Chapter 042 Assassination
The rebels outside the city organized the second and third attacks, but were soon beaten back by Lin Zimo and others. These two attacks of the rebels were very hurried and retreated without approaching the wall. After all, during the first confrontation between the two sides, the rebels did not expect that their opponents would be so hard. When they were beaten back, their morale was greatly affected. Therefore, if they launch a new round of offensive, they will have psychological obstacles.
Until nightfall, the rebels did not launch a fourth wave of attacks. After all, their coach saw the whole process clearly. If he wants to completely take down the city opposite him, he has to wait until tomorrow. You have to let the soldiers regain their courage, otherwise the effectiveness of the attack will be greatly reduced.
The head of the city has lit a torch, and Lin Zimo gathered the people who can still fight and said, "Did any of you volunteer to go out of the city with me and Zhao Baihu to attack the rebel camp at night? And the result of our going out this time will be nine deaths. If there is someone who is not afraid of death and wants to get rich, come to my side.
Zhao Wenxuan, standing on his left, said truthfully, "We are going here, so you should be prepared to die. At this time, Master Lin and I will not force any of you. You can go back and think about it. If you think about it, come to the tower to find the two of us.
Lin Zimo, who knew that he was dead, took a look at Zhao Wenxuan and then disbanded the crowd. He thought that even if he died, he would die more magnificently. On this day, Lin Zimo, who had killed many people, had no fear of death. In addition, I am a person who has died once, so I face life and death more calmly.
After the two left, they went straight into the tower to rest and prepare. Even if no one wants to come, they will attack the enemy camp outside the city at night. After all, this is the only chance to survive. Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan clearly knew that their behavior was like a red-eyed gambler. If the two want to win, there is nothing but this method.
It didn't take long for people to come to the tower to look for them one after another, and one of them was Chu Erlang. Chu Dalang once dissuaded his own brothers from going. After all, there are still more than 2,000 rebels outside the city. He knew that once the consequences were discovered by the enemy, it would be difficult to fly. However, his own brother still did not follow his advice, but walked into the tower without hesitation and really wanted to go with them.
Lin Zimo saw his arrival and did not feel happy, but called him to a secluded place outside and whispered, "Don't go with us. If we can't come back before dawn, you and your eldest brother will follow my earlier instructions to you. That's what you should do, not join us."
"I... I still want to go." Chu Erlang, who was a little excited, said, "I'm not afraid of death."
"When Zhao Wenxuan and I are not here, you will assume the responsibility of the general." The corners of Lin Zimo's mouth moved slightly. He stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just do as I say. There seems to be no trace of rebels in the south of the city, so you can run towards the south of the city.
Chu Erlang wanted to say two more words, but he stopped him. Lin Zimo, who has made up his mind, will never let his brother-in-law go together. At present, he is so selfish that he has put life and death aside. As an official, he is already sorry for the people of the whole city, and as a husband, he is even more sorry for his family. Since there is nothing I can do to save tens of thousands of people, I can only find ways to save the lives of my family.
After completing the explanation, Lin Zimo calmly returned to the tower and talked to Zhao Wenxuan about the position of Chu Erlang as the temporary general. As for his little selfishness, he didn't mention a word. Wang Qiang's arrival made Lin Zimo shine. After all, Zhao Wenxuan said that this boy killed nine rebels in a row.
I believe that since he can kill so many enemies, it is enough to prove that his martial arts are quite good. Their assassination and sneak attack this time is more like a special operation. The more capable the members of the team are, the more likely they will be successful. Lin Zimo welcomed the arrival of Wang Qiang.
"The righteousness of adults makes me, Wang Qiang, admire me. You are not only a good official of my Ming Dynasty, but also the pride of my Pingnan County. Wang Qiang, kneeling on the ground with one knee, held his fists and said, "I'm willing to be the pawn of the forest book at your disposal."
Lin Zimo helped him up with both hands and said, "I'm not as good as you said. That's just a duty."
Wang Qiang, who stood up Xu, felt that he was shining more, so his admiration for him rose to another level. Lin Zimo and Wang Qiang gossiped a few words and then split up to sharpen their blades, and then went to bed and rest. They planned to fall into the city with ropes in the middle of the night and travel lightly to the enemy camp at night. Zhao Wenxuan selected ten of the 23 people who came and the two of them to form the death squad for this operation.
The twelve people who were properly prepared quietly fell down the city with ropes and marched forward in the dark. When they came to the door of the rebel camp, they found that several soldiers standing on guard had fallen asleep, and the whole situation was as Lin Zitly expected. Rebels who relax their vigilance will not think they have the courage and strength to kill out of the city.
The rebels believed that their hope was waiting for reinforcements. As for the three people sent by Zhao Wenxuan, two people have been caught, tortured and killed by rebel soldiers. Their opponents are so unscrupulous because they have obtained some valuable information and firmly believe that they can't wait for that day.
Before that, Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan did a good job in the division of labor. He went to assassinate the rebel general, and he went to set fire and create chaos. The twelve people lurking outside the camp gate carefully observed the movements and situations around them. After all, a slight mistake would lead to the failure of the task. Whether it is for them personally or for the people of the whole city, they are only allowed to succeed and not fail.
Lin Zimo, who figured out the situation, took Wang Qiang to find the camp where the rebel commander lived, while Zhao Wenxuan, who disguised, took the rest of the people and quietly entered their camp to find the best mobile operator. Before the two broke up, they had already discussed it, waited until Lin Zimo and Wang Qiang won, and then worked together to disturb the enemy's military and create chaos.
Lin Zimo and Wang Qiang, who pulled out a dagger from a boot, were extremely careful and paid special attention for fear of alarming the enemy soldiers lying on the ground sleeping. They saw a lot of rebel tents, but they did not touch them one after another. Instead, they were looking for a camp with a guard outside the tent and a relatively large area.
Lin Zimo, who took Wang Qiang, was still easier to find the position of the general, so the two walked behind a sentry who was dozed off and killed them cleanly. Lin Zimo and Wang Qiang, who were not in a hurry to enter, in order not to be found, also put the enemy soldiers who killed them in a sleeping position on the ground to hide their eyes and ears.
Lin Zimo quietly lifted the tent with the dagger in his hand, and then slowly touched it in. Wang Qiang, who did not follow him, stood outside the tent to give him the wind. The movement of two people entering is always higher than that of one person. In order not to disturb the assassination target, it is better to go in alone, and Lin Zimo's weapon is a dagger, so it is easier to assassinate.
Lin Zimo, who entered the camp, looked around and found that there was no other sound except the 'clap' sound of the carbon fire. There is only himself and the enemy's general in the whole camp, and there is no third person. Lin Zimo, who stood still and did not move, saw the rebel master sleeping in front of him with the help of fire.
Lin Zimo, who moved slowly, did not cause any other noise. In the end, he finally came to the rebel general. He raised the dagger high and was about to stab him in the lower abdomen. Lying flat, he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly raised an arm to block Lin Zimo's dagger.
"Come on, there are assassins." The rebel master shouted loudly, considering that he had been cut and bleeding by a dagger.
Lin Zimo, who failed,'s first reaction was not to escape, but to pounce on him. The rebel leader, who was a little panicked, hurriedly rolled to the inside and dodged Lin Zimo's knife again.
Wang Qiang, who heard the sound outside the door, broke in with a knife in his hand and couldn't help running towards the rebel general. The leader of the rebels was also the one who crawled out of the dead. Although he was a little flustered, his mind was still calm and he got up in a hurry. Lin Zimo, who didn't want to give up, flew up and stabbed him for the third time.
And the leader of the rebel army was originally a practitioner, and he was particularly alert when he slept. The reason why Lin Zimo's first move was not successful was not that his feet made a sound, but that he was less lucky. After a cup of tea before entering the camp, the leader of the rebels happened to wake up to solve it. He lay down again and was still asleep, and Lin Zimo touched it in. He suddenly felt that there was someone in front of him, so he instinctively opened his eyes to look at it, so that he could avoid the deadly knife.
With the help of Wang Qiang, Lin Zimo did not even hurt the key point of the rebel leader, and he fought with them while shouting loudly. Soon, four soldiers led by a rebel leader suddenly appeared in the camp. Hearing the noise, they came in to check it, but they didn't expect such a scene to happen.
