"Commander Ren, you take Your Majesty and the Queen Mother and leave quickly from the secret passage. Half an hour later, if he couldn't see us, he sealed the entrance to the secret passage, and Hongchang knew where to find the person who answered. As long as you get out of Yique Pass, Dong Thief will not be able to bear you. Whether to stay in Nanyang in the future or move further south depends on the will of His Majesty and the Queen Mother......"

"General Wei, aren't you going to evacuate with us?" Tang Wan asked in surprise.

"In order to cover our rescue operation, General Wei's five hundred personal guards feint to attack Chongde Palace. At this moment, it is estimated that it has been heavily surrounded by the Xiliang army......" Ren Zhong explained.

"Since they are personal guards, they care for their families, so why should the general risk his life?" Tang Wan was puzzled.

"Because I promised them to take them home!"

He Xian's answer made Ren Zhong and the three embroidered messengers behind him awe-inspired. As dead soldiers, they are most willing to be loyal to such a master. If they weren't royal, they would probably not hesitate to change their courts.

Ren Zhong lowered his sword from his waist and handed it to He Xiandao: "This is the Tai'a sword given by the first emperor, the real iron is like clay!" The general took it and used it as an emergency! ”

He Xian's former meteorite heavy sword, since it was lost in the Battle of Luoyan Valley, he switched to the Overlord Gun. The close-fitting saber is created by Ouyang's imitation of the Tangxi sword, which can be regarded as a high-quality product. Ren Zhong gave it to him, and it was more of a hero's emotion. He Xian was not hypocritical, untied his sword, and solemnly exchanged with Ren Zhong.

Tai'a sword was pinned to his waist, and in the palm of the overlord's spear, He Xian tightened his armor belt, and left the Jiade Hall with arrogance, heading to Chongde Gate.

"Zilong, wait for me!"

……

Half an hour ago, Zhang Ji ordered people to close the Chongde Gate and fire arrows for help. To Zhang Ji's surprise, the attacking enemy did not attack, but ransacked the Zhongde Hall in front of the Chongde Gate for the first time, and moved out all the desks, screens, copper lamps and other furniture that should be able to be moved in the hall, blocking the Chongde Gate, so that Zhang Ji and others could not easily kill. Subsequently, the enemy built a defensive fortification facing outward 30 meters outside the Chongde Gate, and assumed a posture of sniping to reinforce the troops.

This made Zhang Ji wonder what this team of 500 people wanted to do after all? Since he is attacking Chongde Gate, the target must be Emperor Liu Xie. If you want to defeat Liu Xie, you must defeat your own guard force at the first time. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a race against time. Because the longer the time drags on, the more reinforcements the Xiliang Army will have. In addition to the 3,000 people deployed in the palace, there were more than 10,000 Xiliang troops in Luoyang City. This enemy army is trying to fight a protracted war, is the leader of the army in his brain bad?

Zhang Ji, who couldn't figure out the context, didn't dare to take risks, and decided to respond to all changes with the same and wait for reinforcements to make the next step.

……

"Report to the captain, the soldiers and horses led by Zuo Zhonglang General Li Dao have passed the Thousand Autumns Long Live Palace, and Mashan is about to arrive!"

"Excellent! Fengzitun pretended to attack Chongde Gate, shouting and killing loudly! Lin Zi, Fire Character, Mountain Character, and Herringbone Situn pay attention to hiding their figures, prepare crossbows, and let the enemy get closer before firing! ”

"No!" The guards received the order and went down to arrange.

……

After receiving Zhang Ji's distress signal, Zuo Zhonglang, who was guarding the South Palace, didn't think about it, and immediately picked up the sergeants under his command and rushed over. Unfortunately, horses are not allowed to be ridden or bows and arrows are allowed in the palace. For the skilled Xiliang cavalry, the combat effectiveness is at least half discounted. On the way to the road, Li Dao also worried about this problem. But after thinking about it, if you can directly attack the Chongde Hall, the core of the entire palace, without alarming the guards of the South Palace and the North Palace, the enemy army must not be a large force. In this way, the number of people will be the biggest advantage of the side.

Sure enough, when Li Wei ran past the Zhongde Hall and saw the enemy army attacking Chongde Gate in front of him, but there were only more than 100 people, he immediately calmed down.

"Sons! The opportunity to make meritorious service has come again! That's a lot of money! Li Wei smiled fiercely and boosted the morale of the Xiliang soldiers under his command, "Array!" One song advances, two songs prepare! ”

The military system of the Han Dynasty was one hundred people, and two tuns were a song.

Although Li Wei was arrogant, after all, he had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and he did not command the soldiers to swarm up. In his opinion, two hundred people in one song can handle the rebellion. If 200 is not enough, then 400 will be enough. This good habit saved Li Dao and his troops.

Yiqu's two hundred Li Dao soldiers drew their waist knives, lined up in a fairly neat queue, and rushed to the face armor army outside the Chongde Gate.

Just when the distance of the Xiliang army was less than fifty steps, behind the rudimentary fortifications, hundreds of swarthy repeaters were suddenly erected!

"Lin Zi and Huo Zi are ready! Crossbow! Three rounds of shooting ready! As Zhao Yun shouted, two hundred crossbow arrows of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" were launched one after another.

The six hundred crossbow arrows instantly intertwined into a storm of death, sweeping Li Daojun's song. The first batch of 200 crossbow arrows had little effect, and most of them hit the bodies of Li Dao's soldiers, making a "ding" sound of metal clashes. It turned out that these Xiliang soldiers' wide new military uniforms were all covered with heart-protecting armor. The Mask-Armor Army, all of whom are veterans of crossbows, discovered the problem and took measures to adjust it. In the second and third rounds of shooting, some people chose to aim at the face of Li Dao's soldiers, while others chose to aim at Li Dao's lower body and thighs. It's insidious, it's unreasonable, but that's war. Either you die, or I live!

Because of the proximity, these adjustments have paid off. Li Wei's soldiers, who were shot by arrows in the front door, didn't even have a chance to wail, and were shot through the head by a crossbow arrow and died. And those Li Dao soldiers who were shot in the legs fell to the ground one after another. Of the two hundred soldiers, one hundred and thirty or forty fell in this storm of crossbows. Li Dao's soldiers were also brave, and when they lost nearly seven floors, they did not flee, but continued to charge forward.

"One round, free fire! The mountain character and the herringbone are two tuns, and the spears are prepared, so you can't let the enemy attack the defensive line! ”

"No!" The Armor Commander shouted.

Li Dao in the distance was pale. Until the last soldier was pierced by a spear and assassinated in front of the enemy formation, Li Dao did not give the order to attack the second song.

The enemy was not as weak as he imagined, it was obvious that this was an elite Han army, although he didn't know which general he belonged to, Li Dao had to admit that they were very strong. They have cunning tactics, know how to show weakness to the enemy, and then show their claws and ambush their prey; They also have extremely powerful firepower, and a single-shot repeater can be combined in their hands? This is equipment that Li Dao has never seen before, when did Dahan have such an artifact?
