774 Killed with a single sword
The sound of cripping and clattering came from far and near......
Hundreds of defenders of Luoyang City rushed to hear the news.
Zhen Mingku's eyes once again ignited a raging killing intent, recognized the direction of Shan Xiongxin's escape, clenched the mutilated handle in his hand, jumped over, jumped off the roof of the house, rolled on the ground, defused the impact of the fall, stood up, and rushed towards Luoyang Palace.
Just as he was forcibly advancing, the defenders of Luoyang City, who had rushed to hear the news, came to him, looked at his rapid rushing figure, dismounted one after another, and carried out several powerful crossbows for siege, aiming at him.
They had already developed a fear of this terrible general of the Secret Guard, and they had already been defeated by him before they could engage him, and the general who led the team had to use the most powerful weapon at his disposal, the siege crossbow, and tried to shoot him before he could get close.
Whoosh whoosh -
The sound of crossbow bolts breaking through the air rang out.
Zhen Mingku, but he didn't slow down at all, he didn't move forward, but it was the defenders who stood in front of him a few hundred meters in front of him.
The generals of the defending army looked at the dozens of meters behind Zhen Mingku, and saw hundreds of dark guards holding specially aimed bows and crossbows, which were firing at the defenders who were blocking Zhen Mingku's front in turn, like wheels rolling, round after round.
There were no missed arrows, and all of them were killed with one arrow.
Cheng Yanjin shouted at the back at the same time: "Whoever dares to block the way of the general of the dark guard, kill him!" ”
At this time, Zhen Mingku, like an indestructible sharp knife, was inserted into the opponent's team, killing those defenders of the city to the ground. The generals of the defending army have long been heartbroken, and they can't care about any responsibilities, and they don't care about their subordinates. Ride your horse and turn around and run.
When the defenders of the city saw that the leaders had fled, they also threw away their armor, cried for their fathers and mothers, and fled in all directions.
Zhen Mingku's road was unimpeded, and after repelling more than a dozen teams of such city defense troops according to the gourd, Luoyang Palace was in sight.
At this moment, a team of people suddenly appeared in the distance. There are thousands of people, and the general who leads the team is one of the fierce generals under Wang Shichong. Yun Dingxing.
In Luoyang, this person's experience is legendary, but not many people know his past, he has been talented since childhood. Appreciated by Emperor Yang Jian of Sui. Appointed him as the head of the martial arts of the crown prince Yang Yong, and met the prince Yang Yong, and then in order to find a way to make his daughter charm Yang Yong, let Yang Yong snub the crown princess because of his pampering of his daughter, the crown princess died of heart disease, Yang Yong's mother Queen Dugu was furious when she learned about it. In Yang Jian's ears, there were many derogatory Yang Yong and elevated Yang Guang.
After Yang Yong was deposed. Yun Dingxing, as the prince's father-in-law, should have been implicated, but in order to show loyalty to Yang Guang, he proposed to Yang Guang to kill Yang Yong's sons through Yang Guang's favorite minister Yuwenshu, three of whom were his own grandsons.
After Yang Yong's family was wiped out, Yun Dingxing was heavily appointed by Yang Guang and promoted to the general of Zuotunwei, until Wang Shichong ascended the throne, he was always a banner in Luoyang City.
Despite this, he is firmly in this high position with real materials, and is deeply used by Wang Shichong.
In the officialdom, high-profile people will die, Yun Dingxing knows this well, so above the court, he is always inconspicuous, and he has never offended people, if he really offends someone, those people are either inexplicably poisoned to death at home every few days, or disappear for no reason.
In Luoyang City, no one knows his past, and although some of the old ministers in the court know a thing or two, they don't dare to say anything different about him.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been an official in the court, he would have had a few contacts in ordinary times, and Zhen Mingku would not have specially asked people to investigate these in detail, let alone know what a terrible character this Yun Dingxing was.
At this time, Yun Dingxing looked at him with a smile on his face, as if what had happened in the past few days was just a game for him, "General Zhen, you better go back, if you really want to do it, you definitely don't have any chance of winning, just rely on you dark guards, it's nothing more than sending you to death in vain, the old man sees that you are young, why do you end up like this for a woman?" You know, women are everywhere, but they only have one life. ”
Zhen Mingku's voice seemed to float up from the ground, gritting his teeth, and squeezing out only one word from between his teeth: "Get out!" ”
Yun Dingxing's old face changed, and he quickly returned to normal, smiled slightly, waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, and rode aside.
"Since the general of the dark guard is unwilling to listen to the old man's bitter persuasion, and the old man has no intention of stopping the general, sons, let all let the general of the dark guard pass."
The 1,000 Zuotun guards immediately moved out of the way to both sides, making way for a passage leading directly to the south gate of Luoyang Palace.
"General Zhen, please."
……
Of course, Yun Dingxing couldn't let Zhen Mingku's work go through like this.
As Zhen Ming walked past them with a bitter face, the team of a thousand people parted like a tidal wave, and then closed again, encircling him in the middle.
Cheng Yanjin was already ready, once Yun Dingxing made a move, the hundred crossbowmen behind him immediately fired crossbow arrows to get rid of those opponents who sneaked up on Zhen Mingku's back.
In this way, he can at least ensure that Zhen Mingku has no worries.
However, at this moment, Yun Dingxing suddenly waved his hand again, and a row of Zuotun guards with iron shields swarmed out from both sides, blocking between the soldiers of the Dark Guard and Zhen Mingku, erecting a shield wall, blocking the sight between the Dark Guard and the Zuotun Guard.
Cheng Biting Jin secretly screamed badly, and immediately made a decision, and shouted at the soldiers of the Dark Guard behind him: "Brothers, the time has come to fight to the death!" ”
"Wait a long time!" One hundred Dark Guard soldiers let out a heaven-shattering promise in unison, resounding in the sky in front of the south gate of Luoyang Palace.
……
Since the establishment of the Dark Guard, it has always been known for its flexibility and ease of attack and defense, just because Zhen Mingku has never cared about the momentary gains and losses of the position, and can be broken into pieces at any time, and can also infiltrate the enemy army at any time and assassinate the enemy leader.
It is precisely this flexible and mobile combat method that allows the mere 3,000 Dark Guards to win many battles and make the enemy fearful.
All of this is based on Zhen Ming's hard calm command and proper advance and retreat.
However, this time, he is not a general, he is just a husband who has just witnessed the tragic death of his beloved wife and daughter in front of him, a crazy avenger who has lost his anger and lost his mind.
At this time, in his heart, he just wanted to break the culprit who killed his wife and daughter into pieces, no matter who stood in front of him, he would split it in half alive and walk through the middle.
There are no tactics to speak of in a war, and there are no other skills and miracles except the advantage of fighting weapons, the number of people, and the excellence of training.
A real assault, without the slightest trick.
The Zuotun Guards did not have a prominent reputation in the Sixteenth Guard Army, and they were decent in battle, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, so basically like Yun Dingxing, they were obscure and low-key so low that they almost didn't feel their existence.
However, among the few operational guidelines in the Dark Guard, there is one that seems to be insignificant, and as a last resort, keep the well water from the river water with the Zuotun Guard.
The soldiers under the tumbler general, with the same characteristics as the tumbler general, cold-blooded and cruel, merciless to the enemy, and his own people are known for being ruthless, after the investigation of the secret guards of the secret guards, it was found that in the absence of war, the Zuotun Guards recruit 3,000 people into the Zuotun Guards every year, according to reason, 3,000 new people are added every year, and within a few years, the establishment has been exceeded, but the actual investigation found that the Zuotun Guards have always been maintained at a scale of about 10,000 people, only less and not more.
As for the three thousand recruits recruited every year, no one knows where they went, so they evaporated out of thin air, and when they learned such a big secret, Zhen Mingbitter was really a little furious with this Yun Dingxing.
After he came to this era, he has seen too many cold-blooded and inhumane deeds, such as in Luoyang Prison, in the underground prison cells set up by some powerful people, torture and extortion of confessions occur every day, and every day the powerful people are forced to destroy people in order to encroach on other people's land and property, but they are still at large.
But nothing could compare to the horror of the more than 3,000 Zuotun guards who died every year in training, chopped into meat sauce, ground into meat puree, and fed to the fish in the Luo River.
This is the Zuotun Guard, who survived under the cruel law of the jungle, and is the team of Wang Shichong, whom Zhen Mingku has feared so far.
He didn't know how much loyalty Yun Dingxing had to Wang Shichong, but he knew that in this Luoyang City, except for the Dark Guard, no Guardian Army could shake Yun Dingxing, including Wang Shichong.
In a way, Yun Dingxing is a tiger lurking behind Wang Shichong, a fox, and a fierce tiger without any weaknesses.
Zhen Mingku knew this very well, but he no longer had the idea of life and death at this time, and only had the urge to tear Shan Xiongxin and Wang Shichong to pieces.
……
More than 100 Dark Guards directly barred more than 1,000 Zuotun Guards, and the result was a stalemate, and both sides were defeated.
Relying on the advantage of weapons, the combination of arms, and the cooperation of crossbows and muskets, the Dark Guards were able to withstand the fierce impact of the Zuotun Guards round after round.
Those soldiers of the Zuotun Guards seemed to be pitbulls with no pain nerves, and they didn't care how many injuries they had on their bodies, and when their legs were broken, they crawled towards the Dark Guards with their hands, and when their hands and feet were broken, they bit the armor on the Dark Guards with his teeth.
The battle is fierce, and the hell of Ah Nose is nothing more than that.
Yun Dingxing's face did not change from beginning to end, he didn't care about the Dark Guard's attempt to break through the barrier at all, his eyes only stared at Zhen Mingku, who was caught in the encirclement of the Zuotun Guard.
Zhen Mingku's tenacity surprised him.
There were no less than ten large and small knife wounds on his body alone, and if it weren't for the strange silver armor to help block most of the damage, Zhen Mingku would have been cut into pulp by the Zuotun guards at this time.
However, Zhen Mingku's suffering is still moving forward step by step.
The corpses of dozens of Zuotun Guards were left along the way, all of whom were killed with a single sword. (To be continued......)
