Chapter 107 Is Heaven doomed to destroy the Bai family?

The cunning old fox, Magistrate Zhao, diverted everyone's attention with a loud shout, and then the Bai family's grandson revealed his weakness.

Behind him, three arrows shot out in quick succession, almost simultaneously with the order from Zhao Zhouling.

When the head of the Bai family heard the sound of an arrow piercing the air from the other side, he immediately sensed something was wrong. However, the arrow was too fast. Just as Bai Linghe heard the sound of the arrow piercing the air, someone fell to the ground.

Then a wail turned into a scream. When the Bai family head realized something was wrong, he turned around and saw his grandson lying in a pool of blood, with a lot of blood gushing from his mouth.

The archer under the command of the magistrate of Zhaozhou hit all three arrows. One arrow pierced deeply into the left rib of the Bai family's grandson, another arrow entered his lung, and the third arrow was only a hair's breadth away from the heart of the Bai family's grandson. If it weren't for the dozen or so guards protecting his companion's vital areas, he would have already been shot through the heart by now, and the Bai family's grandson would most likely have died before he even had time to scream.

"Yingzhou, Yingzhou, my grandson!"

"Quickly, quickly heal my grandson! Go and call for help!"

The head of the Bai family is acting like a madman right now!

He has several sons and daughters, and dozens of grandchildren, but he always keeps Bai Yingzhou by his side, which clearly shows that he is a child he likes very much.

After all, there are dozens of grandchildren, and not everyone has the opportunity to stay by the old ancestor's side to learn. This person will most likely be the future heir of the Bai family. After all, Bai Linghe just sent another grandson out of the city through a secret passage to mobilize troops. Bai Linghe did not call Bai Yingzhou to do such a dangerous thing, which shows that he loves this grandson more than any other one.

But now, Bai Yingzhou trembled and struggled a few times, but ultimately succumbed to his injuries.

Even as he was dying, a mouthful of blood that had been accumulating deep in his chest splattered onto the face of the Bai family head, turning Bai Linghe's white hair blood red.

Watching helplessly as his beloved grandson died in his arms, a white-haired man burying his black-haired son, Bai Linghe clenched his bulging veins in his hands, his whole body trembling:

"You surnamed Zhao, you're asking for death!"

But upon hearing the White Clan Head's words from outside the wall, the Zhao Prefecture Magistrate's face was filled with resentment:

"You old dog from the Bai family, you've gone too far!"

"I originally intended to shoot you dead, but you old fox didn't reveal any flaws yourself. You old dog didn't die, but you actually shot a little dog instead."

"Damn it, what a fucking bad luck!"

Zhao Zhouling's words completely drove Bai Linghe to lose his temper.

If just now he had wanted to stall for time, or even try to explain and negotiate with the magistrate of Zhao Prefecture to see if they could turn hostility into friendship...

Now.

With his most beloved grandson dying in his arms and his enemy right in front of him, their eyes blazing with hatred upon meeting, what else is there to say?

"Men, fire arrows over the wall! Fire a barrage of arrows at me!"

At a moment's notice, Beringhe gave the order, and arrows rained down, heading straight for the numerous soldiers.

"Quick, get out of the way!"

No one expected that at this moment, Beringhe's fifth son, who had served as a lieutenant general in the army, would lead more than three hundred elite soldiers to charge out of the mansion.

Just now, the soldiers were dodging the rain of arrows, and the scene was chaotic, with them scattered in various places.

Three hundred elite soldiers charged out and slicing through the garrison troops like vegetables. Their numerical superiority terrified the magistrate's men.

Although the magistrate of Zhao Prefecture had three thousand soldiers, the vast majority of them were besieging the Bai residence.

The remaining people were scattered while dodging the rain of arrows. At this point, the 340 were like 300 chopsticks tied together. With your five hands already scattered, how could you work together to twist and break these 300 chopsticks?

Seeing that Zhao Zhouling's men were being killed one after another, Zhao Zhouling also fled in panic. He transferred some of the soldiers who were besieging Bai Mansion to form an arrow formation at a distance and used arrows to kill the suicide soldiers who rushed out.

These warriors were fearless in the face of death. They were originally lonely and rootless people with no attachments in this world. They relied entirely on the Bai family to help them fulfill their wishes and to buy their hearts at a great cost. Such people are the most loyal and fearless in the face of death.

Once they are fearless and undaunted, even the regular army of the imperial court would be terrified, let alone these soldiers who have never actually been on the battlefield.

Finally, after Zhao Zhouling paid the price of more than 500 soldiers dead or wounded, he managed to kill most of the suicide soldiers who had rushed out, and the rest retreated back to Bai Mansion.

"Light this fire for me!"

"Light the fire! Don't let them rush out again!"

The magistrate of Zhao Prefecture was now truly terrified.

Those suicide squad members were completely fearless in the face of death. When they charged forward, they were ready to die together with their enemies. If you slashed at them, a normal person would simply dodge.

But these assassins don't flinch at all; they'll slash at you with their own swords just as you slash at them.

At this point, it becomes a psychological battle. When two people meet on a narrow path, the brave will win. If both are willing to die, they will perish together. If one of them is afraid of death and eventually puts away his knife to avoid it, his fate is predictable. While he is dodging, these well-trained assassins will immediately strike a second time. Even if they cannot kill the soldier on the spot, they will severely injure him.

Having thoroughly experienced the power of the assassins, the magistrate of Zhao Prefecture ordered that all the woodpiles surrounding the Bai family be set ablaze.

Instantly, the fire shot up ten or twenty meters high, billowing thick smoke that choked people, causing tears and snot to stream down their faces.

"Quickly, get a fan and fan all this thick smoke into the Bai mansion, so that all the old dogs inside will turn into stinking salted fish!"

"Don't stand idly by, keep the fire going! Help me carry more firewood in. This fire must burn until dawn. I will make sure the Bai family is completely wiped out!"

…………

The governor ordered the fire to be set.

The Bai family head desperately sent people to draw water from the well to put out the fire.

However, the fire was set off quickly with water, and instead of going out, it burned even more fiercely in a short time.

"What's going on? Why haven't the reinforcements I deployed outside the city arrived yet?"

The head of the Bai family was very puzzled. At this moment, the guards kept fanning the thick smoke into the Bai mansion with large palm-leaf fans. The entire Bai mansion was filled with thick smoke, and many people had already collapsed and were unconscious. Some of the evil servants and servants had even been choked to death by the thick smoke.

"Master, let's quickly hide in the secret room."

The Bai family head was finally pulled into the secret passage, but all the Bai family members who had come to take refuge, including the family head Bai Linghe, were all taken aback.

Because all the dozens of escape routes and secret rooms in the Bai mansion, which were meant for saving lives, were now locked.

What's going on?

At this moment, Bering let out a long sigh:

"Alas, is it that Heaven has forsaken the Bai family?"
