Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1337
The collapse of Xiangshui's defense line was naturally the result of Jie's own chaos.

The leader Wang Lang took the lead and tried his best to prevent the rioters from rushing across the Xiangshui River and spreading to the north of the city.However, he also had a lot of anxiety in his heart, worrying that the soldiers would consume too much energy in fighting against the rioters, and that they would be unable to fight again when the Jin army behind them really rushed forward.

So when he learned that Gongshi Shegui of Xiangcheng said that he was going to lead his troops to fight here, although he was full of doubts, he was also overjoyed.

Among the people he contacted last night, Gongshi Shegui of Xiangcheng is considered to have a stronger family. Although his power has been deprived, he is an elder and handsome man of the Jie tribe, with a fixed tribe of nearly a thousand people. Duke Xiangcheng can join in, and the pressure he will bear will be much less.

Wang Lang did not dare to be negligent regarding the coming strong assistance force. He personally withdrew his line and crossed the Xiangshui River from the pontoon bridge, and hurried forward to meet him. come.

If Wang Lang had been at the main entrance of Jiande Palace last night, he should have been keenly aware of the familiarity of this scene.But he was not lacking in anxiety at the moment, and he had just reached a certain degree of consensus with Shi Shegui last night, and he didn't think that Shi Shegui would change his mind in such a short period of time.

So when the two sides approached and Shi Shegui suddenly slashed at him with a big knife, Wang Lang's mind went blank for a moment, and he couldn't understand why Shi Shegui was like this.But from Shi Shegui's point of view, the balance of pros and cons is very clear. What Wang Lang said to him was either motivated by emotion or lured for profit, but whether it can be realized in the end is just a fantasy vision.

But now, the queen has made it clear that as long as he has enough means and ability, he can replace Wang Lang.Shi Shegui, even if he is not very shrewd, can choose which one to choose between a hope with an uncertain future and an opportunity that is at your fingertips right now.

"Under the order of His Majesty the Empress, I will immediately kill the traitors who have wronged the country! Don't be alarmed, the imperial guards, the empress is benevolent, and you will wait for the crime to make meritorious deeds. Follow me to kill the thieves!"

If Shi Shegui just killed Wang Lang, the consequences would actually be limited. After all, the soldiers on the front line are still struggling to deal with the impact of those rioters, and few people can notice the tragedy that just happened on the north bank of the river.

However, although this old man was old, he was not calm, and was too eager to declare his authority to create established facts. After beheading Wang Lang, he cut off his head and ordered his troops to pick up the pontoon bridge to inform the soldiers of the army.

Those soldiers were also exhausted right now, and it was even more unacceptable to hear that the general who was supervising their battle just now was directly beheaded, and the defense line collapsed in an instant.

On the other hand, the rioters on the south bank don't care much about the struggle for power among the high-level leaders of the Jie Kingdom. Once they notice that the front guard is loose, they will rush past, or embrace the wooden planks, or directly throw themselves into the Xiangshui River with their bare hands. , Swimming straight to the opposite bank.

Previously, Shi Shegui was only concerned about the situation in Jiande Palace, and he was hinted by Boling Gong Shi Zun that he would quickly take back the power of the imperial guards, but he did not expect that a group of rioters in the south of the city would cause such a big turmoil.

He is still reminiscing the pleasure of killing Wang Lang before, imagining the beautiful picture of himself taking over the power of the imperial guards, only thinking that the only thing that is not beautiful is to share this hard-won power with a few other people, but he did not expect that the imperial guards The line of defense collapsed immediately, and immediately a crowd of people who couldn't see the edge was rushing across Xiangshui.

For a moment Shi Shegui also panicked, and originally planned to order the public to clean up the situation, but after realizing that it was futile, he could only lead his troops to retreat in hatred, and then fled towards Jiande Palace.It's just that on the way back, he didn't forget to order his followers to yell and shout, so that the imperial guards would gather under the wall of Jiande Palace and stand by.

But in this chaotic scene with noisy voices, how many people can hear this order, and how many people can follow it, even Shi Shegui himself dare not be optimistic.Right now, he really felt like crying without tears even after he swallowed the bait and was pierced through the corner of his cheek by the fishhook.

It was also fortunate that the people had little restraint, and as soon as they broke through the barrier line of defense that Wang Lang had set up before, they began to flee in all directions, and did not organize to concentrate on attacking a certain place, so that Shi Shegui was able to survive intact. The Ministry returned to Jiande Palace.

But when I looked back and saw the crowds surging on the imperial street outside the Jiande Palace, where could I find so many figures of the imperial guards!

And these imperial guards from last night to now can also be said to be ill-fated. Although they are not the top elite fighters of the Jie Kingdom, they are also better organized and disciplined. They are the only ones that Xiang Kingdom can rely on at present. Reusable Armed Forces.

But since the chaos last night, they have fallen into absolute passivity, and have no chance and ability to display their combat effectiveness at all.On the other hand, under the order of the general Wang Lang, they gradually pulled out the mud and set up defenses on the banks of the Xiangshui River, and forcibly blocked the rioters, whose number was far more than ten times that of them, on the south bank of the Xiangshui River.

But who would have imagined that not long after such a scene, the main general Wang Lang would suddenly be cut behind them.These imperial guards really felt that they were about to collapse for a while, and coupled with the unstoppable impact of the rioters, they were already at a loss to the extreme at the moment. For a while, no one listened.

After all, Shi Shegui still overestimated his ability and prestige.Perhaps based on his qualifications, he is an old man with a good reputation among the Jie clan, but if he is released to the entire Jie country, he has been suppressed and idled for a long time, and even before being suppressed, he is not as good as Kui'an. A veteran figure who follows the Capricorn Lord.

Not to mention this inherently dangerous seizure of power in the formation, even in the usual peaceful season, suddenly a handful of old bones that were half buried in the ground were suddenly picked up to replace the leader Wang Lang who was in his prime. It also takes a transition period to gradually accept.As for right now, Shi Shegui wants to completely take over the power of the imperial guards with just a paper Yuanzhao, that is really whimsical.

For the elders and nobles of the Jie Kingdom who have already climbed to the top of the palace wall and took over the defense of the Jiande Palace, the roaring crowd formed by the rioters is only the first round of impact, and this round of impact has brought them The pressure is not great, even negligible.

After all, those people lack organization and live around Xiangguo all year round. The fear of Jiande Palace, which represents the authority of King Jie, is deeply rooted in their bones. Even if the order in Xiangguo city has completely collapsed, they have no courage , There is no reason to go straight to the palace defense.

So although there were many rioters, the palace walls stood still like a gust of wind, and those rioters had already scattered into the streets and lanes on the north bank of Xiangshui.As for how many people in the square will suffer in the future, the nobles of Jie Kingdom on the palace wall have no time to worry about it, because the second round of crisis is approaching.

At this moment, the sun was getting thinner, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, a few large banners with the word "Jin" fluttered in the wind, approaching the city of Xiangguo, naturally it was the people led by Fenwu Bing Wei Xu Wubing.Although Fenwu generals and soldiers only accounted for a small number of them, the private soldiers from various households in the south of the city swarmed behind them, plus the people in the city who were coerced or joined on their own initiative, there were thousands of them.

Although these thousands of people are also lacking in organization, those people in the front near the area of ​​the Fenwu soldiers can still maintain a basic formation posture.At this moment, they are embracing the Jin character banner, waving the staffs in their hands, and they are coming towards Jiande Palace in a menacing manner. For a while, there is quite a threat of an approaching army.

As for the elders of the Jie Kingdom on the top of the city, they were a little dumbfounded for a while when they saw such a powerful crowd approaching the palace city. Many people asked Ai Aifa, "Didn't it mean that the Jin army is weak, there are only a few hundred people and they are still in the palace?" Yuanliu fleeing? This, what is going on?"

No wonder these people have such doubts. They are idle people in the country. Even if they have any first-hand enemy military aircraft, they have no chance to get in touch with them.

Although the former leader Wang Lang also went to visit them one by one to lobby them, but the main reason was to persuade them to send out their own troops to settle the chaos, so that they would not hide out because of timidity, and all kinds of mentions about the Jin army's enemy situation were not mentioned. Many, more talk about the chaos of the palace ban.

What's more, even Wang Lang didn't know the details of the Jin army who broke into the city this time until his death.

So at this moment, seeing so many soldiers following the banner of the Jin army approaching Jiande Palace, the nobles on the wall, including the Fuguo Dingluan elders appointed by the empress before, were all dazed and caught in a panic. In a dazed panic.

"No, it's not the Jin army, it's not..."

But there are also many people with discernment who quickly discovered something unusual. These soldiers who approached the palace wall seemed to be numerous and aggressive, but when they watched carefully from a high position, they could still find that their ranks were disorganized and their equipment was rationed. They are also extremely poor. If the elite Jin army masters who have risen to the south and repeatedly defeated them are only so military-looking, then it is really a big joke.

After being reminded by this, more and more people noticed the strangeness, and their courage inevitably regained their courage. Afterwards, some people said angrily: "These thieves are really cowardly, they dare to take advantage of the danger of the enemy's invasion of the country and use the enemy's flag to intimidate the nobles of the royal capital!" , damn it!"

Since they are not well-trained and amazing Jin army masters, then these nobles are nothing to be afraid of.Even if they have been idle for a long time and have been out of the army for a long time, they have never let go of their deeds like bullying the weak and oppressing the common people, so people frequently ask for battle on the top of the city.

Xiangcheng Gongshi Shegui was still worried about where the guards he had just acquired were hit, and his mood was not very high. After hearing the call for battle from everyone, he assigned someone casually and said with a sneer: " It's good to go out of the palace to kill and intimidate, let these thieves know that I am a majestic king and should not be insulted!"

The person who was assigned was a young man with a male beard, probably he himself was unwilling to be alone, he was very excited about being able to take the lead in the battle under the eyes of everyone, so he went down the city wall immediately after receiving the order, and ordered more than two hundred of his own steps to walk out of the palace wall generously .

Although the number of others is not large, they are strong slaves raised by their own family all the year round, and their armor and equipment are all rationed neatly. It is easy to capture those mob thieves.

Seeing that the palace gate opened, a group of people and horses rushed out of it. At this moment, the formation formed by Chen Bing's crowd not far from the south of Jiande Palace was faintly agitated.

After all, not long ago, these people were just small people who obeyed the rule of the Jie Kingdom. Even if they gather all the people to serve as the master of the king, they have accumulated power for many years, and it is difficult to eliminate it for a while.Previously, there were soldiers fighting all the way to clear the way, and they were only facing some panicked people, but now they are going to face the army rushing out of the palace of Jie Kingdom, the fear that was suppressed earlier is out of control poured out.

However, the Fenwu soldiers at the forefront of the army didn't have a special reaction to this. Bing Wei Xu Wubing noticed that the surrounding situation suddenly became slightly more silent, and when he came out more and more, he said with a smile: "Fighting warriors! Go out first, set an example to the Hebei righteous men present, and kill the bandit army."

There are more than [-] warriors fighting this way, because they have been active in the chaotic environment in the south of the city, and most of them are still recuperating in the Liu's mansion, so the injuries can be ignored, and they all came out at this moment List.

Although there were not many people, but the orderly movements, the silent and solemn expression, and the well-organized and well-equipped armour, there was a sense of deterrence, and the disciples from various families in Xiangguo felt ashamed after seeing it. Feelings of pride emerged in Yu, and he wished he could replace it with his own body.

The palpitations and turmoil of these people had already fallen into the eyes of the nobles of Jie Kingdom who were watching on the city wall.At this moment, seeing that there are still people who dare to go out to fight against the enemy, they were surprised, then became angry, howling and urging the person who went out to kill these daring thieves as soon as possible.

To fight in this trilogy of Jie soldiers, because they are only private soldiers, they don't have much horsepower. In order to ensure the integrity of the formation, except for the powerful master, the rest are all on foot.Originally, the forward speed was not fast, but when he heard the noise from the top of the city, and saw that there were still people daring to come forward to fight at the moment, he was also very ashamed, so he shouted and ran to kill.

Especially the chief general, who originally had his own soldiers to lead the horse, but under the embarrassment and self-confidence, he simply threw off his subordinates and rushed the horse. With a shake of his arms, the horse straightened up and straightened Sprint to the opposite side.

The soldier Xu Wubing silently looked at the opposite side, when he saw that the enemy general had already charged, he raised his arm and drew down a bow behind his waist, this bow was temporarily used in Liu's house, at this moment Xu Wubing lightly tapped the bowstring, He just felt that it was too weak to be used, so he threw it on the ground, and then grabbed a saber that was just assembled by the side soldier and combined with a knife and a stick.

At this moment, the flying cavalry sprinting enemy general was less than five feet away from them, and they could even faintly hear the turbulent wind from the enemy general's impact.

Xu Wubing held two knives in his hands, and only then took a step forward, the distance between the two was even closer, he suddenly stamped his feet and let out a loud shout, like the sound of spring thunder, and the saber in his hand was wrapped in the momentum of the wind and thunder, and slashed straight at the enemy Cut away!

The enemy general narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could already see the picture of this lifeless villain about to be pierced by him, so the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and the lance trembled slightly, pointing to the blade of the long knife, ready to After taking advantage of the trend, he swung his lance and turned to the front to disembowel the fang.

However, when the weapons of both sides touched suddenly, Mo Dali rushed straight along the body of the lance towards the arms. When the pursuit force was a little too weak, instead of pulling away the knife, Ma Qiang slipped along the trend and then because of the huge impact from the blade, his arms trembled and he almost couldn't hold it, causing Ma Qiang to fly out.

"not good……"

The enemy general thought suddenly in his heart, but then suddenly he didn't know where he was.

But the spectators in the north and the south could see it clearly. They saw Xu Wubing swung the saber, but the opponent seemed to be sluggish. His posture on the horse's back tilted slightly, and he seemed to take the initiative to throw it towards the blade. .

With the power of a single knife, the enemy general flew off the horse's back, and the enemy general flying in the air, the broken armor on his body fell apart in the sweep, revealing a body that was almost chopped into two parts!

Xu Wubing's saber forcefully shook the enemy general who was rushing forward together, the impact on himself was not small, the ankle supporting his body sank suddenly, and he could only see it clearly when he was very close, although this general stood still He moved, but the ground he stepped on was flat with smoke and dust, and even his combat boots were a little bit off.

The horse that lost its owner was quickly dealt with by the rest of the fighting soldiers, and some even rushed forward, fitting themselves behind the commander's back, offsetting the impact with their ribs.

After a while, Xu Wubing's body swayed slightly, and then he took a step forward. He quickly slashed at the enemy general with the saber in his hand but it was spotless. He held it in his hand, pointed at the opposite Jiande Palace wall, and shouted: "General Standing on the platform, fighting soldiers, brave in hundreds of battles, the courage of the non-champions among thieves, unbearable in a single battle! If there are warriors, come to fight immediately! Otherwise, you will suffer death!"
