Chapter 562: The Bloody Battle on Long Street
At a glance, Yang Muyun had a good impression of this Marquis Zheng. As a scholar, he has always admired those Confucian generals who can strategize and win thousands of miles away, and Zheng Ke looks like such a character. How did he know that Zheng Ke's ability to lead troops in combat was tempered step by step in the war against the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Ke and Li Li, the founding monarch of the Later Li Dynasty in Annam, were fellow villagers, and at the beginning they only gave advice under Li Li's tent, and after Li Li discovered his excellent military ability, he began to let him take charge of himself, and played an important role in the heavy damage to the Ming Dynasty army in the battle of Zhiling and Changjiang. After Li Li ascended the throne as the king of Annam, he made Zheng Ke a county marquis. Like the Ming Dynasty, the Annam dynasty wore crimson court clothes to show nobility the most, so the Annam monarch Li Lilit gave Zheng Ke the right to wear red scarlet court clothes, and no more than ten founding fathers had the same privileges as him. After Li Li's death, Zheng Ke continued to assist Li Li's son Li Yuanlong as a minister, because he was not domineering, did not abuse power, and acted in a low-key manner, so he won Li Yuanlong's favor. This time, he led troops to conquer the city state, and Li Yuanlong appointed him as the commander to show his trust. And Zheng Ke did not disappoint Li Yuanlong, led the army all the way to destroy the city, and even took the capital of the city of Vijaya, the king of the city of Cham Mahaviya did not want to abandon the city and fled after the city was broken, and was injured and captured under the battle.
After this battle, Zheng Ke's prestige reached the extreme, and the scenery was unlimited for a while, and on the way back to China, the people of Annan rushed to see his style.
Zheng Ke sat on the war elephant and waved to the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the street, and everywhere he passed, the people let out sky-shaking cheers, which showed the prestige of this Marquis Zheng among the people.
The cavalry accompanying Zheng Ke's war elephant was dressed in iron armor and wore an iron helmet that covered his face, revealing only two eyes.
"This is the most elite Tietu army in Dayue," said the old man who had just spoken to Yang Muyun, "As long as the Tietu army fights, no one can stop it," glancing at him, "Do you have such elite cavalry in Daming?" ”
Yang Muyun smiled, did not argue with him, and looked at the wooden building opposite. As the war elephant riding by Zheng Ke gradually moved closer, the wooden windows on the wooden building gradually opened a crack.
"It's time to do it...... Yang Muyun looked at his heart tightly, and looked at his side again, "Strange, why do many people in Annan have a bamboo pole in their hands?" "Annan is prolific with bamboo, bamboo poles as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and the locals like to make all kinds of utensils out of bamboo, but Yang Muyun felt a little strange when he saw them holding the long, thick bamboo poles in their hands.
Zheng Ke still had a smile on his face, waving his hand to greet the people who had come to pay his respects.
....
At the gate of the Huazhou Prefecture Office, Zhizhou led his subordinates and Master Fan and his party of squires to also set up the incense case, respectfully waiting for the arrival of Zheng Dashuai.
Huazhou Zhizhou's surname is Pan, called Pan Liao, who went to Taixue in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and then returned to China to participate in the examination of Jinshike, and was personally named by Li Yuanlong as the tenth place in the second class. Because he has been gilded in Daming, this Pan Zhizhou has always been very conceited, thinking that he can enter the prime minister, and he wants to make friends with the upper echelons of Annan. This time, Zheng Ke led his army to cross the border, and he tried his best to invite him to his state office to rest, wanting to take this opportunity to get close.
According to the original intention of this Pan Zhizhou, he can't wait to lead all the subordinates of the state government to meet him outside the city. But before he was ready, Zheng Ke's car had already arrived outside the city gate, and he had no choice but to greet him in front of the gate of the state government.
Pan Zhizhou stood at the front of everyone with a look of anticipation, waiting for the appearance of the big man, when a servant hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words in his ear. Pan Zhizhou was shocked, turned around and shouted to the officials and squires behind him: "Quick, gather everyone, bring weapons, there is a situation ahead." ”
....
Zheng Ke's war elephant finally arrived at the side of the wooden building, "Bang Bang La-" More than a dozen wooden beds facing the street on the wooden building opened instantly, and the sound of "Xiu Xiu-" was endless, dozens of arrows flew towards Zheng Ke like lightning, and the sound of arrows flying out of the air also sounded above Yang Muyun's head, and a group of archers were ambushed on the roof on the other side of the street, and as soon as the companion on the opposite side opened the window, this side immediately stood up and bent the bow and shot at Zheng Ke, opening the bow left and right, making people unavoidable.
"Poof-" An arrow accurately hit Zheng Ke's neck, and the commander of the Annan army fell from the back of the war elephant, and the scene was immediately chaotic.
"Choking-" sounded from Yang Muyun's ears, he looked sideways, and saw an Annan citizen next to him pull out a knife from the bamboo pole as thick as an arm in his hand and stabbed it into the chest of an Annan soldier in front of him, and then the sound of pulling out the knife was endless, and one by one the people who looked deferential instantly became hideous, pulled out the knife hidden in the bamboo pole and pounced on the Annan officers and soldiers who were guarding Zheng Ke's war elephant, and the fighting sound was loud for a while.
The real people of Annam cried and shouted in a mess, but the officers and soldiers of Annam could no longer distinguish who was a good citizen and who was an assassin, and when they saw someone running over, they slashed at it.
"Quick, get out of here......" Yang Muyun said to Ruan Ling and Ah Lian.
The two seemed to be so stunned by what they saw before them that they forgot to move for a moment. Yang Muyun stomped his feet, pulled up the two and left. I only heard a scream, and when I looked sideways, I saw an Annan officer and soldier raising a knife and slashing at the old man who had just spoken to him.
"Are they crazy? How do you attack the people? Yang Muyun didn't have time to think about it, pushed Ruan Ling and Ah Lian, and shouted, "You guys go first!" He stepped forward, raised his leg and kicked the Annan soldier in the chest, he screamed, and his body flew out.
"Uncle, get out of here quickly!" Yang Muyun helped the old man up.
"Thank you, childe...... Be careful! The old man looked behind him in horror.
Yang Muyun turned his head to look, but saw several Annan officers and soldiers rushing towards him with knives and guns.
"Let's go-" Yang Muyun pushed the old man and stepped forward to meet him....
There was chaos in all directions, and the assassins, the officers and soldiers of Annam, and the people of Annam were all mixed together, and even the war elephants were frightened, raising their proboscis and rushing left and right.
The assassins on the wooden building and on the roof kept shooting arrows downward, and many Annan officers and civilians fell to the ground one after another. The assassins disguised as civilians raised their swords and rushed towards Zheng Ke, who had fallen from the war elephant, and the officers and soldiers of Annan desperately defended him.
Yang Muyun knocked several Annan officers and soldiers who pounced on him to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw more Annan officers and soldiers rushing towards him.
"They can't think of me as an assassin, do they?" Yang Muyun broke out in a cold sweat, opened his mouth and shouted, "Hey, I'm not an assassin!" Don't come here......"
But the officers and soldiers of Annan turned a deaf ear and still rushed forward with red eyes.
"Brush-" A knife slashed through the side of Yang Muyun's neck, Yang Muyun stopped shouting, and concentrated on the enemy.
Here, more Annan officers and soldiers drove over, and they were divided into several teams under the command of a general and surrounded the scene. Hundreds of archers then stepped forward, lined up in a neat line, and fired their bows and arrows at the assassins on the wooden buildings and rooftops.
The young man who had met Yang Muyun at the city gate in the morning jumped down from the wooden building, jumped onto the back of the elephant that Zheng Ke was sitting on, and looked at the direction where Zheng Ke fell.
"I didn't expect this person to be a martial arts master!" Yang Muyun saw it from afar, and secretly praised it in his heart, "No wonder he could see my secret trick before." ”
The young man pulled out a strange blade full of jagged teeth from behind his back, and with a slight shake of his wrist, he swung out a series of blade shadows, and the officers and soldiers in front of him were either killed or wounded.
Zheng Ke struggled to get up, because he was hit by an arrow in the neck, and half of his body was stained red with blood. As soon as he looked up, he saw that the young man had already swung his blade in front of him, and before he could scream, the young man's hand fell from the blade, blood splattered from his neck, and his human skull rolled to the side.
The officers and soldiers of Annan let out an earth-shattering shout, and the young man did not hesitate any longer, picked up the head on the ground, and was about to rush out, but was surrounded by the red-eyed officers and soldiers of Annan.
"Zheng Ke is dead?" Yang Muyun saw all this from afar, slightly stunned, and felt like a dream.
The officers and men of Annam were not disorganized by the death of the commander-in-chief, but fought more fiercely.
Yang Muyun repelled a group and embraced another group. He didn't want the other party to misunderstand, so he only knocked people down, and didn't hurt people's lives. But the officers and soldiers of Annan still brandished swords and guns and greeted him fiercely.
"Hey, are you all blind?" Yang Muyun punched and kicked while keeping saying, "I'm not an assassin, otherwise I would have killed you." "I don't know at all that this group of Annan soldiers doesn't understand Chinese.
He pushed an Annan soldier out of the way with one elbow, and swept down another sweeping leg. As soon as he straightened up, "Huh-" A sharp blade slashed against his cheek, accurate and ruthless, if he hadn't dodged faster, I'm afraid he would have broken his appearance.

As soon as he shook the reins of his horse, and before he had run a few steps, he saw several ironclad knights surrounding him, and two iron spears stretched forward and stabbed him one after the other. Yang Muyun was short, and two spears passed by.
"This Iron Assault Army is indeed a bit interesting," Yang Muyun said secretly in his heart: "The combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of Annan is much stronger than that of ordinary Annan officers, but it is still not as good as the Iron Cavalry of the Tartars." ”
He looked in amazement, only to see a knight in iron armor stabbing at him with a spear in his hand, and the iron helmet on his head covered his face, revealing only two eyes.
"Iron Turquoise?" Yang Muyun suddenly remembered that the old man had told him that the Tietu Army was the most elite cavalry unit in Annan, and few people in the world could resist it.
As soon as he was stunned, the ironclad knight stabbed another spear into his chest, and before he had time to think about it, he grabbed the shaft of the spear sideways, jumped up, and kicked the ironclad knight off his horse. Then he grabbed the saddle and turned over on the horse.
