Chapter 347: Tricked
The floor tiles of the palace of the Chu Dynasty are divided into two types, one is Shandong Linqing bricks, which are used for outdoor ground; The other is the Suzhou Imperial Kiln gold brick, which is used for the inner temple. The craftsmanship is cumbersome and exquisite, and the cost of each brick is higher than that of the same weight of gold.
It was night, in the battlefield of nearly 10,000 people, the feet of the soldiers were trampled on the messy blood, and every floor tile covered by blood was still laid layer after layer of Linqing bricks, and there were fifteen layers of floors in the ground.
The dignity of imperial power can be seen.
In this battle, Zhou Zhao is fighting for this supreme imperial power.
Every soldier who fought for Zhou Zhao was also fanatical and excited.
Of course, they were also afraid of death, and they once turned around and broke up in front of Jiannu. However, tonight's battle is different.
Death is also death in this nine-fold palace, on top of this brilliant gold brick.
Under the light of imperial power, the blood of the soldiers of the Shenshu Battalion seemed to be ignited.
As long as the crown prince can be helped to ascend the throne, it will be an eternal honor for them to die......
On the long steps, Wang Xiao stood there straight, his face calm. The wind blew his clothes, and his demeanor was handsome.
This made the generals of the Tiger Ben Four Guards a little more relieved.
However, Wang Xiao was actually a little confused.
He couldn't quite empathize with the worship of imperial power in this era, and he didn't quite understand the fanaticism of the soldiers of the Shenshu Battalion.
On the other hand, although he has experienced several battles, it is also the first time he has encountered a battlefield of this scale.
His modern thinking made him feel that the soldiers of the Chu Dynasty were weak...... For example, the legendary Shenshu Camp can't be defeated either.
Through the records of the book, through the cognition of the decay of the army at the end of a dynasty, his impression of this army is only empty salary, neglect of training, and discouragement......
But, what is the situation of a hundred strong men slashing each other with knives?
What is the situation of a thousand people slashing each other with knives?
When more than 8,000 people gathered together to fight, the cold weapon cut the flesh and blood of the living limbs. When a flesh and blood construct a Shura Hell, people just want to immediately turn around and escape from this nightmare of killing.
Seeing such a scene with his own eyes, Wang Xiao only felt that his scalp was numb.
He wasn't afraid, but he was shocked...... Tough.
Time and time again, these soldiers survived the purgatory of war, living by licking blood from their blades. No matter how badly they are portrayed, they are not comparable to an ordinary person who has not been on the battlefield.
Wang Xiao was even more shocked, so what about Guan Ning Tieqi? Then, how terrible was the army of Manchuria?
With more than 400 years of experience in his mind and power in the court, during this period of time, he actually underestimated the world in his heart.
Zhou Zhao is a fool; Xu Qiaogong is stupid......
But, to control 7,000 people, to control them to fight all the time in this hell of killing, how can a fool do it?
Xu Qiao's function is all the way from an officer to the general soldier, not to mention other abilities...... When it comes to fighting, Wang Xiao knows that he is far behind.
Emperor Yanguang ordered Xu Qiaogong to lead the Shenshu camp, and the world would only scold him for being mediocre, but how many people in Beijing could really compete with him on the battlefield?
Wang Xiao thought about it for a while, and under his hands, only Zhang Yongnian should be able to do it. Liu Yikou, Xiao Chai He, and Bai Lao Hu still don't have such talents, and Tandang and Zhuang Xiaoyun lack experience......
These thoughts only passed in his mind for a moment, and Wang Xiao looked at it, only to see that the four guards of the tiger were already scattered.
It's so fast!
It shouldn't be so fast.
Although the strength of the Shenshu Battalion is numerous, the Tiger Ben guards the Jinshui Bridge, and the implementation of the Shenshu Battalion cannot be opened.
But now that Tiger Benwei is in chaos, it is obviously far from the opponent's combat strength.
"Kill!"
The front of the Shenshu battalion pressed on the Jinshui Bridge, almost breaking through the defense line of the Tiger Ben Four Guards in one fell swoop.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Suddenly, there was a loud drum beating.
Someone looked up and saw Wang Xiao, who was dressed in a luxurious python robe, standing in front of the drum and beating hard.
The drum was a morning drum, which was used by ministers in the early dynasties. After Wang Xiao used all his strength to beat hard, he shouted hoarsely: "Tiger Benwei obeys the order!" The palace gates are closed, and we have no way out. Die or die! After the counterinsurgency, everyone has a reward! I, the princess of the Son of Heaven, am willing to live and die with all the kings! ”
As he spoke, he lifted a large wooden box with all his might, and the silver rolled down the stairs like water......
"Your Majesty has prepared a reward of silver, and today the rebellion will be quelled, and everyone will be promoted to one level and rewarded with twenty taels of silver. There are those who killed Zhou Zhao and Xu Qiaogong, and they were named marquis and uncle......"
From afar, Xu Qiaogong showed a sneer: "Stubborn resistance." ”
But I heard Wang Xiao shouting again: "Today, Zhou Zhao is plotting rebellion, Your Majesty has already expected it, and has arranged heavy troops, everyone will block for another quarter of an hour, and there will be a large army to surround and kill the thieves, and the merit is in one fell swoop!" ”
This was what he wanted to say before, but unfortunately he was interrupted by Xu Qiaogong after shouting "You are surrounded by me", and at this time he was finally able to shout it through the sound of drums.
The fighting over there eased up a bit.
"Jumping clown!" Xu Qiaogong shouted very angrily: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's just a plan to delay." Fight the enemy! The immortal work is in front of you! ”
Wang Xiao shouted two words at the top of his throat, only to feel that his throat was about to smoke, and then he turned to look at a woman wearing a queen's veil escorted by several soldiers.
The queen was tied up with five flowers, blindfolded, with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, and whined.
Sang Luo next to her was dressed as a soldier.
Seeing Wang Xiao's eyes, Sang Luo nodded, held his mouth and shouted: "Zhao'er, quickly lead people to escape, flee to Nanjing, don't fall into your father's ambush......"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Zhou Zhao was stunned, the battlefield was extremely noisy, and he couldn't really hear it for a while, but he was a little dazed.
"Wang laughs! You don't want to touch my mother! ”
"Okay, I'll let Xue Zhaodi go, and you let people stop."
Zhou Zhao was stunned again.
Xu Qiaogong was about to persuade Zhou Zhao not to shout again, when he suddenly heard Wang Xiao shouting again: "Don't hurt the queen." ”
Zhou Zhao raised his eyes and saw a figure in a Xia tiara dress staggering down the steps in the distance.
It was too far away, and it couldn't really be seen in the moonlight, but Zhou Zhao still shouted: "Stop, don't hurt my mother!" ”
"Your Highness, Wang Xiao is dragging out time."
"Then what do you want Hongu to do?!" Zhou Zhao suppressed his voice and drank.
Xu Qiaogong glanced at him and came down silently.
The soldiers on both sides were still fighting, but the central axis of the battlefield was very tacitly to get out of the way, allowing a blindfolded woman to walk through one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Wherever she went, the soldier abruptly stopped his sword and let her pass.
There was something strange about it.
Many people are also attracted to the past......
After a long time, the woman touched Zhou Zhao in embarrassment.
The light of the torches flickered on and off.
Zhou Zhao was suddenly surprised: "You are not the queen mother?" Who are you? ”
A soldier stepped forward and took off her blindfold and the cloth from her mouth.
"Mama Feng?" Zhou Zhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "How is my queen mother?" ”
"Your Highness."
Mama Feng looked panicked, looked around, and asked Xu Qiaogong in a panic: "General Xu, let me ask you, do you have any secret contact with Jianingbo?" ”
Xu Qiaogong was slightly stunned, vaguely aware of something.
Mama Feng still had a very frightened expression on her face, and suddenly cried loudly: "Your Highness, Niangniang told you to leave quickly!" It's a conspiracy...... This is Wang Xiaobu's game! He just wants to force you and General Xu to rebel, and take the opportunity to kill you in the name of the name, so as to help the fourth child to ascend to the top......"
Xue Boju suddenly let out an "ah" and suddenly understood.
Zhou Zhao opened his mouth in disbelief.
"The little uncle was deceived, and the queen was deceived...... Your Highness, do you know? It's Wang Zhu who has been going to kill you all along! Wang Zhu ...... He's ...... The husband of Zhao Yuanwei's daughter is Wang Zhu, and he is Wang Xiao's elder brother...... Your Highness, you have fallen into their trap, go quickly, Niangniang let the old slave lead His Highness to Nanjing......"
Zhou Zhao's face turned pale in an instant.
The fear of the past three years instantly flooded his heart, shattering his imperial spirit. He took a step back and exclaimed, "Retreat!" Hurry up ......"
Suddenly, blood splattered his face!
!!
Slash down in the air.
Mama Feng still had a terrifying fear on her face, mixed with the joy of escaping...... Half of his body has slowly fallen.
"Old slave...... Nanjing......"
Xu Qiaogong withdrew the long knife in his hand, and shouted with a blue face: "Your Highness, don't listen to this old man's gossip to confuse the public!" ”
Zhou Zhao muttered, "But...... But...... The incriminating evidence of General Xu and Jianingbo's contact was fabricated by them? We ...... in the middle of the plan"
"Your Highness, this old woman lied to you!"
Zhou Zhao hesitated in his heart and asked Xue Boju: "You say, have you been deceived?" ”
As soon as he turned his head, he suddenly found that Xue Boju had disappeared at some point......
