Chapter 374: Scuffle (2)
The smoke and dust were billowing out, and Guo Huai took more than a hundred shadows to the east gate of Chang'an City.
Xu Ji was mixed in with this.
The rest of the men, under the leadership of Shi A, lurked in the nearest woods on the outskirts of Chang'an, so as to rush into Chang'an City in the shortest possible time after the move.
Not long after, Guo Huai led his group to the east gate of Chang'an City. At this time, it was still early, the sky was just slightly bright, coupled with Wang Yun's order and the reason for the current tense situation in Chang'an City, there were no pedestrians at the gate of Chang'an City at all.
The guards of the east city gate saw Guo Huai's arrival from a distance at the head of the city, and hurriedly went down to the city to open the city gate and respectfully welcome Guo Huai's return.
Guo Huai put on his official prestige, rode a horse and came to the city gate with a gloomy face.
The guard hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Guo Huai, why do you go and return?" Guo Huai snorted coldly and said, "Where is your turn to ask about the official's affairs?" Hurry up and get me into town, I have something important. ”
When the guard saw that he was slapped on the horse's leg, where did he dare to speak? Hurriedly get out of the way and let Guo Huai enter the city.
When Xu Ji saw this scene, he had an idea, came to Guo Huai's side, held a silver spear in his hand, and said respectfully: "General Guo, didn't you say that you would gather the generals guarding the east gate in the city guard?" Guo Zhun was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, knowing that Xu Ji had other plans, and hurriedly shouted to the guard: "That's right, you go and call all the generals of Dongcheng to the city guards, and the official has something to look for them." ”
The guard did not suspect him, and hurriedly answered the order and left.
Xu Jiyou glanced at Guo Zhun, and Guo Zhun said to Xu Ji proudly: "You come with this official." Leave some men here to guard the gates of the city for their officials. No suspicious characters are allowed to wait until I get back. Xu Ji clenched his fists.
Guo Huai left more than 50 people to stay at the city gates. Just in case. After all, there is no one at the city gate. It was not good for the party, after Guo Huai ordered everything, he and Xu Ji took away the remaining fifty people, and Shi Shiran rushed to the city guard.
After arriving at the city guard station, Xu Ji waved his hand, and more than fifty phantom shadows swarmed up, quickly putting down the few guards who were originally in the city guard station, and dragging them to a place where no one noticed. Where did those guards think that these own people in the uniforms of the Central Army would suddenly attack themselves. Coupled with the extraordinary skills of the Shadow Land, he was caught off guard and was subdued without even making a sound.
In an instant. The city guard has become Xu Ji's world.
Xu Ji and Guo Huai immediately entered the hall of the city guard and waited for the arrival of a large and small general at the east gate of Chang'an City. A short time later, someone came in to report that the generals had arrived. Xu Ji and Guo Huai looked at each other and smiled. And he commanded them to be brought in.
Those generals at the east gate of Chang'an City were not afraid of deceit, and there were more than 20 people in total who followed the shadows who led them in. Leading his own guards, he walked inward, and many people yawned as they walked, apparently before they woke up. When they enter the lobby. Suddenly, he noticed that all his followers were intercepted at the door, and the door slammed behind him.
At the same time, there was the sound of crossbow firing and screams outside, apparently the guards had been mishapn. These people looked at each other. The leader looked at Xu Ji and Guo Huai, who were standing in front of him at this time. He was stunned and said, "General Guo Huai, what happened?" ”
Guo Huai didn't speak, but Xu Ji stood in front of these people. Said leisurely: "You don't need to know what's going on, just cooperate with General Ben obediently." ”
These generals saw Guo Huai standing aside and smiled and didn't speak. A small soldier stood there arrogantly talking, and it became even more inexplicable. One of them shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to talk like this here and in front of General Guo Huai......" The voice has not yet fallen. A string sound sounded, and the black light flashed, and the general who was talking loudly to Xu Ji had already fallen in a pool of blood, moaning loudly.
Everyone was startled, and jumped to the side, looking at the man who had fallen to the ground at this time, only to see that the man was holding his thigh and crying wolf and crawling on the ground, and on his thigh, there was a crossbow arrow that ran through it and flashed even colder.
Xu Ji's eyes forced a cold look, and he said indifferently: "You have to make it clear that you are only qualified to obey my orders now, and you are not qualified to ask any questions, otherwise you will have the consciousness of death!" There was no emotion in the voice, as if it was coming from a group of lifeless stone statues. Xu Ji's cold attitude without warning before and after the shot and the cold and ruthless taste in his words were really more terrifying than his fierce eyebrows and angry eyes.
Everyone looked at the unfathomable soldier in front of them, and they only felt that the young man in front of them exuded a strong self-confidence, and the feeling that everything in heaven and earth was in his hands made them feel suffocated for a while.
Finally, someone couldn't help it, shouted and drew the saber at his waist, and the others woke up like a dream and wanted to take action. The sound of bows and crossbows rang out continuously, like locust arrows shot out from different angles, concentrating the blades of those people's long swords, and the strong force made those generals who had been living a pampered life like a lightning strike, and their bodies trembled.
In the next moment, more than a dozen special forces soldiers came out vigilantly from all corners of the hall with repeater crossbows, and everyone's steps were as light as cats.
The generals' faces turned pale, and the discovery that someone finally shouted, 'They are the Yanzhou army, and they have arrow boxes in their hands' made everyone panic for a while. Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood, it seems that as the war progresses, the weapons and equipment of the Yanzhou Army are no longer a secret, just like in front of him.
However, if you know it, the weapons and equipment of the Yanzhou Army are actually difficult to imitate, after all, there is no necessary technology, and there is probably no one in the world who can imitate it except for the workshops in Yanzhou.
However, with the exposure of the Yanzhou army's weapons, the war pattern of this era will change dramatically. But it's something that can't be helped. The enemy is not a puppet that cannot think, and the greatest skill of human beings is to create, especially in the field of warfare.
Take the simplest military uniform, for example, since ancient times. One will pay attention only to the effect of military uniforms and armor on visually stimulating morale, but in modern warfare. This effect has disappeared, and attention has been paid to wearing combat clothing with a protective color depending on the environment.
Now the weapon in his hand must have been noticed by many well-intentioned people. Although it is very unlikely that someone else will be able to imitate it, it will lead to a change in the enemy's tactics. It seems that I will have to come up with something new in the future.
Xu Ji thought of this. Shout: "Shut up!" Otherwise, you won't be killed! ”
Immediately, the hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at Xu Ji, who was smiling like a demon, and was silent for a while, even the injured general Zuo who fell to the ground. I was sweating profusely, not daring to make the slightest sound. The Yanzhou army has always done what it says, and if this little soldier-like person has to make a voice after saying this, it will undoubtedly be self-defeating.
Xu Ji sat down leisurely and said softly: "I am Xu Ji, the assassin of Yanzhou." ”
Xu Ji? Everyone in the hall had a dreaming feeling, but it was a nightmare for them. Guo Huai stood up at the right time. Leng Ran said: "You just need to be obedient." I can guarantee the lives of you and your families, or else. Hmph, the gods can't save you from the earth. ”
Although these people are not very good at fighting, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, but in Chang'an, what they know best is to observe words and looks, they saw Guo Huai, Wang Yundi's henchman, would stand on Xu Ji's side, and immediately knew that Wang Yun had fallen into Xu Ji's calculations, but it can be said that Wang Yun was already defeated at this time, and no one would be willing to stand up for a dying person.
So they nodded their heads. Surprising collaboration. Seeing this, Xu Ji smiled and said, "That's the best, then we can have a good talk." ”
After half a cup of tea, these earth-colored generals came out of the city guard with their heads down, under the orders of Xu Ji and Guo Huai. Start doing your own thing. In order to prevent them from changing their hexagrams halfway, Xu Ji made two shadows around each person, which was called personal protection. Guo Huai and the guard came to the city gate. The former winked at the latter. The guard hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xu Ji, who was smiling all over his face. Immediately, he shuddered, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers beside him: "You open the city gate for me." Later, some of the defenders of Tongguan will come to Chang'an. ”
Although the soldiers around him felt strange, they naturally did not dare to disobey the orders from above, so they obediently opened the city gate.
This is the advantage of controlling all the generals, because no one will raise objections at all, and even if any soldier has doubts, he will not ask, after all, the soldier knows very little things, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of an order.
The east gate of Chang'an City slowly opened, and it didn't take long for Shi A to appear with the rest of the army.
After a while, Shi A Zongma came to the front, with surprise on his face, after all, according to the agreement, they were killed in the city, and now this peaceful situation was really beyond his expectations, but when he saw Xu Ji and Guo Huai and the helpless guard, Shi A immediately understood, and secretly praised in his heart. didn't say much, and immediately led a large group of men and horses into the city without danger. Seeing his army slowly enter Chang'an City, Xu Ji's heart was full of joy, leaving 1,000 people at the gate of the East City, ready to respond at any time, and 1,000 people climbed the city wall to occupy the commanding heights.
The soldiers were bloodless, and the east of Chang'an City had become Xu Ji's sphere of influence.
Subsequently, Xu Ji, Guo Huai, and Shi A led the rest of the men to march towards Wang Yun's mansion. At this time, it was too early, and only a few pedestrians appeared on the streets of Chang'an City. The absence of a crowd is naturally very beneficial to Xu Ji's side, as the army advances, from time to time there are ghosts who automatically leave the team, they occupy various important places in the east city of Chang'an in groups of three or five, and when there are still two streets to Wang Yun's mansion, there are already a thousand people who have been dispersed, and only more than a thousand people are left to follow around.
Turning another street, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, looking at Wang Yun's Mansion in the distance, Xu Ji said to Guo Huai: "Boji, I'll be at Wang Yun's Mansion later." You call the door first. ”
Guo Huai nodded and said, "I know." Xu Ji has a big heart, and now this situation is the best situation he can think of, so he doesn't know how much loss has been reduced. As he spoke, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the other side. When Xu Ji and the others looked at each other in amazement, they saw a group of more than 300 cavalry coming from a distance. Guo Huai looked at it and said with a solemn face: "It's not good, it's Wang Chen." It seems that there is something to report to Wang Yun...... Maybe it's Lu Bu's news. ”
Xu Ji waved his hand, signaling his people to prepare to do it, and then said indifferently: "Boji doesn't have to think about it. The presence of our large group of people here is already suspicious, and things cannot be good here. Let's find a way to catch Wang Chen by surprise. I'll keep him for some other purpose, so that's fine. lest you have to bother to catch Wang Chen after catching Wang Yun again, causing unnecessary failure. ”
At this time, Shi Ah jumped off the horse, flashed, and disappeared from the crowd.
Guo Zhun was stunned. Xu Ji said: "Your master is a celebrity in Chang'an City, Wang Chen must know him, Brother Shi is afraid that he will lose the opportunity to do it." It's time to hide, and you have to seize the opportunity. ”
Guo Zhun nodded when he heard this, and at this time, Wang Chen took the lead. had already come to the opposite side of Guo Zhun and shouted: "The person in front is Guo Bojihu?" Guo Huai shouted: "Exactly, Brother Wang Chen, you are not guarding the city gate, what are you doing here?" Xu Ji was very happy in his heart. This Guo Huai really has a set, in order to confuse Wang Chen, he simply came to a wicked person to sue first, and he was so confident.
Wang Chen's war horse did not stop, and at this time he had already come to a place dozens of meters away from Xu Ji and the others. Hearing this, he said: "I have an urgent military situation of Lu Bu's army to tell my uncle, how. Is there an accident at the East City Gate? Then he looked at the army in front of him suspiciously, and found that although the equipment of this army was excellent, it was definitely not the equipment of the Central Army. A little surprised: "Berji, where is this troops?" Do we have this elite division in Chang'an City? At this time, Wang Chen's more than 300 people entered the range of the Yanzhou military land. A strange sound rang out on the ground, and more than 100 powerful arrows were shot out from the repeater. Rained down on the enemy, and for a moment people flipped on their backs. Flesh and blood splattered, and most of them fell off their horses. By the time the second round of arrows was fired, no one remained on the horse, and either fell to the ground with casualties or rolled off the horse.
Wang Chen and his men were caught off guard and killed and injured more than half of Xu Ji's Phantom Shadow Fu were scattered in a hurry.
This originally peaceful and peaceful street of Chang'an City has become a hell on earth in an instant. Although the group of soldiers under Wang Chen is the elite of the defenders of Chang'an City, they practice day and night, and their strength is strong, but they were shot by a burst of crossbows and prematurely ejaculated, and there were many wounded, and the number was even more disproportionate, where was there still the power to parry? In the blink of an eye, he fled without a trace, and he didn't know whether to run for his life or report the news.
Only Wang Chen was shot inexplicably by a burst of crossbow arrows, panicked, and stood there at a loss, before he remembered whether he should run away or enter Wang Yun's mansion to report the news, his neck was cold, and a long sword was already across his throat, just afraid that his blood would be splashed on the spot if he moved slightly, and immediately, Shi A's face appeared in front of his eyes. Wang Chen was very familiar with Shi A, the first swordsman of the Han Dynasty, and when he saw Shi A's face, he immediately knew whose army this elite army was in front of him, and he couldn't help but snort miserably.
"Brother Wang Chen, I hope you will abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and cooperate with my lord." In the next moment, Guo Huai appeared in front of Wang Chen and said in an extremely sincere tone.
Wang Chen spat on the ground and said disdainfully: "Guo Huai, my uncle treats you well, why did you betray his old man." You must know that the Wang family and your Guo family are both famous families in the state, and they have always been dependent on each other, and our Wang family wants to marry my sister to you, how can you be worthy of our Wang family now? When Guo Huai heard this, he looked excited, and he wanted to say something but held back. Wang Chen, Guo Huai did this to protect your Wang family, don't know what to do. Xu Ji sat on the horse and came to Wang Chen, without looking at the moaning wounded on the ground, Guo Huai called the lord on the side.
Wang Chen looked at Xu Ji in surprise, he didn't expect this Yanzhou military god to suddenly appear in Chang'an. Xu Ji didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said indifferently: "Your brother Wang Ling has fully cooperated with my Yanzhou, what is the reason for you to think about it yourself, hmph, I will say all this, is it worth it to fight against my Yanzhou for Wang Yun, a person who has a lot of discord with your father?" Think more about your family! As soon as Wang Chen heard that his brother Wang Ling had surrendered to the Yanzhou army, he shouted in disbelief: "Impossible!"
Xu Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he asked someone to take Wang Chen into custody, and ordered someone to go outside the city to bring Emperor Han Xian and Wang Ling to the city, and then raised the silver gun in his hand and shouted: "Come with me!"
Xu Ji galloped to the door of Wang Yun's mansion with a horizontal gun, and the shadows that originally blocked this side spread out like a tide. In that dream-like silver light, thousands of gun shadows disappeared, and only the entity of the silver gun appeared on the gate of Wang Yun's mansion.
With a "boom", the door panel was as fragile as paper paste, and the sawdust of the broken door panel turned into thousands of butterflies scattered and flew out for a long time.
Xu Ji bore the brunt of it and killed it.
The people behind him who witnessed Xu Ji's miraculous performance reacted and roared and killed him. Guo Huai, a person who was familiar with the terrain of Wang Yun's mansion, commanded at the door, and asked some shadows to go around the back door and the secret passage to prevent Wang Yun from escaping.
The scene that happened at the door just now had already alarmed the people of the palace, so as soon as Xu Ji and the others entered, a large group of guards from Wang Yun's mansion came out in formation.
At this time, most of the shadows were still blocked at the doorway, unable to form a battle formation to effectively kill and injure the enemy. Xu Ji judged the situation, shouted, and broke into the first round of the battle formation like lightning on a single horse, and the silver spear passed through, and the enemies fell down with blood, screaming all over the sky.
Shi A is naturally around Xu Ji, killing people when he sees them, and those who block them are invincible.
The Battle of Chang'an finally began. (To be continued......)
