Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 33 Turning Hands into Fire (10)

In the firelight, the city wall of Xuande Gate stands majestically. And under the city wall, countless armor soldiers ran and jumped, crowded into a ball, and countless blades were raised like a forest, pointing at the Xuande Tower where the fire was shining. Like the tide of the sea, it rises and falls, and it seems that a huge wave will roll up at any time, smashing the walls of the Great Song Imperial City!

For more than 100 years, the Great Song Dynasty has rebuilt the imperial city from Zhuliang since the time of Taizong, and has seen more than 100 years of ups and downs, the mystery of candlelight and axe shadows, the panic return of Taizong after the defeat of the Gaoliang River, the panic and shock in this imperial city when the Yuan Dynasty, and the absurd comedy of the book of heaven and Zen. The rise of the Western Xia and other battles such as the good water and the river were defeated three times in a row, and the elite soldiers of the four roads in Shaanxi were swept away, and the report of defeat came, and there was even a discussion in the imperial city to abandon the four roads of Shaanxi, according to the cowardice of Tongguan and guarding.

There are also red flags for thousands of miles of Hehuang opening the border and expanding the land, and the war against Yan turned defeat into victory, and the miraculous feats of overcoming Yanyun came from the south.

Generations of famous ministers have since entered, and they are ready to wield the central authority of this empire in order to fulfill their life's aspirations. But in the end, he was often physically and mentally exhausted in the ups and downs of the sea and the fierce party struggle, and he left with a gloomy face.

After a hundred years, the vitality of this empire gradually declined, and several emperors who acted lightly were met one after another, and Zhao Ji was the most successful. The entire system of rule has gradually collapsed.

In front of the Xuande Building, the supreme imperial power of the Zhao and Song saints represented has faded in color. In the course of two months, two rebels crowded in front of the building. Only this time, it was thousands of armor soldiers, waving their blades and shouting at this imperial city!

"Kill the thief Xiao and support the crown prince!"

The gate in front of the Xuande Building was closed, and the torch flame on the city wall was stirring. But only a few of them occasionally poked their heads and glanced down. For the clamor of the city. It was as if he was still overwhelmed by the shock.

Seeing such a reaction from the city, the rebel soldiers who kept pouring in under the city were even more excited. But no matter how excited his heart is, there is no way to take this city wall for a while.

The outer wall of the imperial city is three zhang high, the outside is wrapped in a strip of stone, and the inside is steamed rammed earth. The thickness is also as much as one zhang. Although a battle spread beneath the Imperial City, no matter how strong the walls were, they didn't help. But the kings of the past generations were always willing to build the imperial city tall and heavy. To proclaim the power of the center.

At this moment, these thousands of armor soldiers have armor, blades and horses, it is really a field battle, with the courage of the blood surging up at this moment, they dare to fight against those tigers under Xiao Yan's command. But without the slightest siege and door-breaking equipment, there is really no way to take this city wall for a while.

One by one, the soldiers of the chaotic army forgot how Xiao Yan pulled them out of the sea of suffering, and made up for them in the army.

"Straight thief, does Xiao thief only shrink his head? What about your Pingyan's majesty? What about the arrogance that you drove us to the east of the river to die? What are you holding the king's power hostage? It's not as good as grandpa's bird these days! ”

"If I don't go to Hedong to die, what can you do? We should eat this salary. The inheritance of the Gate Control Army has been eaten for a hundred years! Xiao thief, you deserve this report! ”

"Mother's. Xiao thief, do you have the courage to open the city and fight? Where's your ermine hat? Where's your bird swallow king? Just put it right with grandpa! ”

If it is said that the Gongwei Forbidden Army really has such a deep hatred with Xiao Yan, it may not be seen. But at this moment, it has come to this point, outside the imperial city, the blades are like a forest, if Xiao Yan is not punished, where is there room for retreat?

Just as countless armorers were scolding and shouting, a huge cheer was heard. More armor soldiers poured along the royal street, and among them, there was also the cart that Zhao Huan was sitting on!

Countless armor soldiers turned their heads to dance and salute in the direction of Zhao Huan, and their shouts resounded in the sky: "The prince is a saint!" The prince is a saint! ”

Zhao Huan, who was sitting on the car, was still the same thin and haggard appearance, thousands of armor soldiers surrounded him to express their loyalty to him, and he didn't see any joy and anger on his face, as if he was in another world.

When the fanaticism of the armor soldiers under the city reached its peak, the Xuande Gate was on the city wall, and suddenly hundreds of armor soldiers rushed up, each with two butter torches in their hands, blazing, and inserting them heavily on the side of the battlement.

Above the city, downstairs in Xuande, the fire is bright, and the qiē is reflected brightly. Then I saw a group of tiger warriors wearing mink hats, and one person rushed to the huge Xuande Building.

When he saw this person's figure clearly, the shouts and shouts of the soldiers under the city unconsciously lowered down. Zhao Huan, who was on top of the car, even changed his complexion, and he trembled in the car!

In front of the Xuande Building, the hand-held buttress stands proudly, which is naturally Xiao Yan, the king of Yan!

Countless eyes were focused on Xiao Yan, and the cheers and shouts of thousands of armor soldiers just now had all disappeared at this time. Countless blades were still held high, gently undulating and surging like waves.

Xiao Yan was dressed in black armor, which seemed to be on top of Bianliang's head, and his gaze turned coldly, sweeping over the countless armored rebels in front of him.

In front of the Xuande Building, under the light of the fire, for a while, only the sound of the gentle collision of the blades and armor could be heard, and there were countless heavy breaths in a row.

In the midst of all the attention, Xiao Yan smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: "Xiao is strict in governing the army and will never condone and appease. But daring to make trouble in front of Xiao is a capital crime and cannot be pardoned. At this moment, put down the blade and retreat to the camp, the capital crime is only for me, and it does not involve relatives! ”

No one expected that Xiao Yan would say these few words when he opened his mouth!

Ten thousand armies are pressing, and the prince is in the army. Xiao Yan's mansion was burned down, and he retreated into the imperial city in a hurry. Appearing at this moment, it is difficult to say that he has promised countless rewards in order to win a little bit of relief for these chaotic troops. When he spoke, he asked these thousands of armor soldiers, who were already in a frenzy, to let them retreat to the camp and wait for death!

Under the city wall, there was silence, how many people looked at each other, and suddenly I don't know how many chaotic army generals burst out and roared: "Break the imperial city and get rid of the thieves!" ”

This Xiao Yan, how can he not know to take a step back? When we joined the army, it was good for us to eat and pay us safely, and we confiscated so many access control military properties, and I didn't know one or two places to reward us. I also want to drive us to the east of the river to die! If so many industries share the army, and let us eat and pay in peace, we will only drive the military horses from other towns to fight in Hedong. How come we won't embrace you?

At this moment, I don't know that I have promised countless rewards for high-ranking officials. In exchange for us, we may be able to slow down the attack on the Imperial City a bit. On both sides of the odd goods can live. If you open your mouth, you will have no way out.

Straight mother thief, just if we can't kill you? You have to be a human being, too!

In the roar, the originally quiet blade jungle kept undulating, just like a huge wave finally rolling up, just wanting to drown Xiao Yan!

In the command of a chaotic army, when he left the camp, he carried a few rifle bows and crossbow machines, at this time. Just stretch out your bow and set up arrows, swish a few arrows, and shoot at Xiao Yan on the city wall!

At this time, Zhang Xian, who was standing one step behind Xiao Yan, shouted and snatched out. The horse lance in his hand shook hard, and between the buzzing sounds, the horse lance flew and knocked down several powerful arrows. The last arrow came slowly, and it was obvious that the archer was not good at shooting. Zhang Xian held the lance in his left hand and grabbed it in the air with his right hand. He grabbed the feathered arrow in his hand and knocked it on the battlement. And the feathered arrow was broken in two.

The eyebrows are clear, and every time he is on the court, when Zhang Xian, who has attracted countless Bianliang's daughters, shouts angrily at this time: "Do you know Jin Zhang Xian?" Just because you wait for these birds, do you still want to hurt King Yan? ”

When the feather arrow came at the face, Xiao Yan was still standing straight on the city wall, and his body did not move at all. In the end, he just coldly ordered: "The rebellious army is unforgivable, let it go!" ”

Hundreds of soldiers, there are mink hats left in Bianliang, there are Yan Wangzhi elite, and there are veterans of the Shenwu Changsheng Army who rushed into the front of the royal class, all turned over and stood in the gap of the battlements at this time. Hundreds of bows and crossbows opened, bowstrings trembled, and hundreds of arrows, with a powerful sound of breaking through the air, rushed into the seemingly boundless chaos under the city wall!

These hundreds of bows have a lot of battle marks, and according to the habits of their owners, they are either wrapped or wrapped, and none of them look similar. These bows and crossbows have followed their masters to fight thousands of miles, and in the countless tremors of the bowstrings, I don't know how many enemy lives have been taken!

And these elite warriors of the Yan King, each of them have traces of repaired armor, and many of them also wear mink hats that represent seniority and bravery. Trapped in Bianliang for a long time, he only felt that he was old, and he couldn't bear to see that almost everyone in this capital was the enemy of King Yan. At this time, I can finally follow King Yan again and let go of my hands and feet!

The feather arrow rushed into the crowd, and the blood splashed everywhere, and the screams in the crowd were heard and suddenly rang out to the ground. These armor soldiers, who were already approaching the city wall, saw that on the door of their brothers' chests, suddenly a trembling arrow shaft grew, and then fell to the ground heavily, stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, turned over and fled!

Thousands of soldiers are in a chaotic queue, and you squeeze and squeeze into a ball, trampling and beating each other. Screams and wails rang out. Two months of drills, can make them have a sense of obedience to the command, when they can generally maintain the queue, before thousands of people around the imperial city, they feel that their own army and horses are extremely strong, and the embers of the thief are not enough to level. But the feather arrows came straight at them, and their lives were taken away, and the first reaction of these chaotic troops was fear!

The rebel army desperately retreated, feathered arrows, bows and crossbows, and always had the might of a hundred tigers and wolves, even if the majority of the rebels were wearing armor, they could not afford it within fifty or sixty steps. The stronger rebel army still wants to retreat from the firing range, and the worse ones are just no other thoughts, just desperately rushing back!

For a moment, the team was in chaos. Even the direction of Zhao Huan's cart was chaotic, and the soldiers and soldiers who were guarding Zhao Kai around were waving their blades and slashing around, and shouted loudly, and the captains and generals who came to the aid of the Western Army ordered loudly in their voices: "The straight lady thief is stationed!" Where else can you retreat? The Western Army Brigade is coming to the aid immediately! ”

And a group of chaotic generals who have just been promoted to the commander-in-chief commander of various military trumpets and envoys to make Yu Hou envoys, with the support of the Western Military Academy here, also kicked and beat to stabilize their positions in the back: "There are bows and crossbows, shoot back!" The straight thief took a step back and was all beheaded by the thief! ”

In the midst of the chaotic army, I don't know how many people were shouting hoarsely, which barely stabilized the chaos just now. The rebel army brigade has already withdrawn seventy or eighty steps away. Under the imperial city, a figure turned over, and he died when he was hit by the vital point, and the wounded number struggled and wailed on the ground, which made the first time I saw the cruel rebel soldiers in the battle array, I only felt that my scalp was numb!

If the gates of the imperial city are wide open at this moment, and a team of armored cavalry is killed, I am afraid that thousands of chaotic troops will collapse. But today, Xiao Yan seems to have lost his keen sense on the battlefield, and the city gate is still tightly closed. Even the hundreds of archers on the city wall, throwing feather arrows downward, were only unhurried.

Under such circumstances, after more than 100 casualties, the rebel army barely stabilized its position seventy or eighty paces away. Among the scattered commanders of the chaotic army, there were also feathered arrows and arrows to fight back. However, after retreating so many steps, it is shown below, and there are few scattered branches that can reach the city wall. And those old soldiers under the command of King Yan were too lazy to dial, and the soft feather arrows attacked, either to protect their faces with iron arms, or simply to bow their heads, and these sporadic feather arrows splashed a little spark on the iron armor, and then fell softly.

Xiao Yan was always on the city wall, standing there straight, coldly watching these rebels barely stabilize their positions, and began to counterattack, only then nodded invisibly. Looking around again, there are still countless fires surging in the direction of the imperial city in the streets and alleys of Bianliang.

That's right, it's already at this point, and you should be in the end. It's not in vain that Lao Tzu releases water from beginning to end!

Let's go more violent!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The generals of the Western Army who were guarding the cart just stared at the city and the city and the city were indeed very watery. Although the feather arrows were densely exchanged in a short time, the damage to the two injuries was pitiful. Such sporadic casualties were still withstood by the chaotic army under the city, and gradually stabilized their position, but they were desperately trying to shoot the little arrows they were carrying, and the shouting and scolding of Xiao Yan, who had always stood upright on the city wall, sounded again in the chaos.

The general who led the Western Army shook his head, only feeling that it was a shame to be with these chaotic troops. When I turned my head and looked around, I saw that Bianliang was all around, and there were still people pouring in, and the team that was released more or less embraced some people wearing Wenchen robes. Some people were full of panic, looking at the low-level offensive scene in front of the imperial city in front of them, they were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they refused to come forward even if they were killed. Although some are also afraid, they can turn their hearts sideways and rush in the direction of Zhao Kai, who is the most eye-catching among the chaotic army. There is no doubt that the turbans are vying for the lead in this mutiny.

In the east, there was a large group of firelight, but a group of civil servants came for dozens of chaotic troops, followed by a large group of people and horses in disorderly uniforms, I am afraid that there are not as many as seven or eight hundred! The first was a nearly fifty-year-old Gang Yan Wenchen. From afar, he shouted: "What about the prince? What about the Prince? Ministers come to serve! And how many loyal and brave people have been brought by the former forbidden army! ”

How many people can see it under the lights, this group of people who look like civil servants are the former princelings headed by Geng Nanzhong, and there are also some scattered courtiers mixed around, and there are dozens or hundreds of students in green shirts. Everyone is excited!

And the group of people and horses they were carrying didn't know if they had opened the arsenal somewhere, and they were carrying dozens of weapons. There are iron-headed giant trees that hit the door, there are long and heavy side cards, there are fierce fire oil irrigation, and there are poisonous smoke wolf balls that are sent to the Guanxi Imperial Army Village all year round. Everyone shouted excitedly, looking at Xiao Yan's figure on the city wall, all of them were full of hatred!

And Zhao Heng, who was already frightened in the car, also saw Geng Nanzhong's killing, his dull eyes finally became a little more flexible, and he almost cried: "Master Geng............ Geng Shi!! (To be continued......)
