Originally, Niu Hong thought that with this secret way, if the gods broke into the palace without knowing it, then this battle should be won with ease. But I never thought that this time I just came out of the secret path, and I encountered an enemy. And looking at the opponent's combat effectiveness and reaction speed, they are definitely elite soldiers. Otherwise, it is impossible to make the most correct choice in such a moment.
Looking at the few people who were going away, and the two enemy soldiers who were trapped by his own soldiers, but were still able to resist stubbornly, Niu Hong's face was pale, and he gave a cold snort, but rushed directly towards him. One of the besieged enemy soldiers. Before the opponent could react, Niu Hong slammed the sledgehammer in his hand, directly smashing the opponent into a bloody corpse.
"Drink--!" There was a loud shout, but it was another soldier who was besieged. Seeing his companion was smashed to death by Niu Hong with a hammer, his eyes were red immediately, and he rushed out of the heavy encirclement. Coming out, carrying a single knife and culling towards Niu Hong.
Seeing the enemy who had already rushed in front of him, Niu Hong snorted coldly, and hit the soldier with a blood-stained sledgehammer in his hand, slashing directly on the soldier's body. The blood sprinkled in the air, and Niu Hong became a bloody man in a blink of an eye.
Niu Hong glanced at the men on the left and right, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. There were at least a hundred people around the two enemies just now, and there was no way to take these two people. Fortunately, before this operation, the army of Wang Xin Wang Zhaozhen had been moved away. If you really played against the army of Wang Xin Wang, you would have no chance of winning at all.
He took a deep breath and pressed his thoughts down for the time being. Now that the enemy has discovered it, it can only be turned into a strong attack. Looking back at the imperial dining room, there are now two to three hundred soldiers and horses coming out of the secret tunnel. Niu Hong said in a deep voice, "Everyone will set up a line of defense on the spot, waiting for the assembly of the army."
According to the information obtained before, the biggest enemy in this sneak attack on Jiangling is only the guards and guards of the powerful enforcement department of the Zhao Family Spy Department under the leadership of Yao Da and others.
In the palace, there are at least thousands of well-trained fighters. Now that his own actions have been discovered, Niu Hong is not arrogant enough to rely on these hundreds of people to deal with thousands of enemies. Only wait for the army to come out of the secret path before launching an attack.
Although the soldiers and horses under Niu Hong's opponent were disappointed just now, in general, these soldiers are still qualified soldiers. After Niu Hong gave the order, everyone followed Niu Hong's order and laid a defensive line around the imperial dining room, ready to meet the enemy's attack in the palace.
And after Wang Tao blew the bamboo whistle, the entire palace suddenly became commotion. In the dark night, countless black shadows followed the whistle to the imperial dining room. And in the palace on the other side of the palace, His Majesty Song Zhao Gou, who was bored and frustrated, also suddenly raised his head and looked at the black shadow that flashed by from time to time outside the window. A light flashed in his eyes, but he soon returned to normal. color. He turned his head and saw that several of his concubines and eunuchs were discussing because of the noise outside the palace. Zhao Gou immediately shouted in a deep voice: "You have to talk more!"
Zhao Gou was still very majestic in front of these eunuchs and concubines. After being drunk by Zhao Gou, the flustered concubines, maids, and eunuchs immediately lowered their heads and honestly stopped speaking. And Zhao Gou looked at all the people in the palace with his hands behind his back and made a very secret gesture. Behind the screen behind Zhao Gou, a black shadow disappeared in a flash.
At the same time, Wang Tao and the other two soldiers were already far away from the imperial dining room. When they turned around, they saw that no one was chasing them. Wang Tao was relieved and made a stop gesture, and stopped with the other two soldiers. . Wang Tao shouted to the two soldiers in a deep voice: "You two will immediately send Princess Chitose back to the palace. Tell the brothers that you must guard the palace strictly to ensure the safety of the two princesses, understand?"
"Yes!" The two soldiers saluted Wang Tao and yelled at Wang Tao. Immediately, Wang Tao turned his head and said to Luo Yue'er: "Wang Hao, thousands of years old, I will go back to see the situation. You must live back to Princess Wu and never come out again." Wang Tao is now the only general in the palace. Now that this situation has occurred in the palace, he must go back to preside over the overall situation, so he can only let Luo Yueer go back first.
Although Luo Yueer is usually naughty and self-willed, she also knows the seriousness of the matter at this critical moment. Luo Yueer nodded to Wang Tao and said, "General Wang Tao, don't worry! I will go back now."
Wang Tao waved his hand at them. Seeing Wang Tao's gesture, the two soldiers immediately stepped forward, and walked back with Luo Yueer and several maids. After watching Luo Yueer and the others leave, Wang Tao's complexion immediately sank, and he drew his saber from his waist casually, turned and hurried towards the imperial dining room. As soon as he walked a few steps, a whirring sound came from his ears. Wang Tao's eyes were cold, and he immediately lifted his sword across his chest and shouted, "Who?"
"Ah! It's General Wang Tao." As soon as he heard the sound of breaking through the air, there were a dozen more figures beside Wang Tao, all wearing black light armor, and bowed directly to Wang Tao.
As soon as he saw the costumes of these people, Wang Tao recognized them immediately. These people are all guards, and they are also the most powerful masters. Usually there are only more than a hundred people in the palace. These more than ten people should have heard about Wang Tao just now. The whistle came. Wang Tao nodded and shouted to the guards in a deep voice: "An enemy appears in the palace, immediately summon all the soldiers and horses in the palace to besiege the imperial dining room. Also, send someone to notify the adults outside the palace."
"Yes!" Although Wang Tao is not their commander, Wang Tao, as the son of general Wang Hu, is also a rare high-ranking general in the city. These black guards naturally obey Wang Tao's orders.
After Wang Tao's order was issued, all the guards immediately dissipated and disappeared into the night. After seeing these guards leaving, Wang Tao kept rushing towards the imperial dining room without saying a word.
By the time Wang Tao arrived outside the imperial dining room, the battle had already begun. Fighting was going on everywhere on the wall and gate of the imperial dining room. Obviously, these enemies who suddenly appeared in the palace were a regular army, including swordsmen and archers. In contrast, the guards of the guards only heard the whistle. Those who came one after another were unable to cooperate with each other without the commander. Although the two sides were equal in number, the guards were still unable to attack the small imperial dining room and suffered heavy losses.
After Wang Tao arrived, he naturally would not sit back and watch the situation continue, and immediately shouted at the guards of the Guards who were continuing to attack the imperial dining room: "I am Wang Tao! Everyone must obey my orders not to attack indiscriminately. Retreat first." Now the offensive of these guard soldiers is too messy, and only if these guard soldiers retreat and reorganize their position can they launch an effective attack.
Hearing Wang Tao's name was announced, the guards immediately retreated from the temporary battlefield, but they still surrounded the imperial dining room. In the imperial dining room, Niu Hong, who was instructing the soldiers who had just been driven out of the secret road to fill the line of defense, was also taken aback when he heard this shout.
Since he wanted to deal with Wang Jun, Niu Hong naturally investigated the main generals of Wang Jun, and soon Niu Hong remembered who Wang Tao was.
"Son of Wang Hu?" Niu Hong said, his face sank. Although Wang Tao is not very old, Niu Hong did not dare to despise him. After all, Wang Tao is also behind the famous general. Niu Hong turned his head and instructed an officer-level subordinate: "You come to command those who come out later, I will go ahead and see the situation." After that, Niu Hong turned his head and hurried towards the gate of the imperial dining room.
The gate of the imperial dining room had been blocked by Niu Hong's orders. Niu Hong came to the gate, carrying a sledgehammer weighing more than 80 kilograms in his hand, but he jumped directly onto the wall and stared at the outside of the imperial dining room. Look over. At this moment, countless torches had been lit outside the imperial dining room, illuminating the surroundings as bright as daylight, so Niu Hong could see the situation outside at a glance.
I saw the enemies who had already had a fierce fight with their subordinates before, and at this moment they had begun to slowly gather at the entrance of the alley outside the imperial dining room, forming a formation. Niu Hong looked at the formation, his face became more solemn. Obviously, Wang Tao is not an easy person. Outside the imperial dining room, there are only a few hundred people. Before it was a piece of loose sand, now under the command of Wang Tao, it is beginning to gather slowly. Get up, this son is quite a general, as expected, it is a tiger father without a dog son
However, Niu Hong would not be afraid of it. On the contrary, he showed excitement on his face. He turned around and glanced around. At this moment, there were thousands of soldiers gathered in the imperial dining room, and the small imperial dining room was already a little too crowded. In the imperial dining room, soldiers are still rushing out continuously. If there are so many people in Niu Hong's hands, Wang Tao's approach will definitely be no problem. Unfortunately, the soldiers and horses in Niu Hong's hands are far beyond Wang Tao's expectations. Niu Hong immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Remove the obstacles! Let's rush out!"
With Niu Hong's drink, the soldiers waiting at the door immediately removed all the obstacles blocking the door, and immediately afterwards, they shouted for killing and slew outside.
And outside the imperial dining room, Wang Tao, who was reorganizing his formation, was also taken aback by the opponent's hand. Niu Hong’s estimation is correct. In Wang Tao’s view, the entire imperial dining room is at most more than 500 people. As long as Wang Tao builds up his troops, plus the guards who are constantly coming from various places in the palace at this moment, they will win. These enemies are simply a piece of cake. But I didn't expect the other party to dare to rush out. But what surprised Wang Tao most was that the opponents rushed out far more than Wang Tao had estimated before.
"Could it be that there is a secret passage leading to the outside in this imperial dining room?" Wang Tao is not a fool. Seeing this, he immediately guessed the reason for it, and suddenly he was shocked in a cold sweat.
If this is the case, then this matter is far beyond Wang Tao's control. It is impossible to predict how many enemies will be killed from this secret passage. Maybe, all the guards in the palace will come together. Can't stop these enemies. Immediately, Wang Tao waved his hand and turned to the guards under his opponent and shouted: "Retreat and notify others, and retreat to the apse."
The apse Wang Tao said was the palace where Wu Meier and Luo Yueer lived. Wang Tao’s decision was undoubtedly the most correct one. Instead of putting all his hands out here, it’s better to retreat to the apse and gather strength to protect the two. A princess and a one-shot man and so on. It is the most important task for Wang Tao and others to protect the safety of the two princesses and the one-shot man.
The guards had their own means of communication. Immediately after Wang Tao issued the order, several guardsmen of the guards took out bamboo whistles similar to those used by Wang Tao before and blew them. As the whistle sounded, in various places in the palace, the dark shadows who had been rushing toward this side immediately turned around and began to rush toward the apse.
Seeing that Wang Tao was so decisive, Niu Hong's heart flashed with approval, and then Niu Hong immediately stopped the soldiers under him, then took out a silk scarf from his arms and opened it on the palm of his hand. Firelight studied carefully. The map drawn on this silk scarf is exactly the map of the palace. Niu Hong studied the map carefully for a moment, then raised his head directly, pointed in another direction, and shouted: "Everyone, follow me."
When he said that, he raised the sledgehammer and rushed in that direction. If Wang Tao was still here at the moment, he would find that the direction Niu Hong was rushing was exactly where the Emperor Zhao Gou's palace was located.
Because of the previous order given by Wang Tao, all the guards and soldiers in the palace had already turned toward the apse, so Niu Hong didn't encounter any obstacles along the way. Occasionally, I encountered a few guard soldiers, and compared with the more than a thousand soldiers under Niu Hong's men, there was a big difference, so Niu Hong quickly rushed to the outside of the hall where Zhao Go was located.
Looking up at the palace where His Majesty was, Niu Hong was also relieved. He raised his hand and made a gesture to the person behind him, motioning the soldiers to stop, but he himself took a deep breath and walked towards the palace.
Just when Niu Hong was about to reach the gate of the palace, he heard a squeak. The gate of the palace that had been closed before opened by himself. A man wearing a golden dragon robe appeared at the gate of the palace with a trace on his face. Looking at Niu Hong and the soldiers outside the palace with a smile. Niu Hong was taken aback first, but when he saw the golden dragon robe on the man, Niu Hong immediately bowed down to the man and shouted: "Finally, Niu Hong, see my emperor and my emperor! Long live! Long live! "
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!" Niu Hong knelt like this, and the soldiers behind him also knelt down and shouted at the man in unison.
In this palace, there can only be one person wearing a golden dragon robe, and that is, today's Majesty Zhao Go looks at these people kneeling in front of him. Although he always keeps a calm smile on his face, he is very excited in his heart. . As the Emperor of Song Dynasty, in the past six years of his reign, there was first chaos and chaos, and then he was forced to disrupt the situation by the believer Zhao Zhen, knowing that he was in the army of the believer.
Now my Majesty simply doesn't live up to his name. Now, Zhao Gou finally tasted the feeling of power in his hand. These soldiers in front of them are all loyal to their soldiers and horses. Although Zhao Gou felt this feeling of holding the military power in his hands, he still liked it, although it was not the first time in his life. Zhao Gou wanted to feel this way forever, and didn't want to lose it again.
Immediately, Zhao Gou clenched his fists vigorously, tried to keep his expression calm, smiled and raised Niu Hong, and said: "General Niu Hong has worked hard! This time, General Niu Hong has done a great job in helping him, which is the hero of Sheji. , Set an example for the people of the world!"
