Chapter 375: Dogfight (3)
In an instant, the attacks of the first guards in Wang Yun's mansion collapsed. Most of them fell to the ground in blood, howling and groaning. After all, Xu Ji's spear and Shi A's sword were not something that these people could resist.
Xu Ji didn't look at the injured person in front of him, turned his head, and saw that the shadows of the brigade had already formed a battle formation outside the mansion gate behind him, so he shouted to Guo Huaigao outside the mansion: "Boji, you leave a thousand people outside the mansion, guard the outside for me, and kill all those who come to the rescue later and don't know the times!" Guo Huai agreed outside, Xu Ji looked coldly at the courtyard deep Ruhai Wangfu, and said to the shadow behind him without looking back: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, remember my Yanzhou's military law, you are not allowed to kill innocent servants, women and children, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" Brother Shi leads the way, go! ”
Shi A received the order, led more than 200 people to form a formation, and slaughtered like a broken bamboo to the inner mansion where Wang Yun's office was on weekdays. They had just passed through the long corridor of the garden, and the Shiduo Ming guards, who were leading the hounds and going straight to the small pavilion in front of them, suddenly saw so many people coming, and were shocked, the crossbow arrows had already been shot like locusts, and immediately the people and dogs fell together in a pool of blood.
It seemed that their direction and panicked look knew that they didn't know what was going on in the house. Shi A is overjoyed, in this way, his mission is much more convenient: to attack the unprepared with mental calculation, there are no invincibles. Shi Ah and they killed people when they saw them, and they acted extremely quickly, and the guards on the road leading to the inner house were put to the ground like they cut melons and vegetables. On the other hand. Xu Ji encountered fierce resistance, and led his shadows to run a few feet away. Hundreds of guards from Wang Yun's Mansion pierced out on the left and right in front of them, each of whom was armed with weapons for long-distance combat. The dozens of guards at the front were covered in armor, holding a wooden shield that was more than half a person tall in one hand to protect their figures. The other hand attacked with spears and heavy swords and other weapons. Xu Ji, the person who rushed to the front, was of course the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and he only saw those guards. Loud shouting. Stabbed at Xu Ji's mount. Seeing this, the Phantom quickly put away his repeater, drew his saber and military axe from his backhand, and swarmed up. Looking at the equipment of these Wang Yun guards, you can know that they are the elite of Wang Yun's mansion, and the lethality of the crossbow is really limited to this kind of soldiers who are covered in armor and have shield hands in front of them, so they will change their battle orders, swords and military axes. Prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
Xu Ji saw that these guards didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they were actually afraid of death to attack their beloved war horses. For a while, the murderous power in his heart was great, and a long whistle sounded. The momentum was steep, not retreating, but advancing, rushing into the enemy formation like lightning, and the spear in his hand shot out dreamily, turning into thousands of silver rays in an instant, raining down on the shield in front of him.
The enemies whose shields were lit by the silver spears all shook violently, their mouths cracked, their arms numb, and they threw their shields to the ground with screams. Just a moment's work. The seemingly invulnerable battle array was messed up by Xu Ji. This is an inevitable result, although it is difficult to deal with dozens of enemies at the same time. But it is not impossible, Xu Ji's gun moves are the group combat marksmanship inherited from Chen Zhi, the strength is extremely strong, and he can use inertia to continue to attack and expand the range. So the average person simply can't resist.
Of course, after such an attack, Xu Ji's war horse also lost its impact. The power of the silver spear in his hand naturally weakened, so Xu Ji's second move would be a flexible move. Otherwise, there will be no way to continue. However, at this moment, because of the retreat of those shield bearers, the pace of the enemy's attack behind was hindered. was blocked behind him, and he couldn't approach Xu Ji's three zhang for a while, so he couldn't be blessed with Xu Ji's follow-up killing moves.
Seeing Xu Ji proudly sitting on a war horse like a god and invincible, those phantoms were boiling with blood, and suddenly bullied up, wielding a knife and slashing, raising an axe to slash, not afraid of the distance advantage of the enemy's heavy attacking weapons, the enemy who was a little chaotic was attacked by this, and hurriedly waved his weapon to block, how did he know that the swords were crossed, and the spears were immediately broken into two, and the cold light penetrated the body, and they all turned over and died. It is important to know that the weapons of this era paid more attention to the hardness, among which the weapons made of "100 steel" were the most famous, but while pursuing hardness, the weapons also became very brittle and easy to break. That's why there will be a scene in front of you.
All of a sudden, the enemy who encountered the Phantom Slashing Saber could only die with a sword.
At this moment, the sound of slashing came from the direction outside the house, waving like a tidal wave, and the feeling of shouting and killing was really tragic. It seems that Wang Yun's reinforcements have arrived after hearing the news, and he has to speed up his actions, Xu Ji thought secretly. With a loud roar, Xu Ji shot again, swept far and near, and everywhere he went, the corpse flew sideways.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Ji defeated twice as many enemies as he had and quickly moved inside.
At this time, a second fierce battle was going on outside the gate of Wang Yun's mansion.
Wang Yun's army was quickly killed after Xu Ji and others rushed into Wang Yun's mansion and did not take long to kill. As soon as he entered the street, Guo Huai dispersed to the whole field first, and the phantoms who held all the strategic positions of the street shot them with cross-sniper crossbows and repeaters. The cavalry was caught off guard, screamed and screamed, and fell to the ground with arrows, without even a chance to counterattack. It was a complete shock formation, but it immediately collapsed, and the war horse that lost its owner was even more rampage, and it became a mess.
The phantoms lying in ambush on the rooftops on both sides of the street judged the situation, and according to the changes in the battlefield below the street and the movement of the enemy's soldiers and horses, they constantly ran on the eaves and walls of the houses, changing various formations to shoot the enemy. Each of them is constantly firing with lightning speed, constantly changing their boxes. Seeing that the frontal assault could not be effective and suffered heavy casualties, the enemy wanted to go around to the other side to raid, but he did not know that Guo Huai, the head snake of Chang'an, had already prepared, and as soon as he entered the other street, rows of crossbow arrows were shot out accurately. Caught these enemies off guard, they fell in rows. Once again, the offensive was disintegrated.
In a short time, the ground was full of enemies groaning in pain in pools of blood, and the situation was terrible. The defenders of the eastern city were extremely quiet. Although the shouting of killing was already shaking the sky at this time, there was no order from the guards of Dongcheng. Which soldier dares to move? Almost all of those guards are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are two evil stars waiting by their side. It's terrifying to stare at and kill people at every turn, and not care about other people's lives. That's why Dongcheng will be quiet. Therefore. All of a sudden. The Yanzhou army had an absolute advantage. But Guo Huai knew that this advantage would not last long, and he only had a thousand shadows in his hands. Although there are basically no casualties on the side, there are also crossbows and other divine weapons. But the repeater is not omnipotent. At least at the same time as increasing the lethality, the consumption of all arrows is also very huge, but I am afraid that it will not take long, and the crossbow will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Therefore, in the final analysis, the victory of the war is still on Xu Jidi. If you can't take Wang Yun quickly, then you can only withdraw from Chang'an City. Xu Ji and Shi A naturally did not disappoint Guo Huai. When the battle outside the mansion was at its worst, Xu Ji and Shi A had already broken into the hall where Wang Yun was.
Wang Yun, who was in the palace, was pacing back and forth, and he still didn't know who the enemy was who suddenly appeared, but he knew that the danger was coming. and prepared to flee. But after all, the enemy will suddenly appear in Chang'an City, obviously because there is an internal response in Chang'an City, if he rashly escapes from the secret passage, maybe it will be within the expectation of the other party, so he will send someone to the secret passage in the mansion to inquire about whether it is safe, and he is anxious, but he saw a group of wolf-like men pouring into the hall under the leadership of Shi A, and stood up in a panic. More than a dozen guards in the hall had fallen to the ground one after another under the sound of crossbow machines, and none of them were spared. Wang Yuncai was about to escape, but saw a flash of lightning in front of him. The man had been forced into the corner, and a sharp long sword was across his neck, and Wang Yun's face was immediately dead.
"Lord Wang Yun. It's been a long time, but do you still recognize me? Shi Ah said leisurely.
Wang Yun didn't know who the enemy was at this time. Reluctantly snorted, "Where is Xu Ji?" Before the words fell, a loud sound sounded on the wall next to him. The entire wall on the left completely collapsed, and for a moment it was dusty and covered everyone's eyes.
In the swirling smoke, Xu Ji's convincing but extremely clear voice came in: "Lord Wang Yun, it's really my honor to miss me Xu Ji so much!" I think that when I came down to Chang'an, I was the identity of Yu Xuan, but I was valued so much by Lord Situ and gave me a beloved daughter, Xu Ji has to be grateful every time he thinks about it! The words were full of mockery.
Wang Yun's face changed when he heard this. Xu Ji had already appeared in front of Wang Yundi at this time, and snorted coldly: "But your good daughter can't come to see you anymore, but Lord Situ is not in a hurry, I believe that your father and daughter will meet soon." ”
Wang Yun still has deep feelings for his "goddaughter", and the muscles on his face couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and said hatefully: "Xu Ji, hello!" In vain, you are also a hero in the world, and you would actually attack a powerless woman, are you not afraid of the ridicule of the world? Xu Ji snorted coldly and said, "Lord Wang Yun can't help but think too much, that precious daughter of yours was actually raped and killed by the Yuan master sent by Yuan Shao to kidnap my mother, because they mistakenly thought it was my wife." ”
Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, and instantly aged several years.
Xu Ji nodded and sighed lightly: "Lord Situ, compared to Yuan Shao, I am naturally much more merciful, don't worry, I will soon ask you to be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate." Wang Yun's face changed dramatically again, obviously because he heard that Xu Ji already knew his ** relationship with his "goddaughter", if this kind of thing was spread, it would be more uncomfortable for him than a thousand cuts.
However, Wang Yunai is an old fox, and now that his goddaughter is dead, there is no proof of death, so why should he be afraid? Snorted coldly and said: "General Xu, the old man is not in the mood to fight with you haha, as for what you said, the old man is even more inexplicable, I only ask you, what do you mean by this today?" openly hijacked the imperial court officials, and killed countless people in Chang'an City, what is the intention? ”
Xu Ji said indifferently: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to beg the thief by order!" Wang Yun said inexplicably: "What is the order to beg for thieves?" …… What the? You ...... "Wang Yun is a masterpiece of a generation after all." immediately understood the subtext of Xu Ji's words, and said in disbelief: "You...... Could it be you...... The Holy One has been found? ”
He immediately smiled and said, "Since you have found the Holy One." The old minister wants to go to the saint to defend himself, and he wants the saint to be the master of the old minister, and see who is the traitor! ”
Xu Ji's eyes shot a cold, and he said coldly: "Lord Wang Yun, I'm afraid that this is just because of you, do you think I will give you this opportunity?" However, I advise you to dispel this idea, you secretly colluded with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shaodi, and the saint already knows everything. Wang Yun's face was suddenly extremely ugly. For a long time, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have always refused to recognize Liu Xie's status as emperor out of their own interests, Yuan Shao wants to use Liu Yu, and Yuan Shu simply becomes the emperor himself. Of course, Liu Xie knew these things, so Liu Xie had a lot of dissatisfaction with the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Now Liu Xie already knows his relationship with these two people. I'm afraid that I already hate myself to the extreme, where does I still have a chance with Liu Xie? Look at Xu Ji with a sneer on his face in front of him. Wang Yun was more sure of his thoughts. Looking at Wang Yun, Xu Ji smiled and said, "I might as well tell you that Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu are my Xu Ji's people." And your nephew Wang Ling has already fully cooperated with me Yanzhou on behalf of the Wang family, see how you can deny it! "
When Wang Yun heard this, he looked at Xu Ji in disbelief, obviously stunned by Xu Ji's words.
Then Wang Yun sighed, closed his eyes, and stopped talking. Xu Ji said coldly to Shi A: "Brother Shi, let's go out of the mansion." Shi Ah nodded. A wave of the hand. The two phantoms escorted Wang Yun out like wolves.
When Xu Ji and Shi A, as well as the embarrassed Wang Yun appeared at the gate of Wang Yun's mansion, the streets of Chang'an were already stained red with blood.
When Guo Huai saw that Wang Yun was escorted out, he was overjoyed and greeted him, Xu Ji laughed and patted him on the shoulder and praised him. Wang Yun saw the intimacy of Xu Ji and Guo Huai, and immediately understood what was going on. Seeing Wang Yun's resentful look, Shi A punched Wang Yun in the stomach and snorted coldly: "What do you look at the old horseman, Guo Huai is my Shi A's apprentice." It's your own old eyes that are dizzy, and you have nothing to do with others! ”
When Wang Yun heard that Guo Huai was Shi A's apprentice, he couldn't help but show a look of extreme annoyance.
Turning his head to see his nephew Wang Chenmu standing aside expressionlessly, now he was also arrested. I couldn't help but sigh, knowing that I was now gone, so I stopped talking. It's just that his eyes are flashing, and he doesn't know what the hell he is thinking. Then. There were more and more enemies attacking from the opposite side, if it weren't for the narrowness of the streets. Now I'm afraid it's already hand-to-hand combat.
There was another burst of fire, and the enemy attacked again unfavorably, and the tide receded.
Seeing this, Xu Ji rode his horse to the front of the two armies and shouted, "Who is the leader on the other side?" Come out and see my Yanzhou Thorn Shi Xu Ji! If I don't stop, I don't dare to guarantee the safety of Da Situ Wang Yun. ”
As soon as these words came out, the army on the opposite side was in an uproar. Xu Ji? It turned out that the army on the opposite side was the Yanzhou Army. What did he say? He said he caught Lord Wang Yun?
After a while, a few war horses slowly came out, and I saw several civil and military officials sitting on the horses.
One person shouted: "The person on the other side is Yanzhou Thorn Shi Xu Ji? "
Shi A has been in Chang'an for a long time, and he is naturally very familiar with these civil and military officials, so he came to Xu Ji's side and said in a low voice: "Lord, it is Dahonglu Zhou Huan who speaks. Looking at the fat face of Da Honglu Zhou Huan, Xu Ji nodded and said loudly: "It turned out to be Lord Da Honglu Zhou Huan, since you can preside over this matter, then please withdraw these troops, so that we can talk."
Before Da Honglu Zhou Huan could speak, a black-faced man next to him shouted: "Xu Ji, what is your identity?" Dare to talk to Lord Zhou Huan like this, although you are a concubine, you are already a prince from other places, and you don't guard the territory for the Son of Heaven, but you are killing here. also arrested Lord Situ Wang Yun, what are your intentions? Is there any law of the imperial court?"
Shi Ah snorted coldly on the side and said, "This person is Wang Qi, the captain of the Yue Cavalry, and he is a talent." A cold glint flashed in Xu Ji's eyes, and he sneered: "Lord Wang Ji, you have to make it clear that I, Xu Ji, am the courtier of today's son, not Wang Yun or other people's courtiers?" Accusing me of not guarding the territory of the Han Dynasty for the Son of Heaven? Joke! I Xu Ji don't need to prove it to you, tomorrow is on top, where to find you to talk more!"
The servant Lu Kui was trembling with anger on the side, and pointed at Xu Ji and said, "Xu Ji Xiao'er. Do you recognize the old man? It is really intolerable that he dares to use the order of the Son of Heaven to murder the minister of the state!"
This person Xu Ji knew, after all, he was a close minister of Liu Xiedi, and said with a slight smile: "It turned out to be Lord Lu Kui, the servant." It's a pity that you are the teacher of the saint and the saint is not in Chang'an now, but I have a few questions to ask the servant, how much do you know about Wang Yundi? How do you know that I am killing innocents indiscriminately, and how do you know that I, Xu Ji, are not on the orders of the current saint to arrest Wang Yun? ”
Three questions in a row. He was speechless when he asked the servant Lu Kui.
Changshui Lieutenant Chongji was annoyed and ashamed, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Xu Ji, Hugh wants to take advantage of his tongue again, and wait for my Changshui Lieutenant Seed Ji to take down your dog thief ......" Before the words were finished, Changshui Lieutenant Chongji had already turned over and fallen off the horse, and a carved arrow pierced the right arm of Changshui Lieutenant Chongji.
When everyone came back to their senses, they saw Xu Ji putting away his bow and arrows not far away. Obviously, this arrow was shot by Xu Ji.
With the support of the soldiers who rushed forward, Captain Changshui was helped down in a miserable way.
Everyone in the Yanzhou army showed a disdainful expression. Naturally, he looked down on the posture of the captain of Changshui. Prince Shilang, who had not spoken, was furious, he didn't expect Xu Ji to do it as he spoke. When he was about to speak, Xu Ji had already said solemnly: "Yanzhou Assassin Xu Ji was ordered by the Son of Heaven to arrest Wang Yun, anyone who intends to block it will be regarded as the same party, and there will be no forgiveness for killing, just now it was just a warning, you adults are careful of your words." Otherwise, huh! Hugh blames Xu Ji for being welcome!"
Wang Zifu's face turned white with anger, and he shouted: "Xu Ji, which family is the son of heaven who you serve?"
"It was the widow who asked Xu Qing's family to do this! Who would dare to disobey? A young child's voice came. As the voice came, the Yanzhou army parted like a tide, and at the same time knelt on the ground and said long live. When Xu Ji heard the voice, he knew that Liu Xie had arrived, and he called it wonderful in his heart, with Liu Xie here, the overall situation has been decided, otherwise the situation in front of him is really a bit of a headache, it seems that Wang Yun is quite skillful, and there are so many people who are in trouble in front of him. If there is no Liu Xiedi, today is bound to be bad, and it is even more foolish to control Chang'an.
Everyone was stunned, and Liu Xie, whose face was sinking like water, had already sat on the horse and came to Xu Ji's side. With a wave of his hand, he exempted Xu Ji from the salute, and said with a frosty mask: "Ladies and gentlemen, isn't the order of the widow the order of the Son of Heaven?" Xu Ji looked at Liu Xie, who was calm and composed. secretly applauded in his heart, in the end, he was the one who was used to being the emperor. The momentum of the speech is naturally different.
Looking at Liu Xie, who suddenly appeared, everyone on the opposite side was stunned.
To know. Chang'an has been looking for Liu Xie for a long time, although it is always said that it can be found, but as the time goes on, everyone no longer has any hope, anyway, the days without the emperor are not incorrigibly bad. But now Liu Xie suddenly appeared, which immediately overwhelmed everyone and froze for a while.
The originally high-spirited crowd was immediately like a deflated ball, and they didn't dare to shout loudly with Xu Ji anymore.
Xu Ji was very happy in his heart, and turned his head to look at Wang Yun's nephew Wang Ling, who was brought with Liu when he collaborated, as soon as this kid arrived here, he immediately dismounted and ran to his brother Wang Chen, and whispered to him for a while, the latter immediately turned pale and nodded again and again, obviously because Wang Ling had said that he wanted to cooperate with Xu Ji. After all, the interests of the family are much more important than Wang Yun's personal life.
Xu Ji turned his head to look at the people on the other side who were stunned because of Liu Xie's sudden appearance, and snorted coldly: "Do you have to teach you what the Three Platforms and Five Constants are, so that you know what it means to kneel?" ”
As soon as Xu Ji said this, everyone woke up like a dream, turned over and dismounted one by one, knelt on the ground and said long live. The army behind them even knelt down in a large area, and the shouting of long live was heard throughout Chang'an City. Liu Xie enjoyed the imperial treatment that he had lost for a long time, and a fluttering feeling floated up.
Xu Ji was even happier in his heart, now that even the army of Chang'an City knew that Liu Xie was in his hands, then these troops would definitely not dare to mess around.
Although it is said that the majesty of the Han Emperor has been completely lost, it is only a fact behind it, and anyone who sees Liu Xie is still psychologically afraid. After all, this is a generation of imperial power. But there will always be people who will give direct advice.
The servant Lu Kui said tremblingly at this time: "The saint has arrived, the subordinates don't know, and if you offend the authority of heaven, please ask the saint for forgiveness, but Lord Situ Wang Yun has always been loyal and patriotic, and the saint is not in Chang'an during this time, thanks to Lord Wang Yun, Chang'an is stable and peaceful, and the saint must not kill Lord Wang Yun by mistake because of the provocation of some treacherous villains!" ”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone behind him claimed to be it. Shi A was furious when he heard this, and looked at these ministers in front of him with a murderous face.
Xu Ji was not worried, because he knew that at least for now, Liu Xie would definitely stand on his side.
Sure enough, Liu Xie frowned and said coldly: "Everyone, the fact that Wang Yun's actions are ironclad is like a mountain, and it is not General Xu who is playing right and wrong, Wang Yun is really innocent. Although it is difficult to escape his crime with a hundred deaths, come and behead Wang Yun for me to show to the public! ”
There was a great confusion among the people on the other side. Xu Ji shouted: "Who dares to be presumptuous in front of the saint!" ”
Immediately, everyone was silent.
Xu Ji has a big heart, and having the emperor in his hand is different. At the sound of an order, no one dared to have doubts.
It was only at this moment that Xu Ji truly realized the happiness of coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes, especially when the Son of Heaven was willing to stand on the same side as you.
At the same time, Xu Ji also saw that the killing of Wang Yun was a foregone conclusion, and no one would object, after all, this was Liu Xie's own order, and he was extremely angry with Wang Yun, and now there was a proper reason.
Liu Xie snorted coldly and said, "Do you know that this Wang Yun secretly colluded with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu? I have ordered Xu Qing's family to show several major charges against Wang Yun, so as to win the hearts of the people tomorrow! Hmph, just colluding with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and persecuting the ministers of the DPRK and China, this Wang Yun will die a hundred deaths! These people looked at each other, they had heard about this matter, and at least they knew about Yuan Shao's pursuit of Xu Ji, and Wang Yun revealed the news to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
However, they knew that the relationship between Wang Yun and the two was so simple, and now that the emperor knew about it, of course no one could save Wang Yun.
Therefore, the crowd closed their mouths. Liu Xie called Wang Ling and Wang Chen to the front again, and explained to everyone that the two nephews of Wang Yun had abandoned the secret and confessed Wang Yun's crimes.
Seeing the dejected appearance of the two, everyone knew that Wang Yun was gone, and they had no objections.
Xu Ji waved his hand, and Wang Yun was pushed to the front and fell to the ground like a dog's.
The crowd on the other side looked at him with pity, but no one came to his rescue. A phantom figure raised his knife and fell, and where blood splattered, Wang Yun's head fell to the ground.
It's ridiculous that this great Han Situ I played with power and finally died under power.
Xu Ji, who was in a mood, didn't notice that Wang Yun was muttering in a low voice when he was dying, and only said in a voice that he could hear: "Xu Ji, the old man will take revenge for life and death, see how long you can be proud!" ”
Just when everyone thought that the battle of Chang'an was over, the war had just begun. (To be continued......)
