Chapter 264: Thunder in the Imperial Capital
The abducted horses of the Jin Kingdom were three times larger than the Xiao cavalry, and Jiao Wentong suffered heavy losses after the bloody battle with the soldiers.
Jiao Wentong himself also suffered several injuries. Although it is not fatal, it is also bloody, and it looks like it is about to run out.
"I'll wait for the martial arts, and I'll return it as a horse leather shroud!" Jiao Wentong fought hard, and at the same time used a roar to boost the morale of his brothers, "To be able to fight and die with the brothers, Jiao Wentong, three lives are fortunate!" β
"Swear to follow Second Brother Jiao!!"
The roar of the roaring horsemen who were still alive responded, as if returning to the light, and Dou Ran burst out with fierce combat power, launching a desperate counterattack against the Jin country kidnapping horses that surrounded them.
The cavalry of the Jin State is about to crush most of China, and it seems to be synonymous with the "elite division" under Fang today. Xiao Cavalry can be regarded as an elite cavalry in the southern country, but compared with the abducted horse, it can also kill as much.
After all, the Jurchens were nomads who lived on horseback and made war their profession, and they were immersed in horsemanship and combat since childhood, how could they be compared with ordinary cavalry? The tenacity and ferocity of this roaring cavalry in front of him were already beyond the expectations of the generals of the Jin Kingdom, and they were surprised again and again - I didn't expect that there were such cavalry in the southern country!
Suzaku and the others escorted Xu Han, and finally entered the city of Tokyo, and the gate was immediately closed. Countless soldiers and horses rushed in front of them, and the Dutch armor surrounded seven or eight of them majestically with guns, like a group of hungry wolves blocking the lonely lonely sheep.
At the same time, the battle circle outside the city was getting smaller and smaller, and Jiao Wentong and the others had completely fallen into the encirclement. The intention of the Jin people is quite clear, and it is irretrievable to escape a few people into the city of Tokyo; Then none of the remaining people can be spared!
"Kill them all, not a single one will be left!"
The general of the kidnapping horse gave the order.
Looking at the more and more kidnappers and horses gathered around him, and more and more brothers fell, Jiao Wentong was sad from his heart, anger grew from the side of his guts, and roared like thunder in a crazy fight. After shooting all the arrows with his bow, he slashed with the Qingyun long knife, and the blood of the people and horses was like a soul-hooking yaksha coming from hell.
"Tuk, tuk!"
Three arrows struck Jiao Wentong at the same time, and they all pierced his back!
"Second Brother - !!" The whistling rider beside him let out a heart-rending scream.
Jiao Wentong twitched all over, blood had already spurted out of his mouth, and he stared at the qi in front of him with wide eyes, "The person who used the arrow died under the arrow...... Jiao, he died well! β
"Second Brother!!"
Several howling horsemen rushed to Jiao Wentong's side desperately, and used their flesh and blood to resist the panicked flying arrows for him, and three of them were killed in the screams.
"Jiao will still be accompanied by brothers like you until he dies...... No hatred! β
"Lord, Jiao is incompetent, so he can only lead the horse and fall into the stirrups for you in the next life!"
β¦β¦
A horse is like white lightning, and he rushes into the battle group like a fly. The Jin Guo kidnapper horse on the left and right couldn't stop him, and he actually let him pierce in like a knife cutting tofu. A group of cavalry troops, numbering nearly a thousand people, under his leadership, unstoppably entered the battle group and tore through the encirclement of the kidnapping horses.
Immediately afterwards, two more horsemen followed and killed together, and the three generals surrounded Jiao Wentong in a zigzag shape, killing a circle of kidnappers and horses.
Jiao Wentong had fallen off his horse, and in a haze, he saw a young man of Shenwu fall beside him and pick him up.
"Zhang Xian Wang Gui, save people and go first!" The young man handed Jiao Wentong over to the other two, and he picked up the gun again and got on the horse, his thick eyebrows raised and the gun was angry, "After a certain break!" β
"Yes!" Zhang Xian and Wang Gui agreed to the promise, and the two horses lifted Jiao Wentong and rode away. Another circle of cavalry escorted them, and they slaughtered them like a whirlwind. The kidnapping horses of the Jin Kingdom couldn't stop them, and let them kill them in the battle circle.
The rest of the roaring cavalry were amazed - there were still such brave officers and cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty?!
"Dare to ask the general's surname?"
"A certain Yue Fei is also!" Yue Fei led the army to kill the enemy, and said, "You can retreat quickly, and you will be cut off!" β
"Yue Fei! - Don't thank you, I'll go and follow Second Brother Jiao first! The horsemen roared, and collectively turned their horses' heads to chase Zhang Xian and Wang Gui.
When the generals of the Jin Kingdom saw this situation, they were both angry and helpless. Seeing that he was about to defeat Jiao Wentong, he also fought until he was exhausted, and he didn't want to kill one after another. This place is close to the castle of Tokyo, and if there are countless soldiers and horses killed in the city, it is not cost-effective to kill and injure yourself too much.
So, the kidnapper Ma Mingjin withdrew his troops.
Although the number of more than 1,000 cavalry under Yue Fei's command is scarce, it is a new force with abundant combat power.
The generals of the Jin Kingdom are angry!
"Han'er doesn't know how to die!!"
turned over and came back, and made a circle with Yue Fei.
The battle outside the city was once again in dire straits. Jiao Wentong had just retreated tragically, and he was immediately replaced by Yue Fei to deal with him.
Maybe it was because they held back too long and too hard in Tokyo, Yue Fei and the others were like a group of beasts that had been released from the cage, fighting desperately with the kidnappers and horses without fear, although the number was less than half of the opponent's, but they were not left behind!
Inside Tokyo, it's a different story.
There is a big battle outside the city, and it is impossible for the city not to know about it. Naturally, the imperial envoy Sun Fu also learned the information and hurried to the west gate to check. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I just saw Jiao Wentong kill the Taoist who was praying for divine soldiers at the head of the city with an arrow.
Sun Fu was both shocked and angry, not to mention that he had already known that it was Xu Han, the secret envoy sent by the official family to break through, so it must be Chu Tianya's people who escorted him back to Tokyo!
This group of people is so desperate to return to Tokyo, they must set off a bloody storm - Sun Fu can think of it with his ass, and the target is likely to point to him!
So, Sun Fu did not hesitate to order the city gate to be closed and not to let this group of people enter the city.
Unexpectedly, the Kaifeng prefect "Old East and West Zongze", who was responsible for guarding the city gate, was bold and reckless, not only broke out of the city gate and put Xu Han in, but also sent a group of soldiers and horses to help save people!
Xu Han was hysterically furious!
He transferred 3,000 forbidden troops to block the West Gate, and issued an order to kill, and when he saw Xu Han, without saying a word, he cut off the head and came to ask for merit - and ordered to arrest Zong Ze, who was a disobedient criminal!
Outside the city, the sword light and sword shadow corpse blood are flying, and inside the city, it is also sabre-rattling and murderous!
"On the arrowβ"
With an order, the three thousand forbidden troops opened the crossbow strings and aimed at Xu Han, Suzaku and others who had just entered the city.
After hardships and injuries, he finally entered the city of Tokyo, but he faced the killing of his own people.
"Bastard-!!" Xuanwu and the others are going crazy, ready to kill the fish and break the net, drag one back without loss, and kill two to earn.
"Stop !!"
A roar of thunder came from the side, and a group of men and horses rushed to the side. The first member of the armor-clad veteran had white hair and danced in the wind, followed by a group of Praetorian cavalry, and two eunuchs of the Yellow Gate.
"The official family has a decree - Xuan Xu Han will meet you!!"
The veteran general's majestic voice fell like thunder, making all the forbidden army subordinates hesitate, and many of them put away their bowstrings.
"Zong Ze, you pretend to pass the holy decree, you deserve to be a capital crime!!"
A middle-aged red-robed official walked out, and pointed at the veteran in anger, "The prime minister just received a decree from the official family, and he wants to kill the traitor Xu Hanren who fornicated with the enemy, where did you get the false decree from!" - Come on, kill Zong Ze first, and then kill Xu Han!! β
How dare the Praetorian Guards disobey the order, there was a smack, and the arrow turned to Zong Ze again.
"The angel is here, Sun Fu, take a look clearly!!" Zong Ze was not only not afraid of the three thousand sharp arrows, but instead spoke in a righteous and stern voice like thunder, and raised his hand to a eunuch of the Yellow Gate beside him, who was really holding an apricot scroll in his hand.
When Sun Fu saw it, his heart tightened, and he roared angrily, "There must be a deception - listen to my orders and let ...... go."
Before he finished finishing his words, Sun Fu's movements froze, and his eyes widened like copper bells.
A black-covered figure fell to Sun Fu's side at some point, with a short dagger in his hand, dripping blood.
"I am the Son of Heaven's confidant and guard, Suzaku. On the secret order of the official family, he killed the courtier Sun Fu. Suzaku stood tall and raised the dagger in his hand, "This is the dagger given by the Son of Heaven to kill thieves, and all the soldiers see this dagger, as if I am here!" β
On the spot, not only countless soldiers were stunned, but even Xuanwu, Xu Han and Zong Ze were stunned - where did this person come from, or the Son of Heaven guard?
Xu Han's reaction was almost a shot after all, he knelt down on the spot, and shouted with his head on the ground, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" β
Zong Ze and the others suddenly came to their senses, and immediately knelt down and shouted long live.
Sun Fu is dead, and there is a gift from the Son of Heaven and a holy decree in front of him, where does the leaderless Praetorian Guard have any other ideas?
So, the Praetorian Guards in circles fell to their knees like waves, and the mountain shouted "Long live".
Suzaku held the bright silver dagger with an ugly cross across her face, and the corners of her mouth rose and she smiled under the strange and cold mask.
"General Zong, please quickly send troops and horses out of the city to resist the enemy and rescue the friendly troops outside the city!" Suzaku seemed to regard himself as the real "secret envoy of the Son of Heaven", and unceremoniously gave orders, "The rest of the soldiers, defend the city and wait for it, beware of the gold thieves attacking the city!" β
"Promise-" Zong Ze's long white whiskers trembled, thundered in response, and waved his big hand, "All the soldiers, go out of the city to meet the enemy!" β
The eunuch of the Yellow Gate walked up to Suzaku with a confused look on his face, and handed over the scroll of the holy decree to Suzaku.
Looking at the face of this little yellow door, it was already clear at a glance, and Suzaku didn't need to open it to see that this must be a fake holy decree. I can't say, the veteran Zong Ze is also a wonderful person, and at this critical moment, he thought of such a wonderful trick as "fake holy decree".
The two tacitly glanced at each other, and immediately went their separate ways. The 3,000 Janissaries crowded by the city gate also quickly dispersed.
Xu Han, Xuanwu and the others were all relieved, and at the same time, they looked at the usually silent and unsmiling Suzaku incredibly, and their eyes were like worshipping the gods in the sky.
"The lord has an order, and at any cost, escort Xu Xiang into Tokyo to meet the official family." Suzaku walked up to everyone and said lightly, "Xu Xiang, please!" β¦β¦ Official, waiting for you in the palace! β
