"Your Majesty, urgent report from Ximen, the Song army has captured the city and is... robbing the city gate——"
Knowing that the Song army was going to attack the city today, the civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom gathered in Longde Palace early in the morning.
Either they simply want to guard the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, or they feel that only by being with His Majesty the Emperor can they feel a little more at ease.
"What? It took less than half a day for the Song army to attack the city? What does Wanyan Shilu do for food? Pass my decree and have the 10,000 reserve troops rush to the west gate for reinforcements -"
The Manchu civil and military personnel of the Jin Kingdom, including Wanyan Shouxu himself, all knew how powerful the four powerful armies of the Song Dynasty were, and the one currently attacking Bianliang City was one of them, the "Yue Family Army".
However, no one expected that in less than half a day, the Song army would attack the city. What kind of terrifying combat power was this?
"Your Majesty, please sit here and let me go to the front line to take command."
Privy Councilor Wanyan of the Kingdom of Jin stood up from the embroidered pier slowly, but his body was still a little shaky.
"Third uncle, your body bones?"
Wanyan Shouxu also thought that he would "conquer personally". Perhaps when he appeared on the west city wall in person, he would be able to bring great encouragement to the soldiers of Dajin.
However, the timidity deep in his heart still made Wanyan Shouxu give up this unrealistic idea.
"Haha, Your Majesty, if we can defeat the Song army this time, what's the point of losing my body and bones? If I can't defeat the Song army, what's the use of my old body?"
Wanyan Saibukang said passionately, and his eyes, consciously or unconsciously, glanced at the dozen civil and military officials in the "Longde Palace".
At this time, there were four or five generals in the Longde Palace, but no one dared to look away from Wanyan Sai. They all lowered their heads, as if they were thinking about something.
"Why......"
Wanyan Saibu sighed in his heart and walked out of Longde Palace without looking back.
Wanyan Shilu straddled his horse, picked up his gun, and ran straight to the horse racing track. He looked up.
Sure enough, the top of the city was already filled with Song troops, who were marching towards the city on both sides of the horse racing road. I guess there were still more Song troops pouring in outside the city.
"Vice General Zhao, you immediately lead people to defend the city gate. You must not let the Song army capture the west gate, otherwise everything will be over -"
Seeing that his deputy general was still commanding the sergeants and wanted to protect the safety of his commander-in-chief, Wanyan Shilu immediately became anxious.
How could this happen? How could your own safety be more important than the city gate?
"The Song thief who killed a thousand swords, take your life -"
Wanyan Shilu also took the risk, flying up and down with the big iron gun in his hand, constantly picking and killing the "Yue Family Army" rushing down from the horse racing track.
"Get out of the way, let me come -"
While Wanyan Shilu was showing off his might, Qin Ju, the deputy commander of the "Yue Family Army", also rushed down from the racetrack.
Even though he came up by the ladder, Qin Ju still carried his precious spear, but he immediately changed the sudden change to an infantry battle, which was somewhat discounted.
Even so, Wanyan Shilu on the opposite side was still no match for Qin Ju.
There were only twenty or so confrontations between them. Qin Ju used the move of "moving grass to look for snakes" and used the gun in his own hand to catch Wanyan Shiluza's gun.
He used the "round" formula to push his arms into his arms, trying to remove Wanyan Shilu's big iron spear.
What can Wanyan Shilu do?
Trying desperately to withdraw his big iron gun, Qin Ju looked at the gap, held the gun with both hands and pressed hard on the opponent's big gun, using this force to lift his body up.
Although Guo Mo has not popularized martial arts in the military in recent years, senior generals like him have still practiced Xiao Zao.
Even the most traditional horse-mounted general like Qin Ju, if divided according to the realms in the martial arts world, he already has a third-rate realm.
His left leg was circled, and his right leg was stepping on Wanyan Shilu's breast shield.
With a "pop--", Wanyan Shilu was kicked off his horse. Qin Ju also took advantage of the situation and sat on Wanyan Shilu's horse.
But when Qin Ju turned his horse around again, Wanyan Shilu had already retreated to the back of the military formation under the protection of his personal guards.
"Quick, go to the city gate for reinforcements and open the west gate as soon as possible——"
Qin Ju did not pursue him. He guarded here with horses and spears to prevent Wanyan Shilu from attacking again. He kept urging the "Yue Family Army" who came down from the horse racing track.
"Bring me another horse—"
Wanyan Shilu also came to his senses and saw that the soldiers moving forward could not rush through Qin Ju's defense line, but Song troops were constantly rushing down the city wall.
Wanyan Shilu was also anxious. The deputy general only brought over a thousand people. Looking at this posture, the Song army had no less than three or four thousand people. It was only a matter of time before the west city gate was opened.
"The warriors of the Kingdom of Jin, rush over at all costs, even if they die, they will use their bodies to block the west city gate for me——"
Wanyan Shilu, who always regarded himself as a Confucian general, actually swore swear words and even killed Qin Ju who was blocking the vital point.
He knew that he was no match for Qin Ju, but at least he could entangle this man for a while, so that the more than 5,000 soldiers behind him could rush to the city gate to defend him.
The sergeants from both sides started a desperate struggle inside the not-so-narrow west gate.
After dozens of rounds of shelling, Wanyan Shilu's men were left with less than 7,000 men.
Among them, more than a thousand people, with the deputy general, had already arrived behind the west city gate. They were leaning against the city gate and using their swords and guns to prevent the "Yue Family Army" from approaching the city.
More than 2,000 "Yue family troops" who came down from the horse racing road on the north side also arrived in front of the city gate and fought with more than 1,000 Jin troops who defended to the death.
After Wanyan Shilu entangled Qin Ju, the more than 5,000 soldiers behind him surrounded the more than 2,000 "Yue family troops" from behind.
However, along the horse racing tracks on both sides, people from the "Yue Family Army" rushed down in a steady stream, killing the Jin Army in front of them.
This was a fierce battle, everyone was jealous of each other, everyone was mixed together, you are among me, and you are among me.
"winter--"
"winter--"
"winter--"
There was a violent banging sound from the west city gate, and the reverberation caused by the loud sound made the Jin soldiers in the city gate extremely uncomfortable.
...
"Your Highness, more than half of the 10,000 troops who climbed the city have already entered. The city gate has not been opened yet. It seems that they have been stubbornly blocked by the Jin army."
"The last general asked for orders to personally lead people to break open the west gate of Laoshizi——"
The soldiers at the front were fighting bloody battles, and they were in Bianliang City, which was separated by a wall. Yue Ao, who was already warlike, couldn't bear it anymore and once again asked Guo Mo for advice.
"Okay, I'll allow you to go to battle, but you must be careful and don't go in alone. Guanying, follow him with two hundred 'tiger troops' - "
"Your Highness, I——"
Lu Guanying wanted to refute, but Guo Mo glared back.
"Why, do you really think I still need your protection? Go and watch Yue Ao, this kid gets hot-headed easily when fighting."
Lu Guanying thought about it, let alone the tens of thousands of "Yue Family Army" around, even if Guo Mo was alone in the camp of tens of thousands of Jin Army, there would be no danger.
If you can go to the battlefield and fight, who would be willing to watch from behind?
Isn't this an opportunity to make meritorious deeds?
Yue Ao jumped on his horse and held the "Eight Treasures Camel Dragon Spear" in his hand in place of the military order.
"Brothers, follow Yue and break open the gate of Bianliang City——"
The big black horse under its crotch exerted force, like an arrow from the string, and headed straight for the west gate of Bianliang.
Lu Guanying seemed to have guessed what this kid wanted to do, and happily followed him on horseback.
After Yue Ao's war horse jumped over the filled moat, it did not slow down at all, and already swung the "Eight Treasures Dragon Spear" with one arm in his right hand.
The man takes advantage of the horse's power, and the horse assists with the power of the spear.
"Snapped--"
Yue Ao actually hit the city gate with a treasured spear. The city gate, which was more than ten feet high, shook violently and then returned to calm.
"Haha, brothers, please shout twice to support your Yue Dutong——"
When Lu Guanying saw that Yue Ao's attempts had no effect, he encouraged everyone behind him.
"Yue Dutong is on the verge of victory, success is imminent——"
"Yue Dutong is so powerful that he scored a goal with a single shot——"
This is how people are. The more they are encouraged by others, the more energetic they will be. Otherwise, how could there be a saying that "people go crazy"?
Since Yue Ao has chosen to do this, he can't give up halfway, let alone in front of tens of thousands of brothers?
Yue Ao pulled his horse out of the doorway again and retreated ten feet away.
"Yeah, open-"
"Snapped--"
"Snapped--"
"Kacha, boom——"
Yue Ao fired more than a dozen shots in a row. Not to mention, the gate of Bianliang City was really strong.
Unfortunately, the city gate bolts could not withstand it. After more than a dozen shots, the three door bolts in the city gate broke at the same time, and even the debris collapsed and injured the golden soldiers who were close.
"Enter--"
The "Yue Family Army" behind them had already been prepared and opened the door with all their strength.
"Bang--"
"ah--"
The two gates were opened, and even some golden soldiers were squeezed to death behind the gates.
Yue Ao stood high on his horse and could see far away. At a glance, he saw dense darkness. The "Yue Family Army" and the Jin Army had already been fighting.
Such a lively scene immediately ignited the excitement in Yue Ao's blood, and he no longer had to worry about commanding the team.
"Lao Lu, please help lead the army. A certain family went to kill people——"
"Go, follow Jin Yue Dutong, don't let him be alone."
Lu Guanying was also helpless, but he had to take over the command and sent out the two hundred "Tiger Soldiers".
When fighting on the battlefield, Lu Guanying changed into a big gun, and his "Yang Family Gun" has become extremely good over the years, especially now that he has reached the first-class level.
When it comes to picking off ordinary soldiers, Lu Guanying appears to be extraordinarily calm. He almost always kills with one shot, hitting Geng's throat right in the throat.
Yue Ao and two hundred "Hu Ben Army" were clearing the way in front. That was the "Hu Ben Army". Even the war horses were covered with leather armor, and each man had a saber in his hand. Under the above situation, the speed of killing the Jin army was not much slower than Yue Ao's. .
Soon, the more than a thousand Jin troops at the innermost gate of the city had suffered all their casualties. Even the deputy general Wanyan Shilu was smashed into pieces by Yue Ao's "Eight Treasures Dragon Spear".
"Where is the capital of Qin?"
After killing more than a thousand Jin troops at the city gate, they directly merged with the more than two thousand "Yue family troops" blocked in the middle.
However, the original more than 2,000 people were also attacked from the front and back by the Jin army, and hundreds of soldiers were lost.
"Yue Dutong and Qin Dutong are behind, but more Jin troops are surrounding them, and we can't kill them."
Some people saw that it was their own people who were asking, and they hurriedly answered.
"Wow, get out of the way, I'll go over and smash their heads--"
A general is a soldier's courage. Yue Ao shouted loudly. Thousands of "Yue Family Army" brothers in front and behind him all heard it. The depression that was originally caused by being flanked by others was swept away.
"Yue Dutong has entered the city——"
"Brothers, follow Yue Dutong to kill the gold thief——"
The more than a thousand people also turned around and attacked the Jin soldiers behind them. Yue Ao led two hundred "Hu Ben troops", but behind him were his own five hundred personal guards.
They were on horseback, and the thousands of people who were dismounted automatically moved out of the way, and soon Yue Ao started fighting again.
Qin Ju led 10,000 people to climb the city. After Yue Ao broke open the city gate, there were also 10,000 people following him. Together with the Jin soldiers stationed at the west gate, 20,000 to 30,000 people were blocked there.
Those who are fighting hand to hand can fight to the death, but more people are slowly crawling forward.
However, the "Yue Family Army" had a numerical advantage after all. Qin Ju was commanding at the front, Yue Ao was taking the lead in the middle, and Lu Guanying was taking care of him at the city gate.
This was not the case for the Jin Army. The deputy general had been killed in the battle, and the main general Wanyan Shilu had been shot twice by Qin Ju. Fortunately, it was only under the skin and flesh, and it was not fatal.
"General Wanyan, we can't stop him. There are too many Song troops."
More than a dozen soldiers risked their lives to snatch Wanyan Shilu back from Qin Ju's gun.
"this......"
Without enough time to bandage the wound, Wanyan Shilu discovered that the remaining Jin army he could see should be less than three thousand.
"General Wanyan, let's... let's retreat as soon as possible. If it's too late, it might be too late, ah——"
Before the guard finished speaking, Wanyan Shilu raised his hand and fired a shot, piercing the left chest of the guard.
"As a warrior of Dajin, how can we escape from the battlefield? Behind us is His Majesty the Emperor. If the Song people want to enter the city, let them step over our corpses——"
Wanyan Shilu gritted his teeth and once again led his personal guards to charge over.
"He's a man! Qin's gun killed an unknown person. How dare that general of the Jin Kingdom name him——"
Qin Ju witnessed all this, and even though he was hostile, he couldn't help but be impressed by Wanyan Shilu's integrity.
"Listen up, this is Wanyan Shilu, the great warrior of gold—"
At this time, Wanyan Shilu stopped hiding it and answered loudly.
"Wanyan Shilu? Okay, remember, the person who killed you is the deputy commander of the 'Yue Family Army'. A certain family is named Qin Ju, and he has accepted his fate——"
Qin Ju shook his head and urged his horse forward again.
The two had fought for dozens of rounds, and they knew each other quite well. Qin Ju could tell that this man was Ximen's general, and he didn't want to delay any longer, so he planned to send Wanyan Shilu away now.
"General Wanyan, don't panic, I'm here -"
At this moment, another large group of troops came out from Bianliang City. The leader was a veteran with white beard and hair, and the person who came was none other than Wanyan Saibu.
...
The fighting in Bianliang City was in full swing, but Guo Mo outside Bianliang City seemed a little idle.
Looking at the city gate, 10,000 "Yue family troops" were almost entering through the city gate, but their marching speed was still very slow, which showed how fierce the fighting inside was.
Guo Mo thought for a while, since he could block the 20,000 "Yue Family Army", it means that the Jin Army must have invested at least 20,000 people.
There are more than 30,000 Jin troops in the entire Bianliang City, and we knew in advance that there were 10,000 defenders at the south gate. Doesn't that mean that the north gate is now empty?
Even if the North Gate is attacked, the Jin Army may not be able to find the troops to relieve the siege for a while, and the North Gate is the closest to the palace.
"Vice General Chen, you will lead the 10,000 Yue Family Army to rush to the north gate of Bianliang City and immediately launch an attack on the north gate without any mistakes."
"promise--"
A deputy general named Chen from the "Yue Family Army" turned around and left with an army of 10,000 people.
At this time, the sun turned to the west, and it was already past midnight. It seemed that it was possible to capture Bianliang City today, depending on the final resilience of the Jin army.
"Report to your majesty, General Wanyan Shilu died in battle, and almost all of his 10,000 defenders were wiped out. Now the Privy Council envoy is personally supervising the battle there."
"Report to your majesty, more than 10,000 Song troops have been found outside the North Gate, and they have begun to attack the city. The North Gate guard is requesting reinforcements-"
Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?
Do we need to transfer the 10,000 people from the south gate?
However, if the defenders of the South Gate are transferred, what will happen to the South Gate?
The Song Dynasty dispatched a total of 50,000 troops, and after calculation, there were still 20,000 troops that had no place to move.
"Your Majesty, let's move five thousand troops through the south gate first. Once the north gate is breached, the Song army will march straight in and kill them. There are only a thousand defenders at the north gate. Ahem——"
After Shi Anshi finished speaking, he coughed violently again.
"All right......"
His eyebrows were burning, so he looked in front of his eyes first.
"Report—report to Your Majesty—"
Just as the ordering soldier went out, another golden soldier ran in.
"Your Majesty, General Cui Li from the East Gate...General Cui Li from the East Gate, leading five thousand troops, will arrive at the palace soon——"
It turned out that as soon as the battle in the west gate started, Cui Li in the east gate received the news.
He originally thought that if the Song army could enter the city through his east gate, he would be able to seize the city. Who would have thought that Guo Mo would not tighten his beard at all.
Guo Mo's move suddenly made Cui Li feel unsure.
What does it mean?
However, he, Cui Li, had no way out. He had offended the Kingdom of Jin so much that he originally had 15,000 men, but now he only had more than 7,000 left. There was still a thousand men left behind by his son to guard the water.
Village.
"Heizi, what do you mean by His Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty? Why doesn't he accept our kindness?"
For so many years, he has been adhering to the idea of "be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship", but now Cui Li is a little scratched, and he has no intention of losing his mind.
"General, at this time, you must be more calm. Although my subordinates cannot guess what His Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty means, general, as long as you grasp a few things, you will be invincible."
He was unsure of himself, but the black man in front of him looked so confident, and Cui Li couldn't help but become interested.
"Stop being so pretentious, tell me what you think as soon as possible. I will benefit from you in the future."
"Hey, look at what you said, General. What can my subordinates hide from you? Only by making more contributions can we create a bright future for our thousands of brothers."
"My subordinates have sent people to scan the city. There are only more than 30,000 Jin troops in Bianliang City. Among them, there are 10,000 troops stationed at the south gate and west gate. There are at most two or three thousand troops stationed at the imperial palace. There are only 1,000 troops stationed at the north gate.
."
"There are still 10,000 people on standby as a reserve army. We only have 6,000 troops on hand. Good steel must be used on the blade. If we can knock down the palace..."
Heizi analyzed it for a long time, but he actually wanted Cui Li to attack the palace?
"Heizi, you also said that there are still 10,000 reserve troops. If we go to attack the palace, it will obviously not be enough to fill the gaps in our teeth."
Cui Li could finally see that although the Great Jin Kingdom was about to end, the army under his command was still far behind the Jin Kingdom's imperial army.
If he wanted to defeat more with less, he might even face internal and external attacks. He estimated that his more than 6,000 people would not be enough.
"Hey, General, why are you so smart? Didn't the West Gate start an attack? I think the defenders at the West Gate won't last long. Let's wait for the 10,000 reserve troops to be dispatched before attacking the palace.
"
Once the war started at the west gate, no one paid attention to them at the east gate. Cui Li could even send out scouts at will to inquire about information throughout the city.
Bianliang City, which used to be bustling and lively, is now closed in broad daylight, fearing that war will come to your home.
In less than half a day, the Song army captured the west city wall and then breached the west city gate.
Then, the Jin Kingdom's last 10,000 reserve troops were forced to dispatch, under the personal leadership of the Privy Council's veteran general Wanyan Saibu.
Then, news came that Ximen’s general Wanyan Shilu had died heroically in battle.
Then, the north gate of Bianliang City was fiercely attacked by 10,000 Song troops.
...
"General, it's our turn—"
There were two balls of heat in Heizi's eyes for no apparent reason.
"Okay, Heizi, just stay with me. If I have any trouble, I can always ask you."
I don’t know if Cui Li completely believed in Heizi and couldn’t live without him, or if he was suspicious of Heizi?
"Hehe, of course, Heizi also wants to follow the general and see with his own eyes what the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom looks like?"
Heizi didn't think much about it, but the dozen or so people who followed him to climb the city were all ready at this time and were scattered among the 5,000 people who were about to set out to attack the palace.
Cui Li was still cautious and did not drag everyone over directly, but left more than a thousand people to guard the west gate.
He also ordered the generals who stayed behind to open the door directly to welcome them in if the Song army arrived. If it was unfavorable for him to attack the palace, he would also retreat to the east gate and make further plans.
...
"What...what should I do?"
When he heard that Cui Li was also coming to attack the palace with five thousand troops, Wanyan Shouxu suddenly lost his mind.
There were only two thousand imperial troops stationed at the palace, but there was no general to lead them who could go into battle to kill the enemy, so they had to send out their own guards, Commander Wan Yanshu.
"Heizi, this palace is not easy to fight. We don't have any siege equipment. What should we do?"
The imperial palace in Bianliang also faces south and north, with the imperial city in front and the palace city behind.
On the south side is the main city gate, with a total of three gates, and one gate on each of the other three sides.
Cui Li and the others were staying outside the "Danfeng Gate" in the middle of the south, which had five doorways. The tower above the city was called "Xuande Tower".
Heizi rolled his eyes, came to Cui Li and whispered a few words.
Cui Li looked at Heizi in surprise, not understanding what this kid was planning, but still chose to do as he said.
"Soldiers on the city tower, listen, I am Cui Li, the guard general of the Jin Kingdom. I have come to Bianliang King Qin under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom."
"I never thought that Xiaoxiao's gang would stir up trouble in front of His Majesty and attack and kill my troops in the middle of the road, resulting in the death of thousands of Dajin warriors."
"They were full of passion and came here for King Qin, but they died under the villain's conspiracy. How unfair is God?"
"Now the Song army has broken through the west gate. I heard that there are tens of thousands of Song troops attacking the north gate. General Wanyan Shilu has unfortunately died in the battle."
"At this time when the existence of the Great Jin Kingdom is in danger, I, Cui Li, am willing to give up all personal grudges and encourage Your Majesty. I only ask that Your Majesty show up to see you——"
"I just ask Your Majesty to show up to see you——"
Well, Heizi just gave a general direction casually, and Cui Li actually said it in a very emotional voice. It really made those who heard it sad and those who heard it shed tears.
Heizi listened with his eyes closed and almost believed his performance. The Cui Li in front of him was completely a loyal minister who had been wronged.
"So General Cui was wrongly accused?"
"In my opinion, if he really surrendered to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty's army would not be allowed to enter through the east gate. Would it still be necessary to spend so much effort attacking the west gate?"
"But that was what the Lord Privy Councilor said. Could it be that the old commander would also slander him?"
...
Cui Li's words still aroused discussion among the imperial troops guarding the city at "Xuande Tower".
"Lord Commander, do you think we should send someone to deliver a message to His Majesty? It's not easy for us to make the decision directly on such a big matter. If we make a mistake, big trouble may happen."
This is the original city gate captain of "Dan Feng Sect". When Wanyan Shu, the commander of the Ouchi Guards, arrived, he was automatically demoted to his deputy.
"How about Colonel Li go over and report to His Majesty himself? If someone else goes over, I, the commander, will be worried and can't explain."
At this time, do these two people still have the intention to scheming here?
"Report——Wan Yan's old commander Bu Lao made a mistake and fell from his horse. Now he is unconscious. Ximen will soon be unable to withstand it. Please inform His Majesty as soon as possible——"
At this moment, a rider came from behind Cui Lijun. Seeing that there were so many people and horses outside the "Danfeng Gate", the man did not "dare" to come over, but just reported from a distance.
The sound was neither loud nor quiet, but it was just heard by the defenders on the "Xuande Tower".
"This... Lieutenant Li, without further ado, you should support Cui Li here and come back as soon as you go -"
"General Cui, I am Wan Yanshu, the commander of the imperial guards. I already know about your matter. Now I will go and report to His Majesty for your decision. General Cui please wait a moment."
Wanyanshu comforted Cui Li, and went down to the "Xuande Tower" alone and headed to the "Longde Palace".
"What? You say the Privy Council made him fall from his horse?"
After listening to what Wan Yan Shu said, Wan Yan Shouxu was amazed.
Wanyan Sai is already very old. He is not feeling well. He has been working so hard these days that he has not slept much. He has only been out for a few hours. Could it be?...
"Your Majesty, the key is that General Cui Li has requested this. How should the general respond?"
Wanyan Shouxu was so worried that Wanyan couldn't compete, but he ignored the second half of Wanyan Shu's words.
"He wants to see me? Why does he want to see me?"
Wanyan Shouxu didn't think about it for a moment, so he asked casually.
"Well... looking at what he means, the general is worried that His Majesty still misunderstands him. Even if he wants to send troops to defend the enemy, he is worried that His Majesty will not understand him? In other words, General Cui Li's current behavior is just
A kind of 'military advice'?"
Well, the commander of the Ouchi guards is really weird. He actually made up such a good excuse for Cui Li.
"My lords, should I go see this Cui Li?"
Wanyan Shouxu asked the ministers in the "Longde Palace", but received no reply.
In fact, everyone understood in their hearts that since His Majesty the Emperor asked him personally, it meant that he did not want to go out.
However, no one dares to say such words. If the wrong words lead to Cui Li directly attacking the palace, who will bear the responsibility?
"Teacher..."
At this time, Wanyan Shouxu thought of his teacher Anshi, whom he had always relied on.
However, when he looked at Shi Anshi's position, he found that the old minister who had carried the sick body into the palace and accompanied him was actually sleeping while leaning on his back.
"Your Majesty, do you want to wake up the Master?"
The minister who didn't open his eyes asked.
"Forget it, Master is tired. He has been carrying his sick body, so let him have a good rest. I will make my own decision on this matter and go see him Cui Li——"
Outside "Danfeng Gate".
"Heizi, the person who reported the news just now was the person you arranged, right? Boy, you thought about the matter very carefully."
It turned out that the scout who had just come to inform Wanyan that he had not fallen off his horse was also arranged by Heizi, in order to further put pressure on the defenders on the "Xuande Tower" and the civil and military ministers in the palace.
After they lose more support, they will have greater possibilities to pay attention to Cui Li's team. Only by paying attention to Cui Li can they create more opportunities.
Cui Li and the others waited outside the "Danfeng Gate" for two quarters of an hour. Just when Cui Li was about to lose his patience, a head popped out of the "Xuande Tower".
"General Cui, someone is back——"
The person who spoke was none other than the commander of the Ouchi guards, Wanyan Shu, who had returned.
"Your Majesty will go up to the building immediately and ask General Cui to let his soldiers retreat a hundred steps away."
There is nothing excessive about Wan Yan Shu's request. Now is not normal. If anyone has evil intentions, the consequences will be disastrous.
"this......"
Cui Li was stunned. He had just performed a passionate performance, but he didn't expect that the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom was really here?
But now that the Emperor is here, what will he say?
Cui Li quickly looked at Heizi with his eyes.
"General, just tell the truth as you just said. I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will understand everything clearly."
Heizi's voice was slightly trembling as he spoke, as if he was hiding something.
"Okay, everyone, take a hundred steps back. Heizi, just stay with me."
Cui Li was still a little worried, so he told Heizi to stay.
When Cui Li's five thousand troops retreated a hundred steps away, there was a sound from the "Xuande Tower".
First, dozens of sword and shield wielders stood at the forefront of the "Xuande Tower" holding shields, and then several generals came up, which were also the same ones in the "Longde Palace".
At least he has the title of military commander. Whether he can fight is another matter. Wanyan Shouxu was about to go upstairs to see Cui Li, so he brought these people with him.
Finally, His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Shouxu, appeared, pretending to be calm, and waved to Cui Li under the "Xuande Tower".
"Cui Qing, you are finally here -"
Wanyan Shouxu said this with a mixture of emotions.
Since the Hebei War, Wanyan Shouxu had repeatedly issued edicts to summon Cui Li to Bianliang City. He never expected to meet under such circumstances.
"Your Majesty, my heart is in pain——"
Well, is this General Cui Li the descendant of Li Puppet, the eighth brother opera fan in the "Eight Friends of Hangu"?
I burst into tears without speaking...
Wanyan Shouxu was also shocked by Cui Li's slightly exaggerated behavior, and unconsciously leaned forward to listen to him "complaining" below.
At this moment, Heizi put his hand behind his head without leaving a trace and patted it gently.
"Swish swish——"
"Swish swish——"
Suddenly, dozens of cold arrows were fired from the five thousand retreating soldiers, heading straight for Wanyan Shouxu, who was concentrating on listening to the story.
Under the sunlight, the arrow tips glowed brightly.
"Your Majesty, get out of the way -"
In the "Xuande Tower", the one who really has the skills is Wan Yanshu, the commander of the Imperial Guards.
Even though he became the commander of the Ouchi Guards because he was a member of the Wanyan clan, his skills were not weak, and he was still a first-rate master.
It's a pity that he has been obsessed with practicing martial arts since he was a child. He only came out to protect the emperor in the past few years. He is considered a man with limited skills but not much practical experience.
Having already ordered Cui Li's men to retreat a hundred steps away, his focus of precaution was still on Cui Li himself, but he ignored the five thousand men and horses in the distance.
Even so, Wanyan Shu still tried his best to grab the Golden Emperor and rolled away most of the arrows with his sleeves.
Unfortunately, these arrows were shot by more than a dozen people from different angles and arrived almost at the same time.
In the end, two arrows could not be blocked, and one arrow directly pierced the shoulder of a military commander next to him.
Another arrow grazed Wanyan Shouxu's scalp, knocking off the crown on his head and taking away a trace of flesh.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? Fire an arrow and shoot Cui Li to death——"
Wanyanshu gave the order in a filial manner, and even drew a stiff bow himself.
The bow opened like a full moon, and the arrow flew like a shooting star, heading straight for Cui Li's throat.
"ah--"
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
The Emperor of Jin scratched his scalp, and Cui Li fell down from his horse and died with his eyes open...
