Chapter 803: Resolutely abandon the defensive line
The battle of Shunzhenmen, after the first soldier of Ouyang's private army ascended the tower from the long ladder.
There were few members of the Yulin Guards on the Shunzhen Gate, although their individual strength was much stronger than the soldiers of Ouyang's private army, but they couldn't stand their excessive physical consumption and the soldiers of Ouyang's private army bit elephants to death. It didn't take long for the Shunzhen Gate, which was usually closed in the past days, to be opened by the soldiers of Ouyang's private army from the south, and Ouyang Changkong rushed in with elite soldiers and horses.
Within the Shenwu Gate, the Shunzhen Gate can already be said to be the last line of defense, after all, the Chengguang Gate closer to the Shunzhen Gate is a double door, on the top of the glazed gatehouse of the palace, left and right through the corner glazed top low wall and Jifu Gate, Yanhe Gate are connected, and the decoration is stronger than the defense.
The defenders above only put up a slight resistance before they were killed, discarded their armor, and fled the door. It's not that the Yulin guards are not brave enough to fight and not loyal enough to the emperor, but the geographical advantage they defend is not too dominant, but the anti-thieves are outnumbered, and the difference in individual strength is not outrageous, and the sea of people is enough to erase this gap in individual strength.
In the absence of reinforcements to support in time, the Yulin guards could only abandon the door and retreat strategically.
The Yulin guards are professional soldiers, and they are also third-rate masters in the rivers and lakes, and it is also a shame for them to retreat like this. However, these Yulin guards did not retreat blindly, but quickly passed through the Chengguang Gate, passed through the Imperial Garden, and entered the Kunning Palace area in the northernmost part of the Three Palaces after the Inner Court from the Kunning Gate.
The area in the Imperial Garden is small and the structure is complex, leaving a part of the Yulin Guards for guerrilla harassment, and the remaining defenders of the Shunzhen Gate, Chengguang Gate, Jifu Gate, and Yanhe Gate who retreated into the Kunning Gate quickly established a defensive line behind the Kunning Gate. The Tiger Benwei hoplites were also specially dispatched thousands of people into the palace area to assist the Yulin guards in arranging defenses in the Kunning Gate and Kunning Palace area.
It can be said that it was some of the generals of the Yulin Praetorian Guard who decisively abandoned the wall gate in front of them, which was not easy to defend, and quickly retreated into the inner court, which was easier to arrange, so that Ouyang's private army suffered a heavy blow when they attacked the inner court.
But that's all for later.
Of course, whether it was the Yulin Guards or Ouyang's private army, they didn't know that the battle between them had long been seen by a peerless master who stood by and watched and didn't help each other.
In fact, Wang Changming went to Shenwumen early. After all, he is a genuine god-level master, and as soon as his body is unfolded, he is like a flashing light, and he will naturally not be discovered by others between actions. Before Ouyang Fenglan tried to lead people to attack the Shenwu Gate, Wang Changming was already sitting on the top of the heavy eaves hall covered with golden glazed tiles of the Shenwu Gate, taking in the battle below.
And he naturally noticed Ouyang Fenglan, who was like a Yama who had slaughtered countless lives and no one could stop him for a moment, and he sensed that that guy's strength was infinitely close to the God's barrier. Combined with his understanding of the masters in the capital, Wang Changming naturally guessed that that guy was Ouyang Fenglan, who was known as the first person of the young generation in the capital.
Knowing Ouyang Fenglan, Wang Changming naturally knew some grievances and hatreds between his nephew Wang Yuelong and this Ouyang Fenglan, and his heart moved, he actually had an impulse to get rid of Ouyang Fenglan directly, but then Wang Changming suppressed that impulse, and continued to sit on the roof of the Shenwu Gate City, watching the battle inside and outside the Shenwu Gate.
