The night sky was deep, there was no moon in the sky, even the stars were few, and the north wind blew through the streets. The soldiers who were on the night patrol also hid in a leeward place to rest.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came, and then hundreds of black shadows were seen walking quickly on the street. When I got closer, I realized that it was hundreds of soldiers in armor.

Shan Xiongxin led his soldiers all the way unimpeded, and soon crossed most of the streets and came to the Suzaku Gate.

"Someone stops!" Although the soldiers who patrol the city at night have gone to hide and be lazy, the soldiers guarding the city gate are still in charge.

"It's me." A figure came out of the darkness, illuminated by a torch, it was Shan Xiongxin.

"General Shan!" The officer recognized Shan Xiongxin at a glance, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen General Shan." ”

"There is no need to be polite in the army." Shan Xiongxin waved his hand. Shan Xiongxin is very prestigious in the army because he bravely crowns the three armies, treats the soldiers very well, and leads the army to victory many times.

The officer got up and said, "It's so late, why is the general here?" ”

"You are Chen Xu, I remember you, today Li Tang attacked in a big way, and the king was worried that they would attack at night, so I asked me to pay more attention to the night patrol." Shan Xiongxin said.

"How's it going? You have to be careful where it matters! ”

"The general actually remembers the name of the humble position, the general can rest assured, the brothers are vigilant, and they will definitely not relax their vigilance." The petty officer patted his chest and reassured.

"That's good, come with me!" Shan Xiongxin walked forward as he spoke, and the soldiers behind him also followed.

The little officer took Shan Xiongxin to the vicinity of the city gate, and soon several people came to the vicinity of the city gate, and the officer led the way while introducing, and inadvertently turned his head, and suddenly found that he was surrounded by Shan Xiongxin's personal soldiers.

What made him chuckle even more was that the eyes of these pro-soldiers were all cold.

In an instant, a chill rushed down the vertebrae to his head, and between the lightning and flint, Chen Xu had a flash of inspiration, and immediately whispered: "The general wants to vote for Li Tang?" ”

Shan Xiongxin, who was about to make a move, almost drew his sword and hacked him to death after hearing this, but in the end, he reacted and stared at him coldly. At the same time, several of his own soldiers around him drew half of their knives.

"You're going to tell it?"

"General, the little one has long had the intention of voting for Li Tang, but there is no way out, the old and young in the family are being stared at again, and they dare not move, if the general wants to vote for Li Tang, he hopes to pull the small one!"

"You also know, that Wang Shichong is insidious and cunning, during this period of time, the army is besieging the city, I haven't eaten for several days, so many big officials outside have been lowered, why should I work hard for him Wang Shichong?"

Shan Xiongxin stared at him tightly, and it took a moment for his expression to thaw.

"Hahaha, brother is really a smart person, since that's the case, then let's be together."

"Thank you, General." Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time he realized that his back had long been soaked with sweat.

"General, this city gate and I have a total of three captains on duty, today the two of them went to rest, one on the other side, that person is also my brother, as long as he is brought over, it will be foolproof."

"Good! If it is successful, it will definitely show merit to King Qin when the time comes! ”

Soon there was a creaking sound, and the Suzaku Gate opened in the dark night, and then Shan Xiongxin took two torches and waved them several times outside the city very regularly.

The night was deep, the Tang army camp outside the city was already silent, but the Tang army did not rest, although there was a big battle during the day, but as soon as it entered the night, Li Shimin gathered the generals and personally led the elite to a place about ten miles away from Luoyang City.

waited until the middle of the night before Li Shimin continued to move forward with the army. Finally stopped three miles from the city walls.

Wang Xuanjing stayed by the side calmly, and he was also anxious in his heart, knowing that it was his intention to sneak attack tonight. Luoyang City in the dark night is like a huge reckless beast.

At this time, a few points of light suddenly lit up in the darkness, only to see that the point of light swayed regularly in the dark, back and forth several times, after seeing the firelight, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and immediately planned to take people to rush in.

The people next to him hurriedly stopped and said: "Your Highness, the moon is dark and the wind is high, I don't know if there is fraud in it, Your Highness has a golden body"

"The soldiers are very fast, if the military plane is delayed and this opportunity is lost, how can the city be broken then?" Li Shimin said directly.

"Your Highness, it's better to let the last general lead five hundred people in first, and if everything is fine, Your Highness will lead the army to enter!" Qin Qiong next to him said directly.

"Your Highness, it's better to let Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde lead five hundred people to go first!" Wang Xuanjing said.

Li Shimin hesitated, then nodded and said, "Then send Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde to lead five hundred people!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde bowed and saluted.

"If something is wrong, the two generals must retreat immediately!" Li Shimin admonished.

"Yui!"

Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Qiong led five hundred elites to Luoyang quickly, and soon rushed to the city gate, only to see that the city gate had been opened at this time, and several people were standing at the city gate, Qin Qiong saw Shan Xiongxin at a glance, and hurriedly shouted: "But Shan Brother? ”

"It's Second Brother Qin!" Shan Xiongxin said with great joy.

Seeing that it was Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong immediately put his mind at ease, and after greeting Shan Xiongxin, he immediately led the army into the city, and after confirming the safety, he immediately sent someone back to report quickly.

After Li Shimin got Qin Qiong's news, he immediately gave an order and ordered the army to enter the city. The entry of the army could not be concealed, and it was soon known to the other soldiers in the city.

Shan Xiongxin, Wei Chi Jingde, and Qin Qiong immediately led the army to rush directly to the palace.

Originally, Wang Shichong was not an opponent of the Tang army by relying on Luoyang City, but now that the Tang army directly broke through the city, those Wang Shichong's troops were even less opponents.

What's more, during this period of time, Wang Shichong has gone against the grain and lacked materials, and those soldiers have long reached the limit of patience.

Shan Xiongxin and the three of them quickly broke through the three obstacles all the way, but in a moment, they had already rushed to the gate of the palace. At this time, the palace had already received news that the Tang army had entered the city, and the soldiers guarding the palace were in a panic.

Shan Xiongxin, Wei Chi Jingde, and Qin Qiong all had the courage of ten thousand people, and under the charge of the three of them, no one dared to stop them, and the guards of the palace only resisted for a while, and then they scattered.

The remaining people even opened the palace door and competed to surrender, but the three of them ignored these people, rushed in directly, and captured Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong was about to flee in panic when he learned that the Tang army had entered the city, but it was already too late, and before he could run to the palace, he was beaten off his horse by Wei Chi Jingde.
