The envoy of the guards under the city gate saw that Sun Rongyi's head had been hung on the Xuanwu Gate, and he had lost his sense of proportion, and he didn't know whether to stop or continue the attack, but Sun Rongyi's personal general was sober-minded and said:

"Lord Protector, this must be Yang Zhilian's attempt to kill the lieutenant. He must want to usurp the country and rebel, since he has no holy decree, then His Majesty is still in the palace and is not controlled by him. We must break through the Xuanwu Gate and rescue the emperor, otherwise Yang Zhilian will take the lead, and he will inevitably force His Majesty to issue an edict to implement Lieutenant Sun's charge of rebellion. ”

When the protector heard this, he immediately urged his men and horses to attack the Xuanwu Gate. Xuanwu Gate is in Chang'an City, Guanzhong has been peaceful for more than 20 years, and the city tower is not equipped with rolling stone and sasswood and other city defense equipment. However, when the Xuanwu Gate was built, it was built with the purpose of guarding the imperial palace, and it was built extremely tall, and the surrounding area was flat and open, which was really easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this time, the right Shence army attacked the Xuanwu Gate on its back, although there was a cloud ladder, but it was not easy to attack, and the two sides were glued in front of the Xuanwu Gate for a while.

In the palace, Li Yu was reviewing the chapter in the Hanyuan Palace, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing from the north of the palace, and couldn't help but be shocked, and was about to send someone to ask, when suddenly Li Zhongyan Gou Sheng took Li Deyu and other guards to break in and said:

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, Yang Zhilian occupied the Xuanwu Gate in chaos, and did not let the right Shence army enter the palace, the two sides are fighting, a rebel army is coming to the harem, and it has been killed in front of the door, General Bai is leading the guards and soldiers to block. Your Majesty hastened to take refuge with us. ”

Li Yu was extremely shocked in his heart, but asked in a deep voice:

"Where are the queen and the crown prince?"

"The minion has ordered the guards to invite them."

"What about the prime ministers on duty?"

"The minions don't know, the shouting of killing is coming to the harem, and the prime ministers and scholars know the news, and they may have avoided it temporarily."

"Li Deyu, you take two people to the hospital to have a look, be sure to bring the prime minister and the bachelors out, don't let the rebels hurt one."

"Yes!"

Li Deyu took the order and turned away, Li Zhongyan saw that Li Yu had separated the people instead, and hurriedly shouted:

"Your Majesty!"

But he was stopped by Li Chan:

"Panic what! Gou Sheng, what about Zuo Yu Lin Wei? ”

"Zuo Yu Lin Wei is stationed in Beiyuan, and when he hears the news, he has to pass through Xuanwu Gate, and it takes more than half an hour to detour. Your Majesty, come with me. ”

couldn't help but say, Gou Sheng ordered the two guards to set up Li Yu and flee to Danfeng Gate, and sent the guards to move forward with swords to open the way, and sent the guards to inform Ah Die, Guangyan and the others to fight and retreat.

Danfeng Gate is only more than 1200 meters away from the northernmost hall of Daming Palace, Zichen Palace, closer to Hanyuan Palace, not long after, Li Yu and his party came to Danfeng Gate, Danfeng Gate has already been lit up, Queen Wang, Li Chun and Li Jing Li Wei Youning and so on, Du Huangshang is waiting under the door, upstairs and downstairs soldiers holding weapons, is waiting for a solemn battle, Li Yu heart is a little peaceful. Li Zhongyan hurried from behind, and actually held a sword in his hand, seeing Li Yu and the others standing under the Danfeng Gate, he couldn't help but be very anxious, and shouted to the sergeant guarding the door:

"Quick, quick, open the Danfeng Gate and let Your Majesty out!"

The sergeant was about to hesitate, but Du Huangshang had already shouted:

"Don't open the door!"

To Li recited it:

"Your Majesty has already laid heavy troops inside and outside the palace, and now the traitors are launched in advance, Your Majesty has no horses, even if you go out of the city, you can't go far, it is better to guard according to the Danfeng Gate, and the reinforcements will inevitably come soon."

Li Yu immediately said:

Du Xiang's words are exactly what I mean. Danfeng Gate keeper can be? ”

Two people came out of the side and said:

"Wait here!"

But it was Adie, Guangyan and Wang Dahai, who were ordered to stay. Li Yu asked Ming Danfeng Gate that there were only 100 soldiers, and immediately ordered Adie Guangyan and Wang Dahai to lead these 100 soldiers in front of Danfeng Gate, and gave some comfort to the guards of the gate, saying:

"You all work hard to kill thieves, and there are many of you who are rich or rich."

After Li Yu ascended the throne, he drove to Danfeng Gate several times, all of which were to promulgate benevolent government, and the soldiers were extremely loyal to Li Chen, and when they heard Li Yu say this, the soldiers were even more demoralized and shouted:

"Fight for Your Majesty!"

Li Yu was extremely satisfied and said:

"I'm watching you thieves from the castle tower!"

After that, he took Du Huangshang and others to Danfeng Gate. When looking north, the torches of the rebels had already passed through the Hanyuan Palace, and they expected that their guards had died in battle, and they couldn't help but feel sad and silent for a while.

The soldiers under the city have already lined up in formation, Dezong because the forbidden army was dispersed when the Jingyuan soldiers were in turmoil, relying on Huo Xianming and Dou Wenchang to lead more than 100 eunuchs to protect before fleeing to Fengtian, so he attached great importance to the training of the forbidden army, and the elite of the army were stationed at each gate, Adie Guangyan lined up the soldiers downstairs into three rows, the soldiers in the front row held shields, the middle row held bows, arranged in single and double, and the last row held spears, and he and Wang Dahai held longbows in their hands, standing in front of the army, and shouted upstairs to extinguish the lights.

The rebels soon arrived in front of Danfeng Gate, dozens of people in front of them rode military horses, coming very fast, Adie Guangyan smiled at Wang Dahai and said:

"General Wang, due to the restrictions of the competition rules during the day, the competition was not enjoyable, please see me shoot for General Wang first!"

After saying that, he opened his bow and arrows, and with a "whoosh", one of the first people fell off the horse. The rebels couldn't help but make a commotion, and Wang Dahai on the side didn't answer, he pulled out his longbow and shot down another person. Then Die Guangyan said in a low voice:

"Singular put!"

More than a dozen arrows were fired, and the rebels were in dense formation, and they were immediately knocked down. The even number was just about to be released again, but it was stopped by Adie Guangyan, and the rebels rushed forward again, and Adie Guangyan waited until the singular arrows had been loaded, and shouted again:

"Even number, put!"

The rebels were prepared, and there were not many casualties this time.

At this time, the rebel generals saw that there seemed to be several rows of soldiers in front of them, and knew that they had encountered a strong enemy in front, so they were busy restraining their subordinates. Knowing that there were archers in front of him, he stood at a distance, and Li Yu vaguely saw two people standing side by side on the city tower, and then heard Yang Zhilian shouting:

"Your Majesty can be on the Danfeng Gate? Sun Rongyi and Liu Guangqi rebelled, and the ministers sent troops to kill them, and they came to escort them, so please remove the soldiers from Your Majesty and let me wait to see them. ”

Seeing that no one upstairs answered, he shouted again. Li Yu looked down and saw Ah Die's Guangyan raised his right arm downstairs, knowing that Ah Die's Guangyan was ready, he responded on the city tower:

"Is it really Yang Qing who came? Please hold up the fire and let me see. ”

"Okay, the minister will raise the fire, please Your Majesty also raise the fire so that the minister can see the holy face, and the heart of the soldier will be appeased."

On the city tower, Li Yu gritted his teeth, stood aside slightly, ordered someone to light a fire, and Gou Sheng lit the torch from a distance.

Yang Zhilian saw the torch lit upstairs, but he couldn't see where Li Yu was, thinking that he was standing far away, so he ordered the soldiers to raise the torch in front of him to win Li Chen's trust, just raised the torch, he saw two slender lines rushing in front of him, and his heart said "not good", but he couldn't dodge, two arrows came one after another, shooting Yang Zhilian to death right away, Yang Zhilian's body shook twice, and he was planted off the horse.

The rebels had already arranged for the archers, and when Li Yu appeared, he shot over, and saw that the opposite side shot Yang Zhilian off the horse, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, so he opened his bow and shot upstairs, and the lights that had just been lit upstairs fell in response, and then there was a panic.
