Chapter 113: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada!
Yifeng's eyes are about to fall on the roof!
Because the people on the other side are almost exactly the same as Yifeng's dress.
Black tights, black hood, black silk scarf on face, even the latent movements are almost the same, if it weren't for their sudden appearance, Yifeng really wouldn't have noticed them.
So, Yifeng stabbed Linda beside him and asked suspiciously.
"Your people?"
"Impossible! I definitely didn't arrange for anyone else to come over?"
Linda also shook her head suspiciously.
"Then it's strange, who else could it be but us?"
Yifeng and Linda glanced at each other, smiled gloomily, and decided not to move.
The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, isn't it?
Unlike Yifeng and the others, the man in black on the opposite side did not have this awareness, they saw Prince Adam leaving, they simply appeared directly, and jumped out of the courtyard with a flying column, and the long sword in his hand was obviously not here for a friendly visit.
Although their steps were light, how could they escape the eyes of the Praetorian Guards in this heavily guarded courtyard?
"Enemy attack!"
With the exclamation of one of the squad leaders, the Praetorian Guards pounced on the man in black in the center with their spears raised.
Seeing the man in black who was in the lead, he was very tall, and when he saw the crowd gathered around, he was not surprised or rejoiced, and he held a parchment roll in his hand, and shouted.
"Bold! On the orders of Prince Arthur, come to the rescue! The eldest prince Adam is suspected of rebellion, lay down his arms, and the rest will not be prosecuted!"
Puff~~~
Yifeng was suddenly happy.
"And you say it's not our people?"
With a helper, Yifeng wanted to stand up and go to support.
"Could it be Arthur's arrangement? He arranged manpower, how could I not know?"
But Linda pressed Yifeng's head again and shook her head slightly.
"Let's see. ”
.......
In fact, Prince Arthur didn't have any manpower, and he didn't have time to take care of himself now!
The whole palace was like a huge manor, firmly guarded by walls on all sides. Arthur was now standing outside the palace gates, about a few arrows away.
Because of manpower problems, he could only concentrate on attacking the north gate.
Bright torches illuminated Arthur's slightly iron-blue face. His graceful demeanor was gone, his hair was a little disheveled, and if you looked closely, you could even see scratches on his armor and stains of blood. This is a memorial left by him when he personally went into battle.
"Attack! Attack, attack!"
He wielded a sword in his hand and screamed hysterically, like a madman.
With his order, a team of hundreds of archers stepped forward, some of them held torches, lit the rockets one by one, and the archers threw them out at nearly seventy-five degrees to the sky, which was fire cover!
At the same time, a group of soldiers carrying thick logs, under the cover of the shield-holding soldiers beside them, shouted fiercely and immediately pounced. This is the storming of the city.
Since ancient times, the siege of a city has been the most difficult, relying on nothing more than rushing a car to hit the city gate, and trebuchet throwing stones, or erecting a ladder to climb the city, these are only a handful.
This is the fifth attack of the day, and it can be seen from the burning log remains at the gates and the corpses all over the ground that the siege was in a terrible situation.
Sure enough, at the moment when the rushing car was about to arrive at the palace gate, countless heads suddenly appeared above the city wall, raising their bows and arrows to shoot at the rushing car.
What's even more terrifying is that at the same time, an officer above the city gate held a torch and lit a cauldron one after another.
"Pour!"
With his order, a pot of boiling oil tilted down like magma.
I saw a burst of fire suddenly rise below, accompanied by the screams of the soldiers, and the smell of meat was almost disgusting.
"Your Highness Arthur, withdraw your troops!
Seeing the rushing car ignite the fire again. Alkins, who was beside Arthur, couldn't help but dissuade him in a hurry.
Prince Arthur lacked generals at his disposal, so Yifeng sent Alkins to Arthur's side to assist in command.
"Bastard! What the hell, it's been three prayer hours! I can't even take a small palace gate!"
Prince Arthur threw his sword to the ground in hatred and grabbed Alkins by the collar.
"Reinforcements! Where's the reinforcements?"
Yes, since ancient times, more than ten times the number of troops needed to siege the city, and now Arthur has only gathered thousands of troops with a full battle, and the combat effectiveness is not chaotic first, and most of them are private guards from various families. It's not easy to hold on until now.
"It should be soon, I heard a movement at the west gate just now, presumably Ao Lio has already joined forces inside and outside and opened the city gate!"
Alkins looked west and reassured.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, it is simply impossible to take down the palace gate with our people, let's wait for reinforcements!"
According to Linda's plan, it is best for Arthur's side to raid and capture the palace gate, but if it fails, there is another plan, that is, to attract Prince Adam's troops and create conditions for Yifeng and others to infiltrate.
It was not that Prince Arthur did not understand these truths, but the stakes were so high that he had to harden his heart again and order.
"Organize another attack, this damn Adam hasn't appeared yet, and I don't know how Yifeng is going!"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden earth-shattering cheer from the city wall, and then the fully armed figure of Prince Adam appeared.
"Arthur, you better give up! With your little strength, you also want to break through the palace gate? If you surrender, our brothers will leave you a way to live!"
The arrival of Prince Adam clearly boosted the momentum of the defenders. On the city wall, everyone raised their weapons in their hands and drank loudly.
"Surrender! Surrender!"
The deafening shout almost discolored Arthur's army. Arthur, however, was not overjoyed.
Finally showed up, so you know what?
I'm not afraid of you showing up, as soon as you appear, there will be something in your rear home!
He looked at the invincible Adam at the head of the city, and smiled knowingly.
.......
However, the two of them, who had high hopes for Arthur, did not take any action.
Because it is impossible for Adam's Praetorian Guard to obey the command of the man in black, let alone the man in black who claims to be Arthur's man?
At that time, the entire courtyard, with swords and swords, was in a mess.
Obviously, those who can infiltrate the palace are masters. I saw that the black-clothed man in the leader slashed the long sword in his hand, and a golden light was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and suddenly spread out in a ripple shape, and all the Praetorian Guards who touched it were like fallen leaves that had been blown over, and their bodies turned back irrepressibly, and then fell to the ground.
"What kind of ability is it to bully a creep?"
There is no shortage of capable men under Adam who can strictly guard the rear.
Hearing a loud shout, a blonde lion king stepped out of the door, this is the old and strong Xiusi.
Like a fierce lion, he clenched the long knife in his hand with both hands, and one of them floated into the air, and his head was a full blow.
Bang~~~
Sparks fly!
The man in black blocked the long sword in his hand, his legs were weak, he knelt down on one knee, and the other foot sank deep into the ground.
What a powerful lion fight!
However, what was even more shocking was that the old lion king Xiusi, his face flashed red, and he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but instead withdrew his sword and retreated half a step, fully alert.
"You, who the hell are you, how could you be the Lionheart's unique stunt?"
It is known that Edward the Lionheart had only three sons. It is simply impossible to pass on a family martial art like this to others. Now that Arthur and Adam are not there, the crowd is ready to come out!
Yifeng was also horrified.
"Bastards!!They're impostors!?"
