Chapter 74 Chess Pieces

Zhao Yuan has always been curious about Wang Bin's identity, and he never expected that he was actually Xia Zizai! No wonder those people wanted to kill him at the beginning. They already knew his identity and wanted to take advantage of him when he was not in Zizai City.

Kill him.

But now his situation is not optimistic. He is surrounded by more than ten people, but there are only a few seven or eight people protecting him.

Fortunately, they were standing against the wall, so they didn't have to worry about being attacked from behind. Everyone was more or less injured, and it looked like they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Perhaps for the soldiers who protected Xia Zizai, they never expected that their colleagues who usually got along with them day and night would suddenly turn against them!

Xia Zizai himself had no idea that so many of the soldiers who were supposed to be loyal to him would rebel. Of course, he also knew very well who they were now, the Brahma Sect!

I originally thought that I had cleared the Brahma Sect out of Zizi City, but I realized that there were so many hidden in the army, and I didn’t know how many merchants were coming and going.

"Young Master Yang, please save my king first!"

Qin Yu said hurriedly when he saw this.

Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Then be careful first!"

After saying that, he held the knife with both hands, rushed over, and swung it fiercely.

As soon as the sharp sword force came, he pounced directly from behind them.

In an instant, there were screams, and then the long knife in his hand was swung out. Those soldiers were no match for him. Several of them fell to the ground in an instant, and their encirclement was torn open.

Come on.

When Wang Bin and others who were surrounded inside saw the reinforcements coming, they immediately began to counterattack outside as if they had been given a shot in the arm.

In an instant, the unfavorable situation was suddenly changed. Zhao Yuan, a new force, not only broke their encirclement, but also gave the soldiers who protected Xia Zizai great courage.

"Kill!"

Those soldiers shouted loudly. Now they were full of anger. They were beaten inexplicably, and many of their colleagues died in the hands of these people.

For a time, they became extremely brave, and several corpses fell on the ground in an instant.

When the other soldiers saw this, they immediately felt timid and began to flee, and they all escaped in an instant.

Zhao Yuan flicked his hand to shake off the blood on the knife, looked at Wang Bin, or Xia Zizai, and said, "I didn't expect you to be Xia Zizai!"

Xia Zizai smiled and said, "It's not too late to know now!"

Zhao Yuandao: "That's true, then King Zi Zi, what should you do next?"

Xia Zizai's face straightened, he raised his arms and said, "Of course we must drive those people out of my territory! All your sons, follow me and kill them!"

"kill!"

The soldiers roared loudly, and even Qin Yu, who did not know any martial arts, picked up a knife and roared loudly.

Xia Zizai was not only the king of Zizai City, but also the soul figure in the hearts of these soldiers. He raised his arms like this, and the morale of the soldiers was immediately boosted. They rushed outside and ran toward those who heard the sound of fighting along the way.

Zhao Yuan also told him the difference between his own soldiers and Brahma Sect soldiers, so that he would not hit the wrong person.

At first, the number of people was only seven or eight, but now it is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and the number of soldiers who have surrendered to the Brahma Sect is getting smaller and smaller. Facing the momentum of Hongxia Zizai and others, they are now

No matter where the opponent was, he fought and retreated, and when he completely drove them out from the building facade of the upper city, Xia Zi had already gathered nearly 300 people here, while the Brahma Sect only had more than 200 people left.

, the situation has been reversed.

Zhao Yuan is now a fierce general in Xia Zizai's hands. He has changed his sword several times, and his body is covered with blood. Moreover, he takes the lead, just like a sharp knife, directly killing those who resist.

Split from the middle, seeing how powerful he was, the soldiers naturally gained momentum and followed him all the way.

At this moment, the Brahma believers have been compressed into a small group. Xia Zizai's men and horses have completely surrounded them. The sound of fighting above has also subsided a lot, but down in the city, the sound of fighting at this moment is still continuing, and many people are burning.

A raging fire broke out, and the Brahma cultists took advantage of the chaos and began to attack the merchants and rob them of their belongings. The situation was somewhat out of control.

For Xia Zizai, the most important thing now is to solve the above problems first, and then have the energy to solve the below problems.

At this moment, he took a step forward and looked at the ordinary subordinates in front of him. Many of these people were brought out from Jiayuguan by him, but now they were standing against him. He felt somewhat distressed in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he said loudly: "Put down your weapons, and I will pardon your innocence! Then I will allow you to bring enough dry food and water and leave Zizai City!"

Different from the previous day or two, Xia Zizai drove them out of the city and did not allow them to bring dry food and water. It would undoubtedly be like sending them to death. But it is different now. Considering that they are also called the leaders of this city.

Protectors work hard even without merit, so they are allowed to bring dry food and water, giving them a chance of survival.

And if they are not given a chance to survive, they will definitely fight to the end. The lower city is now in a mess, and Xia Zizai is also anxious to clean it up.

"it's useless!"

Zhao Yuan sighed secretly in his heart. Those Brahma believers felt as if they had been brainwashed, just like the Japanese samurai hundreds of years later. The Bushido spirit they pursued regarded death in battle as the most loyal and highest honor to the emperor! Moreover, he encountered many encounters along the way.

Seeing that there were so many Brahma believers, no one turned to them at all. Either they would die if they didn't fight, or they would die of swallowing poison. The only ones who survived were probably the Poisonous Wasp couple.

Xia Zizai glanced at Zhao Yuan doubtfully.

At this moment, the soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, and immediately they all rushed forward. Maybe they had never considered this issue at all.

As soon as they pounced on them, Xia Zizai's soldiers immediately began to fight back. They had the advantage in numbers and in a short time, none of those soldiers survived. Their counterattack before they died also cost Xia Zizai's soldiers a lot of money.

cost.

Xia Zizai looked at the corpses on the ground in pain and closed his eyes slightly. After a moment, he slowly opened them and said: "Qin Yu, arrange for people to bandage the injured soldiers immediately. The uninjured soldiers will go to the lower city immediately.

On the one hand, protect the city gate, and on the other hand, destroy the enemies in the city!"

"yes!"

Qin Yu immediately agreed and went to make arrangements.

After saying that, Xia Zizai looked at Zhao Yuan and said: "Young Master Yang, I have to ask you to go to the lower city gates and make sure they are stable!"

Fires have been lit in many places in the lower city at this moment, illuminating the entire lower city of Zizai City like daylight. From here, you can also see the gate of the lower city. The gate is still closed and has not been opened, indicating that the gate may be

Still in his own hands.

The most critical issue now is not to allow the city gate to be breached. Otherwise, if there are enemies on the outside, they can attack from both inside and outside. Once the city gate is breached, there will be no natural protection for Zizi City to rely on.

Zhao Yuan immediately nodded in agreement and hurried towards the city gate. After Zizai City experienced such a disaster, maybe Xia Zizai could help fight against the Brahma Sect.

I originally wanted to convince him, but I never thought that I might use this method in the end. It really came true to the saying that only when you feel pain in your body can you know the feeling of being pricked by a needle.

After running all the way to the city gate, Zhao Yuan found that the city gate had not been breached, but it was also in danger. The soldiers guarding the city gate were tenaciously resisting the Brahma cultists who came to seize control of the city gate.

It turns out that when he was designing the city gate, Xia Zizai put a lot of thought into it. The city gate was not pushed open facing each other. Instead, the city gate needed to be lifted up with a winch, and the winch was installed in the arrow tower on the city wall.

.

The soldiers stationed at the city gate are related to the safety of the entire Zizai City. Therefore, these soldiers are the Ming troops that Xia Zizai brought out from Jiayuguan. They are loyal to him. When the Brahma cultists in the city were in turmoil, there were only three of them.

The Brahma cultists were wiped out in an instant.

The Brahma cultists below tried their best to seize control of the city gate, so they first had to attack the city wall. There were only very narrow steps leading from the underground to the city wall, so the soldiers guarding the city gate used the steps to resist their attack.

That's why you can persevere.

Another reason is that the Brahma Sect is somewhat hasty in trying to seize control of the city this time. There are no martial arts masters coming to help. After all, the focus of the Brahma Sect is on the Central Plains Wulin. Although there are Brahma Sect strongholds nearby,

However, there are no powerful people in this stronghold. Those few people, such as the innkeepers, want to take credit alone. They don't report it at all. They simply kill them first and then show off. According to their understanding of the city, they only need to capture the city gate and the outside of the city.

People poured in to join the people in the city, and then the people who went up to the city captured Xia Zizai, so the entire Zizai City was in their pocket.

However, they did not expect that the city gate could not be opened. The people who were driven out had no weapons or siege equipment. They were helpless in the face of the thick city gate, and they could not climb the high city wall.

I could hear the sounds of fighting coming from the city and I was worried.

Of course, they still had a glimmer of fantasy, that is, after Xia Zizai was killed, the city gate would eventually be opened, but what happened was completely beyond their expectations. Xia Zizai quickly put down the army's rebellion, and Zhao Yuan was the one who changed the situation of the war.
