Chapter 249: Even Being a Farmer Is Better Than Being a Rebel
North Gate.
Crouching at the corner of the city wall, trying his best to think of a way to get out of the city to find Chu Er and discuss countermeasures, Dark Guard Three saw that another group of people were transferred away.
After calculating the current strength of the troops at the North Gate, there were still... one hundred and fifty men left.
There weren't many people, but even so, it was impossible for him to fight against more than a hundred people alone.
No matter how skilled he is in martial arts, it is impossible for him not to alert other people in this situation!
Before An San could come up with a solution, there was a sudden noise on the city wall.
He took the opportunity to knock out a man who was running down from the city wall. The man was in a hurry and looked panicked, as if he was going to get help.
He moved quickly and knocked the man unconscious cleanly, dragged him into a dark place, quickly put on the man's armor, and then climbed up the city wall to find out what was going on.
Taking advantage of the dim night, he climbed up the city wall, and no one recognized that he was just a gangster in disguise.
As for the movement on the city wall, it was not his illusion. Someone quietly climbed up with a rope and then started fighting with the soldiers guarding the city wall.
The first one to climb up was naturally Chu Er. He didn't trust others and was used to fighting alone.
Therefore, the task of opening the way and exploring the path naturally fell on him.
Although he used a rope, he only needed a little leverage. Chu Er, whose lightness skill was only inferior to Chu Xi, pulled the rope slightly, kicked the city wall, and used the force to fly upwards.
Successfully landed at the corner of the tower.
As soon as he landed, he ran into a patrol team. A team of ten people watched him...fall from the sky. They were stunned for a moment, and then they reacted and drew their swords and rushed forward.
It's just too late.
Chu Er attacked even faster, and he took care of six people with only three moves. The remaining four were kicked to the ground by him. They felt a dull pain in their chests and could not even get up.
When An San came up, except for the one who escaped the net, no one dared to step forward to participate in the battle and slipped away. He was caught red-handed and killed easily.
This patrol team of ten people has been successfully dealt with.
Chu Er flashed, and the sword almost grazed An San's neck...
Fortunately, An San reacted quickly. While dodging, he warned, "It's me."
Chu Er's gaze lingered on An San's face for a moment, then he slowly retracted his sword and calmly ordered, "Go down and open the city gate!"
An San did not question Chu Er's order and said, "Yes."
Chu Er had long been the deputy commander of the Secret Camp of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. In addition to being the chief commander, he also possessed the power to dispatch the secret guards within the mansion.
As for the deputy commander and the chief commander, they are usually the personal guards of the next owner of the marquisate.
This is also to ensure the control between the master of the Marquis' Mansion and the secret guards.
Secret guards usually grow up with their masters and are instilled with the idea of loyalty. The selection of their leaders is even more special. Only when they subconsciously obey the orders of their masters will they not have any thoughts of betrayal.
Only as the master's superior can you trust them wholeheartedly and entrust your life into their hands.
An San followed Chu Er's order, went down the city wall without saying a word, and opened the city gate.
The city gate is very heavy, and opening it by one person alone is extremely tiring and time-consuming.
What Chu Er needs to do during this time is to eliminate all the invading rebels on the city wall who have discovered his whereabouts.
These rebels were indeed the people led by Wang Youren. They were not good at martial arts and could not kill Chu Er, so they subconsciously wanted to escape.
Chu Er naturally would not give them a chance to escape. He would either knock them out or kill them.
Although there are three hundred people lurking outside the city, they are just waiting for An San to open the city gate so that they can enter the city.
But once they alarmed the rebels in the city and allowed them to escape and seek reinforcements, then their attempt to take control of Xianyang City in one fell swoop would be in vain!
In vain.
After waiting so long for such a suitable opportunity, the city was in chaos.
Don't miss anything.
Chu Er looked coldly at the people who were trying to escape. He hooked the weapons on the ground with his toes, kicked the sword upwards neatly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to catch it easily.
Then, with the long sword in his right hand, he threw one ball in each hand without stopping, and quickly aimed at the backs of the two people at the back and threw them.
All that was heard was the sound of weapons piercing bodies, as the long sword and the broadsword pierced the backs of the two men respectively.
Then, both of them fell down without any struggle.
As for the three people in front, they were dealt with by An San who had already opened the city gate and came up to support.
An San opened the heavy city gate by himself, which took him half a cup of tea. He had no help from anyone else and it took a lot of effort.
When they reached the city wall, they encountered three rebels who looked panicked. They had fled in such a hurry and panic that they were in a mess and they didn't know where they had lost their weapons.
When they saw An San coming upstairs, they thought he was reinforcement and instinctively asked for help.
An San raised the sword in his hand without thinking and killed the three of them quickly, killing them as easily as cutting vegetables.
He looked down at the bodies of the three people whose eyes were wide open before they died, with an expression of disbelief on their faces, not knowing why they were killed, and murmured in a low voice, "It would be better to be a farmer in my next life than to be a rebel."
Secret guards are similar to killers in nature, and killing is their instinct.
From the moment he drew his sword, the tip of the sword was aimed at the person's fatal vital points, which was a conditioned reflex.
No need to think about it at all.
The words were so quiet that they were carried away by the wind, and no one heard them except himself.
And he didn't say it specifically for others to hear.
Just...I suddenly felt emotional.
As he said, if they were not rebels, they would not have handed over Xianyang City so easily and followed the rebel Wang Youren to become accomplices.
They won't die.
Three hundred people rushed into the city. With the help of Chu Er and An San, they entered the city without any effort and did not need to go through the trouble of attacking the city.
After the three hundred men entered the city, they rushed up to the city wall and killed or tied up all the rebels at the north gate.
One hundred and fifty people were no match for them.
In less than a cup of tea, they were all "dealt with".
The North Gate was captured and fell into the control of the people brought by Chu Er. After listening to An San's report, he knew that the current situation in the city had exceeded their initial expectations.
Moreover, if it is delayed any further, it is likely to slip out of their control.
Chu Er thought for a moment and randomly pointed at three people who had left a deep impression on him. During the previous fight, he noticed that these three people had a good foundation in martial arts, and the soldiers around them looked at them with sincere conviction and admiration.
Just from these details, we can tell that these three people are good candidates and should be small leaders among hundreds of people. There should be no problem for them to go out of the city to report the news.
As for the north gate, he left one hundred people to guard it, and the remaining two hundred followed him and An San to General Wang's mansion.
The matter has been dealt with, and he can't let it continue to be a mess.
If this continues, once the situation gets out of control, casualties are inevitable as swords and knives have no mercy.
If the two sides clash, the common people will definitely suffer!
