Chapter 725: The Emperor's Mandate (8)

"Lord Wang, there is an army outside, with nearly 10,000 people."

An officer hurried to report loudly.

Zhao He asked in a deep voice, "Is Li Xun here?" ”

The officer shook his head: "The last general doesn't know Li Xun, but he has seen Yan Yi, Fu Meng and others, many of whom are brothers of the forbidden army. ”

Zhao Bolin said coldly: "They are not your brothers now, but enemies. ”

The officer shrank his head and nodded his head in agreement.

Zhao Bolin waved his hand irritably, signaling that the officer could leave, and then said to Zhao He: "Lord Wang, the East Palace has been breached, Zhao He and the others are just turtles in the urn, there is no way back, solve them sooner or later, the arrival of Yan Yi and others will affect the morale of our army, the longer the time drags on, the greater the impact on our army, they are not numerous, I suggest that the attack on the East Palace be suspended, concentrate all forces, quickly defeat Yan Yi, Li Xun and others, and then calmly besiege and kill the prince and others." ”

Zhao He nodded: "I only need five thousand people, and all the rest will be given to you, you can do it yourself." ”

After that, Zhao He began to take off the robe on his body, but inside was a pair of exquisite armor.

Zhao Bolin looked at Zhao He in a daze, then reacted, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Lord Wang, how noble your identity is, and it is the hope of all of us, if something happens to you, what can it be?" ”

Zhao He shook his head, but ignored Zhao Bolin, walked forward, and muttered to himself: "The throne is mine, even if I can't get it, I will never be cheap You Zhao Xun, never." ”

"Lord, don't...."

Zhao Bolin chased after him and was still persuading, but Zhao He pulled out his sword, turned around and pointed at Zhao Bolin fiercely, his face was hideous: "Get out, do your own thing, and leave me alone." ”

"The people from the Yiwang Mansion come with me, and the rest of the people are all under Zhao Bolin's command."

Zhao He roared loudly and led the three thousand elite winged palace dead soldiers around him to rush forward.

Zhao Bolin looked at the back of Zhao He leaving, he never thought that the person who had always been able to treat calmly in the face of any danger and pressure was the first to have a psychological breakdown at the most critical moment, which Zhao Bolin never expected.

"Lord Zhao, what should we do?"

"Are you still fighting?"

"How many people have come outside, it is said that there are many brothers of the forbidden army, could it be that the left and right armies outside the city have arrived?"

The attack on the inner hall of the East Palace was suspended, and it was handed over to the elite dead soldiers of the three thousand winged palaces led by Zhao He to deal with, and the rest of the people all retreated, and more than a dozen generals of the forbidden army surrounded Zhao Bolin.

"Shut up."

Zhao Bolin came back to his senses at this time, and was extremely annoyed by the noise of everyone, and couldn't help yelling angrily, and then said coldly to everyone: "Just a few thousand people scared you like this? It's really ridiculous, Zhao Xun is at the end of the road, he won't last long, the prince will solve him immediately, when the time comes, the prince will be the first choice of the Son of Heaven, and you are from the dragon heroes, and you are less prosperous and rich? ”

Zhao Bolin's impassioned words temporarily stabilized everyone's minds and morale.

After all, things have come to this point, and everyone has little choice but to do it to the end.

Subsequently, Zhao Bolin gathered the last more than 23,000 soldiers, turned around, and began to meet Li Xun and others behind him.

"Attack."

Countless soldiers shouted loudly, carrying dozens of engineering ladders and other siege equipment, and rushed forward.

Outside the East Palace, the city gate is hard and not easy to attack.

Li Xun has been to the East Palace many times, and he is very familiar with the environment here, so he immediately ordered someone to cut down a tall tree and immediately made a crashing tree.

Nearly 100 soldiers strode forward with a big tree five or six feet long, shouting the slogan of unity.

An Guoqing stood on the city, pointed in the direction of the city gate, and shouted loudly: "Concentrate on hitting the wood." ”

An Guoqing's voice echoed around, hundreds of archers responded immediately, concentrated arrows to shoot at the soldiers holding the tree, nearly 100 soldiers holding the big tree, and many of them immediately fell to the ground with arrows, but soon, the soldiers standing around immediately rushed over, hugged the big tree, and filled the vacancy, Jiang Daxiong also rushed over, hugged the forefront of the big tree, and took the lead in the charge.

Less than a hundred paces away, the soldiers around the big tree, more than 300 people have been killed, but no one flinched, this is the key to the battlefield, the opponent's number is already several times his own, and it is firmly defended by the city wall, if you can't break the city gate, you can't shake the opponent's formation at all.

"Hard!"

After paying the price of hundreds of deaths, and finally approaching the city gate, Jiang Daxiong used all his strength and roared angrily.

The heavy giant log slammed into the bronze door.

"Boom!" A loud noise, like a muffled thunder on the ground, the entire city wall is slightly shaken a few times, although the copper door is thick, it can not withstand this earth-shattering impact, after hitting five times in a row, the bolt is broken, and the copper door suddenly opens.

"Kill!"

Jiang Daxiong threw away the big tree and led hundreds of soldiers into it.

In the East Palace, Zhao He led the three thousand winged palace dead soldiers to continue the attack, although the number of people has decreased, the combat effectiveness has risen to a level, this is Zhao He's carefully selected, painstakingly trained three thousand people, combat effectiveness is extremely strong, not afraid of death.

After the previous battle, more than half of the 2,000 people were killed and wounded, and now in the face of the impact of Zhao He's 3,000 dead soldiers, they can no longer resist and retreat.

"General, let's retreat quickly, it's not a way to stay here, we won't be able to hold out for long."

Wang Chengzong rushed to Zhang Jin and said loudly.

Zhang Jin said angrily: "Where else can we retreat? ”

Wang Chengzong pointed to the rear: "You can go to Wanglong Tower, take advantage of the terrain there, and you can delay a moment or two." ”

"Wanglong Tower?"

Zhang Jin turned to look, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Highness, let's go to Wanglong Tower."

Zhang Jin took Zhao Xun, Mu Gong, Crown Princess and other people with desperate faces, and began to retreat, heading towards the Wanglong Pagoda behind him, while Wang Chengzong stayed behind and delayed time.

Zhang Jin didn't bring many people, only about 200 people.

The Wanglong Tower has a special structure, the stairs are narrow, and it rotates up, as long as the tower ladder is held, it is difficult for the opponent to attack, so whether it is the opponent or your own side, no matter how many people there are, it is useless.

Of course, they are too few in number, and if they die, they will eventually not be able to hold on, but they have gained time, and this is the most important thing.

Everyone quickly entered the Wanglong Tower, all the way to the top of the tower, and Wang Chengzong's side, did not last long, was scattered, Zhao He led the people to quickly chase and kill to the Wanglong Tower.
