Chapter 800: The Dark Legion under the Night Sky
The sound of killing in Nankang Gate rumbling, and the Dongcheng of Yanjing is also covered with clouds at this time...
Around the house where the cabinet officials were under house arrest, the imperial guards had been unsheathed, surrounding the house to airtight.
On this solemn night, because the distance was too far, they could not hear the sound of killing from Nankang Gate, but some of them could clearly see that a meteor-like rocket suddenly appeared in the night sky in the south.
Rising from the ground, more than a dozen rockets soared into the sky, which was extremely conspicuous in the night sky.
The person in charge of the commander here was Liu Yao, the leader of the Fengxiang Camp archery troop, who was most trusted by Su Yuting.
The protruding rocket made Liu Yaodasheng, who was patrolling outside the hospital, alert.
As a senior general in this mutiny, he naturally knew that the Northwest Army was at the city, so in the past two days, he had been extremely cautious and had almost never closed his eyes.
He knew the weight of his responsibilities, and the cabinet officials he held could even become life-saving things when he had no choice but to be missed.
So when the rocket rose into the air, Liu Yao, who had experience in military affairs, knew very well that it was probably a signal of some kind.
"Strengthen your vigilance!" Liu Yao ordered his command to the commander beside him in a deep voice.
At this moment, a very strange sound of horse hooves sounded, and the carriage came from west to east. Soon, Liu Yao saw that in the dark, a black carriage was quickly galloping towards this side.
Liu Yao let out a "swish" sound, pulling out the sword at his waist. Almost at the same time, the Imperial Guard guarding outside the gate had already tightened the hilt, while the Imperial Guard standing on the wall quickly bent his bow and arrows to aim at the carriage coming.
This street has been extremely cold for several days, and no carriage has passed by.
And the most important thing is that within five miles of this house, all streets were strictly blocked, and it was impossible to break into a carriage, but at this moment, a carriage actually broke into it.
Liu Yao gave an order coldly.
"shoot!"
For a moment, bows and arrows came out at once, and the galloping horse was quickly shot into several vital points by arrows, and one of them was shot deep into one of the horse's eyes.
The horse neighed sadly.
Even dense arrows shot into the carriage.
These imperial archers are trained for a long time, and the strength of the bows and arrows is also extremely strong. If there is someone in the carriage, they will definitely be in danger of death after facing this round of attacks.
The horse was already covered with countless arrows, but it was still rushing towards this side like crazy.
An imperial guard beside Liu Yao came forward like the wind, holding the cold knife tightly in his hands, and approached the horse. The knife was like lightning. A cold light flashed by, and a big horse's head flew up in the blood mist.
The horse's head was cut off by this knife.
The speeding horse immediately fell forward with great force, and the carriage behind him was also turned around, and the "crunch" sounded, and the black carriage was broken on the ground in a moment.
...
Many imperial guards focused on the strange carriage that suddenly appeared. Liu Yao watched the horse fall down and the carriage was broken, his brows frowned, his face suddenly became shocked, and he shouted: "Beware of a sneak attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless "swish swish swish" sounds suddenly sounded in the cold air.
In the darkness, the arrows that suddenly shot out from the darkness ruthlessly shot into the bodies of many imperial guards. Many imperial guards did not react at all and were shot into the vital points and died instantly.
On the top of the wall, many imperial archers fell down, and their bodies slammed heavily on the wall.
"There are assassins!" Liu Yao shouted angrily: "Be careful in the yard, don't let them get close to the yard!"
Under the sudden attack, Liu Yao remained awake enough. With a scream, he quickly retreated to the yard, waving a big knife in his hand to block hidden weapons that might have shot into his vital areas.
The screams did not come only from the main entrance.
The ghosts in the dark night, the strongest dark legion under the night sky, began to launch a rhythmic surprise attack on the yard in a quiet voice.
Liu Yao was surprised. When he retreated into the yard, he looked outside the yard clearly and saw that in those unexpected places, groups of ghostly figures suddenly appeared, like ghosts suddenly emerged from the ground, and lightly attacked the house.
Liu Yao didn't know how many enemies the other party had, but he only saw black figures shining everywhere.
Those figures rushed towards the house without hesitation, and those hidden weapons that made strange sounds came with them.
Although the Imperial Guard was surprised, he was not panicked. He knew that it was difficult to resist the attacks of these ghosts outside the yard, so he retreated very quickly to the yard, covering his body behind various objects, and resisting the opponent's sharp attacks of hidden weapons.
The dark officials launched an attack at the same time around the house. After the first round of attacks, the yard was covered with the corpses of Imperial Guards. The dark officials made no hesitation at the moment when the Imperial Guards retreated, and quickly rushed out of all dark corners, stepped on the corpses, and climbed up the wall.
After the Royal Guards were frustrated, they immediately formed a battle formation. As soon as many dark officials climbed onto the wall, the bows and arrows shot from the yard penetrated their bodies.
The companion was caught in an arrow, and the dark official behind did not lose this opportunity. The moment the companion's corpse fell, he put it on the back of the corpse, followed the corpse and fell into the yard. He immediately shot hidden weapons at the bows and arrows points in the yard according to his own judgment.
For the Dark Officer, when performing a mission, he does not care about all means, and the purpose is to complete the mission.
If the death of the companions can be taken advantage of, they will definitely take any cost.
The archers ruthlessly counterattacked the dark officials who climbed up to the walls. When the royal swordsmen saw the dark officials rolling down the high walls, they rushed over without hesitation and fought each other in close combat.
From the appearance of that carriage to the dark officials entering the courtyard, the time it took was extremely short.
Before this operation, the Xihua Hall naturally made extremely careful arrangements. The map of the house had long been remembered by Li Gu and his subordinates. The room where the cabinet officials were imprisoned, the Xihua Hall had already figured out clearly before the operation. A tree, a well, and a small path in the house had been explored with the greatest ability by the Xihua Hall.
In the West Flower Hall, more than 200 dark officials were naturally divided into teams in advance, and each team's tasks were strictly deployed to attract attention, suddenly raid, enter the hospital to fight, approach the room, shoot and kill guards, rescue hostages, retreat methods, retreat routes, and unexpected responses. Each step was planned and modified countless times in advance.
This is the style of Xihua Hall doing things.
Countless baptisms and countless sacrifices have made every move of Xihua Hall perfect as much as possible. They allow huge sacrifices when performing tasks, but they absolutely do not allow their actions to fail.
There is nothing to do with the mistake of heaven's will, but if it fails because of humans, it will be a great shame and humiliation in the flower hall.
Moreover, the officials of the Flower Hall knew very well that compared to any previous actions, perhaps this action was the most important one in history. The success or failure of the mission was directly related to the rise and fall of the Great Yan.
So when the action began, more than 200 flower hall officials issued a thunderous blow from the darkness according to the pre-arranged action steps.
In the shortest time, they achieved the target set in advance and quickly entered the courtyard from all corners of the house.
Xihua Hall put almost all its troops into this attack.
These kings of the dark world will do whatever they want to complete the tasks they undertake.
After entering the yard, the dark officials arranged in advance, some fought and covered, while others quickly approached the houses that imprisoned the giants of the aristocratic families in the light of swords and shadows.
All around the yard, in the darkness, ghostly dark officials and the Imperial Guards were killed in one place. The surprise attack skills of these dark officials were amazing, but the most terrifying thing was the various deadly weapons they carried. They did not pursue the so-called real martial arts, nor did they pay attention to the openness and integrity of fighting. For them, as long as they killed the enemy, they would do everything they could.
They themselves are the most sharp and bloodthirsty killing machines, and their bodies contain the intention of blood killing. Every move is like wind and thunder, which is vicious and cruel, and they sacrifice their lives.
Although the Imperial Guards are all first-class elite soldiers and even have a certain advantage in terms of number, they are obviously very uncomfortable in the face of these dark officials who use darkness as the world and secret moves as their unique skills, and their casualties are obviously far greater than those of the dark officials.
Many people have guessed in their hearts that what they are facing is the group of ghosts that have always been silent in their country.
In the past, they were guarding Yanjing and the Great Yan Kingdom, but tonight, they were fighting each other, and that night, the Imperial Guards also learned the horror of the dark officials.
Horror is not a legend, but a bloody reality.
Liu Yao fought against two dark officials at this time. Although he was not at a disadvantage, he always had to beware of the strange tricks that these two opponents suddenly used, and even more worried about the evil hidden weapons that could be emitted from anywhere on them.
"Protect the yard, send signals, and ask for reinforcements!" Liu Yao roared.
An archer hid behind the battle group and took out a signal and called an arrow, bent his bow and shot it into the sky.
This kind of arrow can make extremely loud and clear sounds when it hits the air, which can make reinforcements arrive quickly.
Just as his hand loosened the strings, he saw a knife flashing. He heard a "bang" sound. The bow string he pulled was cut off by a dagger. The arrow only rose to the distance of one hand and fell down like a dead fish.
The archer was surprised and felt a very strange feeling appearing in his throat, but the other party shot a sleeve arrow in an instant, piercing through his throat.

ps: I went home yesterday and was ready for updates, but my hometown has not been useful for a long time, and the network cable was broken. I had no choice but to find someone to do it. I came up today. Whether you believe this reason or not, I believe it.
I was talking too slowly for me yesterday and I slapped me by myself. I'm sorry for everyone.
There will definitely be another update today. If you break your promise this time, you will collectively slap me!
