one step closer to the end

Chapter 1298

night!

The camp of the Longwu Army was brightly lit, and people in the huge military town shouted horses, all kinds of defensive equipment were put on the simple walls, a large number of horses were densely packed around the military town, and the soldiers even ate in shifts. The appearance of the upcoming battle.

"How many soldiers and horses have been mobilized, why is there no food and grass brought in..."

The general of Zuo Xiaowei stood on the city wall, and he was temporarily appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Longwu Army. In order to prevent the military generals from embracing their own self-respect, the army of the Tang Dynasty did not have a fixed generalissimo. Dispersed and stationed.

"..."

There was a moment of silence behind the Generalissimo. Only in wartime would one know who the Generalissimo was. The Generalissimo came to lead the army with a tiger talisman and a letter of amnesty, and then searched for [-] local "Captains of Longwu" for inspection. Your lord stamped his seal to confirm that only a scattered army of [-] could be gathered in one place.

"Why don't you speak, don't you know how many soldiers and horses you have..."

The Generalissimo turned around in shock, and there were only ten Longwu captains standing behind him, each of whom was only in charge of 5000 troops, and only 5 people under full control.

"My lord! The county has seized the grain and grass, and the men and horses will never come again..."

A captain spread his hands and said: "Please tell us the truth, all the counties have received the imperial court's pardon, and the seals of the three provinces and six ministries are stamped in it, saying that Tianyangzi is the illegitimate son of the traitor Yang Pingchuan, and he wants to take the emperor In order to order the princes, they even skinned King Yujiang and replaced him with a monster!"

"Idiot! The emperor is in the tent of the Chinese army, didn't you go to kowtow..."

The Generalissimo said angrily: "The person who colluded with the cult is Yin Zhiping. He killed the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, stole the emperor's gold seal and jade seal, and even held the queen hostage to issue a corrective edict. Come to Qin Wang, you can't wait until you can't eat!"

"My lord! The people below don't know the emperor, not many people have met you..."

A lieutenant said anxiously: "The emperor has no gold seal or jade seal, but there are all the amnesty letters issued by the court, and there are also ministers of the Ministry of War and eunuchs promulgating the decree. The only difference is that the emperor has also been replaced, and he is here to rescue the emperor. If we block it, we are treason!"

"Ridiculous! You don't recognize me, don't you generals..."

The old emperor suddenly strode up, followed by all the red-robed Jinwu guards, and a group of generals hurriedly bowed their hands and knelt down.

"Five armies came to serve the king, the marshal and the general are my confidantes..."

The old emperor put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "My face is the jade seal, and it is the letter of amnesty. If they see me, they can still plot rebellion. Yin Zhiping's jumping clown will not be able to play for a few days, and then I will personally kill him." Cut it off and hang it on the top of the city!"

"Report!"

A "Tabai" with two feathers in his back rushed to the top of the city, knelt down on one knee and shouted: "The five thousand cavalry in our vanguard battalion turned against us, and the two thousand Yulin troops rebelled. Grandpa was beheaded on the spot, and the Great Master is nowhere to be found!"

"What did you say?"

The old emperor's face turned livid in an instant, and the generals on the top of the city were also in an uproar. The Grand Marshal was even more frightened and said: "The [-] troops set off after noon, how could they mutiny in an instant, the prince still has [-] troops with him?" Elite iron cavalry, that is my personal soldier!"

"My lord! Zuo Xiaowei didn't mutiny and protected the crown prince to break through, but was defeated in a moment..."

The other party said with a bitter face: "The men and horses of Zhenmensi have also been dispatched. I don't know what kind of sorcery they used. Suddenly, the sky thundered, and the thunder shook the ground, and... the prince turned into a snake demon on the spot, dragging people away." Pi fled, all the officers and men witnessed it with their own eyes, believe it or not!"

"Bastard! How could my son be a snake demon..."

The old emperor was trembling with anger, and said through gritted teeth: "Damn Yin Zhiping, it turns out that he is colluding with monsters. I want to tear his corpse into thousands of pieces. Immediately, I will gather soldiers and horses. I want to drive myself to conquer him. Let's see if he is still alive." How to deceive people!"

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not..."

The Generalissimo hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Once there is a chaotic situation, the five-way army will not be able to tell the enemy from us, and it will be troublesome if Thief Yin takes the opportunity to confuse you. Let's stay here for a few days. When all the King Qin's army arrives, you will not be able to come forward again." Late!"

"Hmph~ I will let him live for a few more days, and then I will cut off his dog's head with my own hands..."

The old emperor walked down cursing, and the Generalissimo and others took the time to set up their defenses, for fear of being attacked in the middle of the night, but they didn't notice at all that many pawns sneaked into the camp, chatting at places where soldiers gathered .

"Have you heard that King Yujiang's skin has been peeled off, and the snake demon is wearing his skin..."

"I heard! Master Zhou's horses were all eaten, and he was scared to death..."

"Really? Then why didn't you eat the emperor..."

A group of gossip spirits all gathered around, and an old soldier carried a spear and said in a low voice: "I dare not say anything after eating, I can't go to the emperor for a body check, right? They are all surrounded, and the grain roads have been cut off without even looking at them, so the smart ones ran away early!"

"Could it be that the emperor was also skinned..."

A group of people looked around in fear, and the veteran whispered: "It's more than that! I heard that the adults in the palace are all monsters, so we can only surround them to rescue them first, and wait for the magician from the town magician to come to have a body check. Whether it's a human or a demon, I'll run away in the middle of the night anyway, I shouldn't stay here for long!"

"Where are you going? Surrounded on all sides, if you catch him, you'll kill him..."

More than a dozen people looked at him eagerly, but the other party rolled their eyes and said: "Stupid! Run to the vanguard battalion. The vanguard battalion has been reorganized into the Habayashi army. Each person is paid 50 taels of silver. Let's say there are monsters in the battalion. Just come here and report the news!"

"Good idea! If you don't become a deserter, you won't be beheaded, and there is still money to take..."

A group of people nodded excitedly, but such and such remarks are spreading rapidly to the entire camp. This is not the same as running away. They still serve as soldiers for the court. As for who the emperor is, they don't know who it is anyway.

……

"My lord! Get up quickly, there is an urgent military situation..."

The big tent of the Huwei army was thrown open abruptly, and the marshal who was lying in his clothes quickly got up, picked up his sword and walked out of the tent. Seeing that it was past midnight, he rubbed his eyes in a little confusion Hey, I just saw a dozen heavy cavalry standing in front of me.

"Longwu Army? What happened..."

The Grand Marshal frowned and took a few steps forward, his lieutenant general solemnly said: "My lord! There are thousands of people outside the camp. They said that the emperor's camp was full of monsters, and all the generals were replaced. They were so frightened that they fled out overnight. Come and join us!"

The Generalissimo asked in surprise, "It's so serious, how can the emperor be safe?"

"Lord Liu! The emperor is currently under house arrest in the camp. Whether he is being held hostage or replaced, I will not know..."

A cavalry general cupped his hands and said, "Yesterday, King Yujiang was ambushed by Zhenmensi, and he turned into a snake demon on the spot to escape. After the news spread to the camp, the soldiers kept their eyes open. They really found out that some generals were eating people alive." , I really don’t dare to stay any longer, so I ask the Generalissimo to make the decision!”

"It's useless to ask me about this matter. I can't tell the difference between monsters. Where are the people from the Zhenmagic Division..."

The Generalissimo spread his hands helplessly, but the other party said: "The Zhenmeng said that they are in charge of identifying demons, but they have no ability to save the emperor. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Shenwu Army were deceived, and they also said that there are a large number of demon soldiers hidden in the mountains. Just a few people is not enough to get people between their teeth!"

"My lord! The Shenwu army is evacuating to the east, you should go out and have a look..."

A lieutenant ran in hastily, the Generalissimo's expression changed suddenly, he quickly rode his horse and rushed out of the camp, only to be stunned as soon as he ran up the official road.

"Da da da……"

Fast horses kept running past the front and disappeared at the end of the official road without looking back. There were still a large number of infantry fighting in open fire, trotting neatly in line, and even the carriages pulling the grain and grass came. Yes, it's obviously not a defeat and a rout.

"Hey! Where are you going? Why are you going east..."

The deputy general hurried forward to stop a group of people, and the leader said loudly: "The emperor's palace is full of monsters. Let's report to the Yiyang Town Demon Bureau. A clue will give you 50 taels of silver. Will you give it here? We will remember the appearance of monsters." down!"

"No! We don't have that spare money..."

The deputy general shook his head like a rattle, but a veteran shouted again: "Master Han! You are going to encircle and suppress the demon soldiers. You must not enter the mountain. There is a hundred-foot-long demon dragon in the mountain, and all the demon masters are dead." Now, we are moving rescue soldiers everywhere!"

"stop!"

The Generalissimo rode his horse and rushed over, asking angrily, "Why don't you rush to help, fleeing in battle is a capital crime of beheading!"

"General! We didn't run away, we were ordered to transfer..."

A young general waved his hand and said: "Shangguan has been replaced by monsters, we can't tell who is alive anymore, the Habayashi Army asked us to go to the Demon Town Bureau to identify our identities, and we are not allowed to approach the gods without authorization. You must not accept outsiders. It will be over if monsters sneak into the camp!"

"Oops! Get the people from the Shenwu Army out quickly, and drive as far as you can..."

The Generalissimo yelled anxiously, and his entourage hurriedly surrounded him and said, "My lord! This is really a fatal situation. What if the town magician comes to ask for help? It's not good to fight, and it's not good if you don't fight." ah!"

"Can't fight! Never fight..."

A master ran over quickly, waved his hands and said: "In case the monster just kidnaps the emperor, and once the killer is rushed, we can't bear the responsibility of this day. My lord hurriedly went to the court and said that we don't know how to kill demons and eliminate demons." , everything is subject to the arrangement of Zhenmensi!"

"Li Zhiping won't do everything, right? That chicken thief is better than a monkey..."

The Generalissimo jumped off his horse in a hurry, but the master said: "This is his job. Prince Concubine Li can't hide even if he wants to. You leave [-] infantry in the camp. Just ask for help and give them all to him." , let’s go to Dongtian Village to wipe out the cult, and what happened has nothing to do with you!”

"Wonderful! There are also rebels in Dongtian Mountain, write quickly and play, make fire and cook..."

The Generalissimo led his horse and ran back in surprise, and he fled away as soon as it was dawn, and the camp of the Shenwu Army was also bleak. The generals looked at the camp outside the town with bewildered faces. The bonfire was still slowly smoking, but... no one was there!

"Where are the people? Where have they all gone..."

Marshal Shenwu roared with red eyes, a group of soldiers ran out of the military town in surprise, grabbed the guards who were standing guard against the wall, and fell down in a hurry, all of them were pretending to be scarecrows, even the civilian husband ran away clean.

"Big big, people..."

A lieutenant stuttered, and said with ashes on his face: "The soldiers said that there are monster soldiers in the mountains, Tianyangzi is still opening the altar, and the town magician has been fighting with monsters. I'm afraid we are the ones who are deceived." Well, how about... let's run too, something is really wrong!"

"..."

Chapter 1299

There are only six days left to celebrate the New Year, and a light snowfall came quietly. The old emperor wore a sable fur cloak and walked to the top of the city under the umbrella of Commander Chen. But when he looked up, the military town of 4 people had already There was no one there, and the camp outside the town was even more empty.

"Tianyangzi! Tell me the truth, are you the altar master of the cult..."

The old emperor held onto the battlements without looking back. There are only more than 1000 Jinwu guards left in the town, and there are more than 1000 worthless Zuo Xiaowei. Even the cook slipped away quietly, and the general said yesterday Looking for reinforcements, he disappeared as soon as he went.

"Yes and no!"

Tianyangzi braved the snow and walked up to the top of the city. There were hundreds of disciples of Baiyun Temple standing at the bottom of the city. He said sincerely: "Two years ago, the Yang family invited me to join the Shooting Sun Sect. At that time there was no such thing as a cult, and they didn't teach anyone Rebellion, I only regarded it as a tool to make money, so I readily agreed!"

"Then have you colluded with monsters..."

The old emperor looked at him coldly, Tian Yangzi shook his head lightly and said: "There is absolutely no such thing! Yin Zhiping has been directing and performing this matter all along, and even monsters have been used by him, and we always thought he was fighting alone. In fact, he has many senior brothers in the city, even in the palace!"

"Rebel! I was greedy for money for a while, and spared his dog's life, and I made a big mistake..."

The old emperor patted the battlements angrily, and as soon as his words fell, he saw a few fast horses. Eight Jinwu guards rushed into the city quickly, ran up to the top of the city and intervened, saying, "Your Majesty! Take charge, a total of 12 troops are approaching!"

The old emperor asked urgently: "Didn't you tell the commander-in-chief? Could it be that the path is also blocked?"

"The commander of the Baotao Guard has returned to God and returned to his command. The Shenwei Army and the Huwei Army have gone into the mountains to suppress the bandits..."

The leader said dejectedly: "These people are avoiding us, and they all say the same thing. They all say that killing demons is the job of Zhenmengsi. They have sent troops to help, and meddling indiscriminately will endanger your safety. Now Zhenmusi is clamoring, Let the Grand Master send you out!"

"Bastard! This damned beast..."

The old emperor cursed angrily, and Tian Yangzi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! I will help you break out of the siege. Let's take a small road across the river and make known the crimes of Bandit Yin to the world, and then lead an army to attack him. Bandit Yin has no military power. In his hands, the generals are just afraid of taking responsibility!"

"Your Majesty! Break out, if you don't leave, you will be blocked..."

Commander Chen also hurriedly persuaded, the old emperor waved his sleeves dejectedly, stomped his feet and said to break through, but the empress dowager was still in the military town, so he simply had a heartbroken, anyway, Zhao Guanren would not kill the empress dowager, and directly killed the old lady and the palace maid He stayed in the house, and after a confession, he led the people away.

"Boom boom boom..."

Nearly 3000 people quickly fled the military town, and killed the old emperor without thinking that he became an exiled monarch inexplicably. Before I knew it, more than half of it was missing.

"Those who run away from the battle will be killed without mercy..."

Commander Chen drew his sword and yelled in fright, but it was okay if he didn't yell, but it made people wake up when he yelled, and lost more than half of the people in half an hour. The 3000 people suddenly became more than 500, and Tianyang had to be counted None of Zuo Xiaowei's subordinates escaped.

"Tianyangzi! Where are you running..."

suddenly!

A large group of cavalry rushed out from the front, blocking the narrow mountain road, and there were high mountains on both sides. The old emperor stopped his horse and shouted angrily: "Here I am! That villain Yin Zhiping is spreading rumors and plotting rebellion, God! Yangzi didn't hold me hostage, let me get out of the way!"

"You are the emperor? Why are you not wearing a dragon robe..."

Hundreds of cavalry looked at him suspiciously. The old emperor changed into black clothes for convenience, so he could only take out the dragon robe from his pack, and said loudly, "Here is the dragon robe! You don't recognize me, don't you recognize the Jinwu Guard?" Hurry up and escort me to the river, Yin Zhiping is going to rebel!"

"You've been threatened, but you don't have to worry..."

A young general said loudly: "You only need to come here alone, and I will try my best to keep you away, and then send you to Shendu for an identity check. If you are really the emperor, the adults from the three provinces and six departments will kowtow to see you. I will protect you well!"

"you……"

The old emperor almost exploded in anger, and said angrily: "Are you pig brains? Three provinces and six ministries are all Yin bandits. How can they let me live? If you don't want to cause trouble, get out of the way and stop talking nonsense!"

"You can leave, but they can't, especially Tianyangzi, he is a cult rebel..."

The young general raised his horse lance coldly and arrogantly, and the others also raised their bows and arrows one after another. Their eyes were full of 20 taels of silver walking. The angry old emperor made the Jinwu guards show their waist cards, and even took out their own tiger charms Come out, but I didn't expect to kill them...

"Tch~ I just killed a group of rebels the day before yesterday. They are all called Jin Wuwei, and their badges are still gold..."

The young general took out a waist card from his pocket, and the others also took out more than a dozen yuan, making the Jinwu guards' eyes pop, looking at the bronze waist card in their own hand, and then at the gold medal in the opponent's hand, The appearance is exactly the same as theirs.

"Kill it! Drive..."

Suddenly, Tianyangzi rode his horse and rushed out, and hundreds of disciples also charged quickly, but the armored heavy cavalry on the opposite side charged forward without fear, but Tianyangzi's side was all masters of profound energy, and at the moment of contact, they rushed forward. Suddenly jumped into the air.

"kill!!!"

Tianyangzi stabbed a sword in the air. The strength of the great master is extraordinary. With a single knife, he split a man and a horse in half. Spicy, the person who was beaten in the blink of an eye was thrown off his feet.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A rain of arrows suddenly shot in the air, all of which were armor-piercing arrows wrapped in profound energy. Hundreds of disciples hurriedly swung their knives to block, and some suddenly fell from mid-air, but none of them were hit by the arrows, but the shells that followed were indeed, The frightened Tianyangzi was out of his wits.

"Hurry up!"

Tian Yangzi suddenly flew hundreds of meters away, but more than a dozen shells exploded, blasting all his disciples out, but no one thought that the disciples were injured but did not bleed, but were split open. Under the skin, hairs of different colors were exposed.
