Some people say that the palace of the Tang Dynasty is the most gorgeous palace in the world.

Glazed gold tiles, carved railings and jade masonry, surrounded by rockeries, grass and trees. The vermilion city walls and magnificent palaces all symbolize the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

The people of Bianjing City are very familiar with this deep palace compound, they are proud of it, but no one has ever thought of being able to enter it and take a look at the scenery of the inner courtyard.

And now, they are in the courtyard.

All the houses on the four main streets of the east, west, north and south were requisitioned by the imperial court, and as compensation, the imperial palace became their temporary residence. The Imperial Dining Room, Wenxuan Pavilion, and the General Military Mansion were all converted into private residences. The elderly, women, and children are temporary residents, while the stronger men have mostly been dragged to the battlefield.

Unfortunately, the beautiful surroundings and delicious meals did not alleviate the fears of the people, and a haggard woman sat in a rocking chair, holding her young daughter in her arms, her eyes so empty that she looked into the distance in a daze, not knowing what to think.

"Mother, why hasn't Daddy come back yet?"

The girl's innocent voice pulls the woman back to reality. She affectionately kissed the girl on the forehead and smiled: "Daddy is fighting and protecting us." ”

The girl blinked: "Why fight?" ”

The woman explained: "Because there are bad people who want to live in this palace, when we are the masters of the common people. Daddy went to war in order to stop him and let us live a good life. ”

"What's so good here, it's so big, it's easy to get lost!" The girl pouted, tilted her little head and thought about it, and then asked, "That... Can Daddy beat the bad guys? ”

"Yes."

Before the woman could reply, she heard an equally milky voice beside her.

The mother and daughter turned their heads together, only to see a little girl the size of six or seven years old, as cute as a porcelain doll, who appeared beside them at some point.

The girl in her arms rarely saw a female companion of the same age, and clapped her hands happily: "How did my sister know?" ”

Mu Junli looked arrogant and said, "Because my master and grandfather also went to fight the bad guys." ”

"Are your master and grandfather very powerful?"

"Of course." Mu Junli raised her head proudly and said confidently: "With my master and grandfather here, we will definitely win." ”

The people in the room listened to the childish conversation between the two children, but they all smiled knowingly.

A man who threw himself into battle for the sake of his loved ones, an army that has always been invincible, a young but wise emperor. Most importantly, they also have the determination to share their hatred of the enemy.

When such a group of people are combined, what force can stop them?

As the weakest group in Datang, they may not be able to enter the battlefield, but they are extremely convinced of one thing-

Datang will win the final victory, definitely!

*****************************************************

In front of the stable gate, there is a busy scene.

Minyong, who was requisitioned, was building fortifications on the spacious street in front of the palace gate. They pulled up a rope in the middle of the houses on West Street, and piled up wooden barriers and sandbags in front of the city walls. The soldiers in charge of the military quartermaster distributed spears and bows and arrows to the hands of the upright people at the station, as if sending out a piece of sustenance to guard the Tang Dynasty.

The agile youth set up a ladder and climbed to the rooftops of the city walls and on both sides of the street to find the most suitable position for the ambush.

A few generals began to dispatch, commanding thousands of strong men who condensed the last hope of the Tang Dynasty to take place, some tried bows, some held shields, and were making the final preparations before the war.

The young man's eyes flashed with excitement and nervousness, and the unexpected encounter with the picture of going into battle to kill the enemy that he often fantasized about in his mind made them a little dazed, but they were full of anticipation for the sudden battle.

The older ones have a little more heaviness and worry in their eyes.

With a family comes an extra responsibility on their shoulders. Perhaps the image of orphans and widows crying over the corpses covered with white cloth was too cruel, but their hands holding knives tightened, and their belief in survival was strengthened.

Cheng Yunhe was in a couple's place, and about dozens of people were gathering around him.

These people are old and young, men and women. They did not have uniform clothing, and the weapons in their hands were also a variety of swords, guns, swords, and halberds. They are more like a rabble than well-trained soldiers.

Only Cheng Yunhe knows that these people may play an unexpected role.

Sun Changyun, the head of Tieshan Gate, Huo Rang, the master of the Sanxian Village of Wolong Mountain, the master of Qingtian Guanguan, Cui Kaishan, the "Yanfeng Knife", Xu Chunjiang, the master of Bajiquan, and Xie Yingxue, a monk of Qianyi......

These people are all heroes and heroes who founded sects and factions and moved around the world, and they are famous in the rivers and lakes and are admired by the world. What is the same is that they all have a patriotic heart.

can let these people gather together and be willing to send them on the side, and only Feitianmen can do it in the entire Datang.

Directly below the arched palace gate, Qin Tian put on the golden dragon robe that symbolized the Ninety-Five Honor, and seemed to be silently announcing that he was the destiny of heaven and the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty.

He looked at the busy crowd in front of him expressionlessly, without joy or sorrow. I just don't know if the occasional moment of gloom in his eyes means that he feels guilty about these people?

The sixth prince, Qin Yue, was holding a cotton jacket, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, it's cold outside, let's approve clothes." ”

Qin Tian shook his head slightly, and sighed softly: "Uncle Huang, am I a ruthless person?" ”

Qin Yue was slightly stunned and said, "Why did the emperor say this? ”

Qin Tian's eyes swept over everyone and said, "How can someone who is not ruthless let countless innocent people sacrifice in vain?" Perhaps they don't understand until they die that they are just an insignificant pawn in someone else's game. ”

"There are chess pieces to make a game." Qin Yue comforted. "Since ancient times, there has been a river of blood behind the world's disputes. Those who die are never afraid of death, and sacrificing their ego to beat me is their value. Maybe they don't understand that they died so that more people can enjoy peace, and those who should know know know that it is enough. ”

"Enjoy the peace...... It would be nice if this peace hadn't been piled up with human lives. ”

Qin Tian looked up at the sky and sighed: "Uncle Huang, you once told me that when you are an emperor, you must have the world in mind, you must make decisions immediately, you must judge the situation, and you must be patient and ready to go. When the Eight Wildernesses are pacified and the world is dominated, I will be the Holy Monarch of the ages. But you didn't tell me that being an emperor would be so dangerous and so lonely. If we can get through this difficulty, when we talk about this battle a hundred years later, will future generations use the words 'ruthless' to describe me? Hehe, how will they know what kind of struggle and torture a ruthless person will have to endure. ”

"Emperors are always lonely, because there is no second person who can stand in their place and see the world more clearly." Qin Yue said, his eyes slightly red: "What's more, since ancient times, there has never been an emperor like the emperor, who has to bear great pressure from the time he ascends the throne, get along with the traitors day and night, and be false and wronged." The foreign country has not been suppressed, the internal worries still exist, and the emperor has been able to go all the way to today, so that the Tang Dynasty has gradually come back to life, and the old minister is really gratified. ”

Qin Tian's expression was a little downcast, he gently shook Qin Yue's somewhat cold right hand, and said softly: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, you have to believe that today will not be the end of the Tang Dynasty." I have been planning carefully for ten years to get to where I am today. If I want to completely control the Tang Dynasty, this day will have to be faced sooner or later. Although this process is very painful, so painful that it puts Datang in a precarious situation, it will always come, and it can't be avoided. It is only after this calamity that I can become the true master. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, whether I am the true son of heaven or not, let God judge! ”

Qin Yue bowed down and said: "Won, the minister is looking forward to the day when he sees the emperor's grace and the four seas; If you lose, your ministers will live and die with the emperor! ”

Qin Tian smiled with satisfaction: "Datang has you and a judge, which is really my luck." ”

"The ministers are old, and the judges are old." Qin Yue stood up straight and said slowly. "But fortunately, God bless me Datang, and I gave it to the emperor and two tiger generals. There are successors to Datang, which is really gratifying. ”

"You mean Tang An and Dai Tianya?" Qin Tian said the two names without thinking, thought for a moment, and said, "These two people are both talented, but whether they can become the cornerstone of the country will take time to verify." ”

"Your Majesty!"

A loud announcer sounded, interrupting the conversation between the two and drawing everyone's eyes to the east.

On East Street, a group of people was trotting all the way, and the queue was neatly coming in the direction of the palace.

From a distance, none of the armor on their bodies was intact, and some of them were still wearing bandages and marching with the team.

People have an illusion in a trance, and when they see them, it is as if they have seen a battlefield filled with gunpowder, and they have seen the hard fight between you and the death in the roar.

They were the defenders of the East Gate.

Of the 10,000 troops, only a pitiful 4,000 remained. They used their lives one by one to build a wall of flesh and blood.

At the same time, a troop was approaching at a rapid pace on North Street. Compared with the defenders of the East Gate, they are even fewer in number, only about 2,000 people left, and nearly four-fifths of the men and horses have stayed in the positions they hold forever, becoming a wisp of heroic soul that blesses the Tang Dynasty.

At the front of the line coming from North Street, a fast horse rushed to the front. The person on horseback was wearing armor different from that of ordinary troops, and the whole person was dignified and powerful.

When he was still dozens of meters away from the palace gate, Dai Tianya turned over and dismounted, trotted all the way to Qin Tian, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the defenders of the east and north palace gates have been safely evacuated, and now they are only waiting for the men and horses of Tang An and Tang Hou Ye of the West Xuanmen, and all the defenders will be assembled." ”

Qin Tian let out a "hmm" and said, "How many people are left in the two armies?" ”

Dai Tianya paused, and said with some heaviness: "There are 20,000 defenders in the northeast, and there are still ...... left Less than seven thousand. ”

Thirteen thousand, all killed!

This cruel figure made Qin Tian close his eyes and frown a little painfully. It's just that this glimmer of joy was quickly concealed, and when he opened his eyes again, he regained his former calm and wisdom, and said in a calm tone: "I know." Is Thang Long Guard ready? ”

Hearing these domineering three words, Dai Tianya's lowered face had a hint of pride on his face, and he said loudly: "It's all arranged." At the end, 10,000 people were left behind on each street, all equipped with the latest development of 12 consecutive crossbows. Mobei has been training for ten years, although Shenglongwei does not dare to say that he is one enemy and ten, but it is not a problem to deal with the rabble hastily organized in the east, not to mention, the 10,000 iron cavalry led by Lord Hu of Donglingwei has also been killed, and the rebels on the east and north sides have become turtles in the urn, although the emperor can rest assured! ”

Qin Tian nodded, looked at the west from afar, where there was no movement, and muttered, "Everything is ready, there was a wisp of west wind before." Tang An, Tang An, you don't have to disappoint me......"
