Chapter 956: Jinyi Guard in action
Under the hazy moonlight.
A large army rushed in, without torches, without noise, running indifferently and silently, like a group of killing gods drilled out of hell, with swords in their hands and crossbows reflecting the moonlight, which was extremely cold and sharp.
The leader is none other than Shan Dao Zhen.
Xu Shiji's troops entered the city as the second battle sequence, and Xue Rengui's army was one step later, in order to earn more military merits, Xu Shiji particularly emphasized that the troops fought and rushed violently, passed through the palace as soon as possible, and killed the imperial city, and it was best to take the imperial city one step ahead of Xue Rengui's army and rob the immortal merit.
The troops are fast and can fight, even if the lawsuit is fought in front of the King of Han, they are not afraid.
Therefore, during the pre-war deployment, Xu Shiji emphasized several generals under him.
Shan Dao really made meritorious contributions, led the army to fight and rush all the way, and did not love to fight, plus accidentally took a shortcut, and finally left Xue Rengui's troops behind, looking at the front of the palace and the dense buildings, I don't know where I went, thinking about whether to catch a guide and ask.
The army rushed out of a street, and the front suddenly opened up.
A solemn army appeared in front of them, and countless crossbows were aimed at them, exuding a cold luster.
Shan Dao was really shocked, and quickly stopped, shouting: "Quick, retreat, retreat." ”
Rushing out of the streets and alleys is an open square without shelter, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows shot together, no number of people are enough to kill, and if you don't retreat, you are looking for death.
But many soldiers have already rushed forward, and it is not easy to retreat.
At this moment, Shan Dao really broke out in a cold sweat and shouted loudly.
An open area ahead.
The army that was waiting for him stared coldly at the army that rushed out, like a hungry wolf seeing the rabbits sent to the door with a fierce light in their eyes, and the killing intent suddenly exploded.
The general even raised the command flag and shouted: "Ready-"
"Knock knock!"
Almost at the same time, black things fell from the sky and fell at the feet of the generals, snorting and smoking, which was particularly strange under the moonlight and made people's scalps tingle.
The general did not know why, looked in panic, and forgot to give the order.
Before I could see what it was, suddenly—
"Boom, boom!"
Explosions rang out one after another, and a ball of skyrocketing fireballs rose from the enemy army, engulfing the generals, and they were particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
The terrifying blast wave of the explosion shook the surrounding soldiers out, letting out a terrible scream.
In the blink of an eye, countless generals were killed on the spot, and the army had no command, forgot to shoot, and stared at the explosive fireballs one by one, their faces full of shock.
Shan Daozhen already knew the existence of the grenade, and he also knew the entire battle plan, so he immediately reacted and shouted excitedly: "Brothers, it was Jinyiwei who secretly assisted and assassinated the enemy general, the enemy army is in chaos, and the military merit is in front, rush up with me and kill them all!" ”
"Kill—"
The soldiers were in high spirits and rushed forward one by one screaming.
The bolts roared away, weaving into a deadly net in the moonlight, and fell towards the enemy's pocket.
The enemy reacted from the shock of the explosion, but it was too late, and the crossbow bolt fiercely sank into the body of a famous soldier, taking away one life after another, fierce, brutal, and ruthless!
The enemy's formation was in chaos, and without the command of the generals, the military formation, which was still murderous just now, instantly turned into a rabble, lost morale, and fled in all directions.
Shan Dao Zhen would let the duck fly away, and ordered the army to chase and kill, while looking for the shadow of Jinyiwei everywhere, but the surroundings were gray, the visibility was limited, and he couldn't see Jinyiwei, so he clenched his fists and shouted: "Under the command of General Xiaxu, Shan Daozhen, thank you Brother Jinyiwei for your help!" ”
"General Shan, it's important to kill the enemy!"
On a roof, Zhang Long answered in a loud voice, jumped off the ground with agility, waved his big hand, and quickly left with the remaining battalion of brothers, killing in the direction of the imperial city.
The palace and the imperial city were separated, and they were collectively known as the imperial palace.
The palace is divided into three parts, the harem, the middle palace and the front palace, which are separated by tall walls.
The harem is the place where the concubine lives and lives, the middle palace is the place where the emperor lives, rests, works and meets the courtiers, there are the Ganlu Palace, the Liangyi Hall in the middle, the princess hall, the Baifu Palace, the Chengqing Palace, etc. in the west, and the Wanchun Palace, the Lizheng Palace, the Wude Hall and the treasury in the east.
The Ganlu Hall is in the harem, next to the middle palace, separated by a door, and the door is called the Ganlu Gate.
It was pitch black in the Ganlu Palace, and I didn't know if there were any government soldiers, but the Ganlu Gate was heavily guarded, and the torches were beating brightly, illuminating the four directions, and it could be seen that there were many soldiers on the city wall, waiting for the crossbow, and the murderous aura could be felt from afar.
Zhang Long led people to rush to the vicinity of the Ganlu Temple, looked at the army that was waiting solemnly, and his own people rushed up to send them to death, so they retreated decisively, went west, passed the Confucius Temple, and some distance further was Anren Gate.
Anren Gate is connected to the Princess Courtyard, which is also heavily guarded, but it is looser than the Ganlu Gate.
If you don't break the door, it will be very troublesome for the follow-up army to kill.
Zhang Long motioned for the army to hide in the dark, calmly observed for a moment, signaled the battalion commander to get close, and advised: "Rush to the city gate here for a maximum of ten breaths, select a few brothers who can run fast and bring explosive bags, and the others wait for my order to work together to suppress the enemy on the city gate, cover up, and blow up the city gate." ”
"It's just such a person, even if you break the door, it's hard to get in." The battalion commander reminded.
Although the Jinyi Guard has strong combat effectiveness, the strength of a battalion is only 300, and the enemy army is tens of thousands at a glance.
Zhang Long was full of guts, thoughtful, thought about it, and said: "Get ready first, it is estimated that it should have arrived that year, it really can't be done, let's not love to fight after we go in, we rush all the way, the enemy can't catch up, and I'm not afraid to chase it, killing the enemy in the movement is, as long as the city gate is blown up, the brother troops behind will kill in." ”
"It makes sense, our task is to create panic, and we can't create panic without killing it." The battalion commander reacted, responded solemnly, and hurriedly went to make arrangements.
Soon, the army was ready for a strong attack.
Zhang Long pricked up his ears and listened for a while, seeing that the friendly army was still a little far away, it was estimated that he was entangled by the enemy army, and it would be difficult to kill him in a short time, so he didn't plan to wait, so he made an offensive gesture decisively.
The soldiers were already ready, and when they saw the order, they lit their grenades and threw them with all their might.
The grenade made a terrible arc in the moonlight, landing precisely on the walls.
"Boom, boom!" Explosions rang out.
The defenders on the city wall were taken by surprise, and countless people were killed, shaken and scattered.
Several brocade guards who had been on standby for a long time took the opportunity to rush up and rushed to the city gate cave in one go.
Anren Gate is not big, a wooden vermilion lacquer is open, bolted from the inside, the hole in the city gate is not deep, but it is not a big problem to accommodate more than a dozen people, everyone is very safe to hide inside, and they have explosives bags in the dark.
Zhang Ying saw his own people rushing forward, and decisively ordered to stop the attack, saving a small number of grenades.
The defenders on the city wall took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, and they all showed their heads to check, and scolded loudly, but they couldn't see a single person, and they were even more angry, and they shot arrows into the darkness.
The brocade guards were well hidden, not worried about being shot, and waited patiently.
Not long after, Zhang Long saw the signal from the city gate, was overjoyed, and shouted: "Brothers, grenade cover!" ”
"Whoosh!"
Countless grenades flew over and landed on the city walls again, exploding huge fireballs.
The defenders on the city walls were in chaos again, with numerous casualties.
The person in charge of planting the explosives bag lights the fuse and runs away.
