North of the Imperial Palace, outside the Gate of Hening.

The eldest prince resolutely rose up with a certain heart of death, and thousands of forbidden troops witnessed it with their own eyes, watching the eldest son of the heavenly family kill dozens of rebels at the cost of his life, so that no one believed the demagogic words of the previous rebels, and all the forbidden troops firmly believed that the eldest prince was coerced by the rebels.

for he testifies to all this with his mighty blood.

When the eldest prince was hurriedly sent to the rear by Shen Yulai, the soldiers of the forbidden army, who were deeply encouraged, burst out with the courage to die with the enemy, and slaughtered all the rebels who tried to threaten the palace walls.

The rebels were already unable to break through the defense line of the forbidden army, and they were deterred by the momentum of the eldest prince's death, and the offensive was even weaker.

If this situation continues, they will not be able to storm the palace for another three days, but on the contrary, it is very likely that it will collapse on its own.

The two elite Beijing troops led by Wang Yan arrived in time, and finally reunited the confidence of the rebels.

At this moment, the rebels outside the palace have approached 40,000 people, and after Wang Yan took over the command, the rebels' offensive has obviously become orderly, no longer limited to Heningmen, and there are also small but extremely tragic battles on the east and west.

Although the palace is majestic, it is not a city after all, and it cannot form an absolute defensive advantage.

Gradually, a small group of rebels broke into the wall, and Shen Yulai, the commander of the forbidden army, remained calm, and deployed troops from a high place to repeatedly besiege and kill those rebels who broke through, while trying to keep the defense line of the palace wall in the north stable.

Shen Yulai glanced up at the deep night, it was the darkest hour of the night, but the white sky would eventually appear.

"Go and tell Your Majesty, there will be no loss in the palace defense within two hours."

Shen Yulai calmly ordered, and a forbidden soldier immediately took the order and ran backwards.

Behind the Duancheng Palace, hundreds of guards were on standby, loyally protecting the safety of the Son of Heaven.

Li Duan was still standing under the corridor, and after listening to the report of the forbidden army, he bowed his head and said: "You have done a good job, tell Shen Yulai that it will only take an hour at most to stop the rebels at all costs." ”

The forbidden army respectfully responded.

Qin Zheng looked at his back as he ran away like a swift wind, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the forbidden army are loyal and brave, and the ministers believe that they will fight to the end for Your Majesty." It's just that the rebels are superior in numbers, and the offensive is becoming more and more fierce, in case the forbidden army's defense line is breached, there is a fear of chaos. The minister implored His Majesty and the concubines to evacuate temporarily through that secret passage, the rebels are now on a tiger and the situation can be settled as long as the two armies arrive. Until then, just in case, Your Majesty might as well -"

Before the words fell, several fireworks suddenly exploded in the night sky in the distance, as if in response to the fireworks over the palace before.

Li Duan said lightly: "No need." ”

Qin Zheng turned his head to look, and saw that above the night in the west and north directions, the fireworks were extremely gorgeous.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and said: "The overall situation has been decided, and the minister congratulates His Majesty!" ”

Li Duan nodded, but there was no smile on his face, he just looked at the sky quietly.

Outside the Hening Gate, Wang Yan, who was constantly urging the rebels to strengthen the offensive, naturally also noticed those fireworks, and a chill and fear instantly climbed into his heart, making his expression extremely hideous, and he said sharply to the generals around him: "Wait for a quarter of an hour, if you can't destroy the forbidden army's defense line, military law will be engaged!" ”

Everyone was shocked, looking at Wang Yan, who was gradually going crazy, no one dared to speak out and advise, so they could only convey military orders to their respective subordinates.

The offensive of the rebels was like a tide in an instant, and the intensity of the war skyrocketed, and the soldiers of the forbidden army gritted their teeth to support it under the command of Shen Yulai.

In front of him was a battlefield of iron and blood, Wang Yan's eyes breathed fire, and his mind was even more annoyed.

He turned his head to look at the north, could Guo Congyi be so unbearable, he couldn't take more than 10,000 people in Liu Shouguang's hands with several times the troops!

According to the original plan, at this time, Guo Congyi should solve Liu Shouguang, lead the troops to the palace to complete the convergence, and crush the forbidden army with an absolute advantage.

Wang Yan finally couldn't help but scold: "Waste! ”

……

North Side.

Guo Congyi's face was pale, and the guards next to him also looked solemn.

He never thought that he would be unable to defeat the more than 10,000 people led by Liu Shouguang with three times the strength of the Qianniu Army, the Long Xiang Army and the Brave Battalion Guowei Army!

Although there is an objective reason for this, that is, the battlefield chosen by the two sides is not a wide flat land in the wilderness, and it is impossible for the side with superior forces to calmly set up the formation here, but the three armies take turns to go into battle and never gnaw on the hard bone in front of them.

Liu Shouguang was burly and tall, like an iron tower that looked down on the world, and no one in the opposite formation was the enemy of the spear in his hand.

In the face of the siege of the three armies summoned by Guo Congyi, he personally led the personal guard battalion to block the enemy in front, and asked the Yongyi army to command Huo Huaishan to lead the army to stabilize the rear position, so that his own formation could maintain a stable state.

The shouts of killing continued, but Liu Shouguang was not a little complacent in his heart, even though he was not left behind with one enemy and three enemies, but the situation in the palace was still unknown, and he was most worried about the safety of the Son of Heaven.

If the Son of Heaven makes a mistake, what is the point of him killing all the enemies in front of him?

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Shouguang said sharply: "The pro-guard battalion, follow the general to the southeast!" ”

The brave men around them responded in unison, and they instantly understood the boss's thoughts, they could not continue to fight, they must find a breakthrough and gallop to the palace.

Guo Congyi quickly sensed Liu Shouguang's intentions, and he sneered: "Okay, I'm afraid you won't be able to shrink!" ”

When he dispatched his troops to prepare to weave his pockets, the fireworks rising in the night in the north almost illuminated the vast world.

These fireworks are so gorgeous and beautiful that even the soldiers of the Beijing army who are in the midst of a life-and-death struggle can't help but look up.

The fireworks have not completely disappeared, and the thunder is rolling in.

The first to notice the abnormality was the brave battalion Guowei army that attacked the rear of the Yongyi army.

The soldiers who were resting in rotation turned their heads to look, and their pupils dilated instantly, as countless cavalry appeared at the end of the long street and rushed towards them.

These cavalry were like the Grim Reaper in the night, under the leadership of that young prince, like a sword from outside the sky piercing the vital point of the Guowei army!

Lu Shen rode his horse with a spear, and after blocking some arrows from the hastily shot of the Guowei soldiers, he jumped into the opponent's formation without hesitation, and blood burst out everywhere the spear went!

When the army entered the city, he learned about the situation in the city from the secret agent of the warp weaver who had been waiting for a long time, and immediately asked the secret agents to release fireworks, and at the same time rushed to the battlefield here without stopping.

The cavalry came too suddenly, the Guowei army was defenseless at all, and there was a big gap in the strength of the two sides, so the formation was quickly disrupted.

The sudden mutation, Liu Shouguang immediately gave up the plan to break through, ordered the soldiers of the Yongyi Army to block the enemy in front, and then turned back with the personal guard battalion to cooperate with the cavalry that suddenly appeared to attack the Guowei army.

On the noisy battlefield, Lu Shen and Liu Shouguang seemed to have the same mind, and the two of them each took the most elite tiger army under their command, one south and one north went hand in hand, killing the Guowei army like falling flowers!

The Guowei army did not hold out for too long, and before Guo Congyi could break through the position of the Yongyi army, they had already declared their collapse.

"Marquis of Shanyang, the palace is in danger!"

Liu Shouguang didn't have any nonsense, looked at the young marquis in the blood-stained robe opposite, and shouted hurriedly.

Lu Shen said loudly: "General, please let the soldiers in front retreat to both sides!" ”

Liu Shouguang immediately responded: "Okay! ”

Lu Shen said again: "After our army disperses the enemy, I will immediately lead the troops to the palace, and Guo Congyi will be handed over to the general!" ”

Liu Shouguang nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry!" ”

Lu Shen looked at the cavalry brothers and sisters behind him, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, do you have the strength to break the formation and kill the enemy with this general?" ”

Lin Xi and Li Bingxue didn't speak, but just looked at him with great determination.

In response to Lu Shen, it was the calm and generous voice of the soldiers: "I haven't killed enough!" ”

"Good!"

Lu Shen smiled freely, and then said sharply: "Raise the flag!" ”

On the other side of the battlefield, although Guo Congyi did not know the specific situation in the distance, he at least knew that Liu Shouguang had reinforcements, and the rout of Guowei's army was quickly noticed by him, so he hurriedly suspended his offensive and set up a block on the spot.

In any case, these people cannot be allowed to go to the palace.

Just as the Thousand Niu Army and the Long Xiang Army were adjusting their formations, the soldiers suddenly found that the Yongyi Army on the opposite side had retreated to both sides.

This scene made Guo Congyi's expression more and more solemn.

The sound of horses' hooves began like a wave surging and thundering galloping.

Countless cavalry charged forward with a cry that woke up the night!

"Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, Feiyu Battalion is ordered to enter the King of Jingqin! Those who block will be killed! ”

The cavalry gradually accelerated, and the earth trembled.

"Dingzhou Governor's Mansion, the Seven Star Army is ordered to enter the King of Jingqin! Those who block will be killed! ”

The huge waves have arrived in front of us, and they are gradually becoming monstrous.

"By the will of the Son of Heaven, Shanyang Marquis Lu Shen led the army into Beijing to quell the rebellion! Those who do not surrender will be copied and beheaded all over the house, and the nine clans will be connected! ”

With three words echoing in everyone's ears, the momentum of this cavalry suddenly rose to the peak!

The soldiers of the Qianniu Army and the Long Xiang Army all showed fear on their faces, and after Guo Congyi heard the name Lu Shen clearly, a look of despair suddenly surged in his eyes.

Lu Shen took the lead, and the horsemen followed closely.

He clenched the spear in his hand, pointed forward with all his might, and roared, "Kill! ”

Like boiling soup and pouring snow, like a fire burning the forest.

This elite cavalry, under the leadership of Lu Shen, went through a fierce battle and fought straight out of a bloody road.

They did not have the slightest love for fighting, and handed over the battlefield to their brave and resolute comrades behind them.

And then all the way south!

……

Palace.

The war raged everywhere.

Under Wang Yan's crazy orders, the rebels finally broke through the outermost palace wall, but the forbidden army retreated, relying on the complex terrain in the palace to resist stubbornly, even though their numbers were far less than the rebels, but none of them were afraid to cower.

Whenever a Praetorian soldier fell, someone rushed up desperately to take his place.

So brave, so loyal, enough to make the rebels feel terrified.

Outside the Hening Gate, Wang Yan's chest rose and fell violently.

There is still a period of time before dawn, the palace has been completely surrounded, and he only needs a little time to kill the Son of Heaven, and then use the Three Princes to control the overall situation!

He stared at the battle situation in front of him, and his hands trembled slightly involuntarily.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the rear.

Wang Yan turned his head to look, only to see countless torches appearing in the north of Yujie.

He hurriedly rode his horse backwards, and arrived at the rear with the guard battalion, and when he saw the faces under the torches, his eyes suddenly glowed with vicious hatred.

"Jingguo Mansion, Han Zhongjie is here!"

"Jinlin Li Clan, Li Yingzhi is here!"

"Qingyuan Xue Clan, Xue Dingjun is here!"

One after another.

One voice after another rang out in the royal streets, representing all the forces in the city loyal to the Son of Heaven, gathered together at this moment to form an extremely determined team, and bravely marched towards the rear of the rebels.

Compared with the Beijing army led by Wang Yan, the ranks of these powerful mansions were extremely chaotic, with a variety of armor and weapons, but they had the belief that they would die of loyalty.

Wang Yan shouted fiercely: "Kill them all!" ”

The team did not hesitate and continued to move forward, accelerating.

Han Zhongjie's old father Han Lingfu's advice came to mind, his eyes stared ahead, and he roared angrily: "For Daqi, for Your Majesty, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

The crowd is surging, and the sound of killing is shocking!
