Chapter 626: Attack!

What happened next is as everyone knows...

Everything was moving in a good direction, and her son finally settled on the throne.

But how could Emperor Zhaowu, who was suppressed and despised since childhood, be willing to be a prop for her to fiddle with? After his foundation was solid, he began to tentatively resist his mother.

The mother and son had a fierce conflict. Emperor Zhaowu kept testing his mother's bottom line and became more and more arrogant. However, Empress Dowager Wenzhuang could not attack her own son, so she had to hide her glory and rest in the deep palace all year round, as if she was really ready to enjoy her life.

But she never forgot her original intention. She wanted to return the throne to her grandson, and she wanted to completely destroy the family. She would not be able to rest in peace if these two things were not done!

So in the 16th year of Zhaowu, she ordered people to cover Qin Lei's return from Qi and helped him start his political career in Qin. At that time, Qin Lei was facing extremely complicated and in a very difficult situation. If she hadn't been secretly helping her, how could she have turned into good luck and often had good luck?

Not to mention anything else, just Qin Lei's young head at the beginning, offended the Wen and Li families so much that they wanted to get rid of it. If someone hadn't wiped his butt secretly, he might have become a floating corpse on the Qingshui River before his wings were full...

It is no exaggeration to say that for a long time, Qin Lei followed the route designated by the old empress dowager for him - starting from going north to the ranch training, then heading south to Jiangbei to quell the rebellion, and then later taking over the clan mansion and building Jingshan City. If there was no such step-by-step experience, and repeated opportunities, even if Qin Lei had the posture of a celestial being and a domineering spirit, he would not have thought that he would grow into an invincible overlord in just a few years!

Qin Lei finally became strong, but she was really old...

The twilight old man no longer had the cruelty and ruthlessness of his youth, and began to like to recall the past, longing to have friends and children and grandchildren around him.

But looking around in confusion, she found that she had become a lonely man - two sons and one daughter, one was loved by her, but died in her prime, the other was betrayed and died in depression, and the other became enemies and became disgraceful, which has become history.

Most of those old friends died in the past plots and killings. Occasionally, some survived, stayed at home, enjoying their grandchildren, and never paid attention to her as the Empress Dowager who looked like a Bodhisattva and died of the heart of Rakshasa.

As for her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, she was even more shocked by her deeds, so she was afraid of her as much as she could. Even if she had to pay a visit, she was still trembling and frightened, making people feel uncomfortable all over, and it would be better not to see her!

She really felt lonely...but she also knew that this was a wrong punishment for her life. She felt that as a cruel conspirator, she should be punished like this...

Sitting in the empty hall wither, the old lady sang her favorite "Linjiangxian" softly and said:

"Three tiles and two houses are deserted and grass grows. It was once a rich country. The singing stages and dance pavilions are gentle and fragrant, heroes and beauties are there, and the lovers are longing for their love.

The palace of Changsheng is connected to the sky and the moon, but I heard the wind sounding at night. Someone sang the flower song in the backyard. The palace maids of the Tang Dynasty are old, and the country is desolate..."

At the moment when the vicissitudes of life were singing, teams of fully armed Tiance soldiers entered the city through the wide open Nanyang Gate.

The 30,000 Tiance Army quietly marched on the east and west roads of Zhongdu City. There was no obstacle along the way. Only a team of officials from Kyoto Prefecture heard the sound. Before they could figure out the situation, they became a ghost in a daze.

On the street of General, Li Hun rode on the strong green horse in military uniform. His expression was extremely firm, and his eyes were brightly reviewing the troops passing by. His hesitation in the mansion had been wiped out earlier.

This is not the credit for divination. When he calmed down, he naturally knew that the so-called prophet of the uncertainty was just a fool. If the good and bad fortune in life could be known in advance, his three sons would not die one after another.

When he finally chose the path of "snatching the palace", not only his personal life and death, but also the success or failure of the Li clan were betting on the betting table of fate.

Victory will bring prosperity to life; defeat will bring decline to death!

From now on, no one can help him. He must make independent judgments and keep his destiny firmly in his hands.

Recovering from the thoughts, Li Hun slowly turned around and looked at the Li family generals behind him: Li Long, Li Hu, Li Bao, Li Biao and others. They all looked solemnly and looked at the head of the family without saying a word.

A little further down, there were the men and servants of the Li family. They already knew what was about to happen. They quietly put on various armors and followed behind with a variety of weapons. Everyone knew that if this failure this time, what awaited them would be the disaster of extermination!

His eyes flashed across everyone's faces, and Li Hun said in a deep voice: "Life is considered a hero, and death is a hero! If you don't succeed, you'd rather die!"

When Li Long and other murderous generals heard this murderous words, they couldn't help but have a cold war. They knew very well what the old man was going to do. Whether he wanted to or not, they could only follow him. This is the fate of being the Li family.

"Set out!" Taking advantage of the moonlight in the sky, Li Hun cast his last glance into the mansion, and resolutely left. The two thousand servants of the Li family followed closely behind.

Under the night, the Li family's large army set out towards the inner city, and the road was still unstoppable and arrived smoothly in front of Luoyang Gate in the inner city.

The keys to the nine gates of the inner city have always been personally managed by the general in charge of the Kyoto Bingma Temple.

Tonight, Zhao Chengsi visited Luoyang Gate in person. He has been standing at the top of the city since the hour of You, without moving. It has been an entire hour now.

"General, three red lanterns lit up under the city." The personal soldiers exclaimed.

"Are you here?" Zhao Chengsi said softly, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Open the door!"

"General, you?" The personal soldiers beside him said in disbelief: "What are their identities?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Chengsi roar in a low voice: "I'll kill you if you ask another question! I'll take all the responsibility!"

Under his pressure, the city gate finally slowly opened. He watched Li Hun and the 30,000 Tiance troops enter the inner city with his own eyes. He ordered the city gate to be closed and isolated the inner city from the outside.

Seeing the city gate slowly closed behind him, Li Hun shouted: "There is advance and no retreat, life and no death!" There was no way out. The Li family and the Tiance army formed a heart and walked forward with a fierce look on their faces.

At this moment, the night sky with the stars that were originally starry sky suddenly became dark and dull! The five fingers were missing around, and the road ahead was also dark...

The rebels panicked. They were originally doing bad things to usurp the dynasty. Seeing this, they suddenly felt that something was wrong - could God not let us do this?

The officers and soldiers stopped and looked around, and there was a panic scene.

Yin Wuyi saw that it was not good, and shouted: "The moon was dark and the murderous night, the wind was high and the fire was setting! This is God bless us!"

Li Hun also shouted violently: "With God's blessing, we will definitely succeed!" Only then did he calm down and bring back the at a loss to the hearts of the soldiers.

Light a torch to illuminate the road ahead, and the officers and soldiers continued to move forward.

Li Hun then breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and whispered: "This is really not a good business!"

Yin Wuyi smiled and said, "We are seeking wealth and honor in danger! This has always been like this in ancient and modern times."

With a nervous mood, the team finally arrived in front of Chengtian Gate! Then they were discovered by the watchtower on the palace city.

Seeing the team that could not see the end at a glance, the sentry on the tower was scattered and quickly rang the alarm bell!

‘Dangdang…’ The bell rang out throughout the night sky, and the guards in Chengtian Gate quickly supported the palace gate with nine wooden beams. The big inner guards patrolling everywhere also rushed towards the wall like a tide.

The Imperial Guard, which was a little further away, also heard the alarm bell. In the battle last year, the Imperial Guard suffered heavy losses, leaving only 10,000 imperial guards led by Xue Naijun and another captain. Emperor Tianyou appointed Xue Captain to serve as the general manager of the military camp, commanding the only 10,000 remaining people.

As soon as Xue Naijun heard the elf, he gathered the team urgently and rushed towards Chengtian Gate in a hurry.

All this happened within half a quarter of an hour, and the army had just arrived at the palace gate and didn't even push up the rushing car to hit the door... The palace's defense is indeed well-deserved!

Seeing that the moment the map was revealed, Li Hu quickly ordered Li Long and Li Hu to organize soldiers to break through the city gate, and then let Li Bao and Li Biao lead 10,000 people to block the reinforcements of the Imperial Army.

Li Bao and Li Biao had just led their troops to leave the formation and met Xue Naijun's vanguard.

Everyone was holding bright weapons, one by one, with fierce and murderous intent, and knew what they were here for without introducing themselves. They killed each other without saying a word. Because the incident happened suddenly, the Imperial Guard had no time to complete the team, and the vanguard had already fought with the Tiance Army, but there were still troops in the barracks rushing out one after another.

With the lack of preparation and the majority of the enemy, Xue Naiying and others were at a disadvantage as soon as they came up. But he was not afraid and led the crowd to fight against the rebels to the death. He was still shouting "kill the thief" after being hit by several injuries.

Inspired by the lieutenant, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard became more and more brave. The team behind also accelerated and finally stabilized their positions...

On the other side of the battlefield, the siege troops also encountered trouble. They underestimated the strength of the palace gate. The siege vehicles used to hit ordinary city gates could not shake the root of the palace gate. Instead, the siege troops were killed by large pieces of arrows and stones like locusts on the city wall, and suffered heavy losses.

"Use fire attack, idiot! Burn this gate!" Seeing that the attack ahead was blocked, Yin Wuyi took the risk to run to the city and screamed: "Isn't you going to have a picnic with firewood and vegetable oil!"

The soldiers quickly pushed trucks of firewood over and piled them in front of the city gate; then threw cans of rapeseed oil onto the pile of firewood, threw a torch over, and the fire blew up and started to burn.

The big inner guard who was holding his back inside suddenly felt the heat wave soaring into the sky. He naturally understood the activities outside. His face turned pale and he was at a loss.

Taking advantage of the fire, Yin Wuyi made people use rushing wood to hit the palace gate continuously. Finally, a quarter of an hour later, the gate swayed violently, and then it finally collapsed with a "boom".

The overjoyed Tian Cejun screamed, but then he was stunned again.

It turned out that the fire became increasingly fierce and blocked the rebels' way.

The big inner guard inside also discovered this problem and quickly transported the turbid oil used to guard the city from the top of the city and threw it into the fire, making the fire burn more and more intense. It turned the city gate into a sea of ​​fire, and even with wings, it could not fly over...

Seeing that he had lifted a stone and hit his feet, the rebel officers and soldiers looked at Mr. Yin who was paying attention. But Yin Wuyi could not come up with any good methods. He could only ask someone to take soil from the edge of the road to put out the fire, waiting to put out the fire before passing through.

Just as the rebels lit the fire and put out the fire, the 30,000 reinforcements who rushed from Jingshan City also arrived at Shilipu in the south of the city.

Shen Qing was about to lead his army through here, but he saw torches suddenly lit up on the earth slope ahead. Then the fire became more and more, and it actually formed a fire dragon that stretched for several miles, completely blocking the Jingshan Army's way.

"Which part?" Shen Qing ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle, and sent someone to come forward and ask.

The opposite side did not hide it, and a loud soldier shouted: "The second army of Polu Yingyang was ordered to block this place. Please come back with the brothers on the other side."

"No, our Jingshan Army is ordered by the Grand Marshal to come to Beijing to rescue the emperor. You should get out of here quickly!" Shen Qing shouted.

"But Grandmaster has an order, we have to abide by it." The other party said in a stern manner.

The two sides said for a while and were useless, and gradually became angry, "Do you let me do it? Don't let me kill you!" "Whoever kills who is not sure!" The scoldings came one after another, and they were about to fight.

At this time, a cannon sounded from the east, and a team of black-armored and black horse cavalry rushed out of the slant and blocked the center of the two armies.

First, a knight held a flag about a meter high in his hands, and suddenly shook his eyes in the night sky. More than a dozen torches surrounded him, illuminating the flag in vain.

That is Qin Lei’s Black Tiger Battle Flag!
