Chapter 466 Plan Implementation

"Quick, enter the city!"

The big boat of the Eastern Wu carried the elite of the Tang army and slowly sailed towards the gap in Xiangyang City.

At this time, the defenders on the top of the city were in chaos and did not notice the danger sneaking in from the shadows.

"The Tang army is invading?!"

Sun Yuan was once a general of the Southern Song Dynasty. Although his official rank was not high, he was also a general of a thousand men.

After Lu Wenhuan surrendered to Mongolia, he and a group of Southern Song generals and soldiers became a member of the Mongolian and Han army.

For generals like Sun Yuan who did not have much sense of belonging to the Southern Song Dynasty, there was no essential difference in living under the command of the Mongols.

Although being a Mongolian and Han soldier was inevitable to be beaten, scolded and ridiculed by Mongolian nobles, it was better than being a consumable in the Southern Song Dynasty, right?

Because of this,

during the period when Mongolia occupied Xiangyang, Sun Yuan worked wholeheartedly for Mongolia and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

When the explosion sounded in the city, the general of a thousand men also quickly woke up from his sleep, put on his armor and dressed his head, and led a few soldiers to go to the military camp in the city to investigate the situation.

"Brother Sun, is the Tang army coming?!" Several Mongolian and Han army generals who lived with Sun Yuan and had a good relationship with him came forward to ask.

Sun Yuan shook his head and said that he was not clear about the current situation.

"Everyone, in my opinion, it is better to go to the military camp and see what happened."

"Brother Sun is right."

"Okay, let's go together!"

"Well, don't worry too much. With the strength of Xiangyang, even if the Tang army comes, it will not be broken overnight."

It can be seen that these generals are quite optimistic.

This is natural.

After all, when Xiangyang was in the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was also held for several years in the hands of the Jin people and the Mongolia behind it.

They didn't believe that the Tang army could take down this ancient strong city in just one night.

After the discussion, the group quickly headed to the military camp in the city.

On the way, they found that many soldiers who had the same idea as them were also gathering in the direction of the military camp.

However.

Just as Sun Yuan and others passed through a road that led to the camp in the city, the sound of a crossbow string vibrating suddenly came from the silent night.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Then, the sound of breaking through the air came whistling, and the crossbow arrows poured down like a rainstorm.

"Ah--!"

Screams came one after another, and several colleagues and soldiers around Sun Yuan were shot into sieves in an instant and fell in a pool of blood.

"There is an ambush!"

Sun Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly, quickly commanding everyone to find shelter to avoid.

However, for the Jinyiwei who had already ambushed on both sides of the street, all this was just the beginning of catching a turtle in a jar.

They wound up the strings as accurately as machines, then aimed at the headless flies on the street and pulled the trigger.

Not to mention that this batch of upgraded military crossbows were so powerful that they could penetrate two layers of armor within thirty steps!

For a time, the streets were full of blood and corpses.

Although the military system of the Song Dynasty had many drawbacks and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was uneven, the military equipment produced by the Song Dynasty was unique, especially the Shenbi Crossbow.

It is said that the Shenbi Crossbow has a range of 300 steps and can penetrate armor like nothing. It was once a weapon for the Song Dynasty to fight against the heavy armored cavalry of the northern barbarians.

However, due to its lack of inherent strength, no amount of external objects could make up for the decay of the Song army.

Now, these imitations of the Shenbi Crossbow have regained vitality in the hands of the Jinyiwei and exerted amazing power.

Puff!

Sun Yuan vomited blood and looked forward in horror.

He thought that hiding behind the horse's belly could reduce the lethality of the crossbow arrows, but when he felt the severe pain in his abdomen and chest, he realized that all this was in vain.

"Kill!"

Accompanied by the indifferent voice of a Jinyiwei centurion, dozens of black shadows quickly jumped down and began to clean up the battlefield.

They killed the enemies who were still alive one by one, and at the same time carried the dead bodies of horses and covered the blood on the ground with dust.

After doing all this, the Jinyiwei merged into the darkness again, waiting for the arrival of the next wave of targets.

Not only that!

In Lin Chen's deployment, in addition to letting the Jinyiwei intercept and kill the Mongolian army generals in the city, he also sent the Jianghu righteous men who had served under Guo Fu to the official residence in the city to carry out assassination missions.

After Guo Fu became the princess, these southern Jianghu warriors chose to continue to serve the King of Tang.

Compared with the bunch of people in the Southern Song Dynasty who were not human, at least the King of Tang really regarded these Jianghu people as available forces.

But Lin Chen understood that in order to make these Jianghu warriors serve wholeheartedly, he had to pay something.

So he took out a reward that these Jianghu warriors could not refuse.

That's right, that is the martial arts secret book!

Don't look at the Southern Song Dynasty court not paying much attention to warriors and regard them as rude people.

However, the Zhao family's palace treasury collected a large number of martial arts secrets, which were piled up like mountains of treasures.

No wonder Huang Shang, who was just a scholar at the time, was able to learn martial arts without a teacher when he served as a historian, and even created the "Nine Yin Manual".

Obviously, this has a lot to do with the martial arts secrets collected by the Song Dynasty court.

Therefore, after Lin Chen copied a copy by himself and placed it in the family's Sutra Pavilion, he planned to use these martial arts secrets as rewards.

Sure enough.

As soon as this news came out, the number of Jianghu righteous men who originally served under Guo Fu increased rapidly from more than 300 to a thousand, and many southern martial arts sects also came in droves!

It can be seen how attractive martial arts secrets are to Jianghu martial artists.

Although compared with the Jinyiwei, the quality of these martial artists is uneven, they can also play a huge role in specific occasions.

For example, assassination is their specialty.

In Xiangyang City, except for the Mongolian governor who holds an important position, most of the other officials are Han Chinese.

However, most of these Han civil officials are flatterers and bullies, and they have a bad reputation in Xiangyang City.

Perhaps knowing that they have done countless evil things, these officials also hired many martial arts masters to act as thugs at home.

When the assassins sent by Lin Chen met these bodyguards, fierce battles quietly took place in the night.

Of course, there were also some unlucky officials who were directly beheaded by the warriors who touched them.

It can be said that at this moment, officials and generals at all levels in Xiangyang City were in chaos because of Lin Chen's clever layout, and had no time to take care of the riots at the city gate.

As for the Xiangyang Governor's Mansion, it is of course the most important link.

As a Mongolian noble, the Xiangyang Governor also has many skilled guards with high martial arts skills.

The most famous one among them is the man who calls himself the invincible boxing master in the north.

This man once challenged the twelve boxing martial arts schools in the north with his fists and never lost.

After creating such a great reputation, he was recruited by the governor of Xiangyang.

At this time, he was inspecting the situation in the mansion with a group of servants, waiting for the enemy to harm the governor.

Looking at his strong aura, it seems that he is practicing external martial arts.

Judging from his posture, ordinary acquired martial artists are not his opponents.

Of course, this strongest guard in the open is not the only master in the mansion.

According to rumors, there is also a congenital level worshiper in the mansion, whose whereabouts are erratic and difficult to find.

Only when the governor's mansion is in crisis, he will show up and take action.

Bang!

However, in this heavily guarded place, a loud noise suddenly sounded.

The next moment, a figure fell from the sky like a ghost.

The person who came was Lin Chen. He clapped his hands expressionlessly, as if he had just done something insignificant.

At his feet, a corpse with a horrified face lay quietly.

Judging from the powerful aura that had not yet dissipated from this corpse, it was a congenital master known as a land immortal!

"Who is it?!"

Beidi Diquan heard the movement and shouted angrily.

Immediately, a lonely figure pushed open the door of the prefect's mansion and walked in slowly.

With such a leisurely demeanor, those who didn't know would think that this prefect's mansion was his home!

Only Beidi Diquan felt the corpse thrown on the ground by Lin Chen and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

(The book has been blocked recently. I have been staying up late to revise the book and write words these days. It's too difficult. Please give more praise~~ I will try to add more in the next few days!)
