Chapter Seventy-Eight: Falling Short

Ma Wenju and Linghu Xingda killed the soldiers under the city gate, opened the city gate, cut the drawbridge, lit the fire, and loudly beckoned the Xiaoguo army outside the city to enter the city, "The city gate has been opened, brothers quickly enter the city and capture the lone husband alive!" ”

"Brothers, rush!"

Yu Wenhua was overjoyed to see that the city gate had been opened, and immediately jumped on his horse and raised his gun, personally leading the most elite five thousand Xiaoguo troops around him to kill the city gate like a carp crossing the river.

"Oh no, the city gate is lost, the city gate is lost!"

Yang Lin was leading his troops to fight bloodily at the head of the city, and suddenly heard that the city was like a fried pot, and many soldiers shouted hoarsely that the city gate was lost.

"Old prince!" Shen Guang on the side was quick and hurriedly helped Yang Lin.

"God don't bless me Dasui!" Yang Lin was supported by Shen Guang, struggled to stand up, and roared to the sky.

"Old prince, how can you say such frustrating words?" Shen Guang said sharply when he heard this, "Old prince, the reinforcements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive soon, even if the city gate is lost at this time, we should not give up, the soldiers of the Great Sui should fight until the last moment!" ”

"Not bad!" After Yang Lin listened to Shen Guang's words, he swept away the sadness on his face and said in a deep voice: "General Shen, you immediately withdraw to the palace with the internal guard army to protect Your Majesty's evacuation, as long as Your Majesty is still there, the banner of the Great Sui is there." ”

"Yes!" Shen Guang answered loudly and led the remaining more than 800 internal guards to rush towards the imperial city.

Seeing Shen Guang leave, Yang Lin's face had already appeared with a will to die, he held the water and fire prisoner dragon stick in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, for the sake of the Great Sui, swear to repel the rebellion to the death, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

At this time, those who were still willing to stay in the city were basically Yang Guang's most loyal subordinates, although they knew that the city gate had been lost, they still followed Yang Lin without hesitation to kill the Xiaoguo rebels who poured into the city gate like a tide.

Lao Yang Lin took the lead, and a pair of water and fire prisoner dragon sticks in his hand swept through the crowd like a thousand troops, as if entering a no-man's land, and the corpses of the Xiaoguo soldiers were all over the ground, screaming miserably.

Although Yang Lin's bravery was extraordinary, it was only one person's bravery, and he could not effectively contain the attack of the Xiaoguo rebels, who had a huge advantage.

"Ahh

With a scream, Dugu Kaiyuan, who had been assisting Yang Lin in guarding the imperial city, was attacked by Ma Wenju and Ling Hu Xingda, and stabbed him to death on the left and right.

"General Dugu!"

Seeing the tragic death of Dugu Kaiyuan, Yang Lin was furious, his fingers cracked, he roared angrily in the sky, flew under the war horse in his crotch, and smashed the dragon stick in his hand with lightning speed towards Ma Wen's head. Ma Wenju hurriedly raised his knife to block, and with a "click", his knife blade instantly split into two, and he himself was smashed off the horse by Yang Lin, blood sprayed wildly, and he couldn't survive.

Fan Wenchao saw that Yang Lin was unstoppable from a distance, and had a plan, and shouted at Yang Lin: "Old prince, the city gate has been broken, the general trend has been decided, we just want to set up a new monarch and revitalize the Great Sui, old prince, as long as you put down your weapons, the general will promise not to harm your life!" ”

"Phew!" Yang Lin spat disdainfully, and scolded loudly: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, they dare to bewitch the public, today there is only Yang Lin with a broken head, and there is no Yang Lin who surrenders on his knees!" It's you, Fan Wenchao, your father Fan Zigai has been loyal to the country all his life, and then look at what you are doing today, what face do you have to see him under the nine springs of the future? ”

"Old horseman, I kindly persuade you, but you yourself have to find death!" Fan Wenchao was furious when he heard this, and slapped his horse and danced the knife to take Yang Lin directly.

"The old man will clean the door for General Fan Zigai today!" Yang Lin also roared and attacked, and the dragon stick in his hand slashed Huashan in the air with a force.

Yang Lin's stick was so powerful that Fan Wenchao didn't dare to take it hard, so he hurriedly dodged sideways. Yang Lin missed a blow, and his backhand was another stick, not giving Fan Wenchao a chance to fight back.

Yang Lin is a first-class fierce general with 99 force points, and Fan Wenchao's force value is in his early 80s.

After the Xiaoguo army formation, Yuan Li saw that Fan Wenchao was in danger, so he secretly took out the bow and arrow hanging behind the saddle, took the bow and arrow, and shot it at Yang Lin.

Sou!

The sharp arrow broke through the air, Yang Lin was caught off guard and was shot in the left shoulder by an arrow, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell off the horse when he landed, and he fell into a gold star.

Fan Wenchao was overjoyed when he saw this, and with a big knife in his hand, he was about to take Yang Lin's life.

Sou!

At this critical juncture, another cold arrow broke through the air, Fan Wenchao didn't have time to dodge, he was shot in the throat by an arrow, his eyes bulged out, and an upside-down onion fell off his horse and died on the spot.

"Don't panic, old prince, Qin Qiong is here!"

There was a burst of dust in the north, but it was Qin Qiong who led thousands of elite horsemen to kill from behind the Xiaoguo army, and the arrow that had just rescued Yang Lin was shot by Qin Qiong.

Qin Qiong abandoned the bow and spear, flew the war horse under his crotch, killed the crowd like a gallop, rushed to Yang Lin's side, turned over and dismounted, helped Yang Lin and bowed down and said, "Is the old prince okay?" ”

Yang Lin pulled out the feather arrow inserted in his left shoulder with his backhand, and said with a grin: "The old man is fine, General Qin came at the right time!" ”

"Quickly help the old prince go down to bandage his wounds!"

Although Yang Lin said that he was fine, Qin Qiong still didn't dare to slack off, and loudly ordered his entourage to protect Yang Lin and go down to bandage his wounds.

At the same time, Lai Cheng and Qin Yong also led thousands of elite war horses to kill from both sides, quickly killing through the obstruction of the Xiaoguo army like two sharp blades, and rushed into the imperial city to block the advance of the Xiaoguo army.

With the addition of tens of thousands of elite Sui troops, the momentum of the defenders in the city was greatly boosted, and the corpses of the Xiaoguo rebels who brandished their weapons and shouted like tigers descending from the mountains were all over the field, leaving rivers of blood.

"Quick, the whole army is pressing, be sure to give me to defeat the Sui army at the city gate, and give me to attack the city immediately."

Yu Wenhua saw that the Xiaoguo army that rushed into the city was defeated and retreated, and it seemed that he was about to be driven out of the city by the Sui army, so he couldn't help but be furious and ordered the whole army to move forward.

Under Yu Wenhua's high-pressure orders, the Xiaoguo army reorganized its formation and launched a new wave of attacks. After all, the Xiaoguo army was outnumbered, and Qin Qiong and Lai Cheng initially gained some advantage with surprise attacks, but soon as time passed, the strength advantage of the Xiaoguo army was once again brought into play, and Qin Qiong, Lai Cheng and others could only slowly retreat to the interior of the imperial city, taking the opportunity to delay time.
