Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1697

Tang Xinghe and his companions swaggered and carried the headless body of the prefect to the city wall and hung it on it with a rope.

However, no one noticed that a head had been hung nearby at some point.

That was the head of Wu Le, the governor of Wan State.

But a loud shout was heard from below the tower: "Catch them! They are spies from the North Wing!"

Rong He, who had returned, became suspicious when the other party showed him a human tooth necklace, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

His elder brother treasures this human tooth necklace very much and won't let anyone touch it easily.

He had wanted to take it over to have a look earlier, but was scolded.

How could he just give it to a few soldiers to pass on the message?

So he not only turned back, but also called in the heavy armored battalion to surround the entire city wall like an iron barrel.

When he looked up, his eyes were bloodshot.

If that thing hanging there isn't his eldest brother's head, then what is it?

Following Rong He's loud shout, the Wan guards surrounded everyone.

Tang Xinghe knew that this time he had made a big mistake.

He originally planned to hang Wu Le's body on the city wall and then quietly evacuate under the cover of night, but he didn't expect Rong He to be so difficult to fool.

"Interesting." Tang Xinghe squinted his eyes at the torches gathering more and more under the city wall, and suddenly laughed. He casually took off the blood-stained uniform of the Wan soldier, revealing the battle robe of the Northern Wing Royal Army underneath.

The others followed suit.

"Kill!" an order was given.

The crossbow arrows in the sleeves came out like a swarm of bees, and the guards fell to the ground one after another.

When the last crossbow arrow pierced the throat of the third row of soldiers, Rong He's cold voice suddenly tore through the night sky, "They have no arrows left! Tear these North Wing dogs alive!"

The Wan soldiers came like a tide, and their heavy iron boots made the ground tremble.

It was only at this time that Tang Xinghe ordered in the tone of a vanguard, "I will cover the rear, Ma Chuyang, you lead them to evacuate Guicheng immediately."

Ma Chuyang was stunned and said, "Bullshit, can I abandon you and run away?"

Tang Xinghe was furious, "I am the vanguard! You just need to obey!"

Ma Chuyang was extremely angry, "We live together, and we die together! You guys go first, and my brother Xinghe and I will cover you."

The others were unwilling to leave either, "We swear to follow the Vanguard Envoy until death!"

They were archers carefully selected from the army and had followed Tang Xinghe since before the expedition.

They trained together in archery, swords and spears every morning and evening, and had already developed a deep understanding and affection.

We are in such a difficult situation right now, how can we just walk away?

Seeing that he couldn't drive them away, Tang Xinghe had no choice but to give an order in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, let's fight our way out!"

"Yes!" Following this "yes", several people took action together.

There is a way to leave and a way to stay.

If you leave, you can take a roundabout way, play tricks, and make a feint to the east and attack in the west. If you stay, you can only fight to the death.

The first Wan centurion who rushed up had just raised his scimitar when a line of blood as thin as a hair appeared on his throat. Before he could utter a sound, he fell straight down.

Tang Xinghe's eyes flashed with brilliance, his moves became fierce, and the short blade in his hand shone with a cold light, drawing a sharp arc of light under the moonlight.

The blade is poisoned, it kills instantly.

"Form a battle array!" Tang Xinghe said coldly, "Seven stars shine on me to open a path for survival, and one sword across the sky dries up thousands of bones."

The seven members of the vanguard team moved upon hearing the sound, and instantly formed the Seven Star Big Dipper formation with their backs to each other.

The formation was completed. Tang Xinghe was not in it.

He suddenly rose up and rushed out, stepping on the shoulders of seven people.

The seven vanguard members simultaneously lowered their shoulders and exerted force to send Tang Xinghe to a higher place.
