Hua Meng and Cheetah were ordered by Li Hong to resist the rangers. In an instant, they were left with only three nervous loyal ministers, Di Renjie, Li Qiao and Yao Chong.
They are so nervous not because they are afraid of death, but because they know that the three of them bear too much responsibility at this time. If something unexpected happens, if His Majesty makes any mistake, the three of them will die even if they are killed. Ten thousand times, I'm afraid it can't make up for Datang's losses.
Wang Xiaojie, who was the first to leave with Du Shenyan and others earlier than the rest of them, although he was also from the military, faced the obstruction and fighting of the rangers at this moment, he was already too busy to care for himself and could not bridge the distance between him and Li Hong. , ran over to protect Li Hong.
Rangers are different from the army, so the city guards have always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with them. Although they have an advantage in numbers, and some guards have bows and crossbows, even so, when encountering these soaring, moving, dodging, People who can move very quickly do not dare to use crossbows wantonly.
After all, the road along the Luoyang River embankment is only so wide, and the people have basically gathered together. They have used crossbows wantonly and have injured several of their own people. So what they can use now is to fight against those rangers with numbers. , so as not to let those rangers break through their protective circle and get close to His Majesty.
Facing the rangers who could go up and down and were extremely agile, the guards were at a disadvantage in the confrontation. Following Di Renjie's reminder, they quickly took out their crossbows again. As soon as they saw a black arrow above their heads, Shadow, no matter what, he clicked the bow and crossbow.
But even so, in the end, individual rangers were able to break through the encirclement of the military guards. Especially with Di Renjie's reminder, the rangers further determined their target, which was the four people surrounded by the military guards.
"Di Renjie is here, who are you?" Di Renjie looked at the military guards not far ahead who were almost overwhelmed. Seeing that the reinforcements had not arrived yet, he had no choice but to take a step forward, hoping to attract the attention of the rangers with himself. This creates an opportunity for Li Hong to break through.
But just as Di Renjie finished shouting, he heard Yao Chong and Li Qiao starting to shout loudly: "I am Yao Chong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, what do you want?"
"Do you know that assassinating court officials is a capital crime? Aren't you afraid that Li Qiao, the Yushitai doctor, will impeach you..." Li Qiao looked at Di Renjie and Yao Chong, suddenly nervously stretched out his arm and pointed, just in time to break through the defense of the military guards. shouted the ranger rushing towards them.
Listening to the words of Di Renjie and Yao Chong to attract ranger targets and protect themselves, Li Hong felt a little relieved. But when he heard Li Qiao's words, Li Hong couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. Li Qiao was just here to make fun of him, right? The Desperate Ranger is not even afraid of death, so he is still afraid of your impeachment
But Li Hong couldn't help but laugh at this moment. The short blade in the hand of the ranger who broke out of the encirclement flashed with cold light. Seeing Li Qiao's trembling fingers filled with anger, pointing at him in panic, he laughed ferociously and flew towards him.
What he and Li Qiao didn't expect was that the ranger flew over quickly, but flew out even faster.
Li Qiao watched the ranger rush over. He was no longer timid at this time, but opened his arms to protect Li Hong. His old eyes widened with anger, obviously wanting to remember the ranger's face until he died.
But just as the ferocious smile on the ranger's face was getting closer and closer to him, and he saw that the short blade in his hand had been extended and stabbed towards his chest, then Li Qiao heard a bang, and the ranger's ferocious smile suddenly appeared on his face. It went away for a while, and then curled up and rolled on the ground like a shrimp.
Li Hong glanced at Li Qiao with a sullen face, who still looked at death, and said with a sneer: "Now you know how terrible the consequences of your close relationship are, right?"
While speaking, Li Hong grabbed the shoulders of several military guards who were originally protecting them and pulled them over one by one, and then snatched the crossbows from their hands without any explanation.
"All assassins tonight will be killed without mercy!" Li Hong held a crossbow in both hands and looked at the rangers who broke through again and rushed towards Di Renjie and Yao Chong. He raised his arms and two arrows flew like lightning in the night sky. Got out.
As a result, the two rangers who had just rushed to Di Renjie and Yao Chong fell down in response. One was shot by an arrow between the eyebrows, and the other was shot in the throat. He covered his neck and went weakly. After taking two steps forward, he fell to the ground.
"Come here." Li Hong looked at Di Renjie and Yao Chong who had unconsciously raised their arms to resist the sword in their hands and shouted. Then he turned around and kicked Li Qiao in the knee, leaving him unprepared. Li Qiao suddenly became shorter.
Almost at the same time that Li Qiao's head lowered, a horizontal knife appeared where Li Qiao's head had just been. But at this moment, as Li Qiao's head disappeared, the ranger who had jumped into the air could not hold back, and the horizontal knife After drawing a circle in the air, he saw an arrow like a poisonous snake pointing at him.
Before he could dodge, Li Hong had already pulled the trigger. The ranger who assassinated Li Qiao was shot in the middle of the eyebrow by a powerful crossbow. He instantly leaned back. Almost at the same time, Li Hong's legs were lifted up in the night sky. Leaving an afterimage in the air, he kicked the ranger in the abdomen, causing the ranger to fly out and hit another ranger running towards him with his back.
"Follow me and don't run around. You are a great minister. In the end, you asked me, the emperor, to protect you. Tell me how powerful you are. Go back and think about how to thank me." Li Hong said about the crossbow He is familiar with them, even more familiar than any of the military guards here. These crossbows, which are slightly inferior to the crossbows on the battlefield, are like toys in Li Hong's hands.
He held two crossbows in his hands. While teasing his ministers, he kept pointing his hands in the air. With the sound of the bow strings popping through the air, the rangers who broke through came and went. In a short period of time, no one could approach Li Hong and the four of them.
"Your Majesty, be careful." Di Renjie looked at Li Hong in front of him and lowered his head to look at the crossbow. He shouted in a low voice and took a step forward to get in front of Li Hong.
A ranger took advantage of Li Hong's arrows to run out. When he unconsciously lowered his head to check, he had quietly approached Li Hong.
But before Di Renjie could get in front of Li Hong, he saw Li Hong suddenly raise his arm, and the crossbow in his hand was directly smashed by Li Hong. The ranger who rushed over obviously did not expect that the man who had lost his arrow would The crossbow could still be used in this way, so he was hit straight on. While feeling a warmth on his face, he saw another crossbow also hit his head. His vision went dark for an instant, and the ranger He fainted immediately.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning. The moment the ranger fainted, he only felt that the cross sword in his hand had been snatched away by the young man, and then he felt a warm feeling on his cheek again, and a head. Before he lost consciousness, it fell into his arms. He was sure that it was definitely not his head that fell into his arms.
Li Hong, who was also covered in blood, held the horizontal knife in his hand without even looking at the headless corpse still standing next to him. He strode across the body of the ranger lying on the ground. The horizontal knife in his hand was unreasonable. It struck straight down, and the powerful force shocked Li Hong's hand. He almost couldn't hold the horizontal knife in his hand.
Di Renjie, who originally wanted to protect Li Hong, failed to rush to Li Hong. However, in a split second, His Majesty killed two rangers in a row. Especially when he saw His Majesty's majestic body stepping forward, and the headless corpse. While spraying blood, he slowly fell over in the direction of him, Li Qiao, and Yao Chong. He was stunned and hurriedly backed away. He held Li Qiao with one hand and Yao Chong with the other. The three of them staggered. He staggered around the fallen headless corpse, and then hurriedly ran behind Li Hong.
Although His Majesty's skills are unparalleled, there are still many enemies, and the military guards are no match for them. They are as if they are made of paper. They can only rely on their huge numerical advantage to temporarily prevent most of the rangers from rushing in.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, protect your majesty and leave us alone." Di Renjie looked at the few military guards who were still protecting him, looking back and forth with vigilant eyes.
Behind him are His Majesty, Mr. Di and others to protect, and in front of him is Mr. Wang Xiaojie of the Criminal Department who has not gone far. He is leading dozens of military guards and is fighting with a few rangers. This makes the only few remaining military guards He didn't dare to run around casually, so he could only stick closely behind Li Hong, Di Renjie and others.
Li Hong, whose eyes were red with bloodshed, ignored the pain in his palms and looked at the ranger in front of him who looked equally shocked. He sneered and raised his knife to kill him again.
Although he has fought and killed on the battlefield for many years, compared with these rangers who have practiced martial arts since childhood, there is still a gap. Even with the dazzling and unpredictable movement skills, Li Hong can't even compare to his gentleness.
However, Li Hong has always been fully confident in his alertness to danger and the moment to avoid killing moves, which he has honed on the battlefield for so many years. Otherwise, he would not have been able to move freely on the battlefield after so many years.
The ranger obviously didn't expect that among these gentle officials, who usually lived a life of wealth and luxury, they could actually have such good skills.
Seeing Li Hong striding towards him, with such a domineering attitude that he looked down on the world, the ranger was so frightened that he had to prepare for it.
The horizontal knives collided together again, and the wide-opening and closing moves honed on the battlefield, although they did not have an advantage when fighting alone compared to the deceptive ranger moves, their power and high efficiency just made up for Li Hong's shortcoming is that he is not as agile as the ranger.
Although the horizontal sword in Li Hong's hand is not as beautiful as the dance in the hand of the ranger, Li Hong can use the horizontal sword perfectly and skillfully with both hands, so when the ranger separated the horizontal sword in Li Hong's hand and looked at The horizontal sword was separated by the strength of his sword. Just when he was about to take another step with joy, he saw from the corner of his eye that the horizontal sword that had been separated by him appeared in the left hand of this domineering young man. Before he had time to react, what was going on? , I felt a pain in my waist.
So the knight hurriedly handed the horizontal sword to Li Hong's heart, hoping to attract Li Hong's attention with this false move, and then avoid this despicable young man. When he held the horizontal sword in his left hand and wanted to cut it in half, Then I heard the murderous voice of the young man in front of me: "It's too late."
With a bang, the ranger felt as if his face had been hit by a hammer, his nose and eyes instantly overflowed with snot, and stars were shining in front of his eyes. His mind was buzzing for a moment, and the horizontal knife in his hand lost its accuracy in an instant.
"Your Majesty, I'm late." A gentle voice suddenly sounded behind Li Hong. Before Li Hong could fight off the ranger and turn around, he saw a long sword suddenly coming out from his side. The ranger who had just fought with him , staggering back, although he dodged the backhand knife from Li Hong's left hand, he did not escape Nuxia Wen's gentle sword. He clutched his heart and fell down slowly with reluctance.
