Chapter 16: A Narrow Encounter
Following the captain's tiger steps, he was unconsciously affected by the serious atmosphere around him, and he couldn't help but speed up, and soon came to the North City Tower
At this time, the north city tower has obviously been under martial law, although the city wall has long been strictly guarded by heavily armed soldiers, patrolling soldiers come and go, almost without interruption, only a few steps to meet a team, I don't know when so many soldiers came, but the north city tower has been densely surrounded by three layers, the innermost layer, is the elite forbidden army, gold armor, majestic
Xiao Zheng and Xixue followed behind the captain and walked unimpeded to the center, that is, the gate of the North City Tower
"Steward, Xiao Gongzi cherishes the snow girl!"
"Well, I know!" Mr. Liao said lightly, but by the light of the fire, the anger on his face was clearly revealed on Mr. Liao's wrinkled face
"The chief manager (grandfather)" Xiao Zheng and the two bowed together
"The situation has changed, Xi Xue has a token to enter the palace, Xiao Zheng, you will bring an elite garrison into the palace to rescue the driver!" said Chief Liao solemnly, but his anger did not diminish in the slightest
"Me?" Xiao Zheng said in surprise: "Chief, there are many seniors in the army who are proficient in strategy and generals who are good at fighting, it's not appropriate for me to go!"
"There are still tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the palace, there will be nothing to do, you are mainly going to solve the troubles outside the imperial city!" A seemingly ordinary soldier on the side said indifferently: "And there will be a secret sentry to accompany you!"
"Yes!" Xiao Zheng immediately responded, this is obviously a test, or exercise, naturally can not let go, he is a newcomer, no roots, even if he will become Liao Wuchang's son-in-law in the future, but the necessary credit is indispensable, and military merit is the best way, that is, to convince people, maybe you can earn some benefits, at this time Xiao Zheng is vindictive, like a straight spear to set up
"Before leaving, listen to what they have to say!" Yang Lin said a little gloomily, Xiao Zheng heard this, and looked at the eleven officers who were tied up in the middle, and the leader was the commander named Da Niu
"Little brother!" Da Niu smiled bitterly and continued: "The wives and children of the thousand brothers under his command are all in the hands of King Gejun, and King Gejun is using this to control us, and he has given each of us a pill, which has greatly improved the internal strength of each of us!"
"No, how can it be that all of them are eyeing your subordinates, and the rest of the people are not!" Xiao Zheng himself had a good image of this commander, but when he heard this, he questioned
"Of course King Gejun wouldn't be so stupid, but he didn't understand that in order to improve the deployment of officers to soldiers in the army, he could better implement orders, and it would not take a while to disrupt the rearrangement, but he didn't expect that this time it happened to be in my department, I thought that King Gejun was just going to cultivate power, but I didn't expect that there were so many people, and then I confirmed them one by one, only to find out that it was wrong, because after we improved our strength, everyone was already very strong, if we create chaos together, I'm afraid the entire military camp will be destroyed!" At this time, the big cow was already with tears in his eyes and blamed himself
"You must have looked for King Gejun!" Xiao Zheng continued
"Yes, we questioned the purpose of King Gejun, but King Gejun actually killed one of my brothers in front of me, and killed his entire family, so until now, I brought my brothers here!" Da Niu roared angrily, everyone in the audience was silent, King Gejun, as a royal family, has made all the soldiers feel a little chilled, but the soldiers all believe that His Majesty will definitely give everyone a result
"Report! The Xiying rebellion has been eliminated!" At this moment, a piece of good news suddenly came
"Then do you know that there are still those places where there are thieves!" Xiao Zheng asked suddenly, and everyone present looked at Xiao Zheng in shock
"It's not that yet!" said in a deep voice
"Chief, if Da Niu and the others don't come to report today, if there is a rebellion tomorrow, will Da Niu and the others still have the possibility of turning back, and how can the seniors in charge of that result not know! They are not the kind of waste like Chen Shubao, they are soldiers!" Xiao Zheng doesn't like history, but he likes history, what he doesn't like is that the people who die in the history books are ordinary people, and what he likes is to save the world every night when he dreams
"Immediately! 50,000 people marched into the imperial capital, Yang Lin was the main general, Li Ping was the secret sentinel, and Xiao Zheng was the deputy to set off quickly! Send elite wolf cavalry to inform all battalions, all members are under martial law, Jiankang is under martial law, and the clipper ships will notify all the soldiers of the defense line to strictly guard against the sneak attack of the Sea Clan!" How could Chief Liao not know what kind of damage such a powerful force would cause, not to mention that even the army was infiltrated, not to mention that the real strength of King Gejun was not clear to himself and others, and the most important thing was that he was not sure whether there was also an internal response in the imperial city, so he immediately ordered
"Yes!" The echo that resounded in the night sky rang out in unison, and the hearts of several people in the Dongcheng Tower couldn't help but tighten, and the huge war machine was running rapidly under the order of Chief Liao
"Xixue, you follow Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng, you can ride the war horse first! Your weapons and weeping blood are ready!"
"Yes!" the two replied solemnly, obviously not allowing a moment to relax until the crisis was resolved
Xiao Zheng quickly put on the battle armor, this battle armor is very convenient, only need to untie the buckles on both sides, put on the buckles, Xiao Zheng does not know how to ride a horse, but it is not a problem to have a pity for snow, the war horse under the crotch did not move because of the two of them, it is still calm and impermanent, enough to see its excellence, and this war horse is also quite tall, strong and abnormal
"Report! There is a fire in the direction of the imperial capital!"
"I'll wait for the cavalry to be the vanguard first, and then the rest of the cavalry will feel that they should set off immediately! Advance at a high speed!" Yang Lin shouted loudly, and nearly 10,000 cavalry had been assembled in just a quarter of an hour, and the remaining nearly 40,000 infantry also began to line up
"Woo~" Nearly 100 wolf horsemen took the lead, and then 10,000 iron cavalry followed, the sound of tens of thousands of cavalry trampling on the ground shook like an earthquake, Xiao Zheng sat down and the war horse seemed to have been integrated with this neat roar, rushing forward, the wide official road was unimpeded, so that the speed of progress could not help but speed up a few points
However, Xiao Zheng, who was held in his arms by a fragrant delicate body, was always inexplicably distracted, and the little brother who stepped down didn't care how much the armor on his body was, and his spirit was incomparable, and Xiao Zheng was in pain, but at this time, Xixue was calm and abnormal, and he was concentrated
Suddenly, one of the leading cavalrymen in front raised his spear high, and several spears that seemed to glow with a faint silver light were erected behind him, and the speed of the cavalry team slowly decreased, and then the soldier in front of Xiao Zheng shouted loudly: "Two hundred meters!"
"Xiao Zheng cherishes Xue Li Ping, and the brothers from the secret whistle come with me!" Yang Lin ordered loudly
"Yes!" everyone said, and then followed Yang Lin to rush to the south gate first
"I am Yang Lin, the general of the garrison of the South Battalion, I am ordered by the chief to save the driver, and the command is again!" Before he finished speaking, Yang Lin picked up the longbow hanging on the horse's belly, and shot it with an arrow, and the city gate guard was obviously not a simple and stunning color, but he grabbed the flying arrows with one hand, but after a while, the cavalry behind followed
"Open the city gate, it's the reinforcements sent by Chief Manager Liao!" The defending general immediately said: "General Yang, go straight, in the direction of the Vermilion Bird Gate!"
With a creak, the south gate opened
"Captain Yang, Captain Ren, and Captain Li are all in the capital to hunt down everyone in the capital! The rebels will be dealt with on the spot! The rest of the people will follow me to the Vermilion Bird Gate!" Yang Lin quickly ordered, and the defenders in the city also acted quickly after reading the order
"Drive!" Yang Lin urged the horse to rush forward, and the last one and the dark whistle led by Li Ping followed, and rushed towards the Suzaku Gate, even if the horse was fast and the road was wide, it still took nearly a quarter of an hour to approach the imperial city, and it was nearly half an hour from the departure from the barracks, Xiao Zheng didn't even have time to look around, but at this time, he didn't care about it
"Kill!" Yang Lin took the lead in drawing his knife, not only did he not slow down, but he improved a lot out of thin air, Xiao Zheng and the others then raised their guns to kill hundreds of black-clothed people in front, the moment of impact, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the black-clothed people in front seemed to be like paper paste, and they were knocked away in an instant, whether they were dead or alive, they were trampled into meat sauce by the horses' hooves that followed closely, and the rest of the black-clothed people instantly reflected, and rushed towards Xiao Zheng and others without fear of death
I have to admit that these men in black are indeed very strong
When there were still dozens of meters, those black-clothed people jumped up more than ten meters one by one and raised their knives with both hands and slashed down, Xiao Zheng easily pulled a spear flower and swept away the three black-clothed people, but the others were not so lucky, but there were seven or eight soldiers with war horses and were halved by a batch, which shows the strength of these black-clothed people, but this kind of attack is just such a round
"Array!" Suddenly all the cavalry compacted, raised their cavalry guns and soared into the sky, nearly five meters of cavalry spears towered high, densely packed, only a dozen screams were heard, those black-clothed men had become a hedgehog before they dropped their knives, and there were secret sentinels guarding the left and right on both sides
The group of black-clothed people seemed to be really not afraid of death, and they actually gathered together to form a knife formation, surrounded the gunmen in the middle, and stabbed their spears outside the knife formation, this formation was obviously about to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, such a big hedgehog, even if the road in this city was wide and could accommodate twenty knights side by side, it was not suitable for charging, and suddenly Yang Lin and the others had ugly faces, and were about to give an order, but Xiao Zheng stopped
"General, let me come!" Without Yang Lin speaking, he instantly broke free from Xixue's embrace, jumped down, and rushed to the man in black in front of him
At this point, everyone was silent, quietly waiting for Xiao Zheng to rush into battle, Yang Lin looked at Xixue a little strangely, and Xixue had to smile bitterly
Xiao Zheng is naturally not impulsive, in this case, no matter who it is, it is a trouble, but not for Xiao Zheng, on the contrary, the group battle will restrain Xiao Zheng's skills, because of crying blood, Xiao Zheng can release the gun nearly a meter, the most important thing is that Xiao Zheng likes this feeling, when slaughtering the fishman vanguard, Xiao Zheng felt that kind of pleasure, at the beginning I thought I was thirsty for killing, but then I slowly pondered and found that what I liked was just the feeling of being a husband and a man
There are still ten meters away from the hedgehog array
"Kill!" Xiao Zheng shouted loudly, and then made the weeping blood violently vibrate, a surging sea of anger swept towards the spear stabbed, where the weeping blood swept, none of them let go of the gun, a gun flower pulled, turned around, was already swept to the black-clothed man with a knife closely, those black-clothed people were shocked, and before they could use their internal force, they were swept away by the weapon in Xiao Zheng's hand, but a sweep and a sweep, it was already a black-clothed man with bare hands in front of him, and in just a few seconds, in the eyes of Yang Lin and others, those black-clothed people lost their weapons
Xiao Zheng didn't think much about it, followed by the wind that slaughtered the fish-man vanguard, and the internal force in his body was running rapidly to the extreme, and he rushed forward, and before he knew it, the weeping blood spear appeared, and the faint light was so dazzling in the dark
The shadow of the gun appeared around Xiao Zheng's body again, the difference was that the eyes of the black-clothed man outside the shadow of the gun were full of horror, and the light continued to become dense, and Xiao Zheng's body was already swept out of the ground within five meters, and Xiao Zheng was still advancing
"Kill him!" The man in black had already reacted and pounced fiercely at Xiao Zheng, and the strengthened man in black exuded different internal forces one by one, killing Xiao Zheng
"Kill!" Yang Lin grasped the timing very accurately, and just when the formation of the man in black was disrupted, the iron horse rolled in
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Zheng was stunned to kill a way to break the corpse, and the cavalry also quickly harvested, and the battle ended quickly
"You're so amazing!" Xixue dragged Xiao Zheng in front of him and admired, and the rest of the soldiers were also full of admiration, but Yang Lin and Li Ping nodded with satisfaction, but unfortunately the time was not right, Yang Lin shouted: "Quick! Vermilion Bird Gate is ahead! For Your Majesty! Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" morale was ignited in an instant, and Xiao Zheng's massacre played an unexpected role!
