Chapter 1074 Fierce battle!
At this moment, they suddenly heard a burst of shouting from behind them. Immediately, the city guards who had originally planned to encircle them from behind suddenly let out shrill screams.
Ye Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
He turned around hurriedly and saw a group of people suddenly rushing out and cutting off the soldiers guarding the city in one fell swoop!
That is——
Ye Zheng suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the battle situation in front of him. Finally, he saw a tall and familiar figure in the crowd. Although there was chaos around him, he was the only one who always had an unshakable aura as solid as a mountain, as if no matter how strong the wind and waves were, they could not shake him.
It’s Zhu Feng!
Ye Zheng couldn't believe his eyes.
Wasn't there howling all around? Hadn't there already been fighting at the west city gate? Why was Zhu Feng here?
And why did he suddenly come from behind and intercept these soldiers guarding the city? !
He was unable to react for a moment and could only stare blankly at the people in front of him who seemed to have descended from the sky like divine soldiers.
At this moment, Zhu Xuan on the other side was as stunned as he was.
Compared to Ye Zheng, he was even more incredulous.
How is that possible?
The horn sound from the west gate could not be a lie. It was because they were under a major attack that the horn was blown. That was why he ordered all the soldiers in the city, including the guards of the palace, to gather at the west gate, just to catch Zhu Feng who was "making a feint to the east and attacking in the west".
But, he actually appeared here.
Could it be that—
This is his "diversionary tactic"? !
At this moment, Zhu Feng
Looking more closely at the people around him, there were only about ten people, including the Jinyiwei commander Li Bushang, who had extraordinary skills and whom he had met at the great altar, and the provincial judge Wen Ye, who had left his house with Li Bushang, and about ten other people, who were agile and powerful as tigers. They were obviously the elite following them.
The appearance of this group of people not only disrupted his battle plan, but also the soldiers defending the city originally wanted to encircle Ye Zheng and his men from behind, but were suddenly obstructed by them and caught off guard, and fell into their control in an instant.
In a short while, a large area had fallen.
Zhu Xuan trembled violently.
I see!
He had calculated that they would make some moves in the city, so he specially dispatched more personnel to various checkpoints in Changqing City, and gave these people an order that if any city gate was attacked, a horn would be sounded immediately, and as soon as they heard the horn, they would rush to support with all their strength.
The purpose is to capture Zhu Feng.
Whether we capture him alive or fight to the death, we must not let him leave Changqing City.
But--
He actually figured out my plan.
I'm afraid that he has already known that I had just come out from Prince Ning's Mansion with a large group of people to pursue Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu. He also knows that he has more people lurking in the city, waiting to catch him at any time.
So, he took advantage of this!
He dispatched most of his men to attack the west gate of Changqing City. As soon as the horn sounded on that side, the soldiers who were lying in ambush along the way, as well as the guards of Prince Ning's Mansion, would rush over to provide support.
However, he came to the East Gate with only the elite soldiers around him.
He didn't even take action immediately, but suddenly appeared when he thought that a large number of troops would rush to the west gate to support him and they would definitely be able to capture him, so he was concentrating on dealing with Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu.
It was a risky move, but it hit him in one go!
This is his "feint to the east and attack in the west" strategy!
Unexpectedly, he still guessed it right!
I didn't expect that after all my calculations, I still couldn't outsmart him!
"Zhu-Feng-!"
He gritted his teeth and uttered these two words.
At this moment, in the chaos of the army, Zhu Feng turned around and looked at him coldly.
Although it was just a glance, his pupils were deep and dark. At this moment, no emotion could be seen in his eyes, but it was like a thunderbolt, hitting Zhu Xuan's heart heavily. He was originally riding on the horse, but at this moment his body couldn't help but shake, and he almost fell off the horse.
Shi Yiru and the others behind him were so frightened by the sudden appearance of this group of people that they lost their reaction. Suddenly he shook and everyone was startled.
"Your Majesty!"
"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as these people spoke, those who had already rushed to the front and were fighting with Ye Zheng's troops became a little panicked. After all, such a group of people suddenly appeared in the chaotic army. Although their number was not large, it still made people feel uneasy.
Moreover, this group of people is not simple.
Although there were not many people defending the city, there were still about a hundred of them. They were suddenly cut off by them. After a burst of screams, only corpses were seen on the ground.
They are all soldiers defending the city!
These people are so ferocious. I wonder how many of them are lying in ambush in the dark. If we kill them all, will they all end up like this?
When these people thought about it, they couldn't help but soften their stance, which had a great impact on morale. In addition, Zhu Xuan behind them suddenly showed abnormal behavior, which made them even more uneasy.
Some people have already begun to have the idea of retreating.
At this moment, Zhu Feng waved his hand and said, "Open the city gate!"
Just now, when he looked at Zhu Xuan, he was just trying to confirm his location and how many men were around him. But now it seemed that he had indeed gathered most of the soldiers in the city to the west gate to provide support.
But here, there are still hundreds of people.
Although the group of people he brought with him were elite, together with Ye Zheng's troops, there were less than a hundred people. Taking a risky move could indeed give him some advantage, but if the battle continued, the outcome would be reversed!
So, leaving the city is what they have to do.
At a command, several guards from the imperial camp knocked down all the soldiers guarding the city and immediately rushed forward to open the heavy bolt on the city gate.
At this time, Zhu Xuan also came to his senses.
Zhu Feng doesn't have many men around him. If he is allowed to leave the city at this time, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains.
He immediately stood up and shouted to the people around him: "Charge!"
Upon hearing his voice, the surrounding soldiers immediately became brave again and rushed forward. Ye Zheng had already understood Zhu Feng's strategy by this time, and led his troops to block them here and prevent them from rushing to the city gate.
In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Although Ye Zheng's men fought bravely, Zhu Xuan's troops outnumbered them several times. Gradually, they got closer and closer and were almost about to rush in front of Zhu Feng.
Finally, at this moment, the heavy bolt was removed.
There was only a heavy and hoarse sound, and the door was pushed open. Zhu Xuan gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Kill him!"
