Chapter 297: Civil Strife
The hour came, in front of the city wall at the foot of the mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Skirmishes had been going on all night, with artillery stones and rockets passing through the air from time to time, and the soldiers were sweating profusely after a busy night.
More catapults and bed crossbows had retreated to the front, and the soldiers had already eaten breakfast and quietly looked at the walls in front of them.
Wang Shen also looked up at the front with a calm expression, and there was even a hint of tiredness in his eyes.
Unlike him, Yan Yumeng's palms beside him were full of cold sweat, and he couldn't help but say: "Military envoy, the time has come, why is there no news on the mountain, could it be General Yingxiang ......and them?"
Wang Shen yawned long and said lazily: "A certain soldier knows best, and there will be no accidents." Yue Yun has the courage of ten thousand people, Niu Gao Henan Haojie has infant irrigation, Chen ...... Lan Ruo, a heroine among women. In addition to Hu Yantong, the strongest martial arts of our Sizhou army all joined in this beheading operation. If you can't take the head of Zhong Xiang like this, what qualifications does you have to compete with the world's heroes, wait, calm down. β
Yan said that Meng is such a clever person, and he knows how to figure out the meaning best. Hearing Chen Lanruo's name, he keenly realized that his military envoy had regarded her as his own general, which showed that the military envoy had the intention of leaving the cavalry army.
Previously, when Chen Lanruo's officers said that she and Wang Junenvoy had a son, the officers and men in the army were shocked. But the strange thing is that the old man of the military envoy was expressionless, as if he didn't care, he was simply cold-faced and ruthless.
But now, he is saying such things. This shows that the military envoy is still very concerned about this matter.
So, what can I do to make this happen? Being able to shed Chen Lanruo and leave the cavalry army behind is a monstrous achievement!
Yan Yuemeng couldn't help but fall into thought.
At this time, suddenly someone shouted: "Fire, fire, fire, burn, burn, mountain!" β
Yan Yuemeng raised his head suddenly, only to see that the pseudo-palace of Lianyunzhai Zhongxiang on the top had a sky-high fire lit, which was so eye-catching in the dark night.
"Okay, it's very good, Yue, Niu, and Chen really didn't disappoint someone, haha, haha!" Wang Shen, who was still sleepy before, had a light in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "The rebellion in Hunan Mani is calm today!" β
"Whew!" A violent wind sounded, and all the trebuchets were fired at the same time, and countless cannon stones with grinding discs fell on the enemy's walls, and the towers made of loess were crumbling.
At the same time, the bed crossbow and the Divine Arm Bow also began to fire.
Rockets are overwhelming, intertwining a brilliant web of fire.
"It's time to go!" Yan Yuemeng's body trembled with excitement.
Behind it, countless red flags unfurled.
Ladders and carts swayed slowly and inexorably in the wilderness.
Squad after team of iron-clad warriors followed the siege equipment forward, and everywhere there were the voices of officers shouting orders: "Forward, forward!" β
"Brothers, now is the time to watch us perform, the military envoy is standing behind us!"
"The Man of Betrayalβ"
"There is no advance or retreat!"
β¦β¦
In Zhong Xiang's palace, the floor slab on the second floor has been burned completely, and the air is so hot that people feel like they are in a furnace.
Zhong Ziang only heard a "squeak" sound from his head, and then a strong smell of burnt paste came, and when he looked up, his eyes were full of jumping flames, and then he knew that his hair and beard had been scorched by the flames.
"Father, father, Yang Mi is reversed, someone is coming, someone is coming!"
"Prince, let's go, let's go!" A guard grabbed Zhong Ziang, who was about to run towards the dormitory, and cried: "The road has been blocked by the rebels, and the thieves are too fierce to kill!" β
"Bastard, do you want me to ignore my father" Zhong Ziang jumped like thunder.
He looked down, and his heart suddenly cooled. But I saw that the pair of thieves were so powerful. Especially the iron pillar at the head and the other man and woman, the martial arts are terrifyingly strong, and almost no one can make a move under them.
Especially the big fat man with the same body as Niu Gao, the straight lady thief is the reincarnation of King Kong Lux. Although the bones in his hands don't look big, once they fall, they can't hold it at all. The gun is broken, and the knife holder is broken. Once the bones fall on you, no matter what kind of solid iron armor you are wearing, you will immediately be beaten to a large piece, and you will not be able to survive immediately.
There was the sound of broken bones everywhere, blood gushing and spilling all over the yard.
The more than 20 thieves had already entered the main hall between the two courtyards, and they would be able to enter their father's palace after walking a few more steps.
"Prince, I can't get by, we have a few people, rushing over is to send him to death. Rather than this, it is better to escape from the palace as soon as possible and go to the barracks to move the rescue troops, maybe it will be too late. Your Majesty has the blessing of Mingzun, and all evil will not invade, and you should be able to hold out until we come back. β
"Shut up, stop talk!" Zhong Zi shouted hoarsely: "I'm going to escort, escort, escort!" β
It was probably because his cry was so loud that it alarmed Niu Gao.
Niu Gao paused at the last step of the main hall, and then drew his bow and shot back.
Zhong Ziang had seen Niu Gao's magic shot before, and when he saw him draw his bow, he knew that it was not good, and subconsciously pulled the guard in front of him.
The guard was caught off guard for a moment, and opened his mouth to scream.
I only heard a "sudden" sound, Niu Gao's arrow hit the back of his head, and the red and bright arrow came out of his mouth.
A stream of hot human blood flowed down the arrow.
Although Zhong Ziang was cruel by nature, and he didn't know how many people he had killed before, he was stunned to find that he was so close to death when he saw this tragic scene in front of him. I don't know why, a sense of fear arises, but I refuse to face the two big fat men and a woman over there alone.
With a scream, he reflexively slipped into the room on the edge of the cloister, smashed through the window, and jumped out.
When he landed, he didn't care about the pain on his body, he spread his legs and ran like crazy towards the barracks under the mountain, shouting as he ran: "Someone's coming, someone's coming, I'm the prince, I'm the prince!" β
Running out less than two miles, he saw an army coming out of the barracks.
The person at the head, Zhong Ziang, knew that it was Yang Qin, the commander of the army. This person is his confidant, and the troops he leads are the guards led by Prince Zhong Puppet.
Seeing Zhong Ziang's smoky appearance, he was shocked, and hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped him to the saddle: "Prince, what's wrong?" β
Zhong Ziang was covered in iron armor, and he only felt soft after running this way, and he gasped: "Yang Qin, why did you bring the troops out?" β
Yang Qin: "If you go back to Your Highness, you are in the barracks, and the last general will see that the palace is on fire, so he will light up the people and go over to see, what's going on over there?" β
"Yang Qi is reversed, his brother-in-law Tie Zhu is leading a team of men and horses to attack the palace, hurry up, bring the troops to kill the traitors, save the driver, save the driver!"
"What, brother...... No, no, no, it's impossible, my brother is sincerely attached to my teaching and the official family, is it wrong? Yang Qin's face turned pale with shock, and he almost fell to the ground.
"I can't be mistaken, I can see it clearly, it's the thief bird of the iron pillar." Zhong Ziang gritted his teeth: "Let's go, everyone obey my orders and go to the palace!" β
Yang Qin: "Okay, anyway, you have to go to the palace to take a look, and the civil strife will be calmed down." β
Just as he was leaving, there was another big chaos, but I saw about a thousand people coming like a tide of horses.
In the firelight, who is the general leading the troops who is not Yang Mi?
Yang Mi shouted: "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's going on on the official side?" β
Seeing him, Zhong Ziang's eyes turned red: "Mrs. Yang, you did a good deed, you actually led troops to attack the palace, did you turn it around?" Someone, kill him! β
Suddenly, the people and horses on both sides were in a mess.
Yang Mi was stunned for a moment and shouted: "Stop, is there any misunderstanding, I also rushed over when I saw His Majesty's fire now." β
He had great prestige in the army, and at this shout, the people on both sides suddenly fell silent.
"Mrs. Yang, you rebel, kill him, kill him!" Suddenly, someone in Yang Qin's department shouted, and an arrow shot towards Yang Mi.
Yang Mi is such a martial artist, he only deflected his head and avoided it.
The feathered arrow fell into the crowd, and someone let out a long scream.
Then, someone shouted: "Zhong Ziang, Zhong Xiang is mediocre, kill him, and help my brother sit in the Dragon Court." Another arrow could not be fired, and Zhong Zi raised his shoulder and thrust it tremblingly, causing him to scream in pain.
In the darkness of the night, no one knew who shot the two arrows. Seeing that they were moving, the soldiers on both sides let out a loud roar at the same time, and they all raised their weapons and rushed forward.
Suddenly, his eyes were full of red human blood and snow-bright blades.
Thousands of men and horses were in chaos in an instant, and they all slashed and killed in a chaotic manner.
It's like bombing a camp, and in the army, it's a terrible thing. Once chaos breaks out, whoever you are, before dawn, it will be impossible for the troops to reorganize order.
In an instant, the figures of Yang Qi and Zhong Ziang were engulfed by the surging crowd, the torches fell to the ground and extinguished one after another, and everything fell into dark chaos.
Yang Qi and Zhong Ziang didn't know that the person who shouted and shot two arrows just now was the dead soldier that Niu Gao brought to the mountain.
Niu Gao's subordinates were all enriched in Yang Qin's Praetorian Guard after being annexed by Zhong Ziang, and when he heard the conversation between Zhong Ziang and Yang Mi, and saw the sky-high fire in the palace, he immediately realized that General Niu had already made a move. Two arrows were fired on the spot, causing uncontrollable chaos in the two armies.
At this time, Zhong Xiang was blocked in the puppet palace, and the puppet prince Zhong Ziang and Yang Mi were trapped in the chaos again.
The Manichaean group has no leader, and there is no suspense about its complete demise.
I just don't know when General Niu Gao will be able to take down Zhong Xiang's head, and when the main force of the mountain will be able to fight.
The fire of the puppet palace rose to the sky, and at the city wall below the mountain, Wang Shen's main force had already begun to launch a general attack. And here, Yang Qi and Zhong Ziang's men were wrapped in a ball, and many people were macheted to the ground by their companions in a daze.
Everywhere there were screams and shouts, the fog was billowing and blind, and many of the soldiers were limp under their feet, rolling down the hillside, apparently unable to stand up again.
