Chapter 288 Night Attack(1/3)
The moon is dim and the chirping insects are chirping.
The night breeze was blowing, and I was startled by the whistling sounds of the willow trees by the Ba River. The river was leisurely under the willow trees, and a night bird flew across the water, causing a wave of fright, and suddenly darted into the willow branches and disappeared.
Deep in the dense willow trees, a manor stood silent and motionless, like a sleeping beast. Occasionally, someone passed by holding a torch, as if on inspection, adding a bit of mystery to the manor.
A head suddenly poked out from under a big willow tree, its eyes as cold as the moon, and instantly locked onto the two people walking towards them. The two people were dressed in black, and they were not lighting torches, but carrying a knife. They suddenly stopped, confused.
He looked around, as if he was alert, and continued to move forward uneasily.
Suddenly, two figures came out of the darkness, like cheetahs attacking by surprise. One person at a time, they broke the necks of the two men in black and dragged their bodies into the willow forest.
The first person who stuck his head out to check smiled. It was Qin Huaidao who led the team. After this period of crazy training, everyone's lurking ability has greatly improved. Even in cooperation with night battles, their sneak attack methods have also improved a lot. I am very pleased.
He made a gesture, and a series of black shadows touched him.
A group of two, one in front, holding the short knife in reverse, sneak attack after discovering the target lurking in the dark, wipe out the neck with one knife, the technique is clean and neat, one person in the back, holding the crossbow level, following the cover, finding the fish that slips through the net, decisively attack
Kill and make sure not to be exposed.
Qin Huaidao did not take action and allowed the people below to perform, just to test their combat strength. He was a little surprised when he saw many secret sentries lurking along the way. These people were much more cautious than expected.
The team advanced all the way and soon came to the vicinity of the manor. Xue Rengui played some tactical sign language, which was also taught by Qin Huaidao some time ago. The group of people quickly dispersed and went around the back of the manor from both sides. They continued to eliminate the remnants lurking around and ensured that
No one escaped, and the rest stared warily in the direction of the door.
Qin Huaidao did not give any orders and relied entirely on Xue Rengui's command. He observed calmly, but Luo Ying was shocked. Luo Ying did not participate in the last training and did not understand tactical sign language. Seeing Xue Rengui making a few incomprehensible gestures, the team actually received instructions.
General action, very curious, looked at Qin Huaidao, wanted to ask, but held back.
After a while, Xue Rengui made a few moves and moved forward with his big hands.
A small team rushed up quickly and advanced in column. The three people in the front were holding repeating crossbows and aimed forward. The four people in the middle, in groups of two, aimed at the two wings. There were three people behind, advancing alternately, but aiming behind them. The ten people were like one
As a whole, it moves forward like a ghost, blocking all angles.
This small team advancement tactic was also taught by Qin Huaidao and copied from the special tactics of later generations, except that the rifle was replaced by a repeating crossbow. Soon, the team came to the door and hid against the wall. The door was blocked with crossbars from the inside, making it impossible to hit it.
Open it, and hitting it hard will expose it.
One person leaned his back against the wall, squatted down, and placed his hands on his abdomen alternately, while the other person stepped on his palms. The two of them used force almost at the same time, and their bodies rushed up, clinging to the wall without moving, looking inside cautiously, and quickly turned over and entered.
Not long after, the heavy door opened from the inside, and the small team filed in, silently, like the ghost of death, and quickly disappeared.
Xue Rengui looked calm and raised his hand again. Two teams, one on the left and one on the right, quickly advanced in column.
After waiting for a moment, Xue Rengui rushed in with the remaining people.
Luo Ying was so excited that she couldn't help but said: "Uncle, they seem to be different."
"Stop talking nonsense and go in." Qin Huaidao saw that everyone was doing well and was in a good mood, so he hurried forward.
Luo Ying quickly followed and looked around cautiously.
Entering the gate is a courtyard, with three corpses lying on the ground. Ahead is a hall, passing through the hall. There are also two corpses lying at the door. The torch fell on the ground. Qin Huaidao stepped forward. There were some sundries placed in the hall and passed through.
It was a courtyard, and several bodies fell on the ground.
As we walked forward, we came to the second courtyard without realizing it. There were rockeries, flowing water, and flowers clustered in clusters, which looked hazy like an ink painting under the moonlight. There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
The two continued to move forward, and there were obviously more corpses. They were either shot with crossbows or killed with a knife. Unconsciously, they came to the third courtyard. When they reached the door of the main hall, Xue Rengui hurried over, with excitement in his eyes and a low voice.
He said: "Young Master, most of the people are sleeping in the room. The brothers got in and stabbed them one by one. They have already reached the backyard."
"Let's go and have a look." Qin Huaidao walked through the main hall and came to the backyard.
The backyard is usually where the owner lives. Qin Huaidao saw that the brothers have not messed up after fighting, and they can still keep moving forward as a small team as a combat unit. Keeping in mind the importance of team fighting, they are no longer a mob, and they are in a good mood, but they are not in a hurry.
forward.
Luo Ying saw that he had nothing to do with him all the way, and his hands were itchy, so he whispered: "Brother Xue, protect your uncle, I will go and take a look." Without waiting for Xue Rengui's consent, he rushed in with a knife.
The sneak attack was carried out quietly, and the advanced fighting concepts and methods crushed the opponent and massacred them one-sidedly.
Qin Huaidao came to a small courtyard in the backyard and looked around. It turned out to be a martial arts training ground. There were eighteen kinds of weapons and stone locks placed next to it. Suddenly he heard the sounds of fighting and angry roars inside. Apparently someone had discovered it in advance.
Danger, give Xue Rengui a look.
Xue Rengui nodded knowingly, signaled a small team to stay behind for protection, and rushed in.
Not long after, a group of people came out, holding torches and holding one person captive. His hands had been removed and dislocated. His forehead was covered in cold sweat in pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He was a man.
Luo Ying was stabbed, but the injury was not serious. Qin Huaidao went up to take a look, and after making sure that there was nothing serious, he asked: "Why are you so careless?"
"No, this person is very powerful." Luo Ying said depressedly.
"Okay, let's find some medicine to deal with it." Qin Huaidao said and came to the prisoner, looked up and down, and asked coldly: "How long can we chat?"
"Who are you?" the other party shouted angrily.
The sound was like thunder. Qin Huaidao took a few steps back, distanced himself and said: "Don't waste your efforts. It's useless to be loud. Dozens of patrols have been killed, and those who were resting in the room have also been killed. The only one who is still alive is
You are alone and no one is coming to save you."
"How is it possible, Five Hundred Elites, who are you?" the other party asked angrily.
"I am the person you want to kill. Tell me, who are you?"
The other party looked at Qin Huai and said, "If you don't know me, why did you attack me?"
"There's no need to continue the conversation if you pretend to be stupid." Qin Huaidao didn't bother to ask any more questions and said to Xue Rengui, "One team will guard the perimeter, one team will guard the door, and the rest will do a last-ditch search."
"Understood." Xue Rengui immediately made arrangements and the team took action again.
Qin Huaidao picked up an iron rod from the weapon rack, which weighed fifty or sixty kilograms. He waved it twice easily and said indifferently: "I don't like to force confessions, and I don't like to say the same thing twice. Now I ask, you
answer."
"Why should I tell you?" the other party yelled, squeezing his neck.
"Boom!" Qin Huaidao hit the opponent's knee with an iron rod.
The other party screamed and fell to his knees, unable to get up and throbbing in pain.
Qin Huaidao said indifferently: "You have raised five hundred killers privately. According to Tang law, you will be punished for a certain crime. You deserve to die."
"Are you from the imperial court?" The other party was shocked.
"Finally enlightened, tell me, who are you?" Qin Huaidao stared at the other party, as if he might explode at any time.
The other party roared angrily: "What about the court? The court cannot break into private houses and kill innocent people."
"You have raised five hundred dead soldiers privately. This is not a private house, but a den of rebellion." Qin Huaidao said coldly, and stabbed the opponent's toes hard with the big iron rod.
"ah--"
The other party screamed, feeling his toes smashed, and his fingers connected to his heart. How could he bear it? The corners of his eyes twitched in pain, and he realized that the person in front of him was different from other imperial officials. He didn't know how to speak benevolently and righteously.
The ruthless master with a dead hand cannot be offended, so he lowers his head.
"Don't want to say it?" Qin Huaidao asked indifferently. Seeing that the other party was silent, he suddenly lost interest: "If you don't want to say it, then stop saying it and kill him. There's no hope of asking anything."
"I'll do it." Luo Ying happened to come over. He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, so he drew his knife and was about to chop.
The other party unexpectedly underestimated the ruthlessness of the person in front of him. Since raising a dead soldier privately is tantamount to rebellion, he should not be taken away, thrown into a prison, and beheaded after trial? Why do he do it now?
Who in the world is not afraid of death?
Being strong, domineering, and fierce is just a disguise for fear of death.
Seeing that the sharp knife was about to cut off, the man panicked completely and shouted quickly: "Wait a minute!"
"Buzz——"
The blade fell, cutting off the hair, but stopped on the opponent's neck, cutting the skin, and a trace of blood spilled out. If it was one o'clock in the night, he would be dead.
The other party was frightened for a while, feeling as if they had just escaped from the gate of hell, and said quickly: "I am the martial arts instructor invited by the Fan Yang Lu family to teach them the way of assassination."
"So you are a killer?" Qin Huaidao asked.
The other party nodded quickly: "I don't know anything. I just work for money and I haven't done any evil."
Qin Huaidao was happy: "You are a killer, but you actually said you didn't do any evil?"
The other party lowered his head and remained silent. Qin Huaidao continued: "Where are the people from the Fan Yang Lu family?"
"Let me explain and leave. Let me concentrate on training and wait for orders."
"Are you from Fengyu Tower?" Qin Huaidao asked. Seeing a flash of surprise in the other person's eyes, although he concealed it well, he continued: "Tell me, where is the Fengyu Tower stronghold?"
"I don't know, I'm not from Fengyulou." The other party said quickly.
"Don't want to say it?" Qin Huaidao stared at the other party, his eyes as cold as a knife, with an aura that could see through people's hearts: "Excalibur Villa, right?"
A trace of panic flashed across the other party's eyes again, and he lowered his head.
Qin Huaidao had a promise in his heart and continued: "Give me a reason to let you live, otherwise, die!"
"You -" The other party was shocked and looked at Qin Huai angrily: "You and I have no grievances and I have cooperated with your questioning. Why do you need to kill them all? If you kill me, Fan Yanglu will definitely not let you go."
"I won't let you go unless I kill you. This threat is not enough."
The other party was confused and said hurriedly: "I can serve you, I can fight, and I am good at assassination."
"Lei Wu, who are you?" Qin Huaidao suddenly changed the subject.
