Legends in Chu and Han - C285
Long Tianyu brought seven to eight hundred people to chase after the fleeing swordsmen. There was a horse farm on both sides of the hill; it turned out that Xianyang Street and the outer city were separated by a huge space, with a small mining site, a ranch, etc., to make weapons and provide a reserve for the city. Once the city was surrounded, it would be hard for the small city to resist it for a long time.
Qin Tang, you and Guard Captain Lian Mu will lead three hundred guards to attack from the front. Gu Songtao, Qiu Luo and the two of you bring two hundred guards to surround them from the left, the rest follow me from the right, cut off the path from the back, and we will move! “The guard said in a low voice. Long Tianyu took a good look at the terrain and direction of the horse farm, and immediately made his preparations for battle.
After Qin Tang, Gu Songtao, Lian Mu and the others received their orders, they immediately brought their men and rushed towards the pasture.
The rest of the Dragon Army elite stayed where they were and unsheathed their swords, staring at the farm with eyes filled with killing intent.
Yu Ziqi asked curiously: Why did they not ride their horses and leave when they escaped?
Long Tianyu thought for a while: “This group of swordsmen’s movements are strange, I don’t think it is as simple as we thought, it is most likely Zhao Cheng’s plan to attack from the east, attack from the west, and escape from the cicada’s shell. They are delaying the pursuers …”
A sharp whistle echoed out as close to a hundred cold arrows were shot out from the pasture towards the guards. The archers were screaming and screaming. It seems the swordsmen were prepared for a long time.
“Let’s go up with the crossbows and wait for the guards to close in.” Long Tianyu gave the absolute order.
More than 260 elites were mounted on the mounts of the imperial guards. One of them was holding a crossbow, while the other was holding a sword. All they had to do was wait for the order to rush forward.
By this time, more than a hundred of the guards had fallen to the ground, and the remaining two hundred had ridden their horses over the fence, rampaging about. Some of the guards had set fire to the houses, and some of the hidden assassins had also revealed themselves to assassinate the guards who had barged in.
The guards led by Gu Songtao and Qiu Luo from the left wing just happened to arrive as well. After joining the swordsman battle group, the entire grassland was in a frenzy.
“It’s time to make a move. Everyone, attack from the back of the houses on the right and use your crossbows to break through their defenses!”
“Yes sir!” More than two hundred elite warriors rushed out on their horses and charged into the pasture like a bolt of lightning.
Long Tianyu, Yu Ziqi, Zhang Yun, Ge Li and the others were first class swordsmen, leading all the agile and fearless warriors in the Dragon Army, their strength was at least equivalent to one to two thousand regular soldiers fighting strength, rushing into the group of assassins and displaying extraordinary lethality.
“Kill!”
There were three or four super assassins, with the rest being first-rate or second-rate assassins, and also dozens of third-rate assassins. Each one of them still showed no fear in the face of difficult circumstances, and could not help but admire their cold-blooded, reckless spirit, stubbornly waving their swords and fighting with the guards.
After Long Tianyu’s men joined the battle, they immediately surrounded the group of killers, cutting off their escape route. The elites of the Dragon Army could no longer hold back, and when they saw the assassin’s figure cleanly cut towards them, or with the cooperation of two or three people or with the cooperation of four or five people attacking them together, the right side of the blade that was trying to remove all resistance at lightning speed instantly turned into a corpse.
Sword light flashed, and in a single move, several second-rate swordsman s were slashed by Long Tianyu’s sword marks. They fell to the ground and spurted blood and died, Yu Ziqi, Xiahou Ying and the rest did not hold back, in an instant, their sword tips slashing through several of their skilled sword hands.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the grassland seemed to have been massacred. Hundreds of corpses littered the ground, the guards had lost nearly three hundred people, the dragon army had injured more than twenty people, and the assassins and the shepherds had been killed more than one hundred and eighty times. Although a lot of the palace guards had been killed, this group of assassins who had been able to completely exterminate them was considered as having completed their task, otherwise, if this group of assassins ran away, it would bring about a lot of trouble in the future.
It was easy to dodge the spear, but hard to defend against the arrow in secret. Ten thousand soldiers were not scary on the battlefield, but a hundred assassins appearing and disappearing was enough to give one a headache.
Qin Tang wiped off the blood on his sword, then walked in front of Long Tianyu, and said with disappointment: “I did not discover Zhao Cheng, these swordsmen are a group of outer net swordsmen that were left behind to guard Xianyang, they are not assassins of the inner net, I think Zhao Cheng has already escaped out of the city. Sigh, Mr. Rain, we have fallen into her trap.”
Long Tianyu smiled and said: “That may not be so. Qin Tang, Qiu Luo, the two of you bring dozens of people to General Wang Ling’s side to assist the imperial guards who were besieging the Zhao manor and Yan Le. Gu Songtao and the rest of the imperial guards rushed out of the western city gate with me, chasing after Zhao Cheng’s people.”
Gu Songtao was stunned on the spot, and asked: Mr. Rain, the west gate guards are fighting with the rapid aid division, and there is also the danger that the allied armies are eyeing them from outside the city. Furthermore, to the west is so big, the further we go west, the more rugged the road is, how can we accurately determine the direction they are heading towards?
Long Tianyu said indifferently: “Do you even need to guess? They would definitely not flee on foot, right? Therefore, there might be a horse farm or a relay station close to their exit, and if they send out their riders to investigate, they might not be unable to find any trace of them. Furthermore, the place they are going to is only the Northwest Chen Cang Guan, do you want to gamble again? ”
Gu Songtao was speechless while holding onto his sword, the guards all looked at each other, this’ Mr. Rain ‘was truly unfathomable.
Everyone rushed to the west gate, passing through a few streets on the way, not caring about the fierce battle on the street, and not caring about that side who had the upper hand, they rushed to the city gate. The guards there were already under the suppression of the rapid aid division, the Guard Captain Lian Mu took out a talisman bestowed by Zi Ying, and in the chaos, he ordered the reinforcements to open the gate, running out of the western gate.
Yi Yi and Long Tianyu rode together and asked: “Can you really stop Zhao Cheng? He has always been a cunning and mysterious person. She must have sent out all of the experts from the inner net to escape this time! ”
Long Tianyu smiled: I don’t think we need to do anything, Zhao Cheng is probably dead.
Xue Mengyi was even more confused. She really couldn’t think of who would set an ambush outside the city.
After more than two hundred miles, they found a lot of corpses on the entrance of a canyon in a dense jungle. These corpses were covered with arrows that looked like hedgehogs, not a single one of them was alive, and there were at least a hundred of them. They were all swordsmen.
“Ah?” He is an assassin from the black net … And it’s all from the internal net, who did it? ” Gu Songtao and the guards were extremely shocked as they looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Long Tianyu got off his horse, and shouted towards the forest around him: “Come out, it’s our turn to take the stage for the next good show.” With that said, countless figures stood up from the forest around, and at the same time, a large group of people rushed out from the canyon. The leading general was majestic and cold, it was Guan Ying.
“Master, Guan Ying has been waiting here under the order of the mistress.”
Long Tianyu nodded, he could not help but admire Wan’er’s godlike intelligence, and asked: “Where’s Zhao Cheng?”
Guan Ying lifted a head from the saddle and reported: “Zhao Cheng has already been shot to death by our random arrows, his head was cut off. The Mistress also said that after our twenty thousand elite riders entered the city, Northeast Yan, Zhao and Peng Yue, a total of thirty thousand troops, will attack and take over the Xianyang at any time!”
The expressions of Gu Songtao, Lian Mu and a few other guards changed drastically as they stared at Long Tianyu in surprise.
“Mr. Rain, you … You actually colluded with the rebel army and lied to the King of Qin? ” Chief Guard Lian Mu trembled as he asked.
Long Tianyu laughed loudly: “What a joke! To mourn my name and see who I am. ”
“Yu Tian Long? Dragon … Heavens … “Yu …” All of the guards suddenly felt their minds go blank as they broke out in a cold sweat. They did not expect him to be the leader of the rebel army, the invincible war general that terrified Qin Army!
Long Tianyu looked at the dumbstruck guards and said with a kind expression: “Relax, your character and skills are pretty good. I won’t hurt you guys, but I’ll have to trouble all of you for the time being. As he spoke, more than a hundred elite soldiers went forward to tie up the guards.
“Brave warrior Gu, are you willing to serve me, Long Tianyu, and fight your way back to Xianyang. To persuade General Wang Ling to submit to the loyal army, you will follow me into war and build a name for yourself in the future. You are smarter than those stupid and loyal Qin Dynasty who lost.” Long Tianyu had seen through heroes and after two days of interaction, seeing that Gu Songtao’s sword techniques and character were both good, he decided to recruit him for his own use.
Gu Songtao was a little surprised that he would be called and invited by Pei Gong, the leader of the Under Heaven Alliance. He suddenly felt that his status had skyrocketed and he had received an unprecedented amount of attention, and he was even treated as a guest in the general’s mansion. He was just a staff swordsman, how could he be as courteous and considerate as the general? My name is … are all willing to follow Pei Gong! ”
Long Tianyu’s incomparably handsome face carried a smile as he said: “Good, mount up. All my sons, listen to my orders, follow me into the Xianyang, and the chance to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Qin Dynasty has come ~ ~”
