When archers appeared on the surrounding square walls, Shen Lindong's face suddenly turned pale. He suddenly had an ominous premonition. His years of vigilance against Zhang Xiaowu made him immediately alert, and he immediately shouted: "Leave them alone, kill Zhang Xiaowu."
!Kill Zhang Xiaowu! Ding Zhen, kill him!"
But Shen Lindong's crazy shouting made the soldiers around him even more confused. Their confidence was severely damaged, and the idea of escape was better than continuing to fight. Of course, facing the enemies on the wall, they did not want to fight anymore. At this time
At this moment, escaping from the encirclement is the wisest choice.
As Shen Lindong's most loyal subordinate, Ding Zhen personally led his men to fight against Zhang Xiaowu under the rain of arrows, but Zhang Xiaowu remained calm in the face of danger. When the enemy troops walked in, he shouted: "Flying knives!" The remaining two hundred behind him were
Many soldiers threw throwing knives at him. Ding Zhen immediately grabbed a soldier and stood in front of him. After being hit by several knives, the soldier died. When Ding Zhen opened his eyes again, he saw Zhang Xiaowu leading the soldiers to take the initiative.
Kill yourself.
Ding Zhen felt timid and pushed the soldiers towards Zhang Xiaowu, and then shouted: "Kill him! Kill him!" However, he quietly retreated. He also knew that Zhang Xiaowu was the best general in the world, and he was no match for Zhang Xiaowu. Tiger
Even if he is injured, he is still a tiger, and he is just a hyena.
However, Ding Zhen's order had no effect. After the rebel soldiers were attacked by arrows, their mentality changed subtly. Especially when Baoze's comrades fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, they immediately thought of Zhang Xiaowu's military skills.
Zhang Xiaowu was brave and invincible, and then some rebel soldiers turned and fled, taking more rebels with them.
"Retreat!" Seeing that he was at a disadvantage at this moment, Shen Lindong immediately made a decision, galloped on his horse, and fled towards the imperial city. He had a large number of men and horses. Although he was ambushed and killed nearly a thousand people, the main force was still there. As long as he escaped,
After reorganizing the troops and horses in this encirclement, they were still able to kill Zhang Xiaowu and his party. Shen Lindong was an absolutely calm person, and after being unable to kill Zhang Xiaowu for a while, he made the wisest choice.
Xia Ming stood on the high wall, stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at Shen Lindong. Although the shot hit Shen Lindong, it was blocked by the armor on his body. Shen Lindong was stunned at first, and then laughed. Xia Ming and those around him
Several archers shot arrows at Shen Lindong, but found that the arrows could not break Shen Lindong's armor at all. Shen Lindong was even more proud.
On Fangjian Avenue, rivers of blood flowed. Nearly three thousand rebels were killed here. Zhang Xiaowu stepped on the corpses and fought back. Then more soldiers jumped down the Fangjian Avenue and followed Zhang Xiaowu. Soon, Zhang Xiaowu regrouped his team.
Soldiers hiding everywhere also joined in.
"Eradicate the traitors!"
The soldiers shouted loudly.
"Holy Han - Ten Thousand Years!"
The soldiers raised their swords and chopped down the surviving rebels one by one.
Shen Lindong took Ding Zhen and his soldiers and fled back to the imperial city gate in embarrassment. At this time, he saw that it was Aguda who was guarding the gate. He breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Send troops! Kill Zhang Xiaowu!" However, there was more in him.
Itchy, Aguda leads the troops
He ran down from the imperial city and was preparing to form a formation to meet the enemy, but he was suddenly startled. He pointed at Shen Lindong and said: "General, your face, what's wrong with your face? Why is it purple?" Ding Zhen was also startled.
, asked: "General, have you been poisoned?"
Shen Lindong felt extremely itchy all over his body, and he shouted: "Help me untie the armor!" Everyone helped him untie the armor. They immediately saw him scratching his whole body, but it seemed that the more he scratched, the more itchy he became.
The itch got worse, and Shen Lindong fell to the ground and howled in pain. Everyone was extremely anxious. At this moment, Zhang Xiaowu's army came over and Ding Zhen shouted: "Aguda, take your people and kill them."
Aguda glanced at the menacing Zhang Xiaowu in the distance, felt timid in his heart, and hurriedly said: "We have just been ambushed and need to take a rest."
"You coward!" Ding Zhen was furious.
Aguda said: "Why don't you kill me?"
Ding Zhen was about to speak, but he saw that Shen Lindong's eyes, nose, ears, and mouth were bleeding. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Aguda shouted: "Stick to the city wall, stick to the imperial city! Withdraw to the imperial city, shoot arrows, black
Archers, shoot arrows for me!"
The Mohe mercenaries immediately pulled up black arrows and shot rows of black arrows at Zhang Xiaowu's army. Dozens of soldiers were shot to death immediately. Zhang Xiaowu frowned and was extremely annoyed. When he saw the imperial city gate closed,
Knowing that he could not kill Shen Lindong this time, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Retreat a hundred steps." Zhang Xiaowu ordered.
After withdrawing from the range of the Black Arrows, Zhang Xiaowu looked up and saw that the rebels seemed to be even more confused. He could not help but frown. Xia Ming, Wang Jing, Lei Wenqian and others stood behind Zhang Xiaowu, and Zhang Xiaowu said again:
"Have Zhao Fu and Yi Sheng escaped?"
"Escaped." Zhao Fu shouted while running in the distance, panting from exhaustion, holding his knees and saying: "Fortunately, we caught up, luckily we caught up."
Lei Wenqian asked: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "It's a pity that the ambush failed to kill Shen Lindong."
Xia Ming was very angry and said: "My bow and arrow clearly hit him, but they were blocked by the armor on his body. The armor was extremely tough, and the seven or eight arrows in his body had no reaction at all."
Gong Jian, who was setting up the ambush together, couldn't help but said: "This armor is simply the best armor in the world. It can't be penetrated by any arrows. I think the black arrows can't be penetrated either."
Zhang Xiaowu didn't care about the armor. He just regretted not killing Shen Lindong. He then ordered people to escort Gu Yong to the outside of the city to find Li Cunyi's help. Then, he began to reorganize the army and confront the rebels in front of the imperial city.
No intention of retreating at all.
Soon, the first support army appeared. Former Paoze Li Cunyuan appeared in front of him with three thousand cavalry. Looking at the well-equipped cavalry, Zhang Xiaowu vaguely noticed something. Then, Li Cunyi's men came one after another. White Tiger Army, Xuanwu Army
, the Suzaku Army also came to support from all directions, led by Li Cunyi.
Li Cunyuan came to Zhang Xiaowu and looked at Zhang Xiaowu and his men who were covered in blood fighting hard all day and night. He sighed and said, "My elder brother will let you go."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Is your eldest brother here to pick peaches?"
Li Cunyuan said: "You can think so."
Zhang Xiaowu shook his head, but still followed Li Cunyuan to Li Cunyi, but saw Li Cunyi staring at the imperial city from a distance, wondering what he was thinking. Seeing Zhang Xiaowu coming, Li Cunyi smiled lightly and said, "The prince is here
where?"
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "How do you ask the prince?"
Li Cunyi said: "Your Majesty has been harmed, and the country cannot live without a king for a day. After eradicating the traitors, we should immediately help the prince to proclaim himself emperor. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "That's exactly what I meant."
Li Cunyi's eyes were shining brightly, and he said loudly: "The northern country is in constant trouble on the border. The Northern Yi, Mohe, Tartar and other countries are ready to move, and the north still needs a general to guard it." As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaowu and the people around him were shocked.
Everyone understands that Li Cunyi wants to expel Zhang Xiaowu from the court, and if Zhang Xiaowu refuses to leave Beijing, I am afraid that he will not end well today.
