Chapter 500: Turning the Tide (2)

The hearts of the soldiers of the Qinglong Army are even more complicated, when they were in Mucheng, they were thanks to the ghost guards to take care of them, and the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu not only gave them food, medicine, and heating stones, but also gave them hope of life, it can be said that the soldiers of the Qinglong Army who can survive have been helped by Zhang Xiaowu. However, at this moment, they just want to become enemies, and when they see Zhang Xiaowu's tragic back of the battle, everyone feels guilty, and even wants to help him for a moment.

Seeing that some of the rebel soldiers were about to shoot arrows with their bows open, they involuntarily kicked over and yelled, "Bastard! If you have the ability, kill it, what kind of hero are you if you put a dark arrow? Afraid of death? Afraid of death, fuck off! ”

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing with me?"

"Rebellion?"

"Bastard, villain."

"Want to fight?"

"Come on, come on, who's afraid of whom?"

The two parties had a dispute, and then drew their swords against each other, Li Canglan and Helan Zong shouted at the same time: "Stop! Get back! ”

Li Canglan said: "The situation is not right. ”

Helan Zong smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Xiaowu saved everyone's lives in Mucheng. ”

"I see." Li Canglan said, "But if we don't kill him, we will die." ”

Helan Zong reluctantly pulled out his long knife and said, "Soldiers of the Qinglong Army, tonight, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, put away your mercy and admiration." Go up! Kill it! ”

However, no one in the Qinglong Army came out, if the person on the star-picking platform was not Zhang Xiaowu, they could slaughter anyone without hesitation, but that person was Zhang Xiaowu. Helan Sect is their leader, but Zhang Xiaowu is their savior, and they will never do anything to their benefactor.

"Who's going!" Helan Zong shouted.

The soldiers of the Blue Dragon Army lowered their heads one after another, neither speaking nor looking at him, refusing to fight.

Helan Zong keenly found that the soldiers' emotions were abnormal, and if they continued to force the soldiers of the Qinglong Army to kill Zhang Xiaowu, it was very likely to have the opposite effect. He calmly analyzed the current situation, killing Zhang Xiaowu would inevitably bring extremely bad infamy, after all, for such a loyal minister and famous general regardless of fame and fortune, whoever killed him was a saint sinner. This coup d'Γ©tat will eventually pass, and the future king may eradicate dissidents, but he will never list Zhang Xiaowu as a traitor, and those who are not traitors will inevitably be respected and even respected by the new monarch in the future.

At this time, Helan Sect looked at the firelight in the distance, heard the sound of killing, and said eagerly: "The city gate is urgent, if the palace gate is captured by the silver-clothed guards, everything will be lost." General Lee, it seems that this can only be handed over to you, sorry. ”

Li Canglan was annoyed by the performance of the Qinglong Army, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaowu's prestige in Saibei to be so high, and the Qinglong Army's attitude towards him was so respectful. He seriously underestimated Zhang Xiaowu's influence, and at this point, he could only give up his plan to let the Qinglong army besiege Zhang Xiaowu, and dispatch them to immediately rush to the southern gate of the imperial city.

As soon as Helan Zong led the people away, he saw a group of people rushing over, the leader was wearing a white fox fur robe, and a rich and noble person was Wu Dong, Marquis of Liyang.

Wu Dong was in high spirits and brought more soldiers with him, including two hundred rebels and eight hundred tenants from the Liyang Marquis Mansion, Wu Dong's younger brother Wu Liang gathered a thousand tenants overnight, distributed shields and swords to everyone, and each wore a leather hat on his head, and a red belt hung from the fur hat to distinguish him from others. These strong men followed Wu Liang into the palace easily, and when they saw the palace compound, everyone was really happy, but it was okay to let them look like a monarch, but it was not necessary to fight.

Wu Dong eagerly asked if he had killed Emperor Dade, and Li Canglan told him that Emperor Dade was trapped on the Star Picking Platform, but now no one could kill the Star Picking Platform. Li Canglan pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "He killed more than 200 people alone, and now my people are frightened." These recruits can't do it, and you need your people to go up. ”

Liyang Hou looked at the corpses everywhere in amazement, scratched his head and said: "This-this kind of brave man, I really see it for the first time, shoot arrows." ”

Li Canglan ordered: "Archery! Keep shooting! Shoot me the quiver! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaowu immediately returned to the center of the star-picking platform and blocked the corpses of the eunuchs on his own and Emperor Dade's heads. I saw that the arrows in the sky kept being thrown at the star-picking platform, Zhang Xiaowu was accidentally shot by the arrow, he gritted his teeth and persevered, but saw that Emperor Dade's face was pale, and it turned out that he was also shot with an arrow.

"Your Majesty, I see that the Blue Dragon Army has withdrawn, and there must be something strange in it." Zhang Xiaowu said in the ear of Emperor Dade, "It must be my subordinates who have killed them, and they have been ordered to resist." If we persist in persevering, we will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements. ”

Emperor Dade nodded and said, "I must be able to wait for reinforcements!" ”

Wu Song and the others gathered more than 7,600 silver-clothed guards at the south gate of the imperial city, but when they saw that the flames in the palace were soaring, and the imperial forest army rigidly did not allow everyone to enter, they immediately became anxious.

Wang Yijin immediately told Zhang Xiaowu of his entrustment, and Wu Song pulled Ruan Qingwen and said, "I can't wait, there must be an accident in the palace." ”

Ruan Qingwen said: "You are not as good as me in official business, and I am not as good as you in commanding in battle, you can give the order." ”

Wu Song took a few heavy breaths, turned around and said, "Cao Li, Bao Yin, Jia Siye, and others led two thousand soldiers to launch a feint attack at the south gate, and they must attract the attention of the Imperial Forest Army. The rest of the people immediately rushed to the east gate of the palace, and tonight the northwest wind blew, and the smoke of all the fire blew away in both directions to the east and south, so the defenders of the east gate would definitely relax. Li Chuncheng, Ni Erchun, you lead 2,000 people to act as the vanguard, and we will dismantle the door panels along the road to make a siege ladder and then arrive. ”

"Whoa!"

The silver-clothed guards divided into two routes, one to attack the imperial city, and the other to go around to the east gate to attack, but when they came to the east gate, they found that the east gate of the palace was wide open. Wei Yuan, the general of the front car, rushed out as a gun and shouted: "You and other traitors, you dare to use your arms as a car, let me meet you." ”

Li Chuncheng and Ni Erchun looked at each other, Ni Erchun stepped forward with a mace, and the blades collided and were just about to fight, but they saw Wei Yuan suddenly fall off his horse and shouted: "Oops, I was captured!" Ni Erchun couldn't cry or laugh, so he grabbed Wei Yuan's shirt and picked him up, Wei Yuan said in a low voice and anxiously: "Quickly enter the palace, quickly enter the palace!" ”

"Kill!"

Ni Erchun rushed into the palace with Wei Yuan, and at this time the east gate was too late to close, and the rebels shot arrows sporadically to block it, but where would the silver-clothed guard soldiers regularly deal with this kind of damage, and they killed it with flying arrows. Ni Erchun rushed into the palace first and killed all the defenders at the east gate of the palace, Li Chuncheng asked Wei Yuandao: "Where is the general?" ”

"Which general?"

"Zhang Xiaowu."

"I don't know, but many soldiers were drawn to Yuehua Lake for reinforcements."

Li Chuncheng immediately said: "Ni Erchun, you and I are divided into two ways, you go to the south gate of the palace to open the palace gate, and I go to Yuehua Lake." ”

"Order."

The two men each led a thousand soldiers into the palace, and they charged forward desperately against the heat, and nothing could stop their advance, even on this Chinese New Year's Eve of blood and fire.

"Holy Han!"

"Ten thousand years!"

The unique slogan of the ghost guard for the death battle immediately resounded throughout the palace.
