Chapter 188: Outside the Mountain, Qingshan Building, Outer Building (4)
The eldest and the third were seriously injured on the ground, and suddenly realized Zongzheng's plan, and immediately sat up, wanting to take off the clothes on their bodies in time to remove the bright spots.
Venerable Shui Yuan and Venerable Mu Yuan couldn't allow them any respite at all, so they launched a series of attacks when they caught them, and the two of them only focused on dodging, and they had no time to take off their clothes until they couldn't avoid it, and they were beaten and seriously injured.
Zongzheng's move is too vicious, but it is also a master's move, killing two birds with one stone.
One is to use the two of them to divert the attention of Venerable Shui Yuan and Venerable Mu Yuan to buy time for the rest of them to escape from Juxian Pavilion, and the other is to use the hands of Venerable Shui Yuan and Venerable Mu Yuan to get rid of the two strong enemies, so that they will not leave a handle on the Valley of Beauty, after all, they died from Shui Yuan Gong and Mu Yuan Gong.
Kuji and the others protected each other, supported each other, groped in the dark, and went to the gate of Juxian Pavilion in the east.
Venerable Jin Yuan seemed to sense the signs of their breakthrough, and wanted to block in the middle of the passage and intercept them, but he was entangled by Venerable Tuyuan and could not come forward.
Venerable Huoyuan was afraid of the Fire Flame Sword and the Water Ice Sword in the hands of Zong Zheng and Xian Jie, and was entangled by Zong Zheng and Xian Jie with a combined sword move, and he couldn't get out.
Venerable Mu Yuan and Venerable Shui Yuan focused their attention on those two moving bright spots.
In the middle of this struggle, Kuji and the others had already come to the gate of Juxian Pavilion.
Outside, the water was already surrounded by many soldiers, and as soon as Kuji and the others opened the door of Juxian Pavilion, a rain of arrows shot into the air.
The crowd quickly closed the door again, and fell to the ground as the rain of arrows fell on the door panel with a beeping sound, like raindrops hitting the planks.
Several clusters of arrows shot through the window paper into the door, and the wind was strong and stuck in the ground.
Grief hurriedly asked, "Uncle Shi, the outside is surrounded like an iron bucket, what should I do?"
Kuji looked at everyone and sighed: "Now everyone is injured, and I'm afraid of fighting out of the encirclement" Kuji didn't continue to say, everyone knows the current hunger situation, and they also understand the meaning of Kuji.
Sorrow was unwilling to give in, he had already made up his mind that he would not return to the dark and tormented dungeon even if he died. He shouted, "What then?
Qu Zicheng reminded: "If you can't escape in time, I'm afraid you will live up to the kindness of Zong Zheng Shaoxia." ”
Yu Ya agitated: "It's a big deal to go out and fight with them, and they will die horizontally and vertically." ”
When everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard a noise outside, as if the army outside had been attacked.
Through the crack in the door, Grief vaguely saw a large group of horses coming towards Juxian Pavilion, these horses were fierce and rampant, and immediately scattered the soldiers besieging Juxian Pavilion.
A woman in white rode a black horse, her body was light and nimble, and she broke through the encirclement.
Seeing that the formation outside had been disrupted, Kuji and the others immediately made a decision and led everyone to rush out.
They resisted the slashing all the way, and when they saw the horses rushing into the encirclement, they jumped up and pulled the horses around and went to the periphery.
After a scuffle, they finally rode out of the siege and headed for the gates of Miyagi.
The 100 soldiers guarding the city gate saw Kuji and others coming on horseback, lined up to meet each other, and strictly guarded the city gate.
When Kuji and the others got closer and closer, the crossbow team a hundred paces away on the opposite side held a curved bow and tightened the bowstring, just waiting for the order of the captain of the rear guard.
Kuji and the others knew very well in their hearts that they had to break out of the city gate as soon as possible, otherwise, the soldiers in the rear would press up, and it would be too late.
Qu Zicheng, Yu Ya and Grief were the three people who were lucky not to be injured among the crowd, and they took the lead and took the initiative to come to the front to take the lead.
The chaotic arrows shot towards Qu Zicheng and others, everyone waved their swords to block, flexibly dodged, the horses went more and further, many masters and the soldiers arranged in the front of the short hand, and suddenly the fierce fighting sounded.
The battle lasted only a moment, and suddenly, there were several loud bangs in the direction of the city gate, and the splattered debris flew towards the crossbow team.
Some of the soldiers guarding the city gate were killed on the spot, lying on the ground with a blur of flesh and blood, while others were seriously wounded on the ground, spurting blood from their mouths.
Hearing the sound of crackling, Qu Zicheng immediately grabbed the reins and stopped rushing forward, and the people who followed behind also stopped their horses in time.
The smoke filled the air, and the sudden explosion caused the crossbowmen who had retreated to the rear to instinctively look back to see what had happened.
In the hazy smoke, the ears of all the crossbow team members faintly heard a whooshing sound, this sound, they were too familiar, but unfortunately they didn't have time to react, their eyes surged with unprecedented horror.
Hundreds of sharp arrows passed through the city gate and attacked the crossbow team, some of them were shot to the ground, some were shot a few feet away, their bodies were full of arrows, and the corpses of the hundred and ten soldiers defending the city were scattered all over the ground in an instant.
In the smoke and dust, a large group of men and horses, armed with swords and crossbows, poured into the city, numbering hundreds of them, and quickly finished off the remaining struggling men.
Qu Zicheng held his long sword and watched warily ahead, and he soon noticed that the person in front of him was also a Mongol.
Locked up in the dungeon for more than seven years, they had no idea what was going on outside, so they had no idea that the Mongols were in infighting.
They were shocked to see the scene of the Mongols killing each other in front of them, but they were still vigilant.
The sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground sounded from behind,
"It's not good, they're catching up!" shouted the Li brothers in Lijiazhai, who were slightly injured and were in charge of the break,
Qu Zicheng knew that he had to lead everyone to evacuate as soon as possible, but the sudden appearance of the Mongolian army in front of him made him hesitate.
"In front, are the masters of the Central Plains factions rescued by Zongzheng?" A question came from the front, and the person leading the team was Zhang Hongyan.
It turned out that it was Kublai Khan's army that broke into the door, Zhang Hongyan was ordered to follow Zongzheng's plan in advance, and when Ali Buge transferred troops to pursue, he quietly infiltrated Ali Buge's camp with a team of 100 people, and waited until Zongzheng rescued the trapped master in the dungeon, and he was responsible for carrying explosives to attack from outside the outer city gate.
Zhang Hongyan kept lying outside with people after nightfall, until he heard the sound of fighting from inside the city gate, knew that Zongzheng had succeeded, and immediately ordered to attack from the outside.
Hearing Zongzheng's name, Qu Zicheng responded: "Exactly!"
"Please come over here, please!" Zhang Hongyan replied, his army moving out of the way.
Seeing that the other party killed the Mongolian soldiers who prevented him from getting out of the city, Qu Zicheng felt that the other party had no malicious intentions, and the rear was very critical, so he had no choice but to lead everyone forward, "Everyone be careful!" Qu Zicheng reminded softly, and his heart was not very relieved after all.
When the Li brothers of Lijiazhai, who were left behind, came safely behind the army, Zhang Hongyan's men and horses immediately closed the passage again, and immediately presented a battle formation, with the bow and crossbow team in front ready to attack, and the shield soldiers covering the rear and being well-trained.
On both sides of this formation, which combined attack and defense, two lines of soldiers carrying jars poured out, and they quickly ran sixty paces ahead, slamming the jars in their hands to the ground.
A pungent smell of a thick liquid flowed from the shattered jar, which was connected in an arc and lay silently on the periphery of the city gate, forming a blockade.
When they broke the jar, they took the burden from their backs and sprinkled the contents of the bag in front of the liquid.
The whole move was extremely skillful, and it only took a moment to complete, and they quickly retreated from the offensive and defensive formations along the same path.
The soldiers at the front of the offensive and defensive formations, they look ahead, tense their nerves, ready to meet the incoming enemy at any time.
Seeing that all the arrangements were in place, Zhang Hongyan took out a shocking thunder from his arms, pulled down the string, and a cluster of brilliant sparks rose high in the sky, bursting into a colorful auspicious cloud in the silent night sky, dazzling.
Qu Zicheng and Kuji and others did not understand what this meant, and they did not understand why Zong Zheng was related to another group of Mongols, and even had doubts about Zong Zheng's purpose in rescuing him.
Kuji did not forget Zongzheng's explanation, he felt that Zongzheng was trustworthy, he wanted to lead everyone to escape and rush to the Valley of Broken Intestines as soon as possible, but when he looked back at the outside of the city, the dense outer camp seemed to have become an insurmountable barrier for his own people who had been seriously injured, and he did not dare to leave at this moment.
Seeing the colorful auspicious clouds bursting in the sky, Kublai Khan's men and horses, who had originally ambushed and infiltrated into Ali Buge's military camp, immediately set fire to the camp tent in the army as originally planned, and the entire camp was immediately on fire, and everyone rushed to fight the fire and flee for their lives.
The whole camp was immediately in a panic, the fire was growing, and when the army was in chaos, the outside of the camp resounded with the sound of war drums and the angry shouts of soldiers rushing to kill, and in the shadows, thousands of soldiers poured in from the periphery in the dark.
The generals at all levels who were responsible for staying behind in Ali Buge's army were overwhelmed by the scene in front of them, they couldn't understand that the Great Khan had clearly gone to pursue Kublai Khan's army, and there was no large-scale enemy army in the entire Horin, but at this time, how could so many men and horses emerge from the periphery, looking at their offensive posture, they were clearly well-trained, battle-hardened, and the elite of the army.
Inside the gate of Miyagi, the pursuing army from Juxian Pavilion soon rushed over, with one hundred and ten cavalry at the head and nearly a thousand infantry at the rear, who were the defensive force of the entire Miyagi.
The pursuers were surging, like a fierce tiger rushing straight to the city gate, and the cavalry in the lead rushed towards Zhang Hongyan, who was in ambush array, with a scimitar in hand.
The distance was getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer, until there was still less than a hundred paces away, the soldiers guarding the front held their breath and stared straight ahead, and when they were at the last moment, Zhang Hongyan did not panic at all.
Qu Zicheng and Ku Ji and the others looked at the army rushing forward in the distance, and then looked at the soldiers who were not moving like a mountain in front of them, the disparity in strength and the tension of the situation forced them to be a little confused.
This is destined to be a vicious battle, the battle of the city gate is related to the success or failure of the entire Helin battle situation, blocking the city gate is to block the retreat of the entire remaining Helin army, blocking their retreat, they naturally surrender without a fight.
Kublai Khan and the valley lord of the Beauty Valley are well aware of this, and whether the battle will be decided, and whether or not He Lin can fall into Kublai Khan's army will determine the overall situation of the entire struggle for Khan.
Both of them knew that in addition to the thousands of guards with superior combat power, the guards in the palace city also had the hidden power of the Juxian Pavilion, and if they wanted to successfully block the palace gate, they must withstand these two forces.
Therefore, Zong Zheng came up with a way to transfer the foreign masters of the Juxian Pavilion, and then use the rescue of the masters in the dungeon of the Juxian Pavilion to create chaos and clamp down on the hidden power of the Juxian Pavilion, this method is a sufficient reason for Zong Zheng to successfully persuade Kublai Khan and the Valley Lord of the Beauty Valley to send people to support, and because of this, both of them sent capable people.
