Chapter 19: The Praetorian Guard

A group of guards stood in front of the main hall with their heads held high, proudly showing their majestic bodies like an adult male bear to everyone who passed by them, covering them with heavy armor made of the most precious bronze of thirty catties, holding in their hands the special thunder pattern knife for the elite troops of the Shang Dynasty, and wearing a pure black cloak behind their backs, which looked really majestic and majestic, quite a bit of manhood. It is no wonder that the noble ladies who can only put the palanquin outside the door and walk into the palace with their own feet will turn around the body of these Praetorian Guards in front of the palace one by one with an almost cannibalistic eye.

Feeling the hot gaze of those women, these guards in front of the palace stood more straight one by one, and the expressions on their faces became more arrogant, but in their hearts, they couldn't help but think about the most obscene thoughts of men, "If you can really be taken by a noble lady, being her underground lover can be regarded as pulling a bright road for your career!" It's just a pity that there are no stupid people here who dare to risk their lives to break into the palace, otherwise I can let these women understand that their husbands are all useless embroidered pillows, and how can they meet their increasingly exuberant needs?! ”

Especially today, the king of the Great Shang Dynasty will lead hundreds of civil and military officials to visit the Nuwa Temple, thanks to the protection of Nuwa Niangniang, the Great Shang Dynasty has continued for more than 600 years, and is still vigorous.

Throughout the history of more than 600 years, the Shang Dynasty Ming Dynasty has conquered more than 9,000 countries and tribes, it can really be called the only one, every day the envoys from all over the world come to congratulate an endless stream, countless capable people, handicraftsmen with a skill, but also the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty as a place for them to show their talents, and continue to flock to build the Chaoge more prosperous.

The king of the Xuan wants to lead personally, and the number of guards on duty in front of the palace has increased at least three times, and there are many masters of the Red Tiger Battalion who have been personally trained by the king of Zhou, and it is tantamount to seeking a dead end if they want to forcibly storm the main hall in this situation.

However, who would have thought that in this case, someone would really dare to risk their lives to break into the temple!

A maroon red steed with four hooves stomped on the hard stone road in front of the main hall, making a soft and crisp sound of "clucking and clucking". As long as you see this tall, strong, powerful and slender jujube red military horse, anyone will stretch out their thumbs and say a good horse.

With such a good horse, it is enough to marry ten women who will look good and have outstanding figures in a relatively remote mountain village. But now the owner of the horse did not show any sympathy for this good horse, and kept slamming the whip in his hand on the hind of the horse, which was completely soaked with sweat, as if it had just been fished out of the water. Behind this steed, the defense troops of the capital city with halberds in hand were chasing after each other with sweat and screaming. But how is it possible for a man's two legs to outrun a horse's four legs? So although they have a heart, they can only chase farther and farther.

The steed did not know how many miles it had already run, and he kept snorting, and a thick layer of white foam had accumulated in front of his nostrils, and the knight, who was wearing only a light leather armor, suddenly pulled out a dagger from his leg and stabbed it into the back of the horse.

The ladies and ladies who took the opportunity to hide behind the Praetorian Guards all looked at the intruder who had the audacity to rush in single-handedly and make trouble. Seeing that the knight on the horse suddenly stabbed his mount, these ladies and ladies let out an exclamation in unison, and some even had a stiff neck and weak legs, and the weight of the whole person was moved to the Praetorian Guard, God knows if they really fainted at the sight of blood, or wanted to take the opportunity to establish a good communication relationship with the Praetorian Guard in front of the heroic and extraordinary palace in front of them.

The Praetorian Guards in front of the palace are now enjoying this kind of flying blessing flawlessly, only to hear a "choking" sound in a line, and hundreds of elongated version of the standard thunder pattern bronze knives came out of their sheaths together, and all the warriors of the Praetorian Guard in front of the palace stared viciously at the knight on the horse. These palace guards have undergone the most rigorous military training, and they also accompanied the king of Xu, Wentaishi and Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, to fight in the east and west, all of them are all-round masters in foot combat, chariot warfare, and horse warfare. They all understood that the knight suddenly stabbed the horse with a dagger, which was a kind of "horse control" that the Qiang knights were best at, to stimulate the fierce horses whose physical strength had been exhausted to the limit in a short period of time, and to stimulate the last potential of their lives.

This method is simple but effective, and when used on the battlefield, it can often win the last assault force for the knight, turning the tide of battle in an instant. But once this method is used, irreversible and serious damage is inflicted on the horse, and no knight is willing to kill his own brother and horse until the last resort.

A captain of the Praetorian Guard in front of the palace with two bright red feathers on his bronze helmet stared at the knight who risked his life to break into the palace, and said coldly: "No matter the reason, kill!" ”

"Hoo ......"

Suddenly there was a sharp roar in the sky, and about seventy or eighty feathered arrows with triangular bronze arrows lined up in a neat line, drawing an extremely graceful arc in the air, and shooting diagonally at the knight. Based on the strength of the horseman's feet, he would fall into the rain of arrows.

The knight was obviously also a professional soldier who had experienced a hundred battles, and in the face of this overwhelming rain of arrows, he actually pulled out his dagger and stabbed him fiercely in the horse's stock, and the red horse let out a long neighing in pain, and kicked out with all four hooves, and took the knight to avoid the catastrophe of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart by a fraction of a millimeter.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the knight heard the sound of breaking wind in the air, and when he subconsciously raised his head, absolute fear suddenly rose in his eyes. This time, it turned out to be seventy or eighty throwing guns weighing twenty pounds.

The Praetorian Guards in front of the palace who threw these javelins were all heavy and brave, and in front of many ministers and noble ladies, they were even more deliberate to show off, as long as they looked at the heavy whistle of these javelins breaking through the wind, you can imagine that if they were really hit by the javelins, even if they were wearing two layers of bronze armor weighing thirty pounds, they were afraid that they would be pierced on the spot. What's even more terrifying is that the javelins projected this time have obviously calculated the various reactions that this knight may have used the horse's sprinting foot strength, seventy or eighty javelins with the unique formation of the charge of the Hundred Battle Heroes Division, as soon as they were thrown, they completely blocked all the escape routes of the knight in front and behind, left and right.

Faced with the net of javelins, the knight on the horse could actually stand up on horseback, flip a beautiful tendon in the air, and with the help of the horse's sprinting power and his amazing bounce power, he even rushed through the javelin rain dangerously. But the red steed he sat on was clearly not so lucky.

In the midst of the terrible howl, the whole horse was pierced by more than twenty javelins to the hard stone floor, like a thorn.

Before the knight landed, he took out a cloth bag from his bosom and roared wildly: "Eight hundred miles of emergency military intelligence report in the western region, the damned Qiang Fang barbarians have marched into trouble again, and have successively attacked twenty-one villages and towns in our country, with more than four thousand five hundred dead and wounded, and countless women who have been plundered ......."

Before he finished speaking, four Eyethunder Pattern Knives slashed at his body like lightning, and when he was about to cut this knight into five sections, the four first-class masters of the Red Tiger Battalion shouted loudly at the same time, and the Eyethunder Pattern Knife in their hands suddenly became as stable as Mount Tai, and it was dead on the knight's body. Feeling the terrifying sharpness coming from the blade, the knight involuntarily shuddered, and his face had changed color.

A squad leader of the Red Tiger Battalion reached out and took the cloth bag in the knight's hand, and after a few glances, he suddenly asked, "What is your name and what position?" ”

"Li Ting, the captain of the Blue Flag Battalion of the Western Front Army!"

"Okay, I remember!" The captain of the Red Tiger Battalion said coldly: "Your family will be taken care of, at least they will have no worries about food and clothing, and you can go with confidence!" ”

A Red Tiger Battalion soldier with a thunder pattern knife on the opponent's neck sank, and Li Ting, who rushed into the main hall to report the military situation at the risk of death, only felt a coldness flash on his neck, he reached out to cover his wound that was cut off at the same time trachea and neck artery, and looked at the Red Tiger Battalion squad leader in disbelief.

"You can send 800 miles of emergency military intelligence to Chaoge within two days, which is a great achievement, so even if your family is not in production, you can still enjoy the care of the military, as long as our Great Shang Dynasty does not die, they will lack food and clothing."

The Red Tiger Battalion Captain's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he shouted categorically: "But do you understand what the Chaoge Praetorian Guard is?!" ”

"Our mission is to protect the safety of the king with our own lives and defend the safety of Chaoge! Whoever dares to risk himself and carry a weapon to storm the forbidden land, for any reason or reason, is our enemy! ”

There was a solemnity all around, and everyone's momentum was shocked by the loud words of the Red Tiger Battalion Leader, and their ears were buzzing. The squad leader glared at Li Ting and shouted: "You ignored the ban and dared to carry a weapon and ride a fierce horse to force your way into the king's palace, which directly threatened the safety of the king, and even trampled the discipline and dignity of our great merchant king [***] under your feet!" The slogan of our Red Tiger Camp is to never let the meritorious not get rewarded, and never let the guilty escape punishment, what complaints do you have?! ”

Li Ting covered his neck and nodded, the resentful look in his eyes slowly dissipated, and the whole person fell to the ground.

He died convincingly!

The captain of the Red Tiger Battalion glanced at Li Ting's corpse, saluted him, and shouted: "He risked his life to break into the palace, just to convey military intelligence, he can be regarded as a dutiful soldier, and he was buried with the etiquette of treating heroes!" ”

The envoys of the various states who were hiding from the sidelines to watch the development of the incident all secretly gasped, they all looked at the captain of the Red Tiger Battalion with complicated expressions, with such a terrifying army, no wonder the king of the Great Shang can dominate the world!

Li Ting's body had just been dragged away, and in the square outside the main hall, there was a soft sound of horses' hooves hitting the stone slabs, and listening to the density of the horses' hooves, there were actually two light cavalry at the same time, and they broke in together. While riding their horses wildly, they waved the green cloth bags in their hands, and shouted in their mouths: "Eight hundred miles of emergency military intelligence report......

The Red Tiger Battalion Captain's eyes flashed, his arm was raised high and then waved down suddenly, and he resolutely shouted: "Kill!" ”
