According to the plan, the first target to be attacked when the assassination was launched was the last one of the three carriages, and only three assassins took action.
There were many guards around the chariot battle, and these three killers were all very good at surprise attacks. They dressed up as civilians, sneaked up on them, and struck suddenly. They killed three people in an instant and rushed towards the chariot.
Blood suddenly appeared, and there was chaos on the street, with people running away in all directions.
Although the guards in the car battle were caught off guard, they were not slow to respond. They jumped off their mounts and drew their weapons to fight. The three assassins were blocked before they could rush to the front of the car, and the two sides fought together.
After all, the guards had a large number of people, and they quickly surrounded the three killers and wanted to capture them in one fell swoop. However, this was exactly what Shi Qingzhu, the maker of the assassination plan, had expected. At this time, the second person of "Tianchu"
The batch of killers is about to launch.
There were five killers in the second batch, and their martial arts skills were higher than those of the three in the previous batch. The strongest among them was Ge Li, but the target of their attack was a carriage at the front.
This was a typical strategy of attacking from the east and attacking from the west. Most of the guards had already attracted the three killers who were the first to attack. Only four people were left to defend in front of the first carriage. They were suddenly attacked and fell down before they could resist.
When he got out, Gree kicked the door open and jumped into the car with a big butcher knife.
A woman's scream sounded in the carriage. When Gree jumped out of the carriage, the blade of the butcher knife was stained with blood. There was no doubt that the person sitting in the carriage had been murdered.
The guards who had surrounded the three killers in front of the car behind them realized what they were doing, and immediately a dozen or so people rushed towards Ge Li and others. The two sides were fighting in a melee again, but at this time, there was a
There were shouts of "It's terrible, someone assassinated the Holy Emperor," came out.
Hearing the shouting, Li Hu couldn't help but be startled. Could it be that the person sitting in one of the three carriages was the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian?
But after only a moment, he regained his composure. Li Hu was a man who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he had never had a good impression of the Ming Dynasty's government. Even if he thought that the target of the assassination might be the emperor, he only gave a brief thought.
I am just surprised, not afraid of it, and I don't have the thought that "it is treasonous to do this".
From the beginning of the assassination until now, Li Hu and the four assassins around him have not made any move, because according to the plan, they are the third batch and the last to take action.
The person sitting in the middle car is undoubtedly the most important person in this troika team.
Li Hu made this judgment not only because most of the important people in ordinary chariot battles were in the middle, but he also found that most of the strongest experts in the guard were guarding the side of the carriage.
Shi Qingzhu's intelligence was quite accurate. Among the thirty guards protecting the chariot, eight of them had significantly higher martial arts, and the two strongest among them were a strong man holding a nine-ring knife.
A middle-aged man and a young man in his twenties who wields a sword.
When the chariot battle was suddenly attacked, these two people reacted fastest and immediately drew their weapons. However, even when the people in the front carriage were killed by Ge Sudui, they did not leave the middle carriage. Obviously
It has the heavy responsibility to protect the safety of the people in the car.
Shi Qingzhu's plan, when Ge Li and other nine people were fighting with a group of guards, Li Hu and four killers suddenly appeared, attacked and killed the last person in the carriage, and then concentrated the power of the thirteen killers to surround them.
Kill the carriage in the middle.
Repeating his old trick again, he used the method of attacking in the east and attacking in the west to defeat the remaining two carriages. This was also a very smart strategy, but Li Hu did not intend to act according to the plan. Since he already knew that he was sitting in the middle car is the most important person, then his target is only that person.
Therefore, when Li Hu and the other four killers used the cover of the crowd to move towards the carriage at the back, Li Hu jumped like a fish to the carriage at the front. The person in the carriage had already been attacked by Ge Li. Kill, the guards guarding the car also had their heads missing, and even the coachman had fled long ago. It was now an empty car. Li Hu came to the front of the car, jumped on the shaft of the car with a slight jump, and sat on the driver's seat. in position.
The carriage in the middle was surrounded by many guards. If Li Hu charged directly, he would not be able to get close and would be blocked, so he thought of using this empty carriage.
Li Hu pulled the reins, turned the horse's head towards the direction of the central carriage, picked up the whip that the driver had not taken away, raised his hand and slapped it on the horse's butt with a "snap" sound. The horse neighed and pulled the carriage to run.
At this time, the "Tianchu" killers had noticed that Li Hu's actions were inconsistent with the original plan. Someone shouted: "King Chong, what are you doing? How dare you disobey orders?"
Of course, Li Hu ignored it. He waved his arms and whipped out his riding whip several times. The horses pulling the carriage felt pain and immediately ran faster. In an instant, they had rushed to the front of the carriage in the center.
There were many guards standing in front of the carriage. Amidst the muffled sound, the first person was knocked out and the others saw the carriage rushing towards them unstoppably, so they had to retreat one after another.
Suddenly I heard a loud shout: "How dare you, rats!"
But a figure jumped out from the side, and with a flash of cold light on his hand, the heads of the two horses pulling the cart were cut off at the same time, and blood spurted out, splashing three feet high.
This man was the middle-aged man holding a nine-ringed sword. He cut off the heads of two horses with one blow, which shows the fierceness of his attack.
The two headless horses pulling the carriage stumbled and fell, but the forward momentum of the carriage did not diminish, and it still crashed forward. The tiger on the carriage kicked off his feet and flew more than ten feet into the air, like an eagle fighting a rabbit. Generally speaking, he rushed straight towards the carriage in the middle. When he jumped in the air, the short knife hidden in his clothes had already been drawn into his hand.
Under such a violent collision, both carriages must have been damaged. Li Hu had already made plans to take advantage of the chaos and leap forward to hold the important person in the carriage hostage with a short blade. However, when he was still jumping in the air, , but suddenly found that the situation was somewhat unexpected.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the carriages of the two carriages collided heavily, but only one carriage was broken, and the other was intact, which was the carriage in the middle.
The carriages of the two carriages are both painted with red paint, and they are very luxurious with carved dragons and embroideries. From the outside, they don't look much different, but their sturdiness is very different. After a collision, one almost turned into pieces. The other one doesn't even have any gravure damage, which shows that its material is completely different.
At this time, Li Hu's body had landed on the roof of the carriage. Without thinking too much, he reached out to pull the door, but it was tied from the inside and could not be pulled at all.
Without being able to enter the carriage, it was impossible to take hostages. But he felt a cold light flashing in front of his eyes, and he was attacking with one sword after another. It was the two strongest masters among the guards, the middle-aged man who wielded the Nine-ring Sword and the man. A young man wielding a sword.
Li Hu turned over and spun quickly, slashing the air with the nine-ring knife, and struck the carriage with a "dang" sound, sparks flying everywhere.
Just now, the middle-aged man killed two horses with one knife. The sharpness of the knife was evident. However, the carriage was hit with the knife, but no trace was left. It turned out that the carriage was actually made of fine steel. , which is even harder than ordinary swords and weapons.
It is not easy to build such a carriage, and its cost must be high. And the status of the person who can sit in such a carriage is even more important.
But at this moment, Li Hu couldn't even think about it. He curled up on the roof of the car and rolled quickly, dodging the middle-aged man's two swords. With the short sword in his hand, he had already fought five moves with the young man who wielded the sword.
With a "chi" sound, the clothes on Li Hu's right shoulder had been torn open by the sword edge.
The middle-aged man's strong wrist was strong and he used the sword fiercely, but Li Hu could still see the path of the sword clearly and dodge in time. However, the swordsmanship of the other young man was extremely exquisite, and the swords he struck were all unpredictable. It's like a tangled thread spinning around, making it impossible to trace, leaving him almost unable to resist.
Li Hu didn't know that just these few moves made the middle-aged strong man and the young swordsman feel quite surprised. They didn't expect that with their martial arts and identities, the two of them could not defeat the person in front of them. An unspectacular killer.
The middle-aged man's surname is Lu Mingrong, and the young swordsman's name is Lan Haochen. Both of them are commanders of the fifth rank of the imperial guard.
In the past, there was a saying among the Jinyi Guards of "South Sun and North Xue", which refers to the two commanders Sun Duhe and Xue Yuan. These two people have died successively, and now the strongest masters are Lan Haochen and Lu Proud.
Especially Lan Haochen, although he is not very old, he has learned an excellent swordsmanship from a long time ago, and he has already gained the reputation of being the best master of the Jin Yi Guard. In terms of martial arts, he is even better than Sun Yat-sen's in the past. The two of them, Xue, were even worse.
The two strongest men among the Jinyiwei were unable to defeat an assassin even when they joined forces. When word of this spread, the prestige of the Ouchi Jinyiwei was really about to be wiped out.
Of course, Li Hu didn't know what Lan and Lu were thinking. He just felt that the other party's martial arts were very strong. It would be useless to entangle with them. He rolled forward several feet and escaped from Lan Haochen's sword circle. The top of the carriage fell down, and a kick flew out in mid-air, kicking the driver who was sitting under him and fell out, while he landed firmly on the shaft of the carriage.
There were two "snap" sounds, and the two horses in front of the car received a severe whip on their buttocks. They roared and immediately rushed forward with their hooves.
The carriage in the middle is not only extremely sturdy, but the two horses on the shaft are also the best horses in a thousand. They are much better than the mare that the previous carriage was equipped with. The fierce tiger whips to drive the two horses hard. He rushed out, immediately knocked away the two guards blocking the front, and pulled the carriage down the Tianqiao Street.
Originally, Tianqiao Street was crowded with people watching the excitement, but after the chaos just now, everyone fled in all directions. Now more than half of them have fled, and the street is quite empty. Li Hu drives the carriage straight ahead, There was no obstacle,
