Chapter 216: Sweep away all pests and insects, invincible (4)
Just when the noise of the mansion sounded, Ruyi had already woken up from her sleep, and when she heard the sound of messy footsteps, she was almost sure that there must have been a major change in the front yard, otherwise it would be impossible for all the guards around to gather in the front yard.
Hurriedly put on the outside reward, took the sword and bow, walked a few steps to the courtyard, saw seven or eight guards, was rushing to the front yard in a group, Ruyi stopped the pair of guards, and asked: "What's the matter, what happened in the front yard?" ”
"The whistle just sounded to warn it, and it was an order for the enemy to urgently assemble. It seems that there are Assassins in the front yard, and we are about to go to help. One of the guards said breathlessly.
"Do you know how many Assassins are coming? How many guards went to the front yard to support? ”
"I don't know how many assassins there were, but the guards on duty went to the front yard."
Ruyi was stunned in his heart, and faintly felt that something was wrong, and said: "Don't go to the front yard first, there are already hundreds of guards in the front yard, and it will be difficult for the assassin to succeed, and there are many women in the backyard, so don't be lazy, you stay in the backyard to prevent the assassins from sneaking up on the women in the backyard." ”
Several guards received orders and patrolled the backyard portal on the spot.
At this time, the lights in the backyard gradually turned on, and it was obvious that the ladies in the backyard had been awakened by the noise, and the elders who had little sleep had opened the door and walked out, asking Ruyi for the reason.
Ruyi couldn't answer, in order not to make them worry and fear, he said that there was a thief breaking in, and the prime minister's house was catching the thief, so let the elders go back to the room quickly, and they must not come out again, there is still danger.
As soon as he finished sending off his elders, Lu Xing had already yawned and rubbed his eyes and walked out, he was not yet an adult, so he naturally still lived in the backyard, and there was no courtyard to work alone.
"Why are you coming out, go back to the house and stay there, it's dangerous outside." Ruyi frowned.
"What's going on, so noisy?" Lu Xing opened his mouth and spoke with a big tongue.
Before Ruyi could speak, he heard two cries of pain around him, and two guards were hit by arrows one after another, one was shot in the shoulder and the other in the helmet. Countless arrows were shot from the courtyard wall, and there were forty or fifty of them, flying towards the crowd. If he saw that the arrows were coming in a hurry, he hurriedly protected Lu Xing behind him, danced his long sword into a wall, fought and retreated with a group of guards, and retreated straight to the corridor.
"Come in and hide, don't come out." Ruyi said to Lu Xing.
The assassin only injured two people under the surprise of everyone after a few rounds of arrow rain, and then the guards were on guard, using round shields to protect their bodies, and they also formed formations to defend each other, so they did not hurt everyone in the slightest.
After a frenzied attack in the middle of the night, the assassins finally became anxious, and appeared from the dark night, each holding a short knife, and formed a formation to attack Ruyi and the others, the number of which was seventy or eighty, far more than the number of guards.
Ruyi but her heart showed, she was afraid that the enemy would hide in the dark, and the enemy would suddenly use secret arrows, so that people could not be guarded, but as long as the enemy was willing to appear, it was hundreds of people who were afraid, she had already learned the Cao army battle array, and she had the experience of the enemy, and did not take the small moment to heart, and now she is guarded by the corridor, although there are only seven or eight guards to help each other, but the corridor is narrow, only allowing five or six people to go in parallel, and there are many people at the moment, but can not play the advantage of numbers.
The assassins rushed to attack the corridor, but in the narrow corridor, they were stabbed by the quick-eyed Ruyi at this moment, and only the assassins hesitated to step forward.
At this moment, there was no success, the formation suddenly changed, the assassin took the lead with three people, attracting the firepower of Ruyi and others, and the left and right two people went back slightly, attacking the two wings of the guards, forming an unequal force surface, so that Ruyi and a group of guards were in a hurry, if they only attacked the three people in front of them, but there were two wings to attack and disturb, and they wanted to attack both wings, but they suffered from the short knife in their hands was not long enough, if they stepped forward to meet the enemy, they would disrupt the defensive formation and be taken advantage of by the enemy.
The number of guards is not as large as the assassins, who dare to exchange their lives, and for every one killed or wounded, there will be one less defensive force, Ruyi can only strictly order the guards to keep their distance from the formation, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, as long as everyone forms a formation with each other to hold on, the assassins will not have a good way.
If you just want to break out of the encirclement, but these people don't pay attention to it, they will naturally be able to break through calmly. But the most important thing at the moment is to protect the safety of the women in the backyard and defend the corridor so that an assassin does not have a chance to enter the backyard, which makes Ruyi have scruples when he makes a move.
On the battlefield, she only needs to attack, enter the enemy formation, attack its defensive weaknesses, and penetrate every seam, which is the secret of her invincibility from the battle formation.
But now on defense, she didn't dare to selectively attack and avoid, so she could only try her best to withstand fierce attacks from all directions.
Even under Ruyi's fast sword, the three assassins who rushed forward were often killed or wounded, but there were a large number of assassins, and they could always be replenished in time. But in the face of the assassin's strange array attack, the few guards around Ruyi had already lost three people in the blink of an eye, and the remaining four were also injured all over their bodies, and they couldn't hold on for too long.
The Assassin offensive was still like a storm, with three Assassins rushing forward to attract firepower, and four on either side waiting for the opportunity to attack the two wings of the guards, they had already seen that although Ruyi's attack was fierce, there was only one person after all, and a few guards were the only link they had a chance to break through.
Ruyi and the others tried their best to resist, and the assassins were not very anxious, originally thinking that they were seventy or eighty people, and it must be easy to take down the female dependents in the backyard, but they didn't expect that only these few people in front of them would treat them as if they were not allowed to enter the courtyard, not only killed and injured more than half, but also spent a lot of time here, in case they waited for the frontyard guards to react and come to support, I was afraid that this mission would end here.
The ferocity of the guards was already expected by them, and everyone knew that the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion were all elite selections in the army, and their combat power was very strong. Therefore, the assassins here have also undergone special selection and training, and in terms of actual strength, I am afraid that any of them will not be under the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, a young woman was killed halfway, as agile as a rabbit, ruthless and ruthless, I don't know how much stronger than a group of guards, dozens of people were killed and injured, most of them were injured under her sword.
Seeing that there were only three guards left around Ruyi, the attack was more ferocious, and the three people in front of her attracted Ruyi to attack, so that she had no time to take care of anything else, and exchanged her life for a breakthrough on both wings.
It's just that this heroism, under their black clothes, in the originally quiet Xiangfu, after the unscrupulous beastliness, it looks particularly sad.
At the cost of sacrificing more than 20 people, the assassins finally exhausted the only three remaining guards around Ruyi, leaving only Ruyi alone, and there were still thirty or forty assassins in front of him.
The Assassins' formation was changing, and their purpose was not to waste time here, killing a few innocuous guards, they had come by order, and the only target was Lu Bu's only son, and as for the others, they were not the primary target of the Assassins.
Now that too much time has been delayed here, the assassin will naturally not waste time here, the woman in front of him is vigorous, it is not easy to take her down, maybe there is no way to take her even after consuming the lives of these dozens of guards.
Therefore, the assassins only surrounded Ruyi with a dozen people, and the rest wanted to break into the prime minister's mansion from the side of the corridor to assassinate.
Ruyi could not let them get their wish, only intercepting left and right in the corridor, the narrow corridor seemed to become extremely wide at this time, Ruyi ran left and right to intercept the assassins to break through, and for a while they were in a hurry, not only difficult to hurt the enemy, but were disrupted by the assassin's charge, and for a while they could only try their best to defend, retreating again and again.
Lu Xing stood at the end of the corridor, watching his sister Ruyi struggle to resist the assassin, if it weren't for the fear that the assassin would break through the net, how could she be so embarrassed, she couldn't help but hate herself, why not learn martial arts from a young age like her sister, protect the people around him who need protection, and now in the face of the crisis, as a man, he can only hide under the shadow of his sister, not to mention the slightest help, and will become a burden to his sister, and he regrets and chagrin for a while.
He made up his mind that after the assassins retreated today, he would work hard to train his body and practice martial arts, not to be able to fight like his sister, as long as he could protect the people around him, or at least not to become a burden to others.
Although the corridor is long, it can't withstand the crazy impact of the assassin, Ruyi has flipped and retreated, and is about to retreat to the edge of the corridor, suddenly seeing the assassin's expression excited, there is only a kind of joy that is about to be accomplished, Ruyi was shocked, and Yu Guang saw his younger brother Lu Xing not far behind him, and he couldn't help but be angry.
"What are you still doing here, do you want me to die before you?"
Ruyi's words cut gold and cut iron, Lu Xing heard it very clearly, just to say to him that if he wants to take his brother's life, he will step on her own body first.
Lu Xing didn't want to add worries to his sister, but as a man, how could he hide in the house, watching his sister being besieged by a group of wicked people, even if he didn't have the ability to come forward to help, he had to watch it with his own eyes, not let cowardice soak into the bone marrow, and let his sister know that he was with her.
At this time, hearing his sister's shouting, Lu Xing was in a dilemma for a while, retreating, against his own heart, he didn't want to be a coward. If you don't retreat, you can only add a burden to your sister, distract her, and disrupt her rhythm to meet the enemy.
Just as Lu Xing was hesitating, he suddenly saw a large group of guards rushing in, rushing in from the courtyard, completely cutting off the assassin's retreat and blocking the narrow corridor.
Mother Yan Xiuli followed closely, with a nervous and embarrassed look on her face, and only after seeing that Ruyi and Lu Xing were safe and sound, did she improve slightly.
"Kill or kill!" When the origin of the murderer was clearly known, there was no need to leave a living mouth, Yan Xiuli ordered.
The assassins were even more frantic when they were attacked on their backs, and they were all not afraid of death, and rushed straight to Lu Xing's place to kill, killing five or six people as they wished, but three or four people had already rushed by.
Ruyi was taken aback, and was eager to turn around to rescue Lu Xing, but was entangled by more than a dozen assassins, and couldn't get out of it for a while, so he could only fight to kill the four or five people in front of him before he freed up.
At this time, the three assassins had already killed Lu Xing, Lu Xing was like a fool, standing still and motionless, Ruyi could only watch, and the short knife in the assassin's hand slashed towards Lu Xing.
Yan Xiuli's grief of pain sounded behind her, as well as the frightened exclamations of the guards.
Ruyi didn't care about exclaiming, gritted his teeth and jumped forward, no matter what, even before the blade pierced the heart, if it could be stopped in time, it would be good, better than helpless sadness and sighs.
Ruyi was in the air, far from being able to reach Lu Xing's side, and watched the blade in the assassin's hand slash towards the top of Lu Xing's head, just about to stab into the hair and skin, but saw the Sanming assassin suddenly fall on his back, the short knife in his hand fell to the ground, and one or two crossbow arrows were in each chest, all of which entered the heart and lungs for a few inches, and he only lay on the ground and convulsed.
Lu Xing was still standing in place, holding a fan-shaped crossbow in his hand, which was the life-saving thing given to him by the master Huang Chengyan.
The fan-shaped crossbow design is fine-tuned, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows can be fan-loaded, pre-loaded, without arm strength, just pull the bracket, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows will fly forward in a fan shape, only because the range is short, and the killing is insufficient, and can not be used in actual combat.
However, in this hand-to-hand combat, the unprepared assassins were shot by the crossbow arrows that were close at hand, and there was no way to dodge them, although the crossbow arrows were small, they could cause lethal damage at such a close distance, and all three assassins were killed by a single blow, and none of them survived.
Looking at the pale-faced Lu Xing, Ruyi was full of relief for a while, his younger brother has finally grown up and is a man who can take responsibility.
As soon as Fang landed, he protected Lu Xing, who was standing still, behind him, and his long sword flew over, preventing the assassin from approaching half a point.
There were only a dozen assassins left, unable to take the front, and then surrounded by heavy troops, all of whom were determined to die, and they all used their bodies to hinder Ruyi's moves in exchange for the killing of their companions.
Before dying, an assassin held on to the Ruyi sword and kept the long sword in his body, so that Ruyi could only give up the long sword in his hand to protect himself.
Ruyi lost his blade, and in the face of the fierce assassins, he could only take Lu Xing to retreat and dodge, retreat to the door of the wing, Ruyi pushed Lu Xing into the room and guarded the door, and took off the short bow at his waist in the face of several assassins who were chasing and killing.
"Whoosh" fired three arrows in a row, because the distance was too close, and it was a three-bead burst, the assassin could not dodge at all, and the arrows pierced through the chest, injuring several of the latter, and immediately killed and injured five or six people.
The Assassins were flanked in front and back, leaving only two people blocked in the corridor by the guards and Ruyi.
The two assassins watched with their short knives in their backs and guarded, their eyes red and bloody, panting, knowing that there was no more chance of assassination.
A nightingale sounded, and the assassin suddenly seemed to have been summoned in some way, and his body was shaken.
"Long live the Great Han"
The two of them shouted, tragic and eye-catching. Each of them held a short knife and died by slashing his neck.
No one will feel sorry for their tragedy, because of them, the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion have also sacrificed several people, and countless people have been injured, even if they don't commit suicide and resist to the end, there is only a dead end waiting for them.
Ruyi watched her mother Yan Xiuli walk from the corridor with the guards, and a kind of joy arose, just like a wronged child who wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms.
A little light, from far and near, from outside the courtyard.
"Mother, be careful!"
Ruyi rushed in front of his mother in a few steps, blocking her behind, but someone was already one step faster than him, waiting where the light went.
A cry of pain, another cry of pain.
The long arrow pierced Yan Chao's shoulder blade, and the remaining momentum was not stopped, and it hit Ruyi's chest.
Fortunately, the momentum of the arrow was blocked by Yan Chao, and the arrow hit Ruyi's inner armor, and she couldn't move in an inch, but it also made her cry out in pain.
The guards densely surrounded Yan Xiuli's mother and daughter in the center, lest any more arrows be fired.
Yan Xiuli leaned over to investigate Yan Chao's injury, only to see that the puncture wound was shocking, and the blood flowed from the wound, Yan Xiuli who only watched was frightened, but Yan Chao was not panicked, and said with gritted teeth: "I didn't hurt my internal organs, don't worry, please Miss Madame go back to the house quickly, I will let people check the remnants of the assassins." ”
Ruyi was rescued by Yan Chao twice, if he hadn't blocked him in front of him this time, he might have suffered, and he couldn't help but be moved.
"Brother is good to live and recuperate, so leave the fish that slipped through the net to me."
Although Yan Xiuli was not at ease, there was no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion who was more suitable to lead the guards than her, so she was only told to be careful.
He temporarily carried Yan Chao into Lu Xing's room and asked the government doctor to stop the bleeding and bandage.
This dangerous situation almost allowed the assassin to succeed, and the emperor's intention to break and seize power was clearly revealed.
Yan Xiuli couldn't bear it, no one could challenge her ground, hurting her children was far more angry than hurting herself.
Immediately, Yan Xiuli ordered Gao Shun, the governor of Jizhou, and Zhang Liao, the former general, to lead troops back to King Qin, Anyi.
