Chapter 7: Shocking

A team of more than 200 people "crawled" like a snail on the main road of Bianjing's Royal Street. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although Bianjing was prosperous and luxurious in the world at that time, it was already midnight and the lights of the entire city had dimmed for most of the time.

There are only a few nightclubs left on the main road that are still brightly lit, and you can still hear the slight snoring of the shopkeeper on the side chair. Occasional lights dot the long, endless night.

The march in this way was slower than the emperor's imperial car, and the sergeants who had been tired for a day and half a night were really tired and bored, and they followed Zhao Shu and Ling Feng listlessly, and the formation was barely decent.

Zhao Shu sat on the horse's back with trepidation, the first time he rode a horse, the skin at the base of the thigh under his crotch had been worn out, and the sharp pain that came made him grin, as if he was like a girl who lost the first night, he didn't dare to ride faster, otherwise he would have to fall off the horse, and the fractures would be light.

Ling Feng, Zhou Yang and Xu Ning walked in front of Zhao Shu on the left and right respectively, Xu Ning and Zhou Yang were fine, but Ling Feng, an impatient, such a slow marching speed made him feel angry in his heart. According to Ling Feng's words, this kind of marching speed, placed in the west, I don't know how many times it has been ambushed by the Western Xia rangers.

More than 200 people walked about half a pillar of incense, and at this moment the houses on both sides gradually became dense and began to grow taller, but there was no light left.

Ling Feng stopped the horse that was already walking extremely slowly, he had always had a special feeling after guarding the Forbidden Palace for many years, but he couldn't say it, he looked around vigilantly, it was better to be careful.

Ling Feng looked back at the team, watching Ling Feng stop, Zhao Shu also learned to stop, and the team behind also stopped. I saw that the whole team had been completely submerged in darkness. And now it is at least two or three miles away from the palace.

The breeze blew gently and blew down the leaves on the trees by the roadside and smashed them on people's faces, making people's faces hurt. From time to time, you can still hear a little cat meow, which is even more creepy.

"All the armies gas torches! Xu Jiaotou, you take twenty people to protect the left wing of His Highness; General Zhou, you lead twenty soldiers to protect the right flank of His Highness; Zhao Guang, Han Feng, Liu Zhong, Chen Qing, etc., follow to protect His Highness closely, and there must be no mistakes. The rest of the people wandered around His Highness in two equal columns, and twenty men came to follow me to explore the way! His Highness will move when he sees the end, and do not act rashly. Feeling that the situation was not right, Ling Feng calmly ordered.

Zhao Shu looked at Ling Feng solemnly and nodded, don't be assassinated on the first day of the Song Dynasty, but later Zhao Shu found out that this was purely groundless, and later generations didn't seem to have heard of which royal family of the Song Dynasty was assassinated in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

Xu Ning and Zhou Yang also felt the same atmosphere, glanced at each other, and then did so.

More than two hundred sergeants of the Golden Gun Squad were like being beaten with chicken blood, and the previous feeling of exhaustion and boredom was suddenly gone, and they were ready for battle according to Ling Feng's orders. Just kidding, be prepared, if something happens to this prince, more than 200 people in their entire army will have to lose their heads.

The street looked eerily quiet in the nightlight, except for the sound of horses' hooves and the slight gasps of people and the clash of iron armor on the sergeants. The sergeants carried torches and tried to make the roofs of the houses on both sides transparent, but the roofs were too high to help.

"Smack!"

The sound of bricks and tiles breaking broke the silence that had been silent for a long time, and all the soldiers looked surprised, not knowing why, but in fact, Ling Feng was the first to react - there was someone on the roof.

"All the troops obey the order, defend the flanks, and protect Your Highness! Ge Tong, you quickly return to the palace and enter the forbidden army camp to send reinforcements! Ling Feng walked in front and shouted loudly.

The sergeants of the Golden Gun Squad began to act according to Ling Feng's orders, but Zhao Shu was in a daze. But it seems that by this time it is already too late.

"Whoosh !!"

Dozens of feathered arrows rained down from the rooftops of the houses, shooting down from both sides, and there were no dead spots in the whole street. The sergeants of the Golden Gun squad pulled out their ring-headed knives from their waists and desperately lowered their feather arrows in their crotches, caught off guard.

The feather arrow smashed on the iron armor of the sergeant of the Golden Gun Squad, making a pleasant sound of "Zheng Zheng". The Song army lacked cavalry, so the iron armor on the infantry was extremely thick. The group of Assassins came to assassinate with them, apparently without the powerful bows and crossbows that could penetrate the iron armor that were easy to spot.

However, there is no mask under the helmet of the Golden Gun Squad, and occasionally the unlucky one is shot in the face, holding his face and falling to the ground in the screams.

Zhao Shu didn't wear armor on his body, and was forcibly pulled off his horse by several guards in a panic, nonsense, riding a target as big as a horse, without any armor protection on his body, it was purely targeted, and a rain of arrows would inevitably become a hedgehog. After Zhao Shu dismounted, more than a dozen guards formed a wall to protect him firmly in the center.

Zhao Shu's feet were trembling, and the forbidden army was obviously at a loss, after all, in such a narrow place, the enemy was secret, and their advantages could not be used at all, so they could only let the enemy do whatever they wanted.

In just a quarter of an hour, 14 sergeants of the Golden Gun squad fell to the ground with arrows, all of them were hit by arrows in the face, seriously wounded, or killed.

The Golden Gun squad brought by Ling Feng on this trip did not carry bows and arrows, and he had no idea for a while in the face of the enemy's long-range attack, so he could only let the enemy do it, and he had no power to fight back.

Zhao Shu is still sighing, it is better for the future, at least today's situation has happened, and his defenders are capable of fighting back.

Ling Feng, Xu Ning and Zhou Yang desperately resisted the arrows, they knew very well that it was impossible to completely annihilate the Golden Spear Squad to assassinate the king of the county with this arrow, and when the forbidden army of the palace was killed, I am afraid that they would not even have a place to escape.

"Listen to the command! The reward for taking the head of the Song Court royal family is one hundred taels, and the reward for capturing this person alive is one thousand taels, and he is promoted to the third level! The reward for killing one officer or soldier is 100 taels! Brothers, kill me as you go!! The rain of arrows stopped suddenly, and only a hoarse shout could be heard from the roof of the house.

Then, hundreds of men in black jumped from the roof under the light of torches, and rushed towards the sergeant of the Golden Gun squad with ring-headed knives in their hands.

After resisting two quarters of an hour of arrows, the sergeants were exhausted, and now the enemy could only cope with the rush down, fighting on their own, and had forgotten all the tasks of protecting Zhao Shu.

At the same time, dozens of black-clothed people entangled Ling Feng, Zhou Yang, and Xu Ning to the death, these people were extraordinary, Ling Feng waved the long knife in his hand, under the wave attack of the long knife, these people were also at ease, Ling Feng felt extremely difficult to kill a person.

The sound coming from the roof just now made Zhao Shu slightly stunned, this familiar voice had not been heard for many years.

A man dressed in a man, with a mask on his face, and wearing a cloak as tall as Zhao Shu, jumped from the roof and rushed straight to where Zhao Shu was.

At the same time, more than a dozen forbidden soldiers guarding Zhao Shu also discovered the black-clothed man's attempt, turned the spearhead and aimed the spear directly at the black-clothed man. I don't know if I can beat him, but at least I can entangle it, and when Xu Jiaotou and General Ling have their hands free, they will be able to protect His Highness.

More than a dozen forbidden soldiers were waiting to see the man rushing over with a knife, the knife in his hand was stared at by the forbidden soldiers, and the marksmanship of the golden gun squad could be entangled even if the opponent was strong.

Seeing that the man in black rushed to the tip of the spear, and still did not pick up the tip of the spear, the soldiers of the forbidden army were a little surprised, only to see the man in black passing between the two spears.

The forbidden army, which had already entered a state of combat readiness, immediately changed its formation, and unexpectedly, the man in black threw down the ring knife in his hand, took out the dagger from his waist and slashed it on the throat of the nearest forbidden soldier.

When the others reacted, the man in black strangled the neck of one of the Forbidden Soldiers with the inside of his elbow until he lost his breath, and the dagger in the other hand also cut the throat of the other Forbidden Army.

A forbidden soldier stabbed the man in black with a gun, and the man in black immediately avoided it with a turn around his waist, and took advantage of the situation to clamp the middle step of the gun under his armpit, just into the attack distance of his legs, so he kicked the forbidden soldier in the chest, and the forbidden soldier flew out more than ten meters away, covering his chest with his hand, and vomiting blood from his mouth.

Under Zhao Shu's shocked gaze, the dozen or so forbidden soldiers guarding him all fell to the ground in an almost instant, while Ling Feng, Xu Ning, Zhou Yang and the remaining forbidden soldiers were entangled by the sudden large number of black-clothed people, unable to get out, the scene on Zhao Shu's side Ling Feng saw it in his eyes, his eyes were almost on fire, but his side was still entangled by three or five black-clothed people.

Zhao Shu's legs trembled, and he looked at the man in black with an innocent expression, and now he had the idea of kneeling and begging for mercy.

The man in black turned his head, and the blade was about to stab into Zhao Shu's throat, but it suddenly froze in mid-air. The man in black frowned, looked Zhao Shu up and down, looked at his face closely, and the hand holding the dagger began to tremble.

"The front of the palace is here! Hurry up and lay down your weapons, or you will be surrounded by our army and burned!! ”

Just as the black-clothed man with the dagger hesitated, he saw that the torches in front of him were bright, illuminating most of the sky, and at the same time, there was a deafening shout in unison.

The man in black couldn't get down, the assassination had obviously failed, the man in black swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, withdrew the dagger, glared at Zhao Shu fiercely, and ordered loudly: "Withdraw!! ”

In an instant, these hundreds of black-clothed people jumped on the roof at the same time, considering Zhao Shu's safety issues, the forbidden army of the Golden Gun Class did not pursue, but all converged around Zhao Shu.

When Zhao Shu was surprised, he saw hundreds of ironclad cavalrymen riding iron horses, wearing iron armor, holding big swords in their left hands and torches in their right hands, rushing to his side neatly and quickly.

Zhao Shu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, it was really a false alarm, but fortunately, his life was not lost. But I always felt that my pants were a little wrong, it seemed to be a little wet, Zhao Shu's face was a little red, but he didn't lose his life, he lost people, fortunately he wasn't seen by others.

After greeting the forbidden army who came to reinforce twice, nearly a thousand forbidden army guards Zhao Shu marched to the palace, this time not Zhao Shu rode alone, but a soldier who was good at riding in the Japanese battalion took him to ride.

As everyone knows, this will cause an even greater bloody storm for both domestic and foreign affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty.
