Cheng zhaobing didn't have to look up to know whose sword it was. The blades intersected and sent out lightning and flint. Xiao mubai suddenly urged his internal power. Cheng zhaobing's hand with the knife shook and retreated two steps.
"Lord." He liantao is still ready to lead his neck to be killed. Unexpectedly, Xiao mubai will come and save him.
The sky burning flames under the four gates of Chang'an continued to burn, and screams from heaven and earth continued one after another. Originally, Cheng zhaobing killed the rebellious he liantao with one blow, which could also increase the morale of the rebels.
But now, he was shocked by Xiao mubai and retreated. Although it was only two steps, he also let the rebels retreat together and lost his fighting spirit.
This is also the reason why Xiao mubai came personally and didn't let the dark guard do it.
Cheng zhaobing had led 40000 troops and was ordered to capture the imperial city. He thought 40000 to 3000 were easy, but he didn't expect that he liantao led more than 10000 troops to turn against him before the war began.
And behind him, there are only more than 20000 rebels left.
Xiao Zimu, after Xiao mubai's successful attack, called Shang Huan with a grateful face, looked at Xiao mubai's he liantao, and asked him to take the soldiers up the stairs to the city building.
The rebels behind Cheng zhaobing were stunned. The original imperial city was difficult to conquer. At present, those city guards personally held their comrades in arms who were still Brothers yesterday to help them turn it over.
"Shoot an arrow!" Cheng zhaobing gave orders to the rebels who were standing still.
The rebels reacted. He liantao wanted to take those soldiers up the city building and defend the city with the city garrison, which was only 3000 left.
The rebels bent their bows and arrows together. When the arrow rain roared to the city wall, Xiao mubai rose in the air and fell four dark guards from both sides. They seemed to hold something in their hands and occasionally flashed silver light.
Instead of shooting through the chests of the soldiers led by he liantao, the rebel's feather arrow shot half way and suddenly stopped in mid air at the position of the four dark guards.
Yes, it stopped in mid air!
At this time, the picture is very strange, as if a wall appeared invisibly to intercept all the feather arrows.
Cheng zhaobing, who didn't believe in evil, ordered again, "let go!"
With the arrow galloping out, Cheng zhaobing stared at the arrow for a moment.
Sure enough, it stopped in the air at the original position. The wall hanging in the invisible air has been more and more densely inserted by a new round of arrow rain.
Cheng zhaobing focused on it, and then he saw that Ding, Bian Hao, Jiang Yan and Jiang Quan held a corner respectively, and opened a transparent and dense net.
The net was set up by wumahua with fishing line. It is transparent and flexible. The mesh is arranged according to the size of the feather arrow, which can make the arrow pass through but get stuck at the tail of the arrow.
From a distance, people mistakenly think that the feather arrow is in the air, which is strange and spectacular.
"Close." Xiao mubai looked at the people he liantao took and quickly climbed up the tower. Then he ordered him to take the four people back. When he flew up the tower, he didn't forget to look back and smile, and said to Cheng zhaobing, "thank you for the arrow."
As soon as his voice fell, the guard took down the arrows skillfully with the city guard and loaded the feather arrows they sent into the city guard crossbow in front of the rebels.
Cheng zhaobing's gums were almost broken, and a stream of fishy sweet blood gas gushed from his throat.
With the addition of he liantao, the city guarding army, which originally had only 3000 troops, grew to nearly 20000 in an instant. The previously severed bow and arrow also supplemented the Quartermaster of the city guarding crossbow because of the two launches ordered by Cheng zhaobing.
Cheng zhaobing was only a rebel of more than 20000 behind him. He looked at the rebel forces that were almost catching up with him on the city tower, and it was obvious that he could not attack any more.
Cheng zhaobing retreated, and Xiao mubai could not send someone to chase him.
Chang'an is still occupied by concubine Li. All they have to do is guard the imperial city and wait for General Zhao to attack.
The burning man under the city tower has burned into a charred body, but the loss of more than a thousand people has caused a serious psychological shadow to the rebels.
After a "reprimand", all Ren family spies finished firing rockets and returned to Mingxiang garden from all directions again.
Although the gate of Mingxiang garden was only opened and closed, it also reduced the pressure of General Zhao's attack on the city. Angrily, Shi Fuqiu shouted at General Zhao: "your grandson is the one who has blacked his heart."
Although general Zhao didn't know what was going on in the city, listening to the scream in the city and the abuse of Shi Fuqiu with a blue face, he guessed that it was early summer.
The soldiers led by General Zhao thought that the imperial city was in danger. It was a long-term fierce battle, but they didn't expect that the people in the imperial city suddenly broke out, and there was still room for cooperation with them.
At this time, without the command of old general Zhao, the morale of the army was greatly strengthened, and the attack on the city became more and more fierce.
At the same time, there are Hou ye and Huo Tianxiu who rush back all the way west.
The letters they sent back one after another sank into the sea, making them more and more sure that something big must have happened in Beijing.
The detention of Miao Heng dragged down their speed, and the Marquis simply handed him over to Hu Yingmao.
Even so, the distance between them was still not fast. The Marquis could not ride for a long time because of his low back injury, so he had to take a carriage.
The two were anxious and discussed. Huo Tianxiu took his subordinates and hurried back to Beijing first.
The Marquis stayed behind to keep in touch with him and was ready for a rainy day.
Huo Tianxiu passed through the junction of Wanzhou and Huixin and arrived at Chi'an. Only then did he hear the wind from Chi Xiang, the Navy leader of Chi'an.
Chi Xiang was once a subordinate of Huo Tianxiu. Seeing him appear in Chi'an, he revealed a strange thing.
They had occasional contact with each other when they practiced naval forces in Chishui and Gushui city near Chang'an. Although they were not dense, they never stopped.
Chi Xiang once paid a courtesy door-to-door visit. Only then did he find that the garrison in Gushui city was evacuated, and the original navy was temporarily arranged to serve as the training of the garrison.
Although it was strange, how could Chi Xiang think that the garrison division of Gushui city would take them to capture Chang'an.
Seeing Huo Tianxiu at the moment, Chi Xiangcai asked in some panic: "Huo Tidu, what will happen to Chang'an?"
The reason why he asked was that the garrison commander had not led the troops out of the city, otherwise they must pass through Chi'an, so they could only disappear in Chang'an.
Huo Tianxiu's heartbeat began to accelerate, his scalp was numb, his eyebrows were wrinkled very tightly, and he suddenly breathed heavily.
He and the Marquis had made various assumptions and never thought that the garrison commander would lead troops to Chang'an.
The emperor will not use these people at all, so the only possibility is that the garrison commander led the army back to Beijing without an imperial edict, and he happened to leave the capital at this time.
Huo Tianxiu was so stuffy that he didn't dare to think about it anymore
