Chapter 479: The Xuanwu Gate was never meant to be attacked
Li Zhen thought for a while, then looked in the direction of Le Youyuan, and said softly: "Erlang, this fool has disrupted all my plans, if you want to save him, the only way to save him is to ......."
Li Zhen didn't finish speaking, but Zheng Zhen understood something for the first time, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Isn't it that Your Majesty has entered Beijing?" ”
"If it weren't for that, would you really have such a great ability to make these five towns and 80,000 troops obey me?"
At this moment, Zheng Jin's face changed suddenly, and he asked urgently: "Zeyuan, have you been to the arsenal?" ”
"Been there!" Li Zhen replied.
"Can you destroy the siege materials as well?" Zheng asked further.
Li Zhenmu shook his head suddenly, but then he was stunned, and exclaimed in his mouth: "It's not good!" ”
Without waiting for everyone to react, Li Zhen turned to shout: "Where is Zhao Lang?" ”
......
Xuanwu Gate.
According to common sense, the 20,000 flying horses of the Yulin Army are enough to make this city gate impregnable, but this is only according to common sense.
When the soldiers of the Shence Army pushed the entire seven bulky "bed crossbows" in front of the Xuanwu Gate, the air completely condensed at this moment.
The feathers and forests looked at each other, and the horror in their eyes was already beyond measure, and this panic was not only the worry about the loss of the Xuanwu Gate, but also the worry about the Taiji Palace and the Imperial City.
The only place where there is a bed crossbow in the Taiji Palace and the Imperial City is the arsenal, which means that the Taiji Palace at this moment has been completely controlled by Qiu Shiliang.
The duty of the Yulin Flying Cavalry was only to guard the Xuanwu Gate, and he didn't know anything about what was happening inside and outside the palace, and even inside and outside the capital, but when everyone saw these seven bed crossbows, they instantly understood everything.
Although the number of siege materials in the arsenal is not much, the conventional equipment such as bed crossbows, cloud ladders, and rushing cars are still readily available, and there are four arsenals in Taiji Palace and the Imperial City.
As a barrier between the two palaces, Xuanwu Gate does not have the ability to deal with large-scale siege operations, because even if it was the change that shook the world in the ninth year of Wude, Emperor Taizongwen only laid an ambush in front of Xuanwu Gate; In the first year of Zhongzong Jinglong, the crown prince Li Chongjun instigated a mutiny, and Xuanwumen only blocked a rebel army of hundreds of people.
And today, the Yulin Army Flying Cavalry is facing not only tens of thousands of divine troops, but also all the Miyagi weapons stored in the four arsenals, and there is almost no suspense in breaking through a small Xuanwu Gate.
Moreover, the "Ten Thousand Cavalry" stationed here are not those soldiers who have really experienced battles, but the Praetorian Guards who accompany them in cavalry and shooting.
Although the left and right ten thousand cavalry have long become the full-time guards of the Xuanwu Gate, they cannot compete with Qiu Shiliang's Shence army no matter what.
"Brother Wenli...... What do you think? The bearded general of the left battalion looked at the seven bed crossbows that were ready to be launched under the city, and his eyes revealed deep helplessness.
On his side, on the other hand, was a slightly thinner general of the right battalion, whose face was not much better.
"If we fight, you and I will die! If you retreat ......" the general of the right battalion smiled bitterly: "Hehe, I didn't think about it!" ”
After hearing this, the general of the left battalion threw the barrier knife he had been holding to the ground, and the general of the right battalion glanced at the knife on the ground and said quietly: "If I say retreat, will you kill me?" ”
"Yes!" The general of the left battalion replied without thinking.
After hearing this, the general of the right battalion waved his hand lightly behind him, only to see more than ten soldiers who had already put their feather arrows on the strings to gently gallop back to the standby state.
"It seems that you and I have the same thoughts!" The general of the left battalion said with a smile.
"That being the case...... Let's fight side by side with my brother today! ”
The two faced each other and bowed their hands.
However, the salute has not stopped, and the arrow has arrived.
Seven giant arrows nearly four feet long, under the powerful thrust of the twelve stone bed crossbows, emitted a sharp whistling sound in the air, and smashed towards the city gate of Xuanwu Gate with the power of ten thousand jun.
Bang - bang - bang -
With the seven deafening sounds, the two heavy door panels of the Xuanwu Gate let out a slight tremble, although the seven giant arrows were strong, but they were not enough to smash the city gate open, but the arrows had already been submerged in it, and it was difficult to shake it in the slightest.
It seems that Qiu Shiliang did not intend to forcibly break the city with ladders, rushing cars and other objects, because when the seven arrows were off the string, the seven more arrows were ready to be fired.
Only this time, the tip of the arrow has been lifted a few inches.
Although it is a few inches, after leaving the string is where the sentry tower at the head of the city is located.
Seeing this, the two generals on the left and right shouted sharply: "Today, we and others will live and die together with this door!" ”
The four sentry towers on both sides of the city gate bear the brunt, the bed crossbow is the strongest, but the accuracy is slightly worse, only three of the seven arrows hit the sentry tower, but despite this, the small wooden sentry tower has been shattered under a blow.
The other four arrows slashed across their heads and stabbed straight into the wall of the West Inner Garden in the rear.
Seven arrows followed, only this time there was a rain of arrows.
......
Nishinaien.
Qiu Shiliang's attack attracted all the attention of the defenders of the Xuanwu Gate, so much so that he was completely unaware of the unidentified armor soldiers who were rapidly approaching behind him at this moment.
Bang –
After a heavy thud, the rubble scattered in all directions, and the giant feathered arrow that pierced the wall was easily pulled out by a large, strong hand, leaving only a striking and deep pit.
"Bed crossbow!" Li Mo said in a low voice, his eyes revealing a deep look of worry.
"Qiu Shiliang has seized the arsenal, it seems that he is desperate!"
"The news I just got that reinforcements from all walks of life outside the city have entered the city, surrounding the Taiji Palace and the imperial city solidly!"
After hearing this, Li Mo chuckled, "Brother still doesn't worry about me!" ”
"Do you want to go back and join General Lee?"
Li Mo shook his head and said, "The more this is the case, the more I can't go back, my brother has protected me since I was a child, and I have to do something for him today!" ”
"Hehe, since that's the case, it's all up to Shaolangjun to arrange, it's just that we and Qiu Shiliang have a Xuanwu Gate barrier, how can we get there?"
Li Mo chuckled, pointed at the Xuanwu Gate with his chin, and said, "I think they should need help at this time!" ”
......
Xuanwu Gate.
Although the dense rain of arrows did not cause serious casualties, the defenders were completely unable to launch any effective counterattack, and could only let the Shence army outside the door advance step by step.
More than a dozen rushing cars marched together, and the roaring sound was close to the ears, just waiting for the rushing cars to go under the city gate, and the city was broken only in an instant.
"General!" At this moment, one of the defenders stumbled to the head of the city and reported in a panic: "Inside...... Garden...... Behind...... Someone asked to see him."
After hearing this, the two generals looked at each other, both at a loss, and asked, "Who is it?" What is the department? ”
"Youzhou Li Sima belongs!"
