[Chapter 870 Assassination Plan]

Songyang Pass.

The shelling here has been continuing, and the trench in front of the pass has become like a beehive under the intensive bombardment of shells.

On the outer wall of Songyang Pass, large pieces of blue bricks peeled off, exposing the yellow mud inside.

All the wall stacks were blown to pieces, and there were slight collapses in many places.

At this moment, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei were playing chess amidst the explosion, their expressions focused.

Even if the number of soldiers and horses at Songyang Pass is more than six times that of theirs.

However, with the advantage of the range of the howitzers and rifled guns of the Wangfu’s pro-army, the Nanliang and Beidi troops at Songyang Pass only had to be beaten.

Therefore, during this period, except for the artillerymen who worked harder, the other soldiers were very leisurely.

“Your Highness, a battle report from General Ma.” A cavalryman stopped in front of the camp and came to the two of them.

Zhao Xu nodded and took the battle report.

After browsing through it roughly, he said to Chang Wei: “The progress of the Qin army is very smooth. Not only has it captured Yiyang, it is now advancing towards Yunzhou and Bazhou

. , and the former Songyang Pass, the domestic war is over.” Chang Wei let out a long breath.

Da Song was in a daze for three years.

In the past three years, gunpowder has been everywhere, and it is difficult to count the people who died directly or indirectly from the war.

Jiangnan, a rich place, was also devastated and suffered great losses.

If they hadn’t installed Qin-style rifles, King Yan would have marched south in person.

It is not yet known how long this civil unrest will last.

And now, victory is finally at hand.

However, although the victory was a happy event, the anger in his heart did not diminish slightly.

Originally, they could easily clean up the powerful people.

However, due to the successive intervention of Dongying, Beidi, and Xitu people, the war became complicated.

It also caused more suffering to the people of Dasong.

Only by making these instigators pay the due price can he appease his anger and give an explanation to the Dasong people who died in the war.

There is an explanation to the soldiers who fought bloody battles.

“Indeed, but we want to bring this battle to a perfect conclusion.” A cold light flashed in Zhao Xu’s eyes.

These days, he continued to bombard Songyang Pass, but prevented the infantry from launching a general attack.

Inside, there is another reason.

This is what awaits the arrival of the Balloon Soldiers.

Yiyang fell, and most of the cities of Yizhou fell into his hands.

The general situation is over, and the Liang family, Dou family, Fan family and others will not fail to see it.

In such a situation where it is impossible to win, they are likely to choose to flee with a large amount of wealth like a certain Jiang bald head.

When the Liang family and the Xiao family went to Songyang Pass, they took away a large amount of money from the treasury. This is a sign.

He believed that the Liang family and the Fan family would be no exception.

Although, these wealth cannot be recovered within a period of time.

However, he will never let the powerful family leave with a large amount of wealth so easily, and hang out with Beidi and Xitu people, relying on the stolen wealth to eat and drink hot food.

Or continue to rely on these wealth to recruit troops to deal with him.

Therefore, he gave Tsui Hark an order to carry out the assassination plan against the powerful clan.

This plan will be carried out by the Anbu of the Fourth Academy.

The function of any intelligence agency is naturally not only to collect intelligence, but also to assassinate important figures of the enemy.

Because of this, there are also specially trained Anbu members in the Fourth Academy.

In contemporary terms, these people are equivalent to secret agents.

The Anbu members of the Fourth Academy also mastered many skills.

He can ride a horse, use a Qin-style rifle, manipulate a hot air balloon, and lay mines.

Every time the firearms are updated, they will also change their weapons accordingly.

At present, Liang Kai and others in Bazhou are already under the surveillance of the Anbu.

He arranged this matter during the Battle of Changcheng.

As for the Dou family and the Xiao family, they are somewhat special because of the battle at Songyang Pass.

They are outside the pass, and Anbu needs to pass through the Songyang Pass and arrange an assassination point on the opposite side.

In this case, you need to use a hot air balloon.

He reckoned that in another five or six days, the hot air balloon soldiers would arrive.

That’s the time to launch an attack, so as not to startle the snake and let Dou Wei and the others run away.

Thinking of this, he revealed his plan to Chang Wei.

“Your Highness has a well-planned plan, how can you let them run away so easily.” Chang Wei laughed, “It’s best to kill Ashur and those Western natives together.”

Zhao Xu nodded lightly, “Of course not. Let them go.”

Six days later.

A group of people arrived at Songyang Pass, and they were people from the Anbu of the Fourth Academy.

Tsui Hark also came at the same time, and he will personally participate in this matter.

“Once Yizhou falls completely, the Liang family and other powerful families in Bazhou are likely to flee. Now you have made the Anbu members in Bazhou be more vigilant, and must seize the opportunity to eliminate the most people.” Zhao Xu said.

Assassination needs to be done with caution.

Once an assassination action is taken, it will inevitably be exposed, and the enemy will be vigilant after that.

Because of this, the Anbu of Bazhou has been dormant, and did not act rashly until the right time was found.

Otherwise, Liang Kai and others would have died when he went south.

But it’s different now. They will be exposed to the wild when they evacuate from Bazhou. This is the best chance for assassination.

“Before I arrived, I sent someone to go to Bazhou. Please rest assured, Your Highness,” Xu Ke said.

Zhao Xu nodded, “As for this, I will give you three days to arrange. Three days later, I will launch an attack on Songyang Pass.”

Ashur and others still stayed in Songyang Pass to resist, just because Songyang Pass The location of Yangguan is very important.

At this time, it is an important pass from Tubo to Yizhou.

If they hold this place, they will be able to station troops here and threaten Yizhou.

Let Dasong Southwest always be in turmoil.

Lost here, Songyangguan is the outpost of Yizhou Dasong’s attack on Tubo.

The territory he laid down by Ashur will no longer be stable.

And once they lose Tubo, Beidi will completely lose contact with Britain.

This is tantamount to cutting off the Western Earth forces from the middle and dividing them into two.

It will become difficult for Beidi, the country of Ross to communicate with other Western countries, and they can only fight alone.

“Three days is enough.” Tsui Hark said.

When he came, he analyzed the terrain near Songyang Pass.

He knows exactly where the assassination is most suitable.

Right now, they only need to use hot air balloons to send people behind Songyang Pass without anyone noticing.

It was agreed upon.

That night, Tsui Hark and the Anbu team crossed Songyang Pass in six hot air balloons.

In order to avoid the flames of the hot air balloon being discovered.

They walked for more than 30 miles along the mountain range of Songyangguan, and let the hot air balloon fly high.

In addition to carrying people, these hot air balloons are also equipped with mines and Qin-style rifles.

Unlike landmines that pop and explode, these mines are cable mines.

This kind of mine is more suitable for assassination.

Three days later, they arranged the key road behind Songyang Pass.

At this time, King Yan really launched an attack on Songyang Pass.
