Chapter 344: The Wind Rises and the Clouds Fly (Part II)
Miyagi, Donghua Gate.
Dong Shenghu was lying on the hard bed in the small room on the gatehouse, sleeping soundly, when suddenly a personal soldier rushed in, "General! Checkmate! ”
"What a fuss! Is the sky falling? ”
Dong Shenghu sat up, squinted his eyes, and said angrily: "What's wrong?" ”
"General, go and have a look!"
Dong Shenghu's heart sank, he got up and walked out of the small room, came to the city wall, looked down, and his eyes were as wide as a cow.
I saw Shang Zhicheng one person and one horse below, slowly coming.
"Commander?"
Shang Zhicheng rode his horse to the city gate, looked up at him, his face was calm and solemn, "Do you remember what I told you last night?" ”
Dong Shenghu hurriedly clenched his fists, "Please make it clear to the commander!" ”
Shang Zhicheng said: "We are human beings, we must be worthy of the community, worthy of conscience, as long as we do this, the current situation is not smooth, there will always be a day when the peak and loop turn." ”
Dong Shenghu looked at Shang Zhicheng below blankly, wondering if he hadn't woken up from last night's wine, why couldn't he understand the intention of the Lord Commander to say these words!
Shang Zhicheng smiled faintly, and lightly threw out a sentence that exploded everyone, "The first emperor has been kind to us, and now that the crown prince has killed the king and seized the throne, I want to set things right and avenge the first emperor, are you willing to support me?" ”
Dong Shenghu understood this sentence, but he was even more confused, and still felt that his wine had not woken up.
You're alone?
What's the trouble?
But the next moment, as if in response to his doubts, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded.
From far to near, it soon approached the outside of the Donghua Gate.
It was hundreds of elite armor soldiers in armor with guns and knives, and in a slightly modified carriage stood a young man and a small child.
Is that
Xia Jingyun and the king of Jiaodong?!
Dong Shenghu woke up when he went to the wine.
Wake up.
And the well-trained soldiers of the Forbidden Army beside him raised their bows almost subconsciously.
But no one shot an arrow.
Because, that is the county king of the court, that is the world's heroes!
What's more, before them, there was a commander who once led them to guard Miyagi!
Shang Zhicheng drank in a deep voice, "Dong Shenghu! Repay the kindness of the king, protect the people, and make immortal achievements, at this time! What are you waiting for! ”
Dong Shenghu only felt that there was a tangle and embarrassment in his heart that he had never felt before.
On the one hand, it is the eldest brother of the leader who he has always admired and followed, and on the other hand, it is the duty of the guard Miyagi and the sense of mission that naturally arises from his heart, and in the middle, there are the two important words of rebellion.
Xia Jingyun said loudly: "General Dong, the crown prince killed the king and seized the throne, he is not worthy of being a king, and people with lofty ideals in the world should discuss it together!" Opening the door today is not a rebellion, it is a patriotic trip of loyalty! ”
Shang Zhicheng drank again, "Tiger head, open the door!" ”
Dong Shenghu looked at Shang Zhicheng's familiar face, looked at the solemn faces of Xia Jingyun and Dongfang Bai, glanced at the armor soldiers who were still rushing in, and turned his head to look at the bows and arrows that the soldiers around him couldn't help but put down.
"Open the door!"
With this sound, both sides in the field couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Watching the two palace doors slowly open, outside the palace gate, Shang Zhicheng raised his sword and shouted, "Enter the palace!" ”
Yue Pingwu held a gun and jumped on a horse, "Capture the thief!" ”
The two of them took the lead and rushed straight in with their soldiers and horses.
As soon as the figure did not reach the shadow of the entrance hole, he heard Dong Shenghu's loud shout from the city, "Be careful!" ”
In the palace city, Ling Hujian led a team of hundreds of cronies to escort him, and at this critical moment, he swooped over from the direction of the main palace gate.
The archers stood still, drew their bows like a full moon, and then a rain of arrows fell towards the Donghua Gate, and the "rebels" who had just emerged fell on their heads.
The sergeants who were caught off guard were knocked over by this sudden sharp arrow, and Shang Zhicheng and Yue Pingwu, who were rushing to the front, were also almost shot.
Without waiting for the rain of arrows to pass, Ling Fox Sword had already rushed towards them with people, directly interrupting their momentum of rushing forward.
The size of the door hole was limited, and the follow-up reinforcements could not support the battle, and the forbidden army in front of them was very brave, and as the sergeants fell one by one, the rebel front was forced back uncontrollably.
Seeing that it is about to retreat to the doorway, once it is forced into the doorway, the battle surface will be narrower, and it will be easier for the other party to defend it.
The overall situation that all parties have worked hard to win may fall at this most critical moment!
Shang Zhicheng gritted his teeth and looked at Yue Pingwu beside him, "General Yue, the team is handed over to you to command!" ”
On the battlefield, there is no room for hair, Yue Pingwu didn't say much, and responded directly, "Okay!" ”
Shang Zhicheng glanced at Linghu Jian, who was commanding the forbidden army's counterattack, and shouted angrily, "Dong Shenghu, you're fucking open, do you still want to watch a play at this time?" ”
With this shout, he took a few sergeants and rushed straight to the location of Linghu Sword.
Capture the thief, capture the king first!
Outside the palace gate, Dongfang Bai's face turned pale with nervousness, and he squeezed Xia Jingyun's hand unconsciously hard, "Uncle, can we win?" ”
Xia Jingyun also looked at the front with a solemn expression, seeing that the supporters on his side were blocked out of the door, and he could only do it in a hurry, pursing his lips, as if he was comforting Dongfang Bai, and as if he was comforting himself, "If you can win, you will definitely win!" ”
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the ranks, and I don't know who shouted, "What is that?" ”
Xia Jingyun immediately looked over, and saw a team of black-covered iron horsemen with a terrifying sense of oppression, slowly assembling at the end of the long street two or three hundred zhang away.
Black is cold, it is slaughtering, it is the darkness that swallows everything.
Black Ice Terrace, Black Ride!
This well-built elite that Emperor Chongning once relied on the most, this cavalry that betrayed Emperor Chongning at the most critical moment, at this time, came to defend Dongfang Ming and put down the rebellion!
Xuanhu sat on the horse, watching the fierce battle outside the Donghua Gate, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel smile.
As the head of the Black Ice Terrace, who was in charge of intelligence in Beijing, he received the news as soon as these people gathered.
Zhonghu Army, Qin Family, Nancheng Lu Slender Tiger
But he didn't choose to send troops to kill him immediately, one is because the black cavalry is His Majesty's own army, although he has the right to use it on the spot, but if there is no major event in the city, he will inevitably attract suspicion if he takes the lead.
The second is that he will have to wait until the gang is all assembled, so that he can catch them all.
To make meritorious service, it is necessary to stand at this critical juncture.
If prevention is better than prevention, who knows what you can do?
Everyone understands the truth that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, but in fact, those who turn the tide will always take the greatest benefits.
He looked at the figures of Xia Jingyun and Dongfang Bai from afar, his eyes flashed with blazing light, this time, two big fish!
None of you can run!
He raised his right hand and slammed it forward.
The black rider behind him began to slowly urge the war horse.
Outside the Donghua Gate, looking at the terrifying team in front of him, even if it was a dead soldier, under such a momentum and the prestige that had been in the hearts of the people for a long time, he was also flustered.
There was a forbidden army blocking the road in front, and a black horse approaching behind, and the 2,000 people crowded outside the Donghua Gate were like turtles in an urn.
Feelings of fear and despair spread through the ranks.
Xia Jingyun knew that he must not let such emotions grow at this moment, although the people present were all trustworthy so-called dead soldiers who put life and death aside, but there were one or two cowardly ones, once they escaped, it might cause an avalanche of the situation.
So he shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, I have already deployed for the black horse, and now I will go all out to break through the palace gate, rush into the palace, and catch the traitor, which is the right way!" ”
The clear voice almost roared into everyone's ears.
Those present, whether they were from the Yamen of the Central Protector Army or the Qin family, had heard of Xia Jingyun, and the miraculous deeds of the past silently endorsed his words at the moment.
Yes, the Black Ice Platform Black Rider is such a big force, how could Xia Gongzi not take it into account!
Xia Gongzi is right, as long as he rushes into the palace and takes down the puppet emperor, what can he do with the black ice platform?
As a result, the momentum of the people, who were originally a little depressed, was shocked when they landed, and the pressure on the forbidden army resisted by the palace gate doubled.
On the other side of the city wall, Ling Fox Sword struggled to cope with Shang Zhicheng's pressure like a cone of bones, and shouted: "Hold on!" The patrol battalion and the black cavalry are coming soon! If we block it, it will be a great achievement, and everyone can be added to the rank and knight, and the wife and son can be crowned! ”
"Dare to be distracted!" Shang Zhicheng's face turned cold, and he stepped forward, and a sword cut through Linghu Jian's arm armor.
But after all, the words were heard, and these forbidden troops also seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and they also gained momentum, and the two sides surrounded Donghua Gate, continued to bite and fight.
There was a chaotic battle inside the door, and on the street outside the door, the black horsemen who had completed the formation had begun to slowly increase their speed.
The cavalry charged, with an indomitable momentum, not to mention the black horseman.
In the eyes of everyone, it was like a black whirlwind, in the shaking and collision of iron armor, in the sharp light of the long lance, with the power of ten thousand troops, unstoppable, crushing everything, and rushing towards Donghua Gate.
Two hundred zhang, one hundred zhang, seventy zhang, fifty zhang
The distance of a hundred zhang passed in a blink of an eye, and Xia Jingyun could already see the faces of the people at the front of the cavalry.
It was a cold, cruel, murderous, even eerie face with a little bit of excitement.
So, Xia Jingyun also weirdly hooked the corners of his mouth.
As if in the dark, a god secretly made a move, and just when the first row of black horsemen was about to rush out of the street and come to the empty palace square, several tripwire ropes suddenly straightened and stretched in mid-air.
The war horse, which had no time to dodge, suddenly crashed into the tripwire, and under the huge impact, the pillars of the houses on both sides were pulled and broken, and the houses collapsed.
The first row of black riders suddenly fell!
The horses let out a terrible scream, and the riders on horseback fell to the ground, snorting in pain as they rolled over each other.
But their nightmare has only just begun!
The speed of the horses of the whole team had been completely raised, and the cavalry behind them could not dodge at all, and continued to collide again.
The iron armor used to be their strong strength, but now it has become their talisman.
The enormous inertia brought by the heavy weight made them like out-of-control blind men, ignoring the stacked horses and people in front of them, and slammed into them with a strong impact.
In the midst of shouts and shouts, the black horsemen in the back row finally stopped, and the wide street was already full of horses and knights.
Xuanhu's face at the moment was like the clothes on his body, pure and terrifyingly black.
Xia Jingyun was able to think of arranging tripwires on the street in advance?
"Clean up the streets! Immediately! ”
He coldly issued his own command, and dozens of Black Ice Platform spies immediately rushed out, helping to carry the dead or wounded horses and men who had lost their combat power.
"Yay!"
Bursts of cheers rang out from among the "rebels" outside the Donghua Gate, with elated excitement.
Xia Jingyun's heart didn't have much joy, such a move could only be used once.
Next, they had no means to resist the Black Rider.
No matter how much you calculate, in the end, you still have to fight with real knives and guns.
He glanced at Donghua Gate, which was fighting like a grinding disc of flesh and blood, and secretly prayed in his heart that his back hand would be able to play a role as soon as possible.
Moments ago, in the middle of Miyagi.
As Dong Liangyi's son, Du Yu, who is now in the palace one step at a time, is half-lying on the soft collapse, glanced coldly, and said in a sharp voice: "Yo, some people are really bold?" It seems that our prestige is still not enough! ”
An old eunuch plucked up the courage to step forward and said with a sneer: "Father-in-law, Wang De may have some kind of illness, he didn't have time to say hello to you, your old man has a lot, spare him this time." ”
Du Yu stood up and kicked the old eunuch in the stomach violently, knocking him to the ground, "Old dog! Our family is young! What an old man! ”
The old eunuch didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, fanning his mouth again and again, "The old slave lost his words, the old slave lost his words, and the father-in-law forgave the sin!" ”
Du Yu snorted, "Since you dare not come, then don't blame our family for not giving him face!" Let's go, go teach him a long lesson! ”
A few dog-legged people immediately shouted, and walked out with Du Yu in their arms.
Soon, he came to Wang De's residence, which was the lowest courtyard in the palace, where dozens of out-of-power chamberlains lived, and there was a bit of urine in the air.
Du Yu raised his chin, and a few dogs kicked open the door and rushed in, "Wang De!" Old thing, get out! ”
A chamberlain in his forties walked out of a room, "Dugong Du, Wang De is unwell and is recuperating in bed."
Du Yu snorted coldly, and rushed directly into the room with a few dog legs.
Then, he froze.
In the room, there were more than a dozen chamberlains, and the leader was Wang Dehe
"Jin Zhong!" Du Yu screamed, "You want it!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Jin Zhong rushed over directly, kicked Du Yu in the stomach, and then accurately stuffed a rag into his mouth.
The rest of the people swarmed up and grabbed all the doglegs.
Jin Zhong pulled out a dagger from his boot and handed it to Wang De.
Wang De's eyes flashed with hatred, watching Du Yu's eyes change from shock to anger to begging, he held the dagger and said coldly: "It's really cheap for you to let you die like this!" ”
The dagger in his hand slammed into Du Yu's throat.
A moment later, the door opened, Jin Zhong walked out of it with a bloody head, and in the rest of the room, dozens of attendants also walked out, and the group hurriedly ran out under the leadership of Jin Zhong.
In the side hall next to the imperial study, in the incense burner, there is incense prepared in advance by Taiyi Zhenren.
Opposite him, Dongfang Ming only felt that his head was getting dizzier and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
"Real person, how do I feel like I'm getting sleepy?"
Taiyi Zhenren, who had taken the antidote in advance, sat calmly, "Your Majesty, this is the image of the restoration of divine power, the power is nourishing and restoring your body, you feel happy and relaxed, this will naturally be sleepy, you don't need to worry, relax your mind, and practice every day." ”
At this moment, Dong Liang, who was accompanying him, frowned and said, "No, why do I feel so sleepy?" ”
Xiaodaotong's heart was suddenly shocked, but Taiyi Zhenren was not in a hurry, smiling and raising his eyebrows, "Oh? Dong Gonggong can actually feel it? Could it be that Gonggong Dong is also a person with wonderful roots, and he can have this harvest after following His Majesty to listen to the poor Taoist lectures? If this is the case, it is unknown how to regenerate the severed limbs and regain their strength in the future! ”
Dong Liang's heart was suddenly happy, now that he is in a high position, that aspect of things has become his biggest regret, and when he was said like this, he was overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, restrain your mind and listen to the chanting of the poor way."
In the room, there was no sound.
Soon, with a plop, Dongfang Ming fell into a deep sleep and fell on top of the futon.
Dong Liang, who had not fallen down in a daze, was startled, but Taiyi Zhenren took a leap, covered his mouth tightly, and then knocked him out directly.
"Damn, this medicine didn't work enough, it almost killed me!"
Taiyi Zhenren scolded, took out the rope prepared in advance, and tied Dongfang Ming and Dong Liang with Xiao Daotong, gagged their mouths, and dragged them behind the curtains on the side.
"Master, what should we do now?"
"Wait!"
Taiyi Zhenren said a word, and then sat back on the futon and pretended to recite the sutra again.
Not long after, outside the palace gate, there was a sound of footsteps, and a group of inner servants rushed quickly, and the leader shouted: "Quickly inform Your Majesty, Gao Yi led the inner servants to rebel!" ”
The faces of the two guards changed suddenly, and they stretched out their hands and were about to push the door open, but they remembered His Majesty's instructions before, and looked at the person who came hesitantly, "Which of you should go in and report!" ”
A group of chamberlains glanced at each other, and one of the leaders stomped their feet, walked to the temple door, and said softly: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Dong Gonggong? Dong Gonggong? ”
Even shouting a few times but not replying, the man looked at the guard, "Are you sure Your Majesty is inside, nothing will happen?" ”
The two guards hesitated and shouted twice, but still did not get a reply, their faces changed suddenly, and they pushed the door and rushed in.
Behind them, dozens of chamberlains also rushed into the temple.
The door of the temple was shut shut from the inside, and the noisy fighting was shut in the middle of the temple.
——
On the long street, it was empty.
The dead and wounded black riders had been cleaned up, and the remaining black riders slowly retreated, pulling away from each other, ready for the next charge.
Xuanhu also learned to be obedient, and let all the spies of the Black Ice Platform probe along the way, and stay along the way to prevent any accidents.
The people outside the Donghua Gate watched the black cavalry regroup, while the palace gate was still entangled, and vaguely listened to the reinforcements of the forbidden army coming one after another, and the situation seemed to take a sharp turn again after a moment of improvement.
Seeing this, Lu Yi shouted violently: "If you are not afraid of death, come with me, and line up to resist the enemy!" As long as we neutralize their impact, we won't be afraid of them! ”
"Boss, look!"
Suddenly, a man shouted, and saw a team rushing towards this side behind the long street.
"Patrol battalion!"
Seeing the dress of that team, Xia Jingyun's heart fell to the bottom, no matter how much he could calculate, he couldn't influence the combat power of the soldiers, and the result of the real sword and real gun.
The most feared situation still happened, they were blocked at the palace gate for too long, and the black cavalry and the patrol battalion reacted and became entangled.
The patrol camp has moved, so Sister Jin Zhong, Jin Zhong, this is the most critical step for you, you have to hurry up!
He turned his head to look at Lu Yi, "If something happens for a while"
Lu Yi didn't seem to hear his words, and pointed at the other end excitedly, "Childe, look! ”
Xia Jingyun followed his fingers, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The soldiers of the patrol battalion raised their swords and guns, and in the surprise of the black horsemen, they killed them fiercely!
The patrol battalion is its own people?!
The dead soldiers outside the Donghua Gate also shouted excitedly.
Xia Jingyun immediately seized the opportunity and shouted: "Our reinforcements have arrived, go all out to attack the door!" ”
The dead soldiers roared angrily, their morale was greatly boosted, and they once again fiercely attacked the forbidden army of Donghuamen.
Under Shang Zhicheng's absolutely suppressed martial arts, Ling Fox Sword was already full of colors, but he still fought to the death.
His actions also inspired the soldiers of the forbidden army, even in the face of Dong Shenghu's backlash and the attack of the "rebels", they still went forward one after another, and stubbornly guarded the palace gate without fear of death.
Yue Pingwu couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he looked at the small slope that had been piled up with dead bodies and looked at the front where there was almost no progress.
Until now, no one has come to attack them, which means that Xia Jingyun has done enough things and can't ask for anything more.
It's their own incompetence that they can't break through this line of defense!
There is no way, among the forbidden army, it is the best of the best, and it has always been taught by the loyal monarch, although his own soldiers are not bad, but they are still a little worse than the other party, and the other party also occupies a favorable position, so that he can't make this head.
If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't be a good result!
He prayed in his heart, God, can't you open your eyes?
Or, Xia Gongzi, can you create another miracle?
At this moment, a group of chamberlains ran in the distance, holding a person in a bright yellow robe who was tied up by five flowers, and shouted in unison:
"The prince has been captured! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
"The prince has been captured! Those who descend will not be killed! ”
Listening to this shout in unison, everyone in the fight was stunned and turned their heads to look at the person who was lifted.
It's really Your Majesty/Prince?!
At this moment, the belief that had always supported the battle of the forbidden army collapsed.
Shang Zhicheng took the opportunity to stab Ling Hujian's throat with a sword and shouted, "Enter the palace!" ”
Yue Pingwu also woke up like a dream, "Enter the palace!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”
The swords and guns of the forbidden army fell to the ground, and the armor soldiers poured into the Donghua Gate like a tide!
Xia Jingyun turned his head to look at Dongfang Bai and said with a smile: "Yu'er, are you ready?" ”
Dongfang Bai looked ahead and nodded heavily.
"Good! Then let's enter the palace! ”
Xia Jingyun led Dongfang Bai and stepped out of the carriage, one tall and one short, one big and one small, through the deep doorway, stepping through the bloody battlefield, and walking forward step by step in the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone. (End of chapter)
