Rebirth of the deer dragon, the leader of the dragon

Chapter 551 Eight Banners Soldiers Rush

Duo Long shook his head lightly and said: "Your Excellency is willing to sacrifice your life for the sake of the emperor. How can a humble official care about this precious sword? If the humble official's martial arts skills are [-]% of the adult's, if it is not a humble official, he also has the important task of protecting the emperor. I will definitely go with the adults."

Hong Tianxiao smiled slightly and said: "I accept your wish. After I go, the emperor's safety will be entrusted to you. As for this precious sword, you should keep it by your side, thinking that it will be used to protect the emperor."

Seeing Hong Tianxiao's refusal to accept the saber, Duo Long felt very anxious and hurriedly said again: "My lord, if my lord can't open the city gate, the imperial palace will definitely be captured by Oboi's army. Even with the help of this treasured sword, Duo Long's martial arts are limited. The enemy Oboi has an army of tens of thousands, and the emperor even gave the blunderbuss he used to protect himself to the lord, so how can a humble official begrudge this knife. Besides, this knife is not my family's property in the first place, but was led by my late father. When the army was fighting in the Central Plains, it got it by accident, so it was designated as a family heirloom sword, and it is only the second generation here."

Since this knife was obtained by Duolong's father from the Central Plains, it is naturally a Han Chinese thing. Hong Tianxiao no longer held courteously, reached out and took the knife out of Duolong's hand. A gust of cold air rushed towards Sen's face, and a cold light disappeared in the blink of an eye. "A good sword, really a good sword." Hong Tianxiao had seen Hu Yunzhi's Cold Moon Sword before, and thought it was the king of swords. When he saw this Cold Moon Sword today, it was not at all inferior to Hu Yunzhi's Cold Moon Sword, and he was overjoyed , even blurted out admiration, put the precious sword back into its sheath, cupped his hands to Duolong and said: "Since this is the case, Liu Mou would be more respectful than obedient. If Liu Mou gets his life by chance, this sword will definitely return to its original owner."

After all, Hong Tianxiao turned around and walked towards the gate of the imperial palace. The sergeant in charge of guarding the gate had already received an order. His figure completely disappeared from his sight before he closed the door firmly.

When Hong Tianxiao's figure disappeared and the gate was closed again, Duolong came back to his senses, and murmured: "Whether you come back or not, this Lengyue sword is yours, and the world will not let you go!" Only a hero like you is worthy of such a precious sword."

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the fire in Oboi's camp had been almost extinguished, and he was busy treating the wounded and reorganizing the camp, but Hong Tianxiao would kill him again, although this time it was only him A person, but in his hand there is an extra precious sword that cuts iron like mud. Wherever he goes, it is like the nightmare of the Eight Banners soldiers.

At first, Aobai also thought that Hong Tianxiao was attacking for the second time, but after some blocking and fighting, he found that Hong Tianxiao's direction this time turned out to be the South Gate.Moreover, when Aobai realized this, Hong Tianxiao had already broken out of the encirclement, and went towards the south gate with lightness kung fu.

Obai knew that if Hong Tianxiao opened the city gate, once Prince Kang's army entered the city, he would definitely lose this battle, so he hastily asked Hu Yizhi, the King of Baisheng Swords who was in charge of protecting him, to bring two thousand iron armored soldiers who were in charge of protecting him to hurry After chasing after him, what Oboi told Hu Yizhi was that even if the two thousand armored men were all killed in battle, they must stop Hong Tianxiao from opening the city gate.

After Hu Yizhi received this order, he became very anxious. Since the death of the Yi brothers, Oboi handed over the two thousand iron armored men to him. Hu Yizhi knows the fighting power of the two thousand iron armored men clearly. , Every armored soldier can count as ten, and these two thousand iron armored soldiers are enough to be worth [-] troops.However, without Hong Tianxiao's order right now, he didn't dare to turn against him suddenly, so he had to take the order and lead two thousand armored men to chase Hong Tianxiao. What he hopes most now is that when he brings people under the city gate, Hong Tianxiao has already opened the city gate.

When Hu Yizhi came to the gate of the city as slowly as possible with anxiety, he saw that Hong Tianxiao was besieged by countless Qing soldiers, the sound of fighting was loud and the screams continued.Although these Qing soldiers could not hurt him at all with Hong Tianxiao's martial arts, but he was also unable to kill all the Qing soldiers who went forward and fought fiercely without fear of death.Although Hong Tianxiao really wanted to lean towards the city gate, these Qing soldiers had already received Obai's order to surround Hong Tianxiao layer by layer, killing one person, and the other jumped over the corpse, and so on. Repeatedly, he was not given any chance to lean towards the city gate at all.

Hu Yi was anxious, but he couldn't think of any way to help Hong Tianxiao. Although more and more Qing soldiers fell at Hong Tianxiao's feet, more and more Qing soldiers surrounded him.At this moment, a Qing soldier on the gate of the city was eager to make a contribution, and seeing Hong Tianxiao trapped in the siege, he suddenly shot an arrow at him.

Hu Yizhi's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly mobilized his skills and shouted loudly: "Brothers in the city, be careful, Liu Feiying's qinggong is extremely high, don't let him fly to the top of the city, and the archers are ready to take precautions."

Hong Tianxiao was in a hurry when he heard the sound of a sharp arrow piercing the air above his head and Hu Yizhi's shout, he immediately understood, he was overjoyed, he grabbed the arrow in his hand, and threw his backhand at the The Qing soldiers threw the arrows, and then plucked onions from dry land, and flew towards the top of the city. Before the people arrived, a hidden weapon had already arrived. Hidden weapons hit dozens of people.

After being reminded by Hu Yizhi, Hong Tianxiao also understood that it was impossible for him to open the city gate by himself. The only way now is to cut off the two steel cables connected to the suspension bridge and let Prince Kang's army cooperate to attack the city. , Only then can the South City Gate be breached.

At this time, Prince Kang was already directing his soldiers to prepare for the next day's attack on the city, but suddenly found that something happened to the city wall.Prince Kang took a look at the simple binoculars of the early Qing Dynasty, and found that there seemed to be someone fighting on the city wall, and it seemed that a person was fighting against the Qing soldiers on the city wall, and the figure and costume of this person were very familiar.

At this moment, Prince Kang suddenly heard a familiar voice: "My lord, my subordinate is Liu Feiying, who is currently entangled with these Qing soldiers on the top of the city. My lord, order people to attack the city quickly."

"It's the third brother, he's fighting bloody battles on the top of the city alone." Prince Kang's heart was shocked, and the telescope in his hand fell to the ground, but he couldn't care less about picking up the telescope, and hurriedly shouted with all his strength : "Quick, quick, attack the city immediately, attack the city immediately, Master Liu, the head of the imperial guards, is fighting bloody battles on the top of the city alone."

The person in charge of controlling the southern city is Oboi's most valiant lieutenant, Ge Huosi. After hearing Hong Tianxiao's shout, he felt very anxious, knowing that if he could not be removed, he might be under the strong attack of Prince Kang's army. It was bound to fail, so he hastily roared: "Brothers, bow and arrow serve."

Right now there were hundreds of Qing soldiers surrounding Hong Tianxiao at the city gate, and Ge Huosi ordered the Qing soldiers below to shoot arrows, obviously planning to abandon the hundreds of Qing soldiers at the city gate.The hundreds of Qing soldiers were all shocked when they heard Ge Huosi shouting to release the arrows. They knew that once the random arrows rained down on the top of the city, even though Hong Tianxiao could not escape the fate of the random arrows piercing his body, but These hundreds of officers and soldiers will also die under the random arrows.

"Fire the arrows." With this shout, a rain of arrows shot from the bottom of the city to the top of the city.

Just after Ge Huosi yelled, Hong Tianxiao used all his strength and slashed outward with a single knife. All twenty or so Qing soldiers were cut in half immediately.All the Qing soldiers were shocked, and before they could close the encirclement circle, Hong Tianxiao jumped out of the city.

"Ahhh..." Just as Hong Tianxiao jumped out of the city, the rain of arrows had already reached the top of the city, and the Qing soldiers who were staring at the place where Hong Tianxiao's figure disappeared in a daze realized that there were countless arrows waiting below the city. They, when the screams sounded, the remaining officers and soldiers fired sharp arrows with their weapons and shouted loudly: "Don't let it go, don't let it go, Liu Feiying has already jumped out of the city."

However, there were screams one after another, and although the voices of these Qing soldiers were loud, they were covered by those miserable screams.

At this moment, only a loud "bang" was heard. It turned out that Hong Tianxiao cut off the two steel cables connected to the suspension bridge with the Leng Yue sword before landing. loud noise.At this time, Ge Huosi understood Hong Tianxiao's intentions, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, stop shooting arrows, climb up to the top of the city, and shoot down arrows, you must shoot Hong Tianxiao to death, otherwise, once the army from outside enters the city , we can't survive."

However, it was already too late. After Hong Tianxiao cut off the steel cables of the suspension bridge, he landed lightly in front of the city gate with the rebound force of those two blows.Before the archers under the city reached the top of the city, Hong Tianxiao had already channeled [-]% of his internal energy, swung the Lengyue sword, and struck hard at the city gate.

There was a loud bang. Although the city gate was tall and thick, it was composed of two doors after all. Hong Tianxiao's saber just hit the gap between the two doors. Behind the gap, there were only seven or eight thick bolts. How could he be able to stop Hong Tianxiao's power of this knife, all eight thick door bolts were cut off, and the two gates were also blown backward by the gust of wind that was swept up by this mighty knife.

At this time, Prince Kang happened to bring the army to a mile outside the city gate. He was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly waved his hand behind him, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the city gate has been opened by Mr. Liu, let's go. Those who kill Oboi will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and those who capture Oboi alive will be promoted to three ranks and rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."

The so-called brave men must be rewarded with great rewards. Hong Tianxiao put down the suspension bridge twice and slashed open the city gate for the third time. The mighty soldiers all saw it. Their morale was already boosted, and now they were encouraged by such a generous reward from Prince Kang. , One by one was desperate, rushing forward desperately.

The backup had already arrived, and Hong Tianxiao could have retreated successfully, but instead of retreating, he was the first to rush into the city. Wherever the sword went, heads or stumps shot up into the sky, blood It rained everywhere.Seeing that the gate of the city had been opened, and the army from outside the city poured in like a tide, and Hong Tianxiao was so brave, he was terrified.

Under Hong Tianxiao's full efforts, this terrifying internal struggle among the Eight Banners soldiers really took place.This was the first internal fight of the Eight Banners soldiers, and it was also the most tragic one, because the fighting strength of the Eight Banners was almost the same, and it was a close-quarters battle in the capital, with no formation, no strategy, only ruthlessness and bravery.

After Obai got the news that the south gate was breached, he knew that the capital was bound to fail, so he hurriedly reorganized the army, discarding those who were seriously injured and could no longer fight, and led the remaining [-] troops to attack the south gate with all their strength.

Prince Kang's main force is at the south gate, so why did Oboi go to the south gate instead?
Kangxi controlled the forces of the Four Banners, as well as the Xiaoqi Battalion, Pioneer Battalion and Shenji Battalion. The four banners surrounded the four gates respectively. Prince Kang was at the south gate, and the other three banners were at the other three gates.As explained earlier, Fudeng, the owner of the Zhenglan Banner, and Bochier, the owner of the Xianglan Banner, are rich young men who have never experienced a battlefield. Therefore, Prince Kang increased the strength of the Pioneer Battalion and the Shenji Battalion respectively for the two. And Cha Erzhu, the flag owner of the Zhenghuang Banner, was originally the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, so at the south gate, there are only the troops of the Zhenghong Banner under Prince Kang.When the troops were divided in this way, Cha Erzhu had intentionally allocated half of the officers and soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion to Prince Kang, but Prince Kang’s combat effectiveness in holding the Zhenghong Banner was the first among the Eight Banners soldiers, so he did not accept Cha Erzhu’s kindness, and also It was Prince Kang's carelessness that gave Obai a chance to escape.

The 3 troops led by Obai and the remaining [-] defenders at the South Gate made a total of [-] troops, while Prince Kang's Zhenghongqi had less than [-] troops, which is a big difference between the two.Although the Red Banner Qing soldiers had the strongest combat effectiveness among the Eight Banners soldiers, they were still retreating steadily in the face of an Oboi army twice as large as their own.

This fight was unprecedented, the soldiers on both sides were brave and good at fighting, and the casualties increased steadily.At this time, Kangxi also confirmed that Obai's army really wanted to escape, and also ordered Duolong to lead [-] imperial guards to attack Obai from behind.

Seeing that after nearly half an hour of fighting, he still couldn't break through the south gate, Oboi was very anxious, so he asked Hu Yizhi, Gong Yangtai and Wei Wuji to lead two thousand armored troops to launch a fierce attack on the south gate.The Iron Armored Soldiers are worthy of being the elite of Oboi's elite, it only took a quarter of an hour to force Prince Kang's army at the south gate out of the city gate.
