Turbulent Times Chapter 1667: Thousands of troops and horses kill the number one (1)
(Thank you very much for the monthly support and encouragement of ‘Xcites’!)
In midsummer, in the early morning of Chang'an City, it was drizzling.
The cool rain washed away all the blood that had flowed in Chang'an City in the past few days without leaving any traces.
The No. 1 Assassin King walked silently on Suzaku Street, heading towards the imperial city.
If someone looks closely, he will find that he is walking in an absolute straight line, and the size of each step is exactly the same, as if it has been measured.
I don't know if it's because of the rain, or because too many people have died in Chang'an City these days, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are extraordinarily cold, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally someone walks by in a hurry soldiers patrolling the city.
The rain has not become heavier, it just falls like this.
Drips fell on the tile backs of the houses in Chang'an City, in the bluestone alleys, on the small bridges, and on the graves of corpses.
No matter where it falls, the raindrops always sound very rhythmic, slow and beautiful, but never change the melody.
Although the No. 1 Assassin King's gaze was always in front of him, some scenes of houses and shops on both sides still fell into his eyes.
When he saw some shops and houses with glass windows from time to time, his eyes flickered.
"These are created by No. 2 and Wang Junlin. They shouldn't have appeared in this era." A person can see the thoughts in his heart, or his attitude towards this matter.
In the past few years, as Fan Yang glass has gradually become popular all over the world, glass has gradually become popular among aristocratic families, small and medium nobles, large, medium and small landlords, and wealthy businessmen.
Many of the aristocratic families and nobles who followed or put their treasures on Li Yuan moved to Chang'an City with Li Yuan. On the one hand, they thought it was undoubtedly the safest to be with Li Yuan in this troubled world. On the other hand, it was because everyone knew that Li Yuan would eventually establish a country in Chang'an Dingdu and proclaim himself emperor.
This will be the center of the future world.
It was precisely because of this that after Li Shimin sealed off Chang'an City, he almost wiped out all these powerful families, leaving only the children who were officials and generals in other counties and counties in Guanzhong.
Wearing a unique tight black suit, No. 1 Killer King walked in the rain. Although he was wearing a hat to cover some of the rain, but because his walking was too uniform and straight, it gave people a very strange feeling. I don’t know. Unknowingly, it attracted the surprised eyes of the people sheltering from the rain on both sides of the street and the common people in the shops.
Especially, the target of this person is clearly the imperial palace, which has attracted countless people's wild speculations, because the remnants of the powerful family have been trying to sneak into the imperial palace to assassinate Li Shimin for revenge these days, but in fact there are more It's a self-inflicted trap.
The rain dripped down the edge of the black hat, and fell on the arms and back of No. 1 Killer King, quickly soaking his clothes, but he didn't seem to feel any discomfort or notice.
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, followed by a loud thunder, which made many people sheltering from the rain let out a soft exclamation. Some children were frightened by the thunder and cried. cries.
After the lightning and thunder, the rain in midsummer gradually became heavier.
The speed of No. 1 Killer King remained unchanged, and he continued to walk in the heavy rain.
Under the strange and curious gazes of people on both sides of the street, he walked all the way to the end of Suzaku Avenue, the square to the south of the imperial city.
The wet rain dripped down the bamboo hat on his head and landed on his clothes.
His clothes were completely wet, which made his body surface temperature a little low, but when he thought about the kind of jade he had been looking for, Li Shimin finally found it for him, something in his body began to involuntarily Accelerating the operation is like the heart of people under the excitement starts to beat faster.
However, he still noticed that the inside and outside of the imperial city today seemed to be different from the previous two days, but he didn't think too much about it, because it was an eventful time, and it was normal for Li Shimin to mobilize more troops in the imperial city. Although the powerful families in the city have been exterminated, the power hidden in the city has not been completely eradicated, especially those Guanlong nobles who have been operating in Chang'an City for many years and are deeply rooted. It is not so easy to clean them up. One of the reasons why Li Yuan was hesitant to do anything before.
However, No. 1 Assassin King still stopped in front of the imperial city, then raised his head slightly, and glanced at the imperial palace, which was not in misty rain.
After watching for a while, he was about to continue walking forward, when suddenly, he turned his head and looked to the right.
Then there was a rumbling sound, and the ground trembled slightly.
It was the sound of at least a thousand cavalry galloping.
At this moment, the No. 1 Assassin King's eyes flickered violently, and then he felt the aura of danger.
Because, a cavalry of a thousand men charged towards him alone.
If the No. 1 Killer King in the past would have withdrawn immediately, as long as it wasn't a mortal encirclement, he would have plenty of means to leave.
However, he hesitated today because Li Shimin said that he found that kind of jade. Although Li Shimin may be lying to him, this jade is too important to him, even so important that if he doesn't get the jade again, it may be true. is going to die.
He has a few days to live.
So, instead of leaving, he stood still, staring at the cavalry rushing towards him.
No one can resist the charge of thousands of elite cavalry from the front.
Unless there is really a **** in this world.
Of course there is no **** in this world, but for ordinary people, the No. 1 Killer King can be regarded as a god.
So, he could resist, he didn't run away.
The No. 1 Assassin King still stood there motionless.
It seems that he didn't see the cavalry that was charging at him with all its strength.
At this time, the wind and rain were still raging, and endless rain fell from the sky, constantly washing the No. 1 Killer King, but no one noticed that his previously soaked clothes had dried out at some point.
"Kill!"
The captain who led the thousand cavalry had a murderous look on his face, but as the distance to the target continued to get closer, his eyes narrowed slightly. He believed that even if there were three or four masters in the breaking stage in front of him, he would be able to kill them with these thousand fine cavalry, and of course many of the thousand cavalry would die in the end.
However, at this time, he clearly felt a piercing chill from the target in front of him, and the countless fights on the battlefield made him feel a kind of danger from the target.
However, this chill and danger didn't make him feel the slightest fear, instead it aroused his monstrous fighting and killing intent, even a hint of madness.
There is a reason why Li Shimin sent him to lead a thousand cavalry to fight the first battle. No one in the world can compare with Li Shimin in terms of employing people.
"Kill!"
A thousand cavalry roared in unison, and the sound shook the sky, resounding throughout Chang'an City.
As soon as the killing sound fell, a thousand cavalry rushed in front of No. 1 Killer King.
After being within the attack range, all the cavalry in the front as long as they could reach the No. 1 Killer King slashed at the opponent with sabers in their hands.
At this moment, a blade of light brightened the rainy sky in front of the imperial city.
Different from Sword God.
The No. 1 Assassin King drew his sword very little, and even drew the sword without making a sound, and there was no scene of the sword glowing and the sword aura flying.
The No. 1 Assassin King just steadily drew out the black rapier at his waist at a speed as fast as magic.
Then, he stabbed out.
His first sword pierced the empty space on one side, but the strange thing was that when the tip of his sword was delivered, the eyes of a war horse automatically hit the tip of his sword.
Under the great pain, the war horse immediately let out a stern neighing, and then went crazy. Not to mention, the knight on his back was thrown off the horse, and a large area was blocked by the cavalry behind. ".
Almost at the moment when the momentum of the charge was blocked and chaos appeared, the figure of No. 1 Killer King appeared like a ghost among the dozen or so horses chasing after him, cleverly avoiding being caught by the others. Risk of cavalry collision.
And after entering the middle of the chasing horses, the second, third, and fourth swords of the No. 1 Killer King... pierced out.
In the violent wind and rain, the speed at which he drew his sword didn't seem very fast, and he didn't even have any wonderful moves, which seemed very ordinary.
However, the strange thing is that every time he handed out the rapier very lightly, the tip of the sword would accurately stab a cavalryman's throat or heart.
There will never be a second time to kill an enemy with one sword, and there are no wounded, only the living and the dead.
It even gives people a feeling that these cavalrymen used their throats to hit the sword tip in the hand of No. 1 Killer King. In fact, even if the cavalry used their own throats to hit the sword tip actively, it is impossible to have such a high accuracy .
Precise, clean, and stable, this is the feeling of No. 1 Killer King when he shoots, very simple.
Simple to the extreme, in fact, it is almost to the extreme.
The charge formation of a thousand cavalry was pierced by No. 1 Killer King. In fact, he was moving within a radius of five meters from the beginning to the end, so to be precise, this is not a piercing. Nearly a hundred corpses were left behind.
From the moment the captain yelled "Kill" to the exit to the No. 1 Killer King stabbing nearly a hundred corpses to death, the end of this wave of charge was only a dozen or so breaths away.
Amidst the rain, the No. 1 Assassin King's body fell to the ground in front of and behind him.
Blood gradually gushed out from the throats of those corpses. Because the wounds were not big, there wasn't much blood at first, but in the end, there was more blood.
