Chapter 1218: Sudden Cold Arrow
readx; In the afternoon of the same day, the four guerrillas led more than 10,000 soldiers out of the city from the south gate of Luoyang and drove to Zhengzhou. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.infoβ β β β said that although they didn't have a jade card, because they held the general soldier token, Zuo Liangyu had just beheaded four generals Liwei, so no one dared to disobey the general's order, and they were also justified when they went out of the city.
Although the city gate official was puzzled, more than 10,000 soldiers were clamoring to leave the city, and there were four military attachΓ©s of the fourth rank leading the team, how could he dare to stop him, so he had to open the city and let him go, while secretly sending people to send a letter to Gao Cunyi, the eunuch of the prison army. When Gao Cunyi received the report and sent the eunuch to the south city gate, the army had already gone far.
Gao Cunyi was shocked when he heard the news, because according to the rules, all the mobilization of troops must be done with his permission. I heard that the army went out of the city on the orders of the general of Luoyang, so I hurriedly took a sedan chair to find Zhang Ji's theory. But when he arrived at the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion, he saw that the gate was closed. He hurriedly called the sergeant guarding the door and asked, "We have urgent business to see Chief Zhang, open the door quickly!" β
The sergeant hurriedly said in embarrassment: "Father-in-law Gao, General Soldier Zuo has just passed down the general's order, saying that he wants to discuss top-secret military affairs in the palace, and no one is allowed to put it in." β
"Nonsense, what top-secret military affairs are still behind our family..."Gao Cunyi just scolded for half a sentence, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What did you just say?" What is 'Lord Zuo'? β
The sergeant also said inexplicably: "Father-in-law Gao, didn't General Zuo just take over as the chief soldier today after receiving a secret edict?" Zhang Ji and the three generals rebelled, and they were beheaded at noon, and their heads were still hanging on the high pole outside the conference hall..."
"Ahh Gao Cunyi's head buzzed, and he immediately realized that something had happened, and screamed, "Come... Come on, surround our family with the General Military Mansion, and go and inform the Lord of Long Live! Something is wrong! β
After about half an hour, a large number of rebels arrived in a panic and surrounded the general military palace three floors inside and three floors outside. At this time, Gao Cunyi had already learned what had happened from the sergeant guarding the door, and he couldn't help but be so angry that he scolded: "Okay, you Zuo Liangyu, you really ate the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you dare to falsely spread the holy decree to mobilize the army!" Hurry up and come out and be caught, and you can suffer less, otherwise don't blame our family for being polite! β
But after shouting for a long time, no one in the General Army's Mansion answered. At this time, it was getting late, and the rebels had already raised their torches, Gao Cunyi immediately ordered the rebels to break down the door, and the soldiers shouted and smashed open the door of the house, but saw that the front yard and the front hall were empty. These people rushed straight to the conference hall again, but they saw that the heads of Zhang Ji and others were hanging on the high pole outside the hall, but there were dozens of corpses lying in the hall, all of them were guards and soldiers of the General Military Mansion, but they couldn't even see Zuo Liangyu's shadow.
At the same time, Zuo Liangyu, Jin Tongwu and others had already changed into civilian clothes and sat in a private room on the third floor of a restaurant near Anximen. This restaurant is only about 20 steps away from the city gate tower, and the height of the three floors is almost level with the city wall, so you can clearly see the movement of the city head.
It turned out that after Zuo Liangyu and others killed four rebel generals and mobilized more than 10,000 rebels out of the city, they found an excuse to close the gate of the general army's mansion, killed the soldiers in the mansion one by one, and then quietly left the mansion through the back door. After returning to the Xingping, he changed into the costume of an ordinary merchant, concealed the bows and arrows collected from the General Soldier's Mansion, found this restaurant in an excellent location, and went upstairs to charter three private rooms, and instructed the men to serve all the dishes, and not to summon or come in to disturb.
Zuo Liangyu picked up the wine jug and drank it all, which calmed down his heart that was beating wildly due to extreme nervousness a little. Recalling today's thrilling experience, although every step was thrilling, it was finally a great success, especially the soldiers who were transferred away were the elite of the defenders, and they couldn't help but be quite proud, patted Jin Tongwu's shoulder and laughed: "General Jin, Zuo has lived for dozens of years, and he has fought a lot of big and small battles, and he has never been so exciting as today!" Especially slaughtering those few dogs who eat inside and out, it's really fucking happy! β
"The happier ones are yet to come." Jin Tongwu smiled and said, "I have heard for a long time that General Zuo's archery skills are superb, and I will ask General Zuo to show his might." β
It may be that he drank too quickly, Zuo Liangyu was already drunk, and he was no longer timid, and the insidious and ruthless energy in his heart was seduced instead. After listening to Jin Tongwu's plan, he sneered and said, "What's so difficult about this. Rank and please sit high and drink, just look at Zuo's deeds! β
As he spoke, he pushed open half of the window, and the front was facing the city gate. Anximen is the most heavily defended place among the four gates of Luoyang, especially at night, when the lanterns and torches at the head of the city are as bright as day, and from time to time there are groups of rebels patrolling back and forth. Of course, their attention is all outside the city, but they are completely defenseless behind the scenes.
Zuo Liangyu immediately stretched out his bow and set up an arrow, but he didn't see how to aim, and raised his hand to be an arrow. I heard a muffled sound of "poof" coming from the opposite side, nailed to the back of the head of a city defender standing at the battlement and looking out of the city. Because the force of this arrow was so great, it pierced the skull, and the soldier didn't even say a word, and fell down to the city with his body planted forward.
The arrow shot so suddenly and so fast that no one around him saw it, only the soldier who fell. The hundred households in charge of the defense of this section of the city wall didn't know what was going on, and scolded and said: "This dog must have eaten too much wine and food, and if he falls from such a high city wall, he must not fall to his death?" The gate of the city has been sealed, and it cannot be opened until the end of the day, so if someone comes, tie a rope from the head of the city and go down a few of them, and put him on him, and see if there is any help. β
Zuo Liangyu heard it here clearly, sneered silently, and then opened his bow again, changed directions, and raised his hand to make another arrow. This time, it shot a patrolling soldier in the back, and the arrow came out of the chest. The man screamed so badly that he died.
Then there was a great chaos at the head of the city, and arrows were stuck in their backs, so that anyone could see them. But when it happened suddenly, the rebels took it for granted that the arrow was fired from outside the city, and immediately someone shouted in a panic: "Someone is attacking from outside the city!" β
At this time, it is already a quarter of the hour, and it is more than eight o'clock in the evening in modern time. In the middle of winter, it was already dark outside the city, and the rebels were in chaos for a while, and they really thought that someone was attacking the city, so they began to fire their bows and arrows in a panic, and the few bird guns also rang out sparsely.
And Zuo Liangyu took advantage of this opportunity, and the arrows were like beads all the time, shooting more than 20 arrows in one breath. With each arrow, one of the soldiers at the head of the city screamed and fell; With each shot killed, the rebels became even more panicked, and then no one dared to fire arrows outside the city, and all of them shrank behind the battlements, for fear that they would die if they showed their heads. In fact, how did they know that the deadly Hades were behind their backs and could take their lives at any time!
