Chapter 70 Accident
No matter how Wei Shikang persuaded him, he could not dispel Yang Yong's idea of personally leading the team to wipe out the Goguryeo stronghold in the city. Wei Shikang had no choice but to instruct Wei Chong to protect Yang Yong's safety no matter what.
From the time of Chou to Yin, it was the time when the human body was sleeping the most. The gate of the governor's mansion quietly opened, and three teams came out of it, each team had more than one hundred people, and they rushed in three directions.
The reason why we act at night is mainly because we do not want to cause turmoil in the city. There are many alien races in Yingzhou. If the governor's mansion acts during the day, it will inevitably cause uneasiness to others. Moreover, the governor's mansion does not have any strong reasons to arrest these people. Yang Yong's identity is naturally to be kept secret. It cannot be said that they will be arrested just by following the people who went out of the governor's mansion, let alone there is no evidence of their stalking.
Yang Yong only brought half of his personal soldiers, and half of them were elite soldiers provided by the governor's mansion. It was Wei Chong and his fifty subordinates who quietly walked on the street. At this time, the street was pitch black and there was no pedestrian. Occai occasionally heard the sound of the dog, which broke the tranquility on the street.
The courtyard where the Goguryeo people lived was located between the North City Gate and the governor's mansion. In half an hour, everyone arrived at their destination. The wall outside the courtyard was as high as 500 meters high, and the entire wall looked tall and sturdy.
Wei Chong took the lead and was about to kick the door open directly. One of Yang Yong's personal soldiers immediately stopped him. The two personal soldiers brought by Yang Yong took out an iron hook from their arms and threw it on the wall. The iron hook immediately hung a solid on the wall. The two of them climbed up like monkeys and arrived on the wall in a few breaths.
The two changed the iron hook in one direction on the wall, slid down as light as floating hair. Just as they were about to hit the ground, a gust of storm came from behind. Both of them were shocked and rolled up quickly, avoiding the attack of two wolfhounds as big as leopards.
The two were shocked at the same time, but they didn't expect that the family still had wolf dogs. Fortunately, the beast did not shout, otherwise it would be exposed immediately. Looking at the two pairs of eyes flashing with green light in the dark, the two personal soldiers were calm and raised their hands to point one wolf dog. Only a few sounds of slap and the two wolf dogs fell to the ground and died before they could hum.
The gate of the house opened quietly, and Wei Chong rushed in first. Although the sound of the two wolf dogs hitting lightly just now, they could hear clearly in the dead of night. The people waiting outside couldn't help but sweat for the two inside. When Wei Chong saw the corpses of the two wolf dogs, he looked at the two personal soldiers in surprise. He killed the two wolf dogs so neatly that Wei Chong could only barely do it.
As soon as the door opened, a group of elite soldiers entered the courtyard without any obstacles and immediately divided into two teams and rushed towards the depths of the courtyard. Yang Yong's personal soldiers were obviously faster than Wei Chong's subordinates. They kicked the door open and put the weapons on the neck of the sleeping person inside.
"Who?" A shout came from the inner courtyard. However, this shout immediately turned into a silent cicada, because those who made the sound often immediately found cold weapons on their necks.
Dozens of people in disarray were brought to the yard. Their teeth were trembling. Whether it was because of the cold or fear, the people in front of them suddenly rushed into the yard in the middle of the night. I don’t know what they were from. Although they did not kill people, everyone could feel that if they resisted, the people around them with weapons would never be ruthless.
"Bang, bang." The sound of weapons intersecting came from the backyard, and finally someone began to resist.
Luo Yi and Zheng Xiong rushed into the backyard with Yang Yong quickly walked towards the backyard. Wei Chong ran ahead when he heard the sound of fighting. When Yang Yong brought people into the backyard, he saw several injured Yingzhou soldiers leaning at the door. One of them was pierced by the enemy's left chest. Although he had a breath, he was no longer able to save him.
The people around Yang Yong were slightly surprised. Although these Yingzhou troops were far behind Yang Yong's personal soldiers, they were also elite. They were attacked in such a midnight raid and were counterattacked by the enemy. There might be masters among these Goguryeo people.
The sound of the intersecting weapons still did not stop, but became more and more intense. Yang Yong did not care about checking the wounded and hurriedly brought people into the backyard. The backyard was the most exquisite place in the entire courtyard. There was a small garden with more than ten torches inserted around it, which clearly showed the more than 20 people fighting in the garden. Among them, Wei Chong brought fifteen Yingzhou troops and eight owners of the yard. However, except for Wei Chong's own slightly superiority, his subordinates seemed very difficult to use two to one.
The one who fought with Wei Chong was a young man in his twenties. The young man was dressed as a Central Plains man. Although Wei Chong roared repeatedly and temporarily gained the upper hand, the youth's defense was tight, and the two were difficult to separate and defeat.
Seeing someone coming in again, the people fighting against the Yingzhou army were immediately anxious. Several people obviously ignored their lives and directly crashed into the weapons in the hands of the Yingzhou soldiers. Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers' weapons were not available, they fiercely killed two Zhou soldiers and opened a gap around them.
A Goguryeo man dragged his seriously injured body, slashed at Wei Chong with a steel knife in his hand, shouting loudly at the young man. Seeing his anxious expression, Yang Yong guessed that he was just asking the young man to leave quickly.
"Shoot!" Yang Yong's personal soldiers had hand crossbows. Seeing that Wei Chong's subordinates were at a disadvantage, they used hand crossbows to deal with the enemy without hesitation.
Close-up crossbows are undoubtedly life-determination, especially when they are completely illuminated by torches at night. As soon as the crossbow is fired, a sound of "thump, plop." comes from the sound of "thump, plop." and the Goguryeo people fell one after another.
"Hurry, protect the young master and retreat into the room." A man who was shot in the arrow shouted in Goguryeo. Yang Yong's personal soldiers were still merciless and wanted to capture them alive. They did not shoot these people with vital points. Most of them were shot in the legs and feet. The man was hit by four or five arrows in his legs, but he stood up and blocked the way with his own body. Then the same was true for the other two people who were shot in the arrow.
"Bo, Bow." There were several more arrows, and the three Goguryeo people blocking the road finally fell down. But taking advantage of the time when they blocked the road, the young man and four followers who had just fought with Wei Chong seized the opportunity, retreated back and closed the door with a slam.
"Snatch, grab, grab..." The arrows still shot into the room through the carved spaces on the door, and a scream suddenly came out. Obviously, another Goguryeo man was caught in the arrow.
Seeing the Goguryeo people fleeing into the room, Yang Yong refused to command the personnel to rush in and take risks. Such dark nights can be illuminated by moonlight and torches in the yard. If you enter the room, it will be dark and can only fight in a melee, and the people who enter later will obviously suffer.
"Breaking the door open first."
It was not difficult to open the door. Luo Yi directly swept it with a spear and swept it open. He was only facing a dark gate, where five powerful martial arts people were hidden, and no one dared to rush in recklessly.
"Snatch, grab, grab..." Several more rounds of arrows shot in, and there was no sound inside.
"Drop the torch."
The torches burning in the garden were plucked up and threw them into the hall. There were arrows that had just been shot in the hall. A corpse fell beside the door, and four others disappeared.
This is just a hall, connecting the hall with three doors, which are the wing rooms and the main rooms on both sides. The few people who entered hide in which room, or there are in each room, so they can only check it one by one.
The torches were thrown into the two rooms without any response. Only when the torches in the main room were thrown into the room, they were beaten out.
"Don't throw it again!" Several torches were thrown in. This time, there was a torch that the other party had no time to knock it out, and it was cleared out the figure inside. It was enough time. Yang Yong was about to order people to fire crossbow arrows again, but Wei Chong rushed in and attacked the people inside.
"It's such a waste." Yang Yong couldn't help but curse. As soon as Wei Chong entered, his personal soldiers had only crossbow arrows but could not fire again, so they had to rush into the room.
Wei Chong may have heartache, and his subordinates were killed and injured, and he actually fought with four people in the room. If Yang Yong's personal soldiers had not followed up in time, he would have been seriously injured even if he did not die. In order to protect the young man, these people obviously had the intention to sacrifice their lives. As long as one person struggled to hold Wei Chong up, Wei Chong would suffer a great loss no matter how good his martial arts skills were.
After entering the room, Yang Yong's personal soldiers no longer had any scruples and fired crossbow arrows again. Amid a series of "snatch, grab, grab...", the other three people also fell one after another.
Yang Yong's personal soldiers still did not shoot the vital points of these people. The three of them were all shot arrows, but after they were shot, they were still extremely fierce. When several Yingzhou soldiers wanted to tie them up, the three of them fought desperately. The Yingzhou soldiers were not polite and punched and kicked these people.
"Luo Yi, come on, catch him alive." Seeing that Wei Chong was still fighting with the only young man left in the room, Yang Yong was very impatient.
"Yes." Luo Yi held a spear and swept the young man down the plate with one shot. The Goguryeo young man was struggling to deal with Wei Chong's attack. Although he saw Luo Yi swept the spear, he had no way to avoid it. He felt his legs hurt and he couldn't help but fall to the ground with a plop.
The young man was about to struggle, but Luo Yi's gun was pressing heavily on his waist and could no longer move. Luo Yi seemed extremely chic and said coolly: "Tie."
Wei Chong put away his weapons in disappointment. Seeing that he was about to win, Luo Yi made a move. Of course, Wei Chong had an objection, but it was Yang Yong's order, and Wei Chong had no choice.
Seeing that the young man was captured, several people who were seriously injured and looked like the crowd changed their faces. While the soldiers who were guarding them were unprepared, they actually picked up weapons on the ground and committed suicide. The soldiers could not rescue them and stared at the three bodies in a daze.
"Search and see if there are any people inside?" Yang Yong ordered. Things are getting more and more interesting. Maybe this time they caught a big man from Goguryeo, otherwise there would be no such dead soldiers following him. As long as the young man was caught, those dead soldiers would die.
Except for Zheng Xiong who was still with Yang Yong, the other personal soldiers broke into the main room and searched it. After searching the main room, he also searched the side room. One personal soldiers returned to the report: "Young master, there is no one, but the room on the left seems to be a woman's boudoir, but no woman was found."
"Oh." Yang Yong also entered the room on the left and looked at the layout inside carefully. There were bronze mirrors, dressing tables, and rouge next to them. The most important thing was some women's clothes, which really looked like women's rooms.
The brocade quilt on the bed was in a mess, and it was obvious that the owner left in a hurry. Yang Yong walked closer and touched the quilt, and there was a hint of warmth. At the same time, a faint fragrance also poured into Yang Yong's nose.
Looking at the Goguryeo young man tied to death, Yang Yong smiled and said, "Maybe this guy has a quirk."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Yang Yong waved his hand: "Okay, the successor will withdraw his troops." Since there is no one inside or outside, it doesn't matter if a woman runs away.
"Sir, please withdraw the troops."
Everyone immediately began to divide the work. Some people searched for important things in the mansion, while others began to dig holes in the yard and buried the dead Goguryeo people on the spot. The bodies of officers and soldiers were collected and returned. After they were discharged from the hospital, they sealed them with the seal of the government on the gate, and the large mansion suddenly became an empty house.
In the information given by Wei Xiaokuan, there were only 32 people in this courtyard, but there were eight more people. It was these eight people who caused four deaths and five injuries to Wei Chong's subordinates. Yang Yong's personal soldiers did not suffer any casualties. Yang Yong's personal soldiers acted quickly. Most of the 32 people in front were captured by Yang Yong's subordinates. Wei Chong's troops were slower and had to rush into the backyard first. Unexpectedly, they encountered danger in the backyard.
When he escorted dozens of prisoners back to the governor's mansion, Yang Yong realized that his team was the first to complete the task. Seeing that Yang Yong was safe, Wei Shikang still let go of most of his heart even though several officers and soldiers were killed and injured.
It was almost dawn that the other two teams returned. The two teams were much more miserable than Yang Yong's team. More than 20 people died and injured. However, these two Khitan strongholds were taken down and more than ten people were captured. The rest of the Khitans were killed in resistance.
Wei Podi was ashamed when he saw Yang Yong and Wei Shikang. None of the three pieces of information he provided was accurate. It was precisely because of the serious underestimation of the opponent that caused such a large casualty. If it was arrested during the day, the casualties would probably be even more severe.
