Chapter 209: The Change of Xuanwu Gate (Part II)
Li Shimin said: "Big brother, you better go back to the East Palace!" The affairs of the palace should be left to the people. ”
No one noticed that when they were talking just now, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, had quietly retreated into the camp. With a wave of his hand, he quickly took the three-stone strong bow handed over by the guard.
Don't look at Li Yuanji's usual appearance of being a scoundrel and arrogant, but he has a bit of real kung fu in his hands, starting from Li Tang Jiangshan, the experience of the battlefield over the years has brought his martial arts to a new level.
Pull out the strong bow and aim at Li Shimin on the opposite side. As soon as the string in his hand was loosened, the arrow flew out with a whizz.
"Your Highness, get out of the way."
Niu Jinda, the general under the account of King Qin, finally discovered the ghost plan of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, but it was too late now, and the arrow in Li Yuanji's hand had already been shot.
Hearing the reminder of the general behind him, Li Shimin's sixth sense that he had cultivated over the years saved his life. Without thinking, he quickly lay on his back on the ground, and the arrow only hit his arm.
Burst!
Blood sprawled, and a few drops of blood-red liquid fell to the ground.
"Kill!"
At the moment when Li Shimin was hit by the arrow, both sides issued the ultimate order at the same time.
The two waves of armies quickly rushed together, although Li Shimin's side was outnumbered, but the equipment was not as sophisticated as Li Jiancheng's side, and they were basically second- and third-line soldiers, which could not be compared with the first-line Donggong Praetorian Guard.
Relying on the advantage of numbers, the two sides are fighting with more and less, and the two sides are fighting together.
All kinds of cries quickly rang out, the sound of killing continued, the clashing of weapons continued, and the blood quickly stained the earth. The clear sky was obscured by a large cloud at some point.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Highness." Without further ado, we can only feel the palace quickly. This side is handed over to General Xue to command. Otherwise, Weichen is afraid that it will change later. ”
Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, also said: "Yes! Big brother, let's hurry to the palace, otherwise let Li Shimin arrive first, then it will be too late. ”
Li Jiancheng is not an indecisive person, and he still has certain opinions at critical moments.
His expression turned cold, and he said, "Where is Feng Li, quickly open the way!" Target the Royal Palace. ”
Feng Li said in a loud voice: "Yes, Your Highness." ”
With a wave of the hand. led the most elite East Palace to enter the Vermilion Bird Gate at the sixth rate, and Li Jiancheng took the lead in entering the imperial city under his leadership.
Li Shimin saw that the other party had already entered the imperial city, and was ready to pass through the Xuanwu Gate directly to the palace, if he let the other party arrive first, it would be too late. Moreover, the Xuanwu Gate is still in the other party's grasp.
Thinking of this, how could Li Shimin still sit still, and shouted: "Kill!" Those who dare to stop the king's escort will be killed. ”
Li Shimin was furious. The three armies were furious, and under the brave opening of the way by his generals, the soldiers left behind by Li Jiancheng were not opponents at all, and they were soon killed and retreated into the imperial city. Li Shimin followed behind with a large army and quickly chased after them.
In the Imperial City.
Li Jiancheng, who was the first to enter, had been stopped by the guards in the imperial city. This guard is the shadow laid by Li Shimin, but now he is playing a great role.
Li Shimin led the troops and then felt that the two sides quickly converged. Approaching the charge Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng retreated while fighting, fighting and moving towards the Xuanwu Gate.
They don't know. The imperial city had unknowingly closed its gates, and they were now completely surrounded by it.
Seeing that his side is becoming more and more defeated. Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, shouted: "Big brother, what should we do now? ”
Li Jiancheng had already killed the real fire, and said angrily: "Kill!" As long as we persist until the victory of Xuanwu Gate, it will belong to us. ”
"Kill!"
At this moment, a large number of soldiers suddenly poured in from the Chengtian Gate.
The guard shouted: "Rescue, protect His Royal Highness the Prince, and kill the thief!" ”
With a roar of rage, he led an army of 10,000 behind him to quickly join the battle. The soldiers guarding the imperial city are the most elite front-line soldiers in Datang, and with their joining, the pressure on Li Jiancheng's side has instantly decreased a lot.
Li Jiancheng shouted: "Without further ado, hurry up and follow the palace into the palace to escort." ”
Seeing that Li Jiancheng was about to leave, Li Shimin also shouted: "Hold them back, and the rest of the people will enter the palace with this king to escort them." ”
Li Jiancheng had already rushed to Chengtianmen at this time, and seeing that he was one step closer to Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin finally led someone to catch up.
The gate of Chengtianmen is closed, and if you want to enter the imperial city, you must retreat to Chengtianmen and go to Xuanwu Gate.
Unfortunately, neither of them planned to prepare for the wedding dress of others, and the three brothers met again.
Li Jiancheng sneered: "My good second brother, I can't imagine that you don't even care about your father and emperor for the sake of the throne, do you want to make the world chaotic?" When the sinner of the entire Li family? ”
Li Yuanji also said: "My good second brother, I advise you to go back quickly and stay honestly!" Otherwise, if this news spreads, your appearance of wisdom and martial arts will be torn apart. ”
Li Shimin laughed, his eyes were cold, and he said: "Since the eldest brother and the third brother are so interested, I, as a brother, will tell you a story to help you have fun!" ”
Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd at this time, but they were not worried, although the other party was outnumbered, but it was not as sophisticated as their side, and they couldn't resist it at all under the mutual fight. To be in a hurry, it is also they who are in a hurry.
Li Shimin saw that they were silent, and said: "My good brother, I'm afraid you still don't know that my good sister-in-law has gone out of the wall, right?" And my good third brother, you still just think that the Yang family was taken away by thieves at will? I'm afraid I'm having a good time somewhere in the East Palace right now! ”
Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Li Shimin is talking nonsense! ”
Li Yuanji also said angrily: "Li Shimin doesn't want to provoke the brotherhood between me and my eldest brother. ”
"Kill!"
Li Shimin was indeed delaying time just now, just waiting for the generals here to come over, and now that they have come, they did not hesitate to give the order at the moment.
Inside the Chengtian Gate, the men and horses led by the two sides were very limited, with a total of less than 2,000 people, and a life-and-death struggle quickly started in this big place.
There were people lying down all the time, blood was flying, minced meat was everywhere, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Li Shimin were looking at each other firmly across the crowd.
Rumble!
At this moment, Chengtianmen was violently smashed open from the outside, and a team of elite centaurs quickly rushed in.
He shouted loudly: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General Li ordered me to wait to meet you. ”
Both sides heard the news, Li Jiancheng's side was overjoyed, and Li Shimin's side was furious.
Li Shimin shouted: "Kill! Don't let them come. ”
As he spoke, he drew his sword and threw himself into battle, despite the wound on his arm. (To be continued......)
