Chapter 149
On New Year's Eve, when the old year was broken and the new year was welcomed, firecrackers were heard everywhere in central Beijing, and the surrounding area was bustling.
And amidst this bustle, the rapid and heavy sound of horseshoes gradually approached the Princess Mansion, which also alarmed those who hadn't rested in the left and right mansions.A soldier came in to report: "Your Highness, the forbidden army is coming."
Zhong Shao turned to look at the Eldest Princess on the horseback, she seemed to ponder for a moment, before she opened her mouth: "Open the door of the mansion and prepare for the battle."
The eight hundred soldiers agreed in unison, their voices were neat and thick, and seemed to be infected with evil spirit tonight.And with this promise, the fight outside the princess mansion has become a foregone conclusion!
With a muffled sound of "Squeak", the originally closed gate of the Princess Mansion was suddenly opened, and the guards outside the gate just grabbed the reins, and were taken aback when they saw this.However, when the door of the mansion was opened, it was seen that there was a bright flame inside, and hundreds of armored soldiers rushed out without hesitation.
accident?It's not a surprise, because the eldest princess is not the kind of person who just sits and waits to die.
The one who led the army tonight was Yan Xu, who became a member of Zhongshushe after Xiao Qian ascended the throne, and he was standing behind a group of feather forests on horseback.He was not surprised when he saw the soldiers rushing out of the Princess Mansion's gate, but he raised his voice and said, "Princess Yingyang is in charge of the government, causing chaos in the court. Not punishing the court is not enough to stabilize the court. You can't wait for your subordinates, if you just let it go Weapons, His Majesty will definitely let the past go!"
There was no need for the eldest princess to reply, the captain who led the army snorted coldly, and said: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime. The new king is unkind and good at killing his parents. How can we kill him easily?! Erlang Ladies, fight out with me and fight a bloody path for His Highness!"
With this order, the soldiers of the Princess Mansion didn't hesitate at all, and bravely rushed to the forbidden army several times their own.
People collide with each other, and people fight each other.The sound of shouting and killing resounded through the entire street in an instant, and the mansions on the left and right were quiet, but anyone could guess how many pairs of eyes were watching all of this behind those closed mansion doors or high walls.
Zhong Shao has been by the eldest princess's side all the time, and when the two rushed out of the princess' mansion, the fight between the two sides had already begun.Because of the large gap in the number of people, the situation was almost one-sided, blood flowed all over the ground, and the soldiers of the Princess Mansion fell one by one.
Some people died, but no one retreated. Dozens of the most elite soldiers guarded around the eldest princess. Their eyes were red when they saw the fallen colleagues, but they gritted their teeth and did not rush over. Then the Eldest Princess shouted: "Your Highness, we will protect you to leave!"
The eldest princess didn't look at the bloody corpses all over the ground, she just gritted her teeth and followed the soldiers to leave without saying a word.
Because the gate of the Princess Mansion was opened early, the imperial army had not had time to encircle them. The soldiers avoided the place where the imperial army was concentrated and charged at the weak spot, but they managed to tear open a hole, allowing the eldest princess and her party to rush forward. out.
Naturally, it was impossible for the imperial guards to let them go, even if they escaped from this street, it would be difficult for them to escape from the capital, but if there was too much commotion, it would be difficult to end it.So Yan Xu's cold voice sounded from behind: "Let the arrow!"
The arrows of "Xuxiu" came through the air, there is no Zhan Pengfei here, no sword array of Fengyun Villa, and they don't even have many shields, so most of the time, only the bodies of the soldiers can block the arrows, and they are full of people. Bloody chest.
Everyone swung their knives back and slashed at the flying arrows, but some people still fell down after being hit by the arrows...
Finally, they rushed out of the street, but there were still more guards surrounding them!The resolute faces of the soldiers also showed a bit of despair, but still no one retreated, no one surrendered, and they still protected the eldest princess behind them.
Zhong Shao has been following behind the eldest princess, the soldiers protected them very well, and did not let a single forbidden soldier approach.Therefore, Zhong Shao's scimitar has not been unsheathed yet, but she has a bow in her hand, and there are dozens of quiver hanging on her saddle.
Her archery skills are very good, and her quiver is almost empty, and dozens of imperial troops died under her hands.But this number has no effect on the current situation. The oncoming imperial army is still like locusts, as if they can never be killed!
High-frequency bow archery is also extremely exhausting. Zhong Shao's archery was soft, but he stopped for a while.She turned her head to look at the Eldest Princess beside her, and saw that her face was still calm, but her hands holding the rein had turned white, and under the light of the fire, there was a slight reflection on her forehead—that was her body. Cold sweat from weakness.
It's impossible to go on like this, Zhong Shao knew very well that the eldest princess needs to rest now, her body has just been eroded by toxins, and now is the weakest time.If the delay continues, even if the soldiers of the princess mansion manage to break through, the eldest princess may fall off the horse at any time!
Raising his hand again, he shot an arrow, killing a forbidden soldier who was besieging the princess mansion, Zhong Shao raised his eyes impatiently and looked into the distance.It's a pity that the original place was in darkness, but the flames were burning nearby, and under the reflection were all the forbidden soldiers with swords and soldiers.
Finally, when all the arrows in the quiver were shot, Zhong Shao drew out the scimitar from his waist.She wanted to go forward to fight, but she didn't dare to leave the eldest princess's side. She was in a dilemma for a while, and she was also full of anxiety.It was Princess Dachang who spoke at this time, and she no longer held up her momentum when she spoke to Zhong Shao, and she was weak when she spoke: "I'm afraid that today's situation will never end, Ah Shao, you should go first if you can."
How dare Zhong Shao leave, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's not that moment yet, don't worry, A Niang..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard another shout of killing from the same place, Zhong Shao looked up, his eyes lit up, and then he shouted loudly: "Reinforcements are here, let's kill!"
The scene at the moment was chaotic, but the sound of shouting and killing from the original place was also heard by everyone. The two sides were each in shock, and they were all stunned when they heard this sentence.The Imperial Army couldn't imagine that the Princess Mansion would have any soldiers in the capital, and the soldiers also didn't know that they would have reinforcements, but in any case, this was good news for the soldiers, so the original exhaustion also changed. The momentum is like a rainbow.
Regardless of whether it fits or not, Zhong Shao drove the horse up to the side of the eldest princess's horse, and then lifted her onto his horse's back with a raised hand.Before the Eldest Princess could speak, she said: "If I leave A Niang and escape alone, Ah Mo will hate me for the rest of my life."
The eldest princess was silent, she didn't say anything after all, she also saw the fire burning in the same place, so she asked: "Your horse?"
Zhong Shao had already charged forward with his horse, and the eldest princess was placed behind her, holding her waist uncomfortably.Perhaps the situation was critical at the moment, but the other party didn't notice that her waist was too slender.Naturally, Zhong Shao didn't care about this, so she slashed at a forbidden soldier rushing up with her knife, and took the time to reply: "Yes, Mr. Wu went to look for them before."
The caravans from the Western Regions are actually guards, and a thousand people are a thousand troops, and even those stewards in the caravan can stab people with their knives.Because in front of those horse thieves and sand thieves, surrendering and begging for mercy will never save their lives. If they want to survive, they can only swing a knife.But this time, Xu Wenjin probably had expected it, and brought all the experts from the guards.
The Eldest Princess blinked her eyes, her weakness made her a little distracted, she forced herself to ask again: "Aren't you a caravan? These people dare to fight against the Imperial Army."
Zhong Shao's face was already stained with blood, but he smiled when he heard the words: "How many of those who dare to take the trade route in the Western Regions as guards are not desperadoes?"
They were indeed some desperadoes, none of the caravan guards was less bloody, and they were as brave as the soldiers from the Princess Mansion when fighting, and they were even better than the imperial guards.Because these soldiers in the Princess Mansion are carefully selected by the eldest princess from among the long-time fighters, she can have a limited number of personal soldiers, so she chooses all the best soldiers, and even if the forbidden soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped, they are few in the end. There is blood.
After this fight, the soldiers of the Princess Mansion and the caravan guards became more and more courageous in their killing, with a murderous aura all over their bodies, but on the other hand, the imperial army, which had a larger number and more sophisticated arrangements, gradually became a little terrified of being killed.
After some fighting, Zhong Shao finally brought the eldest princess and Wu Changjun and others together. She raised her eyes and found that the number of people in her caravan was at least half short—the capital had already been under martial law, and they crossed the street. Alley, and they rushed all the way to the vicinity-looking at the soldiers behind them, after 300 soldiers fighting for a quarter of an hour, there are less than [-] people!
Such a confluence is actually far from turning things around, and the situation is still not optimistic.
The two teams were staggered, Zhong Shao's side was followed by nearly a thousand forbidden soldiers, but Wu Changjun's side on the opposite side was noisy, but it seemed that there were not so many people chasing them.Zhong Shao raised his eyes and understood, this group of desperadoes were running all the way, throwing torches and shooting rockets at the mansions of dignitaries and dignitaries along the way, and now the street behind them was going to be on fire, it was already chaos Became one piece.
Wu Changjun didn't care about this, after they met, he waved his hand decisively and said: "Go to the east gate."
The guards of the caravan all had horses, and they came and went quickly. There were not many soldiers left in the Princess Mansion, and even those without horses rode decisively with others at this time.A group of people roared past, accompanied by the sound of "swoosh" arrows piercing the air and the muffled sound of someone falling from a horse from time to time. People died every moment, but they dared not stop for a moment, because if they stopped, they would die!
Suddenly, Zhong Shao heard the body of the eldest princess shake behind him, and then let out a muffled snort.Her complexion changed suddenly. She has experienced too many dangers, and she doesn't need to look back at this moment to know that the eldest princess must have been hit by an arrow!
Sure enough, the hands around her waist were released the next moment, Zhong Shao was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed them, and then grabbed the eldest princess who was about to fall with his backhand.She almost panicked and shouted: "Aniang, how are you doing?!"
Seeing so many people die for her, she would not be reconciled if the Eldest Princess died just like that.What's more, she was born noble, and she deserved to die noble and calm, not so embarrassing.So she raised her arm and tried to grab the corner of Zhong Shao's clothes to let herself cling back, her knuckles were white from too much force, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm fine, let's go."
The author has something to say:
Before parting, Grand Concubine Gui (looking at Zhong Shao): Leave Ying Yang behind, and you won’t have to come back
At this moment, Zhong Shao (panicked): I think I am definitely not my own, what should I do if I dare not see my mother
