All around are faint smoke, a thick smell of blood, and a trace of burnt horror that seems to be there or not, the whole Kyoto has been in chaos, except for the left and right of the palace, I don't know where else is fighting, strangling, faintly listening to the sound of killing has not stopped.

The second prince frowned beautifully, stared at the unclear scene above the imperial city, lowered his voice and whispered: "They can't hold it, just see how long they can hold on...... My aunt had arranged things on the outskirts of Kyoto, and all the messengers had been killed, and it was impossible for reinforcements to come. With Fan Xian's feelings, knowing that he was dead, how could he fight so bravely? If it were as usual, he would have run away a long time ago. ”

Ye Chong's armor was a little old, glowing with a dim light, this important person in Qing** Fang glanced at his son-in-law, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said slowly: "There are so many people in the palace, how can he run?"

Everyone admits that if Fan Xian led the people of the Supervision Yuan to run away as soon as he saw that the situation was wrong, in Kyoto, where hundreds of thousands of people lived, even if the eldest princess had so many soldiers under her command, it would be extremely difficult to dig him out again. Everyone recognized Fan Xian's strong strength and ability to escape.

Ye Chong was silent for a moment and then said, "And since Fan Xian doesn't run, then he must have some reason to rely on." ”

The second prince's face calmed down, this Tianhuang nobleman listened to his aunt's advice, temporarily endured his ambitions, and stood behind the prince waving the flag and shouting, but the string in his heart had already been bounced many times, but the current trend was undecided, he would not do too many crazy things, especially compared to the prince, he was more afraid of Fan Xian's storage.

Fan Xian's blow to the second prince caused him great damage not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of jīng god. The second prince took a deep breath and said: "Fan Xian, there will always be unexpected times, take out his hole cards, I will never underestimate his ......"

Ye Zhong suddenly cut off his words coldly: "However, we can't preserve our strength anymore...... The eldest prince led thousands of forbidden troops to defend the palace, and with the help of the Supervision Yuan, his strength was much stronger than we originally thought. On the side of Taipingfang, if you don't attack with all your might, I'm afraid that if it drags on, there will be variables. ”

The second prince slowly lowered his head, pondering something in his heart, this time the two Qin and Ye families combined rebels to besiege the palace, nominally they naturally supported the crown prince to succeed to the throne, but everyone knew that at least for now, the Dingzhou Ye family was his second person...... Therefore, in the several offensives since the morning, the Ye family did not give their full strength, and in the direction of the main attack of Taipingfang, they were also extra cautious because they were worried that their strength would be lost too much.

It is precisely because of this that the rebel offensive appears to be not continuous enough. And this qiē is something that the second prince secretly acquiesced to.

Ye Zhong glanced at his son-in-law and said calmly: "I believe that Fan Xian has seen this, I think he will take advantage of this point soon to provoke the relationship between you and the crown prince...... When this is a major event, please let His Royal Highness temporarily abandon his thoughts and help the prince enter the palace first. ”

The second prince took a deep breath, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and nodded: "Lord Yuezhang is right, you can't give Fan Xian any opportunity to take advantage of, at this time, if you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are suspicious of each other, it will only make the three brothers in the palace happy." ”

He turned his head and glanced at Ye Chong, and Yan said, "Let the crown prince and Old Man Qin rest assured to attack...... I'll go to the middle camp and ask the prince for instructions. ”

Ye Zhong frowned slightly, knowing that His Royal Highness was preparing to use himself as a hostage, and use his own safety to ensure the unity and will of tens of thousands of rebels at this time, and not give Fan Xian a chance to take advantage of it.

"It's too dangerous. The commander of the Dingzhou Army slowly closed his eyes and said: "As a deputy general, I should go to the middle camp to lead the army order, I will take a few personal soldiers over, and the Dingzhou army will be handed over to His Royal Highness for disposal. ”

The second prince was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he was moved and said with concern: "Uncle Yue be careful." ”

............ As the second prince and Ye Zhong expected, seeing that the Dingzhou army was preserving its strength there, Fan Xian refused to let go of this opportunity to discord, stood at the head of the city, looked at the place where the rebels were camped, and began to shout to the prince again.

At this time, the offensive under the city was particularly urgent, the drums were like thunder, the sound of shouting and killing was everywhere, and some rebels began to climb towards the city along the ladder with arrows and rolling stones, but at such a tense moment, in such a noisy and dangerous environment, Fan Xian's words and sentences were imprinted in the ears of all the rebel soldiers and the generals of the Qin family.

He only shouted one sentence to the imperial city: "Old thief Qin, your people have died so much, don't you feel distressed?"

There was not a single word mentioning the Ye family, mentioning the Dingzhou army, but at this time, the corpses were scattered in the square, and the bodies of those terrible rebels who were burned to scorched pillars were still exuding a vomiting aura. As long as you are not blind, you will find that in these waves of offensives, the dead people are basically the soldiers of the Qin family and the two subordinates of the Kyoto garrison, and Dingzhou has not suffered much loss.

As soon as these words came out, the leaders of the camp in the rebel army were stunned, but the prince smiled and said to the generals beside him: "Only a fool would believe such a childish provocation. ”

Yes, a blind man can hear his intentions even if he is a blind man, and only a fool will foolishly fall for his plan and begin to suspect each other's intentions. Although the crown prince and the second prince used to fight to the death in the court back then, but after experiencing the Dadong Mountain, under the long sleeves of the eldest princess, under the strong suppression, they were forced to be closely linked, and the two princes surnamed Li were not fools, and naturally knew that at the moment, they must maintain unity and cooperation on the surface.

However, no matter how clear and simple the plan is, it is transformed into direct words and falls into everyone's ears, which will naturally have a certain impact on people's feelings, especially the generals of the Qin family from the old man down, although they know what effect Fan Xian wants to achieve, they still can't help but feel a trace of anger - so far in the siege of the city, it is the Qin family that is fighting the main force, but the Dingzhou army is basically watching from the sidelines, so that these generals of the Qin family can feel comfortable in their hearts?

Since the capture of the flag, Gong Dian, who has been standing beside the prince and riding two horses away, began to become a little unnatural, as if he felt a little ashamed. Everyone saw the appearance of the Dingzhou army at this time, and knew that Ye Zhong and the second prince must have a small calculation in their hearts, although it will not have a big impact on today's major events, but the Qin family must be extremely angry.

The prince glanced at the palace gently, and said: "Fan Xian knows that he has entered a dead end, so he will make such a boring move, the so-called strange is not strange, its strange self-defeat, there are only so many people in the palace, the palace is pressed by a large army, as long as we are not chaotic, the big thing will be done after all, I hope you will work hard." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. "All the generals around him bowed down together, knowing that what the prince said was the right way, with the right combination, with the odd victory, if the right path is magnificent, why care about where the strange road is?

After only a brief mention, the prince crumpled Fan Xian's words and threw them away, and the generals began to get busy again. The crown prince whispered a few words to the old man Qin, and at the same time cast his eyes on the city.

At this moment, a flag-carrying soldier arrived quickly, and in the slight eyes of everyone, he said loudly: "Deputy Marshal Ye Zhong came to ask for the prince's order." ”

The prince was slightly stunned, but his eyes lit up, and the old man Qin on the side suddenly opened his eyes, and the cold light was exhausted, but it gradually subsided, at this time, the general trend has been decided, and the old man Qin can't help but start thinking about what blow his only son Qin Heng suffered under the Zhengyang Gate, and why he has not returned to the team at this time, so although Ye Chong came suddenly, but the old man Qin only made a slight move in his heart.

The old man guessed why Ye Chong came, but he was not worried that Ye Chong would rob the Qin family of any merits, the so-called Conglong, the Qin family's contribution to the crown prince's ascendancy, no one can erase it, as long as the prince ascends the throne as the emperor, the Qin family can at least keep peace for decades after the old man's death.

The prince's surprise and slight joy were other ideas, he knew that Ye Chong came because he didn't want Fan Xian's words to affect today's plan to raise troops, but this respect for himself and the importance of the overall situation made the prince seem to see another light.

Today, Fan Xian put the three gods of the Empress Dowager on the head of the city, and the prince had a fierce conflict with the old man Qin, although in the end the prince forcibly suppressed the thoughts of the generals of the Qin family, but he had some other thoughts in his heart - the thoughts that Fan Xian wanted him to have.

Since a few years ago, the crown prince and the empress dowager's ancestors and grandsons have conspired several times, but they have not made up their minds to let the Qin family lead the troops into Beijing, and they are afraid that the military will dominate after rì. Looking at the current situation, the crown prince knew that he was not his father after all, and his influence on the military was still too small, and he must find some means of balance.

And at this time, Ye Chong's sudden arrival made the prince find a trace of possibility-Yes, Ye Chong is the father-in-law of the second prince, and it stands to reason that he should be the prince's most jǐngti horn, but the prince does not think that the alliance in this world will last forever, and it has nothing to do with interests and family affection - he is a genuine prince, and he is about to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and the Ye family supports himself, which is always more beneficial than supporting the second child.

Of course, he didn't dare to expect the Ye family to suddenly turn to himself, these things must also be considered after a long time, but he found this possibility.

Li Chengqian felt a little bitter in his heart, thinking that a group of people in the city are all traitors and immorality, what can't be done?

Ye Zhong entered the ranks, saluted the prince solemnly, and reported the battle situation in Taipingfang, his personal soldiers were isolated from the middle camp far away, although the Qin family would not guard against him, but they would not allow him to bring his personal soldiers in.

Old Man Qin squinted his eyes slightly, and nodded slightly towards Ye Chong, which could be regarded as a courtesy. The leaf is heavy and slightly black, and it is extremely calm.

............ The siege battle continued, the arrows flew by, the sound of killing did not stop, and the forbidden army had begun to show obvious casualties, but the imperial city was majestic, and the palace gate was filled with rocks and sand, and it could still be supported.

Fan Xian squinted at the death in front of him, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart. At this time, the eldest prince had already arranged his light armor, took off the long sword at his waist, took over the long knife he used to crisscross the sand from the hands of his own soldiers, and walked behind him silently.

Fan Xian suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "I'd better go." ”

"I admit that you are strong, but leading the troops to attack is not an assassination by one person. The eldest prince frowned and said, "This kind of thing, I still do it, you take care of the city, and my mother's life will be handed over to you." ”

Fan Xian was silent, knowing that he could not persuade this brother who was about to go on the expedition.

The eldest prince looked at him, and suddenly said: "I doubt that I am crazy, I don't know anything, and I am going to take these hundreds of people to the company camp......" He smiled bitterly and spat on the ground, "After Lao Tzu dies, if you can escape, remember to burn me some paper money every year." ”

Fan Xian smiled slightly, knowing that the custom of the old Li family's birthplace was to burn paper money, he couldn't help patting the eldest prince on the shoulder when he heard this, but after a while, he didn't say anything, just held back a sentence: "Big brother, be careful." ”

Hearing the word eldest brother, the eldest prince laughed loudly and said, "When you are dying, it is not bad for you to suddenly admit that I am your eldest brother." ”

The eldest prince knows that Fan Xian doesn't even want to recognize his father, but he is willing to recognize himself as the eldest brother, and he has his own true feelings during this period.

Fan Xian looked back, looked at the eldest prince and those forbidden army daredevils who were getting farther and farther away, and watched them gently caress the only more than two hundred war horses left in the palace, his eyes gradually softened, he knew that if he lost the gambling in this shop, he might still have a chance to turn over, but these people and most people in the palace would pay for their gambling with their lives.

"If you die, I will kill all the people of the Lao Li family in a few years to avenge you. ”

Fan Xian said this to himself in his heart, his eyes slowly swept from the top of the city, swept from the city, swept past the forbidden soldiers who were bravely resisting the rebels, looked at the cronies of the Supervision Yuan who were guarding the city crossbow and were responsible for the liaison between various places, and looked at the two scholars Hu Shu who were pale but insisted on standing in front of the imperial city.

Shu Wu's white beard was floating in the wind, messy, Fan Xian's heart was slightly dark, I don't know if it was the last time I saw the vivid faces of these people in this life.

He bowed his head and explained a few words to the third prince Li Chengping, slapped his palm, and the whole person turned over and stood on the three coffins in the imperial city.

At this time, Qiu Rì was close to Zhongzheng, but he got into the dark clouds that suddenly drifted, the three coffins on the imperial city were painted all black, and Fan Xian was also all black, standing calmly on it, facing the cool wind, looking at the distressing qiē.

Everyone in the imperial city saw this scene, and the soldiers who fought bloodily had no leisure to watch, but the people in the camp of the rebel army couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw the black-clothed man standing in the wind on the imperial city.

――――――――――――――――――――Since the start of the war, the small means used by Fan Xian have not played a big role, but since Ye Chong met with the prince, there have finally been some small changes in the camp of the rebels, and the entire rebel camp has begun to change formations slowly and very step-by-step.

The Dingzhou army must take over from the old Qin family to bear the responsibility of some of the traitors, this is a scene that Fan Xian wants to see, he looked at this qiē, and found that although the Qing ** team was well-trained, the Ye Qin family rarely cooperated, and when the formation was changed, the entire front finally revealed a few gaps.

At this time, the Dingzhou army was far from being transferred, and the Qin family still occupied the center, but the cobweb-like streets and alleys on the upper left exposed their crossings.

Fan Xian didn't have any military literacy, but he also knew that those gaps could not be used by himself, so he could only pray silently in his heart that the good fortune that had accompanied him for twenty years could shine at this moment.

It seems that there is a providence in the dark, and the providence listened to the prayer in Fan Xian's heart, and when the rebels were changing formations and were in chaos, the sound of horses' hooves finally came from the long street at the gap.

Fan Xian shook his head and looked fixedly, but his eyes were cold.

It's not reinforcements, it's Qin Heng!

............ After experiencing the brutal sniping of Zhengyangmen, Qin Heng, a general who had experienced the Nanzhao War and was behind the gate, finally broke through the joint sniping of the Supervision Institute and the cavalry of the forbidden army head-on with the powerful 5,000 cavalry, and finally arrived at the palace after a delay of an hour!

In an instant, it can be seen that Qin Heng's cavalry has rushed to the street, and the blood stains on those cavalry can be seen, and the five thousand cavalry, at this time, there are only nearly three thousand people left, you can imagine how tragic the sniper under the Zhengyang Gate is.

Fan Xian's heart hurt as if he had been pricked by a needle, he knew that his most loyal subordinates of the Supervision Yuan were only afraid of heavy losses under the Zhengyang Gate, and he didn't know how many people were killed and injured, as for the forbidden army brigade sent by the eldest prince, it must have been wiped out.

A bitter and bloody taste rolled between his lips and tongue, and after two coughs, Fan Xian stared at his blood-red eyes, knowing that while the domineering ephedra pill was forcibly improving his realm, it also deeply hurt his heart.

However, he just stared at the gap, looking at the cavalry led by Qin Heng, carrying smoke and dust, with blood stains, appearing in everyone's eyes.

"Hands-on. ”

He covered his bleeding lips and said vaguely. Although the order was vague and his voice was extremely low, the members of the Qi Nian group who had been waiting beside him did not hesitate at all, raised his right arm, pulled it hard, and the arrow in his hand shot into the sky, and a beautiful firework bloomed in this sunken sky.

From last night to the present, the second fireworks in Kyoto.

............ As soon as the fireworks order came out, a strange sound sounded in the houses behind the square in front of the palace, attracting the attention of many people. And in the middle of the three alleys in front of the left, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

Qin Heng's cavalry has arrived, where did these horses' hooves sound from? Who are these cavalry that is firm and urgent, even faster and more murderous than the bloody cavalry of the Qin family?

Like two gusts of wind destined to meet, the cavalry that rushed towards the palace square along two roads at the same time finally met at the intersection of two streets and alleys, and collided violently and suddenly!

The number of cavalry hidden in the shadows is not large, but it carries a momentum that is different from the ordinary Qing army, not only murderous, but also has a netherworld taste of indifference to the extreme, they are all in black armor, and it seems that not even a trace of light will come out, but it is as thick as ink to the extreme.

The black cavalry of the Supervision Yuan, the cavalry with the strongest sniper ability in the legendary Qingguo, but few people have ever seen their way of fighting and strong strength, and within the Qing** side, there are many people who have a disdainful attitude towards the black cavalry, thinking that Chen Pingping, an old black dog, can train an iron-blooded knight.

However, today, this mysterious black cavalry finally collided with the jīng sharp cavalry of Qingguo, and told everyone with a bloody fact, only the cavalry Su zhì, the black cavalry...... Always the toughest.

............ The sudden appearance of the black rider was beyond everyone's expectations, and a trace of excitement flashed in the initial eyes of the old man Qin who discovered the problem for the first time, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes again.

No one knew how Fan Xian had hidden this cavalry unit in the houses behind the rebels, and no one knew how this all-black dark cavalry had managed to keep from making a sound.

Qin Heng led the cavalry to gallop quickly across the street, and then saw another road next to him slanting towards him...... Those heart-palpitating riding shadows of black sè!

The number of this black cavalry is too small, only two hundred, if the eldest prince is still in the city at this time, he will definitely guess that this is the team that Fan Xian sent out of the palace last night, the group led by Jing Ge, the deputy commander of the black cavalry, who has quietly disappeared for a long time.

Although there were only two hundred people, this group of black horsemen looked like two thousand...... No, it's like a person fighting, the leader of the general wears a silver mask, clutches the spear, like the sharpest point on the blade, with a very fast speed, rushing in front of the front!

And the two hundred cavalry behind him, like sharp blades and solid knives behind the dagger, maintained a tight formation, supported by extremely high riding skills, closely followed the silver-faced Jing Ge, and stabbed into it fiercely towards the front of Qin Heng's more than two thousand cavalry!

............ With two hundred enemies and two thousand, only the black cavalry would have such determination and courage, because decades ago, the predecessors of the black cavalry, under the leadership of Chen Pingping, raided three thousand miles north, penetrated deep into the territory of the Great Wei Kingdom, captured the leader of the Great Wei Tiqi Shawn alive, and then retreated!

Raiding three thousand miles, the black knight can do it, not to mention this mere three hundred zhang. Only those who remember history will understand that the black cavalry is the most powerful cavalry in the world, and will understand why Emperor Qing will always forcibly order Chen Pingping to limit the number of black cavalry to a thousand!

Fan Xian, who was dressed in black, stood on the coffin of the black sè, looking at his black sè cavalry, carrying out a dark raid, his lips were dry, and he didn't say a word. He knew that the counterattack would begin here, and the surprise attack of the Black Rider was just a prelude to his own gamble.
