The sun had completely set, and the heavens and the earth were dark.

Chang'an, Zhangcheng Gate, the Xiliang soldiers who kept vigil at night have been replaced, the torches are bright and extinguished under the night wind, the Xiliang army of the city head vigil is bored, since Li Li's death, the morale of the Xiliang army has plummeted, not how important Li Li is, but Li Xianam's approach, which makes people a little chilled, and under the rendering of people with a heart, Li Xian seems to have become an image of being interested in the female dependents of his own family, and the middle-level generals are even more self-endangered and have no intention of defense.

In addition, Li Xian has obviously become much more irritable in the past few days, and the middle-level generals have naturally begun to get by, and when this emotion is transmitted to the bottom, it has become such a loose appearance.

There were dots of fire in the distance, slowly walking towards this side, getting closer, two rows of torches in the night like two fire snakes swept towards this side, through the firelight, I could vaguely distinguish some armor, it should be my own side of the people, occasionally I can hear the sound of wood rubbing in the night wind is very harsh.

After all, the Xiliang army defending the city still had some literacy, quickly cheered up, and passed the news to the superior officers.

"Probably the grain carrier has returned." The general glanced at it and said, "These people are getting more and more unpunctual, and they should have been able to come back before sunset." ”

"If I could, I would like to take refuge outside the city." A senior came over, shook his head and sighed: "Recently, the general has become more and more irritable, and he kills people at every turn. ”

"Why don't you go and report to him, if the grain team fails to return in time, will you let him go?" The general glanced at Shi Chang and asked with a smile.

"Humble positions are not qualified." Shi Chang shook his head, leaned against the female wall and sighed: "I don't know when the general will be able to return, and when this day will be the end." ”

"Come on, I heard that the Bingzhou army is all new soldiers, with the ability of a general, how can a group of new troops be opponents?"

While the two were talking, the grain team had already arrived in the city, and the grain officer wanted to step forward, Zheng Tu behind him followed him like a shadow, and a short sword was pressed against the opponent's waist, if he dared to talk nonsense, Zheng Tu's short sword would shatter his waist and eyes at the first time.

"Rest assured, the general will not talk nonsense." The grain officer stiffened and said in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zheng Tu snorted lightly.

The grain officer was helpless, looked up at the city, raised his torch and said, "Who is guarding the city today, can you recognize me?" ”

The light of the torch lit up the figures of the two people, Zheng Tu lowered his head, and the people in the city couldn't see it, in fact, it was the face of the grain officer, and it was not very clear from a distance of five zhang, but the city general obviously knew the grain officer, and the voice could be heard, and he smiled: "Recognition is recognition, but you missed the time, how to do this?" ”

"It turned out to be Brother Luo, I drank a few more sips on the way, I missed the hour, Brother Luo made it convenient, if I let the general know about it, I am afraid that I will have to suffer a meal of flesh and skin." The grain officer smiled bitterly.

"It's good to know, how can you thank me?" The general surnamed Luo laughed.

"There is a good wine hidden at home, if Brother Luo is willing to be accommodating, after the change of guard tomorrow, I will invite Brother Luo to eat wine!" The grain officer smiled.

"Just wait for your sentence, open the door!" The general surnamed Luo smiled, waved his hand, and motioned for the soldiers to open the city gate.

The drawbridge slowly fell, and the city gate slowly opened from the inside.

Zheng Tu took away the short sword, took off his ring head knife from his back, looked at the grain officer and said, "Go and avoid it, and then leave it to me!" ”

"Whoa!" The grain officer nodded, silently turned sideways, and ran to the side of the city gate, while the troops in the rear quickly stepped forward, tied the white scarves that had been prepared to their waists one by one, and an archer lit the torch to ignite the arrows stained with pine oil.

Shout~

The moment the rocket took off, Zheng Tu stepped on the suspension bridge that had not completely fallen, and roared: "Kill!" ”

Two hundred elite generals each picked up their weapons and poured into the city gate with Zheng Tu, and the dozen or so soldiers of the Xiliang Army guarding the cave of the city gate who had not yet reacted were overwhelmed by the surging Bingzhou army, Zheng Tu left a team of men and horses to guard the city gate, and rushed up to the city with his own men and horses to destroy the winch that controlled the drawbridge.

The moment the rocket took off, the generals on the city tower had already noticed that something was wrong, and then, in the boundless darkness in the distance, countless torches suddenly appeared, and the general surnamed Luo secretly shouted that it was not good, and shouted: "Enemy attack, sound the horn, light the beacon fire, and raise the drawbridge!" ”

As he spoke, the sound of killing had risen under the city gate, and soon, a fierce and vicious strong man came up with a force of men and horses, and the strong man led by a ring-headed knife was extremely fierce, and when a knife fell, one person would fall to the ground, and each knife was straight to the point, and no one who was cut by him could get up again.

There were not many Xiliang troops on the city tower, and they were suddenly attacked, and they couldn't react for a while, and Zheng Tu took the opportunity to kill and disperse, Zheng Tu did not entangle, and after killing and dispersing the Xiliang army, he went straight to the winch.

Seeing this, the general surnamed Luo immediately reacted, drew his sword and shouted angrily: "The thief dare!" ”

Swinging the knife and slashing at Zheng Tu, Zheng Tu turned his head slightly, avoiding the blade that the other party slashed at the head, but the ring knife in his hand ran straight to the opponent's heart.

Such a fierce way of fighting, even the general surnamed Luo, who was born in the Xiliang Army, was also a little stunned, and the knife couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but this momentary hesitation was enough to divide life and death in this kind of place.

The cold blade pierced the chest of the general surnamed Luo, and the knife of the general surnamed Luo slashed on Zheng Tu's shoulder, bringing up a puddle of blood, Zheng Tu grinned, but the handle of the knife in his hand was stirred fiercely, taking advantage of the moment when the general surnamed Luo trembled, he kicked it away, and the blood sprayed Zheng Tu's face.

"Cut me!" Zheng Tu carried the blood-dripping ring knife, tremblingly came to the winch, and slashed with a knife, the rope was an iron chain, and the knife could not be cut, but the winch that was manipulated was wooden, as long as this one was cut down.

Some soldiers rushed up with a battle axe, and there was a burst of slashing at the root of the winch, and the Xiliang army around began to rush to this side, Zheng Tu simply let people take the axe to cut, and he took people to meet him, although he was injured, but he was more fierce, and at the same time, Tai Shici outside the city had already led the soldiers and horses to start entering the city, and the Xiliang army around was unstable, and Zheng Tu was too fierce, and he was killed and retreated, and at this time, with a muffled sound, the winch was completely cut off.

"Retreat to the gates! Hugh wants to fight! Zheng Tu remembered his mission, and after destroying the winch, he quickly led the people to retreat while fighting, all the way to the bottom of the city tower.

Tai Shi Ci had already rushed into the city with people, and he didn't fight, but just let people set fire everywhere, and in a moment, the fire on the side of Zhangchengmen was flourishing.

Chang'an City, Li Xian's mansion, was playing with the Huangfu clan, or Li Xian, who was trying to tease the Huangfu clan, suddenly heard the siren in the city, and was shocked, and he couldn't care about teasing the Huangfu clan anymore. ”

"General, the thieves have broken down!"

"Impossible!" Li Xian kicked away the guards, looked around, but saw that the west was already in flames, Li Xian was a little stunned, gritted his teeth and said: "Quick, gather the soldiers, and kill the enemy with me!" ”

"Whoa!" The guards didn't care about complaining that they had been kicked in vain, so they quickly got up and agreed, and went to gather troops and horses.

It's just that this side has not yet assembled, and someone over there rushed in in a hurry, saluted Li Xian and said: "General, there is a large force of enemy troops outside the Xuanping Gate, and the gongs and drums are loud, as if they are going to attack the city!" ”

"Where did you get those so many soldiers and horses?" Li Xian was a little distraught and frowned.

Before anyone could answer, someone rushed to say again: "General, a large number of enemy troops have appeared outside the gate of the city, and gongs and drums are ringing in unison, as if they are going to attack the city." ”

Immediately following the direction of Qingming Gate, Anmen, and Luocheng Gate, there were also soldiers who came to report the appearance of a large number of enemy troops, Li Xian was a little confused, when did there be so many enemy troops outside the city? How many enemy troops are there in the city?

The troops have been assembled, but at this moment, Li Xian is indeed a little undecided, and he doesn't know which side to save.

The shouting and killing in the west city became more and more intense, and Li Xian couldn't care about it anymore, and shouted: "Order all the soldiers to guard the city gate, and the rest of the people, come with me!" ”

After speaking, he led his troops straight to the direction of Zhangcheng Gate.

……

In Chang'an City, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the ministers in the city naturally heard it, and Liu Ai, Chong Shao, Ma Yu, Liu Fan, Zhao Wen and others also met in the chaos.

"Didn't you say that only 5,000 Pioneers came? How did you storm the city so quickly? Zhao Wen wondered.

"Then Li Xian lost the hearts of the people, maybe someone opened the city gate, don't forget, in the past, Chen Mo also had a friendship with many generals of the Xiliang Army." Huangfu Song shook his head and said: "No matter what, this is also a good opportunity for us, immediately notify Dong Cheng and Fu Wan to gather the soldiers and horses that can be gathered, and follow me to strangle the rebels, Chang'an City, we must obtain enough military power, and we can't let Chen Mo's men and horses enter the city!" ”

Zhao Wen sighed: "This matter should be postponed first, at this time, it should be to beg the thief, kill Li Daozi and nephew first, and then talk about anything else!" ”

This Xiliang army has not been defeated yet, is it too early to think about these now?

Huangfu Song nodded, didn't say anything more, and immediately ordered someone to inform Dong Cheng and others who had some military power in their hands to gather troops and horses to prepare to kill the thief.

Although Dong Cheng was born in the Xiliang Army, but since his daughter married the Son of Heaven, Dong Cheng's heart has been alive, although his daughter has not been crowned, but he is also a nobleman, and he can be regarded as the son of heaven. When it was his turn, he was just a guard lieutenant, and he didn't have much military power in his hands, and almost all of the military power in Chang'an was in the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Therefore, when someone came to Dong Cheng to plot to overthrow Li Dao and Guo Yan and support the pro-government of the Son of Heaven, Dong Cheng almost did not hesitate to agree, and has been actively preparing, Chang'an suddenly chaos tonight, Dong Cheng is also a little puzzled, no one has informed him that there is action tonight, when he learned the reason, Dong Cheng reacted, he is also from the Xiliang Army, tonight is not only the actual expulsion of Li Dao, but also a good time for him to seize military power.
