Chapter Twenty-Five: The Bloody Xuanwu Gate (End)
The crown prince led by Wang Kuang joined the battlefield at the sixth rate, and the battle situation in the Yongdao was suddenly reversed. Countless soldiers dressed in wild goose armor led the soldiers to divide and surround the Xuanjia guard, and the sound of fighting once again resounded in the sky.
"Kill!" Wei Chigong was already covered in blood at this time, both enemies and his own, he did not wear armor and was the most disadvantaged one, and he ran nearly 2,000 miles a day and two nights, which can be said to be completely sleepless support. He himself didn't know how many of his enemies had been crushed by his twin whips, and that he had suffered several scars on his body at this moment. With both hands, he danced the steel whip so loudly that he couldn't enter, and stood in front of the steps to climb the city wall, and behind him was the staircase to the castle tower, and in front of him were the soldiers of the prince's six commands who were flooding in. But his tall body was like a dam to stop the tide, and with him guarding there, no soldier could step a step over the thunder pool.
In the cave of the city gate, the prince took the city gate at the sixth rate, closed the city gate, and the Xuanjia guard outside the city was carrying the battering ram to knock on the city gate, making a 'boom' and 'boom' sound, but it was not so easy to break through the city gate after it was closed, although the Xuanjia guard outside the city had tried his best, but it only knocked the city gate trembling, and he wanted to continue to work hard to open the city gate.
"Don't worry about other people, the old buddies have all gone down the city wall, guarding the steps to the city wall, and protecting King Qin is the top priority now!" Duan Zhixuan shouted loudly when he saw that he couldn't do anything, because the Xuanjia guards who were still in the corridor at this moment were all divided and surrounded, and they were all facing enemies several times their own, and they also fell from the horse one by one with unwilling and angry eyes, with the last hope for life. Completely gone.
The eyes with longing, the armor stained red with blood. All froze at this moment, leaving only the unconscious corpse that was gradually cooling. Fang Xuanling. Du Ruhui, the eldest grandson Wuji, these ministers also drew their swords and rushed down from the city tower, guarding in front of that staircase, Li Er was on it, and the eldest grandson and the three eldest sons of the king of Qin, if these soldiers rushed up, then the top of the palace of the king of Qin would all be captured, and this war for the heir would be lost. So even if it is death, they cannot take a step back.
Cheng Biting Jin was covered in blood. The enemies who were blocking in front of him fell off their horses one by one, and killed them in the direction of Wei Chigong, not only him, but also Qin Qiong, Qu Tutong, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji, these fierce generals of the Tiance Mansion, like sharp knives cutting through the blood-paved roads in the camp of the prince's six rates. Gathering towards a point, the corpses of countless soldiers were left in their path, because the gap was too great, and none of these ordinary soldiers were the best of these people.
Xue Wanqian bit tightly behind Cheng Yanjin. Cheng Yanjin became the slowest person, in addition to clearing the road ahead, he also had to be on guard at all times for the green dragon halberd that Xue Wanqian didn't know when he would sweep in. This blade is so powerful that if you take a hit, you may have to die.
I don't know when a figure appeared next to Cheng Yanjin again. Qin Qiong has a yellow fat horse under his crotch, and a cooked copper wedge in his hand. With a whistling sound, he smashed the head of a soldier who tried to sneak attack on Cheng Yanjin's side, the helmet was deflated, and a stream of sticky blood mixed with Bai Huahua's brain flowed out of the crack in the helmet: "I'll open the way, you guard against Xue Wanyan." ”
Qin Qiong didn't say anything more, he inserted his double gong into the saddle, and put on the horse lance, and a cold light shot out, when the soldiers in front of the two were picked aside one by one like scarecrows, those unmanned horses no longer had their owners to control them, and then scattered and fled, causing even more chaos.
The two of them fought hard, and in addition to the meteor move he had used before, Cheng Biting Jin had one more move, the horse lance swept and swept the enemy on the opposite side directly off the horse, and then naturally there would be countless horse hooves to greet them instead of him. Xue Wancheng followed behind the two of them but there were words of suffering, seeing the two of them killing their own soldiers, but they were powerless to stop it, as long as he attacked the two of them, he would definitely be taken over by Cheng Yanjin, while Qin Qiong was concentrating on dealing with the rest of the ordinary soldiers. It's a lot faster than it used to be.
Finally, the two of them and the others converged at the base of the city wall, several fierce generals of the Tiance Mansion, and all the good warriors in the Wenchen were gathered here, facing the enemy who rushed over together, and the rest of the Xuanjia guards were all lying on the cold stone slabs at this time, and perhaps some were trampled into meat sauce by the galloping horses, and they couldn't even find all the corpses.
"Protect King Qin! Fight to the death! Qin Qiong, as the oldest military general with the most qualifications, shouted in a hoarse voice!
"Fight to the Death......"
"Fight to the Death......"
However, the morale of a dozen or so people at this moment was not inferior to the six chances of the prince who still had three hundred people on the other side, except for a few literati who had just come down from the city wall, the rest of the people were all stained with blood into 'red men', and drops of blood plasma dripped down the armor and along the hem of the clothes on the bluestone slab under him, and gradually rose enchanting blood flowers. Their eyes were as stable as mountains, and their bodies were as tall as the green pines. With the momentum of seeing death as home, facing countless rolling enemies, just like the immovable reef by the river, let the tide wash away, thousands of years of eternity.
Chang He's hands are shaking, this may be the last moment, this time should be the time for him to show his skills, thinking that he was deciding the winner at this critical moment, his heart was boiling: "Haha...... I have always been able to influence the outcome of this battle that decided the fate of the empire, and I am destined to go down in history in the future! Second son, thank you for giving me this opportunity! Lao Chang will definitely live up to the trust! The pride in his heart was stirring, and Chang He's voice was unexpectedly loud, and even Li Jiancheng, who was under the protection of countless soldiers in the city, heard it.
Chang He's voice focused the eyes of Li Er on the city tower and Li Jiancheng under the city wall.
Chang He took out the fire fold, and after blowing it, he lit the things in front of him, and countless thick smoke began to rise, because it was a little far away Li Er didn't see what it was, but it seemed to be some hay and the rest of the things.
Filled with smoke and dust, Chang He took out the horizontal knife on his waist again, and thought about the rope on the side and cut it directly. The bright sword flashed, directly cutting the rope, and the burning thing in front of him was thrown into the air.
Li Kuan stood beside Li Er, seeing this scene, his heart fell heavily for a long time, because of his reasons, history has changed, Li Xiuning survived and actually participated in this coup, and the history records that Xue Wanche will lead troops to counterattack the prince's mansion at this time, but it happened ten days ago, this history has gradually begun to deflect, if Chang He also has a change, there is no real test to take refuge in Li Er, then as long as he doesn't make a move, he can only go over and subdue him and shoot again. Now Chang He set that thing on fire and threw it out as he had explained, and it was over as soon as he said it.
What Li Kuan prepared was to try to solve the Xuanwumen incident without blood. But at the last moment, he still gave up this plan, if he left Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's lives, if these two guys endure to make trouble at the most critical moment in the future, it will not necessarily be a good thing for the entire Tang Dynasty, so it is better to let them all die in this coup d'état as recorded in history.
So he didn't decide to use it at first, but seeing the cruelty of the battle under the city wall, he was nauseous at first, but he still couldn't adapt to it, even if he had so many lives in his hands, but he still couldn't bear it in the face of this bloody scene. I finally suppressed that feeling, and a long time passed, so I hurriedly looked at Chang He and asked him to use that thing to end this tragic fight.
But who would have thought that the previous smooth sailing battle would turn the tide at this moment, and the Xuanjia Guard, who was originally dominant, would completely fall behind here, and from the city tower, there were only a few places left and there was resistance in twos and threes, and the rest were all killed. So Chang He Neng still decided to support Li Er at this time, and used the things prepared by the two of them, which really made Li breathe a sigh of relief.
Burning is a large pile of grass-like things, bundles of bundles are tied, and a little fire oil is poured on one end, mainly for fear of being scattered or extinguished in the air, with billowing smoke, bales of grass fall down to the city wall, it turns out that the rope that Chang He cut is the binding traction of a trebuchet, this trebuchet Chang He has been debugged, and the things thrown out are not far away, but thrown very close. It just so happened that they all fell in the hallway.
After a burst of dodge, there was a slight commotion in the camp led by the sixth prince, but it quickly subsided. It's just some hay, what can it do? The soldiers who got close enough to extinguish the fire in a few or two strokes, leaving only a little spark and smoking haystacks.
However, it was this thick smoke, under the cover of the morning mist, that spread out and slowly filled the entire corridor.
At first, it was a war horse, one by one the war horses originally ran around, but the owner died, and they were uncontrolled, so they roamed this battlefield. But at first, the horses fell to the ground for no reason, and then as if they were contagious, they all fell like this, in a pool of blood, and fell under the wall. On the city tower, Chang He had already fallen to the ground after swinging that knife.
A soldier hurriedly jumped off his horse at the moment when the war horse under him suddenly fell. Then I breathed in that puff of smoke, and my body gradually stopped obeying the call, and I couldn't use my strength, and I fell down like this.
Panic began to spread, and this invisible thing was the most terrifying, especially in this era of ignorance, where legends of gods and ghosts lingered in the minds of these people, and terrifying stories were remembered by them.
Li Jiancheng also began to feel weak in his hands and feet, and the horses under his crotch also fell to the ground: "It's all those grasses, it's wrong to extinguish the smoke!" "As a prince, he still has some ability, and he found the key to the problem at once, but it was too late, and he fell weakly in the corner after saying this. (To be continued......)
