Chapter 322: Xuanwu Gate (II)

"Kill!" Li Yuanji almost futile over and over again to kill those soldiers of the Qin Wangfu who rushed in, even if there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, but they were still firmly guarding the surroundings of Li Jiancheng on the ground, the doors and windows of the Linhu Palace had already been broken, and thousands of soldiers from the Qin Wangfu surrounded the entire hall, not giving them any chance to escape at all.

"Your Highness, the brothers can't hold on, while we still have one hundred and ten people, let's protect and kill His Highness desperately, maybe there is still a way to live!" Finally repelled another attack by the soldiers of the Qin Palace, and a bloodied guard leader said to Li Yuanji with a pleading face.

"I'm not leaving, big brother is here, I won't leave him no matter what!" Li Yuanji yelled viciously, although Li Jiancheng didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he still refused to give up.

"Your Highness! Don't be angry, the prince is no longer good, only if you live, it is possible to avenge the prince and our brothers in the future! The leader of the guards pleaded again, more than five hundred guards have fought so far, and there are less than a hundred people left, and none of them have surrendered or retreated from beginning to end, because they know that surrender is useless, and the King of Qin on the opposite side will definitely not leave any alive.

"Ah~" Li Yuanji suddenly roared in pain when he heard this, he hated his incompetence, hated himself for being too careless, he couldn't even protect his brother, and he hated Li Shimin's ruthlessness and injustice outside, but it was too late to say anything now, especially when he saw Li Jiancheng on the ground with a dead face and no longer like a living person, two lines of tears overflowed in his tiger eyes.

"Your Highness, this is your last chance, if you can escape, please remember to avenge the crown prince and us!" At this time, I saw this leader kneeling down in front of Li Yuanji with a "bang", and the other guards also knelt down silently, and their eyes all showed a determined look, even if it was death, they would escort Li Yuanji to kill!

"Let's go!" Although Li Yuanji was angry, he also knew that now was not the time to play tricks, and it was indeed like the guards said, only if he lived, it would be possible to avenge the eldest brother and them in the future, so in the end, he wiped the tears from his face, came to a dead guard, peeled off his armor, cut off the arrows on his body and put on the armor, and then rushed out of the door with a roar, and those guards also roared and followed closely.

Li Shimin outside was also very anxious at this time, and several attacks were beaten out, but he didn't have any way, because this palace was too small to give full play to their numerical advantage, and Li Yuanji and the others inside had also left life and death behind, but they had nearly 100 casualties on their side but there was no progress at all.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw Li Yuanji leading the broken East Palace guards to kill out, which made Li Shimin also startled, and the defenders outside were not prepared at all, but they were caught off guard by Li Yuanji and others, and almost let them break out of the encirclement for a while.

It's a pity that Li Yuanji is facing Li Shimin, and he also has Wei Chigong and these tiger and wolf generations under him, when he saw that Li Yuanji was about to break out of the encirclement, he suddenly saw a black tower-like general leading dozens of people to rush up, it was Li Yuanji's old opponent Wei Chigong, which also made Li Yuanji desperate, in the face of Cheng Yanjin and others, he may still have the confidence to escape, but in the hands of Wei Chigong, he almost didn't even have the strength to resist.

"King Qi! Let's get caught! Wei Chigong also yelled at this time, in fact, if you don't talk about your position, Wei Chigong still respects Li Yuanji very much, not to mention anything else, being able to defeat and fight repeatedly in his hands is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Kill!" Li Yuanji didn't have any other nonsense, he waved his horse lance and rushed towards Wei Chigong, in the past, the two of them only competed on the school field, and they couldn't show their real strength at all, but now he wants to see how much better Wei Chigong is than himself on the battlefield?

Looking at Li Yuanji who rushed over, Wei Chigong couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then he also slapped his horse to meet him, just when the two horses were staggered, he once again lightly snatched the horse lance in Li Yuanji's hand, and a general lost his weapon on the battlefield, and the next outcome was almost conceivable.

Now it is not a heads-up on the martial arts field, at the moment when Li Yuanji was robbed of his weapon, more than a dozen soldiers immediately surrounded him, and those Donggong guards were blocked behind by Wei Chigong, but Li Yuanji was not willing to be restrained, and pulled out his waist knife to resist desperately, but unfortunately the waist knife was too short, and it was not suitable for resisting the enemy on the horse at all.

At this critical moment, I suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the southwest, and then I saw a team of black cavalry rushing over, the first person was Ma Ye, when he saw Li Yuanji who was in danger, Ma Ye also immediately roared and rushed up, blocking Li Shimin's people in the blink of an eye, and saved Li Yuanji and his party.

"What about the prince?" Ma Ye rushed to Li Yuanji's side and immediately asked anxiously, he received an order from Princess Pingyang to rush to Xuanwu Gate, but he did not go directly to Xuanwu Gate to enter the palace, but came in from the west gate of the palace, using his identity to open the way, although he encountered some obstacles, but finally arrived here smoothly, but he did not see the most important Li Jiancheng, which made his heart sink.

"Big brother, he ......" Li Yuanji was also relieved after being rescued, and almost fell off the horse, but in the end he still endured to sit on the horse, but when Li Jiancheng was mentioned, tears couldn't stop pouring out again, when they killed just now, Li Shimin's soldiers rushed into the Linhu Palace, and it is estimated that Li Jiancheng's body has fallen into Li Shimin's hands.

"Ma Sanbao, you dare to harm me!" Li Shimin didn't expect to kill a horse master at this critical moment, and he also led a thousand elite soldiers, all of which were the elite of the women's army, and they were no worse than his Qin Wangfu soldiers, which made him angry, and at the same time secretly hated why he didn't work hard just now and solve Li Yuanji earlier.

"The princess has a fate, and the last general has to be from, please ask King Qin to hand over the prince!" Ma Ye didn't know that the prince had been killed, so he immediately commanded his subordinates to shrink the formation, and then shouted to Li Shimin.

"Hahahaha~, the prince's head is here!" As soon as Ma Ye's words fell, I saw Wei Chigong laughing and walking out of the Linhu Palace, holding a human head in his hand, which was Li Jiancheng's head.

"Big brother~" Li Yuanji saw Li Jiancheng's head, and he wanted to rush over to fight with Wei Chigong with a roar, but he was pulled by Ma Ye, since Li Jiancheng was dead, he must not let Li Yuanji have an accident again, not to mention that now Li Yuanji is injured, and their forces are not dominant, and they are also looking for death when they rush over.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, I will take King Qi away, if you want someone, then go find the princess!" Ma Ye asked Li Yuanji to not let him be too impulsive, and then he turned his head to Li Shimin and said, although the two sides were already tense at this time, he knew that Li Shimin did not dare to clash with him easily, first, although Li Shimin's troops were a little more, they did not have an overwhelming advantage, and Li Shimin must have more things to do after killing Li Jiancheng, and there was no need to fight them to the death for a Li Yuanji.

"Ma Sanbao, the one who knows the times is Junjie, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future!" Li Shimin threatened again at this time, Li Jiancheng is dead, according to his plan, the next thing is to go to see Li Yuan to force the palace, so that the whole world will be his, and Ma Sanbao offended him at this time, he simply didn't know whether to live or die.

"Hahahaha~, Ma's affairs don't worry about His Royal Highness King Qin, it's still the same sentence, the princess has a life, if His Royal Highness King Qin doesn't let him go, then don't blame His Royal Highness King Qin for being polite!" Ma Ye said and waved his hand, and the whole army immediately put on a formation to change to attack, although Li Shimin's army was more than him, but it was unknown whether the battle would be won or lost?

Seeing Ma Ye so tough, Li Shimin also hated it in his heart, and at the same time looked at his subordinates, since he handed over the military power, the only troops he could use were the personal guards around him, a total of only two thousand people, but after the fight just now, these two thousand people also had a lot of casualties, and their sharpness had also been lost, if there was a conflict with Ma Sanbao at this time, it would be absolutely impossible to disappear him in a short time, in case Li Yuan reacted again, I am afraid that he would be defeated.

"Release!" After Li Shimin weighed it again and again, he finally waved his hand to let Ma Ye leave, anyway, it was just a Li Yuanji, whether he died or not did not have much impact on the overall situation, and the most important thing now was to enter the palace to see Li Yuan.

Seeing that Li Shimin really let himself go as he guessed, Ma Ye also smiled, and then ordered the army to retreat slowly, when facing Li Shimin, he didn't dare to take it lightly, until he finally withdrew a few hundred steps, and then quickly left here.

"Your Highness, if you really let King Qi leave like this, will there be any trouble left in the future?" At this time, I saw Cheng Biting Jin leaning next to Li Shimin and said, it was not that he was ruthless, but when Li Shimin decided to launch a mutiny, he couldn't turn back, so naturally he had to try his best to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

"Now is not the time to pay attention to these, you follow me into the palace, and defend the palace gate to avoid the counterattack of the generals of the East Palace!" Li Shimin stared viciously at the direction where Ma Sanbao left, it's nothing to let Li Yuanji leave now, it's a big deal to wait for him to stabilize the overall situation, and then it's not too late to deal with Li Yuanji's affairs, even if it's Princess Pingyang, don't want to stop him.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he immediately led Wei Chigong and others to rush towards the Ganlu Palace, as long as Li Yuan was dealt with, and then took over the military power of Chang'an City, then no one would be able to stop him in the future.

At the same time, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang finally came to the gate of Chang'an, but the generals guarding the city saw that such a large army was about to enter the city, so they naturally refused to let them in, even if it was Princess Pingyang, after all, Chang'an is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and when more than a certain number of troops enter the city, they must need an order from the imperial court, but in the end, Princess Pingyang didn't care about this, and directly let people break in.

After rushing into Chang'an City, Princess Pingyang once again divided her troops into two ways and sent Xiang Shanzhi to lead an army to meet Ma Ye, while she and Li Xiu and others rushed to the East Palace, which was also Li Xiu's strong request, because he knew that as long as Li Shimin killed Li Jiancheng, then the next step was to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, because Li Chengdao and others would be the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang led the army to run all the way along Suzaku Street, and finally arrived at the East Palace, but when they came to the palace gate, they were blocked again, and they saw a round-faced and short-bearded general on the palace gate leaning out and asking: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know why you led the army here?" ”

The general Li Xiu on the palace gate knew that it was Xue Wanche he had seen when he first came to the East Palace, this person was known as the first brave general under Li Jiancheng, and his archery skills were also extremely outstanding, and even Zhang Shigui, who was known as a divine marksman, was not his opponent.

Without Princess Pingyang stepping forward, Li Xiu took the initiative to pat his horse and said loudly: "General Xue, under Li Xiu, the prince can be in the palace?" ”

"The crown prince and the king of Qi were summoned into the palace by His Majesty, and they should be there for His Majesty now?" Xue Wanche also recognized Li Xiu, and immediately replied, but he seemed to be a little vigilant when he spoke, even if he knew that the crown prince had a good relationship with Princess Pingyang, but now that Princess Pingyang came with a large army, he naturally had to be careful.

Li Xiu also secretly screamed bad when he heard Xue Wanche's answer, originally he hoped that he had guessed wrong, but now it seems that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are probably already more auspicious, and he doesn't know if Li Shimin has succeeded in forcing the palace, if he succeeds, he will definitely blockade the whole city, so they must transfer Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's family members out before this.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu had no choice but to raise his head again and said: "General Xue, I got the news that King Qin ambushed the army at Xuanwu Gate and attacked the prince, I'm afraid that the prince is now more than lucky, you quickly open the palace gate and let us in, and protect the prince and King Qi's family to leave here, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

"What? You say the prince was attacked? Xue Wanche at the head of the city jumped up and yelled almost immediately when he heard this, as if he didn't doubt Li Xiu's words at all, which made Li Xiu also startled, originally he thought that he would have to explain for a long time.

"Open the city gate, inform General Feng, assemble the whole army, and go with Xue to save the prince!" Xue Wanche almost yelled and gave an order, and then the palace door opened so easily, which made Li Xiu a little overwhelmed, and even a little doubtful that Xue Wanche was lacking in heart, this is too easy to trust others, right?

"Don't be surprised Li Xianjiu, Xue Wanche is a well-known tendon, and he is the most loyal to the prince, so it's not surprising to hear that the prince was attacked!" At this moment, He Panren came to Li Xiu's side and said with a smile. However, at this time, Princess Pingyang ordered again, and this women's army finally rushed into the East Palace.
