"Intended ... This time, if I have an accident with the crown prince, Li Zhan, the eldest son of the Tang Emperor, will be enthroned...! ”

"Your Majesty...!" After Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone present knelt down, and the eldest grandson Wuji said with tears in his eyes: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers are filling with their lives, and they must also protect Your Majesty's safety." ”

"Haha...!" Li Shimin laughed loudly: "I know, I also believe, I just said that in case, leave this holy decree, and there are no other worries, come... Li Yuanchang didn't want to fight with me, well, I will fight with him this time.

Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to go to war with me? ”

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty...!" The ministers present knelt down without hesitation.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Let's go... Fight to the death with Li Yuanchang. ”

And just as this sentence of the decisive battle was finished, suddenly, a gust of wind blew on the Jiucheng Palace, and the direction of this wind was very strange, desperately blowing towards Li Yuanchang's Chinese army tent.

As soon as the wind blew, Li Yuanchang's rebel attack was greatly hindered, the bow and arrow were fired, and before they touched the defenders on Li Shimin's side, the arrows were blown away, and Li Shimin's defenders on the other side were just the opposite, shooting an arrow and shooting more than a hundred steps.

All of a sudden, the victory or defeat of the two sides obviously fell in one direction.

............................

"Kill...!"

There are still murderous voices on the Xuanwu Gate... The attack of the group of madmen of the Lotus Society did not show weakness at all, but fortunately, just when the Xuanwu Gate was about to hold on, the four old generals rushed over to help.

And after waiting for Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chigong, and Niu Jinda to come over, they looked at the corpses of the mountain-like Lotus Society members under the Xuanwu Sect, and also showed a shocked expression.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly looked at Qin Qiong beside him and asked, "Brother Qin... This, this... Are these still not people? ”

Qin Qiong was also shocked by this scene.

Why were the four elders shocked by these members of the Lotus Society, it was because in ancient times, there was a casualty ratio in wars, and in the offensive battle, if all objective factors were at a normal level.

The average army will collapse about 15% or so.

In the battle to defend the city, the defending side does not have statistics (because it is difficult to die on the city walls, and street battles and out-of-town battles are battle against each other). The besieging side is about 30%.

Cold weapons, 10-20% casualties, the formation will fall apart, and then if you die, the rebel army will be slaughtered... But now the Lotus Society below has killed more than thirty percent of the people in the siege.

However, the Lotus Society members below are still attacking like crazy, and they don't take their lives seriously at all, which is really normal.

After a while, Qin Qiong said: "The following should not be a person, okay... Since the other party is not a human being, then we have to treat them the same way we treat animals, don't we just want to use corpses to build a way to siege the city?

Hum... Don't even think about it, pour me fierce fire oil, I'm going to burn all these corpses. ”

"Ahh Brother Qin, this hurts the heavens and ...! Niu Jinda came up with some worry.

Because the ancient people were still very superstitious and believed that one would be buried in the ground, so this burning of corpses seemed to be a bit against the harmony of heaven, but at this time, it was no longer possible to consider this time, you must know that if you really continue to let these corpses like this, it will be really troublesome.

"Burn... I, Qin Qiong, don't know how many times I've died, and I'm afraid of hurting the heavens and the peace, I'll bear all the sins, take the fierce fire oil...! Qin Qiong insisted on doing so.

Soon, the fierce fire oil came, took nearly a thousand cans, poured them all, and threw them down with a torch, only to see a 'boom', and the fire swallowed all the corpses under the city wall.

The firelight illuminated the Xuanwu Gate as if it were daylight.

The eldest grandson Minsheng shouted from behind: "Beast...!" ”

Li Menglong looked at the fire in the sky and immediately shouted to the eldest grandson Minsheng: "Childe, the attack has been blocked, we have more than 10,000 dead and wounded, retreat...!" ”

"Withdraw...?" Who knows, the eldest grandson Minsheng turned around and looked at Li Menglong viciously and shouted: "We have arrived at the Xuanwu Gate, and there is no way to retreat, so I ordered to rush and open the Xuanwu Gate for me." ”

"Huh...?" Li Menglong shouted in surprise: "There is a fire in front, and rushing in is to send you to death...!" ”

"If you die, you have to rush... You must rush me, open the Xuanwu Gate for me, even if all of them are dead, you must also break the Xuanwu Gate for me. ”

Eldest Sun Minsheng is crazy now, he only has one thought in his heart now, that is, to break through the Xuanwu Gate, he doesn't think about the lives of his soldiers at all, you must know that the fire in front of him can't be rushed at all, Li Menglong's anxious tears are about to fall at this time.

He didn't know how to persuade Sun Minsheng.

The fire in front is burned with fierce fire oil, as long as it is stained with a little, the fire can swallow up a person, it is simply an inexplicable existence, Li Menglong has already heard too many screams, at this time, let the troops rush forward, that is to send people to death.

Although Li Menglong is not a good person, he can't do it when he sends people to death like this.

So after thinking about it for a long time, Li Menglong still made a decision, that is, he couldn't let those Lotus Society members die anymore, he wanted to let these people live, not for himself, but for the eldest grandson Minsheng.

After all, it is to keep the green mountains, and I am not afraid of no firewood.

The eldest grandson Minsheng is crazy now, Li Menglong can't accompany him crazy, thinking of this, Li Menglong made up his mind to give an order to order the whole army to stop attacking and withdraw from Xuanwu Gate.

But Li Menglong never thought that his far-reaching behavior for the sake of the eldest grandson Minsheng caused the greatest disgust of the eldest grandson Minsheng.

"Li Menglong... You dare to tamper with our orders. ”

When Changsun Minsheng watched his soldiers retreat, he immediately became angry and found Li Menglong with a sword.

Looking at his eldest grandson Minsheng who was looking at him at this time, Li Menglong immediately began to explain, but Li Menglong didn't expect it, just when he was still thinking that he could explain it clearly.

A long sword pierced into Li Menglong's body.

Then I heard Changsun Minsheng say in Li Menglong's ear: "I don't need people who don't listen to my orders, don't say that you are for my good, I don't need anyone for my good, I am me... So you damn it. ”

This sword pierced Li Menglong's heart steadily and fiercely.

Li Menglong didn't have time to explain too much, and after the eldest grandson Minsheng pulled the long sword out of Li Menglong's body, Li Menglong couldn't die anymore.

After killing his beloved general, the eldest grandson Minsheng issued his own order with red eyes: Kill... Kill... Keep going and kill... Don't leave the only way back for himself and the people of the Lotus Society, at this time, the eldest grandson Minsheng is already completely broken. I love Chinese.com

But at this time, a team of strange soldiers came out, and Li Zhan, with three thousand Xuanjia and one thousand tiger horses, rushed up from behind the eldest grandson Minsheng.

"Poof...!" "Poof...!" "Poof...!" "Poof...!"

The sound of a short crossbow arrow entering the body is followed by the sound of a saber cutting through a human body.

Four thousand of the best cavalry in the Tang Dynasty and even the world, armed to the teeth, killed and blocked... You can't stop it.

The 4,000 cavalry was like a dagger, hatefully piercing the heart of Changsun Minsheng, and when the 4,000 cavalry entered, in the base camp of 30,000 people, they rushed back and forth, and blood was dripping everywhere they went.

Those members of the Lotus Society had no room to fight back at all.

At the same time, the veterans of the Xuanwu Gate city wall also saw the fighters at this time, the gate of the Xuanwu Gate was slowly opened, and the four veterans rushed out.

By the time Li Zhan and the four veterans met victoriously, the 50,000 members of the Lotus Society of the eldest grandson Min Sheng's society were all slaughtered... Even the eldest grandson Minsheng was captured alive.

It's just that after Li Zhan found out that the Lotus Society was actually made by the eldest grandson Minsheng, Li Zhan was a little shocked, and Li Zhan had a deeper understanding of this guy.

But just when Li Zhan thought it was all over.

Suddenly... Someone came from Suzaku Gate to report, saying that Cui Xiu of the Cui family was breaking into the palace... This breaking into the palace is not a trivial matter, if Li Shimin is in the palace, it will be a capital crime for you to break into the palace.

This Cui Xiu is the head of the Cui family, how could he be stupid enough to break into the palace, Qin Qiong on the side immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Your Highness, Cui Xiu must have 100,000 urgent matters." ”

Li Zhan also recognized Qin Qiong's words, so he hurriedly said, "Go to the Vermilion Bird Gate to have a look." ”

After Li Zhan and his entourage came to the Vermilion Bird Gate, Cui Xiu, who saw Li Zhan, was stunned at first, and Niu Jinda said to Cui Xiu: "Master Cui, this is His Royal Highness King Qin, the eldest son of the Tang Emperor...!" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin...?" Cui Xiu was stunned again.

Because the title of King of Qin used to belong to Li Shimin, and now Li Shimin actually gave his title to the Li Zhan in front of him, and the fool also knows that Li Zhan's position in Li Shimin's heart.

So Cui Xiu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Meet His Royal Highness King Qin." ”

To Cui Xiu's surprise, Li Zhan was very kind to Cui Xiu and said: "Excuse yourself from the Cui family... I don't know what happened to the Cui family master coming to the palace at this time? ”

Cui Xiu was slightly stunned, because if you want to know that Li Zhan and Cui Xiu really want to be counted, they should still be enemies, but Li Zhan's kind attitude towards himself let Cui Xiu know why Li Zhan is so valued by Li Shimin.

is not arrogant or impatient, gentle and jade, such a person makes Cui Xiu agree a lot.

Then I saw Cui Xiu hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Highness, please send troops to Jiucheng Palace quickly, at this time, Your Majesty is being surrounded by Li Yuanchang in Jiucheng Palace, which can be said to be in danger." ”

"What did you say...?" Li Zhan was shocked and said, "How could Li Yuanchang attack Jiucheng Palace? ”

Cui Xiu immediately said: "Your Highness, this is absolutely true, in fact, my Cui family has been monitoring Li Yuanchang all along, and in the last Demon Dance incident, Your Majesty didn't believe Li Yuanchang at all."

The son of the old minister is a scapegoat, the Cui family has been keeping an eye on this Li Yuanchang, and just now finally found out Li Yuanchang's movements, so he specially came to report to His Royal Highness. ”

"Well... Good... Cui family master, you did a good job, the matter of Lone and Cui Shouzheng is written off, this time if Lone's father is fine, Lone must play, please allow Cui Shouzheng to return to Chang'an, okay... Now I won't talk to you more! ”

After speaking, Li Zhan looked at Qin Qiong and said, "General Qin... Chang'an City is up to you to take over! ”

"The last general understands...!" Qin Qiong bowed, and then Li Zhan untied his Longquan sword and said, "Anyone who dares to move, there will be no mercy...!" ”

Qin Qiong accepted the Longquan Sword, and then listened to Li Zhan say in Qin Qiong's ear: "Especially the third prince Li Ke, if there is any abnormal movement, if the uncle feels that the bullet can't be suppressed, there will be no mercy...!" ”

Qin Qiong nodded and didn't speak, but what Li Zhan meant, Qin Qiong understood very well, and Qin Qiong also thought that what Li Zhan said was right.

This is Li Zhan... And the reason why Li Zhan is so desperate is to let those princes know that as long as Li Zhan is here, it is impossible for you to rebel, if there is no powerful person to shake, these princes dare to act recklessly.

But if there was a powerful person shaking in front of them, these princes would not dare to have any other thoughts.

After explaining everything, Li Zhan immediately led 3,000 Xuanjia, 1,000 tiger cavalry, and 6,000 Chang'an cavalry to Jiucheng Palace.

At this time, the battle of Jiucheng Palace was also in a state of stalemate, because Li Shimin had the help of the strong wind, and Li Yuanchang couldn't use the bow and arrow, so it was a little difficult to rush to Jiucheng Palace.

Although Li Yuanchang launched several foot attacks, when Li Yuanchang's infantry met Li Shimin's hundred cavalry, to be honest, Li Yuanchang's infantry was not enough to see, and the hundred cavalry were experienced in a hundred battles, even if Li Yuanchang's infantry was retrained, they could not defeat those soldiers who had seen blood.

All of a sudden, both sides fell into a stalemate, one couldn't get in, and the other couldn't escape.

Li Yuanchang finally stopped the attack, gave up the bow and arrow, and began to make siege equipment on the spot, wanting to smash the Jiucheng Palace down with stones.

"How's it going out there now...?" Li Shimin and the others sat in the Jiucheng Palace and asked.

"Li Yuanchang blocked the only way out of the mountain, we can't get out, but the other party can't get in, I see Li Yuanchang's posture at this time, it seems that he is preparing to make siege weapons." Li Junxian quickly analyzed Li Yuanchang's intentions.

"Your Majesty, can we send someone to break through?" Yu Wenshi asked on the side.

"No... The cliffs were so high that we didn't have a long enough rope to climb them, and there really wasn't any chance in the dark if we wanted to climb them. ”

After Li Junxian finished speaking, everyone on the side frowned slightly.

"There's no way at all, I can only wait here to die, can you send one or two people out." The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Junxian with some earnestness.

And here Li Junxian shook his head and said: "If you want to go out, the bow and arrow on the opposite side will be useful, at that time, no one can get out, now what I can do is to hold on, I hope someone can bring the matter of our siege into Chang'an City." ”

"It's hard...!" Fang Xuanling shook his head slightly and said, "Jiucheng Palace is too remote, who will notice here?" ”

This sentence made everyone sigh slightly.

It's just that when everyone was slightly desperate, what they didn't know was that Li Zhan had already led 10,000 cavalry out of Chang'an City... Whether Li Zhan can arrive or not, everything depends on the will of heaven.
