Chapter Ninety-Three: Zhu Gu Liman
Xia Xianlong heard the conversation between Hua Ziyu and Wang Xiaotian, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.
His purpose was actually to occupy Dushant for a long time and expand the power of the Eastern Chu State beyond the borders.
And Wang Xiaotian and Hua Ziyu's idea was just to buy time and rescue them from Durban. As for who Dushant fell into after that, they didn't care. In their opinion, this bird does not in the place, give it to them, they are too lazy to ask.
Xia Xianlong wanted to tell Wang Xiaotian and Hua Ziyu that he couldn't make such a plan.
In fact, due to the barrier of the desert and the Great Wilderness, the control of the Eastern Chu State could only be east of Kashgar, and it was very difficult to station troops further west. Even Kashgar sent a small number of troops to declare sovereignty only symbolically. The real control area of the Eastern Chu State is on the first line of Jinou City.
If the city lord of Dushant is his own people, it is equivalent to the Eastern Chu State having an enclave in the far western regions. The degree of control over the Western Regions is naturally not the same.
However, after thinking about it, he decided not to talk about it for the time being. For now, we should take the first step out and talk about it later. As long as Wang Xiaotian became the city lord, he didn't believe that Wang Xiaotian would be willing to leave that throne.
The three of them confirmed the matter, and then briefly discussed the plan of action.
Next, Wang Xiaotian drove the defenders and took Hua Ziyu and Xia Xianlong to Dushant. Since the movement of the defenders was too great, he could only send two people to the vicinity. Then, the two took advantage of the night to touch Dushant.
At this time, Gulman had not yet returned to Dushant with the remnants of the royal guard. The two first lay in ambush near the ruined city gates. When Gu Liman brought people back, and the remnants of the defeated generals rushed into the city, the two of them took the opportunity to sneak in.
The plan went very well. When Gulman came to the city gate, his men stepped forward and called for the door, telling the soldiers inside to quickly remove the fence blocking the hole in the city gate. The two also quietly approached the city gate cave from their hiding place.
Most of the soldiers guarding the gate were already wounded and had difficulty moving, and the chaos in the city made them even more worried about the safety of their families and were not at all distracted. I heard the people outside shouting several times before I got up and slowly moved the fence.
The reaction of the soldiers defending the city angered Gu Liman, who had already been on fire for a long time. He suddenly pounced on his horse, grabbed the chest of a soldier defending the city, and shouted with a hideous face: "You dogs! When you see General Ben coming back, don't you hurry to open the gate to greet you, one by one, you are tired of living? Do you want to die,.? General Ben will fulfill you!"
As he spoke, he directly threw the soldier he was holding in his hand with his backhand, and then his figure flashed, and he shot a knife in the air, cutting the soldier directly into eight sections!
Pieces of corpses fell to the ground, thick with blood and a foul stench that filled everyone's nostrils.
The soldiers were stunned.
Gu Liman fell to the ground, stepping on the blood stains all over the ground, his eyes were red, like a demon that had just crawled out of hell, glaring fiercely, and the soldiers with dull expressions shouted: "TMD! What are you doing standing stupidly, hurry up and move this away for Lao Tzu! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will chop you all into meat sauce!"
The soldiers reacted and immediately moved at maximum speed.
Gu Liman vented, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and the whole person's spirit was relaxed.
He walked towards the city gate, and at this moment a strange change protruded!
Two figures suddenly appeared from the darkness, and two swords, one up and one on the left, one on the right, slashed in front of him.
He was immediately startled, and immediately turned around and greeted the two war swords with the shield behind his back. The two swords slashed at the shield, making a piercing sound, and the huge impact made Gu Liman stagger forward two steps.
Before he could stand firm, two swords slashed at his legs. Gu Liman rushed forward more than ten steps in a row, and the two war knives were still chasing his two legs.
He immediately jumped forward with all his might, and at the same time removed the shield from behind him, turned around in the air and poked the shield to the ground with force, and his body floated up with force. Two swords slashed at the shield again.
Gu Liman skillfully defused the attack of the two knives and was secretly proud. Suddenly, I saw two legs stretched out, hooked the lower end of the shield from both sides, and pulled it hard, directly pulling the shield up from the ground.
Gulman hurriedly grabbed the shield with both hands. At this time, the shield completely left the ground, and his whole body was still in mid-air, without any place to borrow strength, and his body quickly climbed down to the ground.
Before he could hit the ground, two swords slashed at both of his arms. Gu Liman screamed, quickly threw away the shield, put his feet on the ground, stabilized his body, and grabbed the scimitar at the same time, and quickly slashed out two knives.
He tried to split the two knives, and he reached out and grabbed the shield. As long as the shield is in hand, he is not afraid of the two of them.
But he didn't expect that although he split the two war knives with two swords, the enemy's two hands, almost simultaneously, grabbed his shield from both sides, and then shook it hard at the same time, directly throwing the shield out and inserting it into the city wall.
At this time, some of the royal guards who followed Gulman had already reacted. Among them, those who have combat effectiveness hurriedly rushed to this side, wanting to come over to help Gu Liman. Those who have no combat effectiveness can only watch and be in a hurry.
The smarter ones saw that the shield was thrown out, and immediately rushed to the shield. They thought that as long as they got the shield to Gulman, he would be safe.
Gulimon thought the same thing. When he saw his men picking up a shield for him, he immediately lifted his spirits, and swung his scimitar to protect the vital point, ready to delay the time and wait for the shield to come.
However, Hua Ziyu and Xia Xianlong did not give him a chance to breathe.
Originally, the purpose of the two was just to sneak into the city, and they didn't plan to have any more conflicts with Gu Liman. But seeing that Gu Liman was so brutal, he killed the gatekeepers who were completely powerless to fight back, and the methods were particularly cruel and bloody.
The two of them were immediately filled with righteous indignation and were furious. So, the two exchanged glances and decided to deal with Gu Liman now!
Under the stormy attack of the two, Gu Liman was immediately covered in bruises, and the scimitar in his hand was also cut off.
Then, Hua Ziyu and Xia Xianlong stabbed the last knife at the same time. Hua Ziyu's knife stabbed Gu Liman in the chest, and Xia Xianlong's knife stabbed Gu Liman in the lower abdomen.
Gu Li's eyes widened, and he looked at the war knife on his chest and lower abdomen in disbelief, and sticky blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
He never thought that Hua Ziyu and Xia Xianlong would follow him. He didn't expect that the two would fight more and less, and they would also sneak attack.
It's too undevoid of morality!
Hua Ziyu and Xia Xianlong drew their knives. Gulman's body was on the ground.
Seeing this, the guards of the royal guard were stunned for a moment, and then, like crazy, drew their weapons and howled and rushed towards them.
Hua Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized why these guards would rush over regardless of it.
Because, in the Canaanite Commonwealth, there is a cruel military discipline. If a commander is killed in battle, his surviving subordinates will be beheaded if they flee back, and their families will be involved.
The two of them killed Gulman, and the fifty royal guards who followed Gulman were to be martyred for Gulman. Otherwise, even his family will die.
He glanced at Xia Xianlong, and immediately swung his sword to meet him. At present, there is no possibility of reconciliation in a situation that is not endless. In that case, what else is there to say? Just one word, do!
However, although the two are strong, they can't stand the overwhelming number of royal guards. And the royal guards are well-trained, and after the initial panic, the results of the long-term training come out. The two were gradually divided and besieged, falling behind, exhausted and struggling to save their lives.
Just as the two were considering whether to retreat, Wang Xiaotian suddenly fell from the sky with fluttering clothes. The two of them were overjoyed.
Wang Xiaotianren was still in the air, so he shouted to the soldiers guarding the city: "Your city lord has fled from the west gate, and the rebels will come immediately, so you should flee quickly." ”
After he finished speaking, he adjusted his direction in mid-air and rushed towards the guards besieging Hua Ziyu. With the addition of Wang Xiaotian, a new force, the two quickly killed three guards and broke the siege. Follow, and then go to Xia Xianlong's side to solve the siege.
After the three of them converged, there were only ten royal guards, and each of them was wounded. There were also several who were seriously injured and unable to move.
Wang Xiaotian couldn't bear it, and said: "Your defeat is decided, hurry up and run for your life." ”
The guards were as red as blood, panting as oxen, and glared at the three of them without speaking.
Xia Xianlong said solemnly: "What's the use of talking about this now? For them, the best choice is to die in battle." Or, let them beat us to death. You're not going to give your life away to save them, are you?"
Wang Xiaotian sighed. Of course he wouldn't. Therefore, he can only help those guards to be completely liberated.
Ten minutes later, all the royal guards who were still resisting were all heroically killed. Only the seriously wounded guards remained.
Hua Ziyu glanced at the seriously injured guards, turned around and walked towards the city. Wang Xiaotian also followed him in.
Xia Xianlong sighed, "It seems that I am the only one who is the bad guy." ”
He walked over and said calmly to the seriously injured guards who were staring at him with hideous faces: "Because this matter must be kept absolutely secret, it can only be offended. The factions are different and have nothing to do with personal vendettas. Don't blame. With that, he bowed his hand.
Then he took his sword and slew the guards one by one.
Wang Xiaotian heard the screams coming from behind, and he couldn't bear it. But he knew they had to.
If you let these people live, bring their message back to the Canaanite Federation. With the intelligence strength of the royal family of the Canaan Federation, it is not difficult to find out their identities.
Next, they will find ways to retaliate. Especially if the eldest prince is in power, the revenge will be more violent and unguardable.
Wang Xiaotian entered Dushant and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, I saw that the doors and windows of every house were closed, and there was no sound at all.
Walking further in, he suddenly saw a figure in the dark, hurrying out of the house on the left. Moreover, there were heart-rending cries in the house, both men and women, old and young.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xiaotian knew that those sneaky figures must be the ones who took advantage of the fire to rob the traitors, and he was about to rush over immediately, wanting to kill those people on the spot.
Hua Ziyu immediately grabbed him.
Wang Xiaotian was very puzzled and asked, "Professor, why did you hold me back? Shouldn't you kill the robbers while they are on fire?"
Hua Ziyu shook her head, "I can't manage so much now, it's important to get down to business." ”
Wang Xiaotian could only stomp his feet hatefully and continue to walk forward.
Soon they were on Central Street. The two of them heard from afar that there were killing shouts in many places near the central street, and there were even fires in many places. Countless men, women, and children on the street ran from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion crying and shouting.
Hua Ziyu grabbed an older man and asked, "What's going on over there in the City Lord's Mansion?"
The man looked panicked, and looked up to see the two men murderous and still holding weapons in their hands. He was even more frightened, trembling and speechless.
Hua Ziyu said gently: "Don't be nervous. We're not going to tell you what's going on, just want to ask what's going on?"
