Chapter 858 Murder in the Rain (continued)
Fang Jun escorted the seized property back to Huating Town.
He didn't think that his participation in the attack on Gu's manor was of any use. Su Dingfang, Liu Rengui, Liu Renyuan, Xi Junmai, Xue Rengui, etc. were all born famous generals. When it came to the ability to march and fight and form troops, it was difficult to do it by himself. and.
A layman cannot guide an expert. The authority of a leader is not reflected by interfering with the abilities of his subordinates. The best leaders do not need to know everything. As long as they can "make the best use of their talents", place the right people in the right positions and provide the greatest support possible, that is enough.
Travelers have golden fingers, but they cannot understand everything.
Show off your military qualities in front of Su Dingfang and others?
Haha...
There is no need for him to charge into battle. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. How miserable would it be if that soldier shot a cold arrow and killed him? Fang Jun was not that afraid of death, but he thought it was worthless to die like this.
His value should not lie on the battlefield, like the two raids by Turkic wolf cavalry in the Western Regions. This should be avoided as much as possible in the future.
Floating on the boat for two consecutive days, and caught up in the storm, the feeling of being dizzy in the cabin is definitely not pleasant. The ship docked, and Fang Jun supervised the soldiers to move all the captured goods into several warehouses on the dock. It was already dawn.
The rain kept falling, and Fang Jun felt that he was getting more and more sleepy. He quickly took the soldiers and guards and took a carriage back to the house in the backyard of the town office, planning to take a hot bath and have a good sleep.
The moment he got off the carriage to relax physically and mentally and planned to speed up and enter the town office, a dangerous assassination suddenly came!
The two life-threatening crossbow arrows that passed through the rain curtain were like ghosts that suddenly came from hell to the world. With an indomitable momentum, the arrow clusters shattered the raindrops. One went straight to the throat, and the other shot to the chest and abdomen.
Several guards wearing bamboo hats were obviously not mediocre people. They were extremely alert and noticed the crossbow arrows shot in the rain. They remained calm in the face of danger. First they sounded a warning, and then they pulled out the horizontal knives at their waists almost at the same time. A bright beam of light lit up, and their bodies jumped up together. Several people divided the work and cooperated. Some went to chop the crossbow arrows in the air, while others immediately used their bodies to block the young man in the suit. Some rushed towards the shop where the crossbow arrows were shot.
At the moment when the personal guards activated, Gu Zhu and Wu Duohai were like two cheetahs suddenly jumping out of the grass to hunt. Amidst the debris of the broken windows in the sky, the two jumped out, one after another. From left to right, he pounced on the two guards who were coming to kill him.
Behind them, a dozen masters also held swords in their hands and charged towards them without saying a word.
The raging murderous aura filled the long street, and the wind and rain in the sky became even more unstable and chaotic due to the strong murderous aura!
The two guards rushed toward the direction of the crossbow arrows, but they didn't seem to expect the assassin to come out on his own initiative. They were caught off guard, and a sword flashed before their eyes. One of them screamed miserably, and was hit in the face by Wu Duohai's knife. He fell to the ground with a splash. A shower of rain. Wu Duohai's figure did not stop, he soared into the air, his sword was sharp, like a falcon on a rainy night, pounced on Fang Jun, who was like a prey in the eyes of a falcon!
Another guard wanted to intercept Wu Duohai, but was struck by Gu Zhu's sword and had to raise his sword to block. There was a dull sound of gold and iron, and the guard felt an inescapable and powerful force that made his arms numb. In panic, his throat had been cut off by the masters who came out from behind Gu Zhu.
The hot blood spattered, but before it hit the ground, it was diluted by the pouring rain and turned into a thin pool of blood.
The body fell heavily to the ground.
The speed of the crossbow arrows was so fast that the guard who drew his sword to intercept the crossbow arrows struck the air with his sword. In an instant, the two crossbow arrows pierced the body of the guard who was blocking Fang Jun's body.
"Peng"
The crossbow arrow was simmered with poison that sealed the throat with blood. The guard who was hit by the arrow only had time to let out a miserable groan before he fell to the ground and was instantly killed.
The remaining guards' eyes were splitting as they shouted: "Master Marquis, leave quickly!"
Waving his sword and risking his life, he rushed forward to intercept Wu Duohai, who was already charging like a cheetah, and gave Fang Jun even the slightest chance to escape.
Wu Duohai rushed over wildly and struck a guard on the left with his knife. Then he dwarfed and slipped two feet away. His left hand turned into a claw. His ape arm suddenly reached out and grabbed a guard's arm with one claw. With only a slight exertion on the neck, there was a creaking sound, and the neck bones on the guard's neck suddenly shattered, and his head drooped softly.
Wu Duohai's burly figure stood proudly in the wind and rain. He killed several people in a row with just a few gestures. He was ferocious and violent, like a demon god coming to the world!
Fang Jun has never encountered such a dangerous situation!
Even when faced with a shocking cavalry raid by the Turkic Wolf Cavalry, there was still enough time to arrange arrangements and ease the fear. But everything happened suddenly. When he came to his senses, all the guards around him were dead!
Fang Jun's eyes were red. His first reaction was to draw out the horizontal knife from his waist and wanted to rush forward to fight alongside the guards! These guards are all generals he brought from his home in Guanzhong, and they are all loyal. Fang Jun always treats them like brothers and sisters, and they have never been distinguished from masters and servants in the slightest!
But now, in order to protect himself, one by one died brutally. How could Fang Jun survive alone?
He is afraid of death, but he is also bloody!
It is not shameful to fear death, but it would be shameful to abandon your comrades and brothers!
Unexpectedly, just as he drew out the horizontal sword, the last two guards shouted wildly: "Master Hou, leave quickly!" While shouting, they jumped towards Wu Duohai who was rushing at the front, even if there was only one way to die against this highly skilled assassin. , I have to use my own life to buy even a little time, so that Fang Jun can escape through the gate of the town office!
The assassination at the door has been discovered in the town office. There are noisy people and footsteps inside the door. It only takes a moment to rush out to protect Fang Jun!
But how could Fang Jun listen?
With a ferocious look on his face, he rushed out!
Wu Duohai was really afraid that Fang Jun would run into the gate of the town office behind him. The noise inside the door was getting louder and louder. It was obvious that many people were coming. If Fang Jun was protected, the assassination would probably fail.
He was heartbroken and stabbed the guard in front of him into the chest with the sword in his hand, completely ignoring the sword that the other guard struck at his neck! He looked over the shoulders of the guard in front of him with a pair of hateful eyes. When he saw that Fang Jun not only did not run away, but instead accelerated towards him, he was immediately ecstatic.
Is this idiot going to stage a drama of fighting side by side with his bodyguards and never abandoning them? He is a person who values friendship, but it is a pity that you and I have deep hatred. I will not give up until I cut off your head today!
Behind him, Gu Zhu rushed over quickly and easily blocked the knife that struck Wu Duohai's neck.
A ferocious smile appeared on Wu Duohai's face, and he wanted to pull out the horizontal knife from the chest and abdomen of the guard in front of him, and then kill Fang Jun!
But he drew the knife, but it didn't move...
The guard in front of him used his last strength to rush forward, piercing all the sharp knives into his body. He opened his arms and took advantage of the moment when Wu Duohai was shocked by his steadfastness to hug him. He grabbed Wu Duohai's neck and bit his ear.
Wu Duohai was really shocked by this guard.
Being cruel to others is nothing, but being cruel to yourself is truly cruel!
This guard would rather have his body penetrated by a knife than to entangle himself!
Wu Duohai was in a trance for a moment, and then he was caught off guard and hugged his neck. Then his ears felt hot first, then a sharp pain, and he was actually bitten by this guard! The two people's bodies were tightly pressed together, and the horizontal knife came out from the guard's back. Wu Duohai couldn't pull the knife out. He endured the severe pain in his ears and tried to push the guard away. Suddenly, the two of them His eyes suddenly opened wide.
Fang Jun had already gritted his teeth and rushed over. The horizontal knife in his hand thrust forward and passed right through the guard's ribs, and was violently thrust into Wu Duohai's lower abdomen. The tip of the knife entered the body from bottom to top, and Fang Jun twisted it hard again...
Wu Duohai let out an earth-shattering roar, suddenly exerted force, pushed away the guard who was hugging him tightly, raised his foot and stabbed Fang Jun's lower abdomen hard before he could draw the knife. Fang Jun groaned in pain, his body flew out and fell to the rain-covered ground, splashing a cloud of rainwater.
Gu Zhu rushed up from behind, not caring about Wu Duohai's life or death, and slashed at Fang Jun who was struggling to get up!
There will be another chapter later. Of course, you can read it again tomorrow morning. Don’t stay up late.
