Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 134: How can guerrillas defeat the regular army?
Clang!
The weapons came into close contact, making a sharp collision sound.

The gate of the manor had become a battlefield, with figures intertwined and the only sound that could be heard was the dull sound of knives piercing into bodies. The sounds of killing made people's hair stand on end.

"Dang Dang Dang~~~~"

Above the wall and inside the watchtower, the sound of bells and drums could be heard from time to time.

Above the watchtower, someone was shouting "Enemy attack" at the top of his lungs, and from time to time there were panicked calls of "Lower the gate" and "Close the city gate quickly."

But at this moment, they were horrified to find that a warrior was climbing on the wall like a gecko, with the blade of a knife bitten in his mouth, and climbed up the city wall.

"What……"

Zhao Guanxiang jumped up and slashed at the sentry who was beating the drum.

The movement was quick and swift, and the knife fell with a single motion.

The headless corpse fell to the ground. He swung his sword and the blood on the blade splashed like ink onto the bricks and stones of the city wall.

He was covered in blood and looked like a killer. He looked at the shivering sentinels and grinned.

"kill!"

At a command, several elite guards behind him rushed up the city wall and charged towards the sentries.

One of the sentries reacted very quickly and turned around and rushed towards the hook rope of the city gate.

The Yifeng Royal Manor was built like a fortress, and the main gate was a pull-type gate. Once the hook rope was cut off, the stone door made of huge stones weighing thousands of pounds would fall down, and it would be extremely difficult to get in again.

Unfortunately, just as the man made a move, a white light suddenly flashed, and a piece of scarlet blade pierced through his chest.

Zhao Guanxiang kicked the corpse away, then ordered people to lift the city gate with a hook rope. He walked to the city wall, took out a whistle from his arms and put it in his mouth.

“Beep!!!!!!!!~”

The sharp and clear whistle sounded like a bird's song, with great penetrating power, and could be heard clearly within a radius of dozens of miles.

Not long after the whistle sounded, a team of elite soldiers in black appeared outside the manor. There were more than a thousand of them. Each of them was wearing armor and holding a sword. They were well-equipped and rushed towards the entrance like a tide of ants.

……

"Are you tired of living? How dare you come to the Gao family's territory and act wildly!"

When the drums representing an enemy attack were struck, the warriors that the Gao family had kept in the Yifeng Imperial Farm immediately rushed out.

They originally thought that they were ignorant bandits or people sent by some hostile force.

They thought that their power was so great that even if enemies came to them, it would become their "merit" for rewarding them.

But when a group of people rushed out excitedly, and saw the pitch-black black gold shield towers arranged in an orderly array, and saw the crossbows sticking out from the gaps in the black gold shield wall, and the coldly shining fine steel arrows on the crossbows...

The warriors of the Gao family were all silent.

"put!"

A command came from somewhere.

After the black gold shields were formed into two rows of shield walls, fine steel arrows were shot out like raindrops.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The powerful crossbow shot out arrows, which pierced into the flesh and bones, causing blood to bloom.

……

The Gao family keeps nearly three hundred warriors in the Yifeng Imperial Farm, and each of them is a warrior of a certain rank.

Even the lowest-level ninth-grade warrior can be considered an outstanding fighter in the martial arts world.

However, when faced with enemies with similar martial arts skills as them, this group of people were beaten so badly that they didn't even have the chance to fight back. Like lambs, they could only flee in panic.

This is the difference between guerrillas and the army.

These warriors of the Gao family were all recruited wanderers from the martial arts world. No matter how strong they were, they always had a resounding reputation outside. Their strength might not be bad in a real fight. If they fought one-on-one, they might not lose much to warriors of the same level.

But when they face a well-trained, organized army, fighting alone is undoubtedly a death sentence. Facing powerful bows and crossbows, they will be shot into a hornet's nest before they can get close. Without being a god, personal strength cannot play a big role in front of a strong army.

Even if one can cut arrows with a sword and break shields with a knife, one is not a god. A warrior's energy will eventually be exhausted.

Once your strength is exhausted and you fall into the army, you will be dead.

But it was impossible to ask these wanderers recruited by the Gao family to join forces and charge into the army.

Without special training and no tacit understanding, joining forces would be nothing but a joke.

What's more, how can these wanderers trust their backs to others?
Everyone wants others to take more risks and they should put in less effort... Everyone thinks this way, and in the end, they become suspicious of each other and no one wants to be the one to stand out.

Scattered soldiers are destined to be unable to compete with an organized army.

This is an iron rule that has been verified through countless bloody lessons.

……

Zhao Guanxiang thought that tonight would be a tough battle, and was even mentally prepared for some casualties among the Xiaowei.

But once they started fighting, he was shocked to find that these seemingly elite guards of the Gao family were so vulnerable.

They started fleeing after just one salvo?

Why don't you at least stand up and resist? !
This was a one-sided massacre. The Owl Guards advanced forward slowly and methodically, forcing the enemy back.

Whenever they arrived at a building, a small team would spread out and enter the house with daggers to search. If there were enemies hiding, they would slit their throats and kill them cleanly and efficiently, and then leave without any hesitation and rejoin the team.

The interior of the manor had completely turned into a bloody hell, with screams and pleas for mercy...

Reddish-brown blood flowed freely on the ground, and the air was filled with a sweet and fishy smell like copper.

Corpses fell to the ground and were dragged to the side of the road like rag bags, with no one paying attention or caring.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud explosion.

A building nearby was on fire. No one knew who set the fire. By the time they discovered it, the wooden house had already started burning and was spreading to the surrounding buildings.

The team was in chaos for a while, and Zhao Guanxiang's expression changed.

This fire was obviously not set by Xiao Wei, so it could only have been set by the Gao family themselves.

But the entrance and exit of the imperial manor are in the same place and are firmly controlled by the Xiaowei. The Gao family set fire to it, so how can I escape?
The only explanation Zhao Guanxiang could think of was that there must be a secret passage inside the imperial manor that could be used to escape!

"Observe the phenomena."

Zhao Nishang found Zhao Guanxiang and said to him, "We found the fire too late, and it can't be stopped. There is no water source nearby, and it's too late to put out the fire. The Xiaowei are all wearing armor, and we can't stay here. We have to retreat!"

Zhao Guanxiang's forehead was covered with sweat, and he said anxiously: "The person has not been found yet."

"We have to retreat!" Zhao Nishang did not allow any arguments this time, her face became cold, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, if we stay any longer, and are trapped by the fire, the Xiaowei will surely be killed or injured. You want to save a life, but these Xiaowei who risked their lives for you are also human lives. In my eyes, the Xiaowei are more important!"

Zhao Guanxiang knew this truth, but if he let Jiang Liuer die in the sea of ​​fire, how would he explain to Zhang Juzheng?

If Di Wen Gong Feng was here, finding Jiang Liu'er's whereabouts would be a piece of cake.

However, Di Wen Gongsheng had no martial arts skills and would not put himself in danger, so he did not follow the team in at all.

Now it's too late to look for him again.

Just when Zhao Guanxiang was in a dilemma, he heard a few women's panicked cries for help not far away.

"Help, help..."

Zhao Guanxiang immediately stopped hesitating and said to Zhao Nishang, "Sister, take your people back first."

"Wait, where are you going?!"

"I'm going to save people!"
