Chapter 182: The Changeable Heart (Part II)
The gendarmerie's search and arrest operations, which began early in the morning, had a very good effect on cleaning up the streets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAlmost every street is empty, and it is said that 30,000 gendarmes have been dispatched to set up checkpoints on all major streets to check pedestrians. However, unless there is a real urgency and has to go out, no one will touch this mold, the gendarmes are notorious, and it is small to be robbed of some money, in case they are dragged to the "anti-party", it will be over.
Along the way, Guo Zizhong also saw several gendarmes checking in various places, and they all yawned boredly. These gendarmes looked at Guo Zizhong with unscrupulous eyes, but they didn't dare to make any outrageous moves.
The eyes of these guys are very poisonous, and it can be judged from Guo Zizhong's clothing and demeanor that he is a senior officer of the Central Army, and a group of more than 20 horsemen are full of murderous atmosphere, obviously all veterans who have returned from a hundred battles. These gendarmes just want to make a little money, unless their brains are broken, they will come to provoke these murderers.
Guo Zizhong sighed secretly, within a few days of the Great Dynasty Meeting, His Majesty's guilty edict will become a joke. The emperor is deaf, the treacherous and evil are in charge, the good people dare not speak out, but the evil people jump up and down, this is the image of the troubled times! He has lost his name in vain, but he can only be trapped in the imperial capital, doing nothing, thinking of this, Guo Zizhong felt that there was a heavy stone blocked in his chest, so that he could hardly breathe.
Guo Zizhong rode his horse slowly, and the horseshoe knocked on the bluestone pavement, making a sound of stampede. The guards clung closely, looking around warily. Guo Zizhong raised his eyes and looked at the road ahead, and then turned an intersection to reach the governor's palace, but a feeling of uneasiness rose in his heart. This feeling of uneasiness has always been very accurate, just like when I first met the moon without a shadow at the foot of Yin Mountain. It's an intuition honed in the land of life and death.
The captain of the guard smiled and said, "Look, my lord, those gendarmes want to get rich and want to go crazy!" The captain of the guard pointed ahead, only to see that several gendarmes actually set up barricades near the intersection, and they were still unfinished barricades, and it was obvious that the other party did this when they saw them coming......
Guo Zizhong frowned and said, "Don't worry about them, we'll go ours." ā
Soon, more than 20 horsemen came to the barricade.
The captain of the guard said coldly: "Get out!"
The black-clothed gendarmes did not back down: "The gendarmerie battalion was ordered to arrest the rebels, and all of them dismounted for inspection. āć
Captain of the Guard: "Open your dog's eyes and see, is the Governor also a rebel?"
Black-clad gendarme: "Hey, you said he was the Governor, what if he was a traitor?"
Captain of the Guard: "Fuck your shit!"
Black-clothed military policeman: "You are not a little bold, dare to scold us? You can be condemned as a traitor just by your words." ā
The captain of the guard laughed angrily, and was about to scold, but saw Guo Zizhong raise his hand to stop him.
Captain of the Guard: "Your Excellency......"
Guo Zizhong: "Turn back." His voice was soft.
Captain of the Guard: "......"
Guo Zizhong: "Fifty steps away, prepare for the arrow array!"
The captain of the guard was overjoyed, and immediately turned his horse's head.
The black-clothed gendarme led by him was stunned, obviously the other party's actions were beyond his expectations. His face was solemn, as the only person who knew about Lord Dai Chen's plan, he couldn't let the other party leave. But he didn't expect this situation to be so calm. The road here is wide, and it is said that Guo Zizhong's personal guards are all elites from the wolf cavalry camp, and everyone is a brave man. Once they are prepared, it will be troublesome, and it seems that they will have to resort to the last resort.
The black-clothed gendarme suddenly laughed wildly: "Several, do you just abandon your colleagues and leave?" I saw him wave his hand, and the black-clothed gendarme next to him let go of a black bag, and with a few pops, several round and boneless things immediately rolled to the ground.
The captain of the guard subconsciously looked back, but his eyes were cracked, and he yelled: "The dog thief is so daring!"
Guo Zizhong and other guards also discovered this scene, only to see five or six heads rolling down from the ground, all with angry eyes, obviously all dead. Guo Zizhong recognized the faces of these people at a glance, they were all his newly appointed major generals of the Central Army, all of them were loyal and brave young Zhuang officers.
Just when everyone was stunned, suddenly the crossbow strings vibrate, the sound of breaking the air was everywhere, and countless arrows on both sides of the street were shot rapidly.
"Abandon the horse!" Guo Zizhong shouted. Almost at the same time, all the guards turned over and dismounted, all of them using the help of their tall horses to avoid the crossbow arrows.
There was a pop and pop, and the arrows continued to penetrate the horse's body, some of which directly penetrated the entire body, bringing out a puff of blood, which splashed on the face of the guard. Only to hear a whimper, the war horses fell to the ground one after another. These are all old guys who have followed them in the southern and northern wars for many years, and they did not die on the battlefield, but they died in this assassination on the Imperial Capital Street, and the killing intent of the guards was completely stimulated.
"Rush!" the captain of the guard ordered.
With the help of the short time gained by the death of the war horse, everyone drew their scimitars, formed an offensive formation, and rushed towards the direction of the barricade with Guo Zizhong. Once you cross the intersection ahead, the Governor's Palace is in sight. As soon as the sound of the fighting passed, reinforcements from the Doge's Palace would soon arrive. So, two hundred paces from the intersection was the difference between life and death, and the same was true for the Assassins.
At this time, the black-clothed gendarmes in front of the barricade had already screamed strangely and fled. They seemed unprepared for the attack, and left in a hurry like frightened birds.
Guo Zizhong suddenly roared: "Be careful ahead!"
I saw that a dazzling silver light suddenly appeared out of thin air not far away, and suddenly, the guards all subconsciously closed their eyes. Immediately, with a few muffled snorts, several guards on the periphery were instantly seriously injured by crossbow arrows.
Can't wait any longer, the captain of the guard shouted violently, and the whole person volleyed down like an eagle strike, slashing into the silver light in front of him, only to hear the sound of jingle in his ears, and the silver glossy surface immediately slanted away. Only then did he realize that the so-called light was actually several silver shields. The masked assassins behind the shield had shocked looks in their eyes, obviously not expecting the other party to be so strong. Without hesitation, they took a few steps back, and with a flick of the shield in their hands, they instantly turned into a silver spear and stabbed at the captain of the guard.
"Kill!" The infantry formation formed by the personal guards also arrived in an instant, and the infantry formation of twenty people actually showed the momentum of more than two hundred people.
The scimitar slashed heavily at the spear, and the silver spear snapped in two. However, countless silver needles suddenly shot out of the broken spear.
Although the range of the silver needle is shorter, the infantry formation is closer. There is no way to avoid the front row guards. Immediately, several of the guards at the front were injured again, and one of them snorted and suddenly covered his eyes, blood spilling from his fingers. However, even though his eyes were blind, he still kept silent and maintained the same pace as the entire formation, except that his whole person had retreated into the middle of the formation.
If you don't pay attention to this subtle change in formation, you can't notice it at all. Ye Heng, the leader of the Death Charter in the shadows, couldn't help but secretly praise: No wonder the wolf cavalry battalion is known as the elite of the world, these guards from the wolf cavalry battalion are obviously the elite of the elite, maybe only brothers who have lived and died together for decades can do such a tacit understanding!
"Let the crew retreat! The other party is on guard, and small means cannot trap and kill these brave men. ā
However, before his words fell, he saw that the guard formation had changed suddenly, more than twice as fast. With a pop, the seven crew members didn't have time to retreat before they were pierced and torn apart like broken sacks.
Ye Heng's face was pale: "Everyone is out and all the other party will be strangled within a hundred steps!"
It seems that Lord Dai Chen and he both underestimated each other! Although the opportunity is rare, the arrangement is still too hasty. But now that it's launched, there's no need to regret it, the Death Charter never misses, and this time is no exception!) )
