The crossbow arrows of the city crossbow were like a short spear, piercing the flesh and blood of men and horses and piercing into the gaps between the bluestone slabs in the square, like fine iron arrows thick as the thickness of children's arms, trembling and buzzing, and the blood of the cavalry corpses under the arrows surged wildly.

Many people didn't react, including the rebels and the forbidden army in the imperial city, tens of thousands of people looked at this scene stupidly, not daring to believe their eyes, such a huge crossbow arrow shot through the body of the cavalry, more like an iron rod of heavenly punishment, smashed down from outside the Nine Heavens Cloud.

A dead silence, a cold fear, spread across the square.

On the glorious cavalry, the three flag-carrying officers did not react, they looked stupidly at the cavalry in front of them that turned into blood foam, looked at the juice of the internal organs that were squeezed out on the ground, and did not know how to react.

Horses are different from people, even if they are the war horses that are picked up in ten thousand, seeing this scene, they feel the fear of the crossbow arrows, and the instinct of the creature makes the three horses neigh in unison, and after being frightened, they run to the side and back.

A moment later, two military flags were unfurled in the morning breeze...... However, he returned to the rebel camp in embarrassment, while another bright yellow dragon flag fell miserably on the flat ground of the square, rolled up in a ball, and looked very unbearable.

Because the sergeant holding the flag was frightened by the crossbow of this city, and the war horse under the seat was frightened and galloped, he did not hold it firmly for a while, and fell this dragon flag to the ground!

Tens of thousands of Qing troops up and down the imperial city were still dead silent at this time, but their eyes had moved from the bloody mud in the square to the flag, the dragon flag that represented the royal dignity of the Qing Kingdom and the invincible will of the Qing army - this flag that seemed to be flying in front of the army forever, the flag that did not fall, actually fell miserably to the ground like this!

The emotions in tens of thousands of eyes are mixed. It's angry, it's wrong.

Above the imperial city, Fan Xian squinted at this scene. smiled at the eldest prince beside him and said, "The effect is good." Isn't it?"

The eldest prince did not answer, thinking that the prince would raise troops today, but at this moment, even the dragon flag was lost. What a shame for adults.

The forbidden army above the Imperial City. Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers in unison, and these cheers were undoubtedly on the faces of tens of thousands of rebels under the imperial city. A hard whip.

......

......

At this moment, the empty-handed flagless cavalry had returned to the rebel camp. He sat on his horse with his head bowed, trembling all over, knowing that he was bound to face a harsh punishment of military regulations, as a standard-bearer. What a glorious ministry it is. He unexpectedly dropped the dragon flag to the ground.

The hundred horsemen in the middle camp of the rebel army gradually separated, and the prince Li Chengqian, dressed in bright armor. Under the arch guard of several generals. Slowly walked out. He only glanced at the cavalryman and said nothing.

The prince's eyes were gentle, but the cavalryman felt extremely ashamed. He gritted his teeth and twisted the horse's head, ready to go to the square to snatch back the dragon flag that had fallen to the ground, even if he died.

Right now. To everyone's surprise, a general beside the prince urged the horse out. Came to the side of the cavalryman. said: "The two armies clash, the one who loses the flag." Chop!"

As soon as the word was spoken, the cavalryman was shocked. Subconsciously closed his eyes, but struggled to stand up straight. Then I felt the chill on my neck.

The general put away his sword and returned, without looking at the corpse of the cavalryman who fell to the ground beside him, and squeezed a cold snort from his nose, and the horse under the seat swept out like lightning as soon as he clamped the horse's belly. In an instant, he galloped out of the rebel camp and stabbed straight into the midbelly of the square under the imperial city.

Right in front of the dragon flag curled up on the ground!

Tens of thousands of rebels did not all know the general. But they knew what the general was going to do, and they couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts, and their blood rushed up, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, shouting rhythmically.

In the midst of this iron-blooded awe-inspiring crowd shouting. The general's horse was like a flying dragon, and its four hooves seemed to soar into the air, piercing straight under the imperial city like a sharp arrow.

Ride alone in the empty square of the spotlight, and gallop on the imperial city pierced by crossbow arrows. How magnificent.

The speed of the horse is extremely fast, and the skill of the horse is even better, and it seems that a straight line goes straight to the top of the imperial city. In fact, it is moving along a strange trajectory. Although there are some detours. But he was so full of momentum that it only took a moment of effort to rush to the middle of the square.

Until this time, the crossbow above the imperial city still did not send out a branch.

The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army and the Supervision Yuan next to the huge city defense crossbow were in a cold sweat, they couldn't catch the rebel general's advance path at all, and the other party seemed to be able to keenly capture the rate of fire and the defense range of the imperial city defense crossbow at such a high speed.

Fan Xian squinted at this scene, feeling as if it was just a blink of an eye, and the rebel general had already rushed to his feet and rushed to the dragon flag.

The power of the city's crossbow has just been demonstrated once. The rebel general resolutely rushed over, this kind of momentum and courage was really heartbreaking, for some reason, Fan Xian suddenly thought of Wang Shisanlang, and his heart moved slightly.

His hand was about to be raised, but with great perseverance he ordered himself to let it go slowly. This small action did not fall in the eyes of the eldest prince, because the eldest prince was also looking at the scene of the two armies seizing power in front of the imperial city with an awe-inspiring face.

The two armies intersected, and the momentum was the first. The flag is the momentum, and the capture of the flag is the capture of the momentum!

Immediately the rebel sailed to the Dragon Banner. did not slow down, with superb riding skills on one foot to hang on the pedal, one hand poked down, and easily picked up the dragon flag.

At this time, although Fan Xian lowered his arm, he was responsible for operating the crossbow team guarding the city, but he refused to let go of this great opportunity and pulled the heavy crossbow machine spring buckle. :|Excuse me.

......

......

A horse neighed into the sky, and I saw that the rebel general under the imperial city seemed to guess when the crossbow to defend the city was fired, and he actually took half a minute in advance, lifted the reins of the horse, kicked his feet in the belly of the beloved rider, and shouted wildly, so that the rider stood up!

The front hooves of the war horse hung in the air, and the huge body was forcibly twisted, and it made a stunned hovering in the air. The rebel general held the Ming Yellow Dragon Flag in one hand, and violently lifted the reins of the horse in the other, and rode obliquely on the war horse standing on the person, which was illuminated by the rising sun. Heroic and fierce.

At this time, the huge crossbow of the city was shot in front of them.

The belly of a horse. Stick it diagonally!

A subway crossbow as thick as an arm pierced into the bluestone slab of the square. Rubble flew around, but not even a single hair of the rebel general was bruised.

The rebel crutched his left elbow. Reins are retracted. The steed turned to the left and neighed. Both hooves hit the ground, and the muscles of the whole body loosened and tightened. Like a light smoke, he ran straight back, ran back to the rebel camp in a dashing manner, and ran back to His Royal Highness the Prince.

The rebel did not dismount. just planted the Ming Yellow Dragon Flag heavily on the ground. The flagpole is in the ground and stands tall. Once again, the dragon flag was unfurled in the morning breeze. Shine.

Then he twisted the horse's head. Silent, looking at the two small black dots above the imperial city.

It's just counting the breath time. This rebel has done something that most people would never be able to do. From the moment he jumped out of the camp, tens of thousands of rebels began to shout, and as he recaptured the Dragon Banner. Rushing back to the middle camp, tens of thousands of people cheered higher and higher......

And when the rebel put the dragon flag back on the ground. When the flag is fluttering in the wind. The cheers of the rebels have finally reached the extreme!

......

......

"Strong ......" Fan Xian gently wiped the cold sweat on his palms, and at this moment expressed his opinion that as one of the coaches, he should never express himself. "In my Daqing army, there are indeed countless fierce generals. No wonder no one is invincible. ”

Fan Xian smiled and said, "It's Gong Dian...... He has been the deputy commander of the forbidden army for so many years. Of course, my understanding of the crossbow land is much stronger than that of you and me. What's more, he himself is a master of the eighth grade, with the body of a general. Courage to risk death to capture the flag, such courage. It's admirable. ”

The eldest prince frowned slightly and said, "It turned out to be him...... No wonder. No wonder...... General Gong has been herding horses on the border of Dingzhou since he was a child, and he is known as the first in the army. ”

It was not the first time Fan Xian had heard of the origin of the palace code, he quietly looked at the middle camp of the rebels, and found that most of the people surrounding the crown prince were the generals of the Qin family. In the Ye family of Dingzhou, it seems that only one palace canon appeared there.

Gong Dian, the former deputy commander of the forbidden army and the minister of guard of Qingguo, was once a close confidant of Emperor Qing. But because Emperor Qing was suspicious of Ye Jiadi. The choice to use the Hanging Temple was chosen for a spurious reason. sent Gong Dian to prison.

The Hanging Temple. Fan Xian participated in it from beginning to end. He had also been seriously injured once, and many of the secrets in it were still unclear, but he knew that His Majesty the Emperor did not know that it was today's Kyoto because of his suspicions. How much terrible opposition was brought.

Fan Xiandi's heart moved again. The eldest princess Chen Pingping and Lin Ruofu have said on different occasions that Your Majesty has no earthly weakness in this life, but because of his suspicion, he can be defeated.

The eldest prince suddenly raised his head and said, "It's a tie." ”

Fan Xian nodded, he knew what the eldest prince meant by the draw. The rebels are besieging the palace, and with the defensive strength of the palace, they can't support it for a few days anyway, so they must use the most direct means to strike down the momentum of the rebels at the very beginning. Although he did not dare to hope that he could win the hearts of the army by capturing the flag, at least he could not make it impossible for the other party to rush in in one go, forming a relatively slow momentum.

That's why there will be a sniper in front of Zhengyang Gate to the extreme. Only then will the city defense crossbow be used for the first time in half a century, even if it is only one sniper. Also snipe the rebels chilled.

However, the chic capture of the flag by Gong Dian has made this momentum turn back again. Fortunately, although the rebels are once again vigorous at this time, looking at the opponent's position, they should not attack immediately.

The rebels have a clear advantage, why not attack immediately, Fan Xian can calculate a few points. The palace defense has a natural advantage. The high walls of the city are thick and the crossbows are sharp, and the power in the palace has reached death. If the rebels come to attack, this kind of lethality of putting them to death and resurrecting them will make the prince think twice.

And the more critical question is, who will attack?

"Although the heavenly soldiers I hope for have not yet arrived. Fan Xian smiled gently at the eldest prince and said: "But I think the rebels are actually very troublesome, they are not monolithic, nominally Ye Qin and the two families support the prince, but what will the prince think in his heart? Ye Chong is the second father-in-law......

He raised his hand and pointed to a distant military horse on the right, and said, "The second child and Ye Zhong should be over there, you said that the prince was willing to let the old Qin family people charge into battle, but let the second child choose a big advantage?"

The eldest prince said calmly: "Of course, the second child is reluctant to let his father-in-law go out, he has a lot of things in his heart, if the final capital is finished, how will Cheng Qian clean him up in the future." He knew it. ”

"Exactly. Fan Xian gently patted the blue brick wall of the imperial city, looking at the rebel camp that was slowly approaching the imperial city in front of him. He whispered, "These two brothers of ours have evil intentions. It's not negotiable. I can't fight. ”

"Of course, no matter how you look at it. They are all lions. We are sheep...... But they don't want to lose too much, so they will definitely persuade them to surrender. Fan Xian lowered his head and said, "The prince is a gentle man. ”

The crown prince is a righteous name. It's not that I'm here to rebel, so if I don't say a few high-sounding words. Just like that, isn't it that the archway is not opened, and it is ready to pick up customers?

Fan Xian decided that this was something that all rebels would never be able to do. So he waited quietly for the crown prince Li Chengqian to speak.

......

......

Tens of thousands of rebels have been assembled. formed a formation and slowly pressed towards the imperial city. The black pressure on the ground was like a dark cloud pressing down on the city. It's heart-wrenching to watch. Rebels like a black cloud. Stopped two arrows away from the Imperial City, in the midst of a sea of people. The rebel battalion slowly drove out of several people. It was the prince and the important generals beside him.

The prince was surrounded by the generals of the Qin family, and the palace code that had previously shown a very chic hand was left behind the two horsemen.

Fan Xian squinted at this scene. Seeing a lot of content clearly, Gong Dian followed the prince. This must be the loyal attitude of the Ye family. However, the crown prince did not have much trust in the Ye family.

On the right hand of the prince is the old man Qin, who is back in battle today. Wearing the armor that has not been worn for a long time, the old ground contains the murderous aura accumulated on the battlefield for countless years. In the past, the muddy eyes are now staring at the descendants of the imperial city like eagles, and there is no trace of old age at all.

With the authority of the old man Qin in the Qingguo Palace. There is no doubt that he is the heart of today's rebel army

The Queen Mother believed in him, and the Prince also believed in him. He also reciprocated to the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince.

It's just that those few strands of white hair seeped out of the armor, and they looked a little lonely by the morning breeze in Kyoto.

Fan Xian's eyesight is excellent. looked at the veteran of the Qingguo military in silence, but for some reason, he thought of the previous life when he watched the 98 World Cup, after the semi-finals between Brazil and the Netherlands, Zagallo was walking in the wind on the sidelines, and his little white hair was blown desolate.

It's not emptying. It's not that he was distracted, but he just subconsciously remembered that scene, Fan Xian took a deep breath, thinking that Zagallo's generations of merits, after winning that one, it would be a bleak ending after all, how can you Old Man Qin be an exception!

At this moment, the old man Qin, who was cursed by Fan Xian, glanced at the prince, slowly spoke, and said to the forbidden troops above the imperial city: "You are a soldier of Qingguo. How dare you help Fan Xian, a traitor who kills the monarch and rebels? and the prince listen to Xuan ......"

As soon as Old Man Qin spoke, the air in the square above the entire Imperial City buzzed!

Fan Xiandi's eyes shrank, and he and the eldest prince glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes-Old Man Qin is so strong in cultivation, so profound!

......

......

Fan Xian quietly wiped the sweat of his palm on the green bricks, he had been guessing who the real powerhouse of the Qin family was, but in any case, he never thought that the Qin family was hiding the nine products of the earth, and it was actually the old man Qin himself!

The old and frail old guy. It's actually a super powerhouse on the nine grades!

This fact suddenly rushed into Fan Xiandi's heart, making his face ugly. The Qin family has been in the world for decades, and the old man Qin has always sat in the position of the first person in the Qingguo military, even if Yan Xiaoyi is extremely arrogant, he is extremely respectful to him, which is really reasonable.

Fan Xian's right index finger trembled slightly, not afraid, but excited, when he sniped Yan Xiaoyi, he sniped so hard, and today he sniped this old man, presumably the sense of accomplishment will be stronger.

However, when he glanced at the palace in silence following the rebels in the camp, his right index finger regained his calm again, and shouted under the city wall: "Qin Ye!"

At this time, Old Man Qin's first sentence had not yet been finished, Fan Xian had already drunk these two words, these two words were mixed with his domineering true spirit, although it was not as pure and grand as Old Man Qin's voice, but it was extremely violent, and immediately suppressed Old Man Qin's voice!

Tens of thousands of people in the city and under the city all set their eyes on Fan Xian above the imperial city.

Old Man Qin frowned slightly, as if he didn't expect the domineering true qi in Fan Xian's body to be so strong, let alone that he would hear this name that he hadn't heard for a long time under the imperial city.

Qin Ye: In this world, who else dares to call herself like this except the Queen Mother?

Fan Xian dared. The faces of the generals of the Qin family beside the crown prince all showed angry expressions.

......

......

"Qin Ye!"

Fan Xian shouted again, and it spread all over the palace, shocking everyone's minds and gathering Old Man Qin's attention.

Separated from a very long distance, in the midst of all the attention, Fan Xian looked at the place where Old Man Qin was, and said quietly: "You are just a son, where is he?"

Qin Heng entered through the Zhengyang Gate, the closest distance, but until this moment, the rebels had been surrounded, and he still hadn't arrived, and the rebel generals had already been secretly worried about this matter, and when they heard Fan Xian's words, they couldn't help but feel a palpitation in their hearts.

Old Man Qin's eyes narrowed, but he didn't have a shocked expression.

After a slight pause, Fan Xian said in a cold voice, "You should have guessed something yourself...... Yes, your eldest son was killed by my subordinate Jing Ge in the camp, and Qin Heng was sniped to death by the Supervision Yuan in Zhengyangmen today!"

"If you dare to betray Your Majesty, I will be able to make your old Qin family ...... Cut off children and grandchildren!"

......

......

What vicious words, what a thorn in the hearts of the people! It made the battlefield fall into a suffocating silence again in an instant. The eldest prince glanced at him, lowered his voice and said, "At this time, it doesn't seem to be a good choice for you to make the old man mad. ”

Fan Xian stared at the place where the crown prince Li Chengqian was, and said quietly: "I just want to see if the old guy is mad and the prince is not crazy, will there be some problems between them." ”

The development of the situation did not continue according to Fan Xian's thoughts, after the old man Qin heard Fan Xian's vicious words, he just slowly lowered his head, and then slowly raised his head, the old face wrapped in armor was indifferent, without a trace of emotional change.

"Fan Xian, I thank you in advance for helping the old man solve a question that has been going on for many years. Old Man Qin said slowly, his voice spreading in all directions, "My eldest son was picked in the camp, and the thief should have died in the prison, and the same was true when I checked the archives later, but I never found the body of the thief...... Now I know that it was taken by the old black dog. ”

The military veteran said slowly: "I will leave you a whole corpse, and as for Chen Pingping, I will let him suffer tens of millions." ”

"As for Qin Heng, the old man has always had confidence in this kid, even if you can stop him for a moment under the Zhengyang Gate, how can you help him. Old Man Qin said indifferently: "Even if he dies, what will happen? The general will inevitably die in battle, if he dies in your tricks, then he will die with the glory of death." ”

"Cut off children and grandchildren?...... I haven't even been afraid of your demon mother, do you think you can anger the old man with these two sentences?" Old Man Qin looked at the juniors in the city with a sneering gaze, and said word by word.

......

......

"The old guy is already crazy, see how long he can pretend...... When people are old and dying, this kind of nonsense is especially abundant. ”

Like Old Man Qin, Fan Xian finally learned a secret that he had guessed for a long time at this time, he sighed in his heart, turned his eyes slightly, and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beside Old Man Qin sincerely, and said sincerely before the prince spoke:

"Cheng Qian, come down. ”

......
