On the royal street, a tragic battle between the Jiangnan wang clan kicked off.

On the one hand, there are mainly gate lords such as De'an Guo, Yongxin Wang, Changle Ning, and Xingshan Le, including Guo Congyi and Wang Yan, two military giants, as well as a large number of military generals, and their private soldiers and dead soldiers are the first wave of people who attacked the palace before.

After Wang Yan arrived with the elite of the Beijing army, this group of people temporarily withdrew to rest, and now they were naturally brought in handy by Wang Yan, and more than 5,000 people were transferred to block the crowd that was killed on the north side of the royal street.

On the other side, led by the children of the Han family of the Jingguo Mansion, although Han Lingfu has long since withdrawn from the court, his prestige, reputation and character are all respected, and his eldest son Han Zhongjie has naturally become the leader of this team.

The children of the Han family did not disappoint, they moved forward bravely under the leadership of Han Zhongjie, and undoubtedly showed Han Lingfu's style of leading troops back then.

In addition to the Han family, the Jinlin Li family and the Qingyuan Xue family, the two gate valves representing the two prime ministers of the dynasty, also sent the children of the family to practice martial arts and the guards of the family to gather under the banner of King Qin's protection.

In addition, dozens of surnames sent people to form a team of more than 3,000 people with those three families, advancing step by step.

Although they were at a disadvantage in numbers compared to those rebels, the other party had been fighting for half the night, and the children of the Han family, who were also acting as arrows, were all fearless of death, and they gradually gained an advantage.

Wang Yan only glanced at it and returned to the square outside the Hening Gate, but still left half of the guard camp just in case.

The palace walls had been taken by the rebels, and the forbidden army had to retreat to the second line of defense.

This Beijing army is the capital of Wang Yan and Guo Congyi to press the bottom of the box, different from the Zhenwei Army and Liwei Army in the eastern suburbs who are responsible for guarding Chen Lanyu, different from the Qianniu Army and Longxiang Army commanded by Guo Congyi, and even different from the Guowei Army sent by Hu Hai to Beicheng, the Beijing army attacking the palace at this moment knows very well what they are doing.

At least from the commander to the captain in charge of the battalion, every general knows that he is plotting rebellion.

In short, at present, these nearly 30,000 people are the core elite cultivated by the Jiangnan Gate Lords clan in the fourteen years of the Beijing Army.

This is also the key to Wang Yan's ability to convince Guo Congyi.

The rebels advanced step by step, the pressure of the forbidden army increased sharply, and the two sides had reached a situation where they would not give up an inch of land, but the rebels finally occupied an absolute advantage in strength, and the situation of the soldiers of the forbidden army became more and more dangerous.

Close to hand, you live or die.

Shen Yulai had also joined the fight at this moment, his handsome face was covered with blood, and there were already a few wounds on his body that were not serious, but he didn't seem to feel pain, and while bravely slashing and killing the enemy, he shouted loudly to his subordinates.

Because he knew that not far behind him was the Duancheng Palace, which was where the dignity of the Great Qi Imperial Court was, and it was also the place where the Son of Heaven stood.

How can you take half a step back?

Only fight to the death!

"Brothers, hold on! Fight the enemy! ”

Shen Yulai slashed a rushing rebel to death with a knife, and his hoarse voice boosted the morale of the forbidden soldiers.

The night was so long.

After a long time of fighting, fatigue has already swept through the whole body, many people are already shaking their hands holding knives at this moment, they heard Shen Yulai's shout, and they also knew the heavy responsibility on their shoulders, but they didn't have the strength to respond, because once that breath was vented, it couldn't stop the surging rebels in front of them.

Through the open Hening Gate, Wang Yan looked at the battle line in front of him, a hideous smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes looked at the 10,000 fresh troops still left in the square, ready to put this last force into it.

At this moment, on the steps in front of the Duancheng Palace, a loud voice overwhelmed the noise and chaos.

"The soldiers of the forbidden army obey the order-"

Qin Zheng is promoted as a warp weaver, and although his martial arts are not as good as those of Lin Jie and Wei Chigui, they are enough for the forbidden army and the rebels who stormed the palace to hear clearly.

"Your Majesty has a will, reinforcements are coming, hold on for a moment, victory belongs to us after all! Your Majesty will personally cheer for the soldiers! ”

On the steps, in the open space in front of the palace gate, a big drum was hurriedly erected, and Li Duan stood aside, and first said to the hundreds of loyal guards: "Go, go and fight side by side with the forbidden soldiers." ”

"Yes!"

Hundreds of voices were in unison, and then they turned around and rushed to the battlefield ahead without hesitation.

In addition to Qin Zheng, there were only two martial arts masters who were left by Li Duan's side, and this was already the last guard of the Son of Heaven.

Li Duan held the drumstick in both hands, walked over to the big drum, took a deep breath, and then swung the mallet forward.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Li Duan obviously didn't know those impassioned drum beats, he just struck a little clumsily and swung the mallet with all his strength.

The sound of the drum is not clumsy, but like Huang Zhong Da Lu, one after another from the gate of the Duancheng Hall to the distance.

It was passed into the hearts of every soldier of the forbidden army.

Someone took advantage of the gap to look back, only to see the figure standing in front of the drum, stubbornly and firmly waving the drumstick, the drum seemed to fall on the heart of this forbidden soldier, making his eyes instantly burst into tears.

Someone didn't look back, he just looked at the rebel figure in front of him, listening to the sound of the drum gradually coming, a bloodthirsty smile suddenly bloomed on his face, and then he grinned and raised his knife, and his trembling hand became extremely powerful at this moment.

Shen Yulai's eyes were red, and he roared out a sentence from between his teeth: "Die for Your Majesty!" ”

"Fight to the death!"

Countless soldiers of the forbidden army responded in unison, courage and blood echoed in their hearts, and then set off pieces of brilliant sword light, smashing down on the rebels with the attitude of ending up together!

Thousands of forbidden troops actually forced the rebels who outnumbered them to retreat!

The rebels were cowardly at this moment, not only because of the sudden outbreak of the forbidden soldiers, not only because of the hundreds of skilled janissaries who joined the battle, but more importantly, because the Son of Heaven had obviously appeared, but he did not send someone to persuade him to surrender according to the custom, which means that the Son of Heaven will not let go of any rebellious person!

The sound of drums reached the outside of the Hening Gate, and Wang Yan looked at the scene in front of him, almost breathing fire in his eyes.

He didn't think that the forbidden army was really too strong to be invincible, but because his own people were timid and cowering, he said sharply: "Military law team, step forward!" ”

This military team is his carefully selected sons of the clan, they know better than anyone else that tonight's success or failure represents the life and death of their respective families, so they do not hesitate to step forward, and strive to make the army in front of them fight back, breaking the last trace of the forbidden army's tense will.

At this moment, the first glimmer of light finally appeared on the horizon.

Not enough to illuminate the earth, but the darkness has begun to dissipate.

An ominous premonition rose in Wang Yan's heart, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the west.

The square outside the Hening Gate is extremely vast, and there are three roads outside, one of which is the Royal Street due north, and the other two are the long streets in the east-west direction.

A big banner suddenly appeared in Wang Yan's sight, followed by countless galloping armor soldiers, and a fierce roar came from afar.

"The Wuwei camp is ordered to be rescued by King Qin!"

Wang Yan's eyes were cracked, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Zhang Xu! ”

The reason why he was able to persuade others to take risks and fight to the death was, of course, not just by being able to speak well, but by making relatively complete deductions.

In the capital, the 8,000 forbidden army is certainly brave, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses built by Wang Yan and Guo Congyi are not weak brigades, plus more than 10,000 people from various gate lords, it is enough to solve the problem of the forbidden army killing the Son of Heaven.

Outside the capital, although the Dingwei army of Chen Lanyu of the Jinwu battalion was absolutely loyal to the Son of Heaven, Le Minghong and Zuo Yushan were enough to trap each other. Needless to say, Hu Hai was already a person in Guo Congyi's boat, and he was able to draw out the trusted Guowei army to enter the city to support.

As for the Wuwei battalion commanded by Zhang Xu, Wang Yan was not sure to convince this outlier in the officialdom of Daqi, so he simply excluded him. Even if Zhang Xu is a person from the Son of Heaven, it will be too late for him to come to the capital when he learns the news, and he can't enter the city at all!

Wang Yan had three troops and horses under his command, and he took away 30,000 people who could be trusted in the name of counterinsurgency, and the remaining nearly six or seven thousand people could not let them know the inside story of tonight, so Wang Yan ordered them to guard the west city and strictly prohibit anyone from entering.

However, Zhang Xu took the soldiers and horses of the Wuwei battalion and drove straight in without hindrance!

Wang Yan didn't notice that under the banner in the distance, the knight beside Zhang Xu was the second prince Li Zongben, and his blood-stained expression was grim.

"Meet the enemy!"

Wang Yan still did not give up, and as soon as he gave the order, half of the new forces in the square were divided to face the west.

There was no superfluous nonsense on both sides, and they immediately fought and staggered.

"Master Hou! Master Hou! ”

Suddenly, he galloped from the end of the long street to the east, and shouted loudly from afar.

Wang Yan recognized at a glance that this was the person next to Guo Congyi, and when he heard the other party's extremely panicked voice, he felt that his head exploded suddenly, and he forcibly endured the severe pain and slapped his horse forward, followed by the guard battalion.

"What's the matter?!" Wang Yan's beard is all open.

The man's face turned pale and said, "Master Hou, the cavalry of the border army has arrived, and our army has been defeated in Beicheng. The privy councillor asked the villain to come and tell the Hou Ye that the defeat was decided, so find a way to withdraw! ”

I have to say that Guo Congyi finally retains a trace of righteousness.

However, Wang Yan was struck by lightning, his body staggered, and he almost fell from his horse.

The man said to himself: "Master Hou, the cavalry of the border army is coming!" ”

As if in response to his words, the long street to the east was like thunder, approaching quickly from far and near.

Wang Yan looked up with a dull face, and countless cavalry appeared in the faint light of the sky.

The person who took the lead was none other than Shanyang Hou Lu Shen!

In the palace, in front of the Duancheng Palace, Li Duan was sweating, but he still did not stop beating the drums.

"Your Majesty! The army has arrived! The die is cast! ”

With tears in his eyes, Qin Zheng looked at the Son of Heaven who insisted on beating the drums, and almost pleaded: "Your Majesty, let the ministers come!" ”

Li Duan shook his head, and the drum beat suddenly became louder, resounding between heaven and earth!

Looking down from above, I saw that the rebels were squeezed in the area from the north side of the palace to the square outside the palace, the south was the soldiers of the forbidden army who fought bravely, the west was the army of the Wuwei battalion led by the second prince and the Marquis of Yongding, the north was the loyal people led by the children of the Han family, and the east was the border army led by Lu Shen with nearly 10,000 elite cavalry!

Surrounded on all sides, swept away!

Accompanied by the magnificent and magnificent drums, countless roars exploded in the air.

"For Daqi, kill!"

"For Your Majesty, kill!"

"For the world, kill!"

"Kill!"

The man marches forward bravely and sees death as home!

"Kill!"

Swords and guns are constantly raised, and blood bursts out!

"Kill!"

The sound of drums accompanies you to move forward and slay away the evil!

The rebels finally collapsed, but they had nowhere to flee and nowhere to hide, and everywhere they went were angry faces and a murderous aura that filled the heavens and the earth.

In the crowd, Wang Yan looked at his subordinates who were cut melons and vegetables, and suddenly grinned, and his laughter was full of self-deprecation.

He jerked up his long knife and took a deep breath to cut it into his throat.

A spear came like a meteor and nailed it to his knife-wielding arm, and the terrifying force knocked him directly to the ground.

The next moment, Lu Shen arrived on horseback, Lin Xi and Li Bingxue lined up left and right, and killed the personal soldiers beside Wang Yan in the blink of an eye.

Lu Shen grabbed the reins and jumped down the horse, strode forward and stepped on Wang Yan's arm, there was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes, only a cold meaning.

Wang Yan struggled in pain, but Lu Shen's next sentence made him lose the courage to struggle in an instant.

"Want to die? It's not that easy, Ling Chi is waiting for you. ”

Wang Yan's body finally trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Shen no longer paid attention to this person, he raised his eyes and looked around, and the scene in the square was already clearly visible.

When Wang Yan's banner fell, the rebels who had already collapsed dropped their weapons one by one, knelt on the ground and raised their hands to surrender.

On the square, the autumn wind kills.

Far away, a round of morning sun finally rose, breaking through the clouds, illuminating every inch of the world.

When the drumming finally stopped, Li Duan handed the drumstick to Qin Zheng, and then stepped forward, his steps slow but extremely firm.

The glow of the sun swayed down.

Shine on the face of this Son of Heaven.

shines on the solemn bodies of countless loyal soldiers of the Great Qi.

Glittering with gold.

Like a god.
