Chapter 642: Turning things around

Outside the Tang Dynasty, crises lurk.

At the same time, the same is true outside the city.

Early that morning, Li Qing and Li Shang, many vassal kings, led their soldiers and horses to rush to several city gates in Bingzhou.

Today, they want to disperse the Son of Heaven's pro-army in the city, weaken their forces, and then capture the capital in one fell swoop and capture Li Yu.

Li Lu, the king of Lu, was assigned to the east gate.

For this distribution, he likes it very much, because there is Luo Cheng's Dragon Tooth Army in the east of the city, and the Dragon Tooth Army is in a group with them.

With the Dragon's Tooth Army here, it shouldn't be difficult to capture the East Gate, right?

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Lu wants to have a relationship with Luo Chengpan.

In today's situation, it has become a foregone conclusion that these rebels will break through the capital, but after capturing the capital, who can control the situation depends on whose strength is strong.

The Dragon Tooth Army has 40,000 soldiers and horses, and whoever can control the Dragon Tooth Army will be able to become the new Son of Heaven of the Tang Kingdom.

He wanted to win over Luo Cheng.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses of King Lu came to the east of the city, but what he didn't expect was that when he came to the east of the city, he saw Li Yu standing on the city tower.

He was shocked, as the Son of Heaven who had just ascended the throne, why was Li Yu in the east of the city?

If it were other soldiers, the defense in the east of the city would inevitably be not strict, but with Li Yu, the situation would not be easy to say.

Although he had the confidence to win, the appearance of Li Yu still put him under some pressure.

But fortunately, although Li Yu is here, Luo Cheng's Dragon Tooth Army is also there, and it is a mile away from the city gate, as long as Luo Cheng gives an order, the Dragon Tooth Army can attack at any time.

When he saw the Dragon Tooth Army, Li Lu felt more or less as if he understood something, and now Li Yu wanted to turn over, so he could only hope for the Dragon Tooth Army, he was here, he must have tried to persuade the Dragon Tooth Army.

But how can this happen?

Li Yu killed Luo Yi, Luo Cheng wants to take revenge, like this revenge for killing his father, Luo Cheng will be persuaded to blame.

Thinking of this, Li Lu was also much relieved, so he stepped forward and shouted to Li Yu, "Li Yu, if you are willing to go out of the city and surrender and give up the position of the Son of Heaven, this king may be able to spare you, if not, today is your death." ”

Li Lu said viciously, what he said had no family affection at all, and in front of the imperial power, there was no family affection.

Li Yu stood on the city tower, but he was very calm, just smiled faintly, and said, "King Lu, do you really think that with this little soldier and horse of yours, you can break through my city wall?" ”

"Don't tell me anything that is immortal, your position as the Son of Heaven, this king doesn't recognize it at all, I'll give you a choice now, surrender or not."

Li Yu said, "If you want me to surrender, it's impossible. ”

"In that case, then don't blame this king for being unkind."

As he spoke, Li Lu gave an order, and immediately after, his soldiers and horses rushed towards the city gate frantically, Li Yu stood in the city tower, his eyes moving slightly.

"Archery!"

At the sound of an order, sharp arrows suddenly flew down from the city tower, and Li Lu's soldiers and horses were hindered, but at the same time, King Lu's soldiers and horses also began to cover with sharp arrows.

Li Yu's expression was still calm, he glanced at the Dragon Tooth Army not far away, and after this glance, the Dragon Tooth Army suddenly rushed towards this side.

Li Lu soon discovered the vision of the Dragon Tooth Army, but Li Lu was not worried, he shouted to Luo Cheng instead, "General Luo Xiao, help this king to attack the city, what Li Qing can give you, this king can also give you." ”

But when Li Lu said this, Luo Cheng only showed a sneer of disdain, and then the Dragon Tooth Army rushed over.

As the dragon tooth army guarding the capital, their strength has never been weak, and they have 40,000 soldiers and horses, which can completely surround the soldiers and horses of King Lu.

The killing suddenly started, and the smell of blood spread in the east of the city, Li Lu looked at Luo Cheng, who was constantly fighting, his eyes were solemn, and he shouted, "Luo Cheng, what do you mean, do you want to help Li Qing eliminate dissidents now?" ”

At this time, Li Lu even thought that Luo Cheng was helping Li Qing destroy the people who might compete with Li Qing for the throne, so he was very angry, the city gate had not been breached, and they were going to kill each other?

However, Li Yu on the city tower smiled coldly, "King Lu, do you really think that Luo Cheng is helping Tang Qing eliminate dissidents?" ”

When these words came out, Li Lu's expression suddenly moved, and he said, "Isn't it?" ”

Li Yu nodded: "No!" ”

"How is it possible, how is this possible, you killed his father, how can he still listen to you?"

When the words fell, a person appeared behind Li Yu, this person's face was very long, but it was very powerful, "King Lu said that I Luo Yi?" ”

Seeing Luo Yi, who was already dead, suddenly appear on the city tower, King Lu almost fell off his horse in fright.

"You...... Aren't you already dead? After asking like this, Li Lu seemed to suddenly understand again, "This king knows, this king knows, all this is your Li Yu's plan, so it is, so it is......"

Li Lu is not stupid, since Luo Yi is not dead, then Luo Cheng's desire to seek revenge on Li Yu is naturally fake, everything is just to confuse them, so that they can take it lightly and come to rebel, and then help Li Yu ascend to the throne earlier.

Of course, the most important thing is to get rid of these princes who are a threat to Li Yu.

Li Yu is ruthless, how can he tolerate the existence of a vassal king with different intentions.

"Breakout." Li Lu, who understood everything, had already stopped attacking the city, and now he just wanted to meet Li Qing as soon as possible, in this case, they might still have a chance to win.

King Lu's soldiers and horses protect Li Lu to break through, and the Dragon Tooth Army is slaughtering frantically, for them, if they can kill an enemy now, they will have one less enemy in the future.

Otherwise, when they flee back to fight the other rebels, it will not be easy to destroy them again.

Luo Cheng's silver spear rushed to kill among the rebels, and the Dragon Tooth Army had long held its breath, but now that it has seized the opportunity, it is more fierce than one to kill.

The rebels fell one by one, each running faster than the other, and King Lu, under the protection of a group of loyal guards, barely broke out of the encirclement.

But even if he broke out of the encirclement, most of his soldiers and horses had been lost, and only four or five thousand men remained.

Luo Cheng saw Tang Lu breaking through and was about to lead the troops to chase, but was stopped by Tang Yu on the city tower.

"General Luo, you don't have to chase it, enter the city quickly and guard the city gate."

All the rebels add up to 100,000, and although Luo Cheng's Dragon Tooth Army is powerful, it only has 40,000 soldiers and horses, so it is not cost-effective to fight hard like this.

The best way, naturally, is to defend the city, so that their casualties are small and the casualties of the rebels are large.

As long as they keep weakening the strength of the rebels, when the tiger and wolf army led by Cheng Yanjin comes, they can defeat the rebels and achieve victory.
