Chapter 245 God Shot Xue Lan kills Zhang Bao
As soon as Zhang Liang died, Li Jinsi immediately ordered someone to report the task to the joint command center. He slowly returned to the back with a somewhat heavy crossbow. (eng.com)
In the joint command center, everyone who had been waiting for news about Li Jinsi was a little nervous. Only Zhao Xing dared to appoint Li Jinsi, a sixteen-year-old doll, to carry out this important task of sniping Zhang Liang, to perform, but everyone didn't have much objection. After all, no one has any experience in the tactics of long-range sniping.
"Report to Commander Guan, Plan No. 1 was successfully implemented!" Shadow team members walked into the joint command center and reported to Guan Yu, who was acting as the commander of Zhao Xing.
"Okay, start the No. 2 plan immediately!" Guan Yu, who was a little anxious, immediately ordered.
With the help of the Shadow Team members, Xue Lan drilled into the dark lattice of the iron armored vehicle and locked the entrance and exit from it. If there is no need to burn it, Xue Lan could hold on inside for more than seven days. The dark lattice was stored with clean water, jerky and dirty bags, leaving air inlets and outlets in some hidden gaps, and was specially covered with activated charcoal, which could not only filter harmful gases invade from the outside, but also make people and even dogs outside unable to smell the smell. Naturally, Xue Lan was indispensable for the exquisite longbow carefully created by the craftsmen under Zhao Xing and dozens of carefully selected carved feather arrows. Only one person could be hidden in an iron armored vehicle. In order to assist Xue Lan in carrying out the beheading mission, Zhao Xing also equipped three more iron armored vehicles modified inside, with three experienced and good at disguising spying.
In order to increase the feasibility of the success of the plan, Zhao Xing, who has always insisted on doing a full set of shows, also tied up some fireworks and firecrackers outside the armored car. At that time, Zhang Bao, who was ignorant of the life and death of the armored car, led him into the city. These small disguises can better cover the team members in the dark space to survive.
The soldiers of Bingzhou pushed the armored cart slowly towards the suspension bridge, and the news came to Zhang Bao in a short while. Hearing that the Bingzhou army finally used the armored cart that killed his elder brother Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao quickly ordered the defenders in the city to keep a close eye on the armored cart. Once they found that the Bingzhou soldiers were trying to build a floating bridge on the moat and let the armored cart pass, they concentrated all the bows and arrows, and rolled stones to greet the armored cart, and they must stop the armored cart from approaching the city gate.
The Bingzhou soldiers who were pushing the armored car slowly approached the city. Facing the wide moat, there was no way. Several people had just tried to move out the wood to build a bridge on the river, and immediately attracted fierce attacks from the city. The soldiers of Bingzhou who had been tossing for a long time, somehow actually ignited the gunpowder on the armored car. Seeing that the armored car had ignited the blue smoke, the Bingzhou soldiers ran to their camp with a shield on their heads, and even wanted the armored car.
Then, the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall watched the fireworks performance that cost no money for a while, and then it started to rain in the sky. Then the rain became heavier and heavier, and directly poured the smoke-filled iron-armored vehicles everywhere without any movement.
Zhang Bao, who had been paying attention to the movement outside the city, heard his hands report that the armored car could not pass the moat, and it started to burn itself. Later, it was extinguished by the rain. Zhang Bao laughed out loud and said happily: "It is really the blessing of the true god of Taiyi, which makes the Bingzhou army helpless!"
The next day, in front of the soldiers on the city, the Bingzhou army set off the camp and evacuated, passed around the city, and marched to the east. Judging from the momentum, it is very likely that it would go to Nanpi to attack Zhang Liang. The small leader in the city quickly reported this situation to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao thought for a moment, worried that this was a suspicious plan made by the Bingzhou Army on purpose, and the purpose was to lure his side out of the city, so he ignored it. Zhang Bao also thought very clearly that if Zhang Liang received a secret letter to come to help, he would meet the main force of the Bingzhou Army halfway. When the two sides fought, it would not be too late to send troops again. Now he may have been defeated by the Bingzhou side.
At night, the Bingzhou army did not retaliate, but continued to drive eastward, and really wanted to attack Zhang Liang. Seeing that there was no Bingzhou army outside the city, Zhang Bao ordered people to bring the abandoned iron armored chariots of the Bingzhou army into the city, summoned his subordinates to a group of Que and the leader to think about it for a long time, but he couldn't see the mechanism of this thing, so he had to give up. Zhang Bao ordered people to push a few bad iron lumps to a corner of the military camp in the city, preparing them as spoils, and used them to show off to his soldiers in the future.
Now that the army of Bingzhou is approaching, there is no one to guard the school ground in Lecheng City at all. The Yellow Turban Army is busy changing shifts to guard the city. After watching the four somewhat huge iron guys, everyone lost interest and no one pays attention to them again.
The armored car stayed on the school ground for a whole three days, and no one cared about it. At that time, the armored car suddenly moved and found four people from it. It was Xue Lan and three Shadow Team members. After taking out the weapons, several people restored the armored car to its original state and quietly disappeared in the night.
Xue Lan and the other two were wearing clothes dressed like the Yellow Turbans in the city. Their hometowns were also in Jizhou. They spoke with authentic Jizhou accents. They didn't take long to find a courtyard close to Zhang Bao's mansion and sneaked into the backyard of the family.
The mansion occupied by Zhang Bao was originally the mansion of King Hejian. The surrounding area was full of wealthy families. Without waiting for the Yellow Turban Army to attack, these wealthy families and the unlucky King He fled to Luoyang with Jia Xiaohe's gold, silver and jewelry. After Zhang Bao came, he chose the most luxurious Hejian Palace and lived in it without saying a word. The surrounding courtyards were naturally distributed to leaders of all sizes.
The courtyard where Xue Lan and the others sneaked into was the residence of a yellow turban leader. The courtyard was quite large and several times in front of the front and back. The most important thing was that there was a rockery and many trees behind the courtyard. There were few people usually coming, which was very conducive to concealment. Zhang Bao himself did not dare to go to the city, for fear of being sent to heaven to see Zhang Jiao by the sky thunder, but his commanders and leaders of all sizes were not so lucky and had to take shifts to guard the city every day. For example, the Yellow turban leader who lived in this courtyard was on duty from midnight to Mao hour, and there were only a few personal soldiers and family members left in the courtyard.
The three Shadow Team members were dressed as minions. When they were out of the backyard to explore, they spoke in Jizhou dialect and often made some cuts and secret codes from the Yellow Turban Army. They mingled with tens of thousands of Yellow Turban rioters, and naturally they would not attract too much attention from others.
Several people conducted on-site inspections of the mansion where Zhang Bao lived, and went to the restaurants, gambling halls and other places where the Yellow Turban soldiers gathered to spy on Zhang Bao's personal preferences and behavioral patterns. In the early morning, they touched back to the rockery where Xue Lan was hiding, and summarized and analyzed various information.
The shadow team member told Xue Lan: Zhang Bao would go out of the mansion every few days and go to a fragrant altar in the city to worship the true god of Huang Taiyi. He would pass by several places to ambush on the road, but Zhang Bao is now very cautious and never shows up on the street. He hides in the car, making people unable to see the real situation.
After thinking for a moment, Xue Lan decided to snipe Zhang Bao near Xiangtan. After field investigation, Xue Lan caught a restaurant more than 100 steps away from the main entrance of Xiangtan. She touched the ridge of the restaurant while the night was dark, uncovered the green tiles from the roof, and hid her body on the beam. When she needed to attack, she crawled out of the cave. Usually she hid inside the room, and when someone came, she hid on the beam and was a "gentleman".
Where can I do any business in the restaurant in the city where the Yellow Turban Army is located? Even the owner of the restaurant was "cracked" with a knife, and all the wine in the restaurant was moved back to the barracks by the Yellow Turban Army. Now that the people here are empty, even the sparrows with a little promising interest are not willing to leave, which provides excellent cover for Xue Lan's actions.
Zhang Bao, who had not received any news for several days, was a little anxious. He decided to go to Zhonghuang Taiyi to pray well that morning, hoping that his cousin Zhang Liang and Nanpi were well and that the success he occupied would not be captured by the Bingzhou army. Because he had something to do in his mind, and Zhang Bao had never been assassinated since the uprising, so he still as usual before coming to the incense altar, and after he had finished guarding the surroundings, he got out of the carriage to go to the altar to worship.
Zhang Bao, who was kneeling in front of the statue of Taiyi of Zhonghuang, recited a passage of words in his mouth, leaned over and kowtowed to the statue. Zhang Bao kowtowed the first time. When he was about to get up, he felt a heart-wrenching pain all over his body. When he looked down, he saw a sharp arrow piercing his heart, and the sharp cluster of arrows had already exposed his chest. "Yes - there are thorns..." Zhang Bao made a faint alarm sound, and before he finished speaking, his head drooped and his breath was gone.
The personal soldiers not far from Zhang Bao were vigilantly paying attention to the situation near the incense hall, but did not pay much attention to the arrows flying from a high place. Because Zhang Bao was the "General of the Earth God", when communicating with the True God, everyone around him had to stay away from the ground to prevent the secret of heaven from being leaked, so Zhang Bao had already died, and the personal soldiers still did not notice it. Until everyone found that General of the Earth God was hanging his head and did not move for a long time, and more and more blood was leaching under the cushion, everyone woke up and hurriedly caught the assassin. With such a long time, Xue Lan, who had succeeded with one arrow, had hid in some corner...
