Chapter 27: The First Rival
A hundred large stone bullets accurately hit the transverse lintel above the north gate, "boom", the gravel splashed, the transpendicate was broken into several pieces, the masonry was broken, and the city gate was also broken into several pieces, but the back of the city gate was full of sand and soil, and it was still impossible to drive straight in, Zhang Liang was furious when he saw this: "Continue to smash it for me",
Mu Duoli was so anxious that her face was red and her ears were red and she shouted angrily: "Lord Zhang Liang has a strict order not to use trebuchets"
Zhang Liang said sharply regardless of it: "At this time and at that time, if the lord is here, he will not object to the use of trebuchets by the general."
Seeing that Mu Duoli couldn't persuade him, she had to wave her horsewhip hatefully and return to the east gate with her own soldiers, she was not worried that the attack of the trebuchet would destroy the walls of Chang'an City, but that Liu Ziqiu, who had sneaked into the city, would be accidentally injured by a stone bullet, this worry was even stronger after she witnessed the huge power of the trebuchet, although Liu Ziqiu was superior in martial arts and infinitely powerful, but the boulder falling from the sky was not something that human beings could resist
……
In the city, Liu Ziqiu also faintly heard a little "boom, boom" sound, but they stayed in the culvert and didn't know what was going on outside, and it was much more difficult to move forward in the culvert than Liu Ziqiu imagined, and they were scheduled to rush to the exit before dawn, but according to the time, it should be too late
Suddenly, the smell of fat powder in front of him became heavier and heavier, and a glimmer of light could be faintly seen in front of him, Yu Wenkai said excitedly: "The lord is the exit when he crosses this corner."
Liu Ziqiu was overjoyed and said: "Where is the exit of Lord Yuwen in the palace?"
Yu Wenkai thought for a while and said, "If Yang Xuangan hadn't changed the layout of the palace, the exit should be in the Yeting Palace."
"What kind of place is that in the Yeting Palace," Liu Ziqiu was most worried about whether there would be a large number of guards guarding the exit at the exit, after all, if there was an enemy guarding the culvert over there, this group of men and horses in the culvert would definitely pay huge casualties if they wanted to rush out
Yu Wenkai said with a smile: "The lord doesn't know anything, the palace is a place where the palace maids train their skills and engage in all kinds of miscellaneous work, some officials are raided, and the female dependents will also be filled here, and they will become palace slaves, thinking that there should not be a large number of soldiers and horses stationed here."
"No wonder you didn't dissuade Liu from sneaking in from this exit, it turned out that you knew that there wasn't much danger here," Liu Ziqiu nodded at Yu Wenkai with his finger, and said with a smile: "I said, how can there be such a heavy smell of fat powder in this culvert, dare to love, it is where women live, hateful, I don't know how much footwashing water there is here, after I go back, the big guys will take a shower happily to go to bad luck, okay, everyone cheer up first, Liu is the first to go up and take a look."
Of course, he said this just as a joke, so that the soldiers who had traveled for most of the night could relax
At this time, Ji Rentai preemptively said: "The lord let his subordinates go first"
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said: "You say that whoever is stronger than Liu can't beat Liu, don't fight with Liu."
Coming out of the drainage culvert is like grabbing the beach and landing, or like climbing the city, the truth is actually the same, the most important thing is to occupy a beachhead, so that the soldiers who continue to continue can continue to reinforce in, so the first person to get out of the culvert must be able to eliminate the enemy who may be encountered as quickly as possible, to ensure that the people behind can come out safely, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, in order not to be blocked by the enemy in the culvert, Liu Ziqiu must be the first to rush out
It turned out that Liu Ziqiu's worries were completely unnecessary, when he drilled out of the culvert and stepped into a cool river, under the willow trees on the bank, a group of palace girls were practicing dancing in the morning glow, although the big war was imminent, but the lives of these palace maids were not affected too much, no matter who won or lost, they were destined to live in this deep palace for a lifetime
It wasn't until such a big Han palace maid holding a Mo knife suddenly appeared in the Longshou Canal that they let out bursts of screams and fled in all directions
Liu Ziqiu jumped onto the riverbank with a big knife in his hand and shouted: "No one is allowed to run around, and there will be no forgiveness for violators."
In the culvert, a large number of soldiers rushed out with horizontal knives in their hands, and quickly climbed up the riverbank, but those palace maids were very experienced, at first when they saw only Liu Ziqiu alone, they were desperately fleeing, and now seeing a large number of soldiers rushing onto the riverbank, they didn't run, and they crawled on the ground one after another, of course, the panic in the hearts of these palace maids is not there a way to get rid of it for the time being, just a strong hope that these soldiers will not kill innocents indiscriminately
Not far away, there were many women who were also wearing palace clothes, washing clothes, most of these women were prisoners who had not entered the palace, and their families had already experienced a family breakdown, but they were much calmer than those palace maids, they just stopped what they were doing, quietly waited for the fate of these soldiers, and did not even kneel
Liu Ziqiu passed by them with a knife and shouted in a deep voice: "You all stay honestly and keep Liu to make sure you are okay."
Suddenly, a thin girl in the crowd shouted, "Uncle Flyer, you are Uncle Flyer"
Liu Ziqiu was stunned for a moment, and looked over along with the shout, but it was a **-year-old little girl, pale and wearing shabby and ill-fitting palace clothes, a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen this girl for a while
The girl saw Liu Ziqiu turn around and rush over, pounced into his arms, and choked up: "Uncle Flyer, you said that you would take me to fly, I am Lanyue."
Liu Ziqiu suddenly thought about it and said in surprise: "Lanyue, you are the princess of Lanyue, how did you end up here, and how did you become like this?"
Lanyue burst into tears: "That year, I burned Lanyue Tower, and my father sent me to Chang'an in a fit of anger, and then my father and mother died, Yang Xuangan occupied Daxing Palace, drove me from the palace, and they all became slaves, uncle, you have to save me"
That year, if she hadn't burned Lanyue Tower, Liu Ziqiu would not have been able to escape from Shanglin Xiyuan, but she couldn't imagine that the little princess who was rude and willful in the past had fallen to this point today, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but sigh, picked up Lanyue and said: "Lanyue doesn't cry, uncle will take you to fly for a few days, and uncle will let you see your queen mother."
Born in the emperor's family, the relationship between parents and children is very weak, although Lanyue is the biological daughter of Empress Xiao, but when she heard the news that Empress Xiao is still alive, she didn't have much joy, but enjoyed the feeling in Liu Ziqiu's arms, hugged Liu Ziqiu's neck and no longer moved
Liu Ziqiu sighed secretly, waved the Mo knife in his hand in the direction of Daxing Palace, and shouted: "Rushed in and captured Yang Xuangan and Yang Hao alive."
……
At this time, the two armies that entered the city from the exit of Yong'an Canal and Qingming Canal were also successfully assembled, all the way to the south gate, but all the way to the south gate formed a formation in the city to block possible reinforcements, the defenders of the south gate were unprepared, and they were not prepared at all, and suddenly a large number of soldiers and horses in the city were killed in a hurry, where was the opponent of the Western Navy, and in a blink of an eye, the city gate was captured by Shi Danai, and the city gate was opened, and Wen Hao, who was waiting impatiently outside the city, pulled his horse and waved his sword: "Kill"
Nearly 10,000 cavalry swept through the south gate and galloped through the streets and alleys of Chang'an City
The West Navy besieged the city for two days and did not launch an attack until this morning, and only began to attack the north gate this morning, and used trebuchets to attack and smash the city gate, Yang Xuangan immediately began to dispatch troops after getting the news, and at this moment, suddenly a soldier came to report that the enemy had attacked Chang'an from the south gate, Yang Xuangan couldn't help but be shocked, only to know that the fierce offensive at the north gate was just a feint, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly prepare the horse to enter the palace"
Yang Xuangan stayed in his own mansion most of the time, and did not have fun in the Longxi Palace all day long like Yu Wenhua, he also understood that he was qualified to compete with all the princes in the world, and the advantage was that he still had a descendant of Yang Jian in his hands, if Yang Hao was taken away, he would have nothing to rely on, then there would be no difference with Wang Shichong, Liu Wuzhou and others, and he was charged with killing the king, I am afraid that he was not as good as those two people, of course, Yang Xuangan did not know at this time that Wang Shichong had been defeated, and Jiangdu went north to Li Yuan
Just when Yang Xuangan led a large number of cronies to rush to the palace, he heard that a group of enemies had been killed in the palace, where did these enemies come from, Yang Xuangan couldn't figure it out, but at this moment, in order to take the first step to fish out Yang Hao, Yang Xuangan could only rush in
Guarding Yang Hao's side was Yang Xuangan's cronies, who learned that a group of soldiers rushed in from the direction of Yeting Palace, and hurriedly picked up Yang Hao and fled outside the palace, Yang Hao was only five years old and had no parents by his side, a little doll could understand something, so he had to let them move forward
In front of him, he fled to the front of the Daxing Palace, and was colliding with Liu Ziqiu to lead the troops to kill him, Yang Lanyue saw Yang Hao in Liu Ziqiu's arms, and couldn't help shouting: "Hurry up, uncle, catch him, it's he who ordered me to be sent to the court."
As soon as Liu Ziqiu heard it, he knew that Yang Hao was in the middle of those few guardians, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed and rushed over quickly: "Stand and don't kill those who surrender."
"The bold fanatic dares to be rude to His Majesty, Yang Xuangan is here," Yang Xuangan happened to lead the troops to kill far away, so he raised his gun and shouted
Ji Rentai, who followed behind Liu Ziqiu, brandished a horizontal knife and rushed over, Yang Xuangan was not afraid to greet him with a gun, only listened to the sound of "dang", the knife and gun intersected, Ji Rentai only felt that his arms were numb, his hands were loose, and the horizontal knife had already been provoked by Yang Xuangan, in mid-air, Yang Xuangan stepped forward, and the tip of a rifle went straight to Ji Rentai's chest, and Ji Rentai flashed sideways, but unexpectedly, Yang Xuangan's marksmanship was as fast as lightning, and he had already stabbed his right chest, straight through the heavy armor, and Ji Rentai screamed and fell on his back
Ji Rentai is also a famous warrior in the Xihai clan, is one of Liu Ziqiu's two most powerful guards, known for his strength, but he didn't expect to fight with Yang Xuangan only when he was picked up, stabbed to the ground with a horizontal knife, Liu Ziqiu has also seen countless heroes since he crossed, but there is no one whose martial arts can surpass Yang Xuangan, this person is really the first rival he has encountered in his life.
