Li Heng really doesn't know what to do now.

Although he has a big heart, his ability is limited, and his long-term suppressed life makes it difficult for his courage to last - if it weren't for Yang Guozhong's pressing too quickly, and his intention to abolish the establishment was fully revealed, he would have no way to retreat, and Li Jingzhong, Cheng Yuanzhen and others did everything possible to agitate, he might not dare to launch this coup d'état.

An Lushan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard him ask, and after glancing at him, he said: "The matter has come to this point, how can you retreat, naturally you are chasing after you...... Although we have few troops in the city, outside the city, our army is gathering, and it will not take long to arrive, so why should Your Majesty worry? ”

Cheng Qianli's defeat caused the Chang'an Forbidden Army to lose everything, and there were less than 2,000 people left as honor guards. Although the people are recruited, but now that Chang'an has a developed economy, there are fewer people who want to serve as soldiers and make meritorious contributions, and they can't recruit much in a hurry, and all of them add up, only three or four thousand people. Therefore, after An Lushan entered Beijing, he transferred 6,000 An Lushan's troops into Chang'an City to temporarily serve as a forbidden army, and An Lushan dared to launch a coup d'état, which was his first reliance.

The total number of troops An Lushan entered Gyeonggi was 100,000, and there were more than 90,000 scattered all over Chang'an, of which 30,000 were closest to Chang'an, and these were the second reliance of An Lushan.

These troop allocations were originally done by Yang Guozhong, and he was not without defense against An Lushan, but now, his defense has become a complete joke. As An Lushan said, as long as his army enters the city, the resistance in Chang'an City is not worth mentioning!

"So...... Pursue? ”

"Naturally, you have to chase!" An Lushan said: "I'll go!" ”

He summoned one of his men, gave a few commands, and then chased after him with his cronies to the west.

It is not very far from Xingqing Palace to Ganlu Temple, Li Longji, Gao Lishi and other old people were framed, and those palace maids who couldn't run were directly sent to hide by themselves, Shou An and a strong palace maid dragged Yang Yuhuan, and it took more than a quarter of an hour to finally rush to the outside of Ganlu Temple.

Although there was someone to support him, Li Longji was still so tired that he couldn't breathe, and a forbidden army went to bang on the door of Shengye Fang, but in the middle of the night, it was noisy outside, who dared to open the door!

"Open the door, open the door, the holy car is here, get busy!"

"Crash away!"

An Yuanguang shouted, and then slammed sideways towards the door of the fang, and hit it twice, but the door failed to open, and when he was about to hit it for the third time, there was finally a sound inside.

"Who?"

"The holy car is here, open the door quickly!" Chen Xuanli said.

"But An Yuanguang?" The man inside didn't respond, but asked.

"So-and-so! Some-and-so! An Yuanguang's heart moved, and he replied in a loud voice.

If there is really something, flee towards the Ganlu Temple of Shengye Fang, this is Ye Chang's explanation to him, now that I think about it, since Ye Chang has made this arrangement, then there should be someone in the Ganlu Temple to answer.

Sure enough, the door was opened, and in the light of the torches, the bare heads of the seven or eight monks were very distinct. An Yuanguang saw Shanzhi at a glance, and his hanging heart relaxed slightly: "It turns out that Shanzhi is here!" ”

"Ye Shiyi is worried that something will happen, so I will lead the same door to place an order here!" Shanzhi's eyes were blazing: "You can't stay here for a long time, follow me into the temple, the temple is equipped with horses!" ”

"General An...... You were also arranged by Ye Chang? Li Longji took a moment at this time and asked An Yuanguang.

An Yuanguang said with a smile: "Ye Gong saw An Lushan's sneaky behavior and suspected that he was colluding with Yang Guozhong, so he sent his ministers to pretend to take refuge in the Yang family......"

Halfway through his words, someone next to him shouted: "Where am I plotting against me, wronged, it is clear that the prince is colluding with An Lushan, and I am being kept in the dark!" ”

An Yuanguang looked over and found that it was Yang Guozhong, and when everyone fled, Yang Guozhong, Mrs. Qiu Guozhong and others were not separated, and they followed here.

"Who is the one who summoned An Lushan to Gyeonggi? Who is the one who slandered and framed Ye Gong with An Lushan? Who is the one who monopolizes the DPRK and brings disaster to the country and the people? An Yuanguang didn't speak, and Shou An raised his eyebrows unceremoniously: "Yang Guozhong, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

Mrs. Yu Guo was about to speak, but was dragged by Yang Guozhong, and she suddenly realized that now is not the time for peace.

In peacetime, relying on Li Longji's favor, she can not take Shou'an very seriously, but now, their safety is tied to An Yuanguang, Shanzhi and other Ye Chang's subordinates, how can they be rude to Shou'an?

"Ganlu Temple can't stay for a long time, we have to go to the west of the city, and we want to think of meeting with Ye Shiyi." In Ganlu Temple, Shanzhi and the others led a few horses and helped Li Longji onto the horse, he turned to An Yuanguang: "Eleven Lang said that if there is a real change, he will come along Chunmingmen Street to meet us!" ”

He ...... How many soldiers and horses does he have? Li Longji asked.

At this time, most of the soldiers and horses in the city were An Lushan's subordinates, Li Longji could not expect these people to remain loyal, and the few forbidden troops loyal to him were either insufficient in combat effectiveness or did not know the situation, and Li Longji could not count on them either. The only hope is that Ye Chang is prepared and should have some troops.

"Originally, there were nearly 100 guards in the Ye Mansion, and some time ago, I took advantage of the incident of fighting with An Lushan's father and son, and transferred 400 people from the Zhuangzi outside, adding up to no more than 500 people in total." Shanzhi glanced at Li Longji: "After all, it is in the capital, Ye Shiyi must follow the law when he acts, it is us who are also my fellow brothers and nephews, who entered Ganlu Temple in the name of Youfang Monk." ”

Hearing that Ye Chang was only less than five hundred, Li Longji was already very disappointed in his heart, and then he heard that Ye Chang had to follow the law, Rao is Li Longji was super thick-skinned, and he couldn't help but blush slightly at this time.

Loyal and righteous people are subject to the law, but traitors can do whatever they want unscrupulously, and it is none other than Li Longji himself who causes this situation.

"Can Ye Chang come...... At this time, he himself was besieged, right? Wei Jiansu said.

Everyone couldn't help but glare at him angrily, and Wei Jiansu was a little panicked. However, everyone understands that he is right, in this coup, in addition to controlling the palace and city gates, An Lushan and others are going to arrest Ye Chang. Ye Chang only has 500 people, and self-protection is not enough, how can he come?

Just as the midnight bell of the New Year rang, almost all the important places in Chang'an City were attacked by rebels, including Yefu.

The brigade of people dressed in officer and soldier uniforms appeared next to Ye Mansion and surrounded Ye Mansion.

"Ye Chang must be captured alive today!" Li Huaiyu stared at the Ye family members in the crowd, and only felt that his blood was surging. He looked back at the east, feeling a little anxious: "Why haven't you come yet!" ”

According to the prior agreement, they only need to surround Ye Mansion and not let Ye Chang escape. It was An Lushan himself who really commanded the attack - An Lushan had always been unconvinced by Ye Chang's reputation, and he also wanted to personally trample Ye Chang under his feet.

There was a mess in the east, and there was even a fire in the direction of Xingqing Palace, which proved that things were not as smooth as imagined.

However, Li Huaiyu didn't wait long, and after about two quarters of an hour, he saw the sound of people's ears coming from there, and at least hundreds of torches led by about 2,000 soldiers and horses trotted here.

Li Huaiyu was awe-inspiring in his heart: With the men and horses on his side, An Lushan used 3,000 people in order to attack Ye Mansion, which is already one-third of the manpower that An Lushan can use when entering Chang'an City.

However, what appeared in front of Li Huaiyu was not An Lushan, but An Qingzong.

"What's the situation, Ye Changke has come out?" After An Qingzong arrived, he couldn't wait to ask.

"There's been no movement in the house."

"Hit the door, pay attention to it, don't let them get out of the chaos!"

An Qingzong asked a few words casually, and then began to give orders, his eyes were very excited, thinking of the humiliation suffered by the "Fenghua Building" that day, and it must be ten times more important today!

Li Huaiyu has been here for so long, and he has long been ready to attack, because the striking wood used to hit the door was immediately carried up. They were about to crash into the gate of the Ye Mansion, when suddenly the door of the Ye Mansion was opened, and the lights inside were lit up almost at the same time.

This did not surprise An Qingzong and Li Huaiyu, after all, there was such a big movement outside, and it was strange that there was no reaction in the Ye Mansion.

But the people who appeared in front of the gate immediately after, they were taken aback.

Ye Chang was dressed in civilian clothes, stood in front of the door with a smile, and arched his hand outside: "If a guest is visiting, it should be welcomed...... I don't know if it's Dr. An? ”

An Qingzong frowned: "It's me!" ”

"Dr. An didn't come?" Ye Chang was a little disappointed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, but Gongzi An is the same......"

"Ye Chang, what else do you have to say today?" An Qingzong said sharply: "I was insulted too much in Fenghualou that day, and I insulted my father on the royal car, and today I will cut off your dog's head!" ”

"It's too anxious for Junma to say this, when your father sent you, he must have given some orders, right?" Ye Chang pointed to his head: "The wealth of the world is all in this head, and your father Anken will easily cut it off?" ”

An Qingzong couldn't help but be a little speechless for a while.

As Ye Chang said, before he came, An Lushan did have an explanation: if Ye Chang wants to break through the siege and escape, then take his life at any cost, but if Ye Chang does not escape, then capture him alive as much as possible - although Ao Laiguo is a well-known scam and lie, Ye Chang still has a lot of ideas in his head, which is also known to the world.

"Capture it with your hands tied, spare you from death!" After a pause, An Qingzong said again, but this momentum was much weaker than Fang Cai.

Ye Chang said with a smile: "Anjun horse is here, presumably Ling Zun has no time to withdraw, I originally prepared some small gifts for Ling Zun, but now I can only dedicate it to Anjun Ma." ”

An Qingzong didn't believe that Ye Chang would really give any gifts to his father and son, but now that he was in control of the situation, out of the psychology of a cat playing with a mouse, he was not in a hurry to capture Ye Chang immediately, so he sneered: "Ye Chang, in such a situation, what tricks do you still want to play?" ”

"Bring it in." Ye Chang clapped his hands.

An Qingzong looked intently, only to see that under the light of the fire, a young man held a brocade box and sent it to Ye Chang. Ye Chang opened the brocade box and took out two things from it. An Qingzong saw that there was no difference in appearance between the two things, but an iron rod was placed on a curved wooden handle, which looked like a short staff, and he was a little puzzled in his heart: What is Ye Chang doing with this thing?

Ye Chang raised his hand, and pointed the short staff at An Qingzong with both hands, he didn't have any habit of talking nonsense, just a button on the motive, only to hear a loud "boom", the short cane iron rod head spewed red firelight, An Qingzong didn't react, so he screamed "ah", his body seemed to be hit by a hammer, leaned back, and fell directly from the horse.

The war horse under his crotch was also frightened, and he neighed and jumped, and the subordinates of An Lushan around him were also in chaos!

"This is ......" Li Huaiyu's eyes protruded: "What is this?" ”

Not only did he not know, but even the people around Ye Chang didn't know much about what it was!

In the eight years of Tianbao, Ye Chang has already prepared gunpowder, and since then he has asked craftsmen to keep improving gunpowder, and at the same time, he has also found skilled craftsmen, regardless of the cost, it took six years to drill out more than ten suitable iron pipes, and made the two muskets he is holding in his hands now!

Because the barrel is relatively short, this can only be regarded as a handcuff, and the range is only about ten zhang pitifully, which is far worse than a bow and arrow. Ye Chang did not make it into an arquebus, but directly built a percussive flintlock pistol, because the structure is relatively complex, even if it is a skilled craftsman in the clock workshop, it is extremely difficult to polish the suitable bracket, only these two handguns, it takes half a year.

Originally, the flintlock pistol was invented and improved by watchmakers, and Ye Chang spent a lot of money and manpower, and it took several years to have such results!

He was originally preparing for An Lushan - if An Lushan launched a coup d'état, he would definitely come to find him, if he could kill An Lushan in one fell swoop, his soldiers would be chaotic, and then Ye Chang would be able to leave Chang'an calmly. However, An Lushan didn't come, and it was okay to test An Qingxu's gun.

Because the flint at this time still relied on flint, Ye Chang was worried about dumb fire, so when he fired it, he was the same with two shots. However, God cooperated very much, and the first official use of the musket did not appear to be dumb fire. And An Qingzong was protected by dozens of guards, and the distance between him and him was only a little more than six zhang, which was within the range of the handcuff!

However, because of the power, within this range, hitting the vital point can seriously injure the enemy, and if you want to kill it with one hit, you have to rely on some luck. Ye Chang hit An Qingzong with both shots, but one hit the face and the other in the chest. An Qingzong had armor on his chest, and the blow to his chest only broke his ribs, but it was a blow to the face, piercing his cheeks and entering his body, and he didn't know where it went. Although An Qingzong did not lose his breath immediately, he screamed and howled on the ground, and the pain was shocking.

"Kill!"

After Ye Chang shot twice, he immediately took a few steps back, and the guards beside him also stepped forward quickly to protect him. As Ye Chang beckoned, nearly a hundred figures appeared on the walls on both sides of the door.

At this time, Li Huaiyu reacted, and he shouted: "Kill the enemy-"

Before the words fell, nearly a hundred figures on the wall shrank back, but there were many fire points in the air, Li Huaiyu thought it was a rocket at first, but when he looked up, these fire points fell at a speed that was not fast, and it was not a bowstring that was ejected, but should have been thrown with his bare hands.

He didn't know what it was, but for sure, it wasn't a good thing!
