Chapter 566: Within 566 Manor
Chapter 566 566 Inside the Manor
King Jiang Xian of Qi was sitting in the room. Hearing the gunfire outside, his face was full of displeasure. He never thought that one day, his enemy would be so close to him.
He has always thought that he was a good king, and he has always been proud of his ability to control the court so that his ministers cannot covet him at all.
He really never dreamed that one day he would be beaten so badly by his southern neighbor, because more than a year ago, his southern neighbor was still the weak Zheng State!
The Zheng State was crushed to the ground by the Mirage State. The country was exhausted and the people were in poverty. They were about to be divided between the Qi State and the Chu State farther south.
But now, less than two years have passed, and the weak Zheng State has just changed its name, from a weak Zheng to a strong Tang!
How can this be accepted? How could that mediocre Prince Zheng be compared with him, Jiang Xian?
Just when his head was full of thoughts about these things, there was a sudden explosion so close that he almost fell off the chair.
But before he could stabilize his body, another explosion came, once again frightening him to the point of trembling.
"What's going on?" He, who was already feeling tightness in his chest, asked sharply and unbearably. He wanted to cover up his fear with rage, but there was a strong flavor of cowardice in his voice.
Before anyone could answer him, an even more outrageous explosion shook the earth and Jiang Xian felt the stool under his **** tremble with the earth.
His face turned earth-colored, and he felt that his breathing had become heavier. He clutched his chest and stared at the door with cold and ferocious eyes, like a wild beast.
No one knew what happened, and the prime minister who was guarding Jiang Xian was also panicked. He did not expect that those hateful Tang people could attack so close to the manor so quickly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The commander of the horse regiment responsible for the security of the manor stumbled into the house holding a pistol in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
His actions frightened the maids and officials hiding in the corner to tremble, and some of the timid ones began to scream.
Captain Ma, who also felt that his appearance was a bit scary, quickly restrained himself, knelt down on one knee and prostrated in front of Jiang Xian: "Your Majesty! The enemy has blown up the courtyard wall, and the forbidden army is about to be unable to withstand it. Your Majesty, you must go! "
“Is it definitely safe on the road?” The prime minister also wanted to leave, but what he was most afraid of was that Jiang Xian would not be able to return to the royal city.
“I don’t know whether the road is safe or not. I only know that if we delay for a while, it will definitely be unsafe here!” Commander Ma replied sadly.
He was quite sure that he could hold on here for a while, at least for a few hours, to see the surrounding situation clearly, and then decide whether the king should stay or go.
But he never expected that the enemy's fighting power would be so strong. It only took less than 20 minutes to reach the vicinity of the courtyard wall.
What's even more frightening is that these Tang troops have machine guns, fierce firepower, and very good individual soldiers. He feels that these are the elite of the Tang army.
In fact, he guessed it right. These paratroopers were all Tang Mo's treasures. They were all top students who could read and write, and their training was quite complex and cumbersome. They were all selected according to the standards of officers.
If he hadn't wanted to train his troops, block the bridge and end the war as soon as possible, Tang Mo wouldn't even be willing to put this troops into battle.
“In this case, Your Majesty, please leave as soon as possible!” The Prime Minister gritted his teeth and decided to live up to Jiang Xian’s trust and cultivation: “I will stay here, and no matter what, we cannot let the troops here pursue Your Majesty!”
Jiang Xian was moved by the prime minister's words. As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. The prime minister who can step forward at such a critical moment and risk his life is definitely a loyal minister among loyal ministers.
So Jiang Xian grabbed the prime minister's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Why is this! This place is dangerous and there is only one general left..."
His words made the surrounding generals nervous. At this time, those who were named and stayed behind would probably die for their country.
Seeing that many generals avoided looking at him, Jiang Xian felt that it was really commendable for the prime minister to face the difficulties.
Things are sometimes so embarrassing. The minions who are willing to stay can't calm down the situation, and I don't feel relieved. Those who are really useful and talented generals voluntarily stay, and people are reluctant to let go...
Just when Jiang Xian was extremely entangled, gunfire rang out from a closer place. Looking at it, the area is about to turn into a battlefield.
“Captain Ma! Hurry up and lead people to resist! Don’t let the Tang people get close to your Majesty!” The Prime Minister turned around and took Jiang Xian’s hand, and dragged Jiang Xian out of the house with a strong force.
A group of generals and ministers gathered around Jiang Xian, and seven or eight of the guards drew out the shell guns produced by Cyric. The scene was extremely chaotic for a while.
At the other end of the manor, Xiang Ziyu had already crossed the courtyard wall. He held a submachine gun and stepped forward step by step. Then he saw a paratrooper kneeling on one knee, checking on his fallen comrades.
“He was shot in the head, there is nothing we can do.” The paratrooper stood up, saw Xiang Ziyu, and shook his head. The paratroopers who rushed in have taken control of the courtyard. There are corpses of Qi Jun everywhere nearby. The squad leader and his people are guarding the gate of the courtyard, and the remaining people are sorting out their ammunition.
"It's very chaotic outside! I'm not sure how many Qi troops there are! In short, be ready for battle!" The squad leader saw Xiang Ziyu and ordered: "It may be chaotic in a while, just follow me!"
“Okay!” Xiang Ziyu nodded and raised his weapon, indicating that he was ready for battle!
“Kill!” The squad leader rushed out of the yard with a Thompson submachine gun and started shooting at the Qi army outside.
The Qi army, which was well prepared, also began to fight back. The bullet hit the wall behind the squad leader, leaving bullet marks and flying sparks.
Xiang Ziyu and other paratroopers also rushed out, holding weapons and started firing. The firepower of the two paratroopers instantly overwhelmed the Qi soldiers on the other side. The other side fled in panic, and some raised their hands to surrender.
Xiang Ziyu did not pay attention to the surrendered Qi army, but rushed over with weapons in hand. Another paratrooper passing by fired a shot at the surrendered Qi army, killing him on the spot.
mashing forward further, Xiang Ziyu's eyes suddenly opened up. There were military vehicles parked here, as well as maids, waiters, officials, and family members crowded beside the military vehicles.
There were also quite a few Qi troops, and everyone was making a fuss. Some were carrying valuables to the car, and some were torn off the car by the soldiers because of their lowliness.
At this time, several Qi soldiers carrying large wooden boxes happened to pass by. They saw Xiang Ziyu holding a submachine gun, and Xiang Ziyu also happened to see them.
“Tang people!” Several Qi soldiers were startled and shouted as they dropped the wooden boxes. The wooden box was smashed to pieces, and the gold coins inside were scattered out, many of which were still rolling on the ground.
Xiang Ziyu didn't even look at the dazzling gold. He pulled the trigger and started shooting at everyone in front of him.
He knew that the more such a situation happened, the less pity he could have. God knows which of these officials’ wives had a pistol for self-defense hidden in their pocket?
He is afraid of death, so he insists on letting his enemies die first, so that he can live longer!
“Chug, tug, tug!” The submachine gun’s muzzle spit out tongues of flame, and the Qi people in front of them suddenly fell on their backs.
The officials who were fighting for a car just now covered their chests and let out a scream like a slaughtering pig. The Qi officer who was still domineering just now overturned the truck and fell heavily to the ground.
Bloody red flowers bloomed on the body of the scurrying waiter, and the maid who stretched her neck and screamed was hit by a bullet and closed her mouth instantly.
The whole scene instantly changed from chaos in one sense to chaos in another sense. As more Tang Army paratroopers joined the strafing team, there were not many Qi people left here.
Xiang Ziyu, who had exhausted the magazine, threw away the empty magazine, took out a new magazine from his chest and inserted it into the gun. This time he didn't bend down to retrieve his magazine, because he knew that if they really won this battle, they would have plenty of time to retrieve the lost equipment.
“Continue the attack!” The squad leader stepped over the body of a Qi soldier with his weapon in hand and walked towards the courtyard gate at the other end.
The paratroopers who had replaced their magazines immediately followed, and Xiang Ziyu also stepped on the corpses and broke through the yard full of blood and corpses.
In the cab of a Binghan brand car imported from the Ice Empire, the driver sat in the driver's seat with his eyes wide open, and blood was still flowing from the hole in his chest.
There were many bullet holes in the body of the car, and the bodies of many maids were lying strewn beside the car. They were crowded here just now, and many Qi soldiers used them as shields.
Xiang Ziyu didn't find anyone alive until he reached the door. He leaned against the wall of the courtyard and heard that the courtyard next door seemed to be even more noisy.
What he didn't know was that on the other side of several courtyard walls, King Jiang Xian of Qi was being supported by the prime minister and running away towards the place where the carriage was parked. The straight-line distance between them was actually less than fifty meters.
“There are a lot of people next door!” Xiang Ziyu said to the monitor who was leaning on the other side of the door: “They are waiting for us!”
“Then let the grenade explore the way first!” The squad leader took out a grenade, and Xiang Ziyu also took out a grenade.
The paratrooper facing the courtyard door also took out a grenade. The three of them looked at each other, pulled the tab at the same time, and then released the safety.
Xiang Ziyu took two steps back, used a little force and threw the grenade to a farther distance. The paratrooper facing the gate ran hard and threw the grenade as far away as possible.
The squad leader did not use any force and just threw the grenade to the other side of the courtyard wall. They tried their best to use three grenades to cover as many positions as possible.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three grenades exploded next door almost at the same time. At the same time, the squad leader and Xiang Ziyu also kicked open the wooden door in front of them.
