The sunlight that poured into the house through the doors and windows disappeared at some point. The originally bright sky was now shrouded in thick clouds, just like the mood of everyone in the main hall at this moment.
Raise troops to serve the king!
Qingjun side!
Bring order to the chaos!
No matter which one it is, it is a beheading transaction.
Gu Er looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Gu knows that it is difficult to convince everyone with Gu's words alone, so before you make a decision, Gu takes the liberty of asking you to meet someone first!"
Everyone looked at Gu Er in confusion. As Gu Er finished speaking, there was a sudden sound in the passage leading to the inner room.
That was the sound of wheels grinding against the ground.
"Uncle Shen Guo?"
"Marquis Weibei?"
Everyone looked at the person being pushed out in a wheelchair from the back hall, with shock on their faces.
At this time, Shen Congxing was pale, with chapped lips. His right hand was hung around his neck with gauze. He was wearing a thick brown cloak and coughed from time to time.
"Cough cough cough!"
"Shen has met you all!" Shen Congxing bowed his hands to everyone.
"Didn't you say that General Shen was missing?" Seeing Shen Congxing standing in front of them alive, everyone came together and asked about the situation that night.
"What happened all of a sudden?"
Shen Congxing smiled bitterly and said: "Shen is destined to be lucky enough to escape with his life, how dare he show up!"
"Brother Shen, what happened that night?"
Shen Congxing said: "That night, my family and I were having dinner at home. Suddenly, someone came from the palace. They said that they had brought the concubine into the palace on the order of the Queen Mother. I didn't expect that as soon as the concubine left, there were a large number of soldiers behind her. Horses surrounded my house.
Those soldiers and horses were not anti-thief assassins at all, but soldiers and horses in front of the palace. The leader was none other than Cao Wenxuan!
Shen was lucky enough to escape from the siege, but he was seriously injured and could only hide in the cellar of a commoner's house. It was not until the day before yesterday that he sent his cronies in disguise to contact Gu Hou! "
No one had any doubts about Shen Congxing's words, because that night, no one in the Shen family was left open except for Shen Congxing who had a lucky escape. Even Shen Congxing's first wife, Zou, was also there. The palace was killed together with Queen Shen.
The news coming out of the palace was that Zou was killed by an assassin in order to protect Queen Shen.
"You are all members of the imperial court. We, our military-honored generals, have been favored by the emperor for generations. Now the Cao family has gone against the grain, murdering officials and the queen, wantonly killing high officials in the court, and destroying people at every turn. Such cruelty and tyranny are even worse than Jie and Zhou... ····”
In the afternoon of that day, the British Duke quietly left the city with General Zheng and other senior generals and returned to the camp in the western suburbs.
Time passes gradually and night falls!
Gu Er, the Zheng brothers, Xiao Duan, Wang Zhong, Yuan Wenshao, Liang Han and other distinguished disciples led their servants to guard the courtyard. The disciples they supported hid their weapons and gathered towards Wansheng Gate. .
Wansheng Gate is the main gate of the outer city wall of the West City. The gate does not open like other zigzag gates, but opens straight. A broad and straight long street connects the inner city, with Xuande Gate in the south of the Imperial City as the center, and Xinchen Gate in the East City. The Caomen Gate corresponds to the central axis and is vertically connected to the world-famous Imperial Street in front of the Xuande Gate.
At three o'clock in the morning, are the three fireworks on time? It exploded in the sky outside the city.
In a house in a dark alley next to Wansheng Gate, Gu Er, dressed in armor, kept staring at the sky outside the city, waiting for the agreed signal. As soon as the fireworks exploded in the sky, Gu Er immediately stood up: "Here we come! "
Next to him, Wang Zhong, who was holding a large carved dark brown bow and carrying a quiver on his back, looked at each other and said, "Success or failure depends on this battle!"
Their eyes met, Wang Zhong shook the big bow in his hand, with strong confidence in his eyes: "I believe that man can conquer nature!"
"In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and schemes are just useless!"
Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong: "The Queen Mother holds half of the troops in the capital!"
A smile appeared on Wang Zhong's face: "Aren't you always curious about what level my strength is?"
Gu Er was stunned for a moment, then said worriedly: "How can one person defeat thousands of troops?"
Gu Er was born in the Marquis House of Ningyuan and served as a general for generations. He has been practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child. .
As strong as an overlord, wouldn't he end up committing suicide in Wujiang in the end?
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Do you think someone who cherishes his life as much as me would be stupid enough to make fun of his own life?"
Gu Er also smiled and said immediately: "We will fight with swords and guns without eyesight, and I won't care about you!"
Wang Zhong said: "Just take care of yourself!"
"Let's go!"
Looking away, Gu Er took a deep breath, the expression on his face became solemn, and he took the lead to walk out of the house.
The city wall at night was shrouded in dim firelight. Fires and torches spread from the root of the city wall along the steps of the corridor to the top of the city tower.
The soldiers guarding the city were all wearing thick cotton-padded jackets and armor, carrying long spears on their shoulders. They sat close to the fire in twos and threes, relying on the heat from the fire to fight against the biting cold.
"what sound?"
Beside the fire, a soldier with keen ears seemed to have heard something, but he just turned his head and looked into the darkness suspiciously.
The arrow carried by the strong wind whizzed towards his face, piercing his throat with incomparable precision, suppressing all the sounds. However, the arrow was not completely gone, and then penetrated into the body of the person behind him. In the chest.
"Enemy attack!"
Dozens of feathered arrows flew out of the darkness, and a dozen unlucky soldiers were furious on the spot. The rest had just come to their senses and shouted a warning at the top of their lungs, but a barrage of arrows arrived in front of them in an instant.
The dull and dense footsteps also sounded.
"kill!
"Today is the day to bring order to the chaos!"
Gu Er held a tiger-headed golden gun and was wearing golden armor. He rushed to the front. Wang Zhong led more than a hundred archers to shoot three rounds. After three rounds of upward shots, Gu Er also led his men to kill. Nearby.
The defenders near the tower also reacted immediately.
"Archer!"
At the parapet of the city battlements, a man who looked like a general wearing general armor had just issued an order. Dozens of steps away, from the roof of a two-story house, an arrow flew up diagonally. In an instant that could not be fired. , already penetrated the guard's throat.
"kill!"
Capturing the city gate is not as simple as rushing over and occupying the gate. As the main gate of the West City, Wansheng Gate has three straight gates, with an urn in the middle. Above the urn, there were originally soldiers and horses from the city defense camp, and now there are also the New Year's Eve gates. The Divine Guards entered the city late.
"Watch out for the archers!"
A reminder came from behind!
"Formation!"
Seeing that he was about to reach the base of the city wall, Gu Er shouted without thinking. One by one, the soldiers who were tall and strong and carrying special shields nearly as tall as a man quickly stepped forward with their shields, forming simple mandarin duck formations one by one. Instantly formed.
However, Wang Zhong did not enter the formation. Instead, he took off his outer blouse, revealing the special double-layered walking armor inside. The special armor could not even be penetrated by a divine arm crossbow. He handed the big bow in his hand to Wang Erxi next to him. After receiving the trump card handed over by Yu Chuer, Wang Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly moved forward and began to accelerate.
In just a few breaths, Wang Zhong's speed became faster and faster. In an instant, he passed Gu Er in the front line and rushed to the front. Without stopping at all, he rushed into the defenders' formation at the steps of the city tower like a meteor falling to the ground. middle.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Without any reservation, he exploded with strength and speed ten times that of ordinary people, and the true energy in his body was also running at high speed. The pair of 24-pound maces seemed to be covered with a layer of dense glow.
Just listen.
Screams rang out one after another, and each soldier was smashed away like a rag bag. Wang Zhong continued to climb up the city wall at an extremely fast speed. None of the soldiers blocking the front could be his enemy. .
That pair of iron maces can really kill you if you hit them, and hurt them if you rub them.
A strong general tried to block him with his spear, but the iron mace bent the iron gun body with thunderous force, and then hit the general's chest with unabated force, directly knocking him down. The body weighing several hundred kilograms flew out, spitting out mouthfuls of scarlet blood in mid-air, hitting the soldiers behind him, knocking down two or three people one after another, and then fell to the steps.
The spear pierced the man's body, but apart from splashing sparks, it couldn't stop him at all.
The defenders on the steps kept retreating towards the city wall, Wang Zhong kept moving up, and corpses kept falling down.
Gu Er, who saw Wang Zhong attack with all his strength for the first time, was almost dumbfounded. Fortunately, as a general, he quickly reacted and immediately called on everyone to follow Wang Zhong and rush to the city wall!
"Follow up!"
"quick!"
In less than ten breaths, Wang Zhong, dressed in black armor and holding two maces, rushed up to the city wall. He waved his maces endlessly, smashed several heads, and knocked away five or six soldiers.
"Those who surrender will be spared death, and those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy!"
"What are you afraid of? Come on, he is alone!" A general in the distance kept urging his soldiers to move forward.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"General, in front of us are our own brothers!"
"Kill him, and you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land! He will be promoted to the third level!"
"Fuck me quickly!"
"kill him!"
Money and silk are attractive to people's hearts. This is the simplest way to boost morale. When enough benefits are in front of them, people will dare to go through it even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
"kill!"
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!
Looking at the defenders with crazy eyes and ferocious faces, Wang Zhong didn't hesitate at all on his face, didn't pause for a moment with his maces in his hands, and didn't even have the slightest intention of backing down. He still rushed forward indomitably.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Well done!"
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
As if the warm blood engraved in his bones had been activated, Wang Zhong felt the blood boiling all over his body, and the true energy in his body was running faster and smoother.
After locking the position of the general who gave the order, Wang Zhong rushed over.
The specially made double infantry armor weighs up to 150 kilograms and cannot even be penetrated by a divine arm crossbow, let alone these ordinary soldiers!
At this time, Wang Zhong was like a ruthless killing machine. He kept wielding his maces and soldiers fell beside him one after another.
The black armor was already stained with red and white filth.
It seemed that what was standing in front of him was not thousands of forbidden troops, but lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
When Gu Er led the people to rush up to the tower, he looked at the fallen corpses all around, and looked at the burly figure in front of him who was still charging forward and reaping lives. Gu Er's eyes were full of shock.
"Follow me!"
When the leader of the sheep is replaced by a tiger, the sheep will not be afraid at all even when faced with wolves.
"kill!"
How could Gu Er miss such a good opportunity!
"Die!"
Wang Zhong was like a chisel, cutting straight through the formation of hundreds of people. He came to the general who gave the order, turned around and smashed his mace on the head. In the fear on the general's face, the mace carried an unstoppable force. The huge force knocked his long sword away and hit him directly on the head.
With a snap, red and white splashed out in an instant.
There was a solemn silence.
All the defenders looked at the general whose head was smashed with a mace, and at the figure who was covered in blood and looked like a god and a demon.
The world seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, leaving only the sound of swallowing saliva one after another.
"I am Wang Zhong, the salt and iron envoy!" Wang Zhong finally spoke.
"Now the Queen Mother is acting against the will, murdering the officials and the Queen, and committing treacherous and unethical acts. Today we are raising troops just for the sake of King Qin, just to bring order to the chaos!"
"Kneel down, hold the weapon above your head, and resist stubbornly. This is the end!"
In an instant, there was an endless sound of the collision of armor leaves, and a large number of people knelt down on the city wall.
"We are willing to surrender!"
"God, have mercy!"
"We are willing to surrender!"
In the eyes of these defenders, Wang Zhong was not a mortal at all, but a divine general from heaven. With just one man, he killed hundreds of them without being able to fight back.
Taking the head of an admiral out of a crowd of thousands of soldiers is like a god coming out of a storybook, telling them how to survive and resist.
Not only these defenders, but also Gu Er and a group of distinguished disciples, as well as the personal guards and servants who came to attack the city gate, looked at Wang Zhong with burning eyes.
The ancients were inherently superstitious and worshiped Buddhism and Taoism. For some mysterious things that they could not understand, they often attributed them to gods and ghosts.
The force displayed by Wang Zhong now is beyond the reach of human beings. He is the ancient overlord, and I am afraid this is nothing more than that.
After collecting the weapons of the defenders, Gu Ertong's men quickly occupied the entire Wansheng Gate. The three straight gates were opened one after another, three fireworks rose into the sky, and three bonfires were also lit at the top of the city.
Just wait for the British Duke and General Zheng to arrive with their army!
On top of the city, Gu Er looked at Wang Zhong, who was standing at the battlement and looking out of the city, and asked with a bit of joking: "I'm also very curious, is it true that Zihou is a god descended to earth?"
Wang Zhong turned to look at Gu Er: "What do Zhong Huai think?"
"I think it must be!" Gu Er did not look at Wang Zhong anymore, but looked at the long snake made of torches getting closer and closer outside the city, and said, "It seems that our plan can be changed again!"
