Chapter 1297: Dawn Assassination (2)
When the assassins shot the first wave of arrows, Zhao Ziliang opened the mechanism on the carriage at the first time, this carriage is specially made, there is a steel plate in its wooden plank interlayer, as long as the mechanism is activated, the steel plate will pop out to cover the carriage around the carriage, the arrows are shot by the crossbow, in the short distance, the lethality of the repeater is very strong, the wooden board on the carriage is generally resisted, but there is a half-centimeter thick steel plate to block it is different.
The only exception for the arrows shot from around penetrated the carriage carriage was blocked by steel plates, and as the arrows came, the interior of the carriage kept making a dull jingling sound, Zhao Ziliang didn't seem to be affected in any way, he leaned on the carriage, holding a book in his hand and reading it with relish, and a glass lamp hung on the roof of the carriage emitted light, which was neither dim nor dazzling.
Outside, the Dragon Guard has been pinned down by the assassins who have appeared one after another, and the remaining half of the centaurs are still on guard, one by one, as if facing a great enemy, the biggest lethality of these assassins is that they have repeaters, and there is more than one, and the people holding the repeaters occupy favorable terrain in high places, and can form an overwhelming advantage over the people below.
These killer assassins are all people with special experience in killing, but these soldiers of the Dragon Guard are wearing armor to protect the weakest points of their bodies, and many of the killer assassins can kill people in the rivers and lakes or others with one blow, but they don't have much effect on these Dragon Guard soldiers, and their every attack is blocked by thick armor.
With melee attacks ineffective and ranged attacks suppressed, more and more Assassins flew down from the front and from the rooftops on both sides to join the battle group and fight with the Dragonguard soldiers, the clanging of weapons and the shouts of killing became louder and louder.
Just when the two sides were inseparable, noisy footsteps came out from the rear, and the dragon guards who stayed in place to guard Zhao Ziliang's royal carriage couldn't help but look to the rear, only to see two teams of heavily armed dragon guard soldiers holding weapons and running quickly to this side, obviously they found an abnormal situation and rushed to this side for reinforcements.
The soldiers of the Dragon Guard breathed a sigh of relief, and the cavalry officer beckoned to the two groups of Jinwuwei soldiers who were running over: "Hurry up, the regent is attacked by assassins, come and reinforce quickly!" ”
The leading Colonel Jin Wuwei immediately agreed: "Yes, General!" Kill! ”
The two teams of Jinwu guards came over with spears in their hands, and the dragon guard soldiers relaxed their vigilance, who knew that when these two teams of Jinwu guards ran over to him, they actually attacked the dragon guard soldiers with the weapons in their hands, and seven or eight unsuspecting dragon guard soldiers were stabbed to death in an instant.
"Bastards, they're not patrolling Jinwuwei soldiers, they're fakes!" The cavalry officer shouted in surprise and rage, and rushed forward with his swords and some soldiers on horseback to slash and slash.
"Damn, this time the assassins are really pervasive!" Liang Zhenwu was furious, and immediately commanded: "The first and second teams of cavalry will fight, and the others will defend in place!" ”
Although the soldiers who resisted the assassins were sent out, and the assassins who pretended to be Jinwuwei soldiers were also blocked, Liang Zhenwu found that the imperial car was surrounded in the middle, and although the assassins in front and on the left and right were smaller, these people were agile and kept moving and dodging, which made the Dragon Guard soldiers unable to take them for the time being, and the battle was a stalemate.
At this moment, a cold wind blew, so that the Dragon Guard soldiers who were defending in place couldn't help but shiver, and involuntarily looked in the direction where this strange cold wind blew, only to see a vague black shadow appear from the roof next to it, this black silver actually moved to the ground in an instant, and then instantly appeared inside the battle area between the two sides, and the two Dragon Guard soldiers who were in front of the front were swept by a cold light before they could react, and their bodies were broken into two and fell to the ground, but they were not dead at this time, and the screams came from far away.
Liang Zhenwu felt a huge threat, and he let out a loud roar: "Block him, block him, escort, escort!" ”
The Dragon Guard soldiers who stayed in place rushed over with weapons in their hands to block the front, but these people couldn't stop the black shadow that came over, the black shadow kept flashing, and every time it flashed, one or several Dragon Guard soldiers fell, and there were more and more corpses next to the carriage, but in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Guard soldiers who were blocking the carriage were killed and wounded, and even Liang Zhenwu was seriously injured, his armor was a special armor at the level of a general, and this armor saved his life, However, the armor was also cut by the black shadow's sharp sword, but his life-for-life also caused some damage to the other party, which reduced the black shadow assassin's dodge speed a lot.
The martial arts of a martial artist of Liang Zhenwu's level have surpassed the level of ordinary martial artists and reached the inhuman stage, but his skills are too shallow after all, and he is not the opponent of the black shadow assassin, the opponent's skills are too deep, and he can condense the sword qi into Jian Gang, and his weapons and armor are destroyed by the other party's Jian Gang.
"Escort, escort ······" Liang Zhenwu, who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, was still roaring, summoning the surrounding Dragon Guard soldiers to rush over for reinforcements.
But at this time, there were no longer any Dragon Guard soldiers next to the carriage, and the black shadow had already broken through the outer defense of the Dragon Guard and killed the inner defense circle of the personal guards.
"It's ······ Jian Gang? Hiss-" Pei Qian, the commander of the guards, saw that the sharp arrow in the black shadow's hand drew a white light every time he swung, and immediately gasped, this thing is only in legends, and it is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes. Even his grandfather Pei Min, known as the Sword Saint of the Tang Dynasty, did not reach this level.
"Follow me!" Pei Jian did not hesitate at all, this time was definitely not the time to be timid, he took his personal guards to meet him, but these personal guards who were first-class masters in the eyes of others couldn't make a move in front of this black shadow assassin one by one, and they were either dead or injured.
"Boy, your swordsmanship is good, but your skills are too shallow, it's a pity!" The Shadow Assassin let out a sneer.
None of the eighteen first-class assassins was the enemy of this person, and they all fell to the ground or were seriously injured or died, and there was only one Pei Jian left next to the carriage.
The sword in Pei Qian's hand drew out a sword qi and slashed at the black shadow assassin on the opposite side, after the black shadow assassin let out a sneer, his wrist was sharp, and the sharp arrow in his hand swung out like lightning, a sword gang like a substance slashed out, Jian Gang collided with the sword qi, the sword qi was directly knocked out and disappeared, and the sword gang was castrated, passing through Pei Qian's left arm, I saw that his left arm was broken in the middle, and a piece fell to the ground, and blood continued to spurt out from the arteries and blood vessels at the upper half of the cut.
"Uh-huh!" Pei Jian couldn't help but let out a muffled snort in pain, he saw the black shadow assassin rushing towards the carriage, and immediately stepped forward to block it, but a big foot hit him at a very fast speed, he only heard a bone cracking sound in his chest, and he felt that he flew up and fell heavily to the ground, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
After the black shadow assassin kicked Pei Jian away, the long sword in his hand swung from top to bottom, but at this time, the window of the carriage suddenly opened, and a blood-red war knife stabbed out from the car, as fast as lightning, the black shadow assassin didn't have time to send out a sword gang, so he could only immediately return to block, but the blood-red war knife leaned over and stuck to the black shadow assassin's sword, and the black shadow assassin only felt that his sword was entangled and could not be withdrawn, but was also taken away by the opponent's war knife.
The battle suddenly gave up the opponent's long sword and swept over, and the black shadow assassin instinctively raised his head to dodge, and saw the battle sweeping past the tip of his nose, and he only felt that his nose was burned, and he was so frightened that he retreated again and again.
The carriage door was opened, and Zhao Ziliang stepped down from the carriage with the battle, staring at the black shadow assassin and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”
The black shadow assassin steadied his body and snorted coldly: "Hmph, the one who killed you!" ”
Zhao Ziliang heard the difference in the other party's voice, this voice was a little old, but it was not a man or a woman, he immediately thought of something, and asked, "Peng Dahai, the owner of the Thousand Machines Building?" ”
Peng Dahai was quite surprised, he didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to guess his identity at the first time, "You······ How do you know it's an old man? ”
"Hmph, the clown who jumps off the beam dares to come and pick up the lonely tiger whiskers, he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!" Zhao Ziliang let out a loud shout, and the battle knife in his hand swung out, and a substantial huge and terrifying sword broke away from the blade and swept over with lightning speed.
Peng Dahai trembled with horror when he saw this huge terrible sword, he wanted to dodge, but he felt that he was bound by something and couldn't move. At the last moment, he immediately swung his knife and slashed out a knife gang to resist, and two blades, one large and one small, collided.
"Boom!" After the collision of two knives of different natures, there was a loud noise, like a huge piece of red-hot iron falling into a small puddle, and the water was instantly boiled and evaporated, rising a large amount of mist.
Peng Dahai's body was blown away by the explosion like a rag, and fell far to the ground, he wanted to stand up but was shocked by the explosion just now, and opened his mouth to spit out a bite of black blood, he felt that the pain was secondary, and the lower body was unconscious, and when he looked down, he saw that his two legs were broken from the root of his thigh, the wound was neat, and the broken place was constantly spurting blood, which was cut off by the remnants of the knife sent by Zhao Ziliang.
At this time, a Taoist priest and a monk suddenly appeared on Peng Dahai's side, one on the left and one on the right, one was playing a joke, and the other was clasping his hands together and said to Zhao Ziliang: "The poor Dao (poor monk) is too late to escort, please surrender to the king!" ”
Zhao Ziliang put the knife into the sheath and said to the two: "This Innate Realm Peak Realm assassin has already killed Lone's side, and you all have no reaction, do you want to watch Lone being assassinated and die, or are you simply not working hard?" ”
The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said: "The king forgives the sin, I don't know how many assassinations have been made against the king over the years, but there is no one who really gets on the table, and we have lost our vigilance by this long time, this is the first strong man to reach the innate realm to shoot at the king, we only knew that something was wrong when we noticed the fluctuations in this area, so we hurried over, but I didn't expect the king to have a shot to stabilize the situation!" This time it was my mistake, we discussed it, and in the future, we will take turns to guard the king every day, but I will appear in front of the world like this, and ask the king to arrange our identity! ”
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "You think it's quite beautiful, is it just that, how many loyal and brave people have you seen this eunuch kill?" ”
"Amitabha, I don't know what else the king wants? We will never refuse to say yes! ”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Lone hasn't thought about it yet, this is a record in advance, you just need to remember that you owe Lone a request, and when Lone thinks about it in the future, you must agree!" ”
