"Old thief Gao Qiu! I am your eighteenth generation ancestor!"
Not only Yang Wen was suddenly attacked by his own army and almost died, but Wang Huan, Zhang Zhang, Han Cunbao and others were also in danger. Zhang Zhang no longer ignored the fear of the military commander Gao Qiu and went high
He cursed fiercely, but even though he tried his best to block with his spear, he could only shoot down the crossbow arrows that were fired at his vitals. He was still stabbed in two places by sharp arrows. The horse under his crotch also hissed sadly and immediately
Thrown to the ground.
Even Zhu Jing, who was fighting fiercely with him, was thrown to the ground with his men and horses. Seeing that the war horse he was riding was pierced by seven or eight crossbow arrows, and blood was pouring out of the bloody holes in his body, Zhu Jing cursed and subconsciously just
When he was about to make a move, he heard Zhang Kai, who had also fallen to the ground not far away, shouting loudly: "If you want to save your life, just lower your body and hide behind the horse corpse!"
Zhu Jing also immediately noticed the density of the crossbow arrows fired at him, and it was even harder to block and dodge when he stood up. Although it was difficult to make moves to deal with it when lying on the ground, fortunately, the strong crossbow was weak and could not penetrate Lu Shen. The officer's crossbowmen were holding divine arm bows.
He could only launch a sneak attack on Xiao Tang and others in an area close to the edge of the range of the powerful crossbow in his hand. With his force gradually exhausted, the crossbow arrows, which were originally extremely penetrating, could not penetrate the horse corpse and opened it again.
Respectfully shoot them through. Otherwise, if hundreds of crossbow arrows were suddenly shot from a distance of a hundred steps, even if Xiao Tang, Wang Huan and others were very skilled in martial arts, most of them would be killed or injured immediately!
The brave generals of both sides who had just fought against each other were now trying to avoid the rain of sharp arrows fired by the army from the divine arm bows. Xu Jing, Li Congji, Xiang Yuanzhen, and Wang Wende had already been defeated by Jiedu.
The envoy was escorted in the direction of Xiaotang's army and thus escaped disaster. However, seeing how cruel Gao Qiu was, they ordered his soldiers to attack the army, including Wang Huan, Zhang Kai and other brothers.
When the generals shot sharp arrows, each one was furious and shouted harshly in the direction of the army's formation!
He was captured by Xiao Tang's fierce generals, but his skills were inferior to others, so he had to admit defeat. But now he was about to be killed by his own army commander Gao Qiu. This taught Xiang Yuanzhen, Wang Wende and others who were already weak and angry how to deal with it.
Can you hold it back!?
At this time, only Xiao Tang, Lu Junyi, Wang Huan, and Han Cunbao were the only ones who could still urge their horses, wave their weapons, and try their best to block the rain of sharp arrows that hit their heads and faces.
The gold-chiselled tiger-headed dragon-tooth gun in his hand danced so hard that water couldn't be splashed into it, protecting Xiao Tang's body like a roaring and circling golden dragon. The tinkling sound was endless, and it shot out a hail of sharp arrows and hit the ground, while Xiao Tang's crotch
The Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse he was riding on was also very smart. Sometimes he was tossing and turning, and sometimes he was leaping across his hooves to avoid other crossbow arrows. Although Xiao Tang could keep his integrity for a while, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and
He thought to himself: Old thief Gao Qiu really does not regard the lives of Wang Huan and other veterans who have made great contributions to the court as human beings!!
Xiao Tang, whose eyes were about to burst, blocked the incoming arrows, and his expression changed immediately when he looked away from the corner of his eye. He quickly fired another shot, and shot the weapon that was about to penetrate Wang Huan's heart.
The arrow flew away. When Xiao Tang looked at it again, he saw Wang Huan panting as his spear moves became slower and slower. The look in his eyes gradually dimmed, and an arrow and crossbow had already pierced his chest.
The left rib area was stained red with a piece of armor...
In the army formation, in front of the palace, the four generals Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, Feng Mei, and Bi Sheng, as well as soldiers and horses from the capital and west of the capital, were watching the tragic scene in front of them. Most of them had complicated expressions on their faces, but they were also like the followers around them.
The officers and generals were average, and even if they had some objections to Gao Qiu's despicable behavior, no one dared to criticize the commander-in-chief of their own army to his face.
Although most of the generals who served in the former department of Bianjing Palace had little friendship with those military governors who were usually idle, Wang Huan and others did not know how to praise them, and they always looked down upon the generals in Bianjing who listened to Gao Qiu.
.The Song Dynasty has always emphasized civility over military affairs. Not only were the commanders of each dynasty restrained when they went on an expedition, but they also had to look down on the civilian officials. It was not uncommon for generals in the army to scheming with each other and even secretly trying to kill each other. What's more, it was not uncommon in the military.
When generals are at odds, it is not uncommon for generals to secretly harbor grudges and take advantage of military law to deal with them, or to have their colleagues killed by false enemies. However, in any case, Gao Qiu did a little too much this time.
pass.
After all, some dirty deeds have been done, and it is difficult to stop the world from saying anything. Even when Tong Guan wanted to fight for the military power of the Western Army, he used his power to suppress others and forced Liu Fa to run into the ambush of the Xia army, instead of directly
He directly fought against his colleagues in the army openly, concealed the truth of the defeat afterwards, and then secretly did some tricks to kill Liu Fa in the prison camp of Salmon Island. These things could not be exposed openly. But Gao Qiu did not.
Without any worries, any Jiedushi general or military officer was abandoned as an abandoned son. Even though Feng Mei, Qiu Yue and others had always disliked Wang Huan and other Jiedushi who they considered to be relying on their old age, they were both
Soldiers in the army will inevitably feel sad about the death of a rabbit or a fox.
However, these generals who still had to obey Gao Qiu only dared to murmur in their hearts. Since Gao Qiu had no scruples in using his generals, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, Feng Mei, Bi Sheng and other generals wanted to protect their official status.
The status quo is willing to stoop to flattery, but there is only one way to go to the end. The situation in front of him is the end that makes Captain Gao unhappy. Those generals in the front department of Bianjing Palace also know very well that if they make a slight mistake, they will offend the court.
Powerful ministers, then today for Wang Huan and other Jiedushi envoys will be their own tomorrow.
What's more, Feng Mei, Qiu Yue and others didn't have time to think about it anymore. Now they were about to face a furious counterattack by Xiao Tang's army.
The archers and horsemen who rushed out from the two wings of the military formation listed under Xiao Tang's command, as well as the crossbowmen of various tribes who quickly stepped forward in the middle, the generals of each branch shouted orders one after another, and the archers of various tribes on horseback raised their bows.
, pull the string, and stare at the action in one go, accompanied by several loud shouts such as "shoot the arrow!"
Suddenly bursting out of the sky, bringing with it a sharp whistle that made people tremble with fear. After passing through the sky, it was like a violent storm and headed towards the crossbowmen of the government and army teams who had just attacked Xiao Tang, Wang Huan and others.
Pour down!
Screams and wails sounded continuously, and the crossbowmen of the army fell like wheat. At least Gao Qiu secretly ordered the crossbowmen of the teams holding divine arm bows to only fire one shot.
After firing a volley, Xiao Tang's brothers who were watching reacted immediately. Otherwise, if they allowed the opponent to close the distance and fire a volley, they would be afraid of catching a group of soldiers fighting in front of the formation.
A lot of good luck.
At this time, after all, Wang Huan, who was already old and exhausted after fighting Xiao Tang for a long time, was shot in the waist by a crossbow arrow. His eyes were in a trance, and his body swayed on the horse, and finally everything went dark.
, with the jolting of the galloping horse, he was about to fall and fall to the ground.
Xiao Tang galloped forward with his horse, rushed forward, and stretched out his arms to catch Wang Huan who fell. The veteran general in the army who was the leader of the ten festivals and had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in the side court was now even more powerful.
Like a dying old man, he struggled to open his eyes, vaguely glanced at Xiao Tang and couldn't help but smile miserably, and said: "I thought... the two armies were killing each other with swords and no eyes, so they had no choice but to fight with him.
My little friend fought fiercely, and even if his life was here, he died a worthy death... But I didn't expect that what was going to take my life in the end... was a secret arrow shot by my colleagues in the army..."
After hearing Wang Huan's tragic words, Xiao Tang suddenly felt angry. He immediately lifted Wang Huan onto his saddle, and was about to drive the Zhao Ye Jade Lion back to the formation at a gallop before instructing others to quickly treat Wang Huan's injuries.
, and he slashed forward with the big gold-chiselled spear in his hand, and all his troops and horses moved together, not only sending out a rain of arrows all over the sky, but the huge cavalry formation of all the troops also carried the power of crushing everything in front of them, heading straight towards
The officers and soldiers from the front are rolling in, like the sky and the earth are falling apart!
