Chapter 41 Li Yuanji, you evil son, want to kill me

Outside the Linhu Palace, Li Anyan, wearing armor, led a team of left-level guards to patrol the palace. While walking, Li Anyan suddenly raised his hand, and the guards of the prison guards immediately stopped and held their breath to calm down.

Ang Lee possessed himself on the ground, listening to the movements of the ground with his ears. A faint tremor came from the ground, and the rhythmic footsteps came faintly.

Li Anyan's face changed slightly. He hurriedly took off his armor in a few seconds, got up and jumped towards the fence of Linhu Hall. With the help of the fence, Li Anyan turned over and jumped towards the roof of Linhu Hall, standing on the roof, and Li Anyan looked in the direction of the sound of footsteps.

I saw a large group of warriors in black armor entering one after another along the Xuanwu Gate.

Li Anyan hurriedly jumped out of the hall and landed steadily among the guards of the prison guards. Li Anyan was wearing armor and looked at the guards around him and said, "Xiao Nuoyan, go to Xiande Hall quickly and report to Your Majesty that someone is treason, let Your Majesty prepare early!"

Xiao Nuoyan was stunned and looked at Li Anyan in confusion and said, "General, what about you?"

Li Anyan said in a deep voice: "I will lead my brothers to the Ganlu Palace first, so as not to let the rebels go in, so as to prevent them from hijacking the Supreme Emperor. Go quickly!"

Xiao Nuoyan ran away without saying a word.

Li Anyan led the soldiers in another direction.

...

Li Jiancheng, Li Jing and Chen Ying were on the sand table in the imperial study and continued to deduce the military exercises of attacking the Eastern Turks. At this time, Chen Ying transformed into the Turks and fought fiercely with the Tang army represented by Li Jing and Li Jiancheng.

Chen Ying held the green inverted triangle flag representing the Fuli Army and looked at Li Jing with a smile: "With the elite of Fuli Army and the good armor, and ordinary Tang army soldiers, under the same number of people, they are not their opponents!"

Li Jing nodded and said, "My ordinary Tang Dynasty military soldiers are just a little more refined than those of the Eastern Turkic string control men, but they are limited!"

Chen Ying said: "According to the information brought by Asunasmo, the attached army is responsible for the security and defense work within fifteen miles of Jie Li Khan. At that time, the assault troops..."

As soon as he said this, an eunuch broke into the imperial study with a panic expression and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, something is not good!"

Li Jiancheng stood up and said, "What's going on?"

After a while, Wei Ting, Li Xiuning, and Li Xiaogong, who disguised himself as an ordinary coachman, came together.

Chen Ying also asked in surprise: "Sanniang, why are you here?"

Li Xiuning waved his hand and pointed at the Hejian King Li Xiaogong behind him and said, "Tonight, Kang Bo from the Hejian King's Mansion will go to find me..."

Li Xiaogong said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Li Xiao often said that they took action today!"

Li Jiancheng laughed and said, "Li Xiaochang, dare he take action?"

Li Jing said: "It is very likely that Changsun Anye is on duty tonight. After today, he will have to wait until next month.

Li Jiancheng said: "Come!"

A guard stepped forward to salute.

Li Jiancheng said: "Transfer my oral order to go to the Duke of Wu's Mansion and order Yuchi Jingde to enter the palace immediately to protect the Supreme Emperor. He sent the Duke of Yi, Qin Shubao, and asked him to lead his troops to lead the martial law Ganlu Hall."

Li Jing said in confusion: "Your Majesty, Li Xiaochang really wants to rebel?"

Chen Ying snorted: "Li Xiaochang is probably just a small chess piece in front!"

Li Jiancheng said coldly: "This scene... is so petty."

The lights are brightly lit in the Duke of Wu.

While wearing armor, Yuchi Jingde looked at Xiao Nuoyan and said, "Is Xuanwu Gate guarded by that boy Changsun Anye?"

Xiao Nuoyan said: "Yes, Li Xiaochang was put into the palace by him."

Yuchi Jingde hung the quiver on his waist, feeling a little less, so he picked another kettle of arrows, and then he said angrily: "His grandma, why did Changsun family have such a fool? At that time, I thought Changsun Wuji was a little helpless, but I didn't expect that Chang'an was a professional person, and Changsun Anye was more stupid than the other one!"

Xiao Nuoyan smiled awkwardly and said, "Duke Wu, where are we going now?"

Yuchi Jingde said: "Go to Ganlu Palace."

Xiao Nuoyan said: "Yuan Hongren has led a large group of imperial guards to siege Xiande Hall!"

Yuchi Jingde picked up the long spear and said with disdain: "Yuan Hongren, who is a useless person, can't even attack him even if he gives him 20,000 people. Let's save the Supreme Emperor first."

Yuchi Jingde turned over and walked away with more than a dozen generals.

Xiao Nuoyan only followed him.

Outside Xiande Hall of Tai Chi Palace, Yuan Hongren commanded a large number of soldiers from the Guanzhong clans, and more than 8,000 people arrived outside the gate of Xiande Hall.

With Yuan Hongren's order, several teams of soldiers divided their troops to block the palace gates outside the hall.

The archers, gunmen, and swords and shields among the rebel soldiers immediately opened up the formation.

Seeing that the team had already set up its formation, Yuan Hongren rode his horse to the gate of Xiande Hall.

Two imperial guards stepped forward and called the door.

At this moment, there were torches on the wall of Xiande Palace, which was originally dimly lit, and the two rebel soldiers who had originally planned to call the door were at a loss by this scene.

Wei Ting shouted loudly: "During the middle of the night, who is making noise outside?"

Yuan Hongren said in a sinister way: "Open the door quickly, there will be a remnant of the deposed King of Qin. He will sneak into the Xiande Hall and be assassinated by Your Majesty."

Wei Ting sneered: "Your Majesty's bedroom is guarded by his own guards. If there are assassins, they will definitely be discovered and captured."

Yuan Hongren stepped forward, looked at the four eight-ox crossbow chariots beside him, and said with a smug look: "There are many assassinations, and the heavy crossbows and guards of the bedroom are probably not the opponent."

Wei Ting said proudly: "The left guard of a certain East Palace leads his Majesty to protect the safety of His Majesty. It is a matter of no need for you to worry about it. You will disperse immediately!"

The imperial soldiers could only look at Yuan Hongren.

Yuan Hongren smiled and said, "I am Yuan Hongshan. I learned that there were remnants of the deposed King of Qin. I pretended to be an eunuch, a palace maid, and an imperial guard had already found several corpses of eunuch and palace maid in the streets and alleys of eunuch, probably assassins. After killing them, I posed as an assassin and smuggled into the Eastern Palace. Ensuring Your Majesty's safety is the top priority of the Imperial Guard. As long as the last general meets Your Majesty, he will return to the military camp immediately."

Li Jiancheng was in the enemy building and heard clearly that he was eager to go out.

Chen Ying saw the Eight-Nuo Crossbow in the rebel army at a glance. To be honest, this is also his masterpiece. In ancient times, Chinese bed crossbows had no wheels and usually required people to carry and move. It was not only inconvenient, but also bulky. After Chen Ying's four-wheeled carriage was made, he transplanted and grafted to transplant all the catapults and eight-Nuo Crossbows onto the four-wheeled carriage.

In this way, the two horses could run around with the Eight-Nuo Crossbow and the catapult, and the transfer speed was not slow.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying in confusion and said, "Chen Qing, why?"

Li Jiancheng didn't know that the Baniu Crossbow had another battlefield nicknamed "Widow Maker". The most famous example of the battle occurred when the Liao Kingdom invaded during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. At this time, the vanguard of the Liao army, Xiao Dalin (Talang), who was known for his bravery, was afraid that the Song army's morale would be high, so he immediately led thousands of cavalry to rush to the city, trying to take the initiative to take the lead and take down the North City.

While organizing a fierce attack, he immediately observed the weaknesses of the Song army on the high slope. The Song army was as strong as rainbows and arrows were as rain. The Liao army gradually scattered, and continued to send orders to attack fiercely, and commanded the three-sided siege form, gradually taking the initiative. However, in this way, the horses around him flew around him, exposing his command position.

Xiao Dalin's position was beyond the range of the bow and arrow, and there were shield soldiers facing the Song army, and he thought it was very safe. As a result, the Song army fired dozens of crossbows at the same time, and Xiao Dalin, who was on the high slope, became the target of concentrated shooting. The first arrow hit the war horse that Talan was directly hit. He then got arrows in the ribs and threw arrows to the ground. In a blink of an eye, another arrow penetrated through one side of his eyes and could not hold on to the ground. He died in the camp that night, and was hit by six arrows when he died. The Song army took advantage of the situation to open the city to attack, but Xiao's subordinates did not obey the general's order.

He dared to retreat, most of them died in battle. Because Xiao Dalin was a military genius in the Liao army who was as famous as Yelu Xiezhen, the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom, and was famous for his bravery (at that time, he was the king of the Southern Court, and was Xiao Feng's position in Jin Yong's "The Dragon and Ba Du"). His death shocked the Liao army. "The Empress Dowager was in the carriage, crying and stopping for five days." Morale was a downturn, and she was afraid of the ability of the Song army to defend the city. From then on, the Liao army did not conduct an effective attack on Chanzhou. This war ended with the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance between the two sides.

Chen Ying saw the existence of the Eight-Nuo Crossbow. This thing is too powerful and is still very lethal beyond eight hundred steps. The rammed earth city wall can shoot more than one foot, and no matter how heavy the shield is, it cannot be prevented. At this time, there were four Eight-Nuo Crossbow crossbow chariots in the rebels, with one or two six-foot-long crossbow guns aimed at the enemy tower. At this time, if Li Jiancheng went out, he would definitely be beheaded.

But Li Jiancheng insisted on going up, and Chen Ying had no choice.

However, Chen Ying winked at the surrounding imperial soldiers.

Although the Baniu Crossbow is powerful, its firing rate is far less than that of bullets. The powerful crossbow used by infantry has a flight speed of about one-third of the speed of sound. The bed crossbow is faster than the strong crossbow, but it will definitely not exceed the speed of sound. As long as a few quick-eyed and fast-witted imperial soldiers protect Li Jiancheng, they still have the chance to rescue Li Jiancheng from the enemy Baniu Crossbow.

Li Jiancheng looked at Yuan Hongren and shouted: "Yuan Hongren!"

After Yuan Hongren confirmed that Li Jiancheng appeared, he raised his hand and fell heavily.

As Yuan Hongren's hand fell, four strong rebel soldiers, holding wooden hammers, smashed heavily on the machine bracket. With the loud bang, twelve eight-ox crossbows and six-foot crossbow guns shot out quickly.

Chen Ying grabbed Li Jiancheng's back and pulled it back. Li Jiancheng suddenly became unprepared and fell to the ground with his back.

At the same time, the three imperial guards were pressing on Li Jiancheng like stacked arhats.

At this moment, the six-foot crossbow gun of the bed crossbow also flew to the female wall.

"Bang bang bang..." The bricks and stones on the female wall were hit by a sharp crossbow gun, causing brick chips to fly, and sparks were shot everywhere.

Li Xiuning looked at this scene, bent her bow and arrow, and shot Yuan Hongren angrily.

Yuan Hongren was unaware of the situation and was shot into the throat with an arrow and was immediately dismissed.

At the same time, the gate of Xiande Hall opened with a bang.

Li Xiuning rushed out the door first. While charging, Li Xiuning shouted: "I am Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning, whoever blocks me will die!"

Chen Ying was worried about Li Xiuning's safety, so he hurriedly led his personal guards out of the palace gate.

Chen Ying shouted: "Kill!"

Losing Yuan Hongren as the leader, the rebels immediately became in chaos.

Li Jiancheng was also knocked to death at this time and slowly came to his senses. He shouted at the rebels: "I am here, the evil one has been eliminated, and you will not kill those who surrender!"

Li Xiuning and Chen Yingze hurriedly attacked the hesitant rebel generals, killing them to retreat step by step and be in a mess.

The imperial guards shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, and the main evil has been eliminated. Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The soldiers of the imperial guards also shouted in unison: "The evil has been eliminated, and the accomplices will not be killed!"

The leaderless rebel soldiers collapsed in all directions, and a large number of soldiers knelt on the ground to surrender.

...

Outside the Ganlu Palace, a follower lit a torch and handed it to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji raised the torch and shook it twice.

The accompanying soldiers quickly formed the formation.

Li Yuanji waved the torch again.
