Chapter 88: The Rebel Sulp
didn't even give Yuan Ju and the others a chance to beg for mercy, and arrows rained down on the palace wall, piercing into the rebel crowd, setting off a bloody storm. The rebels were gathered together, the guards were condescending, and the cries of misery echoed through the small urn city.
Several waves of arrows rained down, and hundreds of rebels fell. The fear of death drove the rebels to react, with high walls on all sides, with only the palace gate behind it having a chance to stand out.
Under the command of Yuanju, the remaining rebels began to rush back frantically, trying to escape the "cage". To the despair of Yuanju, dozens of large shields were transferred from the Ordnance Supervisor, and they were opened layer by layer to block the gate of the palace city.
The desire to survive was full of the rebel soldiers, who still rushed towards the shield, and the soldiers in the front row were pushed and shoved into the shield by the crowd behind. The huge impact only slightly shook the layers of large shields, and the soldiers in front of the head directly hit and fell down, while the soldiers behind stepped on the corpses and continued to rush forward in waves.
For a full quarter of an hour, trampling and slamming, several layers of corpses were laid in the hole of the city gate, completely blocked, and it was difficult for the rebels to stand out. Many people's corpses were directly trampled into minced meat, and the tragic situation was amazing.
On the palace wall, the archers did not pause, and each person had thirty sharp arrows in his quiver, drawing their bows and releasing arrows, mercilessly slaughtering. The rebels in the city could only scream and struggle, begging for mercy, but they could not shake the determination of the guards to take action.
He has been standing on the wall with a cold face. Until the quiver shot into the air and tens of thousands of feathered arrows passed, the rebels were almost all defeated under the urn city. Only a dozen or so people were still standing, with a few arrows pierced in their bodies, and their eyes were full of the hollowness of despair.
The scene fell silent, and Fu Gu Huaijing stared at the cruel scene for a long time. "Lord Commander, there is a rebel attack over there, please go and help!" A guard hurriedly ran to the side of Fugu Huaijing and said.
His complexion changed, how could there still be rebels! Leng Leng ordered: "Leave five hundred people to clean up, and we will enter the palace to support!" ”
At the time of the incident in Beicheng, there were also 3,000 rebels in Xicheng, all the way into the city, breaking through the palace gate from the south, and rushing straight to the main hall where Liu Yuan was. Most of the guards were transferred to encircle and suppress the rebels in the north, and there was not much resistance, and the rebels ran directly to the square outside the main hall.
The door of the main hall was opened, and hundreds of guards were guarding the perimeter, and Liu Yuan sat quietly on the throne, staring at the leader of the rebel army, Zheyu.
Seeing Liu Yuan's indifferent appearance of everything under control, Zheyu couldn't help frowning, which was not in line with his expectations, and several layers of shadows were cast in his heart. But the matter has come to this, from the moment he decided to betray Liu Yuan, it has been irreparable, and it is a life-and-death struggle.
"Lord Zheyu, isn't there something wrong!" The Yiqu patriarch next to him asked with some apprehension.
"Attack!" There was no nonsense, and Zheyu decisively ordered that no matter what the situation was on Liu Yuan's side, the most important thing was to kill him.
The rebels roared and attacked the main hall, Liu Yuan was very steady, and hundreds of guards guarded the several doors of the main hall, and there was no emotion in the face of the attacking rebels. They are the most elite warriors in the Guard, and one is no longer a problem.
Hold a shield, swing a knife, slash, and repeat itself, like a killing machine. Someone fell, and someone immediately made up for it, loyally guarding Liu Yuan.
After all, the rebels are a mixed army, and they are brave, but compared to the guards, the gap is not half a point. After a fierce battle for a while, he was also firmly blocked outside the hall, unable to attack, and fought on the corridor with the Danqi outside the hall.
The battle loss ratio is very exaggerated, only five or six people can be replaced, the stumps and broken arms are scattered, the rebels can't attack, and the huge casualties make them hesitate. After that, Zheyu naturally discovered the instability of the army's heart, his face was as low as water, and he urged in a cold voice: "Keep attacking, if you can't kill Liu Yuan, we all have to die!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the rebel soldiers who had just slackened couldn't help but step up their attacks and stepped forward desperately. However, despite your turbulent waves, I will not move, and the guards will still fight back the rebels' offensive.
"Archer, aim for me, shoot!" Looking at the scene that could never be attacked, Zheyu said coldly. The combat effectiveness of the guards is really desperate, and it is necessary to do extraordinary things.
The patriarch of Yiqu immediately persuaded: "My lord, the warriors have been entangled with the guards, and this arrow will kill and injure their own people!" ”
"Shut up!" Zheyu glared at him fiercely, turned his head and ordered, "Release the arrow!" Looking to the north, time was running out, and his fists were clenched, his nails almost digging into his flesh.
Taking advantage of his might, the people around him immediately raised their bows and shot angrily, and the soldiers of the two sides fighting in front of him suddenly fell in large pieces. The effect was good, although the rebels fell more to the ground, but the position of the guards also wavered for the first time.
"Retreat!" Cutting down a rebel army that rushed up, Wan Qian Jin decisively ordered, and led the army with several centurions to retreat to the temple, relying on the temple gate to resist.
Liu Yuan, who had been staring at the fight, flashed a trace of fluctuation in his eyes, in order to protect himself, these guards and pro-army soldiers restrained their aggressiveness a lot. Otherwise, with their impact power, charging head-on, those rebels are by no means opponents, where can there be such a passive attack!
With the cover of the temple gate, the threat of bows and arrows was greatly weakened, and the guards appeared to be at ease, even if more than half of the casualties were forcefully pushed out of the rebels who had rushed into the temple several times.
Just when Zheyu's brows were twisted together, there was a sound of killing from the south, and more than a thousand Hun soldiers attacked from the south, and the leader was Xu Bu Chiyi!
The patriarch of Yiqu was immediately shocked and looked at Zheyu: "My lord, something is wrong, everything is over, let's escape!" ”
"Run! Where can I escape? With a loud roar, his eyes were red, and the Yiqu patriarch was frightened to shut up. Sent hundreds of people back against Subu Chiyi, looking at the "crumbling" guards in the hall who had suffered heavy losses, and the crazy color in his pupils flashed: "Keep attacking!" ”
The rebels were already unstable, and even under urging, it was still difficult to break through the guards. The Yiqu patriarch was already a little restless, and after another quarter of an hour, he couldn't help but persuade out loud: "Lord Zheyu, you can't kill Liu Yuan, let's withdraw!" ”
A gloomy color suddenly hung on Zheyu's face, and he instantly pulled out his waist knife and stabbed into the abdomen of the Yiqu Patriarch. Blood splattered and stained his body, and the Yiqu patriarch's face showed a painful look, his eyes were full of fear, his lips squirmed, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't spit out a word.
When I heard the word "noise", I completely lost consciousness. Pulling out the blood-stained war knife and rubbing it on his robe, Zheyu personally rushed forward and joined the battle circle.
Liu Yuan was in a high place, and he kept looking at the audience, and he saw the performance of Zheyu in his eyes. I didn't expect him to have such a ruthless side!
The last madness of the rebels was in vain, and as Fu Gu Huai led the crowd, they were extinguished in three or two blows, and there was no room for resistance.
The rebel soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered, fighting to the end, and Zheyu was wounded and bound!
