Chapter 288: Assassination(1/2)
When he was in Bianliang, the civil servants all called the Liao people barbarians, and called the Liao Han people "tiger aides", which was not a good thing. However, Zhang Chao could not distinguish the pure-blooded Liao people in front of him from the barbarians.
Connect the words.
Ye Lujun's dress, especially his conversation and knowledge, are all the best. No matter which aspect, Zhang Chao feels that he is seven or eight blocks ahead of him. Even in the aspect of leading troops to fight, which he is most proud of,
The person in front of me is no less impressive, and can compete with him.
It was obvious that what this guy was talking about was how to find a woman, or how to find a married woman with a wife. How could such a dirty thing come out of his mouth in such a refreshing and refined way?
Zhang Chao suddenly found that he had been led astray by Ye Lujun without even realizing it, and his emotions were actually leaning towards him.
This surprise was no small matter, so he calmed down his mentality and sat upright. This situation was extremely rare for Zhang Chao. As a general who was decisive and determined in killing, he had always been extremely determined and difficult to be shaken by outsiders.
This Yelujun really sat on the throne of the Liao Kingdom and really gave the Song Dynasty a headache.
Zhang Chao thought worriedly.
Looking at Ye Lujun's mouth opposite, he was still chattering about "My Fair Lady". The gentleman was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but feel his head hurt.
At this time, in an ordinary-looking carriage on the side of the official road, Qin Kai also felt a slight pain in his head.
Zhang Chao is cunning enough.
Four carriages that looked exactly the same in appearance were approaching them quickly under the guard of many soldiers. Qin Kai knew very well that he only had one chance to launch. If he missed a hit, he would succeed if he launched again.
The hope is slim.
But which car was Zhang Chao in?
He looked to the other side of the official road. There was also a carriage there, and the driver was staring at him.
Each of the ordinary-looking carriages contained a military crossbow. Of course, the more powerful one was not the crossbow, but the one tied to the crossbow that was tightly tied like a piece of tofu.
thing.
It comes from the Western Army.
It is said that this thing is so powerful that it can tear a city gate as thick as more than a foot into pieces.
As long as you can find which carriage Zhang Chao is riding in, you can blow him up in one fell swoop.
Qin Kai originally thought that Zhang Chao must be riding a horse. Because of this sharp weapon, the crossbow did not need to hit the target. As long as Zhang Chao was within the explosion range, he would be dead.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Chao actually got into the carriage to accompany Ye Lujun.
And because Yelujun always encountered various assassinations along the way, in order to ensure that nothing happened to him within the Song Dynasty, Zhang Chao came up with many ways to cover up Yelujun's traces.
A chaos must be created to introduce the character Zhang Chao.
If the movement is too small, it won't work at all. The movement must be big enough and explosive enough to make Zhang go out.
Qin Kai opened the car door and waved.
After a while, a long snake-like team slowly walked over.
I don't know whether it was the sound of the clash of soldiers or the sound of soldiers shouting to clear the way. On one side of the road, a black mule suddenly neighed, spread its hooves and rushed towards the official road.
"Stop, stop!" the vigilant soldiers standing on both sides of the official road shouted loudly. But the mule seemed to be crazy and rushed over regardless. Above the mule, there was an old man with only one arm.
Holding the mule's neck tightly with one hand, he raised his head and screamed in terror.
"Help, help!"
The soldiers only hesitated for a moment, and the mule passed through the gap between the vigilant soldiers and broke into the official road.
The mule spread its hooves and rushed towards the officers and soldiers on the official road.
Above the official level, there are mostly foot soldiers.
Even for a mule, the momentum of the charge was quite frightening. The soldiers stopped involuntarily, and some even stepped aside.
"Shoot the mule!" an officer shouted sharply.
With the order, the soldiers immediately had a backbone, and dozens of spears were raised in an instant, and they were thrust into the mules from the front, left, and right at the same time.
The running mule was frozen instantly.
The old man on the back of the mule was thrown up by inertia and fell towards the densely formed group of soldiers in front. Several soldiers stretched out their hands, ready to catch the poor old man who was missing an arm.
But at this moment, those with sharp eyes discovered that the old man's chest was actually smoking.
A stream of green smoke came out from the old man's chest, exuding a faint smell of sulfur.
The old man was caught by the soldiers.
But at the next moment, a thunderous explosion sounded from the crowd.
Fire smoke and thick smoke suddenly appeared, screams could be heard endlessly, and severed limbs and arms were flying everywhere.
The vigilant cavalry on both sides of the road were frightened, and their horses jumped wildly with a burst of neighing, knocking off the soldiers who were caught off guard.
Centered on the explosion point, within a few meters, no one was standing anymore. They all fell to the ground. A little further away, a soldier staggered up from the ground, but his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he could not argue.
In the same direction, he turned around a few times, walked a few steps, and fell down again.
Everyone's ears were ringing.
There was chaos at the scene.
As soon as the explosion sound subsided, Zhang Chao had already lifted the curtain and stood on the carriage shaft.
"Be careful!" Yelujun's voice came from behind. Zhang Chao turned around and saw Yelujun also getting out and standing beside him.
"Back off!" Yelujun pulled Zhang Chao and jumped out of the car.
"Prince, get back in the car!" Zhang Chao said.
"Fart!" Yelujun snorted coldly: "If such an assassination hits a carriage, I will die without a burial if I hide in the car."
Yeluxi wanted to kill himself and blame the Song Dynasty. This was not a secret, but Yelujun couldn't figure out what Yeluxi's violent assassination method was.
"It's gunpowder." Zhang Chao said loudly.
"How can gunpowder be so powerful?" Ye Lujun was puzzled. Gunpowder weapons are not rare items whether they are from the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty, but their power can only be said to make people laugh and blow up people's faces.
It's not difficult to pockmark, but it's far from easy to blow someone up!
But now, there was an explosion, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. At the center of the explosion, more than a dozen people were probably dead.
Until this moment, Yelujun still believed that this was an assassination targeting him.
Although he didn't understand what this thing was, Ye Lujun understood that if it exploded in front of the car, his life would be in danger.
What Zhang Chao didn't know was that the moment he stepped forward, his target had been determined.
On both sides of the official road, among the chaotic crowd, two carriages adjusted their angles. As the two carriages stopped, the carriage door opened, and two black crossbows were aimed at Zhang Chao and Yelujun.
The soldiers reacted very quickly. When Ye Lujun and Zhang Chao jumped out of the carriage, several rows of warriors appeared in front of them. Giant shields began to line up around the two of them.
The crossbow arrows shot through the air with a huge whistling sound.
Qin Kai didn't care about the formation of these people at all, he only needed these two crossbow arrows to hit a rough range.
The sparks on the tail of the flying crossbow are so conspicuous and dazzling.
A crossbow arrow hit the carriage, and a crossbow arrow hit the newly formed giant shields.
It has to be said that these crippled old guys who control crossbows are really skilled.
Two loud noises sounded one after another.
This was much stronger than the explosion sound made by the old man riding the mule earlier.
People nearby were shocked and fell to the ground.
The carriage shattered!
The giant shield fell apart.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Everyone was stunned at this moment.
Their eyes turned to the place where they were attacked.
Zhang Chao is there.
Yelujun is there.
If these two people die, the world will be in chaos.
Qin Kai laughed loudly, jumped onto the carriage shaft, shook the horse's reins with both hands, and the two horses dragging the carriage neighed and rushed forward. Along with him, there was another officer from Guandao
The carriage on the side.
The ears of the horses pulling the carriage had been tightly stuffed, and the loud noise outside had no impact on them at all. When the scene was in chaos, they rushed towards the explosion site.
At the same time, bursts of shouting came from a snow forest a little further away, and dozens of war horses jumped out and charged towards this place.
Qin Kai wanted to see Zhang Chao dead with his own eyes.
Qiu Huanshan wanted to see Yelujun's death with his own eyes.
They must be sure of this, even if such actions will make them die here.
