Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 138 The Call to Change the Battle Situation (14)

On the silent long street.

Because of the martial law in the city, except for some people with status and status, ordinary people can no longer easily leave their homes and go outside.If he was caught, he would probably be regarded as a spy of the Bei'an Army and taken away directly.

Especially in the south of the city, there are a large number of princes and nobles living here, and the level of martial law is higher.But this is only for ordinary people. For martial arts masters, this martial law is almost useless.

Outside the gate of the Zhao family mansion, on the side of the avenue leading to the imperial palace, there was a person hiding in the shadow behind a restaurant, another person hiding on the roof, and another person hiding in an unremarkable weed cart by the side of the road. in the haystack.

They are the killers of Spider A, A[-], A[-], A[-], and A[-].

Except for the special case of Jiayi, and the traitor Jiawu, all the other killers of the "A" name who are still alive have come.

They have only one purpose, to assassinate Empress Zhaomei who has returned to the palace.

In fact, they didn't know who the assassination target was. What Jiayi told them was to assassinate the person in the sedan chair.As for who is inside, they don't know and don't care.

As killers who were adopted and trained by Fu Chengyang, they only knew how to complete the tasks assigned by Fu Chengyang.As for those like Jia Wu who had rich experience and finally chose to betray, it was completely a special case.

If it wasn't for Fu Chengyang's permission, several people would still want to get rid of Jiawu and clean up the house.Of course Fu Chengyang also wanted Jiawu to die, but since Jiasan also folded in, he knew that Su Yuan had masters, and he would not send people to die needlessly.

"crunch, crunch, crunch..."

The sound of wheels sounded, and at the end of the long street, a large sedan chair appeared.

Pulled by four white horses, the sedan chair made of high-quality wood is not usable by ordinary people at first glance.Looking at the shiny yellow curtain, you can be sure that it is a royal sedan chair. No matter how rich other people are, they dare not use the shiny yellow color represented by the emperor.

The target appeared, and several assassins of No. [-] were ready to attack.

They clenched the weapons in their hands, held their breath, and waited for the sedan chair to approach before launching their strongest blows, and they must take the life of the person inside the sedan chair in the fastest way.

The sedan chair was getting closer and closer, and it was about to enter the attack range of several people.

At this time, a figure quickly approached from a distance, and a whistle sounded like a bird's song.

This whistle is a secret signal within the spider organization. When it sounds, the current operation must be suspended urgently!
However, when the whistle sounded, the sedan chair had already entered the attack range of several people.

For a moment, the two shots came to an emergency stop.The other two shot quickly, but in sync with the whistle, they had already rushed out and rushed towards the sedan chair!
"Damn!"

The approaching figure let out a low cry, it's still a step too late!
He is also a member of the spider organization, responsible for some of the organization's overall planning and logistics.Not long ago, he suddenly received a message - Empress Zhaomei did not leave the palace alone, Emperor Qingxiang came out with her!

This means that there is not only the queen in the sedan chair, but also the emperor!

This news almost scared him out of his wits, to assassinate the emperor?This is something that even Fu Chengyang, the founder of the organization, dare not do!If you really want to do that, no matter if it succeeds or not, the entire spider organization will undoubtedly usher in a catastrophe.

It's just that what he doesn't understand is why there is no news from the palace?

What does Yu Hu eat?How did those little eunuchs act as eyeliners?Why do you need information from the people who are lurking in the Zhao family?

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have any fantasies either. He could only hope that he could stop the assassination in time.

result……

Jia Er and Jia Si are already in the air at this moment, one is using a long whip, the other is using a dart, even if they heard the whistle, it is too late to stop.

Asi's dart made of fine steel has already been thrown, flying towards the sedan chair with a piercing sound of wind!A's second-hand middle whip is also drawn.

"when!"

With a crisp sound, the dart was blocked by an arm.

I saw a person covered in black armor quietly appearing in front of the sedan chair, like a ghost, and no one knew where he was hiding.

The man blocked the dart, grabbed the tail of the whip with one hand, and pulled it hard, Jia Er fell down immediately, before he could use his internal force in time, he was punched to death by the armored man.

Afterwards, the armored man jumped up, and Asi felt blurred in front of his eyes, without any room to react. His chest shook and he lost consciousness. When he fell to the ground, a blood hole appeared in his heart.

The other three were shocked. The mysterious armored man moved so fast that it was unimaginable. They hurried to retreat, but it was too late.

The armored man's strikes were like lightning, his body was like the wind, and he killed several first-class killers in an instant.

The number one killers in the spider organization, who were notoriously vicious, were completely vulnerable in front of the armored man, like toys.

At this time, the sedan chair had already stopped, the curtain was pulled open, and Emperor Qingxiang poked his head out with a gloomy face, looked at the corpse on the ground and sneered: "Okay, I've been assassinated on my head!"

Pfft!
After casually killing several A-brand killers, the man in armor caught the person who came to inform the assassination to stop, abolished his martial arts, and threw him in front of the sedan chair.

Emperor Qingxiang stared at him coldly, and Empress Zhaomei sat aside, trembling with fear.

How could she not have imagined that this was her sedan chair, and there was no doubt that this assassin came after her.

If it wasn't for Emperor Qingxiang who happened to be there, protected by the dragon guards, then she might be a corpse now, right?
"I really think I'm getting old! You don't take me seriously anymore? Well, let's see how I deal with you rebels!"

Emperor Qingxiang was furious. He was still angry because of those letters, and when he was assassinated again, his anger had exceeded the critical point.

The emperor was assassinated, and soon a large number of officers, soldiers, and guards arrived. They tied up the living one. Emperor Qingxiang ordered him to be taken to the palace. He wanted to interrogate himself to see who was so bold.

After the crowd had left, Jia Yi walked out slowly from an alley, waving a folding fan.

He looked at the bloodstains left on the ground, and said with a half-smile: "Master Fu, your sweet dream has come to an end. The only thing left is a nightmare. I warned you a long time ago, but it's a pity that you didn't listen..."

After talking to himself, he looked towards the east.

"I should also find a boat and prepare to leave, so as to save everyone from scrambling to escape in a few days, and it will be too crowded."

He shook his fan lightly, as if everything was under his control.

And in fact, it is.

If he hadn't blocked the source of news in the palace, the assassination would have stopped long ago.

But why didn't he stop it? Anyway, Fu Chengyang has no more to sing.

People who are already on the edge of the cliff, by the way, push from behind, that kind of feeling is what Jia Yi likes.

Royal Palace.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Qingxiang interrogated urgently, and under the operation of Jiayi, he got news from Minister Li that many people in the palace were related to Fu Chengyang.Including guards with swords headed by Yu Hu, as well as many eunuchs and court ladies.

In a rage, Emperor Qingxiang ordered them all to be beheaded.

All this happened very quickly. After reading those letters, he already wished to get rid of Fu Chengyang immediately, and he even became hostile to the Gongsun family.

Who knows how far the Gongsun family has colluded with Fu Chengyang?And his son Zhou Chong, if Fu Chengyang has been supporting him, then...

Emperor Qingxiang acted resolutely, and immediately ordered the palace to be closed, and people were not allowed to enter or leave at will, so as not to leak any news.Then he sent a large number of guards to destroy the spider base and arrest its members according to Jiayi's intelligence.

Finally, he asked a young eunuch to go to Fu Chengyang and told him to get Su Yuan's head back in three days, otherwise he would die.

Emperor Qingxiang wanted to squeeze Fu Chengyang a little bit, and let him die.

He knew that Fu Chengyang was very powerful, so if he wanted to take him directly, he might not be able to hold him, and he might even let him go away.Then it's better to give him a death order and let him have to complete it.

In this way, as long as Fu Chengyang is reluctant to part with the imperial court, he will definitely go all out to complete this task...and he will definitely be reluctant.

Emperor Qingxiang may be stupid in other aspects, but not in this aspect alone.

He knew that Fu Chengyang would never give up everything he already had.

Soon, Fu Chengyang, who was on the city wall, received the written order, and he couldn't believe the content.

"Killing Su Yuan within three days, this..."

After Li Gui knew the contents of the handbook, he said to him: "It seems that His Majesty trusts you very much."

"..."

This is trust?

Fu Chengyang didn't care about Li Gui's sarcasm, so he immediately sent someone to investigate the situation, but the person he sent didn't come back.

Only then did he realize that something must have happened.

The assassination failed?
He vaguely realized that something was wrong, thinking of Jiayi's sarcastic eyes before, there must be a big problem.

There was an ominous premonition in his heart, Fu Chengyang was determined to investigate in person at night!
……

Inside the Bei'an military camp.

Su Yuan held a soldier talisman and made a new summon.

The last time Li Yuanba was summoned was already a pleasant surprise, so he lowered his expectations a little this time.

Judging from the lottery mode, the probability of successive "good arms" is not high.

Especially the rare military generals, which are hard to come by.

He kept his expectations to a minimum this time, as long as it came in handy, he was satisfied.

"call."

The soldier talisman was shining brightly. As he expected, there was no portrait in the light curtain this time, which meant it was a regular summon.

Soon, the results appeared.

[Successful Summoning: Get [-] Giant Crossbow Battalions]

Giant crossbow battalion?
When Su Yuan saw the information, he felt it was a little strange at first, but after reading the details, he fully understood it.

【Giant Crossbow Camp】

[Main Battle Type: Positional Attack and Defense]

[Equipment: Three hundred three-bow and eight-ox crossbows]

[Quantity: 3000 crossbowmen]

[Remarks: "Hundreds of people bring strength together, while the middle one can penetrate the belly of a horse and wear heavy armor"]

……

"Three bows and eight bull crossbows? Isn't this..."

Su Yuan saw what was in the equipment. He remembered that he had seen it in a history book before, and it seemed to be an ancient super bed crossbow.

This kind of bed crossbow is extremely heavy, with two front and one rear, equipped with three cowhide bows, so as to achieve huge tension.The crossbow arm is made of composite materials such as bamboo wood and horn, which makes the crossbow arm both elastic and extremely strong.The rear end of the ballista is also equipped with a watch mountain, marked with a scale, for aiming.

It can be called an ancient "anti-tank gun".

This thing is powerful and has a long range, the longest range is more than a kilometer, but because of its heavy weight, and every time an arrow is shot, the twisting shaft must be rotated to tighten the bowstring.This in itself requires huge strength, which is also the origin of the name "eight cows", which means that eight cows can pull the twisted shaft to store energy.

Converted to human strength, it would take dozens or even hundreds of people to take turns to pull the crossbow before it could charge the crossbow and let it fire an arrow.

It is conceivable how powerful such an arrow will be. It can still penetrate heavy armor and penetrate the belly of a horse at a distance of a thousand meters. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an "ancient anti-tank gun".

"And there are three hundred crossbows in this bed..."

Looking at the quantity in the equipment, Su Yuan felt that he was almost too happy.

This is much more delicious than the one hundred catapults he summoned before!
Three hundred beds of crossbows, plus three thousand soldiers responsible for turning the shafts, constituted the giant crossbow battalion summoned this time.

Su Yuan almost wanted to use them to attack the city immediately!

The range of this crossbow is more than a thousand meters, and the large crossbow box can be loaded with "large-caliber bows and arrows", and the so-called large-caliber bows and arrows are undoubtedly giant guns.

"Shooting an arrow like this... As long as you shoot it accurately, even the bow tower will have to be pierced..." Su Yuan was very excited, "Three hundred bed crossbows, how many people will die on the city wall? How many people are bad?"

"If used properly, with Li Yuanba breaking the door, breaking through the capital overnight... is completely feasible!"

Su Yuan clapped his hands together, he went outside and summoned a bed crossbow, and then brought Zhao Yun and Zhou Shu to watch.

Zhao Yun would not be surprised, as a summoned character, he would not be surprised by Su Yuan's other summoned objects.Zhou Shu is different, she has been with Su Yuan from Taiyuan, and she has never seen such a big bed crossbow in the army.

In particular, there were no wheels under the bed crossbow, so to move it, one had to get a big trailer, put the bed crossbow on it, and be pulled forward by horses... She had never seen any of this before.

"This thing..." Zhou Shu looked up at Su Yuan with a confused face. The latter stretched out three fingers and said with a smile, "There are three hundred in total, enough to break the city!"

"..."

Rao Zhou Shu had doubts about Su Yuan's strange ability, and when he heard this number, he still showed an expression that you are really not kidding me.

Zhao Yun said calmly: "My lord, with three hundred such huge crossbows, it can completely suppress the defenders at the top of the city!"

Suppression is already taken lightly. Three hundred giant guns are shot out, and it is estimated that all the bow towers on the city wall will be smashed, causing at least hundreds of thousands of casualties.And the most terrifying thing about it is that it will cause huge psychological pressure on the enemy. Who would not be afraid to see their comrades being pierced by a giant gun?
"Yes." Su Yuan nodded, "In this case, we will make preparations for a day and launch an attack tomorrow night."

Originally, his plan was to delay for a few more days, or to defeat the coming Qinzhou Corps first.But as the saying goes, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, since he summoned something that can change the situation of the battle, why not use it?
"The last general takes orders!" Zhao Yun went forward to make preparations.

Zhou Shu looked at Su Yuan, who knew what she was thinking, and said proactively, "You're curious about my secret, aren't you?"

"...Yes." Zhou Shu admitted, "This bed crossbow, the prince had never owned it before, otherwise he would have made a siege plan around it. This can only mean that the prince suddenly possessed it."

She is a smart person, it is impossible not to think of this.

Su Yuan also knew that unless there was no real person around him and he only had to call soldiers, his secrets would sooner or later be guessed by smart people.

But guessing can only be a superficial guess, but the essence cannot be guessed.

Su Yuandao: "Zhou Shu, you have heard of it before, some people say that I know 'witchcraft'."

"Ah."

It's not just witchcraft, Zhou Shu thought to herself, when she was in the palace before, she heard people say that Su Yuan is actually not a human, but a monster.

"They're right." Su Yuan said, "But it's not a black art, but a strange art. Just treat me as a strange man who knows some strange arts."

"Anomaly..."
