A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1390

[Chapter 1379 The arrow is coming]

The flags were fluttering, and the empty square was filled by soldiers with awe-inspiring killing intent. The cavalry at the forefront was only a few dozen steps away from the main gate of the imperial city.

Two thousand soldiers of the Xuanwu Camp were in front, and banners were fluttering. Some had the word “Xuanwu” in red letters on a black background, and some were basalt beasts embroidered with their teeth and claws.

Right behind the Xuanwu Camp, there are also neatly lined armored warriors, but they are holding a “tiger” flag. The fangs are ferocious and the tiger claws are sharp, as if to rip apart everything in front of it.

“Xuanwu Camp, Tiger God Camp, really is majestic.” Standing on the top of the city, Qi Ning looked at the flag fluttering in the wind and smiled lightly.

Although he smiled, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous and his scalp was a little numb.

The Xuanwu Battalion and the Tiger God Battalion on the square had a combined force of no less than 4,000 people. The Tiger God Battalion seemed to have concentrated all of its main force in the direction of the main entrance of the imperial city. Looking around, the armor was bright, the swords and spears were cold, and the local soldiers and horses were ten times stronger than the guards. There are more than one army. Although the Yulin Camp is defending the city, they are all elites with one to ten, but the force is too small. Once the enemy attacks the city, Qi Ning really does not know how long it will be able to support.

“They want to suppress people with their aura.” Yu Biegu sneered: “It’s just that Yu Linwei are all brave and unparalleled warriors, how could they be afraid of them?”

At this moment, he saw three cavalry galloping out of the army formation. The first one held a big flag and rushed towards the city gate. Yu Biegu’s face sank, and he raised his hand. The arrows are aimed at Laiqi, as long as Yu Biegu’s arm is under his command, the arrows are fired in unison, and the three horses can be shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

Knowing the danger, the three cavalry still rushed out. Qi Ning knew that they were not here to die, so he calmly said, “Don’t act rashly.”

The three horses were still some distance away from the city gate, and stopped, the warhorse snorted, and the man in front looked up at the city head, and said loudly: “Killing the king, rebellious Qi Ning, listen, and immediately tie yourself out of the city, otherwise the imperial city will be attacked. , kill the whole family of Jinyi and Qi!”

Qi Ning frowned, and the man continued to speak loudly: “Brothers in Yulin Camp, listen carefully, Qi Ning colluded with the enemy, betrayed the country, and assassinated the emperor. You should immediately take down this treasonous traitor and tie him out of the city, or else Even conspiring with rebels, they are all rebels.”

This person’s voice was extremely high-pitched, and there was a dead silence inside and outside the imperial city. This person’s voice spread far away.

Yu Linwei didn’t move, the man was still shouting loudly from below, Qi Ning sighed and said to Yu Bie Gu: “Xiaowei Yu, do you know why he has the courage to come forward and shout?”

“Maybe it’s because of the large number of people.” Yu Biegu sneered: “Or maybe he thinks we won’t kill him.”

“Courage is commendable.” Qi Ning smiled lightly: “But under the imperial city, being so arrogant is always uncomfortable.” He suddenly took the longbow from Yu Linwei’s hand and said solemnly: ” Arrows come!”

Yu Linwei immediately handed a long arrow, Qi Ning bent the bow and took the arrow, without any hesitation, the sharp arrow burst out, with a stern force, easily tore the air, and screamed at it. The knight shot at him, and when the knight found the arrow shot, before he had time to react, the sharp arrow had already plunged into his chest. What was terrifying was that the force of the arrow was so overbearing that it pushed his man directly from the horse. The shot fell from the back, and the remaining momentum did not disappear. When the knight landed, the sharp arrow slammed into the bluestone slab, nailing the knight’s body to the slab.

“Arrow!”

“Arrow!”

Qi Ning screamed three times in a row, and three arrows were fired in a row. Before the other two cavalrymen could pay their respects to the remains of their companions, they were also shot down from the horses one after another, and their bodies were nailed to the stone slab!

“Mighty, mighty, mighty!”

The sound of calling sounded from the top of the city. Although there were only a few hundred people, the momentum was amazing. The momentum that was once suppressed by the thousands of soldiers from the Xuanwu Camp and the Tiger God Camp burst out in an instant. Instead, they saw three knights in front of them. The soldiers on the ground were all horrified.

Can accurately shoot three people,

It will not shock the soldiers. Among the ranks, there are many archers who can bow and shoot well. It is not uncommon to shoot people from horseback, but the arrows nailed people to the bluestone slab. , that is appalling, looking at the three armies, there is almost nothing that can be done.

Countless people stared blankly at the three corpses nailed to the slate, watching the blood flow down and flowing on the slate, their hearts trembling.

There was a dead silence, and many people even had a cold fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The three war horses also seemed to be stunned, but they quickly raised their hooves and neighed in unison. They were frightened and ran about in an unknown direction in the square.

The big flag fell to the ground at this time, as if the flag had died down.

Many people looked at the big flag next to the corpse. The “Xuanwu Flag” represented the dignity of the Xuanwu camp. The big flag that should have been raised high and fluttered in the wind was now lying on the ground like a rag. , that is, the face of the Xuanwu camp was trampled severely, and many soldiers showed anger in the eyes, and the cheers of Yu Linwei on the city head, like a leather whip, severely beat the soldiers in the Xuanwu camp. face.

Qi Ning took the lead, but he knew very well in his heart that a flag was only about face and dignity, and it didn’t have much impact on the strength of this army under the imperial city.

Xuanwu Camp did not act rashly.

In all honesty, Yulin Camp shoots soldiers and horses that enter the square. That is the rule. Everyone knows that, without the permission of the emperor, riding a knife to the imperial city is a treason. Yulin guards have enough. The power shot him to death. Although there was already an edict telling that the traitorous thief Qi Ning was within the imperial city, the purpose of besieging the imperial city this time was to quell the traitors, but the soldiers of Chu State had a natural feeling for this imperial city in their hearts. The awe of the man was because no one dared to shoot an arrow at the imperial city without receiving a direct order.

“I can’t hold it!” Chi Danmei, who was standing beside Qi Ning, got close to Qi Ning and whispered, “There are too many of them, and they won’t last long.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “I know.”

“Even if you can defend it, there will be no good results.” Chi Danmei sighed softly: “Xiao Shaozong will not let you go, as long as you don’t die, he will definitely not withdraw his troops. In the imperial city, in addition to Yu Linwei, there are other There are thousands of palace maids and eunuchs in total, and the food cannot be sustained at all, and they will not be short of food outside, as long as they surround the imperial city, they will win without a fight.” Looking left and right, Yu Linwei’s eyes They were all in the square, she leaned close to Qi Ning’s ear and whispered, “Yu Linwei will not be trapped in the battle of beasts. When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, they are likely to betray you.”

Chi Danmei has been in the world for many years, and she has been through the wind and frost for a long time. She has seen many times in the world. In her opinion, although Yu Linwei is still obeying Qi Ning’s orders, she has really reached the point where the mountains and rivers have no food to eat. These people are absolutely impossible. Continue to be buried with Qi Ning.

A smile appeared on Qi Ning’s lips and said, “I won’t wait until that time, I just don’t want to let blood flow into the river here.”

Chi Danmei was stunned, she didn’t understand what Qi Ning meant, and was about to ask, when she heard the sound of a horn from under the city, a road suddenly opened up among the dark cloud-like soldiers and horses, and then slowly appeared from the army formation. The people are all riding high-headed horses. The first person is quite inconspicuous on the back of the horse, as if curled up on it. Riding here are heavy generals in armor. When they see the general on the left, they wave their hands and immediately rush from the team. More than a dozen people came out, and these people were holding huge shields in their hands. In the blink of an eye, they used the shields to build a protective shield like a copper wall and an iron wall. Move, always guard those few riders.

When Qi Ning saw it, a sneer appeared in his eyes.

Previously, he had taken the lead and shot three cavalry soldiers, which obviously made the opponent feel fearful, and dared not swagger close to the city wall again.

Qi Ning’s eyes were very good, but he didn’t need to take a closer look. As long as he saw the outline of the first rider, he could guess that it was Xiao Shaozong.

Xiao Shaozong finally appeared.

Qi Ning remembered that the last time he saw Xiao Shaozong, Xiao Shaozong was like a leaf on an autumn tree that would fall at any time, but Qi Ning never imagined that this person would command the army today and march under the imperial city.

Even Qi Ning couldn’t help but admire that dwarf who looked like a cripple.

The desolation of the day and the prestige of the present are completely different, but Xiao Shaozong’s most powerful thing is that no one will ever be able to see what he is thinking from his face, no matter when and where he is Able to maintain the calmness of the clouds and the wind, when the sunset is like this, so is the majesty today.

The horse stopped, Xiao Shaozong looked up at the head of the city, it was not difficult to find Qi Ning among the brightly armored Yulin guards, when Xiao Shaozong’s eyes fell on Qi Ning, a slight smile finally appeared on the corner of his lips. The city head said loudly: “Qining, the glory and future of the Jinyi Qi family have been destroyed in your hands. Do you regret it now?”

Xiao Shaozong opened his mouth for a moment, Qi Ning’s heart froze and his brows furrowed.

Many people know that Xiao Shaozong suffered from a terminal illness when he was a child. For this reason, King Huainan spent countless manpower and material resources to seek medical treatment for Xiao Shaozong, but after all, it was determined by destiny, Xiao Shaozong was about to die, so even Longtai would die soon. The Prince of Huainan also neglected to take precautions.

Of course, Qi Ning now knew that Xiao Shaozong’s previous terminal illness was probably a posturing. If he pretended to be terminally ill when he was young, it would be too much. The purpose of concealing it from the outside world was to let the emperor relax a little bit towards the king of Huainan. After all, the king of Huainan had no other heirs besides Xiao Shaozong. The only son was terminally ill, and the possibility of the king of Huainan usurping the throne was greatly reduced.

Regardless of whether the terminal illness was true or not, it was an indisputable fact that Xiao Shaozong was weak.

But at this moment Xiao Shaozong’s voice was loud and full of energy. Although he only said a few words calmly, it was far more clearly audible than the cavalry’s loud shouting before.

“What a deep inner strength!” Chi Danmei said softly.
