Winter has officially entered. In the evening, some snowflakes drifted sporadically. The snow was not heavy. The snowflakes turned into moist air before they fell to the ground. When the wind came, it suddenly became a bit chilly, and the temperature was lower than during the day.
It dropped a lot all of a sudden.
Gouwa was holding a gun. As soon as he went to the street and was blown by the cold wind, he shivered involuntarily: "Damn it, it's really cold tonight. Fortunately, my mother-in-law was careful and dug out the dog skin waistcoat. Otherwise,
After half a night's stay, why don't you freeze like a human being?"
He turned his head and looked at the soldiers in his team. All of them were hunching their necks, and couldn't help but smile: "Blessed are those who have a wife. My Qiuxiang doesn't look good, but she knows how cold it is and how hot she is.
Love your own man."
He touched the two steamed buns and a large piece of stewed beef that his wife had forced into his arms. Tsk tsk, it was still a little warm. Gouwa proudly puffed up his chest and shouted in a low voice: "Everyone is in good spirits."
Come on, watch the night!"
So, a small team started patrolling the streets...
Tuobawu's home was crowded at the moment. The tribesmen were all crowded in the back house. They were all holding bright weapons, and some were wearing simple leather armors. They stared with a pair of fierce eyes and a bloodthirsty look on their faces.
A murderous attitude.
"This Xixia Kingdom is the Xixia Kingdom of our Tuoba family. Your Majesty can have the world today, but you relied on us to conquer the five states and relied on our Dangxiang people to make a fortune. What happens now? Your Majesty is sitting in the Dragon Court, and our Tuoba family is
Not only did people not get any benefits, they didn't get the richest pastures, and they didn't assign various cities as city lords, but they also had to use some benefits to distribute to other tribes. That's all, the king used the excuse to recruit the Han Chan brothers a few days ago.
If they disobey the king's orders, cut off their heads, cancel the hereditary system of the tribe, and remove the Weiwu tribe from now on!"
"Without a headman, you are like a child without a father and mother, and you are still bullied by others. Without a headman, who will be the master of your country? In this prairie, every family is single.
Wei, how do you survive? Your Majesty is the adopted son of Mr. Li Guangcen of the Tuoba family. Why do you treat our people like this? Just because there are... around him, Ding Chengzong, Lin Pengyu, Qin Jiang, and someone named Xu and Xiao.
Those who confuse the king, as well as Li Jitan, Li Tianlun, Tuoba Cangmu and other scoundrels who have repeatedly made slanders and confuse the king."
"Tonight, we kill the traitor and oust the king. This is not only to fight for the interests of our tribe, but also to protect the king and protect the world of our Tuoba family. Tonight, we are not the only ones to take action. Hundreds of Tuoba tribes work together to fight against each other.
A grand ceremony. Everyone tied the white towels distributed around their left arms. Anyone who is not wearing a towel is not one of our people and will be shot without mercy!!"
There was a buzzing sound in the courtyard. After a moment, Tuoba Wu swept away the tribesmen who were ready, waved the long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Let's go!"
Gouwa was cruising on the street when he suddenly saw a group of people rushing in front of him. He immediately stepped forward to meet them and shouted: "Stop, who is going out on the street without authorization in the middle of the night? Didn't you know that the court has issued a curfew?"
As he spoke, he had already tightened his grip on the spear in his hand. Unexpectedly, the people he faced didn't respond at all. They were hit with a barrage of arrows. The soldiers patrolling the city were caught off guard and were shot down immediately. They screamed again and again.
I saw a big man in Hu clothes with white scarves tied on his arms rushing towards him, with a ferocious expression on his face, and he slashed with a knife.
That round of arrows had already wounded several of the patrolling team. A few who were lucky enough not to be hit by arrows had no time to escape. Enemies like wolves and tigers pounced on them and killed them in a matter of seconds.
Cut it into mincemeat. Tuoba Wu gently pulled out his bloody long knife. A soldier on the ground who was hit by an arrow and screamed had stopped breathing.
Tuoba Wu waved his hand and shouted: "Time is urgent, go straight to the palace!"
Hundreds of tribesmen left in a hurry following him. The leather boots squeaked with blood all over the ground.
After the group of people left, there was a sudden movement in the pile of dead bodies, and a man with a face full of blood crawled out. He touched his chest with lingering fear, and found an arrow in the middle of his heart. Fortunately, it was a large piece stuck in his heart.
The beef and two steamed buns blocked it, and the arrow did not penetrate deep into the meat, so it was not fatal. He pulled it out hard, threw the arrow to the ground, and looked at the many robes where the corpses were lying, and his lips trembled.
, quickly dodged into an alley.
After a while, a cloud-piercing firework exploded out of the alley, ringing in the dark sky. A brilliant firework...
At this time, Tuoba Cangmu, holding two swords in hand, led his tribe to kill a group of people who were besieging his mansion. This group of people belonged to a small tribe of the Tuoba family. The leader of the tribe was a fat man with a short stature. He usually met
He always smiled before saying anything, and was extremely flattering. Unexpectedly, this short fat man looked like a leopard at this time. He actually cut off a piece of flesh from his thigh with a knife, which weighed half a kilogram. It was so painful that he had to pull out his teeth.
Grinning.
"Damn it, luckily I listened to Jitan's reminder and sent my family out quietly a long time ago. Otherwise, if I had been in trouble here, my whole family would have confessed. My daughter-in-law Mabuyer was just pregnant with my child.
My little grandson."
Tuoba Cangmu breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, a firework flag and arrow burst through the sky in the night sky, which was extremely gorgeous. Then, fireworks were lit up in various places in the city. Tuoba Cangmu tightened his skin and shouted
He said: "No, these thieves have indeed gone to the palace."
He looked back at the hundreds of tribesmen who were closely following him, and shouted: "Come on, follow me to the palace, and King Qin will save you!"
At the same time, Tuoba Wu also saw the fireworks lighting up in the night sky, and couldn't help but smile ferociously: "Your Majesty, be careful, hum. Now that your whereabouts have been revealed, there is no need to cover up. Just rush forward. Just rush over."
, no need to be entangled in war, hurry to the palace gate and join other tribes!"
The subordinates agreed, let go of their hands and feet, and rushed towards the palace with fighting and shouting. Facing them, a group of officers and soldiers with pistols and shields lined up to greet them, and they started fighting again...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The reaction of the imperial court was not unpleasant. The palace guards were in the hands of Ding Chengzong, and they had already closed the palace gates of the inner city. There were many soldiers on the city wall, arrows like rain, trying their best to suppress the more and more Tuo soldiers who gathered in the square.
The Ba clan people, and the city guards were controlled by four generals, Yang Yanpu, Tuoba Haofeng, Li Jitan, and Jupiter. When something happened in the city, they immediately sent their troops to help. By this time, there was a fire everywhere in the city. The people who originally fled to Xingzhou for refuge
Countless people fled in panic, and it was difficult to distinguish the bandits from the people for a while, which greatly delayed the time for the four armies to return for reinforcements.
In front of the palace gate, Tuoba Wu, Tuoba Qingyun and other soldiers gathered together.
"Have you caught the seed?"
"No, this old boy is not in the house. It is said that he went drinking with Ding Chengzong."
"Hmph, I knew they were colluding together. Likewise, if you catch Ding Chengzong, you will catch Zhongfang."
"Did Lin Pengyu catch him?"
"No, I arrested a family member and forced him to confess. He said that this old guy went to the widow Liu's house in the west of the city to spend the night. I have sent someone there."
"Hey, this old bastard has an old heart. I will help him and let him be a romantic ghost. Where is Fan Siqi? He is the God of Wealth of our Xixia Kingdom. Can you control him?"
The person responsible for the raid on Fan Shangshu's residence squeezed in panting: "I didn't catch him, and I don't know where this kid went."
"It doesn't matter, have you caught his family? The one surnamed Fan is just a precious son. He controls the younger one and is not afraid of the old one going to heaven."
"I haven't caught him either. It is said that his wife and children have returned to their parents' home."
"Go back to your mother...go back to your mother!"
Tuoba Wu was anxious, and he didn't care that the other party was also the leader of the clan, and cursed loudly: "That bastard was originally from the Han Dynasty, and his parents' home is far away from here. Now he is under the rule of the Song Dynasty, and he is about to count nine cold winters.
At this time, his wife and children are returning to their parents’ home? You’re such a thoughtless thing…”
"not good!"
Before he finished scolding, Tuoba Wu's face suddenly changed: "How come it's such a coincidence? None of them are at home. The real owner didn't catch them. Did any of their family members get caught?"
Tuoba Wu stared at him, and the leaders from all walks of life looked at each other. No one answered, and Tuoba's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of his heart.
"boom!"
A fire lotus bloomed in the sky, followed by countless torches lighting up from all directions. The city guards who arrived in time were surrounded on three sides, with spears and halberds, short knives and giant shields, layers of copper walls and iron walls, as powerful as a mountain!
Behind them was the tall and majestic palace wall. On the marching path on the palace wall, there were densely packed palace guards and soldiers, all holding bows and crossbows, waiting in full formation.
All the leaders looked at each other and turned pale. Suddenly, the lights on the Meridian Gate were bright, and flags and flags were fluttering on both sides. A man slowly appeared in the tower, wearing a white robe with a round collar and a green Zhuge scarf on his head. He was sitting on a square chair with wooden wheels.
In his hand... there was actually a feather fan gently shaking in his hand, it was none other than Ding Chengzong.
Does the feather fan and silk scarf on a cold day match Zhuge Liang? When he saw Ding Chengzong's appearance, Tuo Bawu's nose almost turned crooked with anger.
Zhuge Liang was famous among the barbarian Hu Di clan, and his image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Tuo Bawu naturally knew about it.
"Tuoba Qingyun, Batuo Wu... How come so many dignitaries came to the Meridian Gate in the middle of the night? I am late to greet you. I apologize for my sin."
On the city tower, Ding Chengzong laughed loudly and said loudly: "I just don't know what you want to do when you hold open fire and gather at the palace gate at night?"
"In this case, the whole matter must have been exposed long ago. Could it be that there is a traitor among us?"
Tuo Bawu glanced behind him, suppressed the doubts in his heart, raised his head, pointed his halberd and shouted: "Ding Chengzong, don't be pretentious, do you think that you will be sure of victory if you get the news early? Our troops have gathered together, and our strength is no less than that of the palace guards.
The total number of city guards will fight to the death, and the outcome is unpredictable."
Tuoba Wu raised his arms and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are the great king of my Tuoba clan. Ding Chengzong held your Majesty hostage and excluded our clan with evil intentions. We want to clear the king, restore the king's power, purge the palace, and kill the traitors. Leaders of all clans, in order to
Great cause, kill!"
Tuo Bawu gave an order, and countless arrows immediately flew into the air and hit the Meridian Gate Tower. Ding Chengzong chuckled, and the wheeled cart slid back suddenly. The two giant shields closed in front of them, like two door panels, "
There was a "ding, dong, dong, don't" sound, and the door panel suddenly became thorny.
Immediately, the lights on the tower dimmed, all the torches were extinguished, and there was complete silence. Then, several dark things were thrown out of the night sky. Although it was night, the sky was slightly clear after all, so the color was darker than the sky.
The things are still vaguely visible.
"What is that? Get out of the way quickly!"
The Tuoba clan members also said that there was a trebuchet installed in the inner city. This thing is easy to use to destroy the city, but it is not very useful for killing people. Everyone moved out of the way, and saw seven or eight dark things falling to the ground suddenly, and they were suddenly broken into pieces.
, Tuoba Qingyun couldn't help but be surprised. He grabbed a torch from his subordinate's hand and took a closer look.
When he lowered his head, he saw a kind of black oily liquid spreading everywhere on the ground. He raised the whip and felt that it was sticky to his feet. So he came closer to look, and smelled a smell with his nose. He couldn't help but said in shock: "This is
It’s fierce fire oil!”
Before he could say a word, the city was dotted with stars, like bright lights. Hundreds of rockets rained down all over the sky, igniting the fire oil with a bang. Tuoba Qingyun's head was standing in the fire oil, and he suddenly burned into a burning man.
, Tuoba Qingyun screamed, and the fire hit his face, making it difficult to open his eyes. He could only run out with his eyes closed, and the fire oil was sticky under his feet. When he ran, his leather boots slipped, and he fell on his back. His whole body suddenly fell down.
It's the same color as the fire.
All around, the Tuoba clan members stared dumbly at Tuoba Qingyun, who danced like fire and screamed like a slaughtered pig. Then, they heard the whistling wind, and many tribal warriors fell down screaming, beside Tuoba Wu
A man fell straight down, with a sharp arrow stuck straight in his back. The arrow had penetrated to the feathers of the arrow, and its strength was amazing. It must be a top-grade bow equipped by the palace guards.
Tuoba Wu's eyes turned red and he shouted: "Suppress the city with bows and arrows, attack from three sides!"
They also secretly built some siege equipment in the mansion. The inner city is not as tall and steep as the outer city. These relatively simple equipment are enough. However, it is impossible to successfully siege the city now. The city guards are watching from three sides. Will they allow it?
Are they attacking the palace? Besides, there are seven or eight flames burning in the crowd, and they are now a group of living targets. The palace guards are hiding in the dark, and they can kill them with only arrows. Only the city guards who surround them on three sides
Only when the army was brought in to engage in a melee could they stop the threat of arrows at the top of the city. In terms of numbers, their numbers were not lower than those of the city guards who were surrounded on three sides. If the palace guards did not open the door to meet the enemy, their strength would still be higher than that of the city guards.
It turns out there is still a chance of winning.
After sacrificing thousands of lives, the military formations of Li Jitan and Yang Yanpu were the first to break through, and the two sides fell into a melee. As the melee began, the arrows on the top of the city lost their effect, and the people on Tuobawu's side no longer had to worry about anything.
Start giving it a try.
The fire was blazing, and countless soldiers fought desperately. The soldiers in the blood fell one by one, but no one retreated, and there was no way to retreat. They were in front of and behind them, on their left and right, either the enemy or the enemy. Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and they were slaughtering wantonly.
No matter what moves or martial arts, they have no effect in such a melee between the two armies. The swords, guns, swords and halberds are like a violent storm. The competition is who is stronger, who is faster, and who is more decisive and cruel.
, who is stronger and can withstand being hacked and killed? When they meet each other, life and death will appear immediately.
Finally, the people on Tuobawu's side were completely suppressed. The flames of the fierce fire oil were already a little weak. Tuobawu's people were completely suppressed in the middle. They still had the strength to fight. If they resisted stubbornly, they could at least consume more of the city.
The Guards had half the strength, but defeat was inevitable, and everyone was filled with despair.
"Surrender!"
"Surrender!"
The shouts were majestic and resounded from all directions, the lights on the city tower reappeared, and Ding Chengzong appeared again, shouting with a calm face: "The situation is over, why don't you surrender?"
"surrender!"
"surrender!"
The palace guards shouted in unison, the sound shook the heaven and the earth. The faces of the Tuoba troops were ashen, but they still gritted their teeth and prepared for the attack.
Li Jitan shouted loudly: "Toba Wu, Tuoba Qingyun, for their own selfish interests, tempted you and others to rebel. Now that the situation is over and the defeat is certain, are you still stubborn and follow them to the road to hell? Give up your weapons immediately.
If you surrender, your Majesty will definitely open your eyes and spare you the chance of death."
Li Jitan was injured, and with the blood splattered on his body, he looked even more powerful like a murderer. The dark crowd in front of the palace gate was silent for a while, and a leader in front said in a trembling voice: "Jitan,
You...are you telling the truth? Your Majesty...Your Majesty, can you really forgive us?"
Li Jitan glanced at him and recognized that he was an elder of his clan. He should be his cousin in terms of seniority, and said: "Sixth Uncle, Your Majesty is my Buddha and Dharma Protector. He uses thunderbolt methods and has the heart of a Bodhisattva. The first evildoer must be punished.
As long as you repent, the king will not kill you, but...the law is strict and punishment is inevitable."
"Don't listen to his nonsense, he is the scum of our Tuoba clan, kill him! We, the Tuoba clan, can only die standing up, no one lives on their knees!"
There was a loud shout from the crowd, but it was Tuoba Wu who spoke. Tuo Bawu broke his arm in the melee. He lost too much blood and his face was pale. He stood there shaky but still supported himself strongly.
Li Jitan also shouted loudly: "Tuo Bawu is the culprit, kill him, bring him down, and apologize to our king!"
Tuo Bawu had a ferocious look on his face, and he had the intention to rush in front of Li Jitan and chop him with a knife. Unfortunately, he knew his own affairs, and he also knew that with his weak body, if he really wanted to rush in front of Li Jitan, he would just test the knife for him.
.
The crowd continued to be silent. After a long time, a pair of eyes gradually moved back from the enemy in front and cast it on Tuoba Wu. At first, those eyes were still a little hesitant, but gradually, they began to lock on him. The eyes of the pair under the firelight
The faint gaze is like a pack of wild wolves that choose people to eat...
"boom……"
When Tuoba Wu was cut into pieces by his tribesmen and his head rolled to the ground, his eyes were wide open and he could not rest in peace. The palace door slowly opened, and the ceremonial guards slowly lined up. In the middle, there was a yellow umbrella cover, and Yang Hao's python robe and jade belt.
, a majestic white horse under its crotch, shines on stage under the protection of the imperial guards like stars holding the moon in their arms.
Yang Yanpu shouted loudly: "The king has arrived, but he still hasn't given up his weapons!"
There was a "ding, clang, clang" sound, weapons were thrown down everywhere, and the Tuoba clan members who wanted to Qingjun knelt on the ground in darkness. The city guards were watching them with bows and crossbows. If there was any slight movement, they would fire a volley of arrows.
The king's ceremonial guard stopped in the blood-stained square. The city guards on three sides all cast their gazes on their king. One of them had a pair of eyes that suddenly flashed in the deep night, just like those just now.
The Tuoba clan members stared at Tuoba Wu with wolf-like eyes, as if they were seeing a piece of delicious mutton...
