No news is the best news.

Li Yan pondered this sentence in his heart, and it was really the truth when he thought about it. If there is really a big problem ahead, I am afraid that someone will have already retreated to protect his group and escape. The current situation can only show that the battle ahead is going relatively smoothly, and the enemy is simply unable to overcome the pass.

Thinking of this, my heart is relieved.

"Two days ago, I heard that the general has gone down to Wuxiang, Yangyuan, Licheng, at this time the army must have arrived in Luzhou, Luzhou and Huguan are already close at hand, I don't know when the general's soldiers and horses will arrive at Huguan" He seemed to be talking to himself, but his eyes were looking at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is a stump for the old woman, how can the old woman know about these major military affairs, Your Majesty might as well call Tian Shizhong to ask." ”

As he spoke, Tian Lingzi walked in from outside beamingly. Looking at Tian Lingzi with a helmet and armor, Li Yan couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, waiting, don't you also go to the city to fight?"

Tian Lingzi waved his hand again and again: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of the minister, the minister just went to the city to watch, it was really like arrows raining down, and human life was like mustard!" He raised his arm, pointed to some arrow marks on it, and said, "The minister is just watching from the side, and there are shield guards, isn't this still a few arrows." ”

Looking at the arrow marks on Tian Lingzi's armor leaves, Mrs. Wang, who had always been calm, also changed color. "Waiting, Qiao'er her"

"The General's wife is not comparable to my old fellow." Tian Lingzi's face showed admiration, "Wherever Madame goes, there is thunderous laughter, where there is high fighting spirit, the enemy wants to shoot her, but even Madame's fur is difficult to touch a single star, old lady, don't worry!" ”

Only then did Mrs. Wang relax: "She is always like this, she doesn't look like a woman." ”

"Mrs. Wang, this is a coincidental mistake, she is really quiet and moving. I think that when she first entered the palace to see me, her delicate and timid appearance made people feel pity when they saw it, and they could think that she would be a majestic female general! ”

"Wasn't it true that I was deceived by her appearance at the beginning" Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I made this family business for Ze'er." ”

At this, everyone in the courtyard laughed easily.

Outside the compound, people came and went, many young and even sturdy women, pushing carts and carrying burdens in the direction of the city pass, and there were also stretchers carried down from the pass, rushing across the streets, and heading towards the field hospital set up in the rear. Although it was getting late, the battle was getting more intense.

Hao jerked his head and pushed a wheelbarrow, and behind him, nineteen companions, either carrying burdens or sacks, followed closely behind him.

At the gate of the compound, more than a dozen guards held the handle of their knives and watched vigilantly at the crowd coming and going on the street.

There is no other better opportunity, Hao Meng took a deep breath, and stayed in the pass for half a day, those wounded soldiers who came down from the pass, as well as those people who transported supplies, said that the battle above the pass was vivid, in their mouths, the Xuanwu army was vulnerable, and the defenders were extremely heroic. Even though there is moisture here, it is certainly an indisputable fact that the Xuanwu army suffered heavy casualties.

General Zhu is using the lives of countless soldiers to attract the attention of the entire Guannai, in order to create an opportunity for himself to kill with one blow, and he can't hesitate any longer. Once the front can no longer support the pace of attack, a large number of soldiers above the moment will retreat to rest, and at that time, there will be no more chance for themselves.

He stopped the wheelbarrow and stopped at the gate of the compound.

As soon as he stopped, more than a dozen people behind him also stopped at the same time.

The street was not wide, and nearly twenty people stopped at the same time, which suddenly made the street a little blocked, and a guard at the door walked over with a frown, with an angry face on his face, and scolded Hao Meng.

"Hurry up, hurry up, do you know what kind of place this is" The officer held the horizontal knife at his waist in his hand, and his eyebrows were cold.

Hao Meng smiled, it was precisely because he knew what kind of place this was that Lao Tzu came.

He reached under the wheelbarrow covered with a piece of felt cloth, and when he pulled it out, he had an extra horizontal knife in one hand and a powerful crossbow in the other.

Stepping forward, the officer's wide-eyed, stunned expression stabbed him in the abdomen with ease, and then pushed him backwards into the door.

The rest of the guards at the door exclaimed in unison, and in the sound of choking, the sound of horizontal knives coming out of the sheath was endless.

But what swooped down on them was the crossbow machine raised by more than a dozen assassins at the same time.

In the midst of the snorting sound, several guards who rushed in front immediately fell to the ground.

"There are assassins!" The surviving guards, though angry, could not take a step back, and roared loudly as they marched forward, hoping to warn the other guards in the courtyard.

Hao Meng raised the officer in his hand and slammed it against the closed gate, and with a bang, the gate fell backwards, and Hao Meng took the knife and rushed forward. Fight with the other guards in the courtyard who heard the noise.

Although there are important people living in this compound, there are really not many guards. When the emperor came out of Chang'an, he also brought dozens of personal guards and a few eunuchs and palace maids, these people naturally have no problem in terms of loyalty, and when it comes to getting started, of course, they are also flukes, but the problem is that they are now encountering a group of battle-hardened outlaws, and more importantly, these outlaws have no intention of getting out of here alive today.

Once the two sides came into contact, the guards seemed to be more numerous, but they were still killed by these twenty assassins and retreated, people on both sides fell from time to time, but the guards fell more, and the assassins fell less, although the guards were trying their best to resist, but the battle was still rapidly approaching the direction of the inner courtyard, especially Hao Meng, who was at the head, was even more like a mad tiger, and several guards who stepped forward to resist were quickly killed, even if Hao Meng had several more wounds on his body because of this.

Blood-drenched, he looks even more terrifying.

Li Yan, Tian Lingzi, and Mrs. Wang, who were talking casually in the inner courtyard, were shocked by this sudden change and were at a loss.

A guard rushed in.

"There are assassins, there are assassins. Escort, escort! ”

The inner courtyard was in a panic, only the little cicada remained calm, and shouted: "Someone, escort." ”

In the inner courtyard, apart from these people, the only people left were eunuchs and women. With the shout of the little cicada, from the side room where Mrs. Wang was, dozens of women immediately poured out, all of them holding spears, and rushed to the emperor and others, under the command of the little cicada, lined up in three rows of military formations.

This is when Liu Ruyan was in Chang'an and had nothing to do, he bought some women and then trained them. The combat effectiveness of these people is naturally far inferior to Xiao Cicada, who has followed Liu Ruyan for many years, but they are also much stronger than ordinary people.

Xiao Cicada took the spear and six short spears from a woman's hand, and with one arm, he had already carried the six short spears on his back, stood on the steps, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Old lady, please enter the house with His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Mrs. Wang's face was pale, and she retreated to the house with the emperor and queen in her arms, Tian Lingzi stepped into the threshold with one foot, but retreated again, pulled out the horizontal knife at her waist, and stood side by side with the little cicada.

"Lift!" The little cicada pulled out a short spear from behind his back, held it in his hand, and shouted coquettishly.

The women did the same, and at the same time drew a short spear and carried it in their hands.

There was a bang, the door of the inner courtyard shattered again, and several guards flew upside down into the courtyard, some twisted on the ground a few times and did not move, while others struggled to stand up, raised their knives and roared and pounced again.

Outside the courtyard, about a dozen Assassins rushed in shouting.

"Cast!" The cicada shouted.

Dozens of short spears flew over at the same time.

The Assassins probably didn't expect that after almost completely annihilating the outer guards, there was still a decent military formation waiting for them in the inner courtyard. The spear flew in, knocking several Assassins and several heavily wounded guards to the ground in an instant.

"Cast!" The cicada drew a short spear again.

But Hao Meng, who is extremely experienced in the battlefield, never gave her this opportunity again.

As soon as he bent down and picked up a corpse from the ground, Hao Meng roared violently, and threw the corpse in the direction of the women's army, almost at the same time, the surviving assassins adopted the same strategy as Hao Meng.

These people are veterans, and they always make the most effective choices in the shortest possible time.

All of Xiao Cicada's military experience comes from following the army all the way from Chang'an to Huguan this time, and compared with these battlefield veterans, it is not half a star worse.

When several corpses flew over, the only correct choice for these female soldiers was to shoot forward, but at this moment, except for Xiao Cicada, the others were screaming and scattering to dodge.

And when these corpses flew over, Hao Meng and several of his surviving soldiers had already rushed forward with their knives.

One avoided, the other rushed forward, and suddenly there was a huge space in front of the door.

When there was a sound, the spear in Xiao Cicada's hand was blocked by the horizontal knife, and her wrist shook violently, she could no longer hold the spear, so she let go of the spear in her hand cleanly, and pulled out two short spears from her back with her backhand, and pounced on Hao Meng again.

The little cicada's quick reaction was also a big surprise to Hao Meng, and his forward pace had to stop.

And Tian Lingzi, who was at the door, originally seemed to be a little stupid, but at this moment, he didn't know where the courage came from, and he screamed and held the horizontal knife in both hands, and slashed down at Hao on the spot.
