Chapter 81: The Storm in the Imperial City (4)

In any case, we must take Zhengyangmen, at all costs......

With the words of the crown prince Li Wei echoing in his mind, Wen Qin walked under the Zhengyang Gate with a sword in his hand, looking up at the top of the city tower.

Wen Qin knew that at this moment, on the tower of Zhengyangmen, there was not only the fifth prince Li Wei, but also an elder of his Wen family, who was also his second uncle, Wen Song.

Just like only Liang Qiu Gong and Liang Qiu Wu Ancestor and Sun can command the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army, the Northern Army has always been the Wen family's government soldiers, except for being the son of heaven, only the Wen family's clan can command them.

And now, the Northern Army, which was originally the backing of the crown prince Li Wei, suddenly turned to the fifth prince Li Cheng, and if you want to say that there is no one from the Wen family behind it, Wen Qin will not believe anything.

Looking up at the countless soldiers of the Northern Army on the tower of Zhengyangmen City, Wen Qin took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice, "Wen Qianzheng, I know you are upstairs, come out to see me!" ”

As soon as the words fell, an old man with white hair and beard appeared on the city tower, and after a closer look, it was Wen Song, the elder of the Wen family, and it turned out that Qianzheng was the expression of the old man of the Wen family.

"Ziyuan, what are you doing here? - If the old man has a good memory, the old man has obviously grounded you in the house! ”

Wen Qin's face sank when he heard this, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Wen Qianzheng, I think that you are the elder of my Wen family, and it is my uncle and nephew to give you a chance, and quickly order someone to open the Zhengyang Gate, otherwise, ...... The love between you and my uncle and nephew is broken today! ”

Hearing this, Wen Song was furious, his beard trembled with anger, and he pointed at Wen Qin and scolded angrily, "Shaft, you dare to speak to the old man like this, you have no respect for the elders...... The elders of my Wen family have removed you from the position of head of the family, what qualifications do you have to order the old man? -- Dare to be presumptuous. The old man will expel you from my Wen family! ”

"Expelled me from the writer's house? Expelled my Wen Qin from the Wen family? With a sneer, Wen Qin suddenly burst out laughing, and his laughter was a little sad.

Seeing this, Wen Song's face was even more unsightly, and he scolded angrily, "Son, do you really think the old man doesn't dare?!" ”

Hearing this, Wen Qin sneered, raised his head and said coldly. "Ah, Wen Qin expects that Uncle Ding will not dare! -- The Wen family, except for my brother, are both mediocre talents, and now my brother was unfortunately killed a few days ago, and only I, Wen Qin, are left...... Revitalize the writers. Not the elders, not the uncle, but Wen Qin! - I advise my uncle not to be stubborn, otherwise, if Wen Qin kills together, there will be no half of uncle and nephew affection! ”

"You...... You...... Son! Wen Song trembled angrily, and pointed at Wen Qin and said angrily. The Northern Army listened up and down, and killed this son of a scumbag for the old man first! ”

As soon as the words fell, many of the soldiers of the Northern Army on the city wall raised their bows and arrows and aimed them at Wen Qin. And at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and those soldiers of the Northern Army who raised their bows and arrows aimed at Wen Qin were framed by steel knives in the next second. It's none other than Tongze in their northern army.

Thereinto. An adjutant general pulled out the sword in his hand with a bang and shouted, "Listen, everyone, whoever dares to be unfavorable to the general, even if it is his own brother yesterday, will be killed!" ”

Hearing this, Wen Song's face changed greatly, he pointed at the deputy general, and scolded angrily, "Zhang Qi, what are you doing?" If you want to rebel?! ”

"......" Zhang Qi, the deputy general of the Northern Army, glanced back at Wen Song, and said without changing his face, "Zhang is a rough man, I don't know what the elders are plotting, but since the general is under the city, it will be difficult for the general to obey!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Wen Song's anger turned red, and his finger Zhang Qi shouted, "Those who disobey the general's order, kill!" - Yan Yu, Tian He, kill this traitor! ”

As soon as the words fell, two lieutenant generals on the city tower near Zhengyang Gate immediately pulled out their swords at their waists, and walked towards Zhang Qi with a complicated expression, one of them said, "Zhang Qi, my husband is not kind to me, why dare you be disrespectful to my husband?" ”

Some people may wonder why these two vice presidents of the Northern Army call Wen Song their husbands, and in fact, before Wen Qin succeeded him, Wen Song, the elder of the Wen family, sat in the position of Guanglu Siqing for more than 20 years, and it was precisely because of this that Wen Song was able to dispatch the soldiers of the Northern Army, otherwise, with the piece of tiger talisman he took away from Wen Qin, how could he mobilize the Northern Army [Beiwei]?

"Stop!" Zhang Qi pointed the sword in his hand at the two colleagues of the Northern Army on weekdays, and reprimanded in a deep voice, "The old man is not kind to me, but the general has treated us badly?" - Yan Yu and Tian He, do you two still remember that on the day when the general first led the Northern Army, we made an oath in public and swore allegiance to the general, but today, you and others pointed their sharp arrows at the general, where did you swear at the beginning?! -- For the sake of colleagues, Zhang advises you to wait for the precipice to rein in, otherwise, the brotherhood of the Northern Army will end today! ”

"......" Yan Yu and Tian He glanced at each other when they heard this, and their faces were a little hesitant.

You must know that the Northern Army [Beiwei] has always been loyal to the Wen family, one of the four towns, and the two of them, including Zhang Qi, are both generals of the Wen family's mansion, and their relationship is equivalent to that of the four generals of the Eastern Army and Liang Qiuwu.

It is true that Wen Qin is their lord, but Wen Song is also their old lord, who would have thought that these two uncles and nephews of the Wen family would have a reverse purpose one day, which made them very embarrassed when they were caught in the middle.

Perhaps noticing the hesitation of Yan Yu and Tian He, Wen Song scolded angrily, "Yan Yu and Tian He, what are you waiting for?" Why don't you kill these thieves quickly?! ”

"......" Hearing this, Yan Yu and Tian He glanced at each other, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in their eyes, and they whispered to Zhang Qi, "Brother, I'm sorry!" ”

"Humph!" Zhang Qi sneered, cut off his broken sleeve with a sword, and then raised his arms and shouted, "Listen to the sons of the Northern Army, General Wen Qinwen is my loyal lord...... Kill! ”

Under an order, there was a sudden chaos on the tower of Zhengyangmen, obviously they were both children of the Northern Army, but they drew their swords to each other, and the chaos of the scene was not much inferior to that of the city.

Looking at the incomparably chaotic scene, Wen Song's face was pale, and even the expression of the fifth prince Li Cheng beside him was not very good-looking.

Thinking about it, it was obvious that the Northern Army and the Western Army should join forces to deal with the rhythm of the Jizhou Army under the command of Prince Li Wei, but they didn't want to cause almost half of the soldiers of the Northern Army to defect and draw their swords against each other because of Wen Qin's appearance, how could this not make Li Cheng angry?

Fortunately, the officers and men of the Northern Army who supported Wen Qin did not have an advantage in numbers, which made Li Cheng feel a little reassured.

At the same time, the crown prince Li Wei obviously also noticed the imbalance in the number of soldiers of the northern army on the city tower, and frowned now. glanced back at Jin Ling'er beside him.

As if noticing the gaze of the crown prince Li Wei, Jin Ling'er sneered and said disdainfully, "Li Wei, give the old lady less inches!" - The old lady's deal with you is just to escort you here! ”

Looking deeply at Jin Ling'er for a while, Prince Li Wei said in a deep voice, "Even if this prince owes you a favor...... Whatever you do, whatever you say. This prince has everything! ”

At this moment, Jin Ling'er still didn't know what kind of turn the prince Li Wei's favor would bring to Li Shou, Xie An and others in the future, at this time, her thoughts were still limited to marrying Xie An, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Whatever?"

"Whatever!" Prince Li Wei said in a deep voice.

"......" glanced deeply at the crown prince Li Wei. Jin Ling'er snorted lightly, threw the black dagger in her hand, and fell into the city wall, only to see her step up and fly up, using the black dagger as a springboard, and actually jumped up to the palace wall as high as more than ten zhang, turned over and jumped up to the city tower.

And at this time. The northern army on the city tower was busy with infighting, and no one noticed Jin Ling'er's movements, and by the time Yan Yu and Tian He noticed that something was wrong, Jin Ling'er had already killed the northern army guards on the inside of the palace gate. The soldiers of the Northern Army, who were inclined to Wenqin's side, opened the Zhengyang Gate, the main gate of the palace.

The huge movement of the palace gate opening obviously couldn't hide from Li Cheng and Wen Song on the city tower.

"Kill that woman, Hugh will tell her to open the palace gate!"

But after listening to Wen Song's order, Yan Yu and Tian He led dozens of Northern Army soldiers to abandon Zhang Qi, the former Northern Army brother. Kill Jin Ling'er.

"You want to take the life of the old lady?" Seeing the Northern soldiers rushing to him from all directions, Jin Ling'er sneered. With a flick of both hands, countless iron wires as thin as cicadas were vaguely thrown out, and then with a pull, more than ten soldiers of the Northern Army suddenly had their hands, feet, limbs, and even their heads cut off by something, and blood was splashed everywhere, which was unbearable.

Now, it is obvious that she can no longer show mercy.

"Slut dare!" Seeing that the soldiers under their command were suffering heavy casualties, Yan Yu and Tian He's second generals were furious, and they carried their swords to kill Jin Ling'er, but after taking a few steps, they suddenly stopped and looked at the direction of the palace gate with strange expressions.

Following their line of sight, Wen Qin was holding a shining sword in his hand, and he was walking over step by step from the open Zhengyangmen Palace Gate.

"Leave it to me!" Wen Qin said to Jin Ling'er in an irrefutable tone.

"Shh With a sneer, Jin Ling'er shook her hands, put away the wire, and stepped aside, after all, her purpose was not to kill people in the first place.

Glancing at Jin Ling'er with a little gratitude, Wen Qin slowly walked to Yan Yu and Tian He not far in front of them, took a deep breath, raised the sword in his hand and pointed at the other party, and said coldly, "If you tie your hands or die here, you two will choose one!" ”

"......" Listening to Wen Qin's words full of murderous intent, Yan Yu and Tian He's faces froze, and they glanced at each other rather uneasily.

It's no wonder, after all, Wen Qin's martial arts are enough to squeeze into the top ten in Jijing, in addition to the strength of the four major offerings of the Northern Army, I am afraid that only Chen Bei, Liang Qiu Wu, Jin Ling'er and others can stabilize him, in addition, even Di Bu and Mo Fei of the Dongling Crowd are probably not his opponents, think about it, after all, Wen Qin is the most outstanding handsome man in the younger generation of the Wen family.

Feeling the great oppressive force from Wen Qin, Yan Yu and Tian He's second general glanced at each other, and stubbornly raised their swords to meet them.

Seeing this, Wen Qin flashed a trace of coldness, and saw the sword in his hand turn, and successively clicked the wrists of Yan Yu and Tian He, knocking down the sharp swords in their hands.

"Take it!"

But when he heard Wen Qin's deep shout, he suddenly had a bunch of soldiers from the Northern Army who supported him, pressing Yan Yu and Tian He to the ground, making it difficult for them to move.

At this time, the crown prince Li Wei also came to the city gate under the protection of the former general Xin Ming, the second general of the chariot cavalry, Dong Yao, and all the Jizhou soldiers, frowned and glanced at the corpses everywhere in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Ziyuan, the Jizhou army is definitely not the opponent of the Western Army, once the Jizhou army is defeated, it will be too late!" ”

As the crown prince Li Wei predicted, although the Jizhou army was the regular army of the Great Zhou Jing Division, when the opponent was the soldiers and horses of the four towns such as the Western Army [Xie Fu], it also showed signs of inadequacy, and although the former general Xin Ming and the cavalry general Dong Yao tried their best to command, the defense line of the Jizhou army was gradually disintegrated by the Western Army.

Just a moment ago, there were still more than 10,000 Jizhou troops outside Zhengyang Gate. However, a moment later, there were only a few thousand people left, and these thousands of people were ordered by the crown prince Li Wei to defend Zhengyangmen, not giving the Western army any chance to attack the palace.

Some people may think that Xixiang Hou Han Yi led 20,000 Western troops to attack the Taishan thieves for more than a year, but they have never exterminated the Taishan thieves, how strong can the Western army be?

But in fact, the reason why Xixiang Hou Han Yi could not eliminate the Taishan thieves was only because the Taishan thieves were familiar with the local terrain. Avoiding the real and making up for the false, he wandered around in a roundabout way, attacked the weak points of the Western Army's garrison, and never fought any hard-fought battle with the Western Army for more than a year.

If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that Xixiang Hou Han Yi would have returned triumphantly.

And no wonder. After all, the reputation of the [Four Towns of Jijing] is outside, and it is as strong as the Taishan thieves, and they dare not fight easily.

But then again, what the crown prince Li Wei was wary of was not only the Western Army [Relieve Trouble], but the most fearful thing in his heart was the Eastern Army [Shenwu] led by Liang Qiu Wu. The most attacking iron knight in the four towns of Jijing.

You must know that it has been more than an hour since the Jizhou army entered the city, but the Eastern Army [Shenwu] still has no movement, even. Even the soldiers and horses of Weiwei Temple did not show up, and the crown prince Li Wei was not stupid, of course he knew what this meant.

And Wen Qin obviously understands the stakes, but the problem is. After all, there were only a few people in the Northern Army who supported him, before him. Wen Song has been the secretary of Guanglu Temple for more than 20 years, how can his prestige and prestige be comparable to Wen Qin?

I have to say that the current situation is too unfavorable for the crown prince Li Wei, although he has won the Zhengyang Gate, but he can not set foot in the palace again.

At this time, the five princes Li Cheng and Wen Song and others also stepped down from the city tower, organized the northern army again in the square in the palace, cooperated with the western army outside the Zhengyang Gate, and attacked the Jizhou army under the command of the crown prince Li Wei on both sides.

Looking at his younger brother Li Cheng standing in the midst of countless northern soldiers, commanding the northern army to attack his soldiers and horses, the crown prince Li Wei was angry and anxious, and couldn't help shouting, "Cheng, are you still obsessed with it until now?" - You've already lost! ”

"......" may have heard the shouts of the crown prince Li Wei, and the fifth prince Li Cheng sneered and said, "It is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is obsessed!" - Your Highness hasn't lost yet! As he spoke, he turned his head to look to his side and whispered, "Master Geng! ”

There is no doubt that Master Geng in Li Cheng's mouth is one of the four major offerings of the Northern Army in the palace, [Suzaku General] Geng Nan.

"Your Highness, don't worry, just leave it to me!" With a chuckle, Geng Nan walked in the direction of Prince Li Wei with a red iron halberd in his hand, and said with righteous words in his mouth, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are the crown prince of the current dynasty, and you want to plot a rebellion, Geng Mou, as a court worshipper, has no choice but to take down His Royal Highness the Prince!" As he spoke, he brandished the iron halberd in his hand and killed the crown prince Li Wei.

I have to say that this person is worthy of being favored by Chen Bei and selected as one of the six god generals, his martial arts are really amazing, and ordinary soldiers are not his opponents at all, but seeing the iron halberd in his hand waved again and again, suddenly, the severed arms and stumps flew wildly, and blood splashed everywhere.

However, just when Geng Nan was about to kill the crown prince Li Wei, he suddenly felt that the iron halberd in his hand seemed to be disobedient.

"This is ......" [Suzaku General] Geng Nan frowned and looked at the thin iron wire wrapped around the iron halberd at some point, subconsciously turned his head, frowned and looked not far in front of him, and said contemptuously, "It turned out to be [Ghost Ji], one of the [Four Princesses]......"

Perhaps hearing the contemptuous tone in Geng Nan's words, Jin Ling'er was furious in her heart, secretly thinking that if she hadn't been unwell that day, how could she have been caught?

Thinking of this, Jin Ling'er scolded lightly and said coldly, "Death!" As he spoke, he raised the wire ring in his hand and shook off countless iron wires that were difficult to see with the naked eye, enveloping Geng Nan.

It's not that Jin Ling'er relieved the siege for the crown prince Li Wei, it's just that she was so angry that she was restrained by [Suzaku General] Geng Nan that day, after all, Jin Ling'er was restrained by the other party almost without having time to react that day, how could she swallow this breath?

However, what made Jin Ling'er quite angry was that a guy who didn't have long eyes flashed out behind [Suzaku General] Geng Nan, and he forcibly used the iron rod in his hand to stir the wire she swung together.

"Brother Geng, leave this woman to me!" The man said lightly.

Under Jin Ling'er's angry and angry gaze, Prince Li Wei looked at the man's face changed slightly, and muttered, "[Qinglong General] He Xing ......"

Glancing at Jin Ling'er, Geng Nan shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the crown prince Li Wei, after taking a few steps, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he stopped, because he found that a man appeared in front of the prince Li Wei at some point that made him extremely familiar.

Chen ...... Suddenly! Clenching the iron halberd in his hand, Geng Nan took a defensive posture in an instant.

Under the solemn gaze of Geng Nan, Chen Bei slowly raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and said coldly, "Geng Ghost, if you didn't leave Chen that day, you should know that Chen will definitely come back to find you...... You don't have a chance! ”

"......" Listening to Chen Bei's words full of murderous intent, Geng Nan couldn't help but ooze a little cold sweat on his forehead, and subconsciously pinched the iron halberd in his hand.

At this time, the crown prince Li Wei was looking at Chen Bei's back in surprise.

Who is this guy?

When did it appear here?

Before the crown prince Li Wei could react, suddenly, there was an earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves outside the palace, like thunder in the nine heavens.

As if thinking of something, Prince Li Wei's face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously turned his head, he vaguely saw that there was a cavalry wearing red armor, struggling to impact the back of the Western Army, and it was difficult to scatter the Western Army in a flash.

What a time to come......

Gritting his teeth, Prince Li Wei slowly spit out a woman's name from his mouth.

"Eldest grandson Xiangyu ......"

In his opinion, only that woman who is so wise and almost demonic can grasp the battle situation so accurately.

It's not good, if you continue like this, you will definitely die......

Looking at Li Cheng in the distance, Prince Li Wei frowned deeply.
