The guards on the palace wall listened to Yuangai Suwen's words, and their morale suddenly became low, because they didn't know whether what Yuangai Suwen said was right or not, and now Goguryeo has reached the point of almost losing the country, but it is an indisputable fact, Liaodong fell so quickly, this is an indisputable fact, and the Tang army is unstoppable all the way, this is an indisputable fact! It is an indisputable fact that a waste like Gao Yanshou has twice failed in command, seeing that morale is low, Cui Zongsheng, the commander of the palace guards, sank in his heart and said loudly.

"Yuangai Suwen, you have to talk nonsense and deceive people here! You are a rebel and thief, you are still a sinner in Goguryeo! You are a traitor to Goguryeo! If you hadn't taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty and bewitched the Eastern Expedition to Silla, would Goguryeo Yan have this catastrophe? At this time of crisis, you launched a mutiny, obviously with bad intentions, you want to ask your Tang master to sell it, right? Soldiers, you have fallen for the tricks of the Tang people, don't be fooled by Yuangai Suwen! At this time of crisis, all of us Goguryeo people should work together to resist the Tang Dynasty and drive out the Tang thieves! As long as you can wake up, the king is not to blame for the past, there is another reward, and the king still has a will, if anyone can take the head of Yuangai Suwen, he will be crowned the king! ”

These words were hard to hear, but Yuan Gai Suwen was not angry, he always had a warm smile on his face, he was not angry, but the generals next to him were very annoyed and said indignantly.

"Dashuai, what nonsense are you talking to him? The palace walls are low, and there are only 5,000 guards in the palace, so it's easy to attack them! ”

Indeed, although the palace wall is also majestic, but it is far less than the city wall, it is not too difficult to attack, Cui Zongsheng wants to make them turn against them with some words, it is inevitable that some fools are dreaming, even if the king has a reward now, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not settle accounts after the autumn, no, it is not difficult to protect, but it will definitely settle accounts after the autumn, and now the mutiny is successful, they have all become ministers from the dragon, and there is no need to worry about settling accounts after the autumn. Yuangai Suwen is not afraid that his generals will turn against him, after all, there is such a thing as rebellion, and there will be no turning back when he opens the bow, Yuangai Suwen said with a smile.

"It's all our Goguryeo warriors, who didn't die in battle, but died in infighting, how sorry? The best strategy is to be able to surrender without a fight, and besides, it is always good to reduce some casualties! ”

The generals next to him couldn't help nodding, although it is not a pity that the guards in these palaces are pampered and killed, but their soldiers are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, it is a pity to die here, Yuan Gai Suwen said in a loud voice.

"Ben Shuai is also kind to persuade him, Gao Jianwu has already sent people to the soldiers and horses of the counties outside the city to pass the decree, do you see that there are soldiers and horses coming to escort them? Can't you see that Gao Jianwu is already angry and resentful, betraying his relatives? ”

The guards on the city wall couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, this sentence can be said to have broken the hidden worries in their hearts, because so far they have not seen any reinforcements, although the king has made a will, saying that the soldiers and horses of the king of Qin from the counties outside the city will soon come to escort them, but time passes little by little, but there is no movement, and the soldiers and horses in the city have already been defeated and retreated, and it is only a matter of time before they disperse, if there are no soldiers and horses to help, then it is impossible for them to hold the palace at all, Cui Zong shouted loudly.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, the king treats us like a mountain, and today everyone will fight to the death to repay the king!"

How could the sluggish morale on the city wall be reversed by Cui Zongsheng in a few words? Yuan Gai Suwen smiled faintly and waved his hand.

"Siege!"

"The handsome man has an order! Besiege! ”

The soldiers couldn't wait for a long time, and they began to charge with a cloud ladder like a tsunami.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Hurry up and release the arrows!"

Cui Zongsheng was commanding on the palace wall in armor, he never thought that he would have a day to command a war as the commander of the guards, he dreamed of commanding the war, and said that the army led by Yuangai Su Wen was the elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and it was the most elite soldiers and horses in Goguryeo, but he wanted to see if this army was elite here, and it could be more elite than the palace guards? Under the palace, Yuangai Suwen looked at the offensive ahead and said with a smile.

"In terms of personal martial arts, the palace guards definitely surpass us, in terms of ordnance, they are also the best, and in terms of Lumi, they are far beyond us, but if they really want to go to the battlefield to fight, they are really too far behind!"

The general next to him smiled.

"Dashuai, these palace guards look glamorous and a little bluffing, but in fact, they are all showy, they don't know how to cooperate, they only know how to fight separately, and they can break through the palace gate in just half an hour!"

Yuangai Suwen bowed slightly.

"Half an hour is indeed enough, if it is longer, it will be a bit embarrassing!"

Arrows rained down, the guards on the palace wall were pressed by the bow and arrows and couldn't raise their heads, compared to the archers in the army, these guards' arrow skills were much inferior, and they didn't understand team combat, they couldn't form a rain of arrows at all, and they couldn't effectively suppress the rebels under the palace wall.

"Quick, hit me, hit me hard! Don't let the rebels attack! Hold on! As long as you hold on, you can wait for reinforcements! When the time comes, let's kill again! ”

At this moment, Cui Zongsheng finally felt that this rebel army was really very elite, and it attacked the palace wall so quickly. But I didn't expect that in less than half an hour, the rebels attacked the palace wall, how could this work? If it goes on like this, won't it be impossible to hold it in three or two hours?

"Brothers, work hard, you must kill the rebels off the palace wall, take out your usual martial arts, and fight like this, is it a shame?"

While speaking, Cui Zongsheng rushed forward in person while waving a spear, at this moment, he must boost morale, there was a panic in the palace, although the rebels had not yet entered the palace, but the palace maids in the palace had already panicked, messed up, looking for a place to hide, only the hall where Gao Jianwu was located was still stable, after all, there were guards guarding here, and the palace maids were quite calm, but they were also worried, Gao Jianwu did not stay in the hall, but stood in front of the door of the hall, Looking at the brightly lit palace, listening to the shouts and killings in his ears, and the occasional frightened sound from the chamberlain and maid, he wanted to ask how the battle in front of the palace was going, but he didn't dare to speak, he wanted to ask the soldiers and horses of the counties outside the city whether they had entered the city, but he didn't dare to speak, because he was a little scared in his heart, wanted to know the result and was afraid to know the result. I don't know the result, he still has hope in his heart, but if he knows the result, he may be desperate in his heart, at this moment, a guard hurriedly came, he still had blood stains on his body, Gao Jianwu couldn't help but stare when he saw it, which shows how tense the battle in front of the palace is.

"Your Majesty, the rebels are attacking fiercely, and the commander is afraid that he will not hold out until tomorrow, so he asks the king to temporarily take refuge outside the city, gather troops and horses to recapture the palace again, and kill the rebels!"

The guard said tremblingly, Gao Jianwu's heart sank when he heard it, and he asked in a deep voice.

"How much longer?"

He didn't expect the guards to repel the rebels, he only expected the guards to hold on earlier, although he didn't know what the turning point would be if he continued to hold on, perhaps, the soldiers and horses of the counties outside the city just hadn't had time to send troops yet, and the guards trembled.

"The rebels have stormed the city, and the commander is leading his comrades to kill the rebels from the city!"

Although Gao Jianwu has never led his troops to fight, he also knows what it means for the city to be attacked by the enemy, the palace wall can't hold on so quickly, this rebel army is really an elite division! Even the carefully selected palace guards couldn't hold on so quickly, it's really ironic to think about it, the chamberlain next to him exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, the guards won't be able to hold out for long, the rebels are about to invade, please take refuge for the time being!"

"Shelter? Where to go? Gu is the king of Goryeo, the king of all, who should Gu avoid? ”

Gao Jianwu shouted, and all the attendants knelt on the ground and said urgently.

"Your Majesty, the traitor is fierce, please take the country's society as the priority!"

Gao Jianwu said in a deep voice.

"Change Lone's clothes, change court clothes, put up the king's frame, Lone must personally go to the head of the city and ask, ask Yuan Gai Suwen, ask these rebellious ministers and thieves!"

A group of chamberlains hurriedly got up and put on the most solemn crown for Gao Jianwu, which was only worn when worshipping the ancestors of heaven and earth and other great ceremonies, grand and luxurious and dazzling, and the ceremonial ride was also put up, and the palace gate was swept towards the palace gate, but the inner guards and guards were a little panicked, which inevitably made the ceremonial driver lose a little bit of royal domineering, and when he met the palace gate, the louder the shouting and killing, and the screams, the whistling sound of sharp arrows, the inner attendants' legs and stomachs were spinning, and they hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, there are no eyes for swords and guns! How can you take risks so easily? ”

On the palace wall, Cui Zongsheng had already seen Wang driving mightily coming, so he shouted.

"Brothers, the king is in love, kill them with me, and kill these thieves and cubs down the city!"

When the guards who were originally a little demoralized heard this shout, they found that the king was marching mightily, and their morale couldn't help but be greatly boosted, and for a time the rebels who had climbed to the top of the city were defeated and retreated, and the generals under the palace walls shouted regretfully.

"What's the situation? Seeing that the palace gate has been captured, why are these guards like taking aphrodisiacs? ”

Some generals wondered.

"Reinforcements are arriving, right?"

"Reinforcements? What reinforcements? Even if all the soldiers and horses from the counties outside the city came, so what? ”

Yuangai Suwen smiled calmly, and the generals next to him couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

"That's true, not to mention that the soldiers and horses of each county can't be ignorant of current affairs, even if they really all come, so what?"

They don't look down on the combat power of the soldiers and horses in the counties at all, not to mention that the total strength of these soldiers and horses is far inferior to them, the situation on the palace wall was stabilized at once, under the leadership of Cui Zongsheng, all the rebels who attacked the city wall were killed off the city wall, Gao Jianwu walked towards the palace wall, and the inner servant next to him suddenly became anxious and hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, can you go up, it's too dangerous for the arrows to fly up there."

"The guards are all risking their arrows to hold on to it, so why be afraid of danger?"

Gao Jianwu walked up without hesitation, if it was before, of course he couldn't take the risk, because he was a noble king, but now that he was facing the death of the country, what danger was he afraid of? Do you just sit in the golden hall and wait for Yuangai Suwen to come and kill him? The palace wall is densely packed with burning torches to shine the palace wall as bright as day, and Gao Jianwu, who is wearing a dazzling crown, slowly ascends the palace wall, which is very eye-catching against the background of the torches.

"See the king!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

The guards on the palace wall cheered one after another, the cheers came far away in the night, and the war that was in full swing suddenly came to a standstill, although the people on the palace wall did not look down on Gao Jianwu's face, but the crown and the ceremonial ride were very eye-catching, although everyone followed Yuangai Suwen to kill the king, but when the king suddenly appeared on the palace wall, they were still suppressed, Cui Zongsheng strode to Gao Jianwu and knelt down on one knee.

"The last general is ashamed, the last general failed to repel the rebels, and the king of labor personally came to supervise the battle!"

"It's not your fault, it's that there are too many rebels, today you bravely killed the enemy on the palace wall, not a single step back, Lone is very pleased, you have lived up to Lone's trust, Lone has entrusted the guards of the palace to you for so many years, right!"

Gao Jianwu encouraged.

"The last general will swear to fight to the death today to repay the king's grace!"

Cui Zongsheng said excitedly, Gao Jianwu turned his head to look at the palace wall, the dense rebels extended into the depths of the night, until they couldn't see, after glancing around, Gao Jianwu's eyes couldn't help but fall on Yuangai Suwen's body, he obviously felt it, Yuangai Suwen was also looking at him, yesterday Yuangai Suwen was still bowing down under the throne, and when he saw him again today, it was already a soldier, Gao Jianwu raised his voice.

"Yuangai Suwen, two years ago you were only a seventh-rank official, but now, you are a first-rank official, the commander-in-chief of the army, is there anything wrong with treating you alone? Looking through the history books, I'm afraid I can't find anyone who is faster than you to be promoted, Yuan Gai Suwen, are you repaying Lone's appreciation like this? And you, you are all promoted by Lone, your official position, your wealth and nobility, are all lone rewards, Lone wants to say, has Lone treated you badly? Is this how you are loyal to the country? At this time of crisis, but you are committing a mutiny, do you care about even a little of the people? Have you ever thought about the consequences of this? The government and the opposition are in turmoil, the dragons are leaderless, and the hearts of the people are scattered, how can they resist the Tang Army? You are all sinners of Goguryeo, you will never be able to wash away the shame on your body, under the Nine Springs, you have no shame to go to see the ancestors and ancestors, don't be bewitched by Yuangai Suwen, take him down, and then go back to the camp separately! Not only is Lone not to blame for the past, but also has a reward! ”

With Gao Jianwu's words, the morale of the soldiers under the palace walls fell, and they really faced the king, but they had no confidence.
