People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 259

Under the moonlight, the peak stands tall.

Li Xuan was riding on a tall black horse, holding a long lance in her hand, dressed in black and armor, and looked down at the manor below the mountain with cold eyes.

Behind them are two neat squads of thousands of bull knights in a strict array, each in red and gold armor, holding a knife handle, with a murderous aura.

After waiting for Li Xuan's order, he can charge down.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind.

Immediately, two more teams, wearing gray leather armor, carrying longbows, and holding horizontal knives, rushed straight up from the back of the mountain, breathing quickly, but still firmly stopped behind Li Xuan. Orderly rows.

The leader, Zhou Shen, who was wearing red clothes and gold armor, immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Fu Zhou Shen, come here by order."

"En!" Immediately, Li Xuan nodded calmly, then pointed down indifferently, and said calmly: "Take people down, and stand with the arresting officers of the Hangzhou government, and then wait for the order to burn the village with rockets. "

"Here!" Zhou Shen immediately bowed to promise, and then led the guards of the Nanchang Prince's Mansion behind him, and sprinted directly towards the arresting officers below, quickly occupying the surrounding shooting high points, and at the same time monitoring those arresting officers .

Li Xuan didn't want to suddenly shoot a cold arrow from behind when he was charging.

"My lord, who were those just now?" Kui Gong looked at Li Xuan with some doubts, he didn't expect Li Xuan's men to have other good players besides the two teams of Qianniuwei.

"Are these?" Li Xuan smiled and said, "These people are the hunters in the mountains that I have recruited in Hangzhou these two days, and I have something to bring them here tonight... By the way, Governor Yuan agreed to this matter. , These people are all from Wuzhou."

With one sentence, Li Xuan blocked all of Kui Gong's doubts.

Turning around, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth.

Although most of what he said was true, there was also a little bit of falsehood.

Among these people, there are indeed a group of "Wuzhou hunters" recruited by Li Xuan in Hangzhou, but there are also a lot of soldiers under Zhou Shen who have served with him, and there are also a few who came from Zhechong Duwei Shijin's mansion. Veterans out.

In Li Xuan's Nanchang Mansion, there are also a group of Right Qianniu Guards who have been with him since Hongzhou, Pengzhou, and Qiu Zhenmu, who were ordered to guard Li Xuan, the inspector Zuo Qianniuwei Zhonglang. , plus Li Xuan's Ming and Dark House Guards, this is all he has now.

Going south to Wuzhou, Li Xuan recruited a lot of people from various sources, but these people have complicated backgrounds, and there are many hidden dangers. Fortunately, they are basically good players. What is lacking now is the mutual cooperation in the battle.

Now is the opportunity.

……

"Decree!" Li Xuan's voice suddenly sounded, and the numerous guards behind him immediately bowed their hands together.

Under the night wind, standing on the peak, Li Xuan's voice was cold: "After sixty breaths, those who don't leave the manor will die. All archers will be shot with rockets for half an hour. After half a quarter of the fire, Qianniuwei will charge and kill them. Those who stand live, those who stand die!"

"Here!" Amidst the loud promise, the two Qianniu guards had already descended quickly, rushing to deliver the order.

The father and son Kui Gong and Kui Heng looked at each other, and the seriousness in each other's eyes was clearly visible.

The king of Nanchang County is obviously a person with a strong desire for power, and everything here is taken over by him quietly.

At the beginning, if he had arrived safely and left smoothly, nothing would have happened to the whole of Hangzhou, but once someone gave him a chance, he would immediately turn the world upside down.

This is the case in Yangzhou, and it is also the case in Hangzhou today.

Kui Gong couldn't help complaining to Mr. Qi and the Tianyin Sect behind him, why do you have to provoke him in Hangzhou.

Kui Gong's eyes fell on the high points of the various hillsides outside the manor at the foot of the mountain. It can be said that the entire villa, except the last four courtyards, and the other three courtyards are all within the range of bows and arrows.

Only corners under walls and inside houses can avoid being shot.

It has been a while since Hangzhou Facao joined the army and Su Yu sent an order, but for some reason, no one in the villa came out to surrender.

The villa maids and servants who were still running around in the villa before were almost all retreated into the house after being warned.

At this moment, the whole manor is quiet and there seems to be no one.

But in fact, more guards were hiding under the walls around the manor, holding swords and murderous intent.

……

"Shoot!" A cold shout came clearly from the mountainside.

The next moment, dozens of burning rockets shot towards the villa at the same time.

Every arrow aimed at the most prone to flames in the villa and shot away.

Windows, thatch, wooden doors, firewood, curtains, etc., and so on, in just a moment, the entire manor has already ignited a raging fire.

Especially the gates of the villa, with an unknown number of rockets nailed to them, soon began to burn blazingly.

Thick smoke rose everywhere, causing an uproar in the village.

Li Xuan's eyes quickly looked from the front of the burning villa to the rear.

There's another entry there, still flashing.

[Zong Ling, a true immortal Taoist girl, congenital and true species of great perfection]

According to Li Xuan's knowledge, there is only one Taoist girl in the True Immortal Dao, and her position is almost the same as that of Ye Wanwan in Tianyin Sect.

However, the only difference is that the Taoist girls of the True Immortal Dao are strictly selected and well protected. Under normal circumstances, once selected, they will not be replaced for more than ten years.

Unlike Tianyin Sect, there will be a new saint every few years.

Every time their saintess dies in a struggle with the government, a new saintess will be replaced immediately.

It has been many years since a Taoist girl died in the True Immortal Dao, and the last Taoist girl was taken over by Zong Ling after she retired as an elder at an older age.

What a god, the last time Li Xuan was assassinated in Nanchang County was done by them.

Although these people did not succeed, Li Xuan still kept them firmly in his heart. His desire for revenge has always been very strong.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on Wang Chao who was at the gate of the third courtyard.

In the raging fire, Wang Chao seemed to feel nothing, still lying firmly behind the courtyard door.

Silently lurking, ready to give Li Xuan a fatal blow at any time.

There was a sneer in Li Xuan's eyes, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at Kai Heng, smiled faintly, and said, "Brother Kai, because of some things, the news here needs to be kept secret, but now, this king needs the news to spread, and to pass it on." All over the city of Hangzhou, this matter will trouble Brother Kui, and in addition, there will be many people committing crimes in the future, I am afraid that Brother Kai will also need to be detained."

"My lord is very polite, and I will do my best to help you." Kai Heng's face was extremely serious, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw the changing expression on his father's face, and immediately knew that his father must be sighing in his heart: "The King of Nanchang I don't know who is counting again.

Li Xuan restrained her thoughts, watching the rockets in front of her gradually fade away, and under the raging flames, half of the manor was engulfed in flames.

The maids, servants and guards who were originally hiding in the manor immediately ran out of the house frantically, and then yelled and ran towards the backyard frantically.

No one ran to the courtyard gate, no one came to open the door for them.

This made Li Xuan somewhat disappointed. He originally thought that there would be people who couldn't help but want to escape, but he was wrong.

Half a quarter of an hour gradually passed, and the flames in the villa began to dim slowly, but the thick smoke continued.

"Unsheath the weapon!" Li Xuan gave an order, and more than a dozen red-clothed and gold-armored Qianniuwei pulled out the Qianniuwei from their waists at the same time, and then hung them obliquely on the side of the horse. At this moment, Li Xuan Shouted coldly: "Charge!"

With an order, the black horse under Li Xuan's crotch galloped out immediately, and rushed out in the direction of the gate of the villa at the foot of the mountain.

Although Li Xuan's location is a peak, it is only a hundred meters high, and the downward slope is gentle, just in time for the reunion of the cavalry.

The whistling sound flashed past my ears, from top to bottom, the speed of Li Xuan stepping off the horse increased to the extreme in a very short time.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Li Xuan had rushed down the hillside, heading straight for the gate of the manor.

Everyone who was fast reacted.

Amidst the sound of hoofbeats, Li Xuan, who was one step ahead, raised his long lance with overwhelming momentum, and headed towards the gate of the villa, which was nailed with rockets, and slammed it directly.

With a loud "boom", the gate of the villa suddenly exploded inward, and countless pieces of wood flew backwards like bombs.

Dozens of rockets were also mixed in the middle, and several courtyard guards who hid behind the courtyard gate and tried to attack and kill Li Xuan immediately lost most of their lives.

In the eyes of everyone, the originally incomparably strong gate was so easily destroyed, everyone was shocked.

With a "bang", the big black horse kicked the remaining gate with one hoof, and rushed in brazenly.

For a moment, like a wild beast that had run loose, it rushed to the center of the compound in an instant, and was even running forward.

A dozen Thousand Bull Knights came in with a Thousand Bull Sword at the same time at the same time, and they were divided into two teams in a blink of an eye, killing towards both sides at an extremely fast speed.

The sharp blade flashed past, and it was bloody in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, an incomparably cold shout sounded in the ears of everyone who survived: "Qianniuwei strangles the rebels, those who fall to the ground live, and those who stand stand die!"

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the direction of the sound, and suddenly saw the galloping Li Xuan riding a black horse, ruthlessly towards the gate of the second courtyard, stabbing first.

He had been attacking all the time. After breaking through the gate of the manor before, he went straight to the gate of the second courtyard and killed it.

The next moment, amidst the huge bang, countless pieces of wood exploded.

The figures hiding behind the wooden door were immediately killed and wounded, and the extremely sharp long spear that came after that wiped the throats of everyone under the door in a blink of an eye. Stop the horse speed.

More than a dozen Qianniu Guards on both sides rushed in at the same time, and the crossbow arrows in their hands immediately shot fiercely at the villa guards on both sides of the courtyard gate.

Li Xuan turned her head and looked behind her.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, under the courtyard wall, the guards of the manor were dead and wounded everywhere, blood was flowing, and there was no one standing.

These people were originally under the range of bows and arrows outside, and there were already many casualties.

Li Xuan suddenly broke through the gate and rushed in, and these people didn't react for a while.

By the time they reacted, the thousand bull cavalry had already charged in.

After regaining consciousness, Li Xuan's eyes fixed on the position on the upper right of the gate of the third courtyard in front, and the long spear in his hand was tightly clenched again.

[Wang Chao, the deputy head of the Vientiane Pavilion, in the middle stage of Xuantai Realm, is timid, retreats when in danger, greedy, and rises when opportunities arise. 】
