While Jing Qingshan rushed to the Jingguo Mansion and the rebels were attacking the palace, the general Wang Yan personally led two Beijing armies to advance in the direction of the palace.

They raised the banner of escorting the rebellion, but the real purpose was to cooperate with the rebels who appeared first, and try to cut through the Forbidden Army's defenses tonight.

In the center of the dignified iron horse, Wang Yan's expression was cold, and there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

This time, he coerced a large number of Jiangnan clans, otherwise he, Guo Congyi, Ning Yuanfu and others alone would not be able to make up the first wave of more than 10,000 elites to attack the palace.

After more than half a year of continuous suppression, in the face of the Son of Heaven's refusal to stop, these clans finally united, they just want to kill the emperor in the palace, and then support a prince who is willing to cooperate to come to power, no one is more suitable than the third prince with a shallow foundation.

Not to mention that the third prince had long expressed his tendency to be close to the Jiangnan clan.

Today's plan is to kill the Son of Heaven as soon as possible and not give those emperors any time to react.

Wang Yan looked at the south from afar, and a hideous and cold smile appeared on his lips.

While he was complacent, another general, Liu Shouguang, had just learned of the rebellion.

At the Beicheng Festival Hall station, the tall and burly Liu Shouguang walked quickly to the front hall, and was greeted by Huo Huaishan, the commander of the Yongyi Army.

There were a total of six Beijing armies in Beiya, all of which were originally under the command of Wang Yan alone, and the time was as long as six years, and his influence on these six Beijing armies was very deep, and it was difficult for ordinary people to determine the proportions.

Now the Northern Ya is divided into two, and Liu Shouguang is in charge of the three armies, but except for Huo Huaishan, the commander he brought from the Southern Ya, the remaining two armies often disobey his orders.

Although both commanders were always respectful on the surface, they had all sorts of extremely valid reasons to shirk when they were needed.

"General, the situation in the palace is critical."

Huo Huaishan's tone was hurried, and his footsteps did not stop.

Liu Shouguang said neatly: "Now I definitely can't wait for His Majesty's will to transfer troops, and there is no need to continue to wait, the Yongyi Army and the personal guard battalion will immediately go to the palace with the general to escort them." ”

He didn't mention the other two Beijing armies, obviously because he couldn't trust the other party, Huo Huaishan didn't waste his words, and immediately responded: "Obey the order!" ”

The 2,000 personal guard battalion is Liu Shouguang's capital at the bottom of the box, and it is also the support that he can rely on to gain a foothold in the Beijing military system.

The Guards were quickly assembled, and the Brave was a little slower, but not too much time was wasted.

Liu Shouguang gave an order, and the whole army quickly advanced southward.

However, they had only just walked two streets away, when the vanguard of the front army, who was in charge of opening the way, stopped, and then a military general rode his horse to the rear and said loudly: "General, the Thousand Niu Army and the Long Xiang Army are blocking the way of our army!" ”

The expressions of the surrounding generals changed, and Liu Shouguang's thick eyebrows furrowed.

The Qianniu Army and the Longxiang Army were the other two Beijing armies under his command.

Putting aside whether their current actions are chaotic or not, the key is that these two armies actually moved faster than the Yongyi Army, blocking the necessary way for Liu Shouguang to lead the army to the south in advance.

After a while, Liu Shouguang came to the front army with a group of generals, only to see that the torches on the long street were bright, and the two Beijing armies on the opposite side had already finished arraying, making it clear that they would not let the Yongyi army pass.

"General."

A calm voice suddenly sounded in the opposite array.

Liu Shouguang followed the prestige, and there was a cold color in his eyes.

The privy envoy Guo rode out from Yi and took the reins at a safe distance, and on his left and right were the commanders of the Qianniu Army and the Longxiang Army.

Liu Shouguang said in a deep voice: "What does Guo Shumi mean by this? ”

Guo Congyi said loudly: "There is chaos in Beijing tonight, the rebels are attacking the palace, and the situation is extremely chaotic. Now the general Wang Yan has taken his elite to the palace to rescue the driver, in order to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters, except for the Beijing army under Wang Yan, the rest of the army is on standby, and cannot make their own claims. ”

These words are inevitably to fool Liu Shouguang as a fool.

However, Liu Shouguang knew in his heart that Guo Congyi's move only needed a high-sounding reason, and the two commanders could drive his subordinates to obey his orders, after all, he was the first person in the Great Qi military, and he had direct jurisdiction over hundreds of thousands of troops in the Great Qi.

Liu Shouguang took a deep breath and said words as sharp as a knife: "The rebels are besieging the palace, Your Majesty is in danger, Guo Shumi doesn't want to do his best to protect His Majesty, but he has the leisure to wait for the general here?" If Your Majesty makes a mistake, can Guo Shumi take on this responsibility? Ben Jiang didn't care what Guo Shumi's reasons were, but anyone who blocked Ben Jiang from going to save the driver would be regarded as an anti-thief! Tell you to get out of the way immediately, otherwise when the accounts are settled after the autumn, it will be the day when you will raid your family and destroy your family! ”

There was a commotion in the front formation.

"Liu Shouguang!"

Guo Congyi snorted, and then reprimanded angrily: "This official said very clearly, the rebels are not the opponent of the 8,000 forbidden army at all, and the tens of thousands of elites under Wang Yan are enough to extinguish this rebellion!" You have to lead your troops to the palace now, you don't know if you want to take advantage of the opportunity to rebel! Erbu is on standby, the official is not to blame for the past, if he dares to take another step forward, he will be killed! ”

The situation is on the verge of eruption.

A lieutenant walked quickly behind Liu Shouguang and said anxiously: "General, an army has entered the city from the north gate and is rushing towards this side, and they are under the banner of a brave battalion and a mighty army!" ”

Brave battalion? Chongshan Hou Huhai?

The name flashed in Liu Shouguang's mind, and he immediately figured out everything.

Guo Congyi and Wang Yan are in cahoots, and I don't know how many forces have colluded, tonight it is clear that they are working together to promote the rebellion!

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Shouguang pulled out his long knife without hesitation and said sharply: "Guo Congyi and Wang Yan committed rebellion and wanted to kill the monarch and rebel!" The soldiers of the Qianniu Army and the Longxiang Army obeyed the order, and those who abandoned their weapons could be spared death, otherwise they would be punished with the same crime as the rebels! ”

Guo Congyi's heart sank, he didn't expect Liu Shouguang's reaction to be so decisive, he originally planned to wait for Hu Hai's Guowei army to arrive, and force Liu Shouguang to be captured with three rounds.

In the flickering firelight, Liu Shouguang rode his horse forward, raised his sword and roared: "Soldiers, kill the enemy with this general!" ”

The Brave Warriors and the Guards Battalion followed closely behind, sweeping forward like an iron curtain!

The sound of killing suddenly rose to the sky, as if it was straight into the sky!

……

The battle in the North City did not attract the attention of most people, because at the moment they were most worried about the situation in the Imperial Palace.

In this incomparably fierce offensive and defensive battle from the beginning, the forbidden army showed almost perfect military skills under the command of Shen Yulai.

The palace was surrounded by a moat, and there was not enough space for the rebels to spread on the east and west, so the focus of their attack was on the Ho Ning Gate to the north.

There was a wide square large enough for the rebels to form up, and they were constantly pouring under the palace walls through stone bridges to attack.

Shen Yulai methodically checked and filled in the gaps, the forbidden army was second to none in the Great Qi army in terms of its excellent equipment, and at this moment it had a condescending advantage, so the scene looked fierce, but in fact, the rebels could not break through the defense line of the forbidden army at all.

Even if a small number of rebels crossed the palace wall, they were immediately besieged and killed by the elite arranged by Shen Yulai in advance.

If this trend continues, even if it is dawn, the rebels will not want to step into the palace.

At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded in the rebel formation.

"The forbidden army coerced the Son of Heaven to commit rebellion, and was ordered by His Royal Highness King Chen to kill the rebel!"

Obviously, the soldiers of the forbidden army would not take the first half of the sentence to heart, but everyone was stunned when they heard the words of His Royal Highness King Chen.

Could it be that tonight's rebellion is because the eldest prince wants to kill the king?

In the torch-lit square, a group of elite masters surrounded a young man and moved forward slightly.

The noisy battlefield seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.

How could the soldiers of the forbidden army on the palace wall not recognize that the young man was the eldest prince!

Even Shen Yulai was stunned, no one would have thought that the eldest prince would appear among the rebels, and he seemed to be the leader of this rebel army.

A strange emotion surged in the hearts of the soldiers of the forbidden army.

Although the eldest prince couldn't see the faces of those soldiers clearly, he knew what these people would probably think.

There were twelve masters sent by Wang Yan, and the group surrounded the eldest prince in the middle, and two of them even stood close to him to prevent him from changing his hexagram in battle. As long as he can't say anything, under the witness of tens of thousands of people tonight, the people of the world will soon know that it is the great prince who plots rebellion tonight.

This is the reason why Wang Yan made people shout that ridiculous slogan.

The eldest prince knew that he was not smart, otherwise he would not be compared to the second child, let alone be played by the third child, but from the Yan family manor all the way to the square outside the palace, this time was enough for him to think about some problems.

He lowered his head slowly, a look of determination in his eyes.

"This King ......"

His voice was so low that only a few of the experts next to him who were in charge of monitoring him could hear it, and they couldn't help but look at the eldest prince curiously, and the two people behind him reached out and put their hands on the shoulders of the eldest prince, confident that they could make the eldest prince lose the ability to speak at any time.

“…… It is the son of the Heavenly Family, the son of the Emperor, how can he endure the coercion of you bastards? ”

The eldest prince finished speaking calmly, and then a hideous and crazy look appeared on his face, just as he had done when he punished people in the palace.

A majestic energy exploded!

Everyone subconsciously put on a defensive posture, and the eldest prince's upper body suddenly leaned forward, and his fists struck out backwards like thunder and lightning!

There were two muffled sounds, and the two masters who were close to the eldest prince were caught off guard and were smashed half a foot away with a punch.

The rest of the people looked shocked, and only then did they realize that this delicate and expensive prince was actually a martial arts master!

"Even if it's death—"

The eldest prince looked like a mad demon, stepping forward step by step, fighting with the masters sent by Wang Yan.

He didn't know how many times he had been attacked, and he didn't know how far he was ahead, he just released all his internal energy with red eyes, and word by word burst out of his mouth.

"This king will never betray his father!"

This sudden turn of events shocked the audience.

The forbidden army on the palace wall looked at the eldest prince who sacrificed his life among the rebels, and a solemn look appeared on everyone's faces.

Shen Yulai immediately roared angrily: "Strong archers, cover Your Highness!" ”

The rain of arrows came like locusts, coming all over the sky, forcibly forcing a line around the great prince.

"Listen to the soldiers of the forbidden army, this king has never betrayed his father, tonight it is Wang Yan and others who are plotting to rebel, so you must defend the palace to protect the Son of Heaven!"

The eldest prince was covered in blood, approaching the palace wall with great difficulty, and roared angrily with all his strength.

A high-pitched voice poured into everyone's ears.

A cold knife light came from the side, pulling a knife horizontally in the lower abdomen of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince seemed to feel no pain, reached out and grabbed the blade, and pulled the henchman of Wang Yan closer.

He didn't expect that the eldest prince would be brave at all, and the next moment a bloody fist would come to him.

The eldest prince smashed his face directly with a punch, snatched the long knife in his hand, looked at the group of rebels around him, and smiled fiercely and rampantly: "Come on! ”

At this time, the eldest prince was covered in blood, like a demon of the Nine Shadows, and he actually suppressed all the rebels.

"Your Highness!"

A group of elite forbidden troops broke through the resistance of the rebels and retreated back with the great prince near the palace wall in the middle.

In fact, at this moment, the eldest prince was almost running out of oil, and he only felt a trance in his brain, so he threw the long knife in his hand with the last strength, only to see a cold light flashing in the night, and the long knife went straight into the heart of a rebel.

He smiled contentedly and fell on his back.
