Chapter 1073

This sudden change in the situation, whether it was the tolerance to catch fast, or the officers and soldiers of Ruyangwei, they were all shocked.

When the fireball exploded, the officers and men two or three feet away from the fireball only felt a strong surge, and then the flames swept over like poisonous snakes, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers on horseback were swept into the flames.

The dozen officers and soldiers were on fire, and in a panic, they fell off their horses one after another. The war horse that lost the control of its master was swept by the flames, burning in unbearable pain, and it stumbled around, kicking the war horse next to it into a panic. In an instant, I saw dozens of war horses crashing into one place, and there was a great chaos in the courtyard.

After Zhang Caomu shot the rocket, the remaining dozen or so Tianlongmen disciples also shot the rockets one after another. These rockets were all fired at the back of the Ruyang Guards, and each rocket fell to the ground, and flames rose. In the blink of an eye, a huge wall of fire appeared behind the officers and soldiers and between the walls of the City God Temple. The flames rose a foot high, and the heat caused the mounts under the crotches of the officers and soldiers to retreat. After some horses were frightened, they kicked and bumped in the horse team, so that the officers and soldiers could no longer form a queue.

Xu Chengzong remembered that someone had just shot arrows from the main hall and shot dozens of lanterns one after another. At this time, I saw that the people of Tianlongmen shot rockets, which actually caused a fire. Only then did he realize that the lantern had already been filled with lamp oil and gunpowder. Just now, the enemy shot through the lantern, and the lamp oil and gunpowder hidden in the lantern flowed into the courtyard. After that, Old Lady Nie deliberately talked to himself, that is, after all the lamp oil and gunpowder fell into the courtyard, he would use rockets to ignite the fire and cause an explosion to eliminate himself and his officers and soldiers. He saw that in the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty officers and men were caught in the fire, screaming and falling under their horses. The remaining eighty or ninety officers and men were terrified, and some of them were thrown to the ground by the frightened horses, and were trampled to death by the iron hooves of the horses in an instant. Xu Chengzong was shocked and angry, and shouted repeatedly, asking the officers and soldiers not to panic. But by this time the courtyard had become a mess, and everyone knew that if they did not escape, they could only be burned to death by the fire, so that no one would listen to his orders. When several officers and soldiers saw that the road to the gate of the temple had been cut off by the fire, they immediately ran towards the corner gate leading to the backyard. When the rest of the officers and soldiers saw that someone had taken the lead in fleeing first, they also rode their horses and followed.

Xu Chengzong and the red-robed thin man wielded their long swords and hacked five officers and soldiers to death one after another, but they couldn't stop the fleeing people. In the blink of an eye, only Xu Chengzong and the red-robed thin man were left in the courtyard.

The thin man in the red robe saw that the situation was not good, and he couldn't care about Xu Chengzong, so he turned his horse's head and was about to run towards the corner gate. Old Lady Nie sneered, and said, "I want to leave now, but it's too late!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Caomu and more than a dozen Tianlongmen disciples flew up, and the long sword in his hand stabbed straight at the red-robed thin man.

Although the thin man in the red robe had practiced martial arts, his martial arts were only low, where was the opponent of the disciples of the Tianlong Sect? Not to mention that at this time, he was so frightened that he only wanted to escape, when he saw the disciples of the Tianlong Sect surrounding him, he knocked his legs hard and kicked the horse. The crotch mount was in pain, raised its head and hissed, and was about to run towards the corner gate. It's just that at this time, Zhang Caomu had already arrived in front of the red-robed thin man's horse, and with a wave of the long sword in his right hand, he immediately cut off the head of the red-robed thin man's mount. At this time, the war horse was already spreading its hooves and was about to rush forward. Suddenly, his head was cut off, and the horse's body slammed forward. The thin man in the red robe riding on the horse was not the slightest defense, and he also fell to the ground with the warhorse.

The red-robed thin man was shocked, but the incident happened suddenly, and he was so frightened that he was terrified. When he came to his senses, he was about to jump off his horse and flee on foot, but he was crushed by the headless war horse. The red-robed thin man only felt a sharp pain in his chest, thinking that his ribs had been broken by the corpse of the war horse, and he almost fainted in pain.

At this moment, more than a dozen Tianlongmen disciples had already rushed to the side of the dead horse, and more than a dozen long swords stabbed in a burst, stabbing the red-robed thin man alive under the corpse of the headless war horse.

Seeing this situation, Ji Dingzhong was surprised and happy in his heart, he never thought that Old Lady Nie had already laid out a clever plan and beat the other party to the ground in one fell swoop. He turned around, looked at the old lady Nie who was standing on the side indifferently, and said in a trembling voice: "Daddy's clever plan to annihilate these clowns in one fell swoop, the son is stupid, he didn't even notice it, and he took on the heart for most of the day in vain......"

When Ji Dingzhong said this, his heart suddenly sank, and he secretly thought that for more than ten years, Old Lady Nie rarely asked about the affairs of the Nie family, and all of them were left to himself. But for such a big matter today, Old Lady Nie didn't reveal half a point to himself. Could it be that his father was not at ease with himself and deliberately kept himself in the dark?

Thinking of this, Ji Dingzhong Ji Ling Ling shuddered, looked at Old Lady Nie's indifferent face, a chill rose from under his feet, and he couldn't say a word anymore.

When Zhang Caomu led the disciples of Tianlongmen to intercept the red-robed thin man, Cui Yanshou jumped up from the stone steps and pounced straight towards Xu Chengzong. Xu Chengzong was riding on a horse and was about to escape, but Cui Yanshou had already arrived in front of him. Xu Chengzong had no choice but to wave his sword to meet him. I saw that the long sword in Cui Yanshou's hand was like a poisonous snake, and he couldn't stop stabbing at Xu Chengzong's body. Xu Chengzong was condescending, and the sword light of the long sword in his hand skyrocketed, blocking all Cui Yanshou's long sword. Both of them shot extremely fast, and more than 20 moves had passed in an instant.

At this time, Zhang Caomu and the others had already killed the thin man in the red robe, and immediately rushed over again, surrounding Xu Chengzong in the middle. It's just that without Cui Yanshou's leader, Zhang Caomu and others didn't dare to step forward to attack.

The people in the main hall already knew that the Ruyang Wei Iron Cavalry, who was besieging the main hall, fled to the backyard, and there was no danger in the courtyard, so they immediately poured out of the main hall. When they saw that Xu Chengzong was the only one left, and was stopped and fought by Cui Yanshou, everyone was overjoyed. Liao Gang held a steel knife in his hand, and said loudly to the tolerance of the Luoyang prefect's yamen: "This gang of traitors killed the prefect, everyone side by side, cut these dog thieves with thousands of knives, and avenge the prefect!"

Seeing that Xu Chengzong and Cui Yanshou were fighting fiercely, they only had the ability to parry, and they had no power to fight back, which was the best opportunity to beat the water dogs. After listening to Liao's outline, he immediately shouted, waved the steel knife in his hand and threw himself at Xu Chengzong.

Xu Chengzong's martial arts are far inferior to Cui Yanshou, and after fighting more than 20 moves at this time, he is already completely at a disadvantage. Xu Chengzong wanted to escape several times, but Cui Yanshou had already prevented him from making this move, and the long sword in his hand attacked like a storm. Xu Chengzong could only barely block the long sword attacked by Cui Yanshou, how could he have time to escape? When Zhang Caomu led the disciples of Tianlongmen to surround him, Xu Chengzong's heart was cold, knowing that even if Cui Yanshou did not entangle himself, if he wanted to escape at this time, he would definitely not be able to break out of the encirclement of the disciples of Tianlongmen. He panicked, and his tricks were scattered. Cui Yanshou saw that it was cheap, and immediately straightened up, the long sword in his hand was like a poisonous snake, and stabbed at Xu Chengzong's vital point. Xu Chengzong desperately resisted, even in distress, the shot was a little slower, only to hear a "hiss" sound, and Cui Yanshou was hit by a sword in the left rib.

Xu Chengzong only felt a sharp pain under his left ribs, and couldn't help but snort in pain. He knew that it was a life-and-death moment at this time, so he bit his teeth, endured the severe pain of the wound, and clamped his legs between the horse's belly. The mount under his crotch was in pain, and with a long hiss, he rushed straight forward.

Cui Yanshou stabbed Xu Chengzong, feeling proud, secretly wanting to see how long you could last. Coldly guarding Xu Chengzong's horse, Cui Yanshou was a little on his right foot, his body was raised, and the volley attacked Xu Chengzong from the side. Zhang Caomu and the others saw that Xu Chengzong wanted to escape, so they also surrounded him from all sides. The long sword in his hand stabbed straight at Xu Chengzong's body.

I could only hear the sound of "sneering" constantly, and in an instant, Xu Chengzong didn't know how many swords he had been stabbed by the disciples of Tianlongmen. It's just that at this time, he was so crazy that he turned a blind eye to the long sword that stabbed him, and only cared about the horse rushing wildly. The disciples of Tianlongmen didn't expect Xu Chengzong to be so strong, and when they saw the war horse under his crotch rushing wildly, no one dared to stop him, so they had to flee one after another.

The direction of Xu Chengzong's galloping horse happened to be facing the main hall. At this time, Liao Xuan rushed down from the stone steps with the tolerance of the Luoyang Prefect's Yamen, wanting to take advantage of Xu Chengzong's siege by Tianlongmen to kill Xu Chengzong. The reason why everyone is so brave is that it is a small matter to avenge Han Qusi, the prefect of Luoyang, and it is a big deal to kill the criminals and get a reward. One by one, for fear of falling behind, they rushed straight towards Xu Chengzong. It's just that they never expected that Xu Chengzong would ignore the long swords of the disciples of Tianlongmen, desperately rushed out of the encirclement of Tianlongmen, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the tolerance of the Luoyang Prefect's Yamen.
