Severed tail 14 verse xxiv
Suddenly, in the twenty-fourth stanza, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and the horses ran very quickly, and seemed to be still a few miles away, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves had come from far and near, and a man and a horse had entered the eyes of everyone. Wu Ming was taken aback at first, thinking that the Blue Wolf Army had come over, and when he saw that there was only one person on the other side, he relieved his heart, if the other party really used force, it would be impossible to send only one person here.
The knight ran in a hurry, all the way, breaking into the field of view of the crowd, and then slamming the reins, and the horseman rose to his feet and neighed in pain. He didn't care about it, he turned over and rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said in his mouth: "Lord Wu, be careful, in order to deal with you, the eldest brother has bypassed the tribal alliance resolution, activated the emergency mobilization order, and came to arrest you, and now he is dispatching troops." ”
This person is none other than Liao Qing's third son, Liao Gang.
After the tribal alliance was declared a vassal to the Eastern Han Dynasty, it still followed the old system, and whenever there was a major event or an important matter, the governor had to convene a meeting of the alliance and pass a resolution before he could use the sword. This is a promise made by Gaozu when he recovered the Qingting. Historically, the Governor of the Southwest has been weak, and this may be an important reason.
After Liao Qing became the governor of the southwest, he vigorously cultivated cronies, either pulling or fighting, and now nearly half of the ten governors of the Green Wolf Army have become his cronies. Later, he felt that the tribal alliance meeting was too troublesome, and it was not easy to violate the previous ancestral system, so he manipulated the alliance meeting and added an emergency mobilization order, stipulating that the governor or his authorized person had the right to temporarily mobilize troops without going through the alliance meeting under special circumstances.
Since then, Liao Qing, the governor of the southwest, has truly grasped the actual power of the five central and western provinces.
This is not a big secret, Wu Ming knew about it a few years ago. This time, Liao Sheng's plan to mobilize troops did not seem to go well, so the emergency mobilization order was activated. He took a few steps forward, walked up to Liao Gang and said, "Thank you, Young Governor, we also know about this." After speaking, he told Zheng Qianshi about poisoning as it was.
"What!?"
Liao Gang was taken aback, and even his voice changed: "Brother Zhang Hao has left?" Zhang Hao has been inseparable from him recently, and the two are of the same age. Naturally, there are a lot of topics, and they are very familiar with each other. At this time, I got Zhang Hao's bad news, and I was also stunned. At this time, the sound of shouting and killing was faintly heard in the darkness. Liao Gang's face changed, and he said, "Lord Wu, it seems that Uncle Miki has not been able to stop the eldest brother, they have already come, what should I do?" ”
Is it really coming? Wu Ming only felt his chest sink, and shouted: "Quick, quick, everyone go to Angelica Palace for temporary shelter first." "Since the other party is ready to make a move, and it has also alarmed the tribal alliance meeting, a large number of troops must have been mobilized. Although the more than 100 soldiers of the Guards Battalion are elite, they are definitely not enough to stuff the other party's teeth in a flat place like Tingya. For today's plan, only by retreating to the Angelica Palace can we resist a little.
After the incident just now, everyone has already drilled out of the felt tent. As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers of the Guards Battalion immediately went into action. They all picked up Tao Yu, He Yi, Hu Yong and others and ran towards Angelica Palace. Wu Ming walked at the back of the team, saw Liao Gang also following him, and said loudly: "Young Governor, you reported the kindness, Wu Ming remembered, you go back quickly, the sword and gun have no eyes, you follow us, it is useless." ”
Liao Gang opened his mouth and was about to say something more, but Wu Ming pushed him to the ground and said, "Live well, don't follow." At this time, everyone had already rushed to the gate of the Angelica Palace, and the two soldiers guarding the door probably also heard the shouts of killing, and they had already run away.
Wu Mingcai stepped into the Angelica Palace, and the shouting of killing suddenly became clear. When I turned my head, countless soldiers flooded over from various intersections. Through the faint moonlight, I only felt that there were enemies everywhere, the smoke and dust were rising, and all kinds of weapons emitted a cold light in the dust, but there were countless people pouring out from the intersection in the back.
The other party didn't seem to expect that Wu Ming and the others had already prepared, these people just slowed down, and then they found Wu Ming and them, and they first rode around in place, and then shouted neatly, slammed the horse, accelerated in place, and rushed towards Angelica Palace.
These dozens of people are only about five hundred steps away from the Angelica Palace, although the distance is not very far, but for people with good riding skills, it is enough to accelerate. In a daze, these dozens of people had already rushed in like a tsunami. The loud whistle was like the cry of a tragic dead, and the momentum was astonishing. Wu Ming was taken aback, this Blue Wolf Army was really extraordinary, and there were such elite cavalry. He yelled, "Close the door, close the door." ”
In fact, there was no need for him to scream, Tian Hongzheng and several guards soldiers with round waists and thick shoulders pushed the heavy gate and tried to close it. This door has not been closed for a long time, and as soon as it is pushed, it makes a "squeak, squeak" sound, as if an old woman who has not exercised for a long time has suddenly pulled her arm and is moaning. It's also very slow.
It was too late, and dozens of cavalry had already rushed to the first step of the Angelica Palace with overwhelming momentum.
Angelica Palace is almost all wooden, and there are not many steps, just about five steps, this distance is just a short moment for the charging cavalry, Wu Ming roared, his right foot slammed on the edge of the door, and the person had already rushed up diagonally. happened to meet the first few knights, in mid-air, he couldn't let him think too much, and the red night in his hand "choked" a long groan, which was already out of the sheath in his hand, and turned into a golden mang, cutting towards the three knights who rushed in the front row.
At present, a ** in the middle shouted: "Good skills." With a light tap on the horse's back, the person suddenly turned into a faint shadow, and he had already risen to the sky to meet Wu Ming. When these knights charged, they all wore masks, and at first glance they looked like they were made of a mold. Wu Ming didn't know the identities of these people at first, but at this time, he heard the other party's voice and recognized it. It was none other than Jiang Huan, the commander of the Blue Wolf Army. As soon as he caught up with Wu Ming, he didn't say much, and shook his hand and stabbed him from under the flank.
There was a sudden chaos below, Jiang Huan's right knight couldn't dodge, screamed miserably, and was cut into two by Chixiao's volley sword, and the blood water suddenly spurted like a spring, spurting up Lao Gao, the horse didn't know that the master had been ambushed, and still took the knight's half body, and rushed straight towards the gate. Jiang Huan's first knight on the left was not weak, and he also volleyed up from the horse, greeted him, and fought Wu Ming with Jiang Huan.
The shadow of the gun was like lightning, and there was even a heavy purple light and shadow on the tip of the opponent's gun, and Yang Xiong exclaimed from behind, saying, "Purple shadow gun!" This voice was short and short, and it was immediately drowned in a huge sound, Wu Ming's heart was sudden, and he didn't have time to ask Yang Xiong, he let Jiang Huan's shot on the side, and cut off his backhand with a sword, and said: "Jiang Dudu, now I am worried about internal and external troubles, and it is precisely when we need everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties, and now you are leading troops to collide with the crown princess, which is already a big disrespect, is it really necessary to do this kind of thing that hurts relatives and makes enemies happy?" ”
"The relatives are painful, but the enemies are fast! Lord Wu, I should ask you first. Vice Governor Cao, the brother of Liao Du, has been the Rongbian Qingting for more than ten years, and has made great contributions to the imperial court. You slashed with a sword, and now you ask me the other way? ”
Jiang Huan sneered, and pulled the spear violently, about to protect his chest. But Chixiao sharpened iron like clay, and the spear he used, although it was also made of fine iron, was Chixiao's opponent, and only a soft sound of "boom" was heard, and the entire gun rod was suddenly broken in two. He was taken aback, and in his critical condition, he had to throw the remaining two spears in his hand towards Wu Ming's door, in order to lose both.
Wu Ming took a deep breath, silently used the "Tiyun Vertical" body method, his body twisted suddenly, and he actually moved nearly a foot sideways in the air. Kankan dodged the opponent's two short guns, reached forward with both hands, and grabbed Jiang Huan's chest. He made up his mind to grab Jiang Huan first, let the other party throw the rat trap, and then try to do anything else.
"Tiyun Zong" is indeed an anomaly, and before reaching the grandmaster, it must not be able to move and flash in the air, but it breaks this convention, Rao is still stunned at this time with Jiang Huan's calmness. Wu Ming was overjoyed, and just when he thought it was done, the big man next to him had already arrived, slapped his palm down on Wu Ming's waist from below, and said loudly: "Brother Jiang, I'll help you." ”
This voice is also very familiar to Wu Ming, it is the governor of Ludu.
At this time, even if he grabbed Jiang Huan, he would definitely be seriously injured by the palm of this surnamed Lu, and now that there were all other soldiers outside, even if he caught Jiang Huan, with his seriously injured body, he would definitely not be able to save it. In a hurry, Chixiao had no time to withdraw, and in desperation, he had to raise his left hand and meet the opponent with all his strength.
There was a muffled "bang".
Wu Ming flipped over a few times in the air and hit the door frame of the Angelica Palace, and the whole building seemed to shake a few times. The man surnamed Lu exclaimed: "This kid has such a deep palm power." Then it was drowned out by the loud shouts of killing.
There was a big chaos in front, several knights were injured by Wu Ming's sword qi and planted their horses, and the knights behind let out a shout, bringing up a gust of wind and slamming into it.
"Bang, bang, bang......" The horse slammed into the gate, making a dull sound, and the people inside had just closed the door, and before they could latch the door, how could they withstand such a strong impact, and the door suddenly "banged" with a crisp sound, and it had been knocked open by these knights. The green wolf army outside suddenly let out a tidal wave of cheers, Wu Ming's heart sank, and he was about to shout.
"Kill the thief! Brothers, follow me. As soon as the door opened, Tian Hong, Ge Yi, and Yang Xiong took the lead and rushed out from inside. Tian Hong's loud voice shouted that the entire Angelica Palace had a tendency to surround the beam for three days.
