Chapter 166 Accident (Continued)
The soldiers of the Anzhou army who attacked the General Administration Office broke into the gate and stayed in the front yard. The stubborn guards of the yamen were quite surprised. Although it was a sneak attack late at night, the guards responded quickly and responded properly.
When the Anzhou cavalry approached the official office along the street, they were discovered by the Ye guarding the street and beat the gong to warn. The Ye soldiers in the Ye guarding the official office quickly moved. When the Anzhou military used the sky-blasting thunder to rush in, the other party had already gathered.
Hand-to-hand combat broke out, and the Anzhou army quickly broke through the hasty guards to form a defense line, but these guards bought valuable time for their comrades. All passages were blocked by the guards, and the archers on both sides began to shoot at each other.
The General Administration Office is a key area of Xuanhu. Because the General Administration usually serves as the governor of the state, the General Administration Office is also the location of the Provincial Administration Office. As long as the General Administration Office is taken down, the General Administration Office can successfully control the center of the General Administration Office of Yuzhou.
When the Anzhou Army captured the official office, it could obtain a large number of seals. By forging a large number of official documents, it could make the territory of the Yuzhou General Administration a mess, and even mobilize the troops of various states, causing great chaos in a short period of time.
The more chaotic the situation is, the longer the Anzhou army can stay in Xuanhu, and the greater the impact it will have. Therefore, the government office must take it down. Seeing the guards resisting stubbornly, they sounded the trumpet and beat drums to summon reinforcements, the Anzhou army immediately launched a strong attack.
There is a fire twist for the sky, and it needs to be burned out before it explodes. The sky-bang thunder thrown is very likely to be picked up by the other party and thrown away. So the Anzhou army used another weapon, which is the incendiary bomb.
The incendiary bomb is smaller than that of the Thunder. Its shell is fragile and contains black and flammable liquid. After igniting the fire, it will be thrown to the other side of the wall. With a "bang", it will break and ignite a large fire.
In the first round, more than a dozen incendiary bombs were thrown over the wall, making the guards behind the wall scream heart-wrenchingly. After several rounds of throwing, there was chaos behind the wall. The Anzhou army archers took the opportunity to suppress the opponent's archers, and then used the thunder to blew up the roadblock and rushed forward with all their might.
Hand-to-hand combat broke out again, and the soldiers of Anzhou Army with strong morale defeated the guards. However, at this moment, another archer came on the other side and shot arrows directly regardless of the enemy and us.
The soldiers of the Anzhou Army who had originally planned to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill did not expect that the other party was so decisive that they were suppressed for a while and could not move forward. Then someone rushed to reinforce, not soldiers wearing armor, but slaves wearing blue clothes.
Usually, prisoners of war and convicted people will be confiscated as slaves, and those who serve the government are official slaves. Unless they encounter a general amnesty, these official slaves will be slaves for the rest of their lives. If they promise to make great contributions, they can abolish their slaves, which is usually a huge temptation for these people.
And at this moment, the other party did this.
A man in an official uniform kept shouting loudly with a sword in his hand, making a promise that as long as he tried his best to kill the enemy, everyone would be able to get rid of his slavery afterwards.
Judging from the formation, this person should be an official on duty at night in the official office. It was him who was in command that made the ignorant guards and official slaves organize to resist. As the saying goes, capturing the king first, but the archers of the Anzhou army wanted to shoot this person, but the other party was very alert and immediately hid behind the shield.
Seeing the guards resisting stubbornly and trying to delay the change, the soldiers of the Anzhou Army attacked desperately, but due to the narrow terrain in the official office, although the number of people was advantageous, they would not be able to perform for a while.
Without further ado, they sent out signals to summon reinforcements, and the reinforcements arrived soon, and the location they appeared very special: flanking.
King Yuwen of Xiyang was originally planning to come to the General Administration Office, but when he learned that the person who sent the signal to ask for help was the place where the official office was. He did not dare to delay, so he led the people over. However, he was anxious about what he was anxious about, not going to the main gate but going to the side to attack.
Yuwen Wen has been wary of being attacked by others, both in daily life and in marches and wars. He has reached a similar level of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Similarly, he has been thinking about how to attack others, so his thinking is faster than that of ordinary people.
The troops attacking the official office were frustrated, which means that the front could not be taken down, and there might be people guarding the back door, so they went around to the side of the official office and shot a few alert people on the top of the wall, and then asked the soldiers to climb over the wall.
Several more people came behind the wall with bows and arrows, but the soldiers who climbed over the wall used their snares to deceive the arrows. Those people had the courage to try to intercept the enemies who climbed over the wall and buy time for their own people to come here. As a result, they were chopped to the ground within a few rounds of the battle.
The soldiers of Anzhou soldiers who climbed over the wall soon gathered and successfully broke into the guard's flank.
Their appearance caused the guards and slaves who were already fighting spirit to beg for trouble. They quickly knelt down and begged for mercy under the attack on both sides. Only the official waved his sword and wanted to trap the beasts. After a few strokes, he was swept with a stick and knocked to the ground.
Yuwen Wen, who had climbed over the wall, glanced at the mess all over the ground, and ordered the generals to hurry up and lock up all the surrendered and captured people. As for the official...
Yuwen Wen looked at it in the fire and found that the official's skin color seemed to be darker than others, his facial contours were clear, and he was not like those of the Central Plains. He was very handsome. Because of his appearance, he could not tell his actual age, and he seemed to be in his thirties.
I don't think I'm a senior official, but being able to organize manpower to defend in an emergency is considered courage and ability.
He killed enough people today. If he didn't need to, he wouldn't want to kill people anymore. He was not interested in knowing the name of this person. He waved his hand and asked someone to take him down to detain him. The man stared at Yuwen Wen for a while, and suddenly struggled and shouted: "Xiyang... King Zhu! As the biological father of the new king, why do you persevere in rebellion!"
When Yuwen Wen heard him shouting, he was stunned at first, then he was furious and angry: Who are you calling the Pig King? Do you dare to call me the Pig King? Your whole family is the Pig King!
I thought so, but said something else: "Who are you?"
"I will not inform the thief of his name!"
Yuwen Wen was stunned again, and his ears suddenly moved. This was his involuntary movement when he was emotionally excited. Although he tried to correct it in the past few years, he would always show his congestion at critical moments.
Looking at the other party, he thought to himself: Oh, so righteous, it seems that you are the hero who is generous and I have become a villain!
The murderous intent flashed by, Yuwen Wen was too lazy to argue with this person, and the disputes were meaningless, and he didn't want to know who the other party was named. Since the other party recognized him as Xiyang...
Wait, it turns out that you call me "King of Zhu"...
Yuwen Wen's murderous intent faded and he signaled the soldiers to block his mouth and lock him up. He had no interest in knowing the other party's mental journey, nor was he interested in fighting with the other party. It was really boring to fight with such a low-level official.
He transferred to the meeting hall and wanted to discuss with the generals what to do next.
The arsenal must be controlled. The military camp garrison must be suppressed and the soldiers with their families in the city are screened, and their families are taken as hostages, so that they can close all the gates and strictly prohibit anyone from leaving the city. Of course, the city gates controlled by the Anzhou army are exceptions.
As for other officials in the city, the city gates have been closed anyway, and it is like catching a turtle in a jar. When it is dawn, people will be sent along the street to call them to the office of the General Administration Office. If they don’t come, then bring the heads!
Several bloody heads were placed on the table. Yu Wen Wen was about to use these heads to shock the officials in Yuzhou. He wanted to stay in Xuanhu for as long as possible, forcing the imperial army besieging Fangcheng to return.
Before he could say a few words to the generals, someone came to report that the official seal was not in the warehouse and that they were all temporarily hidden.
"Who hid it?" Yuwen Wen was a little curious. When the incident happened suddenly, there were officials who were not escaping their lives but hiding their official seals, which was very responsible.
"The king is the one who has just commanded his men to resist. According to others, this person is the chief officer of the General Administration and will be on the night tonight."
"Hmm?" Yu Wen Wen felt a little surprised, and then he looked like he suddenly realized. The officer of the General Administration was an assistant official, not too big or small, but the stubborn donkey did not escape but organized people to resist. He even thought of hiding the official seal, "Don't he tell me where the official seal is hidden?"
"When he answered, he kept silent and didn't say a word."
"Don't say it?" Yuwen Wen smiled. This kind of trick-calling stick... the stubborn donkey who is asking for torture, he likes to argue the most!
