For a moment, arrows shot towards the rebels who had climbed halfway like locusts. The distance was so close that almost none of the arrows were missed. The rebels who fell from the ladder hit the rebels below, crushing and killing many people.
Originally, the chances of victory were within their grasp, but suddenly the banners on the top of the city were unfurled, and the rebels were frightened and scattered. They retreated one after another and trampled on each other, causing many casualties.
"General Li, we have been tricked!" The subordinates were also terrified, and even their voices were trembling.
Li Hao was so angry that he almost fainted, but his anger made him grip the sword even tighter. The knife was held in the air like a banner.
"Whoever dares to retreat, kill!"
But his voice was drowned out by the screams of the rebels.
"Damn, afraid of death!"
He swung his broadsword and swished a few times, killing five or six rebels on the ground. Seeing that the coach was crazy, the rebels had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to attack the city. But above the city tower, Rong Chang'an had already made sufficient preparations, and it seemed that there were endless arrows to shoot, and the rebels who climbed the ladder were tantamount to courting death.
"General, there is no way to continue attacking like this. Even if all the troops are exhausted, they will not be able to attack the north gate!" When his subordinates saw the mountains of corpses under the tower, it seemed like hell, the muscles at the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching Twice.
At this time, Li Hao's mind had been pampered by anger, and a row of steel teeth were almost crushed. With fiery eyes, he searched for the figure of "Concubine Xue" on the top of the city, wishing he could swallow her in one gulp.
"They have archers, and we also have archers. It's better to let our archers suppress them, and then attack the city."
Li Hao glanced at his subordinates, suddenly lost: "Why didn't I think of it!"
Subordinate: "It's not too late to think about it now."
Therefore, Li Hao ordered the archers to be on the side, and the rebels who were attacking the city to be on the other side. The archers released arrows randomly, suppressed the archers on the top of the city, and then attacked the city.
Li Hao also had more than 5,000 archers around him. Hearing the order, they formed three rows. Immediately, arrows flew down the city like locusts. Rong Chang'an did not expect that Li Hao could organize a counterattack. The guards lacked protection and many were shot to death.
Hearing the tragic cry and seeing the pained expression, Rong Changan was heartbroken.
Just after this round of shooting, the Guards lost nearly a thousand people. The rebels lost nearly five thousand men. But the rebels had more soldiers, and the guards had fewer. All the city gates are very tense, where to mobilize troops to reinforce the north gate? If there are not enough soldiers, the North Gate may fall.
"Lieutenant Long, send a team to dismantle the doors and windows in the palace to make shields to protect the soldiers from the arrows!"
Rong Chang'an's quick wit made Vice General Long's eyes shine, but he had some doubts: "Can the doors and windows of this palace city be dismantled?"
What time is this, still looking at the doors and windows!
"The palace can be repaired in the future, but how can it be repaired if there are no people?" Rong Changan said emotionally, "Didn't you see the corpses of the guards on the ground, are there more and more of them? If the king were here, he would agree with us to do this." of."
Her words "I'm gone, how to fix it" moved Lieutenant Long: "Okay, I'll go and tear down the doors and windows!" He shouted skillfully, "My subordinates, go down the tower!"
Riding on his horse, Li Hao saw a general near the archway at the top of the city, wearing a silver armor and a cloak. He fixed his eyes and asked his subordinates: "Look, is that bitch Xue Guifei?"
The subordinate had good eyesight, took a step forward, narrowed his eyes, looked at it carefully, and smiled on his face: "Report to General, that person is Concubine Xue!"
Li Hao smiled strangely: "Concubine Xue, it's time to send you to the west!"
He took down the bow and arrow from the horse, bent the bow and set the arrow, and drew the bow completely, like the fifteenth moon.
The eyeballs of the subordinate next to him rolled, and suddenly the corner of his mouth curled up into an evil smile: "General Li, if you miss the point, you definitely won't be able to kill Concubine Xue."
Li Hao thought that his subordinates were laughing at him for his poor shooting skills, so he squinted his eyes: "You want to die, don't you?"
The subordinates quickly explained: "General, I have a way, even if I miss Concubine Xue's vitals, I can kill her."
If so, it would be great.
"What method?" Li Hao asked impatiently.
The subordinates took out a small white bottle from their pockets and handed it to Li Hao: "General, this is a poisonous medicine. If even a little bit of it gets on the wound on her body, it will kill her suddenly. If it is If the general smears this poison on the arrowhead, Concubine Xue Gui, even a god, cannot be saved."
As he said that, his subordinates laughed out loud again.
Li Hao took the bottle, looked at it, and showed a satisfied smile to his subordinates: "Then do as you want!"
The subordinates then applied the poison on the arrowhead, which turned the whitish arrowhead into purple red. Then he handed the arrow back to Li Hao.
"General, Concubine Xue Gui's life is on this arrow!"
Li Hao took the arrow, looked at it again, put it on the bow, and aimed at the "Concubine Xue" on the top of the city. Looking at the kindness, with a whoosh, the poisonous arrow was released.
On the top of the city, Rong Chang'an just went to comfort the soldiers, where did he hear the sound of bowstrings!
"Be careful, there are arrows coming!"
Before Rong Changan could react, a figure like a flower rushed in front of her, and the arrow was like a shooting star, brushing past the man's arm. With a bark, he shot in the lower abdomen of a soldier. The soldier let out a groan and fell to the ground.
"Zixuan!" The king's heart almost stopped beating when he saw Zixuan blocking the arrow for "Concubine Xue".
Rong Changan's eyes slid across Zixuan's face. Her eyes were no longer dull, her expression was no longer stiff, she finally recovered! Rong Changan no longer had to carry a heavy psychological burden.
Rong Changan's nose was sore, she really wanted to cry happily.
"Zixuan, do you recognize me?"
Zixuan smiled sweetly: "My royal father said that you are Concubine Xue, the emperor's new favorite, and a female general who can fight well, so I wanted to come up to see what happened."
It turned out that Zixuan did not think that "Xue'er" was Rong Changan. If she knew that "Xue'er" was Rong Changan, how would she react
The king hurried over to look at Zixuan's arm: "Zixuan, did that arrow hit you? Let the king have a look."
The king didn't care if Zixuan agreed or not, so he rolled up her sleeves. Zixuan blushed, Jiao Didi said:
"Father, there are a lot of people here."
Seeing that Zixuan's arm didn't have any wounds, the king felt at ease: "I'm scared to death!"
puff!
The soldier who was hit by the arrow suddenly opened his mouth and spurted blood, his eyes were white, and he died with a puff.
"Concubine Xue Gui, come and see his wound!" A guard soldier shouted in horror.
Rong Changan walked over in a hurry, only to see that the lower abdomen of the deceased immediately festered like mud and emitted a pungent stench.
"Poison Arrow!" Someone exclaimed.
Rong Changan, Zixuan, and the king were all stunned.
This Li Hao is really insane, he even put poison on the arrowhead!
The king hugged Zixuan, as if he was afraid that she would slip away, and murmured in his mouth. He didn't know whether he was talking to Zixuan or talking to himself: "It's just that little, it's just that little! I won't let you Half a step away from me."
If it wasn't for Zixuan just now, the one who got hit by the arrow would have been Rong Changan, and the one lying on the ground now must be her. Seeing the miserable conditions of the soldiers on the ground, Rong Changan was not only frightened for a while, but the tip of his nose turned cold and turned white.
"Hide this soldier well in a coffin, and when the rebels are defeated, we will give him a grand funeral."
"Okay, concubine!"
Other soldiers carried the dead down the tower.
