Chapter 871 The lips are dead and the teeth are cold
After Zhao Song took over the command, he convened a meeting with people as soon as he returned home, and immediately ordered his top men Hua Ye and Chen Mo to surround the Zhou family.
Hua Ye's hands were very long and he was once ridiculed like a monkey. With piercing eyes, he looked at his subordinate who was nailed to the wall with a crossbow and cursed: "Mr. Zhou actually prepared a bed crossbow at home!"
Chen Mo held a big sword and said in a deep voice: "Aristocratic families are like the same country. It is not strange to have bed crossbows."
Hua Ye looked at the wall, "The Duke said that we can attack tonight if we can. Even so, we can't wait in vain. The Zhou family has many good hands, but the mansion must be defended everywhere, so it will naturally be dispersed. Order, from all directions
The siege will definitely make it impossible for the Zhou family to defend itself!"
The order was given and the good guys dispersed.
"In position."
Someone came to report.
Hua Ye said: "Send the message!"
A good player raised his head and roared.
"Attack!"
Black shadows flew by one after another.
Inside the Zhou family, it suddenly became noisy.
"Fire the arrow!"
Groups of archers lined up and waited.
The flying shadows waved their weapons and blocked the arrows.
From time to time, someone would be hit by an arrow and fall, and then they would be killed by Zhou's masters on the ground.
But more people rushed in.
"Archers retreat!"
The archers quickly retreated, but dozens of them were killed by Zhao's masters who rushed in.
"Shield!"
Chen Mo, who followed, shouted!
Then, a burst of crossbow arrows flew in the darkness.
Duh duh duh!
The shield blocked most of the crossbow arrows, but from time to time someone fell.
Amid the miserable howl, Chen Mo said: "Come in!"
Out of the darkness, groups of armored men came out.
They held their spears and walked in silence.
"They are the elite of the Zhou family!"
In the darkness behind, Mr. Zhou placed Zhou Fu and Chang Mu together.
"He is from the Zhao family."
The aristocratic families control huge fields and populations, and those populations can be transformed into an army at any time.
The person who trained and led this army was General Zhou Zhong.
In each generation, the Zhou family will train one or several generals. When there is nothing in the world, this is just to prepare for a rainy day. When there is something in the world, the generals will lead the army to protect the Zhou family, or compete with each other.
The generals of this generation are Zhou Fu.
He had a wide mouth and thick eyebrows, and a stocky figure. He said in a deep voice: "The other party is using military methods, which should not be underestimated. Tell Mr. Alang, I am afraid that you will not be safe tonight."
Chang Mu had just asked someone to deliver the message when he heard someone say: "Mr. Lang is here."
More than a dozen guards came surrounding Zhou Zun.
"how?"
Zhou Zun also wore armor and carried a sword, and looked calm.
Zhou Ming handed over his hand and said, "Most of the people who came are good soldiers in the army. I thought they were from the Zhao family."
"That's what they did when they brought Zhao Song back from Western Xinjiang." Zhou Zun squinted at the fighting ahead, "The emperor definitely wants to use the Chang'an guards, but Yang Songcheng doesn't dare!
Once this precedent is set, the emperor can then use the guards to wipe out his opponents.
Today it is the Zhou family, and tomorrow it may be the Yang family. So, Zhao Song is here."
This is a thorough analysis.
Zhou Fu said: "This battle has just begun, so Sir, you can go and rest."
Zhou Zun shook his head, "What do you think of the outcome?"
Zhou Min said: "Zhao has mobilized a lot of manpower. I conclude that the men and horses of Yang Songcheng and others are outside and can be mobilized at any time."
"In other words, tonight I, the Zhou family, will face oppression from three families?"
"yes."
The emperor will not send anyone to interfere in such matters, otherwise there will be no way out.
Chang Mu said: "If my uncle is here, with the arrogant and powerful generals under his command..."
He bowed his hand to Zhou Ming apologetically.
Speaking of uncle in front of Zhou Mun, it is inevitable that he looks down on Zhou Mun.
Zhou Mun's expression remained unchanged, but his hand holding the handle of the knife exerted force.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lang."
The fighting in front continued. Zhou Fu used dense crossbows to force the opponent to retreat, and then used a spear array to approach. The opponent had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the Zhou family.
"They retreated," Chang Mu said happily.
Zhou Fu said: "This is just the beginning!"
A servant came over. "Langjun, Alang calls you."
Zhou Zun hurried to the backyard.
The 'old dog' who had changed into a birdcage was taking a nap. Zhou Qin looked at it with his hands behind his back. Hearing the footsteps behind him, he said: "Zhao Song wants to return to Chang'an. This is an opportunity. He will not stop tonight."
"Yes." Zhou Zun stepped forward, "Aye, the guards haven't moved."
"The guards will not move, otherwise, the emperor will be killed next time!" Zhou Qin sneered.
"Aye, since the emperor and Yang Songcheng have decided to take action, they will fight until death. In this case, I think..."
"Do you want to join the army?"
"yes."
Zhou Qin shook his head, "I bet that there are troops outside those farms at the moment. If they move, they will be suppressed."
“Got to try.”
There was more hatred in Zhou Zun's eyes.
"Once troops are raised, the local people will come to report that the Zhou family is treason. Don't you understand?" Zhou Qin turned around with a gentle look in his eyes, "Da Lang, by then, the Zhou family will be a rebel, and everyone in the world will find it and punish him.
.”
"You must die happily!"
Zhou Zunxiao was calm.
"I have never noticed that you still have such a heroic temperament." Zhou Qin smiled, "The emperor and Yang Songcheng's decision to take action is closely related to the situation in northern Xinjiang.
They feel that Northern Xinjiang will not escape disaster this time, but Dalang, look at the roads Zitai has traveled over the years, which one has been smooth?"
"Aye, you mean...Zitai can make a comeback?" Zhou Zun felt that his son-in-law was talented, "But this is a natural disaster!"
"Many times, we don't give up until the end!" Zhou Qin suddenly asked: "You must want to ask if I have any hidden tricks, right?"
"Aye..." Zhou Zun was quite old. When his father said this, his old face couldn't help but blush, "I'm not a child."
"No matter how old you are, you are still a child in my eyes!" Zhou Qin's eyes were gentle, "I have made some things while hibernating at home these years. However, compared with these things, what is more important is that I have figured it out.
Many things.”
He hung the birdcage on the shelf, and the 'old dog' moved and tilted his head under the wings.
Zhou Qin looked at the old dog and said: "When Chu Zitai was the deputy envoy of Jiedu, I knew that the day when he and Chang'an would fall out was not far away.
What should Zhou do? If he wants to put aside this risk, then he should build up momentum and distance himself from Zitai.
But is it possible to be estranged? My son-in-law, we have been inseparable from the day Aning went to the Yang family.
Since we can't be separated, let's stand together.
I know very well what the emperor wants.
To deal with the Zhou family, it seems that you want to cut off Zitai's help, but Dalang, you have to see one thing... The Zhou family is a member of a noble family. The noble family has not been touched for many years. "
Zhou Zun's body trembled, "Aye is saying that the emperor wants to make an exception by killing the Zhou family?"
"Yes." Zhou Qin said with a smile: "I have thought about many people over the years, and the emperor is among them.
This person is unkind and ungrateful, and is good at power tactics.
Ever since he planned to seize the heir for Li Yuan, he has been planning how to weaken the family...
Not for the Tang Dynasty, but for power.
But for thousands of years, the families of the aristocratic families have been fending for themselves, and there has never been any use of troops.
By setting this precedent, he will be able to find an excuse next time to destroy the Chunyu family, the Zhao family, and the Yingchuan Yang family... and finally gather all the power into one person to dominate the world."
"Yang Songcheng..."
"He knows the emperor's thoughts, but he knows even more that the emperor is not young anymore." Zhou Qin sighed: "If you are old and do not die, you are a thief. If you are old and do not use your muscles and bones to be strong!"
He seemed to see Yang Songcheng sneering, laughing at the emperor's greed and forgetfulness.
"Aye, you didn't say Wang family. Hey!"
Zhou Qin smiled, "I have said that the biggest gain from being dormant for these years is not the things I made, but the many people I have pondered. With the Wang family by my side, the Zhou family was destroyed, and the Wang family is dead!"
…
"Yang Songcheng's people are here."
Three attacks failed, and Zhao Song's men suffered a lot of losses. Just when Chen Mo was complaining, Yang's men arrived.
"The abbot said, just give the orders!" the expert leader said calmly.
"The Chunyu clan's people are here."
A bunch of good guys are here.
Hua Ye smiled and said, "In this way, we will end the Zhou family tonight."
Hundreds of experts gathered together, and with other people, the alley was packed to the brim.
"This attack can only advance, not retreat." Hua Ye said with a cold face, "Whoever retreats without authorization will be killed!"
He looked at the leaders led by Yang and Chunyu, "Do you have any opinions?"
"Let's do it!"
"good!"
Hua Ye turned around and looked at the wall, "Army forces from all over the country have been dispatched and are slowly pushing towards Northern Xinjiang. When Northern Xinjiang is in turmoil, it is the day when the army presses the border. The actions here in Chang'an echo each other. When Yang Gou learned that the Zhou family was destroyed
News, what will happen to him?"
"Afraid, like a lost dog!"
There was a low laugh.
Hua Ye nodded, "This is a rare opportunity. Take action!"
Hundreds of good players flew away.
"Fire the arrow!"
The bed crossbow was fired without any scruples, and the expert who was hit by the arrow howled miserably and was taken away by the crossbow gun.
Under the dense rain of arrows, those good players fell down from time to time.
But more good guys rushed into Zhou's house.
This time they formed teams according to different families and moved forward together.
"It jumped in."
Someone climbed up to the city from inside and shouted to Hua Ye happily.
Then, a crossbow arrow hit his vest.
Just when the man fell, Hua Ye said sharply: "Archers, get on the wall!"
The ladder was set up and the archers climbed up to the top of the city.
Long bows and crossbows were fired at Zhou's people.
The shouts of killing shook the sky.
Zhao Sanfu led a team of stakes several hundred meters away.
He looked at the red-hot sky in silence.
"Master."
A stake came over, "We've attacked over there."
Everyone couldn't help but rejoice.
According to the emperor's arrangement, once the Zhou family is captured, he will not want the property, but he will want the Zhou family's documents for many years!
This is about digging up the roots!
Once those documents are obtained, the Zhou family's foundation will be uprooted.
And the process of looking for documents can be easy to follow.
The person who carried out this matter was Zhao Sanfu.
He turned around and said, "Just wait, I'll go take a look."
He quietly arrived in the alley, and two men with knives blocked his way.
"From the mirror."
As soon as the sign came up, two men said: "Search me!"
What the hell!
Zhao Sanfu said with a sinister smile: "Zhao Song thinks he is alive again? He needs the mirror to find something for him to do!"
One of the two men was angry, the other grabbed his companion, "Go!"
Zhao Sanfu stared at the angry man, "Want to take action? Come on, Ye Ye is here. Zhao Song's dog dares to bark at Ye Ye! If he doesn't dare, then bark Ye Ye!"
This was a great humiliation. The man was furious and struggled hard.
"Hold the third child!" shouted the companion holding him.
Several men in black emerged from inside and tried their best to control the angry man.
"Tsk tsk!" Zhao Sanfu shook his head, "A dog is a dog!"
He swaggered into the alley, and someone behind him said, "I know Zhao Sanfu, he shouldn't be so domineering."
Zhao Sanfu flew up to the top of the wall, just in time to see a crossbow gun flying towards him. A laughing man flying past in mid-air was pierced by an arrow in the lower abdomen, and his body flew away.
With the screams still ringing in my ears, more than a dozen skilled players broke through Zhou's defense and pounced on Zhou Zun and others who were watching the battle behind.
One of them roared, and the other shouted: "Kill Zhou Zun!"
Dozens of skilled fighters emerged from behind Zhou Zun, and both sides strangled each other.
An arrow missed and flew straight towards Zhou Zun.
Zhou Zun didn't move.
Zhou Fu next to him flicked his finger, and the arrow shattered with a pop.
A man in black broke through the blockade, and a Zhou master behind him threw the horizontal knife in his hand, piercing the man's back. The man in black suddenly flew towards him, raised his right hand, and more than ten black dots flew towards him.
Just as Zhou Ming was about to take action, two arrows flew by quickly, and he could only block them first.
"good!"
From the outside, Chen Mo couldn't help but cheer loudly when he saw this scene.
Zhou Zun didn't move, just looking at the two sides fighting in front of him.
Suddenly a person flashed behind him, and the person waved his hand gently.
The space seemed to be distorted, and more than ten black spots turned and suddenly exploded.
The black shadow flashed and returned behind Zhou Zun, as if it had never existed.
The man in black rushed in front of Zhou Zun and threw him down.
The horizontal knife stuck in his back was trembling, and blood kept pouring out, forming a pool of blood under his body, and the fishy smell hit his nostrils.
"I hate it so much!" the man in black murmured.
On the wall, hundreds of people suddenly poured out.
Zhou Fu's eyes narrowed, "Lang Jun, retreat!"
Now that the balance of power can barely be maintained, the addition of this group of people has made Zhou Fu no longer confident in maintaining the outer defense line.
In mid-air, a man could actually draw a bow and draw an arrow.
The bow is like a thunderbolt!
Snap!
As soon as he heard the sound, the arrow came to Zhou Zun's eyes.
The black shadow appeared again, reaching out to block the arrow before it missed.
Peng!
The inner breath surged, and the arrow exploded suddenly.
Zhou Zun took a few steps back, and the black shadow squinted at the man who once again stretched his bow and drew an arrow after landing, and said coldly: "Wang Hong, the master archer of the Yang family!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wang Hong laughed, and then let go. As soon as his hand was released, he didn't see any movement. He once again held an arrow in his right hand and missed it. He opened his bow and set the arrow again.
Bang bang bang!
The arrows struck like a barrage of arrows.
The black shadow stretched out his hand, his movement seemed slow, but in fact it was extremely fast.
Puff puff puff!
Arrows were lost one after another and were smashed into pieces, and the air waves caused by the explosion forced Zhou Zun to retreat again.
"retreat!"
The front can no longer be defended.
Zhou Fu turned around and said, "Lang Jun, retreat quickly!"
Zhou Zun's face was livid, "Back off!"
"The Zhou family has retreated!"
There was cheering outside.
Hua Ye turned around and looked at the dense crowd of men in black, "Zhou must have thought that all our people have been mobilized! Come on, give them a surprise. In half an hour, I will be standing outside the study of the head of the Zhou family!"
"Take orders!"
Huaye waved his hand.
"Attack!"
Chen Mo smiled and said: "The big deal is settled!"
The crowd of people in black climbed onto the wall and confidently rushed towards Zhou's retreating masters.
"It won't take half an hour!"
Hua Ye and Chen Mo also went to the top of the city. Chen Mo said: "A quarter of an hour!"
Zhou seemed to be losing ground.
"They can't stop it."
An aura of despair enveloped the Zhou family.
At the entrance of the alley on the right, someone suddenly screamed, "Stop! Stop!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Someone shouted!
Then, a miserable howl came from the entrance of the alley.
"who?"
Hua Ye turned sideways, "Zhou's men in the city have been surrounded by us, who are they?"
Outside the alley, more than a thousand soldiers were charging and killing.
The arrows densely covered the alley ahead, and the three families who stayed here to blockade them all fell down after being hit by arrows.
The remaining people were attacked by the opponent and collapsed!
"Fight in!"
From behind, Wang Douxiang shouted. His usually friendly face was now filled with murderous intent.
