If they killed the speaker and a bunch of representatives Trump would declare martial law and lock down congress. In that event no handover of power to Biden ever took place and it is very unclear what would happen next.
The electoral count act is now out the window entirely and Trump has a bunch of the GOP claiming the election is fraudulent based on no evidence but that doesn't matter. Eventually after Trump has it all set up the house reconvenes and picks Trump as president because GOP has the most delegations and the vote was "fraudulent".
You see, all that really needed to happen is for them to create enough disruption for Trump and his allies to find a way to set aside the vote and let the house pick based on number of delegations.
The brooks brothers riot basically did something similar. Created enough disruption to stop a recount.
