The first five cavalry arrived at the entrance of the villa first. As they got closer, the four foot-operated repeating crossbows, which were simple in shape but had an attack power that was completely comparable to that of the military, had no place to use. There were more than 20 people in the villa who had already unsheathed their swords and were eager to fight. , after stepping back step by step to the general in the courtyard, he began to press on.
In the hall, Ningzhiyu, who knew the identity of the visitor because of Ye Haoyue's simple judgment, even if he didn't believe it, saw a vague group of well-equipped armored sergeants holding long knives and hand shields under the light of torches. Eight points.
Because he used to live in Yejia all the year round, it was the palace of the prince that played an important role in this dynasty. Because the old man started his career in the military, he naturally saw many kinds of generals, ministers, princes and princes visiting him on the mountain. Those were among the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The characters are scattered in strategic military locations in the east, west, south, and north, and their followers include all kinds of military services in the Zhou Dynasty.
For example, the old general Wu Diwu of the Zhendong Governor's Mansion, his personal guards are all heavy armored cavalry, and the horses are the heavy horses of the Dawan Kingdom. Just standing there gives people a sense of oppression.
The armored soldiers are all wearing what is known as the heaviest infantry armor in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Generally, third-rate warriors, or those armored soldiers in the army, whose cultivation level is like that of outside warriors, such as body training or tendon-changing realm, can only be cut with one sword. It leaves a scratch on the armor, making it difficult to damage the inside.
This heavy cavalry has always maintained an index of 1,000 people, not only because there are very few battles in Liaodong, but most of the conflicts are small wars with less than 1,000 people. Wang Wang cannot use infantry siege or light cavalry to raid. It is just this Thousand Cavalry Heavy Armor can be solved with a single charge.
Moreover, this unit is extremely difficult to train. Not only is it difficult to build the armor it is equipped with, but it is also difficult to choose a group of soldiers who still have to move around and cope with the war with a weight of nearly 80 kilograms. It is a bit exaggerated to pick one out of ten thousand. Just imagine carrying this weight. It is also very possible for people to wait for armor.
The so-called "it takes ten years to raise trees and a hundred years to raise an army" is nothing more than that. In the Pingxi Governor's Mansion that guards the Western Region, the taciturn young general Wei Wuji and his entourage are all light cavalry. After all, the Gobi Desert is long and the desert is uninhabited for hundreds of miles. The heavy armored cavalry will be gone, and I am afraid it will be uncomfortable to run for a while. .
Lightly equipped light cavalry ride large Mongolian horses that are suitable for long-distance travel. They are equipped with leather armor that weighs only more than 20 kilograms with its saddle, and is inlaid with iron plates like fish scales. They are row upon row, which is very impressive.
Talking about the group of soldiers in front of us who are still dressed in thick jade, even if they have poor eyesight, it is difficult to distinguish the origins of these five people in the dark night, but the long knife that is different from other foreign garrison troops is similar to the one in Liaodong. Heavy cavalry or light cavalry in the Western Regions is a distinctive feature.
This is a Miao Dao that only palace guards can equip. Ningzhiyu didn't believe that the Zhou army, which was known for its strict laws since its establishment, would allow other local garrison troops or border guards to be equipped with this kind of Miao sword that only belonged to the imperial army.
"Why are the Forbidden Army here?" Ningzhiyu's question again verified Ye Xieyou's guess. This woman who guessed the opponent's origin just from a round of fighting also made Ningzhiyu feel a little unspeakable. Fear.
She had known since she was a child that her erudite cousin was very smart and had high hopes from the old man who was worth more than ten thousand people in the dynasty. However, she really couldn't figure out how she could think so long-term in a short period of time. It's so shocking.
Ye Xiayou had some time to rest, so he put his gun and stick in his hand and said, "Could it be that Sister Yu and brother-in-law did something that even alarmed the imperial court?" Naturally, Ningzhiyu was furious.
This beautiful woman stared angrily with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, her eyes were about to burst, she pointed at Ye Hao's atmosphere and spoke without hesitation. She was so unable to control the emotions in her heart that Bilan Po beside her frowned slightly, and she felt more and more like this. Working with others, especially the woman in front of me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the results you want.
The angry Ningzhiyu could not guess what Bilanpo was thinking, who had already retreated. Naturally, Bilanpo could not guess why Ningzhiyu had such a big reaction at this time.
Of course, it was not because of Ye Xiayou's words that he would be so angry. Ningzhiyu, who had her own concerns in her heart, was definitely more afraid than angry.
She was really afraid that as her cousin said, if the Zhou imperial court knew about her and General Ling's plans here, and followed the clues to find out about her master, she was afraid that even her ten lives would not be enough to survive.
A woman like Ningzhiyu who does things without thinking at all can't hear the sarcasm in Ye Xiayou's words. After all, just from the gap between the crossbows, she can figure out the other party's identity, which has already caused a lot of damage to Ningzhiyu. After a huge shock, this beautiful woman who was more preoccupied than capable had begun to believe every word Ye Xie said without thinking.
Naturally, she didn't know what the two women in front of her were thinking now. Ye Xiayou smiled and said: "Sister Yu, if you are scared, just listen to my advice. Let's stop here. You and your brother-in-law should go back to Fuying." Ying, I assume nothing happened. After all, alerting the Forbidden Army is not that easy to deal with, isn't it? Can you help me find out which of the Forbidden Army is coming? You knew each other more or less back then. It's not a bad idea to ask San Geng to come forward and make peace with someone you know well. It's not like you don't know San Geng. You are familiar with San Geng in both the capital and the capital, so your personal connections are still somewhat useful." Already his heart was gone. The emboldened Ningzhiyu was completely confused by her random thoughts, and looked at the battle situation not far away with some confusion.
Just a few more breaths later, five more Black Hammer warriors were added to the entrance of the villa. The situation that was supposed to be a victory with more people obviously did not develop in the direction it should have. As ten Black Hammer warriors gathered together. , the combat power is not only doubled, but abandoning the horse and not fighting on foot greatly increases the attack power of this group of people.
Coupled with the tacit cooperation between each other, the long knife in the hand is stabbing, cutting, thrusting or blocking, lifting up and down, swiping left and right, and adding another knife on the free side of the robe while moving around.
The kite-shaped hand shield on the forearm is also for attack and defense. There are few people who don't have any blood on the shield. The situation can already be judged to be one-sided, it is just a matter of time.
Ningzhiyu naturally judged the opponent's identity from the long knife. She was already in a state of confusion and said softly: "Thousand Niu Guards." In the garrison behind the mountain, she obeyed the general's order and insisted on joining forces with them. The cowardly look of Ningzhiyu now made her really disgusted.
At that moment, Bilanpo said angrily: "Madam General, now that the incident has alerted the imperial guards, do you think you can let us go with just a few words at night? If he has such ability, why would he use The Luminous Monument, which has not appeared in several years, is here to arrest him? I'm afraid that either these forbidden soldiers are here to arrest the two siblings under orders from above. It's just a coincidence. You have to be careful and don't let this sharp-tongued person fall in love with you. A few words from this woman have caused her to become confused!" Ningzhiyu was stunned, and it was obvious that Li Dong's words made her feel confused and in a trance.
However, Ye Xiayou didn't take it seriously and said: "How will you know if my brother has this ability without trying it? Besides, Sister Yu, do you think I have this ability? If you do this, let my brother-in-law stop now, and then Put all the responsibilities on this Bilan Po, and say that you were instigated by her. I will find a way then..."
"Stop sowing discord here!" Bilanpo, who had already heard Ye Xia's inner calculations, interrupted with an angry shout. She stepped forward and grabbed Ye Xia's collar. She opened her eyes angrily and said angrily: "If you continue to talk nonsense, believe it or not, I am now I'll tear your mouth apart!" At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded through the night sky, and more than a dozen knife-wielding men who had been hiding in the backyard poured out one after another to join the battle ahead.
Bilanpo, who had been arranged by General Ling to be a helper, had no choice but to let go. Before leaving, she said fiercely again: "The General's wife is also a smart person, so don't be fooled by her." At this time, General Ling Li also came in from the yard, and the two of them As they passed by, Bilanpo said again: "Look at that woman, she has such a powerful mouth, your wife was almost fooled by her!" Ye Xiayou, who was returning from the general's order, didn't know whether he should be happy or not. It's still sad to see that a few words can successfully instigate Ningzhiyu's heart, but when the general's order is returned, the success obviously falls short.
Even though the defeat was now determined, Ye Xie'er's ears were still following the steps of the general's order with an abnormally steady pace. Naturally, he didn't know what the battle situation was like outside, so Ye Xie said, "What's wrong, brother-in-law? I'm afraid I can't beat you?" For Ye Xie, Naturally, Xia You's sarcasm didn't take it to heart. General Ling looked at Ningzhiyu, thinking about Bilanpo's words just now, and asked doubtfully: "What did he tell you?" Ningzhiyu, whose heart was already in chaos, looked bitter. , the answer was not what the question was asked, and he was obviously really scared and said: "How about we retreat first? With this group of cannon fodder supporting that group of people, let's leave here first and then make plans. That is the Qianniu Guard of the Forbidden Army. If this is really going to happen, How can we survive if the court finds out? Don’t you know a secret backdoor..."
"Shut up!" I have already guessed that these ten black hammer warriors will not be local guards. The general's order, which did not take action just now, can also tell that this group of people is extraordinary, but I never expected that they would be the imperial guards in the palace. , which is indeed unexpected.
It's just that Ningzhiyu's words of inflating other people's ambitions and destroying her own prestige are really uncomfortable to hear, especially with Ye Xieyou present, which makes General Ling even more angry.
General Ling said bitterly: "I tell you Ningzhiyu, if you hold me back, see how I deal with you!" This threat made Ningzhiyu shiver involuntarily.
General Ling looked at Ye Haoyou, who still seemed to have no fear at all, and then looked at his wife who had gone to Fuying after being used by him, and said: "The plan here involves so much, how can I let it go so easily? I You have your own plan in mind, you..." Before he could finish his words, the backyard of the villa became noisy.
General Ling, who didn't know why, quickly walked around the partition wall of the hall and looked back. He was suddenly shocked. A group of soldiers with the same uniforms as the ones at the door came in from the backyard. The few remaining people were not superior in numbers. They just blinked. In the short time, he was chopping melons like vegetables and took his life.
General Ling cursed secretly, as expected, everything happened in a hurry, and when the enemy and we are not clear, we are no match at all. The general who had already made plans in his mind turned back and ordered: "Ningzhiyu, this is a good thing you have done! We had to choose to do it in Phoenix City, but now, if the matter is exposed, what do you think we will do?" The general ordered him to return to the hall. At this time, Ningzhiyu was in a panic, unable to speak, and she was so helpless that she looked frightened and uneasy.
The general ordered Ye Xieyou to be dragged away, and now he could only use her as a shield to find another way to survive. However, the strange changes occurred again, and there was a strong chill behind him. Before he could reflect on the general's order and pull Ye Xieyou's body back quickly, he saw the cold light in front of him, striking directly at his empty door.
Without any hesitation at his feet, and without waiting to see clearly who was coming, the general ordered Ye Xiayou to retreat again and again.
There is only one life-saving charm left in his hand, and the general dare not let go. The person who came was none other than Jiang Yi from the burial mound.
The task Wang Jiang assigned to Jiang Yi was to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the village and look for opportunities to save people. It's just that Jiang Yi wandered outside the villa for a while and couldn't find an opening. This group of thieves with unknown origins were also more vigilant. There was already a mess at the front door, and the group responsible for guarding the side and back door of the villa did not move.
Until a sharp whistle sounded, and watching the people scattered in the backyard or on the wall evacuate, Jiang Yi turned over and entered the villa.
Although Qi Moyan has already told the layout of the villa, no matter how detailed it is, it is better to be there in person. Jiang Yi looked at the rows of houses and could only secretly sigh at the handiwork of the city lord.
From a high position, you can see that the ten black hammer warriors in the backyard also cooperated with each other to climb over the courtyard wall, and fought with the few remaining thieves, showing a one-sided situation without any suspense.
Taking advantage of this panic, Jiang Yi jumped directly from the log courtyard wall to the side room that was less than a foot away. Compared with searching from room to room, it is better to search like this. In such a dark night, as long as you look at where people are gathering or where there are bright lights, you will naturally have an explanation.
At this time, only the hall in the villa was still lit, so naturally that was where Jiang Yixian wanted to go. Fortunately, Jiang Yi's judgment was accurate and he saw Ye Xiayou and the general's order who was about to take action against him.
