Chapter 778: All the way to the Imperial City
。
The areas in the northwest corner of the capital, Xizhimen Street, Xinjiekou North Street, and the city wall are the mansions of the Ouyang family. The Xuanjia cavalry of the Ouyang family's private army galloped eastward along Xizhimen Street, all the way to Xinjiekou, where they stopped and assembled.
The other private troops of the Ouyang family led by Ouyang Changkong were waiting at Xinjiekou.
"The head of the family!!We're late!!Please forgive the head of the family!!" The general who led the troops turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Ouyang Changkong.
Ouyang Changkong, who was riding on a jujube red high-headed horse, glanced at the general indifferently, and just waved his hand to let the general ride on the horse. Then the long whip in his hand pointed in the direction of the Southeast Imperial City, and shouted: "Let's go!!"
The Ouyang family's private army guarding Xinjiekou Street immediately cleared the obstacles blocking the road, Ouyang Changkong took the lead with the reins, and the jujube red high-headed horse rushed out before the Ouyang family's private army. Immediately following Ouyang Changkong was the Xuanjia cavalry of the Ouyang family's private army. Like a black tide, the Xuanjia cavalry rushed towards the direction of the imperial city, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like muffled thunder, and the entire capital trembled at the feet of this Xuanjia cavalry army.
When the battle was fierce on the tower of Xizhimen City, the soldiers of Shenjiwei and Zuohuwei also came to support from the city in the direction of Xizhimen, and naturally they fought with the private army of the Ouyang family guarding the streets and alleys around Xizhimen Street and Xinjiekou North Street, and there were casualties among each other.
However, now these dozens of streets and alleys are still under the control of the Ouyang family's private army, and the Xuanjia cavalry army led by Ouyang Changkong was almost unhindered, and rushed all the way to the vicinity of the Imperial City Root.
Across a wide street is the tall red wall of the Imperial City. It's just that until here, the heavy barriers set up by the tiger guards guarding the imperial city have temporarily slowed down the galloping pace of the Ouyang family's Xuanjia cavalry army.
In fact, if you want to go all the way to the palace from the Xizhi Gate in the northwest corner of the inner city, the Xi'an Gate and Di'an Gate of the imperial city are the closest. However, to walk through Di'anmen, you need to pass through Jingshan, and to walk through Xi'an Gate, you need to pass through the houses of many royal families.
In comparison, these princes and nobles in the capital are impossible to support their own troops, and it is more feasible to pass through most of the imperial city through the Xi'an Gate, with the speed and impact of cavalry.
Therefore, after seeing that the Tiger Ben Guard blocked the road along the Imperial City Root to Xi'anmen Street, Ouyang Changkong decisively gave the order, and the Xuanjia heavy cavalry army behind him continued to charge.
