Meng Tian was stunned when he heard the knight's report, and then he became murderous.
He never expected that the deceased Zhao family would be so rampant, not only able to produce Zhao crossbows, but also able to win over so many Shandong thieves and rangers to work for them.
The most important thing is that the more than 60 dead soldiers wearing masks made Meng Tian feel cold. The former Zhao family still had such great ability to train so many dead soldiers. It was obvious that these dead soldiers were just the tip of the iceberg.
That's all.
If these brave and fearless soldiers directly assassinate the generals and officials of Da Qin, they will definitely make the chaotic situation in Shandong and other places that have just experienced Li Zuoche's rebellion even worse.
If you assassinate yourself...
Meng Tian couldn't help but shudder when he thought of those daggers whose throats were sealed with blood.
"What are the casualties of the army outside the city?" Meng Tian thought for a while and asked.
"Go back to the general, I don't know!" the knight answered simply.
Meng Tian looked at him in surprise and said nothing.
The 10,000 infantry outside the city were commanded by Shi Ze, the captain of the Jiuyuan Military Academy. Shi Ze started as a corps commander and accumulated merits step by step to become the captain. It can be said that Meng Tian watched him get to where he is today. He knew Shi Ze very well.
, so when Meng Tian heard the knight's answer that he didn't know the casualties, he felt relieved.
At this moment, there were several loud noises: "Crack!"
The prison door was smashed open by Ren Xiaoer and his men.
As soon as the door was broken, Ren Xiaoer took the lead and rushed in. After a strange cry, Ren Xiaoer, who had just entered, rushed out faster than before. Who would have expected that Ren Xiaoer just fell into a coma as soon as he took a step.
Fell to the ground.
This sudden change immediately caused a slight commotion among the surrounding Jiuyuan Army.
Two Jiuyuan Army soldiers quickly ran over and pulled Ren Xiaoer out. After checking, the two Jiuyuan Army soldiers looked at each other, and then one of them got up and ran towards Meng Tian.
come over.
"How is Ren Xiaoer?" Meng Tian stopped the soldier from saluting and asked.
"Back to General, Sir Ren is very good." The soldier said with a strange expression.
"Very good? Then why did you fall to the ground?" Meng Tian said in surprise.
"Back to General, Sir Ren seems to have fallen asleep, that's why he fell to the ground." The soldier replied uncertainly.
Meng Tian frowned slightly when he heard the soldier's words, "Qian Liang, go and see what's going on."
"I will obey your orders!" Qian Liang, who was following Meng Tian, bowed and responded.
Qian Liang got off his horse and strode to Ren Xiaoer's side. He checked carefully, shook his head in confusion, then stood up and said to Meng Tian: "General, Ren Xiaoer does seem to be asleep..."
Before Qian Liang finished speaking, several soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were standing closer to the prison door fell softly to the ground, motionless. As these soldiers fell to the ground, a sweet smell came from inside the prison.
Exudes faintly.
"No! Retreat quickly!"
A dragon guard who had been following Meng Tian but had never spoken a word suddenly shouted loudly. As he shouted, the other nine dragon guards turned over and dismounted and suddenly pulled Meng Tian, who was still in a daze, off his horse.
, carry it and run.
Immediately afterwards, a continuous "pop" sound was heard within twenty steps of the prison.
Qian Liang and the Jiuyuan soldiers who were still beside Ren Xiaoer were the first to fall to the ground. Then the surrounding Jiuyuan Jingqi riding on war horses seemed to be dropping dumplings, and they all fell to the ground from their horses. After a while, the war horses
He also fell softly to the ground.
At this time, there was no need for the Long Guard people to remind them. Thousands of the Nine Original Army soldiers who had originally surrounded the prison fled far away from the prison. Unknown things always make people fearful, even for these elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles.
"May I ask some of you, why is this?" Meng Tian looked at the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army lying on the ground around the prison, and could not hide the horror in his heart. He first thought of Long Wei who had just warned.
Meng Tian's attitude was very low. He knew very well why Hu Hai sent these people here. But he had a clear conscience, so he never avoided these ten dragon guards in anything he did.
"Back to the general, if the general's prediction is correct, a large amount of drugs should have been administered in the prison." A dragon guard who spoke previously bowed and bowed to Meng Tian respectfully.
Meng Tian kept his attitude very low, but Long Wei understood his responsibilities better, so he was always very respectful to Meng Tian.
"Drug? Such a powerful drug, if used on the battlefield, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Meng Tian said worriedly.
"General, don't worry. It's very difficult to make such intoxicating drugs. We only have a few of them in the Dragon Guard. I think after the thieves did this, even if there are some left, they may not be of much use. What's more, the intoxicating drugs are of no use.
Medicine can only show its effect in a closed place; once it is in the wilderness, its effect will be minimal."
Long Wei, who spoke earlier, obviously understood the disadvantages of these drugs and comforted Meng Tian.
"That's it!" Meng Tian felt relieved after hearing Long Wei's words, "But what should the drugged person do now?"
"Back to the General, it is very easy to cure these poisons. You only need to splash water on the soldiers' faces and they will wake up immediately. However, the General still has to wait a moment until all the poisons gathered in the prison have dissipated before waking them up.
Not too late."
Half an hour later, after being confirmed by Long Wei, Meng Tian waved a large number of soldiers into the prison, and carried out dozens of soldiers at the door, including Qian Liang, Ren Xiaoer, and more than 200 soldiers in the prison.
A ladle of water was poured down, and Qian Liang and others who were still sleeping woke up one after another.
Meng Tian ignored Qian Liang and Ren Xiaoer who were still chattering. He looked at Tuba and Chen Bu who had woken up and said, "Tuba Chen Bu, I will let Ren Xiaoer say that you two have been guarding the leader of the thief in prison.
, why did you faint?"
Tu Ba and Chen Bu, who had woken up, had already remembered the cause and effect. At this time, they heard General Meng Tian's questioning and told them with red faces what happened to their two centurions in prison.
Tuba and Chen Bu entered the prison with more than a hundred soldiers of their own. At first, everything was normal in the prison. Although the deceased Zhao family members in the prison were a little disturbed when they heard the fighting outside, it soon became clear.
He was suppressed by Tu Ba and others.
The rest of the matter was very simple. I don’t know when a strong sweet fragrance came from the prison. By the time Tuba and Chen Bu realized something was wrong, it was already too late. In less than ten breaths, two hundred
The remaining soldiers and the deceased Zhao family members in the prison all fainted and fell to the ground.
Although Meng Tian had been worried about something going wrong in the prison since Ren Xiaoer fainted, but now that Meng Tian heard what Tuba and Chen Bu said, even though Meng Tian hadn't sent anyone to check the situation in the prison, it was clear that the thing he was most worried about had happened.
"Qian Liang, immediately lead all the troops here to blockade the four gates of Julu. No one can leave the city without my general's order." Meng Tian ordered loudly.
"Here!"
"Ren Xiaoer, take your people to the prison to check it out!" After giving instructions to Qian Liang and Meng Tian, he said helplessly to Ren Xiaoer.
After a while, Ren Xiaoer came out with a dead look on his face.
Someone dug out an entire wall behind the prison at some point.
Except for King Zhao Xie who has disappeared, the remaining more than a hundred deceased Zhao family members are all in prison. However, although these deceased Zhao family members are still in prison, they are all corpses, and more than a hundred of them have been
People were beheaded on the spot, and no one was left alive.
Meng Tian did not blame Ren Xiaoer, who was guarding the prison. No one expected that these people would use the method of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, moving all the guards to the front, and using an unpredictable drug.
"Search the whole city! The gate of Julu City has not been opened since nightfall. The thieves and Zhao Xie will never be able to leave the city. They must find these thieves. You must remember not to disturb the people!" Meng Tian ordered loudly.
"Here!"
Just when Meng Tian closed the gate of Julu City and searched the whole city, poor Zhao Xie was tied tightly and stuffed in a carriage and beaten to the ground. But he sat in the carriage without saying a word.
Zhao Xie, a slender man in black wearing a mask, clenched his teeth and closed his mouth knowingly.
It was this man in black with a ghostly mask who woke him up from his fainting state before, and without any trace of fireworks, he killed more than a hundred of the deceased Zhao survivors on the ground in front of him without any trace of fireworks.
That clean and neat technique, that calm look in his eyes, it was as if he was killing not a human but a chicken or a sheep.
Zhao Xie will never forget the scene where the hot blood spurted out and flew in all directions, as well as the ghost-faced man's intoxicated sigh after killing the person.
Then, this dear friend carried him like a chicken, swaying past the Qin army's guards, easily climbed up the city wall, and then used a small rope to get out of the city lightly.
He threw poor Zhao Xie into a carriage waiting on the roadside and never said a word again.
Including the driver, he also wore a pale mask and looked like a dead person.
"Clang!" There was a loud noise, and then there was a "bang".
The speeding carriage seemed to have run over a stone, and the whole carriage jumped heavily. Zhao Xie, who was bundled in the carriage, bounced up high as the carriage jumped, and then hit his head heavily against the wall of the carriage.
The collision almost caused Zhao Xie to faint from the pain, and he couldn't help but let out a groan of pain.
Although Zhao Xie was about to faint from the intense pain in his head, what he was most worried about at the moment was the ghost-faced man who had been silent and motionless, for fear that the sound he just made would disturb the god of death.
The thing that worried Zhao Xie the most happened.
Zhao Xie couldn't see the ghost-faced man in the dark carriage, but he could clearly feel two cold eyes moving on him. As the eyes moved, Zhao Xie felt as if there were two cold hands wherever he passed.
The sharp blade slashed across his body.
Zhao Xie suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his teeth could not help but rattle!
Hearing the sound of Zhao Xie's teeth chattering, the ghost-faced man sneered, "Trash!"
Immediately afterwards, a shining light flashed through the darkness, heading straight for Zhao Xie like lightning.
