Chapter 555: Annihilate one thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses
When a brawl broke out at the firearms inspection station, the deafening roars and explosions could be heard far into the night.
Li Junxian, who was stationed near the Daming Palace, noticed something strange and led a group of hundreds of cavalrymen to hurriedly rush towards the Firearms Monitor.
The imperial army guarding the Daming Palace is headed by Youweiwei. Duan Zhixuan is now the general of Youwei, who happens to be responsible for patrolling near Daming Palace.
Hearing the violent explosions and roars, Duan Zhixuan paced back and forth in the barracks, obviously feeling uneasy.
At this moment, Duan Zhixuan really wanted to scold his mother.
Some time ago, Changsun Chong came to him and asked him to turn a blind eye to the imperial guards patrolling the Daming Palace.
Knowing that Changsun Chong was looking for trouble for Yang Fan, Duan Zhixuan was also happy to see him.
So the patrolling Forbidden Army deliberately avoided the area bordering the Firearms Prison and Daming Palace.
Little did he know that Changsun Chong would be so bold and make such a big fuss, and how he would end up.
It was originally thought that Changsun Chong dug a tunnel to steal the firearms from the firearms prison, so that Yang Fan could not pay his dues and was punished by the emperor.
But now that Changsun Chong was doing this, Duan Zhixuan didn't know what to do.
He happened to be on duty tonight. If he was indifferent to such a loud noise, and the emperor held him accountable afterwards, he, Duan Zhixuan, would not be able to absolve himself of the blame.
But if troops were sent to investigate and support the firearms prison, once the people sent by Chang Sun Chong were caught, Duan Zhixuan would not be able to explain why he had 10,000 mouths.
After all, these people passed through the patrol area of Daming Palace, and he was the one who let them pass intentionally.
For a time, Duan Zhixuan was in a dilemma.
Gritting his teeth, Duan Zhixuan decided to lead his troops to have a look in person. No matter what, it was still necessary to show off.
Now Duan Zhixuan regrets that he deliberately helped Changsun Chong. This guy really failed to succeed and failed more than he did.
There were only about twenty Imperial Guardsmen in the Firearms Prison, and Chang Sun Chong couldn't get anyone to deal with them as quickly as possible, and they made such a big noise, it was like a waste.
Since the matter is irreversible, Duan Zhixuan hopes that all the people sent by the Firearms Supervisor and Chang Sun Chong will die.
Otherwise we will be in big trouble!
Just when Duan Zhixuan ordered his troops to set off, he met Li Junxian who came to support him on the road.
As soon as the two groups of troops met, the Baiqi led by Li Junxian was stopped by Duan Zhixian.
Li Junxian, who was extremely anxious, shouted: "Praise to the Duke of Bao, quickly order the guards to get out of the way. I am going to the Firearms Supervisory Station to perform my mission under His Majesty's order. You must not stop me."
Duan Zhixuan was shocked when he saw Li Junxian leading a large group of Baiqi.
I secretly worry in my heart, could it be that Changsun Chong's plan has been discovered long ago?
Otherwise, even if Baiqi heard the noise, he would not have been able to reach the Firearms Monitor from Chang'an City so quickly.
You must know that the Firearms Prison is dozens of miles away from Chang'an City.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Duan Zhixuan clasped his fists and saluted: "It turns out to be General Li. I don't know why you came here late at night. You have gained His Majesty's trust and ordered me to garrison the Daming Palace. Without His Majesty's personal orders, I wouldn't be able to let you."
If you pass by my defense area late at night, otherwise, if something happens to the firearms supervisor, neither you nor I can afford it!"
Duan Zhixuan smiled and made a fool of himself.
At this time, he only hoped to delay for a moment so that the people sent by Changsun Chong could retreat as soon as possible.
Once Li Junxian went to support him, he would kill all the people sent by Changsun Chong.
Pull out the radish and bring out the mud.
When the time comes, Duan Zhixuan will feel like his pants are covered with mud, and he will be either shit or shit!
Seeing that Duan Zhixuan deliberately blocked it, Li Junxian was very angry.
They were only a mile or two away from the Firearms Monitor, and could clearly hear the sounds of fighting.
If we don't rush there, the day lilies may get cold.
Li Junxian couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Thank you, Lord Bao, the Firearms Prison is adjacent to the Daming Palace and belongs to your defense area. Now that the Firearms Prison is under attack, you not only did not rush to check and support, but also deliberately blocked it.
What’s your intention?”
Duan Zhixuan smiled nonchalantly: "I don't dare to wear the hat of General Li. Although the firearms supervision area belongs to my defense zone, it is guarded by independent guards."
"His Majesty once strictly ordered me not to interfere with the affairs of the Firearms Supervisor. Although there are noises from the Firearms Supervisor now, until the matter is unclear, it is also my duty to prevent General Li from passing through my defense area. How can you say that I have bad intentions? Besides,
Haven't I already ordered all my troops and horses and am about to go over to check?"
Li Junxian's face darkened and he shouted angrily: "Since Duke Bao is going to check, why is he so late in setting off? Is there some ulterior secret?"
"If you dare to deliberately delay and block our forward support, then don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, Li Junxian shouted: "Where is Baiqi? If anyone dares to stop me, kill him!"
"No!" Baiqi shouted in unison, obviously very angry.
As the emperor's personal soldier, he would be polite to everyone he saw. Unexpectedly, Duan Zhixuan dared to stop him. He was so scared!
Seeing that Li Junxian was about to take action, Duan Zhixuan immediately said: "General Li, this is all a misunderstanding. How dare I stop you? I am also responsible for this, so I have no choice but to go there together."
"In that case, please lead the way, Duke!" Li Junxian said in a deep voice, holding back his anger.
Because he knows that if there is a conflict, it will delay even more time.
Seeing Li Junxian so anxious, Duan Zhixuan showed a proud smile when he turned around.
If the people sent by Changsun Chong were more ambitious, even if Yang Fan did not die, he would definitely not be able to explain to His Majesty Li Er.
Support from Li Junxian's side was delayed, but Yang Fan's side was furious.
Only Yang Fan and Xi Jun were seen taking the lead, followed closely by ten guards, who wormed their way into the camp of the men in black like awls.
Everywhere he went, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Even the men in black with high morale had to avoid its edge.
At this time, Yang Fan and his party were like demons from hell, their entire bodies covered in red blood.
Most of the blood belongs to the men in black, but some of the guards on Yang Fan's side were also injured!
When fighting with cold weapons, the absolute advantage of numbers is still very useful.
Li Junxian's support was delayed, letting Yang Fan know that if the situation continued like this, all the guards might die here, and he had to find a way.
The steel knife kept waving, eyes rolling as he thought about countermeasures.
Inadvertently, Yang Fan caught a glimpse of the wooden box he had just opened, and an idea came to his mind.
We didn't have time to use these thunderbolts just now. If we had the opportunity to ignite all these thunderbolts and throw them over, we would definitely be able to stop the attack of these men in black.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan shouted: "All the guards, listen to my order, go back and light the Hongtianlei and throw them over. Don't take care of us. I have my own way to leave. Now, Xi Junmai and I are blocking the way, and everyone else needs to retreat."
.”
"promise!"
The guards knew that without the use of thunder, they would not be able to defeat so many men in black.
Under the cover of Yang Fan and Xi Junmai, the guards retreated to the place where the thunderbolt had just been placed.
With the cooperation of Li Xiaogong and the craftsmen, a group of people picked up the firecrackers nearby, ignited all the thunderbolts, and threw them towards crowded places.
It can be said to be an indiscriminate attack.
Fortunately, the lead time of these thunderous thunders was very long, at least nearly 30 seconds, giving Yang Fan time to retreat.
Seeing all the raindrops of thunder being thrown out, Yang Fan used his Qi Luck Skill, grabbed Xi Junmai, and ran back as hard as he could.
Even if the door behind him is wide open, he can only let the man in black slash his back with his knife.
Fortunately, there are golden bells and iron cloth shirts to protect the body. These cold weapons cannot break the defense.
However, the contact between the blade and the body also caused Yang Fan's energy and blood to surge.
After all, the Golden Bell Iron Cloth Shirt only increases the ability to resist attacks, but it does not mean that it cannot break defenses.
Before it was completely withdrawn, the first batch of thunderbolts thrown over had already begun to detonate.
Listening to the deafening explosion behind him, Yang Fan felt a wave of heat coming from behind and secretly screamed, "It's over!"
Yang Fan knew that no matter how powerful the Golden Bell Shield was, it could not withstand Hong Tianlei's attack.
Under the influence of this thrust, Yang Fan used all his strength to push Xi Junmai as far away from the center of the explosion as possible.
Earth-shaking loud noises exploded behind him. The huge energy generated by the black gunpowder finally broke through the restraints, and the violent energy was vented in all directions!
Streams of fire shot up into the sky, making the entire earth tremble.
Even though both sides were already furious, seeing the power of the thunderous explosions was definitely shocking.
In the eyes of everyone, this is energy that definitely does not belong to the human world!
Seeing Li Xiaogong and the craftsmen still watching dumbly after throwing the thunder, Yang Fan couldn't help but shouted anxiously: "Everyone lie down!"
All the guards and craftsmen had received Yang Fan's training. As soon as they heard the sound, they immediately came to their senses and fell to the ground suddenly regardless of whether there were enemies rushing over!
The shock wave caused by the explosion formed a strong wind on the ground, and the iron pieces mixed in it swept away everything that hindered their progress.
These iron pieces carry huge destructive power. Flowers, plants, trees, and even the houses next to them can be easily pierced by the iron!
Amid the deafening roar, Yang Fan, who had already landed, felt the ground tremble several times, and the billowing black smoke from the explosion spread around, forming a mushroom-shaped cloud.
These boxes of black gunpowder exploded together, and the power was really powerful. Maybe Li Er in Chang'an City could hear the explosion.
After the explosion, it seemed that the whole world had become quiet, as if this is what a silent night should be like.
At this time, I couldn't hear anything except the buzzing in my ears.
After a while, those who survived looked at the place wailing, and a sense of fear surged into their hearts.
The violent explosions and raging iron pieces knocked down the standing enemies like wheat.
Those who have not been hit in vital parts will not die for a while, but their bodies are covered with dense iron pieces, making their lives worse than death.
Changsun Bin, who was originally standing in the woods giving instructions, also had weak legs and feet and could not move a step.
Although Changsun Bin had thought about the power of thunder, he never expected it to be so powerful.
For a long time, I could only stand there in shock, unable to say a word, my mind went blank...
Even if the man in black is a retired veteran, he will feel weak and powerless in the face of such an explosion that cannot be resisted by manpower.
In an instant, everyone froze!
Yang Fan was crawling on the ground at this time, feeling a burning pain in his back.
When all the thunderous thunder exploded, he had not yet completely landed, and he could feel at least a dozen iron pieces stuck in his back.
If Yang Fan's iron cloth shirt with golden bell cover hadn't been refined to the transformation state, he might have hiccupped.
However, Yang Fan knew the principle of going all out in one go, so he endured the pain and stood up, shouting: "Guards, follow me and kill!"
As he said that, he staggered a little and raised the steel knife in his hand, raising a bright blade!
The guards also got up, screaming and rushing up as if they were drunk!
My father-in-law is risking his life, how can these servants be afraid?
The remaining men in black were frightened by the huge explosion, their inner defenses almost collapsed, and they ran away crying and howling!
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Yang Fan quickly shouted: "Get that man, don't let him escape."
It turned out that Changsun Bin thought something was wrong and planned to escape from the tunnel.
Xi Junmai was protected by Yang Fan just now, but he was not seriously injured. He ran to Yang Fan with a knife, waved his hand to the two guards, and said, "Follow me and chase, the others will wait here to deal with the aftermath!"
Yang Fan braced himself and quickly reminded: "Remember, follow, don't lose track, find the person behind the scenes, and pay attention to safety!"
"promise!"
Xi Junmai jumped into the tunnel with two guards and gave chase.
After the big explosion, Duan Zhixuan and Li Junxian arrived belatedly.
Stepping into the firearms prison, severed limbs can be seen everywhere on the ground, corpses are scattered everywhere, and some living people scream in agony.
Some people even mutter to themselves like lunatics and have no reaction to the outside world at all.
Obviously, these people were frightened by the explosion just now!
For a moment, the firearms supervisor fell into a strange atmosphere.
Both Li Junxian and Duan Zhixuan looked at the mess in front of them in disbelief, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
"vomit!"
Duan Zhixuan's new Imperial Guardsmen could no longer hold on and began to vomit.
Li Junxian's stomach was churning, and he shouted in a deep voice: "To help the injured, help bandage the wounds first."
Then Li Junxian came to Yang Fan, his eyes were red, and he said with some guilt: "Brother, I'm too late for you. Fortunately, you are fine."
Yang Fan smiled bitterly: "Help find some doctors to come over and see if the brothers from the imperial army who guard the firearms prison can be saved first."
The firearms guards suffered the most casualties.
Except for a small number of people who died upon contact, almost all the remaining people were seriously injured. If they don't get medical treatment, they will be wiped out!
After counting, it was found that fifteen of the guards at the firearms prison were dead on the spot, and the remaining ten were all seriously injured.
With current medical conditions, it would be good if only half of the seriously injured people could survive.
As for Yang Fan's guards, although no one died, two people were seriously injured, and everyone else was more or less injured!
It's even worse on the enemy's side.
A total of about two hundred people came. Except for about fifty or sixty people who were killed by Yang Fan and others on the spot, the remaining 100 people were all killed by the shock wave of the thunder and the raging iron fragments.
Broken arms and limbs were everywhere throughout the firearms prison. The most shocking thing was the corpses that were completely mutilated and bloody, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Some people standing at the center of the explosion were piled on the ground like a pile of rotten meat, and even their complete bodies could not be seen.
After asking the soldiers to help the wounded aside, Li Junxian came to Yang Fan and asked: "Brother, do you know who is the mastermind?"
"I've already had someone follow me. As for whether you can get anything, it all depends on luck." Yang Fan couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground.
Li Junxian immediately comforted him: "Take care of your wounds first, and then I will give you an explanation. These people are too lawless."
Saying that, Li Junxian glared at Duan Zhixuan fiercely.
Even if this guy is not involved, he may not be able to escape the involvement. The involvement is quite big!
