Chapter 69: The Transformation of Xuanwu Gate
If a war breaks out and there is no army as a shield, everyone in the Qin Palace's mansion can only become the souls of others under the butcher's knife, without the power to resist.
You can have the heart of harming people, and you must have the heart of guarding against people, so it should be time to make some arrangements early, so as not to regret it until the moment of disaster.
In the blink of an eye, Li Shimin had already made a decision, and nervously shouted to a few people around him: "Shubao, Jingde, Zhijie, how many troops can be used on our side?" ”
Seeing Li Shimin's nervous appearance, several people were also taken aback, "King Qin, I have a soldier and horse of about 3,000 people in the south, if I transfer it, I should be able to protect the Qin Palace." ”
"Don't hesitate, according to the king's order, transfer this team of men and horses to the surroundings of the Qin Wangfu to defend the Qin Wangfu,."
"Yes," this is Qin Qiong's answer, he answered, and handed the token in his hand to a soldier behind him, this token is the tiger talisman that mobilized the team of three thousand people.
As long as there is this tiger talisman in hand, even if Qin Qiong does not command it on the spot, then the person holding the tiger talisman can also mobilize that army.
"I hope the king is too worried." The only aftermath was solved, Li Shimin muttered to himself.
His expression was a little sluggish at the moment, as if he was reminiscing about something, but it didn't take long for him to be replaced by a determined look.
For the emperor, don't be merciful!
After doing all this, a few people walked towards the Xuanwu Gate, no matter what kind of inference, today's early dynasty cannot be absent.
The picture was paused for a short time here, not for anything else, just because the advertising time is here again, the advertisement broadcast this time is 999 brand bald strong shampoo, the anchor is still a big horse monkey, his expression and movements are still full of funny, as always, he wants to make people laugh.
However, today is a little different, although the big horse monkey has been trying to sell cuteness and spread his sassy and prodigal cheapness, but no one in the audience wants to laugh, including the cynical child.
This broadcast turned out to be really a matter of the royal dispute, such a big thing, anyone who has a brain can know that it is very involved, but the final result is related to who is riding on your head in the future, in other words, it is you, can you not pay attention?!
It didn't take much effort, the advertisement ended, the picture continued, and everyone's hearts were pulled up again, this is about the crown prince!
Just when Li Shimin and the others entered the Xuanwu Gate and were about to go deeper, Cheng Yanjin suddenly spoke, "Wait a minute, don't you think it's strange today?" ”
"What's weird?" Li Shimin and the others followed Cheng Yanjin's gaze and looked around, but he didn't feel anything abnormal.
"After the Xuanwu Gate, it is the palace, and there are some palaces around, and you can usually see some palace people or chamberlains, but King Qin, you see that there is not even a person around now, and it is extremely quiet!"
Cheng Yanjin was very vigilant at this time, as a military general, he had an extremely keen observation of the environment.
"This ......" reminded Li Shimin immediately felt that something was wrong, although he had prepared in his heart outside the door just now, but he didn't expect it to come so soon? !
I saw that there was not only no one around the Xuanwu Gate, but also extremely quiet, and there would be at least sparrows foraging outside the city, but there was not even a bird in the palace.
"King Qin, the situation is not right, let's hurry up and leave the palace before making plans!" Cheng Yanjin shouted in a low voice again at this time, the general's intuition made him feel a strong sense of crisis, and he couldn't wait to escape immediately, this was still a feeling he had never felt before.
"Oh no, it's too late." At this moment, there was another low shout from around everyone.
It was Qin Qiong's voice, his face was full of solemnity at the moment, and there was a rare sense of tension in his tone, the golden Jiao Gong in his hands had been firmly grasped by him, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the front of the Xuanwu Gate.
The slight sound of someone breathing there is someone lying in ambush there, and besides, the whole body is full of evil energy, and the person who comes is not good!
"Bite Jin, you and General Wei Chi will take King Qin out first! I'll resist it! Fast! Qin Qiong drank hard at Cheng Cheng and the two of them, her face was swollen, and she looked very anxious.
"It's not good, King Qin will fight with us, the brothers are not in this palace, only when they are outside, our brothers will come to answer." Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong also realized that something was wrong, and they didn't have time to say a few words, so they turned around and wanted to escort Li Shimin to run out.
But "Shoot the arrows!" At this moment, there was a loud shout from inside the Xuanwu Gate, and as this shout fell, thousands of arrows flew towards several people, and the primary target was Li Shimin!
"Ahh
"Ahh
“……”
At the last moment, a cadre of guards from the Qin Wangfu hurriedly came to Li Shimin's side and used his body to form a flesh wall to firmly enclose him, but the incident was too sudden, and they didn't have time to make any adequate preparations.
The few shields and armor that there are can't protect against this rain of arrows at all.
Wherever the rain of arrows passed, life was harvested like mustard, without the slightest resistance.
Miserable, very tragic!
With the arrival of the rain of arrows, Li Shimin's guards continued to fall, and it didn't take much effort to bring a dozen of the many guards left, and these dozen or so were either injured, or their skin was scratched, and some were even seriously injured and dying.
But fortunately, Li Shimin was not affected in the slightest.
Seeing that a group of friends and subordinates around him were killed, Li Shimin, who had long been crowned as benevolent and righteous, went completely crazy, his eyes were red, and he roared in a pool of blood:
"My brothers!" Among the corpses of the rebellious army, Li Shimin's eyes were red and roared loudly, "Li Jiancheng, you deserve to die, I want you to die!" ”
Although this attack came very suddenly, Li Shimin was not stupid, he knew who did it, it must be the crown prince Li Jiancheng, except for him, no one dared to do this kind of thing under Li Yuan's nose!
The rain of arrows continued to shoot three rounds before it stopped, and the arrows of those soldiers had already consumed seventy or eighty percent, but even so, Li Shimin's side suffered heavy losses, and only a few were left.
But fortunately, they are close to the gate of Xuanwu Gate at this moment, although people are fish to be slaughtered, but at least they have the strength to fight!
After the rain of arrows, everyone finally saw clearly the people standing in the direction of the archery, and sure enough, the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji were in the column, followed by a group of people with armor, all with clean faces, with bloodthirsty charm.
Li Shimin knew that these were dead soldiers, the elites selected by Li Jiancheng from the army under his control, each of them was a top player, and their skills were extraordinary.
Even if they are as strong as Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin and they can only deal with five or six at most, but now there are hundreds of each other, and in such a comparison, the two sides are not of the same magnitude at all.
Moreover, the weapons in their hands are bows and arrows, not to mention the thousands of soldiers and horses behind them, that is the real threat!
"Bite the gold, blow the horn quickly," Qin Qiong shouted in a panic.
"Oh, good!" Cheng bit Jin Yingdao, then took out a horn from his pocket, ran out of the Xuanwu Gate quickly, and howled loudly in front of the Xuanwu Gate.
The sound of "woo~" pierced the dawn and suddenly sounded on the silent Chang'an City Street. Countless people listened to it.
"It's not good, King Qin, they are in danger, hurry, follow me to the rescue"
Hundreds of meters away, a team of thousands of people was shocked when they heard this whining howl, and then they wore armor and a long knife in their hands and slaughtered towards the Xuanwu Gate!
They are subordinates of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and like the hundreds of people around the crown prince Li Jiancheng, they are all the elite of the lineage army.
Moreover, they only listened to the orders of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and did not even listen to Li Yuan's orders.
Because, they are the soldiers of the King of Qin!
A procession of thousands of people set out in a mighty way, pulling up a long line on the streets of Chang'an, and the soldiers roared and roared one by one, going to solve their king's problems.
"It's not good, big brother, they're calling people, hurry up and continue to shoot them, and it will change later!" At the same time, inside the Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, said eagerly to Li Jiancheng.
"Hmph, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, I want you to die today!" Li Shimin was not afraid of this, he stared at Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji with burning eyes, his eyes were full of hatred!
Kill his men, they deserve to die!
"Kill~" Li Jiancheng waved his hand, commanding a group of soldiers behind him to rush towards Li Shimin and them, the army was like a mountain, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, protect King Qin." Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Qiong shouted, and then entered the army with a golden mace, and in a panic, he turned around and anxiously urged a few people to leave quickly.
He, after all, has to carry everything alone!
The scene was chaotic for a while, there were less than a dozen or twenty people left on Li Shimin's side, and it would take some time for reinforcements from outside the city to arrive, but Li Jiancheng's side rushed to kill thousands of people, even if it was one to a hundred, this time it was very bad.
Fortunately, Li Shimin has now approached the gate of Xuanwu Palace, followed by Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Gong, who are brave enough to be opened, and beside him, there is Cheng Yanjin's guards holding plate axes, and after a long time of rushing and killing, he finally came to the outside of Xuanwu Gate unharmed.
At this time, there were less than ten people left on Li Shimin's side, and the rest had fallen in a pool of blood at the moment, and none of them were alive.
And at this moment, Li Shimin's army arrived, and it was Zhang Shigui who took the lead.
"King Qin is in danger, hurry, rush with me to kill, and kill this group of dog-mothers without leaving a piece of armor!" As soon as he came to Xuanwu Gate, he saw that Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was covered in blood, and Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong behind him also had zero blood stains on their bodies, and there were many gaps on Cheng Jin's big plate axe, and the blood on it was still hot and hot.
And by their side, there were only a few small soldiers left to escort them, you know, when they set off, there were hundreds of guards around them, and now there are only these people left, you can imagine how tragic the battle is!
