Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 172 Chongzhen: A Yongchen Misunderstood Me!
Seeing the three paper figurines two feet away as one, Lu Zhen's heart sank. Although he has the magic of shrinking the ground to an inch, it also has a flaw, that is, there will be a very short period of stiffness after casting, and the movement The greater the distance, the longer the stiffness.

Within three feet, with his speed, he can still react and forcibly restore this stiffness, but if it exceeds three feet, he can't react. With the current situation, even an instant of stiffness is enough for Su Hao. Turned him into a hedgehog.

As for escaping from the air, it is more courting death. The scene of Su Hao shooting and killing other people is still vivid in his memory. In mid-air, he is a living target.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen couldn't help being a little scared. What kind of monster is this Su Hao? Although it is shocking to become a master of martial arts at the age of 20 and comprehend artistic conception, it is not unprecedented in history. After all, there are thousands of people in the world, and it is not impossible for any genius to appear. .

But Su Hao is far beyond the category of genius. Although the three cultivation methods of Martial Dao, Zuo Dao and Primordial Spirit overlap each other, they are completely different in essence. Now Su Hao is very good at these three different cultivation methods. They've all gone a long way.

If Su Hao is an old monster who has lived for more than 100 years, it can be explained, but now Su Hao is only 20 years old, even if he started to practice in the womb, he has been practicing non-stop, it is impossible for him to have such strength.

Lu Zhen was still thinking wildly. At this time, Su Hao's calm voice sounded again: "Eunuch Lu, I advise you to submit to me. For the sake of Eunuch Wei, I will not treat you badly."

"Eunuch Wei?"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Lu Zhen sneered and said, "You still have the nerve to mention Eunuch Wei. If it wasn't for you, why would all the Jinyi Guards in the world be hunting for Eunuch Wei?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhen sighed slightly. Although he had not been with Wei Zhongxian for a long time, Wei Zhongxian had given him a lot of benefits in the past few years. It is a pity that Zhu Youxiao died too suddenly and Wei Zhongxian fell too fast. In a few years, he will be able to scrape together enough resources to exchange for Dragon and Tiger Golden Pills.

But for Wei Zhongxian, he is still extremely grateful. His savings in the previous 70 years were far less than [-]% of the treasures Wei Zhongxian gave him. These treasures brought him one step closer to the innate realm. There are not many things to pursue.

After all, at his level, he didn't care much about gold, silver and jewelry. The reason why he collected these things was just to make his martial arts level go further.

"Hunt?"

Hearing this, Su Hao shook his head and said, "Then they can only go to the underworld to find it."

"Eunuch Wei is dead?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhen couldn't help frowning, but then he let go. In the past six months, Jin Yiwei everywhere has not found a trace of Wei Zhongxian, and it is not impossible to die.

"I collected the corpse for Eunuch Wei."

Su Hao said calmly: "He committed suicide."

Lu Zhen was silent. Although he had been in the deep palace all the time, he had also heard that Zhu Youjian wanted to kill Wei Zhongxian and wipe out the roots.

...

On the other side, on the street, hundreds of soldiers in armor blocked all sides of the street, and the street was surrounded by huge fishnets, all kinds of small sharp blades were wrapped around the fishnets, and the blades shone with a strange blue color. Quenched the poison.

In addition, on the city wall, there were hundreds of archers with their bows and arrows, as well as a large number of crossbow carts and hand crossbows. On the roofs of the houses, there were also soldiers holding firecrackers waiting for them.

Not far away, Tang Xiangjin and others also looked dignified. For this siege, they also exhausted their efforts. Except for some weapons that could not be used, everything else that could be used was used, and the residents behind the city wall had been evacuated long ago. In order to prevent riots from being used by Yang Guodong and the others.

"Mr. Yang, what should we do?"

Yin Chen said in a deep voice: "If we don't withdraw first, we will suffer too much if we continue to entangle here."

Although they are all wearing soft armor, coupled with the protective air film of first-class warriors, it is difficult for ordinary bows and firecrackers to threaten them, but things such as strong crossbows and ballistas are enough to threaten them, and rebel masters often They can't last too long, after all, their internal strength is limited.

"Find those Hongyi cannons first!"

Hearing this, Yang Guodong gritted his teeth and said, now that he has escaped, the previous sacrifices will be in vain, and if they can't destroy those Hongyi cannons this time, they will have to come again, and the next time they will have to pay a higher price.

"How to find it?"

Yin Chen frowned and said, "There is a phantom array on the city wall, and Eunuch Lu doesn't know if he killed the person who set up the array."

"Those cannons are most likely not on the city walls."

Yang Guodong said in a deep voice: "However, each of those Hongyi cannons is one foot long and weighs two to three thousand catties. Even if they are transferred to the city, at most they will only be around the city wall. Look for those big houses!"

"kill!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Guodong rushed out first, towards a big house near the city gate, followed by Yin Chen and others.

Whoosh!Whoosh!boom!boom!
The next moment, countless long arrows and crossbow arrows shot towards Yang Guodong and the others, the firecrackers fired, and iron ball bullets were shot out at the same time.

Ding!Ding!clang!clang!
Yin Chen and others stimulated their internal force to form a protective air film. When the bows and arrows and iron beads shot on the protective air film, they could only make some tinkling sounds, and then fell powerlessly. pick fly.

"what!"

At this time, there was a scream, and the chest of a first- and second-rate warrior was pierced by a long arrow, and the feathers of the long arrow were still trembling.

On the city wall, the bowstring in Tang Xiangjin's hand was still trembling, and he took out a long arrow and put it on the bowstring again, this time aiming at Yin Chen.

Realizing that Tang Xiangjin had aimed the arrow at him, Yin Chen's scalp went numb instantly, and all his attention was focused on Tang Xiangjin.

But at the next moment, three long arrows shot at Yin Chen at a terrifying speed. The three long arrows formed a lore momentum, blocking all Yin Chen's escape routes. The ones who shot the arrows were Yang Bao, Tian Ming, Hao Yi and three people.

At the same time, Tang Xiangjin also let go of his hand, and the long arrow shot at Yin Chen at an extremely fast speed, pointing directly at his vitals.

Sensing the deadly killing intent that had completely engulfed him, Yin Chen expressed despair. Although he was not weak, the person who shot was also a first-rate warrior. In this kind of place, once injured, it was tantamount to being sentenced to death.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yin Chen, and two black maces knocked away the long arrows shot by Yang Bao and the others, and shouldered the long arrows shot by Tang Xiangjin.

It was Yang Guodong who shot!

"Thank you Zongbing Yang for saving your life."

Seeing that Yang Guodong blocked the attack for him, Yin Chen said hastily, and at the same time swung his knife and chopped off several crossbow arrows.

"Enter the house!"

Yang Guodong broke the arrow on his shoulder with a blank expression. They were too disadvantaged outside. The ubiquitous bows, crossbows, and firecrackers made them unable to concentrate on defending against the cold arrows of the opponent's master.

Hearing Yang Guodong's words, the soldiers on the side rushed to the house on the side, punched the door open, and more than 20 people filed in.

On the city wall, watching Yang Guodong and others hide in the house, Tang Xiangjin's mouth slightly raised, the fish was hooked!

He has arranged for such a long time, so naturally he will not miss these houses. After all, hiding in the houses, the crossbowmen and crossbows he arranged will be useless, but he has already buried nearly five thousand catties of gunpowder in those houses. Just wait for Yang Guodong and the others to go in.

"Send the order down, shrink the encirclement, block all intersections, and don't let them run away."

Tang Xiangjin ordered.

Soon, thousands of soldiers surrounded the house where Yang Guodong and others were.

In the house, Yang Guodong tapped the acupoints, stopped the bleeding from the wound, and then said in a deep voice: "I can't go outside, the other party will definitely set up traps in these houses, everyone be careful."

I didn't go into the house before because I was worried that there would be traps in the house, but now it's too dangerous to go outside. The twenty or so of them couldn't resist the overwhelming attacks and the ubiquitous cold arrows, especially the cold arrows. There are few, but the strength is not weak, and the cold arrow shot can kill them at any time.

"Stay vigilant and keep going!"

After Yang Guodong finished speaking, he walked up to a wall and slammed into it, directly knocking out a big hole in the wall.

A group of people saw walls breaking through walls and people killing people along the way. They searched and moved forward one by one. Once there were too many enemies, they would change directions to avoid being entangled.

On the city wall, Tang Xiangjin commanded with a command flag, watching Yang Guodong and others being forced to move towards the trap step by step, with a trace of excitement in his eyes. Although the intuition of first-class warriors is very sensitive, in such a place full of dangers, there is no need to May be sensitive to where the danger comes from.

"Mr. Yang, there are more and more soldiers surrounding us. Do you want to retreat to a safe place before making any plans?"

Yin Chen looked solemn. Although entering the house would allow them to avoid the ballista coins and crossbows on the city wall, as well as the sneak attacks of the opponent's masters, but keeping hiding would prevent them from knowing where the opponent's soldiers and horses were going. If they plunged into the opponent's trap , then there must be heavy casualties.

"this…"

Hearing Yin Chen's words, Yang Guodong also hesitated a little. Although destroying those Hongyi cannons is very important, if they all collapse here, the 10,000+ army outside the city will be finished.

boom!boom!boom!
Just when Yang Guodong was late, a series of explosions suddenly resounded through the sky, and the whole Dongchang Mansion seemed to be trembling, endless smoke and dust covered the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud!
Immediately afterwards, countless bows and arrows, firecrackers, ballistas, and crossbows shot at the smoke and dust at the same time, and the rain of arrows almost covered the sunlight.

When the smoke and dust cleared, more than ten houses in the center of the explosion were razed to the ground. Yang Guodong and others had only a dozen people still standing, and almost everyone was injured.

"kill!"

Tang Xiangjin waved the flag in his hand, and the soldiers approached Yang Guodong and others one after another.

...

On the other side, the huge explosion also alarmed Su Hao and Lu Zhen.

Seeing the huge mushroom cloud rising not far away, the corners of Su Hao's mouth slightly raised. He knew that Tang Xiangjin and the others had succeeded.

But Lu Zhen's heart sank, Yang Guodong and the others couldn't do such a big commotion, which meant that it was very likely that Yang Guodong and the others had fallen into a trap.

"Eunuch Lu, I don't know how you think about it?"

Su Hao turned his head to look at Lu Zhen. Now that Tang Xiangjin and the others have settled the situation, Tang Xiangjin and the others will come to support them in a short time. If Lu Zhen still doesn't know what to do, then there is no need for him to keep Lu Zhen.

Sensing the hint of impatience in Su Hao's words, Lu Zhen's heart sank. He was delaying time with Su Hao before, and planned to run away with them after Lu Zhen and the others destroyed those red cannons. Now it seems , Lu Zhen and the others are really finished.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen quietly stretched his hand to his waist.

"kill!"

Su Hao, who had been staring at Lu Zhen, noticed Lu Zhen's small movements. With a thought, the three natal paper figurines immediately surrounded and killed him.

"Imperial order! Thunder comes!"

Seeing the three paper figurines rushing forward, four talismans appeared in Lu Zhen's hand, and the talismans were thrown out at the same time.

Danger!

Danger!

The moment Lu Zhen threw the magic talisman, Su Hao's intuition was frantically warning him, and he recognized it. It was the Five Thunder Talisman of Longhu Mountain. The paper armor emerged, and the internal force was crazily released, forming a three-foot line. The air wall, the pure yang artistic conception of the most rigid and yang, merged into the air wall, and the air wall was instantly radiant, with an extra aura of indestructible diamond.

Su Hao just finished these, the next moment, the sky is thunderbolt!

Four bolts of lightning suddenly struck towards Su Hao and the three natal paper figurines!
The moment the thunder and lightning fell, Su Hao only felt that the sky and the earth were filled with the light of lightning. The three-foot wall of air melted under the thunder and lightning like accumulated snow meeting the scorching sun, bit by bit!
Su Hao didn't dare to be careless, he released a steady stream of internal energy crazily to make up for the consumption of the air wall. On the other side, the three natal paper figurines were also knocked to the ground by lightning.

As for Lu Zhen, after throwing the magic talisman, he shrank the ground into an inch immediately and fled towards the outside of the city.

But the next moment, an armored paper man stopped in front of Lu Zhen, and chopped it down with a single knife!

Seeing this, Lu Zhen could only raise his soft sword to resist, but facing the sword intent, the internal force in the soft sword was instantly defeated.

Kicking the armored paper figurine away, Lu Zhen's figure flickered, and he had already appeared on the edge of the city wall.

At this moment, a long whip of Yuanshen was drawn, and it was drawn on Lu Zhen's body with lightning speed.

At this moment, Lu Zhen felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he was instantly confused. The next moment, Lu Zhen's body shook violently, and three blood holes appeared.

It was the long arrow thrown by Su Hao that pierced him!
And Lu Zhen was also driven away by this force, and fell headlong towards the city wall.

Halfway through the fall, Lu Zhen finally came to his senses, endured the severe pain, and disappeared on the ground the moment he touched the ground.

When Su Hao chased to the city wall, he had already lost Lu Zhen's figure.

run away?

Looking at the empty ground, Su Hao frowned. These strong men in the palace are really difficult to deal with. He thought that they were sure of everything, but unexpectedly let Lu Zhen run away.

When he came to the side of the three natal paper figurines, he squatted down and inspected them carefully. After a while, Su Hao shrunk the three natal paper figurines back into his sleeves. Under the lightning just now, many of the magic patterns on the three natal paper figurines were obliterated. , if you want to restore it, you must re-engrav it.

...

A quarter of an hour later, Tang Xiangjin and the others rushed over anxiously.

Looking at Tang Xiangjin and others who looked anxious, Su Hao calmly asked, "How's the situation there?"

"Back to Qianhu, eight people were captured alive, and the rest have been killed."

Glancing at Su Hao who was spotless all over his body, Tang Xiangjin's face showed a strange color. Although he knew that Su Hao's strength was unfathomable, he only knew from the captive just now that the eunuch wearing eunuch costume He was actually a master of both martial arts and martial arts, so they rushed here in a hurry, but they didn't expect that the other party could not even make Su Hao's body stained with dust.

"The masters of the imperial army are basically here now. It is the best time to defeat the imperial army. Do you have any spare energy?"

After thinking for a while, Su Hao asked, although they had the right time, place and people, the court had more masters than Tang Xiangjin and the others. After a big battle, Tang Xiangjin and the others might not be able to retain much internal strength.

"Qianhu, we can still fight!"

Tang Xiangjin and the others responded one after another. They were just shooting cold arrows most of the time just now, and their internal strength was not lost much.

"In that case, let's go out of the city and fight!"

Hearing that, Su Hao is categorical. Although there must still be some masters in the imperial army, they should not be many. After all, there are nearly 30 first-rate warriors and more than 30 second-rate warriors who came here this time.

The masters of the imperial court are not Chinese cabbage, and in addition to the constant battles over the years, they have also lost a lot, and there are still many who have been transferred to Liaodong and Guizhou to deal with the Jurchens and An Bangyan. This time they can mobilize three or four It would be good for ten first-class fighters to deal with him.

Now nearly 20 people have been lost, and only ten first-class warriors who were seriously injured by him on the lake escaped back. However, the arrows he shot all contained sword intent, and these ten people basically did not have much combat power. There should not be many masters.

"Yes!"

After Tang Xiangjin and others responded, they went down to arrange soldiers, and at the same time, they asked people to remove the sand and stones blocking the enemy's siege behind the city gate.

...

On the battlefield at this time, the guards attacking the city had all fled back to the canal, without siege equipment, and trying to capture Dongchangfu City with only manpower was completely suicidal, even if the supervisory team in the rear had already Killed hundreds of guard soldiers who fled back, but still couldn't stop the fleeing guard soldiers.

But now Wang Congyi can't take care of these guards anymore, because Lu Zhen, whom he had placed high hopes on, escaped back with a terrible injury, and blood was dripping drop by drop from three transparent blood holes. .

"Eunuch Lu, what's going on?"

Looking at the pale-faced Lu Zhen, Wang Congyi hurriedly said, "How are Zongbing Yang and the others?"

"They've been caught in a trap and probably won't come back."

Lu Zhen said weakly: "Our family needs to find a place to heal the wound, and Governor Wang will arrange it by himself."

While speaking, he did not forget to mobilize the internal force in his body to continuously wash away the saber intent on the wound. Although Su Hao's three long arrows pierced his lungs and liver, to him, the arrow wound was nothing. Supported by internal force, the arrow wound is not fatal, what really kills him is the saber intent at the wound, the three saber intents make it difficult to stop the bleeding from his wound.

If there is too much blood flow, he will die, and the acupoints cannot be sealed all the time, otherwise he will die if there is no blood supply near the wound, so he can only wipe out the knife intent as much as possible first, and then stop the bleeding and heal the wound.

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhen turned and left, leaving only Wang Congyi sluggishly in place.

Finished!

It's all over!
After a long time, Wang Congyi recovered from his sluggishness, his face was full of despair, and he slowly stretched out his hand to his own sword. Those people led by Yang Guodong were the most masters in the army. It is impossible for dozens of second-rate warriors to stop the rebels.

.........

Not long after, the gates of the city were opened wide, and the drums of war were thundering.

"rush!"

"rush!"

Accompanied by roars, Tang Xiangjin and others all wore heavy armor weighing two hundred catties, and rushed to the front with their own soldiers.

Along the flying bridge built when the imperial army attacked, Tang Xiangjin and other soldiers split apart, like a sharp arrow shooting at the soldiers of the guards by the canal. But rushed out of the momentum of a hundred thousand troops.

The soldiers of the guard who had lost their morale due to the frustration of the siege were thrown into a mess when they saw Tang Xiangjin and others rushing like tigers.

"Meet the enemy!"

"Meet the enemy!"

Thousands of households in a guard roared loudly, and then led dozens of soldiers to stand in front of Tang Xiangjin, Yang Bao, and Tian Ming.

It's a pity that courage can't make up for the gap in strength. No matter how strong a guard is, Qianhu can't be the opponent of Tang Xiangjin and the three of them. He was killed by the three of them on the spot in just two rounds!

In the sky, Su Hao rode a paper bird overlooking the battlefield. There were no experts of the same level to block him. Tang Xiangjin and others were as powerful as a bamboo. Wherever they passed, it was like entering a land of no one. The soldiers of the guards fled one after another.

Su Hao is not surprised by this result. In this world with practitioners, when two armies are at war, it is difficult for an individual to decide the direction of the war, even for him, but the army cannot lack masters. If Yang Guodong and the others are still there, Tang Xiangjin There's no way they're going on such a rampage.

It's a pity that if there is no if, without the masters like Yang Guodong and the others, the outcome of this war has long been doomed.

As the sun gradually set in the west, the entire battlefield also gradually calmed down.

...

Dongchang Mansion, government office.

"Qianhu, the imperial army outside the city has been completely defeated by us. More than [-] soldiers surrendered, and the others fled without a trace. Shandong Governor Wang Congyi committed suicide."

Tang Xiangjin clasped his hands and said, "Another 60 shi of grain was seized, and countless other materials are still being sorted out."

"Since Wang Congyi committed suicide, let's give him a proper burial."

Hearing this, Su Hao waved his hands and said, Wang Congyi's suicide was also within his expectation. Although the imperial court has declined a bit, its power is still huge.

Even if he wins this time, in the eyes of Wang Congyi and the others, it is still just scabies. As long as the court slows down, he will be destroyed by the court at any time, so even if they commit suicide, they cannot surrender. Cut, they still know how to choose.

...

On the other side, at this time, some of the guard soldiers who had fled had already fled to Linqing Prefecture. When they learned from the rout soldiers that the imperial army had been defeated, the officials in charge of guarding Linqing Prefecture quickly sent someone to send an emergency report to Beijing, and at the same time summoned all the soldiers and horses Defend the state city.

.........

The capital, the imperial palace.

When the cabinet was on duty, Qian Longxi looked relaxed and at ease. Since the canal was opened and the water transportation resumed, Zhu Youjian's attitude towards them has improved a lot. To reward.

At this time, Han Yu suddenly ran in with a notebook, his face was full of panic.

"Brother Han, what's the matter?"

Seeing Han Yu's expression, Qian Longxi asked quickly.

"Something happened!"

Han Yu said in horror: "Wang Congyi was defeated by the rebels. The 14 army was wiped out, and only a few soldiers fled to Linqing Prefecture."

Hearing Han Yu's words, Qian Longxi froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"Go and see Your Majesty!"

After regaining consciousness, Qian Longxi said in a hurry, and then pulled Li Biao, Zhou Daodeng, and Liu Hongxun together and hurried towards Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace.

Seeing the urgent report handed over by Han Yu, Zhu Youjian's face turned pale, and he could barely sit still.

"Yong Chen misunderstood me!"

A moment later, Zhu Youjian let out a mournful cry, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, which stained the emergency newspaper and the tabletop red, and then he collapsed on the desk.

"My lord!"

Seeing this, Wang Chengen quickly helped Zhu Youjian up, and screamed, "Send the imperial doctor quickly! Send the imperial doctor quickly!"

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Han Yu and the others quickly surrounded him.

Not long after, the imperial doctor hurried to Qianqing Palace, and after giving Zhu Youjian an injection, Zhu Youjian slowly opened his eyes.
