A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1408

[Chapter 1397]

As soon as Yin Shi arrived, the square was already full of murderous energy. Qin Zhong passed the military order, and the three thousand Xuanwu battalion soldiers were all ready.

The cloud ladder transferred from the arsenal has been sent to the front, and the shield soldiers in heavy armor take the lead. The task is to push the ladder to the bottom of the city, and the archers are behind the shield soldiers. Once an attack is launched, the archers will act as Cover and suppress the archers at the head of the city, so that the soldiers and horses can advance under the city wall.

As for the few cavalrymen, they would line up at the rear. This was a siege battle. The cavalry could not charge the city wall. Only after the city gate was breached, the cavalry rushed into the city to clean up the enemy.

In fact, the soldiers and horses under the city also understood in their hearts that the strength of the Yulin battalion defending the city was too weak. It is impossible to withstand ten times the opponent’s offensive and capture the imperial city, but it is only a matter of time.

The Xuanwu Battalion is stationed near the capital all the year round, and there are few opportunities for meritorious deeds, and the soldiers place great importance on meritorious deeds. There are not many opportunities for the nearby troops to be promoted.

This time Qi Ning rebelled and led the Yulin Battalion to rebel. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Xuanwu Battalion. The Xuanwu Battalion knew from top to bottom that after breaking the imperial city and exterminating Qi Ning, it would definitely usher in a new era. If you can make achievements in this battle, it will be of great benefit to the future.

Although they waited in the city for a day, the morale of the soldiers was still very strong. After Qin Zhong gave the order, thousands of soldiers were like wolves and tigers.

The war is imminent, and those officials from the DPRK and China have been blocked at the rear, unable to go forward.

Although Lu Xiaochao’s Tiger God Battalion was unable to act as the vanguard, it was still on guard, waiting only for the Xuanwu Battalion to come forward to help when the siege of the city was frustrated.

When Qi Ning climbed to the top of the city, it was only one stick of incense away from Mao Shi. The soldiers of the Yulin camp on the top of the city saw that the troops and horses under the city were ready to attack the city, and they were all ready to fight.

“Guo Gong, I don’t know…?” Yu Biegu saw Qi Ning coming to the top of the city and asked quickly, but before he could say it, Qi Ning smiled faintly: “Xiaowei Yu, follow me. As I said earlier, when the time comes, I will go out of the city, no matter what happens, I will take care of it alone, and I will not implicate the soldiers.” He took out the sword of execution and handed it to Yu Biegu, who was startled. , I don’t know what Qi Ning means, Qi Ning smiled and said: “This is the sword execution order left by the previous emperor, and you also have the edict left by the previous emperor. After they enter the city, you can rely on these two things. It can be said that it is because These two things are in my hands, you have to obey my orders according to the last order of the late emperor, Xiao Shaozong will not dare to kill Yulin Camp at that time.”

Yu Biegu said in horror: “Guo Gong, you…… What are you doing? Since the late emperor has a decree, even if thousands of troops attack, Yulin Camp is bound to live and die together with the Duke.”

“There are too many enemies, and in the end, Yulin Camp can’t resist it, and it will be hard to resist. To implicate so many loyal and brave people.” Qi Ning shook his head, looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and then said, “This time you and He Qing will be involved, if Xiao Shaozong does not convict you, you will resign from your positions. , stay away from the capital.”

Yu Biegu said solemnly: “Guo Gong, forgive me for being brave, dare to ask, is Xiao Shaozong rebellious?”

Qi Ning was stunned,

Yu Bie Gu said: “If Xiao Shaozong is not rebellious, then Guo Gong will If there is suspicion of chaos in the country, the first person Yulin Camp will kill is the Duke. If the Duke is innocent, then Xiao Shaozong is a rebellious, knowing that Xiao Shaozong is rebellious, even if the Yulin Camp is weak, it must fight to the end.” He said. Looking down from the city, the black soldiers and horses were like ants. Yu Biegu sneered: “Perhaps they can finally break through the imperial city, but if they follow the rebellion and attack the city, even if the city is broken, Yulin Camp will make them pay a heavy price.”

Qi Ning frowned and said, “Why is this necessary?”

“The duty of Yulin Camp is to guard the imperial city.” Yu Biegu said solemnly, “Any rebel army who wants to step into the imperial city must step on Yulin. The bones of the soldiers, otherwise…it’s impossible!”

With a “choked” sound, he drew his saber, raised his sword, and said sharply, “Whoever gets closer to the imperial city will be killed without mercy!”

All the Yulin soldiers had already drawn their swords, raised their swords one after another, and shouted in unison: “Those who are close to the imperial city, kill without mercy!” The noise spread for a while, and although the number was only a few hundred, it was as loud as thunder.

The soldiers under the city were a little surprised when they heard the sudden thunderous noise from the city head. Qin Zhong rode in front and saw the strong head of the city. Invincible!”

Xuanwu camp soldiers raised their spears high, and said in unison: “Xuanwu camp is invincible, Xuanwu camp is invincible!” Pressing it down, the imperial city went up and down, and a terrifying murderous aura immediately pervaded.

The ministers who were far behind the Tiger God Camp saw this and knew that the war was imminent. Many people couldn’t help but back away, but Yuan Lao Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites went forward instead and said loudly: “I want to talk to Qi Ning and make way for it. !” But the road to the front had already been blocked by the Tiger God Camp, and the sound was like a tidal wave, and few people heard the old Shangshu’s voice. The shield blocked into a wall, which could not penetrate at all. Yuan Moxian said urgently: “Father, the front is dangerous, and we can’t go any further.”

As the sound of the Xuanwu Camp subsided, the drums suddenly sounded, and the sound of “dong dong dong” war drums was heard in the team. The front sounded very rhythmically, and with the drums of war, the morale of the Xuanwu battalion generals was boosted again.

Xiao Shaozong was standing in the army formation on horseback, just looking at Qi Ning at the head of the city, but he didn’t want to go to Qi Ning to ask for evidence, he suddenly pulled out a saber from his waist, raised the sword high and shouted: “The first one The warriors who have invaded the imperial city will receive a bounty of 1,000 taels, and they

will be promoted to three levels in a row!” Xiao Shaozong’s words immediately made the atmosphere even more extreme, thunderous shouts rang out in the square, and Qin Zhong in front finally put the sword in his hands. Pointing forward, he said solemnly: “Siege the city!” In the

rumbling sound of the battle drums, the shield soldiers who had been prepared to cover the ladder began to approach the imperial city, and the archers behind kept a neat formation, and also followed the shield soldiers to slow down. Move forward slowly.

Qi Ning looked at the army formation that had begun to slowly press towards the imperial city, clenched his fists with both hands, glanced at Yu Biegu, and said solemnly: “Okay, I will fight with you to the end.” He said loudly: “The archers prepare !”

The Yulin Battalion on the top of the city is all good shooters. They have already bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows are aimed at the advancing army formation.

The drums rumbled, the horns sounded, and the drums were faintly heard from the other gates of the imperial city. Obviously, they already knew the time of the siege. When the drums were heard here, the four gates had already begun. Attack the Imperial City.

The entire Yulin Battalion marched forward, but the Tiger God Battalion at the rear was waiting in full force. Lu Xiaochao rode in front of the formation, holding a large sword, his eyes staring coldly ahead, and Xiao Shaozong was just a short distance in front of him.

Qi Ning also had a pair of bows and arrows in hand. Seeing the enemy approaching step by step, a sneer appeared on the corner of Qi Ning’s lips. He bent the bow and took the arrow without hesitation. A shield soldier, the shield soldier fell to the ground, and the shield soldiers next to him were all shocked.

The shield soldier used a shield to cover his body, which is to guard against the arrows at the head of the city. Even if a part of the body occasionally leaked, it was fleeting. Qi Ning’s arrow was just right to shoot at that moment. , that eyesight is really appalling.

While the shield soldier on the side was surprised, he even protected his body. Qi Ning shot the first arrow, and the archer at the head of the city no longer hesitated, and the arrows fell like raindrops.

The archers behind the shield soldiers immediately released arrows, and a round of arrows flew towards the city head like locusts. That was to suppress the archers at the city head. For a while, the arrows on both sides came and went, and the air was densely packed with arrows. , criss-crossed, and from time to time someone was shot by arrows, screaming again and again.

The siege battle has finally begun.

Yuan Lao Shangshu in the rear saw that the two sides had already fought, and he was heartbroken and shouted: “Don’t fight, don’t fight!” But at this moment, no one would care.

Although the arrows at the head of the city could not reach the rear, many ministers retreated for fear of harming Chi Yu. Yuan Moxian and another official forced Yuan Lao Shangshu to retreat.

The shield soldiers in front continued to advance under the cover of the archers, and the distance to the city wall was getting closer and closer.

Qi Ning shot several arrows in a row, arrows took his life, turned his head and saw that the dawn had appeared in the east, and the twelve hours agreed with Xiao Shaozong had indeed arrived.

Dozens of ministers in the rear were in a mess and retreated one after another. At this moment, they saw a group of cavalry on the street. The number was not large, and they were not in armor. Thinking about where the soldiers and horses came from, I suddenly heard someone say: “Yes… they are from Kyoto Prefecture…!

” The cavalry was aggressive, but behind the cavalry, was followed by a large group of officers from the Kyoto prefecture armed with sharp knives.

The Kyoto prefecture is in charge of the security of the capital, and the capital of the capital needs the capital to maintain order. Therefore, there are hundreds of guards in the Kyoto prefecture. When the guards from the Kyoto prefecture rushed over like a wolf or a tiger, there were also hundreds of them. All the people were called over.

When Dou Kui saw it from a distance, his color changed slightly, and he said in surprise, “What is Tie Zheng doing?”

The officials of the Kyoto Prefecture rushed to the vicinity, and all the officials stepped aside, lest they be affected, but at this moment, someone exclaimed. Said: “Shenhoufu…that’s the people of Shenhoufu!”

Hundreds of officials of Shenhoufu, wearing bamboo hats and holding large swords, were rushing over behind the officers of the Kyoto government. The people in the government are well-trained, and they are more orderly than the people in the capital. The ministers were stunned when they saw this situation. They never imagined that at this time, the Shenhoufu and the capital would come hand in hand.
