Chapter 798: The Battle for the Gate

Chang'an Yongning Gate is a very important gateway among the nine gates. The name of the Yongning Gate guard is Ren An, and he is the cousin of Ren Kuan of Chang'an Ling. He's been guarding this place for years.

Unlike Ren Kuan's cautiousness, Ren An has been chivalrous and conceited since he was a teenager, and often envied those assassins and righteous men in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period who sacrificed their lives to take righteousness. In the army for many years, although he has not made much credit, his reputation is still very loud.

Ren An once spent a few years in the camp of the Northern Army, but unfortunately, with his character, it was difficult to integrate into the Northern Army, which was full of children of powerful people. Later, when he was squeezed out, he came here to guard Yong'anmen, which can be regarded as conscientious, and he has never made a mistake. But a little depression in my heart is always difficult to calm down.

For a long time, the Han army swore to go to the army, and the route taken was to first leave the west gate and north gate of Chang'an. Ren An, who served as the general who defended the city, once stood on the city tower several times and watched the mighty and majestic Han soldiers calmly go away and return generously. In fact, he also really wanted to ride a war horse to fight on the battlefield, but he never had such an opportunity. The years have passed in a flash, and the sharpness and edges and corners of his youth have gradually faded away on the head of this city that has not heard the drums of war.

However, who would have thought that an unprecedented test would suddenly come. The situation in Chang'an changed abruptly, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the southern and northern battalions entered Chang'an and seized actual control of various places. Subsequently, the suspicious guards of the Nine Gates jointly received a stern order, asking them to lead their subordinates to obey the command, cooperate with this operation, close the city gates, and not let anyone enter or leave.

All of a sudden, the situation became severe. Yongning Gate, as a key defense area, gathered thousands of elite soldiers, and the general of Nanying personally commanded the town here, murderous and ready for battle. Although Ren An is a martial artist, he also perceives the unusualness in this.

Sure enough, not long after, Ren An received a message from his cousin who secretly sent him. The court changed greatly, and the prince left, so that he could see the opportunity to move, and if possible, help each other.

Ren An was taken aback. Only then did he know that the nine gates were closed, and the whole city was squeezed, and such a big battle was originally to arrest the prince! Ren An was just an ordinary city gate general, and his subordinates were only directly in charge of a few hundred people. Facing the elite Nanying army, he smiled bitterly and shook his head secretly, I am afraid that in such a game, he will not be able to help much.

Soon, the shouts of killing in the city gradually came in this direction. General Nanying handed down the general order, and the whole army gathered on horseback, prepared with swords and arrows, and surrounded Yongning Gate. Hearing that there was a heavy reward, these proud soldiers were all gearing up and eager to try.

Ren An stood at the head of the city, looking at the tightly closed city gate with a solemn gaze, and his heart was inexplicably sad. The jack gate has been lowered and the drawbridge has been raised high. Isolated from inside and outside, with heavy troops waiting, even if the prince and the others rushed here, it would only be a dead end.

A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves swept through like a tide. From a condescending glance, it was clear that almost everyone in the prince's army was injured and looked very embarrassed. Under the close pursuit of the pursuers behind, it was only more than 100 zhang away from Yongning Gate.

"Stop moving! Prince, hurry up and arrest him! Otherwise, the sword and arrow have no eyes, and Hugh blames his subordinates for being merciless! ”

The general of Nanying shouted loudly, and as he waved his hand, the swords and guns under his hands were erected like a forest, and the front row was full of bows and arrows

Laman, together aimed at the breakouts who came from the city.

The crown prince Liu Ju is now sad and painful in his heart. After experiencing the brutal killing process himself, he realized that he had thought everything too simply. Those people have long wanted to put him to death, Chang'an City has been arranged into an iron wall, and it seems that it is not easy to get out alive today.

Although he did not personally kill a person with his sword, he also splattered a lot of blood on his body and face. This rush and killing, frustration everywhere, and there is never any hope of getting out of the city. And the people around him, in order to protect him, are constantly dying. Looking around, many of the young and familiar squires of the past were no longer to be seen. Their blood splattered under the hooves of distant horses, and life withered like yellow leaves on the ground.

The crown prince Liu Ju hugged his head in pain, if he had known that this was the result, he might not have made such a decision. Staying in Weiyang Palace is just waiting for death by yourself!

"Xiao Lie! No one can stop your knife...... Go on your own and leave me alone! ”

Seeing the figure passing by the horse, the crown prince Liu Ju grabbed the sleeve that was stained red with blood. This was his most faithful squire and brother, and he didn't want him to die here for himself.

"What are you talking about...... Are you going to make me disobey Master's entrustment? Until my knife is broken, I don't think someone will hurt you! ”

Park Yongyeol said this lightly, and shook it slightly, and the long sleeves that had already become a little ragged in the fight were shattered. Staggered with the prince's horses, he did not stop, and rushed directly towards the city gate lined up with thousands of troops.

Sima Xiangru, who followed closely behind, did not return to the elegant image of the past. He had already suffered several wounds, not fatal, but they had penetrated his armor, staining red and red.

"Doctor Sima, for me, the dead and wounded are like this! Me, I...... Shame on you! Take my head in exchange for the rest of the people not to die! ”

Caught in a desperate situation, all he saw was a hideous face, and the prince finally couldn't hold on. With tears in his eyes and a sword across his neck, he was about to kill himself. Sima Xiangru was quick with his eyes, and he snatched the sword, his eyes were about to split, and he shouted bitterly.

"Why did the prince say this! The cause of the emperor's death is unknown, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth of the edict. Treachery and evil are in charge, and this is the autumn of the country's life and death. The prince did not leave such a useful body, waiting for the day when the court was clarified, and he gave up so lightly, is he worthy of the dead soldiers? And is it worthy of the expectations of so many people over the years?! ”

I heard the sword clashing and shouting to kill, and as far as I could see, the remaining warriors around me were desperate to move forward, falling off their horses and dying in the rain of arrows, several heroic ...... The crown prince Liu Ju was remorseful and ashamed, and couldn't help hiding his face and crying. Heaven and earth were sad, war horses neighed, and at this moment, he felt helpless like never before.

In just a few breaths, there was a river of blood in front of Yongning's door. Ren An, the guard general in armor, felt as if a mountain was pressing on his head, and he was about to run out of breath. The long knife in his hand was raised and put down several times, and he wanted to jump off the city with a roar, and like those warriors who were not afraid of life and death, he gave up his body for loyalty.

However, even if he took this life, it would not help at all. Looking at it from a high place, it is better than anyone else to understand that the white-clothed blood-stained guard beside the prince is so powerful, rushing through the rain of arrows with an irresistible momentum and entering the cavalry queue, although it has caused a certain rush to the other party

, but if you want to break through the iron armor barrier of this thousand armies with the strength of one person, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky. What's more, the pursuers behind will arrive immediately, and under the front and rear attacks, these few less than 100 people will be trampled into powder by iron hooves immediately!

"Pass my command, and the whole army is ready to charge. Such a big credit can't be snatched away by those guys in the back! ”

General Nanying is also an arrogant master on weekdays. He had already seen the figure of the prince Liu Ju opposite, but he saw that the pursuers turned to the end of the long street and arrived in a blink of an eye, so he hurriedly gave the order to fight quickly and do his best!

"General, in the midst of the chaos, what if you kill and injure the prince's life?"

A lieutenant beside him reminded him in a low voice. Unexpectedly, the general glared at him and said coldly.

"Lord Shang Shuling doesn't want to get a living burden back...... If we cook for him, won't we save him a lot of trouble? ”

The surrounding generals were in their hearts and didn't dare to say more. Turning around and leading the soldiers and horses under their respective commands, they shouted in unison and charged their horses. Park Yongyeol, who rode alone and went deep into the military formation, could kill ten or hundreds of people...... However, in the face of the charge of thousands of iron horsemen, he was powerless except to protect himself from death.

The heavy-armored and gold-helmeted Nanying general personally rushed forward, and the second long knife was raised high, pointing obliquely into the air. His eyes were firmly fixed on the white horse that was protected by the pro-army, and his goal was very clear, that is, to behead the crown prince Liu Ju under the horse and make a miraculous feat in front of the new monarch.

Dozens of pro-army guards who were still able to barely kill the enemy, and in the face of the surging cavalry rage, none of them turned around and fled. With Sima Xiangru's long sword pointing in the direction, dozens of blades formed a simple defensive formation. They want to use their lives to resist the charge for the crown prince for the last time!

The crown prince Liu Ju was grief-stricken and indignant, and he really wanted to look up to the sky and yell to vent the anger in his chest. It's just that before he could shout out his crazy shout, an arrow shot up into the sky, piercing the air with a sharp whistling sound and soaring into the sky!

On the upper floor of Yongning Gate, Ren An and many soldiers defending the city, who couldn't bear to look at the tragic situation below, suddenly widened their eyes when they raised their heads in surprise when they found the abnormality. In the direction of the arrow, a cavalry in bright armor appeared in the street. The number of people does not seem to be much, that is, seven or eight hundred horses. But even they, the soldiers defending the city, were shocked at first glance by the difference of this cavalry. This is the kind of momentum that only a true soldier of a hundred battles has, and the iron-blooded generosity is intimidating.

"It's ...... Red Fire Army! ”

Ren An blurted out. At the beginning, he once stood in the same position on the tower of this city, and witnessed the demeanor of this world-famous Han iron cavalry when it returned triumphantly. The bloody robe has attracted the attention of countless people. And today, they suddenly appeared here...... When he thought of a possibility, the heart of the Yongning Gate guard beat violently.

Sure enough, his guess was correct. There was hardly the slightest pause, and the next moment, as the first horse neighed, the spear was directed, and the command was issued, and the red fire cavalry turned into a sharp arrow, with a sharp and incomparable edge, and stabbed obliquely to intercept it in this direction.
