Looking at the city wall that was about to be collapsed by cannons, Li Jing was very excited, as long as he took the Eastern Capital, he would restore the cause of the Tang Dynasty, even if he completed half of it, as long as the Wu clan forces were completely eliminated, the Tang Dynasty would still be the world of his Li family!

Just as Li Jing was rubbing his palms excitedly, the scout rushed over and told Li Jing a shocking news:

"The defenders of the city fought out from the west gate and the south gate, and the father and son of Li Yuanliang of the west gate did not engage the enemy army and fled in a hurry! Princess Changle and his wife fought bloodily with the enemy at the south gate, and the horse Zhao Gui was killed, and Princess Changle fought desperately to get out of the encirclement under the protection of her own soldiers, and the enemy army is killing this side!"

Li Jing didn't panic at all after hearing this, these were already in his expectation, he had already let Guo Jin and Han Shizhong and others lead the troops to ambush outside the other three gates, as long as the defenders in the city dared to come out of these three gates, they would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"Got it!"

Li Jing waved his hand, then stopped paying attention to other places, and put all his mind on the east gate in front of him.

The two maids supported Princess Changle in white armor and walked over, and Li Jing, as a junior, hurriedly stood up to greet Princess Changle!

"Shizi, you want to avenge my husband! He died for the sake of Datang!"

Princess Changle grabbed Li Jing's hand and cried.

Li Jing sneered in his heart when he heard this, Princess Changle could agree to rebel, not for any Tang Dynasty, but for her own blood feud, if her daughter was not killed by Wu Zetian, his great-aunt and grandmother would not have responded to his call and joined him to fight against the army, maternal love is really great!

"Great-aunt and grandmother, don't worry, we will avenge this revenge sooner or later, and when we attack the eastern capital, we will let my aunt and grandmother kill the enemy!"

Li Jing said with a smile.

"Good!"

Princess Changle's whole body trembled with excitement, and Li Jing hurriedly asked people to help him down to rest.

On the other side, Cao Renshi and Zhang Xuanyu were ambushed and suffered heavy losses, Cao Renshi and Zhang Xuanyu did not retreat in a desperate battle, and finally died, and the west gate and the south gate were not held, and were broken by Li Jing's army, and the army drove into the eastern capital.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

As Li Jing's army entered the eastern capital, the city was suddenly in chaos.

Although the defenders in the city put up stubborn resistance, it was to no avail, and the defenders were quickly defeated by Li Jing's army, and Guo Jin and Han Shizhong quickly took control of the west and south gates.

The herald Pegasus reported that the west city gate and the south city gate had been taken by our army, and Guo Jin and Han Shizhong had entered the eastern capital.

With a loud roar, the east gate was blasted open by artillery fire, and when Li Jing saw this, he immediately ordered the whole army to enter the city.

……

There is a royal garden in the harem of the eastern capital, this imperial garden covers an extremely wide area, covering an area of about 5,000 square meters, there are pavilions and pavilions, rockery gardens, everything, and there is a huge flower garden, full of flowers, beautiful.

Next to the flower garden is a stone bridge, and several mandarin ducks are wandering leisurely in the lake under the stone bridge.

Wu Zetian, who was in a depressed mood, came to the imperial garden for a walk, walked on the stone bridge, sat on the railing of the stone bridge, looked into the distance, and from time to time reached out and stroked the green leaves on the railing.

That's when it happened.

A eunuch ran over in a panic and exclaimed, "Queen Mother, it's not good!" Oh no! ”

"Presumptuous! It scared me! What's wrong, so panicked, what kind of system!"

Wu Zetian, who had just calmed down, was yelled at by the eunuch like this, and he was suddenly in a worse mood!

Every day, there was no good news, all bad news came, she felt that she was ten years older, and sooner or later she would be angry with these guys.

"Queen Mother, the city has been breached! The rebels are in!"

The eunuch pounced, fell to his knees and shouted.

"What?!"

Wu Zetian was startled and almost fell off the railing of the stone bridge.

"What the hell is going on? Where did the rebels come in? “

Wu Zetian asked in a panic, his heart pounding.

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, Cao Renshi and Zhang Xuanyu were defeated by the two generals, and the rebels came in from the West Gate and the South Gate!"

The eunuch gasped.

When Wu Zetian heard this, his mind was blank, his legs trembled, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.

Wu Zetian really didn't expect that Cao Renshi and Zhang Xuanyu would be so wasteful, and they swore that they could defeat the enemy and attack Li Jing from both sides, so that they could retreat from the enemy!

The result?

Not only did they not retreat from the enemy, but they were killed by the rebels, and even the west and south gates fell into the hands of the enemy!

"Queen Mother, while the rebels have not blocked the whole city, please leave the Queen Mother quickly and return to Chang'an to order the soldiers and horses of the world!"

The eunuch hurriedly admonished.

Wu Zetian didn't say a word, turned around and left, and ordered someone to take the emperor Li Dan who was under house arrest in the palace and take him away, Li Dan is his last hole card, and she still needs the name of Li Dan, the emperor, to call on the king of soldiers and horses in the world.

"Go find Wang Xiaojie! Let him stop Li Jing! “

Wu Zetian yelled hysterically.

"Whoa!"

The eunuch received the order, and as soon as he got up, he saw Wang Xiaojie wearing armor and walking in with a group of forbidden soldiers.

Wu Zetian's heart tightened, she looked up at Wang Xiaojie, and saw Wang Xiaojie walking over with a solemn face.

"The minister Wang Xiaojie visits the Queen Mother!"

Wang Xiaojie led the forbidden army and knelt down on one knee to salute Wu Zetian!

"Wang Aiqing, please hurry up, what's the situation now?"

When Wu Zetian saw Wang Xiaojie appear, he felt a lot more at ease, and hurriedly asked.

"Queen Mother, the rebels are fierce, we can't hold out for long, please ask the Queen Mother to leave the Eastern Capital quickly and send the Queen Mother out of the city as soon as possible!"

Wang Xiaojie explained that the situation was critical, and asked the forbidden army behind him to escort Wu Zetian out of the city.

"What about you, Wang Aiqing? Aren't you going to leave with Hongu? ”

Wu Zetian asked.

"The Queen Mother will go out of the city first, and the ministers will come to meet the Queen Mother later."

After Wang Xiaojie finished speaking, he got up and left, and before leaving, he asked his subordinates to escort Wu Zetian out of the city desperately.

"Queen Mother, let's go! Otherwise, the rebels will come and kill it, but it will be too late!"

The eunuch urged again and again.

Wu Zetian was only then escorted by the soldiers of the forbidden army and fled from the eastern capital on horseback.

"Pass the order! Assemble all the Praetorian Armies! Get ready to meet the enemy! “

Wang Xiaojie instructed the lieutenant general beside him that he wanted to deal with the rebels and buy time for Wu Zetian to escape from the eastern capital.

"Whoa!"

The deputy general took the order and went to gather the forbidden army to defend the imperial city, and there were many people in the forbidden army, who did not want to stay and wait for death, did not obey Wang Xiaojie's order, and fled directly.

The eastern capital was broken, Li Jing led the army to kill the imperial city, and the musketeers followed Li Jing with flintlock pistols to kill all the way.

Anyone who dared to hinder him and put up his stubborn resistance was shot and killed, and whoever laid down his arms and surrendered was spared death and waited for his fall.

Li Jing led the army and quickly killed the imperial city, and divided his troops to block the gate of the imperial city to prevent people from running out and escaping.
