Chapter 53
Update today for the third time! Hope for more support tomorrow! )
After a while, the two sides collided together, the gate sergeant was in a group of three or five, the sword and shield hand was in front, the pikeman was behind, and each other was horned, and Adie Guangyan himself took a few strong sergeants, wandering between the groups, and the one who was going to be killed, he was tall, brave and fearless, and he specially selected officers to start, Yang Zhilian Ju Wenzhen was the leader of dozens of officers among the hundreds of dead soldiers, and none of them were his three-in-one generals, and the officers who came up in an instant were killed by him seven or eight. Wang Dahai smoked cold arrows on the city tower, and also chose the leader to start, this is the modern "beheading tactic" of Li Yu's stealing division, in fact, there was also this tactic in ancient times, called "shoot people and horses first, and capture thieves and capture kings first".
This tactic really worked, and the attack of the unorganized rebels was really delayed, but after all, the rebels were many people, and most of them were elites, and when Ju Wenzhen sent a team of men and horses again, the defenders only had more than ten people left, desperately guarding the two building entrances, and Adie Guangyan also had many wounds on his body, and he still fought to the death. Wang Dahai also held a sabre in his hand, rushed down to the city, and fought side by side with Adie Guangyan.
Ju Wenzhen, who was standing in the back, smiled, and Li Yu, who was standing on the Danfeng Tower, had a solemn face.
"The crown prince, the king of Tan guards the city tower!"
Li Chun and Li Jing held their sabers in their hands and took the order. The atmosphere on the city tower was extremely depressing, Li Yu fought with people in the village when he was a child, or confronted dogs, and knew that he could not show his cowardice at any time, otherwise he would definitely lose badly, or be bitten very badly, so he said to the people around him:
"Are you afraid?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are deeply favored by the emperor, how dare you be afraid!"
Du Huangshang said loudly, and the other Li Zhongyan and others also shouted:
"Don't be afraid!"
"Okay, I haven't been in battle for many years, so I'll work with you today to destroy this thief!"
After that, he pointed to Ju Wenzhen downstairs.
"Destroy this thief, destroy this thief!"
Li Zhongyan and the others shouted, and when they heard Ju Wenzhen downstairs in the city, they were excited, and they gritted their teeth:
"Want to kill us? It's not that easy, I don't know who killed whom! ”
With a wave of his hand, another group of soldiers rushed up, and at this time, under the Danfeng Gate, there were already corpses and blood flowing all over the ground. The sound of soldiers, screams, screams, and voices were connected, and a cold smile was quietly revealed at the corner of Ju Wenzhen's mouth, and he didn't notice that there was another voice hidden under these voices.
"Hugh is leaving, rebels!"
Just as Ju Wenzhen was self-absorbed, suddenly a thunderous voice sounded in her ears, and then, she heard a person shouting:
"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for help to come! Reinforcements have arrived! ”
It was Li Deyu who spoke, holding a long knife in his hand, and rushed over from the east of Danfeng Gate with a few guards, followed by a red fire and a monstrous shout of killing. Countless soldiers with torches in their hands are outflanking Danfengmen from both sides,
Immediately afterwards, I heard that there was also a fire outside the Danfeng Gate, and there was a monstrous shouting and killing.
"Zuo Yu Lin Wei's army has arrived!"
Li Zhongyan led the people to shout loudly on the city tower, the rebels panicked, but the soldiers guarding the gate were greatly boosted, Adie Guangyan held a long knife, took the lead, shouted, the killing will come out, and the rebel soldiers fled back one after another.
Rebellion is a high-return business, and high returns are often accompanied by high risks, and now that high risks have arrived, the rebel soldiers are at a loss, looking back at Ju Wenzhen, but where is there still a figure of Ju Wenzhen? The soldiers of the left feather forest guard on both sides surrounded them, so they had to retreat together, raise their weapons and prepare to fight the trapped beasts.
Zuo Yu Lin Wei came to be a soldier of the Xifu Army, and it was Li Yuan who led the troops, but Li Yuan didn't care about the rebel soldiers who were surrounded, but just ordered someone to chase after Ju Wenzhen and others, and ordered to open the city gate, let the soldiers outside in, and then stepped forward and shouted:
"Your Majesty, Weichen Li Yuan, it's too late to save the car, please punish Your Majesty!"
"What is General Li's crime? If General Li hadn't arrived in time, I was afraid that my father and son would have been killed by Ju Wenzhen's evil slave. Where is Ju Wenzhen? ”
"Your Majesty, the thief of Ju Wenzhen has fled, and Weichen has sent someone to chase him. May I ask Your Majesty, what should we do with these rebels? ”
As a modern person who grew up watching revolutionary movies, the concept of surrendering a gun and not killing is deeply rooted in Li Yu's heart.
"Hurry up and put down your weapons!"
Not only Li Yuan, but also many of the officers and soldiers of Zuo Yulin were stunned below. The reason why Li Yuan asked for instructions was because Li Yu was present, otherwise he would have ordered to kill Wu Xian, at this time, seeing that Li Yu seemed to be going to surrender and avoid death, he felt that it was very inappropriate, and just about to reply, the rebel soldiers seemed to have seen a glimmer of life, and lowered their weapons one after another. At this time, Du Huangshang suddenly shouted:
"Your Majesty has a will, don't kill him!"
So the soldiers of Zuo Yu Linwei started one after another, chopping melons and vegetables and chopping over the soldiers who participated in the rebellion, and the screams sounded one after another, which was much more piercing than when the battle had just begun. Li Yu watched the slaughter on this side from the city tower, and he didn't feel a strange smell in his heart.
Du Huangshang said softly:
"Your Majesty, please punish the sin of the ministers."
Knowing that Du Huangshang is for his own good, if Li Yuan hadn't arrived in time just now, I am afraid that none of the people on the city tower will be alive now, if such a great crime of killing the monarch is pardoned, I am afraid that there will be rebels every day in the future. Li Yu waved his hand weakly and said:
"What a crime is there for the public, it is the kindness of my woman! Thank you for the reminder. ”
Du Huangshang said:
"The old minister doesn't dare to be it, but he knows that he will do everything to eliminate evil, otherwise, he will be counterattacked, I hope Your Majesty will see it!"
Li Yu nodded, and downstairs Li Yuan said:
"The rebels have been ambushed, and the ministers have cleared the Hanyuan Hall and Zichen Palace, please move back to the palace."
Li Yu then walked slowly down the city with the support of Li Zhongyan, and ordered the palace maid to wrap Youning's head with clothes, and sent her and Queen Wang back to Hanyuan Hall first, but he said:
"There's General Lao Li. Adie's face, where is Wang Dahai! ”
Adie Guangyan said:
"Your Majesty, the minister Adie is here!"
Wang Dahai had just been injured by the rebels' hidden arrows and was healing, and when he saw Li Yu asking, he also beat his spirit and said:
"Your Majesty, the sea is here!"
"Gather the gatekeepers, I want to thank them personally!"
When Li Yu inspected the guards of the gate, the battle of Xuanwu Gate also subsided, the Xifu Army and the Right Shence Army attacked inside and outside, and the rebels who guarded the gate were punished, and the various gates controlled by the rebels were also recaptured one after another, but unexpectedly Ju Wenzhen was cunning, and did not run back to Xuanwu Gate directly, but took the old road of Li Chongjun, the prince of Jiechou, and escaped from the palace from Suzhangmen, and met Li Yi, the king of Shu, on the way, and escaped from Chang'an.
After Li Yu received the report, the sky was already dark. Knowing that there were many old troops of Yang Zhilian in the armies near Chang'an, he immediately ordered the troops to be divided into three routes, ordering Li Jing, the king of Tan, and Han Quanyi, the general of Jin Wuwei, to quickly control the gates of Chang'an, allow them to enter but not to leave, search for the rebels, and raid the Shu Wangfu, Jufu, and Yang Mansion. ordered Li Yu, who had just arrived, to quickly bring the holy decree to the camp in the west of Beijing, and ordered Fan Xichao to control Yang Zhilian's henchmen and generals. Yesterday, it was said that the prime minister would listen to Li Yu's statement of strategy in the government hall today and then let him return to the camp, which was just right to hide people's eyes. Ordered Li Yuan to lead his troops to arrest Li Yi and Ju Wenzhen.
Ah Dieguangyan wanted to ask for his life, but was stopped by Li Yu and asked him to quickly take over the Right Shence Army and control the Left Shence Army, and Ah Dieguangyan was ordered to go immediately.
At that moment, the palace guards were handed over to the Xifu army to be responsible, and the losses were counted, and an uncle prince was killed by the fleeing rebels, and two underage princes were killed. In addition, Sun Rongyi, a lieutenant of the right Shence Army, and Liu Guangqi, the privy envoy, were killed, and more than 100 guards and soldiers including Bai Xiande, the head of the guard, were killed.
Prime Minister Lu Zhen, Zheng Yuqing and other ministers hurried over when they heard the news. Even Du You, who was recuperating from his illness, was sent on a soft couch, and when he saw that the emperor was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed again, and Li Yu had to order Du You to be released with blood again.
There was a commotion in Chang'an City all day long, after all, there had been no rebellion in Chang'an for a long time. However, although Han Quanyi was not good at fighting, he had two brushes to arrest people and maintain law and order, and according to Lu Zhen's suggestion, after beheading more than 100 thugs who took advantage of the chaos and looted in Dongshi, the situation in Chang'an quickly stabilized.
The news came back early the next morning that the generals of the Shence Army in the western camp of Jingxi had been controlled by Fan Xichao, and Li Yi and Ju Wenzhen, who had fled to Zhongnan Mountain, happened to meet Hao Jue, who took Liu Zongyuan back to Beijing, and obediently restrained them after making some ineffective resistance.
A rebellion finally subsided, and Li Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The eunuchs are all punished, next, should we set our sights on Hebei, or Huaixi?
On the post road at the foot of Lishan Mountain, several fast horses were galloping hard, and the knight led by the horse shouted:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Urgent, urgent report from the imperial court! ”
