Final Chapter. 50. Serial Meter (6)
However, tonight's rebellion and the scale of the battle between the two sides are not large; But the final result of victory and defeat can almost determine the entire future of the entire Youbei Third Road.
Although Emperor Xingping has become a quasi-father, the dragon son has not yet been born after all; If he dies today under Di Ting's serial scheme, then the dragon chair on Youbei Third Road will immediately become a golden-roofed tent in the Mobei grassland, attracting all the princes to recklessly compete to raise troops!
Let's ask, if Yan Qinghong is assassinated tonight, then who has the best chance to sit on the vacant dragon chair? If you look at it from the card alone, it is obvious that Yan Chongwu, who was born in the royal family and is currently holding the Guanbei heroes, has an overwhelming advantage. However, just like the reason for the fragmentation of the Mobei grassland, if even Yan Chongwu, a relative, is qualified to participate in it; Then all the royal relatives surnamed Yan are qualified to stand on the same starting line as him.
can face Yan Chongwu, who holds the military power of Guanbei, even if these clansmen are tied together, they are definitely not the opponent of the Flying Bear Army; In addition, the tiger and wolf division of Guo Xing of the Shenshi tribe has now been about to split the three roads of Youbei through a steady and steady way; At least until the final winner was decided in Fengjing, the other two soldiers and horses were completely powerless to intervene, and at the same time became two borderless lands......
That is to say, if today's plan is successful, then Guo Xing will immediately take advantage of the Fengjing Chaos to attack the Zhongshan Governor's Army that is in the midst of command chaos; At the same time, Li Zilin, who was isolated by the flames of war, even if he did not fully surrender to the Shenshi tribe, he would inevitably have the idea of enclosure and self-style!
As for whether Yan Chongwu has the intention of coveting the throne, it doesn't matter at all; As long as Yan Qinghong dies, he and his Flying Bear Army will immediately become the target of public criticism; And now the seemingly monolithic Youbei Third Road will also be dismembered into countless pieces!
Therefore, Shen Gui came to Beilan Palace today, not only for personal relations, but also for official business. He couldn't let the three roads of Youbei go alone, and he didn't want to sit back and watch Zhongshan Road groan in pain under the iron hooves of the Mobei cavalry.
The jade steps of Beilan Palace are extremely high, but there will eventually be an end; The "headless" eunuchs were lowly in skill, but they were also superior in numbers. The deputy general of the Imperial Forest Army, who was aroused by Yan Qinghong's bold words, stood at the forefront of the Imperial Forest Army with a steel sword in his hand and iron armor, as if a steel knife pierced into the tofu, and easily smashed into the depths of the enemy formation, cutting a huge gap in the scattered ranks of hundreds of people.
If you look at it purely from a military point of view, even if the strength of the two sides is more than ten times apart, the Royal Forest Army, as the inferior side, may not be without the strength to fight.
First of all, many of the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army are veterans of the Taibai Army, and all of them are veterans of the battlefield who are one in a hundred; It doesn't matter if they are cheating and slipping on weekdays, but today they are already in the place of death, and they have both feet on the edge of the cliff, so they can no longer care about hiding their secrets. As the saying goes, mourning soldiers will win, and when this group of veteran soldiers burst out with real combat effectiveness, the lethality is often extremely amazing.
Secondly, although the clothes of this group of rebellious inner prisons are uniform, they are obviously the kind of earthy yellow coarse cloth gowns issued by the Huashen Sect; The name is blown with earth-shattering sounds, saying that there is some mana blessing, the blessing of the gods, how many times the light has been opened, and how many heavenly and earthly treasures have been used to weave it; But in fact, this kind of coarse linen with the lowest cost is just a story made up by Zhang Yuan in order to take the opportunity to make money. If anyone really expects this layer of weasel skin to be invulnerable, invulnerable, then even if he dies under the enemy's random knife, it is not a bad thing to trample his good head!
Let's take a look at the protection ability of the Imperial Forest Army, from the deputy general to the small soldier, a total of forty-two people, from the head to the feet, all of them are new layers of pine heavy armor, and the iron armor leaves are layered and impermeable, which can be called the top configuration of the heavy armored infantry of the three roads in the north and even the Huayu Continent! The cost of such armor is extremely expensive, and it is certainly unrealistic to equip the whole army; But if only 3,000 people are equipped with the Royal Forest Army, it is still not a problem.
Of course, high protection capacity naturally brings the disadvantages of high load. The weight of just a set of pine pattern armor is close to sixty catties! sacrificing the flexibility of his body in exchange for strong protective ability, although in the eyes of martial arts masters like Shen Gui, it is simply childish and ridiculous; But once on the battlefield, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can be ten with one.
And the other party's five hundred or so rebel eunuchs are just a rabble, and they are very different from the elite team of the imperial horse eunuchs; And although the steel knife in their hands is of excellent quality, if they want to break through the heavy armor of the Royal Forest Army, the sharpness of the steel knife itself alone is far from enough.
The front lines of the two camps quickly approached, and under the charge of the adjutant, more than forty Royal Forest soldiers swarmed up, killing a gap in the formation of hundreds of enemy troops! Seeing that he was about to kill the enemy's formation, the lieutenant immediately shouted:
"Change formation!"
A sharp arrow array composed of forty people quickly dispersed, and in front of the steps of Beilan Palace, a ring formation was formed in the enemy formation, with its back to the circle and the knife edge outward, like a stubborn reef in the vast ocean, resisting the washing of the human waves again and again!
At this point, even though the two sides are already entangled; The inner prisoners naturally have little battlefield experience, and they basically fight on their own, rushing to fight together; However, this bloodied and disheveled lieutenant commander still maintained a very clear mind and was not red-eyed by the enemy's blood. The reason why they formed a ring defense formation was not that they lacked the courage to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, but that they clearly remembered that the first task of this battle was to protect the emperor, and by no means to completely wipe out the rebellious army.
"Monkey cubs, what are you doing in a daze? Zip line! ”
In the midst of the originally extremely chaotic battle situation, a sharp and piercing voice suddenly sounded; I saw that the stragglers who were originally fighting separately seemed to have suddenly opened their spiritual apertures and quickly retreated; At the same time, some of the inner prison doors on the periphery threw countless hemp rope sleeves from the gaps in the crowd......
If these eunuchs were all from Mobei, then they only needed dozens of nooses to strangle this team of almost invulnerable heavy infantry by neck; It's a pity that the craft of throwing rope is also a technical job, and without the assistance of the experience of setting horses and sheep from a young age, it has to be practiced for at least three years and five years in order to play a real effect.
The work of the inner prisoners is rude, but they win by numbers. Hundreds of rope nooses with knots in circles fell into the encirclement, and it was not a fantasy to want to trap forty heavy armored infantry with limited mobility.
Even if these Royal Foresters are the elite of the elite, once they are strangled by the rope, they are completely powerless; No matter who is lucky enough to get it, there will immediately be countless eunuchs to help him drag him backwards! These Imperial Forest soldiers were wearing nearly sixty pounds of iron armor, and once they were strangled by the neck and dragged to the ground by the noose, it would take at least a lot of effort to stand up again; However, these eunuchs had to expend so much effort to drag a Royal Sergeant to the ground, so how could they stop there? The assassin is not a wrestling field, all actions are aimed at killing the enemy!
Therefore, their gang of murderers and thieves with six incomplete roots, in fact, like Yan Qinghong, has no way out at all!
It's true that the blade can't split through the dense pages of iron, but the dagger can be inserted between the joints and the armor!
When a royal sergeant fell on his back, countless eunuchs immediately rushed up, crushing him down in the form of stacking arhats, controlling his hands, feet, and waist; Then, they would pull out the daggers hanging from their boots, stab them into each other's bodies and stir them repeatedly through the gaps that the nail leaves could not protect......
In an instant, the battlefield situation that could barely maintain the balance of power was immediately broken by some "amateur rope throwers"! These eunuchs have really been planning for a long time, and the embarrassment between Di Ting and Huashen Sect also shows their careful planning and preparation. After all, this move is to assassinate the king of a country, and the Imperial Forest Army, as the main protective force in the palace, is of course a big problem that must be solved!
Shen Gui heard the screams and roars of the Royal Forest Sergeant before he died, and finally couldn't help but speak, and said a very taboo proposal:
"If I make a move, you, the forty loyal and brave Royal Forest Army, may be able to leave a few more sparks behind......"
When Yan Qinghong heard this, his expression changed several times, and even the fingers that held the hilt of the sword were clenched tightly, and the skin at the joints oozed a miserable white. He had spoken several times, but in the end he still couldn't say a word of invitation, but all his emotions turned into a sigh:
"Hey... The road ahead is bumpy and full of thorns. I...... I can't always rely on your protection......"
Shen Gui also knew that this was the best opportunity for Yan Qinghong to establish his prestige in the army; If you solve it yourself, you can quickly solve the disaster in front of you; But for Yan Qinghong's future, it's not just a matter of missing the opportunity. The matter is a matter in the palace, and the bandits are the people in the palace, if Shen Gui has to be asked to take action in this matter, it will not only push Shen Gui's prestige in the army to an unattainable position again! And in his own life, he can no longer gain the slightest attachment of military heart.
Looking at it after the "Horse Race", there are only a few of the more than 40 Tiger Warriors of the Royal Forest Army who still have the ability to move at this time.
"King Zhongshan! The last general and others have fought to the last moment, and they are about to be loyal to the country! The safety of Your Majesty and the Empress is in your hands......"
"Hmph, what kind of big guy are you pretending to be when you die...... Ho!! ……”
The deputy general just shouted out his last words heroically, and then swung a knife at the eunuch who interrupted with a strange yin and yang anger! A cold full moon pierced the night, starting from the right collarbone of the inner prisoner and ending at the left side of his waist, and a terrifying knife was torn open!
Like Li Qing, these eunuchs have also seen dead people, and they also have a few lives under their hands, but their usual methods of doing evil are all known for their vicious moves to cause fatal internal injuries, but they have never seen such a tragic and terrifying scene as "disemboweling and disemboweling, hanging intestines outside the body"!
