Chapter 311: Assassination Proves Effective Every Time! (2/2)
“Where is Commander Qin?! Have him seal the town gate! Someone assassinated the duke and is now trying to flee! From now on, not even a fly can be allowed to escape!” After Bai Xiaofei’s angry roar, the soldiers at the base of the wall immediately ran up. Bai Xiaofei led Tie Zhu’s group of fifteen up onto the wall as well.
Like before, the soldiers didn’t dare to doubt his identity, not to mention stopping him.
“General! Please show me your token!”
Bai Xiaofei had just reached the top of the city wall when Commander Qin, with over forty men, stopped him. But before Bai Xiaofei could speak, there was suddenly a commotion below.
“The fake is there! Catch him!”
When a loud voice echoed from below, Commander Qin immediately reacted.
“I’m sorry to have offended you, General! I'll take someone to catch that little thief!” said Commander Qin to Bai Xiaofei, then waved his hand and took over 40 soldiers around him to run down the wall.
However, when he was passing by Bai Xiaofei, he never expected that a blow would land on his head.
“You are still not smart enough!”
Bai Xiaofei’s slap had Commander Qin dizzy. At the same time, Tie Zhu’s group immediately drew their blades and cut down a dozen soldiers around.
The remaining twenty-odd soldiers were simply welcoming a one-sided massacre. With Bai Xiaofei in place, they had no chance to fight back.
After handling the enemy soldiers around, Bai Xiaofei had his remaining 30 troops go up as well. The over 50 troops collectively changed into the uniform of soldiers guarding the town and then threw the bodies down the wall. Picking up Commander Qin’s token, Bai Xiaofei then transformed into Commander Qin.
With Tie Zhu and the others, Bai Xiaofei with Commander Qin’s appearance and token had the over 200 guards on the wall descend to hunt down the non-existent thieves. Tie Zhu and the others moved all of the county weapons out and aimed them right down at the inner side of the wall.
There was only one task left – Hold the wall!
Before long, the Martial Master general finally realized what had happened and immediately dashed towards the front wall with his army. However, they were dumbstruck when they arrived.
On the town wall, the duke's body was hung high. Bai Xiaofei was standing on the wall, looking down at them. The heavy crossbows that were normally used to defend the town were also aiming at them.
“General, the duke is dead, so for whom do you want to resist? Our army will soon arrive, and then you won't have any chance of victory. Surrender and spare your soldiers from death!” Bai Xiaofei said calmly, not to the general, but to the soldiers around him.
The probability of a general submitting was generally low, but it was very easy to scare the rank and file during a battle.
Even without Bai Xiaofei having to say much, many had already started to back down when they saw the duke’s body hung on the wall.
“What I guard is this town, not the duke!” As the general’s voice rang loudly and firmly, their originally fluctuating morale instantly stabilized.
Bai Xiaofei only sighed.
“In that case, don't blame me.” He lightly waved his arm. “Fire!”
The row of defending artillery fired upon his order, and disaster fell upon the soldiers below.
The battle had officially begun!
