Chapter 852 The Four Assassins
Baishui Pass in Yizhou, this place is the main battlefield for the Yizhou army to fight against the Hanzhong army.
Yang Su, the commander of the imperial-level commander of the Sui Dynasty, wanted to capture Baishui Pass and open the road to Hanzhong.
The one who defended Baishui Pass was the Yiren prince Liu An, who was also the player lord who cooperated with the Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and he has always been the mortal enemy of the Hanzhong lord Zhang Dao.
The two of them have been facing each other for many years, but Liu Bei and Yang Su entered Yizhou, robbing the main players and seizing Liu An's territory.
In anger, Liu An turned to cooperate with his mortal enemy Zhang Dao, defending Baishui to block the dangerous passage between Chengdu and Hanzhong, disgusting Liu Bei and Yang Su.
There are many roads to attack Hanzhong, and you can attack from Baishui Pass and Ba County. Relatively speaking, the Yizhou army tends to take down Baishui Pass because it is relatively easy to replenish supplies.
Because Liu An was guarding Baishui Pass to death, and the terrain in Shu was dangerous, Yang Su was unable to quickly capture Baishui Pass for a while, and was stopped by Baishui Pass for 47 days, and could not advance half a step.
"Liu An is a big problem for me and must be eliminated."
In Yang Su's military tent, Yang Su invites an alien player.
For their own interests, players often become active in the battle for hegemony among the princes and make profits, which may be for status or gold and silver.
This player has been dealing with Yang Su for several years and the two sides have cooperated.
At first, the player's loyalty was Cao Cao, and later he was bribed by Yang Su's lord Zhao Long.
After Zhao Long was killed, this person followed Yang Su, who gave him the status and gold and silver he wanted.
He was attracted by Yang Su and immediately guessed Yang Su's intention.
"You want me to send someone to assassinate Liu An? This is expensive."
This player made a gesture to ask Yang Su for gold and silver.
Yang Su has already understood the greed of players: "In the past three years, I have rewarded you with no less than three thousand taels of silver every year, which is not a small amount."
"I have a few assassins that need to be supported. They are the best assassins in the world. Even people at the level of princes can be assassinated successfully. At the beginning, Cao Cao and Zhao Long used the assassin's hands to achieve their goals. If they want to assassinate Liu An, they must have 1,500 taels of gold. If the assassin accidentally died, an additional 1,500 taels of gold would be required."
"In other words, a total of three thousand taels of gold is needed..."
Yang Su's eyes were a bit harsh.
The player's bid is very high, but this person did recruit a group of assassins, including NPCs and free players.
Cao Cao and Zhao Long have used this group of assassins to serve him.
The player said: "Even if you spend 3,000 taels of gold to kill Liu An and take advantage of the fact that the defenders have no leader and capture Baishui Pass, it is quite valuable. Why should you hesitate? Besides, the top assassin focuses on chivalrousness, not gold and silver. In order to make them owe me favors, I spent a lot of time. It took me five years for the top assassin to find ways to establish friendship with him. So three,000 taels of gold is not a small amount."
"Forget it, then there are three thousand taels of gold. If the assassination is successful, one or two will not be missing."
In order to open the passage to Hanzhong as soon as possible, Yang Su has become crazy and even uses any means.
The siege of Yang Su's army at Baishui Pass ended, and 200,000 troops left Baishui Pass one after another.
The defenders of Baishui Pass were already ready to fight to the death with Yang Su's army, but Yang Su's sudden withdrawal made the defenders of Baishui Pass breathe a sigh of relief and celebrated the enemy's retreat.
"It seems that Yang Su retreated when he saw that Baishui Pass could not capture it for a long time and lost tens of thousands of troops. If it weren't for Liu Bei, Yang Su fled to Yizhou and occupied the magpie's nest, I would have replaced Liu Yan and become the leader of Yizhou, so I would be unwilling to accept it!"
Liu An thought of the status of Yizhou's majesty at his fingertips, and was snatched away by Liu Bei and Yang Su, and he still gritted his teeth.
Baishui Pass is not easy to attack, so Yang Su led his troops to retreat, which was natural in Liu An's opinion.
When Yang Su retreated to two hundred miles away, there was a tendency to return to Zitong, and the Baishui Pass defenders were even more relaxed, believing that Yang Su had completely given up attacking Baishui Pass, and he immediately relaxed.
The city gate of Baishui Pass opened, transporting grain and grass from surrounding villages and towns, and entering the pass for replenishment.
And at this time, there are mixed things.
"I heard that Liu Bei personally led the army to attack the southern barbarians and suffered a lot of losses in the mountains and forests. Yang Su had Han Qinhu, Huluguang, Gao Su and others, and was brave and good at fighting. If Baishui Pass was not easy to defend but difficult to attack, he might have been captured by Yang Su long ago. Now Yang Su retreated his troops, it would be wise to let his head break through."
Liu An led a group of generals to inspect the city defense of Baishui Pass and repair the damaged city walls.
Outside Baishui Pass, Yang Su asked someone to burn siege equipment, and there was a ruin, which made the Baishui Pass defenders believe that Yang Su retreated.
"The King of Xia heard that I resisted Yang Su at Baishui Pass and delayed Yang Su's military attack, and praised us very much. After the King of Xia pacified Liaodong, he would meet me. In the future, we will surrender to King of Xia, and we will have the opportunity to be a marquis."
As an inconspicuous prince of Yizhou, Liu An was not as popular as Zhang Dao or even Mu Ke in the Southern Barbarians, but he was also the target of Chu Tian's favor and had the opportunity to be appointed as a marquis.
Liu An's generals learned that their lord planned to rely on the strongest King of Xia, and that they would become the King of Xia in the future, and their future prospects were bright, so their morale was greatly boosted and they were more motivated to defend Baishui Pass.
Hundreds of wheelbarrow trucks transported the food and grass to Baishui Pass to replenish previous losses.
Suddenly, a wheelbarrow fell near Liu'an, causing a small-scale riot.
"Food and grass are a military affairs. You go and help and quickly transport the food and grass to the granary."
Liu Anling went forward to help.
Suddenly, the sharp sword was unsheathed, and the civilian who transported the food was calm, and he strided hard toward Liu An!
"Save the car!"
As murderous intent suddenly appeared, Liu An's personal soldiers looked pale and in chaos!
No one would have thought that after almost certain that Yang Su had withdrawn 200 miles, there would be a professional assassin who would take action, intending to conquer the world with one sword!
Liu An had a group of personal soldiers around him, either high-level troops or military generals!
The personal soldiers approaching Liu An hurriedly drew out their swords, trying to stop the assassin who suddenly attacked!
The cold light slashed, and the assassin's attack move was fatal, almost all of which were sure to kill. With the ambition to go but not return, he headed straight to Liu An!
One by one, one by one, was killed by a sharp sword, and there were as many as thirteen people who fell under the assassin's sword!
"Don't hurt my lord!"
A diamond-level general takes action, trying to stop the assassin!
When the assassin attacked, the position of this diamond-level general was considered!
The big sword slashed at the assassin's long sword and knocked it away!
At this time, the assassin abandoned his sword, shattered Liu An's throat with his sword sheath, and assassinated him!
Top assassins, even scabbards, can be used as weapons to kill people!
The second sword of the diamond-level general arrived immediately. The assassin wanted to dodge, but in order to kill Liu An, it was too late to be injured by the diamond-level general!
"Kill him!"
Liu An's personal soldiers surrounded the assassins!
The assassin was small, only five feet tall, holding the only remaining scabbard, looking around indifferently at the hundreds of personal soldiers who had reacted at this time, as well as the black Baishui Pass defenders.
Surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers, even the most powerful assassin in the world cannot escape.
A small-scale sneak attack, the top assassin bleeded five steps, almost invincible, but he could not compete with the army that fought on the battlefield.
If a large army attacks with arrow rain or spear quadratic array, any assassin will die.
"If you kill my lord, you must pay your life!"
Liu An usually treats his generals well. When Liu An was suddenly killed by an assassin, these generals were so angry!
"I want to kill Liu An, not for the title or salary, but for the repayment of kindness. My wish is over."
The assassin held the scabbard and rushed into the army.
Even though there are thousands of people, there is no hesitation.
The dense forest of guns stabbed at the assassin!
One man, with only a sword sheath, killed twenty-seven more people.
In the military formation, the assassin's force seemed to be suppressed and could not fully exert it. He was severely injured and left a bloody hole in his body.
In the end, the assassin, who claimed to be leaving, snatched a soldier's sword and committed suicide.
Thousands of eyes focused on the assassin. He agreed to assassinate Liu An, but he did not think that he could leave alive.
If you want to fall into a pool of blood, Baishuiguan is in chaos.
The defenders of Baishui Pass did not care about who Yaoli was.
The lord of Baishui Pass was assassinated, and the dragons in Baishui Pass were headless.
"Yang Su's cavalry is here again!"
The defenders of Baishui Pass had no time to deal with the chaos after Liu An was assassinated, and the enemy's cavalry once again came to the city!
The cavalry general Han Qinhu led the cavalry to lie out during the day and go out at night, and ran for a long distance, killing a retaliation!
The chaos in Baishuiguan turned into fear.
"Yang Su, it must be an assassin sent by Yang Su to assassinate our lord!"
At this point, the Baishui Pass defenders have understood that this assassin was sent by Yang Su, and that Yang Su's withdrawal was an absolute trap!
Under Baishui Pass, the player who sent an assassin to the assassination of Liu An couldn't help but feel sorry for the damaged assassin.
Yaoli is a famous assassin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and some people are about to be ranked among the four major assassins.
If a real assassin goes to assassinate the princes, he will basically go but never return, because the princes will be angry regardless of life or death, regardless of life or death, the anger of their generals will be vented on the assassin.
Seeing that the assassin was so useful, Yang Su said to the player: "I didn't expect to take Liu An's life so easily. I wonder if I could assassinate King Xia and take the life of King Xia? King Xia is in the limelight now and will sooner or later become enemies of him."
The player who recruited the assassin shook his head: "In order to assassin Liu An, a legendary assassin has been sacrificed. The guards around King Xia are not on the same level as Liu An's guard. It is reported that King Xia always has a fierce general Dian Wei as a personal guard. I am afraid that even a legendary assassin will be difficult to be close to each other, and the assassin will be difficult to succeed. Besides, isn't it so easy to recruit a legendary assassin? I am left with only the kindness of a legendary assassin."
There is another reason, this player did not explain it clearly.
He used the legendary assassin's character of repaying kindness, so he ordered Yaoli to assassinate Liu An, but he did not dare to assassinate Chu Tian.
When Liu An assassination, Liu An's subordinates may not be able to take revenge on him, because Liu An is no longer a powerful prince and is unable to fight back. He is currently just a prince at the bottom, and he is scattered with money.
Chu Tian is different. Chu Tian is the most powerful prince. Not to mention the poor success rate of assassination of Chu Tian, whether he assassination, success or failure, he will be frantically revenge by Chu Tian's forces.
Players are greedy for gold and silver, but it does not mean they are desperate for life.
It would be fine to assassinate the small princes, but assassinate the big princes would be deadly.
