Chapter 35: Breaking Through the Imperial City
Dadu, the imperial palace, the fierce battle did not stop, the emperor made a wrong decision, sent tens of thousands of Mongolian elites to the Yellow Spring, at this moment, the remaining Mongolian soldiers shrank like the imperial city, relying on the strong imperial city, can stabilize the position.
"Shoot, shoot these people to death for me!" Hu Chi'er stared at the damn Diao people under the city with red eyes, thinking that he Hu Chi'er fought in the south and the north, fought for the Mongol Empire all his life, and had never fought such a shitty battle, if the opponent was an elite army, it would be fine, but what made him even more aggrieved was that it was a group of Diao people who usually didn't even bother to look at it, a group of unarmed Diao people!
Hu Chier never thought about what he was wrong with, and blamed all the fault on these Diao people, a group of Diao people, they should feel honored to die at the hands of the most elite warriors of the Great Yuan Empire, why!? Why! Why did these damn Diao people, these Diao people who had received all the favors of the Great Yuan Empire in the past, dare to resist! Let the most elite Mongolian warriors in the world suffer huge losses in this capital!
The 50,000 Mongolian elites who guarded the capital lost 40,000 in just two days and one night, and even if he was unwilling, he could only retreat into the imperial city with the remnants of the men and turtles, and poured arrows against the dense Diao people below with the help of the strong city wall.
Things started in a hurry, and even many people didn't know why they suddenly became like this, not to mention decent siege weapons, many people are even still bare-handed, not even a weapon, in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows on the city tower, there is no way to resist, under the inclination of the Mongolian arrow rain, the people under the city fell in pieces, and the blood gradually gathered into a river of blood, and the entire imperial city seemed to be shrouded in boundless bloody breath.
"Sect Master, if this continues, I'm afraid that these hastily organized rebel armies will collapse soon!" Outside the palace, above an inconspicuous restaurant, there were dozens of figures gathered at this moment, looking at the city under the imperial city with amazing eyesight through the dense crowd, looking at the crowd under the dense arrow rain of the Mongols, and even the city wall could not touch the crowd, Yang Xiao said worriedly.
"Then help them open the gates." Li Xuan raised his eyelids, turned his head to look at the six major sect masters who accompanied him, such as the Extermination Master, Song Yuanqiao, and the Abbot of Kongwen, and said lightly: "But I'm afraid a few of you will have to wait for a while." ”
"It doesn't matter." Although the martial arts of Extermination and the others were top-notch, this major event of the military family was not something that a group of Jianghu people could understand, so they simply handed over the command to Li Xuan.
"Li Shan." Li Xuan nodded, and he was not too polite, although the master lineup still needs to rely on these people, but the right to march and fight Li Xuan never thought of protending others.
"Yes." Li Shan's burly body stood out and said solemnly.
"Lead the disciples of the Ming Sect, no matter what method you use, within an hour, open the palace door for me!" Li Xuan said coldly.
"Yes!" Li Shan suddenly agreed, kicked his legs, and the person had already flown out like a cannonball, and fell to the open space ten zhang away in an instant, and the burly body stepped on the ground with the momentum.
At the same time, among the boundless crowds, suddenly many people squeezed through the crowd and gathered in the direction of Li Shan, unlike those unarmed people, each of these people is well-equipped, wearing leather armor, and the weapons in their hands are also regular standard weapons, bows and arrows, knives and guns are not lacking, and there is a faint trace of evil on the body, although it is not as elite as the Mongolian army, but it is also a qualified army.
"Master, can these people do it?" Ding Minjun stood behind the exterminator, looking at Li Shan's departing back with flickering eyes, but his flickering gaze couldn't hide the trace of fear and fear in his heart.
"Shut up, Li Gongzi has his own decision, when will it be your turn to worry?" Extinction raised his eyebrows, glanced at Ding Minjun coldly, and frightened Ding Minjun to shrink his neck.
"Shitai, although Li has already made a comprehensive plan for this assassination, but the Mongolian emperor must be as skilled as a cloud, just a few of us can go, why bother to let your disciples take risks together?" Li Xuan turned his head, his gaze swept over Zhou Zhiruo's elegant cheeks, smiled slightly, and then said to the exterminator.
"Childe's righteousness, wisdom and martial arts make poor Ni admire, although my Emei faction is all women, but I don't want people to be beautiful, extinction does not have the ability of Gongzi to raise his hands to turn the world upside down, but I don't want to fall into the reputation of my Emei faction, let the world see, although my Emei faction is all women, but also has the blood of men!" The exterminator looked at the fierce battle in front of him coldly, and said righteously.
"Shi is too high-minded, Li Xuan admires, but forgive me for talking too much, although Miss Zhiruo is very talented, she is still young and her skills are not deep, and now the soldiers are in danger, is it a little dangerous to let her go with us?" Li Xuan looked at Zhou Zhiruo and sighed slightly.
"Masters are not trained, looking at the martial arts in the world, which master is not sharpened from the bloody battles of life and death." Extinction glanced at Zhou Zhiruo lovingly, and a rare tease suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Li Xuan and said, "Besides, if there is really danger, Li Gongzi will not sit idly by, right?" ”
"Master, the disciple is not afraid of danger, and he is willing to go with the master." Zhou Zhiruo's face flushed, she didn't dare to look at Li Xuan, standing beside the exterminator, her cloud-like hair skillfully covered the trace of blush on her face, making it difficult to see clearly.
Behind him, looking at the faint friendship between Zhou Zhiruo and Li Xuan's eyebrows, Zhang Wuji suddenly felt a feeling of depression in his heart, but in the end he didn't speak, standing quietly beside Song Yuanqiao.
"Sister Zhiruo, don't worry, if there is danger, Qingshu will protect you even if she runs away and doesn't want her life." Song Qingshu, who was standing on the other side of Song Yuan Bridge, couldn't help but jump out at this moment, looking at Zhou Zhiruo with tender eyes, as if there was no one else in this world except Zhou Zhiruo.
"Thank you Senior Brother Song for your kindness, if Zhiruo has her own teacher, she doesn't dare to bother Senior Brother Song." Zhou Zhiruo glanced at Li Xuan carefully, but saw that Li Xuan was looking down at the battlefield, and was not attracted by this side, while breathing a sigh of relief slightly, a faint sense of loss could not help but rise in her heart, and she turned to look at Song Qingshu lightly, but there was a sense of distance in her politeness.
"Zhiruo, I ......"
"Bastard thing, the enemy is now, what are you messing around with there? Don't give me back soon! Song Qingshu was about to say more, but he was stopped by Song Yuanqiao, and glared at Li Xuan with some unwillingness, Zhou Zhiruo's subconscious action naturally couldn't hide him who had been paying attention to Zhou Zhiruo, and couldn't help hating Li Xuan in his heart.
The exterminator glanced at Song Qingshu and sighed slightly, Song Qingshu can be said to be the best choice regardless of his character, martial arts or background, among the younger generation on the rivers and lakes, if he does not count Li Xuan, he is also one of the best figures, and Zhiruo was originally a good match, but now Li Xuan's birth has completely suppressed Song Qingshu's light.
Glancing at Li Xuan beside him, the exterminator shook his head too, but it's a pity that Li Xuan has now entered the Ming Sect and has become the leader of the Ming Sect, which makes the extinction a little dissatisfied, otherwise, she really has the heart to match, although the head of Emei is not allowed to marry, but this rule is not an ancestral training, but an extinction added, now born in troubled times, although the extinction is old-fashioned, but some things are not inflexible, but Li Xuan's identity as the leader of the Ming Sect made her hesitate, and glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, who secretly looked at Li Xuan from time to time. Extinction's heart sank, no, once this battle is over, I must find a way to get him out of Mingjiao, otherwise I would rather let Zhiruo hate me!
Between the words of a few people, Li Shan had already taken thousands of Mingjiao disciples close to the palace gate of the imperial city, on the battlefield of countless people, it was night, thousands of people were still inconspicuous in the crowd that could not be seen at a glance, and soon approached the palace gate, several disciples under the command of Li Shan, suddenly took out a sealed clay pot, and rushed madly towards the direction of the palace gate in the rain of arrows.
"Puff puff~" just rushed out of the crowd, and was ruthlessly shot by the Mongols in an instant, dozens of disciples fell in a pool of blood, but there were still a few disciples rushed to the palace gate, stuffed the clay pot to the heavy palace gate, took out the fire fold from his arms, and ignited the special fuse at the top of the clay pot in the incomprehensible eyes of everyone.
"Boom Boom Boom~"
A few thunderous sounds accompanied by the dazzling firelight suppressed the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and even a group of masters in the distance were stunned by the explosion of gunpowder that seemed to be mixed with earth-shattering danger.
The clay pot is stored in a jar **, although the sound is magnificent, but the power is very limited, several jars of gunpowder, but failed to completely blow up the palace gate, just blow up the city gate, but even so, it is enough.
In the crowd, Li Xuan suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "The city gate has been opened, all strong men, come in with me!" The voice is mixed with the internal force of Jiuyang Shengong, which is very penetrating, and it is a shot of strength to the mob whose morale has been a little low, after a short silence, it broke out into a shocking cheer, braving the rain of arrows of the Mongols, frantically rushing to the palace gate, although the Mongols on the palace wall are shooting arrows, but they still can't stop the crazy crowd, and can only watch more and more people scream and rush into the palace gate.
"Bastard! Why do these people have gunpowder! Quick, stop them for me! Huchier was furious, and roared angrily on the city wall, but the palace gate was broken, and the mob outside the imperial city suddenly poured in like a flood of the embankment, although the Mongol soldiers were elite, but they were powerless in the face of the flood of the embankment, and the troops who went to stop it were quickly drowned in the endless crowd.
"The general trend has been achieved, everyone, without further ado, we will attack the imperial city together!" Outside the city, looking at the open city gate, Li Xuan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he greeted a group of masters, and took the lead in taking off, gathering his legs with the true qi in his body, and swept towards the imperial city, followed by a group of masters behind him.
