Chapter 148: Glory

After this obstacle, the Qin rebels were forced to stop the cavalry. The formation that was bound by the streets and alleys of Kyoto could not help but panic. However, at this moment, several loud shouts in the army were heard, and at the first moment, they issued a clear and powerful order to stabilize the Pioneer Camp.

Immediately afterwards, the shield-holding soldiers caught up from behind, stepped on the pool of blood on the long street, and bravely broke through the wooden doors of the houses on both sides of the street, and rushed into the dark space. For a moment, the streets were filled with shouts of killing, but they could not see the real situation of the fight.

With a bang, a big hole was broken into a private house, and a blood-covered rebel was stabbed to death by someone and fell out. At this time, in those private houses, there were still many soldiers fighting with the subordinates of the Supervision Bureau who were ambushing here.

The rebels were disciplined in strict discipline. When Qin Heng gave a cold order, he counterattacked on both sides of the street at the cost of the large-scale consumption of soldiers' lives, the crossbow rain that hit the surroundings naturally became weaker.

A shiny knife flashed by, dozens of sinister tripping ropes on the bluestone slabs on the street were cut off neatly. These black leather ropes were like poisonous snakes whose heads were cut off, and weakly limply on the ground, while the poisonous needles with metallic luster on them were like crystal liquid on the snake's skin.

Qin Heng rode on a horse, stared at the front under the military flag, suddenly took the horse whip in his hand, and waved it down vigorously.

A fierce general beside him groaned, held a spear and shouted loudly: "Kill!" He clamped his horse's belly with his feet and rushed into the long street again. For a moment, he could only smell the horse's hooves rolled up like wind and thunder, with awesome momentum.

At this time, there were still screams on the long street, there were still sounds of blades falling into the bones in the houses, and the sound of bodies falling to the ground. However, it was extremely difficult to see the figures of the supervisory authority's subordinates. They only knew that these people were doing murder in the houses next to the street.

Gradually, blood oozed out from under the wooden door.

The fierce general of the Qin family's Pioneer Camp turned a blind eye. He led his subordinates to sprint on the long street. He saw this man stabbing out a spear, shaking a gust of wind, and stabbing into a wooden door next to the horse with a crack!

With a shocking shout, the general picked up the gun and saw a man in black carrying a spear, and blood dripped from the gun, and the tip of the gun pierced the chest and abdomen of the inspector's spy!

The general under the armor groaned, shook his arm and threw the body on the tip of the gun out like a paper bag.

He took the lead and stepped over the pool of blood on the street again, galloping again, and the black spear in his hand was made of steel. It was powerful and the gun was perfect. He actually picked up five wooden doors along the street and killed several people in a row.

Qin Heng looked coldly at his first general behind. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the entire army to press forward one by one, preparing to use powerful troops to directly suppress the snipers of the Supervision Bureau on both sides of the street. Although nearly 200 soldiers were damaged in the first day of the first day of the New Year, Qin Heng's mind still did not tremble at all. He never thought that the Supervision Bureau's dark means could directly prevent a large army from moving forward.

An official from the Supervision Bureau showed up on the front stairs in front of the left hand. He aimed at the general through the window. Unexpectedly, before he could pick the trigger, a feather arrow shot into his eye socket. The official groaned and fell downstairs.

Immediately afterwards, he cried and followed the vanguard general, dozens of personal soldiers galloping on the street holding light bows in their hands, and shot arrows from left to right.

Many arrow holes suddenly appeared on the small buildings on both sides of the street. The subordinates of the Supervision Institute were ambushed and were being shot with crossbows and fell down one after another. The three major forces in the world were the strongest of the cavalry and shooting of the Qing army. At this time, they rode a horse in the long street, holding a hard bow in their hands. In an instant, the crossbowmen in the Supervision Institute did not dare to show their appearance!

Even if there were occasional crossbow arrows on both sides, they seemed to have no accurate head. When they shot heavy armor on the general's body, they could not penetrate deep into his body, but they only had some blood flowers blooming.

In just a moment, the Qin general had already rushed out with the Pioneer Battalion for about a hundred feet, and behind him was the mighty cavalry itself. Seeing that there was an open land in front of him, there was no more power to rush straight to the palace.

At this moment, a shrill arrow sounded on the long street, and all the windows of the houses on both sides of the street were closed. Although the fighting in the house continued, the calmness and extremely strange peace were restored on the long street.

The general's face was covered in blood and evil spirits. He shook his spear behind him, and stabbed the street entrance like a mountain axe. Although he noticed the strange phenomena on both sides of the street, he did not have any palpitations at all. At this time, the sudden situation was achieved. How could the ghost domain tricks of the Supervision Bureau stop the army from moving forward?

"Rat." He thought contemptuously.

"Rats." Qin Heng led the army to press over the long street, looking coldly at the quiet long street, thinking slightly that the Supervisory Office was still shy.

At this moment, after the arrow returned to the calm street, a command suddenly sounded, with only one word on this command.

"Waiting!"

The word "时" is extremely simple, clean and neat, but it contains endless murderous intent. Qin Heng's pupils shrank slightly and his eyebrows raised.

The rebels pulled their bows, and countless arrows shot out, stabbing the place where the order was issued. It was like rain hitting the city. The wooden building was shot through countless holes, and the long arrow broke through the wind. Only a faint groan was heard, and the official of the Supervision Bureau who issued the order was already dead.

However, immediately afterwards, there was only the sound of horse hooves, muffled killing sounds, and the sound of arrow feathers breaking through the air, and the order sounded again: "Hou!"

Qin Heng's face became gloomy and ran on the long street with reins. He didn't know what the voice of the Supervisory Office meant. He could have chosen to divide his troops at this time and bypassed this long street with heavy ambushed by the Supervisory Office, and could choose a more secure way. However, the military orders were like mountains. Since his father ordered him to be the first to arrive at the palace, he had to maintain speed, even if... he had to pay a greater price.

So he waved his whip suddenly, and thousands of rebels on the long street shouted in unison: "Kill!" Like a flood, the rebel brigade with light armor was covered in the empty and dangerous long street.

The vanguard general who had long spear in his hand and no one dared to stop him had led dozens of personal cavalry behind him and broke to the end of the long street. The Zhengyang Gate behind him was shining under the rising sun. The vast area in front of him was attracting him. The palace was still waiting for him to attack, so he was full of pride and brave...

However, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves like thunder. Then he saw more than two hundred cavalrymen suddenly appeared at the end of the empty street. These cavalrymen appeared here at some time, wearing bright armor and holding long swords, waiting silently and coldly for the arrival of the rebels.

Beside these cavalry, there were more than ten scattered corpses, which were the more than ten cavalry scouts that the Qin rebels scattered out. Not only were the scouts dead, but even the war horses fell to the ground.

The vanguard of the Qin family shrank his eyes. He knew that these cavalry were hard hands, otherwise it would be impossible for him to slaughter more than ten cavalry under his jurisdiction, but he did not make any sound.

It's an imperial guard!

At this time, the vanguard could no longer stop. The vanguard held the iron spear in his hand tightly. The roughness and coldness of the gun rod made him feel infinite confidence, and then he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed towards the imperial guards with dozens of cavalry behind him!

The imperial guard general was covered in armor, with only one pair of eyes exposed. There was no difference in these eyes at this time, only calmness, indifference and determination, indifference to his own life, and determination to complete the commander's assignment.

He raised the saber in his hand high, and the blade shone with a bright light, which made people shudder. With a clamp on the horse's belly, the war horse under him struggled suddenly, and bounced out like a stringed arrow.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed forward with the courage to move forward, like two torrents of different colors, and were about to collide head-on!

At this moment, on the long street that had just been quiet for a moment, a command from the Inspectorate suddenly sounded again - "Release!"

The vanguard of the Qin family was red in his eyes. He looked at the imperial cavalry rushing towards him at high speed. He shouted loudly, and the horses suddenly accelerated. He was about to rush out of the street, but suddenly heard the sound.

He was so ruthless, without any panic or slowdown. He didn't care about these rats in the Supervision Bureau at all. He cared about these very powerful imperial guards in the front. He had to open a bloody road for the general and a bloody road to the palace.

A black shadow threw it out of the house next to the street and appeared in mid-air in front of the pioneer general's horse head.

The fierce general raised his elbow and flashed his spear, and hissing several times. The black shadow was torn apart, the fabric flew around, and the powder mixed inside was swept into the air. A little spilled on the general's ground, but most of it spilled on the horse.

He closed his breath, his eyes turned blood red. He knew that the Supervision Bureau was using poison very much, but he was not afraid at all. As long as the poison could not enter his heart for a while, he could kill the imperial guards who were getting closer and closer to him. He was worried about the horse's tail, and he hit the tail of the gun hard on the horse's buttocks. The horse was frightened and accelerated again!

Thud and thud, a series of sounds of spring machines sounded, and crossbow arrows arrived again on the quiet street for a long time. The Qin family pioneer snorted coldly, and swept his spear to protect his vitals and horse head. A rifle of gunfire was blowing out, and countless crossbow arrows were pulled to the ground by him. Occasionally, a few crossbow arrows shot into his armor, and a crisp sound was jingling and fell to the ground without any force.

However... the general suddenly discovered that there were a few touches of unlucky red in the crossbow rain.

red?

fire?

With a sneer, three crossbow arrows shot at the heavy armor and horse head of the vanguard. The crossbow arrows were tied with fire cotton and burned flames. They were not conspicuous in the red sun, but... they were particularly fatal.

As soon as the flame touched the powder on the heavy armor, it started to burn with a sudden sound. From the horse's head to the heavy armor and then to the helmet, the flame spread in an instant. In just a blink of an eye, the fire burned wildly, covering the vanguard in the flame!

A tragic shout came out of the flames. At this time, the vanguard who was invincible was still in charge, and his man had become a burning torch!

He roared in horror, threw away the gun in his hand and tried to put out the fire on his body. However, this had become something he could never do. The fire set by the Supervision Bureau was not so easy to extinguish. He knew that he was finished and was extremely scared in his heart.

The horse was in great pain and ran wildly. The horse, which was shrouded in flames, rushed to the front of the imperial guards' front line in terrifyingly.

The imperial guard general looked at the fire man running indifferently and slightly mocked. When the two cavalry crossed, they waved their long sword with a shiny sound, and the knife came out silently, passing through the fire, cutting off the head of the general.

With a click, the head broke, tied with a neck armor, burning in the flames.

The horse with fire rushes to the ground with a headless owner. With his headless owner, he crashed into a wall of alley beside the street. With a heavy and muffled sound, the horse and the people fell to the ground, neighing in a miserable way.

No one went to see them. The Imperial Army Armour, which had only more than 200 cavalry, was maintaining extremely high speed at this time, crossing the corpses of the rebel vanguards who were shot into honeycombs and burned into charcoal. He rushed towards the central army where Qin Heng was!

Qin Heng didn't know what kind of shameless and sinister murder he had suffered from his most respected confidant vanguard. He heard the second call from the Supervision Bureau, he had ordered his army to start pressing towards both sides of the long street, because the Supervision Bureau's second offensive had begun.

After a long silence, after those two cold waiting orders, the crossbow rain was even stronger at the rebels, and more were aiming at the middle abdomen where the military flag was located, especially the personal military camp where Qin Heng was located.

"It's a crossbow!" Finally, a rebel cavalry shouted out timidly. A crossbow arrow roared through the wind. The shout seemed particularly thrilling. A series of densely striking sounds sounded, and a crossbow arrow was blocked. What about the second and third branches?

More than ten personal soldiers bravely blocked Qin Heng's horse, with only elbow shields in their hands, which were not enough to resist such dense and fast crossbow arrows. They used their bodies and the tall body of the war horse to make a flesh shield for Qin Heng.

The long street was full of people and horses, and the terror was neighing and tragic. Many rebels had crossbow arrows on their faces, and blood and sweat were mixed together, and they were in a hurry everywhere.

In just a moment, most of the personal soldiers around Qin Heng died. Qin Heng knew that the target of the Supervision Bureau was himself. His face was covered in blood and his face looked particularly ferocious. It was not until this moment that he finally confirmed that Fan Xian asked the Supervision Bureau to ambush under Zhengyang Sect, not just to block and delay time, but to fight for his life... to leave his life here!

Although he didn't know why Fan Xian valued his life so much, he was not afraid. He just saw the initial calm and the sound of crossbows was loud. His subordinates bravely and helplessly fought against the poisonous powder crossbows. A trace of blue veins appeared on his temples, and anger filled his chest. These rats would only use these incompetent means. Do they dare to trap themselves?

He pulled out the long sword on his waist, grabbed the horse's belly, and the horse jumped like a dragon, jumped out of the crossbow arrow, shouting loudly: "For the sake of Qingguo, kill!"

The main general began to brave the battle, and the rebels were very excited. They shouted in unison and rushed into the depths of both sides of the street in the rain of crossbows, using their bodies and lives to suppress the second wave of the Supervision Bureau's offensive a little.

After all, the rebels are numerous and powerful. As long as they can contact the officials of the Supervision Office hidden in the dark, they will naturally win the final victory.

However, at this moment, the imperial guards on the other side of the street had rushed over. There were only more than 200 cavalry, but they were like two thousand cavalry rumbling and murderous intent, and they were unstoppable!

Like a torrent, it rushed into the Qin family army, whose formation had been forced to disperse. Both sides were armoured and blades were in their hands, and the murderous intent was boiling. Although the formation of the Qin family army was a bit messy, it was on the not-so-wide long street, which was a direct collision with no way out.

The two cavalrymen who were moving forward at high speed had their first frontal collision on the long street under Zhengyang Gate. They smashed each other like two big hammers, making loud noises that made countless people's eardrums hurt and extremely fearful.

In an instant, countless iron cavalry were caught and trampled on. The people on the horse were picked, squeezed, hacked, and shocked.

Knives and guns collided, iron armor collided, and momentum collided.

Qin Heng looked at this scene with a pale face, thinking to himself how many people Fan Xian and His Highness had there been, and so many people ambushing under Zhengyang Sect?

"I've all hit the sect of the sect that can move."

Fan Xian stared at the Langyan in Kyoto and said with a calm expression: "Although I didn't guess that they were so powerful that they entered from Jiuchu City Gate, since they hit Zhengyang Gate, I must make a move!"

The eldest prince glanced at him, then looked at the rebel flags gradually approaching the streets of Kyoto. He couldn't help but shrink his pupils and said, "After all, it's just a journey, and the general trend is irreversible. In the past, if you rush out from within Zhengyang Gate, you might really have a chance to break through."

"The eldest princess must have a reserve team outside Kyoto." Fan Xian said, "Breakthrough? What kind of breakthrough should I do?"

"Didn't Jing Ge disappear in Kyoto with two hundred black cavalry?" The eldest prince glanced at him.

Fan Xian didn't respond, but looked at the square under the palace with a heavy face. This square was huge. There were tens of thousands of people in the military parade. At this time, he could feel the tremor of the earth. It must be that the Eighth Route Rebels were about to siege here, with such momentum. Even though he had already seen through the word "life and death", he couldn't help but start to tremble.

He raised his head and looked at the direction of Zhengyangmen, knowing in his heart that the strength of his and the eldest prince who stayed outside the palace was basically concentrated on that journey. No matter who wanted to get to the palace from where, I was afraid he would have to pay a very heavy price.

If he knew that he was the second-generation leader of the Qin family, who was struggling with crossbow arrows and poisonous smoke, he would laugh out loud and remember the Qin family's sniping in the valley. Fan Xian had always kept it firmly in his heart - he just didn't know how many loyal subordinates of the Supervisory Office and the cavalry brigades in the imperial guards who were equivalent to suicide in a moment.

However, as the eldest prince said, a mere city gate is not enough to change the general trend.

At the foot of the imperial city, a cavalry appeared at the intersection of the street on the edge of the square. At this time, the imperial guards had already gathered into the palace, and there was no one in the square outside the palace gate. Therefore, the appearance of this cavalry seemed so abrupt. In the empty world, it seemed that a disharmonious black dot suddenly appeared.

With the sound of horse hooves, the cavalry rushed directly from the edge of the square to the middle of the square and came to the front of the imperial city without any stop.

Behind this cavalry, the second cavalry, the third cavalry, the tenth, the hundredth, and the first thousand... The black Qin Ye family army, after sweeping away some resistance along the way, finally came to the front of the imperial city with a dark cloud.

The rebels surrounded the entire palace in silence and coldness. This murderous aura in silence and extremely calm aura made the imperial guards and soldiers above the imperial city tremble for no reason.
To be continued...
