Chapter 453: Bloody at night in Wangcheng, set fire to commit suicide

"Bang, bang, bang"

Gunshots suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the night.

The arsenal of the Goguryeo royal city was suddenly attacked, and the soldiers who were caught off guard fell in response.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack"

Panic erupted.

But Xue Rengui has already led people to surround here.

Under the cover of the gun, Xue Rengui and the others advanced without pressure.

The soldiers defending here had no resistance at all, and fell one by one.

However, Xue Rengui obviously underestimated the enemy.

Just when he thought there was no pressure, a gunshot rang out, unlike their gunfire.

That's the sound of firecrackers!

"Bang, bang, bang"

The Goguryeo soldiers in the arsenal fought back with firearms.

The security team, who had no time to react, was immediately hit by the firecracker.

"Be careful, find a place to hide!"

Xue Rengui suddenly shouted.

The arsenal that had just been almost captured was thus out of his hands.

"Brother Xue, no, there is an army of 10,000 people coming towards this side, and about a stick of incense will come!"

At this time, there are scouts who quickly return to report the situation elsewhere.

"Damn, bad luck!"

Xue Rengui scolded and said.

He carefully examined the terrain of the arsenal, thinking in his heart.

The arsenal did not use firearms in the defense at the beginning, so that he and the others quickly broke through the perimeter.

Later, he may have known that he and the others were using guns, and then returned to the arsenal to fight with a musket.

"First detachment, keep up with General Ben!"

"Second detachment, don't save bullets, hit the door to the death, cover us!"

Xue Rengui immediately made a decision.

He felt that there were not many defensive soldiers in the arsenal, and there should not be many firearms in it.

Rushing up, under the cover of their own people, they will soon need to change their bullets, use this opportunity to fight back, and the losses will not be too much.

There is no way, a stalemate will only make yourself and others suffer, after all, there are 10,000 Goguryeo soldiers coming in this direction.

"Kill!"

After the arrangement was made, Xue Rengui led the team to rush out.

The second detachment was covered by fire, and no soldiers dared to show their heads inside the gates of the arsenal.

The slightly outcropping ones were beaten into a hornet's nest.

Under the cover of fire, Xue Rengui and the others quickly rushed to the door of the weapons store.

Immediately, Xue Rengui gestured towards the second detachment, and the second detachment's firepower suddenly stopped.

As soon as the fire stopped, the soldiers in the arsenal immediately opened fire and poked their heads out.

However, at this time, Xue Rengui had already prepared the ignited explosives, and when they opened the door to reveal the crack in the door, he threw the explosives into it.

"Ah, it's dynamite!"

"Quick, run, hide!"

However, the next moment, a thud sounded.

The panic inside disappeared suddenly, and there was not even a scream.

"Rush in with me!"

Xue Rengui's eyes were fierce and he shouted loudly.

He was the first to rush in, his eyes wide and the gong wide, looking for the soldier who was still alive.

But in fact, whether alive or dead, as long as he finds it, he does not hesitate to replenish the gun.

"The first team replenishes the guns, and the second team places the explosives, quick!"

Xue Rengui continued to arrange.

Soon, the explosives brought by the security team were planted next to the weapons.

Most of the weapons of this era were made of soft iron and copper, and the explosion of a large amount of explosives would melt a little or destroy its straightness.

It didn't take long for the security team to set up the explosives and quickly retreat.

After Xue Rengui and the others left, the 10,000 soldiers who rushed here finally arrived.

But at this moment, there was a bang in the arsenal, and a shocking explosion sounded.

The next moment, the entire arsenal collapsed with a bang, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Don Dog !!"

The leader noticed the corpse lying on the ground and couldn't help but roar angrily.

There is no doubt that the people of Datang have weapons that are more powerful than firearms.

"General, General Lu asked you to report for duty."

At this moment, a soldier came up and whispered beside the general.

"If you don't have time, you will say that the arsenal has been destroyed, and General Ben will do his best to investigate!"

The general's eyes were hideous and terrifying, and he said coldly.

The soldier did not dare to talk any nonsense and left quickly.

"Leave two thousand men to clear the scene and bring all the weapons they find that can be used."

"For the rest, follow General Ben to the palace, the time has come to save the king, and the opportunity to pay homage to the marquis has arrived."

The general said in a deep voice.

He had already received a secret order from Gao Tianzhi.

When you come to the arsenal at night, you call weapons.

But unexpectedly, someone came in advance and blew up the weapons depot.

This made him immediately feel that the king's order was not simple, there must be an invasion of the Tang army or something else.

After all, today, Fang Yuan, who once made Goguryeo chickens restless, came again.

Although he changed from a tobe scholar to a tobe squire, he still should not be underestimated.

This is also the reason why he dared to refuse Lu Tingmei's father.

The army marched in two groups and quickly made its way to the palace.

Before anyone arrived, they heard bursts of gunfire.

"Quick, support!"

"Even if you die, you will rush to General Ben!"

The general was shocked and gave the order to die.

They don't have weapons now, but even if they do, they're all the same.

In the face of a powerful weapon like a firebolt, only a bow and arrow can barely do anything.

The other swords are useless, as if they were ornaments.

"Damn, how did they come so fast?!"

Xue Rengui's expression suddenly changed when he heard the movement.

He immediately organized his troops and fired at the rushing soldiers in batches, while the other group continued to attack the city.

But seeing the reinforcements rushing over desperately, the front fell and the back still rushed over, and after slowly approaching, Xue Rengui knew that this would not work.

"Retreat!"

Only retreat.

Otherwise, the bullet will be their death.

Soon, Xue Rengui led people away, as if they were fighting a guerrilla war.

The general walked out of the soldiers, his face was terrifyingly cold, and he looked at the corpse on the ground for a long time.

"Hand-pick corpses!"

The general said in a deep voice.

"Report, 1,360 dead!"

Soon, the death toll was reported.

After hearing the death hand, the general's body trembled, and he almost didn't stand still.

In just a few moments, 1,360 people were lost, and Datang's weapons were too terrifying.

In the face of such a weapon, Goguryeo really has no chance of winning at all, just meat on the chopping block.

This feeling of powerlessness made the general's fists clench, and he didn't know when his nails were inserted into the flesh, and he only felt cold all over.

"General?!"

The adjutant shouted quietly.

"Clean up the scene, clear the dead soldiers, and verify their identities at dawn tomorrow."

"Listen to the guards of the palace, I am talking about Qingchang, and I am ordered by His Majesty to lead troops to support, please open the city gate!"

Tan Qingchang shouted at the guards on the royal city.

After getting the identity verification, Tan Qingchang and the soldiers he brought entered the palace.

Inside the royal palace.

More and more people entered the royal palace.

The scope of Gao Tianzhi's search is getting narrower and narrower.

This also proves that Fang Yuan and the others have less and less places to take it.

"Just now, I heard gunshots in the direction of the palace gate, but now it's gone."

"And there has been no change in our search, so it can be seen that Xue Rengui and others have not been able to attack it."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The security team brought one hundred and fifty people, and Xu Changjin was there three hundred, a total of four hundred and fifty people.

Four hundred and fifty people all have guns that do not need to change bullets every time, and the overall strength should be more than thousands of troops.

But even so, he still didn't capture the royal city, and it is estimated that Gao Tianzhi sent reinforcements, so that Xue Rengui had to retreat.

"What should I do?"

Lu Tingmei said with a calm face.

Since Fang Yuan's people can't enter the palace, then his father definitely can't enter either.

Gao Tianzhi is going to kill himself, can't he summon his own father into the palace, right?

Even if he was summoned to the palace, he was summoned alone, in order to kill his father.

"Let me think about it!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

However, before Fang Yuan could come up with a way, they were discovered.

"Here, found here, here they are!"

I don't know whose voice it is.

But soon, a lot of footsteps came here.

In just a moment, Fang Yuan and the others were about to be surrounded.

"Let's go, this way!"

Fang Yuan pulled Du Miaoyan and walked towards a palace.

Du Miaoyan was injured, and her body was obviously weakened.

Xue Bowu's injuries were even more serious, and he was a little heavy when he walked.

With such a heavy load, Fang Yuan had to consider his plan not to escape for the time being.

So, he had a bold idea in his heart, so he pulled Du Miaoyan and walked towards a palace.

"How did you get into the palace, isn't this a self-defeating retreat?"

Lu Tingmei exclaimed.

But there are chasing soldiers behind her, and she can only keep up with the pace of Shangyuan.

"Got in?"

Soon, Gao Tianzhi also arrived.

He learned that Fang Yuan and the others had entered this palace.

The exits to the palace are now blocked, and people are searching inside.

After all, it is a royal palace, and each palace is quite large, and it will take some time to find someone.

"Back to Your Majesty, my subordinates saw them go in with their own eyes."

A soldier replied.

It was the soldier who discovered Fang Yuan and the others.

Not only him, but many people saw that Fang Yuan and the others had entered inside.

"Very good, reward!"

Gao Tianzhi was very happy and strode into the palace.

The palace is not small, and after Rao is Gao Tianzhi came in, he had not yet found Fang Yuan and the others.

However, at this time, Fang Yuan and the others took the initiative to appear.

"Gao Tianzhi, I want to know, why did you assassinate me?"

Fang Yuan appeared, holding a torch in his hand, and said loudly.

Du Miaoyan and the others also appeared, but they were a little away from Fang Yuan, looking at Fang Yuan's eyes with worry.

"Fang Yuan !!"

Gao Tianzhi's mood suddenly sank to the bottom.

He hated Fang Yuan for not a day or two, not to mention that today he also knew that Fang Yuan had let his woman conceive his species.

As the words fell, the soldiers who were searching the palace rushed to this side, but none of them stepped forward to arrest Fang Yuan, because Gao Tianzhi did not give an order.

"Won't tell?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, a little disappointed.

"I am the king of Goguryeo, how can you be able to control it as a foreign minister?"

"I also want my territory of Goguryeo as your fiefdom and your Spring and Autumn Gate."

"Take it!"

Gao Tianzhi's expression struggled for a while, and then he almost roared.

Before he ascended the throne, he could accept Fang Yuan's control, cooperate with Fang Yuan, and even listen to everything Fang Yuan.

However, after becoming the king of Goguryeo and becoming the supreme of this country, it is impossible to be subservient to others.

No matter who it is, even if it is Li Shimin, the heavenly khan of the Tang Dynasty, he can't really control himself.

If Fang Yuan didn't come to Goguryeo, then Gao Tianzhi's relationship with Fang Yuan would be gone.

But Fang Yuan still came, and as soon as he came, he asked about his fiefdom, wasn't that looking for death?

When the words fell, the soldiers present surrounded Fang Yuan and the others.

"Hahaha Gao Tianzhi, even if I die, I won't be insulted by you."

Fang Yuan suddenly laughed.

The torch in his hand was thrown towards the curtain.

With a pop, the curtain suddenly caught fire, and the fire was very strong.

In an instant, the soldiers' path was blocked and they could not move forward.

"Husband!"

"Fang Yuan!"

Du Miaoyan and Lu Tingmei drank coquettishly.

This was Fang Yuan's plan, sacrificing himself to save a few of them.

"Ha, self-immolation?!"

Gao Tianzhi was stunned and looked at Fang Yuan playfully.

He didn't give the order to move on, but stared at Fang Yuan.

If he could watch Fang Yuan being burned alive like this, it would be a happy thing.

Soon, smoke rose and the fire grew even bigger, and the beams of the palace began to catch fire.

And Fang Yuan and Gao Tianzhi looked at each other, neither of them moved half a step, while Du Miaoyan, Lu Tingmei and Xue Bowu were all controlled.

As for Lu Tingmei's helpers at the beginning, she let them scatter to survive when she fled.

After all, there are so many people who can't escape together, it will only be easier to be discovered.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go, if you don't go, you'll be in danger."

Tan Qingchang has already entered the palace, and now he is next to Gao Tianzhi.

Looking at the growing fire, he had to think about Gao Tianzhi's safety.

I have to leave, I'm afraid there will be something wrong later, after all, the beams of the house are likely to fall and I can't get out of the palace.

"Fang Yuan !!"

Gao Tianzhi squinted his eyes and stared at Fang Yuan.

The two were not far away, but there was a raging fire in the middle.

And Fang Yuan was already surrounded by the fire, but it just didn't burn him, which made Gao Tianzhi speechless, he couldn't see Fang Yuan being burned by the fire with his own eyes.

In the end, under the repeated persuasion of Tan Qingchang and others, Gao Tianzhi reluctantly left the palace, and Du Miaoyan and others were also taken out by him.

Gao Tianzhi thought about leaving Du Miaoyan and the others here to bury the sea of fire together, but he felt that it was not suitable.

Du Miaoyan is a stunning beauty, although she is now covered in blood and has many minor injuries on her body, as long as she cultivates for a period of time, she is a stunning beauty, and his harem lacks such a woman.

And Lu Tingmei, now that she is still the queen, her father has not been arrested, so she can't do anything to Lu Tingmei for the time being.

As for Xue Bowu, he took it with him.

"Staring at this palace, if the person is not dead, mend the knife!"

Gao Tianzhi said in a deep voice.

He looked at the raging fire and felt that Fang Yuan was in a catastrophe.

But he had to worry that Fang Yuan was lucky that there was no possibility of death.

So keep people here, just in case.

"Yes."

Tan Qingchang said yes, and immediately arranged for people to guard the Quartet.

"Continue to look for Princess Gao Xiangyu, she went crazy and left with my prince."

"Be careful, you must not let Gao Xiangyu hurt the prince."

Gao Tianzhi arranged again.

He wanted to catch Gao Xiangyu, catch the son, and strangle him to death in front of Lu Tingmei.
