Chapter 4: The Power Can Return to the Heavenly Forbidden Bell (II)

[I didn't update it in the morning, I'm sorry everyone.] There are two more watches, so let's watch them tomorrow morning. 】

There was a soft thud.

A short wooden feather arrow that was no longer than a foot flew forward, leaving only a trace of afterimage under Han Gang's eyes, and pierced into the feet of Zhang Dian squarely, nailed deep into the crack of the stone.

Han Gang's back was covered with white sweat, and when he looked at Zhang Dian again, his face was also pale.

When the crossbowman hiding in the crowd was hit, he just deducted his teeth, but he could have hit Zhang Shouyue's or Guo Kui's crossbow arrows, but he ate the collision and flew to Zhang Dun's feet. If the cluster of arrows on the bow of the divine arm at that time had been raised by an inch and flew up to the steps, it would have been in the heart of Zhang Dan.

Han Gang took a deep breath and calmed down his wavering emotions, "When will the palace give the heavy crossbow to Tibet!?" ”

How big is the imperial city, if you stand on the wall of the imperial city with a divine arm bow, maybe you can fly to Funing Palace with one arrow. If the target is the two provinces near the walls on the southwest side, it will be no problem to target which prime minister.

It's not like there have never been traitors among the guards, who would dare to hand over long-range weapons to them? Ordinary guards of the imperial city do not use bows and crossbows. Even if the dragon crossbow is straight, the dragon bow and arrow is straight, the arrow recruitment class, the crossbowman class, the class straights have bows and crossbows in their hands, but there are only three or five arrows in their quivers, and they are all decorations.

"I'm afraid that the people in the palace will run out, it's more convenient to hold a bow and crossbow than to hold a sword." Zhang Dan's expression was cold and hard, "Shi Deyi is really thoughtful in his preparation. ”

The bows and crossbows in the hands of the Imperial City Division have already begun to shoot, and they are all aimed at Zhang Shouyue and Guo Kui. Even if you don't know the art of war, you still know the truth that the thief captures the king first.

But in the midst of the crowd, the crossbowmen's shooting was disrupted. Shi Deyi's incompetence in the command of the military formation made it impossible to give full play to the advantages of the rebels of the Imperial City Division. Only half of them could be aimed at the target, but even if they shot accurately, they only hit Ban Zhi, who was blocking Guo and Zhang.

But most of the Ban Zhi were frightened by the close proximity of the Divine Arm Bow, and they involuntarily began to retreat, so that the front line was suddenly full of holes.

"Thankfully, there won't be many!"

The Imperial City Division secretly hid the Divine Arm Bow, and once it was verified, Shi Deyi could not escape the charge, and it was a felony of plotting against him. In the past, there was no need for him to do such stupid things, and he would not have given such a big handle to the enemies in the palace. Shi Deyi's search for the Divine Arm Bow must have been after deciding to rebel. And its purpose, as Zhang Dian said, is more to prevent the blockade of the imperial city, someone sneaks out of the palace to inform the other Zaifu - a bow, a crossbow, the range that can be controlled is much larger than a knife and a gun.

Such a hasty collection must not be in large quantities, and now it is a hasty arrival after inquiry, and it is impossible to bring the crossbows scattered throughout the imperial city together. It's just that there are as few as twenty or thirty sheets.

This was not Han Gang's speculation, but he saw with his own eyes that the main force of the rebels of the Imperial City Division who was dragging behind had already caught up, Han Gang only glanced at it, and found five or six bows and two heavy crossbows in it. It is speculated that there are twenty or thirty in total, which is already counted in a small amount.

But Zhang Shouyue had no scruples under the threat of crossbow arrows, kicking the buttocks of several cowering Ban Zhi, while scolding unceremoniously. He was not wearing armor, but he was more contemptuous of the long arrows that flew from him than the armor-covered Ban Zhi.

"It's okay! It's just the Imperial City Division. ”

Zhang Dian stared closely at the battle situation under the steps, like Han Gang, he knew the danger of stray arrows, but he did not avoid shaking the morale of the army, so he did not retreat half a step.

"Of course!" Han Gang said with certainty.

As long as Guo Kui and Zhang Shouyue don't have an accident, what can they do with a bow and crossbow that can only shoot once or twice with only twenty or thirty handles?

Shi Deyi and a group of city gate soldiers can really beat Ban Zhi under the command of Guo Kui and Zhang Shouyue?

Although the Divine Arm Bow is strong, there is also heavy armor here. In other respects, the side of the Imperial City Division is much worse.

"There won't be many crossbows for thieves! With the old man and Guo Shumi here, they won't be aiming at you...... You don't deserve it! It's just that the shot is still blocked by armor! Rush over and make them unable to! Do you want to guard the temple gate for the rest of your life?! ”

Zhang Shouyue kicked and scolded, "The old man has never seen a waste like you in the west!" If you have merit, you have to put it, you have to hide if you have officials, and you don't know how to pick it up when the cake falls from the sky, and the festival ~ degree ~ make ~ ah! Yang Ming, Zheng Wan, do you want to regret it for the rest of your life in the future! ”

Under the scolding of the veteran, the swords and bones in the hands of the Ban Zhi finally overcame their fear and began to play their role again.

Under the command of Zhang Shouyue, several officers in the squad direct guard took the lead, and they counterattacked two times in a row, slashing and wounding the rebels in the front row, and pressed the battle line back.

A military general who did not wear armor was one of the generals who had just come out with Guo Kui and Zhang Shouyu, and now he came out of nowhere, took off the official robe that was in the way, rushed to the front, holding a bone in one hand, and smashed it when he saw someone. Its courage is outstanding, and there is no one in the rebel army, and his hands are hammered down, blood is splashed, and screams are endless.

Led by him, several squad straightened up, slashing the enemy away like sharp blades, heading straight for Shideyi.

The crossbowmen in the rebel army were messed up, and Shi Deyi was also offering a reward for the official, scolding and scolding, but he didn't know how to command at all. His crossbowmen were still shooting, but Shi Deyi didn't tell them whether they should continue to aim at Zhang Shouyue and Guo Kui, or shoot Ban Zhi, who had already killed in front of him.

But accidents always happen after peace of mind. The crossbow aimed at Zhang Shouyue and Guo Kui was more than half as before, but a long arrow passed through several layers of iron armor in front of him and hit Zhang Shouyue's chest.

Zhang Shouyue's fall made the rebels cheer, Shi Deyi was even more excited, raised his arms and shouted, the counterattack suddenly became fierce, and several people who attacked the enemy formation suddenly fell into a heavy encirclement.

Han Gang's face changed suddenly, "Brother Zihou, you go back to Li Xinlai first." ”

Without waiting for Zhang Dun to respond, he had to go down the steps.

Zhang Dian grabbed Han Gang: "Yukun, and Guo Zhongtong!" Zhang Shouyue is still there! ”

Han Gang hesitated to stop, only to see the veteran clutching his chest, trying to stand firm in front of the enemy, pursing his mouth, and not exposing the pain to anyone at all.

Guo Kui snatched a knife from Ban Zhi's hand beside him, and with a wave of his hand, he slashed through the neck of one of the fastest-retreating guards.

Carrying a blood-stained knife, amid the screams of the guard, he shouted coldly: "Guo Kui is here, whoever dares to cross this step, behead!" The team is retreating, the team is retreating, the head is retreating, and Guo Kui is retreating, and Guo Kui is killed! Let's see if you are trying Guo Kui's military law, or do you go forward to win a wife and a shadow?! ”

Guo Kui's face was gloomy, and his decades of prestige in the army were so overwhelming that no one dared to take a step back.

The guards howled and pushed back.

took over Zhang Shouyue's command, which was completely different from Zhang Shouyue's command style, but Guo Kui also stabilized the army's morale and battle line.

The army's heart must be certain, and under the command of Guo Kui, Ban Zhi immediately pressed back, forcing the thief army to retreat step by step. The general and several squad straights who were surrounded by the enemy army did not retreat but advanced, and went straight to the rear of the enemy formation. A dozen crossbowmen, who had just been reorganized by the rebels, rushed them apart.

"Well killed!" Zhang Duan shouted.

From a general commanding thousands of troops and horses, to being a capital again, Zhang Shouyue and Guo Kui are obviously very uncomfortable, and even have a reputation. But no matter how bad the performance is, compared to the grasp of the timing, the mastery of the battle situation is still far above Shi Deyi.

Although the attack of the Imperial City Division was fierce, it was only a brute force, Zhang Shouyue's injury was like pouring a scoop of oil on the fire, but Guo Kui's shot was a puff of sand, which directly suppressed the fire.

The rebels' positions gradually dispersed, and Shi Deyi shouted frantically, unable to control the chaos under his command.

"The big picture is decided." Han Gang said to Zhang Dan.

"Let go! You let it go! ”

A chicken-like scream came from behind. Han Gang and Zhang Dian looked back.

Several generals escorted Zhao Hao out of the hall, followed by Wang Hou, holding a halberd in his hand.

Half of Zhao Hao's face was swollen, and the corners of his lips were bloody, obviously when he caught him, he didn't save any face for His Royal Highness the Prince.

On the other side, on the halberd in Wang Hou's hand, a set of clothes was raised high. The purple robe and gold belt goldfish bag, as well as the long-legged head, that is the costume of the prime minister.

Zhao Hao was forcibly escorted on the steps and appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Dian pointed to Zhao Hao's face and shouted, "Cai is indeed dead." King Qi has been captured. Why don't you descend quickly?! ”

It was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Looking at the two kings who have become prisoners, and seeing the prime minister's dress, their own defeat has been achieved, who still has the heart to fight again?

Under the onslaught of the morale-boosting Ban Zhi, the rebels of the Imperial City Division could not support it, the formation collapsed, and hundreds of people scattered and fled. And Shi Deyi, who was tempting, was chased behind by dozens of squads.

In the square in front of the Daqing Palace, one chased and one fled. The distance between the two sides is getting closer, and it will soon be time to catch up.

The cronies who followed Shi Deyi to escape stabbed Shi Deyi in the waist, raised his waist knife, and shouted: "I killed Shi Deyi." ”

But before he could say anything, he was chopped to the ground by the pursuers.

Dozens of guards swarmed up, and Shi De, who had not yet breathed, was slashed wildly by a knife, and in the blink of an eye, it became a puddle of flesh.

Han Gang saw all this clearly in the back, and felt that it was like a farce at the end. But it's a farce, and now it's over.

"I forgot to ask what he was rebelling for." He sighed.

"What's the good of asking more?" Zhang Dian asked Han Gang rhetorically.

I really can't ask more. It's not easy to let him bite too many people.

But Han Gang always had one thing in his heart, Cai did always love speculation, but this time, it was too decisive.

Cai did work with Zeng Bu to persuade the Queen Mother to abolish the matter in order to reassure the people, but the Queen Mother sternly refused. Shi Deyi must be unwilling to be lonely in it. ”

"What? Why haven't I heard this news?! ”

"This is going to ask Yukun yourself, why don't you know the way?"
