Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 177

Outside the south gate of Handan City, Sun Buer came galloping with [-] personal guards, Xue Qian and Fan Shun looked ahead nervously.Seeing that it was Sun Buer, he immediately ordered to the officers and soldiers of the Handan defenders beside him: "Open the gate of the city".

"Follow orders".The soldiers of the Handan garrison took orders, and the south gate was opened wide.

Xue Qian and Fan Shun hurriedly walked down.Sun Buer grabbed the reins and stopped in front of the two of them, and the [-] guards behind him stopped immediately: "Sun Buer, you can get the badge of the imperial army."

"Get it now".Sun Buer replied to the two, thinking about the current situation, he added another sentence: "The lord is still in the palace at this time, and it is extremely dangerous. If you have other matters, it will not be too late to talk about it after today."

"Wait a minute, my father ordered me to dispatch [-] troops before entering the palace, and first wait outside the palace at the four gates in the south, east, north, and west."After Xue Qian finished speaking, he asked the generals behind him: "Where are the four generals?"

"The end will wait".Four generals walked out from behind Xue Qian and bowed to Xue Qian.

Xue Qian looked at the four people and immediately ordered: "Go to the four gates outside the palace, lead the fourth army, and assist General Sun in killing Shen Tuxiu's troops."

"Lead the order".Someone brought four war horses, and the four generals got on their horses and galloped away.

Xue Qian watched the four generals go away, and looked at Sun Buer again: "My father said, in order to kill Shen Tuxiu's troops as soon as possible, in order to deploy the troops. Only when the four generals enter together, can we fight with the greatest strength. Quickly reach the inner palace."

"This statement is reasonable, and I should obey it."Sun Buer nodded slowly, then turned his horse's head and looked at the generals of the personal guards.

Xue Qian and Fan Shun knew that Sun Buer was about to give an order, so they saluted him and quickly moved out of the way: "Second Master's Anyang soldiers are about to attack, and I am ordered by my father to guard Handan here. Sun Buerneng punished Shen Tuxiu in one fell swoop."

"Just wait and rest assured."After Sun Buer finished speaking, he looked forward and ordered to the generals of the guards: "Soldiers are divided into four groups, and they enter the palace at the same time with the waist badges of the Forbidden Army."

"promise".The generals of the personal guards took the order with a bang, and then they slapped their horses heavily on their backs and rushed into Handan city.Then the [-] guards were divided into four and rushed directly to the palace.

Xue Qian and Fan Shun watched these guards go away, silently hoping that it would be too late.

At the south gate of the palace, Sun Buer stopped the horses, followed by thousands of guardsmen and thousands of Handan defenders behind them.Looking at a guard wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army, the guard will take several people in the same costume to beat the palace gate.

The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army on the palace wall had already noticed the movement below, and when they heard them knock on the door, they asked loudly: "Who is here?".

"At the command of the commander, come to be on duty."Several personal guards responded loudly to the soldiers of the imperial guards on the palace wall.

A hanging basket was put down on the palace wall, and then the voice came down: "The token".

Several personal guards quickly put the waist tags in their hands in the hanging basket, and the hanging basket was slowly pulled up.

Several generals of the Imperial Army held their badges to identify the authenticity, then nodded to each other and waved behind the palace gate.

The imperial guards behind the palace gate understood immediately, and then the sound of unlocking the palace door was heard, and the palace gate opened wide.

Sun Buer looked at the palace gate wide open, and immediately winked at the two guard generals on the left and right, and the two generals understood.He slapped the horse's back heavily, rushed over with two teams of thousands of personal guards, and began to seize the palace gate.

The generals of the Forbidden Army woke up immediately, but unfortunately it was too late, a large number of guards and soldiers of the Handan garrison rushed towards them like a tide.The sound of swords and soldiers resounded through the sky, and the south gate quickly fell.

Without further delay, Sun Buer rushed directly to the inner palace with the army behind him.At the same time, the same scenes as here are happening at the other three palace gates. The [-] forbidden troops fell in a pool of blood under the joint raid of Sun Buer and the Handan defenders.

Outside Zhao Zhong's bedroom, Shen Tuxiu glanced impatiently at these stubborn officials: "The time has come, are you going to live on your knees, or die standing up?".

Xue Li and other officials didn't say anything, they just looked at Shen Tuxiu without sadness or joy.

Shen Tuxiu shivered from being stared at by them, subconsciously pulled out his sword, and viciously scanned Zhao Wuming, Zhao Yong, Zhao Yu and others.

The breath of death rushed towards the face, and those who were still standing just waited quietly.

At this moment, a general was covered in blood, and ran to Shen Tuxiu in a panic: "The commander, the Handan defenders and the soldiers of the four princes are coming to kill here, and the four gates of the palace have been lost."

"Zhao Wuming, don't you dare to ruin what would be a good thing."Shen Tuxiu reacted instantly, just about to swing the bronze sword in Zhao Wuming's direction.But with a trace of reason, he immediately suppressed his anger.

Shen Tuxiu's eyes were red, and he yelled at Zhao Wuming: "I haven't lost yet, and you are still in my hands. As long as I kill Zhao Yu, the second son can also ascend to the throne."

"Shen Tuxiu, how dare you do this."At this moment, Xue Li finally couldn't help but scold him.

Shen Tuxiu laughed wildly, and raised the bronze sword in his hand.He swung it directly at Zhao Yu's neck, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Kill, don't leave a single one behind."

"Follow orders".All the soldiers of the forbidden army took orders and rushed directly at those officials, the queen and others, completely letting go of their hands and feet, intending to kill them indiscriminately.

At this moment, countless arrows flew from outside, and a soldier of the Forbidden Army fell into a pool of blood.

Shen Tuxiu was hit by an arrow in the back of his hand, his hand trembled uncontrollably, and the bronze sword fell to the ground.

Zhao Wuming didn't suppress the anger in his heart, rushed to Shentuxiu and punched him in the heart, Shentuxiu fell to the ground immediately.

A sword was thrown from nowhere and flew towards Zhao Wuming.He grabbed the hilt of the sword with a wave, and then pointed at Shen Tuxiu who was lying on the ground.

A large number of guards and soldiers of the Handan garrison rushed in, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard who were still alive were captured one after another.

All the officials, the queen and others breathed a sigh of relief, but the officials kneeling on the ground were pale.

Zhao Wuming looked directly at Shen Tuxiu on the ground: "What else do you have to say now?"

"Kill, kill... Anyway, you will be buried with me."As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tuxiu laughed wildly instead.

Shen Tuxiu's maniacal laughter drew everyone's attention.

Zhao Yu looked at Shen Tuxiu, thought of Shen Tuxiu's rampant appearance just now, and instantly became furious: "When you are about to die, you don't know how to repent. How can Gu let you die so happily. After Gu defeats Zhao Yu's Anyang soldiers, he will surely You were cut to pieces and died."

"Soldiers of Anyang?"Shen Tuxiu was suddenly like five thunderclaps, and his laughter stopped immediately.

Xue Li looked at Shen Tuxiu with a sneer: "What you are relying on now is only the 20 Anyang soldiers who are about to arrive outside the city. How can I let you get what you want?"

"Only 15 Handan defenders, and these tens of thousands of soldiers from the Fourth Prince?".Shen Tuxiu realized that no matter what, the second young master was sure to win, so how could he be frightened by them.

Xue Li saw that Shentu Xiuxiu was still stubborn, so he couldn't help asking him: "What if we add the [-] imperial troops outside the city?".

"impossible".Shen Tuxiu blurted out immediately.

Xue Li looked at Zhao Wuming, Zhao Wuming looked at the furious Zhao Yu again, then looked at Shentuxiu again and slowly spit out two words: "Tiger Talisman".

"Impossible, impossible, and the Tiger Talisman cannot be in your hands."Shen Tuxiu seemed crazy for a while, but when he saw Sun Buer slowly take out the half of the tiger talisman, he was stunned.

Zhao Wuming looked at Shen Tuxiu who was stunned, and slowly explained to him: "When my son entered the palace, he sent Sun Buer to lead an army to wait for your envoy Shen Tuxiu on the only way. Now not only half of the tiger talisman is in hands, those generals of the Forbidden Army were also placed under house arrest by this young master."

"There is nothing to say about success and defeat, but I beg the fourth son to grant me a death, so as not to offend his family. In fact, in the final analysis, the enmity between you and me was all instigated by the king. Please also let the fourth son fulfill it."Shen Tuxiu seemed to have lost all his strength, and begged Zhao Wuming.

Thinking of Shen Tuxiu's actions, Zhao Wuming nodded slowly.In fact, in the final analysis, he just wanted to protect himself, and then swung the sword in his hand to his throat: "I promise you."

"Fourth brother, don't do it. If he is so cheap to apply for Tuxiu, isn't that conniving to those rebellious people?"Zhao Yu spoke immediately, but it was too late, and Shen Tuxiu had already passed away.

Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Yu: "This matter is all Shen Tuxiu's fault. Since he has already passed away from life to death, how can there be any cheap words."

"This man has committed a heinous crime. If he is not divided into five horses, and his bones are not smashed into ashes, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in Gu's heart. His family is small, so how can Gu not kill him?"When Zhao Yu said this, he was full of murderous aura, without the slightest concealment.

Looking at Zhao Yu in front of him, Zhao Wuming suddenly felt how similar he was to Zhao Zhong.Wouldn't it be cowardly to act implicated?If it is a king, if it is an emperor.Kill the chief culprit, and if others refuse to accept it, they can come and kill him, so what is there to be afraid of?

Seeing that the two were in a stalemate, the queen immediately said: "The most urgent thing is the soldiers of Anyang outside the city. You must not hurt the brotherhood because of this."

"What the mother taught me is ".The two saluted the queen at the same time, not talking too much on this topic.

Xue Li looked at the queen, Zhao Yu and Zhao Wuming: "The 20 Anyang soldiers are about to approach the city, and the old minister suggested that they take out the other half of the tiger talisman to match them, and the fourth son will go to the Forbidden Army camp to mobilize troops and horses to attack Zhao Yu."

"Guo Wei's words are justified."The queen looked at Zhao Yu and told him, "The crown prince goes to the hall and brings the tiger talisman."

"Follow the mother's will".Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately walked up the steps.Not long after, he came with the other half of the Tiger Talisman representing the Forbidden Army, and handed it to the queen with both hands.

The queen took it, and handed it to Zhao Wuming: "Time is tight, and there is no time to draft an order, so I can only hand over the tiger talisman to you. I hope you can quickly unite the forbidden army and relieve the siege of Handan."

"Children lead the decree".Zhao Wuming bowed, took half of the tiger talisman, and then put the other half together.

The queen looked around, and then sighed: "The bones of the king are not cold, but seeing the flesh and blood is about to kill each other. This is a sad thing in the world. However, the country is in crisis, but it has to be like this. The prince should lead all the officials to watch the battle on the city wall, and boost morale. country in peril".

"Children follow orders".After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he immediately looked at the officials: "All the ministers are willing to watch the battle with Gu."

"Follow the order".All the officials agreed, followed Zhao Yu and rushed out to the city wall.The Handan defenders followed closely behind.

Zhao Wuming glanced at the queen, who nodded slightly at him.Zhao Wuming immediately bowed and left with Sun Buer and the other guards.
