Section 575 Entering the city
.Chapter 575 Entering the city
Compared with the safety of the family, personal life and death seem insignificant. Sima Liang wanted to use the power of the family to fulfill his ambitions, but unfortunately the family had abandoned him when he didn't know. As the person who abandoned him, he was the uncle who usually treated him well, Sima Wenbo.
After seeing Sima Wenbo off, Ye Kaihuai asked Long Xingyun and said, "Xingyun, what do you think of that old Sima mean?"
"...Dying relatives for justice?" Long Xingyun asked tentatively.
"There is this possibility. There is also another possibility, saying that you don't put all the eggs in one basket."
"No way?"
"Hmph, those aristocratic families always have their hearts first and then the country. What's the point of sacrificing one or two people for the benefit of the family. This old man is so good at playing this trick. No matter who wins or loses, he is a winner. If I win, he will destroy his relatives for justice, and I can't cause trouble for him; if I lose, there is still Sima Liang on Long Shouyi's side. Anyway, he will be fine in the Sima family."
"Happy, what are you going to do?"
"...The future is long, let's just go and see."
Time slowly came to the time when Sima Liang and others agreed to take action. The private soldiers of various families hiding in the houses near the Xicheng Gate were conducting their last inspection of their preparations. The three major families will be all elite tonight, and the people sent out to lead the team are all backbone forces in the family. On the other hand, if they die tonight, the three major families will not recover within a hundred years.
"Brother Nangong, we are ready here. I wonder how you are preparing there?" Nangong Yu looked back at Dongfang Bo who was asking him, and nodded in conversation and said, "It's ready. Tonight is the critical moment to determine the rise and fall of our family."
"Okay, you two, don't talk about such a heavy topic. You said what kind of reward the family will give us when things are done tonight." A voice interrupted Nangong Yu's words.
"Ximen Tong, I advise you not to be too optimistic. You don't know how powerful Feng Yangjun is. It's a question whether we can defend the Xicheng Gate for half an hour just by just the 2,300 people we have pieced together. "Nangong Yu said angrily.
"Oh, although our army is pieced together, each of them has excellent martial arts skills and has no problem with defending for half an hour with the advantage of the territory. Nangong Yu, you must have confidence in yourself." Ximen Tong replied with a smile.
"I'll say less. After the plan begins, everyone will follow the agreement before, so don't make any mistakes. By the way, when is it now?" Dongfang Bo asked smoothly.
As soon as they finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the house. A low voice said, "Three young masters, the time has come." The three of them looked at each other and nodded and walked out of the room. The future of the family lies with them. They can only succeed in this action, not fail.
Under the night, black shadows were approaching on both sides of the streets of Xichengmen. The leader Dongfang Bo stopped at a corner less than 40 meters away from Xichengmen. He looked at it with a ginger. Just like the previous few days, there were four people at the top of the city and four people at the city, with a total of eight people responsible for standing guard.
"Let the archer prepare and do what we did before." Dongfang Bo whispered to his servants who followed him.
After a brief preparation, Dongfang Bo waved his raised hand down with force, and eight sharp arrows shot at the eight Fengyang soldiers who were still patrolling.
Punch, Punch, Punch... Eight Feng Yang soldiers fell to the ground in no particular order. Dongfang Bo couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Seeing that the opportunity was enough, Dongfang Bo immediately rushed to the west city gate. He was responsible for watching the city gate for the action tonight, and he had to quickly open the city gate through the city gate hole.
The city gate design of Luoxing City is not only the city gate, but also a suspension bridge is set up outside the city gate. It is usually put down and lifted up during wartime. Tonight's action, the three aristocratic families are divided into three parts, each aristocratic family is responsible for part, Dongfang Bo is responsible for opening the city gate, Ximen Tong is responsible for alerting, and Nangong Yu is responsible for lifting the suspension bridge and destroying the suspension bridge.
Everything went smoothly. After killing the guards, Dongfang Bo opened the city gate, Ximen Tong led people to guard the surroundings, but something went wrong at this time. The switch that pulled up the suspension bridge was destroyed, and the suspension bridge that had been pulled up could not be put down. If the suspension bridge was not put down, Long Shouyi's army outside the city could not be able to cross the moat. Long Shouyi's army could not cross the moat, which means that the actions of the three major families failed tonight, and the result of the failure was death. This was a result that Dongfang Bo and others could not accept.
The cables of the suspension bridge are made of iron, and ordinary swords can't be cut at all. The only way now is to repair the suspension bridge switch and put down the suspension bridge, but in a short while, where can I find someone who is proficient in repairing?
"Let's do it, you're waiting here. I'll go home and borrow my grandfather's iron knife. With that knife to help, cutting off the iron chain of the suspension bridge is easy to get rid of." Nangong Yu said to the other two.
"Okay, then you go back, don't delay the road." Dongfang Bo agreed with Nangong Yu's suggestion.
Nangong Yu went back to get the knife, and the remaining Dongfang Bo and Ximen Tong were not idle either. He led his men to build fortifications, hoping that if they were discovered later, they could hold on for a while.
Feng Yangjun's patrol was very responsible and never wasted. The defense fortifications of Dongfang Bo and Ximen Tong were only halfway through the construction of the Feng Yangjun's patrol appeared. And they found Dongfang Bo and others.
"Signal, formation defense." Seeing that it had been revealed, Dongfang Bo no longer hid and drew his sword and rushed towards Feng Yang's patrol. For a moment, sharp whistles came from the quiet night sky, and the battle started. Dongfang Bo also took advantage of this time to order people to signal outside the city.
When Long Shouyi, who was waiting outside the city, saw the signal, he immediately ordered the troops to leave excitedly and try to drive Feng Yang's army out of the city tonight. Tomorrow morning, he would have breakfast in the palace.
Wishes are beautiful, but they are somewhat difficult to realize them. When Long Shouyi rushed over with his army excitedly, they were facing a wide moat and a suspension bridge that was always hung. Of course, there were constant shouts of killing behind the city gate.
"Damn, what's going on?" Long Shouyi cursed. Sima Liang, who was beside him, hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, things may change, but if the city is not broken, when will it be broken? Taking advantage of Feng Yang's attention, he was attracted by the people in the city, and quickly let someone fill the river and attack the city." When Long Shouyi heard this, he immediately did not care about the current plan mistakes and ordered his soldiers to prepare to fill the river.
At this time in the city, Dongfang Bo and Ximen Tong stood with their backrests. "Why haven't that Nangong Yu come back yet?" Dongfang Bo said anxiously.
"The Nangong family's iron-killing sword is a magical weapon, and it is understandable to borrow it for a while." Ximen Tong comforted Dongfang Bo while resisting the attack of Feng Yang's army.
"I know. But if he doesn't come again, he will have to collect the body for us. It's a mistake. Unexpectedly, Feng Yang's combat power is far beyond our expectations. I have fought with Feng Yang's army before. These people are simply a group of life-deserving madmen." Dongfang Bo said a little depressed.
"Don't talk anymore, save some energy, and I don't know how long we will last. I heard something outside the city. It should be that Long Shouyi's army arrived, but unfortunately they were blocked by a suspension bridge."
"After you say this, I remember that Sima Liang is really cunning. We will do the hard work. He is the only one when we are in the end. This is too unfair. If I had known that I would have changed with him at the beginning, I would have been much more relaxed now."
"There is no regret medicine in this world, so you should complain less and try harder."
Nangong Yu was holding a sword in his hand and was rushing towards the Xicheng Gate. When he was still three hundred meters away from Lixi City Gate, his mount suddenly tripped by something and flew forward. Fortunately, Nangong Yu reacted quickly. When the mount leaned forward, he slammed the saddle and left the horse's back. The war horse fell heavily to the ground. He tried hard for several times but did not stand up. It seemed that his leg was broken. Seeing this, Nangong Yu cursed at the waste. Seeing that the Xicheng Gate was not far away, he no longer paid attention to his injured war horse and ran towards the Xicheng Gate on foot.
Before he could run a few steps, a team of soldiers blocked Nangong Yu's way. When they saw the soldiers, Nangong Yu knew that the matter had been exposed, so he didn't make a statement and pulled out the iron-cutting sword and stood in the same place with Feng Yangjun who was blocking the road. Relying on the sharpness of the iron-cutting sword, Nangong Yu rushed all the way, without a single enemy under his command. Until he rushed to a place more than twenty meters away from the Xicheng Gate, one of them blocked Nangong Yu's road with a dark iron stick in his hand. Seeing this, Nangong Yu didn't talk nonsense and swept across with a sword.
With a "clang" sound, the unfavorable iron-slashing sword was stopped. Nangong Yu was shocked when he saw this and quickly closed the sword to check it. He saw a slight crack on the iron-slashing sword in his hand, and there was a gap as big as a grain of rice.
"Bastard, what weapon are you holding?" Nangong Yu asked with heartache, staring at the big man who blocked his way.
"Oh, you said this. This is an iron rod made of black iron." The man raised the iron rod and introduced to Nangong Yu. Nangong Yu took a breath when he heard this. Black iron is the best material for making equipment. Which prodigal son would use black iron to make an iron rod as a weapon?
"You, put down your weapons and surrender, I can guarantee your personal life safety." The iron-stick man saw Nangong Yu stunned and said loudly to Nangong Yu.
"Don't think about it." Nangong Yu, who came back to his senses, replied immediately.
"That's so regretful. Death!" The iron-stick man rushed straight to Nangong Yu with a big stick and killed him. He was stopped by the guards beside Nangong Yu. "Young Master, please leave quickly, let us leave here." The leader of the guard shouted to Nangong Yu. Knowing that this was not the time to be polite, Nangong Yu nodded and stepped forward to rush towards the west gate.
After walking a few steps, another big man holding a black iron stick blocked Nangong Yu's way. Judging from his appearance, he looked eighty-slightly like the person who had stopped him before.
"stop!"
"Go to die!" Nangong Yuli shouted, raised his sword and chopped it. Seeing this, the iron stick man hurriedly raised his stick to greet him. Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu's move was just a false move. Seeing that the iron stick man was deceived, Nangong Yu immediately used all his strength to throw the iron-cut sword in his hand to Dongfang Bo not far away, and shouted: "It's important to do serious things."
When the iron stick man saw Nangong Yu, he immediately threw the dance stick at Nangong Yu in anger. Nangong Yu, who had lost the iron sword, could only pull out his sword to block it. Within a few strokes, the sword in his hand was smashed into two pieces by the iron stick man with a black iron stick. Seeing that Nangong Yu was about to die, Ximen Tong rushed over and rescued Nangong Yu who was in desperate situation.
He fought and retreated into the city gate. Before Nangong Yu could get to the west gate passage, he heard a loud bang. The iron chain that grabbed the suspension bridge was cut off by Dongfang Bo. The suspension bridge fell heavily to the ground. Long Shouyi's army could already use this route to attack Luoxing City.
Ye Kaihuai, who was hiding from a distance to watch the game, said with some depression: "Is it necessary to fight me so hard? I don't know how Li Sansi and the others are doing?"
"Kill in, capture Ye Kaihuai alive, reward one million gold and be awarded the general." Long Shouyi drew his sword and shouted loudly against his soldiers.
The heart-warming reward made Long Shouyi's army crazy, and they all stared at the red eyes and rushed towards the Xicheng Gate. Seeing this, the private soldiers of the aristocratic families hurriedly leaned aside to dodge. They were not accidentally injured by Long Shouyi's army who was crazy about money.
There was almost no decent resistance, and Long Shouyi's army rushed into Luoxing City. Zhang Jun, who was watching the battle next to Long Shouyi, could not help but wonder when he saw this, and said to Long Shouyi: "Your Majesty, things seem to be a little wrong. The plan tonight seems to be going well. With our understanding of Ye Kaihuai, Feng Yangjun under his command does not seem to be so easy to deal with."
After Zhang Jun reminded him, Long Shouyi suddenly remembered Feng Yangjun's previous performance and couldn't help but feel a little upset. Sima Liang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang's words are a bit exaggerated. Ye Kaihuai is also a human being, and there will inevitably be mistakes. They will not know about our unexpected plan. In my opinion, the reason why things went so smoothly tonight was entirely because of Your Majesty."
"Oh, it has something to do with me?" Long Shouyi asked curiously.
"Of course, Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor and the one who is favored by God. Although Ye Kaihuai had everything in his life before, no matter how powerful he was when he met someone favored by God, no matter how powerful he was, it would be useless. Your Majesty, now is a good time to defeat Ye Kaihuai. Please go there and don't miss it." Sima Liang said seriously.
"Defeat Ye Kaihuai and break his undefeated myth." This sentence is too powerful for Long Shouyi, especially when Sima Liang said that he was the true emperor, so Long Shouyi had absolutely no reason to fail.
"The whole army attacks, capture Ye Kaihuai alive." Long Shouyi ordered loudly.
After realizing it, Feng Yang's army finally took action. When Long Shouyi's army entered the city with more than 70%, teams of fully armed Feng Yang's army appeared on various traffic roads.
Looking down from the sky, a black torrent was colliding violently with a green torrent, causing bloody waves.
Ye Kaihuai, who had arrived behind Feng Yangjun, looked anxiously at the direction of Long Shouyi's military camp outside the city, looking forward to a signal of success there. Long Xingyun said from the side: "Kainhua, don't worry, Li Sansi and the others will not have any problems."
"Well, I know." Ye Kaihuai said, but the expression on his face was still not at all relaxed.
The fierce battle in the city continued. With more and more soldiers participating in the battle, Long Shouyi's army's offensive had been completely curbed. I hope that it would take not long before Feng Yang's army would launch a counterattack. Long Shouyi, who learned that the offensive was unfavorable, had to go to the front line of the battlefield in order to boost morale, and wanted to boost morale. Unexpectedly, Ye Kaihuai of Feng Yang's army was one step ahead of him, and was very mean to tell everyone before Long Shouyi appeared that Long Shouyi would definitely learn from him later.
Due to Ye Kaihuai's attack, Long Shouyi's personal visit to the front line was not very ideal, and the morale of the army was not aroused much. Instead, the opponent Feng Yangjun, with the arrival of Long Shouyi, their morale increased a lot. So much so that Long Shouyi once doubted whether he had come to the wrong camp.
Sima Liang was discussing with Dongfang Bo and others about what to do next? The battle between private soldiers from the three major aristocratic families can be said to be 70 or 80% of them survived, and everyone was injured. As for the private soldiers from those aristocratic families, all of them were killed, including the private soldiers of the Sima family.
Although the four of them wanted to take this opportunity to make another contribution, unfortunately they were powerless at this time. Without capital, they could not rely on the 100 people who survived. It was not just now, and they could use the cover of the terrain. Now they were just fighting in the field with Feng Yang's army. With the combat power of their private soldiers, they would probably fail if they could not even make a wave.
"Sima Liang, you have received the attention of Your Majesty. You can't cross the river and destroy the bridge and forget us. Why don't you recommend us to Your Majesty when Your Majesty is free now?" Ximen Tong said to Sima Liang.
"Of course, even if you don't say it, I plan so. I still hope to join forces with you to deal with that Zhang Jun."
"Zhang Jun, is the first person who is jealous of the virtuous?"
"Yes, it's him. I just heard of it before, but after I experienced it myself, he was simply the most jealous person. I said a few more words to Your Majesty, and he had the intention of killing me. If we want to make a name for ourselves in the future and be valued by Your Majesty, then Zhang Jun will be the most difficult we encounter." Sima Liang said with a groan.
"Is that serious?" Dongfang Bo asked in disbelief.
"The situation is even more serious than you think. Think about Zou You and Bai Wei, can't it be explained yet?"
"What are your plans?"
