Chapter 51: The Second Assassination
Chapter 51: The Second Assassination
When the Great Qin warrior appeared, it was indeed extraordinary, just the shining muscles after being smeared with olive oil made the Han men and women present fall for themselves.
In terms of appearance, it is more than a grade higher than the gorilla-like poisonous warrior Charba.
The red helmet like a cockscomb, a round shield with a diameter of half a meter, a short spear less than a zhang long, and a short sword at the waist, and flat shoes woven from cowhide firmly attracted people's attention.
Facing the ten-foot-tall poisonous giant, the king of the gladiatorial arena had no fear, and approached the giant step by step.
Yun Lang's eyes flickered a little, he was a little uneasy, and after looking around, he didn't find the source of his uneasiness.
So, he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a little frightened, why don't you take these two people back to Jianzhang Palace to see it again." ”
Liu Che looked back at Yun Lang and said contemptuously: "Are you, a fierce general on the battlefield, also afraid of blood?" ”
After speaking, he still turned his head and looked at the battle that was about to start with relish.
Cao Xiang originally looked at it seriously, but after listening to Yun Lang's words, he immediately hid half of his body behind Zhong Liyuan, who was standing beside him and waiting for the emperor to summon him at any time.
His eyes began to look around, no longer looking at the gladiators in the arena.
The giant's mace smashed against the round shield with a deafening roar, and the two people in the field, one turned into a hammer, and the other seemed to become an anvil, showing their courage in the most primitive way.
The people outside the venue cheered loudly, and their voices rose to the sky, Yun Lang couldn't sit still, stood up, stood up in front of Liu Che, looked around vigilantly, and ignored Liu Che's unpleasant laughter and scolding, and ordered Zhao Chong to strengthen his vigilance.
The first round of the two gladiators in the arena was over, and the two slowly separated, ready to start the second round of fighting.
Yun Lang stood in front of Liu Che extremely rudely, but Liu Che didn't seem to be so angry, leaning on his big chair and watching Yun Lang's every move with interest.
"Please return to the palace, Your Majesty!"
Yun Lang's uneasy feeling became more and more intense, and he felt like a white rabbit under the hunter's gun at this time.
Liu Che saw that Yun Lang's face was gloomy, and nodded slowly: "Quasi-play!" Come on, drive back to the palace! ”
Zhao Chong stepped forward to receive the order and glared at Yun Lang dissatisfied.
Hearing that Liu Che was about to return to the palace, Yun Lang let out a slow breath, and was about to confess to the emperor, when a slight sound of the crossbow machine snapping penetrated the cheers of the people and drilled into Yun Lang's ears.
A sharp weapon in the army, Yun Lang likes to use the eight-bull crossbow the most, and he has also been bombarded by the eight-bull crossbow, and he is the most sensitive to the sound of this thing.
He casually pulled Zhao Chong in front of him, and his body fell backwards with all his might, knocking over Liu Che, who had just gotten up.
Before his body fell to the ground, Yun Lang saw a thick duck-billed crossbow spear piercing through Zhao Chong's chest, grazing over his head and flying backwards.
There will never be only one arrow from the Eight Bull Crossbow, just when Yun Lang was desperate, his body was kicked out and left the danger zone, and in the process of sliding, he looked desperately in the direction where Liu Che was, only to find that Liu Che was rolling in another direction.
Liu Che's seat was torn apart by three crossbow arrows that flew later, and pieces of wood and gravel were scattered everywhere, hitting his face in pain.
Zhong Liyuan flew over from Yun Lang's body to rescue Liu Che, who was in danger, and Cao Xiang, who was completely exposed, collapsed on the chair, only knowing the shouts of 'ah, ah'.
Yun Lang once again knocked down Cao Xiang, and after rolling twice with his fat body, he smashed through the carved wooden fence on the side of the box and fell off the platform.
Leaning his body tightly on the inside of the platform, holding his head and trembling...... According to the Han military system, after the crossbow gun breaks the enemy, it should be covered with a rain of arrows, which is the standard procedure.
Sure enough, Yun Lang's familiar whistling sound of arrow rain sounded overhead, and then there was the sound of dense rain hitting plantains......
Looking at the feather arrows stuck on the platform beside him, Yun Lang's heart was like ashes, his own side was definitely not the main target of the assassin's assassination, the emperor's side was!
There was a burst of warmth in his calves, and Yun Lang looked at Cao Xiang, who was coming down with tears and snot, and sighed, this bastard was scared to pee.
At this time, he didn't care about this, and after three waves of arrow rain in a row, Yun Lang quietly poked his head out, and after the arrow rain, it was time for the army to charge.
The box where the emperor was just now had been torn into ruins by the crossbow gun, and the emperor's whereabouts were not seen, and the eunuchs and palace ladies who were shot by the rain of arrows were all over the ground.
Yun Lang pulled out a sword from the waist of a dead guard, trembling his legs and barely standing up, trying to take a step, but found Cao Xiang holding one of his legs tightly.
"We ...... More importantly...... Run! ”
Yun Lang immediately squatted down, and tried hard to help Cao Xiang up, "Can you go?" ”
"No, my legs are so weak."
Yun Lang simply leaned down and carried Cao Xiang on his back, walked down the box quickly, and was ready to get into the panicked crowd.
Before entering the panicked crowd, Yun Lang was shocked to find that a ten-foot-tall giant was wielding a mace to drive a bloody path through the crowd, heading in the direction where the emperor had just been.
On the other side, a Great Qin warrior with glistening skin was fighting two golden-armored warriors, and more gold-armored warriors fell beside him.
"Your Majesty is finished......"
Cao Xiang said in a trembling voice on Yun Lang's back.
"He didn't allow our generals to come in, but he allowed the Assassins to come in with their crossbows...... Alang, I will never be separated from my generals in the future! ”
After Cao Xiang is frightened, he generally only has one mouth left to move freely, and most of the remaining functions of his body will be lost.
Yun Langcai got into the crowd, and rushed out again surrounded by the crowd, and he didn't know which bastard roared, "Protect Your Majesty!" "The crowd went from fleeing to attacking in an instant.
And Yun Lang, who was carrying Cao Xiang on his back, was suddenly pushed to the front by the crowd......
The Han people have never been timid, especially now when they are rare in 10,000 years to make meritorious contributions, which makes them bold to the extreme.
Although the gladiators were ferocious, these people were just a group of playthings in the eyes of the Han people, and they usually sat in the stands to watch these slaves fight, and the stands brought them a false sense of security and made them more fearless.
Pinching the broken legs of the chair, he dared to attack the gladiators.
There were too many people, Cao Xiang's courage returned, slipped off Yun Lang's back, and loudly called the people to attack the rebels, while holding Yun Lang's back neck collar and not allowing him to move forward bravely.
There were so many people who wanted to make meritorious contributions that even some brave women blended into the crowd, screaming and attacking the gladiators who had formed a battle formation.
The giant's mace smashed into the crowd with the smell of blood, and when it was pulled out, the mace was full of flesh and blood, and there were brave people, who actually hugged the mace, and soon were thrown away by the giant, and when his mace was still again, more people would rush up to hold the mace, and soon, the giant who did not know that he had abandoned the mace was overwhelmed by the crowd, and he could only hear his furious roar.
The most severely injured by the sudden assassination were the guards brought by the emperor, and it stands to reason that after the emperor entered the gladiatorial arena, the guards here should be taken over by Zhao Chong.
In particular, the high walls of the gladiatorial arena should be full of guards, but as far as Yun Lang could see, there were only some ape-like agile gladiators on the wall who were fighting with the emperor's guards outside the wall.
The guards who were supposed to protect the emperor were long dead.
At this moment, the four gates of the gladiatorial arena were all closed, and the huge gladiatorial arena became a closed fortress, and the emperor became a fish in a net.
Fortunately, only the gladiators rebelled, and their number was small, and if the emperor dodged those three arrows, he should have the strength to fight.
It wasn't until Yun Lang saw Zhou Hong, who was wearing armor and shouting endlessly among the gladiators, that he was immediately very pessimistic about whether the emperor could leave home alive in the gladiatorial arena.
"Zhou Hong, you traitor who kills the king!"
Yun Lang roared loudly and commanded the few golden-armored warriors around him to charge at Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong, who was in the crowd, laughed loudly and said: "Yunlang, the emperor has no way, we will punish him together." ”
Yun Lang ignored the trap in Zhou Hong's words, and shouted: "Kill the traitor Zhou Hong, the marquis of Jueguan, and the reward will be ten thousand gold!" ”
Cao Xiang followed and shouted: "No matter who kills any traitor, a head is a thousand gold!" Come on! ”
Zhou Hong shouted frantically: "Kill the faint king, reward ten thousand gold!" ”
Hearing Zhou Hong shout like this, Cao Xiang sneered and said to Yun Lang: "There is more money than us, and he will lose." ”
After speaking, he took out a large handful of beads from his arms and threw them into the distance, Zhou Hong, who shouted again: "Yes, yes, give it now!" ”
Changes on the battlefield are often in an instant, Zhou Hong was dragged by Yun Lang and Cao Xiang for a moment, and the people who wanted to compete for credit had unconsciously separated the gold-armored warriors from the gladiators.
At this time, Zhou Hong had no chance, and it was already difficult to attack the emperor's location through the crowd.
Yun Lang soon discovered that Jin Ilyan led a small number of gold-armored warriors to launch a counterattack with the people.
