subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 57 Puzhou Dragon and Tiger Club

The huge explosion sound and the power displayed by the explosion stunned the defenders of Zhencheng. Before they could react, thousands of troops led by Zhu Zhen and Hu Zhen had already entered the city.

After a few rounds of rushing, they captured Zhencheng with almost no decent resistance, wiped out [-] enemies, and recruited and surrendered more than [-] enemy troops.

Zhu Wen sent people to post safety notices all over the city, instructing the soldiers not to kill innocent people, not to plunder the people, and those who violated the orders would be punished according to the military law.

After the rebel army entered the city, the people in the city panicked, as if the end was coming, the sound of iron hoofs, footsteps, crying and screaming... After a full night of noise, the city of Puzhou gradually quieted down.

Zhu Wen and others stayed up all night, dragging their exhausted bodies to urge the soldiers to rationalize the battlefield.

Zhu Zhen sent people to clean up the arrow branches on the ground outside the city gate, and there were [-] arrows. The arrow branches made by the court are good things, and the arrows are all wrapped with fine iron.It is several times more lethal than the wooden arrows in the Rebel Army.

Zhu Zhen smiled and said to Zhu Wen: "Third Brother, I have done a lot this time, right? Is there any reward?"

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "Then reward you with a meal!"

Zhu Zhen stuck out her tongue with an aggrieved look on her face.

The guards next to them heard the conversation between the two, and they covered their mouths and smiled secretly.

Zhu Zhen turned to stare at them, and shouted, "Why are you laughing, do you want to be boarded?"

Several people immediately looked up at the sky, as if there was something beautiful in the sky, and they all put on a look that had nothing to do with them.

Zhu Zhen asked secretly in her heart: "Xiaomian, although I can't control the third brother, can I still not control you little soldiers?"

Seeing Zhu Zhen's swollen face, Zhu Wen smiled secretly, and said, "After cleaning up the battlefield, third brother, I will personally cook and comfort you, isn't that okay?"

Zhu Zhen immediately salivated and said: "Brother, I have been waiting for your words for a long time. I have been eating those hard-to-eat meals these days, and I am malnourished. Third brother, you know it too. You are still young, if it affects your development..."

Zhu Wen stared, and said, "Are you still young? Are you still young after all your wives are married? Your third brother and I are still single now! Stop pretending to be a child with me in the future!"

Zhu Zhen stuck out her tongue, made a grimace, and said with an apologetic smile: "Third brother, are you tired after not sleeping all night? I have already sent someone to tidy up a small courtyard for you. Why don't you go back and rest at noon? I have to go out of the city to meet Huang Wang's boss! Leave this place to me and Brother Hu first."

Zhu Wen was indeed a little tired, and after giving Zhu Zhen a few words, he was going to rest for a while.Zhu Cun led Zhu Zhen's personal troops to follow behind Zhu Wen. The rebel army had just entered the city, and the city was in great chaos. Are there any people?Wouldn't it be dangerous if an assassin or something sneaked in?

Zhu Wen said: "Second brother, you don't have to worry about me, you should go with Zhu Zhen and the others to appease the people in the city first. I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself."

Zhu Cun smiled and said, "I'm your captain, does this count as leaving your post without authorization?"

A few people made a few more jokes, and Zhu Wen took a dozen or so soldiers to rest first.

Just turned a street, when there were still more than [-] steps away from Zhu Zhen's arranged residence, I suddenly felt a strong wind blowing from behind, and it was too late to dodge. After all, Zhu Wen hadn't closed his eyes all day and night, his body was a little tired, and his reaction was not as good as Usually agile.He moved to the side, avoiding the vital parts of his back, preparing to use his shoulders as a sneak attack from behind, and then turned suddenly to face him.

But when he turned around, he didn't feel the expected pain in his shoulder.But he saw a soldier next to him draw his sword out of its sheath, and the blade was still making a "buzzing" vibration.

A spiked arrow that had been broken in two flew to the sides without landing. Suddenly, it was nailed into the window lattices on both sides of the street with a "boom", and even the half of the arrow tail was deeply inserted into the wooden window lattices. " Trembling.

"What a strong bow, who has such great arm strength?" Zhu Wen wondered in his heart.

The bodyguard behind him stood in front of Zhu Wen and shouted: "There are assassins, protect General Zhu!"

Now there are rebel soldiers everywhere in Puzhou City, and when they heard the shouts, they all moved closer here.

The assassin was hiding on the roof of a shop around the corner. Seeing the rebels surrounding him one after another, seeing that there was no hope of escaping, he simply stood up, twisted his waist and sat on the horse, and the bowstring rang repeatedly, "Whoosh!" Whoosh" three arrows shot at Zhu Wen in the shape of pin.Without stopping at all, he hung the longbow on his shoulder, unsheathed his sword, flew down from the roof, and came straight to Zhu Wen.

This series of movements was done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water without any pause, which shows that this person's skills are profound, and he is definitely not someone who will be taken lightly.

Zhu Wen secretly praised in his heart, he is really a good general, if this person can be used by me, that would be great!It's a pity I don't know who this person is?Zhu Wen thought to himself: "Could it be the killer sent by Shang Rang, no, Shang Rang would never send someone to assassinate me so blatantly. If he was found out, how could Shang Rang still have the face to stay in the rebel army? "

It's cumbersome to say, but in fact, it only took a moment for these thoughts to pass through Zhu Wen's mind.The three spiked arrows had already approached, and Zhu Wen shouted at the soldier standing in front of him: "Dangerous, get out of the way!"

But seeing the soldier's long sword shake, three spiked arrows passed by his left and right shoulders and the top of his head, but he also retreated three steps in succession under the shock of the forward force of the three sharp arrows, My sword hand was also slightly numb.He was also extremely horrified in his heart, knowing that the assassin was a formidable enemy.

Seeing that the assassin came straight to Zhu Wen single-handedly, the soldier saw that the assassin might not be able to match his skills, so he shouted: "The assassin is powerful, General Zhu, go!"

The two had already fought together in the blink of an eye, the assassin's sword was powerful, and the little soldier's sword was fierce, and the sound of metal and iron clanging sounded, shaking people's eardrums and stinging.

More than a dozen other soldiers cheered and formed a circular formation, surrounding the two people fighting in the middle.

Zhu Wen wondered, when did he have such a powerful personal soldier beside him, why didn't he know it at all?

Zhu Wen saw that the assassin was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, with a stubborn and unyielding appearance in his majestic appearance, and he seemed to have a three-point elegance, not like a generation of desperadoes.

The soldier whose name is not known is not very old, only in his twenties, tall and thin, with a handsome face, red lips and white teeth, he looks like a woman.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already fought for more than twenty moves, and the assassin became more and more courageous as he fought. He opened and closed with a single sword, slashed horizontally, and was powerful and ruthless.Gusts of cold wind hit the body where the blade passed, making the surrounding soldiers afraid to move forward.

The soldiers who used the sword in that battle were young, but their swordsmanship was really good. Although they were at a disadvantage, they were both offensive and defensive. Occasionally, a sword was stabbed at a tricky angle, which was extremely pungent.

Zhu Wen was secretly amazed when he saw it. At this time, Zhu Cun, Zhu Zhen, Hu Zhen and others also rushed here.

Zhu Cun, the captain of the personal soldiers, was also very surprised when he saw the fierce swordsmanship of the little personal soldiers with swords in the field.

"Second brother, when did you have such a powerful sword master, why didn't you tell me?" Zhu Wen asked Zhu Cun.

Zhu Cun said with a face of shame: "This person is a recruit recruited in Bozhou, his name is Xu Cong, and he usually keeps a low profile. As for his unique skills, I really don't know about him."

Zhu Zhen is not in the mood to care who the people in the arena are, and she has never had the concept of fighting alone. Someone dared to assassinate the third brother he admired most in his heart. nah!

Before Zhu Zhen came to the front, he drew out his knife, and was about to attack the assassin, but Zhu Wen grabbed him and said, "Let's see first."

The two people in the arena were fighting fiercely, and their swords were flashing continuously. The fight was indistinguishable.

The soldier named Xu Cong gradually felt unable to do what he wanted, but the assassin seemed to have some strength left, but he didn't dare to kill him rashly when he was surrounded by powerful enemies.

Xu Cong seemed to see that the opponent didn't use all his strength, and was furious in his heart, as if the opponent's failure to use all his strength was a great humiliation to him.I saw that once his sword technique changed, he didn't care about the origin of the opponent's saber movement, he made a strong attack, almost every move was a way of killing at the same time.

As the saying goes, "One person is invincible!"

The assassin frowned. Although he was determined to die, he didn't want to die with this helpless little soldier. He thought in his heart that even if he died, he would have to pull someone like Zhuwin.

As a result, the assassin was a little restrained, and was brought back to a tie by Xu Cong.He snorted coldly in his heart, and without holding back his hand, the saber slashed down on Xu Cong's head like a horse.

Instead of retreating, Xu Cong advanced, he slammed forward, twisted his body, barely avoided the assassin's knife, and the blade almost cut down against his body.The light helmet on his body was taken away by the blade, and without any fear, he stabbed the assassin's shoulder with his backhand.

At this time, the assassin's saber was already used up, and he was too late to block and dodge.

Hu Zhen, Zhu Zhen and others watching the battle couldn't help applauding, and they also had to admire Xu Cong's courage and swordsmanship.

Only Zhu Wen frowned slightly, thinking: "It's not good." He hurried towards the field.

Sure enough, the assassin sneered, and he used the old single-knife to give a sharp blow, abruptly changing the downward slashing knife into a forward thrust, and even used the single-knife as a long sword.It turned out that his seemingly fierce and powerful knife seemed mighty, but it was a false move, and the real killing move was behind.

Who would have thought that he could use such a heavy back so flexibly single-handedly?

Seeing that this knife was about to stab Xu Cong's lower abdomen, if this knife stabbed, Xu Cong would undoubtedly die.

The applause of Zhu Zhen and others did not end, but the situation in the field changed suddenly, and the applause turned into exclamation.But this time it changed suddenly, and the movements of the two were extremely fast.Zhu Zhen and others rushed forward, but it was too late to save them...
