Both sides were furious, and Zhao Cheng hugged Zeng Xiangfei tightly.
He was covered in iron armor, but his two exposed hands became his absolute weakness, in order to prevent this damn guy from breaking free.
Zhao Cheng could only try his best to turn his body and face the assassins with his back. He knew very well that the real danger did not come from those assassins.
He has strong confidence in the armor he wears. In a short period of time, those assassins will not be able to hurt him at all.
They did not hold any heavy weapons such as flails. The swords in their hands could not destroy the plate armor at all. Instead, the heavy crossbows in their own hands were the fatal danger.
At such a close distance, the big yellow crossbow in their hands can easily tear apart everything in front of them. Even plate armor cannot withstand the damage of the big yellow crossbow at such a close distance.
But at this moment, they really couldn't care about anything else. If this guy didn't die, they wouldn't be able to hold on to the stairs. They saw the reinforcements arriving outside the door, but there was nothing they could do.
If they really attack upstairs, the consequences will be really disastrous.
Daiguo can live without itself, but it cannot live without its king.
He was also a native of Dai. Although the food of a soldier was much better than that of ordinary people, even so, when the old prince was in power, the family could only make ends meet.
If anything happens to them, it will be a disaster for them. Without overnight wealth and without half a month's worth of food at home, this is the current situation of the vast majority of Dai people.
But since the king came to power, especially in the past six months or so.
Not only his own life, but also the lives of everyone he knew, had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Needless to say, those who followed the king usually received a lot of rewards. In this battle, the army won a complete victory, and almost everyone received rewards beyond their imagination.
After a great war, not only the families of those sergeants were exempted from taxes, but almost all the soldiers who had performed meritorious service received rewards ranging from dozens to hundreds of guan.
In addition to the rewards they should receive, the soldiers who died in battle each received an additional 100 guan death pension.
Although it doesn't sound like much, for these big-headed soldiers, one hundred guan is enough to make them fight for it!
You know, over the years, the imperial court’s compensation for death in battle has always been 20 coins...
If you do all the math, it's probably the price of a donkey...
Those of them who were following the king heard with their own ears how the king lost his temper with the lieutenant!
The guards who followed the king each received a reward of 200 guan this time. The wife of the family took the money and opened a small shop in the market of Jinyang.
Following the sisters-in-law at home, I sold some local products from Jinyang. Although I couldn't make much money, at least I no longer had to worry about food and clothing.
Everything was given by the king. Now the king is in trouble. Even if he risks his own life, he can't let the king get hurt at all!
So he rushed forward without hesitation, hugged Zeng Xiangfei tightly, pushed him to the ground, making him unable to move, and screamed, asking his companions to shoot the bastard to death with arrows.
Du Ziteng gave the order, and the guards didn't care about anything else. They picked up the heavy crossbows on the ground and fired at Zeng Xiangfei and Zhao Cheng.
"puff--"
"puff--"
Their two bodies were pressed tightly together, and the powerful crossbow arrows penetrated the two layers of plate armor, and then completely nailed Zeng Xiangfei to the stairs again.
The guards around Liu Deng ignored their sorrow, picked up their swords and roared, and drove away the assassins in front of them again.
"Damn it, hold on!"
It seemed that they were almost able to break through, but suddenly they were driven back down again.
Chen Yu's heart was filled with anger. The shouts of killing outside the door were getting closer and closer. With Zeng Xiangfei's death, the knights around him began to run away freely.
Although the dead soldiers around Chen Yu were loyal, the guards around Liu Deng were all wearing iron armor and were not afraid of death.
Compared with them, it was even worse, and the battle situation returned to a stalemate again.
"boom--"
With a loud sound, the tables, chairs and benches placed at the door were knocked away, and the main entrance of the inn was finally breached.
Outside the door, hundreds of archers lined up their bows and arrows in a neat formation, aiming at everything inside the door.
Chen Yu understood that he was completely defeated today...
The garrison arrived and it was all over.
This damn Tang Lingfeng, a dignified prefect, couldn't even control his officers and soldiers.
What a fucking waste!
"Take them all down to me. If they resist, shoot them to death!"
Looking at this tragic scene, Su Jian frowned secretly, but at the same time he also secretly sighed in his heart. This was really his luck, and he couldn't stop it. It seemed that he had come just right.
"Hahahaha, God is trying to kill me! God, you are blind!"
Chen Yu laughed hysterically, smiling and laughing. He finally dropped the weapon in his hand and began to cry bitterly.
Everything was over. In front of the garrison, all resistance was meaningless.
Except for a few surrenders, all the remaining people were shot on the spot. Those knights who escaped were naturally chased by soldiers on horseback. They were defeated like a mountain and they were completely finished...
In a small inn, nearly a hundred assassins died here today. I am afraid that from now on, the business of this inn will no longer be possible.
"Where is His Highness the King?"
Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Su Jian is finally relieved. After tonight, the two of them will be prosperous.
"You two led the troops to rescue me? I wonder what your responsibilities are?"
After everything calmed down downstairs, the remaining guards inspected all the dead bodies on the ground before inviting Liu Deng downstairs.
Looking at the two heroic young officers in front of him, Liu Deng asked calmly.
"Back to your Majesty, the two of us went out of the camp privately this time. These brothers under our command, just like us, heard that His Highness the King was in trouble and ignored military orders and came out to rescue him!"
Before Su Jian could speak, Zou Yang couldn't help but tell the truth.
"It's interesting. My king's flag has already been raised. Such a big thing happened in the city. I don't know who issued the military order not to allow the garrison to come to rescue?"
When Liu Deng went downstairs, the guards around him had moved Paoze's body to the other side. Looking at the tragic scene, Liu Deng felt his heart bleeding.
