Chapter 1044 This is a trap, we are tricked!(1/2)
If King Zhao saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked.
Why is Zhao Kuo still alive?
How could it appear in the room of the eunuch?
Unfortunately, King Zhao doesn't know this scene at the moment.
The eunuch respectfully saluted Zhao Kuo, and then said, "Please rest assured, everything is in progress according to your plan and steps."
The eunuch Ling's attitude was even more humble than when facing King Zhao, because the eunuch Ling knew very well that after tonight, the man in front of him would become the most powerful man in the entire Zhao State! The eunuch Ling reported all the situation to Zhao Kuo in detail.
Zhao Kuo listened to these words with a smile and nodded slightly from time to time.
The reactions made by King Zhao were really not beyond Zhao Kuo's expectations.
The eunuch ordered him to ask: "Honey, do you need to arrange for leaving the palace?"
At present, all the military power in the entire palace is controlled by the eunuchs, so it is of course a trivial matter to arrange Zhao Kuo to leave the palace.
Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Leave the palace?
No, no, there is no need now.
I can stay here.
The king arranges you to do what you do.
After Li Mu returns to the palace later, you will inform me again."
The eunuch ordered him to nod respectfully and then quickly left.
After the eunuch's order left, Zhao Kuo sat quietly alone, without lighting the lights, just allowing himself to be surrounded by darkness.
Suddenly, another sound of footsteps sounded, but the strange thing was that the sound of footsteps seemed to be coming from under Zhao Kuo's feet.
A moment later, an exit suddenly appeared on the floor in front of Zhao Kuo, and then Su Li crawled out from inside.
Zhao Kuo looked at Su Li and said, "What's the situation?"
Su Li smiled and said, "It has been arranged and there is a backup plan."
As he said that, Su Li did not forget to show it to Zhao Kuo. Although it was in the dark, Su Li could still be seen vaguely wearing something - explosives.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "This backup plan is definitely not useful."
Su Li smiled and said, "Then let's borrow the auspicious words from the Lord."
Should the lord leave?
The Zhou brothers have led their troops to besiege our mansion, and I'm afraid there will be a little trouble."
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "It's okay, Li Mu and the eunuch Ling's ability to do things is still trustworthy. I will just wait here."
As he said that, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but yawn, so he simply lay on the bed of the eunuch Ling.
"I will sleep for a while. Please help me to wait for me and wake me up after the eunuchs orders back."
In this late night, Zhao Kuo fell asleep slowly, sleeping as sweet as King Zhao in the palace not far away.
Zhao Kuo slept very well, but there were many people in Handan City who couldn't sleep because they were very excited.
The Zhou brothers were very excited.
Looking at the plaque "Wu Xinjun" in front of him, and then at the gate of Wu Xinjun's mansion that was closed under the plaque, Zhou Shaoliang sneered and said to the soldiers of the Imperial Guards beside him: "Blast this plaque for me!"
Just when these imperial guards were about to take action, a dense crowd suddenly appeared on the walls of the mansion.
These people were fully armed, holding powerful crossbows in their hands. Hundreds of powerful crossbows lined up in a row, pointing at the imperial guards outside, which looked very deterrent.
Zhou Shaoliang was shocked, subconsciously rode his horse back a few steps, and then came to his senses, feeling a little embarrassed, but he refused to move forward.
A very cold voice came from the wall: "Who are you waiting for? Why are you trespassing into Wu Xinjun's Mansion? Are you not afraid of death?"
Zhou Shaoliang snorted heavily and said loudly: "I am Zhou Shaoliang. My brother Zhou Shaofen and I came to capture the prisoner by the order of the king!"
A cold voice said: "Who is the prisoner?
There are no criminals in our Wu Xinjun’s mansion!”
Zhou Shaoliang smiled and said calmly: "The prisoners are Tian Wan, Tian Qiu, Yiqiuwei and others, and all the children born to these three girls!"
The cold voice paused and said coldly: "So, are you here to capture my wife and all the young masters?"
Zhou Shaoliang said: "That's right! I have the king's order, so you can quickly open the door of the mansion, otherwise you will be disobeying!"
At this moment, Zhou Shaoliang can be said to be determined to win.
When he thought that as long as King Zhao's order was brought out, the Zhao Kuo's servant inside would be scared and open the door obediently.
But he was wrong.
A cold voice said indifferently: "You are talking nonsense. Mrs. Jun and the young master cannot be criminals. We will not open the door for you."
Zhou Shaoliang's face froze, and then he said angrily: "You dare to disobey the king's order?"
The cold voice suddenly burst into laughter and said, "You have to remember that this is Wu Xinjun's Mansion.
Only the orders of my master's family can take effect, do you understand?"
Zhou Shaoliang completely lost his patience in communication and roared: "Attack, attack this mansion, kill all the people inside!"
After receiving Zhou Shaoliang's order, the Three Thousand Imperial Guards launched an attack on Wu Xinjun's mansion.
Almost at the same time, an order came from the courtyard wall of the mansion: "Kill!"
The next moment, hundreds of powerful crossbows were fired together, and a whizzing sound rang out throughout the night. The crossbow arrows, like locusts, shot out directly, and immediately pierced through the bodies of hundreds of imperial guards in front.
The task of these imperial guards on weekdays is to protect King Zhao, so it is impossible for them to wear heavy armor for convenience. Ordinary leather armor is almost the same as paper-paste for these powerful crossbows.
The first wave of the Imperial Guards suffered a crushing defeat. After a moment of fierce battle, the Imperial Guards, who had left hundreds of corpses, had to retreat in a mess.
They could not break through the defense of Wu Xinjun's mansion at all! Looking at this scene, Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang's faces changed.
After all, these two people have not been on the battlefield for many years, so they forgot a little bit.
This is the mansion of Zhao Kuo, the world's number one military god, and the most important wife, children and other family members living in this mansion.
On the surface, this mansion is a very normal, luxurious and atmospheric mansion.
But in fact, Zhao Kuo had already quietly transformed this place into a military fortress located in Handan City! According to the joint evaluation of many generals under Zhao Kuo's command, if they have 1,000 Chiyou Army guards, at least 15,000 elite soldiers are needed to pay more than 5,000 people to break through this military fortress.
Why?
Because after removing the most exquisite equipment in the world, a large amount of explosives were stored here! The Zhou brothers and King Zhao both thought that Zhao Kuo’s mansion was a paper-paste shell, but they didn’t know that this was really as solid as a rock! Looking at the retreating army, Zhou Shaoliang’s face looked extremely ugly, and he shouted at the general of the Imperial Guard in front of him: “That’s how you lead the troops?
Your soldiers have such a combat power?"
After Zhou Shaoliang yelled, the generals of the Imperial Guard obviously couldn't see the face, and he defended: "Sir, I misunderstood. They have hundreds of powerful crossbows. If this powerful crossbow is shot directly, we can't reach it."
Zhou Shaoliang obviously disagreed with the explanation of the Imperial Guard general. He said viciously: "I don't care what your reasons are. I only know that if the two of us can't do this, then everyone will be in trouble after being punished! You can continue to organize the offensive immediately, and you must fight for me!"
Zhou Shaoliang is really anxious. You must know that this is a task assigned by King Zhao. If you can't even do such a task well, King Zhao will definitely be disappointed. Can Zhou Shaoliang continue to do this?
Zhou Shaofen, who was standing by, thought for a while, said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, second brother, go back immediately and mobilize all the guests of our Zhou Mansion to participate in this attack!"
Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Shaoliang also have many servants in the mansions, and the total number is more than 2,000. Although these servants are definitely not as good as elite troops in combat, they can still fight for a while.
Zhou Shaoliang also came to his senses when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go now!"
Half an hour later, Zhou Shaoliang rushed back with more than 2,000 disciples from the Zhou family mansion, with various swords and weapons.
"How is the situation, brother?"
Zhou Shaoliang couldn't wait to ask a question.
At this time, Zhou Shaofen's face looked very ugly and said, "The situation... is very bad.
This mansion is really hard to conquer!”
In the past half an hour, Zhou Shaofen watched the Imperial Guard launch wave after wave of attacks.
However, the Zhao Kuo disciples in the mansion who were suspected of Chiyou's army easily resisted the offensive of the Imperial Guards by relying on their powerful crossbows.
Occasionally, there were several very brave guards who could climb over the wall, but in just a few seconds these guards immediately became the dead souls of the defenders inside.
Half an hour passed, and the Imperial Guards made no progress except for leaving two or three hundred more bodies.
From the beginning of the battle to the present one hour, the three thousand imperial guards suffered nearly 800 casualties, but they still did not attack the mansion.
Many soldiers of the Imperial Guard had hesitant expressions on their faces, and they began to deliberately delay and procrastinate when attacking.
No one is a fool. You can see that the mansion in front of you is a meat grinder. Who is eating and has nothing to do and deliberately comes over to die?
Zhou Shaoliang gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, let's take all the troops and fight for him.
If it really doesn't work, I can only ask the king to continue sending more troops!"
Why didn’t you choose to ask King Zhao for help before?
That's because if you ask King Zhao for help, King Zhao will feel that the Zhou brothers are not doing their best.
But if there is really no way to conquer this place, it is a last resort to seeking help.
Zhou Shaofen nodded and said to the general of the Imperial Guard: "I will give you all the guests to command, and let's take the last attack."
To be continued...
