Chapter 197: The Battle of the Imperial City

Yan Hu broke away from the battlefield after a hard battle and returned to the palace like Zhao Zicheng. Hearing the news that the South City Gate was lost, Zhao Zicheng was very angry, he didn't expect Zhao Zili to leave such a backhand, Luoyang City had been cleaned up so many times and his spies.

"Order the calamity to guard the palace, and there are still two hours, let King Kong, Tai Sui, Cangsheng, and Pang Yuan go out to fight, and defend the four gates of the imperial city respectively."

"It's a subordinate, so I'll do it." Zhao Zicheng sighed with emotion, in a short period of time, the situation has changed so much.

But everything is in time, the hunger is about to recover, and it will be their own victory when the time comes. In the imperial study, Zhao Zilin regained his calm at the moment, and there were only four people in front of him, all of whom were old men who had followed him for more than ten years, and they were absolutely loyal.

"The only thing I can trust is the four of you, and now there's one thing I need you to do." Zhao Zilin changed his name, and now he finally recognizes himself.

"Your Majesty, you are ........." Cheng Yi, who has followed Zhao Zilin since he was a child, although he does not approve of the master's rebellion, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no way.

Zhao Zilin interrupted him and said, "I made a big mistake and was deceived into plotting rebellion, how dare I call myself the emperor." There is a father's decree here, and when the new emperor enters the palace, it can save your life. Cheng Yi took the lead and knelt down, but his eyes were full of relief, and the master finally realized that he had lost his way.

"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates are sworn to protect your safety."

"Get up, now that the defeat of the [Scourge Crowd] is a foregone conclusion, they will definitely defend the palace to the death, the four East Gates have the strongest defense, but they were also the most seriously damaged in the first battle. The four of you go to guard the door under the banner of this palace, take advantage of the chaos to open it, and this palace will create opportunities for you. But this time, I'm afraid we will go to Huangquan together, and when we go underground, I am pleading with my father. Seeing this, Cheng Yi knew that it was useless to say more, and the master could make this decision, which was also to atone for his sins.

"The subordinates obey the order and are willing to live and die with His Highness." Zhao Zilin nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the wine jug on the table, and walked out of the imperial study with a scolding.

"Get out, get out of the way, this is the world that I can't snatch away." Zhao Zilin was playing drunk all the way towards the east gate, and Cheng Yi also followed behind to protect him all the way.

This matter also reached Zhao Zicheng's ears.

"What does this idiot want to do at this time?" Jia Zheng appeared aside, sneered, and said: "Lord, this Zhao Zilin is cowardly and incompetent, cowardly and afraid, knowing that the city gate is lost, drinking and having fun all day long, and now I am afraid that he has drunk too much and wants to defend the city." ”

"This guy has been ambitious and talented since he was a child, and he is so easy to control at will, and his guards are all optimistic about him, but it's also a good thing, having him attract attention and delay time for me." Zhao Zicheng shook his head, he had never looked at this big brother.

"Yes, looking at his direction, it should be to go to the east gate, where Tai Sui's defense is, there will be no accidents." Everyone knew that the East Gate was the most defensive, but even Zhao Zicheng didn't pay attention to it, the defensive core of the East Gate had been damaged by Cao Zhengchun and Meng Tiankui, who were fighting to the death.

Although he is fine on the surface now, his endurance is very fragile, which Zhao Zilin discovered when he was so upset that he walked around.

Unexpectedly, it became a key part of this moment. Zhao Zilin came to the east gate with drunkenness, although the big guy looked down on him, but after all, he was still the nominal emperor, he was taken to the city tower, and he fell asleep as soon as he entered the house.

"Cheng Yi, the four of you are optimistic about Your Majesty, this seat has gone to defend the city." Tai Sui, the top master of the [Disaster Crowd], the existence that survived in ancient times, his strength is on par with Yin Lingzi and Xiang Yu, and he has cultivated the peerless [Incineration of the Plain], and he holds only the fire [Bone Fire].

"Yes, follow the general's orders." After Tai Sui left, Zhao Zilin opened his eyes and took out a dagger from his arms, which he found from the treasury of the palace, which was extremely sharp.

"Cheng Yi, according to the plan, the four of you will stay in the house so that they still feel that I am still there."

"Yes, Your Highness take care all the way." Zhao Zilin took off his coat and changed it to Cheng Yi, and he changed into the soldier's clothes he had put on in advance and walked out of the room and went out.

On Zhao Zili's side, he gathered the remaining men and horses, took Zhao Zijun and Zhao Zifeng, and drove the chariot to the palace.

"Nangong, how long is it until noon?"

"Back to the prince, it's been less than two hours." Zhao Zili has already guessed after analysis that I am afraid that the other party's purpose is to wait for the hunger to completely recover, and now there is not much time.

"Soldiers, speed up your pace, and be sure to take the palace before noon." He sent Xiang Yu and Lu Yan to attack the West Gate and the South Gate, and Nangong Jueyu and Yin Lingzi attacked the East Gate.

The east gate has a huge moat, which is very suitable for Nangong Jueyu. The army arrived at the appointed position on time.

Zhao Zili looked at the east gate, he knew that Cao Zhengchun and Meng Tiankui had both died here.

"Siege." With Zhao Zili's order, the army began to attack the palace, and the three gates were launched together, making it impossible for the disaster to be rescued.

The rebels at the North Gate were entangled by many Jianghu people, all of whom were guardian warriors assembled from Haining and the capital.

"Defense, quick defense." Tai Sui's face was dark, and he made good use of fire attacks, and the siege troops could not get close to the gate for a while.

"It's a pity that the artillery didn't come over, otherwise this one would have been broken if ten thousand cannons were fired at once." Zhao Zili felt a little pity, and then Nangong Jue Yuce stepped forward immediately.

[A Thousand Ghosts Rampant - Mizusawa Country - Poisonous Thousand Miles] Nangong Jueyu and Qingjiao fused, transformed into a human dragon form, and combined with the poison of [Daolao Ghost], manipulated the water of the moat to attack Tai Sui.

Tai Sui didn't panic when he saw this, he was also a figure who had seen countless battles, he suddenly took a breath, and then spit out a huge flame.

The poisonous water is blocked by the fire, and these fires are very difficult to extinguish until the toxins are incinerated and do not disappear.

"This is [Incineration of the Plain], Tai Sui is still alive." Yin Lingzi saw the other party's move and recognized the person.

"Lord Wang, this guard should be Tai Sui, and belong to the next era, originally under the command of [Wanwu] and later switched to [Calamity], the body is unknown, it is very difficult to kill, and the strength is not inferior to me."

"I see, it's really the one who took out the bottom of the pressure box to see the disaster." The two armies continued to fight, and they fought for half an hour without a victory.

"Seventh brother, there is still an hour before noon." Zhao Zifeng reminded on the side. Zhao Zili was also a little anxious, but the defense of the palace was too strong, and Tai Sui's strength was strong, so he didn't have anything to do for a while.

At this time, Zhao Zilin quietly sneaked into the city gate. When I looked up, the core of the defense was not far away, and I could vaguely see that there was a crack in the core, which could be destroyed by inserting a dagger into it.

"Who?" He was spotted by the soldiers who were guarding here.

"This big brother, the villain was sent by Lord Tai Sui to inquire about the situation of the defense core." The soldier pondered for a moment and said, "Don't give back." Zhao Zilin was stunned, how could there be a code word.

"Answered" the soldier looked displeased.

"Try to add food." Zhao Zilin said tentatively.

"Pass, come and see, I always feel that this defense has decreased." Zhao Zilin was stunned for a moment and actually passed, hurriedly stepped forward, looked at it with a serious matter, and suddenly exclaimed: "My lord, come and see, there is a crack here, just report it to Lord Tai Sui quickly." The guard came over to take a look, and sure enough, he patted Zhao Zilin on the shoulder and said, "It's still your eyesight, you have made a meritorious service, come and report to the lord quickly." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

"My lord, I know a little bit about repair, why don't I take a look." This Zhao Zilin, who is not high in cultivation, has not yet grasped the destruction of the core, only a little closer.

The guard looked at it and felt that this person's cultivation was not high, so he also relaxed his vigilance, and with a wave of his hand, the soldier who protected the core immediately got out of the way.

Zhao Zilin didn't hesitate, looked around the core again, the dagger appeared silently in his hand, and Yu Guang looked at the guard.

"Father, please bless the child." Then he struggled to pierce the defensive core with a single blow, causing a large explosion in an instant.

This scene caught the guards off guard, and the people who were still fighting fiercely at the east gate also saw the explosion, and the city gate slowly opened at this moment.
