Chapter 173: The Decisive Battle at the Top of the Imperial City (2)

Qianhua Gate, one of the two palace gates connecting the inner court and the outer court in the Taiji Palace, because of the reason for relying on the palace palace, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the palace maids, the door is not closed on weekdays, even after the key at night, the guards are not much, except for some Yulin officers and soldiers, most of them are mainly palace guards, of course, today because of the war, this door is not only closed, the number of guards is also several times more than usual, not too high The palace wall is full of swords and guns out of the sheath of the Yulin soldiers, guarding the last line of defense of the inner court.

At four o'clock, a group of nearly 100 routed soldiers, led by a Yulin military captain, rushed out of the darkness in the direction of the Yeting Palace, stumbled to the front of the Qianhua Gate, and shouted in horror: "Open the door, open the door quickly, the thieves have broken through the West Gate, and they will arrive immediately, ......open the door quickly."

The battle at the west gate was extremely short, it was lost in less than a quarter of an hour, although its movement was not small, but it was completely covered by the tragic fighting in the rest of the places, not only the inner court knew nothing, but even the officers and soldiers guarding the gate did not notice this, until the rout fled to the city gate, the army was shocked to find that the rebels had entered the palace, everyone was shocked, all of them were discolored, and the officers and soldiers of the city gate immediately became a mess.

"Who's down?" After Wei Yuntian, the guard general of the Qianhua Gate and the lieutenant general of the Yulin Army, received the report from his officers and soldiers, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately rushed out of the city gate tower, poked his head out of the city saucer, and shouted at the routed soldiers who were shouting blindly.

"General Wei, open the door quickly, the next official is the left army riding Cao Liu Cheng, the thieves are coming, the general is opening the door quickly, the brothers are grateful for your great kindness." As soon as the officer of the Yulin Army in the captain's costume saw Wei Yuntian poking his head out, he immediately shouted loudly, and his tone was very urgent.

"Liu Cheng, where is General Wang? How many thieves are there? Wei Yuntian was not moved, and hurriedly asked.

"General, the enemy army is huge, I can't count the enemy in the night, General Wang has been killed in battle, Xiaguan and others are desperate to kill it, and the thieves will arrive later, General Wei, for the sake of Xiaguan's uncle, you can pull your brother." Hearing the chaotic footsteps in the direction of the Yeting Palace, Liu Cheng was anxious and hurriedly shouted.

Liu Cheng's official position is not high, and he is not a good person, but his uncle is Li Hezong, the general of the Yulin Army, not Wei Yuntian can offend, at this time, seeing that the thief soldiers have not yet chased, even if the door is opened and Liu Cheng and others enter the door, it is still too late to drop the key, Wei Yuntian hesitated, but still said: "Okay, Liu Qicao is a little later, and the general will order the door to open." As soon as the words fell, he retracted his head from the city saucer, and just wanted to order the door to be opened, but he saw a palace guard in black clothes and black armor flashing out from the side and said: "General Wei, this door can't be opened, the rout downstairs must be a thief pretending, please go and report to Your Majesty quickly, the guard of this city has been taken over by someone." ”

"Commander Wu, what does this mean? The person below would have recognized it, but it was actually Liu Cheng, the nephew of General Li. When Wei Yuntian saw that the person who came was Wu Sheng, the deputy commander of the palace guards, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied - the palace guards are under the jurisdiction of the Inner Chamberlain Province, and are responsible for the protection of the inner court.

Wu Sheng didn't pay attention to Wei Yuntian's question, took out the face token from his waist, held it in his hand, and said coldly: "General Wei just needs to guard the city, and he has his own opinions." Wei Yuntian only glanced at the token, his face suddenly turned pale, he didn't dare to say more, walked to the side, and ordered an officer to go to the Ganlu Hall immediately to report the battle situation, and then began to mobilize troops and horses, and ordered the whole army to enter the battle position immediately.

"Listen to the people below, wait until you leave this place immediately, otherwise don't wonder that a certain person has ordered random arrows to greet you." Wu Sheng watched Wei Yuntian busy with cold eyes, and after the archers were in place, he poked his head out from behind the city saucer and said in a cold voice.

"Brothers, the old gelding dog is ruthless and unjust, and he wants to kill us and others, brothers, go on, crash open the door!" One of the routs shouted, and the crowd of routs immediately rushed towards the city gate, trying to break open the two gates, which were not too thick.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the situation was out of control, Wu Sheng waved his hand without hesitation and ordered the archers who had already been ready to release their arrows.

The Yulin army and the palace guards are not a system, because of the common guards in the palace, there are a lot of small frictions on weekdays, and the grievances are very deep, and they don't look at each other very well, at this moment most of the defenders on the head of the city are Yulin officers and soldiers, and there are only a few less than fifty guards in the palace, and the archers are all Yulin officers and soldiers, so although Wu Sheng answered the order to release the arrows, a group of Ziyulin officers and soldiers hesitated and did not move.

Hearing the clattering of the city gate, Wu Sheng suddenly became anxious, and rushed to Wei Yuntian, who was watching coldly, and shouted: "Wei Yuntian, do you plan to resist the order and disobey?" ”

Wei Yuntian, who was looking at the joke, saw that Wu Sheng carried out the holy decree to suppress himself, and his heart was extremely unhappy, but he didn't dare to openly disobey the order, and in desperation, he could only say with a black face: "Release the arrow!" With this order, more than 150 archers almost at the same time let go of the hand of the string, more than 150 feather arrows roared down the city, so dense arrow rain, the city under the city under those who were rushing to the door of the rout immediately fell twenty or thirty people, this is still because the officers and soldiers defending the city could not bear to shoot their own people, many people deliberately shot the air, otherwise, this arrow rain down, the people under the city are afraid that none of them will be spared, Rao is so, this chaotic arrow down, the group of rout soldiers who are hitting the door immediately panicked, swarming and retreating, retreated straight to the Yeting Palace, then stopped, and jumped there and scolded.

"Hey, such a ruthless gelding, count yourself ruthless!" A tall masked man hiding in the shadow of the Yeting Palace saw that even his own people were shooting on the tower of the city gate, he couldn't help but snort coldly, stroked the flowing white beard on his chest, and waved his hand and said: "Commander Wang, take your people up, the more fierce the attack, the better, follow the wind, and wait for a few to follow as a teacher." ”

"Yes, the subordinate has taken the order!" A rough voice sounded, and a burly man stood up from the shadows, promised loudly, and then waved his hand and shouted: "The whole army is assaulted, up!" Suddenly, nearly three hundred black-clothed masked men rushed out of the shadows, armed with knives and guns, carrying ladders and other siege tools towards the Qianhua Gate, and the group of routs who were originally jumping to the street not only did not escape, but followed closely behind the black-clothed men and also rushed towards the Qianhua Gate, and the battle finally spread to the palace!

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Wu Sheng saw that the thieves were so big, he was immediately anxious, and shouted desperately, and the Yulin officers and soldiers who were panicking suddenly came back to their senses, and hurriedly opened their bows and arrows, and shot bursts of feather arrows at the black-clothed people who rushed to kill under the city, but it was a pity that the Yulin army that was ordered to guard the Qianhua Gate was the one with poor combat strength in the Yulin army, and the accuracy was very limited, coupled with the panic, this wave of arrows rained down, except for the blind cat knocking down the dead mouse and shooting more than a dozen people, it did not slow down the charge of the black-clothed man at allIn just a moment, a large group of black-clothed men had rushed to the city gate, and several ladders were set up at the head of the city amid a cheer, and the tragic siege battle began.

"The palace guards listen to the order and press down the thieves!" Seeing that the situation was critical, Wu Sheng didn't care to accuse the Yulin army of incompetence, waved his hand, and ordered all the palace guards who had been on standby for a long time to go into battle, and more than 60 palace guards in black clothes and black armor immediately divided into several groups, rushed forward, and fought with the black-clothed masked man who took the lead in killing the head of the city. Or archery, or knife and gun leak detection, but also a sound and impressive, although the thieves are brave and not afraid of death, but in a short period of time can not make a breakthrough, the city, the city feather arrows shuttle, the fight is very lively.

"Let's go!" The tall man with a long beard observed for a long time in the dark of the Yeting Palace, seeing that the Yulin Army defending the city had mobilized all the troops to the battlefield of the city gate tower, he no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and took the lead in flying up, under the cover of the night, like a spirit fox, he jumped on the low stone roof of the Yeting Palace, and quietly approached the corner of the Qianhua Gate, and the six black shadows behind him were also fast people, and the whole action was extremely fast, and it did not alarm the defenders who were fighting fiercely on the city gate tower at all. But as soon as the black-clothed man at the head approached the city wall, he suddenly raised his hand, and a flying claw tied to a rope came out of his hand, and hung the city plate almost silently, the man did not stop at all, his hands alternated, his body rose rapidly, and soon fell to the darkness of the city, and the six black shadows followed by him also concocted the same method, and went up to the city head in turn, without the slightest conversation with each other, silently clinging to the city wall and sliding down, disappearing into the darkness of the inner court......

Life and death have always been a serious multiple-choice question, it is the same for anyone, even if it is a brave and fearless general, in the chaos of the army, he does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to survive by luck, every horse charge is an adventure, either life or death, there is no other choice, this reason Li Zhen is very clear, but unfortunately he has no choice, if he can't break through the Hou Junji Department as soon as possible, once he falls into the chaos, his own military disadvantage will be a fatal flaw, therefore, Li Zhen did not hesitate to launch a charge, seeing that the distance between the two sides was close, Li Zhen finally stabbed out a fatal shot - the Dragon Slaying Seven Killing Gun! The gun was very fast, so fast that the whistling sound that pierced the air had not yet sounded, and the tip of the gun had already pierced in front of Hou Junji's body, and the fierce gun wind stirred so that the long beard on Hou Junji's chest rolled upside down, and Shou Mei was even more close to his face.

Can't catch it! Although Hou Junji has been in battle for a long time, he is not known for his bravery, and he knows the power of Li Zhen's gun very well, and he does not dare to take this extremely strong shot at all, so he can only dodge, on the horse, suddenly on an iron plate bridge, his waist is folded, and he lies down, trying to dodge this killer shot, but unfortunately he reacts quickly, Li Zhen's gun is faster, but listening to Li Zhen's loud shout, the gun speed that was already almost to the extreme suddenly accelerated again, and the tip of the gun flashed, and it was handed to Hou Junji's throat.

Finished! Hou Junji was moved at this moment, and it was impossible to dodge again, his face was distorted, his eyes showed a desperate light, and there was no other reaction except waiting for death.

"Look at the guns!"

"Kill!"

Just when Hou Junji was desperate to die, the two guards beside him shot in time, crossed the two guns, and at the same time put on Li Zhen's bright silver gun, trying to block Li Zhen's gun, but unfortunately Li Zhen's divine power was not something that these two little guards could withstand, but listening to the sound of "click", the two guards were shocked with their guns, screamed and fell under the horse, and were trampled into flesh by the swarming cavalry, and Li Zhen's spear was endless, still stubbornly stabbing Hou Junji's throat.

"Ah......" At the moment of life and death, Hou Junji took advantage of the moment when Li Zhen's gun was slightly slowed down to such a line, roared violently, and slammed the horse lance in his hand horizontally, and forced the tip of Li Zhen's gun.

That's right, Li Zhen's gun was slowed down by the two guards, and the strength of the gun disappeared a little, but it was still not something that Hou Junji could take, only heard a loud "bang", Hou Junji only felt that the tiger's mouth was hot, and the horse lance in his hand had been violently shaken into two, and Li Zhen's gun tip was only slightly raised, and it was still stabbing at Hou Junji's jaw very quickly.

A good Hou Junji, worthy of being a veteran who rolled out of the battle array, at this time of crisis, he finally made the right response, with the help of the recoil of the gun being broken, one accelerated and sank, and narrowly avoided Li Zhen's killer shot - the tip of the gun slid against Hou Junji's cheek, just opening a shallow blood groove on Hou Junji's old face.

"Oops!" Hou Junji felt a pain on his face, and involuntarily screamed, and the courage to fight to the death suddenly flew to the clouds, and he didn't even dare to get up, so he lay flat on the horse's back, kicked the horse's belly with his feet, and ran away into the oblique thorn, for fear that Li Zhen would give him another guy, so he didn't wait to sit down, grabbed the reins of the horse in a panic with both hands, controlled the reins, left the troops behind him, and fled to the west without his life.

Fuck, damn old shit! Li Zhen's shot fell short, and when he saw Hou Junji actually left the subordinates who were rushing to kill himself, and fled for his life alone, he suddenly became angry, and the bright silver spear in his hand swung with a swing, and the strong moves were frequent - "Eight sides of the wind and rain will meet Zhongzhou", "Sunshine Three Stacked Waves", "Jiaolong goes to sea", and the Hou family's disciples who rushed to the front were killed one after another, but in a moment, he had already led his troops to kill the enemy cavalry formation, and he didn't care about the Hou family's army foot soldiers who were shouting and screaming not far away, and shouted with a wave of the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Yan Eighteen, you led the army to destroy the remnants of the enemy." , Eagle Big, Eagle Er and this king go to chase Hou Junji! As soon as the words fell, he twisted the horse's head, rushed out in the oblique stab, stared at Hou Junji, who was fleeing frantically not far away, urged the ** war horse, and chased after him, and the head Eagle Da and Ying Er immediately followed closely behind Li Zhen.

As soon as Hou Junji fled, the Hou family's army, which was already demoralized, immediately fell into a leaderless collapse situation, although it was still resisting desperately, how could it withstand the rush of the guards of the Yue Palace, but in a moment the army was defeated like a mountain, scattered and fled, and Yan 18 did not care about the fleeing Hou family's disciples, and led his cavalry to rush to the Hou family army surrounded Chen Liang's department, shouting while rushing: "Hou Junji is dead, put down his arms and live, and those who resist will not be killed!" ”

In such a chaotic battle, how could the officers and soldiers of the Hou family besieging Chen Liang's department be able to distinguish whether the words shouted by Yan Eighteen were true or false, at this time, seeing that Yan Eighteen led his troops to rush over violently, and his own cavalry was completely gone, and immediately chaotic formation, how could they withstand the impact of Yan Eighteen Divisions without a fighting heart, they all dropped their weapons and fled in all directions, but it was a pity that how could the two legs be faster than the four legs of the cavalry, just a moment after the chase battle, Except for a few soldiers who rushed to Chengtianmen Square, most of the soldiers either died or fell to their knees and became prisoners of war of the Yue Wangfu Guards, and at the same time, the battles in the East Palace and Xuanwu Gate also came to an end, and the war outside the imperial city gradually subsided.

Fuck, damn old monkey, you can fucking run! Li Zhen desperately urged the ** war horse, constantly accelerating, trying to catch up with Hou Junji as soon as possible, but unfortunately Hou Junji started first, although the ** war horse and riding skills are not as good as Li Zhen, but after all, he grabbed the first hand, Li Zhen will not be able to catch up for a while, can only be secretly anxious, eager to shoot Hou Junji off the horse with an arrow, the problem is that Li Zhen has thrown the big iron bow on the battlefield in the previous melee, and he can only be secretly annoyed at this time, but he can't attack with arrows, so he has no choice but to chase with his head in a hurry.

Poor Hou Junji is not known for his bravery, his equestrian skills are very general, he heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him getting closer and closer, his heart was already panicked, and his hands were flustered, and his riding skills were even more unbearable, and the speed was getting slower and slower, and the distance between Li Zhen, who was chasing after him, was constantly shrinking, and he couldn't escape, and he secretly complained in his heart, but at this moment, he saw a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the dark place in front of him, and suddenly his heart was like ashes, so he simply stopped running away, and slowly strangled the war horse, A pair of old eyes stared at Li Zhen, who had chased him closer, with a blushing face, riding on a horse, without saying a word.

"Hou Gong, the one who knows the times is Junjie, do you always want to dismount by yourself or does this king ask you to dismount?" Li Zhen saw that Hou Junji was not running away, so he also stopped not far away, and made fun of Hou Junji with great interest.

"Hmph, the vertical son dare!" Hou Junji looked at Li Zhen with anger in his eyes and scolded angrily.

"Ha, it seems that Hou Gong has a big shelf, I can't say it, this king has no choice but to fulfill you." Seeing Hou Junji's angry look, Li Zhen was very happy, smiled evilly, and said slowly, as soon as he urged the jujube red horse under the seat, he was about to rush forward, but at this moment, several horsemen and horses rushed out of the darkness in front of him, and one of them shouted violently: "Don't hurt my father!" "The horse rushed towards Li Zhen and killed him......
