. Tu Yuanyuan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Daiyu: "Princess, there must be a reason for your mother to let you stay."
Tu Yuanyuan cried, "But I'm worried about my mother, these Anguo monkeys can do anything."
Daiyu actually knew in her heart that Da Zhou probably killed more people, and now she is also occupying people's original land.But now the queen is playing the banner of "recovering the homeland", because Annan was not independent before the Song Dynasty, but was only a county of the Central Plains Dynasty.
"Recovering the homeland" not to mention the strong support of the Sichuan army and civilians and the natives in the south, even those who have read poetry and books in the court have nothing to say.
National affairs are no longer measurable by ordinary moral standards. Daiyu understands that her sister stands at her height, and there are reasons for doing so.
Daiyu said: "There are so many people protecting the empress, and the empress herself is very skilled in martial arts. When the princess is gone, she will be distracted to protect you."
……
When Xing Xiuyan arrived near the fire/powder storehouse, the city defense army of Shenglong City had already arrived.Xing Xiuyan invited Yang Tianbao, commander of the city defense army, to question him.
Xing Xiuyan arranged for people to strictly guard the remaining warehouses, and mobilized the militia to investigate spies and saboteurs across the country.
Hearing that the dog guarding the fire/powder warehouse ate badly today, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help becoming suspicious, and asked two people from Jinyiwei to investigate.
The staff on duty of the Pingnan Army guarding the warehouses change their passwords every day. There are alarm bells around the warehouses, and there are some traps on the outside. There is also a carefully selected Chinese pastoral dog in each warehouse.Xing Xiuyan came up with some insidious and meticulous methods, which are to prevent people from attacking at night.This method solved many Annan saboteurs in the early stage.
She was rushing to the grain and grass warehouse, but saw a distress signal in the direction of the palace.
Xing Xiuyan's heart felt cold: No good, tune the tiger away from the mountain.
And she, the master, left the palace, and those who stayed in Annan's palace...
Thinking about it carefully, she hurriedly mobilized half of the city defense force, ordered some soldiers and civilians of Shenglong City to be recruited, and led the way back to the former palace.
The queen took half of the guards directly under her to the warehouse, and the remaining half was also temporary, not on duty.
But he didn't expect some black-clothed assassins to appear suddenly in the palace, and the guards also lost many people due to carelessness.
The assassins assembled to confront the guards, and released some poisonous snakes and insects to destroy them. Although the guards all had fire/guns, they couldn't use fire/guns to fight snakes and insects, right?If so, they will have to accept the opponent's bow and arrow attack again.
Because the queen left, Tu Yuanyuan waited with Xiao's family, and was not in the mood to sleep. He was shocked when he learned that assassins had poured into the palace.
She was about to go to the confrontation place ahead, Madam Nie held her firmly and said, "Princess, don't go, if something happens to you, what will the empress do?"
Tu Yuanyuan was also afraid in her heart, she knew martial arts, but even if she had seen Xue Sheng, she was always by her mother's side.No matter what happens, she has her mother to give her strength.
Tu Yuanyuan hesitated for a while, but still clenched the Mo Dao tightly, and said, "Princess Da Zhou who is not shrunken!"
The more afraid of death on the battlefield, the faster you die.
Tu Yuanyuan got up and rushed forward, followed by the princess' bodyguards, Xiao Pan'er called out: "Sister Yuanyuan, let's go together."
Tu Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Okay!"
Mrs. Nie was very worried about Xiao Pan'er, but she didn't dare to leave here with her husband, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
……
Wu Junxiong is the third-rank general of Annan Kingdom, and he married the youngest daughter of the Lord Zheng.At this time, the two countries were red-eyed, and if An Nanguo wanted to survive, he had to have a code in hand.There was a half-blocked tunnel in the original palace of Annan Kingdom, only the royal family knew about it. At this time, spies sneaked into North Vietnam to open up this tunnel.
They absolutely cannot afford to lose the large tracts of land in North Vietnam.If the Queen of Zhou was captured alive as a threat, the war would be over.
Although An Nanguo paid a terrible price, with the Queen of Da Zhou in hand, the lost land can still be brought back, and the Da Zhou people who have taken root in this land can be driven out.
This is their only chance.
The bodyguards surrounded Tu Yuanyuan and Xiao Pan'er to the place where the battle took place, and Madam Nie also followed.
Fighting body could be heard from a distance, this group of Queen's Guard Battalion personnel from Jinyiwei had already fought with Anguo Assassin.Be careful of venomous snakes and insects under your feet.
Tu Yuanyuan and Xiao Pan'er are girls, they are afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants, but they are all people who have practiced martial arts since childhood.In addition to the internal strength taught by her father, Tu Yuanyuan also practiced the "snake poking sword technique" of her mother.When I saw the poisonous snake on the ground, my heart was trembling, but this was not the time to back down, so I pulled out the Mo Dao (a slender knife, a bit like a Japanese sword) and accurately stabbed the two poisonous snakes nearby to death.
Xiao Pan'er was not afraid of seeing the princess. She was raised by her grandmother since she was a child, and cut a poisonous snake into three pieces with a Mo Dao.After this real action, the most fearful moment in my heart has passed.
In fact, these Annan people were trying to make a fool of themselves, causing the warehouse fire to attract the attention of tens of thousands of city defense troops and militia troops.Then more than 300 people took the opportunity to sneak into the palace through a secret entrance to capture the queen alive, because the gathering of so many people in North Vietnam was easy to be discovered by the militia.
But they didn't expect that the queen would personally lead the troops out of the palace because of this.But when they broke into the Queen's bedroom, there was no one there, and then they encountered people from the guard battalion.
However, Tu Yuanyuan found out that the assassins might have been smeared with anti-snake and insect medicine, and the snakes and insects would not attack them, so all the guards had to fight head-on and distracted from their feet.
More than [-] people have died at the scene, and the smell of blood spreads, which is almost disgusting.
Fighting is not an option, we have to wait for the Queen's regular soldiers to return. After all, the Anguo people sneaked in secretly, and the number of them was only a few hundred at most.
Tu Yuanyuan thought to himself: The queen mother said that the most important thing to do is to seize the opportunity to use the army.At this time, the opponent wanted to attack them by force, and they were anxious about time.At this time, they were going all out on the battlefield and interfering with poisonous snakes and insects. This is the opportunity for the Anguo people, but it is not the best opportunity for our army.It is not cost-effective to fight them now, but I think the guards have been in the palace for a long time and are familiar with the terrain, so if it is difficult to fight now, they will run away to preserve their strength.When the mother comes back, it will be Da Zhou's fighter, and none of these people will live.
So Tu Yuanyuan asked the battalion commander to organize a retreat. The battalion commander was originally from Jinyiwei, and he was still in awe of the princess, so he quickly ordered.
But he also let a row of elite soldiers back to protect the princess, and said in a round way: "I'll be with you, don't talk nonsense."
In fact, Tu Yuanyuan had never killed anyone, but she went to the battlefield to supervise the battle after accompanying her mother, and she had seen dead people, and she had already passed the period of extreme fear of death.
Although the guard battalion also sacrificed more than [-] people, when they took this group of assassins around the palace, they lost any advantage at all.
After Wu Junxiong was led around a palace twice, he summed up his experience and quickly divided his troops to stop the robbery.
The guard battalion commander heard the footsteps changed and saw through his plan. Tu Yuanyuan listened and said with a smile: "Good opportunity! Turn around and beat them, now I am strong and the enemy is weak."
"good idea!"
The battalion commander immediately ordered the second and third platoons to prepare firecrackers, and the others to draw their knives. Wu Junxiong's more than 200 people chased them down and found that they had not escaped.
He was always in the "attack" position, so he didn't react and ordered to retreat, so he was attacked by more than [-] firecrackers. When he was frightened, the guard battalion drew his sword and came up to "stab".
At this time, there were no snakes and insects on the ground, and the Annan people's "blast" dispersed, and the number was small, and the killing was bloody and scattered.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" "conspiracy to attack" says: Ten is to encircle, five is to attack, double is to fight, and the enemy is to divide.
But it also depends on the situation. The opponent's strength is originally equal to theirs. It turns out that forming a force of horns is a way.But when the opponent has not yet formed horns—those detours have not yet arrived, unable to form a pincer attack, then the fighter opportunity will instead be in his hands, and he will fight it when he is doubled.
Although the people of Anguo can plan sneak attacks, maybe jungle guerrilla is still possible, but their tactics are poor, so the Pingnan Army's away game sweep of the opponent is not just because of the sharpness of the firearms, but because they are really incompetent in comparison.In his previous life, Tu Yuanyi was so hard to beat the hot-headed Annan people, let alone now.
Tu Yuanyuan said again: "Everyone rush over together!"
The morale of the guards was greatly shaken, and they rushed over like wolves and tigers. The Anguo people had just been beaten by firecrackers, and the number of them was small, so many people were timid.
After the people from the guard battalion rushed over, although some were injured, more Annan people died.At this time, they turned to Mrs. Xiao and Daiyu's palace.
Xiao Pan'er came up to meet her and said, "Princess, luckily you are fine."
Tu Yuanyuan said: "Those people will probably come after them, everyone cheer up."
Daiyu saw the blood on Tu Yuanyuan's face, although she was kind-hearted and afraid of blood, she went over to wipe it for her and asked, "Princess, you are hurt."
"Second aunt, it's not my blood."
Daiyu looked at her face similar to that of Xing Xiuyan, but remembering that she lived in her house at that age, she couldn't help saying: "The princess has grown up too."
"Don't be afraid, Second Aunt, we will protect you."
Daiyu was not so afraid, when she was kidnapped by the police, she was a "monster", and she was only surrounded by her sister who was also trapped, so it is better now than then.
But seeing a signal coming from the gate of the East Palace, Xiao Paner said happily: "It should be reinforcements coming! Princess, restore the original plan."
Tu Yuanyuan said: "Although there are not many things, it is still your kindness."
At this moment, the people from Annan chased after her. Xiao Pan'er looked at Mrs. Nie and said, "Grandmother, please excuse me."
Madam Nie smiled wryly, she was wearing the queen's uniform, then Xiao Pan'er, Nie Mingyuan and others protected her, and Tu Yuanyuan sent two platoons of soldiers to obey Xiao Pan'er's orders.
Tu Yuanyuan then ordered the battalion commander to do the same.
