Chapter 171: The Snow of Slaughter
Crystal snowflakes are falling, and the atmosphere in the air is even colder. It was the first snow of the year, but it was longer and more intense than ever.
Snowflakes fell onto the slightly empty streets, and hurried pedestrians stopped. Everyone opened their hands and let the cold melt into their palms. Almost everyone realizes that something big is about to happen.
The snow fell onto a lavishly decorated courtyard with a myriad of cobblestone paths and a shallow bay with a wooden bridge over it. Everything was covered with a thin layer of snowflakes at this time, and the courtyard, which was already very serious, looked like a castle in the sky, and it was even more difficult to approach.
"It's snowing?"
"It's snowing."
As a young voice rang out, he was answered by another neutral voice.
"Meet the city lord, everything is ready now, just waiting for your order!"
"Good! Pass my orders and start the army now!! ”
"Yes!" After the other man received the order, there was a sound of footsteps and then faded away.
The middle-aged man who had given the order took a step outward, and the dim light of the sky shone on his criss-crossed face, making it easy to recognize his identity. That's right, he is the contemporary city lord of Yanyang City, Fan Zuolin!
Before, the emperor of the Pyeongchang Kingdom heard about the recent rumors about the assassination of the imperial court officials in the city of Yanyang, and it turned out that he had always been behind the scenes, and it was no wonder that when the six princes intervened to find out the blood Tan organization, the emperor said that he had only investigated the surface, and he was far from touching the truth that was hidden under the pool.
But when it comes to the reason why he did this, Chen Chen can guess more or less if he is here. Chen Chen had seen his extraordinary ambition before, and he had even heard of "if he took the supreme position to sit", which almost revealed his entire plan to Chen Chen.
That's why he hired the Blood Tan Organization to assassinate Chenchen later. Although he failed in the end, Chen Chen was just a small pebble for the whole plan, and at most he made his carriage bump a little, so he didn't care about him after that.
But in fact, Chen Chen had already slightly guessed who was behind the scenes, after all, he didn't know who wanted his life. So he kept reminding Huangfu Tianyou to pay more attention to these people who hired killers, but unfortunately he was led away by the nose in the end.
Speaking again, although the city lord of Yanyang wants to rebel in his heart, the city lord near the imperial city is not allowed to have his own army, at most, he can send his own Praetorian Guard to protect himself when his life is at stake, and there is no other means of attack. So he set his sights on the nearby cities, thinking that if he received the Praetorian Guards of all the nearby cities under his command, he would have the strength to fight with the Yulin Army.
So he's been trying to weaken the city defenses of other city lords lately, or he's directly hired an assassination organization to help clear some obstacles for himself. For him to sit on such a large city, these things are all easy to operate.
Coupled with the connections he has made on weekdays, he promised to help him at a critical moment. It all seemed so seamless, and until now everything was in the palm of your hand. Aside from the recent rumors, this is not the result of his operation, but the chaotic situation can make it easier for him to hide himself, so he doesn't care.
"This is the last city lord in the vicinity, as long as I defeat him, half of the imperial city will be in my pocket." But this last city lord can't be underestimated either, according to the information collected by Fan Zuolin, he has also accumulated a lot of strength in secret.
"Wait and see, we don't know who will kill the deer in the end." Fan Zuolin raised his head, there were gray clouds in the sky, frosting all over the ground, and endless flying cotton wool in the middle, no matter where it looked like it was, it was a vast white, making it impossible to see.
The snowflakes fell in front of the opposing formation, and along with the snowflakes came the orders of the city lord. So, in the vast snow trails, the deafening drums sounded over and over again, like thunder in the sky, and large groups of snowflakes filled this solemn battlefield.
The clash of metals sparked between them. The crowd around him is full of black pressure, which not only forms a sharp contrast with other dazzling whites, but also raises the temperature around him by a few degrees.
"Kill !!!"
The flickering blade pierced through the armor, drawing an arc in the air along with the crimson blood. As time passed, more and more red soaked the snow, and more and more flesh and metal spread to the ground, and even the snowflakes did not have time to accumulate.
However, the drums on both sides did not stop, and the latecomers did not seem to have the slightest mercy for those who had fallen before, and they rushed to step on the body of the predecessors and embark on the path of the predecessors.
The snowflakes fell into the glorious palace, and a white figure sketched out of the snow, saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the two of them are now in full swing. ”
The emperor sitting on the stone bench in front of him was still calm, and he lowered his head and tasted the tea in his hand. It was as if everything that was happening was under his control: "How's the battle going?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the battlefield at this time is very tragic, and the remaining numbers on both sides are less than half."
"Good!" The teacup in the emperor's hand lightly slammed the table next to him, making a crisp sound of "dang". "It's time to make a move."
Almost everyone thought it was a simple war, with the winner taking the lead and the loser taking the lead, and no one complained about it. But when the Yulin Army, which belonged to the royal family alone, rushed over, the formations of these two sides were invariably chaotic.
"That's? The Royal Army? ”
"Retreat, retreat quickly!!!"
But with so many people, how can it be said that retreat can be retreated? The two sides had been fighting for a long time, and the people on both sides were already very tired, and the royal feather forest army was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep at this time, easily letting the men and horses fall in large numbers everywhere they went. From above, the original two neat squares collapsed because of the addition of a third party, and the harvest-like slaughter even caused a narrow vacuum belt to appear around the Yulin Army.
That's right, neither side won the final victory in this battle, and they were all routed by the sudden appearance of the Yulin army. But when the main forces of the two sides were completely annihilated, this ghostly Yulin army disappeared in the snow like everyone's nightmare.
