Of these 500 soldiers, half of the elites of the Tang Dynasty and the masters recruited each accounted for half.

In the previous preparation process, because they had been nested in the mansion of Huang Zongwang's Mansion for many days, many of the recruited masters couldn't help but feel a little commotion.

At this time, Lin Renzhao, who rushed back from Guizhou, made a move, first "friendly" with several thorn masters, and then showed off the magic weapon in his hand again, and successfully "convinces people with force"; The special fighters took turns to go into battle, accompanying these masters with good food and drink every day, and from time to time "convincing people with quantity"; During this period, they took the money of Huang Zongwang, the richest man in Chu State, and made a lot of money, and then "persuaded people with virtue". With a few prongs, these masters were honest and willingly obeyed their commands.

Late yesterday night, Lin Renzhao sneaked to Zhang Longxing's house with 240 masters, and successfully joined the 260 elites of the Tang Wuchang Army, waiting for news from the Xuanwu Gate. However, the background information given by Feng Jingyun was that Ma Xichong, the brother of Ma Xichong, took away all the power, secretly put himself in the air, and decided to use the hands of the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to eradicate Ma Xichong and all his subordinates.

Lin Renzhao's face was full of hideousness, and he confessed in a low voice: "It is reported that the King of Chu, his relatives, and henchmen are not in the Chu Palace. Therefore, after entering the mansion, all the living people will be killed! After the deed was completed, the king of Chu promised to give each person another reward of 500 yuan! However, I said ugly things to the front, no matter who it is, take advantage of the chaos to kill the captivators, and kill the women! ”

Seeing Lin Renzhao's fierce eyes sweeping over, many masters with broken thoughts couldn't help but lower their heads and avoid his gaze.

After Lin Renzhao finished speaking, he turned around and nodded lightly to Zhou Qizhi and Yan Ruoli who came in, waved his hand, and Yan Ruosu and Zhou Ruxing walked out behind him. The two of them infiltrated the Chu Wangfu last night, and basically figured out the deployment of the Chu Wangfu and the residences of Ma Xicao and Ma Xichong. Qin Hansheng and Liu Qi also walked in from outside the door and were temporarily assigned to Lin Renzhao's command.

After the four of them finished changing horses, Zhou Qizhi and the others immediately went out, turned over on their horses, and led the team straight back to the east gate of the Chu Palace. Lin Renzhao waved his hand lightly and led five hundred elite soldiers straight to the west gate and north gate of the Chu Palace.

The horse's hooves flipped, and a hundred cavalry soon arrived at the east gate of the Chu Palace. At this time, hundreds of palace guards had gathered at the door, waiting for them.

Just now, a large group of cavalry and infantry passed in front of the Chu Palace, which made the soldiers guarding the door a little disturbed, and immediately reported to Boss Lu. When the commander in charge heard the news, he quickly transferred some of the guards in the palace and sent soldiers to the various city gates to inquire about the news.

Seeing a group of cavalry coming, the captain guarding the gate immediately drew his sword in his hand and shouted, "What person? In front of the palace of the king of Chu, no horses! Dismount and unload! ”

Zhou Qizhi and Yan Ruoli put their left hands behind their backs, and made a gesture to the soldiers behind, and the two did not dismount, but drove their horses forward two steps, and shouted in panic at the same time: "Tell the general, there are soldiers of unknown origin who raided the Xuanwu Gate, and Xu Weixu commanded the envoy to successfully pacify the attackers, and sent us to report to the King of Chu, and at the same time sent troops to check the safety of each gate." ”

"Oh, I see." The lieutenant's expression relaxed, but there was a little strange in his heart, they were all cavalry, and the people who reported the news for Lu came later than the soldiers sent to the south gate? Thinking of this, he raised his head and pointed at Zhou Qizhi, and shouted: "Does Commander Xu have an official document?" Take it out! ”

"Yes, right here!" Zhou Qizhi stretched out his hand and shook off a burden on the horse's neck.

What is this instrument? How do you pack it with a baggage? The lieutenant took the round burden in bewilderment. He untied it, and Xu Wei's painful, terrifying ugly face immediately appeared in front of him.

At the moment when the lieutenant caught the burden, Zhou Qizhi and Yan Ruoli kicked the horse's belly with both legs at the same time, and rushed towards the gate of the mansion. The cavalrymen who fell behind them also immediately struck their horses violently.

"Ahh

"Kill the traitor Ma Xichong and save the King of Chu!" Zhou Qizhi shouted loudly, and the horses rushed straight towards the gate of the mansion five meters away.

Following Zhou Qizhi's shout, the other cavalry also shouted loudly: "Save the King of Chu!" Save the King of Chu! ”

The cavalry rushed to kill like this, and the soldiers and guards who were running over inside and outside the palace gate and on the palace wall were a little stunned, what was going on?

Just when they were stunned and hesitated, the cavalrymen who had successfully raised their speed had already dispersed and killed among the soldiers in front of the mansion, slashing and slashing, and the scene was already chaotic.

Several mournful alarm drums sounded from the corner towers on both sides of the palace wall, and a large number of guards began to run along the palace wall towards the east gate.

Zhou Qizhi and Yan Ruoli marched together, two special steel blades swung down violently, people touched people and fell, knives touched knives and shattered, and between a few breaths, the two high-headed horses had already rushed through the palace gate and slammed into the guards who were running out from the palace gate.

Behind them, some of the cavalry had already formed a formation of two horses and rushed towards the palace gate.

Zhou Qizhi drove the horse down several people in a row, seeing that the horse's speed was slowing down, and there were many spears and steel knives piercing around him at the same time, he shouted: "Get off the horse!" House Walls! As the man rose to his feet, he pulled the knife in his hand on the horse's neck.

The mount neighed in pain, and several guns pierced the horse's body at the same time, and the horse, which was not breathing, fell forward due to strong inertia, and at once crushed several guards to the ground.

Zhou Qizhi, who landed on the ground, headed a Bafang Tibetan knife style, the knife flashed, cutting down the three guards around him, and the person turned around and ran to the palace wall ladder on the south side of the mansion gate. Over there, Yan Ruoli also cut down the people around him, and rushed towards the ladder to the north.

At this time, dozens of guards outside the palace gate had been completely destroyed by a hundred cavalry, and more and more soldiers shouted and drove their horses to charge into the mansion.

The ensuing horses continued to slam forward, smashing the chaotic guards even more into confusion.

At the same time as the chaos here, Qin Hansheng, the special army archer who had sneaked forward, shot out again, knocking down the sentry on the corner tower in the northwest corner of the Chu Palace. With the help of two special soldiers, Lin Renzhao rushed up the three-meter-high mansion wall with his strength, and the special soldiers took the lead, and the other soldiers set up human ladders one after another and rushed towards the mansion wall.

Because the team had been moved away by the alarm at the east gate, Lin Renzhao, Liu Qi, and Qin Hansheng were like crazy tigers, neatly clearing the only few soldiers on the house wall, jumping off the house wall, and killing at the west gate and the north gate separately. More and more soldiers successfully stepped onto the palace wall, their heads separated, and the four teams of men and horses under the palace wall quickly killed in the west and north directions.

Like a long dragon that had been in dormant for a long time, the four teams rushed forward with murderous spirit, cutting everyone they met along the way to the ground.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Lin Renzhao ran to the west gate, cut down several guards in a few strokes, opened the west gate, and let the soldiers outside the gate in.

According to the distribution of the buildings of the Chu Wangfu obtained in advance and the previously determined division of labor, Liu Qi led the soldiers and masters to divide into four roads and swept south at the same time, while Lin Renzhao led six special soldiers and twenty selected Tang Army experts to directly kill the Yangxin Hall next to the Nine Dragons Palace.

According to Yan Ruosu's reconnaissance last night, there were bright and dark sentinels around Yangxin Hall last night, and there were either Ma Xicao or Ma Xichong living in it.

Approaching the Yangxin Hall, Lin Renzhao waved his hand back, three special soldiers took the lead, and twenty military experts followed, scattering under the cover of the big trees in the house, secretly surrounding the entire Yangxin Hall, and he himself took the three special soldiers straight to the south gate of the hall.

"Who?! Stand still! A loud shout came out, and four guards jumped out from the rockery in front of the Yangxin Hall and the side of the door, pointing at Lin Renzhao with knives.

"I'm Lin Renzhao, I'm here to escort you!" Lin Renzhao clenched his fists, walked forward.

"Stop! General Lin, why are you here? Why are you wearing the military uniform of our Chu State? What's going on outside the house? Why is there an alarm? A middle-aged guard in the lead asked as if he was asking, while drawing his knife in his hand, looking at Lin Renzhao vigilantly.

"Ma Xichong tried to rebel, he sent Xu Wei to besiege the Dongchengmen military camp last night, we came out in chaos to protect the king of Chu!" Lin Renzhao said quickly as he hurried forward, only three meters away from the guard.

The middle-aged guard was shocked and angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense! The horse envoy is resting in the heart cultivation hall, this is a rumor! ”

Bad luck! How could it be Ma Xichong? Lin Renzhao immediately pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that Xu Wei is making trouble in private?" Then I have to meet with the envoy and ask him what is going on?! ”

Lin Renzhao took another step forward, his body rushed forward, and he rushed towards the middle-aged guard.
