Chapter 296 Destroying Assassins 4
Chapter 296: Suppression of Assassins 4
The distance from the entrance of the cave to the top of the mountain is not long. The key is that it is steep and the road is very narrow, which creates a situation where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In fact, there are not many guard posts along the way, and there are only 15 people in five places. It took less time. Qian Zhengbang and others to clear all the guard posts, but the assassins in the cave did not notice at all. At this time, the east was slightly white and it was about to dawn.
Qian Zhengbang and others did not dare to delay, and hurried back to the entrance of the cave with the soldiers waiting below. Before they arrived, they heard screams coming from the front. On this quiet morning, the sound seemed so clear.
"Are you fighting?"
These three words suddenly rang in Qian Zhengbang's mind. Before he could think too much, he waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, come with me!"
Then, he took the lead and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
Before we reached the entrance of the cave, we found that most of the more than 100 people who had just come down from the top of the mountain had entered the cave. Without time to think about it, we pulled out our weapons and rushed forward.
It turned out that according to Qian Zhengbang's plan, everyone came down and guarded the entrance of the cave without attacking. Then they waited for the people below to meet up and then attacked. However, as the sky gradually dawned, some assassins began to move. After one of the unlucky assassin came out, he found that there were many warriors in the entrance of the cave. He was panicked and shouted loudly. So among the twenty people who came down first, someone immediately made a quick decision and took a arrow to the assassin who hurriedly went in to report the news, thinking that it had resulted in his life. However, the loud shouts of the assassin just now had already alarmed the people inside.
The situation is now unbearable for them to hesitate. Everyone immediately drew out their weapons, and some picked up crossbow arrows and rushed into the cave. They met the assassins coming out on a narrow road, with almost no thoughts. The soldiers holding crossbow arrows immediately shot out the crossbow arrows in their hands and then drew out their weapons.
The assassins who came out in a hurry did not expect such a mutation. Many people could not dodge immediately and were shot in one after another. The crossbow was highly poisonous. Even if the skin was pierced, they would die if they were not treated in time. However, at this time, can anyone treat them?
After entering the stone cave, there was a place similar to the hall. The area inside was very wide and there was no problem with accommodating hundreds of people. This hall was also the only way for all assassins to enter and exit. After suppressing the assassins who rushed out, the soldiers took the opportunity to pounce in and then joined forces with the assassins. The screams suddenly rang throughout the hall, with splashing blood and limbs everywhere, accompanied by the screams and the sound of knife cutting bones.
Not long after, the assassins were shocked to find that the group of people in front of them were definitely not ordinary people. They almost fought desperately with each move, and their moves only took the vital points of the person. The movements were not only fast, but also very sharp. The weapons in their hands were even very sharp. If you accidentally, you might be split by both of them with weapons.
Although these assassins are all desperate people, it does not mean that they are willing to fight to the death. At first they thought there were not many people on the other side, and there was still a lesson. However, as Qian Zhengbang rushed in with his people, the trace of luck became deep despair. The other side's hideous face and the smell of blood in the cave filled their senses, which made them suddenly feel like they were in hell, so many people began to shout for surrender loudly.
Regarding those surrendered assassins, Qian Zhengbang had long had a secret explanation to the brothers below, that is, accept their surrender, and then wait until the overall situation is controlled, and he will be killed without mercy. After all, killing those unresisting enemies is much easier than killing those who fight desperately. At the very least, his casualties will be greatly reduced.
So, facing those places where they did not resist, the soldiers stopped, confiscated their weapons and immediately escorted them out of the battle group. Seeing that these vicious people did not take action against their surrendered companions, the assassins surrendered one after another, and more and more people joined the ranks. However, naturally some people did not surrender immediately. When they met such people, the soldiers who had freed their hands would not be polite, so they killed them.
Some people also hope to escape in hidden places, but they really muttered about Qian Zhengbang and others. After finding them, they waved their swords and slashed them without saying a word. In just over half an hour, the assassin's nest was broken, capturing as many as sixty or seventy assassins, and more than eighty people were killed. Qian Zhengbang had an absolute advantage in his hands and all the soldiers were extremely brave. The final price was only one person seriously injured and more than ten people were slightly injured.
After the assassin was captured, Qian Zhengbang immediately ordered people to take these people down the hillside and at the same time ordered people to start searching the entire cave. Since this place was the assassin's nest, there were naturally a lot of gold, silver and treasures, so naturally they could not afford the group of soldiers waiting there. Jiang Lang had already instructed before that the sweetness was to give those people a little food, but Big Head still had to catch it himself. Not to mention anything else, when a brother died in the future, he could give more pensions, at least to ensure that his family had no worries about food and clothing.
Sure enough, not long after, someone came to report that he had discovered a dark room. So he followed the man Qian Zhengbang to arrive in a hurry. After arriving, he found that the door was hidden in a relatively luxurious room. When he opened the door, he found that it was relatively wide. One of them was filled with countless gold, silver and treasures, while the other one was smaller, mostly with books and the like.
Qian Zhengbang did not immediately clean up the jewelry, but came to the next to the books. When he opened the books, he found that the income and expenditure were recorded. Ordinary people would think that this was just a business account book, but Qian Zhengbang knew that the so-called transaction on this was actually an assassination transaction.
In addition to the book, the second is better letters. When I opened it, I found that most of the lives and places of the people whom the employer asked to kill, as well as the amount of money given after the matter was completed. Qian Zhengbang suddenly realized his mind. After reading some of them continuously, he did not find any letters about the assassination of the princess and others.
This situation made Qian Zhengbang a little puzzled. He waved his hand, called a soldier over, pointed to the account books of the letters and said, "Then bring all these back to the capital and leave them to the lord!"
The soldier nodded, found a few people, and found the assassins' clothes in the cave, tore them into pieces of cloth, and then wrapped them all. Qian Zhengbang came to another room, which was full of gold, silver and treasures, piled up into a small hill. This shows that the assassins' business was quite good. After estimating the number, Qian Zhengbang ordered everyone to pack and bring as many as possible.
After arranging these, Qian Zhengbang walked down the path. Below, the surrendered assassins had been gathered and stood in several rows, surrounded by the five hundred officers and soldiers of Dali Prefecture. At the same time, there were naturally the men on Qian Zhengbang's side.
After Qian Zhengbang left, Wu Qiong immediately came up and bowed and smiled, "Congratulations to Brother Qian, you have been attacked by you in such a natural danger. It's really not easy!"
Facing the compliment of weapons, Qian Zhengbang smiled slightly and said, "It's all my brothers' credit, how dare I take responsibility?"
After saying that, he stopped talking to Wu Qiong, walked to these people, looked at them, and asked, "That one of you is the head?"
No one dares to answer.
Qian Zhengbang frowned slightly, pointed to an assassin standing in front and said, "You said!"
The assassin shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
"you do not know?"
Qian Zhengbang repeated coldly, then suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed at him with a sudden slash. After screaming, the man collapsed softly.
Such a sudden change made everyone startle, and Wu Qiong, who was standing next to Qian Zhengbang, looked blankly at Qian Zhengbang holding a knife.
Qian Zhengbang seemed to have nothing happened, pointed his knife at another assassin and said, "Then you say."
The assassin looked at the shaking knife in front of him with some fear, then glanced at the dead accomplices beside him, and then pointed at one of the men in his forties and said, "He is the head!"
Qian Zhengbang looked at it and saw that the man was only in his forties and was very inconspicuous. He waved his hand and immediately someone stepped forward to take him out.
After looking up and down at this person, Qian Zhengbang asked coldly: "Who was instructing the assassination of Princess Wasat?"
The man's face changed involuntarily, and then he immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
"have no idea?"
Qian Zhengbang sneered. He had told himself the expression of this person just now. He knew it, but he didn't say it. So he smiled slightly and said, "When you enter the gate of Dongchang, I think you will slowly remember who was instructing him!"
