"Yes, there is." Gao Shun also breathed a long sigh in his heart, why didn't he want to put out the fire in his heart, it was just his duty, he couldn't disobey the military order.

It's just that this tone has just been relaxed, Gao Shun is brows are furrowed, and then said to the warriors around him: "There is a problem with these city defense forces, everyone is ready for battle." ”

"Ahh General, why is that? A subordinate asked puzzled.

"Obeying orders is." Gao Shun didn't mean to explain, but instead looked forward coldly, because at this moment, those city defense troops really didn't go to put out the fire, but came straight towards them.

"There are brothers in the camp ahead, why don't you save each other in the fire? Are you not the army that protects the country? "Before the city defense army arrived, there was a voice of reproach first.

"What part of you are, our duty is to protect important places, and it is not our responsibility to fight fires." Gao Shun replied in a deep voice.

"It's not your responsibility?" The other party obviously had doubts about this sentence, but it was only a short hesitation, and then the other party said: "Okay, even if we say that we are not responsible, we will not quarrel for now, but after this matter, we will definitely report it to Lord Lu Su, and now please open the door and bring out some pots and buckets that can be used to extinguish the fire." ”

The other party seemed to be very talkative, and deliberately stopped moving forward, and stood two hundred meters outside the gate of the Zhangjia Weapons Factory.

The city defense army deliberately stopped, expressing that they didn't want to start a war at all, and it seemed that everything was very normal, Gao Shun also nodded and said: "Okay, that's it, let's find some for you to use." ”

After speaking, Gao Shun immediately turned back to the two lieutenants and said, "Go to the factory and find some utensils that can hold water." ”

Gao Shun gave the military order, and soon the warriors who had fallen into the camp returned to the factory to look for things, and it was not long before some basins and buckets that could hold water were taken out.

"Send them over." Seeing that a lot of things had been found, Gao Shun seemed to be very satisfied and nodded, and then bent out two fingers and pointed at the thousand city defense troops opposite.

In the face of Gao Shun's gesture, many of the warriors who were trapped in the camp obviously showed a look of surprise on their faces, but they were quickly collected, and at least five hundred soldiers in the camp walked forward with utensils in their hands.

Seeing the soldiers in the camp coming forward, Chen Deng, who was standing in the crowd of city defense troops, became even more nervous, this was his plan, although when it came to the strength of the troops, not all the warriors in the camp were here, and the soldiers guarding the gate were only a thousand in number, but if they fought face to face, he really didn't have any confidence. In this way, there can only be a plan, and luring the other party to take the initiative to come is his plan, as long as he can succeed, he can kill the other party by surprise, so the odds of winning are much greater.

The warriors who were trapped in the camp came step by step, watching the distance between the two sides continue to shorten. From 200 meters to 100 meters, to 50 meters, 30 meters, 10 meters, 5 meters, 3 meters...

As the footsteps advanced, the two sides were about to meet each other when Chen Deng suddenly shouted, "Do it!" ”

At the same time as Chen Deng shouted, another voice did sound one step ahead of him, "Do it!" ”

The two orders to move were given at the same time, and immediately at the forefront of the two armies, bursts of blood mist came out, and then one soldier after another was killed to the ground.

"What's going on?" Looking carefully, he found that the people who fell to the ground were all the people he had brought with him, Chen Deng was completely at a loss this time, he couldn't think of why the other party would be on guard against him, he thought he had done a good job.

Just before he could ask something, General Gao Shun, who was standing at the gate of the Zhangjia Weapons Factory, had already heard his voice, "How is it, I can't imagine how I exposed you." Let me tell you, the next time you want to pretend to be our people, please be professional, in order to prevent the occurrence of fires, the emperor has already sent special fire extinguishing supplies to every soldier, and you know that there is a fire in the city, and you really didn't bring this thing when you came, won't this reveal your identity? ”

Gao Shun's voice came, which made Chen Deng's teeth clench extremely tightly in an instant, and after he scolded the hateful, he was ready to lead the army and retreat. Even if it has been discovered, and there is a lot of loss, it is impossible to get any bargains, even if this is the case, it is better to withdraw first and find a way.

It's just that Chen Deng wants to escape, how could Gao Shun give the other party such a chance. If you come, don't go.

"Come, surround them, and don't let anyone go." Gao Shun shouted loudly, and then raised his right hand high, stretched out his four fingers and suddenly closed them.

Gao Shun's gestures all have special meanings. It's like the two fingers that were just stretched out, and it's clearly a signal that the other party is the enemy, and once you want to get close to it, you can do it. Now stretching out his four fingers and closing them together is telling the other trapped warriors who have rushed here to join in the attack.

Sure enough, as the order was given, around the street, there were four other warriors from the camp. They rushed here from the barracks after seeing the fire, and the timing was just right, cutting off all the roads that Chen Deng wanted to retreat.

He didn't expect to be surrounded here, seeing a steady stream of Celestial Empire soldiers besieging him, Chen Deng knew that he would not be able to escape this time.

"Fight, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one." In desperation, Chen Deng had no choice but to make the last resistance, and led his Xishu soldiers to carry out a tragic counterattack.

......

Before the Royal Palace.

There were rivers of blood and piles of corpses.

It was just a bloody battle of less than half an hour, and both sides did not pay a heavy price.

Among them, more than 400 people died in the battle of 500 Jinyi guards, but the soldiers led by the same Liang Qi and Yang Feng did not ask for any benefits, and threw down nearly a thousand corpses.

"The Jinyi Guards are really difficult, but it doesn't matter, they don't have many people left, we only need to rush into the palace with a charge, so the overall situation is decided." Yang Feng licked his lips that were a little chapped because of nervousness with his outstretched tongue, and said with a little excitement.

"That's right, the whole army is ready to charge, and take down the rebels in one go." Liang Qi also said with red eyes, seeing that the goal was about to be achieved, his heart was very excited at this moment.

"Squeak!"

Without waiting for the army to charge, the palace gate suddenly opened from the inside, and then a thousand brocade guards with red feathers rushed out, each of them armed with strong crossbows, standing in several rows, ready to fire crossbow arrows at any time.

The tension at the east gate had long attracted the attention of the palace brocade guards, who quickly mobilized the army here, and it seemed that they would not take a step back and not give the enemy any chance.

Suddenly, a thousand brocade guards appeared, and everyone had strong crossbows in their hands, which really shocked the city defenders who were preparing to charge.

Although there were a large number of them, most of them didn't know what was going on, and they just listened to the words of the division commander Liang Qi's family and came here to do so. But when they saw that they were about to enter the palace and fight with one of the emperor's guards, the Jinyi Army, some people had a sense of resistance.

As a warrior, you should be ready to die at any time, but it is worth dying to die, at least you must die to understand, like today, it is not what they want to fight for some reason.

The army suddenly stagnated, which made Liang Qi, who led the team, have a bad feeling, and at the moment, in order to encourage the soldiers, he had to shout loudly again, "Brothers, these people are rebels, they want to control the palace to threaten the emperor, what we have to do is to kill them all, that's all, for the sake of the Celestial Empire, everyone is ready to rush." ”

Liang Qi's shout still had some effect, at least some of the city defense soldiers who were hesitating seemed to be firmer in their steps.

"Stop, we don't know who the rebels are yet, but please put down your arms on both sides, squat on the ground, and let the decision be made after the investigation, and those who disobey the arrangement will be killed." Just when the city defense army was about to launch a new round of charge under the instigation of Liang Qi, behind them, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a cavalry of no less than 1,000 people came from far and near.

This is the Zhang family light cavalry who rushed to hear the news, and it was Zhang Rui, one of the generals of the light cavalry, who shouted just now.

Zhang Rui can be regarded as a highly qualified, he followed Zhang Chao's side when he was a teenager, has had a friendship for nearly 20 years, and has always performed very well, and is regarded as the absolute henchman of the Zhang family, so he has the opportunity to lead the Zhang family's light cavalry.

Now, as soon as he appeared, his sense of prestige spread, causing both sides to stop attacking. Whether it is the city defense army or the brocade guard, they all trust this person.

As soon as Zhang Rui appeared, Liang Qi's face became very ugly. He was a little nervous about the people who came, because even when his brother Liang Xing was still alive, he had to bow down when he saw Zhang Rui, so it can be seen that the status of some people is high, where can he compare.

"Brother Liang, there is no way back now, so I have to kill this person first." Yang Feng also felt the change in the atmosphere on the battlefield, and while his heart was broken, he also said urgently. Now he can only go and can't retreat, because once the war is extinguished, what he did and his identity will be completely found out, and at that time, even if he wants to run, he won't have a chance.

"Okay." Liang Qi gritted his teeth and agreed, and then pointed the spear in his hand towards Zhang Rui's location and said, "Brothers, this person also participated in the rebellion, everyone will kill this person with me." ”

Originally, some soldiers squatted down and put down the weapons in their hands, but now after Liang Qi shouted like this, he just got up and took the weapon back in his hand after getting used to it.
