Chapter 955: Escape from Zhuozhou City

"Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish swish..." A dense cold arrow flew out of the armory like raindrops. The Liao army in front of the door was completely unprepared and was immediately hit one after another, screaming in a group. If it weren't for the desperate efforts of several soldiers to rescue each other, Xiao Sixun would have been injured.

His face was even more difficult to see. Not only did someone enter the armory first, but he also got a crossbow. This time, it was really miscalculated and extremely dangerous. No matter who was hidden in the warehouse, since he had taken action, there was no reason to give up halfway!

Xiao Sixun finally hadn't completely lost his mind. After making a quick judgment, he decisively ordered: "Retreat! Leave here first and go from the north!" This time he completely decided to leave Zhuozhou City because there was no chance of him using his strategic means here, and there were enemies everywhere. It can be said that his entire plan here has failed, and he can only hope to meet with the elite troops from the Liao Dynasty who came south and then come back to find the situation.

After receiving his order, the Liao soldiers did not hesitate at all. While waving their swords and guns to block the flying arrows, they protected Xiao Sixun and quickly retreated, running towards the dark street in front of them.

Finally, they saw the opportunity quickly. The enemy in the warehouse looked at it and had no intention of chasing it, which allowed the remaining twenty Liao troops to escape. However, many of them were injured in arrows, which was really in a very embarrassing way. The only thing that is thankful is that there are no dead people, and the North Gate is already in sight.

However, what Xiao Sixun and others didn't know was that at this time, more than a dozen Qingzhou soldiers in the armory were also scared at this time. They were not relieved until they saw them turn the corner and go away. But everyone still dared not relax their vigilance. While hiding in the corner, they aimed the crossbow forward.

Yes, there are only more than a dozen Qingzhou soldiers here. They came to seize the armory on Sun Tu's order. Because even Sun Tu couldn't guarantee that Dong Kuang would really seize the military power at once, so for the sake of safety, it was better to take down the most important part of the city first. Moreover, because he was worried about being exposed in advance, Guo Yaoshi was prepared, so he did not even let Dong Kuang transfer troops from the East Gate Military Camp but directly used his subordinates.

This move is indeed enough to take risks, after all, they are only a dozen people. If there weren't many defenders here and they were completely unprepared, they wouldn't be able to easily take them down. And the Liao people, who had long become frightened birds, dared not take risks with arrows and attacked them hard, and could not see how many enemies there were, and finally made their plan successful.

When the Qingzhou soldiers continued to lurk in the dark and guard the gate of the armory, Xiao Sixun had already rushed to the long street in front of the north gate and met the Changsheng Army who had just heard the sound and ran out of the military camp.

This was a bit embarrassing. In Xiao Sixun's plan, he planned to set fire to the armory to attract the defenders from the north gate to leave and put out the fire, and then he could easily lead his subordinates to leave the city. But now, because there are people guarding the armory, there are also fighting in the city, and they are just colliding with the defenders who want to enter the city to investigate the situation.

What to do? Many people looked at their leaders with anxiety. Even though the Liao army was brave and good at fighting, they had no chance of winning when they faced dozens of people against thousands of troops. Xiao Sixun's expression also changed several times in this moment. Finally, he cheered up and straightened his chest to meet him.

The Changsheng Army on the opposite side was also confused. Seeing dozens of them approaching, many of them subconsciously raised their weapons. The general in charge even asked loudly: "Who are you? Now my Zhuozhou is implementing a curfew, and idle people are not allowed to walk around..."

"I ambassador Xiao Sixun, the ambassador of Liao Kingdom, just got news and had a change in the front line, so he was in a hurry to leave Zhuozhou." Xiao Sixun could only give this reason for evasion for a moment, but looking at his solemn appearance, it really made people believe it.

"You are leaving now? Do you have a general's order?"

"Didn't you see it? Now that you are in trouble in Zhuozhou City, Guo Yaoshi has no time to take care of us!" Xiao Sixun said, and suddenly took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Why, are you suspicious of us, or are you planning to capture me, the envoy and subordinates, on the spot?"

A terrifying aura suddenly suppressed the soldiers in front of him, which made the soldiers in front of him panic, and the general waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I dare not..." Guo Yaoshi had warned the people below not to have any conflicts with the envoys of the three parties. In addition, the Changsheng Army had suffered several great pains at the hands of the Liao army, and had long been afraid of the Liao people. In this way, they naturally became three points shorter in front of Xiao Sixun, the Liao envoy.

Seeing this, Xiao Sixun was even more at ease and shouted again: "Then let the road open, and then ask someone to open the north gate and let me leave Zhuozhou. Now your Changsheng Army is too busy to take care of yourself and has no intention of surrendering to my Daliao again. Then let it go as far as you said before."

This made the general feel embarrassed again. He really didn't dare to be this master. But the other party didn't give him too much time to think, and shouted again: "Why, do you still want to stop me from leaving? You didn't see that there was still chaos in the back, which had nothing to do with me. In addition-" Speaking of this, he drew out his sword and pointed directly: "If you are brave enough, you will kill all of me and dozens of people here, but you can't stop me from waiting!"

This made the general and the soldiers in the rear feel even more difficult: "Envoy Liao, this matter..."

Before he could say anything, the Liao people drew their swords in their hands, completely ignoring the number of the always-winning army in front of them dozens of times that of their own, and rushed forward fearlessly. Because he knew very well that there was not much time left for himself to escape, and if he missed this opportunity, he would be dead. Then it would be better to take advantage of his remaining power and break out of Zhuozhou City.

Sure enough, when facing the tough attitude of the Liao people, the thousands of ever-victorious troops retreated from top to bottom, and subconsciously made a passage to allow them to pass through calmly. The general in charge could only comfort himself by following the military orders of General Guo, with a complicated look, watching the Liao people pass through the team and head straight to the north gate.

Even if they were not stopped by the Changsheng Army, Xiao Sixun and the others did not dare to slack off at all. They walked in a hurry and soon arrived at the still closed city gate. At this moment, the two hundred soldiers left there were also looking at the uninvited guests with strange eyes, but none of them dared to pick up weapons to make a defensive posture.

This also made the Liao people more confident and more courageous. Without Xiao Sixun coming forward, someone leaned forward and ordered them to open the door and wait for themselves for the reason just now.

The soldiers hesitated for a moment and looked at the main team that was heading for the riots in the city again, and finally made the decision to open the city.

With a creaking sound that made people sore teeth, the north gate of Zhuozhou City, which had been closed for several days, finally opened. The Liao people rushed out of the city without any delay, obviously for fear that someone would come from behind and force themselves to keep them. However, until the last person stepped onto the suspension bridge, no one appeared from behind, which made Xiao Sixun and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

However, even after leaving the north gate, Xiao Sixun and the others did not relax at all and continued to rush to their own military camps ahead at full speed. This time, there were seven or eight hundred people who came to Zhuozhou with him, and the rest were stationed outside. The Liao army also faintly heard the sound of killing in the city, and they were all looking around curiously. They saw Xiao Sixun bringing people back, which made them stunned and quickly came forward to ask.

But before they could speak, Xiao Sixun had already ordered urgently: "Clean up quickly and leave this place. If there is any change in the city, I will delay it. I am afraid that we will be attacked by the Changsheng Army!"

This sentence is more effective than any words. Hundreds of Liao soldiers immediately packed up their belongings. In just a short while, they had already cleaned up their base. Then everyone got on the horse and headed north as fast as possible. It was not until they rode a horse that had galloped for a while, Xiao Sixun turned around and looked at Zhuozhou City, which was still shrouded in the darkness, and secretly sweared in his heart: "Sun Tu, Guo Yaoshi, Changsheng Army, Song people, and Jurchen people... Don't be happy too early, I will come back soon and come back with my elite Liao forces. By then, I will fulfill my promise and let this city burn with you!" People have gone away, but the resentment has not dissipated for a long time...

The same words were also bursting out from Wanyan Wushu, who had just left the city from the west gate. After discovering that the situation in the city was not under his control, he, like Xiao Sixun, made the decision to immediately leave.

If he faced the people of the Changsheng Army, even ordinary Song people, Wu Shu felt that he still had room to maneuver and could ensure his own safety even if he was not good. However, when facing Sun Tu, he did not even dare to have such thoughts. As long as he failed, he would never have the possibility of turning the tables and resurrecting his life.

Since this is the case, then choose to leave decisively, at least it can still be useful. However, his heart was still full of unwillingness and anger, so after confirming his safety, he couldn't help looking back at the still noisy Zhuozhou City, and even swore that he would return today's failure in the future.

Zeng Sheng, who was following him, raised a question that everyone ignored: "By the way, the fourth prince, Han Benshanke is still with Guo Yaoshi, how can he get out?"

After this reminder, everyone remembered that there was no such a powerful person, and they all showed strange expressions. Even Wu Shu's face changed, but soon, he smiled bitterly again: "At this point, everything depends on his own fortune. Fortunately, his martial arts are so good, it is not too difficult to protect himself. Let's go ahead and wait for him to leave."
