With a "boom", the outer palace wall finally collapsed completely, and after more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the forbidden army guarding the south gate left more than 3,000 corpses, and the remaining remnants of the defeated generals retreated to the second line of defense.

"Kill!!"

The broken palace wall was like a broken embankment, and the morale of the people and horses of the Liaowang Group was suddenly shocked, and they screamed and slashed at the enemies around them, and they continued to pour inward.

"Push the cannon up!"

As soon as the front-line commander gave the order, two war horses and four or five non-commissioned officers pushed a cannon into the palace gate, and the rest of the cannons also entered the follow-up base one after another, and began to prepare to fire shells at the next target.

At this time, the king of Liao climbed the outer palace wall and looked inside with a telescope.

"Lord Wang, after passing this palace gate, there is a narrow alley in the palace, and the army can't swing away, so you can only fight street battles all the way."

The general beside him began to introduce the new battle situation to the King of Liao, how did he know that the King of Liao's mind was not on the battle situation at all, but in the south study where the transfer of power was about to be completed.

"The matter of the battle is handed over to General Wang Yi and them, and this king has only one request, he must enter the south study as soon as possible, he must be fast!"

King Liao put down the binoculars, as if a flame was burning in his heart, and he didn't notice that there was already a river of blood under his feet.

Hearing the words of the King of Liao, the general said with a sad face: "Lord Wang, although the forbidden army has been defeated, the main force still exists, and once the news of the fall here comes out, the forbidden army from all directions will come to reinforce it."

In addition, the road in the palace is tortuous, which is not conducive to the development of the army, and it may not be easy to completely take the entire palace for a while. ”

"No way!"

King Liao immediately shook his head and said sharply: "If this is the case, the people inside will definitely flee, let the army surround the entire palace, and not a single fly will be released!" ”

The general was stunned when he heard this, and said stubbornly: "Lord, what if the Holy One wants to go out?" ”

King Liao glanced at him coldly and sneered: "This king said that even a fly is not allowed to go out, don't you understand?!" ”

The general trembled, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The last general understands, and the last general will immediately go to give the order!" ”

After saying that, the general did not dare to stay any longer, and quickly got up and rushed into the army.

King Liao squinted, looked coldly at the south study that was close at hand, but seemed to be far away in the sky, and said secretly: "Hmph, do you want to treat this king as a pawn that has been used, it's not so easy!"

This king is out today, since you have exhausted all your strength, you still refuse to pass the throne to this king, then this king will take it himself, this king wants Dawei from today, start a new era! ”

On the other side, Xue Yu, the general of the Yulin Hussars who was responsible for guarding the arch, had just led the remnants to retreat to the second line of defense and joined the two battalions of forbidden troops who were responsible for receiving them.

At this moment, Xue Yu was already with crooked armor, covered in blood, and a shocking scorch mark on his back, and he didn't know whether it was the results of artillery or grenades.

In order to resist the attack of the Liao Wang's army, this veteran, who was nearly fifty years old, had been rushing to the front line, and was almost killed by cold arrows and shells several times.

If it weren't for the soldiers on the side who sacrificed their lives to save him, perhaps he would have become the highest general under the sword of King Liao.

As soon as he saw the soldiers and horses arriving with reinforcements, Xue Yu immediately rushed up and yelled at several forbidden army commanders: "Where are the reinforcements? What about Xiao Shangshu's reinforcements?

Didn't it mean that if the war in the palace was going on, the men and horses of the military department would attack from behind the army of King Liao, attacking from both sides? Why haven't they arrived yet? ”

A series of questions were asked to the generals of the forbidden army, they were all generals who were ordered to reinforce Xue Qi, and they were far worse than Xue Qi in terms of grade, and they didn't know that there was Xiao Jinwu's reinforcements.

What's more, even if they knew the inside story, even Xue Yu didn't understand why Xiao Jinwu's army was delayed, how could they, the front-line generals, explain it clearly?

Xue Yu vented for a moment, his emotions finally calmed down a little, and he immediately turned over and climbed onto a low wall, raised his head to look out, his eyes seemed to want to cross the entire battlefield, directly see the back of the army of King Liao, and look for Xiao Jinwu's reinforcements.

However, as soon as his gaze swept over the battlefield, he suddenly saw the enemy artillery occupying the high ground once again spewing out tongues of fire.

"Not good!"

Xue Yu's pupils shrank, and he didn't care about turning over, so he threw himself directly under the low wall.

Immediately after a loud "boom", a palace room beside Xue Yu was blown to pieces by the roaring cannonballs, and the terrifying shock wave set off a terrifying heat wave, which instantly lifted Xue Yu out of the air.

"General!"

A group of pro-soldiers were also blown to pieces, but when they saw this scene, they were immediately frightened, exclaimed, and hurriedly rushed towards Xue Yu.

Xue Yu rolled several times in the air and fell heavily to the ground, fortunately, the impact point was relatively far away, he was not directly hit by the splash shrapnel, although he fell dizzy, but he was not too seriously injured.

When the pro-soldiers hugged him and protected him, Xue Yu finally came to his senses, pushed a few pro-soldiers away, and looked towards the battlefield.

The army of the Liao King had already launched a new round of offensive, and the retreating forbidden army had not gained a firm foothold, coupled with the fact that it had already lost for a while, and its morale was low, so it was a bitter battle at the beginning, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the second line of defense was completely lost.

"General, are you alright?"

Seeing that Xue Qi's face was not good, the soldiers asked with concern.

Xue Yu didn't answer, but stared at the battlefield with an unusually solemn face, and muttered in his mouth: "Xiao Jinwu, Xiao Jinwu, if your army doesn't come again, I'm afraid that the life of the old man will be in danger!" ”

In the south study, King Yu held the holy decree tightly and slowly stood up.

A toyed humiliation turned into a flame, scorching his fragile self-esteem.

"Why? Why? ”

King Yu looked at Emperor Hongwei on the hospital bed, with tears in his eyes, and repeatedly asked why.

He really couldn't figure it out, he had worked so hard, and even poured everything he had for the Great Wei and the throne, and suffered all the attacks and grievances, why did he get such a result?

It's just that he didn't let him be the emperor, and he also admitted it to being a shield for King Su.

But why would the father who gave birth to him and raised him so resolutely treat him as an outcast, use him ruthlessly, and then abandon him mercilessly without hesitation after squeezing out the last trace of value?

Yuwang's gaze was full of sadness, incomprehension, and grievance, and even the hard-hearted would be moved.

But Emperor Hongwei did not.

His gaze was still cold and firm, and he did not retreat an inch in the face of King Yu's gaze, which was the dignity and confidence of an emperor.

"There aren't so many whys in the world, if you can't figure it out, just recall the vows you made just now."

Emperor Hongwei didn't feel the slightest guilt or pity, but said so lightly.

"Hahahaha!"

Yuwang suddenly laughed, but tears flowed down his cheeks.

He slowly walked in front of Emperor Hongwei, laughed while crying, and said in a light tone: "Father, the sons and daughters have no intention of arguing, it is you, and you let the sons and daughters fight!"

Even at the most critical moment, Erchen still told you that Erchen can give up arguing, he can not be the emperor, he can give up everything in front of him, it is you, and it is you who let Erchen devote himself step by step. ”

As he spoke, King Liao suddenly raised his arm, pointed at the dragon chair with all his strength and said: "Now Erchen has nothing, Erchen has gambled everything on that dragon chair, but you told Erchen that I am just an outcast."

Erchen is also your son, and he asks himself no worse than anyone else, why? You tell Erchen, why are you so cruel and vicious to Erchen?! ”

At this moment, King Yu is no longer the gentle and elegant appearance he used to be, and has become hysterical and crazy.

Such a King Yu had obviously provoked the dignity of Emperor Hongwei, and he squinted his eyes and said: "I am the emperor, I don't need to explain to you, I just thought that you are my son, and I just want to give you an explanation today."

If you insist on asking why, then I will answer you, everything I do is for the Great Wei, for the foundation of the ancestors, for the great cause of dominating the world! ”

"Hahahaha!"

King Yu laughed again, and his face gradually became hideous.

"For the sake of Da Wei? Are sons worse than others? Or if you told your son, wouldn't your son be willing to give up the throne to the sixth child?

But you didn't, you used Erchen, and only now did you suddenly put the cruel truth in front of Erchen, and Erchen was unwilling, unwilling! ”

Emperor Hongwei sneered, a cold light shot out of his eyes, and said coldly: "Don't forget that you just said that for the sake of Great Wei, regardless of personal gains and losses, you can't die a good death if you violate your oath!" ”

King Yu laughed miserably: "It is said that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children, but is the emperor more vicious than tigers?" If you want to kill me, come on, come on! ”

King Yu completely collapsed and yelled hysterically at Emperor Hongwei.

"Rebel!"

Emperor Hongwei was so angry that his cheeks were red, and his eyes changed, and he looked at Wang Shun who was standing aside.

After years of getting along day and night, Emperor Hongwei has already communicated with Wang Shun, and a glance can make Wang Shun understand that it is time for him to make a move.

However, this time, when Emperor Hongwei looked at Wang Shun, Wang Shun lowered his head and did not look at Emperor Hongwei's gaze.

King Yu gritted his teeth, stared at Emperor Hongwei, and walked towards his bedside step by step.

Emperor Hongwei frowned, and said in a low voice: "Prince Bao, take down this rebel!" ”

As soon as these words came out, King Yu suddenly paused, but Prince Kebao didn't seem to hear this sentence, and still stood at the head of the bed like a clay sculpture, motionless.

Emperor Hongwei finally sensed that something was wrong, and his heart suddenly tightened.

"Hahahaha!"

At this moment, King Yu laughed wildly again.
