Zhurou

I heard the endless shouts of "Long Live" in my ears, and saw the ceremonial guard clearing the way, and the emperor's imperial chariot slowly moved forward in the battlefield, really not afraid of arrows everywhere, as if there was a god protecting it - it turned out that the imperial chariot was surrounded In the middle, there is an extremely thick stainless steel, blocking it on all sides, and on the outer layer there are guards holding extremely high shields to protect it. Once the arrows fly close, as long as they enter the surrounding area, they will be stopped.

The shape and size of the royal chariot, including the guards on the left and right, were not as simplified as when the imperial statue came before. Instead, it was as grand as the real emperor going on a patrol. The group appeared so suddenly, yet so naturally, as if they were falling from the sky.

And as the shouts of "Long live" got louder and louder, the stainless steel curtains surrounding the chariot were slowly opened.

The city wall was too far away from where the royal chariot was. In fact, I had no idea what was going on there. I couldn't even see clearly who the characters were or what their shape was. All I knew was that in the blink of an eye, the atmosphere below the city was already filled with excitement. At this moment, cooking oil with a strong fire is not enough to describe it. It was like strong wine on fire, and it rushed upward with a roar, and the roar of the mountain flew into the sky.

Along with the chaotic "Long Live", "Your Majesty", "Your Majesty" and other sounds, there were two extremely sharp whistles to suppress everything. If you listen carefully, you can see that many whistles are combined in one place to make such a sound.

As soon as the second whistle sounded, countless sharp arrows were shot out, like locusts filling the sky, heading straight in the middle direction.

In the previous round of volley fire, the Di people inevitably looked behind and could not guard against the front when they retreated. They were hit by the arrow rain and suffered a lot of damage. This time, they were forced by the morale of the shouts. After being frightened, Di people finally Most of the soldiers lived on horseback and had experienced countless battles. Although they retreated and were suddenly attacked, their formation remained stable. Some people had already moved forward with shields, and the rest followed the old practice of hiding or giving way, forming an arrangement. formation, quickly hiding behind shields.

At this time, the two sides were only partially connected, and they were already fighting together, but the team behind them was still a long way away.

Almost all of the Di soldiers holding shields in front were experienced, and the soldiers behind them also had their own estimates. It was natural to see that at such a distance, even if the shot was shot on the shield, it would not have much force, and many of them were wearing thick armor. The attacker passed the person in front of him and moved forward quickly. He wanted to close the distance and drew his bows to shoot at each other in order to gain the upper hand.

There were about a hundred people in this group, and they were fighting horses. They all held short shields as if there was a tacit understanding. However, after taking a few steps forward, they saw the darkness ahead under the heavy rain of arrows, and many black shadows shot out quickly, just like the previous shooting. Like the general's flag, it was sent later again.

After careful calculation, the time when the black shadow was released was actually earlier than the time when everyone left the team. Although it may only take one breath, after all, it came first at this moment.

The Di soldiers in front didn't even have time to hide, and they didn't know the number of incoming black shadows. They could only raise their shields and hide their heads, faces and half of their bodies behind their backs.

More than a hundred Di soldiers were scattered on the battlefield, and they came out one after another. In fact, they were quite scattered and sparse. At this time, it can be seen that the flying black shadow was not very accurate, but it faced more than ten people, and the other black shadows continued to fly behind. shoot.

First, the sounds of hits were heard one after another, and the flying shadow and the shield at the front had already collided.

This group of Di soldiers were holding shields and had many experiences, so they were not very nervous. Just as the first one had to estimate the time according to the previous method, he didn't want to turn around to see how the comrades behind him would react. He saw something nearby. Not only those hiding behind the shields, but also those who could see a little further away had frightened expressions on their faces.

It was at this moment that he slapped his hands hard, and before he could make any move, the horse that was running forward suddenly stopped.

This man felt a pain in his chest. The pain was extremely dull. The coldness and dull pain penetrated from his heart to his limbs and bones, making it difficult for him to even turn his head. He could no longer lift the shield with his hands, so he had to let go.

Even so, for some unknown reason, the shield did not fall off, but seemed to be firmly welded to the horse.

When the man slowly turned his head back up, he saw a thick long arrow penetrated the shield, penetrated the thick armor on his body, and penetrated the chest. Even though he couldn't see behind him, with his eyesight, he could only see the exposed arrow shaft. Length, I also know that it must have penetrated my body.

Because he had just subconsciously ducked and hid behind the shield, the arrow came down from above, piercing his chest and stomach. The pain caused the man's vision to go dark. Before his consciousness disappeared, there was only one last thought in his mind - it turned out that this was... Divine arm bow?

Naturally, he was not the only one who was hit by the wooden feather arrow.

In the blink of an eye, countless Di soldiers fell down from their horses. Some of them were still sitting on their horses, but the horses quickly turned around, turned around, turned left or right, and waited for their backs to be exposed. However, he had already fallen down on the horse's back, and it was only because of the wooden feather arrow that penetrated it and connected it with the shield that was placed on the horse's back that he could still remain the same.

All this happened so fast that Di Bing didn't even have time to react. When they finally issued a warning, their voices just came out of their mouths. The tone was often stuck in their throats. Some were suppressed by the sound of countless arrows flying, and some were even more so. The scene ahead was so scary that I couldn’t even scream——

Everyone was only worried about their comrades rushing in front of the formation. They had no time to think about those arrows that seemed to have missed Mu Yu.

At this time, the arrows flew into the air again, shooting forward. The shield at the front was shot through and destroyed, and then the next few layers had to change formations to protect the front, and one, two, and three divine arms were thrown together. Shoot out.

Several rounds of attacks were obviously carefully planned, and the attacker was familiar with the defensive habits of the Di Army. The frequency, direction, and distance of the arrows were exactly aimed at the Di Army's formation and change of formations. After several attacks, although all the shields could not be knocked down, Several gaps have been opened, and ordinary arrows are coming from behind, following them like a shadow. The force is slightly weaker at first, and then becomes stronger - the distance between the opposite side and one's side is getting closer and closer.

As time went by, the defensive gaps in the Di soldiers' shields became larger, the arrows on the opposite side became stronger, and they were protected by the divine arm bows, making it difficult for the Di soldiers to take the lead - just like the Di soldiers used catapults to fly stones when they attacked the city in the middle of the night. Suppress the Jin army's copycat.

At that time, the Jin army was unable to resist, and it was difficult for Di Bing to resist at this time. He tried his best to organize counterattacks several times, thinking of exchanging lives for opportunities, but was pushed back by countless flying arrows, which was impossible.

On the one hand, they were calculating mentally and unintentionally. On the other hand, they lost the opportunity and fought fiercely all night. They didn’t know what happened to their marshal and why he ordered to retreat. At this time, everyone was exhausted and worked hard, especially when they saw the endless arrows on the opposite side. There are countless wooden feather arrows, but I don't know where the divine arm bows come from, why there are so many, how many reinforcements are coming, and how their combat power is so terrifying.

In addition, the royal chariot of the Jin Dynasty came personally. The Di soldiers who were nearby were different from the Jin army guards on the city wall, so they could see the youngest among them with their own eyes.

The Di people did not know the emperor of Jin Dynasty and could not tell whether he was real or fake. However, when the royal chariot arrived and the curtain was opened to reveal the figure, the whole city of Jin troops and the reinforcements on the opposite side were filled with chicken blood. Its momentum is almost reaching the sky.

One side was strong, and the other side turned from strong to weak. In an instant, the situation that had already changed was completely reversed.

There was a confrontation on the battlefield outside the city, and the top of the city had a panoramic view.

Zhao Mingzhi could hear the sounds of fighting going on. No matter how clearly he could see clearly, he couldn't help but continue to look at the imperial chariot. Just as he was about to identify it carefully, the soldiers standing on the right quickly moved out of the way, and a man ran in quickly without caring. How to salute, he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty's chariot has arrived, and reinforcements are coming. The general felt that there might be a chance of fighting at this moment, so he called his subordinates to ask the princess for instructions." He wanted to report again, but Zhao Mingzhi immediately interrupted. : "I have asked you several times before. The general will decide according to the situation and have full authority. There is no need to come again."

After receiving this sentence, the man didn't hesitate at all and ran away almost as fast as he could. Not long after, he heard the sound of people gathering below and the sound of horse hooves.

The scene at the top of the city is completely different outside the city.

Faced with countless sharp arrows, Di Bing could only hold on. Because there was no order, the soldiers who had already sensed something was wrong retreated quickly. They wanted to distance themselves and then tried to shoot forward. They could not resist and could get some breathing space. There was a gap, and he had only retreated not far, but he heard the city gate that had been closed behind him suddenly open.

The sound was not loud, and the movement was very short. There was only a small gap, and two teams of cavalry rushed out from it.

The people who came did not do anything else. Some were carrying divine arm bows, or some were holding shields. Once they left the city, they ignored everything else and immediately formed a queue. When the order was sounded, a flying arrow was fired.

The attacks from the city gate were inferior in intensity and frequency to those from the front, and there were only a few divine arm bows. But behind the Di soldiers, there were only sporadic shields and little protection, especially at closer distances, all of which were ordinary arrows. Within the range of the arrow, it is impossible to dodge at this time, let alone counterattack, he has already been shot to pieces.

In this way, there was a rain of arrows in front and flying arrows behind. Di Bing, who was isolated in the middle, was attacked from two sides and could only wait for support from the rear.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no so-called support from the rear, and there was no opportunity for close combat between the two sides. There were only more arrows flying.

No matter how capable Di Bing is, he is still a human being. In a battle, he has no resistance in front and no shelter in the back. How can he not collapse after several battles with corpses all over the ground?

So the Di army, which had always been considered invincible in the Jin Dynasty, was actually divided into several pieces, dozens of pieces, or even hundreds of pieces with different soldiers and horses, divided and dismantled, I couldn't advance or retreat. I sprinted several times, but the arrows came back. I didn't have the slightest strength to fight back, so I could only be exhausted like this.

Once the situation was reversed, even though there were heavy casualties, the city seemed to come to life again, and its morale was boosted. The remaining people performed their duties, either cleaning the city walls, sorting arrows, or reorganizing the soldiers to guard the key points again. The men and horses were counted, and those who came to support again were really busy performing their duties.

For fear of injuring the reinforcements, neither the divine arm bow nor the eight-oxen crossbow on the city top could be used anymore.

Although he didn't know the real situation under the city, Zhao Mingzhi no longer hindered everyone here. He just looked at the imperial chariot from a distance and really didn't want to back away, so he stepped aside.

At this moment, the sky finally brightened, revealing the tragic scene on top of the city. Zhao Mingzhi couldn't bear to see him, so he looked into the distance again, pondered for a moment, and then went down to the city. Although he didn't know who the visitor was, he still had some inexplicable hope, because he didn't dare to say it clearly, for fear that he was just using his name to do it. He hurriedly sent people to report to the Kyoto government office, and then sent people to report to the inner court. Finally, he personally counted the logistics manpower, grain, water and other supplies. In addition to supplying the defenders, he also had to prepare new reinforcements.

In such a busy situation, everyone was milling around, but everyone showed excitement. Even the few palace servants who were slightly injured refused to rest on the spot. As long as they followed suit, they whispered to each other and asked: " Did your Majesty really come in person? Isn’t it the royal statue?”

Without the help of others to confirm, the red sun has risen at this time. Looking out from the top of the city, in the faint morning light, the imperial chariot is gradually moving forward among countless guards. At first, there are sporadic Di soldiers attacking, but later, the Di people have no time to take care of themselves. Letting the ceremonial guard attract the attention of countless people, he just walked towards the city gate.

As the imperial chariot walked along, the crowds of people in front of it moved out of the way like broken bamboos, and there were countless people surrounding it, cheering loudly.

The mountain's cry came from outside to inside, resounding throughout the capital once again.

Zhao Mingzhi had already descended the city wall at this time and could not see the scene outside, but he could hear countless shouts of longevity because under the city, he saw only a few groups of people surrounding the city gate and opening the city gate.

The city gate was different from being half-open before. Now it was fully open, and people and horses rushed out to clear the battlefield outside the city in a hurry.

For a moment, Zhao Mingzhi didn't know where he was or what happened. In a daze, he blurted out and wanted to ask someone, when he saw several messengers looking around not far away.

When those people saw the princess, their faces were full of joy, and they hurriedly rolled over. Three or four people shouted one after another: "Your Highness! Your Highness!"

Someone else shouted: "The general is asking where your highness is?"

"The general is looking for His Highness everywhere!"

Everyone spoke in different words and had different accents. For a while, "the thieves have retreated", "the Di thieves have retreated", "our army has won", "the Jin Dynasty has won" and other words one after another. Some even shouted: "The imperial chariot is here." Outside the city, please Your Highness to host the ceremony to welcome the Emperor!"

Seeing the excitement and excitement of the group of people, and hearing the meaning of their words, the civilians and soldiers below the city who were originally worried no longer had any doubts. In addition to following the mountain call, some even shouted and shed tears at the same time.

Under such a situation, no matter how much doubts he had in his heart, Zhao Mingzhi would not show any signs of it. He only encouraged everyone and whispered a few words to the messenger before moving forward on his own and walking out of the city gate.

Her actions caused the excited guards on the side to panic, and the first one hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, the fighting outside the city has not stopped at the moment. You might as well wait for a while, and then..."

Zhao Mingzhi shook his head and said: "If the current war situation continues again, even if I shrink into the inner court, how can I survive?"

As he was talking, he saw a group of people holding yellow flags and wearing yellow uniforms galloping in at the city gate. As soon as they entered the city gate, the first one reined in their horses and stopped, shouting to the nearest person. He said: "Where are the generals who defend the city? Your Majesty is here personally and is holding the formation outside the city. You will prepare early to welcome him into the city!"
