Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 669: Unrest (5)
"My Lady,"
The trembling sound of the ground and the sound of thunderous footsteps came into my ears, Liang Erlang's complexion also changed, and he hurriedly whispered: "This movement is wrong!"
Lu Mingyu naturally heard it too.
She frowned and said solemnly: "Pass my order, and leave 500 people in each of the other three palace gates, and all the rest of the royal guards will immediately come to Donghua Gate."
"Also, prepare the archers."
Liang Erlang immediately took the order and passed the orders down one by one.
A small half of the archers in the Royal Forest Army gathered behind the palace gate, and most of them spread out, using wooden ladders to climb up the palace wall.
It was just evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the palace wall. One by one, the guards of the King's Forest in soft armor crouched against the wall, holding their bows.
Liang Erlang was uneasy, so he climbed the wooden ladder and looked into the distance. Soon, the ground trembled intensified, and a black shadow quickly appeared in front of him.
"Niangniang, it's the Meng family army!" Liang Erlang shouted angrily, not knowing whether it was anger or fear, his voice was a little hoarse: "It's the banner of the Meng family army!"
The flag that was flying first, embroidered with the pattern of a tiger, was the military flag of the Meng family army.
Wait, the Fourth Prince and all his personal soldiers are outside the palace gate!
Liang Erlang's expression changed again, and his voice was out of shape: "Niangniang, let someone open the palace gate. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is still outside the palace gate."
Liang Erlang's angry shout was heard by everyone inside and outside the palace gate.
Without waiting for Lu Mingyu to make a sound, the fourth prince who was sitting cross-legged on the ground immediately stood up, and with some strength, he shouted angrily: "No, the palace gate cannot be opened. The enemy army is about to arrive, and it must not be opened. Palace gate!"
At this time, the palace gate must not be opened.
A little dark, if the fourth prince and the Marquis of Guangping hook up in private, once the palace gate is opened and they enter the palace gate together, the disaster of the city gate will be repeated.
Even if the fourth prince is frank, he has nothing to do with the Marquis of Guangping, and it is extremely dangerous to open the palace gate. The palace gate of Donghuamen is very heavy, and it takes eight people to work together to push it open. Wait for hundreds of personal soldiers to enter the palace gate, and then close it, at least it will take a tea time or two.
And the men of the Meng family are already rushing over.
It's too late!
As far as I can see, there is darkness. Roughly speaking, there are 10,000 to 20,000 people. The fourth prince is only five hundred personal soldiers, so wouldn't he be sent to death for nothing?
What should I do?
Somehow, a thought flashed through Liang Erlang's mind.
A grown-up prince, two died and one was imprisoned. The only threat to the throne now is the Fourth Prince. The princess, the princess, should not want to take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate the fourth prince...
The thought flashed by, and Liang Erlang shuddered.
I heard Lu Mingyu's order in a deep voice: "The archers are preparing on the wall. As soon as the Meng family's army enters the range, they will immediately fire arrows. Those with knives, now go up the wooden ladder."
Liang Erlang was startled and turned his head to look over.
I saw that Lu Mingyu had climbed the wooden ladder, and after a few dodges, he climbed the palace wall.
Liang Erlang's scalp is about to explode: "Niangniang, what are you doing?"
What to do? Isn't it obvious?
Lu Mingyu glanced at Liang Erlang: "Did you think that I would watch my fourth brother go to death?"
Liang Erlang's face was hot behind his ears, and before he could open his mouth to argue, Lu Mingyu had already jumped and jumped off the palace wall. This palace wall is about two feet high. Lu Mingyu jumped down and landed lightly and silently.
Don't mention Liang Erlang, even the fourth prince was stunned: "Second sister-in-law! What are you doing here?"
Lu Mingyu glared at the fourth prince, and said in a nonchalant manner: "With just your manpower, how can you stop the Marquis of Guangping! I can still see if you will die!"
"Don't be stunned, order quickly and prepare everyone for the challenge!"
While speaking, several people jumped off the wooden ladder. Their light-weight skills were far inferior to Lu Mingyu's. Some people stumbled when they jumped, and others shook their legs.
However, no one dared to speak at this time. One by one, they continued to jump down.
Meng Jiajun's men had already rushed 100 meters away.
Liang Erlang rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and shouted angrily: "Release the arrows!"
With an order, the archers loosened their bowstrings. Hundreds of sharp arrows whizzed through the air and fell like raindrops.
Suddenly, there was a scream, and one fell down.
Next is the second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow!
The arrows were fired in unison, temporarily blocking the Meng family's rushing footsteps. The kings guards who climbed the wooden ladder got faster and faster, and continued to jump down one by one. Get together soon.
With more people, I feel more at ease.
The fourth prince took a deep breath and whispered, "Second sister-in-law, I will listen to you what to do next."
In war, there can only be one general.
Lu Mingyu did her part, and she was not polite to the Fourth Prince, she nodded slightly: "Alright."
I didn't say how she raised the volume, and her voice clearly entered everyone's ears: "The Meng family has many soldiers, but we are few, so we will meet the enemy with a single-line formation!"
The so-called one-character array, as the name suggests ~IndoMTL.com~, is that everyone forms a long line to face the enemy together. It is generally used for hand-to-hand combat. Right now, the fourth prince's personal soldiers and the guards of the royal forest had never practiced together, and could only use this simplest formation.
Furthermore, behind is the palace gate, there is no way to retreat, only a deadly fight to the end.
The hearts of the people were surging, and they shouted in unison: "Yes."
Then, quickly draw a knife and form a formation.
The person behind will take a few steps back, in case the person in front falls and can rush forward to block it at any time.
The fourth prince took a deep breath and was about to rush forward with the knife, but Lu Mingyu grabbed his right wrist: "Fourth brother, don't be impatient!"
At this time, how could he be quiet?
The fourth prince suddenly looked at Lu Mingyu: "Second sister-in-law, I will lead people to meet the enemy!"
Lu Mingyu said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, let's have a look first. Find the whereabouts of the Marquis of Guangping!"
As long as the Marquis of Guangping is killed, the Meng family will be defeated without a fight!
The fourth prince understood instantly, nodded and looked around. However, it was already dusk at this time, the light was dim, and in the darkness, how could one find out who was the Marquis of Guangping?
Lu Mingyu looked intently in the direction of the military flag. His eyes quickly fell on a figure.
It's too far away to see the face, and even the figure is not so clear. However, this man was tall and strong, and his aura was different from ordinary people.
Whoever possesses such an aura is not the Marquis of Guangping, but must also be a general in the army.
Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed, and he took the bows and arrows of the soldiers around him, pulled the bow in one hand, and pulled out the sharp arrow in the other hand and placed it on the bowstring. He focused his eyes, held his breath, and counted in his heart.
One!
The long arrow swishes out.
In the middle of the man's forehead.
The man was hit by an arrow in the forehead and immediately fell down. There was a sudden confusion in the Meng family army.
The fourth prince was overjoyed, and was about to speak when he saw Lu Mingyu shoot an arrow again.
