The sky was dark, the streets were deserted, the afternoon riots caused bloodshed, and after the people were dispersed, Zhou Ang issued a city-wide curfew forbidding the people to wander the streets, and at this moment it was not yet completely dark, the streets were empty, the houses were closed, and the shops on the streets were closed.

Because of this, the sudden sound of horses' hooves on the street was abrupt and harsh, nearly a hundred palace guards galloped along the street, and the goal was to take the Beicheng Wangfu Street, which was the Jinyi Guard Fire Battalion led by Song Nan and Wang Yong, not far behind them was the five hundred soldiers of the Qiantun Guard Guard Battalion led by Qiu Yue, they had no more horses, most of them walked, and could only fall behind.

At the intersection of the street a few miles away from the street in front of the palace, the palace guards who had set up a card at the intersection had already noticed it, and shouted loudly from afar: "What person? The left side of the palace is closed to traffic. ”

Song Nan and Wang Yong didn't answer, and led the flags to rush towards the checkpoint, and more than a dozen palace guards who set up a card to block the intersection here bent their bows and arrows and shouted: "Stop, if you don't stop, you will release the arrows." ”

Song Nan sat on his horse and shouted, "Don't let go of the arrows, my own brother, we are the guards who follow General Zhou Ang." ”

A small leader of the checkpoint guards was puzzled: "Since you are General Zhou's subordinates, what are you doing in the palace?" ”

Song Nan and the others quickly approached, and shouted vaguely: "General Zhou said that there is a mob in the city, and he is worried that they will make trouble at night and endanger the safety of the prince, so he specially ordered me to go back to the palace to participate in the vigil, brother." ”

"Mobs? Where did the mob come from? The palace is very safe, and there was news from above just now, asking me not to let anyone go through the checkpoint, you are not allowed to get closer, let me report to the above and then make a decision. ”

Song Nan laughed and said, "The city is full of mobs, don't you have long eyes?" ”

The leader said, "Where?" Where is it? How many hours have we been here, but why haven't we seen any of them? ”

"Far away, close at hand." Song Nan shouted: "Do it!" ”

Before the words fell, more than 20 people in the front row suddenly burst out of the fire, boom boom bang

Song Nan knew that the sound of the bombardment of the fire gun could not be concealed from the following levels, so he simply waved his hand and shouted: "Rush." ”

The flags spurred their horses, swept through the checkpoint like a gust of wind, and on the street in front, the sharp whistle sounded and blew, and after a while, a large number of guards from the left gathered together, and collided head-on with Song Nan and others head-on.

It was the old acquaintance Wang Xingren who was in charge of the guard task on the periphery of the palace, but the dim sky made him not recognize a group of Song Nan and others wearing the armor of the palace guards who rode horses. Why don't you run back, why don't you go with Lao Tzu to see? ”

Song Nan shouted vaguely: "Someone shot with a firearm, I heard that it was the Jinyi Guard Fire Battalion that appeared in the city, and I was about to come to report it." ”

"Jinyi Guard's Fire Battalion?" Wang Xingren shuddered, and suddenly shouted, "Huh? Where did you get your horses? Where did we get so many horses from the guards on the perimeter? Who are you? Password, password! ”

Wang Yong shouted loudly: "you." ”

"No, the password is wrong." A slow-witted leader of the guards wondered.

Wang Xingren shouted: "They are not their own people, release arrows, release arrows." But the speed of the horse's sprint was not something they could react to, and in an instant, they reached a dozen steps in front of them, and the roar of the fire gun resounded in the ear drums, and Wang Xingren saw the opportunity quickly, and before the suspicious person on the horse fired the fire, Wang Xingren had already fallen to the ground, and he could avoid the first round of shooting from the flying intensity; I only felt that the people around me were screaming like mowing grass and fell, and my body was covered with hot blood.

Wang Xingren was full of gall, got up and turned around and ran, and more than 200 palace guards behind him were a little stunned by this sudden attack. Wang Yong took out the embroidered spring knife and held it up in the air and shouted: "Save ammunition, cut down these eight lambs, and avenge our dead brothers." ”

Hundreds of long knives were like a forest, hooves rumbled, and horses' hooves stepped on the flesh and blood of dozens of servants, splashing countless blood flowers; The cavalry quickly caught up with the fleeing palace guards, and the embroidered spring knives fell one after another, the click of the blades into the bones, the snorting sound of entering the flesh, and the sound of dying screams sounded in all directions were intertwined, like a symphony of death.

Wang Xingren ran a few steps, and felt that he could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry, so he jumped hard, threw himself under the steps of a shop on the street, and shrunk into a ball under the cover of a piece of bluestone.

When the last cavalry rushed to the side, Wang Xingren almost fainted with excitement, and was about to slowly crawl to a safer place in the shadow of the street, when he suddenly felt a pain in his leg, and in horror, he hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a bloody hand holding his calf, and its owner was looking up at himself with a bloody face.

"Commander Wang,...... Save me...... Save me. ”

Wang Xingren kicked his legs together, trying to get rid of the man's tightly grasping hand, but the guard's hand was so hard that it was like a man who had fallen into the water and grabbed a life-saving straw and would not let go.

"Help me...... I'm your good brother Lu Dayou, save me. ”

"Fuck off." Wang Xingren lowered his voice and struggled, the last cavalry had just passed, and the gathering was only a dozen steps, and he didn't dare to make too much noise.

"You...... You don't fucking save you when you die, you shit, what you say on weekdays is a lie. Lu Dayou's bloody face was disappointed.

"Lao Tzu doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you, you can die with peace of mind, I will take care of your wife and children for you, let go and die." Wang Xingren said in a low voice.

"You...... You fuck you. Lu Dayou roared angrily, but unfortunately he had no strength and no voice, and the last cavalryman was already twenty paces away, and he could not be heard at all.

Wang Xingren was anxious to get out, turned his heart sideways, lifted a steel knife on his side and slashed at Lu Dayou's arm, Lu Dayou roared dumbly, watching his arm being cut off by Wang Xingren, and scolded angrily: "You don't have to die well, you dog thief." ”

"Fuck you, you go die first." Wang Xingren regained his freedom and quickly crawled towards the street corner.

"Lao Tzu...... Let you stay with me...... Together...... Die. Lu Dayou's hoarse roar came from behind him, Wang Xingren didn't look back at all, crawled towards the side of the street, and suddenly heard the sound of a sharp bamboo whistle behind him, dripping sharp and piercing, like a sharp knife piercing Wang Xingren's heart, he looked back in amazement, only to see Lu Dayou holding a bamboo whistle in his mouth, baring two rows of Bai Sensen's teeth, and a bloody face was smiling strangely at himself.

Drip-yo-yo! Drip-yo-yo!

The sound of the bamboo whistle was heard far away, and the last two brocade-clothed guards who had already run thirty paces away turned back in amazement, just as they saw Wang Xingren's clumsy figure quickly crawling towards the corner of the street.

"Brother, there's a fish that slipped through the net by pretending to be dead." A pro-guard flag school road.

"I went to kill him, Brother Wang said, none of these guys can stay alive."

"Okay, let's go together."

The two horsemen turned their horses' heads and galloped back, Wang Xingren saw this qiē in his eyes, he stood up and struggled to run towards the depths of the darkness, but the sound of bamboo whistles kept echoing in his ears, and the horse's hooves trampled behind him, but Wang Xingren had no time to look back; Suddenly, Wang Xingren stood still and looked down, only to see a thin blade tip with blood on his chest, and quickly disappeared.

Wang Xingren twisted his head and fell to the ground in a strange posture, and saw the figures of two horses galloping away in his eyes, and immediately the sound of the two of them talking drifted into his ears.

"This guy is really strange, why is he playing the bamboo flute to find his own death, it's also a strange thing."

"Who knows, maybe it's a guy with a bad brain, but in short, it's ...... to fulfill him."

Wang Xingren's eyes darkened, his body flew up lightly, and he fell into endless nothingness.

……

At tea time, nearly 300 guards who were responsible for the outer defense on the street in front of the palace gate were defeated, and the Jinyi guard's personal guard fire battalion rushed outside the palace gate at the cost of zero casualties, however, the delay of this tea was enough to make the guards guarding the palace gate close the gate, and hundreds of guards climbed the corner towers on both sides of the gate and began to block the gate street with arrows.

Faced with such a situation, Song Nan had to order a ban on approaching the left side of the palace, the palace is a city within a city, and he had already appreciated the tightness of his defense, this was still at the door, Song Nan knew that even if he attacked the gate, there was no guarantee that he would be able to drive straight in. Each hall in the palace may become a separate defense system, which is still attacked at the front gate, if it is attacked in the rear, it will be more difficult, because there is a city wall-like inner wall, and the defense materials on the inner wall are abundant, which is not at all something that can be captured by such a small number of people.

Soon after, Hou Dabiao led more than 500 imprisoned Jinyi Wei Banner School from the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households in Ningxia Town to arrive, all of them were wounded, and they suffered a lot in prison, and they were all hungry and inhuman, they held the blades they picked up on the road, but they were all in high spirits.

"My lord, there is a fire in the east on the way here, presumably General Qiu's personal guard battalion encountered the guards in the city on the way, and he was in a hurry that the manpower on the adult's side was insufficient, so he didn't go to reinforce, I don't know if General Qiu can stand it."

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "There is no need for reinforcements, there are still nearly a thousand guards in the city, General Qiu is dragging them down, and it is imperative to attack the palace immediately." ”

Hou Dabiao said: "We only have 700 people, there are 1,500 or 600 guards in the palace, and there are also geographical advantages, my lord, it's a little difficult." ”

Song Nan thought for a while and said: "It's difficult to attack it, if you can't break through the palace before dawn, the West Cliff rebels will definitely divide their troops to help, and then it's really difficult." ”

Wang Yong said anxiously: "What should I do? Assault? ”

Song Nan shook his head and said, "I can't attack it, but I have a plan." ”
