Chapter 35: The Scarlet Night (6)
"Knock this door open for me!"
As soon as Guo Qi's words fell, dozens of rebels held shields to cover their comrades-in-arms, holding a three-zhang tree with a diameter of about one foot, and rushed out towards the bronze gate of the high-walled mansion in front of them. But as soon as the soldiers rushed out, behind the high wall, several rounds of arrows were fired in volleys. The arrows were so dense that even if the rebels were covered by shields, more than a dozen people still fell to the ground with arrows.
However, this is only a few dozen steps away, and the living rebels still slammed into the bronze gate with the bumping wood.
"Boom!"
There was a loud bang, like thunder on the ground, and the entire copper door shook violently, a large number of sawdust and sand fell, and the plaque on the door fell directly and smashed into the chaos below. Seeing that the gate had not been knocked open, the rebels quickly began a second impact, and although the gate was strong, it could not withstand such a violent impact a few times.
Finally, after the fourth impact, the gate fell backwards heavily, smashing up a cloud of dust in the night, and as the gate opened, hundreds of rebels swarmed in. However, in the courtyard inside the gate, hundreds of armorers wearing fine armor and holding shields and bows were already waiting in formation, and when they saw the influx of chaotic soldiers, the pikemen advanced in unison under the cover of the shield soldiers.
"Kill me!"
Seeing the excellent armor in front of him, after shouting, the rebels raised their weapons and rushed forward, and soon the two troops were strangled together, and there were soldiers in armor on the ground who continued to fall, some rebels, and some elite armor soldiers in the courtyard.
In order not to repeat the mistakes of the palace, Guo Qi ordered to surround the Jiedu Envoy's mansion in front of him as soon as possible, in order to prevent the people in the palace from escaping, but he still underestimated Chen Jingxuan's personal soldiers who had only been formed for half a year, although there were few people, but with their excellent equipment, they still blocked his attack.
Guo Qi's face was a little lacking in confidence at this time, and if he didn't kill Tian Lingzi and control the emperor as soon as possible, the situation would be unfavorable to him. Although he ordered his troops to loot the shops in the city in order to delay the arrival of the counterinsurgency troops, he had just received news that the palace had been recaptured, and that the men he had left behind in the palace had been slaughtered, and that the army was heading in this direction.
However, he still has a chance, that is, to capture the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion as soon as possible, kill those generals in the palace, and control the emperor, so that he can get great power and enjoy the glory and wealth of not playing. Since he chose this path, he had no choice but to go all the way to the black, becoming a king and defeating a villain.
Just as the battle in the front courtyard was raging, chaos arose behind him.
"What's going on?"
"Report, there is an army attacking the rear of our army, it's a tooth soldier!"
Hearing that it was the tooth soldier, Guo Qi's face changed slightly, he thought that the relationship between the tooth soldier and Chen Jingxuan was not harmonious, and the general of the tooth soldier was not in the camp, so he should not care about this matter, but he didn't expect the tooth soldier to appear now.
He is no stranger to tooth soldiers. The army in the city, he didn't worry about the Yellow Head Army, because he was also a member of the Yellow Head Army, and many people would not necessarily intervene, so he was worried about the tooth soldiers and the Jiedu envoy in the courtyard in front of him, but he didn't expect him to meet them at the same time now.
"Can't drag it out, bring me my knife!"
"Lao Guo, you're not in good health, I'll go!" After speaking, a figure rushed out of the side, and then rushed into the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion in front of him with hundreds of people.
。。。。。。
"Li Congming, it's still too late for you to put down your weapons now, don't follow Guo Qi all the way to the dark!"
'Zheng! A sound came, and after Li Ling, who was holding Ma Shuo, repelled the rebellious generals in front of him, he roared loudly.
The strength from that Changshuo made Li Congming's hands tremble slightly, looking at the boss in front of him, he did not show timidity, but persuaded the other party, "Lord Duwei, it's not that we have to do this, the thieves are bullying people too much, and we are all forced." As long as Lord Du Wei is willing to take the lead in killing the field thief, he will definitely persuade Guo Jun's envoy to respect you, and then discuss the plan. ”
Li Xuan's beard trembled, and he scolded angrily, "Li Congming, if you want to be obsessed again, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings." ”
"Lord Commander, I have long wanted to ask Lord Commander for a few tricks."
"Good! Then don't blame me for being rude! ”
Li Ling had never been so angry, and he waved the horse Shuo in his hand and stabbed out. The battle between the two was fierce, and the surrounding soldiers did not mean to participate, but made room for the two. The two fought wonderfully, but Li Yi in the backyard was very anxious.
"Chen Qing, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Do you want to see me die here? ”
Chen Jingxuan suddenly sweated like rain, and at the same time saw Tian Lingzi's dissatisfied eyes, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, it will take time for reinforcements to arrive." ”
"Time? That's what you said before, but what about the reinforcements? The rebels have invaded Fuchu, how long do you want to wait? ”
"This...
Chen Jingxuan wanted to explain that his palace was safer than the palace, his own soldiers were more effective than those forbidden troops, and they were well-equipped, although the rebels attacked the palace, but they were currently blocked in the front yard. And he has already sent his cronies and several other generals to mobilize troops, and their side will definitely hold out until reinforcements arrive. But Li Yi couldn't listen to it at all now, thinking that Li Yi was angry at this time, and Chen Jingxuan was also afraid of touching his head, so he thought of a way to stay away from this place.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister personally went to the front yard to supervise the battle, and he will definitely ensure His Majesty's safety."
"Humph!" Li Yi waved his sleeves and vented his dissatisfaction.
Chen Jingxuan was suddenly a little embarrassed, so he could only retreat quickly. When I came to the front yard, the ground was full of corpses, and the total number of people on both sides of the entire front yard was less than 500. The same shouts of killing on the street outside the mansion came one after another, and it seemed that the battle was more fierce than the battle in the mansion, and Chen Jingxuan was immediately overjoyed, which meant that the reinforcements had arrived.
can see the battle between Li Ling and Li Congming in the front yard, Chen Jingxuan suddenly disliked, this Li Ling, at this time, is still in the ink, don't end the battle as soon as possible, I don't know if the saint is already dissatisfied?
Immediately, Chen Jingxuan took a bow from the hand of the soldier on the side, set up an arrow, and aimed it at Li Congming's throat.
Li Congming, who was fighting with his former boss, suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air, and a powerful arrow shot like lightning. He instinctively swung his weapon to block the arrow, but the arrow dodged his weapon and landed on his shoulder socket. He only felt a sharp pain that pierced his heart coming, and then Li Ling, who seized this opportunity, raised the Changshuo thorn.
Li Congming raised his weapon to block it, but the weapon stopped as soon as it was raised in the air. He lowered his head reluctantly, seeing that his chest had been pierced, and then let out a scream that resounded through the night sky. As Li Ling took back Changshuo, Li Congming fell straight down.
And Guo Qi outside the mansion also heard this voice, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
"Lord Envoy, let's withdraw, the reinforcements on the opposite side have arrived, and if we continue to fight, we will all die here." A lieutenant next to him persuaded.
"Withdraw!"
Looking at the subordinates who were constantly falling around him, and the sound of the battle in the mansion weakened by Jiedu, coupled with the familiar scream just now, Guo Qi could also guess the situation inside. Gritting his teeth, he gave the order to retreat. Not a retreat, to be precise, but a breakthrough outside the city.
While there is still chaos in the city, they can still take the opportunity to get out of the city, and if they delay for a while, it will be impossible for them to get out of the city. And if they stay in the city, they will end badly.
As Guo Qi ordered the retreat, the rebels only knew how to escape, and the resistance plummeted, retreating well, which directly evolved into a rout, while the counterinsurgency army took the opportunity to pursue and expand the results.
In the front yard, seeing the sharp arrow on Li Congming's shoulder, Li Ling's expression was mixed, and his gaze at Chen Jingxuan was also a little dissatisfied. Catching up with Li Ling's gaze, Chen Jingxuan was slightly contemptuous, "Captain Li, this commander is helping you kill the enemy as soon as possible, are you still thinking about the old love?" ”
"Don't dare!" Li Ling lowered his head helplessly.
"Don't dare to be the best!" Chen Jingxuan snorted coldly.
As soon as Li Congming died, and Guo Qi retreated outside, the chaotic soldiers in the front yard were suddenly leaderless, and under the attack of Chen Jingxuan's personal soldiers, they scattered and fled, but most of them were killed. Just when Chen Jingxuan was about to commend the reinforcements of the troops, but when he saw Li Ye entering the mansion under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, he suddenly felt like eating a fly, and his face was very complicated.
