Chapter 0439: The Eight Kings Are Dead
Di Qing led the army to the intersection of Xinsong Street, and saw Zhi Jixuan leading dozens of horsemen to rush and kill at another intersection.
The way in which the war was fought was very reckless.
I don't know that I cherish the old pawn that the fold family has accumulated over the years, and in the face of several times the enemy, I almost didn't hesitate to choose to kill head-on.
The elite of the rebels was led by Zhao Yuanyan into the inner city, and those who stayed outside the inner city were all rebels who made up a number, although the combat effectiveness was not strong, but the number was very large.
The hundred cavalry led by Zhi Jixuan is not heavy armor, and it cannot form any deterrent effect on the rebels at all.
When the rebels suffered a loss for the first time among the hundred horsemen in the hands of Zhi Jixuan, they immediately gathered together, formed a team of thousands of people, and rushed to kill Zhi Jixuan.
The hundred horses in Jixuan's hands also began to be damaged.
If it weren't for the fact that after the old Taijun returned to the house, he dispatched a few old soldiers in the Yang Mansion to support, I am afraid that the cavalry under the command of Ji Xuan would have suffered even more losses.
That's it.
Zhi Jixuan's momentum is still brave.
There was no intention of backing down.
Relying on his strong martial arts and the support of his old soldiers, he frequently rushed to kill in the rebels.
After Di Qing arrived, he only glanced at Zhi Jixuan, and then ignored him.
"Hundred horsemen break the formation!"
"The rest of the men will form an iron wall with me to stop the rebels!"
"A hundred tigers run together, load arrows!"
Di Qing quickly ordered.
A hundred heavy armor rushed out from behind, rushed along the cross of Chen Qiao Street and Xinsong Street, and cut off the rebels on Xinsong Street.
The rest of the heavy armor, after the hundred cavalry cut off the rebels, swarmed up and occupied the north and south sides of the cross of Chen Qiao Street, blocking the convergence of the rebels on Xinsong Street.
At the same time, the heavy cavalry suppressed the rebels and retreated, freeing up the battlefield for the rocketeers.
Seeing that the Tiger Character Army that had been killed halfway through the road had robbed his enemy, Zhi Jixuan immediately stepped forward unhappily and roared angrily: "Why are you bothering me to fight?!" ”
"Retreat!"
"Or die!"
Peng Yue led a hundred horsemen and blocked Zhi Jixuan from continuing to rush and kill.
Facing Zhi Jixuan's questioning, Peng Yue said coldly.
Peng Yue had a mask on his face, and with his cold tone, it made people shudder.
Zhi Jixuan was not frightened by his momentum, but said disdainfully: "There is no soldier and horse that is so domineering in front of my Zhi family!" ”
"Huh~"
The long knife in Peng Yue's hand slashed through his armor and flashed with a cold light.
The tip of the knife pointed directly at Zhi Jixuan, and repeated coldly: "Retreat!" Otherwise die! ”
Zhi Jixuan was annoyed and ashamed and was about to continue to speak, but was stopped by the old man behind him.
"Young Master...... The other party is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, who has overwhelmed the three forbidden armies and the four armies, so there is no need for the pro-soldiers at home to ......"
Although the Tiger Army has never set foot in Fuzhou, the name of the Tiger Army has also been heard of by the veterans.
In the entire Great Song Dynasty, everyone was wearing armor, except for the Jingsai army, which had been eroded, only the tiger army remained.
So the moment the Tiger Army appeared, the old pawns of the folded family recognized their identities.
Zhi Jixuan shook his arm dissatisfied.
The old pawn dragged him back a few steps strongly, and said anxiously in his ear: "Although the master has been promoted to the strategy, you are a big official. But there are many people in Bianjing City who can't afford to offend our families.
Among them is the Kou family behind the Tiger Army......
Not to mention the nominal control of the Tiger Army, the official family......
The Tiger Army is not one of those straw bales forbidden army you meet in the northwest, and they will not grovel when they hear the name of our family.
Although they have not experienced many major battles, their combat effectiveness is not to be underestimated.
People are entitled not to give you face.
Don't speak again, lest you bring trouble to the master. ”
The old man preached a lot with his heart.
Zhi Jixuan was still dissatisfied, but he didn't speak again.
Peng Yue put away the long knife and stared at Zhi Ji and said: "The Zhi family has been loyal and good for generations, and it is naturally respectable. But that doesn't include you. ”
When Zhi Jixuan heard this, he was annoyed, "I am the eldest son of the Zhe family!" ”
Peng Yue glanced at Zhi Jixuan, "So what?" The Fold family who made contributions on the battlefield and killed in blood is worthy of claiming to be a Fold family. You just want to use the name of the Zhe family to show off your might, which will only bring shame on the Zhe family. ”
As soon as Zhi Jixuan was about to sneer at each other, he saw chariots loaded with hundreds of tigers entering the battlefield.
The sound of intensive artillery fire sounded again.
Dense arrows burst out, like a curtain of rain, black and oppressive shrouded the past.
A salvo.
Within ten feet, not a single person survived.
Zhi Jixuan opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and couldn't say a word anymore.
"Shoot again!"
Di Qing coldly ordered.
The sound of artillery fire sounded again.
No one survived within twenty feet.
With Di Qing's orders again and again, the sound of intensive artillery battles has not stopped.
Ten times later.
Within a hundred feet, no one survived.
At the beginning, when the tigers were shooting violently, the rebels were still resisting.
After the fourth round of the Hundred Tigers rushed together, the rebels could only flee in confusion.
Faced with a blockade of heavy cavalry and arrows, they were simply unable to organize an effective charge.
"Heavy armor ready to pursue!"
"Hundreds of tigers run together and shoot again!"
Listening to Di Qing's cold voice sounded again.
The rebels closest to the Tiger Army were limp and sat down on the ground.
"We're down!"
"We're down!"
"Don't kill us!"
“……”
The rebels wailed loudly.
Di Qing waved his hand.
Let the heavy armored cavalry stop the momentum of preparing to charge, and let the soldiers on the chariot put down the fire fold that ignited the hundred tigers running together.
"Peng Yue!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Order you to lead 500 heavy armor, 1,000 light cavalry, and 2,000 rocket soldiers, and join Zhu Youbu to clear the rebels on the street and collect the captives who surrendered."
"Whoa!"
"The rest of the people, follow me into the inner city and relieve the siege of the imperial city!"
The voice landed.
Di Qing took the lead in rushing towards the Song Gate.
Fifteen hundred heavy armored cavalry, one thousand light cavalry, and two thousand rocket soldiers followed Di Qing and rushed towards the Song Gate.
On the way to the Song Gate.
All the rebels who knelt on the ground and asked for surrender, Di Qing and his party ignored them.
The rebels, who fled to the inner city in disarray, were fatally hit by light cavalry.
After entering Xinsong Street, the light cavalry bypassed the left and right sides of the heavy cavalry and charged forward, chasing the fleeing rebels while clearing the ground of things that hindered the heavy cavalry's charge.
The fighting outside the inner city was one-sided.
The war in the inner city is in chaos.
Zhao Yuanyan led the rebels and launched round after round of onslaught on the imperial city, but there was no effect.
From beginning to end, the battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and still no rebels could capture the city.
The corpses of the rebels under the city are increasing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
Zhao Yuanyan shouted loudly, promising many benefits and encouraging the rebels to attack the city.
Just as the rebels launched their eighth charge against the Imperial City.
A group of 100 old soldiers came out from the Fan Tower on the side of Donghua Gate.
The old soldiers knew that they could not fight against the rebels with a large number of people, so after killing the intersection of Fanlou and the imperial city, they did not take a step forward.
Instead, standing on the advantage of the narrow street entrance, the rebels could not pour in large numbers, and began to constantly harass and attack the rebels.
On the top of the city.
Seeing this, Zhu Neng said with a little puzzlement: "Why is there a reinforcement army with a number of about 100 people......
When Kou Ji heard this, he was slightly stunned and grinned, "The people of the Cao family have arrived......"
Zhu Neng was also stunned, turned around, and said unexpectedly: "The Cao family's trilogy? ”
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
Zhu Neng muttered in a low voice: "Cao Wei is not in the imperial city, what are the Cao family's subordinates doing at this time?" Sent to death? ”
Kou Ji smiled but didn't say anything.
After hearing the appearance of the Cao family's trilogy, Kou Ji knew that this war had come to an end.
The Cao family's subordinates fought desperately in Cao Wei's absence to show their loyalty.
This Koji knows.
Because it was Kou Ji's idea.
Furthermore.
The appearance of the Cao family trilogy has another meaning.
That is to force other generals to send troops one after another.
The imperial city was besieged.
The Cao family sent troops to quell the rebellion, which not only showed loyalty, but also reflected the attitude of the Cao family in the usurpation of Zhao Yuanyan.
The other generals naturally can't continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
The Cao family sent troops, and other generals did not send troops, what kind of trouble is this?
Disagree with Zhao Zhen sitting on the throne of God?
Or is it a faint support for Zhao Yuanyan's usurpation?
When Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion is put down, what will Zhao Zhen think?
What will Zhao Zhen do?
It is inevitable to settle accounts after the autumn.
Therefore, after the Cao family sent troops, even if the other generals were reluctant to join the battlefield, they had to join the battlefield with their subordinates.
Sure enough.
When the Cao family's trilogy reached the time when there was not a stick of incense, the Li family's trilogy arrived.
Then there are the Gao family, the Shi family, the Pan family, and so on.
The army that was temporarily pulled up when Zhou Huaizheng rebelled was formed again.
After the tribes formed a large army, they no longer fought a war of attrition at the entrance of the street, but chose to take the initiative to enter the battlefield and began to fight the rebels.
Zhao Yuanyan saw the army of subordinates appearing, and his eyes almost didn't pop out.
"Hateful!"
"Hateful!"
“……”
The imperial city could not be attacked for a long time.
There will be more and more soldiers and horses rushing to the imperial city everywhere.
Zhao Yuanyan began to feel that the hope of attacking the imperial city had become slim.
The rebels began to retreat under the strangulation of the forbidden soldiers and the troops at the head of the city.
Zhao Yuanyan frantically waved the long sword in his hand, forcing the rebels to continue to attack the city.
"Don't be afraid! Go ahead and besiege the city! Go ahead and besiege the city! I ambushed the Dark Chess in the palace! ”
"I ambushed the dark chess in the palace! Zhao Zhen will die! ”
“……”
When the rebels heard this, their retreat faded a little, and they began to attack the city again.
On the top of the city.
When Zhu Neng heard this, his face turned pale, he suddenly turned around and yelled at Kou Ji: "Zhao Yuanyan said that he ambushed the dark chess in the palace, and your grandfather is in danger!" ”
When Kou Ji heard this, he was startled and shouted, "Liu Heng! Come with me to the Arch Temple! ”
After Liu Heng got the message from his subordinates, he hurried to Kou Ji's side.
Just when Zhu Neng was about to transfer some soldiers and horses to follow Kou Ji into the palace.
Di Qing and his entourage finally exterminated the rebels standing in front of the Song Gate and entered the inner city.
galloped all the way to the battlefield of Donghuamen.
Meanwhile.
A shaking explosion of the imperial city shook and resounded in the palace.
A drug-haired puppet rises into the air with a comet's tail.
The medicine golem blooms in the air.
A golden Buddha shadow was reflected.
Seeing this, the four instrument supervisors guarding Zhao Yuanyan's side shrank their pupils at the same time.
Almost without hesitation, they pulled out the sharp blades in their hands and stabbed at Zhao Yuanyan.
Liu E's medicine puppet hidden in the palace was not only used to dispatch the Tianwu and Japanese armies outside the city, but also to give orders to the four masters of the instrument prison to assassinate Zhao Yuanyan.
"Puff ......"
Four sharp blades sounded into the flesh.
Zhao Yuanyan, who was shouting and urging the rebels to attack the city, froze on horseback.
The pupils dilated little by little.
Zhao Yuanyan glared at the four personal guards in disbelief.
"You...... You too...... Traitor ......"
Maybe it's going to die.
Maybe Zhao Yuanyan sensed something through Wang Qinruo's betrayal.
Zhao Yuanyan's brain was unprecedentedly bright.
"It's Liu E, isn't it! It's Liu E, right?! ”
With blood coming out of his mouth, Zhao Yuanyan stared at the four personal guards and asked.
Without waiting for the four personal guards to speak.
Zhao Yuanyan looked up to the sky and spit out a mouthful of reverse blood, and roared in the most tragic and tragic voice in his life.
"Liu E!"
This sound used up all his strength.
He tilted his head and fell on his horse.
Li Yan, who was guarding Zhao Yuanyan's side, was stunned in place.
The rebel generals reacted first and killed the four masters of the armament prison.
The masters of the instrument supervisor rose up to resist.
The other rebel generals, after seeing Zhao Yuanyan's death again, were taken aback, and passed the news to the other soldiers in their throats.
"The Eight Kings are dead!"
"The Eight Kings are dead! Run! ”
“……”
The rebels were in chaos in an instant.
On the top of the city.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Neng hurriedly ran to the inner battlement of the city wall, and shouted at Kou Ji, who was leading the soldiers and horses, preparing to go to the Vertical Arch Hall to rescue him.
"Wait!"
"Do what?"
Kou Ji hurriedly asked.
Zhu Neng's mouth trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan, dead!" ”
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment and narrowed his eyes, "Who did it?" ”
Although Kou Ji already had an answer in his heart, he couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Neng said in a trembling voice: "Before he died, the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan shouted the name of the Queen Mother!" ”
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
"I see!"
Zhu Neng didn't say anything more and went back to defend the city.
Kou Ji retracted his gaze, looked at Liu Heng, and said with a slight sneer: "Your aunt is really a warrior!" ”
Liu Heng had a gloomy face and did not speak.
The two led a group of soldiers and horses and rushed to the vertical arch hall.
Rushed all the way to the door of the vertical arch hall, and saw a shocking scene.
The entrance of the vertical arch hall.
Corpses littered the ground.
If you count them, there are hundreds of corpses.
Empress Cao held a halberd in her hand, and stood at the door of the vertical arch hall, and beside her, there were two palace ladies standing with guns.
If you look closely, you will find that the queen Cao and the two palace ladies are holding ritual vessels in their hands.
The blades in the hands of the guards were stained with blood, apparently having just experienced a fight.
But for some reason, the queen Cao blocked the door of the vertical arch hall and did not let them approach the vertical arch hall.
Kou Ji glanced at the corpses lying on the ground, who were also wearing the armor of the Imperial Guard, and understood why.
