"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1278
The army commanded by Chen Zi'ang walked slowly amidst the cheers of thousands of people, and the atmosphere at the scene was also exceptionally warm, reaching a climax.
The triumphant division was mighty and majestic, and the soldiers of the Qinghe Army, who were fully armed all the way, felt a great sense of honor in the face of cheers, and felt that the bloodshed and sacrifice on the battlefield were worth it!
When the crowd cheered and welcomed the triumphant army, many assassins hidden in the crowd stared at Chen Ziang in the distance, with a stern look on their faces.
The Qinghe Army commanded by Chen Zi'ang swept away powerful enemies from all walks of life, overthrew the decadent and dark Far Eastern Dynasty, and established a new empire.
That's why many people hated Chen Ziang deeply. On weekdays, Chen Ziang was surrounded by army guards, and it was difficult for them to get close.
However, although the Qinghe army is still heavily guarded around, thousands of people have become their good cover. They can approach the road, get close to Chen Ziang, and assassinate him.
Now Chen Ziang is the most powerful person in the empire and the supreme commander of the Qinghe Army. As long as Chen Ziang is killed, the newly established empire will fall apart!
"Do it!"
When Chen Ziang and his group waved their hands to signal to slowly approach, a man with a fierce face suddenly ordered coldly.
The assassins hidden in the welcoming crowd also took out their hidden swords, swords, bows and crossbows one after another.
"Kill the thief chief!"
Hundreds of assassins with sharp knives suddenly burst out of the crowd and rushed towards Chen Ziang's direction.
The people standing in front of these assassins were cut down by sharp blades and fell into a pool of blood before they could figure out what was going on.
"Shhhhhhh!"
Some assassins picked up Qinghe army standard bows and crossbows that they got from no one knew where, and shot arrows in Chen Ziang's direction.
Facing the sudden change, the cheering crowd seemed to explode, screaming and fleeing in all directions.
"There are assassins!"
Li Changqing, the commander of the Ninth Army riding his horse on Chen Zi'ang's flank, was very vigilant. After seeing the commotion on the roadside, he quickly pulled out his knife and raised his arms and shouted.
Several arrows flying towards Chen Ziang were chopped off by Li Changqing, the army commander, with his sword.
Li Changqing, as Chen Ziang's former personal guard captain, although he is now the head of the army, compared with the rest, his reaction speed is much faster.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
Xu Yong, the commander of the Eighth Army, was shot in the arm by an arrow. He grinned in pain, and also drew his sword and shouted.
There was chaos around them, hundreds of assassins with sharp blades had already rushed towards them.
The vigilant Qinghe army soldiers standing by the roadside were smashed into pieces by the panicked and fleeing civilians, and the assassins took advantage of the situation to bully them, and several Qinghe army security soldiers spattered blood on the spot.
"Your Majesty, let's go, there are assassins!"
More than a dozen of Chen Zi'ang's personal guard cavalry who reacted quickly rode forward, guarded them in the center with a human wall, and blocked the roaring arrows with their shields.
"Why panic, it's just a few thieves, just kill them."
Seeing the panic-stricken crowd, Chen Zi'ang's expression was as calm as before, without the slightest panic.
"Changqing, lead someone to destroy them for me!"
Seeing that there were more than 20 personal guards who followed him and were shot by arrows for protecting him, Chen Ziang ordered the ninth army commander Li Changqing murderously.
"No!"
Li Changqing, the head of the Ninth Army, greeted him, and dozens of brothers from the Qinghe Army who had gathered followed him to meet the assassins who rushed forward.
Amidst the clanging of swords and swords, the two sides quickly fought together, screaming and killing, and blood and flesh flying everywhere.
After seeing Chen Ziang being attacked, the soldiers of the Qinghe Army of the brigade, led by the officers, also rushed to protect the three circles outside Chen Ziang in the center.
The personal guards, the Guards Banner Regiment and others quickly surrounded the enemies who were trying to assassinate Chen Ziang.
These assassins didn't expect the soldiers under Chen Zi'ang's command to react so quickly, and they were intercepted before they rushed to the front.
And those arrows shot at Chen Ziang were also blocked by Chen Ziang's bodyguards, causing them to fall short.
"Quick retreat!"
Facing the arrival of more and more Qinghe Army reinforcements, it seems that it is impossible to break through the Qinghe Army.??The blocker is approaching, and the leading assassin is about to run away with oil on his feet.
After all, there are people running and screaming in panic all around. As long as they escape into the crowd, it will be very difficult for the Qinghe Army to catch them.
However, their thoughts were good, but when they fought hard to get out of the Qinghe Army's interception, and before they rushed into the crowd, a large group of people with sharp knives had already rushed towards them.
"Leave a few alive!"
A young man in civilian clothes was filled with anger when he saw this group of assassins who were also disguised as civilians.
These newcomers belonged to the brothers of the Operation Executive Department of the Intelligence Investigation Institute. They hid in the crowd and secretly protected Chen Ziang.
Who knew that there were too many people, and these assassins still took advantage of the loopholes, causing them to almost succeed.
Therefore, facing these enemies, they did not have the slightest politeness, and they rushed straight up and slashed and killed.
The brothers of the Operation Executive Department of the Qinghe Military Intelligence Investigation Institute are all elites in all battles, and their strength is quite strong.
These assassins have also undergone rigorous training, and their individual combat capabilities even surpassed those of the regular troops of the Qinghe Army.
So they were able to tear through the barriers and run when they saw the situation was not good, but they were completely insignificant in the face of the people of the Qinghe Army's Operations Executive Department.
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army saw two groups of people dressed in common people's costumes fighting together, and they couldn't tell the difference between the enemy and the friend. Under Li Changqing's order, they surrounded them all.
The brothers in the Operations Executive Department were all cunning and cunning, and these assassins kept falling in a pool of blood amidst the blood flying.
Soon there were more than a dozen of the hundreds of assassins left. They were knocked to the ground by the brothers of the Operations Executive Department and became captives.
However, what the brothers of the Operations Executive Department did not expect was that the captured prisoners soon foamed at the mouth one by one, and one by one their heads were tilted and they died.
"kindness?"
Several brothers from the Operations Executive Division hastily pried open their mouths and saw crushed poison pills in their mouths.
"Damn it!"
They didn't expect that these assassins were all dead soldiers. Seeing that the task was not completed, they would kill themselves by crushing poison pills one by one, and they didn't want to fall into the hands of the Qinghe army.
The Qinghe army of the brigade came over, and they quickly controlled the situation on the scene and stopped the chaos of the people.
"Your Majesty, all the assassins have been executed, and more than a dozen prisoners are also dead soldiers. They all crushed the poison pills and committed suicide."
Li Changqing, the head of the Ninth Army, saw that the Operations Executive Division had dealt with the opponent. After further understanding of the situation, he returned to report to Chen Zi'ang.
"It seems that someone doesn't want us to be safe."
When Chen Ziang saw the assassins who were all beheaded in the distance, and then saw Xu Yong, the commander of the Eighth Army whose arm was pierced by an arrow and was urgently wrapped to stop the bleeding, his face was also full of coldness.
"Your Majesty atones, we didn't expect assassins to be mixed into the crowd"
When Chen Ziang was speaking, a group of civil and military officials led by Qin An, chief of political affairs of the Central Committee, also hurried over from the east gate, all panicked.
Qin An's original idea was to gather hundreds of thousands of people to welcome the triumphant return of the army, making the scene more grand and warmer.
He also thought that someone might be unfavorable to Chen Ziang, so all the staff of the Intelligence Investigation Institute in the imperial capital were mixed with the common people to protect him secretly.
The guards of the imperial capital even stood guard on both sides of the road every three steps, one five steps, and one sentry. However, despite such tight defenses, some people still took risks. Qin An also regretted it at this moment. If he had known earlier, he would not have done so many tricks.
Fortunately, Chen Ziang was not injured. If something happened to Chen Ziang, he would die. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
