Chapter 609: A Righteous Judgment?
"Northern Qi Eagle?"
Tang Lan held the long sword in his hand, and laughed tremblingly: "Ten years ago, I came to Bailing City once, at that time, the power of the Book of Heaven had not yet awakened, you were just a little guy who served tea and poured water, and now you have become the minister of righteousness and the country, hahaha...... Life is changing, what a second, Northern Qi Ying, do you want this old man's head to be presented to Qin Yi as a gift?"
"Why not?"
The folds on Beiqi Ying's face were about to burst into laughter: "Tang Lan, you are immersed in power and wealth, you never thought that you would end up in such a fate, right? ”
Tang Lan was stunned, seemed to be moved, and was about to speak, when suddenly Tang Bi on the side suddenly pulled the arrow box hidden behind the leaves of a pomegranate tree to pull the string, and suddenly the steel arrows that "brushed" went straight to the Northern Qi Eagle!
"Father, be careful!"
Northern Qi Xun roared, the long sword in his hand was suddenly picked up, the power of heaven and earth surged instantly, countless frosts turned into ice shields, and more than a dozen steel arrows were blocked in front of the Northern Qi Eagle "Dangdang", but many of the private troops in the surrounding Northern Qi Mansion were shot and killed, their intestines were rotten, and they died extremely miserably, Beiqi Xun glanced at it, and couldn't help but say with a blue face: "This group of old horsemen who don't know what to do, father, don't have to be polite to them, kill them, Tang Lan can't run!"
"Hmm. ”
Northern Qi Ying looked coldly in the direction of the palace and said, "The shield array is advancing, be careful of their arrow box." ”
"Yes!"
In fact, Tang Lan only has two arrow boxes, he came in a hurry, and he has no time to bring more arrow boxes over, Tang Bi has made up his mind to kill, and he is unwilling to steal his life, which makes Tang Lan helpless and heartbroken, this group of veterans are all battle-hardened generals of the Tang Sect of the Seven Seas, but now they are all going to die here meaninglessly, reduced to a gift from the Northern Qi Mansion to Qin Yi, what an irony.
"Archer, release the arrow!"
Tang Bi roared loudly, guarding the door with a steel knife in his hand, looking at the private army of the Northern Qi Mansion outside without giving an inch, and yelled: "Flame Heavenly Book, let me go!"
The three local books broke out in an instant, and the flames devoured the dozens of private troops who were attacking outside the mansion, but the opponent's counterattack was even more violent, the Northern Qi Mansion was the most powerful Tianshu family in the Boxer Kingdom, and their Tianshu would naturally not be less, a group of generals rushed over, and the embryo was raised, and suddenly the storm, flames, and frost swept up the walls of the palace, strangling the archers there one by one, and the screams were connected.
The Zhennan Wangfu was very well repaired, the fortifications were very sufficient, and there were even four tall arrow towers in the mansion, at this time, hundreds of archers entered the arrow tower, and the condescending shooting caused a lot of pressure to the people of the Northern Qi Mansion outside the city, and Tang Bi ordered people to find the oil from the kitchen in the mansion, poured it outside, ordered the fire, and also delayed the offensive of some opponents.
But the delay of the people of the Northern Qi Mansion does not mean that the Tang Lan army can win, Tang Lan and Tang Bi both know that the troops of the Northern Qi Mansion are not less than their own, and there are the wealthy families and nobles in the whole city who are helping them, and the Tang Lan army is actually just fighting alone, there is no possibility of victory, and the current resistance is only delaying.
Tang Lan's cloudy eyes were confused, he sat under the eaves and looked at the arrows that kept falling into the courtyard in the distance, and said, "Tang Bi, I'll go sleep for a while, and after the people from the Northern Qi Mansion come in, call me." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
When Tang Bi turned to look, he was startled by Tang Lan's expression, and the despair and confusion on his face appeared on Tang Lan's face for the first time.
......
Five hundred miles away, smoke and dust billowed on the path outside the jungle, and the travelers and caravans on the road avoided one after another, and a group of 5,000 light cavalry of the Zhenguo Army galloped past, bringing up smoke and dust to the sky.
Tang Xiaoxi wore a dark purple county lord cloak, held the reins of Sydney's war horse, and rushed to the front of the queue, her beautiful face was full of fatigue and anxiety, and she was about to be exhausted after two days and two nights in a row.
On the side, Tang Zhen looked at Tang Xiaoxi's appearance and couldn't help but say, "County Lord, we ...... We have been on the road for too long, and many soldiers can no longer stand it, so it is better to ...... Why don't we rest for the night and set off early tomorrow morning, so that we can maintain some body and combat strength when we arrive in Bailing City. ”
"Nope. ”
Tang Xiaoxi's eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking of Tang Lan's situation in Bailing City, he couldn't help but feel like a knife, and said leisurely: "Grandpa shouldn't end up like this, I'...... I can't watch him die, I must reach Bailing City as quickly as possible, march overnight, and I must reach Bailing City before sunrise tomorrow, and I must reach Bailing City before sunrise tomorrow, and I can reach as many people as I can. ”
"Yes!"
......
At night, the fire outside the palace in Zhennan was flourishing, and the attack of the Boxer army was even more fierce, and even many county troops had already rushed over, using siege chariots to smash the walls of the palace, and the sound of killing rose to the sky.
"Poof!"
A steel arrow shot into Tang Lan's arm, the pain was scorching, the arrow seemed to be quenched, Tang Lan couldn't care so much, pulled out the bloody arrow and threw it aside, and said, "Tang Bi, how many people are they here?"
"My subordinates don't know, there are many, many ......"
"......"
Tang Lan was a little weak and asked, "How many war horses do we have?"
"At least two thousand, that's sufficient. ”
"Order everyone to put armor on the war horses, we rush out, we can't continue to sit still here, the elite soldiers of Bailing City are gone, these rabble may not be able to stop us. ”
"Yes!"
Tang Bi stepped forward and helped Tang Lan to ride on the war horse, but the blood on Tang Lan's arm flowed down his fingers, and Tang Bi couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, are you okay, I'll bandage you and then leave." ”
"No, it's too late. Tang Lan said: "The periphery of the East Garden of the Mansion is weakly guarded, so let's kill it from there." ”
"Yes!"
The sound of horses' hooves intensified, and nearly 1,500 Tangmen iron horsemen slaughtered from the east gate gate, rampage, but there were still at least thousands of troops of the name and country outside the East Garden, and thousands of arrows were fired together, and the iron horses in the front row were shot one after another, and the muffled sound was repeated, and the people and the war horses fell together, which was extremely tragic.
Tang Lan lay on the war horse and followed the army, while Tang Bi carried a heavy shield in front of Tang Lan, and shouted: "Rush forward, don't hesitate, protect Your Highness!"
There were more and more people killed in the battle, and there were more and more Boxer troops on both sides of the road, and many people were shouting: "Catch Tang Lan, capture the king alive, and the reward for the head of Tang Lan will be 10 million, and the marquis will be knighted!"
"Puff ......"
The arrows were sharp, and in the blink of an eye, two arrows shot into Tang Bi's belly armor that was not protected by the shield, he snorted and didn't speak, the steel knife cut off the arrows horizontally, and the arrows remained in his body, continuing to protect Tang Lan and rush forward to kill.
Zhennan Wangfu is about ten miles away from the north gate, but these ten miles are like a road to death.
I fought until near dawn, and finally saw the north gate in the distance.
Tang Bi's face turned pale and said, "Your Highness...... Your Highness, we're about to break out of the encirclement!"
"Hmmm......"
Tang Lan's face was like ashes, and his arm lost blood, and he said: "The city gate must be heavily guarded, send an elite army to kill it, and then go to the city gate, and then talk about it, and ...... See if there are any Imperial reinforcements in the distance. ”
"There will be no reinforcements. Tang Bi muttered, "The empire has given up on our group of old guys......"
Tang Lan trembled slightly, and at this time, a young and brave Tang family general led dozens of people to gallop away, and the blade of the sword flew up, cutting the Boxer soldiers who blocked the road into pieces one by one.
When he boarded the city gate, he was covered in blood, and his chest was full of arrows, and at this time, the morning light appeared, and a sunshine fell on his face, as if shining on the dream of a new life, under the morning light, he saw a column of cavalry in the distance, the Ziyinhua battle flag, the Seven Heart Begonia battle flag flying in the air, he couldn't help but tremble, turned to look at Tang Lan under the city, and said: "Your Highness, reinforcements are coming......
"Reinforcements ......"
Tang Lan was excited and said, "Who is it?"
"It's the banner of the Zhenguo Army...... It's the Lord of the Tide who is here, Your Highness, the Lord of the Tide is here to save us......"
"Great, open the gates!"
"Yes!"
But at this moment, suddenly a figure fell in the air, raised his hand and flew away, and the head of this young general of the Tang family was chopped away, and blood splashed his face, it was none other than Luo Lan's disciple, the powerhouse of the Holy Domain-Han Jun!
Han Jun licked the bloody palm to his mouth, and said with a smile: "Come on, seal the city gate, kill me, and leave no one behind!"
The Seven Realms Palace has sent troops!
Dozens of Heavenly Realm and Sacred Realm powerhouses slaughtered into the crowd, killing nearly a hundred Tang family soldiers in front of them in a blink of an eye, Han Jun's face was full of fierceness, and he roared angrily: "Kill me, kill them all, and leave Tang Lan's head to me!"
"Yes!"
......
Tang Lan's face was pale, looking at the north of the high city wall from afar, he couldn't help but feel a heartache, clutching his chest and saying with old tears: "Xiaoxi, my good Xiaoxi, grandpa will never be able to see you alive again......"
Tang Bi hurriedly grabbed the reins of Tang Lan's war horse and shouted: "Come on, protect Your Highness and rush back to kill!"
There was no one left in Tang Lanjun's army, and dozens of people died under the sharp arrows one after another.
In the end, only Tang Bi and Tang Lan, two veterans, rode their horses and galloped through the streets full of chasing soldiers and civilians of the Boxer Kingdom, and became a mess.
"Tweet ......"
A war horse screamed, Tang Bi's war horse lost its front hooves and fell to the ground, and then the war horse with Tang Lan also fell to the ground, Tang Bi hurriedly helped up Tang Lan, who was covered in blood, and was so anxious that tears fell: "Lan Gong...... Lan Gong ...... Subordinates are incompetent, subordinates are incompetent......"
Tang Lan shook his head slowly: "Old man, we all tried our best......"
......
All around, a group of Boxer civilians surrounded them, some with blacksmith's hammers, some with hoes, and some with tailor's scissors, all with distorted and resentful faces, one of them said: "That old guy is Tang Lan, that is, he wants to overthrow the Boxer and let us be the lackeys of the empire again!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
They got closer and closer, Tang Lan and Tang Bi sat on the ground back to back, and couldn't help laughing, tears rolling down.
