Bookish Chapter 27: Crafty
Zhu Xiu learned about the failure of the palace battlefield under the narrative of his subordinates and looked worried.
After all, he was a man who had fought on the battlefield. How could he be unfamiliar with the "White-Faced Demon Lord" slaughtering bells? But in a blink of an eye, his face was relieved.
The advantage of the poison of the slaughtering monument is its strong toxicity, but this is also his fatal flaw.
Even if there is an antidote, it is still difficult to resist the erosion of this poison. It is an act of killing one thousand enemies and destroying one hundred by themselves. It is like taking a chestnut from fire.
Zhu Xiu looked at the sky again. There were still three hours before dawn. When his reinforcements arrived, he would have to pile up corpses to make a way out of life.
At this time, the wind in the imperial city suddenly stopped. Zhu Xiu stood up excitedly and said, "God helps me, there is no wind. I see how you spread poison and how you spread poisonous fog?"
He said to his subordinates: "Continue to attack, even if you die, you will break the palace open!"
When his subordinates sent an order to leave, he picked up a big knife, turned over and stepped onto the horse's back, and pointed directly in front of him with great momentum, "The rest of them followed me to Dali Temple!"
To usurp the throne is not just about killing an emperor, but more importantly, it is about destroying the loyal ministers around the emperor.
During his deployment, the emperor was killed by him personally, while the others were responsible for attacking the palace, washing the palace bloodied, and changing the dynasty!
——
A carriage stopped in front of the Dali Temple. Ji Ming took the lead in getting off the carriage, knocked on the gate of the Dali Temple, and said, "Open the door, I am the Grand Tutor Ji Ming."
The two guards of the gate opened the door quickly and before they could speak, Ji Ming made a move to silence. He booed and said, "Don't speak no matter what you see later!"
The two guards nodded and walked down from the carriage a man in luxurious clothes. The two guards were about to act subconsciously, but they stopped quickly when they saw Ji Ming's eyes.
Most of the troops in the entire imperial city were in the palace to resist the main forces of the rebels, but there were still nearly 500 imperial guards missing inexplicably and hiding in unknown places in the imperial city.
Zhu Xiu brought a thousand men to the gate of Dali Temple. Without saying a word, he broke into the door and killed the two guards with one sword.
"The Dog Emperor is here to kill me!"
A bunch of people rushed into Dali Temple, and not long after they walked in, the entire ground collapsed with a rumbling sound. A large pit dozens of feet deep appeared in front of everyone. Many soldiers rushed too fast and fell into the middle of the crowd.
If it were just an ordinary pit, it wouldn't be very serious, but the pit was full of upside down wooden stick tips.
, densely packed. All soldiers who fell into it died of life!
But after all, the size of the pit is limited, and there are only a few dozen soldiers and horses that fall into it. These soldiers are all people who have experienced fighting. They don’t care about these unlucky people. They bypass the trap and continue to rush forward!
Dali Temple adopts a tri-central hall format. The outer hall and square are the largest space for training soldiers. Inside is the office, and further inside is the temporary residence of some important officials.
After the team rushed in, in order to prevent the situation of falling into the trap from falling twice, and in addition, the rapid movement of the horses in the hall was not conducive to the horses, they dismounted and chose to take the sword.
"Swish swish swish!" When everyone broke into the hall, Dali Temple had already prepared the mechanism, and hundreds of sharp arrows shot out from all corners!
The group of people couldn't react in time and swung their swords randomly to dodge, but they were still not as numerous as these sharp arrows. Not long after, a large number of people fell to the ground and couldn't afford to get up!
"The arrow is poisonous! Be careful!" A soldier was shot on his arm and immediately fainted and fell to the ground.
A group of people fought and retreated, slowly exiting the hall, and the mechanisms inside were still firing sharp arrows, like a fine rain of arrows.
Zhu Xiu stepped forward from behind and shouted angrily: "Are you all kicked by a donkey in your brain? Get the shield!"
Everyone then remembered to pick up the shield immediately. Several people formed a circle in groups, and the shields were connected to each other, and they slowly moved forward like a turtle shell. After walking for a while, the rain of arrows eased slightly, probably because they were about to run out of ammunition and food.
"Huh, what is this?" A soldier's arms holding the shield were chilling under a deck of shields. He sniffed the smell on his nose and suddenly shouted loudly, "It's tar! Everyone, run!"
It turned out that after the arrow rain was fired, tar poured down from the beams. The shield could block the arrow rain, but how could it block the omnipresent tar?
Just as everyone was about to retreat, a huge net that was enough to cover the hall suddenly fell from the hall. The giant net was surrounded by human heads and the weight was amazing. The giant net fell to the ground and made a loud "bang" sound, and the ground was smashed into a big pit by the shot put!
A group of people are like turtles with limited mobility, completely trapped in it, wanting to move but the more they get stuck, the more they die.
"Bang!" A sharp black arrow cut through the night and shot accurately on the shield. The shield and the arrow were made of fine gold, copper and iron. The two collided with each other and made a sharp and harsh sound, rubbing out invisible sparks!
"Raging!" is this invisible spark,
The tar on the shield was lit, and the flames rose instantly, and the entire hall was like a sea of fire!
"Ah! Save me!"
"Water, come water!"
"Let me out!"
The people trapped in the big net also started to catch fire, screaming without hearing it!
Arrow rain lures turtles, big nets catch turtles, tar shower turtles, and fire roast turtles.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiu thought, this would not work, it would be too passive, and he would definitely be slowly worn out by the opponent.
He immediately changed his mind and said to his subordinates around him: "You will be surrounded by hundreds of people, and I will be led by men and horses from behind!"
A group of soldiers began to slowly evacuate from the hall.
When Zhu Xiu came to the back of Dali Temple, he found a carriage that was about to escape. He was overjoyed, "Stop him for me, the dog emperor is inside!"
The people around him rushed forward quickly, and after a few slashes, the horse's legs were cut off and the carriage was overturned.
Someone was quick to stab the carriage into the carriage, feeling the feeling of the big knife stabbing into the object, and his eyebrows were dancing. However, when he pulled out the big knife, he found that it was not blood but strange unknown powder, and his expression suddenly changed!
Another accomplice didn't understand why, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw buckets of explosives scattered all over the ground.
"Not good!" The man was about to escape, but it was too late.
"Bang!" A fire light soared into the sky, making a deafening sound, alarming the entire imperial city and breaking the tranquility of the night. From a distance, a huge mushroom suddenly appeared from the imperial city, and the flames swept across and swallowed a circle of people around the carriage in an instant!
"Fuck!" Zhu Xiu knew he was fooled again and couldn't help but say something!
But at this moment, a scream came from behind. Zhu Xiu thought for a moment and quickly turned around and fell into a trap!
At this time, Ji Ming, with several elite troops, defeated the soldiers surrounded by Dali Temple one by one and killed them all!
He deliberately set up a sea of fire in the hall, hoping that Zhu Xiu would choose to avoid the edge for the time being. At this moment, while Zhu Xiu dispersed his subordinates, he could concentrate his troops to defeat them one by one! This is also one of the plans they have been planning.
Zhu Xiu brought his men to the front door again, but found the bodies of his subordinates on the ground, and the Imperial Guards who were escaping from a distance, furiously rushed to the cap!
"Chasing me!"
A roar in the darkness shattered the sky!
Chapter completed!
