Chapter 23: The Canon (7)
On February 29, the fifth year of Jian'an, it rained.
Shou Chun.
The palace is turbulent, and the city of Shouchun is also very noisy, and the streets that were originally very lively because of the Yuan Shu ceremony have long since disappeared from the traces of pedestrians.
The hot blood with temperature was sprinkled all over the ground, and in the alleys, there were fallen corpses everywhere beside the dry wells, although they were dressed in various ways, but they could see the unwillingness before death in their eyes.
Because half an hour ago, these two groups of people representing different interests had already burned the flames of war into Shouchun City.
In fact, this is also helpless, Tai Shici received Gao Yun's order an hour ago to ambush the Qiao Rui troops who were coming, the process was very smooth, and Qiao Rui's troops were also exhausted, but Qiao Rui did not die after all, with him, there were still people in command of the Imperial Forest Army in the city.
Gao Yun and Yuan Yao definitely still need the support of their own people, so Tai Shici knew that this battle was inevitable, and his task was not to rescue a trapped general like Zhang Xun, but to lead these people over the defense line of Qiaorui and go to the palace.
Then the only way to move forward is to kill.
"Damn!"
Tai Shi Ci roared angrily, and he shot a Royal Forest Army away, and then leaned towards his team panting.
His war horse was dead, and the battle had evolved into a street fight, and in such a crowded battlefield, the death of the war horse had long been the result that Tai Shici had predicted.
"General Zhang, how are they?"
Tai Shi Ci looked around, and roughly estimated that there were at least more than 3,000 Imperial Forest Army in this city, and his own troops were only less than 1,000, even if they had just rescued so many military bosses, their personal guards had already lost too much in the morning handover.
Zhang Xun and Chen Nan are Yuan Yao's henchmen, and Yuan Shu's intention was also obvious before, that is, to preemptively cut off Yuan Yao's foreign aid, so his first task is to let this group of military bigwigs enter the palace first, because only in this way will Yuan Shu be dealt a great blow to both the strategic and psychological aspects.
Gong Du and Tai Shi Ci were back to back at this time, and he also understood what Tai Shi Ci meant, Zhang Xun and them were responsible for taking shortcuts, so they immediately replied: "General rest assured, General Zhang has moved towards the palace under our cover, but Xuan Gao They are unwilling to leave, and they still have to fight side by side with us." ”
Tai Shici nodded, he knew the direct friendship between Zang Ba and Gao Yun, although Zang Ba was his own person, but after all, he was also a captain of Jiujiang on the surface, with this official position, he was also one of the people who returned to the pilgrimage, and he was also disturbed by the Imperial Forest Army earlier, but now he can stay and help himself, so it is a huge help.
Tai Shi Ci raised his eyes and saw that in the alley in the distance, a man in black armor was slashing wildly, his face was full of blood, the long knife was gone, and the saber he carried with him had also slightly chopped the blade, but he was standing there like a demon crawling out of hell, although all around him were people from the Royal Forest Army, but none of them dared to approach.
You must know that Zang Ba's subordinates are all Danyang elites, these people are the strong forces that Tao Gongzu used to fight with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry back then, although Zang Ba did not bring many into the city, but now there are a few left?
Just look at the isolated scene of Zang Ba to know the fate of these veterans.
In the face of such a large number of well-equipped Imperial Forest Army, it is difficult for the Danyang elite to be an opponent, especially the strong crossbow in their hands, as long as they open up the space, one arrow can harvest a good head.
It's absolutely unaffordable! If this continues, not only will their own team be polished, but even Zang Ba's life will be in danger.
Tai Shici's gaze continued to sweep, and when he stared at a big man with a horse chopping knife, he already had a plan in his heart.
"Gong Du, you take this group of people to help General Zang first."
"What?" Gong Du, who had just hacked to death a Royal Forest Army who tried to come forward, couldn't believe his ears.
You must know that the city war will inevitably be divided into countless battlefields, and most of the small number of sides are a hundred or ten people in a circle, and then there are layers to face the enemies who are constantly coming forward.
And his current situation is like this, this pair of round formations led by himself and Tai Shi Ci is definitely the least consumed team on the battlefield, although this is largely because of Tai Shi Ci's bravery, but Tai Shi Ci can have such a long period of good state is also due to this round array.
Because of the existence of the round array, Tai Shi Ci can have time to breathe, don't underestimate such a short rest time, for a military general at the level of Tai Shi Ci, it is the best charge.
Now Tai Shici actually let himself take all the people in this circle away to rescue Zang Ba?
Then without the support of the circle array, Tai Shi Ci will be completely reduced to an isolated and helpless situation, this situation is terrifying, even Tai Shi Ci's martial arts attainments Gong dare not speculate, but in the face of thousands of people attacking in turn, even Lu Fengxian back then is difficult to fight out of the encirclement!
"It's an order!"
"General Zang is the favorite general of Lord Taishou, and this battle must protect him."
"As for me, I have my own way..."
In the end, Gong Du still gritted his teeth, and with Gong Du's help, the crisis of Zang Ba in the alley was quickly alleviated.
At the same time, Tai Shi Ci was shuttling through the crowd at absolute speed, the muscles of his legs were tense, and his cunning rabbit-like figure was constantly strangling the enemy in front of him, his gaze sharp.
Tai Shi Ci exerted his strength violently, and the spear struck forward, and the huge inertia directly penetrated the body of a royal forest army, but everything was not over, due to the crowding of the battlefield, this group of people was almost lined up, and under this sudden life-seeking spear, they were instantly skewered into meat skewers.
Tai Shi Ci continued to accelerate, he jumped directly in front of the last corpse, and in his right hand, the spear was suddenly pulled out from these corpses that had long been dead, and the blood fluttered, splashing on the side of Tai Shi Ci's face, but he didn't care at all, because he had only one goal.
As long as you kill him, this Royal Forest Army will be leaderless.
Just kill him, and it will be possible to turn the tide.
He is Qiao Rui.
Ten steps, five steps, three steps...
Tai Shi Ci once again stabbed to death a few Royal Forest soldiers who were blocking the road, and Qiao Rui's figure was in front of him.
"The thief will take his life!"
Under the big drink, Tai Shi Ci had already jumped high, his hands almost with all his strength to send the spear out, he hoped to kill with one blow!
Qiao Rui, who was full of murderous intent, was startled by this loud shout, and when he turned around, the person and the shot had already galloped in.
In the face of such an offensive, Qiao Rui instinctively raised his knife to file, and the psychological existence was all a fluke...
