As he spoke, Shao Yan made a gesture in a leisurely manner, and the four masters quickly took their bows and arrows from their saddles and shot them into the air. The four carved feather arrows exploded simultaneously deep in the clouds. This was Shao Yan's move.
A new type of weapon developed by himself for the first time in ancient times. It was euphemistically called "Arrow Strikes the Sky". When he first attacked Changqing City, Shao Yan used sky lanterns to attack the enemy towers at night. Later, he used the original
Basic modifications were made, and just like that, the first signal flare of this era was born.
Following a loud "collapse", a moment later, hundreds of young men dressed as ordinary people suddenly came around. Yes, these people were the 500 dead soldiers who protected Shao Yan. It turned out that they had been hiding nearby.
, after receiving the 'signal' from the four masters, they rushed over from all directions and surrounded Mu Zhiping and others as quickly as possible. Just waiting for Shao Yan's order, a decisive battle broke out instantly.
Facing these five hundred fierce faces, Mu Zhiping broke into a cold sweat, and his subordinates were even more frightened. Although they all knew that the emperor had such a strong team around him, they did not expect it to be so fast, which was even more puzzling.
Yes, these people had obviously rushed to the capital, but why did they suddenly appear here? Just when Mu Zhiping felt puzzled, Chang Yixiao shouted angrily: "Those who don't want to die, throw away their weapons to me."
The Liang soldiers were stunned for a moment. Chang Yixiao saw that they did not make any concessions, so he made a gesture. Donglin's dead soldier held a big sword in his hand and pressed towards them step by step. The Liang soldiers swallowed nervously.
, but refused to put down the weapons in his hands easily.
Mu Zhiping knew very well that the five hundred dead men in front of him were all loyal and brave men selected by the emperor. Once the two sides fought, he would definitely be the one to suffer. He would definitely be deceiving himself if he said he was not afraid, but this guy
He is the kind of person who cares about face. Naturally, he will not beg Shao Yan for mercy in front of so many of his subordinates. Seeing that this guy's eyes kept rolling around, Shao Yan decided to make a final effort and said: "Mu Zhiping, I
For the sake of Uncle Mu and Miss Mu, I will give you another chance. As long as you are willing to let him go, I can spare your life."
Mu Zhiping snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty, please stop wasting your words. I, Mu Zhiping, have only been loyal to the Emperor of Daliang in my life. We are each the banner masters. I have not fallen into your hands yet.
Even if you kill me, your Donglin country will still be unsafe."
"Presumptuous!" Chang Yi smiled and shouted: "Mu Zhiping, do you know? Just based on your rebellious words, we can kill you right now. The reason why the emperor spared your life is to give you one last chance.
If you give up on your own, then you will blame the emperor."
Yes, yes, this little guy is talking more and more like an adult. Shao Yan cast a look of approval at him, Chang Yi smiled as if he was greatly encouraged, and then said to those Liang soldiers: "Those who know the current affairs are the ones who know the current affairs."
Junjie, those who play with fire will surely burn themselves. You can't get out today, so you'd better be captured as soon as possible. If you have to use force, I'm afraid not one of you can get out alive."
The Liang soldiers lowered their heads and whispered among themselves. As Chang Yixiao said, in terms of force, they could not defeat Donglin's dead soldiers and the four masters. Mu Zhiping saw that their morale was low, so he ordered those few rebels to be killed.
The leader is brought to the front of the team
"Your Majesty, if you don't want them to die, you'd better ask all your people to retreat." Mu Zhiping held his sword against the head of a leader and said with a half-smile.
Damn it, your mother, you dare to play tricks on me. Shao Yan shook his head and sighed: "I have already given you a chance, but it is a pity that you are still so stubborn. Don't think that I will take you if there is a hostage in your hands."
There is no way." He said and made an attack gesture, and the five hundred soldiers compressed towards the center.
"Humph, since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust." Seeing that this trick had no effect at all, Mu Zhiping simply slashed the leader's neck with a knife. He only heard a scream, and the man fell in a pool of blood on the spot.
When the other leaders saw this, they violently broke away from the soldiers around them and banged their heads against Mu Zhiping with all their might. Mu Zhiping was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.
The leaders stepped forward together, but their hands were tied, so they kicked Mu Zhiping with their feet. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Liang soldiers immediately slashed at them with their swords. In an instant, all the leaders died.
, only Mu Boqing was spared. Seeing his former brothers fall one by one, his eyes were moist. At this moment, hatred had completely replaced family affection in his heart. He used all his strength to break the rope around him, like crazy.
He rushed towards Mu Zhiping, but unexpectedly bumped into Mu Zhiping's knife edge. Suddenly, he felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he could vaguely see an angry face, and he even spat at himself.
The moment he fell, he turned around with difficulty and waved to Shao Yan. Shao Yan was sad and angry. He immediately rode his horse and rushed towards Mu Zhiping and others with a sword. Chang Yixiao, the four masters, and
The five hundred dead soldiers drowned all the Liang soldiers like a tide.
The screams of fighting, the flashes of swords and blood shadows... are all staged here. The atmosphere is filled with the smell of blood, which makes people feel sick after smelling it.
All the Liang soldiers fell down, until Mu Zhiping was left alone. After a hard fight, this guy's hair became very messy, his head and body were covered with blood, and the hand holding the knife was trembling.
Seeing that Donglin soldiers were all surrounding him, not only did he not feel any fear, but instead he sometimes shouted wildly and sometimes laughed loudly.
The soldiers compressed towards him in a cover-up style. Mu Zhiping subconsciously smoothed the messy bangs in front of his forehead, then calmly picked up the knife and put it against his neck, making a suicidal posture. Just as he
The moment he was about to cut hard, an arrow flew from nowhere and hit his wrist. He was so painful that he quickly threw away the big knife in his hand.
"Mu Zhiping, you have killed so many people, and you just want to die like this. It's a beautiful thought for you." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shao Yan walking towards him with a bow and arrow in his hand.
Mu Zhiping covered the wound on his wrist and said disdainfully: "Don't I even have the right to die?"
"Yes, of course!" Shao Yan said as he picked up the knife that Mu Zhiping had thrown away from the ground. He found that the edge of the knife was very blunt and could not cut anything at all. He couldn't help but smiled coldly and said: "I'm afraid this knife is...
I can't even cut off the pork, but you use it to wipe your neck. It's really hard for you."
Mu Zhiping's face suddenly turned red. In fact, he was just pretending just now. The purpose was to attract Shao Yan's attention. Unexpectedly, Shao Yan would play a trick with him, which made him feel very proud.
Seeing that he hesitated for a long time without saying a word, Shao Yan handed his sword to him and said: "It is better to use my Shangfang sword, it is more suitable for you."
Mu Zhiping bit his lips lightly, fell to his knees with both legs, and said with red eyes: "Your Majesty, I realize that I am wrong, please spare my life."
Alas, it is the saddest thing for a person to be so shameless. Shao Yan shook his head feebly and said casually: "I'll spare you, you have the ability to beat me with this sword." As he said this, he forced the Shang Fang sword in his hand.
In his hand, Mu Zhiping was overjoyed. Without saying a word, he picked up the sword and stabbed Shao Yan in the chest. Chang Yi smiled when he saw how vicious he was with his sword. He wanted to kill him on the spot, but Shao Yan was killed.
Yan was stopped
Shao Yan used to learn swordsmanship from Bai Ruxue and Yunyun. He would practice it when he had nothing to do. As time went by, he gradually became better with practice. He tried to combine two completely different swordsmanship and changed it into a new one.
A set of strange sword techniques. So far, he has not tried the power of this sword technique, so he wanted to take this opportunity to try it himself.
In order to save his life, Mu Zhiping stabbed his vital parts with his swords and swords, and finally let Shao Yan avoid him. Mu Zhiping held the sword with both hands and used a hungry wolf attack to pounce on Shao Yan. Shao Yan could only
Shao Yan turned slightly to the side and blocked the attack with the back of his sword. "Dang", Mu Zhiping immediately missed him and came back again. He raised his sword and attacked his lower body. Shao Yan got up his horse and waited for the opponent's sword to come over.
, he pressed the knife hard on it, and his movements were lightning fast. Mu Zhiping struggled to pull out the sword. Shao Yan took advantage of his unsteady heel, went around his back, and hit his back hard with the back of the knife. Mu Zhiping
He spat out a mouthful of blood and took several steps forward.
Seeing that he was seriously injured, Shao Yan didn't want to continue competing with him, so he threw away the sword in his hand and turned away. Chang Yixiao shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful!" Little did he know that Mu Zhiping behind him suddenly raised his sword and pointed at his back.
Shao Yan was already prepared for the back stabbing. He quickly took out the small dagger from his sleeve and moved his body aside. When Mu Zhiping jumped into the air, he suddenly turned over and stabbed the small dagger directly into the opponent's heart. Mu Zhiping shook his head.
His body shook and he fell limply to the ground.
…
After burying Mu Boqing and others, Shao Yan organized the remaining rebels in the village into his own banner, selected two more prestigious people as leaders, and ordered them to set up posts based on the previous layout.
On this basis, additional posts and sentries were added to prevent the Liang and Chu armies from sneak attacks.
The rest of the journey was fairly peaceful. Apart from a few Chu army checkpoints along the way, nothing seemed to be out of place. After Shao Yan and others put on makeup, they easily sneaked into Luojing City.
Luojing is the largest city in the Donglin Kingdom. Like other cities, it is divided into four gates. Each gate has 5,000 troops stationed, totaling more than 20,000 people. Among them, the south gate is the most important, because the south gate is directly
Leading to the palace, it is said that not long ago, the Chu army defeated six cities in a row, all the way to the south gate. Since the south gate was empty at that time, the other three gates rushed to respond, and the Chu army was driven out ten miles away.
However, the Chu army relied on their large numbers and sent troops to harass them, but they were all stubbornly blocked by the soldiers. The general of the Chu army, Qin Ling, was brave and good at fighting. In less than half a month, he led his troops to continuously attack the east, west and north.
At the gate, only the last barrier of the south gate was left. Zhang Huaide, the city guard general, led 10,000 troops to guard the south gate for more than half a month. After Qinling captured the other three gates, they first cut them off from the outside world.
channel of communication, hoping to force them to surrender in Kaicheng
However, the soldiers led by Zhang Huaide would rather die of hunger, thirst, or even illness than open the city gate. This really moved Shao Yan.
At this moment, the streets and alleys were in chaos. People were packing their bags and running for their lives. Roosters were crowing and dogs were barking everywhere, and smoke was thick. As Shao Yan walked on the street, the scene in his sight was so depressing that it was completely unimaginable.
out of the bustling scene back then
The doors of every house were closed, and only one restaurant had its door open. He saw a blue flag of Chu flying under the eaves. Chang Yixiao was so angry that he immediately ran over and chopped it into pieces with a knife. At this time, inside the house,
Several drunken soldiers rushed out. Shao Yan saw that they were wearing blue armor, and he saw that they were Chu soldiers.
"You - what kind of job are you doing?" A soldier stared at Chang Yixiao with red eyes and shouted.
Are you mistaken? Why does this tone sound a bit like Little Japan? Shao Yan was startled, and then brought the four masters to the door of the restaurant. The Chu soldier quickly turned his attention to him, confused.
Said: "You, it's him - he's the boss -"
Oh, I didn’t expect that there would be Japanese devils in this era. Shao Yan smiled helplessly: “I am their boss.”
The Chu soldier drank a lot and burped violently. The smell of alcohol and stench filled the sky. Shao Yan and others quickly covered their noses. Not long after, a shop assistant came into the room. The strange thing was that he was not wearing the right clothes.
It's not Hanfu, but a kimono, with a small braid on the back of the head. It looks like a Qing Dynasty person and a Japanese person. In short, it is the dress he hates the most.
