Words:890Update:23/02/02 23:13:19
Taiyuan was a large city in the north, so the Taiyuan Posthouse wasn't small at all. There were a total of twenty-eight individual buildings in the posthouse, and each building had a few to over twenty guest rooms.
In the dark night, eight Imperial Army soldiers stood on the roofs of the buildings in the east, west, south, north, southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest of the courier station. Using the weak light from the stone lanterns in the courtyards of the courier station, the eight Imperial Army soldiers stood on high points and meticulously scanned the entire courier station.
Below them, there would be a group of soldiers patrolling with torches every once in a while. Although Dugu Xin didn't expect Zhao Deyan to send people to attack the posthouse tonight, the defense of the posthouse didn't relax because of this. There were both open and hidden sentries. If an unknown person broke into the posthouse, these Imperial Army soldiers on night duty would be able to immediately discover it and issue a warning.
This was the Imperial Army. No matter when or where, they wouldn't abandon their superb military discipline!
Whoosh ~!
In the night, a thin needle with a cold glow flew straight toward the Imperial Army soldier on the east side of the building. It wasn't daytime, and there was no moon tonight. The Imperial Army soldier on the roof naturally couldn't see this thin needle. However, when the thin needle was about to reach him, he could still feel the turbulence in the air. But at this time, it was already too late for him to dodge!
The thin needle silently pierced through the Imperial Army soldier's throat without any reservation. He didn't even have time to make a sound before he clutched his throat and fell straight to the ground!
Based on the way he fell, when he hit the ground, he would definitely make a sound and attract the attention of the other troops!
But at this moment, a black shadow flew over. Before the Imperial Army soldier fell, he caught the latter's body and gently placed him on the roof.
As there was only a faint light in the courtyard and no light on the roof, the fall of this Imperial Army soldier didn't attract the attention of the hidden sentries at the southeast and northeast corners that were closest to him.
After putting down the Imperial Army soldier's body, the black shadow didn't stop and headed straight for the hidden sentries at the southeast corner.
Whoosh! Whoosh! "
Using the same method, the black shadow quietly eliminated the three hidden sentries that the Imperial Army had placed in the southeast, east, and southwest of the posthouse in less than fifteen minutes. At this point, all the hidden sentries in the east of the posthouse had been eliminated by the black shadow!
It had to be said that this shadow's strength was indeed formidable!
The black shadow flew to the east wall of the posthouse. Below the wall, there were actually more than a hundred people hiding. The black shadow said to the people below in a low voice, "The hidden sentries on the east side of the posthouse have been eliminated. Follow the plan!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in a low voice.
Then, a dozen or so black shadows rushed to the front and back doors of the post house, while the other ninety or so black shadows leaped over the wall and entered the post house.
