Song Dynasty

Chapter 298 Battle Group
The fire in Prime Minister Zhong's false palace had already raged, completely engulfing the entire outer courtyard.The red flames rolled up, and under the intense heat, even the thick fog in the sky was scorched away.

The ground paved with bluestone was steaming, and the shoes on the feet were so hot that they were soft.

Sweat poured out of their bodies like a spring, and everyone was driven towards the backyard, intentionally or not, and squeezed together.

After all, it was Zhong Xiang's first-class elite. After the initial panic, the guard team finally restored some order.Dozens of enemy troops plus the officials on duty tonight from the puppet Chu Dynasty who had fled to the back had put on heavy armor and gathered in a group at the palace of Zhong Xiang in the back courtyard, resisting steadily.

They were all brainwashed into wild beasts by the cult teachings, and at the moment they were fighting Yue Yun, Niu Gao and others bravely.

The situation is so critical, all the guards and soldiers know that tonight may be more or less ominous.If you want to survive, you can only grit your teeth and persevere until the reinforcements arrive.By the light of the fire, they could already see that there were only about 20 enemies who raided the palace tonight.And there are tens of thousands of believers on this mountain, as long as there is one reinforcement, one charge can wipe out these blind heretics.

Thinking of this, they all gathered at Xiang Zhong's door with red eyes, fighting to the death with red eyes.

Similarly, Yue Yun and the others knew that they couldn't delay any longer.If Zhong Xiang cannot be taken down as soon as possible, the enemy will fight more and more. It doesn't matter if you die in battle. Thousands of brothers Pao Ze down the mountain are desperately launching a general attack, and they have to pay huge sacrifices every moment.

For a while, flesh and blood flew across the backyard, the sound of knives hitting armor and heavy weapons breaking bones was endless.But it was strange to say that there were no loud screams, and everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering.

It's a pity that Yue Yun and Niu Gao among the 20 are the strongest fighters in the Sizhou Army, and their martial arts are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.When the bone in Yue Yun's hand smashed down, no matter whether it hit the armor on the enemy's body or the iron helmet above his head, a large piece would be deflated without exception.Those in the middle all lay down limply in an instant, completely losing their resistance.

But Niu Gao's appearance was different, he had already put on the iron mace in his hand, and he pulled it out like a thick whip, making a sharp whistling in the air.Once the edge of the tile-faced mace falls on a person, it will be violently pulled, tearing your armor to pieces, and bringing out the blood gushing out of it.

As for the others, they were veteran officers of Chen Lanruo's cavalry army.These people have fought countless battles, so they naturally know how to deal with the enemy in the shortest possible time.

After killing more than ten people in one breath, Yue Yun, Niu Gao and the others seemed to be a huge battering ram and slammed forward one after another. Roll forward.

Gradually, the soldiers of Zhong Xiang's guard team couldn't hold on.

Suddenly, the door of Zhong Xiang's bedroom was suddenly opened.

About a dozen demon soldiers blocked the gate with strong crossbows in their hands, and pulled the hanging knives regardless of the situation in front of them.

Seeing a pair of crossbowmen suddenly approaching, Niu Gao, who rushed to the front, shrank his pupils and shouted: "God Arm Bow, be careful!"

"Answer" the loud voice of the machine sounded continuously.

The sharp divine arm crossbow shot at the human body, bringing up a piece of blood foam, and in a blink of an eye, there was no distinction between enemy and friend, and a group of soldiers fell on the stone steps under the eaves, piled up and fell.Facing a military weapon such as the divine arm bow, the iron armor on the soldiers is like paper.

Originally, weapons such as the divine arm bow were strictly controlled by the army.In the past, after the Great Song Field Army fought against the enemy, if the battle went wrong, they would destroy the weapon in order to prevent it from falling into the enemy's hands.

However, since Jingkang, half of the country of the Great Song Dynasty fell, and a large number of Song soldiers fled to the south of the Yangtze River, becoming thieves and bandits, and the magic arm bow also fell to the people.

Zhong Xiang has fought against the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty for a long time since the incident, and he has also won some, which was equipped into the teaching team.

Niu Gao was also lucky. Although he rushed to the front, he miraculously missed the shot.But the iron helmet on his head was hit by a feathered arrow, and a gap was instantly broken.His head became dizzy with a hum, and warm liquid flowed down his forehead and poured into his neck.

At this time, a tall figure rushed up and shouted: "Everyone, press up, press up!"

It was Yue Yun who made the roar, and he naturally knew that the reloading speed of the Divine Arm Bow was extremely slow.After each arrow is shot, the crossbowman needs to put the god arm bow on the ground, then step on the ring at the top, and use all his waist strength to wind it up again.

This short pause should be used to mix with the enemy, otherwise, once the enemy shoots again, all that is waiting for everyone is death.

In the round of shooting just now, three brothers Paoze had already stopped breathing, and Yue Yun's eyes were red with anger.After knocking down an enemy blocking the way, Gu Duo pounced on the enemy archer like a tiger, and cursed at the same time: "Niu Gao, Zhi Niang, have you been blinded by social shooting?"

Seeing Yue Yun's ferocious approach, the dozen or so crossbowmen took a step back at the same time.

Yue Yun had already rushed into the main hall of the bedroom.

But at this moment, his eyes went dark, and a square shield hit him like a mountain, and the smoke permeating the air instantly rolled back, fascinating his eyes.

Yue Yun couldn't see things, so he could only use all his strength to ruthlessly pull away the bones.

"Crack!" The wrist shook as if it was about to break, and a huge counter-shock force struck.Rao Yue Yun was as strong as a mad cow, so he retreated several steps in one breath.Until he retreated to the steps outside the door, he stepped on the wrong foot and fell backwards.

He screamed inwardly, he could feel that Shi Dun's strength was not weaker than his own.What's more, the enemy has the power of weapons, and he has no intention to calculate with his mind. He only has a handful of small bones in his hand, but he has suffered a dark loss.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Niu Gao, who had already snatched it, let out a thunderous roar.While pulling the iron mace forward with his right hand, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed Yue Yun.

"Peng" made another loud bang, and the iron mace hit the shield, repelling the incoming enemies.

With one bone, Yue Yun knocked down a sneak attacking guard soldier, hooked a big gun under his feet, and let out a long roar angrily.He has never suffered such a big loss in a battle with a human since he was dispatched, and the battle tonight has completely aroused the anger in his chest.

Only at this time did he see clearly that the man who attacked him with a shield was a fat man like a mountain of meat.

In his left hand was a tiger's head square tablet, and in his right hand was a broad-bladed sharp axe, all the way to kill Niu Gao.The eyes were surprised and angry: "Gu Tianhou, I didn't expect it to be you, such a traitor, do you want to kill the king? Say, does Yang Yao want to usurp the throne? I knew it since I made my son the crown prince. , the person surnamed Yang is dissatisfied. Zhiniang, this treacherous minister commanded all the soldiers and horses I taught. He has made great achievements and has long been disobedient. See if I will take down all of you rebellious officials and thieves today. Scratch the knife!"

Yue Yun, who had just stood still, took a breath of air: Zhong Xiang, it turns out that this fat man is Zhong Yaokou, and he has caught this big fish!
After being blocked by Niu Gao, the soldiers of the Sizhou Army who had been shot into confusion before gathered together again and fought with the enemy's guard team.

Niu Gao laughed loudly: "Zhiniang thief, that idiot surnamed Zhong, grandpa is not Gutian Houer, but a general Niu Gao under Jingbei North Road and Xiangyang North Road recruiting envoy Wang Daosi Xianggong. Zhong Xiang, my cheap brother-in-law Yang Yao has been recruited by Wang Xianggong, and now he has opened the switch to welcome our army up the mountain. If you are sensible, you can put down your weapons and surrender immediately, and maybe you can save your life. Otherwise, when my army arrives, the chickens will die Dogs don't stay!"

It seemed to him, what the hell is Marquis Gutian?In order to win over his soldiers, Zhong Xiang Yaokou likes to give big awards.According to Niu Gao's knowledge, there are only more than 30 people in the small Lianyun village, but there are more than [-] princes and a hundred princes.As for Bo, it reached an astonishing one thousand.

When the princes were first named, the thieves still knew how to use place names to feudalize.There are too many names, and they don't know where to find so many names, so they just pick them randomly.Uncle Loyalty, Uncle Courageous, Uncle Dare to Die... Uncle Dare to Die, Straight Mother and Thieves, they are just a grass-roots team playing tricks!
There are many officials and titles, and there is no real benefit, so everyone doesn't care.This thing is meaningless, and it is not as real as a piece of greasy bacon.

"Ah!" All the soldiers of the Protectorate Corps cried out in a low voice.

"My dear Yang Yao, I am really dissatisfied with the establishment of the crown prince. Today, I will chop up all of you rebels and feed them to the dogs. Kill, kill a traitor, and reward you with ten coins!" With a swing of the axe, an officer of the cavalry army was hacked up with his head and helmet in an instant, scattering white brains all over the sky.

Seeing Zhong Xiang being so brave, Niu Gao was also surprised.He just met Zhong Xiang once. At that time, this guy looked tired from drinking too much, yawned after he couldn't say a few words, and looked sleepy.Coupled with the fat body surnamed Zhong, he looks like a rice bug, waste, and a dung-making machine, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful at this moment.

On second thought, this is also understandable.Like him, Niu Gao, Zhong Xiang was also a local tycoon. He had built up his strength since he was a child, so his martial arts were naturally excellent.Otherwise, in the year of Jingkang, it is impossible for him and Yang Yao to gather a team of hundreds of people to go north to Kaifeng Qinwang.Without much ability, it is impossible to get so many heroes from the rivers and lakes to play for them.

He is a fat man, but as the saying goes, his body does not lose his strength. This kind of fat man who is as round as a bucket is much more difficult to deal with than an enemy covered in tendons.

It seems that I, Niu Gao, really underestimated Xiang Zhong.

Zhong Xiang was a greedy and lustful person, and most of the soldiers in the army made contributions, and most of them were awarded titles, but they refused to give out a penny.

Now that he promised an astronomical reward of ten qianqian, all the soldiers of the guard team turned red-eyed, screaming and fighting with Niu Gaoyueyun and the others again.
