Chapter 234 Confrontation before the formation(1/2)
"kill……"
A cry of murder soared into the sky, which seemed so clear in this silent night.
As it gradually spread to the entire Liyang City, when it entered each ear, it immediately attracted people's attention.
The footsteps moved slightly, and a confidant came to the side of Yu Kai, the head of the Yu family, "Patriarch, it seems that the head of the Pi family has already taken action."
"Um."
He glanced in the direction where it came from, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and Yu Kai's right hand, which had already held down the long sword, suddenly exerted force.
Accompanied by a sound of swords that sounded clear even in the dark night, the long sword in Yu Kai's hand pointed at another target tonight, the Yueyang Mansion.
"Charge into the government and capture Gongsun Yang alive!"
"Charge into the government and capture Gongsun Yang alive!"
"Charge into the government and capture Gongsun Yang alive!"
…
Amid waves of shouts from Yu's private soldiers, a team of five hundred people swam like a long dragon in the direction of the Yueyang government office not far away.
The rebellion was now in full swing.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps...
When the footsteps of Yu's private soldiers were getting closer and closer to the gate of the government, the originally dark front was immediately filled with lights, and the light emitted by countless torches immediately illuminated the surrounding area as bright as day.
"Archers prepare..."
Following a loud command from the palace wall, dozens of archers who had been training for more than two months quickly drew out arrows from their arrow pots.
Between the bow and the arrow, the sharp arrow clusters shimmered coldly under the surrounding firelight, adding a dangerous atmosphere to the arrows.
"put……"
Listening to the sound of orders ringing in their ears again, these archers who had already trained their bows and arrows to perfection subconsciously loosened the tightly tightened bow strings in their hands.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Sounds of piercing the air were heard together with the constant sound of bow strings vibrating, and dozens of feather arrows cut through the surrounding dark night sky and shot straight towards their target.
The private soldiers of the Yu family who were charging forward also heard the sound of breaking through the air from the front, and their prediction of danger immediately prompted them to take evasive actions.
But it was too late, or in other words, when they heard the sounds representing death, their fate was already doomed.
Before the evasive movement was fully executed, a sharp arrow hit the vital part of one of Yu's private soldiers.
The sharp arrow clusters penetrated the slightly thin defense without any effort, and the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh and blood immediately sounded, along with the painful groans of Yu's private soldiers.
Almost in an instant, the dozen or so private soldiers of the Yu family who were rushing forward fell on their way forward.
Seeing his subordinate fall down in front of him, Yu Kai felt a burst of pain in his heart. You must know that these are all the things that the Yu family has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to train.
But at this moment, it was just such a meeting. These private soldiers who were an important part of their Yu family's power were just dead. How could he easily accept this?
The expression in his eyes became colder and colder, and his gaze towards the government in front was filled with murderous intent.
Only by rushing in there and killing everyone inside can the resentment in his heart be reduced.
"Archer!"
The long sword in Yu Kai's hand went straight forward, and the Yu's archers who were originally protected in the team quickly gathered at the front.
"Prepare……"
"put!"
The same sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded among Yu's team, and the counterattack arrows shot towards the government in front.
In the next period of time, the team led by Yu Kai used bows and arrows to contain the archers on the palace wall, while constantly trying to attack the closed government gate in front of them.
On this not-so-wide battlefield, lives disappeared every minute, and figures fell on the way forward every second.
And as Yu's troops attacked one after another, the originally solid government gate gradually began to look shaky.
"Brothers, the people inside can't hold it anymore, please work harder."
"Here."
A command came from the Yu family's private soldiers, and there were many responses from the team, and the door that was about to be unable to hold was suddenly opened.
Seeing that the obstacles ahead had been broken through, the faces of the Yu family's private soldiers standing at the front immediately showed a bit of smiles.
But when they saw clearly what was going on inside the door, the smiles on their faces could no longer be maintained, and a heartfelt fear appeared on their faces.
What appeared in front of these private soldiers of the Yu family at this moment was not the smooth road as imagined, but a handful of powerful crossbows held in the hands of the soldiers. What was even more terrifying was that there were a number of powerful crossbows placed on top of the powerful crossbows.
Crossbow arrows glowing with dim light.
"emission!"
A crisp command sounded in the array of these powerful crossbows, and then the soldiers suddenly pulled down the hanging knives of the powerful crossbows in their hands.
The bow string carries huge power and moves forward rapidly. The crossbow arrows, which are much shorter than the feather arrows, are pushed out of the strong crossbow by this huge force.
Almost in an instant, the private soldiers of the Yu family who were standing in front of the gate and had no time to escape were shot into hedgehogs.
After shooting the crossbow arrows in their hands into the air, these strong crossbowmen who had been ambushing here a long time ago did not show any eagerness to fight.
"retreat!"
When an order came from a superior officer, the crossbowmen who had prepared a strike for the invading enemy retreated toward the rear together with the archers they were covering.
When the enemy advances, we retreat; when we retreat, the enemy will naturally advance.
Just as these soldiers voluntarily evacuated the front yard and retreated to the middle yard, those private soldiers of the Yu family who had already reacted to the previous round of crossbow arrows raised their sharp blades.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this moment, the battle line originally arrayed at the gate of the government moved to between the front yard and the middle courtyard of the government.
Just when the two sides were anxious between the gates of the central courtyard, a rush of footsteps rushed into the study in the backyard of the official residence.
"County magistrate, county magistrate, it's not good..."
The rush in his steps and the panic in his words clearly showed the urgency of the situation at this moment. However, when the hurried little official cast his gaze into the room, the scene in front of him suddenly stunned him.
"Snapped……"
A white chess piece landed on the black and white chessboard, and Gongsun Yang, the county magistrate, immediately looked at Cang Bo opposite him.
Cang Bo, who was holding a black piece on the opposite side, saw the piece falling and scanned the chessboard with a scrutinizing gaze, then slowly threw the black piece in his hand back into his chess basket.
"Gongsun made a superior move and the old man lost."
"Uncle Cang, I accept the concession."
After bowing to Cang Bo in front of him, Gongsun Yang seemed to notice the dull-looking young official standing beside him.
"You are so panicked, what happened?"
The words Gongsun Yang asked pulled the young official out of his daze, and he quickly bowed.
"Informing the county magistrate, there are about 500 rebels attacking the government. At this moment, the front yard has been lost, and our army is fighting with them in the middle yard."
Regarding the news reported by this little official, Gongsun Yangma behind the chessboard did not show the slightest panic, and his face was full of calmness.
His eyes suddenly fell on Cang Bo who was standing aside. Gongsun Yang was looking at Cang Bo who was standing aside with a bit of a smile.
"Since there are distinguished guests coming to the door late at night, how can Yangma, the host, keep the door closed?"
"Martingale wants to go meet this distinguished guest for a while. I wonder if Cangbo is willing to go with Martingale?"
Facing Gongsun Yang's invitation, Cang Bo also smiled back, "The old man followed Gongsun on the order of the prime minister. How could he not go with Gongsun?"
"Uncle Cang, please!"
"Gongsun, please!"
The old man and the young man looked at each other, with smiles appearing on each other's faces at the same time, and then they were seen walking out of the study one after the other.
After a few breaths, the clerk, who didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd, turned around and looked. When the two figures in his sight were getting further and further away, he quickly ran after them.
"The county magistrate waits for me, waits for me..."
…
Just as Gongsun Yang was walking towards the middle courtyard, the battle situation here was still in a fierce and anxious state.
I saw an archer on the courtyard wall picking up an arrow from the quiver behind him, and then forcefully opened the strong bow in his hand.
He selected a target from the crowd in front, aimed the sharp arrow cluster in his hand, and then suddenly released his right hand from holding the bow string.
"call out……"
The cluster of sharp arrows pierced the air between the two sides, and a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard immediately, and then the feathered arrow was seen shooting straight towards its target.
At this moment, Yu Xinxin, who was directing his private soldiers to attack the front, suddenly felt that a danger was coming, and subconsciously made evasive movements.
It was this action that brought him close to death. With the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh and blood, the arrow still hit his target, but it just missed the opponent's vital point.
Immediately, Yu Xinxin felt something fishy and sweet in his mouth, and a bloody arrow was sprayed out.
"puff……"
