The seventieth chapter of the fourth volume of the opening of the emperor's prosperity has been decided
Qianxian county in the Yellow Emperor called Haozhi, for the place of worshipping the sky, at the beginning of the emperor, Qianxian belongs to one of the lower counties, the county households are not more than thousand, the people are not more than 10,000, the city wall is all made of loess, there is not even a brick, the height is not more than a zhang, the urban area is very narrow, a person can speak loudly from the east city to the west city.
Since the construction of Renshou Palace, Qianxian County has become a transit station between Renshou Palace and Daxing City, the county has developed rapidly, now ten years have passed, Qianxian County is no longer the poor appearance of the past, the urban area has been expanded several times, the county inns and restaurants are lined up, and it is not uncommon for pedestrians to step on the street. The number of households in the county has exceeded 4,000, and it has risen to the middle county, which is not the same as ten years ago.
However, the development of Qianxian County does not mean that the defense has also been improved, the county seat of Qianxian County has been expanded again and again, the original earthen wall has been demolished, the new brick wall has not been completed, and the height of the city wall is not as good as the previous earthen wall, which is also the reason why the confidence of Huangfu Xiaohuan, Murong Qi Li and others has not been lost.
However, if they saw the scene outside the Qianxian gate now, they would have to be frightened and scattered, and 4,000 officers and men of the forbidden army stood outside the Qianxian gate in a neat queue. The 4,000 Praetorian guards occupied almost all the open space, and at a glance, the swords and guns were like a forest, and the flags were flying, and the killing aura emitted by the 4,000 Praetorian Guards was enough to make the hearts and galls of the faint of heart and guts cracked.
Although there is still a period of time before it is completely dark, however, the entire county has been silent, the city has already issued a ban, only the officials are left to patrol the streets, and on the upper floor of Qianxian County, a group of people are clustered around the current prince, looking into the distance, the person next to the Mai Tie Staff is naturally the prince's stand-in, since he knows that someone will ambush, even if Yang Yong himself is willing to be this bait, no one dares to agree.
The distance of ten miles is not far for a cavalry, let alone when fleeing for their lives. Less than half an hour after Mai Tiezhu and the others were dispatched, dust and smoke could already be seen billowing in the distance, and He Ruobi pointed with his hand. Said: "Your Highness." They're coming. ”
At this time, the sun was about to go down, and the sky and earth were left with only a piece of afterglow, and in half an hour the sky would be completely dark, and the smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, and soon the figure could be seen clearly, although it was already known that there were many private soldiers who wanted to ambush the prince, but the scene of the pursuit below still surprised everyone upstairs. The people in black armor at the front are undoubtedly the guards of the East Palace, and behind them is a group of black chasers, who can't see the end from the beginning to the end, as if they are boundless.
The guards of the East Palace have always been known for their elite, and they pay attention to the fact that Mount Tai does not change color in front of them, but at this time, they do not see the slightest bit of elite, they pull into a straight line on the official road, and desperately beat their horses and gallop. As long as they fall behind a little, they will be overwhelmed by the crowd behind, and the more than 200 guards who lured the enemy may not be able to reach 200 now.
Mai Tiezhu and the others originally thought that this time was just to lure the enemy, and the task was extremely easy, but the truth was the same at the beginning. The guards of the East Palace only had one foot into the ambush circle of the other party, and just made a look of wanting to return, the other party couldn't wait to dispatch, although the guards suffered a little arrow rain, and the casualties were slight, they turned the horse's head, and they only needed to spread the horse's hooves and run back to Qianxian County. I didn't expect the speed of the enemy's cavalry to be so fast. Some guards are also afraid that the other party will see through their own plan to lure the enemy, and consider whether to engage the other party for a while. The enemy had already rushed down, and the slightly slower guards were overwhelmed by the ant-like enemy.
Next, all the earthlings could only flee frantically, and the war horses they rode were all Turkic horses that were one in a hundred, but the war horses ridden by the Murong ghost army that caught up were not inferior at all, and they had no pity for the war horses as if they were crazy, so that as long as the East Palace guards who hesitated a little were caught up by the ghost army of the Murong family, they were immediately cut off their horses and stepped into meat paste.
This short ten-mile road is so cruel, as long as you take a step slower, there is no room for life at all, seeing the city wall in front, the East Palace guards puffed up Yu Yong, and they fought desperately, and rushed into the gap left by the forbidden army in one breath before they dared to slow down.
Because of the smoke and dust, although the pursuers behind saw the city wall, they did not see the officials and soldiers under the city, just when they were worried that the prince rushed into the city, they saw that the speed of the East Palace guards in front seemed to slow down, and their hearts were ecstatic, and they desperately urged the horses.
"Archer, prepare!"
With a bang, a thousand archers bent their bows and arrows, half-crouched on the ground.
"Put!"
"Buzz." With a loud bang, a thousand bowstrings trembled at the same time, and the dense arrows completely obscured the last bit of sunset.
"What sound?" The Murong Ghost Army, which was at the forefront of the pursuit, couldn't help but raise its head, and when it saw the locust-like arrows flying towards them, they were immediately frightened, and they pulled the reins and wanted to turn their horses back. The sound of the warhorses sounded, followed by chaos.
It's a pity that it was too late, and the rain of arrows fell, "Porphyry, porphyry, porphy." The sound of the ground sounded everywhere, and the official road in front of it suddenly turned into a field of arrows, both men and horses were full of arrows, and the corpses fell to the ground.
"Rush over! Rush over! ”
The ghost army of the Murong family was not an elite dead soldier, but instead of defeating them, this unexpected blow aroused their anger, and they rushed forward desperately, many people had seen clearly that there were at least thousands of officers and soldiers under the city, but they had no intention of retreating.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Whew! Shout! Shout! The second round of arrow rain fell, and there was another burst of people on their backs, and there was anger in the eyes of Murong Ghost Army, trying to bend their bodies as much as possible, avoiding the rain of arrows, they silently counted the time, and rushed over, as long as they rushed over, they could cut off the heads of those archers to their heart's content.
"Archer, back off!"
With a bang, the archers in front hurriedly shrank back and gave up their positions, showing a forest of guns in front of them, and when this forest of guns appeared, it was too late for the ghost army to collect the horses, so they could only watch the war horses crash towards the sharp tips of the spears with themselves.
"No!" The ghost army in front shouted loudly, desperately trying to restrain the war horse.
"Porphyry, porphyry, porphyry." Countless gunshots rang into their bodies, and the horses fell down with a mournful roar, and the knights on their bodies also fell into the forest of guns, blood gushing out of them, converging in front of the spearmen to form a dividing line, greedily absorbed by the dry ground.
"Kill! Kill! The Murong ghost army shouted, stretched out the saber in their hand as much as possible and slashed forward, but unfortunately their bravery did not have much effect, the difference in the length of the weapon was too big, their knives could not cut the other party at all, and they could only throw forward in despair.
The blade of the "Bang" knife smashed on the heavily armored spearman, and could only splash a string of sparks, while the Murong Ghost Army who dropped the weapon seemed to have become a string of meat skewers and wore it on the body of the gun.
"Stand back! Back off! "In the face of this forest of guns, even the bravest Murong Ghost Army is timid, this is not a battle, this is death. It's just that they didn't know what was going on at all, and they kept rushing forward, putting these Murong ghost armies in a dilemma.
"Put!" The archers in the back had already regrouped, and they threw their shots, and the rain of arrows flew over the spearmen and flew into the pursuers behind, and a scream rang out, and a large area was suddenly empty in the middle.
"Put!"
"Kill!"
In the back and forth of the spearmen and archers, the pursuers in front were almost slaughtered in just a cup of tea, and only a few lucky ones escaped to a safe distance, looking at the corpses of their companions in front of them with trepidation. The red sunset finally set down at this time, but in front of thousands of officers and soldiers, nearly a thousand corpses of war horses and people had already fallen, dyeing the entire ground redder than the sunset.
The pursuers who caught up behind looked at everything in front of them in disbelief, the Praetorian Guards should be in the capital, how did they get here? It's just that the scene in front of them makes them have to believe that they are the real prey.
"What's going on?" Seeing that the front stopped advancing, Murong Qi Li asked breathlessly, how old is she, although she grew up on horseback, she gradually fell behind.
Everyone shook their heads, and a probe horse galloped in front of Murong Qi Li from the front, and when he saw Murong Qi Li, the probe horse almost rolled off the horse directly: "Report, old lady, the front was ambushed by the officers and soldiers, and our army suffered heavy losses." ”
Ambush, how can there be an ambush of officers and soldiers here? Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and Murong Qi Li was even more like a handful in the head, and he was beaten speechless.
Huangfu Xiaoxiao came up from behind, and when he saw Murong Qi Li, he hurriedly asked, "Old lady, what's going on in front, why did you stop?" ”
The scout said again, and Huangfu Xiaohuan hurriedly asked: "How many officers and soldiers are there, and how big are the losses?" ”
"General Hui, at least thousands of officers and soldiers, my Murong family has suffered the heaviest losses, more than half."
"What about the prince?"
"The prince and the guards have already entered the city."
"Porphyry." With a sound, Murong Qi Li Shi heard that he spit out a mouthful of blood, and he was about to fall down, but the two maids beside her hurriedly supported him and shouted loudly: "Old lady, old lady." ”
Huangfu Xiaohuan listened to it and his heart was also cold, this time it was a complete defeat, but now that so many people are sandwiched between Qianxian and Renshou Palace, where should they go.
