Chapter 313: Scuffle

At this time, the Xuanwu Gate has become a tragic Shura field, and the men and horses of the East Palace and the King of Qin have been extremely miserable, desperately attacking and killing. The crown prince is a man, in fact, he is extremely generous, and therefore, although there are many outlaws under him, but also, there are also a lot of loyal people, at this moment, these people heard the news that the prince is dead, and immediately, let these people who are extremely loyal to the prince have the idea of dying with the king of Qin.

At this moment, the prince's men and horses are menacing, and the sharp spirit is almost unstoppable, and although the guards of the Qin Wangfu are also brave warriors selected by Li Shimin, but the gap in numbers is absolutely difficult to make up, and therefore, as time goes by, the people and horses of the King of Qin are still gradually at a disadvantage, although they are unwilling, but under the superior strength of the other party, they still have to retreat step by step, not only did not succeed in closing the city gate, but gradually had to be driven out of the door hole of the city wall. At the critical juncture, even the eldest grandson Wuji, who was originally on the city wall to assist the guard Chang He to block the East Palace guards from climbing the city wall, and covered the city with a rain of arrows to block the opponent's advance, had left the city wall and took away part of the troops on the city wall to support the battle under the city, and the generals of King Qin, who were originally under the wall hole under the city, gave up their lives one after another, desperately blocking the opponent's advance.

However, at this time, I saw that the Donggong guards, who were originally violently advancing into the city gate, suddenly fell into a burst of chaos, so that the attack of the forward was also stagnant, and such a change, of course, was immediately noticed by the people of the Qin Wangfu, so Zhang Gongjin, who was the head of the Qin Wangfu Protector at this time, immediately led the men and horses to make the final charge, Zhang Gongjin is a person with outstanding courage under Li Shimin, and this time the counter-charge, all the Qin Wang's soldiers are also embraced to death. Therefore, when these people took advantage of the chaos of the enemy army to attack, the enemy army, which lacked support for a while, was actually suppressed and retreated, and then was finally driven out of the city gate in one go. With the efforts of Zhang Gongjin and some Qin soldiers, they closed the gates of Xuanwu Gate.

The Xuanwu Gate was closed, which means that the attack of the army outside the city has come to naught, and at this time, if they want to attack again, they must rely on all kinds of powerful siege equipment, but due to accidents, in fact, it is impossible for the Donggong guards outside the city to prepare siege equipment, then. There is only one last option left: use the ladder to force the attack!

However, in that case, the guards of the East Palace would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, because even if the number of Qin Wang's guards guarding the city wall was too small, however, because of the absolute geographical advantage, it was still enough to block the superior enemy outside the city gate, and therefore, from this moment on. The guards of King Qin inside the city gate were already invincible. However, there is such a question in the hearts of all people. That is, what happened outside that would plunge such a menacing Donggong guard into chaos, so that they could succeed and close the city gates.

With such doubts, most of the remaining soldiers of the Qin Palace's mansion walked onto the city wall. On the one hand, it was to strengthen the guards above the city walls, but on the other hand, it was also to understand what was happening outside the city gates, and then everyone found out. Outside the city at this time, there was another small army rushing left and right surrounded by the guards of the East Palace, and there was no doubt that it was this army that caused chaos among the guards of the East Palace, thus creating an opportunity for the King of Qin in the city gate! However, at this moment, under the heavy siege of the East Palace guards, the number of this army became smaller and smaller, and in the end, it was finally completely wiped out.

"That's the cantonment army!" Chang He, as the guard general of the Xuanwu Gate, is naturally very familiar with the soldiers and generals in the nearby camp, and even through that not far distance, Chang He can clearly see that the two generals who died in the battle are Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, the main and deputy generals of the camp. And looking at these friendly soldiers who had created an opportunity for themselves but died heroically, all the soldiers of the King of Qin on the city wall lowered their heads one after another. I pay my respects to them.

Chang He was very puzzled, because he knew that the number of troops in the camp was far less than this, but why did Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng dare to go to war with only such a small number of men? It's just that since Jing Junhong is dead, he will never be able to get an answer to this question......

Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng are indeed not on Li Shimin's side, but in the early days when Li Tang occupied Guanzhong, they did receive the kindness of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, but after so many years, the kindness of the past will naturally fade over time. So much so that even Li Shimin himself was not worried about the two, and did not inform the two of them about his rebellion.

The location where the cantonment camp was stationed was located outside the palace wall, and in fact, its role was to be responsible for defending against attacks from outside the palace gate, so although the cantonment was subordinate to the establishment of the palace guards, when Li Shimin and Kou Zhong launched a coup d'état from the inside of the palace, the cantonment camp did not receive any orders, but continued to maintain daily operations, alerting the possible enemies outside the palace gate.

Therefore, when the East Palace and King Qi's guards launched an attack on the Xuanwu Gate, the officers and soldiers of the cantonment camp, who were responsible for defending the palace, could not turn a blind eye to this, in fact, in this case, they had to make a decision between two choices, whether to turn a blind eye to the battle of the East Palace Guards' attack on the Xuanwu Gate, or for their own duty, and stop this behavior, after all, there is no doubt that the cantonment camp at this time was completely ignorant of the situation in the palace, and therefore, once the cantonment made a decisionand if this decision is wrong, then there is no doubt that in the coming time all the cantonment soldiers will inevitably suffer the wrath of the victors. Therefore, for Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, the guards of the camp, this is an extremely difficult problem to choose!

However, in the end, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng still led the army to rush into the guards of the East Palace, because they disturbed the formation of the guards of the East Palace and provided precious time for the defenders of the city gate to close the city gate, and they themselves died in this battle because of their hasty battle.

Later, people finally put an end to two completely different speculations about what the two were thinking at that time.

First, although the two were not under the command of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, they were admired by the two because of the mediocrity of Li Yuan in Chang'an City at this time, the laxity of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and the flying and domineering of the King of Qi and the harem concubines, and like most of the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City, they were dissatisfied with the government at this time, but Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was admired by the two because he had always been extremely strict and clean.

And the second is that Jing Junhong and the others are the guards of the camp, so they shoulder the responsibility of guarding the Xuanwu Gate together with Chang He, the guard general who guards the Xuanwu Gate, and therefore, when the two of them saw the defenders of the Xuanwu Gate retreating step by step, and the shape was extremely critical, the duty was to lie, and the two had to immediately send troops to attack the Donggong Guards, even if the army had not yet assembled, so that the two died in battle.

Because of the haste of the incident, he didn't come to organize the military formation, so that he finally died in the military formation of the East Palace Guards, it seems that the choice of Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng is really extremely stupid, but in any case, the sacrifice of Jing Junhong and other camp generals did save the victory of King Qin's lineage, and therefore, for their posthumous contributions, King Qin's family will naturally not forget it......

At this moment, on the city wall of Xuanwu Gate, a group of martial arts generals led by Zhang Gongjin in the palace of King Qin had gathered, and then they immediately left the city wall to chase after King Qin and his party, so as to give greater support to King Li Shimin, King of Qin, after all, because he was hit hard by the guards of the East Palace, so that Li Shimin had to only take Yu Chi Gong, Qin Shubao and Duan Zhixuan, and went to chase after Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and with the high martial arts of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, even if Wei Chi Gong and Duan Zhixuan were Qin Shubao and the others are all extremely skilled generals, but there is still a great possibility that they can escape. Because of this, these generals unanimously decided to support His Royal Highness the King of Qin after the situation in Xuanwumen had been completely stabilized.

So, they left immediately, leaving almost all the soldiers behind, and handed over the defense of the Xuanwu Gate at this time to Chang He, the original guard of the Xuanwu Gate, the most trusted confidant of the King of Qin, Sun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the two top strategists under the command of the King of Qin!
