Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 305 Step by Step Calculation
"Protect Your Highness!" Tuhu yelled angrily, rushed in front of Ma Ning, drew his sword and swung down the arrows flying towards him, taking advantage of the opportunity to cover Ma Ning and retreat between the soldiers.

The crowd formed a wall with shields and protected Ma Ning in it.

Arrows shot from all directions in a steady stream, and there was a dense layer of arrows on the shield in an instant.

No matter how fast the soldiers moved, they only had two hands. In addition to the darkness of the night and the noise in their ears, it was impossible to tell the direction of the arrows. In just a short while, many people were shot and died.

Slowly, the shield could no longer resist the greater impact, and an arrow flew over, pierced the shield, and killed one of them.

The shield wall immediately exposed its flaws.

Seeing this, Tuhu got off his horse, grabbed the shield from a soldier, and rushed towards Ma Ning.The bow and arrow hit his calf, he ignored the pain, squatted down and blocked the gap with his shield.

On the top of the tower, Baili Xingchen watched this scene with satisfaction.

Zhengyangmen is only a few steps away from the imperial palace. A fight here can reach the ears of the emperor of Southern Chu in a short while. When the imperial army is dispatched, more than half of Ma Ning's army will be lost, and it will be difficult to do anything else.

Calculating that the time was almost up, he raised his hand and gestured to Xuan Tian who was behind him.

Xuan Tian took the order and flew down the stairs.

"Do it!" The woman's voice without a trace of emotion was extremely cold in the dark night. After the words fell, Long Yinwei, who had already sneaked into the inner side of the city gate, rose into the sky with a short blade in his hand.Dark shadows flashed across the city wall in the night, as fast as ghosts.

Before they made a sound, they had already boarded the tower.

Xuan Tian's petite figure landed in the center of the city tower, with his head raised, he threw a few hidden weapons in his hand.The city guard who was standing on the crenel looking down didn't say a word, then fell to the ground and lost his life.

At the same time, Long Yinwei had launched an offensive, quickly sweeping towards the two wings in a fan shape.

The cold light was accompanied by the faint sound of breaking the wall when the sharp instrument pierced into the person's body.Those Long Yinwei were like sickles, quickly harvesting the lives of the archers.Wherever he went, no one was spared.

The arrows fired at Ma Ning gradually thinned out, and finally the offensive stopped.

"Your Highness, they stopped." Tu Hu said, carefully removed the hedgehog-like shield, and stood up.There was a stabbing pain in his calf. He lowered his head and saw an arrow stuck in his leg.

It seemed that the arrow was stuck in the bone, and every time he moved it was painful. He gritted his teeth, squatted down and pulled out the arrow forcefully.

"Are you okay?" After the soldiers retreated, Ma Ning also stood up.

"No problem." Tu Hu replied, tearing off a piece of cloth from his clothes, and quickly tied it on the wound.

The city gate opened.

"It seems that we came too fast." Ma Ning said, sighing in his heart, he was trapped in the rain of arrows just now, he almost thought that this uprising was going to fail!But the Baili Xingchen dispatched for this operation were all first-class masters, so how could they be half a beat slower?

He still didn't know at this time that it was Baili Xingchen himself who brought people to Nanchu.

"Your Highness, wait a moment, and the subordinates go to count the troops." Tuhu briefly treated the wounds on his body, and then began to count the remaining strength.

"The sooner the better." Ma Ning said.

The sleeping hall is not too far away from the Zhengyang Gate, the movement just now must have alarmed the royal father, the longer you delay here, the more time you have to prepare for the imperial army, he has to rush into the palace before the imperial army arrives to force the imperial father to abdicate !
