Gao Dahe led hundreds of people to rush in from Zuoyemen. As a result, Gao Bufan's men exceeded the number of thousands of people. His momentum grew stronger, and soon they captured Duanmen, Youyemen, Lijingmen, and Xuanmen one after another.

Federal Gate and Binyao Gate basically control the south side of the Imperial City. As long as they capture the Xuanwu Gate on the north side of the Imperial City, they can completely control the entire Imperial City.

So Gao Bufan personally led a hundred men and rushed straight to the Xuanwu Gate without stopping. Fortunately, he came a step early. He had just captured the Xuanwu Gate and before it had time to close it, the Imperial Guards of the Zuo Imperial Guard stationed in Yaoyi City in the north of the imperial city came over.

Usually the killing comes.

Gao Dahe and his men worked hard to close the Xuanwu Gate, and a dense rain of arrows hit the thick palace gate without stopping, making a series of muffled noises. Even Gao Bufan secretly sweated, what a fluke!

It is said that guarding the north of the imperial city are Yaoyi City and Yuanbi City, which are connected by portals. Moreover, Yaoyi City and Yuanbi City each have a forbidden army stationed in them, namely the Left Imperial Guard and the Right Imperial Guard, with a total strength of five thousand.

public, although

Although they are not direct descendants of Wang Shichong, they are all led by children of the Wang family. If these two forbidden armies were to break into the imperial city, Gao Bufan's small number of men would obviously not be able to withstand them. It was lucky that he arrived in time, otherwise his success would really fall short.

The imperial army currently attacking Xuanwu Gate is the Zuoyuwei stationed in Yaoyi City, and the general responsible for commanding the Zuoyuwei is Wang Shiwei, who is also one of Wang Shichong's brothers.

Let's talk about Wang Shiwei, who was also celebrating the New Year at home tonight. When the Tang army began to attack Dingding Gate in the south of the city, he hurried back to Yaoyi City to be on guard against the Tang army dividing its forces to attack the north of the city. As a result, something happened first in the palace, and someone loyal to the Wang family

The palace guard escaped and told him that his clan brother, Neishiling Wang Shiyun, had been killed by Qi King Gao Changqing.

Wang Shiwei was shocked when he heard this and was doubtful. Fearing that he would fall into the trap of diverting the tiger away, he sent his followers to Xuanwu Gate to verify. Because of this, it was delayed for a while. When Wang Shiwei led the left imperial guard and hurriedly arrived, Gao Bufan had already seized the throne.

When he got off the Xuanwu Gate, he could only watch helplessly as the Xuanwu Gate was closed. He was so angry that he immediately ordered a strong attack.

Xuanwu Gate is the only entrance into the imperial palace from Yaoyi City. It was probably built very strongly for safety reasons. The palace walls are also high and thick, and there are also equipment used to defend the city on top of the city. If you want to enter from the outside,

It is extremely difficult to attack from the inside, so Zuo Yuwei attacked for half a stick of incense, with little effect, and many people were killed and injured.

Just when Wang Shiwei was at his wits' end, seven or eight objects were suddenly thrown from the wall and rolled everywhere. It turned out that they were all bloody human heads. When Wang Shiwei looked through the firelight, he immediately took a breath of air. It turned out that these heads were all from the Wang family.

One of them is Wang Shiyun, the internal historian, and there are also the generals Wang Wan, Wang Wei, etc.

Wang Shiwei's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy. At this time, a person appeared on the high wall of Xuanwu Gate. Under the light of the torch, he saw that this person was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and he held a long hand.

The sword stood on the top of the wall, holding it with a majestic look, like a god of war looking down on all living beings. Zuo Yiwei outside the Xuanwu Gate stopped subconsciously, looked up at the top of the wall, and secretly guessed the identity of this person.

Gao Bufan stood on the female wall at the top of the city, standing with his sword horizontally, his eyes sweeping across like lightning, and he said loudly: "The soldiers of the Zuo Imperial Guard, I am Gao Changqing, the king of Qi. Wang Shichong imprisoned the emperor, eradicated dissidents, and exercised arbitrary power.

, causing trouble in the harem, I, the emperor, ordered me to kill this traitor. Now I am clawing

King Ya Wang Shiyun, Wang Wan, Wang Hua and others have already been executed. Do you still want to follow the Wang family to help Zhou? Your Majesty is kind and only punishes the first culprits. As long as you put away your weapons and return to your bases, you can forget the blame. If you can kill them,

A member of the Wang family will be rewarded heavily by the emperor!"

The soldiers of the left imperial guard couldn't help but look at each other. Wang Shiwei's eyes were full of hatred and he sneered: "Gao Changqing, you are so bold. You dare to sneak into the palace to plot evil, and you also make lies to deceive the public. I'm afraid that the emperor has already been poisoned by you. Everyone.

Don't listen to him, shoot him to death!"

collapse……

As soon as Wang Shiwei finished speaking, someone shot an arrow from the top of the city, hitting the former's left shoulder. Wang Shiwei screamed and fell to the ground, and the soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to protect him tightly.

Gao Buhe couldn't help but secretly cried out that it was a pity, and looked at Gao Bufan awkwardly. It turned out that he was the one who shot the arrow just now. Unfortunately, the wind on the city was too strong, and he, who was originally quite good at archery, missed the target.

Gao Bufan was also speechless. He and Gao Dahe originally agreed that he would jump on the wall to attract Wang Shiwei's attention. Then Gao Dahe took the opportunity to identify Wang Shiwei's location and then shot him with an arrow. Unfortunately, Gao Dahe died at the critical moment.

If the chain is broken, you will be in trouble.

Sure enough, Wang Shiwei, who was shot and injured, became alert and hid behind and never showed his face again. He could only be heard shouting filial piety in an angry voice: "Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow, shoot Gao Changqing to death. Whoever dares not to shoot the arrow, I will kill his whole family."

!Kill his whole family!”

The archers of the Zuoyuwei all shot out their sharp arrows with awe, and instantly the arrows were like locusts, falling towards the top of the Xuanwu Gate. Gao Bufan had no choice but to jump off the wall, no matter how powerful he was in martial arts, he would not be able to survive under the attack of thousands of arrows.

Just a piece of meat.

Wang Shiwei had obviously fallen into a state of madness and kept urging his soldiers to attack Xuanwu Gate. Anyone who retreated would be shot mercilessly by his orders immediately. The left guard soldiers were frightened and had no choice but to rush forward. Soon,

, outside Xuanwu Gate there were corpses strewn on the ground, and blood flowed into rivers.

However, such an intense attack made the defenders on the city uncomfortable. People continued to be killed and injured, and the palace gates also banged loudly. Dust fell down, as if they were about to fall apart. If this continued, they would not be able to hold on for long.

.

The key is that most of Gao Bufan's men are palace guards who have just defected and defected. Loyalty is very problematic. Although there is no problem in fighting a smooth battle, once they are under pressure, they may defect again.

Therefore, the current situation has become dangerous in vain. Gao Bufan's thoughts are racing, but he is at his wits' end. Suddenly, he sees a firelight in the direction of Jiayu Gate in the west, and the shouts of killing are loud. It is obvious that another "surprise force" of the Tang Army has launched

It was a sneak attack, but unfortunately without the cooperation of the internal response, the Tang army's surprise force naturally lost its original effect.

Gao Bufan had an idea and pretended to laugh excitedly: "My fellow soldiers, my king's foreign aid has arrived. We will soon be able to capture Jiayu Gate and rush in. If everyone just holds on for a moment, victory will be in sight."

The palace guards perked up after hearing this, and saw that there were indeed killing sounds coming from the direction of Jiayu Gate. They immediately believed it, and their morale immediately rose. They launched a counterattack to repel the left guard outside the gate.

Gao Dahe was clever for a moment, and immediately shouted happily: "Brothers, our reinforcements are here, kill them!"

"Reinforcements are coming, kill them! Kill them!"

"Reinforcements are coming, kill them! Kill them!"

Everyone's morale was high, and they were shouting and fighting back, but the soldiers of the Zuo Imperial Guard outside the door were pounding in their hearts. There was no other way, Jiayu Gate was not far from here, and the shouts of killing over there were shaking. It was obvious that the battle was very fierce.

I don't know how many enemy troops came outside the city.

Wang Shiwei also became uneasy at this time. He was probably worried that Jiayu Gate would be breached, so he hurriedly assigned half of his troops to support Jiayu Gate. In this way, the pressure on Gao Bufan and others was greatly reduced.

Hey, if Qu Tutong knew about this situation, he would probably greet Gao's eighteenth generation ancestors.

Qu Tutong thought that as long as he launched an attack, the internal forces arranged by Zhang Sun Shunde would respond to him. However, after fighting for a long time, not even a hair responded. Many of his brothers were killed and injured. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on.

Yes, I hope the spy was just delayed and will be here soon!

As a result, Qu Tutong did not wait for an internal response, but the defenders of Jiayumen waited for more than a thousand reinforcements. Their strength was greatly increased. Qu Tutong and the three thousand Tang troops had no hope of breaking through.

However, Qu Tutong is a very courageous person... Well, to put it nicely, he is courageous, but to put it harshly, he is stubborn, he is unwilling to give up when he is sure, and he will not look back until he hits the wall. If it were different.

It was other Tang generals who had probably retreated decisively at this time, but Qu Tutong did not want to. He carried them on, and became so red-eyed that he even took off his armor that was in the way, bare-chested and wielding a sword.

It has to be said that what kind of general there is, what kind of soldiers he brings out. Qu Tutong is extremely brave, and the soldiers under his command are also brave and fearless of death. Especially when they see the general climbing the city wall naked, those Tang soldiers

The soldiers were all so excited that they sang war songs and rushed to the top of the city crazily. Some even cut down a big tree trunk and used it as a battering ram, slamming into the city gate as hard as they could.

The defenders in the city all felt numb when they saw this. Oh my God, this is a terrifying team that jumped out of nowhere. It is simply not human beings, but a group of wild beasts.

Qu Tutong led him down from the city wall no less than ten times. He was covered in blood. However, this guy was very strong. He got up and continued to climb up with a knife in his mouth. Finally, he climbed to the top of the wall. A defender hurriedly shot him down.

.

Qu Tutong bared his teeth and grinned ferociously. He actually reached out and grabbed the spear, and with a sudden force, he used the momentum to climb up the city. The defender was pulled off the city by him and fell down, letting out a soul-stirring scream.

.

"Haha, you, Grandpa Qu, I'm coming up, you die, you pigs!" Qu Tutong laughed loudly and slashed with his sword. The Tang troops below the city were greatly encouraged when they saw this, and one after another successfully climbed to the top of the city.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After all, Qu Tutong was unable to defeat four people with his two fists. After killing several people, he was still forced to roll down the city by more than a dozen spears fired at the same time. This time, he obviously fell hard. In the end, he was beaten by several people.

The soldiers carried him and quickly evacuated him. He probably suffered fractures or even death.
