Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Great Fire of Luoyang
"Formation, charge!" Zhu Jun crawled out from under the corpse of the war horse, and said sharply while brandishing a big gun and striking the cluster of arrows that broke through the air.
Although the city-breaking crossbow is powerful, but the filling is extremely time-consuming, it takes more than a dozen strong men to exert force at the same time to reload again, when the two armies face each other, they can usually only be used once, so most of the time, the city-breaking crossbow is used to siege or defend the city, and is rarely used in field battles.
But I have to say that the opponent's unexpected dispatch achieved miraculous results in this battle, at least fifty city-breaking crossbows fired at the same time, directly shattering the morale of this army, however, before Zhu Jun could reintegrate his troops and horses, there was a sudden creaking sound in the distance.
"Buzz~"
Zhu Jun felt that the whole world was trembling at this moment.
It's a trebuchet!
Zhu Jun had a look of despair on his face, the lethality of the trebuchet on the battlefield was not great, and in the case of dense crowds, it was far less practical than the city-breaking crossbow, but the power of that day was fatal to morale.
What kind of God-given opportunity is this, it is simply Dong Zhuo's bait to attract these families, although he has never met, but Zhu Jun can be sure that Dong Zhuo's so-called personal leadership of troops and horses to meet the Kwantung princes is just a pretense.
The scalp was numb, and the alarm suddenly appeared, Zhu Jun suddenly looked up, but saw a stone the size of a millstone falling from the sky, and the direction was his side.
Coincidence or preparation? Zhu Jun couldn't care about it, in the panicked eyes of the surrounding sergeants, Zhu Jun rose up bravely, did not dodge, raised his head to meet the stone the size of the millstone, the big gun in his hand fluttered around, and the shot carried a momentum of no return, containing Zhu Jun's lifelong cultivation to stab out in the air fiercely, with full of grievance and anger. This shot is already a shot that breaks through the limit and plays at a super level.
"Boom~"
The grinding disc-sized stone shattered into countless rubbles from it, splattering in all directions, Zhu Jun's chest froze, and a mouthful of blood gushed up in his throat. He swallowed it back alive.
Facing the admiration and admiration of a group of soldiers, Zhu Jun's face sank like water, after two rounds of surprise attacks, his army suffered heavy losses, but the other party didn't even miss faces, this battle was ......
"Boom~"
The ground of the palace suddenly shook, and in the thunderous sound of hooves, Zhu Jun's complexion changed, and the complexions of the people from the following families also changed. The sound of hooves has become their nightmare, it is the sound of the hooves of Xiliang Tieqi's galloping hooves.
In the dark shadows, I don't know how many Xiliang Iron Cavalry Palaces rushed out of the palaces, and in the momentum of Xiao Killing, many of the soldiers who had already been captured by their minds directly threw away the weapons in their hands, and were ready to surrender, Xiliang Iron Cavalry may not be the strongest cavalry in the world. But once charged, it was definitely the most terrifying cavalry.
"General Gongwei. Don't come unharmed. Dong Zhuo rode his horse to the front, looking at Zhu Jun with a pale face with a complicated face.
"Hmph, rebels and thieves in a chaotic country, don't say much!" Now that he has torn his face, Zhu Jun has no scruples and looks at Dong Zhuo. snorted coldly: "Today, Zhu Mou has a breath, and he will definitely behead you, a national thief, under the horse!" ”
After speaking, regardless of the seriously injured body, he slapped the horse and danced the gun. Rushed towards Dong Zhuo.
"Kill me!?" Dong Zhuo's eyes flashed with a touch of murderous intent, and he said fiercely: "Then let's see, which of you and I will die first!" It's not just you, everyone involved in this matter tonight, a certain one wants to connect the nine clans, you don't let me have a good time, and don't blame Dong for being unkind! ”
That monstrous murderous murderous intent, even Zhu Jun, who had already been blinded to death, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, especially the other party's words, which made Zhu Jun's heart chill.
Even if you are crushed, you will never let this fang survive tonight!
At the same time, beside Dong Zhuo, a general slapped his horse and danced his knife, facing Zhu Jun, it was Dong Zhuo's Qiang fierce general Yadan recruited in Huangzhong, seeing Zhu Jun approaching, without saying a word, he was about to behead Zhu Jun under the horse with a knife.
"Barbarian, get out of the way!" Zhu Jun's pale face was flushed with an abnormal flush, and in the roar, the big gun in his hand accelerated suddenly, Yadan only felt a flower in front of him, a cold light flashed, and he felt a cold neck, and then it seemed that something was pulled out of his cavity, bringing up red blood and vitality.
The corpse rolled down from the horse's back weakly, and the war horse that lost its owner wandered beside the master incomprehensibly, letting out a wail from time to time, Zhu Jun didn't take a second look, his eyes fell on Dong Zhuo, and he didn't stop, with the last obsession in his chest, he stimulated the last trace of potential in his life.
"Stop him!" Dong Zhuo's face sank like water, looking at Zhu Jun who was getting closer and closer, but he didn't have much panic, with a wave of his hand, the two generals rushed out behind him, one knife and one shot, attacking Zhu Jun left and right.
"Dead open!" Seeing that someone came to stop him, Zhu Jun was furious, a round of big guns, bursting with anger, and the weapons of the two of them were blown away, but the momentum of the charge was stopped, and he glared suddenly, looking at Dong Zhuo, who was still ten steps away, and suddenly let out a heart-rending roar, the spear in his hand was thrown violently, and the big gun broke out of the air, with a blow that gathered Zhu Jun's life's strength, and slammed into Dong Zhuo's chest.
Before the gun arrived, a breath of death made Dong Zhuo's breath stagnate, and he felt like he couldn't breathe, and his fat body seemed to be restrained by some kind of invisible restraint, and he couldn't make dodging movements, so he could only watch the spear with the breath of death poured into his chest.
"My lord! Be careful! Fan Chou, who was leading his subordinates to strangle the rebels, saw that Dong Zhuo was in crisis, and immediately roared angrily, picked up a family nurse, raised his divine power, and threw it violently, and the nurse danced in the air and crossed an arc and landed in front of Dong Zhuo, just in front of Zhu Jun's big gun.
"Puff~"
"Bang~"
In the screams of the nursery, the big gun directly pierced his body, and the aftermath did not stop, and it hit the heart guard on Dong Zhuo's chest fiercely.
On the heart goggles made of stainless steel, there were traces of spider web-like cracks, and the castration of the big gun was finally stopped, but the huge force knocked Dong Zhuoshengsheng off the back of the horse, holding his chest and shouting: "Hurt me!" ”
Looking at Zhu Jun's gaze, there was a bitter resentment, for the first time in his life, it was the first time he was so close to death, and he suddenly roared angrily: "Kill, kill, kill!" If I don't kill this person, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! The original admiration for Zhu Jun in his heart in the past has also disappeared with this desperate shot, and now all that is left is full of anger that cannot be vented.
"Roar~" Fan Chou was also shocked into a cold sweat, and when he heard the promise, he roared and pounced on Zhu Jun, but the strange thing is that Zhu Jun did not react at all, when Fan Chou's steel knife cut off Zhu Jun's head without hindrance, he clearly saw Zhu Jun with a look of regret on his face, his eyes were wide open, but he was no longer alive.
sighed, but there was not much sadness in his heart, the crockpot was not broken from Inoue, and the general would inevitably die in battle, as a military general, he had such preparations since the moment he stepped on the battlefield.
Turning the horse's head, Fan Chou once again killed those private soldiers mixed with the Xiyuan New Army, and the private soldiers of various prefectures, including the former Xiyuan New Army, had been defeated under the charge of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at this moment, and scattered and fled.
On the surrounding palace walls, the Xiliang archers who had already been ambushed continued to shoot crossbow arrows, strangling the scattered private soldiers one by one.
"Princes, the matter has come to this, we should move forward, as long as we kill Dong Zhuo, we can turn things around!" Yuan Kui saw that the general trend was gone, looked at Dong Zhuo, who seemed to be dying, suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted at the people around him.
They still have dozens of people at this time, all of them are former Manchu ministers, and Dong Zhuo's troops are all chasing and killing the rout, and there are only dozens of armor guards left around them, and the back road is dead, it is better to give it a go, as long as Dong Zhuo can be captured and killed, even if they are all dead, what does it matter?
A group of weak scholars, wielding Confucian swords, shouted and rushed towards Dong Zhuo, holding the heart of death, but also a little momentum, but the reality is often full of bones, Yuan Kui and the others were pierced through the body by spears before they rushed to Dong Zhuo's approach.
Dong Zhuo slowly stood up, looked at Yuan Kui's unwilling expression, and slammed his head off with a knife.
At this moment, a sky-high fire suddenly rose in the distance, and in more than one place, Dong Zhuo rushed to the highest part of the imperial city in a frenzy, looked around, but found that almost in the blink of an eye, the entire Luoyang City was already filled with a firelight.
"Someone else!? Who exactly! Dong Zhuo's face was filled with a hideous look, he suddenly turned around, and shouted at Fan Chou: "Fan Chou, immediately block all the gates of Luoyang, and order you to sweep the Luoyang clan, tonight, whoever participates in the rebellion will destroy the whole clan!"
