Chapter 289: Charging into battle

"How's the situation with the guards at the door?" asked Thodo, who had just put on his battle armor at the door of the Prime Minister's Hall, with a serious face.

"The situation of the guards is fine, there are heavy troops in the front row, and there are copper cannons in the back row, as long as the copper cannon firepower is not a problem, the enemy army will not be able to attack the prime minister's mansion before dawn-" said the soldier who came to report.

"Where's the back road?" asked Urlo with Todo again, "There is no problem with the back road out of Yuxing City, right?"

"Everything is ready...... "The soldier continued, "At the west gate of Yuxing City, there are already troops waiting there, as long as you arrive at the west gate, you can evacuate at any time-"

"Very good-" Wu Luo took Todo to walk a few steps out of the door, looked in the direction of the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and saw that the door was already full of corpses of Chang Yuchun's army soldiers, and then he asked again, "The entrance of this Prime Minister's Mansion is really a pass, as long as there is a copper cannon guard, they don't want to step into the Prime Minister's Mansion half a step!"

"My lord, while the enemy still doesn't know your movements, let's get out of here...... the soldier reminded again.

Urlo took Todo nodded, and just wanted to take a few steps in the opposite direction, when he suddenly turned around and saw a familiar figure - in the darkness of the night, the occasional flash of firelight, and the Vula took Todo to see his face clearly. Directly in front of the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in the gap between the corpses of the soldiers, the previous general Rong Wuzheng and Nangong Jun Murong Fei and others were discussing offensive countermeasures.

"Isn't that General Rongwu?" said Ullo with Todo, who saw the culprit of everything, gritted his teeth and resented.

"It's really General Rongwu—" The soldier glanced at him and said. "I really didn't expect that he surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he actually had the face to help Zhu Yuanzhang bite us back-"

Urlo and Todo did not rush to escape. He stood still for a moment, then stretched out his right hand to the guard behind him and said, "Someone, bring a bow and arrows!"

After giving the order, the soldiers behind him quickly brought a tense longbow and handed over a sharp arrow.

"My lord, it's too late to evacuate sooner, what are you doing here?" the soldier asked again.

Urlo took Todo to look angrily at the hidden glory in the night ahead. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Even if I want to leave, I have to kill this traitor with my own hands first!" With another bombardment of the bronze cannon, the rushing fire illuminated the direction of Rongwu, and the arrow in the hand of the Ula belt Todo was also aimed, ready to fire at any time.

"Remembered. Rongwu. This is the fate of betraying the king and betraying the court—" Ullo buttered again, and then his eyes were certain, and he let go of the fingers of his right hand.

However, at the moment when the Vula took Todo to let go, a black figure swept through the night like lightning, leaping out of the top of Vula Todo's head, and the shadow moved forward in an instant. At the same time, in the light of the fire for a moment. A spearhead blocked the arrow fired by the Ullo with Todo.

At first glance, the head of the gun is a delicate pear flower gun. With such a flashing figure and such a swift skill, who is it if it is not Tang Zhan?

Tang Zhan's figure flew by, and after blocking the arrow of the Vula belt Todo, he completely landed in front of the Vula belt Todo.

"My lord, danger—" Seeing this, the guards beside him nervously pulled the Vula Todo to the back of the formation, and the front row quickly discharged the guards' formation.

"Tang Zhan?" Wu Luo took Todo to see Tang Zhan's sudden appearance, and was a little surprised, "How can you ...... Aren't you still in the dungeon?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, my lord......" Tang Zhan picked up the pear flower gun, and the head of the gun was pointed at the Wuluo belt Todo, "Didn't you want me to make a choice the next day?" But tonight, it seems that I can't wait for the opportunity to come tomorrow, so I'll come out of the dungeon tonight, and then make a break with you here-"

As soon as Wuluo took Todo to see Tang Zhan standing here with confidence on his face, he knew that there must be something wrong with Dou Deyong. But he still had to wait for Luoyang City to expand Timur's reinforcements, and try his best to know the secrets of the Tang family, so he made up his mind that he couldn't die here like this.

So, the Ullo took Todo and immediately ordered: "Take it for me—"

As soon as the order was given, all the soldiers in the front row rushed towards Tang Zhan with their swords, while Wuluo and Todo themselves fled from the Prime Minister's Mansion under the cover of other guards and continued to flee in the direction of the west gate of the city.

Seeing this, Tang Zhan knew that the Wuluo belt Todo was gone, and today he had to take the Wuluo belt Todo no matter what. Seeing the Mengyuan soldiers rushing up all around, Tang Zhan clenched the barrel of the gun with both hands, and the spear lifted forward, and the internal force burst out instantly. In an instant, he only felt the oppressive force like a boulder, and as soon as the Meng Yuan soldiers around him got close, they were shocked to the ground by Tang Zhan's strong internal force.

One round was not enough, Tang Zhan's spear turned, swept the two styles, and the left and right were "Wangyu Shocking". I felt the power of the two giant axes on the left and right to split the mountain, and the pear blossom spear swept on the armor on the waists of the Mengyuan soldiers on the left and right.

"Ahh

Among the Mengyuan soldiers who besieged Tang Zhan, some of them were skilled in Tang Zhan's martial arts, and Zhilu Dao himself and others were not Tang Zhan's opponents, and they already had the intention of fleeing backwards. Seeing this, Tang Zhan struck first, strode forward, the pear flower spear slashed forward, the golden light flashed, and the "light thunder slash" split in the middle like lightning. The Meng Yuan soldiers on both sides were affected by it, and turned around and fell to the ground again, completely powerless to fight back.

After killing these minions three times and twice, Tang Zhan picked up the pear flower gun again, glanced around at the fallen Mengyuan soldiers on the ground, and then fixed the direction in which Wuluo took Toduo to escape, and said secretly in his heart: "Zhu Yuanzhang's army attacked Yuxing City at night, this is the best opportunity for Wuluo to take Todo on the spot, and it is also the best opportunity to settle the grievances of the Tang family and his father, and he must not be allowed to escape......"

So, Tang Zhan stood on tiptoe, flew onto the roof with light skills, and continued to pursue in the direction where Wuluo took Todo to escape......

Tang Zhan was desperately chasing Wuluo with Todo, but the two armies were still in a stalemate at the front gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion......

Although it is said that Chang Yuchun's troops easily attacked Yuxing City, and joined forces with Meng Yuan's surrendered cavalry army. Soon attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the morale was greatly boosted. However, the terrain of the Xiangfu Pass is narrow, and the gate of the house is guarded by copper cannons and firearms. The vanguard army suffered heavy casualties, but failed to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion for half a step.

At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Rong Wu was discussing with Nangong Jun Murong Fei and others how to attack the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Zhao Zichuan's sudden request made Rong Wu, who was in charge of this matter, hesitate for a long time.

"If you continue to hesitate, there will be more casualties among your brothers-" Zhao Zichuan said resolutely, "General." In the next wish, he fought with his life, charged into battle alone, and bypassed the enemy formation in the rain of arrows. Stop the brass cannon fire, so that the troops behind can smoothly rush forward-"

Rong Wu was still hesitant, after all, Zhao Zichuan was just an outsider in his eyes, and let an outsider risk his life to attack the army. Rong Wu himself didn't dare to take responsibility.

However, in a moment of Rong Wu's hesitation. Behind them were cavalry and infantry rushing towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Mengyuan garrison of the Xiangfu still resisted stubbornly, and with two loud bangs, two copper cannon fires came like meteors.

"Boom-" The fire on the position was instantaneous, and the screams of the dead and wounded soldiers were again. The surviving cavalry did not flinch, and continued to gallop forward on horseback.

And the bronze cannon of the Mengyuan soldiers' position passed, and then there was a dense rain arrow array. In the dark night, the arrows rained inseparably, and two or three arrows hit the chest of the charging cavalry. The soldier screamed and was directly knocked off the pegasus, and one of the soldiers happened to fall next to Zhao Zichuan and the others. The galloping horse had just stepped on its front hooves......

In an instant, Zhao Zichuan seemed to have strengthened his determination, stood up, and stretched his right hand forward. "Phew—" The horse neighed and howled—it turned out that Zhao Zichuan's right hand grabbed the reins of the horse and stopped the galloping horse with one hand.

This time, Zhao Zichuan didn't say a word, and didn't wait for Rong Wu to decide, he reflexively rode on horseback, seemingly ready to rush into the enemy formation.

"Zichuan, come down, you're crazy-" Li Yuru saw it below, and shouted in some horror.

Zhao Zichuan looked forward with his eyes, and then said to Li Yuru: "Yuru, didn't you say that I was a nest when I was in the dungeon? Facing the Mengyuan enemy formation today, I will prove to you the backbone of the descendants of the Zhao family!"

"Are you still serious about what you said in the dungeon?" Li Yuru didn't care about anything, all she thought in her heart was that Zhao Zichuan couldn't have an accident.

Zhao Zichuan did not respond to Li Yuru's words this time, but said to Nangong Jun and Murong Fei beside him: "Brother Nangong, Brother Murong, do you remember what Master said to us before?" At this time, Zhao Zichuan mentioned him and Nangong Jun Murong Fei's master, Master Xuankong.

Nangong Jun recalled, and then said: "Master said that if the three of us brothers are on the same road in the future, we will have to live and die together side by side, which is also a rare bold statement said by the master with a peaceful personality......

Zhao Zichuan rode on the horse, pulled out the two swords of Qiankun at his waist, and then looked ahead and said righteously: "Then now brother, I will rush to the battle first, and the two of you will help my brother and me——"

Nangong Jun and Murong Fei listened and understood that Zhao Zichuan wanted the two of them to help him charge into battle. So Nangong Jun smiled slightly and said, "I understand, Brother Murong and I will help you-"

After speaking, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei nodded to each other, pulled their war horses, and rode on their horses to prepare to charge with Zhao Zichuan.

"The two of you are also ......" Li Yuru said in surprise and worry when she saw that Nangong Jun and Murong Fei were also going to rush to kill with Zhao Zichuan.

Nangong Jun and Murong Fei separated Zhao Zichuan's left and right flanks, and then Nangong Jun said to Rong Wu: "General Rong Wu, please prepare the soldiers for the charge, wait until the three of us successfully charge the battle, and ask General Rong Wu to give the order to attack——"

Rong Wu saw the courage of the three brothers who regarded death as home, and knew that they had made up their minds to die, and then Rong Wu nodded and said in a slightly deep voice: "I know the way...... General Nangong, General Murong, and Brother Zhao, you have to be careful yourself......"

The three of them did not turn back to talk to Rong Wu and Li Yuru, but focused their attention completely on the enemy formation in front of them...... In an instant, the order in front of the enemy formation rose again, the bow and arrow array rose again, and the dense flying attack was like a violent storm.

Zhao Zichuan, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei rode on their horses and watched the rain of arrows flying, without any fear. Zhao Zichuan's Qiankun two swords, Nangong Jun's snake spear, and Murong Fei's long sword swung up at the same time, blocking the flying arrows one by one with their swift skills......

"It's now—" After blocking the last arrow that flew in, Zhao Zichuan shouted. Then he pulled up the reins of the horse. "Huh-" The sound of horses' hooves was about to rise, and Zhao Zichuan held his sword in both hands and took the lead in rushing away.

"Phew—" immediately after. Nangong Jun and Murong Fei also got up and escorted the left and right wings.

The already narrow pass is not a short distance from the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and coupled with the corpses of the soldiers who rushed to kill all the way on the ground, it is not easy for Zhao Zichuan and the three of them to go all the way. But at this time, Zhao Zichuan, who was rushing to the front, had his eyes like knives, and seemed to believe that he must fall into battle.

"Dad, when the child pulled out the two swords in front of his ancestors, he swore that he would have these two swords in this life. will definitely inherit the will of the ancestors, go to the battlefield, kill Yidi, today's battle of the Prime Minister is the beginning of the child's ambition......" Zhao Zichuan rushed to the enemy formation for a moment. The thought crossed my mind......

"Brother Zichuan, beware of the copper cannon—" Suddenly, Nangong Jun behind him shouted loudly.

Seeing that the copper cannon at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in front had been ignited, Zhao Zichuan looked at the mouth of the copper cannon. Then he lowered his head to the lower part of the ...... "boom-" another shell flew by. It just skimmed over Zhao Zichuan's head.

Before Zhao Zichuan could realize it, he felt a hot wave of heat above his head, and soon a loud explosion sounded behind him.

brushed shoulders with death like this, and Zhao Zichuan was the first time in his life. After Zhao Zichuan escaped this catastrophe, he just raised his head when he saw two Mengyuan soldiers with long weapons rushing up. Zhao Zichuan saw that he was decided, "Ah-" and shouted, and the left and right swords came out. On one side of the figure, two sword lights flashed. He immediately took the lives of those two men.

However, such a critical situation did not wait for Zhao Zichuan to ease his mind, only to see the Mengyuan bow and arrow soldiers who were ambushed left and right looked at Zhao Zichuan in the center, and at the same time opened their bows in the direction of Zhao Zichuan.

Seeing this, Zhao Zichuan's eyes froze, and the reins of the horse in his left hand were violently lifted back. An amazing scene happened - only seeing Zhao Zichuan's rope, the horse neighed again, and then Zhao Zichuan and the horse jumped up too high at the same time, and the horse's hooves dodged the flying arrows.

Zhao Zichuan and his horse galloped in mid-air, like a flying horse general galloping in the night, stunned the Mengyuan soldiers who were ambushed just now.

"Brother Zichuan, we're here—" At this moment, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei beside him shouted at the same time. I saw Nangong Jun and Murong Fei moving away on both wings, and the direction was straight towards the Meng Yuan archers who were ambushed on both sides just now.

The Meng Yuan soldiers on both sides saw Nangong Jun and Murong Fei rushing desperately to kill, and they panicked even more, and hurriedly pulled out their bows and arrows, but they couldn't open their hands. After waiting for these Mengyuan soldiers to get ready, Nangong Jun and Murong Fei rode in first, and after the screams of the Mengyuan soldiers, the Mengyuan soldiers on both sides had already been killed.

After the dangerous round, Zhao Zichuan rode his horse and continued to gallop towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Seeing this, the soldiers guarding the bronze cannon immediately ordered the bronze gunners to continue firing.

Zhao Zichuan saw the soldier's movements, measured his eyes and estimated the distance of several steps from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then accelerated the distance of galloping on horseback.

The burning line of the copper cannon had already crossed, and just as Zhao Zichuan's next horse's hooves stepped up, a firelight crossed, accompanied by a deafening loud sound, and a flame cannonball flew by.

Zhao Zichuan had no choice, he used all his strength, and the whole person jumped high from the horse. And in an instant, the cannonballs of the copper cannon happened to shuttle between Zhao Zichuan and the horse.

"Brother Zichuan-" Nangong Jun and Murong Fei shouted loudly at the same time when they saw the scene of Zhao Zichuan flying.

"Ahh

The soldiers at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw that Zhao Zichuan was descending from the sky with a murderous aura, and where could he stay, they had already abandoned their troops and fled in all directions. But the Mengyuan soldiers next to the bronze cannon still did not escape, and Zhao Zichuan, who flew down, happened to pass through the heart with two swords on the left and right, and was killed on the spot.

The copper cannon pass had been broken, and when Nangong Jun and Murong Fei saw it, they immediately sent a signal to the place where Rongwu was in the distance. The soldiers waiting on Rongwu's side were already ready to attack, and the pass was broken, and all the soldiers let out a shout of "kill-", and rushed forward angrily over the corpses of the brothers who had died in the previous charge, and the entire alley was quickly flooded by the surging soldiers...... (To be continued......)
