Chapter 52: Capture the thief and capture the king first

At this time, under Wu Yuan's loud shouts, countless rebel soldiers and soldiers had already rushed over here, and the scene was suddenly chaotic!

The screams and shouts at the scene were connected, and many people wanted to recapture the city gate, but they were facing Peng Shuang and Liang Yuan, two generals, how could they kill the two with just ordinary soldiers.

It is often as many as there are to die, and one piece rushes up and flies out upside down.

In addition, a large number of soldiers armed with spears surrounded Xiao Yuan and the three of them in the middle.

But the three of them were fighting, and they couldn't fight, and everyone threw rat bogeys, for fear of accidentally injuring Wu Yuan, and they didn't dare to release arrows at all.

Wu Yuan's figure is very burly, he is still holding the jade seal in his hand, desperately dodging the attack of the two, and he has always wanted to leave, but the sharp sword blade is at the heart of his body, either pointing at his chest or sweeping towards his neck, let alone fighting back, there is no chance to escape at all.

The sound of horses' hooves outside the city pass was getting closer and closer, and under the attack of the storm, Wu Yuan couldn't support it anymore, he bowed his head suddenly, and the sword blade swept over his scalp, directly cutting off the hair on his head.

"Ahh

He strangled Wu Yuan's neck with one hand, and the sword in his hand was also placed on Wu Yuan's neck.

At this moment, the latter already had a lot of wounds on his body, and under the dispersion of his head, he was restrained by Xiao Yuan, but he yelled at the rebels who were hesitant around him: "Release the arrow!" Hurry up and release the arrows! ”

"Come on! Shoot the arrows! Come on! Who's afraid of whom! ”

Xiao Yuan also roared, and at the same time withdrew his sword and stabbed Wu Yuan cleanly.

"Ahh

A terrible howl came from Wu Yuan's mouth, and the rebels around him held spears, and they became even more hesitant.

"Stand back! Back off! ”

Xiao Yuan shouted, glaring angrily, he didn't expect that Wu Yuan, the leader of the thieves, would have such skills and could hold out for so long under the attack of him and Zhong Bai.

"Kill them! Kill themβ€”"

Wu Yuan was still yelling.

As the so-called snake hit seven inches, the thief captured the king first, the thief was controlled, and the rebels were at a loss, but they hesitated, and the cavalry outside the city pass did not delay, and soon rushed into the city gate.

The cavalry that came, of course, were Xiao Yuan and Zhong Bai's subordinates, and they were followed by a large number of foot soldiers of the two armies.

With the reversal of the scene again, the city gate has been completely breached, and at this time, Xiao Yuan also made up his mind, began to hold Wu Yuan hostage, and shouted at the rebels:

"Put down your weapons! Or you can live! Otherwise, there is only a dead end! ”

In the current situation, Xiao Yuan held Wu Yuan hostage, and had completely entered the city, at the forefront of his own team, and with the arrival of a large number of regular troops, the rebels also began to retreat involuntarily.

Seeing that although the rebels were shocked, they were still holding spears, Xiao Yuan immediately shouted coldly: "Crossbowmen!" ”

With his order, there was a sudden sound of armor rubbing one after another from behind, and the soldiers in the front row stepped forward quickly, throwing their bows and arrows, some people half-squatting, and some people drew their bows to the full, aiming at the rebels on the opposite side.

In this situation, the rebels at the front were startled, and while retreating again, they couldn't help but glance at the people next to them.

Immediately afterwards, there was a 'clang', and I don't know who threw away the weapon first, but with one person taking the lead, soon, the sound of the weapon falling to the ground came one after another.

"Rubbish! You shit! ”

Wu Yuan shouted angrily, but he was restrained by himself, and he couldn't reverse the situation at all.

His dog-headed military division was also here at this time, and after seeing this situation, he was even more silent, and quietly retreated into the rebel crowd.

This is just the turmoil at the city gate, Wu Yuan of course has more than this number of troops, but with the loss of the city gate, the soldiers of Xiao Yuan and Zhong Bai completely entered the city, and the latter ones obviously became much easier.

After confiscating the rebel weapons here, Xiao Yuan also had Wu Yuan taken down and guarded him strictly, and then raised his sword and shouted:

"The head of the thief is gone! All the soldiers will follow me into the city and kill the traitors in an all-round way! ”

"Killβ€”"

At this moment, his own side captured the head of the thief alive, and the soldiers were uplifted, and the morale was unprecedentedly improved.

Subsequently, Xiao Yuan's troops and Zhong Bai's Yangzhou army began to engage in street battles with the rest of the rebels in the city.

Before, because Wu Yuan was preparing to attack Yuyang, all the rebels had almost been assembled by him, and there were actually not many guards left in the palace, so near the city gate, it was not only the beginning of the chaotic battle, but also the fiercest fight.

Fighting broke out, and shouts and fighting could be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys.

In such a situation, the people have closed their doors and windows, how dare they show their heads.

Somewhere in the city.

"Here it is! They're hereβ€”"

The panicked shouts of the people immediately attracted dozens of regular soldiers and began to fight the rebels.

Although the Son of Heaven is mediocre, Wu Yuan is even more hateful, arresting people's daughters for his lewd pleasure and plundering the people is a common thing, how can he win the hearts of the people.

There are rebels who want to hide in the people's homes, but the people will let them in.

And because the thief leader has been captured alive, the whereabouts of the military division are unknown, although the number of rebels is more than Xiao Yuan's side, but at this time there is no backbone, and there is no one to command, almost a plate of scattered sand.

There were also clever rebels, seeing that the tide was turning, they threw away their weapons, tore off the cloth scarves on their heads, and began to blend into the city, acting as civilians to escape the chaotic battle.

These are not a few, and there are not many rebels who really resist.

This chaotic battle lasted for a long time, and it was not until the afternoon that it came to an end, and calm was temporarily restored in the city.

Next, Xiao Yuan and Zhong Bai gathered their troops again and began to besiege the palace.

I thought that there was going to be a tough battle here, after all, if the rebels were to defend the imperial city, the palace walls were high and big, and it would definitely take a lot of effort to break through, but I didn't expect that there was no trace of the rebels here.

Wu Yuan's general trend has gone, and the rebels who stayed in the palace are only a thousand people, these people did not think of fighting to the death, but under the chaos, they all went crazy, and began to fight for the gold, silver and jewelry in the palace, carrying and fleeing.

At this time, the whole palace has been in a mess, there is a mess on the ground, there is everything, I don't know how many palaces, destroyed by the rebels, gold, silver and jade, the number of stolen, there is no way to verify, some precious calligraphy and paintings, but also by the illiterate rebels at will, thrown in the corner......

The two led their troops into the palace, looking at everything in front of them, Zhong Bai first closed his eyes, and then said quietly:

"It's really hateful that the imperial court of the dignified empire has been stolen by traitors and become like this!"
