The people in Kyoto Prefecture are like wolves, and the people in Shenhou Prefecture are like tigers.
The officials moved out of the way, and the dozen or so cavalrymen from Kyoto Prefecture passed by like the wind. The courtiers on both sides were dumbfounded, and they really didn’t understand what happened. The people from Shenhou Prefecture followed closely behind the Kyoto Prefecture officers. Behind, the dawn light shines on the sharp blade, glowing with a penetrating cold light.
After the Shenhou Mansion, a large group of people followed. First there were several riders, and five or six knights surrounded one person. The man was riding a black horse, wearing a bamboo hat and a large cloak. Yin Tiezheng, the governor of Kyoto, also Horseback riding surrounded the man, and the courtiers even saw a graceful woman following the man in the bamboo hat. What surprised the courtiers even more was that behind these people, there was a group of people in clothes. There were at least two to three hundred tattered beggars, and the weapons in their hands were all kinds of. Except for a few people who had swords and guns, most of them had wooden sticks in their hands.
The ministers looked at each other, such a scene could not be imagined in their dreams.
The Kyoto Prefecture cavalry rushed to the wall built by the Tiger God Camp and reined in their horses, but did not directly break through the human wall built by the shields.
Lu Xiaochao, the leader of the Tiger God Camp, had naturally noticed the movement behind him and said to Xiao Shaozong: "Your Majesty, there is movement behind you. I will go take a look at the end." He turned around and headed straight over here, waiting to see a group of people from Kyoto Prefecture. The officer was behind the wall of people and frowned: "What are you going to do?"
But I heard a voice saying: "We are here to quell the rebellion!" A rider from behind rushed forward, but it was Han Tianxiao, the Wenqu captain of Shenhou Mansion.
Lu Xiaochao didn't know Han Tianxiao, but when he saw him dressed in the Shenhou Mansion, he frowned and said, "Whose order did you receive?"
"Of course it's the emperor!" Han Tianxiao said with a cold face: "The emperor has an order to kill the traitors!"
"Your Majesty?" Lu Xiaochao sneered: "The Emperor was killed by the traitor Qin Ning, so how can he give you an order? No one is allowed to do anything without the prince's order!"
At this moment, he saw the crowd behind him consciously parting ways. The man in the hat wearing a big cloak, surrounded by several knights, approached. Lu Xiaochao knew at a glance that the man in the hat was unusual and wrinkled. He frowned, holding the knife in his hand, but saw the man in the bamboo hat walking slowly towards this side, not far from Lu Xiaochao, and finally took off the bamboo hat on his head. The moment the bamboo hat was taken off, someone beside him exclaimed. : "Yes... it's the Emperor...!"
The man in the bamboo hat revealed his face, it was Emperor Longtai of the Great Chu Empire.
The courtiers on both sides were shocked and couldn't understand what was going on. But when more ministers saw the emperor, they knelt down like a reflex.
When Lu Xiaochao saw the emperor, he was also shocked, but Han Tianxiao had already sneered and said: "Lu Xiaochao, the emperor is here, why don't you get off your horse to pay homage!"
Lu Xiaochao's eyes flashed, and the officers and soldiers of Hushen Camp also looked at each other.
"He is not the emperor!" Lu Xiaochao suddenly raised his knife and pointed at Longtai: "The emperor has been killed, he is... he is pretending, come here, take down these rebels immediately!"
However, the officers and soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion did not dare to act rashly. Lu Xiaochao sternly said: "Those who disobey military orders will be killed without mercy!"
At this order, many people from the Tiger God Camp rushed towards Longtai. At this moment, they heard a voice saying: "Who dares to take action!" This voice did not come from Longtai, but from behind Lu Xiaochao. After hearing this, Lu Xiaochao felt a chill in his heart. He turned around, only to see a man slowly walking out of the military formation. The man was tall, wearing armor and holding a big sword in his hand, but he had a very ordinary face. When Lu Xiaochao saw that the other party was just an ordinary Tiger God Camp soldier, he frowned, with a fierce light in his eyes, and said coldly: "What did you say?"
But the man slowly walked towards Lu Xiaochao and said calmly: "Lu Xiaochao, I never thought that you, who have been following me for many years, are actually Xiao Shaozong's spies buried in the Tiger God Camp, and you also led the Tiger God Camp to help the emperor do evil. Today's Japan The door will naturally be cleared!"
Lu Xiaochao felt that the man's voice was extremely familiar, and his body suddenly shook, and he lost his voice: "You... you're not dead?"
The man raised his hand and tore off a piece of flesh from his face. The scene was horrifying. The officers and soldiers nearby were shocked. However, after the piece of skin was torn off, a face that was very familiar to the officers and soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion was revealed. The murdered leader of the Tiger God Camp, Xue Lingfeng.
Xue Lingfeng is still alive!
Lu Xiaochao opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, but no words came out.
When the officers and soldiers saw Xue Lingfeng showing his true appearance, they were all stunned. No one thought that the murdered Xue Lingfeng was still alive. Suddenly they heard someone shouting: "It's... it's Commander Xue, Commander Xue... Commander Xue is still alive" Stay alive!"
The sound woke up the other officers and soldiers, and many of them showed joy and cheered: "It's Commander Xue, it's Commander Xue!"
Xue Lingfeng has been in charge of the Tiger God Camp for many years. He has great military achievements, and becoming the commander of the Tiger God Camp is enough to convince the public. He has treated soldiers like a son for many years, is an upright man, and has unparalleled prestige in the Tiger God Camp.
The news of Xue Lingfeng's previous murder reached Hushen Camp, and everyone in Hushen Camp was extremely sad. Lu Xiaochao took the opportunity to rise to power. Although he also had prestige, compared to Xue Lingfeng's prestige in Hushen Camp, it was just a mere pat on the back. Not on.
At this time, the joy in the hearts of the officers and soldiers can be imagined when they saw that Xue Lingfeng had come back to life.
Many generals who had a close friendship with Xue Lingfeng had already shed tears. One general had already rushed out, pointed at Lu Xiaochao and said: "Lu Xiaochao, you said Commander Xue was killed, what happened? Today you I need to give an explanation to the three thousand Tiger God Camp soldiers!"
Lu Xiaochao's face was ashen. He looked into the distance, only to find that Xiao Shaozong was not at his original location and he didn't know where he was going.
He burst out laughing, turned over and dismounted, clenched the knife in his hand, stared at the approaching Xue Lingfeng and said, "Since you are still alive, why do you dare not show up for so long?"
"When it's time to show up, I will show up naturally." Xue Lingfeng raised her sword horizontally: "I just want to see what tricks you are playing. Now that the trump cards have been revealed, it's time to end it."
Lu Xiaochao smiled and said: "Yes, it's time to end it!" With a low roar, he rushed towards Xue Lingfeng with a knife.
Xue Lingfeng's eyes froze, and he stepped forward and slashed with his sword. The two swords intersected, and there was a "choking" sound. Sparks flew everywhere. The two of them changed their moves at the same time, but the surrounding officers and soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion had already surrounded them. , lest Lu Xiaochao take the opportunity to escape.
The Xuanwu Camp attacking the city was not aware of the changes that happened later. Qin Zhong waved his sword and commanded the soldiers to attack the city. Arrows from both sides were flying in the sky. Although the soldiers of the Yulin Camp at the head of the city all turned into archers, the arrows of the Xuanwu Camp were also for a time. The city was suppressed, and the shield soldiers were already within easy reach of the city wall.
The first ladder was opened behind the city wall, and the soldiers below immediately secured the ladder. The infantry behind the archers rushed to the bottom of the city wall like a tide amidst shouts.
After all, the number of troops defending the city was too small. Qin Zhong deliberately extended the width of the attack. In order to prevent the enemy from using ladders to reach the top of the city, hundreds of Yulin troops had to disperse. As a result, the arrows at the top of the city were blocked. The threat of the arrow to the soldiers and horses below the city was greatly weakened. Several ladders were placed against the city wall. The soldiers of Xuanwu Battalion were brave and fearless. They rushed straight to the bottom of the city and began to climb to the top of the city with the help of ladders.
Qining shot all two boxes of arrows, knowing that he could not withstand the attack of troops ten times his own. Although several ballistas on the top of the city continued to shoot huge arrows, in addition to increasing casualties, they really could not stop the enemy. military offensive.
He raised his head and looked into the distance, and suddenly saw an obvious change in the formation at the Tiger God Camp. At dawn, even though the distance was far away, Qining still saw the commotion over there. He suddenly realized something and couldn't help but said happily: "Reinforcements." Here we come, the reinforcements are here!”
When the twelve hours arrived, he did not see the situation he expected to appear. Qining thought that his gamble was a total failure, but at this moment he finally discovered that what was supposed to come had finally come.
Xue Lingfeng's sword was fierce. Although Lu Xiaochao was also good at swordsmanship, he could not compare with Xue Lingfeng. After only ten moves, Lu Xiaochao could only parry. Xue Lingfeng became more domineering with each sword and shouted coldly: " If you were deceived, I could have spared your life, but you have lowered yourself and harbored treasonous intentions for a long time. How could I tolerate you!" With a loud shout, he slashed with another knife, and Lu Xiaochao raised his knife to block it. , Xue Lingfeng's broadsword slashed hard on Lu Xiaochao's blade. Lu Xiaochao felt his whole arm numb, and his heart was horrified. When he looked up, Xue Lingfeng's broadsword had already cut along the inside of the blade. Lu Xiaochao knew something was wrong and wanted to retreat. Withdrawing, there was a chill on the neck, and the big knife in Xue Lingfeng's hand was already pressed against Lu Xiaochao's neck.
Lu Xiaochao knew that the situation was over, so he loosened his grip and dropped the sword. Only then did he realize that his tiger's mouth had been cracked open and blood was flowing out.
Xue Lingfeng said loudly: "It's up to everyone to decide whether you die or not." He looked around and said loudly: "Should he die?"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The officers and soldiers of the Tiger God Camp all around shouted in unison.
Xue Lingfeng sighed: "Lu Xiaochao, don't blame me!" The broadsword slashed hard, blood spurted out, and Lu Xiaochao's throat had been cut. Lu Xiaochao staggered back two steps, sat down on the ground, and raised his hands to cover it. Throat, he soon fell back to the ground, his body twitched, and then stopped moving.
Xue Lingfeng held the knife in her hand, looked at Lu Xiaochao's body, closed her eyes, but soon opened her eyes, looked at the Xuanwu Camp that was attacking the city, and said loudly: "Ming Jin, Ming Jin!"
Soon the sound of golden roar came from the front. The sound was harsh and spread far away. The Yulin camp who was bravely attacking the city were surprised when they heard the sound of golden roar coming from behind. It is common sense for military strategists. If you disobey, you will have to engage in military law. The soldiers behind the siege troops immediately turned around. The soldiers who had already attacked the city and even started to climb towards the top of the city did not dare to continue the attack when they heard the sound of the golden roar.
Qining heard the sound of Jin Ming and saw the enemy troops beginning to retreat. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered a ceasefire.
At this moment, I saw a figure advancing among the chaotic army without retreating. The figure was so agile that in the chaotic crowd, he passed through the gaps in the crowd like a loach and came straight to the city.
Xiao Shaozong!
Qi Ning sneered, took a feather arrow, bent his bow and pointed it at the ghostly Xiao Shaozong, and shot out, the arrow was fast and urgent, heading straight for Xiao Shaozong!
