At Dao Zi's command, the Divine Eagle Guards quickly closed in on the troops that had come to support the First Prince.
Their guess was correct; the one who rushed over was none other than the eldest prince's cousin, Zhao Gou, a captain in the Imperial Guard.
Because there were many people on the streets today, his group was originally assigned to maintain order in the southern part of the city.
The initial agreement was that the fireworks at the end of the lantern festival would serve as the signal to begin the operation, and they should have arrived half an hour early according to the original plan.
However, those who originally planned to attack the residences of important officials and the Crown Prince's residence mostly came up empty-handed, and had to settle for second best by targeting the shops and crowds along the street.
As a result, half of Kyoto and Chengdu fell into chaos, which naturally affected their itinerary.
After they pushed and shoved their way through the chaotic crowd, they gathered several groups of rebel soldiers who had been causing trouble everywhere and rushed over together. The two groups together numbered about three thousand people. By the time they arrived, Yongxing Street had become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
So they took a detour via Suzaku Avenue next door.
This main street is right behind the main street where Pei Ji and his group fought. The two streets are separated by a large four-courtyard mansion. You can meet them by going through an alley.
Meanwhile, the Divine Eagle Guards quickly entered the alley, divided into five groups, and intercepted the people inside.
Daozi brought a hundred men; sixty were in the alley, and the remaining forty were on the walls on the left and right sides.
Although it's called an alley, the distance between the two houses is not short, about four or five meters.
Only one house in the alley had a pair of large red lanterns hanging in front of it; the rest of the alley was dark and gloomy.
Daozi bent his ten fingers and whistled. Moments later, fireworks went off in the house.
Colorful fireworks exploded in the sky, their flickering flames illuminating the darkness of the alleyway.
The people opposite had just entered the alley when they saw Daozi and his group. However, upon seeing that there were only about a hundred of them, they didn't take them seriously at all. Zhao Gou, the leader, sneered and made a gesture, and a group of men carrying knives charged over.
But Daozi beat them to it and ordered the guns to fire.
After holing up in the mountains for half a year, the group of Divine Eagle Guards were finally able to come out and test their skills. They were both excited and thrilled, trying their best to suppress their emotions and reminding themselves again and again to stay calm and not get too excited or they might miss their target.
Only then did they manage to regain their fighting spirit, hold their breath, and begin a one-sided, overwhelming urban warfare.
Their formidable strength required no tactics; they didn't even bother with any special formations. They simply raised their guns and fired, killing whoever they aimed at.
The group that had just rushed out had only run a few steps when they inexplicably collapsed and died.
Meanwhile, people around Zhao Gou kept falling down.
Aside from the clattering of fireworks and firecrackers, all I could hear were the screams of the people around me.
The key point is that he had no idea what had happened.
But Daozi and his men never stopped shooting from the moment they started.
The people on Zhao Gou's side were standing close enough that even with their eyes closed, they wouldn't miss, so it wouldn't be surprising if they skewered candied hawthorns.
Seeing that the person blocking his way was about to die, Zhao Gou grabbed two soldiers next to him and used them as shields. However, as soon as he grabbed them, they inexplicably collapsed and died.
This happened several times, and Zhao Gou was terrified. It was as if there was a deadly ghost in front of him, and if he showed his face, he would die. So he ran back desperately. When the others saw that their leader had run away, they also rushed to escape for their lives.
And so, the rescue team, which the eldest prince had entrusted with his most trusted and trump card, disbanded...
Daozi and his team's victory felt like a dream; they couldn't believe it.
"Have we repelled the rebel reinforcements?"
"Probably! They've all disappeared."
The fat cat asked in confusion.
Daozi patted the gun in his hand and sighed.
"This thing is fucking amazing!"
Clean up the battlefield, check the ground for eggshells, pick up the clean ones. We can't expose these things; if someone targets them, they won't even know how they died!
After Daozi finished speaking, everyone immediately stepped forward to clean up the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Xie Yushu used guns to blockade the shops around the lantern festival. The rebels all fell within three to five meters of the shops, and not a single one was able to break through the defenses.
By this time, everyone outside had already fled. The rebels tried several times but couldn't get through. After several charges, many of them died inexplicably, but they didn't even manage to touch a hair on their target.
If we knew how those people lying on the ground died, it would be better. The key is that we have no idea what killed them. How can we fight this battle?
So when another person was shot in the head as soon as they rushed out, the psychological defenses of the others collapsed instantly, and the more vulnerable ones ran away crying and screaming.
Many people were so scared they wet their pants, running while looking back, feeling like they were being watched by a ghost, their backs tingling with fear!
