Great Zhou Empire: Kill Zhao Kuangyin at the beginning

Chapter 55: The First Force of the Great Zhou Dynasty (Special thanks to book friends who are looking for monthly tickets that make me feel so excited!)

As soon as Zhang Yong and the ten "Long Xiang Guards" landed on the ground, a shower of arrows came from three sides. Although the eleven men were swinging their swords and dancing rapidly, two "Long Xiang Guards" were still hit by arrows.

Fortunately, the "Longxiang Guards" who went on this expedition were all equipped with close-fitting and sophisticated armor. The arrows did not penetrate the armor deeply, and the two people were slightly injured.

Zhang Yong immediately took off the "God's Arm Bow" from his back, and fired ten arrows in his left hand at a rapid speed towards the weak point of the arrow he just remembered.

When screams were heard in response to the sound of bowstrings, Zhang Yong had already led ten "Longxiang Guards" in this direction to break out of the encirclement. Hundreds of warriors from the Southern Tang Dynasty were surrounding them from three sides.

After half an hour of fierce chasing and fighting in Yangzhou City, Zhang Yong and others had fled to the north wall of Yangzhou City.

Seeing that the enemy was approaching and it was no longer possible to escape together, all the dragon guards said:
"Commander Zhang, quickly climb over the city wall and escape! We will defend you from the pursuers!"

Zhang Yongzhi is now surrounded by the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for people like him to escape intact. And the one who thinks he is the best has the greatest chance of escape.

Zhang Yong shouted:
"Brothers, His Majesty the Great Zhou will avenge you! I, the "Long Xiang Guard", will make the enemy repay today's hatred a hundred times!"

Zhang Yong immediately took out the hook rope and threw it towards the city wall. Only once did he hit the solid place on the stone stacks at the top of the city. He then grabbed the hook rope with his hand, stepped on the city wall with his feet, and quickly climbed up the rope and jumped up.

The ten "Dragon Guards" under the city wall faced the hundreds of Tang warriors who rushed over with firm faces and tears in their eyes. There was a loud sound of swords and blood flying like rain.

When Princess Li Fangyi of the Southern Tang Dynasty arrived with most of her troops, she saw that all ten "Long Xiang Guards" were killed on the spot, while Zhang Yong had already climbed over the city wall more than two feet high and escaped without a trace.

Li Fangyi looked at the subordinates of the "Imperial City Division" around her and said angrily:

"A bunch of trash! So many people surrounded me, but Zhang Yong even let Zhang Yong run away!
If he brings the information back to the Han Hui Military Camp, the great plan that our Datang has worked so hard to create to break the Zhou Dynasty will be ruined!
Immediately follow this princess out of the city to hunt down Zhang Yong! "

After finding the gatekeeper of Han Lingkun's Tianping Army at the north gate of Yangzhou City, he immediately opened the city gate and let Li Fangyi and others out of the city.

Zhang Yong had been running for less than a quarter of an hour in the plain fields of Yangzhou. He had already seen from a distance under the stars a large group of enemies chasing him from a distance, blocking the road from Yangzhou to the west back to Han Hui's military camp.

Zhang Yong sighed and had no choice but to turn to the north and run towards the dense forest, intending to go far away and escape from the Tang Dynasty's pursuing troops before escaping back to the military camp.

In the fierce pursuit for one day and two nights, Zhang Yong kept circuitous in the mountains and fields, running thousands of miles, taking advantage of the terrain in the dense forest and the 500-meter range advantage of the Divine Arm Bow, and shot hundreds of Nan Tang soldiers along the way. "Imperial City Division" warrior.

During this period, they were almost surrounded by the warriors of the Southern Tang Dynasty several times, but Zhang Yong used his magic arrow skills to break out of the siege.

On the way, the hundred special arrows in his quiver were quickly used up, so Zhang Yong made his own arrows by whittling wood with a short knife in the dense forest.

He has been wandering around the world since he was a child, and he is a martial artist. Surviving in the wild is just a matter of convenience for him.

Due to the power of killing hundreds of Southern Tang warriors, all the enemies were frightened by the power of Zhang Yong's bows and arrows, and no longer dared to catch up easily.

On the third day, in the afternoon of October 20, the first year of Kaixi, Zhang Yong stood high in the mountains and finally discovered Han Hui's army ten miles away, camped on the north bank of the Yangtze River and not far to the west of Yangzhou City.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Yong walked out of the dense forest along the terrain of the small mountain range and ran quickly towards Han Hui's army.

Without the cover of dense forest, these ten miles would be the most dangerous stretch.

Zhang Yong watched the cars running in all directions, and saw that after passing a hill, he was very close to the military camp of Han Hui Army. As soon as he turned around the foot of the mountain, he saw more than ten people standing on the narrow roadside of the mountain waiting for him. The leading woman was exactly Li Fangyi, Princess Yongning of the Tang Dynasty.

When they met the night before, they were in a hurry, so they didn't see her appearance clearly. Now when Zhang Yong looked at her, he saw that she was a beauty with exquisite features and unparalleled elegance, and her figure was especially voluptuous. The girl who leads the dance at the banquet.

Li Fangyi clapped her hands and said with a smile:
"As expected of Zhang Yong who killed Zhao Kuangyin, who is known as the "number one master of the Great Zhou Dynasty"!
This princess appreciates you more and more. I chased you for thousands of miles, but you alone shot and killed hundreds of warriors from the "Imperial City Division" of the Tang Dynasty! What weapon are you using?

Zhang Yong, as long as you agree to serve me, the princess will not only leave you alone, but also entrust you with important responsibilities! how? Zhang Yong sneered and said:
"Princess, don't be complacent! With a dozen of you, you may not be able to keep me here.

My Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is wise, mighty, benevolent and caring for the people. How can I be compared to Li Jingke, the weak leader of the Tang Dynasty who is accustomed to instigating rebellion and other despicable methods?

Today's revenge, I will retaliate by crushing your Tang Kingdom in the coming days of the Great Zhou Dynasty! "

Li Fangyi opened her lips and said in surprise:

"Zhang Yong, are you stupid or blind? Can't you see that this princess is surrounded by experienced masters?"

Zhang Yong snorted coldly:
"They are really powerful, but I can still give it a try!"

Zhang Yong exerted force with both arms, and with a few "snap" sounds, he broke the tough divine arm bow into several pieces in a moment. Determined to fight to the death, he drew out the long knife from his waist and rushed towards Li Fangyi and others.

Li Fangyi has also practiced martial arts since she was a child, but since she is a princess, she naturally has no hard work or actual combat experience, so she immediately retreated behind.

More than ten masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty's "Imperial City Division" immediately surrounded Zhang Yong.

Zhao Kuangyin's self-created "Chang Fist" and "Stick Technique" martial arts skills in hundreds of battles on the battlefield were said to be the most powerful among the brave generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

On the day of the "Bianjing Incident", Zhang Yong, Han Tong and the other nineteen martial arts young men were able to kill Zhao Kuangyin in the Xingwu Hall. How lucky was it.

Although the poison on the dagger played a major role, if it weren't for his superb martial arts skills and his excellent mind, how could he have hurt Zhao Kuangyin, who was constantly making moves in the battle formation?
Zhang Yong has been in the world since he was a child, has been in many dangerous situations, and has rich experience in bloody battles. In the past year, the good living environment, the hard training in the "Long Xiang Guard" army, and the secret skills taught by Chen Tuan have all made his military power greatly improve.

The face of Princess Li Fangyi of Yongning of the Tang Dynasty, who was watching the battle, went from relaxed and relaxed to frowning and staring, and then panicked.

Everyone in the battle was extremely skilled, but after all, Zhang Yong was more agile and flexible.

In more than two quarters, after Zhang Yong had killed more than ten masters of the "Imperial City Division" of the Tang Dynasty, he was already a bloody man with six wounds on his body.

Zhang Yong stretched out his sleeves to wipe away the blood splashed on his face, looked at Li Fangyi who was standing aside blankly, and said:
"Princess, why didn't you run away just now?"

Li Fangyi gritted her teeth and cried:

"You are so amazingly skilled, why should I run away? Is it possible to escape?

Now that I can't kill you, my Datang's Huainan plot will come to nothing.

If we lose this battle, our Tang Dynasty will no longer have any army to resist, and our destruction by the Zhou Dynasty is a foregone conclusion. What's the point of my escape? "

Zhang Yong sighed, walked towards Li Fangyi who was standing not far away, and said:

"I hope that the current troubled times in the world will end soon in the hands of His Majesty and the people can live in peace.

In this way, a noble person like the princess does not have to leave the palace and live a life of licking blood! "

Li Fangyi stood dumbly on the ground, and when she saw Zhang Yong approaching with a knife, knowing that she was about to be killed, she was not afraid to plead. Instead, she straightened her delicate body and straightened her jade neck like a swan's neck, with tears filling her eyes.

Just wait for Zhang Yong to finish her off.
