Chapter 574: Shi Mu
The stalemate in front of the palace gate did not last long, the king of Chu, dressed in silver armor, rode through the ranks, and the soldiers quickly scattered on both sides, making way for them.
Yuan Peilin saw that he was immediately majestic, with a powerful aura shrouded in his body, and his sharp and dark eyes shot over, obviously so far away, but he felt a cold air spreading up from the soles of his feet, and couldn't help but shiver. He recognized that it was Murong Mian, the king of Chu.
The King of Chu stood alone in front of the team, uncovered, but due to the distance, Yuan Peilin was not sure to shoot him.
But the king of Chu at that end made a move, he took a bow from the hand of the guard on the side, and pulled out the white feather feather arrow in the quiver with his backhand, which was his matching arrow, the arrow was iron, the head was flat, there were barbs, the arrow shaft was poplar, and the arrow feathers were made of white eagle feathers, which was very beautiful, but it was also very powerful.
The king of Chu took the bow and arrow and walked forward, one step, two steps, three steps......
Han Tong followed him, looking nervous, "Lord Wang, you can't go any further, it's almost within range." ”
The King of Chu was silent, his eyes condensed, and he continued to take five steps forward, and just when Han Tong was about to reach out to pull him, he stood still.
Although the distance is still a little far, Yuan Peilin can't care about it, so he asks people to wave the flag and order: "Release!" ”
Ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, like a strong wind and rain, towards the king of Chu, but they were still one step away from him, and they hung down weakly and fell all over the ground.
The King of Chu smiled contemptuously, slowly raised his arm, and drew the bow full.
Although Yuan Peilin didn't believe that he could come with arrows, he was still a little panicked and shouted: "Set up a shield array!" ”
The square shield array immediately spread out and lined up in front of the palace gate, strictly protecting the Jin army inside.
The king of Chu took a bow and shot, the bowstring clanged, and the white feather arrow with a sharp sound of breaking the air actually drilled through the thick shield, shot an archer, and hit the heart, he fell to the ground in response, Yuan Peilin's face turned white, and he waved his hand hurriedly, "Go back, everyone go back!" ”
They retreated, the Chu army advanced, the distance was still the distance just now, but the Jin army was almost close to the palace gate, the forbidden army on the wall was waiting for it, and the archers and crossbowmen were standing on the commanding heights, looking at the Chu army slowly advancing with a nervous expression.
Han Tong was worried about the safety of the king of Chu and persuaded him to retreat to the back, the king of Chu was expressionless and did not pay attention, standing at the front of the camp alone, Han Tong looked at Ning Jiu as if asking for help, the latter's expression was the same as the king of Chu, there was no reaction at all, he sighed secretly, and had to go with them.
King Chu looked at the forbidden army on the wall, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger, the two sides were fighting, and it was right to occupy the commanding order, but when he met him, this advantage also became a disadvantage.
He suddenly shot three arrows in a row, as fast as a meteor, and before everyone came to his senses, he shot down the strong crossbowman on the wall, compared to the bow and arrow, the strong crossbow is more powerful, and if the strong crossbowman is solved, the rest will be easy to do.
Xiao Zi, the commander of the forbidden army, often saw this change, and hurriedly shouted: "Come down, hide!" He turned his head and sent his own soldiers, "Hurry up and tell the emperor, the king of Chu is too powerful, I am afraid that the palace gate will be lost, please ask the emperor to get an idea quickly!" ”
The soldiers rushed away, and the Jin army guarding outside the palace gate released another round of arrows, stopping the footsteps of the Chu army, the king of Chu was a little impatient, and ordered Han Tong, "I cover with Ning Jiu, you lead people to rush up, if you can't attack for a long time, there will be chaos." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person emerge from the city wall, wearing a jacket embroidered with red plums with gold silk dark blessing patterns, and a light red horse-faced skirt below, with hair a little messy, hanging on both sides, looking a little embarrassed, she saw the crowd below, she was very embarrassed, and turned around to go down, but was dragged up to the wall.
Han Tong exclaimed in a low voice, "It's Concubine Rui!" Secretly looking at King Chu, he was still expressionless, as if Concubine Rui was a person who had nothing to do with him.
Today is a fine day, near noon, the sun is in the sky, shining on the emperor's shining armor, his face is hidden in the helmet, not very real, but the sword against the neck of Concubine Rui is clearly seen by everyone.
"Murong Mian!" The emperor shouted at the top of his voice: "Open your eyes and take a good look, who is this?" ”
Concubine Rui had never felt so ashamed, she was coerced and stood on the wall, her embarrassed appearance was all seen, she would rather die than be stabbed by the soldiers below.
She saw her son who had been absent for two years, and he looked at her, but the look was so strange that it made her heart skip a beat.
"Lord Wang," Han Tong said in a low voice, "Let the last general go and talk to him, and he will definitely persuade ......."
"No need," Murong Mian raised his hand to interrupt him, and stretched out his hand to Ning Jiu again, "Take the bow." ”
Ning Jiu hesitated for a moment: "Lord Wang, you ......"
"The palace gate must be broken before noon, this is an order, and there must be no change."
The king of Chu took the bow and arrow, called Han Tong to whisper a few words, slowly raised his arm, and aimed at the person on the wall, the emperor saw that he was so unstingy, he was a little panicked, and hurriedly pulled Concubine Rui to cover himself, and said hatefully: "Look at the good son you gave birth to, he is a wolf cub, and he doesn't even care about his own mother, this is a complaint, he doesn't care about your life, wait for you to be a ghost and then go to him." ”
The king of Chu didn't shoot out of the bow for a while, everyone looked at him, and little by little, the panic on the emperor's face faded, and he laughed at him loudly, "What, don't you dare to shoot?" Are you afraid of being accused of being your mother? Murong Mian, you are still too soft-hearted, in this life, you are bad at soft-heartedness......"
As he was talking energetically, he saw an arrow shoot with a strong wind, and a sharp whistling sound pierced his eardrums, and he instinctively dodged behind Concubine Rui, and the arrow shot into the flesh with a "poof", and Concubine Rui screamed and fell down softly.
Everyone was stunned, thinking that King Chu was going to shoot the emperor, but they didn't expect him to shoot Concubine Rui, all of them raised their heads and watched dumbfounded, Han Tong took advantage of this time to rush forward with his men and horses, and fought with the Jin army.
The emperor didn't care about Concubine Rui, he even climbed down the wall with a roll, didn't say anything, and ran across the horse to the harem with a white face.
This is a big fight, the shouting shook the sky, the spears and broadswords of the Jin army came in handy, the Chu army was well trained, and the strength was equal, for a while, it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
The king of Chu sat on horseback, looking coldly, holding a sword in his hand, occasionally a Jin army bumped into him, he waved his hand, picked the person on the tip of the sword, and threw it out far away.
The winter sun was warm on his body, but it couldn't shine into his heart, it was a cold and barren place, which could never be warmed.
I thought that I would fight for a while, but I didn't expect the palace gate to open suddenly, and a steady stream of Chu troops poured in, and the Jin army saw that the general trend was gone, and the resistance was not so tenacious, so they fled in all directions, and the lively fighting scene at the palace gate quickly turned to the forbidden palace.
