Chapter 318 The general stops!
As noon approached, the sound of fighting at Xuanwu Gate finally disappeared.
But on June 4, the 9th year of Wude, the bleeding was far from enough.
Chang Hezhu stood on the city tower, looking at the dense corpses up and down the city wall, and still feeling scared when he remembered the battle process just now.
As the city gate of Xuanwu Gate, Chang He was on duty with the general Jing Junhong and the general Lu Shiheng of the Central Army, and they all secretly joined the Qin King Party, but now he is the only one left.
Originally, after they learned that the prince and the king of Qi were killed, they thought that the matter would be over today. However, no one expected that the guards of the Eastern Palace and the King of Qi would be so loyal to the prince and the king of Qi, but the lord was dead but would still fight so hard.
He remembered it very clearly that Xue Wanche, the deputy guard of the Eastern Palace, and his brother defeated Dou Jiande's 200,000 army with Yanyun's hundred cavalry, and was known as a world-famous general.
But what's funny is that Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng felt that their contributions were not great enough, so they didn't listen to his dissuasion and took the initiative to go out of the city to fight. As a result, the two fools added together, did not let Xue Wanche use the third sword...
So, he is still smart and pays attention to protecting himself from the beginning. He never does anything to die.
After all, wealth and prosperity are both prosperous and virtuous, and you must be successful with your life...
Chang He was sighing when he suddenly heard a girl with a slightly arrogant tone downstairs shouting: "Open the door, I want to go out!"
Chang He was slightly stunned and hurriedly walked down the city wall. He looked at the woman riding on a horse carefully. He saw her pretty face as white as jade, her eyebrows as distant mountains, her eyes as vaguely as paint, her pink lips, and her figure was graceful, pleasing to the eye. Looking at her outfit, she was dressed in a third-grade or above inner-life lady's palace outfit, at least she was a concubine...
Li Yao did not allow Chang He to continue to look at him lustfully, glanced at him, judged the other party's official rank from the style of the public armor, and asked directly: "Are you a city gate Lang Changhe?"
Chang He was alert and asked back: "Who are you?"
Li Yao said word by word: "I am Li Mingzhen."
Chang He said in a voice: "Princess Mingzhao!"
Li Yao said arrogantly: "That's right, it's the deity. You can open the door and let it go."
Chang He heard about what happened between the King of Qin and Princess Mingzhao. He claimed to be smart and immediately shouted: "Come on, take her down!"
"It seems that you are indeed Chang He."
Li Yao's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent, and he suddenly squeezed his horse's belly and rushed straight towards Chang He.
Chang He Qu Ran was startled and immediately stretched his right hand to the sword around his waist.
But the moment he held the hilt tightly and was about to draw the knife, Li Yao suddenly jumped up from the horse's back.
With a "clang" sound, the long knife was unsheathed.
But the next moment, the knife fell to the ground.
Because Li Yao hit Chang He's throat with a hand knife, smashing his throat and neck bones to pieces.
Chang Heda opened his mouth and fell down on his back, his body still twitching.
The soldiers did not step forward, but just looked at the corpse from a distance, and their expressions were actually very calm. Li Yao asked curiously: "I killed him, don't you want to take revenge?"
A soldier in Suwei Camp with broken armor glanced at Chang He's body with contempt and clasped his fists to Li Yao and said, "Chang He likes money as his life, often exploits his troops. Your lord will remove any harm for us. Not only do we have no reason to avenge him, we should also sincerely thank your lord for it."
After saying that, he found the key from Chang He's body, called two soldiers, and the three of them worked together to open the city gate for Li Yao...
...
...
The war horses neighed, and the swords and weapons were ringing.
The cavalry of the Qin Palace launched a charge again and again towards the Changlin Army led by Feng Li, the general of Yiwei Lang, but they were unable to make a breakthrough when they encountered an extremely tenacious blockade by the other party.
Except for the Qin Princess Changsun, who was sent by Li Shimin to the palace to appease the emperor's concubines, all Li Shimin's children and other concubines were still in Hongyi Palace. If they were killed in the fierce East Palace and the guards of the Qi Palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Li Shimin was shocked and had to lead his troops to pursue him, but he did not expect that most of the guards of the Eastern Palace suddenly turned back. The two sides bumped into each other and started fighting immediately.
The number of people in the East Palace was obviously superior, and the individual combat power was not much weaker than the warriors in the Qin Palace. As a result, after the fight, Li Shimin's troops were always at a disadvantage.
Only Zhang Gongjin took advantage of the time when the enemy had no time to pay attention, and went to Fanglin Gate to inform Gao Shilian, Qu Tutong and Duan Zhixuan and the other armed prisoners to support Hongyi Palace.
But Li Shimin knew very well that in the face of Xue Wanche and Xie Shufang's troops, the little combat power in Gao Shilian's hands could only be a drop in the bucket. Unless a miracle happens, he will inevitably pay an unimaginable price for himself ascending the throne.
In his opinion, this miracle was undoubtedly Li Yuan's instruction...
...
...
Outside Hongyi Palace, there were shouting and killing, and corpses were everywhere.
The prisoner team led by Gao Shilian, Qu Tutong and Duan Zhixuan were defeated by Xue Wanche and Xie Shufang. Then, under the leadership of Zhang Gongjin, Gao Shilian and others led the remnants to retreat into Hongyi Palace. The guards of the Eastern Palace and the Qi Palace rushed to chase after him. The eunuchs left behind in the Qin Palace took their weapons and fought to the death. After nearly half of the casualties, they finally saved the palace gate.
However, the wall of Hongyi Palace was less than half of the imperial palace, only 16 feet high. Xue Wanche and Xie Shufang were both veterans in attacking the city. Seeing this, they immediately ordered the soldiers to cut down nearby trees on the spot, then tied them into rows of rafts, and then put them heavily on the palace wall, and led their troops to attack again.
So, when Li Yao took a small path and arrived under the Hongyi Palace wall, the Changlin army, who were like wolves and tigers, and the guards of the King of Qi's Mansion had already entered the King of Qin's Mansion.
"Kill! Kill me!"
"Avenge the prince, kill all the chickens and dogs without leaving any money!"
Xue Wanche shouted and rushed forward, dancing the two hundred-sharp steel swords in his hand to the wheels. Many people who could not escape died tragically under his knife one after another.
Taking advantage of the chaos everywhere, Li Yao quietly sneaked into the depths of Hongyi Palace with a small bag, avoiding the people on both sides of the war, and came all the way to Cuihua Palace, which was filled with Qin Wang's family, then pointed at the ground with his pointer and jumped to the top of the palace.
Then... she took out a chicken leg from her bag, feasted on her, and watched it on the wall.
After a while, clanging, screaming, and angrily shouts finally reached the vicinity of Cuihua Palace. Then the gate of the hall suddenly opened. Two women in full dress rushed out with weapons. Li Yao recognized them as Wei Gui, the prince of the King of Qin, and Yan, a concubine from the general. He raised his eyes and looked at the battle. He saw Gao Shilian being surrounded by several people and fled to Cuihua Palace. Not far behind him, Duan Zhixuan and Xue Wanche, who looked like blood, retreated and stepped forward, slashed each other, and sparks flew everywhere. However, there was no sign of Zhang Gongjin and Qu Tutong.
