Zhang Gui's left leg was disabled and he could not escape at all. Moreover, escaping in the middle of battle was not part of his character. He was stubborn by nature. Zhang Gui forced himself to endure the severe pain of the severe injury to his left leg. He concentrated all his strength on his hands and tried to seal the opponent. This move.
Things backfired. Even if he wasn't injured, Zhang Gui was far from Fang Chenqian's enemy. This difference in realm cannot be made up for by perseverance.
Unyielding. Would rather die than surrender. This is Zhang Gui's belief in walking around the world for many years.
At this moment, there was an explosion of bombs from the gate of the gunpowder prison. Yang Liazhenjia, who was behind Fang Chenqian, immediately shouted: "Master, let's go quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Chenqian and Zhang Gui had already exchanged blows. There was a "bang" sound. Zhang Gui suddenly felt as if his whole body was falling apart. His throat felt sweet, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. .The whole person turned into a bloody man at this moment. Zhang Gui had a strong will. Although he was shocked to death by the opponent's palm, he still insisted on standing still.
Fang Chenqian sneered, turned and left. However, when leaving, he also secretly praised, "This General Song is a hero."
He was still able to maintain his standing posture under Fang Chen's palm. In addition to Zhang Gui's extremely tough character, he also had to thank the explosion and Yang Lianzhenjia's cry just now.
Even Fang Chenqian, a peerless expert, felt timid about the destructive power produced by the explosion of a thrown bomb. The kind of firearm that killed dozens of his subordinates in an instant was indeed too terrifying. It was too overbearing. So much so that the explosion just now The shouts of Yang Liazhenjia caused his thinking to pause briefly. When he took action, he subconsciously withdrew three points of his strength.
Although the time blocked by Zhang Gui was very short, it was enough for Yun Zhongfei and others to rush to the gate of the outer courtyard. Seizing the opportunity, Yun Zhongfei threw the second and last projectile he carried. This Although the thrown bomb did not kill many people, it frightened the masked man who was still in the gunpowder prison.
Zhang Gui sacrificed his life to stop the enemy, buying time for Yun Zhongfei and others. Yun Zhongfei threw the projectile in time. Although it was not thrown directly at Fang Chenqian, it could be considered as indirectly helping Zhang Gui. Maybe this It's the so-called providence in the dark.
Fang Chenqian and Yang Lianzhenjia led the way. The martial arts of these two people were so strong. Although they were all bare-handed, none of Zhang Gui's personal guards dared to take advantage of his skills. In addition, Wang Shangyuan and others behind him were also highly skilled in martial arts. The dozens of guards outside the door were pressed so hard that they couldn't get close.
Although more than 600 men in black rushed out, those men in black who stayed in the Gunpowder Prison were not so lucky. In addition, several elders all evacuated. The men in black who had no morale fell one by one. He was cut down to the ground by the outnumbered Song army.
Yun Zhongfei knew that he was not the enemy of Fang Chenqian and others. He was also worried that the man in black and his accomplices were hiding in the gunpowder prison, so he gave up the idea of pursuing him. Yun Zhongfei looked back at the door and saw that his side was completely After taking control of the situation, he quickly took a few steps forward and came to Zhang Gui. Yun Zhongfei and Zhang Gui had met once before. He saw that Zhang Gui was covered in blood, but he still stood there. He hurriedly said: "General Zhang."
There was no response. Yun Zhongfei's heart sank. He raised his voice slightly and shouted again: "General Zhang."
This time Zhang Gui reacted, but instead of answering Yun Zhongfei, he made a plop, stifled his body back, and fell to the ground.
Zhang Gui, who was severely injured, relied entirely on a subconscious idea to support his body. When his consciousness "saw" Yun Zhongfei approaching, he immediately relaxed and this idea was completely dispersed.
Yun Zhongfei hurriedly checked Zhang Gui's injuries. He saw that his pulse was scattered. If it was there or not, it was obvious that his life was hanging by a thread. He hurriedly put his hand on Zhang Gui's head and injected his inner breath into his body. Although Yun Zhongfei's martial arts is not as good as Wen Zhang, Lan Yu and others. But he is also from the authentic Buddhist sect. It is also helpful to Zhang Gui who is wandering on the Naihe Bridge.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the depressed Yun Zhongfei asked someone to bring a stretcher. He asked the guards who had followed Zhang Gui to quickly escort the unconscious Zhang Gui back to Lin'an City.
At this time, a thousand Lin'an reinforcements from the South Gate followed Zhang Heng and arrived outside the Gunpowder Prison. This Song army stationed at the South Gate belonged to the Marine Corps of the Song Dynasty Navy, that is, Zhang Gui's subordinates.
Yun Zhongfei took two steps forward and said to the generals of the army: "I am the commander of the Imperial Guard, Yun Zhongfei, who is in charge of guarding the Gunpowder Prison. The war here has come to an end. For the time being, you are responsible for the defense of the Gunpowder Prison. The men in black made a sneak attack again. I immediately entered the palace and waited for instructions from my superiors."
The leading general clasped his fists and said, "Yes. Your Majesty."
Although the official position of the commander is not high, the leadership of the Imperial Guard is quite different. Everyone knows that the Imperial Guard is the personal bodyguard of the royal family. Of course this general knows it. There are five commanders in the Imperial Guard camp. All of them are skilled in martial arts. Gao Qiang. Even though his military rank is higher than that of his opponent, he still accepted the order respectfully.
Yun Zhongfei clasped his fists in return and gave a few words to the guards around him. He told them to take strict precautions and not to let down their guard, let alone chase the man in black. He would make arrangements after he came back. After that, Yun Zhongfei didn't care about his clothes. They were all covered in blood. They got on their horses and galloped towards Lin'an City.
According to the prior agreement, Zhao Bao, Shi Yanzhi and Fan Wenhuan arrived outside the palace gate on time after inspecting the east, west and north city gates. However, one of the original four was missing. expensive.
The three of them waited for a while and saw Commander Lan Yu, the imperial guard, coming over with Yun Zhongfei.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Lan Yu said with a serious face: "Three gentlemen, the Gunpowder Supervisor was attacked. General Zhang Gui was seriously injured. Everyone, follow Lan into the palace to meet with the Queen Mother."
In Yanhe Hall, Yun Zhongfei told Xie Daoqing, Zhao Bao and others about the attack on the gunpowder supervisor in detail.
"First they burned Fenghuang Village, and then they attacked the Gunpowder Supervision. These two groups of men in black should be together. Moreover, these people must be Mongols or Song people who were bribed by the Mongols." Xie Daoqing analyzed. "If so. The people in our court gathered in crowds to rebel. They will definitely not attack the Gunpowder Monitor. According to the latest news from the Xiangfan front line, the Mongols have recently been defeated by our army's firearms. Even the Lumen Mountain camp they worked so hard to build has been destroyed. It is about to be destroyed by the artifact of our dynasty. Therefore, the only ones who are eager to destroy our gunpowder prison are the Mongols."
"The Queen Mother, Sheng Ming." Shi Yanzhi and others said in unison.
Xie Daoqing continued: "Dear dear friends, after the changes in the officialdom in the past few years, our country has shown a situation of national peace and security. Therefore, there is no possibility of large-scale riots. We are currently in the midst of the Song and Yuan wars. The defenses at each pass have been strengthened. It is very strict. It is impossible for the Mongols to send a large number of troops into our territory. Therefore, the number of these men in black will not be too large. I believe that they have no ability to attack Lin'an City. Apart from wanting to destroy our Gunpowder Monitor Apart from that, the most that can be done is to carry out destruction in my hinterland. Next, let’s discuss together how to destroy these men in black. Shi Aiqing, please tell me first.”
"Yes, the Queen Mother." Shi Yanzhi said. "The Queen Mother and the veteran believe that, first of all, it is necessary to immediately interrogate the enemy prisoners who attacked the gunpowder prison to find out the ins and outs of these men in black. Secondly, notify the towns around Lin'an City and Neighboring provinces should pay close attention and protect themselves. Third, send out capable scouts, with Lin'an City as the center, to look around. It is impossible for a team of thousands of people to leave no trace. Fourth, order Lin'an's cavalry to do anything at any time. Be ready to attack. Fifth, select a group of masters from the imperial guards, royal guards, remaining troops and dragon teeth as the main force to suppress the enemy."
"Well, everyone. Is there anything else you can add?"
Fan Wenhuan said: "What Mr. Shi said is very comprehensive. I suggest that another battalion of soldiers be assigned to the Gunpowder Supervisor to strengthen its defense force."
Xie Daoqing nodded and ordered: "Okay. Pass on the decree of this palace. First, order the Jin Yiwei to go to the gunpowder prison immediately to interrogate the prisoners; second, General Zhao Bao is still responsible for the defense of Lin'an City. He will again recruit troops from the army stationed in Lin'an. Deploy a battalion of troops to go to the Gunpowder Supervision and notify the cavalry to be ready to go out at any time. Thirdly, order the Government Affairs Council to notify surrounding government offices to pay close attention to the movements of the men in black. If there is news, report it immediately. Fourthly. Along the way to escort the firearms to Xiangfan, it is necessary to strengthen the vigilance. If necessary, additional troops can be dispatched. Fifth, Shi Aiqing and Lan Aiqing will take the lead to establish a temporary enemy suppression command office, which will be fully responsible for all matters of annihilating the men in black."
"Yes, Queen Mother. I obey the order."
"Also, hand over the injured General Zhang Gui to the imperial doctor, and ask Hans's disciples who stayed in Lin'an for consultation. It is necessary to revive General Zhang. Alright, dear friends, today's court meeting is about to begin. You guys There is no need to participate. Let’s split up immediately.”
"Yes, Queen Mother. Please leave."
As soon as they received the order from the Queen Mother, Wei Xiaoqi and Suo Wuhun personally led the interrogation experts from the Jinyi Guards and Yun Zhongfei to go to the gunpowder prison. On the way, Yun Zhongfei briefly told Xiaoqi what had happened.
"What kind of power? It's not a small one."
Yun Zhongfei said: "Commander Wei, it is indeed true. The leading ones among these men in black are extremely skilled in martial arts. The weakest among them is not inferior to Yun."
"The only ones with this kind of power are the three major families in the martial arts world and one temple and one alliance."
"Yes. That's what Yun means. Among the three major families, the Ouyang family and the Lin family have good relations with me. It should not be them. The Shaolin Temple is far to the north. The most likely ones are the Wu family and the Tiandao Alliance."
Suo Wuhun said: "There are many masters in the Tiandao League, which is consistent with this. However, the Tiandao League does not have so many soldiers. The same goes for the Wu family. Although they have been missing for many years, they are not serving the Mongols."
Xiao Qi said: "You should know it when you get to the gunpowder prison. It is impossible for a war of this scale not to leave clues."
