Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 666

"It's on fire, it's on fire..."

Li Yaodong's premonition was indeed correct, just after he stopped talking for a while, bursts of wild shouts sounded in the night.

"Not good, Lord Wang, quickly follow the general!"

Li Yaodong is an old man. Hearing the noise outside, he didn't dare to neglect. He dodged, and he was already at the window. With a push, he opened the closed window, and he just looked outside. , I immediately knew that the fire was very strange - but the fire always started in one place, and then spread to other places, and it was rare for multiple fires to start at the same time. Soaring to the sky, there is no weirdness in it. Li Yaodong can't tell it from his many years of experience in the world. He immediately became anxious, turned around, grabbed Wang Fangming's hand, and gave a low drink. He was about to go outside.

"General Li wait a minute!"

Although Wang Fangming is a scholar, he still has some guts. Although he was uncertain, he didn't lose his hands and feet completely, but seeing him wave his hand, he flicked away Li Yaodong's hand, and rushed to the cabinet placed in a corner of the room, quickly He took out the official seal and a large stack of documents from it.

"Come on!"

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger, Li Yaodong was very anxious. When Wang Fangming got his things, he didn't care too much. He lifted Wang Fangming up, straightened himself up, and jumped out of the open window. He had never enjoyed the treatment of a trapeze person before, and he couldn't help but exclaimed when he felt his body soaring into the air, but at this moment, Li Yaodong didn't care about how he felt at all, and he jumped like a big bird and flew towards the outside of the station. rushed out.

The fire at the post station was strange, and all the postmen were panicked, and they all ran fast, crowded and rushed towards the gate, thinking of escaping quickly, but it was just a delusion. At some point, a bearded general led a group of troops and horses to surround the huge post station tightly. Not only did the group of troops and horses not help put out the fire, but they all headed towards the post station with bows, crossbows, knives and guns, showing a murderous posture.

"There is an order from above that all the people in the post station will collude with bandits and make trouble. If no one is left behind, kill them!"

Just when the fastest postman rushed out of the gate, the bearded general waved his hand violently and let out a loud shout. Suddenly, all the bows and crossbows in the army were fired like locusts. The rain of arrows shot the postmen who had just escaped from the flames into hedgehogs in an instant, and the rest of the postmen did not dare to charge any more, and all retreated into the yard in disorder.

"General, don't get me wrong, a certain family is the Yi Cheng Liu Wuming, and my second uncle is the second housekeeper Liu Wu, please don't ask the general...ah..."

A group of post soldiers surrounded the post office Cheng Liu Wuming in the yard in a panic, and asked Liu Wuming to come out to make a clear distinction. He took out a piece of white cloth, held it up high and poked his head out from the courtyard gate, shouting tremblingly, and carried out his uncle who was the second steward of the palace, trying to impress the bearded general who led the team.

"Fire arrows!"

The bearded general was ordered to wipe out all the people in the inn, so he would not pay attention to what Liu Wuming was saying, and without waiting for him to finish his words, he unceremoniously dismissed the general, as soon as this order came out , the soldiers who had already changed their arrows did not dare to delay a little bit, each pulled the trigger, and countless crossbow arrows shot out again, instantly shooting the unlucky Liu Wuming into a sieve, after a rapid scream, the corpse It was already smashed heavily into the dust.

"There are thieves, shoot arrows!"

At the same time that Liu Wuming, the postman, was killed, Li Yaodong, who was carrying Wang Fangming, jumped up the high wall to the west. Just as he was about to leap down, a sharp-eyed soldier in the army surrounding the post Having already discovered his whereabouts, after a roar, all the crossbowmen who had been on standby for a long time immediately fired at once, and amidst the violent sound of machine springs, countless crossbow arrows pierced the night sky, pouring towards him densely like rain. Li Yaodong covered it.

"Damn!"

Li Yaodong has been in the army for a long time, so he knows the power of the standard crossbow in the army. If he was alone, he would not be afraid of this level of arrow rain. It is obviously impossible to break out of the encirclement under the rain of arrows intact. In addition to being annoyed, he can only curse bitterly. While blocking the incoming arrows with his sword, he leans back and turns over again. Falling back to the courtyard of the station.

"Li, General Li, General, this, this, this..."

A literati is a literati after all, even Wang Fangming is quite courageous, but he was still quite frightened by this kind of battle, and he wanted to say something, but he stuttered so badly that he didn't know what to say. That's right.

"Master Wang, don't panic, I will have my own measure!"

Li Yaodong's duty on this trip was to protect Wang Fangming's life. Seeing his panic, he hastily offered a word of forgiveness. Then, regardless of Wang Fangming's reaction, he looked back at the fire that was already rising into the sky behind him, and gritted his teeth. , took out a signal firework from his bosom, pulled the cable above his head, and threw it into the sky with all his strength.

"Oh!"

The signal flare roared into the night sky, and with a loud noise, a gorgeous purple-red firework exploded.

"General Ye, look!"

Li Yaodong came here with Ye Sheng this time, originally he didn't intend to pick up Wang Fangming immediately, but just wanted to contact him secretly first, so, except for Li Yaodong who sneaked into the post station alone in disguise, Ye Sheng and a dozen "Ming Di" The masters were all in charge of responding not far from the station, and when the station suddenly caught fire, Ye Sheng and the others dared not neglect, and rushed to the station to save people, but before they could take any action, a group of more than a thousand people Seeing that the situation was not right, Ye Sheng and the others dared not act recklessly. They could only use the cover of night to retreat to a small forest more than a hundred feet away from the post station, and nervously inspected the situation. Seeing the movement, when the fireworks exploded, some sharp-eyed people exclaimed.

not good!Seeing the explosion of fireworks, Ye Sheng's heart sank instantly. He knew that the matter had reached a critical juncture, and his complexion instantly turned cold, but he didn't hesitate too much. He gritted his teeth, shook his hands, The long sword hanging in the room was already out of its sheath, and he pointed towards the direction of the station with all his strength, and said in a low growl: "Attack!"

"promise!"

Everyone in "Ming Di" is a master of battles. Although there are only 15 people, their momentum is extremely strong. Even if they know that the casualties will be heavy in the past, no one flinches, and they respond in unison. Each of them spread out their bodies and followed Ye Sheng closely. There were only 16 people in the area. Under this gallop, there was an aura no less than that of a large army charging.

"Brothers, waiting is death, rushing forward is death, left and right are death, fight with them!"

Although the post station was on fire, the flames could not suppress the explosion of the fireworks. Not only Ye Sheng and others saw it, but also Wang Fangming's followers who had already rushed to the front yard of the post station, but most of them They were all at a loss and didn't know what it meant, only a few sergeants who were members of "Ming Di" knew what was going on. After looking at each other, a burly officer of the team drew out the horizontal knife at his waist, screamed wildly, and shouted loudly. Step towards the direction of the courtyard gate and rush to kill the past.

"Let's fight, kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one, brothers, go!"

"Fight!"

"Kill!"

The fire in the post station was getting bigger and bigger, the smoke was billowing, and the heat wave was suffocating. The originally small front yard was forced by the heat wave, and there were fewer places for people to stand. Wang Fangming's more than [-] people The entourage and more than [-] postmen were all crowded in the courtyard. If so, if they stayed for a while longer, they would either die in the fire or be roasted to death by the heat wave. There was a crowd of responders, no matter whether they were armed with knives or empty-handed, more than [-] men rushed towards the gate of the courtyard, shouting and shouting.

"Fire arrows!"

When the bearded general who led the team to surround the post station saw the people in the post station fighting bravely, a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, waved his hand without mercy, and shouted orders.

"Whizzing……"

What the army pays attention to is orders and prohibitions. All the soldiers don't understand what is going on with their actions, and they don't need to know. Once they heard that the general order has been issued, they all pulled the trigger without hesitation. The crossbow bolt shot out again, instantly knocking down more than half of the crowd protruding from the courtyard gate.

"Brothers, kill, kill, kill!"

The "Ming Di" team who was the first to rush out of the post station was originally a guard of the Eastern Palace, and his martial arts were quite good. Although the arrows rained heavily on his face, he did not die because of it. He was just shot in the left shoulder and thigh. Arrow, although the pain was severe, but he ignored it at all, screamed and rushed forward, and the remnants following him saw this, and they were unwilling to be left behind, roaring and launching a forceful attack.

As the saying goes, one man is hard-pressed to stop ten thousand men, although the surviving post station has only twenty people, which is nothing compared to the army gathered in front of the post station, but under the impact of such a desperate effort, it is still impressive. The army surrounding the station was in chaos for a while, and the two sides were strangled into a mass in an instant, with blood and flesh flying all over the place. The momentum of the attack was suppressed by the large number of officers and soldiers. In the time before and after a cup of tea, all the people in the post station were killed on the spot, but their deaths were exchanged for Li Yaodong's breakthrough. BEST CHANCE OUT!

"Shut away the thief!"

"Hurry up and report to the general, there is a sneak attack by thieves!"

A scuffle started at the gate of the post station, and Ye Sheng also led his troops to the west side of the post station almost at the same time, and caught the officers and soldiers on the west side by surprise. Under the fierce battle between the two sides, the "Ming Di" side with fewer numbers was not only not trapped, but On the contrary, the killing caused chaos among the officers and soldiers. Amidst the frenzied shouts, Li Yaodong, who had already sensed Ye Sheng's arrival, dared not be negligent in the slightest. He took a deep breath, lifted Wang Fangming with a sudden leap, and jumped onto the ground again. At the top of the wall, ignoring the melee in the venue, he unfolded his body and flew out. The three-foot green sword in his hand was moving like flying, beheading the officers and soldiers who dared to block the way one by one. It has blended into the night like a ghost.

"withdraw!"

Seeing that Li Yaodong was out of danger, Ye Sheng naturally didn't want to fight any more, he slashed and killed several officers and soldiers who were fighting endlessly around him, and with a roar, he led his troops and retreated into the distance.
