Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 608
The courtyard brightened up, and someone could see someone's head protruding from the courtyard wall, but only the head was exposed, and with a "swish", an arrow was nailed accurately.

The person who was shot fell backwards, a scream could be heard outside, and then more heads were exposed, Chen Dahe stretched his bow and arrows leisurely on the roof, the distance was only thirty steps, the lights were brightly lit, The people outside are lying on the top of the wall, unable to get up or down, they are just targets.

Chen Dahe has good eyesight and is more focused on bow and arrow skills. He learned from Tan Gong, and the bow and arrow are very accurate. At such a short distance, he draws the bow and arrow halfway, which saves effort. The arrows shoot at the enemy's eyes. middle.

There was a sound of swishing, and seven of them were shot down by him in the blink of an eye. Although the bow and arrow was half-opened, it was fired quickly and needed a short adjustment. After his pause, there were more people climbing.

"What are you afraid of? There's only one archer on the roof, and now he's exhausted!"

Someone outside said in a hurry, Wang Tong, Li Hutou and others were already standing in the yard, Wang Tong raised the simple knife and waved it, Chen Dahe also took the bow and arrow.

Without the threat of arrows, someone finally jumped in and landed on the wall clumsily. He had to throw the weapon in first and pick it up after landing.

At first glance, he was a eunuch of the Sanyang Sect, with no skills in his body, squatting down to pick up weapons, and just got up straight, his eyes blurred, and his throat hurt sharply, this was his last consciousness.

The second and third jumped down. They also saw someone waiting below, but they always felt that they would avoid it. The man's movements were not so fast, but after landing, a spear seemed to be like a poisonous snake that was swiftly pounced. He stabbed into the body suddenly, screamed loudly, and the whole person fell down.

The spear in Li Hutou's hand shook lightly, his arms swung, and the movement of stabbing out and retracting could hardly be seen clearly under the light of the night fire. Some people didn't even have time to scream.

However, Wang Tong didn't step forward. In the current situation, he was there to scan the formation to see if any fish slipped through the net. These eunuchs with wooden sticks and short knives didn't even have the qualifications to slip through the net.

There were screams inside, but there were also screams outside. Wang Tong was stunned, but he heard cries outside, screams, and shouted sharply:

"It's this time, you guys are still thinking about running, rushing in is the only way to get rich!! Hurry up!!"

After a short pause, I saw a group of people climbing up the wall. This time there were a lot more people than last time. Their faces were already distorted under the light of the fire. They squatted directly on the top of the wall without holding on to the top of the wall. Jump.

The ground is green bricks, the wall is not high but it is as high as a person, many people jumped down and screamed in pain, but suddenly a dozen people came down, and Li Hutou couldn't kill him, he held his spear several times, Assassinated four people, but several others rushed in yelling. Sun Xin took a step forward, holding a shield in one hand and a broad-bladed hatchet in the other.

The whole person rushed forward, knocking the person closest to him into the air, and slashed down with the short ax in his hand, but the other person reacted to block it, and the movement was quite fast, and he had time to raise the short knife in his hand horizontally.

But how could his short knife block the heavy hatchet made of fine steel in Sun Xin's hand, the knife was chopped off directly, and the ax cut into the neck and shoulders, and it was directly smashed over.

On the other side, two generals of the Huwei Army stabbed them with spears side by side, and quickly cleaned up the people. Wang Tong did not move. He noticed that after the dozen or so eunuchs jumped in, the ones behind followed. Eight people, these eight people are flexible, and the clothes they are wearing are also the soft armor of the imperial guards.

After the guards landed, they were stunned. They thought there were guards like them in the yard, but they were soldiers in heavy armor. There are many rumors in the capital army about such armor. "Plate armor" is this kind, and the generals with status have to get a set to wear on their bodies, which is considered a glorious thing.

"Wang Tong's..."

A guard yelled out, but saw a person in front of him rushing towards him with great strides.

The sharp-edged plain knife in Wang Tong's hand was used as a short spear, and he charged forward with the flat end. He had already taken the lead by launching it early. There was a wall behind the opponent, and his companions were beside him.

But there is only a saber in his hand, how can he block it, he is wearing leather armor, so there is no protection, and with a puff, he is directly pierced by the simple saber.

"Dangdang" two times, the two people around took this opportunity to grab Wang Tong's face, swung their knives and slashed down, Wang Tong leaned forward and received the two knives with his back.

The thick back of the plate armor is a whole piece of iron, and the knife cut left only a white mark, without any harm. Wang Tong turned the Pu knife in his hand and pulled it out. The whole person took a step back. The knife cut directly into the thigh of the man on the right, and the man screamed earth-shatteringly, and fell directly to the ground.

Wang Tong took another step back, and he was already at the direct distance from the man on the left. The simple knife in his hand slashed down obliquely. The man's knife was on the other side, and it was too late to block it.

Wang Tong's swing was so powerful that the man only had time to turn sideways, his head was cut off, and blood spurted out wildly.

In the short confrontation, the guards with short weapons were no match for Wang Tong and other heavily armored warriors, and eight of them were killed directly there.

Just now, he broke out several consecutive movements, wearing heavy armor and killing three people. Wang Tong didn't feel panting or sweating. It really is good to practice hard.

"Throw a pot of arrows up!"

Chen Dahe shouted from the roof, a Huwei general who was on duty on the steps turned around and ran into the house, took a pot of arrows, almost thirty, and threw them up.

There are still shouts and noises outside, but the fire seems to be expanding. There are many carved beams and painted buildings in the Forbidden City, and there are many wooden buildings. For the sake of splendor and splendor, a lot of paint and colors are used. These things are the most fuel-friendly. Since Cheng Zu Zhu Di built the palace, several fires have caused great damage. In the Jiajing year, there were more frequent fires. Even because of the rebuilding of the palace, Yan Song, the chief assistant at that time, fell down.

The palace was becoming more and more chaotic, but there was a short period of silence around here. Wang Tong and the others were used to seeing killings, and they were very calm, but they were just resting and tidying up.

Hearing that it was quiet outside, the door of the inner room was also opened. Emperor Wanli had confidence in Wang Tong and the others, and he was more courageous. Just now he screamed again and again, but just now someone said outside the door, "It's all right for the time being", so he dared to come out to have a look.

Concubine Zheng naturally stayed in the house, while Zhang Cheng and Zhao Jinliang accompanied Emperor Wanli to the door tremblingly.

Several braziers in the yard were held up by forks, and the fire was burning inside. They were all made of knotty wood, which was very resistant to fire. The yard was very bright. Emperor Wanli showed his head at the door, looked around, and entered. The target was the dead body lying on the ground. The strong smell of blood rushed into his nose, not to mention the fire outside the courtyard wall and the faint sound of shouting and killing. .

I thought that Wang Tong and others came here for safety, who would have thought that there would be such a brutal fight, some of the corpses in the yard were eunuchs, some were guards, who would have thought that there would be so many dangers in the palace.

Zhang Cheng patted on the back. Emperor Wanli finally felt better after vomiting. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the sound of the armor, but it came from the inner courtyard. Shrinking his body and looking sideways, it was Li Tao running over, holding an ax and gun in his hand, and his armor was also stained with blood.

He didn't see Emperor Wanli inside the door, but he just said:
"Brother Wang, there were seven people in the backyard who wanted to come in, and they were all taken care of!"

After Li Tao finished speaking, he saw Emperor Wanli next to him, and hurriedly bowed to apologize. Emperor Wanli waved his hand, but Zhang Cheng had seen the scene before. The smell of blood made him frown, but that was all, and he asked:
"Wang Tong, with such a big courtyard, can ten of you keep it?"

"This group should be close. It is estimated that there are still people coming here, and they will fight in the courtyard at that time."

Zhang Cheng thought about it, and said in a deep voice:
"There are no fewer than a hundred people in the palace here, each with their own residences. When the thieves really rush in, you have to protect the Long Live Lord, and they will not be able to take care of them. In the middle, let them block the doors and windows, so that each other can feel at ease, so as not to delay this side."

Emperor Wanli nodded, Zhang Cheng was about to leave, but he asked:
"Zhang Banban, is there any relationship between the Empress Dowager Rensheng and the Empress Dowager Cisheng? What about the Daban, the empress and the concubine!?"

"The imperial guards on the side of the two empress dowagers are old-fashioned, so they should be trustworthy. People from Dongchang on Feng Gonggong's side have been watching, so don't worry, the empress dowagers and empresses on Debi..."

Zhang Cheng was a little hesitant when he said this, but Wang Tong said:
"Your Majesty, there are fighting sounds in the palace, which means that they can't control the overall power. They set fire, which means that they want to attract attention. The thieves are not strong enough, and the target is Your Majesty. There is no need to worry about the empress and the concubine."

This is the only way to describe the situation. Emperor Wanli nodded, and Zhang Cheng hurriedly led the people away.

**************
"There is a curfew in the capital, you are actually armed with a weapon and set fire to murder, quickly put down your weapon and surrender on your knees, or you will be shot and killed!!"

Li Wenyuan shouted while holding a spear on his horse, Jinyi guards and Shuntianfu horses lined up in two rows with nearly a dozen horses, and behind them were Jinyi guards and Shuntianfu guards from the brigade.

A few tens of steps away from Li Wen, there was a messy, panic-stricken Wumingbai. They held weapons and torches in their hands, and they didn't dare to go forward at all.

**************
"...Everyone said that entering the palace can lead to prosperity and wealth, and our family didn't ask for that. We just wanted to support a few younger brothers, so we cut them off by ourselves. But at that time, there were no people in the palace. Hungry, that day was really difficult..."

Lin Shulu was still talking about the past, and the window paper was full of red light.
