Chapter 17: The Life of King Gejun
The high-spirited cavalry howled and rushed bravely towards the north, but this was only the beginning
"Boom!boom!boom!" Dozens of bursts of air struck, except for Yang Linxiao, who was under the protection of the guards, and was not harmed, even the dark sentry that had gone through a hundred battles was killed by a strong crossbow with thick arms, not to mention those cavalrymen with congested brains, and in just this round, hundreds of casualties were caused
"Dark Outpost Department! Clear both sides!" Li Ping, the leader of the dark sentry, roared angrily, all the dark sentry rushed to the houses on both sides at the fastest speed, they all knew that this was a crossbow that could shoot continuously! The dark sentry on both sides operated the internal force to the extreme, and rushed to both sides with angry shouts
"Boom!boom!" The second round has been launched, but the target is that the cavalry who are not afraid of life and death, and are still charging, dozens of cavalry have been shot to death, and the spears and crossbows that have been shot into the ground have become obstacles, effectively hindering the cavalry's charge, but at this time, the dark sentry has been fought by the men in black on both sides
At this time, Yang Lin and Xiao Zheng and nearly 100 guards had opened a distance of nearly 100 meters from the cavalry in the rear, but they also reached the moat outside the city wall of Suzaku Gate, and all the guards pulled out their waist knives and looked at the thirty red-clothed people in front of them vigilantly
The city tower was very quiet, and there were nearly a thousand black-clothed people standing densely, staring at Yang Lin and others who were confronting the red artist outside the moat, fortunately, there were no heavy city defense weapons such as crossbows in the imperial city, and bursts of shouts and killings broke out in the distance, obviously the war in the city was in full swing
"Kill!" Yang Lin's personal guards urged the horses to rush to the red-clothed people in front, and those red-clothed people also smiled sadly, their right hands shook together, and thirty scimitars cut to the front-placed guards, but how could Yang Lin's personal guards be hit by this kind of throwing, more than a dozen personal guards in front of them loomed, and slashed at the flying scimitars, but unfortunately what these guards didn't expect was that those scimitars were just knocked back and returned to the hands of those red-clothed people, it turned out that there was an iron chain connected to the scimitar handle, and the scimitar bounced back quickly, and those red-clothed people swept the scimitar to the horse's legs in unison, and then only a dozen meters away from those red-clothed people, the dozen or so guards in front fell down the horseAfter landing, there were only three or four people alive, and then the guards jumped high from the horse, and the internal force split to those people in red, the thirty people in red were actually a scimitar in their hands, and soon killed the few guards who landed, fortunately, the scimitar was not thrown out this time, but fought hand-to-hand with the dozen or so guards, and the guards paid nearly half of their lives to kill those people in red one by one, and the people in black in the city were not moved at all, quietly looking at Xiao Zheng and others under the city and the cavalry who were about to arrive, and Xiao Zheng and others could only watch under the city, without siege equipment, they could only wait for support, but at this time, the shouting and killing in the city was getting closer and closer
"The forbidden army in the city is fighting back, it seems that this group of black-clothed people is the last!" Yang Lin stared at the dense black-clothed people in the city and said
"What should we do, are we watching here?" Xiao Zheng asked with a pale face, almost half of Xiao Zheng's internal strength was consumed just now
"Report!" a cavalryman behind shouted loudly: "General Qiqi!
"Give it to me!" The cavalry hurried to Yang Lin's side and handed it to Yang Lin, and the cavalry of the brigade also rushed over, and the first to arrive was naturally the secret sentry
"Commander Li, Your Majesty ordered us to surround the Vermilion Bird Gate?" Yang Lin confirmed
"Yes! The forbidden army has compressed the black-clothed man in the Suzaku Gate and the city walls on both sides, what we have to do now is to block this section of the city wall and not let anyone go out!" Li Ping, who was covered in blood, said lightly, after the battle, it seemed that there was no consumption
"The south wall is all blocked, no one is allowed to be spared!" After Yang Lin confirmed, he immediately ordered, and soon the cavalry took action, and did not have the slightest sadness because of the previous casualties, the only shortcoming is that there are too few people, almost every twenty meters there can be a cavalryman, even if the secret post and the remaining guards are sent out, it is still a drop in the bucket
"When will the reinforcements arrive!" Yang Lin looked at Xiao Zheng, who was moving, smiled with satisfaction, and asked the last guard beside him
"The three lieutenants are leading their troops to fight with a large number of black-clothed men, and the cavalry of the northern, eastern, and western battalions who came first are also entangled in a large number of black-clothed men, and the defenders have completely blocked the whole city, and all exits such as rivers have been sealed with nine iron fences, and the infantry will be half an hour later at the earliest!"
"Alas!" Yang Lin couldn't help but sigh heavily
"Ahem!" Xiao Zheng suddenly coughed twice
"Are you okay!" Xixue said with concern, gently holding Xiao Zheng's chest on horseback, although Xiao Zheng is thin, but this armor is not small at all, at this time Xixue is like this, holding Xiao Zheng tightly, trying to stretch out his hand to Xiao Zheng's chest, Xixue in the night, his face showed a faint crimson
"It's okay, it's okay to go down and take a walk!" Xiao Zheng waved his hand disappreciatively, he was really fine, but he had poured more cold air all the way, and he had consumed more internal force, so he just coughed twice
Xiao Zheng jumped off the horse with a slight jump, looked at Xi Xue, and found that Xi Xue's face seemed to be a little tired, since Xiao Zheng could see things at night, he slowly got used to it, and couldn't help but care: "You are also tired!
"Ahh
Xiao Zheng looked at Xixue strangely, but he didn't care, so he stuck the weeping blood on the ground, and moved his body at will, just in time to hear Yang Lin's thick worry
He glanced at the man in black in the city and said, "General, can't we borrow some domestic servants from the people around us?"
"This is a solution, these domestic servants are all retired soldiers!" Yang Lin nodded and said: "Come on, you bring a few people, knock on the door of each family, borrow some people to come, remember to let them bring weapons, and write down all those who don't borrow for me!"
"Yes!" Yang Lin's last personal guard was also sent out, and the personal guard found a few people nearby to borrow someone, at this time Yang Lin sighed lightly and said: "I hope to borrow enough people before the anti-thieves break through!"
"General, why hasn't this group of black-clothed people broken through yet, is there any hope?" Xiao Zheng asked suspiciously, just now Xiao Zheng also heard what Li Ping said, the forbidden army has already controlled the imperial city, and has also controlled these black-clothed people in this Suzaku Gate and its sides, but these black-clothed people are still not dead? Are you sick?
"It's strange to say, the shouting and killing sound is getting smaller and smaller, but the black-clothed people in this city don't move!" Listening to Xiao Zheng's words, Yang Lin also said a little strangely
"General, is it possible that someone has been kidnapped?" Xiao Zheng asked with a puzzled look on his cheek, frowning
Yang Lin listened to Xiao Zheng's words, groaned for a while, and said with emotion: "It's possible, and it's a county king who rebelled this time!"
"Yes!" Xiao Zheng was stunned, and then he wondered: "What kind of person is this King of Gejun, who can develop such a big force!" After speaking, he also looked at the black-clothed people in the city, these black-clothed people walked around, there seemed to be no trace of panic, enough to see their mortal meaning, this Suzaku Gate must be the place where the King of Nage County broke through, the black-clothed people in other places are all small groups, only here are specially arranged a lot, Xiao Zheng secretly thought, always feel that it seems that something is missing
"Speaking of this King of Gejun, it was a foolish thing done by His Majesty, and many old brothers knew about this back then!" Yang Lin said lightly, thought about it, and said with a wry smile: " His Majesty was still the crown prince, I was still a school captain, after returning from an expedition, His Majesty feasted all the generals above the school captain, but after drinking, he was drunk and seized the chastity of a palace maid, and the next day after thinking of this matter, His Majesty was very remorseful, and wanted to set up the palace maid as a side concubine, but the palace maid was promised to be sent out of the palace by the original princess, and she was also going to get married, so His Majesty deliberately found the family who was engaged, explained the matter, and also completed this matter!"
"Who is that woman?"
"That woman is the grandmother of King Gejun!" Yang Lin said helplessly: " Who would have thought that eight months later, the side concubine actually gave birth to a daughter, which was boiling at the time, and everyone knew that she was pregnant in October, but she was born in eight months, and it was inevitable that there would be some rumors, so the reputation of King Gejun's mother was very bad, but in fact, the side concubine was indeed His Majesty's own daughter, and the reason why she was born prematurely was because of His Majesty's own reasons, His Majesty was very guilty, and when he grew up, he married the princess to the second son of Prime Minister Li Lin, and the two lived very happily and sweetly at that time, but eight months after marriage, the princess gave birth to the child!”
"Uh... Such a coincidence?" Xiao Zheng looked at Yang Lindao in disbelief
"That's true, this is really the horse's fault, the horse knows that he is sorry for the princess, and told the prime minister Li Lin about it, and the prime minister later met His Majesty in person, but for some reason the news can't be stopped, and the horse doesn't know why, and he died after being angry again, and after learning about it, the princess also hanged herself in a rage, and finally left the current King of Gejun, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister did not want to mention this matter, in order to compensate, he gave Li Yu as the king of Han Fengjun, and the mouth of the people of the world is the current King of Gejun Hanling!"
"So that's the case!" At this time, Xiao Zheng was quite sympathetic to the king of Nage County, his parents were forced to die by the message, and he was not happy with himself
"It's a pity that this matter is not over yet, I don't know why the matter of King Gejun's mother has also been revealed, so King Gejun has always lived in a simple and lonely place, although the royal family knows the reason, but they rarely pay attention to it!" Yang Lin seemed to be a little angry, and said with a gloomy face
"General, a total of two thousand five hundred and thirty-two have been borrowed!" the guard handed over a piece of paper and said, "This is a list of those who have not been borrowed!"
"You will assign them later!" Yang Lin took the list, looked at it carefully, suddenly frowned, and said, "The prime minister is unwilling to borrow troops?"
"Yes, and the butler's attitude is very bad!" said the guard, as if thinking of something
"General, can you let me take a look!" Xiao Zheng frowned and said to Yang Lin
"Where do these people live?" Xiao Zheng looked at for a while and asked
"Deputy General Qiqi, most of these families are located in..."The guards reported the names of the places one by one
"Are you familiar with this place?" asked Xiao Zheng again
"Don't worry, my guards are all brought out from my family, although I am near the Xuanwu Gate, but the distribution around the imperial city is about the same!" Yang Lin said, but it was a little strange for Xiao Zheng to ask these questions, seeing the faint smile on the corner of Xiao Zheng's mouth, Yang Lin suddenly thought of something, and asked the guard seriously: "How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive!"
"It's ugly time, and according to the fastest speed of the infantry army, it will take a quarter of an hour at the earliest!" the guard replied, estimating
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
"Okay!" Yang Lin was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "How many people are here!"
"It's coming... Most... At least 20,000, the manager will be ... That's it!" The sentry was obviously in a hurry, and he was out of breath
"I'll go to see the chief manager in person! From now on, it's under the management of Vice General Xiao for the time being!" Yang Lin pulled out his horse and was about to rush away, and when he left, he admonished: "Xiao Zheng, I'll go and report the situation in person, if there's anything, you must resist it! I'll come over soon!"
"Yes!" Xiao Zheng replied, and then Yang Lin hurried there without even bringing his personal guards
"What did you say to General Yang just now?" Xixue looked at Xiao Zhengdao with a strange color
"It's nothing! you're resting, I'll sue you if there's a situation!" Xiao Zheng smiled mysteriously and looked at Suzaku Gate, and his face suddenly changed dramatically!
"Order! Prepare for war!" At this time, Xiao Zheng gave an order for the first time, and it was also Xiao Zheng's first battle, but Xiao Zheng was not panicked, on the contrary, he was very calm, Xi Xue obviously also saw the situation on the city tower, but his eyes were staring at Xiao Zheng tightly, Xi Xue's heart was constantly beating, and it was already jumping to his mind, deeply engraved
