Chapter 83: Frequent Accidents
Looking at the big seal held high in the hands of the comer, on the palace wall, Fan Zhen, who was dressed in military uniform, frowned, and asked with a smile:
"It turned out to be the guard next to the commander, but I don't know if you came here at this time to serve the commander's will?"
The guard was not deceitful, and nodded immediately:
"On the orders of the commander, I ordered Captain Fan to quickly lead the troops and attack the Zihuan Palace!"
"The little guard, how dare you speak wildly! How does Ben think that you are a spy of Daqi? ”
Fan Zhen squinted his eyes and sneered.
Seeing that Fan Zhen had buckled a big hat on himself with his backhand, the guard was furious in his heart, and raised his hand to ask.
"General Fan, what do you mean? This is the will of the commander, dare to obey the order and disrespect it? Look clearly, this is the Hou Ye's seal! ”
"Enough!"
Fan Zhen shouted angrily, took out the longbow from his back, bent the bow and arrows, aimed at the guards outside the palace, and said coldly:
"Who doesn't know, the commander is a loyal and patriotic person, and now His Majesty, the prince and the marquis are all in the Zihuan Palace, but you let this general lead the troops to attack the Zihuan Palace, needless to say!"
Seeing that the other party was still about to speak, Fan Zhen's eyes were cold, his right hand was slightly loose, and the arrow suddenly came out of the string, and in the other party's stunned gaze, his heart socket was shot through.
"You ......"
The guard pointed at Fan Zhen and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the other party was pierced through the heart by his own arrow, and he couldn't die anymore, Fan Zhen shook off the cloak behind him and said in a deep voice:
"Close the palace door and lock it!"
At this time, the guards around Fan Zhen were all loyal and righteous people he had personally selected, and most of them were good at shooting, hearing Fan Zhen's words, without the slightest hesitation, the door was closed, and the lock was locked, and within a moment, the entire Zihuan Hall was completely isolated from the outside world.
Even the corpses on the ground were dragged aside and hidden, leaving only a faint pool of blood outside the palace gate.
"General Fan, are we going to the Purple Huan Hall to rescue Your Majesty?"
A janissary walked up to Fan Zhen and asked in a low voice.
This person is none other than Zhao Yu's personal eunuch who came from the Zihuan Palace, Gao Lishi.
"Gao Diao Jue came from the Purple Huan Palace, and he should also know Huang Jingming's strength. Since Gao Diao Jue said that His Majesty has a capable person to protect him, he doesn't need us to wait. The most important thing for us now is to firmly guard the Purple Circle Palace!
Fang Cai came here, presumably under the assignment of Huang Wenbo. Listening to what Gao Diao said, His Majesty Huang Wenbo also has an arrangement, so we just need to guard this Zihuan Palace and not let others in.
Commander Zhang, I'll leave it to you here. Please ask Gao Diao Jue and Fan to go to the command post of the forbidden army and control the other two, so that this imperial city is foolproof. ”
Gao Lishi listened to Fan Zhen's words, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the other party.
"General Fan is really a loyal person for the country, our family admires it!"
Sure enough, smart people are easy to deal with.
This Fan Zhen is worthy of being the person Huang Jingming valued in the past, and this means of removing suspicion and showing his attitude alone is enough to make Gao Lishi think highly of him.
Putting the matter of guarding the Zihuan Hall in the hands of Zhang Xiu, a person trusted by His Majesty, is to show his own attitude; Allowing yourself to go with him to the command post of the forbidden army is to show loyalty to His Majesty through himself.
Although His Majesty's original plan has changed somewhat, if His Majesty knows about it in the future, he will not blame General Zhang, but will praise him for understanding things.
Thinking like this in his heart, Colliers said:
"General Fan, I'm afraid that you and I are still a little dangerous...... Before our family came, His Majesty had confessed that there were two strong men in the forbidden army, Wang Kan. ”
In Gao Lishi's opinion, he gave some credit to these two people, and His Majesty was happy to see it.
Although His Majesty does not allow the chamberlain to interfere in politics, as an chamberlain, it is always okay for him to have a good relationship with the confidant generals who are responsible for guarding the palace ban, right?
Drums don't need to be hammered.
Hearing Gao Lishi's words, Fan Zhen instantly understood the unfinished meaning of his words, and called out Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng, and asked the two to go to the forbidden army command post with them.
However, less than half a mile after the four of them walked out, they felt a tremor from a distance.
Among the four, Gao Lishi, who had the best light skills, came to the front in a few leaps, but saw a group of forbidden troops rushing towards this side.
After listening to Gao Lishi's story, Fan Zhen's face changed suddenly.
"Oh no, someone over there got the first step!"
Gao Lishi's mind turned sharply, and he decisively instructed several people:
"General Fan, without further ado, there are people on the command post side who are the first to get there, and I can't say that the same is true on the arsenal side, so you and our family will go to the arsenal side to help Gao Shilang. Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng, two strong men, you first set up an ambush, and when Commander Zhang's side began to fight, you will kill from behind these traitors and kill them by surprise. ”
At this time, there was no room for the slightest hesitation, and the three of Fan Zhen reacted almost instantly.
"Without further ado, let's do it according to Gao Mink!"
"It's a pity that Gao Mink's side is a step ...... slower"
On the palace wall, seeing the groups of forbidden soldiers pouring out from the corridor in the distance, a trace of surprise flashed on Zhang Xiu's face, but although he was not shocked, he whispered to his guards:
"Let the brothers lie in ambush behind the palace wall, and when they hear the general's order, they will shoot the arrows in their hands and shoot three rounds in a row!"
"Whoa!"
One of the Praetorian guards replied in a low voice.
Soon, a sound of ridicule came from behind the palace wall, and after a short time, it disappeared.
The two palace commanders Sun Bo and Fang Xin led the elite forbidden army with a number of about three hundred to the outside of the Zihuan Palace, looking at the closed palace gate in front of them, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both felt a little tricky.
"Zhang Xiu, I've seen two colleagues!"
With the sound, Zhang Xiu's figure appeared on the palace wall.
"With armor on your body, you can't see it!"
"Commander Zhang? How about you, General Fan? ”
Seeing that it was Zhang Xiu, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Sun Bo and Fang Xin, and they asked out loud.
"General Fan? Two colleagues, you ask Ben General, who Ben will ask? ”
Faced with the questioning of the two, Zhang Xiu's face was stunned.
Beside Zhang Xiu, several of Fan Zhen's cronies bowed their heads deeply, for fear that they would not be able to hold back and laugh out loud.
They didn't find out that this Conductor Zhang made good acting skills!
"You didn't see him?"
Sun Bo and Fang Xin were slightly stunned, and Sun Bo immediately waved his hand and said:
"General Zhang, open the palace gate quickly, and the two of us will be ordered by Commander Huang to take over the defense of the Zihuan Palace!"
Regarding his words, Zhang Xiu was noncommittal, and arched his hand:
"Dare to ask General Sun, is there a handwritten letter from Commander Huang, or an edict from His Majesty?"
Zhang Xiu's words directly stopped the two of them.
They came in a hurry, and they did not have either of these things in their hands.
Seeing that the two of them were speechless, Zhang Xiu hugged his fists and said:
"If the two colleagues don't have it, then they won't be able to obey their fate, so the two of you should go back and forth from somewhere."
"You!"
A flash of anger flashed in Sun Bo and Fang Xin's eyes.
They never expected that this Zhang embroidery would be a product that does not buy oil and salt.
"Your Excellency!"
At this moment, a personal soldier walked up to the two of them, whispered a few words, and then pointed in one direction with his hand.
By the moonlight, Zhang Xiu could see clearly on the palace wall, and the position pointed by the pro-soldier was exactly where the body of Fang Cai's personal guard was located.
The first strike is strong, and the last strike suffers!
Seeing that he couldn't continue to delay, Zhang Xiu made a decision instantly, waved his hand, and snorted.
"Shoot!"
With Zhang Xiu's voice, a forbidden soldier with a bow and crossbow suddenly appeared on the palace wall.
In the "crunch" sound of the bowstring pulling and the crossbow arrows being wound, one arrow after another suddenly shot out, like a dense swarm of bees, from the palace wall from above, towards the forbidden army and others whose faces had changed greatly.
After Huang Wenbo was promoted to the commander of the palace, he could command all the forbidden troops, but although this person had good martial arts, he was not good at leading the troops.
However, Fan Zhen's department is different.
He personally selected his soldiers and trained them strictly, both in terms of strength and cooperation, far stronger than the forbidden army led by the other two captains.
In addition, the forbidden army of the palace, the bows and crossbows they wore were all the top of the Great Chu, so they suddenly attacked, and the forbidden army under the palace wall was caught off guard, and a large piece fell in the blink of an eye.
"Damn, Zhang Xiu, you dare to cheat! When you fall into our hands, you will be worse off than dead! ”
Looking at the subordinates who were shot down, Sun Bo and Fang Xin were furious, swinging their swords to block the crossbow arrows shot at them as much as possible, and scolding at the same time, obviously extremely angry.
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Xiu laughed loudly when he heard this, and the sound shook the four fields.
"At the behest of His Majesty, and entrusted by General Fan, I will guard this Zihuan Hall and not let a single soldier enter the palace! If you wait for the rebels and thieves, everyone will be punished! Brothers, get rid of the rebellion, and at this moment, shoot me! ”
As soon as these words came out, under the palace walls, the faces of many forbidden soldiers showed hesitation.
Those two commanders are Huang Wenbo's cronies and want to rebel, but it doesn't mean that they are too......
At the same time, encouraged by Zhang Xiu's words, the strength of the forbidden soldiers, who was already stronger than the other two divisions, was even more agitated in their hearts, bent their bows and arrows, and under Zhang Xiu's command, they continued to throw the bows and arrows in their hands towards the bottom of the palace wall.
Under the palace wall, some people wanted to rush, some people wanted to retreat, and it was a mess for a while.
"Old Fang, you stabilize the situation, I will personally take the guards to rush up and take down Zhang Xiuxiao'er!"
"Okay, Lao Sun, just do as you say, capture the thief and capture the king first!"
Seeing that the situation was gradually unfavorable to their side, the two who knew that they had no way out at this time quickly reached a consensus.
The commander surnamed Fang stabilized the situation, and Sun Bo jumped onto the palace wall with several personal guards and attacked Zhang Xiuqi.
"The traitor is so daring, everyone will retreat!"
Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, pulled out the bright silver gun inserted beside him, held the gun with both hands, shook it gently, and suddenly, shook out bowls of big gun flowers.
"Look at the guns!"
With a low shout, the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand turned into two, two into four, and four into eight, but in the blink of an eye, everyone was full of guns, and the sound of the tip of the spear breaking through the air was endless, like a hundred birds chirping.
Countless guns weaved into a big net in front of Zhang Xiu, and in the next moment, the guns converged and turned into a silver phoenix with wings spreading.
Hundreds of birds towards the phoenix gun!
In an instant, these five words suddenly appeared in the minds of everyone who saw this scene!
"Ahh
With the screams, more than a dozen of Sun Bo's guards were all killed by Zhang Xiu's shot, and he himself was covered in blood, and his eyes were full of horror when he looked at Zhang Xiu.
Looking at Zhang Xiu, who was walking towards him with a gun, Sun Bo pulled an ugly smile at the corner of his mouth, and was about to speak, but he felt a pain in his chest, lowered his head, and saw that the tip of the two-foot-long spear was pierced in his heart.
"Rebels and thieves, it's not a pity to die!"
Zhang Xiu snorted coldly, pulled out the spear pierced the opponent's heart with his right hand, pulled out the long sword with his left hand, and cut off the head of the commander surnamed Sun with a sword.
"Sun Bo is dead, do you still have to resist?"
Looking at the dead head that was picked on the tip of the gun, Fang Xin's confidence rose with a sad sadness of the rabbit and the fox, and the morale of the forbidden army under his command dropped greatly, and some people even began to think about how to run away.
At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in the rear.
Fang Xin hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that one person was holding a Mo knife and the other was holding a spear, like two killing gods, and the place where they passed was like chopping waves, killing through the entire rear army in the blink of an eye, rushing towards his side.
"Wang Xiong's birthday, Kan Ling, you are also ......"
Fang Xin saw the identity of the person, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Your grandfather is loyal to His Majesty! Traitor, die to grandpa! ”
Kan Ling, who was holding the Mo knife, was covered in blood, laughed wildly, rushed to Fang Xin in three or two steps, raised the one-zhang long Mo knife in his hand over the top, and then slashed down heavily!
The snow-like sword light flashed, and Fang Xin, who raised his weapon to block, stood in place.
"The things of the earth chicken and the tile dog are vulnerable!"
Kan Ling put away his knife and snorted coldly.
In the next moment, a blood mark appeared from between Fang Xin's eyebrows, and then Fang Xin's weapon split in half and fell to the ground.
The thick bloody aura instantly diffused.
"Brother, you ...... too"
glanced at this bloody scene, and then rushed to Wang Xiongdan shook his head with a look of disgust.
Kan Ling laughed "hehe", he didn't want to grab credit!
"Fang Xin is dead, and you don't give up your weapons and surrender, do you want to follow in the footsteps of these two?"
The guards who rushed to the front and were about to continue to storm the palace gate heard the sound from behind, and looked back in surprise, and the scene that caught their eyes made them only feel cold in their hands and feet, and their morale fell directly to the bottom.
Both of them were in command, and they were all dead in the blink of an eye!
Zhang Xiu saw that the morale below had reached the freezing point, and understood that the time had come, raised his hand and shook out a roll of bright yellow silk paper, and said loudly:
"This is Your Majesty's Decree! Your Majesty is benevolent, never ask, lay down your weapons, and don't kill those who surrender! ”
Before Fan Zhen left, he handed over the matter of guarding the Zihuan Hall to Zhang Xiu, and by the way, he also left this holy decree.
"Did you hear it, Your Majesty said, only punish the evil, threaten never ask, lay down your weapons, and don't kill those who surrender!"
Kan Ling shouted at the top of his voice, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Grandma's, this time, he has to take a lot less credit!
For a while, the voice of "Your Majesty is benevolent, only punishes the evil, threatens never asks, lays down your weapons, and does not kill those who descend" echoed outside the Zihuan Palace.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, the forbidden soldiers who followed Fang Sun and the others here completely lost the courage to fight again.
Now that they heard that they would surrender and not kill, they dared to hesitate one by one, and threw the blades in their hands to the ground, and then held their heads in their hands and knelt on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, only Wang Xiongdan and Kan Ling were standing outside the Zihuan Palace.
