Chapter 271

The sudden change in the square surprised everyone. No one thought how a good expedition would turn into a rebellion. If the appearance of those assassins before has made people feel incredible, then the rebellion of Zuo Wuwei is the reason why people are completely stupid and frightened.

The infantry of two thousand troops suddenly moved forward. Under the command of the general, 2000 feather arrows covered the point general's platform like a rainstorm. Their purpose was only one. That is to shoot the emperor sitting on the platform to death, while the assassins dressed up as ritual officials were just cannon fodder.

Because of the appearance of the assassins, Yu manlou did not hesitate to order the army to attack.

In this way, even if they killed the emperor, they would not curse. Because they could say that the assassin had killed the emperor, they would order the army to shoot the arrow. Although this is just an excuse to deceive yourself and others, it must exist when it is publicized.

The arrow cut through the sky and covered the sun.

But just when the arrow array of zuowuwei was taking shape, the arrow was released and shouted out. There was a sudden change on the other side of the commanding platform, and the emperor sitting on it suddenly disappeared!

Not only the emperor, but all the people standing on the commanding platform disappeared.

Including huaiqiugong and other important officials of the imperial court, including the eight guards of the emperor.

The point opened the plank on the stage suddenly, and the emperor and all the people on it jumped down. The golden melon warrior and the flying fish robe of the imperial guard around the commanding platform took out one side of the huge shield from under the commanding platform and quickly squatted down to protect the surrounding of the commanding platform, and the internal space under the commanding platform was immediately sealed.

Unfortunately, the soldiers of the forbidden army who didn't know anything about it. Although there were many assassins, most of them were innocent. At the moment when the arrow rain came, these forbidden troops howled helplessly, but they couldn't find a place to hide. After the first round of arrow rain, almost all the remaining 400 forbidden troops were shot over, and the injured fell to the ground and groaned helplessly. Even if the arrows of zuowuwei are fierce and dense, they can't break through the defense of the giant shield.

The emperor seemed to have expected this change long ago and left the mechanism when the Dianjiang platform was built.

Seeing this scene, General Yu manlou's face immediately changed. The pointing platform was built a few days ago. No one will go to see what's wrong with that platform. Yu manlou has observed the terrain countless times, but what he ignores is the platform.

The emperor entered the commanding general's platform, and the feather arrow could not hurt him at all.

Yu manlou thought that a shower of arrows could shoot the people on the stage into hedgehogs, but he didn't gain anything except that he overturned the more than 400 forbidden troops that the emperor no longer trusted. Even the people in the Imperial Guard Office, which seemed to have been abandoned by the emperor, were prepared in advance. It can be seen that the emperor had long expected today's situation.

Although Yu manlou was filled with fear, by this time he had no scruples.

Sitting on the white war horse, Yu manlou straightened his body. He looked solemn, as if he had returned to the battlefield many years ago. He once led the troops of the great Sui Dynasty for many times, without any defeat. His success comes from his awe and serious attitude towards war. He is used to seeing any war as a crisis of life and death.

Now, he has no way back.

"The archers fired three rounds in unison to clear the crowd around the commanding post."

He gave orders loudly: "the cavalry circuitously patrolled and blocked the street. Peng Laishun, rush over with your camp! Unless there is a tunnel under the commander's platform, I'll deal with you by military law! You go and dismantle the platform for me! Don't stay any of the people inside and kill them all!"

"Here!"

The tooth general Peng Laishun promised loudly, took the command flag from Yu manlou and ran to the front square: "kill it and dismantle the broken table for me!"

He shouted and took the lead in drawing out the horizontal knife.

One thousand and two hundred people in a Zhezhong camp immediately followed him. In the process of infantry attack, the square array became a swallow tail array. The dense long dog pointed forward, like a fallen steel jungle.

"Kill!"

Who in Penglai shouted, "glory and wealth are only today!"

"Treason... Someone is treason!"

The white haired old man's face changed greatly and fiercely pulled his wife: "run, this is a rebellion. Zuo Wuwei's men and horses are going to assassinate your majesty. Go home quickly and don't go out no matter what happens!"

The old lady with white hair took the old man's hand and said, "what about you? Go home with me!"

"I can't go!"

The old man's eyes stared at the team in the square: "I used to be a veteran of Zuo Wuwei and a soldier loyal to the emperor. Now Zuo Wuwei has rebelled, I can't watch them make mistakes."

"You are old!"

His wife begged, "let's go home. You're no longer a soldier."

The old man shook his head slowly and firmly: "as long as I have been a soldier for one day, I will be a soldier all my life. Although I am old, I can still kill thieves for my country! These rebellious officials and villains have ruined the reputation of my Zuo Wuwei. How can I sit idly by? If the emperor dies... The world of the Sui Dynasty will be in chaos."

"Don't go!"

His wife pulled his sleeve and begged, "come home with me."

The old man took his wife's hand away and shook his head: "go home and heat the wine and fry some small dishes for me. I have killed the enemy for my country countless times. I still bravely moved forward with three heads in my hand when I conquered the eastern Chu. Now if I escape at this time, I'm sorry for my glory!"

He resolutely shook off his wife's hand and strode to the square.

……

……

"There is man-made opposition!"

The people were boiling. They looked at the people of Zuo Wuwei in panic and were at a loss. Most people forgot to run away and looked at the square with fear. They never thought that there was an artificial rebellion in the rivers and mountains of the great Sui Dynasty. Especially in the imperial capital, some people dare to kill the king and seek rebellion!

At this time, they saw a white haired old man striding towards the square.

"Who's going to kill the thief with me?! if it's a man, say hello!"

Cried the old man with his bare hands.

No one responded. The people who heard the cry subconsciously looked at the people around them. I don't know who shouted for their lives first. The people immediately began to flee. The old man was stunned and his eyes were disappointed. But just when he thought everyone was going to run away, he found that most of the people who ran away were women, old people and children. Almost all the young people stayed. They hesitated, and no one took the first step.

The old man was about to wave to greet people when he suddenly found something wrong.

There are more than 100000 people around the square, three floors inside and three floors outside. It seems that we don't know how many people there are. After they reacted, although many people began to flee, many people stayed. And these people who stay are not just people who want to kill bandits like the old people.

Most of those who stayed began to take off their clothes.

Under the robe is the battle clothes of the great Sui Dynasty!

Army!

There are no less than 30000 troops hidden among the people!

Woo!

A distant and loud horn sounded. Immediately after that, people found that on the roof of a civilian house opposite the square, a general in silver armor waved a huge flag. With the sound of the horn and the waving of the general's flag, the people of the great Sui army dressed as ordinary people began to line up.

"Wai!"

A powerful cry floated over from the commanding platform. Although there were people's shouts in the square, this order was clearly heard by everyone. The soldiers around the square quickly lined up. Soon, a thousand person square of more than 20 1200 people gradually took shape. Surround the zuowuwei people and horses in the square. There is no shortage of people!

On the commanding general's stage, a senior general did not know when to stand up again. Dozens of soldiers held huge shields around him, and he also held a big flag, which was embroidered with a golden dragon representing the royal family of the Sui Dynasty. That was General Yang Shunhui of Zuo Yiwei, who had been sitting near the emperor before. He is a general and a member of the Yang family.

The sound of the horn pierced the sky, vigorous and far away.

More than 30000 troops, such as a suddenly rising dam, trapped the rebels of zuowuwei inside.

"Attack!"

The order sounded again, and the Zuo Yiwei who surrounded him immediately squeezed forward. The dense soldiers formed a thick wall and gradually narrowed the encirclement.

"Archer!"

His face was dignified, and there was a flash of despair in his eyes. Yu manlou shouted: "suppress the enemy, cavalry charge, tear a hole out for me! Peng Laishun, don't mind other things, continue to attack the platform!"

Zuo Wuwei's archers began to fight back like crazy. Zuo Yiwei, who lacked protective equipment, lost a lot at the beginning. When charging forward, a large number of soldiers were overturned by feather arrows, but they still maintained the formation. The dense feather arrows ruthlessly took the soldiers' lives, but they failed to stop Zuo Yiwei's forward pace.

When the distance gets closer, Zuo Wuwei's advantage begins to disappear. The left guard soldiers dressed up as common people only took two things that were easy to hide: a crossbow and a crossbow, without shields and hard bows. The crossbow can be packed in a package, and the crossbow can be hidden in clothes, but the shield and hard bow cannot be hidden. If zuowuwei had not rebelled, these zuowuwei soldiers pretending to be civilians would quietly retreat, as if they had not received orders. Perhaps the emperor wanted to give Yu manlou one last chance, or was not sure that he really dared to rebel, so he asked Zuo Yiwei's soldiers to dress up as common people.

The range of the crossbow can't compare with the hard bow, but once the distance is closer, the advantages of the crossbow will be shown.

The Wu Hou crossbow of the Sui Dynasty can shoot more than a dozen crossbows and arrows, which is far more lethal than the bow and arrow at a medium distance. When zuowuwei's Crossbow became powerful, zuowuwei soldiers lined up in a defensive array were torn off layer by layer. They are like wheat fallen by a sickle and can no longer straighten their backs. The advantage in number makes Zuo Yiwei closer and closer, while Zuo Wuwei has no way back.

If you want to kill, the only dependence is the cavalry of 3000 people!

"Hou Dehai!"

Yu manlou turned back and said, "take a thousand cavalry and kill out and pull the rest of the people and horses!"

"Here!"

Tooth general Hou Dehai turned and left, holding the command flag, divided a thousand cavalry and rushed out to the west of the square. The left guard soldiers gathered around this side immediately responded. The dense infantry formed a defensive formation. They pointed their long "long" to the front to deal with the light cavalry. The infantry of the big Sui Dynasty had very rich combat experience. Once the light cavalry fell into the infantry square and lost their speed advantage, they had to be slaughtered.

The situation was reversed in an instant. No one could understand Yu manlou's state of mind at this time.

When he saw that Hou Dehai's cavalry were trapped in a quagmire, he knew it was difficult to break out today. What he didn't know was that Xu Xiaogong, a general of Youyi Wei, had already led troops to surround the rest of his zuowuwei. Even if Hou Dehai went out with cavalry, he couldn't move a rescue soldier.

At this time, the flying fish robes of the golden melon warrior and the inner bodyguard suddenly let out the pointing platform facing the square. Under the huge commanding platform, the soldiers came out slowly with ten crossbows. On the crossbow, the heavy crossbow with thick and thin legs has been filled.

Seeing the crossbow, Peng Laishun, who led the troops to attack forward, suddenly felt cold in his heart.

Although there are not many crossbows, they are enough to destroy the already fragile military heart.

Yiqin Palace

Yang Yin's face became very ugly. He slowly put down his Qianliyan hand and murmured, "fourth brother... Unexpectedly, you prepared a big gift for me... But if you want to force me to admit defeat, you will underestimate me!"

He turned and said, "fire the horn and let Qin Liuqi take people to do it in the palace! Catch the queen Prince... Fourth brother, what else can you do?"

At this time, the gate of Prince Yiqin's house was smashed from the outside with a bang.

Among the flying boards, Luo Weiran, the boss's wife, the old cripple, Zhuo Buyi and two old people came in slowly. Behind them was a large group of bodyguards in flying fish robes!
