Chapter 133 Bloody Assassin
With the sound of drums and music from the pioneering team, the grand ceremony of Emperor Ling's trip officially began, and the vast team set out from the palace and walked forward.
Accompanied by Queen He and Meiren, Emperor Ling took Liu Bian and Liu Xie two princes sitting in front of the carriage and accepted the worship of the mountains along the way in Guizhou.
He Jin was wearing armor, sitting upright on the tall horse, guarding next to the chariot.
Zhang Rang, Feng Xi, Yuan Feng and other important officials in the court rode their horses behind the chariot.
The Eight Hundred Wulin Army lined up in an orderly platoon, guarding the chariots and these senior officials...
Bao Tong and Xue Fan also changed the equipment of the Yulin Army and followed the team and marched together.
Along the way, there were guards along the streets, separating the onlookers from the chariots. Since Emperor Ling felt the support of the Guizhou leader, he would not be in danger.
The convoy was very slow, but it was also very safe.
After walking for about two hours, the sun slowly sets in the west and it is getting late. At this time, the convoy slowly approaches Zhang Rang's mansion.
Zhang Rang's mansion was extremely luxuriously repaired. Not to mention the tall courtyard wall, a small river channel around the wall was built outside the courtyard wall, just like a moat outside the palace, but the river channel was slightly narrow, only about two meters wide.
The convoy continued along the road next to Zhang Rang's mansion.
After two hours of traveling, Emperor Ling was obviously tired. The two children were always restricted by his mother and could not run on the chariot. He also felt very bored. The younger Liu Xie couldn't help crying.
Meiren Wang tried her best to coax him, but Liu Xie kept crying.
At this time, He Hou couldn't help but speak and suggested to Emperor Ling: "Master, the child has been crying and making trouble. When the Qianshou saw him, he might lose his royal dignity. Why not stop the carriage and ask Sister Wang to take him to the car that he is with him first, and wait until the child is coaxed before picking him up?"
Emperor Ling obviously didn't want Liu Xie to keep crying, so he nodded, and then ordered the inner supervisor beside him: "Stop!"
The internal supervisor received the order and hurriedly walked to the railing of the chariot and announced loudly: "The emperor ordered the emperor to stop!"
The coachman and the guards of the Yulin Army received the order to slow down until the chariot slowly stopped.
He Jin urged the horse to come to the carriage and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you stop?"
The internal surveillance was about to respond when several holes suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the convoy. Six masked assassins with crossbows flew out of the hole. While rushing forward, they aimed at the Yulin Army around the chariot and began to shoot arrows.
Obviously, these assassins dug a hole here in advance, hid it in it, and then covered the hole with wooden boards, leaving only some small holes for breathing, and covered it with sand and soil. From a distance, it is no different from ordinary appearances.
When the convoy approaches and they suddenly fly out, they can have the effect of a sudden assassination.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the Yulin Army was not prepared at all, and the killers' archery skills were extremely accurate. The bows and arrows shot were aimed at the Yulin Army's face and throat positions without armor defense.
In an instant, several Yulin troops fell down by arrows, and the entire defense formation was disrupted.
He Jin was shocked and exclaimed loudly: "Protect your car, please protect your car!"
Other Yulin troops quickly surrounded the car and tried to fill the gap that was opened...
The huge chariot made the Yulin Army unable to line up and could only move forward from both sides of the chariot.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the Yulin Army.
Bao Tong and Xue Fan did take action at this time. They waved the sword in their hands and slashed at the Yulin Army beside them, breaking a road, and killing from another direction towards the direction of the chariot.
The sudden incident caught the Yulin Army off guard. Many guards around the chariot were killed. Seeing that the assassins were about to rush to the chariot.
The Ling Emperor, Empress He, Wang Meiren and others on the chariot were already scared to death and sat on the ground.
He Jin looked at the approaching assassin and could only draw out the sword from his waist and prepare to face the enemy in person.
In the rivers on both sides of the road, a sound of water fluctuated, and several people wearing water and holding crossbows suddenly rushed out. The leaders were Han Tao and Cao Cao.
After Han Tao guessed the ambush method of Zhang Liang, he and Cao Cao and his subordinates also arrived early and lurked in the river. They held reed tubes on their mouths and hid in the water, waiting for the assassin to take action and then attacked.
Cao Cao and his subordinates shot arrows at the approaching Bao Tong and Xue Fan. The two hurriedly raised their weapons to cover them and tried hard to block the bow and arrow.
Han Tao and his subordinates also used crossbows to block the six assassins.
The assassin here is better than Bao Tong, and Xue Fan is a little worse. The two of them are shot and killed on the spot, and one of them is injured.
After a round of bows and arrows were shot, Cao Cao and Han Tao both showed their swords and led their subordinates to face the opponent in front of them. The two sides fought together...
When He Jin saw Han Tao, Cao Cao came out and stopped the assassin. He calmed down and immediately commanded the Yulin Army to protect the enemy.
Yuan Shao in the distance led the Yulin Army to quickly approach the assassins and surrounded them...
Seeing that all the assassins were surrounded, He Jin showed a smug smile on his face, and turned around to comfort the Ling Emperor and others on the chariot: "Don't worry, your Majesty, the assassin has been surrounded by us..."
He Jin stopped suddenly before he finished speaking because he felt a few black clouds suddenly appear above his head.
He Jin quickly looked up and was stunned: two people with huge wings tied to their bodies actually flew out of the tall buildings in Zhang Rang's mansion, gliding straight to the chariot and "flying".
Not only He Jin, but also the Ling Emperor on the chariot, He Hou and others were stunned when they saw this scene.
The two of them landed directly on the chariot, quickly untied the ropes on their bodies, and showed their swords.
He Jin reacted quickly and quickly jumped onto the chariot in front of him, guarding the Ling Emperor.
The assassin was not afraid at all when facing He Jin. One of them stepped forward with a knife to fight, while the other rushed directly at Lingdi and others.
He Jin had only one person, so he could only shout: "Protect the car, protect the car quickly!"
The Yulin Army was wearing heavy armor and could not jump onto the tall chariot to help, so they could only rush to free their armor and try to get on the car...
Seeing this scene, Han Tao quickly withdrew from the battle and ordered his subordinates: "Get on me!"
At this time, the Yulin Army had already surrounded them, and they quickly withdrew from the fight with the assassin in front of them...
The two Yijun stood side by side, hugged their arms in front of them, forming a footrest position.
Han Tao flew in front of him and stepped on the hands of both of them. The two of them exerted force together, lifting Han Tao up and flew directly into the chariot...
In this gap, the assassin had already rushed to the front of Lingdi and others, raised the knife in his hand, and was about to kill Lingdi to death on the spot.
At this time, the beautiful Wang flew out desperately, blocked the Spirit Emperor, and was directly hit by a knife and fell into a pool of blood...
The blood of the beautiful Wang sprayed on the body and face of the Ling Emperor behind him. When did the Ling Emperor see such a tragic situation? His eyes turned pale and foamed at the mouth, and he fainted from fear.
At this time, Empress He would certainly not go forward to protect Emperor Ling. She had already shrank in the corner with Liu Bian in her arms, and looked at the tragic situation in front of her with fear.
Han Tao arrived at this time, waved the deer-cutting sword in his hand and slashed hard at the assassin. The assassin turned around and raised his sword to prepare for the battle.
A bowstring sounded, and a sharp arrow flew over, hitting the assassin's back heart.
The person who shoots the arrow is naturally the archer Huang Zhong. Han Tao arranged for him to lurk in the dark and kill the assassin at the critical moment. He seized the opportunity and hit the target with one arrow...
The assassin was caught in an arrow, and the knife in his hand could not be held, and it fell directly to the ground.
Han Tao waved his sword and slashed at his neck, his head was directly cut into the air, and his body fell to the ground.
