Tang riddles

""Hello!Come on!If you don't want to die, work hard! "

On the wall of the urn outside the Xuanwu Gate, the noise shook the sky, and the loud shouts kept coming and going.At least a thousand hard laborers are transporting a large amount of oil tanks, wood, and rolling stones to the top of the city along the horse racing tracks on both sides of the city wall.The supervisor stood aside, urging with a long whip in his hand, and the city was covered with dense troops.

Shi Siming, who was still drinking and having fun in the Zichen Palace just now, appeared on the top of the city.Although there is still a bit of alcohol on his body, there is no drunkenness on his dark face, his eyes are piercing, and he is gazing at the scene outside the city through the dark night.He seemed to see the siege army ambushing out of sight through the night, and he knew in his heart that Li Jinyue was waiting outside, waiting for the most suitable time.

"Go and ask, has the scout who went out to investigate come back?" Shi Siming nodded to the lieutenant beside him, and the lieutenant was ordered to leave.

"General Shi, you are still defending the city at such a late hour. You are really solid and reliable." Footsteps sounded from behind, and a group of two people stepped up to the top of the city and appeared beside Shi Siming.

"Your Excellency King Shou, Doctor Li." Shi Siming bowed his hands, looking respectful, but with contempt hidden in his eyes.That sentence just now was exactly what Li Linfu said, and it sounded a little harsh to his ears.

In Shi Siming's view, drinking is not for fun, he just drinks to relax and better prepare for the upcoming war that can be expected.But for King Shou and Li Linfu, killing King Zhong already made them feel at ease. They didn't seem to care about the victory or defeat of this battle at all. It seemed to them that it didn't matter who won. As long as the emperor was still there, King Shou would be It won't hurt.But Shou Wang seemed to be still dreaming, his mind was full of the crown prince Emperor Tu, and he could no longer see the reality in front of him.

Shi Siming was too lazy to talk nonsense with these two people, drinking with them in the palace was just a joke.This battle is related to his life and death, losing is tantamount to losing everything, he must go all out.

"General Shi, when will General An's [-] troops arrive?" King Shou asked with a smile.

"As long as my brother breaks through the defense line of the Hexi Army, he will be there in less than three days." Shi Siming said perfunctorily.

"That's good, I think, as long as my elder sister can't break the city within seven days, they will definitely lose." King Shou was full of confidence.

Seven days?My little prince, Chang'an City is already in danger tonight, what nonsense are you talking about?Shi Si took a clear look at him, and didn't intend to continue to give him face at all, so he walked to the other side of the city wall.

After walking a few steps, Shi Siming suddenly sensed something was wrong, stopped and looked up to the sky.Although it was a dark night, with the help of the torches gathered at the top of the city, one could see dense black clouds approaching here at an astonishing speed.

Shi Siming's complexion changed, and he could not help but ask questions:

"what is that?"

The next moment he got the answer by himself, it was a flock of birds that were so terrifying that they couldn't see the edge and gathered like a curtain covering the sky!But in a short time, he could already hear the overwhelming sound of the birds shaking their wings and the singing one after another.

Shi Siming's face turned pale, and at that moment he froze in place, not knowing how to deal with it.He had never seen such a scene before, and in a trance he thought that he was really drunk and in a dream.

It wasn't until a scout from the top of the city stumbled and rushed over to report that Shi Siming, who was in a daze, was awakened:

"General! Birds... so many birds! They are rushing towards us!" the scout shouted in panic.

"Go away!" Shi Siming pushed the scout away, twisted and ran to the edge of the road at the head of the city, snatched the horn from the horn soldier's waist, and blew it.

"Woo~~~" The dull sound of the horn echoed in the urn city, everyone stopped their work, looked up at the sky, and the dark clouds made up of birds had already rushed towards the urn city.Fortunately for the soldiers in the city, the coolies carrying the city defenses collapsed in an instant.They were all honest people, they had never seen such a scene before, they were so frightened that they scattered and ran away, and there was a sudden chaos in the Wengcheng.

"Everyone line up to defend!!! Shield soldiers! Shield soldiers!!!" Shi Siming yelled at the top of his voice, but his voice was really unnoticed in the chaotic urn city, and was covered by the noise as soon as he opened his mouth .

Almost at the next moment, the flock of birds pounced into the urn.The scene suddenly became chaotic. Among these birds, there were quite a number of raptors, each with sharp beaks and sharp claws. They swooped down and grabbed or pecked people's heads and backs. The sharp arrow pierced through, but the pain at that moment was very unbearable.

At the moment, both the soldiers and the coolies were all in a state of running for their lives in a panic.Even if someone brandished a weapon to drive away the birds, they would not be able to form much resistance.Shi Siming wanted to organize the soldiers to resist effectively, but the birds came so suddenly that he was caught off guard.By the time he blew the horn, it was too late.

The people at the top of the city have no intention of observing the enemy's situation. The higher they are, the earlier they will be attacked.Under the harassment of the birds, they ran under the wall one after another.If someone can persist in observing from the top of the city at this time, they can find that in a hidden place not far from the Xuanwu Gate, there are at least thirty men in black, each with a whistle in their hand, Keep blowing.These whistles can directly affect the head bird among the birds, and guide the flight and attack direction of the head bird. Behind the head bird, at least twenty or thirty birds follow closely and act in unison.

These men in black are the sparrow masters of the Thousand Feathers Gate, and these birds are not really wild birds, but all the "property" accumulated by the Thousand Feathers Gate since its establishment.These birds are all well-trained, and even formed an army system, capable of forming an organized and disciplined attack.

Shen Sui's silent long howl just now was actually inspired by Shen Jin's silent long howl, and she could also trigger the bird riot caused by Shen Jin.However, Shen Jin's riot of birds aroused the unorganized startled flight of natural birds, not a powerful force that could control the attack.In order to make full use of this powerful ability, Shen Sui spent a lot of time researching it.She took Bai Hao as the leader of all the birds in Qianyumen, and she started by letting Bai Hao command other birds.The silent long howl she issued was not intended to stir up all the birds in the four fields, but to convey it to Bai Hao in the sky.After receiving the signal, Bai Hao will immediately arrive at the designated location, lower the altitude and hover, so that the other Thousand Feather Sparrow Masters on the ground can observe.Then the sparrow masters will immediately release all the birds in the birdcages at hand, artificially create a flock of birds, and use the whistle as a command to order the flock of birds to attack.

Just when Xuanwumen Urn City fell into chaos, Shen Sui was rushing on the dark road in the palace with his snow knife in hand.Her eyes were fixed on Yin Yuyue who was running fast in front of her, and she never relaxed for a moment.Yin Yuyue is worthy of being an old monster who has practiced for a hundred years, and her kung fu is superb. At this time, she is using her lightness kung fu with all her strength, which makes Shen Sui feel a little hard to chase.Shen Sui is not in a hurry, she just needs to make sure that she will not be thrown off after following him, he is the one who is anxious now, Shen Sui is not in a hurry.

From the vicinity of the Mingyi Hall where the battle broke out to the Xuanwu Gate, there is a long distance.But with the Tang Sect members led by Yin Yuyue and Shen Sui's body skills fully deployed, it was almost halfway through in the blink of an eye. When the Xuanwu Sect was in chaos, Yin Yuyue had already passed through the Taiye Pond and rushed to the vicinity of the Pao Ma Lou.

The noise of howling and screaming from outside the palace wall separating the inner palace from the Xuanwumen urn city in the distance can already be heard quite clearly here.Yin Yuyue was even more anxious, and if she stepped faster, she was about to rush towards the Xuanwu Gate.

At this moment, ten Qianyumen brothers who had been ambushing near the Pao Ma Lou suddenly came out and blocked their way.

"Go away!" Yin Yuyue yelled loudly, and immediately slapped out a palm, going straight to hit the Qianyumen brother who was blocking him first.

"Don't fight recklessly, dodge!" Shen Sui cried out when he saw this from behind.

The Qianyumen brothers who were standing in the front were already covered in a cold sweat from the lingering and evil murderous aura, but they didn't dare to fight anymore, turned sideways and rushed out, narrowly avoiding Yin Yuyue's palm.Yin Yuyue and the Tang Sect people led by him completely ignored the Qianyu Sect members who were harassing them, and rushed to Xuanwu Sect with all their heart.

Shen Sui followed closely behind, and the ten Qianyumen brothers followed behind her.

"Sect Master!" The Qianyu Sect brother who was leading the way to intercept Yin Yuyue just now called out to Shen Sui.

"Don't worry, everything is according to plan. What's the situation ahead?" Shen Sui rushed forward without looking back.

"There is chaos in the Urn City, and the birds are attacking, attracting the rest of the rebel defenders gathered inside the Xuanwu Gate!"

"Okay, I have sent five people to implement the second step of the plan, follow me, don't act rashly, follow me to take down the old thief!"

"Yes!"

The second step of the plan that Shen Sui said was to use the sharp weapon that the opponent prepared to use against them, and use it against the enemy himself.Just now when she was surrounded by everyone from the Tang Sect, Shen Sui threw something in her hand to a brother from the Qianyu Sect who was standing behind her.That object is actually a miniature blueprint folded into the size of a tofu block, on which are marked the distribution locations of kerosene, wood, and rolling stones arranged by the enemy army that Qianyumen used birds to survey these days. Qianyumen sneaked into the palace. All the brothers in the village carry fire primers, fire/powder and other tools to start the fire. Once these things are found, it is time to set fire to the Xuanwu Gate.

It was too late to say it, and before Shen Sui thought about it, there was a deafening explosion in the Wengcheng, and then the exclamation and howling erupted like waves hitting the cliffs.Just when Yin Yuyue ran up the horse racing track on the east side of Xuanwu Gate, thick smoke had already risen from the city. When they climbed to the top of the city and looked inside the urn city, the city was already in flames. All the rebels guarding the city All fell into the blazing fire, screaming in pain, a scene of hell.All the kerosene used to deal with King Qin's army was dumped into the inner city. Although Qianyumen only sent five people to do this, it was because of the gun/powder primer that these densely piled kerosene could be stored in the inner city. In an instant, they became one piece and burned blazingly.Coupled with the fact that the wind is blowing tonight, the fire will be even more intense and unstoppable due to the wind.

How similar is this situation to the Chibi War of the Three Kingdoms?

"Boom!" There was another violent explosion. Shen Sui and the others only felt that the city wall under their feet was shaking violently. A large piece of the wall on the east side of the Chongxuan Gate collapsed directly. The wood mixed with large chunks of masonry were all smashed down, smashing the people below into a pulp.The thick gunpowder smoke and the dust raised by the collapse of the city wall covered the sky and covered the sun. Mixed with the flames, they set off a monstrous terrifying power. Standing on the top of the city, they couldn't see the situation inside the city clearly.

Yin Yuyue gritted her teeth, knowing in her heart that it would be difficult for him to recover from this situation.Depending on the situation, there may not even be half of the [-] rebels defending the city, and many of them survived because they were patrolling outside.

One wrong step, one wrong step, this time he fell!But the matter is far from over, as long as the emperor is still in his hands, he has bargaining chips!Now Yin Wangchuan had left Chang'an City with the emperor, and went to Luanhuang Yin's hiding place in the past as planned.It's not too late to go out after the limelight passes.This hateful woman, Shen Sui, has caused him too much trouble. Now, all he needs to do is to find trouble for her.It takes seven inches to hit a snake. He really understands what this woman's weakness is.

A sternness flashed in his eyes, and a grin appeared on his face.He nodded to a few people from the Tang Sect beside him, and said:

"You guys, go and stop the pursuers!"

After giving the order, he continued to unfold his figure and ran towards Yinhan Gate.

Facing the people of the Tang Sect rushing towards them, Shen Sui snorted coldly, rolled up the snow knife in his hand, and rushed into the encirclement of the Tang Sect without slowing down at all.All kinds of hidden weapons struck again, especially poisonous gas and poisonous powder.Shen Sui had been prepared for a long time, and temporarily breathed in the internal energy, not inhaling the outside air, closed his eyes, and pressed his lips tightly, to prevent the poisonous gas and powder from invading himself.At the same time, as if the eyes of the sky were opened, with the eyes closed, the snow knife in his hand had already quickly harvested the lives of three Tangmen disciples, each of them sealed their throats with a knife.

Shen Sui is not a person who loves to kill, but when it comes to critical moments, she will never show mercy.These people are helping the evildoers, using vicious methods, and they already know the way to death.She will not let them go easily.

It was the first time for Shen Sui to release the greatest power of the snow knife. Under her full power, the extremely beautiful snow-white large horizontal knife was like the strongest soldier in the fairy world, with incomparable sharpness , the running trajectory without warning, the terrible speed, the tricky angle, everything makes people feel hopeless.

After three breaths of contact with the encirclement of Tang Sect, Shen Sui rushed out of the encirclement first, and took the lives of seven disciples of Tang Sect by the way.For the rest, she handed over to her disciples.She still has to go after Yin Yuyue, she knows exactly what this man wants to do at this moment.Shen Sui wants to see how Yin Yuyue can break through under such circumstances.

She chased Yin Yuyue all the way, and the two of them ran along the top of the city, one after the other, towards the east, past the bustling Yinhan Gate, until they reached the easternmost wall of Daming Palace, and then turned to the north, Yin Yuyue unexpectedly Are you also planning to go to the northeast corner of Daming Palace?

Right on target!Shen Sui couldn't help showing a smile.

But soon, Shen Sui frowned.Because she saw Yin Yuyue in front of him suddenly moved strangely, he was undressing while running, the outermost robe was quickly taken off by him, and Shen Sui saw a pair of clothes appearing behind him. An extremely strange mechanism, like the wings of a bat shrunk and folded behind, tightly attached to his back.The wings were so thin that they couldn't be seen with the clothes on.

Shen Sui secretly thought it was bad, this guy actually planned to...

Yin Yuyue had already run to the vicinity of the archery tower in the northeast corner of Daming Palace in the blink of an eye. He suddenly stopped and said to Shen Sui with a grinning smile:

"Yin Ziji, if you have the ability to catch up with me, I will be defeated willingly and let you handle it."

After finishing speaking, he jumped onto the battlements and faced Shen Sui.

Shen Sui stepped up his steps, ran towards him with all his strength, and shouted: "Old thief, if you have the ability to stay!"

Yin Yuyue just laughed maniacally, raised his hand to grab the skin under his neck, and tore off the camouflage on his face fiercely, the clouds scattered with the wind, and at dawn and dark night, the blazing fire from the top of the city reflected his figure.A handsome man with silver hair appeared in front of Shen Sui.The man's dark eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and the expression on his face was filled with indescribable disgust, as if he was this Yangshi Shura, covered in blood and without a trace of humanity.

"Yin Ziji, your wife and daughter, I accept it with a smile, hahahahaha..." While laughing wildly, the old thief who had lived for more than a hundred years fell backwards and jumped off the wall.Shen Sui rushed forward, his right fingertips were only an inch away, and he was able to catch the hem of his clothes, but he just missed it, just watched Yin Yuyue fly down the city wall, twisted in mid-air, spread the wings behind his back, and glided into the wind , fly to the distance.

Shen Sui panted, standing at the head of the city in the northeast corner.Looking at Yin Yuyue's receding figure in the sky, her eyes were heavy, but she didn't look very upset and anxious.

The east is already white, and the orange-red light is struggling to break through the dark night sky.Shen Sui calmly took out the arrows from the quiver behind his back, tied them with gunpowder, ignited the fuze, drew his bow and set the arrows, and with one arm full of the moon, he shot fiercely into the sky.

A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops meet!

Outside the city, Li Jinyue, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the ringing arrow, laughed loudly, and shouted:

"Send troops!"

"Woo~", the horn blew continuously, and the [-] troops rushed towards the Xuanwu Gate like a flood.

The author has something to say: Don't worry, old thief Yin won't survive two chapters.Post it first, catch bugs later, I hope it won't wait for a high-level review.
