Chapter 243: Escape
Li Shan was anxious, but at the moment, his dozens of guards and personal guards, in terms of numbers, would definitely not be able to defeat this group of soldiers guarding the city gate, but for the safety of Li Shimin and his wife, he must fight with this group of people, even if his head is different, he must protect Li Shimin and his wife from any harm.
"Order, Yangzhou City Commander Military Mansion Chen Wenze, Weng Shi judged chaos, we were ordered to protect the safety of the Holy Empress, all obeyed the order, killed the city wall, opened the city gate, warned the boat, and raised the sword." Li Shan no longer spoke to the general guarding the city gate, and shouted directly.
"Kill." A group of guards and personal guards rushed directly to the city wall with their swords, and they were determined to open the city gate so that Li Shimin and his wife could escape from Yangzhou City.
"The tribes listened to the order, and some people broke into the city gates without permission, and killed them on the spot, regardless of life or death." The general guarding the city gate ordered.
"Kill." There were at least three hundred sergeants on the city walls, and they replied loudly, and they really didn't look at the less than a hundred guards and guards who were about to rush up.
"Jingle bell." The two armies took over, and the sound of swords clashing spread all around, and even many of the people in the city heard it, and they hid in their beds in fright, not daring to make any sound, praying in their hearts that this war would not reach them.
"Holy Lord, Queen." Dozens of guards rushed from the far side of the street, shouting at Li Shimin and his wife who were standing on the side of the street.
"How is the post house now? Why are you the only ones coming back? Li Shimin held the horse lance in his hand and asked the guards who were rushing over.
"Holy Lord, it is our poor guards, this group of black-clothed people is highly powerful, and when they fight with us, they don't care about their lives, which makes me wait for nearly half of my brothers, and let them run away for nearly half of the black-clothed people, please Holy God punish." The guards bowed down to Li Shimin and responded to the battle situation in the post house.
"It's okay, you go and help Li Shan and them, be sure to open the city gate." Li Shimin pointed to the crowd fighting on the city wall and said, his heart was very anxious.
"Yes." After the guards obeyed the order, they rushed to the city wall with their swords and fought hand in hand with Li Shan and them, so that Li Shan and them would not be defeated and retreated one after another.
Li Shimin was anxious in his heart, seeing that the time for fighting was about to pass a quarter of an hour, if the people from the United Military Mansion led the troops to come, he would have no way to run, he just hoped to open the city gate quickly, so that he could go out of the city to the boat, at least on the side of the boat, he still had a few hundred people, and he could resist it.
"Time is running out, you go up to the city wall with me, protect the queen, don't let her be injured." Li Shimin watched the two armies fighting on the city wall, and was anxious.
"Holy Lord, no, these two armies are fighting, the sword has no eyes, don't hurt the Holy Lord and the Queen, let me wait to fight a bloody way." The eight or nine people who were guarding Li Shimin and his wife stopped Li Shimin's approach, which really made Li Shimin fight with weapons and win, then he could only say that he was useless and lost, so everyone could only go to the underworld to report together.
"Don't say more, the time is not in a hurry, protect the queen and kill me." Li Shimin did not listen to the dissuasion, directly held the horse lance, and rushed to the city wall at a rapid trot.
It was not easy to fight to the top of the city wall, this way to kill, it was really not easy, died under Li Shimin's horse lance, no less than dozens of people, with Li Shimin's bravery, it was really a man who could not be opened, the force was strong, and the combat power was able to be one enemy and a hundred, like a bamboo.
"I am Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you disobey the military order, prevent me from going out of the city, Nian Er and other first offenders, put down the sword, open the city gate, otherwise, under my horse lance, it will be your place." Li Shimin stood on the city wall with a horse lance, pointed to many sergeants in front of him, and shouted loudly.
When the soldiers heard that the person in front of them was the current Tang Emperor Li Shimin, they were curious and scared, because they just received their superiors and said that someone had trespassed on the city gate, but now, it was the emperor who appeared, and everyone was scared, and many soldiers began to gradually lay down their arms.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, how can the emperor of the Tang Dynasty appear here today, don't be deceived by him, pick up the sword, and kill me." The general guarding the city knew that if he didn't kill Li Shimin in front of him, he and the others had only one way to die, so he directly raised his sword and shouted to kill him.
People's hearts are crowd-oriented, and people's hearts also have the idea of self-preservation, and some people pick up the weapons they just put down and start to kill, but there are also many soldiers who retreat away, regardless of whether the opposite side is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but those who want to be able to go out of the city in the middle of the night are either officials or nobles, and the sergeants who pick up the sword again only obey the orders of their superiors, and the sergeants who put down their weapons and retreat just want to protect themselves.
"Jingle bell." The sound of fighting has never stopped, but fortunately, Li Shimin's side has opened the city gate, and Li Shimin and his wife are under the protection of guards and personal guards, so they got off the city wall, went out of the city gate, and went to the boat.
And at this moment, from the north of Yangzhou City, a large group of thousands of people ran quickly towards the south gate of the city, and when they came to the city gate, they found that the south gate of the city had been opened.
"Chen Du, did the thieves run away? Why are the gates opened? Chen Wenze shouted loudly towards the city wall.
But there were only a few people on the city wall, and the rest of the people went out of the city to pursue Li Shimin and his wife who fled, but not far from the city wall, there were dozens of sergeants squatting in the battlements.
"Back to the unified army, Captain Chen, they have already gone out of the city to pursue." A man on the top of the city wall poked his head out and responded to the bottom of the city wall.
"Give me chase." Chen Wenze was anxious in his heart, shouted loudly, beat the horse and rushed out of the city, Chen Wenze naturally knew in his heart that if Li Shimin and his wife could not be left behind, then what was waiting for them would be death, and even no one in his family would survive, he originally wanted to use those black-clothed people to kill Li Shimin in the post house, but he didn't go for a long time, just to give this black-clothed man some time, and then avoid suspicion, why not do it? But right now, it is Li Shimin who has run away.
At this time, Li Shimin and the others were running quickly towards the boat by the river, and there were not many guards and personal guards, and there were less than fifty people in the team, if they wanted to stop the pursuit behind, it was unlikely, and only by rushing to the boat as soon as possible could they not be pursued.
"Who's coming?" Many soldiers on the bank of the river who were sailing watched Li Shimin rushing not far away, but because it was dark, they could not be recognized, so they had to ask.
"Protect the Holy Empress, hurry up and inform everyone, and prepare to sail away." Li Shan had already shouted loudly towards the inquiry.
The soldiers guarding the boat, listening to Li Shan's shouting, began to run away to spread the word, and a lot of soldiers were organized, wearing armor and carrying swords, and they ran quickly towards Li Shimin and his group.
"Holy Lord, Queen, I don't know the situation in the city, please punish the Holy Lord." After a general came over with his soldiers, he saw the appearance of Li Shimin and his party, and said with his fists clenched.
"Hurry back to the ship, prepare to leave the ship, notify the government troops from all walks of life, and prepare to assemble to encircle and suppress Yangzhou City." Li Shimin didn't blame anyone, and gave orders as he walked.
Chen Wenze rode his horse and galloped quickly to the boat, and the soldiers of each team carried swords and weapons, ready to fight the boatmen.
"Thief, where to run, charge me, whether you live or die, kill on the spot, archers, shoot me." Chen Wenze saw that Li Shimin and his party were about to get on the boat and leave, and he didn't care whether he could leave Li Shimin or not, so he opened his mouth to rush and kill.
Hundreds of archers shot arrows at the boat, and many soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, and Li Shan escorted Li Shimin and his wife to the boat quickly, waving their swords to block the incoming arrows.
"Holy Lord, Queen, get on the ship quickly, they have a lot of men and horses, and many of our soldiers have fallen to the ground with arrows, so they will start the ship immediately." When Li Shan swung his sword to block, he saw many soldiers on the shore who fell to the ground and died with arrows, and he was anxious, urging Li Shimin and his wife to get on the boat quickly.
"Jingle, clang, bang, bang." All kinds of sounds are mixed together, and they don't know where the sound comes from, Li Shimin and his wife quickly walked to the board (yao four sounds), and they could only get on the boat from the board, but the hatred in Li Shimin's heart, he swore in his heart that he would pacify these corrupt officials in Yangzhou City, and he would definitely catch Chen Wenze and destroy his three clans.
When Li Shimin and his wife got on the boat, one or two hundred soldiers on the shore had already died on the spot, and the enemy's bows and arrows were too sharp, there were many of them, and there were many people, and one person could not defeat ten people.
The three boats started and began to move away from the river bank, Chen Wenze was shocked, if he really wanted to let Li Shimin and the others leave, then he would also die without a place to be buried.
"Archer, come near to the shore, shoot me the three ships, don't stop, bring me my bow and arrows." Chen Wenze shouted loudly to the sergeants.
As soon as the boat left the riverbank, it was attacked by a lot of arrows, but Li Shimin stood on the deck of the boat, looking at the riverbank, and no one else knew what he was thinking.
"Xiu Xiu Xiu" bow and arrow do not want money to shoot at the boat, many arrows will inevitably make the people on the boat be attacked, whether it is dead or wounded, the boat can not stop, even if a few arrows in the body, you have to open the boat for me.
"Huh, hey, hey" Chen Wenze shot three arrows in a row, and it was feasible to leave the river bank some distance, and only a larger angular bow could have such a long range.
"Woo, pounce." Li Shimin stood on the deck, who knew that a long arrow was shooting at him, the speed was so fast, Li Shan didn't have to hurry to block, and directly bombarded Li Shimin to the ground, and the arrow pierced through the abdomen and penetrated the back of the waist.
"Holy Lord, Holy Lord, Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor, Holy Divine Arrow, hurry up and take a look." Li Shan ran to the cabin with Li Shimin in his arms, put Li Shimin on a bed in the warehouse and lay on his side, shouting loudly.
The queen had already heard Li Shan's voice at this time, and hurriedly ran out of other warehouses and went to Li Shimin's warehouse, but she saw that an arrow penetrated through Li Shimin's abdomen, and the arrow was still in Li Shimin's abdomen, Li Shimin was lying on his side on the bed, humming in his mouth.
"Erlang, Erlang." After the queen ran in, she covered her mouth and squatted to look at Li Shimin in front of her, not knowing what to do at all.
"Guanyin, don't be sad, you go out first, the imperial doctor will heal me in a while." Li Shimin opened his mouth and said to the queen, every word he said made him feel unbearable pain.
"Erlang, you don't have anything to do, Gao Ming is still waiting for you to go back to Chang'an, Qingque and Lizhi are still in Fangjia Village, you don't have anything to do." The queen cried and touched Li Shimin's face, in addition to worrying, it could only be helped, after all, she was not a doctor.
"Guanyin, don't be sad, if I have something, please go to Fangjia Village to find Mr. After Li Shimin said this, he fell into a coma, which made the queen even more shocked, but fortunately, several imperial doctors had already run over and began to treat Li Shimin.
"Doctor, how's it going? Is there anything going on in the Holy Place? "The queen is anxious, although Li Shimin has suffered a lot of injuries, but fortunately they have resisted, but now it is the most serious one in her life, the arrow with the thickness of her fingers is not an ordinary arrow, if it is not handled properly, it is a little unbearable, and this little life is not easy to say.
