Jiangzhou County Government Office, Jiangzhou City.
At this time, in Jiangzhou City, on the Hanyang Pier, a group of civil and military officials in elegant clothes gathered here.
Both sides of the Yangtze River were under martial law at this time.
Youzhou Assault Cavalry and Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, two world-famous elite cavalry, were galloping along both sides of the Yangtze River. However, when someone tried to spy on them, they were immediately brutally suppressed without mercy.
The Tianxiong Army is not a flying army. These two elite soldiers and horses are not as famous as the previous two cavalry. However, it was also their first battle and they made great achievements to intimidate the elites of one side. They also guarded the Hanyang Pier and guarded this place.
The surrounding area is impenetrable, preventing anyone from approaching.
In addition, there are tens of thousands of elite and brave troops from the Yun Kingdom who have just withdrawn from the battlefield. At this time, all of them are wearing bright armor, their swords are as bright as snow, their spears are as tall as a forest, and their lineups are solemn and lined up around them.
.
Countless Yunlong flags cover the sky and the sun. "General Cheng of the Northern Expedition", "Hou Wu of Qujing", "General Di of Wu Xiang", "General Yang of Andong", and the banners of several famous generals from the Yun Kingdom gathered here.
, hunting in the wind.
This mighty military force has the power to swallow up mountains and rivers and intimidate the world. However, those who are spying secretly can't help but feel frightened by the power of the Yun Kingdom's army.
To be able to trouble all the civil and military officials in Jiangzhou County to stage such a large battle array, one must know that this is the current Emperor of Dayun Kingdom, and the Holy Emperor is about to arrive!
Several soldiers of the Yun Army, riding fast horses, stirred up smoke and dust, galloped to the dock, quickly got off their horses, came to the front of a group of civil and military personnel, knelt down on one knee, and reported loudly:
"My lords, Your Majesty's Holy Chariot is less than ten miles away!"
Among all the civil and military officials in Jiangzhou County, the Northern General Cheng Bushi currently has the highest official position and the most seniority. At the same time, he is also an old minister of His Majesty's late residence and a loyal confidant. At this time, he has naturally become the leader of the civil and military officials.
Hearing that Xiao Cheng was approaching, Cheng Bushi's expression became even more nervous, and he immediately issued an order:
"Jiangzhou County has just been pacified, but unlike the other six counties, the people have not yet surrendered. I have sent orders to all armies. Even at this time, they must not be careless..."
Speaking of this, Cheng Bushi's eyes turned cold and he shouted in a deep voice:
"But if there are those who are acting strangely, spying secretly, and waiting for an opportunity to approach, they will be captured directly without asking any questions. If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed! We must not let these people disturb His Majesty when the time comes."
When the generals around him heard what Cheng Buzi said, they immediately straightened up, clasped their fists and shouted:
"As you command!"
Strict orders were issued to the army, and the atmosphere became more murderous. The patrols around became even stricter. The entire Yun Kingdom army seemed to have turned into a ferocious beast that chose to devour others, displaying bloody killing intent wantonly, shocking everyone.
People who hide in the dark and have evil intentions.
In the hills and forests not far from Hanyang Pier, a few people dressed as Jianghu people looked far away at the even more heavily guarded terminal, feeling frightened and frightened in their hearts.
"Straight bitch, the guards are so tight!"
"Why don't you send a signal to the brothers and ask them to retreat..."
"No! Even though we are people in the world, we still have a lot of passion. How can we just sit back and watch the country fall?"
"That's right, after planning for so long and putting in so much effort to arrange the brothers, how can we give up so easily?"
Nowadays, the power of the country of Yun is like the rising sun, its brilliance is too strong to be looked at directly. The military is at its peak, and it has the appearance of overwhelming the world. Most of the rich and gentry in Jiangzhou County have begun to think of ways to join the country of Yun.
The remaining people, even if they still cherish the Xia Kingdom, know that the power of the Yun Kingdom cannot be violated lightly, so they can only pretend to surrender, but secretly they are constantly plotting and contacting people in the Xia Kingdom.
Only these hot-blooded people in the world would be so reckless and unwise, and want to come and assassinate Xiao Cheng in Jiangzhou City, under the protection of hundreds of thousands of Yun Kingdom's elite troops!
Everyone in the Jianghu was full of blood and enthusiasm at this time, but they couldn't care about anything. Even if some people wanted to retreat, but under the pressure of their companions, they could only blush and suppress the words of retreat. .
At this time, among the crowd of Jianghu people, someone suddenly raised his finger and pointed to the Yangtze River in the distance, and exclaimed:
"Coming!"
At this time, on the Hanyang Pier, some officials suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted:
"It's coming, it's coming! His Majesty's Holy Chariot is here!"
At this time, everyone looked towards the Yangtze River in the distance.
Then they saw several stern warships coming first, riding the wind and waves at very fast speeds. Behind them, there were several extremely tall fifth-floor warships, each lined up on both sides, coming to escort them.
In the center, the three gorgeously decorated and majestic huge ships, which even had temples on them, were coming from afar under the protection of dozens of naval warships.
The navy ship that was already considered huge now looked extremely petite in front of these three ships.
On the most conspicuous, luxurious and magnificent huge dragon boat, the Yunlong flag fluttered in the wind. The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army, in bright uniforms, stood upright on the deck. Many honor guards symbolizing the emperor stood on top of it.
The solemn ritual music sounded at this time. The emperor's majesty rushed towards his face, making people dare not look directly at him.
Xiao Cheng, the Emperor of Dayun Kingdom, is here!
Going down the waterway for several miles, you have arrived in just the blink of an eye.
When this mighty fleet slowly stopped at the Hanyang Pier, all the civil and military personnel knelt on the ground and shouted:
"I, my ministers, welcome your Majesty! Long live, long live, long live your Majesty!"
The surrounding soldiers, who were responsible for guarding and guarding, did not kneel down together, but stood upright and shouted in unison:
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
Xiao Cheng raised his hands, and under the service of the palace servants, he put on the imperial robe worn by the emperor. Feng Bao even personally held the Raging Dragon Sword and tied it around Xiao Cheng's waist.
Hearing the cry of the mountains coming from outside, Xiao Cheng waved his robe, held his sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Let's go!"
"yes."
When Xiao Cheng's figure, surrounded by hundreds of officials, appeared on the dragon boat and appeared in the sight of all the soldiers, the hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside Jiangzhou City became extremely excited.
I don't know who was carrying them, and countless soldiers held long spears and banged on the ground. The sound of "dong, dong, dong" with the long spears piercing the ground was heard, and there was also a muffled sound of banging the armor on the chest, and suddenly formed An exciting rhythm that makes your blood pump.
The army was like clouds and flags, and they kept surging along with this exciting rhythm.
The soldiers looked extremely excited and shouted in unison:
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
…
The sound of long live could be heard endlessly, shaking the heaven and the earth. An awe-inspiring atmosphere arose spontaneously, and the majestic and majestic military power soared straight into the sky. For a moment, even the sun in the sky seemed dim.
Xiao Cheng's prestige in the army was established by Xiao Cheng's resolute leadership of the army and his personal conquest. It was established by Xiao Cheng's fearlessness when he personally entered the Yongzhou camp and subdued hundreds of thousands of arrogant and powerful generals.
of.
After that, he led troops into the Xia Kingdom, saved the Yun Kingdom from the fall of Sheji, and his heroic achievements, as well as his kindness to the military lieutenant general, pushed his military prestige to an unprecedented level.
Xiao Cheng's unparalleled prestige in the military, the massive military power gathered together, and the tall and erect figure on the dragon boat, gave rise to an emperor's power that looked down on the world and could not be resisted by anyone in the world.
Those who were spying secretly inside and outside Jiangzhou City felt their hearts stagnate at this moment, as if a heavy stone was pressing on their chests, making people tremble.
"It's better to withdraw. Today is really not the time to take action..."
"...It doesn't hurt to go back and think about it in the long run."
"Could it be that Emperor Yun is allowed to show off his power like this? If we don't kill his majesty today, how can we let the people know that there are still loyal and brave men in our Daxia who are resisting the rule of Yun Kingdom?"
"Emperor Yun is used to buying people's hearts. If he doesn't take action to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians, it will be hard to say what will happen to the people of Jiangzhou City in the future!"
"There are other ways. But in today's battle at Hanyang Pier, the hope is slim. Once the brothers assassinate, it will be a narrow escape!"
A group of people from all walks of life were gathered together just for the purpose of assassination. Although their loyalty and bravery are commendable, their organization appears to be extremely loose.
At such a critical moment, should we retreat? Or continue the assassination? Such an important choice, but no one could convince everyone and make a decision based on his own prestige.
Seeing everyone still arguing, one of them suddenly looked desperate and said with sadness and anger:
"Stop arguing, it's too late!"
After everyone heard this, the quarrel stopped.
Looking towards the Hanyang Pier in front, Xiao Cheng had already led a group of officials to get off the dragon boat. After receiving the civil and military officials of Jiangzhou City, he boarded the prepared jade chariot and headed towards Jiangzhou City.
.
There are hundreds of officials accompanying him, people from the harem, and soldiers of the imperial army. There are many of them. In addition to the civil and military personnel on the dock, the number of people is so large that no one can be neglected.
Therefore, no matter how perfect the organization was before, it could not help but seem a little noisy and chaotic for a while.
And such chaos has naturally been part of the plans of these local Jianghu people who are used to the chaos at Jiangzhou City Wharf. It is also what gives them the courage to assassinate Xiao Cheng!
Among the people who were ambushing around the dock, even though some of them were afraid of the mighty military power of the Yun Army and did not dare to show up. But there were still quite a few people who were so excited that they could no longer care about anything else!
In addition, the person behind the scenes had not made up his mind to evacuate, so all plans were implemented according to the previous plan while taking advantage of the chaos on the dock.
"There's a fire in the dock warehouse, run!"
"There are assassins over there!"
"No, Xia Jun is back!"
Many noisy sounds sounded from all directions. On the pier not far away, there were even billowing smoke and chaos.
General Yun Jun, who was responsible for the surrounding security, was already excited and nervous because of His Majesty's arrival. When he heard these movements, he was suddenly startled and quickly organized his men to look around.
With the mobilization of the soldiers of the Yun Army, the Yun Army's military formation, which was originally guarding the surrounding areas and was heavily guarded, suddenly had omissions.
Dozens of people in the Jianghu who had hidden their figures took advantage of this opportunity to rush out brazenly, shouting:
"Kill Emperor Yun!"
"Kill!"
Compared with the hundreds of assassins arranged by Jianghu before, these dozens of assassins were more than half in number. They were probably afraid of the power of the Yun army and did not dare to take action at this time.
And these people who took action were able to boldly assassinate under the pressure of such a large army. Their loyalty, bravery and passionate heart are absolutely admirable.
But assassinating the emperor of a country is not as simple as they imagined!
The assassin who was the first to charge towards Xiao Chengyu's chariot had a power that could reach the ninth level, enough to be called a master.
But even for such a character, who showed murderous intent and took action brazenly, before he had even taken ten steps, a spear was suddenly thrown out, piercing his chest and nailing him to the ground.
Anton's general Yang Dayan, riding a war horse to guard beside the jade chariot, withdrew his hand calmly, as if the terrifyingly powerful shot just like a meteor piercing the sun was not thrown by him.
When the machine was turned, a "clang" sound of a crossbow string was heard.
The Tianxiong army fired a volley of arrows. More than a dozen assassins held sharp blades and kept charging. Their bodies were pricked like hedgehogs and they fell helplessly to the ground.
By the time they broke out of the area enveloped by the arrow rain, most of the dozens of assassins were dead or injured, and then they ran into the heavily armored Guan Ning cavalry head-on.
Guan Ning's iron cavalry, with its profound military power, was like an insurmountable copper wall. At this time, the army was overwhelming. No matter how high their martial arts skills were, the warriors from all over the world charged head-on and collided directly with the sharp blade of the divine weapon with their flesh and blood bodies.
There's no difference at all.
There was no deafening cry of killing, nor was there the sound of fighting. There was only the chilling sound of "puff", the sound of flesh and blood being trampled.
Except for a few assassins who evacuated decisively, the remaining people were like waves on the sea, hitting the shore hard and dissipating in a short time. Except for the rotten flesh left on the ground.
Plasma, no trace left.
Just when the remaining assassins retreated and the shouts of killing gradually subsided, the general's shouts were suddenly heard from the carriage behind.
"Your Majesty has a decree. Kill all the assassins as soon as you respond. Don't let it go to waste!"
"Kill them all, don't let them go to waste!"
"According to the order!"
Seeing the remaining seven or eight assassins fleeing into the distance, the Youzhou Cavalrymen immediately shouted loudly, harnessed their horses, and galloped away.
On horseback, the Youzhou Cavalry knights raised their long bows, and with the sound of bowstrings vibrating, arrows rained down one after another. In an instant, several more assassins fell to the ground.
The last two or three people were trying their best to escape. But the Youzhou Tuqi came and went like the wind, extremely fast. Under the blessing of the strange vision of the Tuqi army, the few remaining people tried their best to escape.
Before he could escape far, he was caught up by the cavalry and killed with a knife.
From the beginning to the end, all the assassins who took action were wiped out without even breaking through the defenses on the outside of Xiao Cheng's frame.
A strange sound of "puff" came, and the jade chariot, which symbolized the emperor's ceremonial driving, slowly drove through the muddy place of flesh and blood left by the assassins, leaving several extremely deep ruts on it. Just like this Xiao Cheng
The impression left on Jiangzhou City last time was the same, extremely profound and unforgettable...
